Chapter 102: Defending the City
"Miss Zhao, what is the plan of King Ruyang? Could it be that you have changed your mind? ”
Su Cheng asked Zhao Min on the side, King Ruyang came with a million troops, and no one could remain indifferent.
Speculation is speculation after all, if Yuan Ting did not recall King Ruyang, and King Ruyang planned to fight hard, Ying Tianfu might be able to hold out for ten days and half a month, but sooner or later it would be broken.
Not to mention anything else, if King Ruyang blocked the passage around Ying Tianfu, it would only take three months to starve everyone in Ying Tianfu to death.
"It turns out that Master Su, you will also be worried."
Zhao Minjiao said in a voice, without powder, her appearance was peerless, a smile flashed on her pretty face, and she said:
"With my understanding of my father, my father will definitely attack the city, but he should not use all his strength, you can rest assured that Master Su."
If King Ruyang is really a stupid person, how can he occupy the position of Taiwei for more than ten years in the Yuan Court, where there is such a powerful infighting, this is definitely not something that a reckless person can do.
Su Cheng nodded, but he didn't say anything, with his martial arts cultivation, he could leave Yingtianfu City at any time, what he was worried about was that the righteous army here still had the people, once the city was broken, the Yuan Ting army would inevitably slaughter the city.
Even if the King of Ruyang wants to stop it, he is afraid that he will not be able to catch it, and if he forcibly stops it, the King of Ruyang is afraid that he will also be attacked by the army.
"Although the Mengyuan army lives up to the strength of a hundred years ago, it is not that we can resist, only defending the city is our way out, and then the righteous army will take turns to defend the city, and we and other people in the rivers and lakes must not relax, while the righteous army defends the city, we must also go to help defend the city.
Not only to defend against the masters that may appear in the Yuan Court, but also to help the righteous army defend the city in times of danger. ”
Zhang Wuji said loudly above, and then discussed with everyone to arrange the good hands of the rivers and lakes to assist the righteous army in defending the city.
The four walls of Yingtianfu are almost more than a thousand zhang away, and if you want to defend each place closely, you need a lot of masters.
The king of Ruyang is not an ordinary person, there is no shortage of masters under his command, and they must be on guard against the possibility of the other party using masters to break through the city wall.
In the end, the result of the discussion was that the Ming Sect was responsible for the defense of the city wall in the east, while the Quanzhen Sect, where Sioux City was located, was in charge of the west, while Shaolin, Kongtong, and Kunlun were in charge of the south, and Wudang and Emei were in charge of the north.
Time passed in a flash, and just a day later, the Yuan Court army came to the outside of the city, and after a short rest, they began to attack the city.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the boundless army outside, everyone looked solemn, seeing and hearing, after all, there were two feelings, the movement brought by this million army was really magnificent.
Such a huge army, let alone dealing with these rebels, is enough even if it is a war to destroy the country.
From the situation of these Yuan Court armies under the city, Su Cheng can see that the ability of King Ruyang to govern the army is really extraordinary.
Now there is no such communication conditions as in later generations, let alone millions of people, without a certain means and ability, it is a trouble to manage dozens of people, and if the number of people is thousands, it may already be a big mess.
"Kill......"
"Kill......"
Watching the Yuan Ting army rushing towards the city wall with ladders and siege vehicles, there was a dense army behind him, swarming towards Ying Tianfu.
In the face of this endless number of soldiers, Su Cheng asked himself that his martial arts cultivation was good, but it was impossible to kill everyone, if there was no rebel army defending the city, he would definitely retreat early at this time.
It's like humans have an advantage in the face of ants, but if it's thousands of ants, I'm afraid that anyone will be frightened and flee in embarrassment.
However, in the current situation, there is no need for Su Cheng and others to take action, on the first day of the siege, there is no shortage of things in the city to defend the city, there is everything such as gold juice and arrows, which is enough to repel the Yuan Ting army that is besieging the city.
After all, although the Yuan Court army has one million, when attacking the city, the only people who can be used are those people.
The scene became tragic for a while, with blood and severed limbs flying, screams and fighting sounds, like purgatory on earth.
"Childe, this ......"
Xiao Zhao on the side couldn't bear it, and he couldn't understand the cruelty of the battlefield without personal experience.
Imagine a familiar person, who was still talking to you just now, but his head was separated in a moment, or his body was cut off, and his intestines and internal organs flowed to the ground, and this person was still wailing miserably, such an experience is not something that anyone can endure.
"There is no way, what you and I can do now is to end the troubled times as soon as possible, so that the world can reduce unnecessary fighting."
Su Cheng's face was solemn, it was only a moment's effort, there were already thousands of dead and injured people in the field, and seeing the fresh lives constantly dying, it was a person who would feel heavy.
Judging from the current situation, if the siege is completed today, I am afraid that the number of casualties will exceed 10,000.
Because this time is different from the future generations, those who are injured on the battlefield are actually similar to those who die, and they are extremely susceptible to infection, which is why the mortality rate is so high.
Stomp, stomp!
At this moment, a group of people walked on the city wall in the distance, led by a suit of armor and a dark face, it was Xu Da of the Ming Sect, who stepped forward and said:
"The last general has seen Su ...... Su Zhangjiao, how is the situation on your side? ”
After the easy-going Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved of his post and the people were also placed under house arrest, Xu Da and others were naturally released, and they were also granted a suicide note to these people, responsible for the defense of Yingtianfu this time.
For the loyalty of Xu Da and others, Su Cheng and Zhang Wuji and others have no worries, firstly, they are confident in their own strength, and secondly, they have been sent to monitor these people.
"Nothing for the time being, General Xu, what do you think of the current situation?"
Su Cheng still attaches great importance to Xu Da, a famous general of this generation, and wants to learn some views from the other party.
"Su Zhangjiao, for your previous opinion, the last general is extremely recognized, there are many contradictions within the Yuan Court, and the Yuan Court army will not stay for a long time, otherwise with the ability of the King of Ruyang to govern the army, it is impossible to attack the city so urgently."
Xu Da looked at the siege of the Yuanting army outside the city, shook his head and said:
"The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, the heart is the top, and the soldier is the bottom.
Siege has always been the most helpless choice, or persuasion, or send spies, or dig tunnels, or assassination, etc., these are the best means of siege, to hit local morale as the first priority, forcibly attack a city like Yingtianfu, can only be a waste of soldiers' lives. ”
Xu Da really deserves to be a famous general, and from the siege of the Yuan Ting army, he judged some of Ruyang's thoughts.
"General Xu has a point."
Su Cheng nodded when he heard this, and he was full of appreciation for Xu Da in his heart, and it was not without reason that he could become the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the head of the "Six Kings" of the founding of the country.
In addition to Xu Da, the same is true for Chang Yuchun, Tang He and others, all of whom have extraordinary abilities and calm the world, and these people are really indispensable.
