In the entire Yuan army array, all the artillery crews were already panicked, and they didn't dare to continue firing at all.

Seeing this, several generals of the Yuan army also had to persuade the barbarian Hague.

"My lord, let's let the artillery back a little, the thieves are too accurate, and no one dares to move forward."

"Yes, my lord, back down a little and increase the amount of charge, and you can also bombard the city of Jiezhou."

"My lord, stand back, or I'm afraid the army's heart will be shaken."

The barbarian Hague's face turned pale, but he had to accept these proposals.

In just a few rounds of shelling, more than 20 artillery pieces were destroyed, and if there were another 10 rounds of 8 rounds, I am afraid that the whole army would be wiped out.

"Eighty steps back!" The barbarian Hague said unwillingly.

Eighty more paces of distance is equivalent to 150 meters.

This is already beyond the effective range of the three-pounder gun, and it is only a matter of luck to hit the target.

The only two twelve-pounder guns were barely able to fire.

"My lord, it's too far, do you want to continue?" Hu Yiba said lying on the head of the city.

When Zhu Han saw the Yuan army retreating, he shook his head.

"No, at such a distance, even if it is a cannonball, I don't believe they can hit it."

The artillery of the Yuan army is inferior to Zhu Han's new artillery in terms of craftsmanship and material.

A cannonball fired at such a distance can only scrape the city wall of the state.

But.

The artillery of the defenders of the state stopped roaring, but the Yuan army refused to stop.

Ignoring the opposition of the Han generals, the barbarian Hague forced the gunners to reload more gunpowder, ignoring any rumors of exploding.

The Han gunners had no choice but to risk reloading more than half of the gunpowder.

"Whoever can't hit the city wall of the state, the first military stick, the second beheading!"

A group of Mongol soldiers from The Hague shouted loudly behind the gunners.

Even if the Han gunners were reluctant, they did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and the butcher's knives of the Mongols were merciless.

With an order, the Yuan army issued an order to fire and open fire.

Boom!

A loud bang sounded in front of the Yuan army's position, and huge smoke rose up.

"What!"

The coach of the barbarian Hague was shocked and his ears roared.

He immediately turned his head to look, only to see that several artillery pieces of the Yuan army were crooked, and a group of soldiers were also blown up and bleeding to death.

There were also many soldiers who were seriously wounded, and they were wailing in pain on the ground.

"My lord, blow up!"

A general of the Yuan army said with a frightened expression on his helmet.

"Blow up!"

The barbarian Hague suddenly looked annoyed.

Because the distance is too far, if you want to hit the city wall, you have to reload more gunpowder.

However, the fragile chamber could not withstand excessive pressure at all, and it was shattered in an instant.

The casualties caused by this explosion were more than 30 people, which was much more powerful than the first three rounds of bombardment by the Yizhou Rebel Army.

"My lord, you can't fight anymore, the thieves must have used witchcraft, our artillery has been enchanted, and if we continue to fight, we will definitely suffer backlash!" A Han army general pleaded bitterly.

All the sorcery is just a pretext for him.

The distance is too far to avoid the explosion at all.

"No, shoot me again, if anyone dares to disobey the military order, they will be beheaded immediately!" The barbarian Hague showed no mercy.

"My lord, but ......" the Han army general still had to persuade.

Syllable!

A whip sounded and slapped the Han general's face.

Immediately it was a hot scar.

"Shut up! My son Tuhuan is already dead, you lowly Han people, do you dare to steal life? If you don't break through the city of Jizhou this time, then you Han people will be killed! "The barbarian Hague has run out of reason.

Seeing this, the general of the Han army did not dare to persuade him again, so he could only obediently obey his orders.

The gunners of the Yuan army, forced by the military order, had to take the risk of re-preparing to reload and fire.

Just now, when the Yuan army's artillery exploded, Zhu Han could see it clearly at the head of the city of Jiezhou.

"Haha, these Tartar artillery, as expected, is useless, such a distance, it is explosive." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"My lord, if we don't bomb them, let them see how good we are." Hu Yiba said triumphantly beside him.

The Yuan army was deployed in the distance, and although the artillery of the rebels was not accurate, it could still bombard the array in the front row.

"No, keep the gunpowder and don't waste it." Zhu Han said.

In addition to the gunpowder reserves in the state city, a lot was taken away by Zhou Dexing and Zhu Yuanzhang, and now the stock is very limited and must be saved.

"Hey, the Tartars are going to keep firing?"

Just as Zhu Han was speaking, he suddenly saw that the Yuan army outside the city was preparing to reload and fire the cannon again.

"Aren't these Tartars afraid of death?" Hu Yiba was also disdainful.

The soldiers of the rebel army in addition to the state also let out bursts of laughter.

After a series of artillery attacks, the confidence of the defenders of the state has increased greatly, and they are no longer as weak as they were at the beginning.

Rumble!

With a roar, it sounded again on the position of the Yuan army.

The crude artillery of the Yuan army was once again blown up.

All of a sudden, the rebels in the city of Except for the state let out even louder laughter.

Many people even made up a joke and began to shout and laugh loudly.

For these behaviors, Zhu Han did not stop them.

For morale, it's a good encouragement.

In the Yuan army array, it was different.

There were terrible explosions one after another, and the Han gunners were unwilling to continue.

The Yuan army didn't give them a way to live at all.

At such a distance, there is less gunpowder to be loaded, and you can't hit the city wall to kill your head.

I loaded too much gunpowder, and I blew up my own chamber and died without a whole body.

Many Han gunners simply threw away the things in their hands, and all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Even if it is dealt with by military law, it is nothing more than killing the head, once it is blown up, it will be dead and dead.

"My lord, I can't do this anymore, my morale is not guaranteed." A Yuan army general persuaded.

"Yes, my lord, our strength is ten times that of the thieves, so we can't be so urgent."

"My lord, even if we don't have to bombard the city with artillery, let's catch more Han people nearby, let them fill the trenches, consume the strength of the thief army, and then attack the city, we can succeed!"

The barbarian Hague has also calmed down.

Although he didn't care about the life and death of the Han soldiers, there were too many explosions, which affected morale.

Many Mongol soldiers were superstitious about gunpowder weapons.

If there were a series of bombings, many people would think that there were ghosts and gods helping the rebels.

"Let the gunners stop for the time being, and a few of you go to set up sentry posts around, and not a single thief is allowed to escape!"

The barbarian Hague said.

"Yes, my lord!"

The artillery of the Yuan army is finally dumb.

After some tossing, the sky has gradually darkened.

The Yuan army began to send cavalry to raid the Han people and their grain and livestock in the surrounding area.

All of a sudden, there were screams outside the state city, and black smoke burned everywhere.

The soldiers of the rebel army who had just won the first battle were all in another burst of grief and indignation.

"My lord, the Tartars have cleaned up the outside of the city!" Hu Yiba looked at the black smoke outside the city, revealing a look of hatred.

"Even if we defend the city of Except Zhou, I'm afraid the outside of the city will become a blank field." Zhu Han was also a little unwilling.

However, he only had 3,000 soldiers of the New Army in his hands, and he was reluctant to defend the city, and he did not have any extra troops to go out of the city to stop the Yuan army's burning and looting.

At this time, Lu Zhongheng and Chen Baodao also came back to recover their lives.

"My lord, the grain and grass have already been apportioned, and the big families have begun to carry the grain, grass and money to the official office." Chen Baodao arched his hand and said.

"Well, well, a curfew will be imposed in the city immediately, and no one is allowed to go out without a military order, so as to prevent conspiracy." Zhu Han said.

These large households were put under house arrest by themselves, in order to prevent them from using the strength of each family to oppose the water.

"The Tartars are starting to set fire?" Lu Zhongheng on the side suddenly said.

Chen Baodao and Lu Zhongheng were very angry when they saw the Yuan army outside the city start to burn and loot.

"My lord, you can't defend the city all the time, you must go out of the city to raid, and don't let the Tartars prepare for war with peace of mind." Chen Baodao said.

Zhu Han had no experience in how to defend the city at all.

Hearing Chen Baodao's words, he immediately asked him.

"What do you mean, tell me quickly."

Chen Baodao pointed to the outside and said:

"My lord, when I was in the official army, oh no, when I was in the Tartar army, I learned a lot of experience, if I blindly held out, the enemy army outside the city could use all the manpower and material resources outside to form a siege of the city, or arrange ambushes in advance to attack the reinforcements, the defending army must attack more, destroy the enemy's arrangement, explore the enemy's movements, and wait until the reinforcements arrive, so that they can do the inside and outside, otherwise even if there are reinforcements outside the city, they will not be able to cooperate."

When Zhu Han heard this, he nodded very approvingly.

The messenger he sent to ask for help, even if he arrived in Dingyuan City, it was useless, and he had to go to Haozhou to find Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because Dingyuan County only has the ability to protect itself at most, the old, weak, women and children of the righteous army are basically in Dingyuan, and it is impossible for them to have extra troops to come to the rescue.

In this way, the state will have to hold out for a long time before it can wait for reinforcements.

"Just blindly relying on defending the city, it is impossible to defend the Tartars to retreat, these Tartar soldiers are all from the south of the Yangtze River, where there is abundant grain and grass, if you fall into a siege of attrition, it is a competition for grain and grass, our grain and grass can not compare with theirs." Chen Baodao continued.

"Very well said, what do you have in mind, hurry up and tell me." Zhu Han said.

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead three hundred elite soldiers to go out of the city to counterattack the enemy camp and create a batch of chaos." Chen Baodao took the initiative to ask for battle.

"What, three hundred, that's too dangerous." Zhu Han was taken aback.

"My lord, there are a lot of three hundred, all of them are the elite of the killer team under them, which is enough, and no matter how many people there are, it is useless." Chen Baodao said.

In Zhu Han's new army, the 3,000 soldiers and horses were basically infantry using new muskets and spears, and there were only 300 elite sword and shield soldiers, and there was a killer team, which could be regarded as an elite that could fight in close combat.

"Does Three Hundred Really Work?" Zhu Han was still a little worried.

Three hundred is not much, but for three thousand, it is a lot.

The loss of one-tenth of the troops, if it is on the battlefield, is already capable of breaking down an army.

Zhu Han must be cautious.

"Don't worry, as long as you can get out of the city at night, you will definitely be safe and sound!" Chen Baodao said loudly.

"Okay, then I'll give you some more Molotov cocktails, which you can use to set fires more!" Zhu Han nodded and said.

The so-called Molotov cocktail is, of course, a mixture of distilled high-concentration alcohol, which is specially used to set fires.

"Subordinates obey!" Chen Baodao said with his fists clenched.

Seeing this, Zhu Han suddenly thought of something.

Since taking Chen Baodao under his command, his martial arts are admirable.

But if you want to say that you want to take the initiative to fight, this is the first time.

"Chen Baodao." Zhu Han suddenly said again.

"My lord, the end will be." Chen Baodao hurriedly responded.

"What reward do you want for meritorious service?" Zhu Han asked.

Chen Baodao's eyes turned, and it was obvious that he had already thought about it in his heart.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, just say it." Zhu Han smiled slightly.

"My lord, the last general wants to ask for a mother-in-law and leave incense for the Chen family, even if I have any accidents in the future, I can be regarded as worthy of my ancestors." Chen Baodao said.

According to the military law in the righteous army, except for generals at the level of commander or above of the thousand households, the rest of the people are not allowed to marry, or have wives, except for those who are in the nest, they are not allowed to live together, in order to ensure the implementation of military orders.

Although Chen Baodao is the commander of the elite army, he is not enough to command the level of a thousand households.

"Okay, I promise you, as long as the Tartars retreat this time, I will promote you to the commander of the new army of thousands of households, just like Hu Yiba!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir!" Chen Baodao hurriedly thanked.

"Don't worry, not only that, but I also want the marshal to be in charge, marry you a lady, and then go back to your hometown in style!" Zhu Han said.

"Back home?" Chen Baodao looked surprised.

His hometown is in Kaifeng, Henan, which is far away from here, and it is a heavily guarded place belonging to the Tartars.

Encouraged by his promotion and marrying, Chen Baodao immediately led his three hundred sword and shield soldiers to prepare.

By the time it was dark, they had already fallen down the rope from the city wall with their fires and short knives and light armor.

Zhu Han lay on the head of the city, frowning as they disappeared into the night.

"Damn, this Chen Baodao, if I run out to throw tartars, then am I a big idiot?"

Zhu Han suddenly had a thought.

Fortunately, Chen Baodao was not as unbearable as he thought.

"Look, my lord!"

In the dark night, Hu Yiba's voice came.

Zhu Han saw that the Yuan army camp outside the city was lit up one by one.

One, two.

Until there are dozens of places.

Obviously, the elite sword and shield soldiers led by Chen Baodao touched the vicinity of the Yuan army's camp.

"Open the cannon, and go far!" Zhu Han said immediately.

"Yes, my lord!"

Hu Yiba immediately ran to prepare.

In the dark and dreary night, a cannon shot rang out at the head of the city.

The range of the artillery of the rebel army was far beyond the imagination of the Yuan army.

One by one, the shells smashed into the vicinity of the Yuan army's camp, making the originally panicked army even more chaotic.

"My lord, the thieves are attacking!"

"Thieves sneak attack!"

Several Yuan generals rushed to the outside of the barbarian Hague's camp and shouted loudly.

"Panic what!"

The barbarian Hague rushed out in armor and shouted loudly.

In the dark night, the Yuan army did not know how many people the Yizhou Righteous Army had sent to sneak attack.

They didn't dare to go out of the camp to chase after them, and in addition to being bombarded by artillery, the barbarians in The Hague were also afraid of the army bombing the camp.

"Give me the camp overnight, and then set up camp two hundred steps back!" The barbarian Hague said helplessly.

"My lord, obey!"

Several generals hurriedly went to restrain their subordinates and prepared to pull out the camp overnight.

As the fires lit up everywhere, Chen Baodao and the others, who were fighting in the chaos, could not hide their whereabouts, so they hurriedly returned to the city of Jiezhou.

The Yuan army simply lit a continuous torch on the camp, and the entire camp was bright in front of it.

"These dog thieves!"

The barbarian Hague saw the elite of the rebels who ran back to the city of Jiezhou, and scolded angrily.

If I had known that it was such an enemy, the barbarian Hague would have sent cavalry to chase after it.

Upon returning to the city, the defenders let out a cheer.

Chen Baodao was also happy.

"My lord, I took advantage of the chaos to behead more than a hundred, and I also burned several peripheral barracks of the Tartars!" Chen Baodao said.

Subsequently, a bunch of heads were piled up in front of Zhu Han.

Each head emitted a bloody stench.

Zhu Han was very happy, "Haha, okay, it's so cheap, if you come a few more times, even if there are many people in the Tartars, they can't stand it." ”

Zhu Han already understood that although the results of this night attack did not seem great, it could greatly damage the morale of the enemy army.

Once nightfall, no one can sleep peacefully, and the spirit is extremely tense, and it is very easy to be confused.

Chen Baodao shook his head, "My lord, I'm afraid this strategy is not very useful, the Tartars retreat and set up camp, they must set up more sentry posts in front, even if it is a night attack, it is dangerous, maybe before they get out of the city, they will be killed by the Tartars' arrows." ”

Things turned out to be as Chen Baodao said.

By the evening of the next day, the barbarian Hague sent many elite Yuan troops to ambush in the city of Except Zhou, all of them carrying strong bows, once they saw the head of the city with a rope to let people fall, they were immediately shot with arrows.

"My lord, the Tartar has learned a lesson, and it seems that it will not work." Hu Yiba said with some pity.

"No, I think we can give it a try." Zhu Han smiled slightly.

Chen Baodao was a little nervous, "My lord, no one knows how many ambushes the Tartars have in the night." ”

"We don't seek to kill the enemy this time, we want to target the Tartars to get their mentality." Zhu Han said.

Hu Yiba, Chen Baodao, Lu Zhongheng and others were all puzzled.

"My lord, do you have their mentality?"

They didn't understand what it meant.

"Haha, it's very simple, it's to mess with their military hearts!"

Zhu Han immediately arranged for the defenders to quickly make thousands of dummies out of straw, and then slowly lowered them to the city wall with ropes, as if they were sending troops outside the city to attack.

Really.

The Yuan army outside the city ambushed the soldiers in the night, and saw a faint figure at the head of the city in addition to the state, and they were immediately overjoyed.

According to the order of the barbarian Hague, they rushed to the city one by one with a roar and shot a flurry of arrows, all the time shooting their arms were sore, and the straw men did not know the slightest bit, and then they left satisfied.

"Quick, let me cry."

Seeing this, Zhu Han smiled and commanded.

"Huh? My lord, why are you crying? Chen Baodao didn't understand.

Hu Yiba next to him, how clever he was, immediately understood what Zhu Han meant, and cried on the spot.

"Brother! What a miserable death you have had! ”

"Dog Tartar, I killed my brother with random arrows!"

All of a sudden, the rebel soldiers defending the city cried out in a fake way.

When the Yuan army in the dark heard this, he immediately left satisfied.

By daylight the next day.

Yuan Jun was very surprised to find out......

The 'rebels' they shot with arrows last night turned out to be straw dummies.

The barbarian Hague suddenly scolded angrily.

In order to vent his anger, the barbarian Hague immediately ordered the thousands of Han people looted around him to form a vanguard, and use their lives to storm the city of Jiezhou.

"My lord, what should I do?"

In addition to the head of the city, Hu Yiba saw thousands of Han people, carrying soil and stones on their shoulders, running towards the moat.

"What to do, if they fill in the moat, the Tartars will go straight to the city." Zhu Han said.

Hu Yiba immediately nodded, "My lord, the last general understands, and immediately send someone to shoot them with arrows!" ”

Syllable!

Zhu Han immediately gave Hu Yibayi a whip and hit him hard on the buttocks.

"Fart, these are all our Han people, who asked you to shoot them!" Zhu Han said.

"What do you say you want to do, my lord?" Hu Yiba's face was aggrieved.

"Immediately prepare to lower the drawbridge, open the city gates, and let these people rush into the city!" Zhu Han said.

Hu Yiba was suddenly shocked.

"My lord, no, if this is mixed with Tartar spies, what can I do!" Hu Yiba said.

"What are you afraid of, just open the city gate and let them enter the urn city, but the inner city gate can't be opened." Zhu Han said.

If you want to say that the biggest thing you have done after occupying the state, it is to build a few urn cities, which come in handy at this time.

First screen these people in the urn city, and then they can be transformed into troops to defend the city.

These Han civilians, who were driven to death, thought that they would be killed by the defenders after approaching the city of Zhuzhou.

Unexpectedly, a shout came from the city wall.

"Folks, enter the city and run for your life!"

"Enter the city, run for your life!"

Immediately afterwards, the suspension bridges and city gates of the city were opened one by one.

These poor Han people immediately threw down the mud and stones, rushed to the drawbridge like madness, and fled into the city.

The Mongol cavalry, who were in the rear, were afraid of the artillery and bows and arrows at the head of the city, and did not dare to come forward to pursue them.

"Traitor! Traitor! ”

When the barbarian Hague saw this, he immediately became angry again.

At this time.

In addition to the state city, there were bursts of shouting.

"Xie Zuocheng's arrow!"

"Xie Zuocheng's young man!"

In this ridicule, the morale of the Yuan army suddenly plummeted.

"Tori doesn't spend!" The barbarian Hague roared.

"My lord, the last general!" A man of lust leaned up and said.

"You bring soldiers and horses, and then go and catch more Han people, mix some of our elite soldiers, see that the state thief army still dares to open the city gate, and immediately sneak in and seize the city!" The barbarian Hague said viciously.

"The last general obeys!"

The favorite thing that this color-eyed general named Tori Buhua liked was to rely on the prestige of the Mongols to oppress the Han people.

All of a sudden, the Han villages outside the state city were looted.

After entering the night, Zhu Han ordered to prepare more scarecrows.

"My lord, can it still be useful? There's no way the Tartars can be fooled. Hu Yiba was a little skeptical.

"Again and again, again and again, this is only used once, even if the Tartar is suspicious, it is impossible to take risks." Zhu Han said.

This kind of mentality thing, Zhu Han is the best at it.

Really.

When the Yizhou rebel army released the scarecrow again, the Yuan army outside the city knew that it was a ploy, and they didn't dare to take the risk and ignore it.

"Shoot!"

"Shoot me with a rocket!"

The barbarian Hague himself came to the city and commanded the archers to shoot.

These scarecrows have long been splashed with water, and the Tartar rockets are simply useless.

Rather, because of their ignition, they reveal their place in the night.

"Hu Yiba!" Zhu Han smiled slightly.

"Your Excellency!"

"Aim at those lights and blast me with artillery!" Zhu Han said.

"Yes, my lord!"

Immediately after, a roar of artillery rang out.

Rumble!

Boom!

A miserable scream sounded around the barbarian Hague, and several personal soldiers immediately dragged the barbarian Hague and fled in embarrassment.

Some of the unlucky Tartar archers were instantly smashed to pieces.

After tossing in the middle of the night, the Yuan army not only did not hurt a single rebel soldier, but lost a lot of archers.

When the sky brightened, a piece of stumps and broken arms were left under the city of Except Zhou.

Tens of thousands of feathered arrows were again collected by the scarecrows of the righteous army.

The barbarian Hague was angry, and despite the opposition of the generals, he ordered the artillery to open fire and bombard the city of Jiezhou.

However, these guns were either not enough to be loaded with gunpowder, and the shells were weak when they smashed on the city wall, or they were too charged, and they immediately blew up and killed a piece of their own people.

In addition to the head of the state city, Zhu Han led a group of generals, as well as Lu Wendao and other gentry from the state, enjoying the performance of the Yuan army outside the city.

Especially Lu Wendao and other gentry in addition to the state, they are all very happy.

"It turns out that the famous Tartar only has this ability."

"It's not that the Tartars are not strong, it's that our rebels are mighty."

"If you want me to say, it's still Vice Marshal Zhu's might!"

Lu Wendao and the others were all patted on the back for a while.

Although Zhu Han didn't eat this set, he was still very happy to see their mentality change.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid the Tartars will have to take a desperate stance." Chen Baodao said beside him.

"Desperate?" Zhu Han asked.

"Yes, my lord, you see that these Tartars are plundering more harshly around, they must be more robbed of the young and strong, and when the number of young and strong people increases, they will immediately drive them to fill the trench moat in front with human lives, and then the army will attack close to the city wall, there are too many of them, more than ten times that of us, if you really go crazy and attack the city, it is really difficult." Chen Baodao said.

Zhu Han was also a little worried when he heard this.

If such tactics were followed, the Yuan army would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

However, the rebel army is only more than 3,000 people, and all the young and strong people are only less than 10,000, and it will be very difficult.

In the Yuan army camp outside the city.

Coach The Hague really intends to use this tactic.

After all, even if it is a desperate attempt to capture the state, it is worth it.

However, it is a pity that with the exception of the barbarian Hague, almost all the generals of the Yuan army were against this tactic.

Because even if the trench was filled with the lives of the Han people, they had to go into battle in person to climb and fight for the city wall.

After nearly a hundred years of good life, in addition to the fierce prestige of the Mongols, the real inside has already changed.

At that time, the Mongols conquered the Quartet, relying on the courage of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Now they are very desperate for their lives, and no one is willing to fight for their lives.

As for those Han generals, they were even more prepared one by one, if these dog-day Mongols dared to force them to take the lead and die, they would come to a bombing camp and flee.

"You shit!"

Everyone refused to agree, and the barbarian Hague could only throw down a word of resentment.

At this time, it was the color general Tori Buhua who said.

"My lord, we have brought many craftsmen who can make punch carts and tower carts, and use these things to get close to the city wall, so that there will be no need to kill or injure many people."

Small kiosk

"Okay, Tori doesn't spend it, I'll take care of it!" The barbarian Hague said.

"Yes, my lord!"

To make these siege equipment, it is absolutely impossible to complete it without ten days and half a month.

It was night again, and Zhu Han called Chen Baodao and others again.

"My lord, but you want to put a scarecrow again?" Hu Yiba asked excitedly.

"Fart, you think the Tartars are stupid." Zhu Han rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to let the real person go."

Zhu Han said to Chen Baodao.

"This time I will give you some more gunpowder, and the east side of the city is the Tartars' grain and grass camp, and I will go there and set fire to them, and burn their grain and grass."

One of the wounded Mongols yesterday was captured and returned to the city of Zhuzhou, revealing a lot of useful information.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Go ahead!"

This time, the rebels took advantage of the night again and put down the scarecrow first.

The Mongol cavalry in the night outside the city soon spotted the scarecrows.

One by one, they let out a laugh.

No one is a fool, how can he be deceived three times.

Chen Baodao and others took this opportunity to fall outside the city one by one, and came to the outside of the Yuan army's grain and grass camp by feeling the road in the night.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, a large hole was blown into the wall of the Yuan military camp.

Chen Baodao and the others rushed in, killing and burning indiscriminately.

The Yuan army in the dark night didn't know how many people came to sneak attack, and it was immediately a mess, and there was no strong resistance at all.

Most of the military rations and baggage were ignited by ignition.

Chen Baodao and the others immediately accepted it when they saw it, and fled in the night before the Yuan army restored order.

Wait until the next day.

Almost half of the heavy grain and grass of the entire Yuan army was burned.

The barbarian Hague wants to cry without tears.

"My lord, the grain and grass have been destroyed, and the morale of our army has been affected." Tori asked.

"What do you mean, do you want to retire too?" The barbarian Hague's eyes widened.

Many generals of the Yuan army persuaded the barbarians The Hague to retreat and defend Liuhe, and wait until the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River were collected and transported, and then send troops to remove the state.

How could the barbarian Hague be willing to listen to these advices, he immediately whipped a few leading generals and strictly ordered all the troops to prepare to storm the state.

"My lord, the last general will not dare, but now it will take at least half a month for the siege equipment to be ready." Tori said.

"What are you afraid of, my Great Mongolian warrior, no artillery, no tower car, it was different to dominate the world back then!" The barbarian Hague shouted.

"Pass my order, all departments build ladders, and immediately prepare to attack the city!"

The barbarian Hague has gradually lost his mind.

Under the orders of the commander-in-chief, the various departments began to make ladders and prepare to attack the city of Zhuzhou.

"It looks like the Tartars are really going to fight hard." Zhu Han looked outside the city and said with a smile.

"My lord, or at night, let me sneak up on them again and burn their ladder." Chen Baodao said.

The success of two consecutive sneak attacks has already made Chen Baodao full of confidence.

"No, the Tartars are already on guard, maybe the whole camp won't sleep, just waiting for you to deliver it to the door." Zhu Han said with a smile.

Today's defenders in addition to the state have already made the Yuan army mentally confused.

Since they want to fill it with human lives, it is better to come.

Under the strict orders of the barbarian Hague, the various utensils of the Yuan army were made quickly.

It was only used for five days, and all the tower cars and punch cars were made, and I don't know how many Han craftsmen were forced to be forced for a few days and nights without closing their eyes.

These towers were tall enough to carry dozens of people, and huge wooden wheels were installed underneath to propel closer to the walls, and then huge drawbridges were released from the tops leading directly to the walls.

"Someone, attack!"

The Yuan army besieged the city on all sides and immediately began a new offensive.

………………

Dingyuan City.

The first enemy attack information sent from the state was Dingyuan City.

The people who stayed in Dingyuan were Tang He and Li Shanchang.

The two of them had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in their hands.

And the old and weak women and children of the Dingyuan armies cannot be left without protection.

For a while, they were powerless about the war situation in Haozhou, so they could only send someone to Haozhou to inform Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ma Xiuying, as the marshal's wife, heard that the 100,000 yuan army was surrounding the 3,000-strong people, and immediately came to the front hall from the back house.

"Madame, why are you here?"

Li Shanchang hurriedly saluted.

Ma Xiuying returned the salute patiently, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Li, in addition to the state emergency, Ahan is besieged, why didn't he send troops to rescue?" ”

Li Shanchang's face was embarrassed for a while, "Madam, it's not that you don't want to save it, you really don't have extra troops, we only have seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, even if you go, you will be sent to death." ”

Tang He, who was on the side, was also worried, "Brother and sister, there are too few of us, if we want to rescue the state, we have to rely on the main force of the handsome." ”

Ma Xiuying naturally knows about these situations.

However, she knew the weight of Zhu Han in her husband Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

If you don't save yourself when you see death, how can you explain to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Two, Ah Han is the closest relative of the marshal, and it can also be said that he is an indispensable person in the righteous army, even if we have few troops, we can't watch from the sidelines in Dingyuan City."

Li Shanchang and Tang He Wenyan both looked at each other.

They all knew how important Zhu Han was to the rebels.

It can be said that if there was no Zhu Han, the marshal Zhu Yuanzhang would never have such a brilliant situation today.

"Then we will send 3,000 soldiers and horses, with great fanfare, and widely spread suspicious soldiers, so that the Tartars think that there is a large army rushing to help, so that they will not dare to attack the city unscrupulously." Li Shanchang said.

"Sir, good strategy, we can do this." Ma Xiuying said immediately.

"Okay, I Tanghe will lead the troops to remove the state, Mr. Li, Dingyuan City will be handed over to you." Tang He said.

"General Tang can go with confidence!" Li Shanchang's face was solemn.

Immediately, Tang He immediately went to prepare soldiers and horses, as long as the grain and grass dispatch was completed, he would immediately kill the state.

Whether they can defeat the heavy troops of the Yuan army, I dare not guarantee it.

But Ma Xiuying, the marshal's wife, couldn't wait, and urged Tang He to send troops immediately.

"Brother Tang, I don't know how tragic and critical it is now, if you go an hour earlier, maybe you can have more hope."

Ma Xiuying felt that 3,000 people resisting 100,000 people was an impossible task no matter how you thought about it, and if she could hold on for ten days and half a month, it would already be blessed by God.

"If you can't hold the state, then don't want it, just save Ah Han back, it's okay." Ma Xiuying instructed again.

Tang He listened, but he complained in his heart.

Except for the state, it was the first big city controlled by the rebels.

If the state is lost, it will probably be doomed, what is the use of just rescuing Zhu Han.

Now the hope is that Zhu Yuanzhang can lead the main force to return to the aid of Jiezhou as soon as possible.

Meanwhile.

Inside the city of Haozhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the marshal of the Eastern Route Army, had just led his army to repel the heavy troops of the attacking Yuan army.

After some fighting, the rebels have captured a lot of money, and now they are holding a feast to celebrate their achievements.

Zhu Yuanzhang has the highest status and sits at the top.

The rest of the marshals such as Guo Zixing, Sun Deya, and Ma Lezi were divided into left and right.

Now that the heavy troops of the Yuan army have been repulsed, the rest of everyone's activities have naturally returned to infighting.

This time, Haozhou was besieged, and Guo Zixing's troops were simply insufficient.

If you want to ensure the safety of Haozhou in the future, you must rely on Zhu Yuanzhang's troops.

However, Sun Deya and others were unwilling to be controlled by others, so Sun Deya and others had already discussed, and they were ready to welcome Peng Da and others from Xuzhou's Red Turban Army to Haozhou to replace Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a close relationship with Guo Zixing.

"Lao Tzu saved you, you dogs, but you want to unload the mill and kill donkeys, how can you be cheap!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said secretly in his heart.

Regarding Sun Deya's calculations, he had already seen it clearly with Xu Da and others.
