Chapter 87: The Line of Life and Death for Zhu Han
It's just that everyone is a Red Turban Rebel, and it's not good to tear their faces and speak.
"Peng Da and others are big heroes, they killed the Tartars in Xuzhou, if they weren't betrayed by the spies, they wouldn't have come to our Haozhou, with Peng Da to take charge, Zhu Dashuai you can rest assured that you can specialize in Huainan." Sun Deya said with a smile.
"Peng Da really has the ability, he won't let the Tartars kill all the way from Xuzhou, even if he comes, I'm afraid it's useless, if you want me to say, we still have to rely on our own people." Guo Zixing said with a gloomy face.
This time in the defense of Haozhou, Guo Zixing can be said to have suffered heavy losses, not only did he lose a lot of soldiers and horses, but his eldest son died on the battlefield.
Although Peng Da of Xuzhou lost the city, he used tens of thousands of elite soldiers to follow, and once he came to the state, Guo Zixing, the position of the marshal of Haozhou, had to be given to others.
"Although we are no longer in Haozhou, but Haozhou is in trouble, but we can't ignore it, what about Peng Da and others, no one knows, if they are allowed to come to Haozhou, it is not possible, but let them take the position of Marshal Guo, then we are the first not to agree." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Haozhou is the northern gateway of Dingyuan City.
If Haozhou is not in his own hands, Zhu Yuanzhang is really not at ease.
When Sun Deya and the others heard Zhu Yuanzhang say so surely, they were all in a dilemma one by one.
In this battle of Haozhou, the combat power of the army led by Zhu Yuanzhang was not only larger, but also a little stronger.
Sun Deya and the others were envious and afraid.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, they naturally didn't dare to say more, but they were a hundred unconvinced in their hearts, and they all thought that after Zhu Yuanzhang left, they would invite Peng Da back.
The mentality of Sun Deya and others is that no matter who is the boss of Haozhou, Guo Zixing can't be allowed to do it anyway.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted them to fight the thunder for themselves in Haozhou, but he couldn't let them have too much internal friction, so he planned to stay in Haozhou for a few more days.
"We want to see what kind of character that Peng Da is."
After returning to the barracks, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da with a smile.
"Dashuai, it doesn't matter what kind of thing he Peng Da is, anyway, when he comes to Haozhou, then he has to be honest for us." Xu Da said.
In this battle of Haozhou, Xu Da killed all sides, and it was these Yuan troops who were chopped melons and vegetables that defeated Peng Da in Xuzhou.
The defeated generals of his subordinates, why worry about it!
The men and horses led by Peng Da were not far from Haozhou, and they originally planned to repel the Yuan army and let themselves enter Haozhou.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang would quickly cut through the chaos and beat the Yuan army away.
Peng Da is naturally very unhappy in his heart, how can he go to Haozhou to compete for the top spot?
However, when Peng Da came to Haozhou, when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers and horses, he was immediately scared.
"No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was able to defeat the soldiers and horses who escaped so easily, it turned out that there were strong troops under his hands!"
Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons
Peng Da couldn't help but say to his son Peng Zaozhu.
"Dad, I heard that this Zhu Yuanzhang is Guo Zixing's son-in-law, and with his support, we can't sit on the top spot in Haozhou."
For this fantasy, Peng Da also did not plan.
The troops they saw outside Haozhou City were all elite forwards led by Xu Da.
The Xuzhou Righteous Army led by Peng Da, Zhao Junyong and others couldn't even defeat the Yuan army that escaped, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was able to beat the Yuan army, was naturally even more fearful.
However, Peng Da is not such an easy person to succumb, he plans to get along with Zhu Yuanzhang, if Zhu Yuanzhang has the ability to measure, then he will stay in Haozhou, and he will not fight for the first or second, just be one of the marshals.
If Zhu Yuanzhang's skills are average, then Peng Da plans to plan again.
When the two groups of people met, Zhu Yuanzhang and Peng Da were polite and tentative.
After the reception, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da and the others.
"Let's look at Peng Da, it's still a little arrogant, get along for a few more days, bring him over, help us guard Haozhou together, and there won't be any chaos."
The geographical location of Haozhou is important, and it is impossible for one person to dominate.
"Dashuai, I see that Peng Da and others have brought a lot of soldiers and horses, if we don't have us, Guo Zixing really can't deal with them." Xu Da said.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he naturally saw this problem.
Guo Zixing's skills are average, and his measurements are also average, if he doesn't have his own support, after a long time, he will definitely conflict with Peng Da and others.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to speak, the general Guo Ying suddenly broke in from outside.
"Dashuai, urgent report!" Guo Ying was out of breath.
"Where's the urgency?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned.
"Except for the state!" Guo Ying hurriedly presented a letter.
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly unfolded it and took a look, and was immediately shocked.
"It's broken, Qiwu is in danger!"
When Xu Da and the others heard this, their faces also changed.
The state is the foundation of their preparation, and if there is danger, then the first few months of the campaign will be in vain.
"Dashuai, what's going on?" Xu Da hurriedly asked.
"The Tartars in the south of the Yangtze River have attacked Jiezhou, and 100,000 soldiers and horses have come to surround Jiezhou!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, beads of sweat were already on his face.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, the emotional status of Zhu Han's younger brother cannot be replaced by anyone.
"Order, immediately prepare the whole army to move, and follow us to help the state!" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered loudly.
At this time, some generals couldn't help but persuade.
"Dashuai, what should you do in Haozhou?"
"Yes, Dashuai, as soon as we leave, Peng Da and the others will definitely take the lead, and Haozhou will not listen to us at that time."
What Haozhou, what Peng Da, what Guo Zixing.
Zhu Yuanzhang just didn't care at this time.
What he wanted to do was to hurry back to help the state, and not let Zhu Han be in a little danger.
"Haozhou doesn't care, the sky and the earth are big, and they are not as important as our brother's life!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red.
Seeing this, Xu Da and the others didn't dare to say anything, and immediately went back to prepare for the various departments to leave Haozhou.
It's just an hour's work!
Zhu Yuanzhang received urgent letters from the other two messengers one after another.
There is also the news from Dingyuan that 3,000 troops were sent to aid the state.
"There are only 8,000 soldiers in Dingyuan, but 3,000 troops are sent to remove the state, which is really too dangerous." Xu Da couldn't help but say.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand the truth in this.
However, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very relieved in his heart.
"Danger is danger, but our lady knows the general situation, and knows that it is important to remove the state, even if it is dangerous, she will send troops to rescue!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Ma Xiuying explained the situation in the letter, saying that in order to save Zhu Han's safety, everything can be ignored, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang's heart warm.
The wife he married really regarded his brother as his own brother.
The army led by Zhu Yuanzhang left in Haozhou with great fanfare, but Guo Zixing, Sun Deya, Peng Da and others in Haozhou City were confused.
Didn't you say that you want to continue to stay in Haozhou for a few more days, why do you have to run away so quickly?
For these doubts, Zhu Yuanzhang has no patience at all.
just sent someone to inform Guo Zixing, and then led the army to the south to return to the division.
Because of the hurry, a lot of grain and grass had to be thrown in the barracks and given to Guo Zixing.
Guo Zixing, his son Guo Tianxu and others came to the barracks, but there was only an empty camp.
"Dad, this Zhu Chongba is really a dog thing, he said that he would subdue Peng Da and then leave, but now he is running fast!" Guo Tianxu said angrily.
Peng Da and others brought more than 10,000 elite soldiers, far more than the rabble in Guo Zixing's hands.
If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's help, Guo Zixing would soon be unable to keep the position of marshal of Haozhou City.
Who knows, Guo Zixing is not as angry as he imagined.
"Phew, you know a fart, the more this is the case, the more it shows that Zhu Yuanzhang is affectionate and righteous, and he is willing to throw away so much heavy grain and grass in order to save his younger brother Zhu Han, and when we are in trouble, he will definitely come to save us." Guo Zixing said.
Guo Tianxu was unconvinced, "Dad, you think too beautifully, let's be the same as Zhu Hanneng, that's someone's own brother, what are we." ”
Guo Zixing's eyes widened, "I'm his Zhu Yuanzhang's father-in-law, what do you say." ”
"What father-in-law, I think I lost a big girl for nothing." Guo Tianxu was already interested in his sister Ma Xiuying, but his father Guo Zixing refused to agree, and finally married Zhu Yuanzhang, the fake monk.
"You know!" Guo Zixing was a little annoyed.
Guo Tianxu still refused to give up, and still muttered in the capital: "How good it would be if Xiuying sister married me, when the time comes, you will be my father and my father-in-law, kiss and kiss!" ”
"Phew, what nonsense are you talking about!" Guo Zixing scolded.
"What nonsense am I talking about, I also like Xiuying's sister, why couldn't you marry me in the first place?" Guo Tianxu shouted.
Syllable!
Guo Zixing slapped Guo Tianxu in the face.
"Phew, bullshit likes, you're a glutton!"
。
。
The army led by Zhu Yuanzhang marched day and night, heading in the direction of Zhuzhou.
The more he went forward, the more anxious Zhu Yuanzhang became.
I have never met any more envoys from the direction of the state, which means that the situation in the state is not good.
At the very least, the Yuan army must have exhausted the water from the siege of the state.
As for the barrier cities such as Liuhe, most of them have also been attacked by the Yuan army.
Except for a lonely city, it is really dangerous.
"Seventy-five, you have to hold on, even if we fight hard, we have to save you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious in his heart, and ordered to urge the speed of the march.
Xu Da couldn't help but persuade beside him: "Dashuai, we can't be faster, if we are faster, even if we run to the state, our hands and feet will be sore, and we can't fight with knives and guns at all." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips tightly, "We also know, but now that the situation is critical, we don't know if Yuan Jun is willing to wait for us!" ”
Even if some soldiers were tired and couldn't keep up with the big team, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give the order to slow down.
Because of the siege of the state, everyone in Dingyuan City and Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the sky was about to fall.
And Zhu Han, as the main owner, was drinking tea at the head of the city of Jiezhou at this time.
"My lord, this is the spring tea offered by Lu Wendao's family, I heard that it is more than 20 taels of silver a catty!" Hu Yiba said next to him.
Zhu Han took a sip lightly and smiled with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"It's so beautiful, drinking fragrant tea and enjoying the monkey show of the Yuan Army by the way, it's really wonderful."
Rumble!
Rumble! Rumble!
Suddenly, a burst of artillery roar came, but Zhu Han was not affected at all, but looked out of the city with great joy.
A burst of artillery bombardment from the rebels smashed a tall tower cart of the Yuan army to pieces.
The heavy wooden frame could not support the weight and fell crookedly to the side.
The soldiers of the Yuan army who were pushing the tower cart forward had no time to dodge, and they were crushed below with screams.
"Haha, well played!"
Zhu Hanmei said with a smile.
The methods of attacking the city of these Yuan troops outside the city kept pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, and finally there was nothing new about it, and they actually adopted the ancient siege methods.
They made many tall tower carts and punch carts.
After forcing the Han people to fill in part of the trenches, they used these tall tower carts as a means to attack the city.
However, for Zhu Han, who is brave and new-style artillery, these huge tower cars are live targets one by one.
The rebel artillery was able to easily hit and destroy them.
The Yuan army's painstaking manufacturing for many days was instantly turned into a pile of broken wood.
Yes!
The tragic wails of the wounded soldiers were constantly sounding on the battlefield.
The barbarian Hague looked at everything in front of him, and he was already in extreme distress.
No matter what siege method it was, the Yuan army used it all over again, but it was never able to break through the city of Jiezhou.
The focus was on the artillery on the walls, which were fired quickly and accurately.
Whether it was artillery, rush cars, tower cars, or return guns, they were all destroyed far away.
The Hague, the left-handed barbarian of the Jiangnan Province of the Great Yuan River, already felt that his donkey skills were poor.
Whether it works or doesn't work, he can't think of it.
What's even more terrifying is that because of the raid by the rebels, part of the grain and grass were burned.
At this time, the Yuan army did not have much grain in stock, and the people around were hiding one after another, and it was very difficult to collect grain and grass.
"My lord, let's retreat, let's go back to Liuhe first, wait for the grain and grass from Jiangnan to arrive, and then continue the attack."
"Yes, my lord, we don't have any means to attack the city, so we might as well go back and discuss it first."
"My lord, those thieves have powerful artillery, let's go back and forge some, and then let's kill the state."
For the persuasion of these generals, the barbarian Hague really did not want to agree.
However, there is nothing he can do.
Therefore, he planned to have two more days, and then withdraw his troops back to Liuhe.
At this moment, a guard suddenly reported.
"My lord, there are people from the city of Except Zhou, and I want to ask to see my lord."
"Except for the people of the state, who are they?" The barbarian Hague was stunned for a moment.
"Like a gentry in addition to the state."
The barbarian Hague's heart moved, and he immediately sent someone to bring him in.
"Who are you?"
When the barbarian Hague saw the comer, he asked very majestically.
"Lord Qiyu, the master of my family is Lu Wendao, and he is a big family in addition to the state!" The man knelt down and said.
"Lu Wendao?"
The barbarian Hague heard this name, he was a famous man in addition to the state, and he had served as an official of the Great Yuan before, and then he was idle at home.
"My master wants to give information to adults."
"What kind of information, Lu Wendao has already surrendered to the thief, do you still want to deceive Ben Shuai?" The barbarian Hague glared at him, and his fierce face showed murderous aura.
"Come on, take this spy, give me a withdrawal and cut off my head!" The barbarian Hague said.
Immediately, two wolf-like guards stepped forward.
Seeing this, the messenger was immediately frightened and kept kowtowing and said.
"My lord, I'm not a spy, I really have intelligence!"
Seeing this, the barbarian Hague waved his hand.
"What's the situation, to be honest, there is a half-lie, and it will make your head fall to the ground immediately!" The barbarian Hague said viciously.
"Lord Qiqi, my master just wants to tell your lord that there is not much grain and grass for the red turban thieves in the city, and it is only available for three or five days, and if the officers and soldiers withdraw at this time, it will be cheaper for them." The messenger said.
"What, three or five days' of grain and grass?"
When the barbarian Hague heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
The grain and grass in the Yuan army is only seven or eight days, but it is more than the three or five days of grain and grass in the defenders.
You only need to continue the siege, and it won't be long before the defenders run out of food, and then there will be no way to defend the city.
A bunch of hungry ghosts, how can they have strength.
"Anyway, what does your master want?" The barbarian Hague said directly.
"Lord Qiyu, my master said that he wanted to be the prefect of the state after repelling the thieves!"
Hearing this condition, the barbarian Hague dismissed.
Except for the state governor, he can still be promoted.
"Okay, that's to go back and tell your master, the official remembers." The barbarian Hague said.
After the envoy left, the barbarian Hague immediately canceled the plan to withdraw his troops.
Although the soldiers under his command were unwilling to fight to the death, after hearing that the defenders did not have much food and grass and could consume the thief army well, they were all ambitious.
They all shouted that they would break through the state and capture alive the hateful leader of the Red Turban Thieves, Zhu Han.
The barbarian Hague had another plan.
That's the artillery of the city of the state!
These cannons are so powerful that if they can fall into their own hands, it is better to have those craftsmen who make them, then he can kill the barbarian Hague in all directions.
After the entire Great Yuan Dynasty was put into chaos, except for his barbarian The Hague, no one had such a divine weapon.
When the time comes, the king will never be able to run.
In this way, the Yuan army was stationed outside the city again, intending to consume the defenders alive.
In addition to the head of the city, the movements of the Yuan army naturally could not be concealed from the righteous army.
After Zhu Han saw the changes in the Yuan army, he was very happy in his heart.
He said to Lu Wendao next to him: "The Tartars will not leave this time, and when the main force of our army comes back, we will completely annihilate this group of Tartars, and I will also give you a credit!" ”
Lu Wendao didn't dare to call it again and again.
That's right, the idea of sending people outside the city to deliver false information about the lack of food and luring the Yuan army to continue the siege was from Zhu Han's hand.
After many days of successive confrontations, Zhu Han had already seen the reality of this Jiangnan Yuan army.
What Mongol warriors, all are already decaying and degenerating.
In particular, these Mongolian garrisons in the south of the Yangtze River were even more vulnerable.
The rebels now lack a naval army, and if they are allowed to leave the state and return to Jiangnan, it will be difficult to eliminate them in a short time.
It is better to lure them to stay in Zhuzhou, wait until the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang leads the army back, and completely annihilate the main force of the Yuan army, so as to reduce a lot of trouble for the future attack on Jiangnan.
Now the combat effectiveness of the rebel army is far higher than that of these Mongols stationed in Jiangnan.
The Meng Yuan army outside the city didn't know that they had been looked down upon by Zhu Han, and they were still in a series of formations.
One camp after another, the water surrounded by the city of Except for the state was blocked.
And Zhu Han relied on the power of artillery, so that the Yuan army did not dare to approach the city to fight a war of attrition, and had plenty of time to practice and rest.
The 3,000 new troops faced a heavy siege, and not only did they not lose their morale and combat strength, but they became even stronger.
In today's situation, as long as the reinforcements of the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang arrive, they can come to a combination of inside and outside, and stab the prestige of the bluff of the Mengyuan army from the inside.
It's just that this heavy siege posture looks a bit bluffing.
Tang He led 3,000 soldiers and horses from Dingyuan to Zhuzhou, and saw the chain of camps of the Tartar army from a distance.
"My mother, there are really 100,000 troops!"
Tang He let out a sigh, and his heart was already very flustered.
In addition to Zhu Han, who has 3,000 soldiers and horses, he and the 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if they are added together, are not enough for 100,000 yuan of troops.
As for why the 100,000 yuan army did not break through the city of Jizhou, it was very simple in Tang He's opinion.
Tartars are playing around the point to send reinforcements.
Keeping the city of Except for the state and luring the rebels to come to relieve the siege, they actually came to die.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" A junior colonel asked when he saw that the master was slow to speak.
"Alas, what else can I do, I can't really rush in and die."
Soup and sighed.
In the current situation, all I can do is to spread the suspicions and delay for a little longer.
As for when the main force led by Zhu Yuanzhang will be able to return, Tang He is not clear at all.
"Go, beat all the flags, and beat all the drums!"
"As soon as the Tartars get close, let me run into the mountains!"
soup and loud orders.
With the sound of good drums, a large number of flags suddenly appeared on the West Mountain, which looked a little powerful from a distance.
The Yuan army outside the state city was shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly reported it to the commander The Hague.
"What, reinforcements?" The barbarian Hague was stunned.
He had sent a lot of scouts, how could there be reinforcements so close.
Then there is only one possibility......
This group of reinforcements was not numerous, and they passed through the gap of the Yuan army's scouts and touched the vicinity of the main force of the Yuan army.
"Send someone to investigate and see how many soldiers and horses there are."
The barbarian Hague climbed up to the sentry and looked, only to see the banners of the rebels all over the mountains, but there was no one in sight.
"Hmph, the little skill of the withered worm, you dare to get an axe!" The barbarian Hague was dismissive.
The defenders of the state also saw some flags, and immediately thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's main force was back, and they were all cheering.
"It shouldn't be that my brother is back." Zhu Han didn't believe it.
Extrapolating from the distance and the speed of the march, it is impossible to be the main force of the old brother.
"My lord, even if it's fake, it means that our reinforcements are coming." Hu Yiba said happily.
"Wait, it's not time to send troops!" Zhu Han said.
In the distance outside the city, Tang He led the army to be busy, but the Yuan army did not mean to be deceived at all.
Even, except for some scouts who wanted to get close to investigate, there was no force of troops to meet them.
This is a bad soup and a bad thing.
"Damn, the dog Tartar treats Lao Tzu as a dead man?"
Tang and soldiers and horses were also scarce, and their only role was to lure the Yuan army to abandon the camp and pursue, so that they would be exhausted.
However, this is a test of acting skills.
Tang He's obviously acting skills are not good, and Tartar is not fooled at all.
"It seems that if you don't move the real thing, you can't do it."
Tang He was ruthless and immediately ordered the whole army.
"It's all for Lao Tzu, I've been eating and drinking in Dingyuan for so long, it's time for us to sell our lives, tomorrow I'll take you to charge for a while, teach the Tartars a lesson!"
"Good! Good! ”
The 3,000 rebel soldiers responded in a flash.
Subsequently, Tang He ordered someone to take out the handsome flag of 'Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang' that he carried.
Prepare to hang out tomorrow and scare the Yuan army.
"Hmph, let's not believe it, when we see this handsome flag, the dog Tartar still refuses to chase it?"
The next day.
Tang He led 500 soldiers and horses to rush left and right on the periphery of the Yuan army's camp, uprooting all the scattered outposts.
In the face of such an arrogant provocation, the barbarian Hague was naturally unwilling.
He immediately sent three thousand soldiers and horses in pursuit.
The barbarian Hague has already decided that his guess yesterday was not wrong.
These Red Turban Thieves reinforcements were only three to five hundred people, and they didn't dare to get too close to the main camp of the Yuan army, and sending three thousand soldiers and horses was enough to pay attention to them.
Who knows, this is exactly in the hands of Tang He.
The 300 rebels fled in defeat, leading thousands of Tartars into the ambush.
Rumble!
As a trumpet sounded, the surrounding ambush soldiers fought bravely.
"Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang is here, Tartar will die soon!"
Tang He held high Zhu Yuanzhang's handsome banner and shouted in a fake manner.
These Mongolian soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River are known as strong troops, but there are not many strong armies at all.
As soon as I encountered the scene in front of me, it was a mess.
"Brothers, kill!"
Tang He took the lead and fought bravely to kill the enemy under the banner of Marshal Du.
The 3,000-yuan army was suddenly defeated.
The red-eyed rebels didn't give them a chance to escape at all, and chased them out of the valley in a row, appearing in the field of vision of the main force of the Yuan army.
"What, Zhu Yuanzhang?"
The barbarian Hague saw that his soldiers and horses were defeated and returned, and he immediately exclaimed.
"It's the thief leader Zhu Yuanzhang!"
The Yuan army was suddenly panicked, they all knew that there were fifty or sixty thousand red turban thieves, and it was difficult to deal with.
At the head of the city of Except Zhou, the defenders also let out bursts of cheers.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Dashuai is back!"
Zhu Han looked from afar, and saw the defeat of thousands of Tartar soldiers and horses being killed, and he also expected that the old brother was back.
"It's time to strike!"
Zhu Han immediately captured the fighter.
Now the Yuan army outside the city has been shaken!
If you lead 3,000 elite attacks, you will definitely be able to turn the tide of the battle in one turn.
After all, the army in the hands of the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang is tens of thousands!
"Herald! Attack with all your troops, bring all your artillery! ”
Zhu Han gave an order, and Chen Baodao, Hu Yiba, Lu Zhongheng and others immediately went to make arrangements.
Then, he looked at Lu Wendao and the other gentry on the side.
"Mr. Lu, I'm going out of the city to kill the thieves, and the defense of the state is going to be handed over to you!"
When Lu Wendao and the other gentry heard this, they immediately trembled.
They never thought that Zhu Han would have such courage at such a young age.
With only 3,000 soldiers and horses, how dare they go out of the city to fight against each other.
"Lao Yu and others, I wish the deputy marshal a victory! In addition to the state defense, we will do our best to ensure that nothing goes wrong! Lu Wendao was suspicious in his heart, but there was a determined look on his face.
"That's right, don't worry, deputy marshal, we'll leave it to you except for the state!"
"The deputy marshal just kills the Tartars, and we warm the wine and wait for the triumph!"
"The defeat of the Tartars is already a foregone conclusion, and the deputy marshal wins!"
These gentry in addition to the state were immediately congratulatory.
Now it is life and death, as long as the Yuan army outside the city is defeated, except for the state, it can really turn the corner.
Otherwise, once the attack of reinforcements outside the city is thwarted.
If you want to break the siege after removing the state city, it must be even more difficult.
Zhu Han was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and immediately led his subordinates to leave the city.
"Open the gates!"
With an order, the gate of the city squeaked open.
Rumble!
The heavy drawbridge fell to the ground, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
"Kill!"
With a hoarse shout!
The 3,000 defenders of the state rushed out, and they immediately lined up outside the state city.
At this time, at the head of the city of Jiezhou, Lu Wendao and other gentry in the state had already regained their freedom.
All the soldiers of the rebel army have already gone out of the city to line up.
The defense on each section of the city wall was handed over to the gentry and the strong men who were requisitioned.
"Lu Shibo, Zhu Han'er is out of the city, except for the state, is ours, do you want to change the flag and cut off their back road?"
A gentleman in addition to the state said with a smile.
The other gentry except for the state craned their necks to look at the situation outside the city, and looked at Lu Wendao, the leader of the gentry.
Now the battle situation outside the state city is like a nesting doll.
The 3,000 new army led by Zhu Han was in the innermost layer, the Yuan army of the barbarian Hague was in the middle, and the outermost was Zhu Yuanzhang's army that was 'all over the mountains and fields'.
Anyway, in today's situation, the Yuan army is outnumbered.
"No, wait!"
Lu Wendao said with a frown.
Except for the gentry of the state, most of them were inclined to the victory of the Yuan army, after all, several times the number of troops was placed there.
They believed that if they gave the city themselves, they would give more treasures.
It will definitely be able to get the barbarian Hague to take back the order to slaughter the city.
"Yes, wait! If the Red Turban Army can't hold on, let's erect the banner of the imperial court again! Another gentleman said.
The rest of them nodded immediately.
If the Red Turbans have a chance of winning, they will be ugly by then.
The gentry except for the state are already ready for both, and they are waiting to see the final decision on the battle situation outside the city.
And at this time.
The 3,000 new army led by Zhu Han was already lined up along the moat of the prefecture.
In order to quickly get out of the city, they only had time to carry three of the lightest three-pounder guns, and the rest of the cannons were thrown on the walls.
"Vice Marshal, where are we going to kill?"
Chen Baodao asked, draped in armor.
Zhu Han's eyes narrowed!
Now that the Yuan army is in chaos, many troops are going to the periphery to defend Zhu Yuanzhang's army, exposing many loopholes.
However, the number of the Yuan army is still very large!
It was even full of surrounds, ready to block the offensive direction of Zhu Han's 3,000 new army.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first! Let's go straight to the barbarian Hague and take his dog's life, and we will definitely win a big victory! Zhu Han pointed with his hand.
"Deputy marshal, the Tartars are heavily defended, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rush in!" Chen Baodao looked surprised.
"Yes, my lord, our 3,000 people are too few, and the Tartars still have at least tens of thousands of people to protect the barbarians The Hague, and the odds are very small!" Hu Yiba was also a little worried.
Zhu Han did not hesitate, the experience over the years has made him extremely decisive.
"The Tartars are so powerful that they must be surprised! Otherwise, once we fall into the quagmire of melee, with our 3,000 people, no matter how many we kill, we will die in the end! Zhu Han said quickly.
"So, I've already thought about it, I'll personally lure the enemy and attract the enemy's main defensive force, and the two of you will lead the remaining soldiers and horses straight to the banner position of the Chinese army in The Barbarian Hague, and smash their array with three cannons, you will definitely get miraculous results!"
Zhu Han's words immediately made Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba admire.
This can be said to be very dangerous!
Zhu Han has full confidence in this, he has a set of stainless steel armor, which is light and strong, with the swords and guns of the Yuan army, he can't hurt himself at all, and he can completely retreat.
The Yuan army definitely couldn't imagine that the artillery of the righteous army could advance with the army, and they would definitely be able to kill them by surprise.
As the saying goes, time is running out, and the Yuan army has begun to arrange troops, ready to kill their 3,000 men and horses.
Under the banner of the Chinese army of the Yuan army, the barbarian Hague also discovered the move of the defenders of the state to pour out.
"Haha, these anti-thieves finally can't sit still!"
The barbarian Hague immediately ordered that while letting the Yuan army outside resist the reinforcements of 'Zhu Yuanzhang', he personally sat in charge of the Chinese army and commanded all the troops to attack Zhu Han's 3,000 soldiers and horses who went out of the city to fight back.
"Three thousand anti-thieves are not much stronger than a group of ants, crush them!"
The barbarian Hague wanted to avenge his son and soothe the violent spirit in his heart, so he immediately mobilized heavy troops.
At this time, the rebels who had just left the city had already taken the initiative to attack in formation.
Seeing this, the barbarian Hague immediately said angrily.
"Don't be in the sea of stones, reply, the two of you will lead your troops and kill all these arrogant thieves for me!"
These two generals are basically the strongest generals in the hands of the barbarian Hague.
"Yes, my lord!"
The two Mongolian generals with big shoulders and round waists immediately led their troops and prepared to attack Zhu Han's Red Turban Army.
Suddenly, a loud war drum sounded, and The Barbarian Hague saw a young rebel general rushing out of the city of Jiezhou and shouting loudly at the Yuan army.
"I am Zhu Han, killing Dehuan is like killing a dog!"
The rebels behind Zhu Han also shouted.
"Kill Tuohuan, kill a dog!"
"Kill Tuohuan, kill a dog!"
The shouts of the rebels immediately turned the barbarian Hague into a complete rage.
Tuhuan is his beloved son, and now that the killer is in front, how can the barbarian Hague endure his rampantness.
"Kill Zhu Han for me!"
"Kill Zhu Han, reward ten thousand taels! Promoted to three levels! ”
The barbarian Hague's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared like a tiger.
"Kill Zhu Han!"
"Kill Zhu Han!"
Under the intense reward stimulus, Yuan Jun also let out a roar.
Zhu Han saw it from afar and knew that the goal had been achieved.
"Chen Baodao, Hu Yiba, it's up to you!"
Zhu Hanfei got on his horse and led a rebel army to rush to the left.
In front on the left, there is a large banner of reinforcements from the Red Turban Army.
From the perspective of the Yuan army, Zhu Han is preparing to break through and escape.
Immediately, a group of Yuan soldiers shouted.
"Kill Zhu Han!"
"Stop him!"
"Can't let him run away!"
Zhu Han led a small group of elite cavalry to the left to make a fleeing appearance, the Yuan army in front desperately blocked, and the Yuan army in the rear chased desperately.
"Little thief Zhu Han, I will definitely skin you alive!" The barbarian Hague roared.
He had already seen that Zhu Han was planning to lead a small number of elites to break through.
As for the remaining more than 2,000 infantry, they must be used as cannon fodder on their backs.
"Kill!"
"Kill, you can't let Zhu Han run away!"
"Where is Zhu Han running!"
All the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army were staring at Zhu Han tightly.
The reward worth 10,000 taels and the temptation of being promoted to three levels in a row already made them see nothing in their eyes except Zhu Han.
Zhu Han's goal of attracting hatred has been achieved.
"Kill!"
Zhu Han rode on horseback and clashed left and right in the encirclement of the Yuan army.
Although Lu Zhongheng, who was following on the side, was young, his riding skills were very powerful, escorting Zhu Han to pull the Yuan army back and forth.
However, the number of Yuan troops is increasing!
The encirclement that can make Zhu Han and them pull is getting smaller and smaller.
Situation...... It seems to be developing in a direction that is not conducive to Zhu Han.
In addition to the action of the state defenders out of the city to line up, it caused a commotion in the Yuan army.
Although the rebel army led by Tang He on the periphery was huge, after all, the number of people was too small to have an advantage at all.
They took advantage of their geographical advantages to resist the Yuan army that was pulling and pounced.
Seeing that there were more and more Yuan troops, Tang He had already seen the possible danger and was about to give the order to retreat.
Suddenly, a commotion came in the direction of the city ahead.
The shouts of killing in the sky passed through the battlefield and reached Tang He's ears.
"Kill Zhu Han!"
"Don't let Zhu Han run away!"
When Tang He heard these voices, his heart was suddenly shocked.
"It's broken! Zhu Han: Is this a fight from outside the city? ”
Tang He's heart suddenly felt ten thousand regrets.
He obviously wanted to use Zhu Yuanzhang's banner to consume and involve the Yuan army, but he didn't really want to enter Jiezhou to relieve the siege.
"My lord, look, it's Zhu Han's banner!"
One of the generals pointed ahead.
Tang He stretched his neck, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Han's banner clash left and right in a circle surrounded by Yuan troops.
"Oops! I'm the one who hurt you! ”
Seeing this, Tang He immediately realized that Zhu Han was in great danger.
Most of the planning credit for the achievements of a group of them today is attributed to Zhu Han.
It can be said that without Zhu Han, Tang He felt that they would not have risen so quickly.
See
Zhu Han was in danger, and Tang He, full of great remorse, immediately made the decision to rescue Zhu Han desperately.
