Chapter 661: The Enemy Came In?
Ah Ming couldn't understand why Da Ming attached so much importance to a group of soldiers who had surrendered to the country. Just as he couldn't understand Kangdu, all walks of life were so prosperous, and both officials and ordinary people were so happy and peaceful.
Because there are so many things he doesn't understand, he doesn't bother to think about it.
"Our Ming Dynasty has suffered such a big defeat, our Emperor His Majesty will definitely take revenge, right?"
Chen Ting nodded naturally when she heard this.
"It's inevitable!"
"His Majesty the Emperor has already said in the newspaper that we must transfer all the defense troops of Kangdu and catch Timur's traitor!"
"Huh?"
Amin had observed the city's defenses from the first day he entered Kangdu, and it could be said that he knew the defense of Kangdu best.
There are 30,000 of the most elite people in the city, all of whom are composed of elite veterans from the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, an army of 100,000 natives assisted in defending the city.
"All transferred?"
"yes!"
"Say it's only 30,000 ......"
Ah Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty left 30,000 old soldiers behind."
Chen Ting immediately corrected when she heard this.
"What?"
"Your Majesty said, only 10,000 old soldiers will be left, plus 20,000 Kangdu soldiers."
"Huh?"
Amin exclaimed again.
"How dare Your Majesty?"
"If Timur's army sneaks up on Kangdu, how can Your Majesty withstand it with these 10,000 old soldiers and 20,000 Kangdu soldiers?"
Chen Ting was stunned for a while when she heard this, she had never thought about this problem, she only felt that His Majesty's disposition was very domineering, and there was an indescribable sense of pleasure.
But now listening to Ah Ming's reminder, it seems that there is a big hidden danger in doing so?
"Chen Ting, has the army been sent?"
Hearing this, Chen Ting hurriedly flipped through the newspaper for a while, and then said helplessly.
"It's been three days since the newspaper said it had been dispatched, and now it's all in Isfahan, right?"
Chen Ting didn't have a detailed geographical concept, thinking that the area out of Kangdu City was Isfahan. Amin had walked this road many times and knew how far Isfahan was from Kangdu.
"Your father is His Majesty's personal secretary, you hurry up and tell your father, let Your Majesty immediately send someone to chase the army back, otherwise our Kangdu is prone to accidents!"
"Really?"
Chen Ting's heart beat a drum when he heard this, although his father worked beside His Majesty, it was difficult to see His Majesty in his spare time, and he was just handling the paperwork for the imperial court in the office.
If you rashly let my father go to school, will it have an impact on my father's career?
Seeing Chen Ting's face full of hesitation, Ah Ming urged a little anxiously.
"Hurry up, it's going to happen any later!"
"What could happen?"
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and must have thought of these a long time ago, let's rush to ......"
Chen Ting was still a little hesitant when she heard this, but she still stood up obediently and followed Ah Ming to the outside of Kangdu University.
As soon as the two arrived outside the university, they saw a group of scouts hurrying in the direction of the palace.
Chen Ting couldn't see any surprises on the scouts, but Ah Ming was keenly aware that these scouts were fighting the enemy.
What would it be like to be able to fight someone in the Kangdu area?
It must be Timur's army that has come to attack Khamdu!
"Hurry up, hurry up to the palace to see your father, and ask your father to tell His Majesty the Emperor......"
"Oooh oh ......"
When the two came to the palace, they saw that the palace was heavily guarded, and no idlers were allowed to enter.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had just learned that an army of 50,000 people had sneaked into the Kangdu area, and he was gathering everyone to discuss how to defend it.
"Your Majesty, the enemy army is only 50,000 people, and the army in our city can completely defend it!"
It was Fu Youde who spoke, Fu Youde was very experienced in defending the city, and he said that he was sure that he was sure.
When Lan Yu saw Fu Youde say this, he immediately stood up unconvinced.
"Your Majesty, give the old man 10,000 people, and the old man will go out of the city and destroy the 50,000 people for you!"
Zhu Yunxi listened to the noise of the two, and just waved his hand irritably.
"You two be quiet!"
"Now only 50,000 people have been detected, who knows how many."
"Timur has not lost many troops over the years, and it is likely that he has hidden his backhand."
Hearing this, Lan Yu and Fu Youde immediately shut up, and began to silently calculate in their hearts how many enemy attacks the current defensive strength of Kangdu City could support.
There are 10,000 Ming veterans to lay the foundation, plus 20,000 Kangdu soldiers in the city, it is not a big problem to fight 60,000 or 70,000 people.
But if there are 100,000 sneak attackers, the outcome is unknown.
Because an army of 100,000 men can build a mountain in a day, a mountain as high as the city of Kangdu.
Moreover, whether the 20,000 Kangdu soldiers in the city can be relied on is not to be said, in case they join forces with the enemy army outside the city, it will be a devastating blow to Kangdu.
While Zhu Yunxi was discussing with Lan Yu and others how to defend the city, Shaharu was leading people on a trek on the mountain road.
"Have the other armies arrived?"
"Back to Your Highness, according to the time, they should have rushed over."
"However, we have to wait for their signal!"
"Then wait!"
Shaharu stood on a hill outside Samarkand, looking out at the city of Isfahan with infinite light in his eyes.
If I can retake Samarkand, then the empire will be mine!
Thinking of this, Shaharu couldn't help but read the letter his father had written to him again.
This is a personal letter written to him by his father, and it is very clear that as long as he can recapture the city of Samarkand, he will make him the crown prince and pass on the whole empire to him!
Now that my father has taken his example as bait, he has transferred all the troops of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he can recapture Samarkand City, he is the hero of this land!
In the evening, a thick cloud of smoke rose ten miles away.
"Report to Your Highness, the wolf smoke of the Middle Route Army has risen, proving that they have arrived at the predetermined location!"
"Report to Your Highness, the wolf smoke of the Northern Route Army has also risen......"
When Shaharu heard this, he waved excitedly to the crowd.
"Warriors, the time has come to prove to the pearls that you are brave, rush with me and retake Samarkand in one fell swoop!"
"Rush, ......"
Fifty thousand soldiers rushed down from the mountain, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw an army rushing out from a few miles away.
A total of three armies, totaling 150,000 people, mysteriously appeared outside Kangdu City.
The defenders in the city had already received the news that they had blocked the city gates, but when they saw the overwhelming enemy troops, they were already pale with fear.
"Hurry up and report to Your Majesty, the enemy ...... The enemy is attacking......"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately climbed the city tower and looked at the enemy army below from the city tower.
Most of the enemy troops were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, but the sleeves were tied with strips of cloth of various colors to distinguish them.
"How did they come across without noticing?"
Hearing this, Misaran looked at the army below and made a bold guess.
"Your Majesty, they may have traveled from the direction of the Mihrabani dynasty through the valleys."
"What is the Mihrabani dynasty?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this dynasty is a vassal state of the Timurid Empire, and after Your Majesty captured Samarkand, the country expressed its allegiance to us, so we have not dealt with them."
"Oooh......"
Zhu Yunxi was originally just curious about where these people came from, but now that Mihalan has already given the answer, he is no longer entangled.
"Ying Guogong, now the defense of Kangdu City will be fully entrusted to you."
"No!"
Fu Youde took the tiger talisman from Zhu Yunxi's hand, and immediately began to mobilize the army of the whole city.
In order to prevent some Kangdu soldiers from defecting to the enemy, Fu Youde disorganized 10,000 old soldiers and 20,000 Kangdu soldiers and reorganized them, with veterans as the leader and Kangdu soldiers as auxiliaries, and the sub-districts were responsible for the guarding of the city wall.
At the same time, the people of the city were mobilized, and all men between the ages of fifteen and fifty were drawn out to assist in the defense of the city.
The first wave of siege soon began, and the ant-like crowd under the city wall came to the bottom of the city wall with huge siege ladders, and as soon as the ladder leaned against the city wall, they climbed up frantically.
The defenders of the city were also prepared, and when they saw the ladder coming up, they used poles to prop them up, or break the hooks they had hooked on the walls.
As for the others, they shoot arrows of arrows, and those who set fire guns, and those who fire cannons, and do everything they can to destroy the enemy under the walls.
But as the sky grew darker, the situation of the defenders at the head of the city became more and more difficult.
Unable to shoot accurately, they could only attack aimlessly towards the bottom of the city walls.
However, the enemy below the city wall can take advantage of the light on the wall to shoot arrows and guns at the wall.
"Your Majesty, it can't go on like this, we have too few people to support it!"
Zhu Yunxi never left the city gate tower, and even if the trebuchet was moved out from the opposite side, it failed to scare him away.
"Hold on!"
"I still have 200,000 reinforcements on the way!"
"Two hundred thousand reinforcements?"
When everyone heard this, they thought that Zhu Yunxi was bragging, and even Lan Yu and the others were full of disbelief, and secretly said that Your Majesty's trick was too clumsy, and it was more ridiculous than Cao Cao's Wangmei to quench his thirst.
How is it possible to dispatch 200,000 military divisions from the Kangdu region now?
Not to mention 200,000, even 20,000 is enough!
Fu Youde didn't believe it either, but it didn't prevent him from saying it to the soldiers under him.
"Your Majesty said, we have 200,000 troops to rush back immediately, as long as we endure this night, tomorrow will be fine......"
"Good!"
Misaran didn't believe it either, because he was well aware of the situation in the Kondu region. Even if all the young people are organized, they may not be able to raise an army of 200,000.
"Your Majesty, Wechen has seen the military flag below, if Wechen is not mistaken, it should be the military flag of my fourth brother Shaharu."
"Shaharu?"
"Isn't he in Horasan, how did he come to us?"
Zhu Yunxi has only been staring at Timur, and has not taken Timur, the fourth son, in his eyes.
Of course, when he attacked Timur, Shaharu was also very knowledgeable and did not mix, and he had been living his own small life in his fiefdom.
and secretly wrote to Zhu Yunxi more than once to express his loyalty to Zhu Yunxi.
Seeing that this kid was so sensible, Zhu Yunxi instead of sending troops to attack him, instead of canonizing him as the king of Khorasan and letting him rule the region instead of the Ming Dynasty.
However, this guy actually took advantage of the lack of his troops to secretly send people to attack him.
When I carry this wave, I have to pinch this guy's eggs!
Shaharu under the city has also been silently watching the battle situation, urging his generals to attack vigorously.
"Attack!"
"Whoever attacks the city first will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver!"
Under Shaharu's heavy reward, the Khorasan soldiers burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.
However, no one knew that they were only trying to cover up another incident by paying such heavy casualties for the attack.
While 100,000 men were attacking the city, a secret force entered the city through a hole in the ground.
The number of this army was small, only 20,000 men. But these 20,000 people are veterans of Khorasan for many years, and everyone is a master of melee combat.
When the first soldier emerges from the tunnel, he finds himself next to the toilet of a civilian house.
He pinched his nose and dragged the soldiers out of the tunnel, holding back the stench of the toilet.
At this moment, the woman of the family came out to use the toilet. Seeing that there were suddenly so many more men in her yard, the woman was terrified and let out a piercing scream.
However, as soon as she screamed, she was pierced in the throat by a sharp arrow, and she could no longer make a sound.
"Hurry up!"
"Don't be discovered......"
As more people came out of the tunnels, they quickly occupied the houses, and then the streets where they were located.
As more people crawled out of the tunnels, they split into several groups and attacked the gates.
On the tower of the city, Zhu Yunxi suddenly saw a fire in the city.
"Come on, hurry up and see what's going on over there, why there is a sudden fire in the city!"
Just as Zhu Yunxi asked this, a person holding a clay pot ran to the city tower and shouted.
"The enemy is in, the enemy is coming in from the tunnel!"
Kangdu soldiers, who were still fighting bravely to kill the enemy in the city, panicked when they heard this.
"The enemy has come in?"
"How is that possible, how did they get in?"
Seeing this, Fu Youde immediately ordered someone to escort Zhu Yunxi away from the city wall and move towards the palace outside the city.
"Your Majesty, Kangdu City can't hold it, let's move to the palace first......"
"The palace was built by our Ming Dynasty, and the defense facilities inside are no worse than Kangdu City."
"Good!"
Zhu Yunxi and his entourage, under the escort of 10,000 old soldiers and 20,000 Kangdu soldiers, fought their way out of the siege of 100,000 people and moved towards the palace.
In order to besiege these people, Shaharu sent all his troops.
The overwhelming army surrounded Zhu Yunxi and his party from all directions, but before they could get close, the old man of the Ming Dynasty blew up a passage with a palm mine.
Shaharu's soldiers had seen this kind of weapon, only to see the Ming soldiers pull it in their hands, and then throw the things in their hands at them to explode, and the power of the explosion is not small.
As a result, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield.
Shaharu's team kept urging the soldiers to step forward, but instead of stepping forward, the soldiers under his command retreated little by little, forcibly opening a way for Zhu Yunxi and his party.
