Chapter 36: The Poor One Also First (Please Follow!!) )
Zhu Di left the Fengtian Temple, and then broke into the arsenal with more than 10,000 guards with knives.
It's a hard break.
In Zhu Di's words, the war situation is already so urgent, what red tape do you care about!
The arsenal is in charge of the nation's military registration, armaments, and military science examinations, which are in the hands of the Qing Calendar Department of the Ministry of War.
At that time, although the officials of the military department were stunned, no one had the courage to stop the emperor who broke in, because it was not the emperor himself who came.
Behind Zhu Di, the guards who followed had blocked the entire avenue.
Although the armaments in the arsenal are mostly dusty, they are relatively easy to use, not to mention in disrepair, and of course there are no extra options now.
Take it!
There is no other way!
Looking at the emperor who rushed out with people in person, Liu Ju was so moved that he almost cried, he really didn't expect that when he couldn't hold on immediately, it was the emperor who rushed out to save himself.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I'm ashamed..."
Liu Ju pushed away the soldiers beside him, and got up to greet him.
After a few steps, he fell to the ground from a leg injury, beating his chest and staggering, hating his incompetence very much.
Zhu Di hurriedly walked up a few steps and helped him up.
"Aiqing doesn't need to say much, I fully understand that this battle has worked hard for you."
Zhu Di saw that Liu Ju seemed to have something to say, gestured, got up and looked at the Warat army in front of him, and said slowly: "Next, it's up to me." ”
"Come on, help Liu Aiqing and his subordinates go back to recuperate!"
The Ming army in Xizhimen originally had nearly 20,000 people, but now, Zhu Di looked around and found that there were only two or three thousand people left, and the corpses all over the ground were almost piled up into several hills.
These corpses have many Ming soldiers who died bravely, but more of them are Warat people.
This shows how tragic the battle situation here is!
All of this is because of this scum descendant of the Zhu family, Zhu Qizhen!
For his mediocrity and incompetence, how many of my Ming soldiers will pay with their lives?
300,000 is not enough.
Half a million is not enough!
He deserves to die.
He's damned!
Zhu Di raised his knife, full of anger.
At this moment, he can't get rid of this scum of the family with his own hands!
"You are all my personally selected guards of the Son of Heaven, and you are my guards with knives, and I will lead you to attack, without breaking the war, and swearing not to turn back!"
"The Ming army is mighty!"
Although most of these people are former craftsmen who have not experienced battles, after all, they are mainly young and strong, and they are full of enthusiasm.
So, they raised their swords and guns in their hands and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
At the same time as Zhu Di was counterattacking, Shi Heng also led a large group of Ming troops from outside Desheng Gate, took advantage of the victory to pursue and fight with the rear army of Wara.
is still Shi Biao, who is holding a giant axe, and he is the first to kill into the crowd of Warat, as if he has entered a no-man's land!
After defeating the Weng Niute division of Mao Na Boy at Desheng Gate, Shi Heng only pursued for a while, and then gave up the pursuit under Yu Qian's order and began to sweep around the remnants of Warat outside Desheng Gate.
As soon as he heard that Xizhimen was under siege and Liu Juli was overwhelmed, Shi Heng immediately rushed to support.
"Taishi, the Ming army in the rear is from Deshengmen!"
"The Weng Niu tribe has completely retreated, and their leader Mao Na has also disappeared, so let's retreat!"
It's still a good situation, but by the way, it's corrupted.
This is the charm of war, you really can't laugh too early, because those who laugh early generally don't laugh last, and you can't tell when the situation will change dramatically.
Then you'll find that it's hard to do.
This is the feeling now, if you are not careful, you will be defeated, and the defeat will be unclear and unclear.
He defeated hundreds of thousands of elite Ming troops in Tumubao, and even captured the emperor of the Han people, and everyone was saying that the wise and martial Taishi was about to recover the ancestral industry of the Great Yuan first, and even he believed it himself.
Therefore, the troops divided into three routes, marched in unison, and besieged Beijing.
Who would have thought that it would end up with such a result in just half a month after arriving in Beijing?
First of all, his younger brother Boluo was killed by the Shenji Battalion at Deshengmen, and his bones were gone, and the 10,000 elite cavalry of the headquarters were lost.
In this large-scale attack, the Mongolian chieftains who were attached to him fought with the Ming army at Jiumen, not to mention the heavy casualties, but they did not even touch the city gate of Beijing.
The most powerful tribe in the Mongolian steppes was the Wengniut tribe, but they were defeated at Deshengmen, and even their leader, Mao Nazi, is now missing.
Just go back like this, how can you have the face to continue to be this master?
From the initial complacency to the current embarrassment, for Yexian, this change is too fast, and people are not the slightest bit defenseless.
To the north, Shi Heng and his nephew Shi Biao were leading the Chengsheng division of Deshengmen to fiercely attack the rear of the Warat army.
On the front, Zhu Di, who personally killed out of the city, took more than 10,000 freshly recruited guards with knives and a variety of weapons, and actually killed the Wara cavalry in defeat.
In fact, when the battle is fought to this point, it is time to find out the problem first, the main problem is not that his Warat Iron Riders dare not fight hard, the main problem is on himself.
Maybe he was invincible on the steppe first, but he wouldn't attack the city at all.
How could there be a person who had defeated the enemy's main force and given the other side more than a month to repair and then come to besiege the city slowly?
I did it first.
How can anyone not prepare any heavy weapons before the siege, or even long-range weapons only with the steppe short bow?
I did it first.
His ability to be invincible on the grassland proves that it is not that he does not know how to fight, but that he simply does not know how to attack a city, especially a giant city like Beijing.
Now, the wisest decision would be nothing more than to completely abandon the foolish decision of besieging Beijing and lead the Warat army to withdraw.
But I also looked at the defeat on the battlefield first, but I was unwilling to make such a decision in my heart.
"Taishi, I can't stay here."
"I just got the news that all the departments have withdrawn their troops, and if they don't withdraw, the Ming troops at the other city gates will be surrounded by them, and it will be difficult to leave."
He was hesitating first, and was very pleasantly surprised to hear the words of his younger brother Boyan Timur.
"Aren't you directing the attack on Andingmen?" The next moment, the surprise that was also on his brow turned into consternation.
"Tao Jin of Andingmen is not easy to mess with, he still has a cavalry of more than 2,000 people in his hand, which is not weaker than our Warat warriors at all, in order to avoid too much damage to the headquarters, I will withdraw in time."
Boyan Timur said, broke a crossbow arrow shot into his leg, sighed and said: "Fortunately, it's just a crossbow arrow, if it's a thunderbolt of the Ming army, I'm afraid I'll go to see the third brother now." ”
Obviously, in the battle of Deshengmen, the thunderbolt cannon that bloomed as soon as the Shenji Battalion landed had left a great psychological shadow on the warriors of Warat.
He couldn't reprimand his brother for anything, because even he was completely defeated.
At first, he was only very puzzled, and he said: "The Ming army is so strong, how did that little emperor lose to us in the battle of Tumubao?" ”
"Go back and ask him." Boyan Timur was also very angry at the damage of his people, and said: "Don't talk about this yet, let's retreat to the camp and think about it in the long run." ”
He also nodded first, reined in the reins of his horse and shouted: "Blow the trumpet, withdraw the army!" ”
But I didn't know that after only a while, the battlefield was already different from just now.
He was hesitating, but Zhu Di, who rushed out, didn't waste even a second.
I was also shocked to find that the Ming army that rushed out from the main gate had broken through its own Chinese army, and it was about to come to the front.
Under the leadership of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty in golden armor, the more than 10,000 recruits were like tigers descending from the mountain, and his Chinese army was like paper paste, and they scattered as soon as they rushed.
This is the embodiment of an army without will, and it has nothing to do with individual combat effectiveness.
Purely in terms of combat effectiveness, the more than 10,000 guards with knives behind Zhu Di were determined to defeat the Warat cavalry around him who had been fighting for a long time, but the Warat people already understood that they couldn't capture Beijing at all, and they didn't want to play here.
The hearts of men are scattered, and no matter how many there are, they are only lambs to the slaughter.
As I said before, most of the Warats only took advantage of the chaos to loot this time.
Everyone in the Warat cavalry had horses prepared, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they got on their horses and left, and they rushed and dispersed as quickly as they could.
"First too!"
"I let you run away in the last life, and I want to kill you in this life to pay tribute to the heroic soul of my soldiers who died in battle!"
