On the 13th, Zhu Di came to the front line, ten miles away from Baling City, the Chinese army camp.

If it weren't for the fact that the rebel artillery was relatively fierce, Zhu Di would still be able to move the Chinese army camp forward by five miles.

Zhu Di's camp is located in the east of Baling, near the Tumen Town Division, where there used to be a patrol inspection department, backed by Yantou Mountain.

The inspection department went out to the south and there was a river.

His position was also carefully chosen, because the east of Baling was not suitable for attacking the city, so the official army mainly attacked the south gate and falsely attacked the north gate.

He commanded in the east, and the news from both sides could be obtained as soon as possible.

Behind him is Rock Head Mountain, which ensures that the back will not be attacked by the rebels.

Both the north and the south are large numbers of officers and troops, and it is impossible to be attacked.

Unless the rebels come out of the city, they can face his Chinese soldiers and horses.

He also wished that there were rebels in Baling City, and he could teach the rebels a good lesson.

After arriving at Tumen Town, Zhu Di arranged defenses, asked people to dig a ditch and build a wall outside the east gate of Baling City to stop the rebels, and at the same time selected a special envoy to prepare to send someone to meet Zhu Gaoxu.

At this time, standing on Baling City, in the three directions of southeast and north, the official and military camps, one after another, endlessly, more than 600,000 troops plus 100,000 soldiers and remaining people accompanying the march, a total of 780,000 people, like ants without seeing their heads, incomparably magnificent.

This will not mention rushing into battle, even if you ride a war horse, you have to run for more than half an hour from the northernmost part of the official army camp to the southernmost part of the camp unimpeded.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps this time the accumulation of soldiers and horses is the most.

On the edge of the Yangtze River, there are still a large number of ships and tens of thousands of people are busy, all kinds of baggage, artillery, materials, grain and grass are gathered.

The grain of the army, Zhu Di was hoarded at the foot of Yantou Mountain and Linxiang County, and the protection was tight.

Looking at his formation, he plans to fight a war of attrition with Zhu Gaoxu, even if it is in Baling City, he can fight for a year and a half.

Because the main battlefield in his heart is not here, but Fujian.

When he thought of Fujian, Zhu Di was suddenly stunned and asked Hou Xian: "Where is Zheng He?" Why is there no news? ”

At this time in the original history, Zheng He had returned to Beijing for the first time on an ocean, and Zhu Di was busy dealing with Zhu Gaoxu during this time, recruiting troops and horses everywhere, and only today did he think of Zheng He.

Hou Xian's expression was embarrassed: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid has not received news from Zheng He recently." ”

Zhu Di's expression was not very good-looking.

Hou Xian hurriedly said: "The sea route is long, the news is also inconvenient to communicate, and the rebels occupy Jiaozhi and occupy the city, if Zheng He wants to come back, he will not be able to communicate, and he will definitely have to take a long detour." ”

And they didn't specify a route, maybe Zheng He ran farther and didn't come back yet?

Zhu Di was silent for a while, and of course he hoped that Zheng He would run farther or come back by a detour.

Forget it, Zhu Di quickly shook his head, the top priority is to defeat the rebel, and Zheng He's matter is not in a hurry.

After all, although Zheng He's hands are big and numerous, they are not suitable for the Huguang and Jiangnan areas, many waterways cannot be opened, and there are only 10,000 or 20,000 sailors, which cannot affect the overall situation.

Two days later, in the early morning, the officers and troops began to assemble very early, and all kinds of siege equipment were ready.

Including the rebellious military car, after Zhu Di heard about it, he learned to bring a large number of Wuhan Iron and Steel cars.

The Wuhan Iron and Steel car is a bit similar to the car, which was available in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period, and the original history Zhu Di built tens of thousands of vehicles for the Northern Expedition.

The Ming army took the Wuhan Iron and Steel car more to carry goods, but after seeing Zhu Gaoxu attacking the city with a car, Zhu Di also ordered it to be modified and used as a car.

The officers and troops decided to attack from the south, south, and south, and about 100,000 people participated in the siege, and it took almost an hour to assemble alone.

Finally, after the officers and troops were assembled, the war drums, horns and cannons sounded in the rear.

Inspection, inspection, a team of officers and soldiers pushed the Wuhan Iron and Steel cart and carried the ladder forward.

The Baling moat is extremely narrow, far less than Jingzhou, and only the south side has it, so only the south side will be ready to dig up the earth and fill the river.

Just when the officers and soldiers were moving forward.

Suddenly, the general in front of him, Jing Fifteen, ran back.

"Report, Your Majesty." Jing Fifteen stammered: "The rebels at the head of the city, erect - Emperor Gao's god card -——"

“？？” Zhu Di was stunned for several seconds.

"The rebel actually learns Tie Xuan?" Zhu Di was angry and funny: "Okay, don't learn, it's quite fast to learn this?" ”

At this time, the official army had already entered within 500 steps of Baling City, and the head of the city had not yet opened fire.

Zhu Di immediately ordered a pause.

Zhu Di looked at the god card erected at the head of Baling City, and he didn't think so in his heart.

Is it okay to fight? Of course you have to fight.

He raised the country's troops, hundreds of thousands of troops were in Huguang, and every day he ate, drank and lazar was money and food, and he was able to spend it here with Zhu Gaoxu.

The key is that he needs to contain Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses in Huguang.

As far as he knew, the main elite of the rebel son were all in Huguang, and only if he kept attacking the rebel son could he nail the rebel soldiers and horses in Huguang and not move, so that the more likely Zhu Neng and them were to break through Fuzhou.

Baling will definitely be attacked, not only Baling, but also Changsha, and the places occupied by the rebels in the circle of Huguang and Dongting Lake will be harassed and attacked, so as to achieve the goal of delaying the Huguang rebels.

If everyone is here with a god card, with the rebel son being so insidious, it is possible to quietly send troops to support Fuzhou or bypass the Beijing Division?

Zhu Di paid attention to it in his heart, and immediately recruited Xu Cheng, Tong Xin, Ma Ying and others.

"Last time the rebel son attacked Jingzhou, how did he deal with my fifteenth brother?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it is rumored that the traitor also made the Emperor Gao's god card, which made the King of Liao helpless." Xu Cheng told Zhu Gaoxu how to break the palace.

"The rebel son will bring his own way to death, and someone will come." Zhu Di was energetic, and immediately ordered, and the accompanying craftsmen immediately made magic cards.

This will besiege not a palace, but a city, so the city will not be attacked that day, and the craftsmen will work day and night, and the next day, the official army will regroup.

I saw dozens of rows in front, about 30,000 or 40,000 people, all of whom had no weapons, only ladders and Wuhan Iron and Steel cars.

There are many people in the front row holding the god card, and then every few rows, there is another row of people holding the god card.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to laugh when he saw it in the city, but Zhu Di was completely led by his nose.

I made thousands of magic cards one day and one night.

"Drumming." With Zhu Di's order.

The drums of war in the Ming Dynasty rumbled, and the tide-like officers and troops moved forward.

"Long live Emperor Gao." Some officers and soldiers raised signs and shouted.

"Long live Emperor Gao." The scene echoed.

The morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly shocked, as if after a shout, they could protect their bodies and be invulnerable.

As they entered within 500 paces, the defenders at the head of the city did not open fire.

A moment later, the officers and troops under the city entered within 300 paces, and the head of the city still did not respond.

Zhu Di watched the great joy in the back, and the rebel son was cocooned and bound himself, now what do you do?

Zhu Di is also a ruthless person, he has long ordered that after climbing the city wall, he immediately grabbed the knife and killed people, regardless of Emperor Gao's god card, he killed first, opened the city gate, and captured the rebel alive.

Because as long as the battle is won, you can say whatever he wants, and then it can be said that the rebel son will order the move first, and the officials and soldiers will not be forced to fight back.

Zhu Di is secretly thinking about the beauty, but he still feels that he is a step ahead, and the rebel son will definitely not think that I am so ruthless, and my father's magic card can also be ignored.

He can even ignore the last life of his father Zhu Yuanzhang, and directly rebel to replace Zhu Yunwen, which will really put Zhu Yuanzhang's magic card in his eyes.

The battle of Jinan, in front of everyone's eyes, he is not easy to do, and now after waiting for people to climb to the top of the city, it is not clear who will do it first.

Just when Zhu Di was thinking about it, the official army was already within a hundred steps of Baling City.

At this time, a military general waved his hand.

The shouts at the scene shook the sky, and the officers and soldiers like a tide carried the ladder and pushed the Wuhan Iron and Steel car to the city.

Sixty steps.

Fifty steps.

Twenty steps.

The city head did not respond.

The officers and sergeants were excited.

But at this very moment.

Boom, the three gates of Baling City opened one after another.

"The King of Han has descended?" Some people are still wondering if the King of Han has descended, and when they see Emperor Gao's god card, they don't dare to do it directly?

Before they could rejoice, suddenly, with a bang, a cannon in the city opened fire directly, and with a whoosh, the shell accurately hit the group of officers and soldiers more than 600 paces away.

"Kill." The shouts of killing rose to the sky in the city, and the rolling iron cavalry and infantry battalions rushed out of the city gate like a gust of wind and rushed towards the officers and soldiers.

At this time, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers at the scene did not bring weapons, and the rebel soldiers raised and fell with knives, such as cutting vegetables and cutting melons.

The officers and soldiers were cut down.

The number of officers and soldiers on both sides of the city gate was extremely numerous, and the number of siege equipment such as ladders was also the largest.

Someone tried to hold up the god card high and shouted, "Long live Emperor Gao." ”

"Fuck you." A rebel army went up with a knife, and with a bang, even the god card was cut in two.

The scene suddenly exploded, and many people turned their heads in fright and ran away.

The rebel army did not talk about martial arts, regardless of the BUFF of Emperor Gao's god card, and rushed out directly to slash and kill, killing the officers and soldiers who did not bring weapons and howling wolves, starting to spread from both sides of the city gate, many officers and soldiers turned their heads and ran, and soon formed a rout around the city.

And just as they turned around, the artillery at the head of the city continued to rise upward, hitting into the distance, bombarding their rear formation.

The officers and soldiers immediately became even more chaotic.

The rebel army pursued and killed all the way, destroyed their ladders and Wugang vehicles, and killed the officers and troops for three miles before they began to collect their troops and return to the city.

If it weren't for the fact that the official army and the rear army were in the escort formation, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many officers and soldiers, Zhu Gaoxu almost defeated Zhu Di's official army in a battle.

Before the official army started, they suffered a big defeat, and Zhu Di's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted: "This animal." ”

Zhu Di scolded in the back, completely ignoring the image of the emperor.

Before the fight, Zhu Di still thought that Zhu Gaoxu would not dare to make a move in front of everyone, he hid his own private soldiers, and after going to the city, he would launch a surprise attack, and then he would frame the rebel son and ignore the ancestors to do it first.

Such a perfect plan can only be thought of by me.

Among the kings of the Ming Dynasty at this time, only Zhu Di dared to ignore Emperor Gao's tablet so much and could do so.

Unexpectedly, the rebel son Qing came out of the blue, and was better than the blue, first showed weakness with the fake sign of the god card, and waited for the officials and soldiers to learn from him to raise the card, and immediately did not talk about martial arts, and the elite was exhausted, and the officials and troops were defeated.

On the first day, the attack of the official army suffered heavy losses, and nearly 3,000 people were killed and wounded by the rebels before and after, and their morale was greatly damaged.

But what made people vomit blood was that in the afternoon of the same day, the rest of the officers and soldiers who were responsible for harassing and attacking Changsha, Jianli and other departments came back angrily to report to Zhu Di.

Today, all the rebel cities have erected Emperor Gao's god card, especially Tan Qing, the governor of the Chinese army who fought Changsha, who led 50,000 soldiers and horses to feint to attack Changsha, just to contain the rebels in Changsha.

Unexpectedly, there were also Emperor Gao's god cards hanging everywhere over there, of course Tan Qing didn't dare to attack, but he was afraid that Changsha soldiers and horses would come out to rescue Baling, so he led a large army to block the Xiangjiang River north of Changsha.

Because the rebels supported Baling, the fastest support from the Xiangjiang waterway.

Who knew that as soon as his soldiers and horses were stationed, a fleet of boats drove along the river, and the gods of Emperor Gao were erected on the boats.

The Xiangjiang River is only a few dozen steps wide, and it can be shot to the opposite bank with a bow and arrow.

Tan Qing's subordinates didn't dare to shoot with a bow, and the other party sang and danced happily on the boat, almost making Tan Qing vomit blood.

As the last few boats passed, a wave of rebels suddenly appeared next to the boats and crackled their horns and fired at the officers and soldiers on their shore.

Tan Qing, who was watching from the shore, was also almost shot.

The officers and soldiers were furious and scolded one after another, but they did not dare to shoot back.

Zhu Di was furious when he heard this, and kicked over a stool in front of him.

Zhu Di, who was furious, couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately ordered that from today on, no matter what magic cards, they would all ignore them, shoot me hard, and hit me with cannons.

Zhu Gaoxu's actions also completely tore the faces of both sides, and from now on, the so-called Gaozu Divine Card is no longer useful in the eyes of both the rebels and the official army.

But a few days after Zhu Di's order was issued, Jin Zhong, the political envoy of the Pinghan Bu stationed in Wuchang, sent a secret letter, that Your Majesty, recently in Wuchang City, is rumored that Your Majesty has no ancestors, no monarchs and no fathers, and actually ordered to bombard the god card, that Your Majesty, pay a little attention? Public opinion is not good.

When Zhu Di saw the secret letter, he almost turned his back on it.

"Attack the city for me, and beat it hard." With Zhu Di's angry voice, the most brutal siege battle in the history of Baling City began again.
