Chapter 98: Last Stand
Biting Zhu is very satisfied with the mountain special operations forces he trains.
He felt that it would be absolutely easy to lead this force to break through Fengtai.
So he didn't tell his soldiers to wear too heavy armor, nor did he carry a lot of food.
As long as Fengtai is broken, you can wear the armor of the Ming army and eat the food of the Ming army.
Historically, he has indeed done just that.
But now, history has changed slightly.
King Yan, who was supposed to be entrenched in Shuntian Mansion, has already come to Fengtai City.
He brought not only the guards he had trained, but also twenty cannons in red coats.
Biting Zhu will pay a terrible price for his hubris.
……
A day later.
A personal guard broke into Zhu Di's military tent.
"Tell the prince, there is a change in the mountains and forests in the northwest!"
This pro-guard army was specially selected by Zhu Di to observe the enemy's situation.
In modern parlance, he's a farsighted eye, perfect for the role of a scout.
After Zhu Di heard the pro-guard army's announcement, his face showed an extremely shocked look.
It was really expected by Mr. He.
The enemy is really coming over the mountains.
"Mr. He is really a man of God!"
Zhu Di exclaimed, then got up and said, "Follow me to the city wall!" ”
After speaking, Zhu Di took the lead in walking towards the city wall.
Standing on the city wall, Zhu Di looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that in the mountains and forests in the northwest, there were frequent birds rising into the sky, proving that there must be many people marching in the mountains and forests.
Of course, this sign is not particularly obvious strictly speaking.
If Zhu Di hadn't heard He Qiu say it in advance, he really wouldn't have discovered this abnormality.
"Inform the brothers, get ready for battle!"
Zhu Di gave an order, and the guards immediately took action.
The people of the Institute of Chemistry also began to overhaul the red-coated cannons standing at the head of the city.
Now the three gates of Fengtai City have been sealed, and a large amount of fire oil and rolling stones have been prepared on the city wall.
There is also a moat outside the city.
If the Northern Yuan army wanted to attack from the east, west, and south gates, it would be basically useless.
The moat at the north gate was filled in by Zhu Di.
The purpose was to allow the Northern Yuan army to choose to attack from the north gate.
The two sides directly hit each other.
After all, there are too few guards under King Yan.
If you want to guard the four gates, you will definitely be busy.
Having your forces in one place is the best option.
……
In the afternoon of the same day, the Northern Yuan commandos, which had been attacking thousands of miles, finally arrived near Fengtai City.
Biting Zhu did not attack immediately, but let those soldiers repair on the spot first.
After all, he still has some military literacy, and knows that raid battles are best held at night.
Battles launched during the day are not considered raids.
And the most important thing is that after such a long time of running, the soldiers are already exhausted, and they must rest for a while to recover their combat effectiveness.
Biting Zhu directly ordered the soldiers to eat all the remaining food, drink all the remaining water, and then sleep well.
It's like fighting a backwater.
Tonight's raid is sure to win.
After Biting Zhu gave the order, he also lay down and rested.
In his sleep, he even saw the proud appearance of the spring breeze after he broke through Fengtai, and also saw the picture of the emperor praising himself after he went back.
……
Time turned, and it was the evening of the same day.
The commando team totaled 8,000 people, and under the leadership of Biting Zhu, they quietly sneaked towards Fengtai City.
When there was still a kilometer away from Fengtai City, a large number of torches suddenly lit up on Fengtai City.
Then someone shouted, "Who's coming ahead?" ”
This sound directly stunned Zhu Zhu.
What's the situation?
In the middle of the night, I couldn't see my fingers.
More than 8,000 people, all dressed in black light armor.
There are no torches, and they walk lightly.
How could the people of Fengtai City find out?
The deputy general Xiao Ertie whispered to Zhu Zhu: "Prime Minister, we seem to have been discovered, what should we do?" Want to stop? ”
Biting Zhu and slapping it on the face, he said angrily: "Fools, they must be bluffing, our actions this time are already secret enough!" Tell everyone to continue to move forward at the same speed, start charging at 500 meters, be sure to break the city in a stick of incense, and then kill all the soldiers and civilians in the city! ”
This is the slaughter of the city.
After all, they were a deep assault team, without any support.
After capturing a city, all hidden dangers must be eliminated in a short period of time.
Xiao'er covered her face and said with a dry smile: "The prime minister is really wise, but after the city is broken, can the women kill later, the soldiers are tired, and they need to have some fun......"
Biting Zhu squinted at Xiao'er Tie and said: "I think you want to have fun, let me tell you, it's nothing to break a mere Fengtai City, what I want is to break Shuntianfu and plant the banner of our Northern Yuan Dynasty on the gate of Shuntianfu."
At that time, it will not be too late for you and the soldiers to indulge in pleasure, do you understand? ”
Po Er nodded and immediately conveyed the order.
At the head of Fengtai City, Zhu Di looked into the distance, touched his chin and said: "This Beiyuan people are really upright enough, let's shout out, they still have to move forward!" ”
Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, lord, the poor monk thinks that they may not believe that they have been exposed!" ”
Zhu Di sneered: "Then let them get closer, have the guards on both sides been arranged?" ”
Yao Guangxiao nodded and said: "It has been arranged, if the Northern Yuan army is dispersed, the people on both sides will attack immediately!" ”
Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Well done, we can't let any Beiyuan people escape this time, let alone let the Beiyuan people know our secret weapon!" ”
Now the Ming Dynasty is limited to national strength, and there is no way to go deep into the north for the time being and completely sweep the Northern Yuan.
Therefore, it is necessary to hide the strength and paralyze the people of the Northern Yuan, so that they cannot continue to flee north.
When potatoes and sweet potatoes were mass-produced, the fire guns were successfully improved, and thousands of red-coated cannons were added, Zhu Di was sure to use a battle to eliminate the Northern Yuan Dynasty and completely solve the hidden dangers on the border of the Ming Dynasty!
At that time, he will have great merit and can gain a great voice in the military, and it will be easy to do something.
Of course, that's all for later.
The most important thing now is to entertain this Northern Yuan army from afar.
……
In about half a burnt of incense, the Beiyuan commando team marched to a distance of 600 meters.
This location is not far from Fengtai City.
Zhu Di can already see the figures of those Beiyuan people.
He directly raised the red order flag in his hand and shouted: "Fire!" ”
The people from the Institute of Chemistry had already loaded the shells and calibrated the orientation.
Under Zhu Di's order, they immediately lit the fuse.
With a loud bang, twenty shells burst out of the chamber and flew towards the Beiyuan commando with a roar......
