On the afternoon of the sixth day of the first month, 50,000 people under Guan Tong all arrived in the north of Changli County, and the banner hunting swept away, if the black cloud pressed the city, the 50,000 army and the Ming army on the city wall looked across the river. On the side of Changli County, under Zhu Su's order, the city gate was closed in an orderly manner, and the militia was signed, and there were more than 15,000 militiamen.

"I didn't expect so many people to join the army, it seems that the people here have been suffering for a long time." On the city tower, Ru Taisu stroked his long beard and looked at the dense militia and sighed.

"It's just that these recruits lack equipment and training, so they can't be of much use after all." Zhu Fan said. Although he was surprised to be able to recruit so many militiamen in a short period of time, along the way, Zhu Fan also understood that fighting a war is not just a matter of numbers. He looked at Zhu Su with some concern: "Old Five, there are 50,000 outside the city, can you really hold it?" ”

"Why not." Zhu Su and Zhu Di sat opposite each other on the city tower, and Zhu Su also stretched out his hand to pour a bowl of tea for Zhu Zhang: "The art of war is surrounded by ten, and five is attacked." Counting the more than 10,000 militiamen with new signs, our army is close to 30,000. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ru Taisu and said, "Old Rutou, the county still needs you to preside over the overall situation, so you should go back to the county government first." ”

"By the way, those captives remember to settle properly in the city, so as not to take advantage of the enemy troops outside the city."

Looking at Zhu Su's posture, Ru Taisu knew that several highnesses were trying to boost the morale of the army on the city tower. He was still a little worried, but Zhu Su's analysis also gave him some confidence. Thinking that he didn't know anything about military affairs, it was indeed better to appease the people in the city, so he arched his hand and said: "The old minister understands." Your Highness, please put your own safety first. ”

"If so...... If it is impossible to do something, His Royal Highness can leave the old minister to guard the city alone, and His Royal Highness will bring his own people to retreat......" Ru Taisu thought for a while, and said to Zhu Su in his ear.

"Hahahaha. Old Rutou, you are so worried, what are you doing? ”

"I regard the Yuan army outside the city as only 50,000 grass mustards, as long as you sit here, the sons and daughters will break it for this king. What dangers can there be? Zhu Su deliberately laughed loudly.

Beside him, the sergeants who were still a little panicked heard him say this, and they suddenly became a little suspicious. His Royal Highness is so confident, could it be that those Yuan troops outside the city are really vulnerable?

"Three Highnesses, the enemy has begun to cross the river!" Cao Yuandao, the general standing beside him.

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the Yuan army outside the city, only to see that the Yuan army did not set up a camp, and after a little rest, they got up directly and began to cross the river.

"Oh, I'm so arrogant." Zhu Su sneered and stood up.

"Gentlemen, it seems that the general on the other side didn't take you seriously." He deliberately glanced around at the surrounding generals, and sure enough, seeing that the Yuan army crossed the river directly to attack the city without camping, the eyes of a group of Ming generals were not good.

If they attack the city directly without setting up a camp, do they think that the Ming army in Changli City is all muddy, and they can be killed casually?

"Grandma's, Your Highness, give me a cavalry for Lao Chang, and while he crosses the river halfway, I'll surprise him......" Chang Mao, who was still solemn before, was already thunderous at this time, and asked Zhu Su for battle with a big iron spear. The rest of the generals were also indignant, and knelt down one after another to ask for the opening of the city to fight.

"It's not necessary to fight in Kaesong." Seeing that the army's heart was available, Zhu Su smiled, sat down and took a sip of tea. "Since they want to attack the city, let them do it."

"This king originally had a plan to retreat from the enemy, but now it seems that it is better to defeat these Yuan troops with a strategy than to directly defeat their offensive on this city wall."

"This battle is only a watch, if you are not the opponent of the Yuan army, how about this king to make another move?"

Hearing Zhu Su say this deliberately, a group of Ming generals suddenly surged blood upwards. Chang Mao shouted: "What does Your Highness mean by this? Isn't it saying that we are inferior to this group of meta dogs? ”

"Grandma, I have always taken the military merits of this battle by myself, how can I rely on His Highness's clever plan every time? I earned enough military merits earlier, and there are always people in the province who say that my country's work is not worthy of the name! ”

When the rest of the people heard that His Highness really had a clever plan, they immediately felt like they had taken a reassuring pill. Since the heart has been settled, this temperament has also come up: it is also a pair of shoulders carrying a head, can the army of only 50,000 yuan still be afraid of him? This time, it is up to us to guard these 50,000 people, and His Royal Highness of the province thinks that we will only eat food!

In an instant, the vanguard of the Yuan army had crossed the river, and a group of generals were in their positions in an instant, and they were really busy defending. Zhu Di looked at Zhu Su with an indifferent face, and said in a low voice: "Fifth brother, do you really have any clever plan to break the enemy?" ”

"What does the fourth brother think?" Zhu Su raised his head and winked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di understood in an instant, his fifth brother said this, just to give his soldiers a layer of confidence.

Deliberately drinking tea on the castle tower is also a trick to break the enemy, but it is just a means to boost morale. In order to just defend against this wave of attacks from Guantong.

Seeing that the rain of arrows had begun to be thrown on the city tower, Zhu Fan asked: "Old Five, after all, there are 50,000 people on the other side, but we only have 10,000." If the enemy attacks day after day, what can be done? ”

"Oh, an army of 50,000 people, I don't know how much I spend in a day. How much military ration can he carry with him, enough to support him to attack day after day? Zhu Su said. In my opinion, the limit of what they can have for three or five days' bread is already the limit. ”

"These three or five days will definitely be a fierce battle, and we must defend this county. Waiting to see the lack of food in the Scouts...... It's a turnaround. ”

There was a gleam in Zhu Su's eyes, and it disappeared. Not only Guantong, but Naha, who has been under Yongping City for a long time at this time, must also run out of ammunition and food. If you want to consume it, the first one who can't afford it will definitely not be the Ming army.

"The enemy army has come down to the city." Zhu Di said.

In the sound of war drums that seemed to directly hit people's hearts, countless Yuan troops rushed to the city of Changli with simple ladders, and the simple ladders were set up on the city wall at will, and then countless Yuan troops climbed up like ants, climbing up to the city wall one after another.

The most attritional siege method: Ant-attached siege!

However, the momentum of the Yuan army is unusually fierce, even though most of the ladders were cut and smashed by the Ming army, and from time to time there were screams from the soldiers of the Yuan army when they were pushed down from the high ladders under the city wall, but there were still many soldiers of the Yuan army rushed to the city wall along the ladders, and killed them towards the place where the Wang Banner of Zhu Su and several people was erected.

"Prime Minister Zuo has an order: those who kill the prince of the Ming Dynasty will reward thousands of cattle and sheep, and seal ten thousand households!" Yuan Bing shouted with red eyes, and charged desperately towards Zhu Su and the others who were drinking tea.

"Ten thousand households who reward you as a bird!" Chang Mao didn't expect the Yuan army's attack to be so crazy, and an iron spear stabbed a Yuan soldier who had just climbed the city wall, and then said loudly: "Brothers, don't embarrass Lao Tzu!" Give me all these meta dogs! ”

"If several highnesses are injured by these yuan dogs, what face do we have to see the prince and His Majesty!"
