Shells really don't land in the same crater twice, especially for a catapult like the return gun, which is already very poorly accurate. In the ensuing battle, although the fire continued, it did not happen again that the stone just hit the castle tower as before. On the contrary, seeing that the three princes were still sitting on the tower in the roaring rocks, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and they repelled the attack of the Yuan army of the Guantong Institute faster than yesterday.

"Today we have defended the walls, but tomorrow we will be in danger." Seeing that the two sides had begun to clean up the battlefield, Zhu Di stood up. He looked around at the city towers that were smashed by rock cannons on all sides: "Tomorrow, the Yuan army will definitely set up more return cannons." After all, the city wall of Changli County is low, and under the indiscriminate bombardment of multiple return cannons at the same time, the city wall may not be able to withstand it. ”

"I know." Zhu Su rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. These return cannons that the Yuan army moved out are really a bit tricky. Although the accuracy of the head is a big problem, maybe tomorrow, the blind cat will run into a dead mouse again. What if you really smash yourself into a pulp?

"Grandma's, as a traverser, was suppressed by the natives in terms of firepower...... Looking back, if I don't drag dozens of cannons over, I won't be able to kill you. Zhu Lao Wu's eyes were extremely unkind when he looked at the return gun.

"Huh? What do you say? Zhu Fan heard Zhu Su's muttering.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Zhu Su came back to his senses violently, quickly waved his hand, and said, "I mean, after two days, it's almost over." Looks like it's time to surprise the Guantong guy......"

"Huh? Fifth brother, are you finally going to start using tricks? Zhu Di was excited.

"We've been on the fence for two days, and we're almost ready to move on to the next step." Zhu Su nodded. "Well, I don't really like to use these schemes." He glanced at Zhu Di and fanned the folding fan. "According to my thoughts, it is best to directly sweep all my Ming opponents into the dust with an absolute superiority of the dignified army. I'm ...... It's still not strong enough, and with a plan, it's still risky after all. ”

"You're right." Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully. "If I am strong in Daming, where will these Yuan dogs still have the courage to come to my Daming City? But fifth brother, you don't have to beat around the bush to remind me not to indulge in risky schemes, I still understand the truth that soldiers need to be right. It's just that it's very autumn now, so don't hide it, and hurry up and use your strategy. ”

"Hey, hey." Seeing that Zhu Di had already understood his reminder, Zhu Su didn't continue to say more, turned his head and ordered: "Go, gather all those captives in the city." ”

"When the Yuan army retreated across the river, they opened the city gates and drove all the captives out of the city......

……

On the other side of the river, the tired Guantong had just taken off his helmet when he saw the deputy general Nai'er reporting without spending money in the tent: "My lord, I am waiting for now, and I only have tomorrow's dry food left." ”

"If it's tomorrow, we won't be able to take this city...... Do you have any plans? ”

"Isn't there another day?" Guan Tong waved his hand irritably. "Let the battalion build a return cannon all night, and attack the city early tomorrow morning, I don't believe that tomorrow day, we won't be able to capture this Changli County!"

What is more urgent than the "three or five days" that Zhu Su guessed is that in fact, the Yuan army led by Guan Tong only carried three days' worth of grain and grass with them.

After all, even Naha's headquarters didn't have much food and grass, and they didn't take the Ming army led by these little princes of the Ming court in their eyes. A county town garrisoned by 10,000 people can be captured with a single drum according to common sense. If a part of the soldiers were to maintain the logistics of food and grass transportation, they would not be able to attack the city with all their might, not to mention, there would be no need for that at all.

You must know that Guo Xing's department is still eyeing Naha. Although they did not have enough troops under their command, they only dared to retreat in the Jianchang camp and did not dare to act rashly. But if he finds a chance, Guantong and Nahachu have no doubt that this Ming Gong Changhou will definitely show his fangs and tear off a piece of meat on their bodies.

Therefore, the "quick battle" is the strategy that Guantong drew up for himself when he came to Changli on the order of Naha. According to his thoughts, even though these little princes of the Ming Court are a little smart, they have always been used to brocade clothes and jade food, and they must have no courage. When you see a large army several times your size pressing the border, you will definitely lose your morale and be in chaos.

He didn't expect that instead of messing up, these little princes dared to personally sit at the head of the city to boost morale, so that this rabble of Ming troops stubbornly supported their two-day onslaught!

"Look! The Ming army has opened the city gates! Someone shouted in the direction of the city.

Guan Tong was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw that under the sunset, the Ming army really opened the city gate, and then, many figures walked out of the city gate.

"Huh? Does the Ming army want to go out of the city for a decisive battle? ”

"Hurry up and inform your lordship! Archers ready to fight! ”

"No, why don't these people have any weapons?" ……

As those Yuan soldiers said, Guan Tong saw that this group of people was indeed unarmed in the afterglow of the sunset.

After a rough estimate, after more than 20,000 people were released from the city gate by the Ming army, the city gate was closed again, and then the more than 20,000 unarmed people poured towards them.

"Don't let go of the arrows! Don't let go of the arrows! We are allies! Someone in the front row shouted in Mongolian, and the Yuan army was obviously confused by this group of people who suddenly appeared from the city, and he didn't know whether to be on guard or to let down his guard. Someone reported their shout to Guan Tong, who hesitated several times, and finally made a decision: "Archers don't let go of arrows, shout to let those people slowly cross the river from the side, and the whole army will alert the Ming army to open the city to cover up!" ”

Originally, Guan Tong was also worried that these people were some kind of trick used by the Ming army, so although he gave an order not to release arrows, he still let the archers draw arrows, and once this group of people moved, they immediately fired ten thousand arrows.

But this group of people was very obedient, and after hearing the shouts of the Yuan army, they slowly bypassed the river from the side, and did not attack the Yuan army's military formation head-on. The situation that Guan Tong was worried about when the Ming army suddenly left the city and took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing did not happen.

"This ...... What's the situation? He blinked in surprise. Could it be that these people are really our captured allies? ”

"But...... Why? This is more than 20,000 Yuan troops! The brain of the commander of the Ming army, is it a stupid thing? Is this disgusting that his opponent does not have enough troops? ”

You must know that the Ming army was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength. At this juncture, the prisoners who had more than 20,000 people were released for no reason, isn't this an increase in the strength of their opponents?
