The leader of the Mongols was changed from the Great Yuan Emperor to the Great Khan of Wara, and while regaining the "wildness" of the steppe peoples, they also lost many of the technologies that the Yuan Dynasty had lit up over the past hundred years. When the Yuan court was still there, the Yuan soldiers had actually learned to use firearms, and Da Yuan's catapult "Hui Hui Cannon" and siege vehicle "Lu Gongcha" were also very exquisite, which could be called the sharpest weapons in this era to destroy cities and villages.

However, in the hands of Yessudier, because he lived in the steppe for a long time and did not pay attention to technology and craftsmen, the siege method of the Warat soldiers degraded to a worse state than in the time of Genghis Khan.

The Warat soldiers were indeed fierce and brave when they rode horses and shot arrows, but in the face of the not very tall walls of Hami City, there was not much better way than to dismount and attack the city. 、

"I thought how fierce the Great Khan was, but that's all it turned out to be. I didn't see him have any three heads and six arms! "The defender of the eastern city wall, Wang Xian, once again repelled the attack of Yessudie'er, and spat at the Warats who had receded like a tide under the city. He was the Han general who welcomed Zhu Di into the city that day, although he was a general promoted by Yao Guangxiao as a national teacher, but in fact he was not from the military.

His identity turned out to be a ranger who belonged to the "Qin Gang" in the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the tense situation in the northwest, in order to broaden the horizons of the people, the newspapers also publicized the rise of the Timurid Empire. Therefore, in the eyes of many common people and rangers, the Timurid Khanate was the biggest rival with China in the territory of the former dynasty. Many people in the Qin gang who were influenced by the Condor and Tianlong went to the northwest one after another to inquire about the movements of the Timurid State and the Yili Khanate, hoping to contribute to the recovery of the Western Regions and the pacification of the strong enemy by the Chinese nation.

Wang Xian is the best of these people, he is good at fighting, but also risked his life for the Ming Dynasty to bring back the important news that "the Timurid Empire is conspiring with Warat in the northwest", so he is also quite famous among the rangers, so he was recruited by Yao Guangxiao to recruit rangers for Yao Guangxiao, so as to seize the authority of Hami.

He is also the guest secretary of the "Qin Gang", and he once called Zhu Fan a brother and sister. Therefore, when I first met Zhu Di, there would be words such as "If you tell me the identity of the leader, I won't be able to surprise you".

"It was just a temptation. The main force of the Warat army has not yet moved, and most of the people sent to attack the city are only old, weak, sick and disabled. "Wang Xian's side, Zhang Yu, who is calmer, looks worried." Thinking that tomorrow, Warat will definitely attack it in a big way. I don't know how long this low city wall of Hami can stop? Don't be careless, don't be careless......"

"How do you know that tomorrow the Warats will attack the city?" Wang Xian was quite unconvinced.

"If you don't attack the city, the sky will be cold." Zhang Yu is extremely natural. "If it drags on any longer, it will be bad for Yuwarat. Naturally, Warat will use all his strength to quickly take Hami City first. After that, either the looting of supplies and the return of the east, or the harsh winter in Hami first, in short, it will not be willing to be cold and starve in the wilderness. ”

"All in all, before the weather is cold, Warat must be attacked."

Wang Xian didn't seem to understand, and when he saw that what Zhang Yu said seemed to be an extremely ordinary thing, he also nodded. After all, he is not a general on the battlefield, and he only knows how to lead soldiers to fight, and when he looks at Zhang Yu, he feels that the generals of the court are really unfathomable.

But it doesn't matter, these generals have their own way of being generals, and these Jianghu people naturally have their own "chivalrous" way.

Zhang Yu didn't have the heart to take into account what Wang Xian thought, he was already worried at this time. To tell the truth, he didn't care if he could defend Hami City, what he was most worried about was Zhu Di's safety.

But Zhu Di has already made up his mind to drag Ye Sudie'er here, and he can't say anything more.

His Royal Highness has a great kindness to himself, and he really can't do anything, but he just fights for his life to ensure that His Highness fights out of the encirclement.

"Zhang Yu, Wang Xian." was thinking about it, but saw Zhu Di in the distance, dressed in armor, walking quickly.

Zhang Yu hurriedly saluted, Wang Xian was a native of the rivers and lakes, and he didn't stick to these subtleties, but Zhu Di was the brother of his leader Zhu Zhang, so he also learned from Zhang Yu quite awkwardly and made a kneeling salute. Zhu Di didn't bother to care about their etiquette for several weeks, but just beckoned them to come closer and said to them:

Wang Xian...... Will you dare to open the gates of the city with this king tomorrow and go out of the city to fight the Great Khan of Nawarat? ”

When Wang Xian heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even his voice was raised a few points. "Dare! How don't you dare! After defending the city for half a month, I was suffocated to death! It's time to get out of the city and kill the son of a bitch who takes advantage of people! ”

"The name of the bird that takes advantage of people?" Zhu Di even had the leisure to say more.

"The name of the bird of the Great Khan of Navarat is not called anything but the name of the father...... Damn, with a father in the name, isn't this taking advantage of others? ”

"I didn't call his bird name into Sister Speed, Sister Speed!" Wang Xian said angrily.

"Then you still want to prostitute this sister?" Zhu Di laughed, the heroic spirit of the Ming Dynasty was extraordinary, and he didn't even pay attention to the invincible Warat Khan, Zhu Di liked it.

Zhang Yu didn't like it, this way of fighting, His Royal Highness King Yan learned a mouthful of vulgar slang, how can there be any royal nobles? was about to persuade him, but he heard Zhu Di turn his head and say to him:

"It's time. Zhang Yu, you will go and select hundreds of dead soldiers of my Han family tonight. ”

"When the city is attacked tomorrow, this king will find a chance for you to break through. When the time comes, you will go to Suzhou Wei and Wei Gong to find reinforcements! ”

Drag Ye Sudieer here, and then transfer a large army to encircle and suppress, which is what they have discussed before.

Zhang Yu's brows furrowed deeply, "Didn't Your Highness want to go out of the city and use your body as bait to find a chance to break through for the last general?" Not. The last general is only willing to be His Highness's guard, and the siege of the city is very strict, how can there be any flaws......"

"Tomorrow will be there." Zhu Di's words seemed very determined, and seeing that Zhang Yu was puzzled, Zhu Di said: "Zhang Yu, do you know what the first lesson about the art of war that Xu Shuai taught me when this king went to Xu Shuai's army?" ”

"What is it?" Zhang Yu is also very curious about the art of war of Xu Da, the world's number one general.

"It's 'the ability to move geometry.'" Zhu Di said.

"Can you convert geometry?" Zhang Yu was puzzled. Wang Xian, who was listening quietly and thinking that maybe he could learn something, also looked like he didn't know what to do.

"The so-called geometry is an allusion in history." Zhu Di smiled, now he seems quite confident in military affairs.

"In the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and Han Xin had a question of 'whether the generals can', Han Xin said, 'each has its own difference', ordinary generals can only 'send thousands', that is, Liu Bang can only 'send 100,000'. And he believes in himself, 'the more the merrier'. ”

"Even Liu Bang is only 'able to take 100,000', and now he is also menacing, leading hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the city. But is it possible for his 'generals' to reach this 'number of 100,000'? Zhu Di said.
