Chapter 635: Defending the City
By the next day, the army outside the city really had a change, a large number of Warat army outside the city lined up and waited, the flag covered the sky, the felt hunting, and the nine white silk of the fast Dieer stood behind, and it exuded the spirit of slaughter.
In the city, Zhu Di scolded Fang Xuan: "Heh, I really can't hold my breath, and I'm ready to fight against the water." ”
Since yesterday had expected that Sudie'er would attack the city on a large scale today, the Hami army and the Yan soldiers in the city did not have too much shock, but their faces were solemn, and they silently clenched the bows and arrows in their hands. The calmness of the soldiers made the city standing on the Gobi look like a mountain, but the morale of the Mongolian army outside the city had declined slightly.
The hearts of the upper and lower armies in the city are available, except for the mighty king Urna.
"National teacher, the king sent me to ask, can you really hold Hami City?" A eunuch ran to ask Yao Guangxiao in a hurry, and caught a glimpse of the forest-like Wara army under the city, the eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly turned his head away and didn't dare to look at it again. However, this glance has made his tone cry: "The king said, if you can't do anything, it's better to drop it directly, it's better than to be angry and ......sweat quickly."
"Don't worry, the poor monk will be able to keep Hami for the king." Yao Guangxiao looked a little helpless, the fat pig-like mighty king was too cowardly, as long as the momentum outside the city was together, he repeatedly sent people to ask if he could hold it...... But I didn't know that if he did this, it would only reduce the morale of the soldiers defending the city. Zhu Di couldn't see it, so he came over and asked the eunuch, "Surrender and quickly die'er?" Does Hami want to cut himself off from me? After the fall, even if the U Na lost his life for a while, can he still spare him when the soldiers arrive tomorrow? ”
"If the Unashi makes up his mind to be the enemy of my Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to attack the city quickly, this king can make the priests turn around and rob the palace of the Unashi first! It's better than him using all this treasure to make enemies! ”
Zhu Di was angry, and the eunuch was submissive. Although Warat has already approached the city, but the Ming Dynasty is in full swing at this time, and it is not easy to mess with both sides, and Hami is sandwiched in the middle, which is really a dilemma.
"Tell the king, don't worry, the poor monk will be able to keep Hami for the king. When the time comes, the army will retreat, and the king can ask the Ming Dynasty to be crowned the king of Hami......" Yao Guangxiao said again.
The eunuch was in a cold sweat, so he could only nod. If it can be as the national teacher said, it is indeed the best.
After the eunuch left, Zhu Di glanced at his back coldly, and said to Yao Guangxiao: "This mighty king is not strong-willed, and he will be in trouble for a long time." ”
Yao Guangxiao's face was also a little cold, and he responded: "It really needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the army's will be shaken...... But now that the siege is imminent, it's better to take care of the present. ”
Zhu Di nodded, and saw that the Warat army under the city had gathered three infantry phalanxes, so he concentrated his energy on the Warat siege army. These Warat people were holding improvised ladders, and there were people in the back of the Soil Mountain, and Zhu Di even saw that some Mongols were clumsily erecting return cannons.
"It's also very heartfelt to break the city." Yao Guangxiao also saw this, and twisted his beard and said: "This is to use all the siege methods that can be used." ”
Zhu Di nodded, and continued to observe the movements of the Warat army with a lookout on the city tower. He saw that a tall lookout car had begun to be rolled out in the Warat army, and then several fur-clad figures walked up. Knowing that this must be a quick die'er, he is ready to climb the heights, and soon the Warats will be killed.
Sure enough, not long after the figure ascended to the top of the lookout car, the horn of the siege sounded in the Warat army. The three Varat phalanxes poured towards the city wall like a tidal wave.
Zhu Di stood still on the city tower, just using his lookout to constantly watch the movements of the army of Yesudieer and Warat. On the city wall, Abduqin looked back at Zhu Di's standing figure, and then at the Mongol warriors under his command, and clenched the bow in his hand.
The Mongols mostly used bows and arrows, and even if they dismounted their horses for the siege of the city, the skill of archery was not lost. Under the cover of the leather shields in their hands, they shot arrows at the city wall to suppress them, and at the same time they quickly stepped forward and set up the ladder on the city wall. Wang Xian was organizing this section of the city defense, he wandered around, and had led people to push down a full five ladders, but this time there were too many Warats attacking the city, and there were still ladders being erected on the city wall, and then there were Mongols with knives in their hands, climbing to the city wall.
"Brothers, put the Warat dog back...... Fight up and kill the captives! Wang Xian chanted more than once.
Abdul Chin was originally responsible for the release of arrows with the Mongols, but now the city walls are full of breaches piled up by the Warats with human lives, and it is useless to throw bows and arrows from a distance. He simply threw away the curved bow in his hand and pulled out the big knife at his waist: "Mongol warriors, follow me to kill his mother's Wara dog!" ”
Most of the herdsmen under his command were collected by Zhu Di from various tribes, many of whom were originally Warat people, and it was okay to let them shoot arrows in the back, and they were a little hesitant to come forward and fight with their compatriots. Seeing this, Abduqin couldn't help jumping to his feet and said, "You fools! Cow! Have you forgotten the leisurely grazing and comfortable life on the grasslands? ”
"Yes, the bandit hijacked the cattle and sheep of the tribe for his own ambitions, and coerced the herdsmen to fight for him."
"It was the Ming Dynasty that inherited the unification of Genghis Khan! It's not the Great Khan of Warat! Sudieer is a robber! As long as he is alive, there will always be war and separation on the steppe. ”
"Do you really think that if you attack the city, you will let us go? He will only rob us of our belongings again, and then force us to fight the Ming to our deaths! ”
His words made many Mongolian captives sober up. They have all experienced the way of Warat. And the strength of the Ming Dynasty, they also have a personal experience in the march along the way. King Yan only has a Ming army of 1,000 people, but the Ming army is more than a million...... If you want to fight with the Ming Dynasty who once destroyed the Great Yuan, what is this not death?
For the sake of their own goods, for their own lives, no matter what, they can only defeat those Warat compatriots!
The Mongol troops, led by Abduchin, finally slaughtered the Warats on the city wall.
"This person has quite a mind and is available." Yao Guangxiao silently watched Aduqin's actions on the city tower and said to Zhu Di.
"Hmm." Zhu Di nodded.
Relying on Aduqin to lead the Mongol army to the top, the pressure on Wang Xian suddenly lightened, but although most of the Warats on the city tower had been killed, the other Warats were still pouring upwards. Wang Xianzheng was anxious, but he heard a piercing scream in his ears, and turned his head to look, only to see a huge fireball flying towards the position of the city wall.
"Return to the cannon! Be careful! "The king is dead!
