The whole tent suddenly became very quiet.

With the arrival of this military newspaper.

The whole camp was silenced.

How did this Yongle Gong come from Beiping?

Come here, come and teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do things?

Isn't this a slap in the face of the prince?

The prince personally supervised the battle, and did not go down to the city for half a month.

And this Li Xiao said to let the prince wait at the south gate tomorrow and enter the city at the right time??

Even if you are the son-in-law of the crown prince, you shouldn't be so arrogant!

In the past five years, the crown prince has taken control of the government and doubled the tax revenue of the national treasury, such an achievement has overshadowed the kings of history!

And as Li Xiao returned to Beiping and disappeared, everyone gradually forgot about this man of the year

Everyone has forgotten how powerful Li Xiao was back then, and how much he was favored by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.

"Yongle Gong, it's just nonsense."

Staff General Xue Lu snorted and said: "How can a major event in the army be such a child's play, such a delivery of military reports, if the city cannot be opened at the right time, it will be dealt with by military law!" ”

General Chen Heng also frowned and said: "Yongle Gong came uninvited, and he didn't even report to the military department, so he came here from Beiping without authorization. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is better to have a lot of restraints."

General Liu Zhen shook his head: "This Yongle Gong is still too young, he doesn't know the difficulty of the war, if he can easily break the city, I still need to fight here for so long?" ”

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word.

Skepticism about such a ridiculous military situation.

And the veteran Gu Chengdao, who had received Li Xiao's favor:

"Everyone doesn't have to refute it like this, Yongle Gong was named Duke at the age of twenty-two, that is the title of the Holy Lord, since the founding of the country, who can get such an honor, the Holy Lord, if the Yongle Duke has no extraordinary skills, the Holy Lord will give him the title of Duke at will? In my opinion, it is good to wait at the south gate tomorrow. ”

Although he didn't believe that Li Xiao could break the city, he still helped Li Xiao say something.

The implication is that it is the title of the Holy Lord, do you mean, the Holy Vision is not good?

In fact, Li Xiao was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, and most people had the idea of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Especially the generals who stayed in the imperial court.

After Hongwu opened the country, they had no chance of being knighted.

And recently Li Xiao was impeached, and everyone has a kind of schadenfreude.

Xue Lu retorted: "The Holy Lord is clearly decided, and the Duke of Feng Guo naturally has the consideration of the Holy One, but the Duke of Yongle is not a knight by virtue of his military merits, and he does have an extraordinary talent in governance. But in terms of fighting wars . The last general will not agree. ”

After speaking, he arched his hand at Zhu Di and said: "Please send a message to the general quickly, and let Yongle Gong stop using troops quickly, so as not to cause great damage, soldiers are also lives, and they can't be taken to send their lives at will, let them be together with our soldiers and work together to attack the city." ”

In fact, he is also kind, although he doesn't know Li Xiao, but Li Xiao is the son-in-law of His Royal Highness the Prince, so let Li Xiao stop using troops so as not to be too badly injured.

When the time comes, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be punished, or will he not be punished?

General Liu Zhen nodded and said: "The last general agrees with Xue Lu's opinion, Li Xiao rashly used troops this time, whether it is the soldiers of Beiping or the soldiers of the imperial court, they are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it is not easy to raise soldiers, it must be used on the blade, please order the general to recall the Duke of Yongle and General Gao Sui, and the soldiers will be united." ”

Soon several more generals agreed with this opinion.

In fact, they were not aimed at Li Xiao, but judged on the facts and with their combat experience.

Seeing this, Gu Cheng couldn't say anything, and he wasn't sure that Li Xiao would be able to break the city.

There are many mistakes, especially in military operations, if you are not careful, it will be the lives of thousands of soldiers, and no one can joke with the lives of soldiers.

War is indeed damaged, and it is inevitable, and the role of generals is to minimize the damage of soldiers on the premise of victory.

At this time, Zhu Di's face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the contrary, Gu Cheng's son Gu Tong stood up and said: "Everyone said so much, have you forgotten that with the arrival of Yongle Gong, the cottage will be broken in one day, if Yongle Gong has no ability and is not sure, will he boast of such a Haikou?" ”

On this expedition, Zhu Di deliberately brought many generals out to experience and experience, and in the future Northern Expedition, they can be used, so many young generals are also in the camp.

Gu Tong was the first person to open the city gate to Li Xiao back then, and his friendship with Li Xiao was good, although he hadn't seen him for a long time, his friendship was still there.

According to the normal historical line, this Gu Tong would have died in the Jing Disaster a long time ago, but because Li Xiao changed history, many generals survived.

As soon as this statement came out,

The generals whispered.

Liu Zhendao: "The small camp should have been uprooted, what's so strange, Zhu Gaosui is not good for commanding the army, if it were for me, the camp would have been pulled out a long time ago, why wait until now?" It was just a small victory, which made Yongle Gong feel that he could break the city, and arrogance was a taboo for soldiers. ”

Tan Yuan disagreed: "You can't say that, it's been raining a lot recently, and the walled city is standing halfway up the mountain, so it's even more difficult to carry the cannon, and it can't be said that the emperor's grandson Zhu Gaosui is unfavorable for commanding the army, it is indeed a little difficult." ”

Liu Zhen snorted: "This is not a reason, can't you fight without artillery, it's just a small camp." ”

Gu Tong retorted: "Then how do you explain that Zhu Gaosui couldn't attack for a long time, and Yongle Gong immediately broke the enemy as soon as he came?" ”

Liu Zhen said: "It's just a fluke, it must have been a few days before the cannon was lifted up, and Yongle Gong came at the right time, just to break through the camp and attack it." ”

"You" Gu Tong was speechless.

Liu Zhen said with a smile: "You are still young, don't express your opinions in everything, learn more from your father, if it weren't for the general who specially cultivated you little radish heads, you wouldn't be able to enter this camp." ”

When the words fell, the generals laughed.

Gu Tong's face was red, and he was speechless.

Tan Yuan said: "There is a saying, there is no elder or younger, and the master is the first." Li Xiao, Duke of Yongle, was made a duke by His Majesty at the age of twenty-two, what about you?? Now he is only seven out of twenty, does his young age affect him to be crowned? ”

The voice fell.

All the people were red-faced, ashamed.

Okay, you Tan Yuan, you are really good at talking, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!

Hearing this, Zhu Di wanted to laugh when he saw the deflated appearance of the generals, but he still held it back, and just crooked the corners of his mouth.

In fact, he hadn't seen Li Xiao for so many years, and when he heard that Li Xiao was here, he also missed it a little.

At the same time, he pondered in his heart, it seemed that Li Xiao had never said big words.

"Okay, don't argue anymore, just ask."

Zhu Di spoke, and everyone instantly fell silent.

After speaking, Zhu Di looked at the scout and said, "Today, how to break the village quickly." ”

The scout arched his hand and said: "General Hui, it was Yongle Gong who held a small cannon in his hand, fired a cannon, directly smashed the camp, and then attacked the camp, although the camp is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also a pocket, and there is nowhere to escape." When you enter, you will catch turtles in the urn, and you will exterminate all the pirates in one day. ”

The voice fell.

Zhu Di stood up abruptly and said in surprise: "What??" ”

All the generals stood up suddenly, their eyes wide in disbelief.

The second half of the sentence is negligible, but the first one.

fired a cannon and directly smashed the camp.

What kind of cannon is this, so powerful???

Others don't know.

But Zhu Di knows!

Li Xiao has fireworks technology, he can develop firearms!

However, what Zhu Di didn't expect was that he thought that the Holy Lord would let him reform, so he wouldn't have much time to develop firearms.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao has not been idle all these years, and the research and development of firearms has not been left behind!

His whole body was shocked and his scalp was numb!

Zhu Di said loudly: "Come on, the appearance, scale, and weight of this cannon!" ”

In his mind, the cannon was so powerful that it must have been heavy.

The other generals also stared at the scout with round eyes.

Where has this scout seen such a scene, stared at by the prince, stared at by a group of generals, the whole person is panicked and distracted.

"Tell me quickly, you're going to die in a hurry." Gu Cheng urged.

"It's a small cannon, not a cannon."

The scout touched the sweat on his forehead, then compared it with his hand, and explained: "It's so big, so long, and so heavy, my subordinates will pick it up with one hand and carry it on their shoulders." ”

The voice fell.

The crowd was stunned again.

What the hell is this?

Pick it up in one hand and carry it on your shoulder??

Staff General Xue Lu glared and said: "You are not wrong, do you see clearly with your eyes, there is no joke in the army, if you talk nonsense, cut off your head!" ”

The scout soldier was startled, recalled the scene again, and nodded: "The subordinates are not mistaken, not only the subordinates, but the whole army has seen it." ”

said, and gestured again, "It's such a big cannon, the ammunition fired out is straight and straight, and it is still smoking, and a shell directly bombs the camp." ”

The voice fell.

The whole camp was terrible, and the needle drop could be heard.

Hiss!!!

The generals of the entire camp gasped.

A cannonball carried on the shoulder can have such a huge power with a single shot!!

If it is true, isn't the Ming army invincible?

"Good! All right!! Hahaha!! ”

Others still didn't believe it, but Zhu Di was the first to believe it.

He was almost killed by a tiger back then, but Li Xiao saved him with that small and delicate firearm, and he played with it at that time.

Unexpectedly, five years later, even the cannon has become so small and exquisite.

After that, there was no need to transport heavy artillery.

Expand your territory!

"Lonely's good son-in-law, Lone has this good son-in-law, if God helps!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed, and his love was beyond words.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, this good son-in-law."

The generals complimented each other, and at the same time their hearts were shocked.

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed slightly, slapped the table, and ordered:

"All the soldiers listen to the order, make food tomorrow, pull out the camp at the hour, and the whole army will be on standby at the south city gate, and the whole army will enter the city as soon as the city gate is opened!"

The generals arched their hands: "Mark the order!" ”

Cixi City at this time.

It's in dire straits.

In fact, a large part of the reason why the Japanese have been able to grow to such an extent is that they are inseparable from Zhu Yuanzhang.

In normal history, the scale of Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu period until Zhu Di's period became larger and larger, and there are three main reasons behind it.

First, because North Korea promised to help the Japanese invaders digest the people, goods, such as silk and all kinds of things they had plundered from China, the Japanese began to turn from a matter of survival to a matter of commerce, and North Korea sold the stolen goods for them.

Second: Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't seem to know the role of North Korea in it, and Zhu Di only learned about it from North Koreans in his later years.

Third: that is, the cost was too much, the treasury could not support it, and from the seventh year of Hongwu, the exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and the two regimes of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan began to become frequent.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally figured out what was going on in the situation in the Japanese Kingdom.

He was still polite to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but he only asked for the governance of the country to protect the territory and the people, and the strategy for the Japanese was still defense-oriented.

These three reasons led to the increasing power of the Japanese invaders, and it was not until the ninth year of Yongle that Zhu Di found that the Japanese were already too large, so he set out to clean up the Japanese invaders.

However, this problem, after Li Xiao occupied some of the power of the Wa State, appeared in Hongwu thirty years in advance.

And Cixi City, the reason why the city was broken was all because of the existence of traitors.

That's right, it's not just the Japanese who are the Japanese who are on the sea, in fact, the most powerful Japanese are the Chinese.

Chen Youliang defeated Zhu Yuanzhang that year, and Chen Youliang was the best at sailors, and there were a large number of sailor generals and craftsmen with superb shipbuilding skills under his command.

Some of them were incorporated by Zhu Yuanzhang, which strengthened the power of the Ming Dynasty sailors.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay too much attention to it, and it wasn't until the Yongle period, a few years after Zhu Di ascended the throne, that he began to build a real Daming water master.

Until the thirteenth year of Yongle, the largest fleet in the world was formed at that time, and from this point of view, Zhu Di had to see farther than Zhu Yuanzhang.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty sailors at that time were the most powerful fleets in the entire human history, and Zheng He would make all nations come to the court and serve the four seas whenever he went to the West, spreading the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty at home and abroad.

And the other half of Chen Youliang's subordinates, who were not incorporated by Zhu Yuanzhang into craftsmen and sailor generals, went overseas to become widows.

Although it did not form a huge gang of Japanese pirates of the scale of Wang Zhi in later generations.

But the influence is still not small!

It was these Chinese widows who designed to take Cixi City.

In a sense, many of the pirates are vassals of this group of people, and I don't know if they are considered pirates, but it is more appropriate to say that they are pirates.

They can speak Chinese, understand stratagems, and know the truth that there is great strength in numbers, and as early as the sea, they gathered a large number of Japanese robbers to discuss strategies.

first arranged a group of Han people, bribed merchants with money to help them forge their identities, and then secretly entered Cixi City, they were Han people speaking Chinese, and it was not difficult to get in.

Then the big ship landed at the sea, and the army pressed in, and without waiting for the defenders of Cixi City to react, the inside and outside should be combined, and the defenders were instantly controlled with lightning speed.

Then he took control of the entire county seat, and immediately closed the city, sending people to loot the food hoarded by the guards and the surrounding villages for the continuous war.

The one who planned all this was the leader of this group of pirates called Zhang Haiyang.

Although the name is inconspicuous, his father's name is more famous.

His father's name is Zhang Dingbian, who used to be a fierce general under the hero Chen Youliang, and in the battle of Poyang Lake that year, he almost killed Zhu Yuanzhang alone with a boat.

After Chen Youliang was defeated, Zhang Haiyang followed his uncle to the sea as a widow.

After his uncle's death, he began to exert his ability, and he was overbearing on the sea, and many of the Japanese were subdued by him, and they followed behind to eat, and they were a relatively large force among the Japanese invaders.

After occupying Cixi City this time, Zhang Haiyang had a trace of ambition.

He knew that he could not hold on to a city.

Sooner or later, there will be a day when it will be eaten by the Ming army.

Now that we've come this far, we can only fight all the way.

Hit the city of Nanjing!

Recover Chen Han and overthrow the Ming Dynasty!

Uprising!

Throughout the Hongwu period, there were not many uprisings, large and small.

And Zhang Haiyang also moved this thought, and he found that it was really possible.

This is the reason why there are constant uprisings in feudal society, even in the Ming Dynasty.

Because land is the foundation of productive forces, and land is inevitably concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, although it is not serious in the Hongwu period, it still exists.

It is only necessary to incite the poor, the tenants who have no land above and below, the tenants who have no land and no land, and those slaves, and it can be done!!

So, after entering the city, Zhang Haiyang stopped the slaughter of the city.

But in ancient times, he worked hard to pin his head to the waistband of his trousers, and did not let the slaughter of the city revel, and even he could not manage the robbers under him.

So taking a step back, he allowed the looting of the rich neighborhoods.

The Japanese began to rob the rich area of money and grain, giving money and food to live, but once they refused, they would be killed directly, so not many people died in this Cixi city.

As for the slums, Zhang Haiyang has a different attitude, using the slogan of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and giving food for heaven.

That's right, no matter whether the rebellion is successful or not, almost every rebel army probably started with this banner.

For example, the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious.

Another example is that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning.

Or I am sick and the rich are not equal, and now you are even.

Another example is the slogan of Li Zicheng later: Open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay for food when he comes.

In short, although it is not the poor who ultimately benefit.

But these slogans are aimed at the poor.

It's easy to get on the head.

Those poor people who were not happy with their lives were not satisfied, and when they saw that they had food and drink, they joined in.

After some operations, Zhang Haiyang really recruited a lot of people to join the army.

In addition to the tenants, there were also many domestic slaves from large families who saw that the city was in chaos, so they ran away one after another and joined Zhang Haiyang's army.

The original 30,000 Japanese invaders have now added 10,000 new forces at once.

This made Zhang Haiyang a little inflated, and he felt why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to expand the team and win the world with more than a dozen people.

made him also have this illusion, since Zhu Yuanzhang can do it, why can't I?

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning??

However, even so, the people of this city did not have a good time.

Before dawn, the pirates began to sweep the streets again with their katanas.

Each team of the Japanese invaders divided the area to loot money and grain, just like the Chu River and Han realms, they were not allowed to cross the border to loot, and at night they would compete with each other, who had more money.

And the widows who loot little money will vent their anger on the people the next day.

After more than ten days of looting, there are not many things that can be scavenged out every day.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Several ronins in samurai costumes knocked on the door and shouted, "Open the door, don't open the door, kill them all, and leave no one behind!" ”

Every time there was a knock on the door, the sound would make the people inside tremble, but they did not dare to disobey or they would be killed.

Before, many large families relied on the family to raise dozens of family members, and resisted when they looted, and the end was very miserable, the whole family was slaughtered, the old and the young were killed, and the women were also killed after being bullied.

Now as long as there is a knock on the door, no one dares not to open the door.

With a creak, the door opened.

This is the courtyard of the second entrance of the family, and what came out was a forty-year-old middle-aged man, who originally had some property in this house, but now it has been robbed.

"Uncle, okay, there is no money left at home"

The man fell to his knees and pleaded, hoping that the gang would spare them.

A Han Chinese widow said: "Today's last time, I paid the money to live." ”

In order to make the raid smooth, the Japanese will take the initiative to invite the Han Japanese to join the team and let him share more money.

"Get out of here!"

With a bang, the door was kicked open by a Han man, who scolded in Chinese: "No money? If you find it today, you're dead! ”

Immediately after that, the group of pirates broke into the house and searched unscrupulously.

No matter how hard this middle-aged man begged for mercy, it was to no avail.

"Baga, this thief must still have money."

"Is there a flower girl, if you don't have money, you can do it."

"Yo Xi, the flower girl has found it, hahaha"

These ronins wore clogs and trampled on the ground, swearing and swearing as they searched the world.

Suddenly, a ronin found a girl in a rice bowl and couldn't help laughing.

"Please, spare the little girl, please!"

The middle-aged man's face changed, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

A few days ago, they gave money every day, so they didn't have to suffer hardship, but I didn't expect them to break in like this today

Early in the morning, he asked all the ladies in the family to hide, some behind the latrine, some under the bed, and some on the house

Unexpectedly, the second daughter hiding in the rice jar was found.

"Father."

The young girl is only twenty-eight years old to be married, she has clear eyebrows, well-behaved and sensible, where has she ever seen such a scene, she is so frightened that she trembles and does not know what to do.

"Yoxi, it's so soft"

"The women in Jiangnan are just good-looking."

"It's comfortable."

Seven or eight of the ronin's hands had already reached in and touched them, and the girl's eyes were swirling with tears, and she kept struggling, but she was the opponent of this group of strong ronins.

"Please, let the little girl go, I'll kowtow to you!"

The middle-aged man's head thumped, and blood stains oozed from his forehead.

His wretches were unmoved.

The Han people smiled and said: "Take out the money, everything is easy to say, without money, I can't control these people." ”

"Father, help me."

The girl could only look at the middle-aged man for help, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"I give, I give!! Let me go my daughter! ”

The middle-aged man was so grief-stricken that he rushed into the kitchen, removed the rice jar, took out a hoe to dig up the soil, revealing the package inside, took out the cloth bag and handed it over.

When the widow opened the cloth bag, he saw that there were seven or eight taels of gold and fifty or sixty taels of silver.

He immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at the few ronins who were up and down: "Give the money, let this one go." ”

A ronin: "Let's make grandpa happy first"

"Presumptuous!"

The Han man shouted: "His Royal Highness Zhang said that if you give money and food, you will not kill, do you want to disobey His Highness's military orders!" ”

In fact, how could the Han Japanese have such a good heart, he used to be a murderer, and he escaped as a Japanese criminal.

He thinks that this method can still squeeze out oil and water.

If you give money and food and do this, you won't be able to squeeze it next time.

After all, these people are very good at hiding money and grain, and they can't find it at all.

"Yo Xi, then listen to His Highness and let her go."

A ronin scratched his crotch and screamed at the girl, scaring her into disarray, before walking away.

"Let's go, let's go to the next one, this method is really easy to use."

The would-be robbers laughed, strode away with their knives, and walked towards the next house.

After the widow left, the middle-aged man's eyes were red and he immediately rushed over, gently closed the door, and closed the bolt.

Then he returned to the kitchen, helped his disheveled daughter up, and choked up, "I'm sorry, Dad didn't protect you." ”

"Woo woo"

The girl couldn't stop crying, and she already had the idea of committing suicide.

At this time, other female relatives of the family also came out.

Everyone sat together and hugged their heads and cried.

The middle-aged woman cried: "In charge, now that the last money of our family has been given, how will we live in the future." ”

"I'll talk about the future later, how can I bear to watch my daughter suffer such a big humiliation." The middle-aged man choked up and said, "Why didn't anyone clean up these gang of people who killed a thousand knives." ”

The middle-aged woman choked up and said, "Hey, if they come to loot again tomorrow, what will we give them?"

As soon as this statement came out.

The whole family fell silent.

The last money was given today, and what will be given tomorrow.

It's not a matter of money, the family doesn't even have food, only a small mouthful of wheat, and in a few days, I'm afraid they will starve to death.

Then

Heart-rending shouts came from the yard next door.

"There's really no money, there's really no money, it's all given to you yesterday, let us go." A man shouted at the top of his voice.

The middle-aged man could hear that it was the voice of the head of the Zhang family next door.

Immediately afterward, there was a scream of the woman being abused by several people.

I think the family handed over all the money yesterday, and they really have no money.

"I'm fighting with you!!"

There was a shout from the head of the Zhang family next door, and soon, the sound disappeared.

Even if you close your eyes, you can think about what happened.

Immediately afterward, in the courtyard next door, only the woman's cry of pain could be heard, and after half a quarter of an hour, the sound was absent until it disappeared.

Immediately afterward, I heard the sound of the Japanese robber rushing out of the door, and went to the next house.

"Brute, brute."

This middle-aged man clenched his fists, his nails embedded in the flesh, and the unmarried youngest daughter of the Zhang family next door was only thirteen years old

"It's over, it's over" The middle-aged woman closed her eyes and cried, "Our family has no money, tomorrow. I'm afraid it's the end of the Zhang family."

There is a kind of despair, the desperation of waiting to die.

They don't dare to escape from this room, and they die faster when they go out.

Because staying in the house was only looted by a wave of pirates.

If you go out and run around, there will be robbers everywhere, and whoever catches them will be their prey, and the whole city will fall, so where can you escape?

The outside army is attacking the city, and even if it is breached, I am afraid that they may not live to that day.

"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless come and save us"

The middle-aged woman kept praying to the sky.

"Mother, don't be afraid, there will be a big hero to save us."

The seven-year-old daughter showed her tiger teeth and said: "There is a hero named Guo Jing, who will definitely come to help when he sees our side suffering, and he will descend to kill these villains with eighteen palms." ”

The middle-aged woman asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”

Seven-year-old daughter said: "It was written in the newspaper"

After listening, the middle-aged man sighed deeply and said with a wry smile: "That's all fake, it's made up"

The youngest daughter said, "Really, it's all true, he will definitely come." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, thinking about how to spend tomorrow.

At this moment, there was the sound of gongs being struck outside.

There are Japanese dialects and Chinese dialects shouting outside: "General Zhang has an order, everyone quickly return to the city wall to meet the enemy, everyone quickly return to the city wall to meet the enemy!" Make no mistake! ”

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pricked up his ears to listen, and soon he heard the sound of countless widows leaving and moving.

"Isn't it?"

The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he muttered, "Is there really someone who came to the rescue?"

All along, the Japanese were half defending the city and half looting.

Originally, half of the Japanese were still looting the whole city.

Suddenly, Zhang Haiyang ordered all the Japanese to defend the city.

The reason is that the news of the fall of the cottage reached Zhang Haiyang's ears, and Zhang Haiyang felt that something was wrong and had to be taken seriously.

On the city wall, soldiers are carrying bricks, stones, and wood to the city wall, all of which have been demolished and brought up from houses close to the city wall.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Wenzheng defended Hongdu City for 100 days, using this method.

Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought that year.

If it weren't for Zhu Wenzheng defending Hongdu City, this outcome would be really unpredictable.

As Zhang Dingyuan's son, he has heard such a story I don't know how many times, and now he immediately uses it, not to mention that it is quite easy to use.

When the Ming army attacked the city, these bricks and stones were smashed down, and as soon as they were smashed down, they were a piece, and the effect was very significant.

"General Zhang, why are you so excited?"

A small leader of the Japanese was a little dissatisfied, he had just taken his turn to loot today, and he was called to the city wall.

Zhang Haiyang's face turned cold and he did not speak.

"Shut up, call Your Highness!"

Li Tianer, the general next to Zhang Haiyang, scolded: "Your Highness has been named the King of Dayang, pay attention to your attitude, and use the honorific title when you see Your Highness!" ”

Since he decided to revolt and rebel, Zhang Haiyang has already begun to build momentum and proclaimed himself king.

The army must have the appearance of a troop, and there must be a clear distinction between the upper and lower classes, and they must not be robbers and unorderly as before.

"Your Highness."

The little leader of the Japanese had no choice but to change his words and said: "Your Highness, why do you suddenly let us defend the city, didn't the Ming army attack the city the day before yesterday, why don't you have to rest for a few days." ”

"The cottage in Dalong Mountain has been uprooted, you have to be careful, the Ming army may have a big move today." Zhang Haiyang said.

"That group of wastes in Dalongshan is broken?" The Japanese Kou said angrily: "We still have a large number of firearms and gunpowder with them, damn it, haven't they been captured by the Ming army." ”

Li Tianer snorted and said: "Don't talk nonsense, listen to His Highness's orders, and keep you safe, we can not only occupy this city, but then we will go and occupy a city, until we reach Nanjing and capture the country!" ”

This Li Tianer must have been brainwashed by Zhang Haiyang, and he is convinced of such an ideal.

In particular, the recent summoning of 10,000 new troops has strengthened his conviction that this plan is feasible.

And the widow was full of confusion, is this Zhang Haiyang dreaming, is this particularly possible, isn't it a happy day by day?

But he still didn't say anything. After all, Zhang Haiyang has the most power.

At this time, Zhang Haiyang, who was standing at the south city gate, pointed into the distance and said: "Look, the Ming army really has a big move!" ”

In the distance, it was Zhu Di's assembled army, and 60,000 troops were approaching this side.

"Good, great! Sure enough, I guessed it! ”

Zhang Haiyang said with a smile: "This Zhu Di is just like this, he has launched all the troops, today they are going to desperately attack the city, today we will destroy them all, we can completely suppress the morale of the Ming army, and then continue to attack to the west." ”

"Yo Xi!!"

The eyes of the little leader of the Japanese Kou lit up: "Your Highness is really clever, and he also made preparations in advance and defeated the crown prince Zhu Di, which is a great suppression of the Ming State." ”

It's not just this little leader.

I saw that Zhu Di's whole army was coming towards the city wall in black.

The other pirate leaders saw this scene and shouted.

They have long been tired of Zhu Di's intrusion from time to time, and they are tired of it.

They found that the artillery on the ship was dismantled and transported to the city wall to defend the city, which was twice the result with half the effort, but it was too easy to use.

If they can defeat this annoying Zhu Di, they can leave the city, and according to what the King of Dayang said, maybe they can really attack Nanjing

Everyone is gearing up to do a big job.

Zhu Di's army kept advancing, and suddenly stopped three miles outside the city wall.

The position where it stopped, just outside the range of the artillery.

"Hey, why did the Ming Army stop suddenly?"

"That's right, the Ming army is mobilizing, why don't you attack us?"

"Is there some conspiracy?"

The pirates became very surprised and pointed to the army below.

"Your Highness, what does this Zhu Di mean?"

The subordinate general next to Zhang Haiyang, Li Tianer said suspiciously.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait and see, we are fully prepared, not afraid of him Zhu Di."

Zhang Haiyang didn't know what the situation was, and frowned and looked at Zhu Di who was riding on a horse in the distance.

In this way, Zhu Di did not move, just staring at Zhang Haiyang on the city wall, showing a sneer from time to time.

This made Zhang Haiyang panic.

If Zhu Di attacked the city directly, he didn't feel afraid.

But Zhu Di looked at him with such strange eyes, which made him shudder a little and feel furious in his heart.

"I heard that Zhu Di is like a god with soldiers, is there a conspiracy?"

Zhang Haiyang thought in his heart, and kept thinking about what Zhu Di was going to do.

He definitely didn't expect that Zhu Di was waiting for the city gate to open.

So, Zhang Haiyang ordered a few cavalrymen to gallop on horseback on the city wall to see the situation of the north city wall, the west city wall, and the south city wall.

After a short time, several scouts came back and reported: "There are no Ming troops outside the other city walls. ”

Zhang Haiyang nodded, feeling even more strange in his heart.

What is Zhu Di going to do?

He knew that Zhu Di was in a hurry to go on this expedition, and the whole army was only 50,000 people, and the local guard post only gathered 70,000 people, so it was impossible to attack the city in an all-round way.

"So Zhu Di wants to scare me and let me divide my troops to other city walls and reduce the defenders of this city wall."

Zhang Haiyang thought about it and finally came up with such an idea.

So, he said to his henchman Li Tianer next to him, and said, "Do you think Zhu Di is bluffing me and asking me to divide my troops elsewhere?" ”

Generally speaking

When the generals can't come up with ideas, it's time for the military division to give advice.

And the pirates are a bandit industry, where are the talents in this area?

This Li Tianer is obviously also a dog-headed military advisor, his eyes lit up, and he said:

"What His Royal Highness said is very true, this Zhu Di has been staring at us, I'm afraid he just wants to scare us, let us think that there are strange soldiers on the other city walls, divide the troops elsewhere, disperse the defenders of the south city gate, and then take the opportunity to take it in one fell swoop."

"Makes sense. Could it be that the king is right?"

Zhang Haiyang touched his mustache, squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally felt that the first feeling should be the most accurate.

"Absolutely, this Zhu Di is bluffing the king!"

Zhang Haiyang snorted and said: "But he didn't expect that after this king is Zhang Dingbian, how can he be compared to ordinary widows, he will never be able to bluff this king, and the truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit, this king still understands!" ”

Obviously, this Zhang Haiyang has a bit of a brain, but not much.

He made another bad decision.

Zhang Haiyang thought about it: "Since Zhu Di has this idea, this king will do the opposite and see how he responds!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Tianer and said, "Tianer, you go to the other three city walls, send half of the defenders to this southern city wall, and see if this Zhu Di attacks or not!" ”

Li Tianer arched his hand: "Your Highness is wise, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away!" The subordinates will arrange it! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Tianer went to dispatch troops.

After a while, the other three walls of the Japanese began to come towards the southern wall

Zhang Haiyang snorted, looked at Zhu Di in the distance, and showed a disdainful smile.

Little Zhu Di, you deserve to play scheming with me?

The other side.

Under the city wall, Zhu Di was waiting patiently, and from time to time he glanced at Zhang Haiyang above, who was looking for which one was the leader.

Sure enough, he found it.

On the city wall, there was a person wearing a black dragon robe, constantly giving orders.

"Is this going to be king?"

Zhu Di was a little confused, why did this widow have the idea of becoming the king?

Dare to be king in Daming?

It's not going to kill you!

"Huh? What is this Zhang Haiyang thinking? How did it increase the number of troops. ”

"Isn't he afraid that the king will attack the gates of the city at the other gates?"

"And. With such a narrow city wall, it is useless to transfer so many people to fart, but it can't be used. ”

Soon, Zhu Di was a little surprised by the behavior of the widows above.

On the narrow walls, there were more and more crowded soldiers.

Apparently, the soldiers on the other walls were also redeployed.

Zhu Di would never have imagined that he just looked up at Zhang Haiyang on the city wall a few times, which made Zhang Haiyang jealous, and made up a lot of strategies in his brain.

In fact, Zhu Di was just waiting for Li Xiao

"General!"

Gu Cheng pointed to the city wall and said with a smile: "The general didn't do anything, just looked at it a few times, this Haiyang seems to have been frightened, and the soldiers from the other city gates have been transferred." ”

Zhu Di said: "If it weren't for this person taking advantage of the city, and he didn't prepare siege equipment this time, this king would have eliminated him a long time ago." ”

Liu Zhen rode a horse to Zhu Di's side, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, do you want to continue to wait?" Do you want the last general to secretly go to Yongle Gong and General Zhu Gaosui and teach them to attack the city, the other city gates are weak in defense at the moment, and it is a good time to attack the city. ”

In his opinion, neither Zhu Gaosui nor Li Xiao had ever fought, and it was better to let him command without experience in attacking cities, and by the way, he would like to earn some military merits

Hearing this, Gu Cheng said sarcastically: "Why, yesterday you spoke out against Yongle Gong attacking the city alone, and today you changed your mind?" Don't you want to take a share of the credit? ”

"You" Liu Zhen's face turned pale, and he quibbled: "There is no such thing, it's just worrying, the last general has been attacking the city for many years, and he has quite experience."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense."

Zhu Di waved his hand to interrupt, "Just wait patiently, I believe in my son-in-law." This time, the city gates have reduced the defenders, and it is easier for him to attack the city, if it is not possible, it is not too late to rush to help, in short, today, we must take Cixi City in one fell swoop, and we must not let the people inside suffer. ”

"Yes."

Liu Zhen had no choice but to give up.

Time ticks by.

At the beginning of the hour,

The east side of Cixi City on the other side.

Li Xiao's army finally made a move.

"Strange, how did they divide their forces?"

Zhu Gaoxu, who discovered the situation from afar, was surprised: "Wouldn't this be faster to die?" ”

Li Xiao laughed and said: "There are more soldiers and fewer soldiers, is there a difference?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui silently gave Li Xiao a thumbs up.

This beep is speechless, this beep should be pretended.

Li Xiao brought himself and Zhu Gaosui's mistakes, a total of 11,000 soldiers and horses to the city.

"Let's go, it's time for me to play."

After the words fell, Li Xiao jumped off the horse and walked out, took out the RPG, and resisted on his shoulder.

Aimed at the city gate, he pulled the trigger.

"Art is an explosion"
