However, although Li Jinglong retreated, there were still 200,000 troops in the forward, and the situation in Beiping City was still not optimistic.

The horn sounded, and the 200,000 troops rushed to Beiping City like a tide, and in addition to the south gate, the east gate and the west gate were also attacked by the imperial army.

And the reason why there is no subordinate army at the north gate to attack the city, in fact, this is deliberately arranged by Li Jinglong, the siege must be que, and a gap must be left in Beiping City, if Zhu Di is really unable to resist inside, he has to leave a way for others to run.

This is not Li Jinglong deliberately releasing water to Zhu Di, it is really because the high walls of Beiping City are thick, as the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the repair of the city wall itself is much more careful than the general city, not to mention that after the Northern Expedition of King Zhongshan, he captured Beiping City and made some improvements in Beiping City.

This is not counting, after Zhu Di fell into the domain, he strengthened Beiping City, after the three masters of Yuan Ting, Zhongshan King and Yan Wang, now Beiping City can be described as a strong turtle shell, this Beiping is really called the first strong city of the Ming Dynasty.

If all the imperial army is pushed up, the result must be that the imperial army can capture Beiping City, but since ancient times, the consumption of this siege and defending the city is not at all compared.

It is difficult to attack the city and defend the city, let alone a city like Beiping, even if the 600,000 troops are all up, how many soldiers and horses can be left in the court in the end?

Two hundred thousand? Lakh? Fifty thousand?

Therefore, what Li Jinglong has to do is that the siege must be fierce, and he must constantly impact the psychological defense line of the northern army, and when the northern army feels that it is really impossible to hold it, then the psychological warfare will be completed.

They will inevitably find a way to abandon Beiping City, and then flee from the North Gate, because there is their only remaining glimmer of life, as long as they leave Beiping City, the soldiers and horses arranged on the east and west sides of the North Gate of Beiping can come in handy, and they can take advantage of the attack.

Even if the guards of Juyong Pass are King Yan's own people, so what? didn't wait for you to get to Juyong Pass, I killed you all along the way, and from this point of view, Li Jinglong still has something.

And King Yan's response to Li Jinglong's actions is naturally there, and the defensive strength arranged by the north gate is definitely no less than that of the other three.

And Zhu Di has already ordered people to spread the word throughout the army, and the court at the north gate has already set up ambushes, the north gate is more dangerous than the southeast and west, as long as you go out, it is a death, so you have to resist to the death, the only thing you can rely on is that the hundreds of thousands of troops led by King Han are struggling to come from outside the pass.

In this way, the soldiers have always thought that they still have a back road, that is, the back road of the north gate has also been picked out by King Yan, to put it bluntly, the north gate is not a back road, it is a dead end, and it is the only dead end, as long as you go out, you will die, and there is still a way to live honestly guarding the city at home.

So if you want not to die and hold out until reinforcements arrive, then you can only resist desperately!

The army of the imperial court climbed the city wall like ants, and was beaten down by the soldiers above with stones and wood, and boiling hot oil.

And the ladder used in the siege is not something that can be pushed down, because there is a very large weight under the ladder, and there is a hook on the top of the ladder that can directly jam the city wall, so unless the soldiers above are sawing with a saw to cut off the connection of the ladder, otherwise they can't push it down by manpower.

Zhu Di commanded the counterattack, constantly ordering the soldiers to shoot arrows and cannons to smash stones, in short, both the court and Zhu Di have been forced to be in a hurry, and the methods that can be taken out are basically taken out.

……

In order to prevent the grain transport team behind him from being snatched or destroyed by the grassland tribes who learned the news, as well as the imperial army in the Great Wall, Zhu Song has been pressing the speed army and the grain transport team, which are always not far apart, and can return to the army at any time as long as any situation occurs.

It's not that Zhu Song and Zhu Di are playing tricks, it's not that Zhu Song doesn't want to hurry over, and it's not that he deliberately slowed down, waiting for the soldiers in Beiping City to be almost killed by the imperial court, and he was belatedly weakening the strength of the army in the four hands.

That is basically no different from self-dying, whether it is the hundreds of thousands of troops in Beiping or the nearly 200,000 troops in their own hands, no one can be missing, and any one of them is like a cold mouth, and the so-called 700,000 army of the imperial court will crush the remaining side like an ant.

The most important thing is that Zhu Song never thought about becoming an emperor, and even if he took 10,000 steps back, he really became an emperor, and he really had a glimpse of the future, and he was not necessarily more Qingming than the Yongle Emperor and was called the first emperor of the ages by later generations.

I finally crossed it once, if not only failed to add icing on the cake, but also drew salary from the bottom of the kettle, then I would really become a thief of the Chinese nation.

"The herald ordered the whole army to speed up a little faster, now that we are out of Daning, we are not far from Juyong Pass! Within five days, the king must see the closing of Juyong's gate! ”

"Order!"

……

Three days later.

In the past three days, there was basically a battle every day, and it can be said that there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood under the city of Beiping and above the city wall of Beiping.

Fighting during the day, the two armies come out to clean the battlefield at night, if you don't clean it, if so many corpses rot together and mold together, then I'm afraid there will be a big plague, which is not a good thing for anyone, so hurry up and clean up.

In the past three days, it can be seen that Li Jinglong is really in a hurry, and the casualties of the two armies in the past three days must have been 50,000 or 60,000, 50,000 or 60,000, and that is really a tragic scene. If these 50,000 or 60,000 people are all alive, they are also a living force.

Zhu Di sat on the city wall, the soldiers next to him were cleaning the corpse, and after three days, Zhu Di's majestic armor was also splashed with a lot of blood.

"How much grass do we have left?"

Zhang Yu replied beside him: "Your Highness, we have less than two days of grain and grass left, if the reinforcements don't arrive, we will have no rice in Beiping, and I am afraid that we can only use bark and leaves to fill the stomachs of the soldiers." ”

Zhu Di wanted to sigh at this time, but he couldn't sigh in front of so many soldiers, he could never sigh, he could talk to Zhang Yu in a whisper, not let others hear, but he definitely couldn't be discouraged.

Why do you want to let the soldiers see you on the city wall, don't you just want the soldiers to see that you are with them all the time, only in this way can you stimulate the morale of the soldiers, if you collapse at this time, then the army will also collapse.
