Chapter 138: Beiping Meat Grinder

Therefore, every time the soldiers of the imperial court who rushed up by the cloud ladder from the north gate stepped on the city, they would rush to Zhu Di with a roar, but unfortunately when Zhu Di was fighting on the battlefield, some of these southern troops had not yet been weaned.

Zhu Di's battle itself is brave and decisive, fierce and vicious, and at this time he is in the prime of life, it is the time when his body and experience are the best match, with one to ten, it is not a problem at all, and he is covered in blood in the sword light and sword shadow, but not a drop of blood is his own.

This wave resisted the attack of the imperial court, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, took the kettle handed over by his subordinates, opened it and drank it happily.

"How's the situation at Juyongguan?"

Zhang Yu replied: "Your Highness, I don't know the situation at Juyong Pass, now the ambush soldiers in the north gate of the imperial court are still there, if our people go out of the north gate, they will definitely be intercepted and killed by these two waves of ambushes, what they want is that we have no news in our eyes." ”

Zhu Di nodded, there was really no way, so he had to continue to do it.

……

In the tent of the imperial army, Li Jinglong was discussing with his subordinates how to fight next, siege vehicles and ladders were as indispensable, and artillery could bombard as hard as it could.

Although the high walls of Beiping City are thick, even if you run to one place with all your might, you can't destroy the city walls of Beiping, but unfortunately, the amount of gunpowder and cannonballs in the imperial court is extremely large, and it can withstand Li Jinglong's squandering like this.

With his profligate style of play, if Zhu Di sees it, Zhu Di will inevitably scold him for being an idiot.

You must know that Zhu Di's gunpowder and cannonballs are not much, and the ordnance issued by the imperial court to Beiping every year is considered to be a lot, but compared with this imperial court, the gunpowder and cannonballs stored in his treasury are not worth mentioning at all.

So when the imperial army was full of strength to bombard himself with artillery, Zhu Di still held back, and did not pull out his own red-clothed cannon and the red-clothed cannon of the imperial court to bombard each other in waves, always throwing bricks, stones, and rolling wood to pour dung oil.

At this moment, he saw a group of people walking into the tent, and Li Jinglong looked up and saw that what he saw was nothing else, it was the eunuch of the current emperor's decree.

When Li Jinglong saw the holy decree in the eunuch's hand, he immediately approached, and then knelt on one knee, and the generals behind him were also uniform.

The eunuch opened the holy decree and sang loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor's system and says: Today, the Duke of Cao Guo has been attacking Beiping for a long time, and he has fallen into the prestige of our army, and I don't like it!" Today, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is going all out to attack the city today! Within three days! I will definitely see the good news of Beiping! ”

Li Jinglong was shocked after hearing this, it seems that the saint is in a hurry, in the eyes of the saint, Beiping is just a small city, and the 600,000 army can be wiped out with a wave of the army, how can it be used to fight for so many days?

But the saint is also a human after all, even if the saint is good at civil governance, but he is not good at martial arts, the saint has not been on the battlefield and does not know the danger of the battlefield, the saint has not attacked the city, let alone attacked a strong city like Beiping!

Even if Li Jinglong is unconvinced, he does not dare to resist the decree, although there is a sentence that will not be accepted by the foreign monarch's order, but all the military officials in the world are watching, everyone has never been to Beiping, and they may think that Li Jinglong is raising self-respect, or Li Jinglong's personal ability is not the commander of the first army at all.

Li Jinglong's biggest hope in this life is to get out of the shadow of his father, get the recognition of others, and let others know that even if I don't rely on my father, relying on my own ability, I can achieve the position of the prince of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later.

Therefore, although Jianwen's holy decree did not say a word, but the implication was that Li Jinglong knew it really, and the emperor sent a handwritten letter to tell himself in the vernacular, you, if you don't hurry up and give me the city to conquer, I will go around saying that you are a rich second generation of gentlemen, and you are a bear child who relies on your father.

Li Jinglong originally planned to wait for a few days, when the grain and grass in Beiping City were exhausted, and by that time, the loss of the imperial court would inevitably be reduced, but if His Majesty pasted all the holy decrees on his brain today, if he didn't exert all his strength, he would really be looked down upon in the future!

Li Jinglong received the holy decree, and a trace of perseverance flashed in his eyes.

"The people will listen to the command! I sent all my soldiers and horses, and the cavalry got off my horse, and after the archers had shot all the arrows they carried, they immediately drew their swords and went up to the city to cut people! Those who dare to retreat halfway will be unforgiving! ”

This time Li Jinglong was really forced to be in a hurry, and had to spend all his military strength to fight Zhu Di to the death, if he couldn't take Beiping, then he would really return to Beijing without a word to face His Majesty, and he would return to Beijing without a word to face the hundreds of officials in the court, and his name as a gentleman would continue to do it until he died of old age!

The nominal army of 700,000 has been changed to an army of 600,000 this time, and the real army of 600,000 has been beaten to 500,000 this time, which is a little bit more.

In the past few days, the imperial court has lost a series of battles, and many soldiers will be lost in a battle, and Beiping is like a huge meat grinder, which has crushed the lives and flesh of the soldiers of both the southern and northern armies under this towering city wall.

Zhu Di stood on the city wall, feeling unprecedented pressure.

"Yes, yes! This Li Jinglong has been doing so many days, and he has finally come up with real skills, he should have done this a long time ago, isn't he afraid that there will not be many people left after the defeat of Beijing City? ”

"Ci is not in charge of the army, if this king is in charge of the army, the first thing is to solve the rebel first, otherwise this traitor will live longer and longer, won't the people of the world wait to pour their hearts to the traitor?"

"It doesn't matter how many soldiers and horses are left, it matters who the people of the world want to be!"

"If we survive this battle and resist the attack of the imperial court, then the morale of the imperial court will be completely finished, and we can take advantage of this time to go out of the city and chase the ass of the imperial army!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers of Beiping shouted in unison, and Li Jinglong, who was far away in command of the imperial army, heard this reverberation, which was breathtaking.

Just when the final decisive battle was about to break out between Zhu Di and Li Jinglong, he suddenly saw only one herald and hurried over.

"It's not good, it's not good! The King of Han, the King of Liao, and the King of Ning in Liaodong have all entered Juyong Pass with soldiers and horses to help King Yan, and now the two ambush troops we have placed outside the Desheng Gate in Beicheng Beicheng have all been annihilated! ”

"What?"

Li Jinglong made a thousand calculations, that is, he lost the power of Liaodong, the king of Han, in fact, for the imperial court, although the imperial court knew the situation in Liaodong, but there was a time difference, and when the news arrived, there might be new changes in Liaodong.
