Surprise flashed in Xu's eyes.

It only snowed last night, and today is the cold time, but the historian of Chu is wearing a half-sleeved single coat, ignoring the cold of Beiping Mansion, and the cold wind blows on him as if it dissolves, which is really magical.

After thinking for a while, Xu turned his head to look at the many women and soldiers here and said loudly: "Today, the historian of Chu is coming, but the enemy army outside the city is still attacking endlessly, it is really a great disrespectful crime, everyone, please fight with me to defend the city!" ”

A group of women cooking and soldiers roasting the fire all saluted the princess, shouting words such as "fighting to defend the city", "Chu Shiguan" and "King Yan".

Chu Zhen smiled, he originally wanted to go up to the city wall, but he didn't expect Xu to have something to say:

"Ten days ago, through the radio station donated by the Chu historian, I learned that His Royal Highness had borrowed 50,000 soldiers and horses from Daning Mansion, and they also learned the news that Beiping Mansion was besieged.

The soldiers and women of Beiping Mansion were all surprised, and they talked about it one after another.

"I've seen the Historian."

Gu Cheng, the future Marquis of Zhenyuan, walked down from the city wall and saluted, although the weather was cold, Chu Zhen saw that his face was full of red light, and he was still wearing armor and cloak when he was nearly seventy years old, and he climbed to the head of the city to command the battle in the gatehouse.

Chu Zhen said with a smile: "This battle is General Gu's feudal battle, I'll go up and see how well it is defended." ”

"Historian, please!"

Gu Cheng immediately made a gesture and asked him to go up to the city wall.

Zhu Gaochi didn't wear armor, so he could only hurriedly say: "Historian must be careful, there are many enemy arrows on the city wall!" ”

Chu Zhen waved his hand back, indicating that he didn't mind.

After ascending the city walls, he saw a different kind of ancient siege warfare.

Compared with the last time in Xiongxian, Zhang Yu, Zhu Gaochi and others launched a fierce offensive like a tide, this time the battle to defend the city of Beiping Mansion was carried out quite slowly.

First of all, because of the cold weather, the combat strength of both sides has dropped a lot.

Secondly, Beiping City is the northern fortress of the Ming Dynasty, the city wall is frighteningly tall, the iron cannonballs hit the wall without pain, and the imperial army wants to throw it more onto the city wall to suppress the fire.

But if you want to throw it up, the cannon will be pulled closer, and it will be attacked by the cannons and bows and arrows of Beiping Mansion.

The imperial army can only use various methods, a little bit of wear and tear, to compete with the Yan army in the city for endurance.

Gu Cheng explained: "They all attacked the city on a small scale for several days in a row, which made us tired, and then carried out a big attack on a certain day. ”

Chu Zhen nodded and watched the siege battle between the two sides.

Gu Cheng said embarrassedly: "Historian, I'm afraid you made a mistake just now, but now that the Marquis of Changxing is here, he is the best at defending the city, and I am afraid that I will not get any credit for this battle..."

The Marquis of Changxing is Geng Bingwen, who won the marquis by defending the city, before he was for Zhu Yuanzhang, and now he is for Zhu Di.

The generals who were captured in the last Zhending Battle are all involved in the defense of the city at this moment!

"There's going to be a chance."

Chu Zhen said with a smile.

"You mean, go out of the city to fight?"

Gu Cheng looked outside the city, shook his head and denied: "In the past, they could still go out of the city at night to attack and harass, but now they have moved the camp to ten miles away and set up sentry posts all the way, it is too difficult to bypass." ”

"You came up with the strategy of a night raid?"

"It was the prince's suggestion, I think it is feasible, and the Marquis of Changxing agreed."

Now in Beiping Mansion, it is Zhu Gaochi who makes the decision, but Zhu Gaochi will also listen to his mother Xu, and he will discuss with his mother whenever there is a big decision.

Chu Zhen and Gu Chengzheng were chatting, and suddenly heard the sound of a big drum coming from outside the city, and it was several big drums beating together.

Gu Cheng's face changed, and he hurriedly came to the window of the gatehouse to look down, and sure enough, he saw a large number of southern troops surging towards him.

"Beat the drums!"

Gu Cheng immediately ordered.

The drums of the city gate of Beiping Mansion also sounded, and the soldiers who were still roasting the fire took up their weapons and ran up the city wall, waiting for the battle.

Chu Zhen sat in the city gate tower and opened the eyes of the historian.

The imperial army withstood the cold wind, pushed a large number of siege equipment to the city gate, there were so many soldiers in the Ming army, you couldn't see the head at all, Chu Zhen looked at the outside before, it was still white, and now you look at it again, the mountains are full of neat Ming troops.

Being able to attack the city in the cold weather of December (Gregorian calendar) in the north, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army led by Li Jinglong is definitely not low!

Half an hour later, the siege began.

The sound of fighting lasted for three hours, and Chu Zhen thought that they would retreat at night, but who knew that Li Jinglong was still commanding the army, and after another hour of fierce attack, he ordered the troops to retreat.

Early the next morning, the siege continued.

The morale in the city was strong, but there were still several dangers, and Zhu Gaochi proposed three times that he should abandon the outer city, retreat to the inner city, and take the initiative to shrink the defensive line.

But Geng Bingwen, Gu Cheng, Ping An and others all think that they can keep it again!

Princess Xu took the initiative to put on armor and went up to the city wall to encourage morale, and the women in the city were mobilized again to carry things under the city wall.

As for the men, they have long changed into armor and fought in battle.

More than 10,000 men held it for three days and repelled many large-scale attacks by the Southern Army.

It wasn't until noon on the fourth day that Zhu Gaochi finally received his father's message:

"I crossed the White River and defeated its vanguard!"

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed, and rushed out and shouted the good news to everyone breathlessly!

In less than half an hour, it spread throughout the city, and the whole of Beiping Mansion was greatly encouraged!

Gu Cheng ordered people to shout on the city wall:

"King Yan to Baihe, what can your army do!"

The continuous shouting made the news that King Yan returned to Beiping also spread quickly throughout Li Jinglong's entire army.

Chu Zhen could see with his eyes that the morale of the imperial army had plummeted, and the offensive had immediately slowed down, and an hour later, Mingjin had withdrawn his troops.

Chu Zhen was still wondering whether to go to Zhengcunba to see if there was a big war, but the next day, the official in charge of the radio station hurriedly reported the news to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi immediately convened an operational meeting.

In the afternoon, the city gate was opened, and more than 10,000 soldiers went out of the city to pursue, and cooperated with Zhu Di, who had returned from killing, to attack back and forth, defeating Li Jinglong's army.

A large number of baggage was discarded, the ownerless war horses ran around, the soldiers trampled on each other, and countless casualties were killed.

After seeing Zhu Di, Chu Zhen learned that it was Li Jinglong who couldn't attack for a long time, and knew that Zhu Di had returned to Beiping, and there was still a Baoding Mansion behind him that had not been broken and was stuck in the back road.

Coupled with the fact that the weather is getting colder and colder, Li Jinglong has the idea of withdrawing to Zhending and Jinan.

As soon as his army moved, Zhu Di saw through it at a glance, and made an appointment with Beiping Mansion to attack together, defeating the imperial army again.

There were not many beheadings, but Li Jinglong seemed to be panicked, and led the army to flee lightly, and the materials he left behind were enough for 100,000 troops to come to another big battle!

After Zhu Di entered the city, Beiping Mansion announced the lifting of the siege, and there were cheers inside and outside the city.

There will be no more fighting for the next two months, and they will be able to have a good year.

It is difficult to fight in the north in winter, and neither side wants to attack at this time, so they tacitly agree to make peace for the time being, and wait until next spring.

Yanwang Mansion.

"Next year will be my first fight with Jianwen!"

Zhu Di, who has 100,000 heavy soldiers, looks full of ambition after winning two major battles in a row.

The previous battle with Geng Bingwen was a battle based on him, and only by winning the battle could he have the capital to go to Daning Mansion to borrow troops, otherwise, even if King Ning was willing to borrow troops, the soldiers and horses of Daning Dusi might not necessarily be willing to fight him.

With 100,000 soldiers and horses, and after capturing a large number of supplies, Zhu Di dared to say that he would conquer the city and start a real duel with Jianwen's nephew.

"Next year...... It was the Battle of the Baigou River. ”

Chu Zhen held the teacup and didn't know what to say for a while.

How tragic was the battle of Baigou River?

Just say the result:

After this battle, Zhu Di turned from defense to offense.

Chu Zhen pondered, Zhu Di didn't dare to disturb, and waited for the historian to make a decision.

"Do you have an internal response in Yingtianfu?"

Chu Zhen asked him.

Many people ridiculed Li Jinglong as Zhu Di's person, but judging from the fact that Li Jinglong was stripped of his title in the second year of Yongle, he really wasn't, but like Geng Bingwen, Sheng Yong and others, he was simply defeated by Zhu Di, and finally opened the city gate and surrendered.

"Yes."

Zhu Di didn't hide it, and said: "My brother-in-law will send me some news, historian, do you want to ......?" ”

"Xu Zengshou later revealed that after you led the army across the river, he was killed by Zhu Yunwen himself."

"This!"

Zhu Di was shocked and nervous, and immediately thought of countermeasures: "I asked someone to secretly send him a radio station, so as not to make another mistake!" ”

Chu Zhen said: "Since you sent it to him, then simply give it to Li Jinglong, as well as your brothers, and send some to send, and wait for next year to use it." ”

Zhu Di thought about it.

sent a radio station to Li Jinglong, even if he handed it over to Zhu Yunwen, it would not work.

If you send it to the vassal kings in various places, it is inevitable that someone will take the initiative to hand over the radio to Zhu Yunwen.

The two radios will be able to communicate with each other.

But the role it can do is limited.

"The historian wants to recruit him?" Zhu Di asked first.

Chu Zhen smiled, "He will take the initiative to surrender in the future, but that is in front of the gate of Yingtianfu City, and now he wants to surrender, unless he uses extraordinary means!" ”

Zhu Di understood, and the extraordinary means was that the historian personally went out.

"Good!"

Zhu Di agreed: "If he still leads the army next year, I will send him one, as for my younger brothers...... Historian, I don't have much radio! ”

The tone and expression were almost like "send me some more radios".

Chu Zhen waved his hand and gave him another thirty walkie-talkies, plus fifty walkie-talkies.

"A radio station within a short distance, within twenty miles?!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard it, this thing is also easy to use when leading the army to fight!

"In this way, I will choose a few younger brothers."

Zhu Di decided: "Send them a radio station, and inform them that it is a gift from the historian, let them hold it themselves, don't hand it over to the court!" ”

Chu Zhen said: "I'm wondering if I should send one to my nephew as well, so that he can know about the front line in time." ”

Zhu Di just wanted to laugh and say that he could let people collect it in Yingtianfu and send it when necessary, but suddenly, he thought of Zhu Guorui.

Historian Chu's extraordinary means, should it be ......

"Forget it."

Chu Zhen gave up, it was not a good thing to stimulate Zhu Yunwen in advance, and it would be troublesome to change someone to lead the army.

"I'll go back first." Chu Zhen got up and said meaningfully: "Next time I come, I'm afraid it will be the first big battle after the beginning of spring, and King Yan needs to prepare in advance." ”

Zhu Di was about to nod, but he felt that it was wrong, the preparation in the historian's mouth did not seem to let him prepare for war, but to prepare for other things.

After seeing the historian leave, Zhu Di fell into a state of gain and loss.

I'm afraid I won't have a good year this year.
