Chapter 147: Offensive and Defensive Battles
Zhu Di ignored him at all, took out the fire fold and blew it, threw it into the oil pot, and then picked up the torch on the side and lit it, waving it continuously.
After a while, a group of subordinates came from a distance, knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists and saluted, "The last general will see His Royal Highness King Yan." ”
Zhu Di was majestic, "Zhang Yu, immediately go to the southeast corner gate, take the eight thousand iron cavalry on standby to open the city to meet the battle, and execute it according to the original plan." ”
"The last general obeys!"
When the political envoy of Beiping heard that he was going to leave the city, his heart trembled wildly, and he didn't care why Zhu Di, who was grounded, appeared here, and hurriedly persuaded, "Think twice, the top priority is to defend the city, not attack the enemy!" ”
He doesn't understand military affairs, but he still knows it with common sense, defending the city is simple and labor-saving and effective, and it is absolutely thankless to go out to meet the battle if he does not defend the impregnable fortress.
"Your Highness, don't be rash!"
Zhu Di's eyes flashed, he still ignored him, and continued, "Zhu Neng, immediately summon the two guards on standby in the city to take over all city defense matters. ”
"The last will obey." Zhu Neng clenched his fists and left in a hurry.
"Zhang Wu."
"The end will be."
Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "After the two guards arrive, you will lead three thousand people to be responsible for the supply of equipment for defending the city, and there must be no delay." ”
"The last will obey."
……
Zhu Di is like a natural king, the momentum of the superior is fully displayed, and at this moment, he has a demeanor that he did not have in the past.
In just a quarter of an hour, Zhu Di issued more than 20 military orders, each of which was clear and unambiguous.
Seeing that he had finished deploying, Li Qing was angry and his voice was melodious, "Ignite!" ”
"Rub the ......!"
The oil pot lit one by one, and then the torch lit, and from a distance it looked like a huge fire dragon hovering.
Li Qing's voice was clear: "Hold the city wall, don't let the enemy step into the Great Wall, and after half an hour, our reinforcements will arrive." ”
The political envoy of Beiping looked at the two of them with a smile, and suddenly felt that he was a big fool.
At this moment, he still doesn't understand where he is, he has been kept in the dark the whole time, but he can't say anything, the border defense is greater than the sky, even if the court is flooded, he must give in to the border defense.
Nothing can compare to resisting the enemy, even if Li Qing disobeys the will, he will not be punished in the slightest.
Seeing that the Yuan people were getting closer and closer, he was not in the mood to care about this, so he hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness King Yan, Lord Qincha, look at the number of torches of the Yuan people, there are no less than 30,000 people, or even more, this... Is this too late? ”
There is a city to defend and naturally occupy an advantage, but the Yuan people can attack a little of it, not as good as the rest, although the number of the three guards of the king of Yan is more than the other party, but it is all over the city, it is a little not enough.
What's more, eight thousand people were sent.
He was really panicked, as the political envoy of Beiping, military affairs were also within his scope of responsibility, but it was all logistics supply, responsible for assisting defense in wartime, and a big scene of real swords and guns, this is the first time he has experienced it, can he not be nervous?
Zhu Di said lightly: "Put your heart in your stomach, this king has been on the border for more than ten years, has he ever let the Yuan people step into the Great Wall?"
It's not like I've never seen such a scene, look at your little bit of talent, tomorrow will never delay you for the first day of the new year! ”
"Uh... Yes, yes, yes. The political envoy agreed, but his heart beat a drum.
Li Qing was secretly glad that he was not lucky, not only did he make Sanwei fully prepared, but also brought King Yan just in case.
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Without Zhu Di here, even if the three guards all listened to his orders and worked hard, Li Qing was not sure in his heart.
It's not that you can become a general after seeing the battlefield twice.
Moreover, the two times he went out with the army, once to surrender, and once to take full command of Lan Yu, when the battle started, he did not play any role at all.
More importantly, this time it was a defense, not an attack on the enemy.
Li Qing estimated that even if Lan Yu came, there was a high probability that he would not be as good as Zhu Di, who had guarded the border for more than ten years, and his experience and understanding of the enemy's siege were far beyond the ability of many people.
It's not that Lan Yu is not as good as Zhu Di, but the two are different.
Li Qing arched his hand and said: "Your Highness thinks that which city gate will the Yuan people attack?" ”
"Of course, it's the biggest gateway under our feet." Zhu Di said categorically, "The Yuan people are all cavalry, such a huge army, even if the small city gate is breached, they will not be able to open it, but will be easily cut off by us and become a turtle in the urn." ”
Zhu Di smiled lightly, "The biggest advantage of the cavalry is mobility, as well as the unrivaled momentum, the horses can't run, the cavalry advantage is gone, this city gate under our feet must be where their main attack is!" ”
The enemy is getting closer and closer, and Zhu Di's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
A quarter of an hour later, the Yuan army was only a few miles away, and it was clearer to see.
Li Qing's heart sank, the number of Yuan troops was much more than expected, not 50,000 people, not much worse.
More than 50,000 people, all of them men in the prime of life, what does that mean?
You must know that the previous tribes that threw themselves into the arms of the Ming Dynasty were only a few thousand including the old and weak, women and children, it is true that they were small tribes, but even if they were big tribes, it was difficult to gather so young and strong.
Even if these people are only cooperative, they can cooperate today, and tomorrow they may not be unified.
At this moment, Li Qing was even more sure that Zhu Di guessed that the Yuan people really had a trend towards unification.
This is definitely not a small matter!
Near, closer......
Tens of thousands of troops came on the snow, getting closer and closer, and in less than half an hour, the vanguard of the Yuan people arrived at the city.
However, when the Yuan people saw that the soldiers in the city were waiting for battle, without the slightest hint of panic, the momentum of the rainbow weakened a lot.
But at this time, they naturally won't retreat easily, too many people have died along the way, if they don't get anything, they don't know how many more will die on the way back.
A leader of the Yuan people drew a scimitar and pointed it directly at the city wall, and a dense array of arrows hit the head of the city.
"Whoosh ......!"
Arrows were shot at the walls of the city and on the battlements; breaking, bounce off; At the same time, it also brought subtle damage to the city wall, and the surface layer of masonry was shot out of the small potholes covered by the nails, but it did not affect the solidity of the city wall at all.
Most of the attacks of the Yuan people were useless, but some were effective, and from time to time the Ming army was shot and wounded.
At the same time, the counterattack of the Ming army in the city also began, with catapults, cannons, and blasting towards the Yuan people's team, and the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides were about to break out.
A quarter of an hour later, the catapult of the Yuan people was also set up, throwing stones and incendiary objects into the city, and then, hundreds of Yuan people pushed the oversized cart of nearly 20 meters, howling and attacking the city gate.
"Boom! Boom! Boom......! ”
The gavel struck the city gate, and each blow seemed to hit the hearts of people.
Although the walls are strong and thick, and the back of the gate is filled with stones, forming a stone wall, it is still terrifying to feel the vibration coming from under your feet.
Bu Zheng made his heart tremble, and he regretted this ability very much, but Qin Cha is here, if he leaves now, his future career will be gone, and he will even be punished for his crimes.
Son, you must bless Daming, you must keep it...... The political envoy looked hideous.
"Knock... Whoosh ...... Boom, boom, boom......! ”
@#%……
All kinds of sounds are mixed together, and they are connected into an earth-shattering sound, which is breathtaking.
……
The two sides gradually entered a frenzy, and the Yuan people threw out the ropes, set up the ladder, and began to climb the city wall.
The Ming army in the city also used colors, stones, rolling wood, and fire oil...... poured down, and the Yuan people were stoned, burned, and fell to death, and countless people died.
But as time passed, more and more Yuan people rushed to the city and fought with the Ming army.
With the fighting on the city, the pressure of the Yuan people besieging the city under the city plummeted, and they climbed the city wall while attacking the city with all their might.
Seeing that he was about to enter a vicious circle, the political envoy's legs and stomach were shaking, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, Lord Qincha, why haven't our reinforcements arrived yet?" ”
"Soon, a quarter of an hour at most." Zhu Di was still calm, then pulled out his saber, and was about to rush up to play with Yuanren.
The face of the political envoy is green, if King Yan dies on the city wall, he, the political envoy, will also do the end, and he will have to be buried if he can't do it.
"Your Highness, ......!" The political envoy hugged Zhu Di's thigh and didn't let go, "Your Highness's daughter's body, how can you be in danger, if you make a mistake, how can you defend this city?" ”
"Spread out!" Zhu Di said angrily, "Everyone has been killed in the city, you let Lao Tzu watch it?" ”
As he spoke, he kicked away the political envoy and ran more than ten meters away to play with the Yuan people.
Li Qing didn't dare to slack off, and followed Zhu Di to kill.
"Oh, I'm a mother." The political envoy almost hugged his feet and cried, "A prince and marquis, a vassal king, which one hangs, I can't get better." ”
Looking at the overall situation that was gradually getting out of control, he really wanted to say: Son, please give me strength!
At the moment of the great enemy, at the moment of life and death, what talents to learn, what conspiracies and calculations, all of them will not work, and on the battlefield, only strength is emphasized.
At this moment, the political envoy is not even as useful as a small soldier.
There are shouts of killing everywhere, and people are dying all the time, which makes him a literati where to bear.
He wanted to escape, but he didn't dare, gradually, the scholar's anger surged into his heart, and he immediately wanted to follow the two bigwigs to kill, but his hands and feet seemed to be stiff, and he didn't listen to the call at all.
Don't say that he killed someone, he usually didn't even kill chickens.
Whatever comes up emotionally, you can overcome it.
I had no choice but to cheer: "Hold on, soldiers, you must hold it, our follow-up reinforcements will arrive soon." ”
As he spoke, he yelled at the officials who followed the city, "Why are you stunned, hurry up and boost morale with Lao Tzu!" ”
