The banner was unfurled, the war drums were sounding in unison, and Dakui led 50,000 forward troops to Lanzhou City to wait for the battle

Li Siqi learned that the forward army of the Ming army had arrived in the city, and urgently ordered his 80,000 elite soldiers to be fortified on all sides, and there were 20,000 elite soldiers on the four city walls in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and the bows and crossbows on the city walls were in place, and the artillery was in place

There is plenty of food and grass in the city of Lanzhou, if the Ming army wants to break the city immediately, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, even if the forward army arrives, it may not dare to attack the city, and it will definitely wait for the large group of men and horses to arrive in Qi, Li Siqi has already calculated, as long as Lanzhou insists on three months, Timur will send troops to help, and when the time comes, the Ming army will be broken by attacking inside and outside

Xining is only hundreds of miles away from Lanzhou, but in the early stage of expansion, Timur waved his troops to the east, but was burned grain and grass, and later Li Siqi merged with it, originally wanted to take the Guanchuan River again, which Cheng Xiang, the army just arrived on the west bank of the Guanchuan River, and learned the news that Qingyang City was broken, Qingyang is the throat of the east and west military roads, Xu Datun soldiers, Qingyang expanded Timur, he knew that there was no hope of advancing eastward, so he had no choice but to retreat from Xining, and when he retreated, Li Siqi only allocated him a month's grain and grass

This time, the Ming army arrived at the city of Lanzhou, Li Siqi had already sent messengers to Kuangkuo Timur to complain urgently, and he was pitiful of Kuangkuo Timur's more than 200,000 male soldiers, but he was suffering from the lack of winter food, even if he came to rescue Li Siqi, he had to raise food for several months, but Li Siqi was calm in his heart, there were more than 100,000 elite soldiers in the city, and the grain and grass were enough to eat for a year, even if Kuangkuo Timur came again next year, he was not afraid of relying on the high soldiers in the city, and he was afraid that the Ming army would not be able to fly over

Outside the city, Zhang Chengcheng sang and danced to the level, Li Siqi was youzai, and he had a lot of fun, he put one hundred and twenty hearts, because the horse had already come to report, Xu Da's army was still resting in Qingyang City, and at this moment it was the Ming army's lone army, Li Siqi wanted to go out of the four gates, with 100,000 elite soldiers in the city and the Ming army's 50,000 vanguard troops to fight under the city, but when he learned that it was Zhang Dakui who led the troops, Li Siqi couldn't help but dispel this idea

At that time, the Jiangbei Red Turban Army was invincible, and this Zhang Dakui made great contributions, and his courage and fierceness made Li Siqi still afraid of three points

Close the four gates and guard without fighting, just like this, to see who consumes whom, Li Siqi was still a little worried, but soon the city soldiers came to report, and the Ming army began to set up camp, Li Siqi heard the report, but his heart blossomed

For three days in a row, Da Kui sent soldiers to the front of the city to call for battle, but the soldiers in the city ignored it

In the past three days, Da Kui ordered the soldiers to cut down trees, build siege ladders, and take advantage of the night to carry soil to fill the river, and at noon on the third day, the moat in front of the east gate of Lanzhou City has been filled in, even so, the Yuan army does not care, every time the Ming soldiers come to the city to call the array, the Yuan soldiers also laugh and scold loudly in the city from time to time

In the Chinese military tent, Da Kui Tie sat on the tiger skin chair with a blue face, Sun Qian and other generals accompanied him on both sides, and Sun Qian's heart was secretly laughing: "Now that Lanzhou City is solid, Marshal Tang does not send a single soldier, I want to see what you Zhang Dakui has to do to take Lanzhou."

Looking at the generals in the tent, Da Kui said slowly: "What is the best plan for this battle?"

Sun Qian clenched his fists and bowed and said: "The last general thought that the gate of the village would be closed and only defended without fighting, and the marshal's army would attack the city again as soon as it arrived."

Da Kui was noncommittal and asked, "General Yang, what do you think?"

At this moment, Yang Xiaohu has been promoted by Da Kui to the commander of the infantry battalion, although he is also a thousand-commander, but he can finally lead the troops

Yang Xiaohu asked and said: "At the end of the general's words, he thought that he could lure the enemy into deceiving the Yuan soldiers out of the city, and then he would definitely win the battle."

Yang Xiaohu said that Da Kui couldn't help but ask: "How to lure the enemy, General Ben would like to hear the details"

Yang Xiaohu continued: "Eighty miles south of Lanzhou, there is a Lintao County, where the city is small, but it is enough to settle my 50,000 Ming army, and now Lintao County is guarded by Li Siqi's generals, and the defenders are only 10,000, our army can pretend to attack Lintao Road, 30,000 elite soldiers are ambushed, only 20,000 horses are used to take Lintao, the Yuan army sees our army to attack Lintao, and when our army attacks the city, the 30,000 soldiers and horses who set up an ambush will take advantage of the situation to kill the 20,000 soldiers and horses who feint to attack Lintao, and the Yuan soldiers will be defeated."

Da Kui smiled and nodded, and said approvingly: "Xiaohu has grown."

Yang Xiaohu smiled slightly and said: "General Xie praises" The rest of the generals also echoed their voices, and they were full of praise for Yang Xiaohu, Yang Xiaohu was fluttering for a while

Da Kui asked: "Even if this plan is feasible, it will not hurt Lanzhou City, my forward army is here to take Lanzhou, and if you want to fight it, you will attack the city openly, so why do you have to make some small moves."

Hearing Da Kui say this, Yang Xiaohu suddenly wilted like an eggplant

Another Du Tong stepped forward and said: "General Rong Yu, even if we want to attack the city with 50,000 horses and horses, if we want to attack the city on all sides, the troops will be insufficient, but this is like this."

Da Kui laughed and said: "Attacking from all sides is certainly insufficient, but if you attack on one side, it is more than enough" said Da Kui got up and walked to the tent gate and pointed to Lanzhou City in the distance: "You see how many Yuan soldiers are on the wall of the east gate."

Sun Qian looked at it and said: "At this moment, the Yuan soldiers are only defending, not fighting, the soldiers on the city are slack, but there are more than a thousand soldiers, but once our army attacks the city on a large scale, there will be Yuan soldiers under the city to resist."

Da Kui smiled lightly and continued to ask: "The city wall is full of how many people can stand on the Yuan soldiers?"

Sun Qian took a closer look and said, "Let's say that it can stand for 8,000 people."

Da Kui asked again: "50,000 against 8,000 odds of winning"

Sun Qian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "The general wants to attack Lanzhou City with our 50,000 soldiers and horses" Seeing Da Kui smiling and silent, Sun Qian hurriedly said: "The general can know that even if there are only 8,000 yuan soldiers in the city, but he is condescending and has longbows and hard crossbows and artillery to help our army, even if he goes to the city, he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and if he doesn't make it, he will be greatly damaged."

Da Kui smiled at Sun Qian's words and turned around and raised his voice: "It is rumored that I will order the three army camps to assemble in front of the city and prepare to attack the city."

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, but the generals were outstanding, and the generals had to obey

At noon in early winter, the warm sun shone on the earth, and the Ming army lined up in front of the camp under the city of Lanzhou, and the neat 40,000-man infantry square lined up, and in front was a cavalry 10,000-person square formation

Da Kui red robe and golden armor sat on the jujube red horse, looking at the 50,000 elite soldiers under him, and after a long time, he raised his voice and shouted: "Soldiers", the sound of Da Kui Qi pouring into the dantian spread far away

"Lanzhou City is behind you, when you make meritorious contributions, just today, in the battle of Qingyang, my forward army is not in a good position, today I will take you to erase the shame," Da Kui said, raised his legs, took off the iron spear from the saddle hook, raised his arms, and shouted: "Glory to Lanzhou, the first battle to become famous"

Who knew that Da Kui shouted three times with wishful thinking, and the 50,000 soldiers were silent, and there was a dead silence

Seeing this, Da Kui was not annoyed, but just shouted: "Yang Xiaohu takes the lead"

In the formation, Yang Xiaohu responded loudly: "Obey the general's orders" After saying that, he waved the iron gun in his hand and shouted: "The first echelon is attacking the city"

Yang Xiaohu's subordinate Qianerlang carried hundreds of ladders and shouted out of the crowd and rushed straight to the Lanzhou city wall

Seeing this, the Yuan soldiers in Lanzhou City not only laughed one by one, but also carried a thousand people and horses to take Lanzhou City

Until Yang Xiaohu took the soldiers to put the ladder on the city wall, the Yuan soldiers only put a round of arrows, and nearly 100 soldiers of the Ming army fell to the ground under the ladder, but the rest still held on to the ladder and swore not to retreat

Da Kui still immediately looked forward to the 50,000 soldiers, and shouted again: "Recover Lanzhou and become famous in the first battle", as soon as the words fell, he turned the horse's head and feet, and knocked the horse's belly, but he actually rode a horse and whipped towards the Lanzhou city wall

The 50,000 Ming troops were stupid, as the main general, the first soldier to attack the city, Dakui's move actually aroused the emotions of the crowd, Sun Qian was still hesitating, a captain had already crossed the crowd, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted: "Recover Lanzhou, fight to kill famously"

The spark can ignite the plain, the morale of the Ming army suddenly rose, and 50,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "Recover Lanzhou, fight a battle, and kill famously", and then the five phalanxes marched together, and the soldiers of the Ming army roared and raised their weapons to kill Lanzhou City

The Yuan soldiers in the city were shocked, and the 50,000 Ming troops who were like a tide had already swarmed to the city

Da Kui and his horse rushed to the city wall at the moment, and he jumped up on the horse, pounced on a cloud ladder, and his body kept moving, and he saw Da Kui walking like a fly, rushing to the half of the city wall

"Woo woo" alarm horn sounded, more than 1,000 soldiers defending the city opened their bows and released arrows, for a time arrows shot down the head of the city, the Ming army under the city just rushed to the root of the city, the rain of arrows sprinkled over, the Ming army immediately fell down

Da Kui is climbing towards the city, because he is wearing the armor of the general, naturally attracting the Yuan soldiers to take special care, Da Kui is still three or five zhang away from the city, dozens of long arrows with a strong roar have been shot in front of him, at this critical juncture, Da Kui stretched out his hand, pulled the cloak, shook his hand, and made a 'sleeve in the sleeve', the fiery red cloak was windless, and dozens of long arrows were all included

Just when the Yuan soldiers who released the arrows were stunned, Da Kui had already rushed up a few steps and turned into the city wall

The brave man won Da Kui on the narrow road, and as soon as he entered the city wall, the spear in his hand had already shaken his hand and stabbed out a few cold guns, like a swimming dragon, like a tiger, and several Yuan soldiers who had just approached had not yet made a move, and their throats were spurting blood and fell to the ground

Da Kui succeeded in a move, and then did not hesitate, regardless of his body, only to the right side to kill, there is a city defense cannon there, once the cannon sounded, it is bound to cause a large number of casualties to the Ming army, 50,000 Ming troops only attacked a city wall, the Ming army under the city is crowded, this cannon can be imagined, the power can be imagined

Da Kui rushed between the iron spear danced, like a wheel, or swept or smashed the place where the Yuan soldiers howled, and the corpses were all over the place, just between the Da Kui and the Yuan soldiers, the city "boom", "boom", "boom", the cannon sounded repeatedly, the shells bloomed under the city, for a time, the Ming army under the city was full of flesh and blood, and the dead and wounded
