Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 349 Yuan Army Siege
In the afternoon of the sixth day of the sixth day, all 5 of Guantong's men arrived in the north of Changli County, and banners and banners swept across the city, like black clouds pressing down on the city.On the side of Changli County, under Zhu Su's order, they closed the city gates and signaled the militia in an orderly manner, and got more than [-] militiamen.

"I didn't expect so many people to join the army enthusiastically. It seems that the people here have been suffering for a long time." On the tower, Ru Taisu caressed his long beard and said with emotion as he looked at the densely packed militiamen.

"It's just that these recruits lack equipment and training, so they won't be of much use after all," Zhu Xi said.Although he was surprised to be able to recruit so many militiamen in a short period of time, Zhu Xi has also understood that fighting a war is not as simple as relying on the number of people.He looked at Zhu Su worriedly: "Old Five, there are [-] people outside the city, can you really hold it?"

"Why not." Zhu Su and Zhu Di sat opposite each other on the top of the tower, and Zhu Su reached out and poured a bowl of tea for Zhu Xi: "The law of war says ten is to encircle him, and five is to attack. Yu Minbing, our army has nearly [-] people. It's okay, it's okay."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Ru Taisu and said, "Old Rutou, you still need to take charge of the overall situation in the county, so you should go back to the county government first."

"By the way, remember to place those prisoners properly in the city, and don't let the enemy troops outside the city take advantage of them."

Seeing Zhu Su's posture, Ru Taisu knew that the Highnesses wanted to boost the morale of the army on the tower.He was still a little worried, but Zhu Su's analysis also gave him some confidence.Thinking about his lack of military knowledge, it would be better to appease the people in the city, so he cupped his hands and said, "I understand. Your Highness, please put your own safety first."

"If... If nothing can be done, Your Highness can leave the old minister to guard the city alone, and His Highness will bring his own people to retreat..." Ru Taisu thought for a while, then whispered to Zhu Su.

"Hahahaha. Old Ru, why are you so worried?"

"I think the Yuan army outside the city is only [-] worthless. You only need to sit here, and the sons and daughters will destroy it for the king. What danger can there be?" Zhu Su deliberately laughed loudly.

Beside him, the sergeants who were still in a panic at first became suspicious when they heard what he said.His Highness the Fifth Highness is so confident, could it be that those Yuan troops outside the city are really vulnerable?
"Your Highness, the enemy is starting to cross the river!" Cao Yuan, the general standing by, said.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the Yuan army outside the city, and saw that the Yuan army did not set up a camp. After a short rest, they got up directly and began to forcibly cross the river.

"Oh, so arrogant." Zhu Su sneered and stood up.

"Gentlemen, it seems that the Yuan generals on the opposite side don't pay attention to you." He deliberately looked around at the surrounding generals, and sure enough, seeing the Yuan army directly crossing the river to attack the city without setting up camp, the eyes of a group of Ming generals were all terrified. I became unkind.

If they attacked the city directly without setting up a camp, did they think that the Ming army in Changli City was made of mud, and they could just blow it down casually?

"Grandma, Your Highness, give me an old cavalry, and I will surprise him while he is halfway across the river..." Chang Mao, who was still dignified before, was furious at this time, holding a big iron spear and charging at Zhu. Su please fight.The rest of the generals were also filled with righteous indignation, and they knelt down and begged Kaesong to fight.

"There is no need to fight in Kaesong." Seeing that the army's morale was available, Zhu Su smiled, sat down and took a sip of tea. "Since they want to attack the city, let them attack."

"This king originally had a plan to retreat from the enemy, but now it seems that to defeat these Yuan troops with a plan, after all, it is better to beat all their offensives directly on this city wall."

"This battle is only for the king to watch from the jade. If you are not the opponent of the Yuan army, how about this king?"

Hearing what Zhu Su said on purpose, a group of Ming generals immediately bled up.Chang Mao yelled: "What does your Highness mean by this? Could it be that we are not as good as these Yuan dogs?"

"Grandma, I always take the military merits of this battle by myself. How can I rely on His Highness's ingenuity every time? I earned enough military merits earlier, so I won't always have people saying that my country's actions are not worthy of the name!"

When the rest of the people heard that His Highness really had a clever plan, they immediately felt as if they had taken a reassurance.Now that the mind has settled down, the temperament also comes up: the same pair of shoulders carry a head, can the mere 5 yuan army still be afraid of him?This time, it's up to me to keep the 5 people down, and His Royal Highness thinks that we can only eat food!
In a blink of an eye, the vanguard of the Yuan army had crossed the river, and a group of generals took their positions in an instant, and they were really busy defending themselves.Zhu Di looked at Zhu Su with a calm face, and said in a low voice, "Fifth brother, do you really have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

"What does fourth brother think?" Zhu Su raised his head and blinked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di understood everything in an instant. What his fifth younger brother said was just to give his soldiers a layer of confidence.

Deliberately drinking tea on the city tower is also true, and it is also true to say that there is a clever plan to defeat the enemy, but it is just a means to boost morale.The purpose is to defend this wave of attack from Guantong.

Seeing that the rain of arrows had already started to be thrown from the tower, Zhu Xi asked, "Old man, the opponent has 5 people after all, but we only have [-] waiting. What if the enemy attacks continuously for days?"

"Heh, with an army of [-], it costs a lot in a day. How much rations can Guantong carry with him, enough to support his continuous assault?" Zhu Su said. "In my opinion, if they can have food for three to five days, that is already the limit."

"These three to five days will definitely be fierce battles. We must defend this county. Waiting for the lack of food in the Scouts... will be a turning point."

There was a flash of light in Zhu Su's eyes.Not only Guan Tong, but Naha, who had been waiting for a long time under Yongping City, must also be out of ammunition and food.If it is to be exhausted, the first one that cannot be exhausted will definitely not be the Ming army.

"The enemy army has arrived at the city." Zhu Di said.

In the sound of war drums that directly beat people's hearts, countless Yuan troops rushed to the foot of Changli City holding a simple ladder. , Climbing up the city wall one after another.

The siege method with the most attrition: ant-attached siege!
However, the momentum of the Yuan army was extremely fierce. Even though most of the ladders were cut and smashed by the Ming army, from time to time, the screams of Yuan soldiers being pushed down from the high ladders could be heard from under the city wall. There were still many soldiers of the Yuan army rushing to the city wall along the ladder, and killed them towards the place where Zhu Su's king's flag was erected.

"Prime Minister Zuo has an order: Those who kill the prince of Ming Dynasty will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep, and ten thousand households will be sealed!" Yuan Bing shouted with red eyes, and charged desperately at Zhu Su and the others who were drinking tea.

"Wan Hu, who rewards you!" Chang Mao didn't expect the Yuan army's attack to be so crazy. He stabbed a Yuan army soldier who had just climbed up the city wall with an iron spear, and then said loudly: "Brother! Ladies, don't embarrass me! Push all these yuan dogs down for me!"

"If your highnesses are injured by these yuan dogs, what face do we have to meet the crown prince and your majesty!"
