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

Chapter 350 Yuan Army Siege

The battle for the city wall was extremely fierce from the very beginning. Relying on the high morale of the first arrival, the Yuan army launched an extremely strong offensive from the very beginning.

"Well, it actually held up. This Ming army is really not to be underestimated." Under the city wall, Guan Tong sat on his horse, watching the Yuan army being forced down the city wall by the Ming army bit by bit, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.Originally, according to his estimation, taking advantage of the fact that their morale was high just after they arrived, and there were only more than ten thousand people in the enemy's city, they would definitely be able to directly destroy the morale of the Ming army in one go, and then capture the city and capture the three Ming court princes alive , Return to Prime Minister Zuo's formation...

"Master Guan Tong, what are we going to do next?" Deputy General Naier Buhua asked Guan Tong.

"Well, call back the troops." Guan Tong set up an awning and watched the situation on the city. "If the three king flags on the city tower move, maybe we still have a chance or two. But according to the current situation, we will not have a chance today. Before it is too late, let the sons cut wood and set up camp."

He glanced at the city again: "Tomorrow, build a 'Huihui Pao' and attack the city again."

"Yes." Nai'er nodded without taking it, and someone blew the horn to withdraw the troops.Master Guan Tong is right, if the king's flag on the city moves, then there may be a possibility of crushing the morale of the Ming army in one fell swoop.But after fighting for so long, Wang Qi still stood still, which showed that the morale of the Ming army could not be shaken so easily.

That being the case, we can only rely on tomorrow's "returning cannon" to hit those few royal flags that will not be shaken.

"Yuan Dog has retreated!" Cheers from the soldiers of the Ming Army sounded on the city wall.

Zhu Su put down his teacup and peeked at it. Sure enough, the Yuan army under the city had begun to retreat like a tide.

After all, the city walls of Changli County were a little lower, and the onslaught launched at the beginning really stunned Zhu Su and the others.However, the morale of the Ming army did not collapse after all, and finally took back the position on the city wall bit by bit by virtue of its geographical advantage.If Zhang He or other generals of the Ming army were here, they would know that any siege battle, if it is not attacked, it will be over. Although he saw that Guan Tong did not set up an army formation to attack the city directly, he did not expect that the first battle of the siege would be so dangerous.

According to his guess, he thought that the siege battle was just like the usual encounters. The first battle was just a tentative contact, and he would not use all his strength from the beginning.However, it was just such a negligence in consciousness that the Yuan army almost got it.

"It's finally back." Zhu Xi also heaved a sigh of relief. "Grandma, I didn't expect that drinking tea before the battle is not a human thing! The smell of blood is so strong, I have to pretend to be calm and pour tea into my mouth, my stomach is full of water, and I have to hold back The hut..."

Even though Zhu Yu didn't know soldiers as well as the two brothers, he knew that the Ming army could only support it with one breath at that time. If it couldn't hold it, the city would surely collapse.At that time, my brothers were obviously the inner pillars of the soldiers of the Ming army. If he had rushed to the latrine at that time, some soldiers might have seen him and thought that he could not bear the pressure and ran away, and the prince ran away. What morale do these little soldiers have?If they couldn't get it together, a group of people threw their helmets and armor off on the spot.

Regarding Zhu Xi's complaint, Zhu Su rubbed his swollen stomach deeply.He didn't expect that drinking tea to pack Boyi before the battle would be a job that could sustain a person to death.

"I'm afraid I will have to do this job for a few more days." Zhu Di was also a little apprehensive about today's battle situation.He has also seen that the confidence of the Ming army is all tied to his three brothers.If the three brothers were no longer on the city wall, the Yuan army would attack the city in no time. "Fifth brother, this is not an option after all. If you really have any plan, you'd better use it as soon as possible."

"After all, the Yuan army has [-] elite troops, but our army's more than [-] people are patched together. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be long nights and dreams."

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch tiger cubs?" Zhu Su said with a wry smile. "I have to hold on to the strong attack of the past few days. Only when Guan Tong thinks that we can't be easily annihilated, can I turn defeat into victory."

"It doesn't matter. In the past, Brother Wenzheng was able to stick to it for 85 days under such circumstances. I don't believe that the three of us together can't support the 5 people here."

Zhu Su said Wenzheng's brother was Zhu Wenzheng. In the first battle of Hongdu, Zhu Wenzheng resisted Chen Youliang's main force of 60 with tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops. He resisted for 85 days and made great contributions to the establishment of Ming Dynasty.Zhu Su took Zhu Wenzheng's achievements in the past as an example. Zhu Di and Zhu Xi were both refreshed. With the jewels of his senior from the Zhu family in front of him, the [-] yuan army in front of him seemed to have become nothing worth mentioning. .

On the second day, the Yuan army, which had already set up their camp, rolled out several hideous siege equipment, Zhu Su frowned: "The Yuan army still has this ability? In one night, they built a Such things, I thought these barbarians would only attack the city with ants!"

"That's the 'Huihui Cannon', which was originally the specialty of the Yuan Army. With this stone cannon, the Yuan Army used to cross the Western Continent, and they did not know how many lands in the West and the West, as well as the cities of the Song Dynasty." After all, it is still the history of war that Zhu Di knows. More, looking at those "catapults" outside the city, he popularized science to Zhu Su.Only then did Zhu Su know that the Japanese army in the past did not just rely on riding and shooting in Europe and Asia. It was also a specialty of the Yuan army to make "returning cannons" for attacking the city.

"However, the accuracy of the shot was extremely poor that time. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to care about it." Zhu Di continued to popularize science.

Before the words fell, there was a sudden "bang", and the whole city tower shook suddenly. A huge stone directly cut half of the city tower into the air, and the collapsed beams and sawdust flew everywhere.

"Your Highness!" The Ming army on the city wall was shocked, Chang Mao Di Meng and other generals rushed towards the half-collapsed city tower like crazy.

"Everyone is in his position!" However, in the dust, the not-so-tall body of His Royal Highness Zhu Su gradually emerged from the dust.His Highness yelled: "The battle is imminent, how can you leave your post without authorization? If you admit that you are defeated by these local chickens and dogs outside the city, you will just run away when you are in battle!"

"My brothers and I are all the sons of the real dragon emperor, with our own heaven and earth and the blessing of the thousand-year-old Chinese ancestor's heroic soul, how could we be injured by a mere cannon stone?" As he said, he waved the dust domineeringly, and sat back on the chair in two or three steps. Youzi calmly poured out a cup of tea from the table.

"..." Without the cover of the ceiling and walls, the entire Ming army saw the Zhu family brothers' appearance more clearly at this time.

Seeing that His Highness was still sitting and drinking tea calmly, the morale of the three armies was immediately boosted: "Oh! Your Highness King Wu!"

"Your Highness is blessed by the heroic souls of the Chinese ancestors, and we will be victorious without defeat!"

"Your Highness has armored soldiers! I want to show His Highness how strong I am!"

"Mere Yuangou, set up a few stone cannons to scare who? Come up! Let me show you what the grandpas are doing!"

"Fifth, I really have you." Zhu Xi sat on the chair.When the boulder flew towards him just now, he was frightened and rolled off the chair. He just got up from the ground at this time. Fortunately, the dust was so large that no one saw him. "My legs are so weak. You can still talk nonsense in this situation. We just walked through the gate of hell!"

"How are you, fourth?"

"I'm almost the same..." Zhu Di also looked ashamed. "Although I wanted to get up and say something just now, my mind was empty for a while, and I didn't know how to boost morale. It's still the fifth brother who is amazing. Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face, and he still poured tea for himself..."

"Hey, fifth brother, what's the matter with you?" He was surprised to find that Zhu Lao Wu's face was ashamed at this moment.

"Bah... bah bah, in order to hide the weakness of the legs, I wanted to sit down and drink a bowl of tea to calm my shock, but I didn't expect that the tea was full of dirt... I'm dead!" Zhu Su spat on the ground frantically. "Grandma, damn Yuangou, you can hit it so accurately... If we stay here, they won't shoot us again, just take us all at once?"

Zhu Su wanted to slip away.
