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

Chapter 635: Being able to use geometry
The leader of the Mongols was changed from the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to the Great Khan of Oara. While regaining the "wildness" of the grassland people, they also left behind many of the technologies that the Yuan Dynasty had illuminated over the past hundred years.While Yuan Ting was still there, Yuan soldiers had actually learned to use firearms, and Yuan's catapult "Hui Hui Pao" and siege vehicle "Lü Gong Cha" were also very sophisticated, which could be said to be the most powerful tools for destroying cities and demolishing villages in this era. Sharp weapons.

However, in the hands of Yesudier, because Yesudier himself lived in the grassland for a long time and did not pay attention to technology and craftsmen, the siege method of the Oara soldiers actually degraded to a situation that was worse than that in the Genghis Khan era.

The Wala soldiers were indeed fierce and brave when riding on their horses and shooting arrows, but facing the not-so-high city wall of Hami City, there were not many better ways besides dismounting their horses and attacking the city with ants. ,

"I thought Wala Khan was so fierce, but it turned out to be just like this. I didn't see that he had any tricks!" Wang Xian, the defender of the east city wall, once again repelled Yesudier's attack, and it was like a tidal wave towards the city. The generally faded Wala man spat fiercely.He was the Han general who welcomed Zhu Di into the city that day. Although he was a general promoted by Yao Guangxiao as a national advisor, he was not actually from the military.

Investigating his identity, he was actually a knight-errant who belonged to the "Qin Gang" in the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the tense situation in the northwest, newspapers also publicized the rise of Timur's empire in order to broaden the horizons of the people.Therefore, in the eyes of many common people and knights, the Timur Khanate was the largest rival to China in the competition for the territory of the previous dynasty.Many people in the Qin Gang who were influenced by She Condor and Tianlong went to the northwest one after another to inquire about the movements of the Timurid Kingdom and the Li Khanate, hoping to regain the Western Region for the Chinese nation and pacify powerful enemies. Do your part.

Wang Xianzheng is the best among these people. Because he is good at martial arts, he even risked his life to bring important news to the Ming Dynasty that "Timur's empire is conspiring with Oara in the northwest", so he is quite famous among the knights. , so he was recruited by Yao Guangxiao to recruit knights for Yao Guangxiao in order to seize the power of Hami.

He was also a guest minister of the "Qin Gang" and once called Zhu Fang a brother-in-law.Therefore, when he first met Zhu Di, he would say something like "If I tell you the identity of my boss, I will probably shock you."

"It was just a test before. The main force of the Wala army has not moved yet, and those sent to attack the city are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled." Next to Wang Xian, the calmer Zhang Yu looked worried. "I think tomorrow, Wala will definitely attack in a big way. How long can Hami's short city wall be able to block it? Don't be careless, don't be careless..."

"How do you know that the Wala people will attack the city tomorrow?" Wang Xian didn't believe it.

"If we don't attack the city, it will get cold." Zhang Yu said very matter-of-factly. "It will be detrimental to Wala if we delay it any longer. Wala will naturally use all its strength to seize the city of Hami as soon as possible. After that, it will either loot supplies and return eastward, or spend the harsh winter in Hami first. In short, it will be impossible I am willing to freeze and starve in the wilderness."

"All in all, Wala must attack by force before the weather turns cold."

Mr. Wang seemed to understand what he was saying. Seeing that what Zhang Yu said seemed to be an extremely common thing, he nodded in agreement.After all, he is not a general on the battlefield. When it comes to leading troops in battle, he only knows how to block them. Looking at Zhang Yu at this time, he felt that the generals of the imperial court were indeed unpredictable.

But it doesn't matter, these generals have their own way of being a general, and people like myself, who are Jianghu, naturally have their own way of "chivalry".

Zhang Yu had no intention to take into account what Wang Xian was thinking. At this time, he was already worried.To be honest, he didn't care whether he could defend Hami City. What worried him most was Zhu Di's safety.

But Zhu Di had already made up his mind to drag Yesudier here, so he couldn't say anything more.

His Highness has shown great kindness to me, but there is nothing he can do about it. All he needs to do is risk his life to save His Highness from the siege.

"Zhang Yu, Mr. Wang." While he was thinking, he saw Zhu Di in armor from a distance, walking quickly.

Zhang Yu quickly saluted. Wang Xian was from Jianghu, so he didn't stick to these details. However, Zhu Di was the brother of his leader Zhu Fang, so he awkwardly followed Zhang Yu's example and knelt down.Zhu Di didn't care about their lack of etiquette. He just called them to come closer and said to them:
"Mr. Wang... do you dare to open the city gate with me tomorrow and go out to fight with Navarre Khan?" Hearing this, Mr. Wang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even his voice rose a little higher. "Dare! How dare you not! We've been guarding the city for half a month and it's so suffocating! It's time to leave the city and kill that son of a bitch who takes advantage of others by taking a bird name!"

"A bird's name that takes advantage of people?" Zhu Di even had the time to say something.

"The name of the bird of Nawala Khan is called Yasu Daddy... Damn it, if there is a dad in the name, isn't this taking advantage of others?"

"I'm not going to change his bird name into Yesujieer or Yesumeier!" Wang Xian said angrily.

"Then do you still want to prostitute this girl?" Zhu Di laughed loudly. The heroic spirit of the Ming Dynasty was so extraordinary that even the arrogant Wala Khan did not look down on him. Zhu Di liked to hear this.

However, Zhang Yu was not happy. During this journey, His Highness King Yan had learned a lot of vulgar slang. How could he look like a royal nobleman?Just as he was about to persuade him, Zhu Di turned to him and said:
"It's time. Zhang Yu, you go to select hundreds of dead men of our Han family tonight."

"When Ye Su Die'er attacks the city tomorrow, I will find an opportunity for you to break out. Then, you will go to Suzhou Guards and Wei Gong to find reinforcements!"

They dragged Yesudier here and then mobilized the army to encircle and suppress him. This was the approach they had discussed long ago.

Zhang Yu's brows furrowed deeply, "Did His Highness want to go out of the city and use his body as a bait to find a chance for the general to break out? No way. The general only wants to guard the city for His Highness, and besides, the siege of Sudie'er is very tight, so how could this happen? What flaw..."

"It will be there tomorrow." Zhu Di's words seemed extremely certain. Seeing Zhang Yu's confusion, Zhu Di said: "Zhang Yu, do you know that when I came to Xu Shuai's army, Xu Shuai gave me the first lesson on the art of war?" , what is it?”

"What is it?" Zhang Yu was also very curious about the tactics of Xu Da, the No. 1 general in the world.

"It's 'capable of geometry'." Zhu Di said.

"How much can it be?" Zhang Yu was puzzled.Mr. Wang, who was listening quietly and thinking that he might be able to learn something, also looked confused.

"The so-called ability to generals has an allusion in history." Zhu Di smiled. Now he seems quite confident in military matters.

"During the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and Han Xin had a question about whether the generals could do it. Han Xin said, 'Each one has his or her own differences.' Ordinary generals could only 'capable of a few thousand', and even Liu Bang could only 'capable of a hundred thousand'. And he Han Xin himself believes that 'the more, the merrier'."

"Even Liu Bang can only 'general one hundred thousand', but now Sudie'er is coming in force, leading an army of hundreds of thousands to besiege the city. But is it possible for his 'general ability' to reach this 'number of one hundred thousand'?" Zhu Di said .
