I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

In this way, he was often messed up by the bastards of Duoyan's 3 guards, and sometimes even had to choose to retreat to protect the logistics line due to logistical reasons.

Therefore, for the ancient army, if there is a stable logistics line, half of the battle is already won.

"Old Lion!"

After looking at the enemy's city wall defense for a while, Jiang Huai pondered for a moment, and explained to the commander of the First Army beside him.

"You take the people of your legion back to rest, and then I will let the troops keep harassing them, but they just ring and don't attack."

"After going down like this more than a dozen times in a row, plus we fought with them for a day and a night, the enemy's vigilance will definitely relax."

"Tomorrow at dawn, you and your brothers from the legion will directly launch a fierce attack when the enemy is relaxed and tired, and try to take this city before dawn."

"As ordered!"

The head of the First Army did not raise any objections, and withdrew with the First Army, which had been fighting all night, in response.

As soon as the Shenji Battalion retreated, excited cheers resounded from the enemy walls.

Hearing the cheers in the distance, Jiang Huai chuckled, raised his hand and gave the order to shell.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Artillery Regiment of the Shenji Battalion launched a ferocious bombardment, instantly hitting the cheering soldiers from the Western Regions on the opposite wall and fleeing with their heads in their arms.

The shelling went on for half an hour, and with the sound of a horn, the Second Army, which had switched positions with the First Army, was divided into several batches and began to attack in scattered lines.

Because they received orders from above, they did not get close to the enemy's city wall. They were just outside the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, and shot at the wall within the range of the rifle in their hands.

The first batch fought for a while, and when they saw that the opponent was no longer showing their heads, they withdrew.

The defenders on the city heard that there was no movement, and looked at it curiously. Seeing that the enemy had retreated, they cheered again.

But as soon as the cheers sounded, the bombardment came again, and then the guys retracted their heads again. When the shelling was over, the second echelon of the Second Army had reached the shooting position and began the steps of gun practice.

That's right, it's gun practice.

Due to the scarcity of new types of ammunition, many soldiers did not shoot many times after getting their guns, and there were fewer opportunities to shoot at people in this kind of actual combat.

So Jianghuai withdrew the First Army, which was mostly veterans, and let them rest first, preparing for a tough battle at night.

The Second Army, which has a large number of recruits, is responsible for harassment during the day, and by the way, let these recruits practice marksmanship again.

The fighting started in the morning and continued into the early hours of the morning.

Firework bombs were shot into the sky one after another, bringing a glimmer of light in this dark night.

Every time the fireworks shells light up, there is a burst of intense gunshots.

The defenders of the Western Regions on the city stood ready at the beginning, defending against the enemy's attack at any time.

But as the afternoon passed, the enemy did not launch a violent attack. The soldiers of the Western Regions who were hiding from the enemy's bullets behind the city wall gradually relaxed their spirits.

Coupled with the fighting that took place yesterday and last night, many people were already exhausted.

With this slack in spirit, sleepiness and exhaustion came to his head instantly.

More and more soldiers from the Western Regions just leaned against the city wall, listening to the crackling of bullets outside the wall, and fell asleep.

Even if he was woken up by the patrolling officer, he leaned back and continued to sleep as soon as the other party left.

In the early hours of the morning, the intense gunfire slowly stopped.

The sudden silence made many people uncomfortable, and the soldiers from the Western Regions did not dare to look out. They could only look outside the city wall through some gaps.

It's a pity that at this time, dawn is the darkest moment, the moon and stars in the sky have already fallen, and it's so dark in the middle of winter outside that you can't see clearly at all.

"These Ming people are finally tired, so I guess they should go back and rest!"

Seeing the officer looking vigilantly out of the gap, some soldiers muttered a few words in a low voice, then leaned against the wall, holding their weapons and snoring.

The vigilant officers waited for a while, seeing that there was really no movement outside, and then looked around where the snoring sound was coming from, and slowly relaxed their vigilance.

The reason why the city wall is also pitch black is because as long as there is a fire, the artillerymen of the Ming army on the opposite side will directly blast towards the fire pile.

After suffering a loss last night, the Western Regions have also learned to be smart, and no shiny objects are allowed to appear on the city walls.

After waiting for a while, until there was a slight light in the east, the officer also felt that the Ming army should go back to rest, coupled with mental exhaustion, he sat on the wall and squinted his eyes to rest.

Including today and night, this battle has been fought for two days and two nights, and even the hard-hitting people can't stand it.

If it weren't for the supervising team behind them, these soldiers from the Western Regions on the city wall would have run away their mothers long ago.

Soon there was a sound of snoring on the city wall, which spread far and far in this silent night.

Hundreds of meters away from the city wall, the soldiers of the First Legion who rested and had a full meal left all the things that could make noise on their bodies in the barracks, followed their legion commander, and slowly crawled towards the city wall.

In front of them, nearly a hundred soldiers carrying explosive packs were advancing rapidly.

The city is built of stone, it can be said to be impenetrable.

In order to blow up the city wall in one fell swoop, Jianghuai directly used hundreds of packs of explosives.

He didn't believe it if he didn't, thousands of catties of explosives were added together, and there was a city wall that couldn't be blown apart.

He didn't count on the direction of the city gate.

This is an important checkpoint. The guys from the Western Regions have set up 4 heavy gates at the city gate.

Yesterday, the blaster rushed over and killed several batches before blasting the first jack gate.

Seeing that the city gate might be breached, the guys from the Western Regions blocked the city gate tightly with boulders and sand.

The jack gate is combined with huge rocks and sand, and it is not so difficult to blast it open.

In addition, there are several horse-faced walls and towers in the direction of the city gate, which is the place where the enemy's attack power is maximized.

Instead of letting soldiers go there to die, it is better to try to blast the city wall.

Thinking back to when they first attacked the Wa Kingdom, the Marine Corps blasted through several gaps in the city wall before they managed to get in.

Nearly a hundred blasters crawled forward little by little, for fear of making a big noise and being discovered by the enemies on the tower.

The team leader, the captain, kept looking back at the eastern sky.

Seeing that the brightness in the east was getting higher and higher, he, who had always been calm, felt urgency in his heart.

Once it was dawn in the east, these blasters who didn't even have armor in order not to make a sound, once they were discovered by the enemy, they would definitely be shot as hedgehogs in the first place.

Time passed slowly, the sky in the east was getting brighter and brighter, and there were faint shouts and curses from officers above the city tower.

Looking at the city wall that was so close, the blasters sped up their crawl.

After reaching the base of the wall, a group of people quickly piled up the explosive packs under the wall hand and foot.

This is a selected blasting point.

After two days of being bombarded by artillery fire, the city wall has already had a lot of cracks.

The eastern sky has slowly lit up, and the first ray of sunlight has faintly risen from the horizon.

There was not enough time to retreat, the blasting captain gritted his teeth and ignited the fuse, and ran back with the brothers behind him.

"There are enemies, hurry up... shoot and shoot!"

The run of the blaster alarmed the vigilance of the enemies on the city wall.

The soldiers who were still in the lost lake hurriedly picked up the bows and arrows beside them, and were about to shoot arrows at the blasters who were running wildly.

"Bang bang bang..."

A row of gunshots rang out from a hundred paces away, and some archers from the Western Regions who had just emerged had their heads exploded and fell down without a word.

"Damn it, the enemy is attacking, pay attention to defense!"

Looking at the archer lying beside him with a bloody hole in his head, an officer from the Western Regions cursed in a low voice and yelled loudly at the soldiers to take precautions.

Suddenly, he felt the ground tremble slightly, and before he could react, his body flew into the air, and he lost consciousness instantly.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The huge explosion sound spread far and wide under the expansion of the canyon.

Chali lost a section of the city wall that was bombarded with cracks, and was directly blasted into the sky by thousands of catties of explosives.

"kill!"

In the front row, the elder lion of the first legion, ignoring the broken bricks, gravel and sand flying down from above his head, pulled out his knife and swung forward fiercely, and was the first to rush forward.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the First Legion, who had a rest overnight and had a good meal, drew out their bayonets and put them on the muzzles of their guns. They roared loudly, followed their regiment commander, and rushed towards the gap filled with smoke and dust.

One side's morale is like a rainbow, and the other side's body and mind are exhausted.

The two sides met in the gap, and the officers of the Shenji Battalion who rushed to the front looked at the enemies who were still rushing up with panic, raised their revolvers and shot.

The sounds of killing, gunshots, roars, and screams all mixed together.

Jiang Huai, who commanded the army in the rear, looked at the large troops of the First Army Corps that had rushed into the city, put down his binoculars, and gave the order for a full-scale attack with a smile.

Chapter 270: You have Zhang Liangji, and I have bridge ladders, it's not sure who cheats who

"Your Highness, we have already broken through the fork, and the army has advanced to the top. Before the subordinates came down, Commander Jiang Temporary ordered several attacks, but they all returned without success."

"Commander Jiang temporarily asked his subordinates to tell you that they may not be able to make it in a short time. I hope you are fully prepared."

"In addition, Jiang Temporary Commander also suggested that if there is a danger of breaking the city, I hope you will put your own safety first."

"If the Western Region is gone, you can take it again. You are the backbone of Daming, so nothing can happen!"

Listening to the report from the messenger sent by Jianghuai on the walkie-talkie, Zhu Zhangui glanced at the troops from the Western Regions who had begun to gather outside the city, and replied calmly.

"Go back and tell Jiang Huai not to be under pressure. I have enough food, grass and troops here, and it will be no problem to block it for a year or so!"

"As for my safety, let him rest assured that the person who can kill me has not yet been born."

Retracting the walkie-talkie, Zhu Zhangui walked to the hidden observation platform and looked at the Western Region Legion that was slowly rolling over with various siege weapons in the distance.

After nearly a month of preparations, the guys on the opposite side finally finished their preparations. They drove the army out of the camp this morning and put them in a state of preparation to attack.

In ancient wars, there were very few battles to directly bite the bullet and attack the city, and most of them were based on siege or other methods.

Sun Tzu has something to say in the Art of War.

The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the soldiers, and the second is to attack the city.The method of siege is a last resort.

Even Sun Tzu, a master of the art of war, said that the siege was a last resort, and one can imagine how difficult it is to siege the city.

Zhu Zhangui has been in Daming for so many years, and he has experienced hundreds of wars, big and small, but the real siege battle is less than 1/10.

In his memory, the siege battles he fought were only those two or three battles.

As for the defense, this was the first time the big girl got on the sedan chair.

As far as pressure is concerned, it is still a little bit.

Zhu Zhangui knew that it was difficult to siege a city, and so did Wai Si in his heart.

If he had a choice, he would choose to besiege, but the spies in the rear kept reporting how far the main force of the Ming army had entered and when they would break through the small town again.Like a whip, it kept urging him behind his buttocks.

Fear is the capital of the king. Although the population is dense, there is also a lot of food stored.

If we rely on siege, there is absolutely no hope of breaking the city without giving it a year or a half.

Although relying on siege can reduce casualties, the Ming army did not give him this time.

According to the news he received, not only the Shenji Battalion was approaching him, but also on the northern grassland, the Emperor Ming had sent an army of 5 troops. Under the leadership of Han King Zhu Gaoxu, they were coming to reinforce him.

He didn't have much time, and he wanted to take down Zhu Zhangui's life-saving talisman before Kuya and the defenders in other places died.

So attacking is his only choice, and it is also a choice he must make.

Looking up at the sun, which was already three poles above the sun, Waisi took a deep breath, pulled out the golden knife at his waist and swiped it obliquely forward.

"attack!"

"Woooooooo..."

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong..."

The advancing horns and drums sounded, and the troops under Waisi who were preparing to attack pushed all kinds of siege equipment and marched slowly towards the Pala city wall with shouts.

"Son-in-law, can you stand it?"

Seeing the enemy's troops approaching slowly, the lost son Ma Hama, who also changed into a suit of armor and went up to the city wall to help his grandson-in-law defend the city, felt a little nervous for no reason.
