First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Before they could fully withdraw the return gun, another round of shooting arrived. Tianwan's soldiers were so frightened that their parents screamed and ran away, leaving behind several broken bodies again.

From this moment on, Zhu's army began to output steadily, constantly bombarding the city walls of Hongdu.

I don't know who built this Hongdu city, it is absolutely impenetrable, and it still stands in the face of Zhu's army's crazy bombardment for five consecutive days.

It's just that some city wall bricks have fallen off in pieces, and some cracks have appeared in some imperceptible places.

This is a sign that the city wall will not be able to support it. As long as it is beaten down, it will eventually be knocked open.

The soldiers in the city were trembling, as if facing an enemy every moment.

But today's situation is a bit special. Near noon, Zhu Jiajun actually stopped shooting half an hour earlier.

Just when they couldn't figure out what was going on, a faint scent floated into the city along with the wind.On the artillery position of Zhu's army, more than a dozen huge iron pots suddenly appeared.

The inside was full of braised pork, and Zhu Wenzheng shouted excitedly, "Eat! Eat hard! There's plenty of braised pork! When you're full, turn around and beat me hard!"

Chapter 241 What a miserable defeat

Zhu's army's cannon carriages were able to fight against the Hongdu defenders, and even the food was definitely better.

It is both murderous and heartbreaking.

This hand is really ruthless.

But we are richer, we eat better, and we use better weapons. Is there anything wrong with that?

Zhu Jiajun is not only doing a good job in equalizing the land, but also in the field of military settlements.

Originally, Zhu's army only asked the second-class battalion to grow more fields, but after crossing the river, some first-class battalions quit.Not to mention others, Xu Da is the most active.

He told his subordinates that fighting must be done, and farming must be done even more!

If this person can do it, he can do it, he can do it, he can do it, he can do it.If it doesn't work, it won't work, it won't work, it won't work. .

We all want to be No.1 in fighting and farming!

Xu Da went off in person and took the lead in farming.

He didn't do this on a whim, because farming is so delicious.

At present, Li Shanchang's side has sufficient supply of military food, and the food produced by the military village can be used for other purposes.For example, Chang Yuchun, he suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang would agree to make wine in the army... But because of this, Old Zhu scolded Chang Yuchun for half an hour.

This is not over yet, Old Zhu Leng asked Chang Yuchun to write a [-]-word self-criticism and read it aloud in front of all the commanders.

Deep reflection, thorough review!

As a leading general, don't you understand the importance of military orders?

No wine, just no.

No one can break the rules.

Hu Sanshe's case is ahead, and it will be the same in the future. Anyone who dares to make wine without permission will be punished without mercy!

Zhu Yuanzhang's resolute attitude frightened the generals below.But it doesn't matter, if you don't make wine, you can feed more chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, eat more meat, and raise the soldiers to be strong.

Basically, the young soldiers who entered the Zhu's army could gain more than [-] catties in half a year, and those who were not full could even grow a little taller.

After returning home, relatives and neighbors will be shocked.

He turned out to be a different person!

Tall and majestic, walking, sitting and lying down, with high momentum... Where can I find such a young man?

Many soldiers of Zhu's army, as long as they go home, a lot of matchmakers will come to their door on their own initiative, and there is an endless stream of marriage proposals.

How should I put it, as long as you join the Zhu family army, you will basically not have to worry about not having a daughter-in-law!

As long as you put on the charcoal-red mandarin duck battle jacket, you will be the most beautiful boy in the country!

There is no way, this is where Zhu Jiajun's confidence lies.

The siege of Hongdu soon became a stage for Zhu's army to show off their wealth.

The city is bombarded with trebuchets every day, and then there are three delicious meals every day. Just outside the city of Hongdu, the iron pot stove is full of fragrance, and the body and mind are double tortured.

Grandma, why are these Zhu Jiajun so rich?

Eating meat every day will make you sick!

The soldier opened his mouth wide, and stuffed it hard into a mouthful of rice.

click!

I bit the sand and lost a piece of my tooth!

Why am I so unlucky?

The soldier was about to cry. In fact, Hongdu City was not without food.Chen Youliang made great strides, fought so many victories, and captured quite a lot.

There is still enough food in Hongdu City.

But that's all, even if there is enough to eat, Tian Wan's soldiers will exploit layer by layer, and what the soldiers have in their hands will never be enough.

The military pay is discounted, and the military rations are mixed with sand.

In the past, it could be tolerated, but in today's situation, it has become torture.

Zhu Jiajun, who is full of food and drink, is full of energy, that is really scary.

They carried one or two hundred catties of projectiles and fired them continuously into Hongdu City, as if they were endless.

The appendages on the city wall of Hongdu, from the city gate towers to the crenels, the parapet... nothing that can be destroyed remains.Large pieces of masonry outside the city wall also fell off, exposing the soil inside.

Under the violent bombardment of the bullets, the soil slid down in pieces like an avalanche.

That's all, Zhu Jiajun actually made a lot of flower bombs.

On the tenth day, half of the projectiles were flowering projectiles. These projectiles were light in weight and had a long range. They could easily pass over the city wall and roll down into the city.

In Hongdu City, it was like purgatory.

"Uncle, we can't go on being beaten like this. I'm going out of town."

His nephew Kangtai rushed to complain to Hu Tingrui. Just yesterday, when he went to inspect the Fuzhou Gate, a flower bomb dropped not far away, the gunpowder exploded, and high-temperature air waves hit his face.

Kangtai's beard and eyebrows were all burned off.

Fortunately, there is still a little distance, otherwise he would be swallowed.

It's just that he is in a mess now, before his eyebrows and beard grow, his face is like a boiled egg with the skin peeled off, it's funny and pitiful.

Really can't go on like this, otherwise after a few more days, maybe ten days, maybe half a month, Hongdu will definitely fall!

Hu Tingrui frowned, "You want to leave the city? But you have to know that Zhu's army is not that easy to deal with. They have already repaired the city wall. What if they fall into the trap?"

Kang Tai sneered, "Uncle, you haven't seen it yet, isn't the Zhu family's army bullying us just because of their wealth and wealth? When it comes to fighting, they definitely can't do it. Let your nephew teach them well!"

Hu Tingrui hesitated again and again, and finally nodded, but he still ordered: "You must not underestimate the enemy. Since Zhu Yuanzhang crossed the river, every attack must be captured, and the battle must be conquered. It is not easy to deal with."

Kang Tai didn't care, "That's because he didn't meet us, look at it uncle!"

This guy mobilized three thousand elites, each with a short knife and sharp blade, and came down from Hongdu City under the cover of night.

Then he quickly swam across the moat and rushed directly to the city built by Zhu's army.

The closest distance between the two sides was only a few hundred steps. When they crossed the moat, the distance became even closer. As long as they charged, they could get close to Zhu's army, and then they would be caught off guard.

Kangtai took the lead in the charge, and just when victory was in sight, suddenly the cries of big geese sounded inside and outside Zhu's army's city walls.

At this moment, Kangtai was confused, shouldn't he be barking?

What is the goose call?

Kang Tai didn't know, it was Zhang Ximeng's handwriting.

It is normal for the army to keep some dogs to keep watch at night and prevent the enemy from attacking them... But Zhang Ximeng discovered that the Zhu family's army would have the same effect after raising enough chickens, ducks and geese.

Especially the grumpy goose!

I believe that many people have the painful experience of being chased and killed by geese when they were young, right?

The ferocious gander, in the village, is definitely a bully-level existence, kicking horizontally and vertically, as if there is nothing he dare not do.

Not to mention people, even puppies and cattle, as long as the goose gets angry, it will rush up, stretch its neck, and bite it hard.Whether you can win or not, what you need is the strength to fight against the sky!

In fact, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, geese are not low. Weasels can steal chickens, but have you ever seen a goose?

The big goose has serrated teeth in its beak, and it is very powerful. If it bites down and lands on a person, a large piece will be bruised and purple. Smaller animals may even die under the goose's beak.

Zhang Ximeng studied for a long time, and he even came up with the bad idea of ​​using the big goose as a guard.

The big guys didn't approve of it at first, but after using it, everyone said...it smells so good!

The alertness of big geese is no worse than that of dogs... and big geese are cheap, eat less, and have enough numbers to move in groups.

Imagine someone sneaking up on a barracks. If there are only a few dogs, there are too many ways to get rid of the dogs and prevent them from making noise.

But with Big Goose, the situation is different.

At least ten or eight big geese screamed desperately when they met people approaching. Who has the ability to get rid of a few geese at once?

No matter what method is used, there will always be geese who slip through the net!

From the perspective of vigilance, geese are indeed better than dogs.

And goose is not only easy to use, but also more delicious!

It can be sent along with the military rations, used as reserve rations, and stewed if you want to eat it. Before stewing, you can still watch the night honestly... May I ask if there is such a cost-effective food?

No, brother goose made a great contribution today. After some geese croaked, suddenly the torches were everywhere, bright as day.Hundreds of crossbow arrows protruded from Zhu's army's wall!

"put!"

A dense rain of arrows rushed towards us.

Kangtai was stunned. In order to sneak attack, his soldiers were all black-clothed short soldiers, not even wearing armor, at most they were wearing armor.

How can this protection ability block the overwhelming crossbow arrows.

Almost instantly, hundreds of people fell to the ground with arrows, and the sound of wailing was endless.

Kangtai was also shot with an arrow in the shoulder, and he almost fainted from the pain.

"Quick, go back!"

But at this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded from Zhu's army's camp.

A ready-to-go cavalry set off!

Chang Yuchun took the lead and rushed out from the left wing.

His eyes lit up.

Grandson, after waiting for you for so many days, I thought you dare not come out!

"Kill me!"

Chang Yuchun took the lead, and on the other side, Hu Dahai also led [-] soldiers to fight out. With a sharp knife in his hand and heavy armor on his body, he slammed into the middle of Tianwan's soldiers and horses.

The battle quickly turned into a massacre.

Chang Yuchun ran amok, like driving frightened sheep, cutting Tianwan's soldiers and horses into small pieces.Then Hu Dahai came to kill them, and they waved sharp axes, perfectly putting on a luxurious performance of harvesting heads.

Blood splattered, wailing was shrill, human heads rolled, and blood flowed like a river!

Just outside the city of Hongdu, Zhu Jiajun taught Tian Wanbing a lesson with an overwhelming attitude. I am not only richer than you, but also better at fighting than you!

The drums of war are rumbling and hearty.

Zhu's army chased and killed them recklessly, Tianwan's remnant soldiers retreated in front of the moat in a hurry, and people fled into the river like dumplings.

Because of panic and trampling on each other, after some people fell into the water, they fell into the mud and couldn't move at all. They could only trample the people behind them into the water and drowned alive.

Behind them was the Zhu family's army chasing and killing them. People ran for their lives desperately.

There are a total of 800 elites, and less than [-] returned to Hongdu.

Hu Tingrui's heart is going to be broken, these people are all his and Chen Youliang's fellow countrymen, not only elites, but also confidantes!

"Kangtai, where is Kangtai? I want to kill him!"

Hu Tingrui roared with red eyeballs, his eyes turned black, and his heart ached to death.

It was already dawn at this time, and someone discovered that there was a person hanging on the trebuchet rack on Zhu Jiajun's side.
