Chapter 931: The Last Battle
Zhu Yousan wore a crown garment and met all the generals.△
The weather is hot today, and wearing such a tight and thick dress made him sweat profusely.
The letters of Hao Fenglou's peace talks were not delivered to Jinling, but fell into Zhu Youzhu's hands.
Originally, Zhu Youzun was still a little nervous when he left Beijing, but now, after seeing this letter, he calmed down.
This is true for people. When they see the other party showing weakness, they will inevitably say a few bold words. Even Zhu Youzhuan is obviously not immune to the vulgarity. He smiled coldly and tore the letter to pieces before and said, "The traitors, who were arrogant and domineering before, are now here in person. It seems that they are scared. It's just a pity that the court had a heart to open up their minds before, but they are ungrateful. Now I am in charge of the army and crushing the Zhenjiang and these thieves into powder. They want to negotiate peace..."
Zhu Youzhu looked full of confidence and continued, "It's just a pity that what I want now is their dog heads. It's not so easy to negotiate peace."
He turned around, and the dragon and tiger steps really had the momentum of a hero. He immediately said to several military officials in the tent: "When can we attack the city?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be delayed for two more days..."
"Two days..." Zhu Youzhu couldn't help frowning, looking very dissatisfied: "What are you cooking? Now the thieves are right in front of you. How can I let them survive? I will pass on my will. Don't delay any more. I will attack the city at dawn tomorrow."
"His Majesty……"
Zhu Youzhu felt that his majesty was provoked, which made him very dissatisfied. In the past, in the palace, everything had to be relied on Empress Dowager Xu. Although he was in power since then, many things were done by his father. Now that he has left Jinling, it seems that someone doesn’t take him seriously, so Zhu Youzhu sneered: “What, what else do you want to say?”
"Your Majesty is wise, so I'll go and pass the order."
Zhu Youzhun's face looked a little better, and soon he became excited. No matter what, he was also a man. Although he was the emperor, he only heard every day that His Majesty was rich in all over the world and had millions of herdsmen. But he had no idea how to rule the world. After all, he lived in the small cave of the Forbidden City, and now he finally left Beijing, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops and horses, and his every move attracted countless attention. This feeling really made him feel comfortable to his bones.
Besides, it seems that the Lang San army in the city is mostly just a piece of paper tiger. When the city is broken, it will destroy the bandits, and the people in the world will be praised for their literary achievements and martial ethics.
Therefore, he seemed excited and ready to look. He was wearing golden armor and hurriedly rode his horse to patrol the camp.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The next day, the genius passed by dawn, and the morning mist had not yet dissipated. The morning light was blocked by the haze, and only a little light was revealed.
In the quiet Zhenjiang City, sharp whistles suddenly came.
This is a whistle dedicated to whistle detection. The sound is two long and two short, and there is only one message sent - the enemy is sieging the city.
Countless Lang San soldiers woke up from their sleep, and then, the battalion officials and team officials roared: "Get together, gather, prepare for the battle!"
Countless figures were shaking. They did not take off their military uniforms when they were sleeping, and all their equipment was placed at their feet. The assembly of Lang San's army has always been known for its speed. Soon, the battalions returned to their positions and entered their respective combat positions.
Hao Fenglou had already climbed the city tower, with a thin mist from a high place. Looking from a distance, the crowds of people and horses rushed over like dark clouds.
He did not expect the Ming army to attack the city in such a hasty manner, because in advance, his prediction was that the Ming army should still need some rest time, but now they are here.
This is not bad news for Hao Fenglou. It is better to promote attack than the opponent who is prepared.
The battle begins.
First, the cannons roared, and the artillery under the city began to roar. Hao Fenglou seemed not nervous about this. The other party fired a hasty shot. It can be seen that the artillery team is not of high quality. Obviously, the Ming army fired a gun outside the effective range. Although this approach seems to be very powerful, it is actually only limited to intimidation. Several stray bullets did hit the city wall, but did not cause real substantial damage.
The Lang San army on the city wall was waiting for breath. Although several people were blown away by stray bullets, everyone didn't care.
The Ming army siege finally reached a distance of hundreds of feet below the city. At this time, the Lang Son army's artillery finally rang out. With the roar, the rain flew, and instantly tore through the official army where the siege was torn apart. The scattered men and horses had to scatter to alleviate casualties. Then they were greeted by rows of muskets.
They tried to fight back with muskets, but they were extremely reluctant. The Lang Son Army's condescending advantages of muskets were revealed, and the situation was almost one-sided.
The first batch of Ming troops repelled, then the second batch flocked forward, and then the third batch.
The battle of siege lasted for a whole morning. In one morning, the Ming army organized seven sieges, but most of them ended in vain.
So they had no choice but to fire a few random shots, barely blew up a city wall, leaving thousands of corpses, and then retreated like a tide.
The air was filled with the breath of blood, making the sky look downstairs full of wild animals.
The arrogant Zhu Youzun watched the battle from a distance. He was full of confidence and complacent, but after a whole morning, his face changed.
This tragic battle was really different from what he imagined. He saw someone hit by a shell and flew up, but when he fell, he only had his broken limbs and his arms left. He saw blood rain sprinkling into the sky, then penetrated into the mud, gradually solidifying. He heard someone wailing. The terrifying sound of gunfire scared him to his face.
After a long time, he didn't say anything, but just rode on the divine horse under his seat, while the war horse was led by a eunuch. He maintained this posture for two hours.
Zhu Youzhun's face was pale. He had never seen such a scene for the first time in battle. He wanted to send out a series of decrees with great enthusiasm to show that his wisdom beads were holding, but from beginning to end, he didn't say a word, but just felt his mouth trembling uncontrollably.
When the battle ended, a military officer came forward and fell to the ground and said, "I am so humble that I am..." Zhu Youzhu came to his senses. He glanced at the military officer with a strange look, but he didn't say anything. He got off the horse silently, took a team of guards and returned to the central army's tent. However, when he returned to the tent, he took a sip of tea, which made him calm down and he suddenly became angry.
"Bastard, bastard... The bandits in the city were unscathed, but our dignified official army was seriously injured. Whatever these people do eat, the waste is all a group of waste!"
He was indeed angry because he suddenly thought that Hao Fenglou must have mocked him in the city at this time, which deeply hurt his self-esteem.
A eunuch next to him smiled and said, "Your Majesty, siege in the city has always been like this. The people in the city have the advantage of the territory. As long as the city is broken, then..."
"Is that?" After hearing this, Zhu Youzhu's eyes lit up and his arrogance returned to his arrogance. He said viciously: "Tomorrow begins, attacking the city from all directions. I want to see if Hao Fenglou has three heads and six arms. I want to take the head on his neck and let him know how powerful I am."
His chest was undulating, and he seemed to be very angry.
He did not go to patrol the camp for the next day, and he was either frightened or was still sulking.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Early the next morning, the battle to siege began again.
The Ming army's offensive was extremely fierce. They started attacking from all directions, so the guards were in danger. Hao Fenglou personally led the reserve team to help weak places at any time. The battle lasted for four hours. During these four hours, Hao Fenglou was almost exhausted and exhausted. On the east wall, a city road almost changed hands. Fortunately, Hao Fenglou brought the reserve team to supplement in time, so the Ming army did not use this to expand its advantage. However, many gaps have begun to appear in the city wall, which made Hao Fenglou feel worried.
As for the reconnaissance battalion, there was finally detailed information. In addition to the deployment of the Ming army, what Hao Fenglou paid the most attention to was one thing.
Zhu Youzhu's camp was in Shitou Ferry, and the emperor was in charge of the army. Hao Fenglou also heard of it, but he did not confirm it. Now that he learned that Zhu Youzhu was really here, Hao Fenglou squinted his eyes and was alone in the tent for more than an hour.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Come, call the generals, and come here to gather in one stick of incense."
Hao Fenglou issued an order, and it didn't take long before the camp officials arrived.
Hao Fenglou showed a relaxed look, looked around and said slowly: "You must have worked hard to defend the city. At this time, you should have had a good rest, but now, Zhenjiang is in danger. I invite you to come here, just for one thing..."
