Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 218 Bei Yuan Withdrew
The appearance of Zhu Qi, King of Liao, naturally overjoyed the entire Ming army defending Yi Nai Ji.

And Azha Shili also moved to the surrounding subordinates and said:

"There is such a brave person as His Royal Highness King Liao in the world. My Wuliangha's revival is just around the corner!"

Everyone knew that Zhu Qi, King of Liao, was the son-in-law of Azha Shili, and when he heard Azha Shili praise his son-in-law, of course, he followed suit and praised him immediately.

In fact, there is no need for these people from the grassland to praise the Liao King, and the people in Yinaiji have already praised him one after another.

If there is anyone who likes to follow the wind the most, it is undoubtedly the common people.

The main reason is that these days, the common people don't have any thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

What's more, it is still Yinaiji, a city outside the pass, where, besides the Han people, most of the people living in it are nomadic peoples on the grasslands.

They even have no loyalty to the Northern Yuan Emperor.

As long as someone can feed them and survive, they will be loyal.

Zhu Qi's reputation before was really too great. The common people worshiped these mysterious things very much. Now that they heard that Liao King Zhu Qi had come to Yinaiji, they naturally welcomed this powerful person.

But Zhu Qi, the worshiped King of Liao, was not in such a good mood.

He was forced to come to Yi Naiji, if possible, he still hopes to stay in Liaoyang City honestly.

Although Liaoyang City is not very safe, it is better than Yi Naiji, a city directly outside the Great Wall and directly facing the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

But with his thoughts like this, how could Zhu Yuanzhang let him get what he wanted?

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Liao Wang Zhu Qi is his good third son, a prince who can fight.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's wish is to hope that his sons can be literate and martial, as brave as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, and guard the frontier for Ming Dynasty.

As long as the sons are strong, the nomads of the grassland tribes will never be able to threaten the Daming country.

Zhu Yuanzhang's wish is beautiful, and history has indeed proved that he is capable of accomplishing this.

Among the eight great kings in the Hongwu Year of the Ming Dynasty, none of them was soft, and the most capable one was not even Zhu Di, the King of Yan.

Zhu Yuanzhang's thirteenth son, Ning Wang Zhu Quan, was also a fierce general capable of writing and martial arts.

Back then, he took Duoyan Sanwei to gallop on the grasslands, and the Beiyuan tribe who beat them cried for their fathers and mothers.

But now the most able to fight is naturally Liao King Zhu Qi, and Zhu Yuanzhang has to set up Zhu Qi as a model.

Naturally, Zhu Qi was also asked to go to the front line to supervise the battle.

Follow the Ming soldiers to fight against the main force of Beiyuan.

After all, Zhu Qi is now in his early 20s, and he has a family and a career in this grade, and has children. If he doesn't go to the front line to fight for the country, what kind of Zhu Yuanzhang's son is he?

After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict, Zhu Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and set off to Yinaiji.

Not long after arriving in Yi Nai Ji, Wang Baobao led Bei Yuan's army to attack Yi Nai Ji.

After two strong attacks, Zhu Qi saw that the battle of Shoucheng went smoothly, so he followed the advice of his generals and came to the city wall to condolence to the soldiers in person.

He had just climbed up the city wall when he discovered that Naha was leading the army to charge, and Zhu Qi was also very frightened, just when he poked his head out, he happened to see Naha who was charging ahead.

I don't know why, Naha only rushed half way out, and turned back with someone.

Zhu Qike breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that it was Wang Baobao who didn't want to waste his vitality under the city wall, so he retreated.

Zhu Qixin thought this way in his heart, and others could naturally see that this Naha was clearly afraid of His Royal Highness Liao Wang.

After seeing His Royal Highness King Liao appearing, he ran away immediately.

The other generals were also like this, but Zhu Qi felt that those generals were just flattering themselves when they said this.

In fact, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. He didn't think that he could scare others away just by showing his head. If it was really so scary.

From then on, whenever he fights Bei Yuan, he will show his head in advance, wouldn't it be beautiful.

What a fart, the people below are nowhere to be seen.

However, what those generals said seemed to Zhu Qi to be flattering, and Zhu Qi was too embarrassed to expose them face to face, so he just waved his hands, pretending to be indifferent.

Let everyone not get excited, sit down, it's just a routine operation.

Good fellow, when everyone saw His Highness Liao's calm appearance, each of them calmed down a lot in their hearts.

Originally, some generals were still a little worried when they saw that the Beiyuan army on the opposite side was more than twice as large as their own.

These worries, of course, disappeared at this time.

No matter what, the appearance of Zhu Qi from top to bottom dispelled their doubts, and they fought bravely one by one with high fighting spirit. This was a fact they saw.

And those generals naturally saw it in their eyes, and when they reported their military achievements in the future, they would naturally not miss this point.

What's more, as a prince, His Royal Highness Liao has the courage to appear on the frontline battlefield. This alone is enough to make everyone feel admirable.

But after Zhu Qi just showed his head and saw the other party retreating, he felt relieved.

Naturally, he couldn't retreat directly at this time, but gave an impassioned speech on the city wall to boost morale.

Zhu Qi's mouth skills are still somewhat knowledgable, but this side has just finished his speech and is about to go down.

But suddenly saw the sound of shouts coming from the front again, and saw a large number of Beiyuan soldiers rushing towards this side.

Good guy, didn't you play a wave just now?Why did you run over again?

Zhu Qiren was dumbfounded, but at this moment he could only pretend to be calm.

You must not show any timidity, after all, everyone is watching, and you still need your own face.

But Zhu Qixin was already waiting for those generals to persuade him to go down the city wall quickly.

In fact, some generals did suggest this, and soon a general said to Zhu Qi:

"His Royal Highness King Liao, the city wall is extremely dangerous, and it is better not to stay here with your precious body.

Go down quickly, I will escort you back down the city wall to a safe place to supervise the battle. "

"That's right, His Royal Highness King Liao is really too dangerous here."

"His Royal Highness King Liao, retreat quickly!"

The generals became more and more excited one by one.

But Zhu Qi must also understand the rules, it is impossible for someone to persuade him once and then go down.

Doesn't that seem very lacklustre, greedy for life and afraid of death? We have always given in three times and three times. This retreat of the city wall must have been prepared two or three times.

Not much, just refuse once, next time you invite me to go down, I will definitely go down straight away.

Because of this, Zhu Qi hesitated for a moment, and said resolutely:
"All the soldiers are still standing on the city wall. As a general, how can I leave my post without authorization and only care about my own safety?
When did they ever have no family?How come their lives are not precious?I will never go down, I want to live and die with them here! "

Good guy, after finishing these words, the lieutenant general and the general soldiers beside him cried.

Take a look, take a good look.

This is our His Royal Highness Liao Wang. He really deserves to be a good prince who loves the people like his own son.

And very brave, at this critical moment, the enemy has already launched a charge and is about to climb the city wall.

His Royal Highness the King of Liao still held his ground, showing no sign of retreating.

If it was someone else, he would have retreated to the back, hiding somewhere, and then giving orders from a distance.

Although generals on the battlefield should be like this to ensure the greatest combat effectiveness, but those soldiers don't understand them. They only know that if they can fight side by side with themselves, then the commander must be very loyal.

Even the commander is on the scene, if he still has to die, what chance is there for him to stand out?

After Zhu Qi's impassioned speech, he actually didn't think so much in his heart, he just thought about the normal three words and three concessions, and a little bit of acting.

Then when the people under him persuaded him to go down, he just pretended to be dragged down reluctantly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, Zhu Neng, who was beside me, immediately waved his hand and shouted:
"As expected of His Royal Highness Liao Wang, I knew that only His Royal Highness Liao Wang could have such bravery. The last general Zhu Neng swore that he would definitely protect His Royal Highness Liao Wang. If the enemy dared to get even half a step closer, he would be torn alive! "

When he yelled, the other generals around him also echoed, but no one said anything about escorting His Royal Highness King Liao down the city wall.

Zhu Qi had already turned around and was about to go down, but he suddenly froze.

They seemed to die on the city wall with him one by one, which made Zhu Qi feel that everyone was stupid.

What does this mean?Why don't you let me go down quickly?

But judging from what those generals meant, they obviously didn't intend to persuade him to go down anymore, and at this moment, Zhu Qi finally understood that he was shooting himself in the foot.

How nice it is to pretend to be forceful, just go straight down.

But the matter has come to this point, if you want to go on at this time, you will lose face.

In the future, I will hang around in Liaodong. The generals of the Liaodong Guard here are all here, so I can't lose face casually.

Zhu Qi could only bite the bullet and stand on the city wall, watching the dark mass of people charging towards him.

Wang Erhu was not particularly far away from His Royal Highness Liao Wang, of course there was a certain distance, so Wang Erhu didn't hear what His Royal Highness Liao said.

However, Liao King Zhu Qi rejected the requests of other generals and resolutely stayed on the city wall, and the news that he followed the soldiers to defend the city at the forefront was passed on as soon as possible.

After all, how could those generals hide such exciting news?
And just as those generals expected, when those soldiers heard that His Royal Highness King Liao did not go down the city wall and wanted to advance and retreat with them, they were all very excited.

This is not only a great opportunity to show one's bravery, but also a good opportunity to stand out.

At least Wang Erhu's head was full of thoughts, and he was thinking of showing off to His Royal Highness Liao Wang, killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, so that he can stand out from the crowd.

The other soldiers thought the same way. Soon, the opponent had already rushed to the place where the arrow was shot, and the garrison ordered the Ming army on the city wall to pick up the bow and arrow, and began to shoot bows and arrows at the enemy.

Waves of arrow rain pressed down like dark clouds, and the Bei Yuan soldiers who charged below did not stop even though they suffered heavy casualties.

These men from the prairie are still very brave, not to mention that the general personally led them to charge, and behind him was Wang Baobao, the prime minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Just like King Liao of Ming Dynasty supervised the battle in person, Prime Minister Beiyuan also supervised the battle behind him, so they naturally did not dare to retreat and worked hard.

Both parties have their own coaches waiting there, so naturally they will not relax a bit.

The Ming soldiers on the city wall quickly picked up the explosives and threw them down. The number of these explosives was actually not very large, and they were mainly used to scare them.

However, under the situation where Wang Baobao stood up and supervised the battle, after throwing these explosives down for a few rounds, the effect of intimidation was not particularly great.

After all, these men on the grassland can continue to charge against the cannons of the Ming Dynasty.

And accompanied by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.After the last explosive package was thrown down, it still did not stop the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty from climbing the city wall.

The rest of the soldiers also pulled out their weapons, bows and arrows at once, and continued to prepare for the battle.

Wang Erhu stood in the middle of the city wall. He was not an elite soldier, so he couldn't stand in the first row and be a vanguard.

Those who can stand in the first row are not so-called cannon fodder, but only the elite of each team are qualified to stand forward.

Not only do they have very high pensions, but if they can survive, they can usually be promoted two or three levels, or even more.

Therefore, it is definitely not cannon fodder who can be the leading soldier, but the real elite.

If it is cannon fodder, stand in the first row, I am afraid that you have turned your head and couldn't help running away before the fight started.

At this time, the legion fights against one another, fighting for morale. At the beginning, the morale is not as good as that of others, and then they are always suppressed and beaten. Naturally, they can only go to defeat.

This is the result no one wants to see.

Just like the cavalry charging, if the first wave cannot tear the formation and the cavalry is trapped in the infantry regiment, most of them will be sent away.

But Wang Erhu's top soldier obviously didn't have such good luck to get the military merit alive.

When the first Beiyuan soldier rushed up the city wall, that soldier fought twice with the opponent. After killing two of them, the others were shot through the body by one of the men who came later.

As soon as the soldiers in the first row died, the people behind would naturally step up one after another, and Wang Erhu soon reached the front row.

Looking at the waving swords and various bloody corpses.

His heartbeat also became faster and faster. As the people in front continued to die, Wang Erhu finally saw the first soldier in front of him.

That Beiyuan man, Zhang Yawu barked, although Wang Erhu couldn't understand his words, but from his blood red eyes, he was full of killing intent.

Wang Erhu had already been infected by the atmosphere of the previous battle, and he was already seldom rational at this time.

I can only follow the instinct of the previous training, brandish my long knife, and slash at the grassland man in front of me.

.The long knife slashed down fiercely, and the force transmitted back from the knife shocked Wang Erhu's tiger's mouth and wrist with pain.

But no matter how painful it was, he didn't dare to let go. If he lost the knife at this time, it would basically be the same as losing his life.

The man from the prairie.After blocking Wang Erhu's slash,

Immediately, he raised his shield and rushed towards Wang Erhu.

Wang Erhu was hit on the chest, felt that his breathing was not smooth, and he fell to the ground without shouting.

Just when the opponent was about to make up the knife, the comrades nearby rushed over and pierced the opponent's chest with a shot, which saved Wang Erhu's life.

Wang Erhu didn't stay long, and immediately stood up. At this time, the new enemy had already climbed up again, and another bloody battle would inevitably follow.

And Wang Erhu never thought about what would happen if he died.

At this time, his brain was almost completely blank, and his body was given over to his instincts. As for fear or other emotions, they didn't exist at this moment.

What he saw in front of him was only what the enemy wanted to do, which was to cut the long knife in his hand into the opponent's body.

--------

War has always been cruel, no matter how many benefits and temptations there are, when the two sides really engage in hand-to-hand combat, blood and life are like being put in a meat grinder.

People's endurance will also be greatly improved at this time.

Zhu Qi didn't face the battle directly, but stood in a safe place, watching the enemies who kept rushing towards the city wall either had their hands and feet cut off, or their heads were cut off, or their stomachs were dismembered, and they were scattered all over the place, beyond words. The bright red body parts and more.

Although these things make people look disgusting, no soldier will be timid because of this.

After all, they are still surrounded by companions who are fighting the enemy bravely, for them.These bloody scenes.On the contrary, it stimulated their murderous intentions.

Quite a few soldiers were red-eyed, their bodies were bruised, and what they wanted to do was to kill all the enemies who rushed over one by one.

But no matter how fierce the battle is, there will always be an end, especially this level of bloody battle, it is impossible to last too long, after all, people have limits.

But at the end of the battle, Beiyuan failed to take down the city wall of Yi Naiji.

After all, Zhu Qi was standing on the city wall like that, which Ming army would dare not fight desperately?

Looking at the retreating soldiers, Wang Baobao also looked up to the sky and sighed.

Knowing that this time is probably irresistible, this previous attack is already the most vigorous period.

However, Bei Yuan did not have any reinforcements in the follow-up, but Daming's side has a steady stream of reinforcements.

Although there were only 5 miscellaneous fish in Jicheng, the elite who came behind were more than 10.

When the time comes, the troops will be superior, but they will not be on Beiyuan's side, so it is better to retreat as soon as possible.

Wang Baobao also knew that the best choice was to withdraw the troops. Although the lieutenants under the retreat were still clamoring to continue and charge into the battle to take down Yi Naiji, Wang Baobao had already made up his mind.

Withdraw!
