Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 274 272-Xiao Liu: My brother is Zhen Wu!

afternoon.

The city of Beiping hadn't recovered from the morning's battle, and the battle was raging again, as if it didn't give Beiping any time to breathe.

All kinds of siege equipment, such as ladders, cannons, crash cars, and eight-ox crossbows, began to violently bite Beiping City like activated beasts.

The sound of fighting began to become insignificant.

And the tiny human beings died in pieces on the battlefield like a meat grinder.

For a moment, the blood energy made the whole city of Beiping look like the end of the world.

However, Beiping City has a tenacity that amazes everyone. It seems that it may be overturned at any time, but it survived firmly in the end.

Zhu Gaochi and others survived for several hours again, and the time came to dusk.

He looked at the tragic battlefield and wanted to cry without tears.

ten days.

Li Jinglong's vanguard army has been attacking the city for ten consecutive days. During these ten days, Zhu Gaochi didn't know how he persisted.

Every day, they are not arranging various defenses and carrying out strict deployment, or listening to the sound of artillery fire, praying that the soldiers must guard.

But during the past ten days, Beiping City was still almost breached several times, and the psychological pressure this brought to him almost crushed him to the ground.

But he knew he couldn't break.

He promised Zhu Di that he would wait until Zhu Di came back.

Zhu Gaochi moved his obese body, and took advantage of the moment when the opposite side retreated temporarily, he climbed up to the top of the city, carefully observed the situation of the city defenses in various places, and then made a coordinated deployment after he knew it well.

At such a critical moment, he dared not neglect it at all.

But no matter how dedicated he is, his effect is limited. If he persists until now, the city of Beiping will eventually become weaker and weaker.

The ruins of the city, the rapid consumption of city defense materials such as rolling stones and logs, and more importantly, the death of soldiers one by one, has long been insufficient.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the enemy in the distance.

Compared with their tragic situation, the strength of the enemy army has been strengthened again, and the vanguard army that has been storming Beiping finally hopes that Li Jinglong will arrive with the rest of the troops.

This seemed to announce the demise of Beiping City.

……

However, after Li Jinglong arrived at the front line, he did not take advantage of the situation to attack. Instead, he put up his commanding account and summoned the generals to give lectures.

Now that Li Jinglong holds an army of 50, it is the moment when he is proud of the spring breeze and is in high spirits. After seeing the vanguard general Qu Neng, he directly scolded Qu Neng bloody.

"Will you fucking lead troops? 10 people attacked Beiping City. It's nothing more than ten days of fighting, and it caused so many casualties to the commander. How do you ask the commander to explain to the emperor? How can you tell the emperor?" The world confesses? With your battle damage, even if you win, this commander will not have any face left."

Qu Neng opened his mouth, wanting to justify a sentence, the siege battle is more labor-intensive, but if he is allowed to fight for a few more days, he will definitely be able to break through the city of Beiping, but he thought that the city of Beiping has not been broken yet, I had no choice but to hold back the words in my heart angrily.

Li Jinglong finished the last sentence, as if his anger was still there, he still cursed and said: "You are said to be a dog's brain, don't you believe it, you can't beat Li Zhengmen, and you won't try to beat other places? Can't Xuanwu Chongwen next to you? "

When Qu Neng heard this, his eyes almost popped out, and he was suddenly short of breath.

I thought to myself, I'm going to attack one area, you bastard still think there are too many casualties, if I'm going to attack the third one, counting the casualties, wouldn't you bastard cut off the sacrificial flag for me?

Qu Neng, who hadn't captured the city gate, was a little angry. When he saw Li Jinglong coming, he stuffed him with a pot and didn't say anything, and called him a fucking idiot.

This made him a little unbearable.

But just when he was about to argue, he suddenly felt his son pulling him. Qu Neng turned around and saw his son shaking his head at him with concern. He thought about it, finally gritted his teeth, and held back his breath.

"The general's position is high and powerful, what he said is true."

Qu Neng clasped his fists, and was too lazy to argue with Li Jinglong, and didn't want to say a few more words with Li Jinglong.

At this time, another general came out to smooth things over and changed the subject: "General, the Yan army went to attack Daning before, but when they heard that Beiping was besieged, they would definitely rush to help. I don't know what the general's plan is now. I will wait for Jin to listen to the general."

"I've already thought about it."

Li Jinglong proudly asked the generals to look at the map. He clicked on a location and said, "Since Zhu Di attacked Daning, he didn't even defend the Lugou Bridge. How ignorant is this? , In addition, let's not just stare at Beiping, Tongzhou and other places must also send troops to take them all, and then Beiping City will be the turtle in the urn, and it will be easy to capture."

This arrangement sounds not wrong at all, but it always feels weird. As for what is wrong, the generals can't tell, or some people can see it, but they don't want to say more.

Li Jinglong didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he deliberately ignored the importance of Beiping City.

You must know that Beiping City is Zhu Di's foundation, and the family members of Zhu Di's core generals are all in Beiping City. Once Beiping City is destroyed, Zhu Di's army will be in complete chaos.

At this time, if you don't attack Beiping City with all your strength, you will be putting the cart before the horse if you care about Tongzhou and other places or Zhu Di's army.

Otherwise, why didn't Zhu Di stay in the army to guard Lugou Bridge.

However, Li Jinglong's arrangement did not stop there. He also ordered nine camps to join Zhengba Village, ordering each camp not to move lightly unless ordered by him.

Well, this time Li Jinglong's commander-in-chief's power has been concentrated, but the major camps do not restrain each other, and they are just like the template of fighting each other.

Whoever wants to support, yes, come out with a command.

Li Jinglong's army was originally assembled by soldiers and horses from all over the country, and there were many factions. Being set up by Li Jinglong in this way happened to touch the hearts of the generals.

It's just that Qu Neng's face was a little cold.

Good fellow, the siege still fell on him.

That's it!

Then he will destroy a city of Beiping and let everyone see if he, Qu Neng, is a dog's head.

……

In Beiping City, Zhu Gaochi arranged things and walked towards the palace. He was full of thoughts along the way. Although he guessed that he should be able to pass the night safely, he felt anxious when he thought about the days to come.

He has thought of everything he can think of.

But the power to defend the city is still stretched.

However, when he just walked into the palace, he saw a scene that made his eyes moist.

Concubine Xu Miaoyun stood at the front in military uniform, and behind her stood countless women, the older one was 40 years old, and the younger one was in her teens.

Zhu Gaochi looked around, among the group of people were his sister Zhu Yuying, younger sister Yongning, and the female relatives he had seen before, Zhang Yu's family, Zhu Neng's family, Zhang Wu's family, Tan Yuan's family...

Zhu Gaochi burst into tears in an instant, the pressure he had been under for many days could no longer bear it at this moment, and turned into tears.

How did the battle come to this.

It takes this group of women to climb to the top of the wall and fight bloody together.

The princess stepped forward and hugged Zhu Gaochi's big head with distress, and she said softly: "Mother knows that if you mobilize the princes and families to go to the city, you will know that our soldiers are insufficient. You're all worried, but don't be afraid, there is a mother, the men are dead, and we girls, we are united in the city of Beiping, we would rather break the jade than the whole, even if the city is broken, your father and king will still have you in the future The soldiers under my father, they will also avenge us."

Speaking of this, the princess turned her head, looked at all the female relatives, and shouted: "Sisters, we have said what we said before, and now let us tell people in this world! We will never let the imperial court use us to threaten us man, our elder brother, and our nephew!"

"It's better for broken pieces of jade than for tiles!" The princess shouted.

All the female relatives, as if they had been brainwashed, all responded excitedly: "It's better to die than to die!"

"Rather Stick to your guns!"

"Rather Stick to your guns!"

Their voices are different from men's thick and majestic, but their clear voices also rush to the sky with arrogance.

Zhu Gaochi was choked up and speechless.

Zhu Yuying walked over, like when she was a child, she touched Zhu Gaochi's big head and said: "Gaochi don't cry, be strong, Beiping City still needs you to deploy protection."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, and wiped his tears vigorously. He looked at these women who were particularly weak in the past, and his heart gradually became stronger again. He didn't know that it was because of his experience this time that he would become extraordinarily tough in the future. No matter how big the crisis was, he bravely carried it with his fat body.

……

The next day, Qu Neng attacked the city again as expected, but this time the three gates on the south wall were all his targets, and the defenders at the top of the city in Beiping were not enough. , as time went by, the city gate became more and more dangerous.

Even, the city gate was almost about to be breached several times.

Just at such a critical moment.

Yan Wangfei Xu Miaoyun led a group of women's soldiers, under the eyes of the people in the city, they walked firmly towards the top of the city to support them.

The people are curious.

But they gradually seemed to realize something.

They looked at this group of women, who were not afraid of life and death to occupy the enemy, and a trace of anger seemed to rise in their hearts. They thought, the shameless Southern Army was defeated by the King of Yan, and then they did not dare to fight with the King of Yan. Came to bully the old, the young, the women and the weak.

The more they thought about it, the anger in their hearts became more intense.

But at this moment, these women's soldiers don't have the heart to care about the thoughts of the people.

These women's army was organized by Xu Miaoyun before. At the beginning, there were only some family members of the core generals. They were too closely related to Yan Wangfu, and there was no way out. It was expanded in, and then spread layer by layer, so the number of people today is now.

Although they look not as strong as men, some are even weaker, but they are all members of the army after all, and they are familiar with knives and guns, and many of them have learned some skills at home. Simple knives and the like.

For example, Zhen Wu's younger sisters, or Wang Zhen's daughter Wang Juan.

Now Wang Juan and Fifth Sister were walking together, Zhu Yuying glanced at Wang Juan, feeling a little complicated in her heart, she knew that Zhen Wu was almost engaged to Wang Juan, because of this, when she faced Wang Juan, she had a strange feeling psychology.

Wang Juan noticed Zhu Yuying's gaze, turned her head and smiled at Zhu Yuying, and Zhu Yuying smiled back.

Now the two of them are still in-laws because of the Fifth Sister, and they inevitably had contacts in the past, but the two of them seemed to have a good understanding, and they never mentioned Zhen Wu, as if nothing happened before.

Xiao Liu was walking beside Erxian at this time, she patted her chest to comfort Er Xian who was a little nervous.

"Second sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you when the time comes."

Er Xian's brows and eyes curved into a smile. The little girl back then can protect her now, which made Er Xian feel a little interesting. She glanced at Xiao Liu, who was wearing a bow and arrow and carrying a long gun, and looked at Xiao Liu. Liuying was full of energy, nodded and said: "I didn't realize that Xiaoliu of my family has the demeanor of a big brother before."

"That's right." Xiao Liu was triumphant.

She is like a foolish and bold person. Not only does she not have the nervous and fearful emotions of most female relatives, but her expression is full of joy, which makes her particularly unique among the female relatives.

"I've hit people with a gun since I was six years old, and I've seen big scenes." Xiao Liu suddenly added proudly.

Thinking of this, Erxian couldn't help laughing again. In the past, they often teased Xiao Liu about this, but Xiao Liu not only didn't care, but under Zhen Wu's tricks, he was often proud of it.

A good girl, but Zhen Wu raised her to be very courageous.

……

On the top of the city, the flames of war are intensifying.

The strength of the defenders has been being consumed.

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to agree to Xu Miaoyun's help in the battle, but after all, these female family members are the female family members of the generals in the army. If there is too much damage, he can't explain it to the people in the army, so he also told Xu Miaoyun last night, You can help in the battle, but you can't go to the front line.

Xu Miaoyun also understood Zhu Gaochi's worries.

Therefore, unless it is time for the city to break down, she will not let all these female relatives go to fight the man head-on. After all, the women themselves cannot fight the man, which is unwise, but Xu Miaoyun is smart and has her own strengths To find a way, she asked people to take down a lot of tiles from the house last night, and put them in baskets near the head of the city.

At this moment, the defenders on Xuanwumen were no longer enough, so Xu Miaoyun decisively asked a group of female relatives to help Xuanwumen. Some of them transported tiles to the top of the city, while others hid under the top of the city. They picked up the tiles and threw them outside the city. .

Although the tiles were small, they looked harmless, but when they fell from the top of the city, they could still disgrace the southern army. If they were accidentally hit in the front door, it would be enough to make a strong man lose his fighting power.

There were a lot of women soldiers, and the tiles were thrown down the city as if they didn't want money. Countless tiles fell from the top of the city, which really slowed down the attack of the Southern Army outside the city for a while.

This moment cheered up the women's army, and some women with violent tendencies even became more and more vigorous.

Only Xiao Liu was a little unhappy.

She was assigned to deliver tiles, which made her feel very boring.

Zhu Neng's younger sister cooperated with Xiao Liu to carry the basket, and seeing Xiao Liu in a daze, she complained, "Zhen Xiaoliu, why are you in a daze, hurry up, or the princess will scold you soon."

Xiao Liu raised her eyebrows, she was about to say who is afraid, but when she looked sideways, she saw Zhu Yuying who was beside the princess staring at her.

She calmed down in an instant, and Zhu Neng's sister, who had no temper, began to carry the baskets to the city.

Her sister-in-law was really panicking.

Outside the city, after the southern army's offensive was blocked, they quickly adjusted. After all, they were just some tiles. As long as they took good precautions, the damage they caused was limited.

Therefore, the southern army's offensive quickly became violent again.

As the time goes.

Gradually, a southern army climbed up to the top of the city, and the group of women who hadn't arrived yet cried out in alarm. Xu Miaoyun, who had been observing the situation, flew over, hacked the soldier to death with one knife, and then kicked down the top of the city.

"Don't panic, you continue to throw tiles, and we will take care of those who climbed up the top of the wall." Xu Miaoyun ordered coldly, and then led a group of guards to guard against the soldiers who climbed up the top of the wall.

However, the southern army's offensive was so fierce that if one climbed to the top of the city, there would be a second one, and if there was a second one, there would be a third one.

With the bloody battle.

Xu Miaoyun's face was covered with blood. She looked coldly at the southern soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city, fighting with their knives, but there were too few of them. She knew that if things continued like this, sooner or later they would be killed by more and more soldiers. The Southern Army climbed to the top of the city and broke through their defenses.

At that time, it will also be the time when the city is broken.

Just when Xu Miaoyun was anxious, a sharp arrow flew past her eyes quickly and swiftly, hitting the head of a Nanjun who had just climbed up like lightning.

The southern army looked up in disbelief, and fell down the city again.

Who?
Xu Miaoyun turned her head to look, and saw a girl who was only 15 years old, kicking down a basket of tiles with one foot, tapping a bow and arrow in her hand, her movements were neat and neat, and she shot one arrow after another, the arrows were not missing the slightest bit Hitting the head of a southern army is like a sharpshooter with every shot.

Whose girl is this?
How can there be such a bow and arrow ability!

Xu Miaoyun's mind was a little unclear during the battle, she only felt that this girl looked very familiar, but she couldn't figure out whose girl it was.

However, when Zhu Yuying, who was in charge of scheduling not far away, saw this scene, all her souls almost flew out in shock.

That little girl, if others don't know her, how can she not know her.

It was her Xiaoliu.

Although she had heard Zhen Wu and her praise her six younger sisters for their outstanding bow and arrow talents, she never expected that they would be so tall, and only thought that the elder brother was supporting her younger sister.

Even she has seen it with her own eyes, when Xiao Liu was practicing at home, the arrow hit the target, but now what he shoots is not a target, but a human being, is it really like Zhen Wu, who has no other thoughts when he goes to the battlefield? !
Yes!No!
Because, at this moment, Xiao Liu was thinking to herself: "I have been letting my mother transport tiles, look down on anyone, and see if my mother can't shoot you to death." She muttered, as if she wanted to release all the anger in her chest on Climbing On the soldiers of the Confederate Army at the head.

She bent her bow and set her arrows, moving her feet nimbly from side to side, choosing the most suitable azimuth and line for archery, and shooting out the feathered arrows one by one.

Between the movements, it looks like when I practice at home every day.

The defenders were startled.

Then rejoice!

After the southern army was shot to death, they were suppressed by the defenders, and they were suppressed again.

Xu Miaoyun was amazed, and then saw Xiao Liu hiding under a city, bowed his bow and set an arrow, poked his head out and shot an arrow at the bottom of the city, then hid back with a whoosh, and then bent his bow and set an arrow.

After all the remaining arrows in the quiver were shot, Xiao Liu clapped his hands and said angrily, "Why do you take so many arrows with you when you go out? It's all over now, there's nothing to play with."

When Xu Miaoyun heard it, she quickly shouted: "Go and get her an arrow."

After finishing speaking, Xu Miaoyun asked Xiao Liu loudly: "Little girl, what's your name?"

Xiao Liu turned her head to look, only now did she realize that many soldiers and women soldiers were looking at her, she shrank her neck slightly, but immediately raised her head again, and said arrogantly: "My name is Zhen De."

Zhen De?

Everyone is a little confused.

Xiao Liu also seemed to realize that the name he reported was not aggressive enough, so he thought for a while and said again: "My elder brother is Zhen Wu!"

hiss.

All of a sudden, everyone was shocked.

It turned out to be the case.

Isn't this exactly the tiger brother has no dog sister!

Xiao Liu narrowed his eyes with a smile, very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

……

After that, Xiaoliu showed his power, the morale of the defenders increased greatly, and he beat down the Southern Army several times. Finally, the Southern Army's offensive slowed down again and again, and had to retreat to rest.

At this time, Xiao Liu had already retreated from the top of the wall. She shot [-] arrows intermittently in the past two hours. Many holes were broken.

Her bow is a soft bow specially made by Zhen Wu for her. The strength of the bow is less than a stone, but it weighs nearly 15 pounds. She is a [-]-year-old girl, and she has opened the bow [-] times. Shooting a few arrows for fun.

At this moment, her second sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, including Zhu Yuying, were all around her, chatting non-stop, while many other members of the Detachment of Women secretly looked at Xiao Liu in amazement.

Good guy, why is this little girl so fierce.

The murderer didn't change his face, and he was still laughing.

At this time, Er Xian was also talking about Xiao Liu: "My God, why did my brother bring you up, how did you bring you up like this, this is not shooting rabbits, you are shooting people."

"I didn't think about it that much at the time." Xiao Liu said with a smile.

"What about now? Are you not afraid?" Erxian glared at her.

Xiao Liuyi scratched his head: "I don't think so much now, I've already ejaculated, why do I still think so much?"

Er Xian and Zhu Yuying heard this, they were all shocked and speechless.

Co-authoring Xiao Liu has nothing to hide in his heart.

To put it bluntly, this is open-mindedness, but to put it bluntly, it is heartless.

But at the next moment, Erxian saw the eyes of the other female soldiers looking at Xiaoliu, and suddenly thought of something, she frowned, and she whispered to Zhu Yuying sadly: "Oh, our girl came here today, and she can't do it in the future." How can you get married?"

Zhu Yuying hadn't thought of this before, but now that she heard Er Xian's reminder, she also looked at the other female soldiers, and Zhu Yuying frowned instantly when she saw this.

The women on the scene are most likely Xiao Liu's mother-in-law, sister or something, who would like to invite back a number one person like Xiao Liu.

Just when Zhu Yuying was worried.

Xu Miaoyun, who had finally finished her work in the distance, came over, she looked at Xiao Liu and hugged Xiao Liu and turned around with a big smile. , Fifth Sister, it's much stronger, if I like it, I like it."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Xiao Liu by his side again, and pinched Xiao Liu's little face with his hands up and down. After pinching, he found that Xiao Liu's appearance was very good, not bad for her older sisters.

Xu Miaoyun suddenly became interested and asked, "Did you tell me?"

Xiao Liu, who had been giggling all the time, was stunned, and looked to Zhu Yuying and Er Xian for help.

Zhu Yuying smiled and said: "Mother, my sister-in-law is still young, her brother is reluctant to let her marry too early."

"Oh?"

Xu Miaoyun's eyes burst into a brighter smile for a moment: "There is no need to worry. Such a good girl really needs to pick and choose people carefully. You can tell Zhen Wu later that I am in charge of this matter. From now on, I will personally tell the little girl a good marriage, as for others, no one will be able to do it."

Xiao Liu blinked in confusion, and when everyone thought Xiao Liu wanted to thank Xu Miaoyun for making the decision, Xiao Liu unexpectedly turned to look at Zhu Yuying.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of food are we cooking at home today? I'm hungry, can I ask Fire Element to deliver something delicious?"

amount.

This…
