Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 86
In the entire Yuan army formation, all the artillerymen were already panicked and did not dare to continue firing at all.

Seeing this, several generals of the Yuan army had no choice but to persuade the barbarian Hague.

"My lord, it's better to let the artillery back a little bit, the bandit army is too accurate, and no one dares to move forward."

"Yes, my lord, step back a little bit, increase the amount of charge, and you can still bombard Chuzhou City."

"My lord, step back a little, or I'm afraid the morale of the army will be shaken."

Barbarian Hague turned pale, but had to accept these proposals.

In just a few rounds of shelling, more than 20 yuan of army artillery were destroyed. If there were another ten or eight rounds, the entire army might be wiped out.

"Eighty steps back!" Barbarian Hague said unwillingly.

Another 150 steps away, not much demolition is equivalent to [-] meters.

This is already beyond the effective range of the three-pound gun, and it is only luck to hit the target.

The only two twelve-pound guns were barely able to fire.

"My lord, it's too far away, should we continue?" Hu Yiba said while lying on the top of the wall.

Seeing the Yuan army retreating, Zhu Han shook his head.

"No need, at such a long distance, even if the shells are fired, I don't believe they can hit them."

The Yuan army's artillery is not as good as Zhu Han's new artillery in terms of craftsmanship and materials.

The shells fired from such a long distance can only scrape the city wall of Chuzhou.

but.

The artillery of the Chuzhou defenders stopped roaring, but the Yuan army refused to stop.

The barbarian Hague ignored the objections of the generals of the Han army and forced the gunners to load more gunpowder, ignoring the theory of bombing the guns.

The gunners of the Han army had no choice but to risk more than half of the gunpowder.

"Whoever's artillery can't hit the city wall of Chuzhou, the first time the army sticks, the second beheaded!"

A group of barbarian Hague Mongolian soldiers shouted loudly behind the gunner.

Even if the gunners of the Han army were reluctant, they would not dare to disobey in the slightest. The Mongols' butcher knives were merciless.

With an order, the Yuan army issued an order to fire and fire.

Boom!

A loud noise sounded in front of the Yuan army's position, and huge smoke rose up.

"how!"

Coach Barbarian Hague's ears rang from the shock.

He immediately turned his head to look, only to see that several artillery pieces of the Yuan army were crumbling, and a group of soldiers were also blown to death with bleeding from their mouths and noses.

Many soldiers were seriously injured, wailing in pain on the ground.

"My lord, explode the chamber!"

A general of the Yuan army held his helmet and said with a look of fear on his face.

"Bomb!"

Barbarian Hague suddenly looked angry.

Because the distance is too far, if you want to hit the city wall of Chuzhou, you must load more gunpowder.

However, the fragile barrel couldn't bear the excessive pressure at all, and it was blown to pieces in an instant.

There were more than 30 casualties caused by the bombing this time, which was much more severe than the first three rounds of bombing by the Chuzhou rebels.

"My lord, we can't fight anymore. The thieves must have used sorcery. Our cannons have been enchanted. If we continue to fight, we will definitely suffer retaliation!" A general of the Han army pleaded bitterly.

Any sorcery is just an excuse for him.

The distance is too far, and it is impossible to avoid bombing.

"No, fire me again. Anyone who dares to disobey the military order will be beheaded immediately!" The barbarian Hague was merciless.

"My lord, but..." The general of the Han army continued to persuade.

Snapped!
A whip slammed into the face of the general of the Han army.

Immediately it was a fiery scar.

"Shut up! My son Tuo Huan is already dead, you lowly Han people, do you still dare to steal your life? If you don't break through Chuzhou City this time, then all of you Han people will be killed!" The barbarian Ha Ha has lost his reason.

Seeing this, the general of the Han army didn't dare to persuade him any more, he could only obediently obey his orders.

The gunners of the Yuan army, under the persecution of military orders, had to take the risk of reloading and firing.

Just now, when the Yuan army's artillery exploded, Zhu Han could see it clearly from the top of Chuzhou city.

"Haha, the artillery of these Tartars is really useless, and at such a short distance, it will explode." Zhu Han laughed.

"My lord, if we don't bombard them, let them see how good we are." Hu Yiba said triumphantly from the side.

The Yuan army formed an array in the distance. Although the artillery of the rebel army was not accurate, it could still bombard the array in the front row.

"No, keep the gunpowder and don't waste it," Zhu Han said.

Zhou Dexing and Zhu Yuanzhang took away a lot of gunpowder reserves in Chuzhou City, and now the stock is very limited and must be saved.

"Hey, the Tartars still want to continue firing?"

While Zhu Han was talking, he suddenly saw the Yuan army outside the city preparing to reload and fire again.

"Aren't these Tartars afraid of death?" Hu Yiba also showed disdain.

The rebel soldiers in Chuzhou also let out bursts of laughter.

After a series of artillery attacks, the confidence of the Chuzhou defenders increased greatly, and they were no longer as weak as they were at the beginning.

boom!
With a roar, it sounded again on the Yuan army's position.

The shoddy artillery made by the Yuan army blew up again.

All of a sudden, the rebels in Chuzhou City let out louder laughter.

Many people even made up jingles and started laughing loudly.

Zhu Han did not stop these behaviors.

For morale, it is a good encouragement.

In the Yuan army formation, it is different.

Terrible explosions happened one after another, and the gunners of the Han army were unwilling to continue.

The Yuan army didn't give them a way out at all.

With such a long distance, there is less gunpowder loaded, and if you can't hit the city wall, you will be decapitated.

If you loaded too much gunpowder, you would die without a whole body.

Many gunners of the Han army simply threw away the things in their hands, and all knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Even if it is dealt with by military law, it is nothing more than beheading. Once the body is blown up, it will be dead without a whole body.

"My lord, we can't do this anymore, our morale is at risk." A Yuan army general persuaded.

"Yes, my lord, our troops are ten times stronger than the thieves, so we shouldn't be in such a hurry."

"My lord, even if we don't use artillery to bombard the city, we can capture more nearby Han people and let them fill in the trenches, consume the strength of the bandit army, and then attack the city, we can still succeed!"

Barbarian Hague has also calmed down.

Although he didn't care about the life and death of the soldiers of the Han army, but there were too many explosions, which affected morale.

Many Mongolian soldiers have always been superstitious about gunpowder weapons.

If the bombs explode one after another, many people will think that ghosts and gods are helping the rebels.

"Let the gunners rest for the time being, you guys go to set up guards around, and don't allow a single bandit to escape!"

Barbarian Hague said.

"Yes, my lord!"

The artillery of the Yuan army finally misfired.

After some tossing, the sky has gradually dimmed.

The Yuan army began to send cavalry to search the surrounding Han people and their grain and livestock.

All of a sudden, outside the city of Chuzhou, there were screams and black smoke burning everywhere.

The rebel soldiers who had just won the first battle were filled with grief and anger.

"My lord, the Tartars have wiped out all the misfortunes outside the city!" Hu Yiba looked at the black smoke everywhere outside the city, showing a look of resentment.

"Even if we defend Chuzhou City, I'm afraid the outside of the city will become a blank land." Zhu Han was also a little unwilling.

However, he only had [-] new soldiers in his hands, and he was reluctant to defend the city. There was no extra force to go out of the city to stop the Yuan army from burning, killing and looting everywhere.

At this time, Lu Zhongheng and Chen Baodao also came back to report.

"My lord, the grain and grass have already been apportioned, and the big households have already started to move the grain, grass and money to the government office." Chen Baodao said with his hands clasped.

"Well, good, a curfew will be enforced in the city immediately, and no one is allowed to go out without a military order, so as to prevent spies from colluding." Zhu Han said.

These big families in Chuzhou were put under house arrest by myself, in order to prevent them from using their strengths to rebel.

"Has the Tartars started setting fire?" Lu Zhongheng who was at the side suddenly said.

Chen Baodao and Lu Zhongheng were very angry when they saw the Yuan army outside the city starting to burn, kill and loot.

"My lord, you can't keep defending the city, you have to go out of the city to make a surprise attack, so as not to let the Tartars feel at ease to prepare for the battle." Chen Baodao said.

Zhu Han has no experience in how to defend the city.

Hearing what Chen Baodao said, he immediately asked him.

"What do you mean, tell me quickly."

Chen Baodao pointed to the outside and said:

"My lord, when I was in the official army, oh no, when I was in the Tartar army, I learned a lot of experience. If I just can't hold on, the enemy army outside the city can use all the manpower and material resources outside the city. If the city forms an encirclement, or if an ambush is arranged in advance to attack the reinforcements, the defending army must attack in large numbers, destroy the enemy's layout, and detect the enemy's movements. Without reinforcements, we will not be able to cooperate.”

Zhu Han nodded in agreement when he heard this.

Even if the envoy he sent to ask for help arrived in Dingyuan City, it would be of no use. He had to go to Haozhou to find Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because Dingyuan County only has the ability to protect itself at most, the old and weak women and children of the rebel army are basically in Dingyuan, and it is impossible to have extra troops to come to rescue.

In this way, Chuzhou must hold on for a long time before it can wait for reinforcements.

"Just relying on the defense of the city blindly, it is impossible to defend the Tartars until they retreat. These Tartar soldiers are all from the south of the Yangtze River, where food and grass are plentiful. If they fall into a siege and attrition war, it is a competition for food and grass. Our food and grass are no match. Theirs." Chen Baodao continued.

"Very well said, if you have any ideas, tell them quickly," Zhu Han said.

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead [-] elite soldiers out of the city to counterattack the enemy camp and create a lot of chaos." Chen Baodao took the initiative to invite the battle.

"What, 300 people, that's really too dangerous." Zhu Han was taken aback.

"My lord, 300 people is quite a lot. They are all the elite of the subordinate killer team. It is enough. No matter how many other people there are, it is useless." Chen Baodao said.

In Zhu Han's new army, the 300 soldiers and horses are basically infantry using new muskets and spears, and there are only [-] elite sword and shield soldiers. In addition, there is a killer team, which can be regarded as an elite that can fight in close combat.

"Is 300 people really useful?" Zhu Han was still a little uneasy.

Although 300 people are not many, but for 3000 people, that is a lot.

If one tenth of the troops is lost, if it is on the battlefield, it can already cause an army to collapse.

Zhu Han had to be cautious.

"My lord, don't worry, as long as you can leave the city at night, you will be safe and sound!" Chen Baodao said loudly.

"Okay, then I'll give you some more Molotov cocktails, which can be used to set fires!" Zhu Han nodded.

The so-called incendiary bottle is naturally a mixture mainly composed of distilled high-concentration alcohol, which is specially used to set fire.

"Your subordinates obey!" Chen Baodao clasped his fists and said.

Seeing this, Zhu Han suddenly thought of something.

Since taking Chen Baodao under his command, his martial arts are admirable.

But this is the first time that he has taken the initiative to ask for a fight.

"Chen Baodao." Zhu Han suddenly said again.

"My lord, the last general is here." Chen Baodao responded quickly.

"If you are successful in the battle, what reward do you want?" Zhu Han asked.

Chen Baodao's eyes turned, and it was obvious that he already had something in his mind.

"But it's okay to say it, let's say it." Zhu Han smiled slightly.

"My lord, I want to ask for a wife in the end, and leave incense for the Chen family. Even if I have any accidents in the future, I can be regarded as worthy of my ancestors." Chen Baodao said.

According to the military laws of the Rebel Army, except for generals above the command of Qianhu, all other people are not allowed to marry, or if they have wives, they are not allowed to live together except in the old nest Dingyuan, in order to ensure the implementation of military orders.

Although Chen Baodao was the commander of elite soldiers, he was not at the commanding level of a thousand households.

"Okay, I promise you, as long as the Tartars retreat this time, I will promote you as the commander of Qianhu in the new army, just like Hu Yiba!" Zhu Han laughed.

"Thank you, sir!" Chen Baodao thanked quickly.

"Don't worry, not only that, I will let the marshal decide to marry you a lady from a great family, and then go back to your hometown in a good way!" Zhu Han said.

"Back to your hometown?" Chen Baodao looked surprised.

His hometown is in the Kaifeng area of ​​Henan Province, which is very far away from here, and it is a heavily guarded place belonging to the Tartars.

Encouraged by promotion and marriage, Chen Baodao immediately led his [-]-sword shield soldiers to prepare.

When it was dark, they were already carrying fire starters, short knives and light armor, and fell from the city wall along the rope.

Zhu Han lay on the top of the wall, frowning as he watched them disappear into the night.

"Damn, if this Chen Baodao ran out to throw at the Tartars, would I be a big fool?"

Zhu Han suddenly had an idea.

Fortunately, Chen Baodao was not as miserable as he thought.

"My lord, look quickly!"

In the dark night, Hu Yiba's voice came.

Zhu Han saw flames lit up in the camp of the Yuan army outside the city.

one, two.

It has reached dozens of places.

Obviously, the elite sword and shield soldiers led by Chen Baodao touched the vicinity of the Yuan army's camp.

"Fire the cannon and blast it far away!" Zhu Han said immediately.

"Yes, my lord!"

Hu Yiba immediately ran to prepare.

In the dark night, cannons rang out from the city of Chuzhou.

The range of the rebel artillery is far beyond the imagination of the Yuan army.

The shells smashed into the vicinity of the Yuan army's camp one by one, making the originally panicked army even more chaotic.

"My lord, the bandit army sneak attack!"

"The thieves are attacking!"

Several generals of the Yuan army rushed outside the barbarian Hague's camp, yelling loudly.

"What are you panicking about!"

Barbarian Hague rushed out wearing armor, roaring loudly.

In the dark night, the Yuan army did not know how many people the Chuzhou rebels sent to attack.

He didn't dare to go out of the camp to catch up. Coupled with the artillery bombardment, the barbarian Hague was also afraid that the army would bomb the camp.

"Let me pull out the camp overnight, and then retreat two hundred steps to set up the camp!" Barbarian Hague said helplessly.

"My lord, obey!"

Several generals hurriedly went to restrain the troops, preparing to pull out the camp overnight.

As the flames lit up everywhere, Chen Baodao and others, who had been fighting in the chaos, could not hide their whereabouts, so they hurried back to the city of Chuzhou.

The Yuan army simply lit continuous torches on the camp, and the entire camp was brightly lit.

"These thieves!"

Manzi Ha Hague saw the elite rebel army running back to the city of Chuzhou, and cursed angrily.

Had he known it was such a small number of enemies, the barbarian Hague would have sent cavalry to chase after him.

After returning to the top of the city, the defenders cheered.

Chen Baodao also looked happy.

"My lord, I took advantage of the chaos and beheaded more than 100 people, and even burned several outlying barracks of the Tartars!" Chen Baodao said.

Afterwards, a bunch of human heads were piled up in front of Zhu Han.

Each head exudes a bloody stench.

Zhu Han was very happy, "Haha, well, it's so cheap, if you come here a few more times, no matter how many people there are, the Tartars won't be able to stand it."

Zhu Han already understood that although the results of this kind of night attack may not seem large, it can greatly damage the morale of the enemy army.

Once night falls, no one can fall asleep at ease, and the spirit is extremely tense, which is very easy to cause confusion.

Chen Baodao shook his head, "Sir, this strategy is probably not very effective. The Tartars retreated and set up camp. They must set up more guards in front. Even if it is a night attack, it is dangerous. Maybe they will be killed by the Tartars before they leave the city." shot them with arrows."

It really happened as Chen Baodao said.

On the second night, the barbarian Hague sent many Yuan army elites to ambush outside the city of Chuzhou, all of them carrying strong bows. Once they saw the city head letting people fall with ropes, they would immediately shoot them with random arrows.

"My lord, the Tartars have learned a lesson, and it seems that they can't do it anymore." Hu Yiba said with some regret.

"No, I think you can give it a try." Zhu Han smiled slightly.

Chen Baodao was a little nervous, "My lord, no one knows how many ambush the Tatars have in the night."

"We don't want to kill the enemy this time, we just want to target the Tartars to make them mentality." Zhu Han said.

Hu Yiba, Chen Baodao, Lu Zhongheng and others were puzzled for a while.

"My lord, mess with their mentality?"

None of them understood what this meant.

"Haha, it's very simple, just to disturb their morale!"

Zhu Han immediately arranged for the defenders to quickly make thousands of dummies out of straw, and then slowly lower them down the city wall with ropes, as if they were sending troops to attack outside the city.

really.

The Yuan army ambush outside the city was immediately overjoyed to see a looming figure on the top of Chuzhou city in the night.

According to the order of the barbarian Hague, they rushed to the city screaming and shooting arrows indiscriminately. Their arms were sore and limp all the time. The straw men didn't understand anything, and then they left contentedly.

"Quick, cry for me."

Seeing this, Zhu Han smiled and gave instructions.

"Ah? My lord, why are you crying?" Chen Baodao didn't understand.

Hu Yiba next to him, how clever he was, immediately understood what Zhu Han meant, and started crying on the spot.

"Brother! You died so miserable!"

"You dog tartar, you killed your brother with random arrows!"

All of a sudden, the rebel soldiers guarding the city were crying and howling in a fake way.

Yuan Jun in the dark heard this, and immediately left contentedly.

It was daytime the next day.

Yuan Jun was very surprised to find out...

Those 'rebels' they shot and killed with random arrows last night turned out to be straw dummies.

Barbarian Hague scolded angrily.

In order to vent his anger, the barbarian Hague immediately ordered thousands of Han Chinese who had been looted from around to form a forward, and use their lives to attack Chuzhou City.

"Sir, what should I do?"

At the head of Chuzhou city, Hu Yiba saw thousands of Han people running towards the moat, one by one carrying dirt and stones on their shoulders.

"What should we do? If we let them fill up the moat, the Tartars will be right at the bottom of the city." Zhu Han said.

Hu Yiba nodded immediately, "My lord, the general understands, and immediately send people to shoot them with random arrows!"

Snapped!
But Zhu Han immediately gave Hu Yiba a whip, hitting his ass hard.

"Fart, these are our Han people, who told you to shoot them!" Zhu Han said.

"Then what do you want to do, my lord?" Hu Yiba looked aggrieved.

"Immediately prepare to lower the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and let these people rush into the city!" Zhu Han said.

Hu Yiba suddenly turned pale with shock.

"My lord, no, what if there are Tartar spies mixed in here!" Hu Yiba said.

"What are you afraid of? Just open the city gate and let them enter the urn city, but the inner city gate cannot be opened." Zhu Han said.

If you want to say that after occupying Chuzhou, the biggest thing you did was to build a few urns, which just came in handy at this time.

First screen these people in the urn city, and then they can be converted into troops to defend the city.

These Han people who were driven to death, after approaching Chuzhou City, thought they would be shot and killed by random arrows from the defenders.

They didn't expect that there was a shout from the city wall.

"Folks, hurry into the city and run for your life!"

"Enter the city, run for your life!"

Immediately afterwards, the suspension bridge and city gates of Chuzhou City were opened one by one.

These poor Han people immediately dropped mud and rocks, flocked to the suspension bridge like crazy, and fled into the city.

The Mongolian cavalry in the rear were afraid of the artillery and bows and arrows at the top of the city, and did not dare to go forward to chase them.

"Traitor! Traitor!"

When Manzi Hague saw this, he was immediately filled with anger.

at this time.

There were bursts of shouts from Chuzhou City.

"Thank you Zuo Cheng for the arrow!"

"Thank you Zuo Cheng for the reward!"

Amidst the taunts, the morale of the Yuan army suddenly plummeted.

"Tori doesn't spend!" Barbarian Hague growled.

"My lord, the last general is here!" A Semu person came up and said.

"You bring soldiers and horses, and go catch more Han people and mix some of our elite soldiers. Seeing that the Chuzhou rebels dare to open the city gate, they will sneak in and seize the city immediately!" the barbarian Hai Ya said fiercely.

"The last will obey!"

This semu general named Tori Buhua, his favorite thing is to use the prestige of the Mongols to bully the Han people.

All of a sudden, the Han villages outside the city of Chuzhou were looted again.

After entering the night, Zhu Han ordered to prepare more scarecrows.

"My lord, can it still be useful? It's impossible for the Tartars to be fooled." Hu Yiba was a little skeptical.

"Take it again and again, and only use it once. Even if the Tartars are suspicious, they can't take the risk." Zhu Han said.

Zhu Han is best at this kind of mentality.

really.

When the Chuzhou rebels released the scarecrow again, the Yuan army outside the city knew it was a trick, so they didn't dare to take the risk and ignore it.

"shoot!"

"Shoot me with a rocket!"

The barbarian Hague came to the city and commanded the archers to shoot.

These scarecrows have long been soaked by splashing water, and the Tartar rockets are useless at all.

Instead, because of their ignition, they exposed their position in the dark night.

"Hu Yiba!" Zhu Han smiled slightly.

"grown ups!"

"Aim at those bright lights and shoot me with artillery!" Zhu Han said.

"Follow your orders!"

Immediately afterwards, a burst of artillery roar sounded.

boom!
Boom!

A burst of screams sounded beside the barbarian Hague, and several soldiers immediately dragged the barbarian Hague and fled in embarrassment.

Some tartar archers who were unlucky were instantly smashed to pieces.

After tossing around in the middle of the night, not only did the Yuan army not injure a rebel soldier, but instead damaged a lot of archers.

When the sky brightened, a piece of stumped limbs and arms were left under the city of Chuzhou.

Tens of thousands of feather arrows were collected by the rebel army with scarecrows.

The barbarian Hague was so angry that he ignored the general's opposition and ordered the artillery to bombard Chuzhou City.

However, these cannons were either not filled with enough gunpowder, and the shells were weak when they hit the city wall, or they were charged with too much gunpowder, and immediately exploded and killed a group of their own people.

On the top of the Chuzhou city, Zhu Han led a group of generals, as well as Lu Wendao and other Chuzhou gentry, enjoying the performance of the Yuan army outside the city.

Especially Lu Wendao and other powerful gentry from Chuzhou, all of them were overjoyed.

"It turns out that the famous Tartars only have this ability."

"It's not that the Tartars are not strong, it's because our rebel army is mighty."

"If you want me to say, Deputy Commander Zhu is still mighty!"

Lu Wendao and others were flattering and flattering for a while.

Although Zhu Han didn't like this, he was very happy to see their mentality change.

"If this is the case, the Tartars will probably put on a desperate stance." Chen Baodao said beside him.

"Desperate?" Zhu Han asked.

"Yes, my lord, you can see that these Tartars are plundering more harshly around. They must search for more young and strong. When there are more young and strong, they will immediately drive them to fill up the trenches and moats with their lives in front, and then the army Attacking close to the city wall, their numbers are too many, more than ten times that of ours, if they really attack the city madly, it will be really difficult." Chen Baodao said.

After Zhu Han heard this, he was also a little worried.

If such a tactic is really followed, the Yuan army will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

However, the rebel army only has more than 3000 people, and all the young and strong are no more than 1 people, so it will be very difficult.

In the Yuan army camp outside the city.

Coach Barbarian Hague really intends to use this tactic.

After all, even if it is a desperate effort to capture Chuzhou, it is worth it.

But it is a pity that, except for the barbarian Hague, almost all generals of the Yuan army opposed this tactic.

Because even if the trenches were filled with the lives of the Han people, they would have to fight in person in the battle of climbing and fighting for the city wall.

After nearly a hundred years of good life, the Mongols have not only had a fierce reputation, but the reality has already changed.

Back then, the Mongols conquered the Quartet, relying on the bravery of bare feet and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Now everyone cherishes their lives very much, and no one is willing to risk their lives.

As for the generals of the Han army, they have made plans one by one. If these wicked Mongols dare to force them to take the lead and die, they will come to bomb the camp and flee.

"You bastards!"

Everyone refused to agree, and the barbarian Hague could only drop a word of resentment.

At this time, it was Toli Buhua, the color-eyed general, who said again.

"My lord, we have brought many craftsmen who can make punching carts and tower carts. Using these things to get close to the city wall will save many people from being killed or injured."

"Okay, Tori doesn't spend it, I'll leave it to you!" said the barbarian Hague.

"Follow your orders!"

It is absolutely impossible to make these siege equipment without ten days and half a month.

It was night again, and Zhu Han called Chen Baodao and others again.

"My lord, but you want to release the scarecrow again?" Hu Yiba asked excitedly.

"Fart, you think Tartar is a fool." Zhu Han rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to let the real person go down."

Zhu Han said to Chen Baodao.

"I'll give you some more gunpowder this time. To the east of the city is the food and grass camp of the Tartars. Go there and set fire to burn their food and grass."

Among the Mongolian wounded soldiers yesterday, one was taken back to the city of Chuzhou and revealed a lot of useful information.

"Follow your orders!"

"Go!"

This time, the rebel army took advantage of the darkness and first put down the scarecrow.

The Mongolian cavalry in the night outside the city soon discovered these scarecrows.

They laughed one by one.

No one is a fool, how could he be deceived three times.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Baodao and others fell outside the city one by one, and walked the dark night road to the outside of the Yuan army's food and grass camp.

boom!
With a loud noise, a big hole was blasted into the wall of the Yuan army camp.

Chen Baodao and others rushed in, killing and burning indiscriminately.

The Yuan army in the dark night did not know how many people came to attack them, and they were in a mess immediately, without any strong resistance at all.

Most of the army rations and luggage were ignited.

Chen Baodao and others immediately took advantage of the situation and fled in the dark before the Yuan army restored order.

Wait until the next day.

Almost half of the supplies and supplies of the Yuan army were burned.

Barbarian Hague wants to cry but has no tears.

"My lord, the food and grass have been destroyed, and the morale of our army has been affected." Tori Buhua asked.

"What do you mean, do you want to retreat too?" Barbarian Hague stared.

Many generals of the Yuan army persuaded the barbarian Hague to retreat and defend Liuhe, and then send troops to Chuzhou after the grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River were collected and transported.

How could the barbarian Hague lose his troops and lose his generals, so he was willing to heed these advices? He immediately whipped several leading generals severely and ordered all the ministries to prepare to attack Chuzhou.

"My lord, the last general dare not, it's just that the siege equipment will take at least half a month to complete." Tuoli Buhua said.

"What are you afraid of? I am a great Mongolian warrior. I don't have artillery or tower carts. It's not the same as when I was in the world!" The barbarian Hague shouted loudly.

"Pass down my general order to build ladders and prepare to attack the city immediately!"

The barbarian Hague has gradually lost his mind.

Under the command of the coach, various ministries began to make ladders, preparing to attack Chuzhou City.

"It seems that the Tartars are really desperate." Zhu Han looked outside the city and smiled.

"My lord, why don't I go to sneak attack again at night and burn down their ladders." Chen Baodao said.

Two consecutive sneak attacks were successful, and Chen Baodao's confidence was already bursting.

"No, the Tartars are already on guard. Maybe the whole camp will stay awake, waiting for you to deliver them to your door." Zhu Han laughed.

Today's Chuzhou defenders have already messed up the Yuan army's mentality.

Since they want to pay for their lives, then it's good to come.

Under the strict order of the barbarian Hague, the production of various utensils for the Yuan army was rapid.

It took only five days to make all the tower carts and rush carts. I don’t know how many Chinese craftsmen were forced to sleep for days and nights.

These tower carts are as tall as the city wall and can carry dozens of people. Huge wooden wheels are installed underneath to push them close to the city wall, and then a huge suspension bridge is released from the top, leading directly to the city wall.

"Come on, attack!"

The Yuan army besieged the city on all sides, and immediately started a new attack.

………………

Dingyuan City.

The enemy attack information sent from Chuzhou first arrived at Dingyuan City.

The people staying in Dingyuan are Tang He and Li Shanchang.

The two of them had less than [-] soldiers and horses in their hands.

And the old, weak, women and children of the various armies in Dingyuan cannot be without protection.

For a while, there was nothing they could do about the battle situation in Chuzhou. They could only send someone to Haozhou to inform Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible.

Ma Xiuying, the marshal's wife, immediately came from the back house to the front hall when she heard that the 10 yuan army surrounded Chuzhou with 3000 people.

"Ma'am, why are you here?"

Li Shanchang hurriedly saluted.

Ma Xiuying returned the salute patiently, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Li, Chuzhou is in an emergency, and Ah Han is under siege, why didn't you send troops to rescue?"

Li Shanchang was troubled, "Ma'am, it's not that we don't want to save him, but we really don't have any extra troops. We only have seven or eight thousand soldiers in Dingyuan. Even if we go, we will die."

Tang He on the side also looked worried, "Brothers and sisters, we have too few people. If we want to rescue Chuzhou, we have to rely on the main force of the general."

Ma Xiuying naturally knew about these situations.

However, she knew Zhu Han's weight in her husband Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

How can I explain to Zhu Yuanzhang if I don't want to save him?

"You two, Ah Han is the commander-in-chief's close relative, and it can be said that he is an indispensable member of the rebel army. Even if we have a small force, we can't stand by in Dingyuan City."

Li Shanchang and Tang He heard the words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

They all knew the importance of Zhu Han to the rebel army.

It can be said that without Zhu Han, Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang would never have had such a glorious situation today.

"Then we will send [-] soldiers and horses, spread the banner and spread suspicions widely, so that the Tatars will think that there is a large army coming to help, so that they will not dare to attack the city unscrupulously." Li Shanchang said.

"Mister is a good plan, we can do this." Ma Xiuying said immediately.

"Well, I, Tang He, will lead the troops to Chuzhou. Mr. Li, Dingyuan City will be handed over to you." Tang He said.

"General Tang, don't worry!" Li Shanchang looked solemn.

Immediately, Tang He immediately went to prepare soldiers and horses, and as soon as the dispatch of food and grass was completed, he immediately rushed to Chuzhou.

Whether it can defeat the Yuan army's heavy troops is not guaranteed.

But Ma Xiuying, the marshal's wife, couldn't wait any longer and urged Tang He to send troops immediately.

"Brother Tang, Chuzhou may be in dire straits right now. If we go an hour earlier, we may have more hope."

Ma Xiuying feels that 3000 people resisting 10 people is an impossible task no matter how you think about it. If you can stick to it for ten days and a half months, you will be blessed by God.

"If Chuzhou really can't keep it, then we don't want it. It's enough just to save Ah Han." Ma Xiuying instructed again.

After hearing this, Tang He complained in his heart.

Chuzhou was the first big city controlled by the rebel army.

If Chuzhou was lost, Dingyuan would probably be doomed as well. What's the use of just rescuing Zhu Han.

The hope now is that Zhu Yuanzhang can lead the main force back to Chuzhou as soon as possible.

at the same time.

Inside Haozhou city.

Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang of the Eastern Route Army just led his army to repel the heavy invading Yuan army.

After some fighting, the rebels captured a lot of money, and now they are throwing a feast to celebrate.

Zhu Yuanzhang had the highest status and sat at the top.

The rest of the marshals Guo Zixing, Sun Deya, and Ma Laizi were divided into left and right.

Now that the heavy soldiers of the Yuan army have been repelled, the rest of the activities of the people naturally return to internal fighting.

This time Haozhou was besieged, and Guo Zixing's troops were simply insufficient.

In order to ensure the safety of Haozhou in the future, we must rely on Zhu Yuanzhang's military strength.

However, Sun Deya and others were unwilling to be controlled by others, so Sun Deya and others had already discussed that they were going to welcome Xuzhou's Red Scarf Army Peng Da and others to Haozhou to replace Zhu Yuanzhang who had a close relationship with Guo Zixing.

"I saved you, you bastards, but you want to kill donkeys, how can I take advantage of you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself.

As for Sun Deya and others' schemes, he had already seen clearly with Xu Da and others.
