Daming heir

Chapter 282

There is only one hot word to describe the Jiaozhi Road in June.

Even the air was scorched by the scorching sun like billowing waves. Driven by the breeze, it swept towards the people in a visibly visible form, mixed with the turbulent heat waves, making people sweat, like rain.

The entire Da Luo City has completely turned into a battlefield.

To the west of Daluo City, [-] soldiers and horses, commanded by King Ning of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Quan, the vanguard commander of the Southern Expedition Army, set up camp ten miles away from Daluo City.

And in the north of the city, there is a huge military camp with more than 3 Ming troops. It is opposite the Red River outside Daluo City, with the river bank as the camp wall.

The four gates of Da Luo City were closed tightly, and no one could enter or leave all day long.

On the two-and-a-half-foot-high city wall, there are countless officers and soldiers on duty day and night, guarding against the main force of the Ming army on the other side of the Red River from crossing the river to attack the city.

In order to prevent the Ming army from taking advantage of the situation, Da Luo City directly turned a blind eye to the [-] Ming troops heading west of the city.

At this time, the crops in the entire Jiaozhi Road field have matured.

However, Da Luo City, which clearly occupies Da Luo City and owns the nominal ownership of the land outside the city, does not dare to leave the city to harvest grain.

Can't collect food.

The Ming army was ready to fight again, sitting alone on the other side of the Red River.

Therefore, Chen Yuandan, who is now the highest military authority in Da Luo City, issued an order that almost everyone wanted to oppose.

Burn the fields outside the city to prevent the Ming army from supplying food and grass.

Almost everyone wants to object, but because the Ming army is by their side, no one wants to let the Ming army eat to fill their stomachs.

Under the ignition for several days in succession.

The entire outside of Da Luo City became a piece of scorched earth.

Countless ripe grains were still growing in the fields, and they were burned by a fire.

However, what was surprising was that neither Zhu Quan in the west of Daluo City nor Chang Sheng on the other side of the Red River took the initiative to send people to put out the fire.

Even if the daring Chen Yuandan troops crossed the Red River and burned all the crops dozens of miles away around the Chinese army's camp, no Ming army came forward to stop them.

"Chen Yuandan was very cautious. All the fields within thirty miles were reserved."

Outside the Ming army camp on the north bank of the Red River, on a high ground, the commander of the Southern Expedition Army and a group of generals gathered here.

The deputy general in the army looked at the crops being harvested by the officers and soldiers within [-] miles around the camp, and said lightly with a smile on his face.

Now that he is in front of the battle, Chang Sheng is wearing a full body of armor, even the visor can be put down from the helmet.

He turned his head and glanced at the city walls of Da Luo City with countless officers, soldiers and battle flags, and snorted coldly.

"Chen Yuandan is very steady, he wants to drag us down to death."

Snapped!
While speaking, there was a soft sound from the crowd.

The lieutenant turned his head and looked over, and saw a general whose wrist was exposed, a shattered mosquito was stuck to the opened palm, the palm was stained red by the deep red blood, and the wrist was bitten by the mosquito at a speed visible to the naked eye. The place became red and swollen.

As a result, the deputy general's face gradually became gloomy: "Food and grass are not what we need to worry about the most. Whether it is Lang Son City, Taiyuan City or Xuanhua City, they can supply our army with the latest food this year. Only the mosquitoes here... "...
As he spoke, the lieutenant seemed to feel that the mosquito that was slapped to death by the general just now had bitten him, and the body under the armor could not help but twist.

Chang Sheng's expression was very calm, but he asked in a deep voice, "How are the soldiers in the camp now?"

The lieutenant stopped the itch from being bitten by mosquitoes in the cochin crazily in his head, and said in a low voice: "In the past two days, nearly a hundred soldiers have reacted due to mosquitoes. They have been sent to Lang Son City , handed over to the doctors of the Tai Hospital for treatment and relief.”

Cochin mosquitoes seem to be unstoppable.

Even though the mosquito-repelling medicine prepared by the Tai Hospital was burning every day and every moment in the camp, those mosquitoes seemed to be invulnerable and pervasive.

Even a well-prepared tent can be penetrated by these little things.

Chang Sheng nodded, and was quite satisfied with the current number.

You must know that they went south from Zhennan Pass, and after capturing Lang Son Pass, they formally entered the scope of Jiaozhi Road. Although there was a warning from the Tai Hospital, on the first night, there were no less than a thousand troops in just one night. Lieutenant generals, officers and soldiers have various symptoms due to mosquito bites.

Itching is the mildest symptom.

In severe cases, vomiting persists.

Even among the soldiers from the South who were transferred from Canton Road, many of them had these problems.

If it weren't for the people from the Tai Hospital getting angry in front of Chang Sheng and strengthening the requirements and regulations on mosquito control in the army, Chang Sheng felt that he could directly take people to hide in Lang Son City, and wait until winter to meet with Chen Yuandan Go to war.

The deputy general saw that the general was thinking about something, so he whispered: "Actually... Da Luo City is not a dangerous city, our army..."

This question was a long-standing doubt in the lieutenant general's mind, especially as the army was stationed outside Da Luo City for a longer period of time, the trouble became more intense.

Chang Sheng raised his head and glanced at the lieutenant general, then looked at the generals in front of him who also showed puzzled eyes, and smiled silently.

He put his hands in leather gloves behind his back and turned to look at Da Luo City across the Red River.

"The Supervising Army Headquarters in the direction of Qinghua City will take a few more days to reach Daluo City."

The deputy general thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness has already led the army through Ninghua Mansion, at most, he will be able to reach Daluo City in the day after tomorrow."

Chang Sheng nodded, with a smile on his face: "The day after tomorrow will be the day when our army will attack the city. At that time, the Ministry of Supervision will take the lead in attacking the city, and the forward battalion commander Zhu Quan will attack Daluo City as a flank."

The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, he did not understand such a military order as the general's on the military formation.

But soon, thinking about it from the perspective of the Great Ming Dynasty Hall, he instantly understood.

The surrounding generals also showed a look of enlightenment on their faces, and then everyone's expressions were different, with expectations and disagreements, and everyone had their own thoughts.

The lieutenant general thought for a while, changed his title, and said in a low voice: "When the supervising army attacked the city, our department began to cross the river. When the supervising army attacked the city wall, our department and the north of Daluo City launched an attack."

"Your military strategy is sophisticated, and there is nothing wrong with this strategy, so I followed Er's advice and attacked the city in the future."

Chang Sheng opened his mouth silently, but his palm was pointing in the direction of Da Luo City in front of him, and he grasped the void. ....
When it was spread out, a mosquito with broken wings and belly exploded, slowly slid down in mid-air with Chang Sheng's palm tilted, and fell to the ground while floating.

When Chang Sheng stepped forward, the mosquito had been completely crushed into the soil.

The deputy general looked at the back of the general returning to the camp, and looked at the heavily guarded Da Luo City on the other side of the Red River, but there was no way out, and he couldn't help humming twice.

Then he waved to the generals in the army here, and followed the general back to the camp to light a fire to drive away the mosquitoes.

……

"Speaking of which, your second uncle treats you really well."

Transiting the border from Ninghua Mansion, Zhu Gaochi, Sima Zhu Gaochi of the Taisun Army of the Southern Expedition Army who had already entered the state capital where Daluo City was located, was covered with a thin gauze net, and he was chanting to Zhu Yunxi who was driving his horse ahead.

Since the army left Tsinghua City, everyone in the army is dressed like Zhu Gaochi at this moment.

All the robes are covered with a layer of gauze, and all the hands, feet, mouth and nose are protected inside.

Zhu Yunxi was also no exception. Hearing Zhu Gaochi's voice, he turned the gauze above his neck to look at Zhu Gaochi.

"Originally, I didn't think so, but since the general arrived outside Da Luo City, I can only think of this reason."

While talking, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. It was obvious that he could understand Chang Sheng's actions, but he felt it was unnecessary after all.

Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Yunxi's thoughts, smiled and said: "That's fine too. The Taisun tribe will attack first, and if they can get to the city wall, then
Take the first victory in the city.It is indeed useless for you to be rewarded for meritorious service, but the honor of the first contribution is very beneficial to you. "

Zhu Yunxi smiled, noncommittal.

The second uncle who is now the head coach of General Nanzheng understands what he thinks.

In fact, regardless of whether or not to encircle Daluo City and wipe out Chen Yuandan's tribe in one fell swoop, the situation of Jiaozhi Dao has long been doomed.

Even if Chen Yuandan fought Da Luo City to the death and his men fled south, they would be blocked outside Qinghua City.If those defeated troops fled to the west, Ning Wang Zhu Quan would also be there.

Even if the rout can escape Zhu Quan's blockade, what is there to the west of Jiaozhi Road?
In places with high mountains and mountains, those people will not have an easy life.

But Chang Sheng, who had already led his army to the outside of Da Luo City, did not adopt the strategy of attacking the city immediately, but quietly waited outside Da Luo City, waiting for Zhu Yunxi to go.

Zhu Yunxi knew very well what the second uncle was thinking and what he was looking forward to.

After Emperor Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the grandson of Emperor Jianguo personally commanded an army to attack and capture the city.

The person who made the first contribution was the grandson of Emperor Ming.

This honor is what Chang Sheng wants to give himself.

A grandson of the superintendent emperor with outstanding military exploits and the bravery to win the city, in Daming both internally and externally, he revealed that he would not be a foolish and benevolent monarch, and would not suppress the generals.

And Zhu Yunxi, who has outstanding military achievements, will have more confidence when facing the officials in the court.

Moreover, within at least three generations of the Ming Dynasty, the status of the military would not be suppressed just because the country was at peace.

Rather than saying that this is the glory that Chang Sheng wants to get, it is better to say that this is what the Ming military wants to achieve by itself. ....
Zhu Gaochi smiled, took a deep look at Zhu Yunxi, and said tentatively: "The general is really willing to do so. If you want to take the lead, you have to personally lead the troops to attack the city, and even climb the city wall."

Zhu Yunxi said silently: "This is what it should mean, otherwise it would not be complete."

Zhu Gaochi restrained his expression, and said in a low voice: "The general is also expected, as long as he doesn't move, you have to take over this matter."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi stared fixedly at Zhu Yunxi without moving an inch.

Asking this sentence, in fact, Zhu Gaochi pointed out the essence of encircling Daluo City and Chang Sheng wanted Zhu Yunxi to win the first victory.

He, Chang Sheng, was forcing Zhu Yunxie to take the lead.

It belongs to the progress of the Jiaozhi Dao military strategy and war situation to force Zhu Yunxi to do this.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were silent, and he said softly: "Why did Seventeenth Uncle take a detour to the west, and then turn to the west of Daluo City, but he didn't say anything. It's just the general's intention. If there is a crisis in our department in Daluo City, Uncle Seventeen's forward battalion 5000 People and horses will rush up and send us to attack the walls of Da Luo City."

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth, then shook his head silently, showing a trace of regret: "Actually, it's a pity for Chen Yuandan, who knows that Annan is powerless, but still leads a group of soldiers and civilians to defend Daluo City."

"He is begging for death, begging me, Da Ming, to forgive Da Luo City."

Zhu Gaochi's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi who said this: "He is begging to die."

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Da Luo City is just a game now, a stage waiting for me to break the game."

Zhu Gaochi's face was in a trance, and he fell into deep thought.

Zhu Yunxi looked back at Xiaopang, smiled, then turned to look around.

Chen Yuandan did it very thoroughly. After entering the area of ​​Daluo City from Ninghua Mansion, all the fields where he entered were reduced to scorched earth, and grains of snow-white popcorn lay quietly in layers of ashes .

Zhu Yunxi looked towards the invisible Da Luo City.

Come to think of it, when Chen Yuandan, an old minister of Annan, ordered the burning of the crops outside the city, he was deeply saddened.

A complicated enemy that cannot be called an enemy.

Zhu Gaochi, who had been thinking for a long time, also had a gloomy look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Chen Yuandan will use himself to attack in exchange for Da Ming's forgiveness of the soldiers and civilians in Da Luo City."

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "That's the case, but it's not only that."

Zhu Gaochi, who had already thought it through, gave a hum, and continued: "He will also bear the crime of subjugation for Chen Min."

Zhu Yunxi let out a long sigh: "Chen Yuandan is actually Chen Chaozhongliang."

Zhu Gaochi nodded in agreement: "He will not flee or surrender, so he is waiting for you to come like a general, so that he can cooperate with the general to complete his goal.

Burning the fields of Da Luo City is more to bear the infamy of destroying food, so that the people of Da Luo City will despise him, so as to give me, Da Ming, a chance to help the people.

Bringing the civil and military officials in Daluo City who had never been able to go south to stand firm and die for the country, the heritage of the Chen Dynasty will be completely lost, and Chen Yun and Li Jishou in the south will no longer have the possibility of secretly rebelling.

Good guys and bad guys, let him do it alone. "

At the end, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sighed for a while.

Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, but was thinking about more things, wondering if Chen Yuandan had other ideas. ....
Zhu Gaochi paused for a moment, and then said again: "In this way, the city wall we attacked will be the most fierce battle, and also the opponent who most hopes to kill our Ming people."

Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath: "Chen Yuandan is going to send all the people in Da Luo City who do not want to submit to Ming Dynasty to us."

This is not something that ordinary people can do.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes flickered, and his face showed respect: "Chen Yuandan didn't deserve to die in Daluo City."

Zhu Yunxi was noncommittal: "After the siege, tell Brother Bing not to worry about other things, just find Chen Yuandan in Daluo City, I want to meet this person."

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "I want to see him too."

……

"I finally saw Da Luo City!"

Two days later, under the leadership of Qin Shizi Zhu Shangbing, the [-] soldiers from the forward battalion of the Taisun Department finally arrived ten miles south of Daluo City on horseback.

The distance of ten miles is not a long distance on a plain like Da Luo City.

Zhu Shangbing, who was riding on horseback, could even see the chaotic guards on the city wall and heard the arrival of the Ming army.

The heat wave solidified and surged between the two sides.

Zhu Shangbing poured two sips of water into the gauze net, looked at Da Luo City with unruly eyes, and waved his horsewhip: "Go, report back to your grandson, our troops have arrived at Da Luo City, and the enemy's garrison has not changed. Send people to cross the river and go to Da Luo City. The General's Central Military Office reported that Taisun's troops have arrived in the south of Daluo City."

"All the vanguard battalion got off their horses, took out the mosquito-repelling things, lit them in the surrounding fields, and waited for the army to bring them."

On the battlefield, Zhu Shangbing, who was under the command of [-] soldiers, finally put away his former escape, calm and orderly.

The Vanguard Battalion was quickly mobilized following Zhu Shangbing's military order.

Two groups of cavalry rushed in different directions.

The rest of the people got off their horses, tied the horses together, and then took a bag of herbs prepared by the Tai Hospital to repel mosquitoes from the horses.

Teams of officers and soldiers took herbs and began to spread into the field that had long been reduced to ashes.

Not long after, the officers and soldiers of Chen Yuandan's department standing on Daluo City saw the Ming army who had just arrived outside the city, and had already lit up thick smoke.

When Zhu Yunxi arrived ten miles outside Daluo City with his army.

The Pioneer Battalion is ready to set up tents.

After inspecting it, Zhu Yunxi got off his horse and walked to the forefront of the camp with his legs slightly spread.

In the binoculars, there are five general flags on the south wall of Da Luo City.

"Thinking about it, these five people are the stubborn people who Chen Yuandan gave us who refused to surrender." Zhu Gaochi also held a telescope in his hand, looking at the situation on the city wall, and said softly.

But Zhu Yunxi said: "Order the whole army to bury the pot and make food. At sunrise tomorrow, the Great Ming Zhengnan General needs to enter Daluo City."

Zhu Gaochi put down the binoculars in his hand, and conveyed the military order to bury the pot to make food to his messengers.

then he
Turning to look at Zhu Yunxi: "Siege the city tonight?"

"The general has waited for so long, and Chen Yuandan has also waited for so long. Since I'm here, don't let them wait any longer."

Ever since Zhu Gaochi understood the thoughts of Chen Yuandan in Daluo City, he has lost much interest in this war.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi looked extremely calm, as if the siege battle a few hours later was just a trivial matter.

"I just don't understand why Chen Yuandan is unwilling to surrender."

Before Zhu Yunxi could open his mouth, Zhu Gaochi continued: "Even if it is because of this that people who intend to rebel are left behind, it's great that we transfer Chen Qiong here and let him continue in Daluo City what he did in Qinghua City Just do it once."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Gaochi, and felt that this guy was actually the most black-hearted.

Then he looked around again, and suddenly said, "Where's Brother Bing?"

Zhu Gaochi opened his eyes to look around, and then pointed to the west: "Bing Geer took someone to Uncle Seventeen."

"Go get the cannon?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "These things have always been reserved for the general. We only have siege equipment this time, not a piece of artillery. When we pull it over to attack the city, we will suppress the city wall."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, waved his arms, and let out a breath.

"Sleep, wake me up when dinner is ready."

"No one can sleep tonight."
