Daming heir

In fact, Zhu Yunxi was not asleep.

The battle is near and no one wants to sleep.

If it weren't for the generals in the army constantly inspecting the camp and urging them loudly, the officers and soldiers of the Taisun Department would not even close their eyes.

However, as long as people close their eyes, coupled with the days of rushing, they still fall into light sleep after all.

Wait until the sun is setting and the sky is getting late.

The camp also slowly wafted bursts of fragrance.

The Hutou soldiers held big iron spoons and knocked on the lid of the pot, making a bang bang bang sound.

"dinner's ready!"

"You bastards who are straight to the mother, get up for me!"

Most people who cook are not to be messed with.

Even if the sound of knocking on the cast-iron pot lid was just outside the tent, the officers and soldiers inside could only curse twice in a low voice, and after they walked out of the tent, they asked flatteringly what was the attack tonight? For a meal in front of the city, can they eat more, can they have two more pieces of meat.

The Huotou soldiers raised their eyebrows, raised their heads, and squinted at the officers and soldiers who were questioning.

"Eating so much, can you guys without eggs be able to climb the city wall?"

"No meat to eat! When you enter the city, you will eat Grandpa. Grandpa washed himself and jumped into the frying pan!"

Amidst the yelling and cursing of the Hutou soldiers, the whole camp was only left with the sound of constantly pulling food.

On the west side of Daluo City, Zhu Quan, the forward battalion of the Central Army of the Southern Expedition Army.

Behind Zhu Quan in military uniform, the five thousand soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion were also eating their pre-war dinner.

Zhu Quan led several generals and soldiers in the battalion, looked at the top of Daluo City, and then turned to Taisun's tribe in the south of the city.

"The grandson's dinner is already ready."

The lieutenant immediately cupped his hands and replied: "A quarter of an hour ago, someone came from Taisun's side, and dinner is already served."

Zhu Quan nodded, and the journey to the south gave this nobleman the appearance of a frontier general: "After the war, you lead 2000 troops to attack the western city wall. I will lead the remaining [-] troops to support the grandson at any time."

The lieutenant dare not refuse, these are the established siege strategies.

After arranging the siege battle tonight, Zhu Quan let out a long breath.

He hopes that he can quickly become like the fourth brother and be able to take charge of Daming alone, but he also understands that this battle tonight is something that Chang Sheng absolutely does not allow others to intervene.

On the north bank of the Red River, the Central Army of the Southern Expedition has also begun to eat.

Chang Sheng also stood on the high ground by the river, leading the generals in the army to look at Da Luo City.

Because of Daluo City's obstruction, Zhu Yunxi's tribe in the south could not see it.

At this moment, on the bank of the Red River under the high ground, the first batch of officers and soldiers who had eaten were already putting huge wooden boxes into the water.

Because it is a plain, the water of the Red River outside Daluo City is neither deep nor swift.

The huge wooden box, which can accommodate five people in parallel, floated up after sinking into the water.Then the officers and soldiers went down into the water before the wooden box had soaked through the river and sank to the bottom, drove thick wooden stakes into the river bed, and tied them together with the wooden box.

Among the officers and soldiers of the Changsheng Department, only the infantry who attacked the city crossed the river.

Almost all the cavalry were in Zhu Quan's camp, and the artillery only needed to fire across the river.A wooden box that does not sink into the bottom of the water is enough for the army to cross the river and complete the task of capturing Da Luo City. ....
The deputy general never spoke when he saw the general.

After thinking about it, I found a topic: "After this battle, Jiaozhi Dao and Ping, our army will continue to go south after taking a rest. I heard that Qinghua City is well managed by Taisun, and those merchants have already started Settled in, mining wood, picking spices, looking for gems and mineral deposits in the western mountains and forests."

Chang Sheng didn't show his face, so that people can't see his heart, he just said calmly: "Qinghua City is near the sea, if it is connected with Changhua, Jiaozhi Road should be headed by Qinghua City."

The lieutenant general then said: "Behind the mountains to the west, there are indeed countless flat and fertile lands."

After speaking, the vice
Jiang then silently looked at Chang Sheng.

He is also an honorable general of the Ming Dynasty, and he also wants to replace the fields in the Central Plains with Jiaozhi Road.

Chang Sheng finally moved, and looked back at the lieutenant general and the other generals around him.

"After three to five years of hard work, we have pacified the south and rebuilt a land in the south of the Yangtze River. You and I are all heroes of the country."

All the generals immediately said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, the country is benevolent, and the general is unparalleled."

Chang Sheng was indifferent, and suddenly pointed to Da Luo City: "After the city is broken, I will capture Chen Yuandan for my commander. This commander wants to see him."

All the generals hesitated for a moment, then they all nodded and accepted the order.

Chen Yuandan was the head coach of Da Luo City, but he was nothing more than mediocre. Since the general wanted to see him, the army would naturally be able to capture him in front of the general.

……

"The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and be promoted to three ranks."

"Lord Hou Bo, all tonight."

"After the battle, I'll be alone to ask for merit for you!"

"On the day I return to Beijing, I will be applauded by the people all over the city."

Da Luo City is not considered a strong city, but it is not so easy to capture.

For the first time, Zhu Yunxi shouted in front of the army to inspire the officers and soldiers under his command.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Da Ming Wan Sheng!"

The sky shook, and the defenders in Da Luo City panicked for a while.

The Ming army is about to attack the city.

A sense of oppression filled the defenders on the entire city wall in an instant, and the sound of drums filled everyone's ears in an instant. After a while, Da Luo City was lit by countless torches.

As the most stubborn five generals in Da Luo City, who had no chance of surrender, they all went to various sections of the southern city wall.

With the city, even if you die, you will have no regrets.

There were those who surrendered like Chen Qiong, and naturally there were also those who vowed not to surrender.

In front of Da Luo City.

The Ming army has already started.

Zhu Gaochi, who was wearing heavy armor, was eager to try, but was held back by a hand stretched from behind.

Afterwards, he saw Zhu Shangbing who had put down his mask and snorted coldly.

"You stay here, except for the cannons of Luezhen, all the rest are aimed at one point, and I will give you a hard bombardment!"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Yunxi who had already drawn out his long knife, and had no choice but to nod, and then clasped Zhu Shangbing's shoulder with his backhand: "Look at Brother Xi."

Zhu Shangbing laughed loudly: "A certain family will be the first to climb the city wall today, and make a way for brother Xie!"

Then, Zhu Shangbing left Zhu Gaochi with a good-looking back, and led his soldiers and horses towards Daluo City with great ambition.

boom.

A loud noise, with a cluster of dazzling flames, pierced and illuminated the night sky south of Da Luo City. ....
I saw a red fireball running straight towards Da Luo City.

Another bang.

Da Luo City seemed to shake under the night, and there was a burst of exclamation on the city wall not far from the city gate.

Afterwards, all the artillery brought over from Zhu Quan roared in unison.

Countless cannonballs, like falling stars, passed over the guards of the shield soldiers, pressed on the heads of the officers and soldiers of the Ming army in Da Luo City, and rushed towards the city wall of Da Luo City.

The artillery at this time is not accurate.

Aim in a general direction and where it lands, no one can say for sure.

However, countless cannons fired in unison, and most of the shells fell on the city wall after all.

The defenders, who had already drawn their bows and arrows, shot out the arrows in their hands in a panic, and they landed softly on the ground outside the city.

After the first horse rushed to the front three miles of the city wall, there were a few metal crashes on Zhu Yunxie's armor.

"Shoot the firecracker upwards, let me hold down the people on the city wall!"

"The shield soldiers resisted, and the ladder followed!"

generals in the army

They kept making noises to remind the officers and soldiers under their command what to do.

Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, who was arranged on the left side of Zhu Yunxi, and Zhang Wen, who was on the right side, always led the officers and soldiers under their command and focused their attention on the city wall in front of Taisun.

Siege is boring, but defense is still the same.

Before the emergence of absolute weapons, the means of siege and defense were mostly the same.

Both sides are filling it with human lives.

In the end, it becomes a matter of seeing which side has more people, more supplies, and higher morale.

Zhu Shangbing, who rushed to the front, held a shield in one hand and knocked away the stones falling from the city wall, and waved the long knife in his hand to chop down the bows and arrows shot down from the city wall.

"Go up the wall!"

Under the walls of Da Luo City, there was a constant roar, making it difficult for people to hear what the people around them were saying.

Escorted by officers and soldiers, countless ladders hooked onto the wall.

In front of Zhu Shangbing, three ladders were placed side by side.

Under the ladder, countless officers and soldiers with shields in their hands were facing the stones and arrows that kept falling from the city wall.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't feel the existence of his left arm anymore.

The shield in his hand has been cracked.

However, Zhu Shangbing's roar reached his ears.

After cutting off an arrow feather that was heading towards him, Zhu Yunxi quickly glanced left and right.

The Ming army had already begun to climb towards the city wall through the ladders. Encouraged by the promotion to the third rank, everyone used all their skills.

Not staying any longer, Zhu Yunxi resisted the attack from the top of the city, and finally led the people to rush to the bottom of the city wall to join Zhu Shangbing.

"Up to the wall."

"I am right beside you!"

Without more time to elaborate, Zhu Shangbing grabbed Zhu Yunxi's shoulders, and the two walked down the ladder to the front of the ladder through the opening made by the shield soldiers.

There is already a group of jumping soldiers in front of them, ready to climb up the ladder.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi rushing over, the officers and soldiers of this group immediately climbed up the ladder and rushed up towards the city wall.

Zhu Yunxi was in the middle, Zhu Shangbing was on one side, and on the other side was a soldier holding a shield.

"Down to the city!"...
An arrow crossed the edge of the shield, and nailed to the ground between Zhu Yunxi's neck and shoulders.

Zhu Yunxi glanced up and bit the knife in his mouth.

On the front wall, there are ladders one by one, climbing upwards almost like a human being.

Officers and soldiers rushing forward were constantly hit and fell to the bottom of the city wall.

Holding the shield, Zhu Yunxi only heard a bang above his head, and his whole arm hit the top of his head heavily. From the corner of his eyes, the officers and soldiers standing in front of him had already fallen to the city wall behind him.

"Seize the city!"

"Fight to the death!"

Before Zhu Yunxi could react, there was a sound of fighting above his head.

Ping-pong-pong.

Moved the shield slightly, and Zhu Yunxi saw that the ladder in front of him had come to an end.

He was about to turn his head to look at Zhu Shangbing beside him.

But he saw that a stone had already hit him from one side.

Zhu Shangbing, who was about to climb the city wall, was furious.

"Get out of the way!"

Afterwards, Zhu Shangbing actually held up the shield, and slammed his feet violently, and the stone hit his thigh.

With a roar, the long knife and shield in Zhu Shangbing's hand fell off, and he leaned back and smashed down the city wall.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were bloodshot in an instant, he threw down the shield in his hand, and kicked his legs and jumped up.

Suddenly bright.

The tops of the three ladders were already covered in bright red, with corpses lying on the ground.

Before Zhu Yunxi could gain a firm foothold, several officers and soldiers of Da Luo City's defenders were already besieging and killing them with long knives in all directions.

Zhu Yunxi, who went up to the city wall alone, held a knife in both hands, his legs sank, and the long knife stood between his eyes.

Siege of the City doesn't have too many bells and whistles.

One side defends the city, the other captures it.

The people who seized the city rushed to the top of the city again and again, and the people who defended the city knocked down the top of the city again and again.

It is impossible to retreat from the city wall, and there is no retreat.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were locked tightly, and the surrounding defenders of Da Luo City were babbling and yelling words that he could not understand.

Four or five long knives slashed from all around.

Behind the swordsmen, several long spears came out just in time.

Holding a knife in both hands, Zhu Yunxi looked for a direction, roared angrily, and stepped forward.

The blade cut down the long knives of the first two enemy soldiers. Zhu Yunxie had already adjusted his posture, and slammed into the two people in front of him with his shoulders sideways.

A few long spears that had just drilled in steadily came out from the back of the guards of Da Luo City.

Zhu Yunxi turned around and began to swing the knife in his hand to slash the enemy sideways.

Blood stained the moon.

In response, several enemies had already fallen in front of Zhu Yunxi.

And he took this opportunity to look sideways outside the city wall.

Several shields had already passed the city wall, and the roar of Daming Wansheng was endless.

Hold this ground!

This is the only thought in Zhu Yunxi's mind at the moment.

By defending this place, more Ming troops will be able to charge up the city wall, and only then can the situation be opened up on the city wall, allowing more people to charge up.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was no match for the enemy, the guards and soldiers immediately hid behind the spears.

clang clang clang.

Several long spears struck Zhu Yunxi's back heavily. If he hadn't dodged in time, the visor would have been pierced by the two coordinated long spears. ....
Not daring to stop, Zhu Yunxi moved left and right, so as to firmly protect the three ladders behind him.

"Da Ming Wan Sheng!"

"Grandfather ascends the city!"

"Hurry up and protect Your Highness!"

With two bangs, two Daming jumping soldiers holding shields landed on the wall of Da Luo City.

"Grandson!"

The two looked at Zhu Yunxi anxiously, and seeing that he was safe, they hurriedly stood in front of Zhu Yunxi with shields in their hands.

"Kill it!"

"Go to the location of the gate tower!"

There were more and more footsteps landing on the city behind him, and Zhu Yunxi had already rushed out of the shield guards of two jumping soldiers, and swung his knife towards the gate of the city to kill them.

The two jumping soldiers looked anxiously, and looked back at their comrades who climbed the wall behind them.

"Follow Your Highness to seize the city!"

There was a roar, except for the officers and soldiers guarding the ladder, the rest chased Zhu Yunxi who rushed out and killed him.

"Going to the castle! Going to the castle!"

"Boom!"

"Boom to the city gate tower!"

In Taisun's camp outside the city, Zhu Gaochi, holding a binoculars, saw with his own eyes that Ming's troops had begun to rush up the city wall one by one. Although he couldn't tell who it was, he still roared angrily.

Beside him, there were nearly twenty cannons lined up.

Following the command of the army commander, the gunners began to fine-tune the muzzle after firing the previous round.

Zhu Gaochi put down the binoculars, put his other hand on the saber on his waist, and walked back and forth anxiously in front of the formation, looking at the other two sides of Daluo City from time to time.

"Quick, give me all faster!"

Nourishes...

A series of artillery fuses were ignited, making a crackling sound.

Then there was a roar of unison.

Countless flames shot towards the gate tower of Da Luo City like thunder.

After one round, the officers and soldiers cleaned the barrel and filled it with gunpowder projectiles.

Fire it up, fire it up.

Almost as if they didn't need money, they shot out rounds of projectiles, without any scruples about whether the barrel of the gun might explode.

The gate tower of the southern city of Da Luo City, which imitated the style built by the Ming Dynasty, only survived two rounds, and it was fully restored before the third round of artillery attack.

The seat turned into a sea of ​​flames, and collapsed with a loud bang.

However, the artillery never stopped.

The army commander did not issue an order to stop, so the gunners began to shoot at the city walls and gates.

The city wall has been completely destroyed.

As the ladders transported Ming army officers and soldiers towards the city wall, the entire city wall was divided into battle groups in an instant.

The defenders in Da Luo City were rushing towards the city wall, and the Ming army outside the city was also rushing towards the city wall.

People stepping on people, flesh against flesh, almost to the point of hand-to-hand combat.

Zhu Yunxi, who was looking for the city gate tower all the way to kill him, had already gathered dozens of officers and soldiers behind him after crossing five ladders hooked on the city wall.

But because of the Da Luo City general flag in front, the possibility of advancing was severely stopped.

A guard of Da Luo City holding two copper hammers stared at Zhu Yunxi who had cut down two guard officers and soldiers standing in front of him with blood red eyes.

With his hand, he swung the two copper hammers, which were much bigger than fists, and kept hitting the iron armor on his chest.

"Roar!"….
The guard bent over, stretched his neck, and kept roaring.

"Your Highness, retreat!"

The officers and soldiers of the Ming army who followed Zhu Yunxi couldn't help sounding their alarm.

However, Zhu Yunxi had already rushed forward with the same knife straightly.

The officers and soldiers panicked and hurriedly followed and killed them.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already loosened one hand from the hilt of the knife, fixed his eyes on the two copper hammers wielded by the other guard, and relied on inertia from behind to hit him from the bottom up.

In an instant.

Just when the copper hammer was about to hit Zhu Yunxi's lower abdomen, his figure was crooked, as if the corpse under his feet had slipped and slid to one side.

Dodge the copper hammer.

Zhu Yunxi, who had already let go of one hand, stretched out his palm and slapped it heavily on the ground.

The whole person held a long knife and shoveled from the guard's side to the back.

Ding sound.

The long knife and the copper hammer collided.

Zhu Yunxi's mouth was in pain, and the long knife fell to the ground.

And he has already reached the defender's hand.

A bang.

Zhu Yunxi pulled out a dagger from his boots. Relying on his inertia, he hooked one hand on the guard's back and turned around in a circle, facing the guard's back.

The dagger in his hand was already in front of the guard.

A stab.

The dagger sliced ​​across the guard's neck.

Zhu Yunxi clasped the back of the guard's hand, and he had already grabbed the end of the opponent's hair. After the dagger was sent out, he struck back again, and it was heavily inserted into the spine.

There was a muffled sound, Zhu Yunxi shook the hand holding the opponent's hair, and a cloud of blood mist was created.

A column of blood with weak pressure gushed out in front of Zhu Yunxi's eyes.

Blood splashed everywhere, staining his eyes red.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming army who followed Zhu Yunxi and killed them rushed to Zhu Yunxi's back, blocking the enemy army following behind the defender of Daluo City.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming army who fell behind protected Zhu Yunxi.

He glanced at the head of the guard held by the emperor's grandson, and then at the general's flag beside him.

An officer and soldier spat out a mouthful of blood, stepped forward with a knife in hand, kicked the flag down, and fell towards the outside of the city wall.

"Da Ming Wan Sheng!"

"The one who took the city, the grandson of Emperor Ming!"

"The guard of Da Luo City is dead!"

The officers and soldiers of the Ming army guarding around Zhu Yunxi had already started roaring loudly.

The officers and soldiers who rushed up from the ladder outside the city looked at the emperor's grandson who was holding the enemy's head with his hands in an invincible posture, and they also roared angrily.

boom!
A roar came from the city gate not far behind Zhu Yunxi.

And

Then there were bursts of roars like landslides and ground cracks.

Huge air waves surged in all directions.

"The city is broken!"

"All generals and soldiers follow me to the battle!".
