Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 54 Bai Chu personally leads the troops
  Zhu Neng personally led a fierce attack, but failed to reach the top of the wall.

Even if the Tatars were not good at defense, arrows, logs, and stones were falling like raindrops, and the Ming army was helpless.

Bai Chu watched with Zhu Di for a long time, but found that the attack was frustrated by "633", so he gave Zhu Di an idea.

"Your Majesty, the weather is cold and it is really difficult to climb. It is very disadvantageous for us. It is better to attack from all sides. This is the best strategy."

"There is a saying in the art of war: if you are ten, you are to surround it; if you are five, you are to attack it; if you are twice as many, you are to fight."

"Now our strength is ten times that of the enemy. This is the best time to attack from all sides."

Zhu Di nodded slightly when he heard this, but still warned:

"Yes, we have to divide our forces to attack, but we don't attack from all sides, but we surround them."

Zhu Di has been in the military for many years and knows that despair is the most terrifying thing.
  After a group of people lose hope, anything can happen.

Especially those soldiers, once they lose hope of survival, they will become desperadoes.

Wei Liaozi once said that thousands of people were killed and rampant in the world.

As long as one person can lead ten thousand warriors who are not afraid of death, he can control the world.

Therefore, surrounding three places and then chasing down the defeated troops is the Chinese tactic.

"As long as these people see a hope of escape, even if they know it is a trap, they will not have the courage to die. Instead, they will turn around and run away, exposing their backs to the enemy."

After hearing Zhu Di's words, Bai Chu immediately said:
  "I am willing to capture this city for the prince!"

"Haha, very good. It's rare for Mr. Bai to be so elegant."

Zhu Di laughed, the sadness on his face was wiped away, and he said:
  "I will send you 30,000 troops and horses to detour to the north city. I wish you a triumphant return!"

Zhu Di sent Bai Chu north to prevent the rebels from escaping from the north.

Shenyang is to the north of Haizhou, and Nancheng is a sea area. As long as these Tatars escape from Nancheng, they are seeking death.

Bai Chu immediately took the order and left, leading 30,000 troops and horses, marching toward Beicheng under the banner of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di asked Qiu Fu to go around to the east city and attack from three directions at the same time, but the south city was empty.

However, Zhu Di has ordered Zhu Quan to lead the three Duoyan guards to prepare. Once the Tatars leave Nancheng, they will be hunted down with the most brutal force.

At the city gate of Haizhou, the generals guarding the city suddenly became extremely nervous when they saw Zhu Di's flag flapping and heading north.

He immediately dispatched his troops and generals to reinforce the northern city wall.

This also gave Zhu Neng an opportunity. Zhu Neng put on the three-layer armor himself and prepared to lead the charge himself.

The attack on Xicheng has reached its most intense stage. The Ming army continues to attack the city, and the Tatars are increasingly struggling, and they are about to be unable to hold on.

In desperation, the generals who defended the city could only mobilize a group of reinforcements from the North City, and then barely stabilized the battle situation, but everyone knew that this situation would not last long.

Bai Chu arrived at the North City and took a look at the city wall here. He knew that the city wall here was more majestic and stronger than the city wall in the West City. But Bai Chu didn't take it to heart, and instead ordered his men to set up a ladder. After everything was done, Bai Chu raised his sword lightly and said loudly: "Brothers, you can control the glory and wealth yourself."

"If you want to seal your wife's shadow, come with me and kill them all!"

"kill!!"

Bai Chu said, raising a shield above his head, and under everyone's stunned gaze, he took the lead and rushed towards Beicheng. This scene shocked the Tatar soldiers on top of the city.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Bai Chu held a long sword and a shield and rushed towards Beicheng without looking back.

The arrows rained down like locusts, falling on the ground, but they couldn't hurt Bai Chu at all.

Even if there are thousands of troops, I will rush over!
  At this time, Bai Chu's figure seemed thin, but his majestic body was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds!
  "Kill! Follow the general and kill him!"

Bai Chu's bravery boosted the morale of the Ming army behind him. They roared in unison and rushed towards Haizhou City with Bai Chu.

Even the coach would risk his life, let alone young players like them?
  Today, even if I risk my life, I will accompany such a general through life and death to strive for glory, wealth, and a wife and son.

Without any unnecessary words, the morale of the Ming army had risen to its peak. As if they had been injected with stimulants, they charged towards the city without fear of death.

Bai Chu, dressed in a dark red brocade robe, seemed a bit out of place in this battlefield.

Whether it was arrows or boulders, Bai Chu could easily dodge them, and none of them could hurt Bai Chu.

Bai Chu held the shield in one hand and the ladder with the other, continuing to climb up.

Although he climbed slowly, this did not prevent Bai Chu from climbing up step by step.

In the melee, shouts of killing could be heard endlessly.

On the city wall, the Ming army gradually appeared, charging and killing without fear of death. Even though the Tatars had the terrain advantage, it was difficult to stop the Ming army's advance.

However, because there were too many enemy troops on the city wall, the Ming troops who rushed up were either chopped into pieces or pushed off the city wall by the Tatars.

Just when Bai Chu was about to approach the city wall, Tatar wanted to push Bai Chu away. Unfortunately, Bai Chu was only a short distance away from the city wall.

Bai Chu kicked his feet, jumped up to the city wall, waved his sword in his hand, and a stream of blood spurted out, landing directly on the city wall.

Seeing Bai Chu climb up the city wall, the Tatars suddenly became crazy, shouted loudly, and attacked him.

It's a pity that Bai Chu is wearing a black scale armor, which is hard to be hurt by swords, and his movements are also very agile. These Tatars can't cause any harm to him.

On the contrary, Bai Chu's sword skills quickly cleared a large area, and the Ming Dynasty army took the opportunity to rush to the city wall. In a short time, dozens of Ming Dynasty soldiers gathered on the city wall.

The Ming army quickly formed a formation with Bai Chu as the center, then expanded the city wall and stood firm to welcome more Ming soldiers.

By this time, the Tatars basically had no chance, and as more and more Ming Dynasty soldiers rushed to the city wall, it was only a matter of time before the North City fell.

I don't know who shouted something, and the Tatars in Beicheng took the lead in fleeing.

"Beicheng has been breached! Beicheng has been breached!"

The news that the North City had been lost quickly spread throughout the city, and the people stationed at various city gates panicked and fled in all directions.

At the same time, when he heard that Zhu Di had arrived in Haizhou City, Lebbock, who was still a little hesitant at first, also issued an order to attack Shenyang City.

However, unlike the desperate battle of the Ming army in Haizhou, the Tatars attacked the city and showed some laziness.

Although the siege equipment built was relatively complete, including ladders, railings, and siege equipment, the Tatar offensive was not very fierce. When the siege engines were burned and the Tatars abandoned the bodies of nearly a thousand people, they decided to retreat.
