For Zhang Shicheng, Xu Da's attack was absolutely fierce.

Because since Xu Da started his fierce attack, his original strategically stored defensive weapons were quickly exhausted.

The most in short supply here are stones specially designed to hit people and bows and arrows to hit wherever you want.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was far away in Jinling, seemed to know Zhang Shicheng's current situation, so he wrote two letters using the unique calligraphy of his monk background.

A letter written to Xu Da.

The general meaning should be to say: If the military orders abroad are not accepted, you should open your heart and play boldly. I am 100% assured of you. When you take Pingjiang City, I will give you credit.

Another letter was written to Zhang Shicheng.

I hope he can surrender and give him enough benefits in the letter.

You want to be an official, you want to be a king.

As long as you surrender, I can give you anything except my throne!

Faced with such a dilemma, Zhang Shicheng did not hesitate.

He used his own practical actions to reply a letter to Zhu Jiajun outside the city and Zhu Yuanzhang far away in Yingtian.

There is only one meaning.

If you want me to surrender, just dream!

Carrying it to death is my last word.

Even if I die, I will not surrender.

After his attitude was clear, Zhang Shicheng came up with an effective solution to the dilemma.

Demolish houses and break down walls.

He ordered his soldiers to carry out extensive damage to the houses in the city, and then used the wood removed from the houses to make arrows and the bricks and tiles left over from the broken walls to make guns.

Use these arrows to shoot these bastards to death, and use the bricks and tiles from the broken wall to kill these bastards outside the city who have forced themselves to a dead end!

As a soldier under Zhang Shicheng, I must be happy about Zhang Shicheng's decision.

Boss, if you ask me to build a house, I won't be able to do it, but if you ask me to destroy it, I will definitely be a good hand!

You all stand aside, I will do the business of sabotage alone!

To be precise, Zhang Shicheng's method is feasible in a short period of time.

But the time cannot be too long.

After all, there are a lot of houses in the city.

After all, what can be dismantled is limited.

When the last game of resistance, such as breaking down walls and demolishing houses, was completely over, Zhang Shicheng, who seemed to have expected that the city wall was about to be breached, made a bold decision. He ordered Xu Yi and Pan Yuan, who were guarding the west gate, to organize an organization

A group of commandos charged at the highly motivated Zhu Jiajun.

This is a true death squad.

Zhang Shicheng believed that he could escape as long as he broke a hole.

And as long as he can escape, he will one day make a comeback.

Then I can fight to the death with you, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Among the eight city gates, Zhang Shicheng finally chose Chang Gate.

I don't know why Zhang Shicheng chose Changmen as the city gate.

In my personal opinion, if Zhang Shicheng chooses to attack other city gates, such as Loumen, Xumen, West Gate or North Gate, he will have at least a 50-50 chance of winning.

Because the guards at these gates are weaker in terms of combat effectiveness and merit, Zhang Shicheng would at least have a greater chance of winning if he chose these gates.

But he did not choose these gates.

Instead, he chose Changmen.

Perhaps in Zhang Shicheng's opinion, Changmen is the most difficult gate to defend and the one with the weakest enemy forces!

Anyway, no matter what the reason, Zhang Shicheng finally chose Changmen.

Maybe his strategy was the right one at the time.

But he chose the wrong opponent.

Because the general guarding Changmen is Chang Yuchun.

He is known as the tiger general who can conquer the world if you give me one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Chang Yuchun.

Facing such an army, Chang Yuchun also told Zhang Shicheng a truth.

If you want to use me as a breakthrough point, you will be blinded!

When Xu Yi and Pan Yuan led their troops to open the city gate and swarm out as Zhang Shicheng's advance troops, Chang Yuchun acted like a fierce general in the face of this sudden group of assault troops.

He did not flinch at all, but urgently dispatched a thousand soldiers and horses to launch a counterattack against tens of thousands of enemy troops.

The final result was that both commanders were killed, while the rest of the troops returned to the city urgently after their boss was killed.

The raid plan was completely shattered due to the death of two people.

In this military game of fierce attack and death, Pingjiang City withstood Zhu's army's successive attacks for eight months.

Eight months later, Pingjiang City, with all its houses demolished, finally reached its final destination.

In September of the twenty-seventh year of Zhizheng (AD 1367), Pingjiang City was completely captured.

When the city gate was breached, the Pingjiang defenders, who had been lost, defected.

Faced with this cruel fact, Zhang Shicheng, as the absolute boss in Pingjiang City, did not make a decision similar to Chen Youliang's decision to directly strangle the rebels.

He is not Chen Youliang, he does not have Chen Youliang's unscrupulous bloodthirsty personality!

Instead of stopping these deserters, he ordered people to move countless boxes out of the warehouse.

Hidden inside these boxes are the savings he has worked hard to save over the past few years.

There's a lot of gold and silver in it, and it's all jewelry!

But he has no use for it now.

Once the city is destroyed, these things will no longer belong to you.

If this is the case, then be a good person first.

He distributed all the money to everyone.

Faced with the absolute temptation of huge amounts of money, Zhang Shicheng asked everyone to take whatever they wanted!

As long as your pockets are big enough and your neck is thick enough, you can take as much as you want!

While holding them, accompany me on this final journey!

Then he ordered everyone to abandon the city.

Switch to street fighting.

And when Xu Da led his troops into Pingjiang, they were completely scattered but dug trenches in the streets to prepare for a desperate battle. As the leader, Xu Da was completely dumbfounded.

He had no idea that Zhang Shicheng, who was a private salt dealer, would be so difficult to deal with.

This Zhang Shicheng, who cannot be beaten to death or chewed to bits, is just like a cockroach Xiaoqiang who will not cry until he sees the coffin.

Faced with this situation, Xu Da, who was already in sight of victory, had to organize troops and horses again to clear the enemy.

I personally think that Xu Da, who has been fighting fiercely for eight months, must be angry at this time. He never thought that Zhang Shicheng would be such a stalking gangster.

So I think Xu Da definitely had the intention to kill Zhang Shicheng at this time.

At this time, facing the determined Zhang Shicheng, Xu Da, as the general but already murderous, received another letter from Yingtian.

This letter also comes from Yingtian.

The letter writer is still Zhu Yuanzhang.

There are two main points in this letter.

The first point: It is forbidden to massacre the people, and those who disobey the order will be killed!

The second point: Zhang Shicheng is not allowed to be killed. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!

The last point, and the most important point, is to strategically persuade Zhang Shicheng to surrender.

As long as we can persuade him to surrender, all treatment will be favorable and the form will be simple!

Looking at the envelope in his hand, Xu Da gradually regained his senses.

The boss has spoken, and Xu Da, as a general, can only obey.

He began to organize his troops for strategic contraction.

Eliminate the remaining enemies in the city one by one.

At the same time, Zhang Shicheng was persuaded to surrender by distributing leaflets or making propaganda.

With the city wall broken and the soldiers basically cleared away, Zhang Shicheng, a private salt dealer, told Xu Da a truth.

Scholars can be killed but not humiliated.

You want me to surrender, unless you step over my body!
