Chapter 134 Offense and Defense

However, although Li Jinglong retreated, there were still 200,000 forward troops, and the situation in Beiping City was still not optimistic.

The trumpet sounded, and the 200,000 troops rushed towards Beiping City like a tide. In addition to the south gate, the east gate and west gate were also attacked by the imperial army.

The reason why there are no troops under the north gate to attack the city is actually Li Jinglong's deliberate arrangement. The siege army must be blocked, and a gap must be left in Beiping City. If Zhu Di cannot resist it inside, he must leave a way for others.

Letting people run away is not.

This was not because Li Jinglong was deliberately trying to embarrass Zhu Di. It was because the walls of Beiping City were high and thick. As the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, the repair of the city walls itself was much more careful than that of ordinary cities. What's more, King Zhongshan captured Beiping City after his Northern Expedition.

Some improvements were made in Beiping City.

Not to mention, after Zhu Di fell to the feudal vassal, he strengthened the Beiping City. After passing through the three masters of Yuanting, Zhongshan King, and Yan King, the Beiping City is now like a solid turtle shell. This Peiping is really called

The first fortified city of the Ming Dynasty.

If all the imperial army were pushed up at once, the result would be that the imperial army could capture Beiping City. However, since ancient times, the consumption of attacking and defending the city has not been compared at all.

It is difficult to attack a city and defend it, let alone a city like Peiping. Even if all 600,000 troops attack, how many troops will the imperial court have left in the end?

Two hundred thousand? One hundred thousand? Fifty thousand?

Therefore, what Li Jinglong had to do was to attack the city fiercely and constantly attack the psychological defense line of the Northern Army. When the Northern Army felt that it could no longer defend, the psychological warfare would be completed.

They will definitely find a way to abandon Beiping City and escape from the North Gate, because that is their only chance of survival. As long as they leave Beiping City, the troops arranged on the east and west sides of the North Gate of Beiping will come in handy.

Now, you can attack and kill them while you're at it.

Even if the guard at Juyong Pass is King Yan's own people, what can he do? Before you get to Juyong Pass, he will kill you all on the way. From this point of view, Li Jinglong still has something.

King Yan naturally had some countermeasures to Li Jinglong's actions, and the defensive force arranged by the north gate was definitely no less than that of the other three sides.

And Zhu Di had already ordered people to spread the news throughout the army, and the imperial court had already set up an ambush at the North Gate. The North Gate was more dangerous than the southeast and west sides. If you go out, you will die, so if you want to fight to the death, the only one you can rely on is

It is the hundreds of thousands of troops led by the King of Han who are struggling to come from outside the pass.

In this way, the soldiers always thought that they still had a way out. Even the north gate was clearly pointed out by King Yan. To put it bluntly, the north gate was not a way back, it was a dead end, and it was the only dead end. As long as they went out

Even if you are bound to die, you can still survive if you stay at home and defend the city.

So if you want to survive and persist until reinforcements arrive, you have to fight to the death!

The army of the imperial court climbed up the city wall like ants, and were beaten down by the soldiers above with stones, rolling logs and scalding hot oil.

The ladder used to siege the city cannot be pushed down easily, because there is a very heavy weight under the ladder, and there are hooks on the top of the ladder that can directly block the city wall. Therefore, unless the soldiers above are using saws, they will not be able to cut the wall.

The joints of the ladder were sawed off, otherwise it would be impossible to push it down by manpower.

Zhu Di directed the counterattack, constantly ordering the soldiers to fire arrows, fire cannons and hit rocks. In short, both the court and Zhu Di were forced into a panic and basically came up with all the methods they could come up with.



The battle in Beiping City was in full swing, and Zhu Song was not idle either. He did not rush leisurely, but ran as fast as he could. In order to prevent the grain transport team behind him from being informed by the grassland tribes, and the Great Wall

The imperial troops inside came out to rob or destroy them. Zhu Song kept pressing the army and the grain transport team at a high speed, always not far away from each other, and could return to the army at any time to kill if anything happened.

This is not Zhu Song and Zhu Di playing tricks, it is not Zhu Song not wanting to hurry up, and it is not that he deliberately slowed down, waiting for the soldiers in Peiping City to be killed by the imperial court, so that he could weaken himself after arriving late.

Drop four army forces from your hands.

Doing that is basically the same as asking for death. Whether it is the hundreds of thousands of troops in Peiping or the nearly 200,000 troops in his own hands, no one can be missing. Without any one, it will be like dying. The imperial court's so-called Seventy

Ten thousand troops will crush the remaining party like ants.

The most important thing is that Zhu Song never thought about becoming an emperor, and even if he took 10,000 steps back, if he really became an emperor and had a glimpse of the future, he would not necessarily be more pure than Emperor Yongle and be called the emperor of the ages.

I have finally traveled through time. If I not only fail to add the icing on the cake, but also drain the fuel from the bottom, then I will really become a thief that the Chinese nation will never forget.

"Call the whole army to speed up a little more. Now we have left Daning and are not far from Juyong Pass! I must see the closing of Juyong Pass within five days!"

"Got the order!"



Three days later.

There was fighting basically every day during these three days. The walls of Beiping City and the walls of Beiping City could be described as mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

During the day, the two armies went out to clean the battlefield at night. If we don't clean up, we can't do it. If so many corpses rot and get moldy together, I'm afraid there will be a big plague, which is not a good thing for anyone, so clean up and clean up quickly.

.

It can be seen in these three days that Li Jinglong is really anxious. After three days, the total casualties of the two armies must have been 50,000 or 60,000, 50,000 or 60,000, it is really a tragic scene. This

If the 50,000 to 60,000 people are all living people, they are still a living force.

Zhu Di was sitting on the city wall, and the soldiers next to him were cleaning the corpses. After three days, Zhu Di's majestic armor was also splattered with blood.

"How much food and grass do we have left?"

Zhang Yu replied from the side: "Your Highness, we have less than two days of food and grass left. If the reinforcements don't arrive, we will have no rice to cook in Peiping. I'm afraid we can only use bark and leaves.

Come to fill the stomachs of the soldiers."

Zhu Di wanted to sigh at this moment, but he couldn't do it in front of so many soldiers. He couldn't sigh. He could talk to Zhang Yu quietly so that no one could hear him, but he couldn't be discouraged.

Why do I want to be on the city wall so that the soldiers can see me? Isn't it because I want the soldiers to see that I have been with them all the time? Only in this way can the morale of the soldiers be stimulated. If I collapse at this time, what will happen to the army?
