Chapter 172: Just death

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty defended the city and required too many muskets, crossbows, and cannons, which did not require much strength and did not require face-to-face fighting. Even women could fire guns.

There are no men, only elderly people and women, and the whole city feels lifeless.

Zhu Yi sighed in her heart, but she could do nothing.

He came to the front of the palace of King Yi, and Mrs. Shi was already waiting here. After Zhu Yi bowed, she took Mrs. Shi to the city wall.

As soon as I climbed the city wall, my vision suddenly became widened.

The mountains from north to south are all flooding into your eyes, and the snow is like the sky is smearing its forehead. The sky seems to be falling off, full of the magnificent beauty of the northwest.

But at this time, no one has the heart to see this kind of scenery.

Zhu Yi, Mrs. Shi and even their personal soldiers walked slowly. Zhu Yi suddenly saw a man wearing an incompatible armor. The man was very thin, but the armor was much larger. When worn, it seemed like a snail was wearing a shell.

Zhu Yi went up to see that she had a tender face and asked, "Why is it you, your grandfather?"

This tender face seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. Standing on the city wall, the wind was blowing, and the snot was already flowing down. He sucked it suddenly, squirted it back, but left traces on his face.

He said, "Go back to General, Grandpa is gone."

Zhu Yi was slightly shocked when he heard this. He knew what it means to be gone.

This young grandfather was Zhu Yi's personal soldier, to be precise, Zhu Yong's personal soldier.

He followed Zhu Yi to Yili. Later, when he got older, he asked his son to make up for the gaps. He took care of the fields in Yili. After all, the land that can be distributed in Yili is much larger than that in the Central Plains.

It was just this sudden change.

His son died in battle at the city.

The Shi Heng's troops, no, were all the troops of the Ming Dynasty, and actually had a gene of the garrison system. However, among Shi Heng's subordinates, this situation was more obvious.

Therefore, there are more or less some of these fathers and sons who have served in an army.

I just didn't expect that he would leave like this.

Zhu Yi leaned down, wiped the boy's snot, untied his armor, and tied it up again. Although the armor still didn't fit well, after Zhu Yi's adjustment, he was at least no longer loose and weak. He looked much more energetic.

The Ming Dynasty did not have the kind of armor that looked like a turtle shell. Generally, armor was tied together with pieces of armor, so there was room for adjustment.

The reason why this child is not well dressed is because he is not skilled. If his grandfather is still alive, he will definitely be able to clean up him neatly.

But the helmet is not easy to deal with.

The child's head is a little smaller.

Zhu Yi took off the child's helmet and gestured to the heads of the few personal soldiers behind him. He found that his personal soldiers were big and round, with big heads, and had no suitable one at all.

"Is this there?" Mrs. Shi took off her helmet.

Although Shi Heng is a great husband, he, a young girl, has a petite and delicate head and face, and is a little smaller than ordinary people. She has a standard face. It was just right for this child to change it.

Zhu Yi tied the helmet for the child and said, "You will be an adult in the future. Remember the revenge between your grandfather and your father. Respond to the country."

The child saluted respectfully and said, "Yes."

Zhu Yi's nose felt sour, and his heart was extremely sad.

Speaking of which, although he and the child's grandfather were in the relationship between the chief general and the personal soldiers, they had experienced many fierce battles between them.

The situation of the Battle of Zhaozhou is still vivid in my mind.

He is a brother of life and death on the battlefield. Now he has lost his son and only one grandson, so he should be safe.

But now he has no choice.

Among the male members of the Zhu family in Yili City, one of them had to go to the city. All Han male members over the age of fourteen and under the age of sixty were on the city wall.

There is not a strong city in Yili City that cannot be defeated wherever it is placed.

Instead, the blood of countless soldiers is combined with the city walls, which is indestructible.

Zhu Yi patted the child on the shoulder and said, "Okay."

He left and went to patrol other places, but he suddenly said more and more, and he explained the situation on the city wall one by one to Mrs. Shi in detail.

Even if the enemy attacks like this, how to defend, he even said more than a dozen countermeasures in a row.

It seems that in a short period of time, I have to pass on all my decades of experience in defending the city to Mrs. Shi.

Just as Zhang Fu initially commented on Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi has no talent in using troops and will never be able to fight like a Shi Heng in his life, but he used decades of experience in the army to interpret what a veteran general or a veteran is.

He just has no tricks, every stroke is extremely solid, every move is full of countless thoughts. At least he dare not say that he is foolproof in defending the city.

But if anyone wants to attack the city he defends, it is better not to think of any tricks and honestly fill his life under the city wall.

Before they knew it, they had walked along the city wall. After getting off the city wall, Mrs. Shi said, "Uncle Zhu, what's wrong today?"

Zhu Yi can afford this title.

He had never dealt with Shi Heng for his whole life, but he had been tied to Shi Heng for the rest of his life, and even reached the point of fighting. But he never expected that he would now be trapped in the lonely city with Shi Heng's daughter.

Zhu Yi said: "Nothing, I just thought of a loophole. I am old and the situation is unclear. I don't know when this city will be guarded. Add to the battlefield, anything can happen. If I have one, I will always have one to continue guarding."

Mrs. Shi hurriedly said, "Where is uncle?"

Zhu Yi said: "Everyone must have the worst plan, and now you are the only one who can support the city."

If there is someone else, Zhu Yi will not choose others for any reason.

But the question is, what kind of people should lead what kind of soldiers, and what kind of person is Shi Heng? Will someone like him defend the city?

The generals he brought out rushed forward one by one, but they wanted to keep the city peacefully, but they didn't have the patience.

More importantly, even so.

All the veterans were not in Yili City.

After all, when we were divided, we never thought of such a situation.

All the elite soldiers and strong generals were taken away, and Zhu Yi's troops suffered heavy losses in the previous offensive and defensive battles, and there was no good material among the remaining generals.

The general who defends the city does not need any courage, but needs prestige to convince the public, meticulous and able to calm down. Although Mrs. Shi is a woman, she shows this characteristic.

As for prestige, she is Shi Heng's granddaughter and Prince Yi's concubine, and she naturally has a halo. She inherits Shi Heng's beauty, coupled with the majesty of the Ming Dynasty royal family, and some of her performances after the siege of the city are also very convincing.

"I." Mrs. Shi said in surprise.

"You are the only one." Zhu Yi said: "If one day I'm gone, what would you do?"

The so-called "time creates heroes". If there is no such thing, Mrs. Shi will probably spend her whole life taking care of her husband and children in the boudoir. Now the times have pushed her to this point.

Mrs. Shi suddenly felt excited in her heart. She didn't know why she was excited, but she counted her age. She was just a high school student in later generations.

At this moment, you have to bear the whole city's life and death.

She calmed down and said, "As a royal wife, I dare not insult the world and defile my family traditions. If my uncle had a chance, the day when Yili City fell will be my death."

"It's just death."

Zhu Yi smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I have been dealing with Shi Heng for half my life. I don't like him. At this moment, I envy you for having such a daughter."

Mrs. Shi said: "If my uncle wants, I am willing to worship my uncle as my adoptive father."

Zhu Yi said, "You are the princess and can't afford it."

Zhu Yi talked with Mrs. Shi without mentioning reinforcements from beginning to end.

Do they not care about reinforcements?

No, they value reinforcements too much. They almost thought about it day and night, looking to the east day and night. But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

At this moment, they no longer have much hope for reinforcements. If they are unwilling to talk about it, they are the last glimmer of hope they still retain.

I'm afraid I'll figure it out if I explain it thoroughly.
