Chapter 65: Bloody Battle in Zhaozhou

Zhu Yi gave the order, arrows were like rain and cannons roared.

Within a hundred steps within the city wall, it was immediately covered with bloody storm.

Only a few cannons can smash the siege shield carts, ladders, and other siege equipment with one shot. Therefore, more shells with big fists were blocked by thick wooden shield carts.

The bows and arrows in the Wassat army began to shoot on the top of the city.

But Zhu Yi had been prepared for a long time.

He had installed a layer of wooden shelves on the Zhaozhou city wall. It was covered with wooden boards, which artificially raised the city wall by half a foot, and also provided an additional layer of protection for the soldiers on the top of the city.

Therefore, only a few arrows shot behind the female wall, most of which were blocked.

The firearms of the Wattsman did not play any role.

After all, Watshu is not familiar with these things.

Sometimes I can only hear one sound.

The two sides shot each other for half a day.

Within half a day, the trench filled the trench and officially pushed the siege equipment under the city wall.

If it was a Han siege, when the siege equipment advanced to the corner of the city wall, the siege battle would have entered the second half. However, Mongolian tiled sects were always a hard-working battle in the city offensive and defensive battle.

So they can only take the cruelest, ants siege battle.

At this moment, Zhu Yi took it out and the most powerful weapon in the city was even more useful than cannons, which was the so-called enemy of ten thousand people.

It's a huge gunpowder pack.

It is wrapped in iron or ceramic shells on the outside.

There are dozens of kilograms, hundreds of kilograms, or a smaller kilogram, or a smaller kilogram, or twenty kilograms.

So, use a trencher or throw the city directly with your hands.

One by one, they exploded in the crowd, and smoke and dust rose everywhere to overturn countless people to the ground, especially tens of thousands of enemies weighing more than a hundred pounds. Even the soldiers behind the shield chariot may not be completely immune to the explosion.

One or two even hit the ladder.

The two-story ladder fell to the ground in such an explosion.

The Jurchen tribes had never seen such a situation and were immediately shocked.

They were suddenly under the city wall and did not dare to move forward, but they did not dare to retreat.

However, the soldiers were piled up under the city wall and were even covered by the Ming army's firepower.

The various Jurchen tribes retreated one after another.

Seeing this, Zhu Yi immediately said, "Uncle Wang."

"Yes." But more than a hundred soldiers fell from the city wall. These were all teams left by Duke Cheng, Zhu Yong, and each of them was the elite one in a hundred.

Even though there were tens of thousands of soldiers under the city, they jumped down without hesitation with ropes hanging on them. The sword and iron armor rushed over with an ancient brain. Although there were not many people, the Jurchen tribes did not have much morale.

After all, they all used it as cannon fodder.

He was hit by the Ming army and then collapsed.

Then Zhu Yi immediately called out the gold and stopped his troops.

After all, there are not many soldiers in the city at this moment. Every soldier, every citizen, even a woman, is very important. Therefore, protecting oneself is the most important thing.

The Ming army's short assault was only to defeat the first wave of the attack on Wass.

Seeing this, Wata Tsui also called Jin to withdraw his troops.

Ye Xian rode a war horse, and waved a flag behind him. He looked at the female tribe leader below and signaled slightly that someone had immediately stepped forward and pulled these Jurchen leaders down to rectify the Dharma on the spot.

No matter how much they beg, they cannot be shaken.

Yexian just looked at Zhaozhou City and said, "It seems that Zhu Yong's son still has some skills."

Zhang Zongzhou said: "Your Majesty, I think that if I don't send my troops to slaughter our troops, I will definitely not be able to conquer this city."

Yexian frowned slightly.

The troops of the Wassat headquarters have suffered a lot of losses in the past few years. Not to mention anything else, in the 14th year of Zhengtong, the troops of the Wassat headquarters can be mobilized by more than 100,000, and there are also more troops with this number of attached troops.

But now, there are only more than 100,000 troops left in Yexian's hands.

The thorns have not been damaged too much.

This small city in Zhaozhou has sufficient reserves and is not easy to conquer.

Yexian suddenly asked, "Have the Ming army not moved yet?"

As expected by the Ming Central, Yexian always had the intention of surrounding the points and attacking aid. When the Ming army came to aid a large number of the Ming army, they ambushed most of the Ming army halfway.

Such a war is better than attacking Zhaozhou City, because the Washu itself adapts to such a war.

Zhang Zongzhou said: "No. No news from all sides has come. Haixi, Liaodong, Xuanfu, and Datong have all strengthened their vigilance, but there is no sign of sending troops."

Yexian said: "Zhu Qizhen-------" Yexian sighed, he admired Zhu Qizhen's decision. If he should make a decision, he should make a decision. He was extremely decisive. Let Yexian be in a very embarrassing situation.

Although he didn't want to, he had to grit his teeth and attack the city.

Yexian said: "Boyan's troops have already been under your command of all the Jurchen troops. Don't worry, just attack step by step."

Zhang Zongzhou said: "I understand."

Yexian said: "I will leave it to you under the city of Zhaozhou."

Zhang Zongzhou said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Yexian said: "Didn't the Ming army build a Songyin city? I'll go and have a look."

Any action is determined by the strength of both parties.

Now the situation of Ming is stronger and weaker.

However, facing the Ming army's seemingly calm but in fact, the aggressive offensive could only use attack as the strategy of Shu against Wei.

Due to strength, but failing to attack and unable to defend.

But you can't get back.

Nothing else, the strength of the Wats is already weak, and once this superficial offensive is lost, the troops on the grassland may turn to the Ming army.

If we look at outsiders, we also make many moves first, fearing tigers in front and wolves in the back. We are somewhat out of reach and downs. We are not at a standard, but if we have this card in our hand, what can we do first?

I can only find ways, take advantage of opportunities, and find the flaws of the Ming army.

Zhang Zongzhou understood Yesen's thoughts and said, "I understand that I must handle the matter here with the Second Prince. Even if I cannot conquer, I can still siege the Ming army."

"Turn the Ming army to rescue."

Yexian said: "I don't worry if I leave the matter here to you."

I also said it would do it first, but after a few days, I led a large group of troops to the city of Songyin.

But as soon as I looked at Songyin City, I sighed.

Facing the moat excavated by the Ming army, is this Songyin City, which has not been successfully built yet? It is clearly an island, the narrowest place, and the moat that is about a mile wide also looks like a natural danger.

Even if he has millions of iron cavalry, it is difficult to fly.

He even sent a siege to Haixi first.

I also found that Haixi was different from before.

Although it has only been a few months, hundreds of thousands of North Koreans have poured into Haixi. After all, from North Korea to Haixi, you can only get to Haixi by a short distance, or even by sea.

So from last year to now.

Although these North Koreans were not very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they were even less able to integrate into the Wats and Shishang side than the Ming Dynasty. So in this situation, if they want to guarantee their right to life, they can only rely on the Ming Dynasty banner.

Therefore, all parts of North Korea were scattered in various places and even defended the city, and tens of thousands of Ming troops were drawn out.

In this case, he wanted to go south to the sea first. The troops in his hands were not enough.

At this moment, Yexian had a vague choice in his mind, whether to leave Zhaozhou City and take his troops to gamble and break into the west of the sea?

If this battle is won, it will take several years to overturn the Ming army's operations in Haixi.

The thorns will have a chance to breathe.

But once it is defeated.

Yesen can do nothing in the future.

The 100,000 troops in Yexian's hands were his last capital. Once this capital was lost, Yexian probably would have to give up the northern desert and retreat to the Western Regions and north of the Tianshan Mountains.

That is, the habitat of tile thorn infection.

This is a big gamble.

Advance will lead to great victory, and retreat will lead to great defeat.

Even the lifelong efforts of his father were given up.

And a stalemate victory was also a failure for him.

There is nothing else, the thorn cannot be compared with the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's finances were just a crisis, and if this time the troops were sent in vain, the grassland this winter is a difficult season to overcome.

How to choose?

We are also weighing the trade-offs first.
