Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

City head.

The surviving soldiers in the First Army Town were extremely exhausted.

In just half a day, there was a fierce battle.

It seems very frustrating.

The originally deep-set eye sockets have become even more sunken in just half a day, and inside the eye sockets, a pair of eyes have become brighter and brighter.

They have fought such a difficult battle until now.

Kill and injure the enemy several times more than yourself.

And also maintained the city head position.

All brothers understand how powerful they are!

The prince has accompanied everyone, and the hard training that has been going on for several years has been truly tested today.

perhaps……

perhaps……

They used to be called the strongest army in the world by the people. Are they really qualified and worthy of this title?

A pair of bright eyes that made people dare not look directly at the Yuan army, a cavalry group of ten thousand people charging into the future again.

Yu Guangzun looked to the side...

Zhu Di and several soldiers held an artillery piece.

Waiting quietly.

"Three hundred steps!"

"put!"

Wen Qi, the artillery battalion leader, suddenly roared.

Boo! Boo! Boo...

The barrel vibrated instantly, a faint sweetness surged up from the throat, and the whole body was instantly numb.

Zhu Di tried his best to open his mouth.

he knows.

Internal organs were damaged.

To boost morale and set an example.

Moreover, he was the one who brought the soldiers here, and he had to be in the most dangerous place.

Therefore, the artillery battalion officers were rotated, but he was not rotated from beginning to end.

Continuous shocks caused damage to the organs.

But it’s okay, it’s not in the way.

Based on his estimation, the human body can repair this kind of injury on its own.

…

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Bang bang bang...

Dozens of projectiles fired out from other prepared artillery pieces, carrying strong kinetic energy, hit the open ground in front of the Beiyuan cavalry charge.

It bounced high, and wherever it passed, a passage of bloody flesh and broken arms and limbs was instantly plowed out.

The offensive momentum of Beiyuan Jingqi only stalled for a moment, and then they focused on the direction of the city wall and rushed forward without going anywhere.

The soldiers of the first town of the army were determined to defend the city and prove the glory of the military.

Create a reputation as the strongest army in the world.

The Northern Yuan side vowed to conquer the city and defeat the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di!

Like the world swears, the glory of the descendants of Genghis Khan!

The two sides have been fighting until now, and no one will give in, and everyone has completely forgotten their timidity.

attack! attack! attack!

Or fall down completely! Either knock down the opponent in front of you!

This is what everyone on both sides is thinking at this moment.

inner city.

Haitong and others stared nervously, everyone knew the importance and criticality of this attack.

"Order all archers to shoot at the outer city!" Haitong suddenly gave the order coldly.

No matter how lethal it is.

As long as it can increase interference to Army No. 1 Town.

Increase psychological stress.

All worth it.

I haven't done this before because the time hasn't arrived.

A straw can break a desperate camel's back.

At this point in the war, it is necessary to continuously add straw to the tough and powerful camel of the Army's First Town.

Several captains understood instantly.

They all shouted loudly: "Archers, prepare!"

"Archers prepare!"

"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"

…

The already dark sky suddenly turned dark. The black mass was like a rain of arrows from locusts, pouring down densely.

At least half of the arrows landed directly in Wengcheng.

Half of the arrows lost their strength and fell down on the city wall.

The military cap made a 'bang bang' knocking sound.

The arrows pierced his clothes, and his back and chest were protected by paper armor.

The soldiers' arms were pierced by arrows, but they did not move at all. They held up their firecrackers and stared ahead.

When Hai Tong and others witnessed this scene, several captains were shocked.

"How did the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty train his troops to train a group of flesh and blood to this level?"

How do they know?

Over the years, Army No. 1 Town has walked the sharp gravel road many times.

Every day, I walk barefoot in goose steps, looking ahead without looking at my feet, and walk over sharp gravel roads over and over again.

Every month, when the stones are not sharp enough, the craftsmen in the workshop have to take turns hammering, breaking the boulders, and replacing the stones.

After training every day for several years, I achieved my performance today.

"Don't worry, keep on cumming!"

Haitong clenched his fists.

Army No. 1 Town seemed to be shocking them all the time.

It seems that there will always be new advantages to show in this opponent.

Bang bang bang...

The sound of dense firecrackers sounded, and Haitong suddenly raised his head and stared at the outer city wall shrouded in thick smoke.

The sound of firecrackers sounded in the Army's First Town.

The infantry on their side must have launched a charge.

Moreover, he must have rushed within thirty steps.

outside the city.

Mahamu looked at the infantry rushing in front after a dense volley of guns. They instantly screamed and fell to the ground. He ordered: "Send the order, press forward!"

Woo woo woo...

The urging horn sounded.

The Beiyuan cavalry began to press forward while collecting shots.

The Beiyuan infantry carried the ladders that had been thrown to the ground after carrying the robes that had been killed in battle, and continued to charge forward with difficulty against the dense barrage.

Just thirty steps.

Like a natural chasm.

The head of the first town soldier of the Army was completely blank and he could only remember a few steps of loading ammunition.

It's like entering an ethereal state.

For a moment, the shooting speed was even shorter than the best results during daily training.

Bang bang bang...

The sound of the ladder hitting the city wall sounded.

The Beiyuan infantry began to climb.

Zhou Lang and his cavalry brothers rushed over with long wooden poles.

Hold up the ladder.

"one two three!"

A dozen people shouted together and pushed the ladder outward.

The Beiyuan infantry on the ladder screamed and fell heavily to the ground.

There's not much gunpowder left.

Explosive packets can no longer be used unless absolutely necessary.

During training, Zhu Di talked a lot about tactics and tactics.

The fierce battle after the Northern Expedition.

Low-level generals such as Peng Zheng and Team Officer already have very keen judgments on the battlefield situation.

Almost all the staff and team officials made the most correct tactical arrangements immediately.

"Aim at the Yuan Army infantry!"

"Aim at the Yuan Army infantry!"

"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"

The brothers seized the opportunity and completely ignored the Beiyuan cavalry who were shooting at about thirty paces. They followed the orders of the shed guards and team officers at all levels and aimed at the chaotic Beiyuan infantry under the city.

Bang bang bang...

The screams could be heard endlessly.

Just this time.

Even though the Beiyuan Infantry suffered heavy casualties, they did not collapse backwards.

Countless soldiers rushed to the ladder, peeled off the robes of the dead holding the ladder, and once again put the ladders on the top of the city.

The Beiyuan Infantry began to climb again.

Among the Beiyuan soldiers below, some pressed hard against the ladder, while others ignored the barrages coming from the city and brought the corpses of Paoze who died in the battle and piled them near the ladder.

Then he was also hit and died in the battle, crawling on Pao Ze's body.

More Beiyuan troops repeated this.

An extremely short time.

Under the ladders, there were mountains of corpses.

Secure the ladder securely.

The living Beiyuan infantry stepped on Pao Ze's body and climbed up the ladder.

"prick!"

At the top of the city, the cavalry brothers led by Zhou Lang picked up the fire blunderbuss that had been killed or injured in the battle, mounted their blunderbuss swords, and braved the focus of the Beiyuan cavalry to fire, and guarded in front of the ladders.

Whenever a Beiyuan infantry climbs and exposes its head.

There will always be two or three bright blunderbuss swords, stabbing hard.

…

The bombardment is over.

At this point, the entire army only had a few dozen artillery shells left.

Press the bottom of the box, the last trump card.

Zhu Di stood at the top of the city with blood dripping from his hands, observing the situation at the top of the city. At the same time, he gave orders from time to time to send the cavalry reserve team in groups of three to five to the most dangerous parts of the city.

The rescue team braved the rain of arrows and shuttled around the city, taking away the wounded and incapacitated brothers.

…

Under the city.

Mahamu was wearing an ordinary Northern Yuanjing cavalry armor and was hidden in the cavalry array.

While shooting, I witnessed a very fierce attack by the infantry. The Army's No. 1 town was clearly on the verge of collapse, but it could not be attacked.

Snapped!

The coldness on his face disappeared for a moment.

Throw away the bow.

Clang!

At the same time as he drew his sword, he jumped off his horse, stared at the barrage, and rushed towards the city.

In the cavalry, the brave Mongols saw Mahamu's behavior and imitated him one after another.

Mahamu rushed to a ladder and climbed up with all his strength.

Three bright blunderbuss swords stabbed out.

Swing the knife to chop.

Click!

The force was so great that the gun sword broke instantly.

Mahamu seized the opportunity and jumped to the top of the city...

"Charge forward!"

"Coming forward! Your Majesty, it's Mahamu! Mahamu is rushing forward!"

…

At the rear, Naha came out with the generals around him. When he saw that Mahamu successfully climbed onto the city, forcing the soldiers of the Army's first town to retreat step by step, more and more of his own soldiers rushed to the top of the city and continued to expand the climbing point. He suddenly shouted excitedly.

"good!"

Nahachu had always had a tense face, but at this moment he couldn't help shouting excitedly.

"Drumming! Beating the drum! Beating the drum!"

Dong dong dong...

A rapid and high-pitched drumbeat suddenly sounded.

The drum beats in everyone's heart.

When the Beiyuan army heard the sound of drums, their blood boiled.

When the soldiers of the Army's First Town heard the sound of drums, their pressure suddenly doubled.

"The time has come!"

inner city.

Haitong immediately clenched his fists, turned around suddenly, and gave a cold command, "Initiate a raid immediately! Launch a raid immediately!"

None of the ten thousand captains spoke. They turned around excitedly and nervously, clenched their fists tightly, and left in a hurry.

The passage from the inner city to the outer city.

There is a deep pit as tall as a person in the middle.

In the direction of the First Army Town in the outer city, on the edge of the deep pit, sacks filled with soil were built into a wall, blocking the passage.

Each passage is defended by a team of soldiers and an artillery piece.

No matter how dangerous the city is.

Zhu Di did not mobilize the troops here.

"kill!"

The soldiers were hiding behind the fortifications and preparing for battle when the shouts of killing suddenly rang out.

The Yuan army archers rushed out and closed the distance to shoot.

Behind them, the Yuan army carrying sacks of soil also rushed towards the edge of the pit.

"put!"

Bang bang bang...

After a volley of gunfire, the Yuan army in front fell down. The Yuan army behind picked up the sack left behind by Pao Ze and continued to charge forward.

Later, the Yuan army rushed up and carried Paoze's body forward.

The Yuan army was only a few dozen steps away from the pit.

But in a 100-man team, five consecutive rounds of platoon fire would cost huge casualties every time they advanced.

Every step forward is difficult.

"Captain of 10,000, let's blast it with cannons!" Next to a commander of 10,000, the commander said with heartache as he saw the constant casualties of his soldiers.

The captain turned around and glared, "If you don't have any eggs, get to the back. I'm telling you! If you don't fill up the pit, even if you die, you have to continue filling it in. Only after it's filled can you use the artillery!"

He now fully trusts Hai Tong.

Moreover, after a fierce battle during the day.

It has been proven that the Army’s First Town must not be left to chance.

Even if it means filling it with human lives, the deep hole must be filled.

Then use artillery.

Bombard the fortifications placed by the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty on the passage and the first garrison of the army.

In one fell swoop, they overcame the defense of the Army's first town and rushed to the head of the outer city.

This opportunity only happens once!

At this moment, the same scene is playing out in every passage.

When the sacks and corpses filled with soil were thrown into the pit, the pit was visibly restored to the naked eye.

A dark and heavy artillery piece was covered by the Beiyuan infantry in front and quietly carried to the passage.

Mounted on an obviously improvised wooden stand, it was laid flat and aligned opposite the fortifications of the Army's First Town.

The Beiyuan soldiers in the rear began to quietly move to both sides of the passage.

His legs were shaking, for fear that the artillery would miss and hit him.

But military orders are like mountains.

The general above told everyone before the attack that they must stand on both sides of the passage. Even if they are bombarded by their own artillery, they are not allowed to retreat.

When the army's first town fortifications were blasted, they pounced on them immediately and rushed to the outer city!

The captain in charge of the command looked at his own soldiers, who were already attacking each other across the fortifications from the Army's First Town.

Turning his head, he coldly ordered: "Light the fire!"

The artilleryman in charge of igniting looked at the dozens of soldiers fighting in front of him, and was slightly stunned.

This captain of ten thousand was obviously impatient.

He grabbed the torch from the artilleryman's hand, kicked the artilleryman away at the same time, and swung the torch violently, aiming it at the lead wire.

There is no such thing as death in war.

In order to defeat the first army town, how many soldiers have been lost in half a day today?

It doesn't matter if a dozen of our own soldiers in front are bombarded by our own artillery!

As long as the first army town can be defeated.

It’s worth it no matter how much you pay!

boom!

Sudden roars suddenly came one after another from the direction of the passage.

Zhu Di saw that Tan Yuan could not suppress Mahamu, holding the knife and taking a few steps, when he heard the roar, he immediately stopped.

"kill!"

"Kill! Capture the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty alive!"

…

Excited shouts of killing came from the direction of the inner city.

Zhu Di witnessed that in the easternmost passage, there was not a single infantry soldier fighting in a team.

The artillerymen from a shed in the artillery battalion rushed forward with their swords drawn.

"Teams 4 and 5 go to Channel 3!"

When Zhu Di rushed towards the most dangerous passage on the left, he shouted orders to the reserve team.

When Zhu Di rushed to the leftmost passage.

Everyone in the artillery camp's shed had been killed.

Fortunately, the tent commanders and team officers on the nearby city wall had good tactical command skills. Regardless of the Bei Yuan attack outside the city, they quickly deployed three sheds to temporarily put them up, preventing the Bei Yuan army from the inner city from pouring directly into the outer city.

Zhu Di quickly loaded the cannon with gunpowder and projectiles.

He picked up the torch and grabbed the armrest of the gun carriage with his other hand.

"Step aside!"

With a roar, he pushed the gun cart forward.

Boo!

The moment the soldiers in front stepped aside, the sound of artillery fire sounded.

Zhu Di suddenly stepped back.

Then he gritted his teeth and continued to push the gun truck forward.

The fired projectiles plowed out a bloody hole in the dense influx of Beiyuan troops.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the surrounding army's first town came to their senses, shouted, and followed Zhu Di forward.

The Beiyuan Army, which was so fierce that they rushed over, retreated step by step.

Zhu Di did not stop until he rushed to the fortifications that had been destroyed by the shelling. The soldiers stepped over the collapsed fortifications, which became low, and worked in groups of three to five to fight against the incoming Beiyuan army.

Zhu Di, with the cooperation of several soldiers, reloaded the projectiles.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of shelling sounded in several passages one after another.

boom!

Haitong saw the Army No. 1 Town gradually stabilizing several passages. He gritted his teeth, punched the wall, and gave a cold command: "Regardless of casualties, regardless of cost! Keep sending troops forward!"

Simply put, the number of troops in the Army's First Town was getting smaller and smaller.

Follow his side's efforts.

The first town of the Army was forced to withdraw troops from the external defense array.

Just a few moments.

While Mahamu's climbing point continued to expand, our own soldiers broke through seven or eight more sections of the city wall and established a solid climbing point.

At this time, even if you use your life to fill it, you must let the Army's No. 1 Town continue to mobilize troops!

…

on the channel.

After driving the Beiyuan Army back to the collapsed fortifications, reinforcements arrived. After the battle line was stabilized, Zhu Di grabbed a soldier beside him and said, "Go, send the order to other passages and push the artillery cart in!"

Will the artillery be damaged?

He couldn't care anymore.

Now we can only push the artillery cart into the passage to set up obstacles for the Yuan army to pour into the outer city. In this way, a small number of troops can hold a passage.

Now the army's first town.

The troops are stretched thin.

The efficient use of troops is more important than artillery.

After receiving the order, the soldiers rushed away.

Zhu Di ensured that several passages were barely held.

After a few words of warning, he turned around and left quickly.

The situation at the top of the city is getting more and more dangerous!

A total of ten sections of the city were breached by the Beiyuan infantry outside the city.

The soldiers had to divide their forces to deal with the Beiyuan Army who attacked the city, so that their external attack power was weakened.

In this way, we fall into a vicious cycle.

The weakening of external attacks will allow more and more Beiyuan troops to rush to the city.

If we don't find a way as soon as possible, we will pull out the Beiyuan Army at the city landing point one by one.

The situation will keep getting worse.

In the end, the entire city front line was riddled with holes and collapsed!

…

Twenty miles away.

Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Zhu Xi and others led a cavalry forward of 3,000 people and had already arrived.

The scouts rushed back from the direction of Helin City.

"Report! Report! Report!"

From a distance, he shouted quickly.

Call!

Qiu Fu suddenly raised his hand.

Three thousand fine cavalry immediately reined in their horses and stampeded their feet.

After the scout approached, he said anxiously: "Commander Qiu, the Beiyuan Army is attacking the city head all night long. When I turned back, the Beiyuan Army had already breached the city head and occupied a climbing point!"

Qiu Fu frowned.

As they advanced, they received the first wave of news.

The good news is that Laosi actually managed to conquer Helin Outer City and occupy the city head with only the Army's First Town.

The bad news is that Laosi was attacked by hundreds of thousands of Beiyuan troops using wheel tactics.

Seeing Qiu Fu's silence, Zhu Zhu anxiously shouted: "Commander Qiu, what are you thinking about? Fourth brother needs our support the most now. Three thousand of us suddenly rushed to attack the Beiyuan Army. Even if we don't succeed, the Beiyuan Army will not succeed." Dare to continue the attack!"

The 40,000 elite cavalrymen who went ahead this time.

Except for the cavalry attached to Daliao River Guard.

Most of them were drawn from their feudal king's guard.

The third uncle sent him to follow Qiu Fu.

He was just worried that Qiu Fu would not be able to intimidate the cavalry generals.

After all, although these generals are not as high as Qiu Fu.

But they are all old brothers who followed their father to found the country, and are also close followers of their vassal king.

They may not necessarily obey the advice of newly emerging young generals like Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng.

This situation.

To be honest, he just didn't ask Qiu Fu for instructions.

Can mobilize cavalry.

Even if the fourth brother is not here, he is the backbone of the brothers!

"No!"

Qiu Fu's objection sounded decisively.
