Whether time is fast or slow, the time has come to the afternoon. The Chuang army is gradually approaching Yanzhou with slow and orderly steps, and the chariots surrounding it are gradually pushed to the front. When the Chuang army enters the sword
Within the shooting range of the Ming army at the top of the city, they were more cautious.
Gao Yigong also spent a lot of money today. The people responsible for swarming the chariots were all his elites, in order to successfully destroy the Ming army's city wall and prevent yesterday's morale collapse from happening again.
Looking at each other from a distance, he wanted to see if the Ming army could destroy his chariot. If he could force the Ming army to fight with him, he would be extremely happy. As he was thinking about it, news from Jining and Qufu quickly came over.
, took a look, and felt a little more confident. It turned out that both Guo Sheng and Zhao Yingyuan reported that their attack was very effective, and both places had sent messengers to Yanzhou.
This is exactly what Gao Yigong wants to see, which is to have both places send people to ask for help and disturb the people of Yanzhou. As long as the people of Yanzhou are in turmoil, his attack will naturally become smoother.
"Tell them to speed up, not just to capture the city, but also to make the Ming army feel the pressure."
The scout left, and he once again sat on the grand master's chair from yesterday. If sitting there yesterday made him feel restless, today he felt like he was always sure of victory.
Especially when he saw the Yanzhou City Gate suddenly opened wide, and countless Ming soldiers poured out from inside, led by a general to rush out. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Sure enough, the Ming Army chose the most unwise method.
He went out of the city to fight. Of course he knew that the Ming army wanted to destroy his chariot, so he had prepared tricks on the chariot in advance and was waiting for the Ming army!
Although he saw a large number of Ming troops suddenly emerge from the east of Yanzhou, he was not overly worried. There were a total of 20,000 soldiers attacking today, and he also had a reserve force of 10,000 soldiers and horses ready at any time.
When there was a sudden change, he immediately sent a general to lead a reserve team to intercept the Ming army.
The protagonist of this battle is the chariot. As long as the chariot can be pushed under the city wall, victory will be almost like searching for something.
When the two groups of soldiers and horses collided, a burst of fighting sounds resounded across the sky. The Chuang army and the Ming army almost became red-eyed, and the moment they engaged in battle, a terrifying sound of killing broke out. For
The charging Ming army and the Chuang army were naturally prepared. When the blade fell, they squatted down and immediately raised their shields to block it.
Immediately afterwards, the Chuang army standing in the second row immediately stretched out a spear from under the shield and thrust it straight into the vital points of the Ming army. Because the weapon was blocked by the Chuang army and being extremely nervous, they did not notice the spear sticking out from the dark.
, most of them were killed and wounded immediately. Almost all the Ming soldiers who were charging at the front were killed.
The general who was personally selected by Zhu Dadian was naturally not a mediocre person. Seeing this situation, he immediately changed his strategy. The soldiers who followed him immediately blocked their shields in front of themselves, first blocking their spears, and then the soldiers who followed him.
The soldier immediately stepped on the shoulder of the person in front and immediately flew up. When the long sword fell, he chopped down all the soldiers in front who were holding up their shields.
When the Chuang soldiers who were raising their shields were cut down, the soldiers behind them who were holding spears immediately retreated to avoid close combat with the Ming army, which would greatly reduce the effectiveness of their spears. And the soldiers behind them immediately rushed up again and raised their spears.
Shield's soldiers pushed back the Ming army again.
The chariot was instantly swarmed behind by the Chuang army, and the Ming army fought hard to get close to the chariot. However, the Chuang army was obviously different from yesterday, and their morale and tactics had changed greatly. This
Once down, it was difficult for the Ming army to move forward, and it was even more difficult to advance a few steps.
On the other side, Wang Jiayan personally led 20,000 soldiers to rush directly from the east to the side of the intruder army, but was suddenly stopped by an intruder army from the rear. A fierce battle broke out between the two groups, and there were a large number of soldiers in the first round.
He was killed. The two sides did not gain the upper hand, but became more courageous as they fought.
Although Wang Jiayan was past middle age, he did not show any fear of fighting. After killing two intruders with a sword, he even dismounted and fought with the intruders himself. The bodyguard behind him couldn't help but feel chills on his back when he saw it.
, hurriedly stepped forward to protect his master. At the same time, he admired his bravery very much.
How many people in the imperial court at this time could be like this? They dared to dismount and fight fiercely with the intruders without showing any cowardice.
At this time, Zhu Ling and others who were standing on the top of the city watching the battle below also frowned when they saw the fierce situation below. They thought that the intruders would not resist as fiercely, but it backfired and they came down to destroy them after half an hour.
The soldiers and horses that broke into the thief's chariot barely moved forward ten meters!
Wang Jiayan's side could have attacked the intruders from the side, but was stopped by a sudden intruder army. Even if the opponent's troops were not as many as Wang Jiayan's, they would not be able to destroy the intruders for at least a few hours.
car.
At this time, another guard in golden clothes quickly climbed up from the city, knelt down and said: "Report to Your Majesty, Jining and Qufu were attacked by enemy troops!"
!
Everyone hurriedly looked back, and they were all shocked when they heard the news. They never expected that the intruder army would divide its troops to attack these two places. It seems that today's formation is a bit difficult.
"Tell me in detail." Zhu Ling immediately asked him to explain clearly. Not only him, but also Zhu Dadian and several civil servants around him were waiting anxiously.
"Your Majesty, there is a message from General Meng that they were suddenly attacked by intruders this morning, and the attack was fierce and never stopped. The Minister of History also said the same, saying that the intruders' attack was not as good as in the past, and this attack was extremely desperate.
In addition, the city wall of Qufu was not high, and there was a risk of it falling after several attempts. However, both generals said that they found that the goal of the invading army was not to capture the city. Although the offensive was fierce, most of them fired bows and arrows first.
"
Jin Yiwei also spoke out in one breath, feeling quite a bit pressured to speak under the gaze of His Majesty and several ministers.
After listening, everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Especially the last words of Jin Yiwei, the intruders did not seem to intend to capture the city, and their attacks were mostly based on arrow rain. This made everyone a little confused. If they did not intend to capture the city,
So what are they going to do?
Zhu Dadian thought for a moment and got the answer immediately. He raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Chu army must be trying to force our army to divide our troops for rescue, and then make Yanzhou City empty of troops. In this way, as long as they are more aggressive, Yanzhou City will naturally
Fall! And those two cities are not important to them at all, and even capturing them is a burden to them. As long as Yanzhou is captured, Jining and Qufu will naturally be defeated!"
After listening to his words, everyone immediately understood. Gao Yigong's strategy was not unscrupulous. At the risk of dividing his main camp, he insisted on dividing his troops to attack the cities on the east and west sides of Yanzhou, in order to let
Yanzhou was distracted by dividing his troops. He knew that he did not have many troops, and if he besieged Yanzhou alone, he would definitely run the risk of being flanked.
"What are your countermeasures?" At this juncture, Zhu Ling naturally needed to ask someone who knew the soldiers.
Zhu Dadian thought for a while and then immediately said: "Your Majesty, please send someone to tell Jining and Qufu that they must defend the city! If Yanzhou does not relieve the siege, they cannot make the city fall in one day!"
"Why not let Fan Xianchao from Zouxian County rescue him? He has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there are also 1,000 Guanning troops among them!" Huang Bodang asked in confusion. After all, the intruders did not have many troops, and now they are attacking on three sides.
, the rear of Yanzhou will definitely not be attacked. So instead of letting Fan Xianchao stay out of the incident, it is better to let him break the siege of any city.
"Huang Yushi." Zhu Dadian also turned around and explained: "Although the intruders have not attacked the rear for the time being, just in case, we must send troops to garrison in the rear. As a commander, you must take all aspects into consideration, even after this battle
In the end, the intruders did not attack the rear, and I still will not let Fan Xianchao leave."
"Once we attack us from the rear, all our efforts in front of Yanzhou will be in vain!"
"Let General Meng Shen and Shangshu defend to the death! Even if the whole army is annihilated!"
