Rebirth Zhu Yuanzhang's King Summoning System

Chapter 50 Gaoyou Defensive War ([-])

Brothers Feng Yong and Feng Sheng rushed out from the east and west gates respectively, attacking the Yuan army's positions in turn, fully attracting Wang Baobao's attention.

Tang He led his men out of the south gate under the cover of the guards at the top of the city, picked up the shovel and dug towards the Yuan army's tunnel.

Tuotuo sat in the handsome tent, sipping Jiangnan's new tea, and said quite complacently: "After this battle is over, the emperor will be able to drink Jiangnan's new tea. This gang of thieves made a fuss, and finally it will be over." It's over."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ordering soldier outside the door ran in: "Report to the marshal! The enemy has also begun to dig tunnels!"

"What?" Tuotuo got up too violently, and accidentally knocked over the tea beside him. The new emerald green tea was scattered all over the floor, and wisps of fragrance diffused in the handsome tent.

At this time, Wang Baobao, having heard of Feng Yong and Feng Sheng's style of play, had already rode to the front line to check the military situation in person.Among the handsome tents, only Tuotuo and a group of generals are left.

"The enemy has also started digging tunnels? What does this mean? Could it be that they want to escape?" Tuotuo's whimsical thinking won the approval of most of the generals.

"Definitely want to escape!"

"Knowing that I can't withstand the attack of my Dayuan iron cavalry, I started to escape through the hole."

"Marshal, if the general is willing, he will lead people to eliminate the rioters in the tunnel!"

Tuotuo shook his head and waved his hands: "No! Let them dig! Dig with confidence! Let's wait until they are almost done digging, and then rush up and destroy them! These untouchables are daring and rebellious. Just killing them is not enough to vent their anger. I Give them hope first, and then let them despair! This is much worse than simply killing them."

All the generals nodded in approval: "Gao! The Prime Minister is Gao! Why didn't we think of it?"

Empty talk misleads the country.

These four words couldn't be more appropriate when applied to Prime Minister Tuotuo.

Since he took office, together with Emperor Iron Pot, he has drafted a decree to improve the status and living conditions of Han people and southerners, but he has no idea of ​​the implementation status below, and he is complacently imagining that the favored Han Chinese and southerners are living in the south. The scene of kowtowing to the far north.Don't let yourself be touched by yourself.

As a result, the first report to the south was not a letter of gratitude to the people, but a notice of rebellion.

This time it was the same situation. If Wang Baobao had been present, he would have sensed something was wrong and quickly sent people to wipe it out. Unfortunately, history always likes to joke with people.At the most important moment, Wang Baobao was absent, while Prime Minister Tuotuo was immersed in his seemingly impeccable reasoning.

So, under Gaoyou City, such a strange scene happened. No one from the Yuan army and the rebel army charged or defended. There were only two groups of soldiers, like groundhogs, desperately digging in the direction of each other.

After digging to a place more than ten meters away from the Yuanbing tunnel, Tang He saw the signal from Zhu Yuanzhang, the head of the city, turned his head and waved, and led the digging soldiers back the same way.Only the yuan soldiers on the opposite side continued to dig.

Tuotuo received a report saying that all the soldiers in Gaoyou City who were digging the tunnel had retreated, and with only a dozen meters left, the Yuan army could get through the tunnels dug by the two sides and complete the excavation work ahead of schedule.

Tuotuo said happily: "It seems that these people don't want to escape, but want to show their favor to us by digging tunnels. Order the soldiers to dig with all their strength!"

At the head of Gaoyou City, Zhu Yuanzhang watched the Yuan army digging through the tunnels on both sides of the city. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He waved the flag, and Xu Da, who had been waiting for a long time on the south gate embankment, took the embankment aside. The sky full of river water poured into the tunnel without warning, flooding the Yuan army by surprise.

Feng Yong and Feng Sheng received orders at the same time and led the troops back to the city.All the generals looked at the winding tunnels below the city filled with river water, all of them were surprised and speechless.These tunnels dug by the Yuan army have not only become their graves, but also formed a natural moat after being poured in by the river water. The muddy land has become a natural barrier to stop the Yuan army cavalry!

"Okay! That's great! The second brother is really good!" Zhang Shicheng blushed with excitement.Zhu Yuanzhang easily solved the tunnels of the Yuan army, which completely damaged most of his cavalry.Zhang Shicheng at this time, if it wasn't for Ma Chunhua's sake, he was so happy that he really wanted to hug Zhu Yuanzhang's big head and kiss him.

On the top of the city, all the generals praised: "Excellent!"

"It's amazing!"

"Why didn't we think of it?"

"Brother Zhu's move is comparable to that of Guan Erye who flooded the Seventh Army."

The generals who had ridiculed and ridiculed Zhu Yuanzhang's cowardice just blushed, lowered their heads and did not speak, and hid silently behind others.

Seeing that Feng Yong and Feng Sheng had retreated, Wang Baobao returned to the commander's tent full of suspicion. When he saw Tuotuo and the generals who were frowning and sighing, he asked about the situation and sighed: "It's too late now. Only the corpses of soldiers can be used to build a ladder to attack the city."

Realizing that he had made a mistake in his judgment, Prime Minister Tuotuo became a little annoyed. He ordered the commanders of the various troops to issue military orders that he could only move forward and not retreat.If you don't succeed, you will succeed.

In order to keep his own head, the commander of the army intensified the order and passed it on to the subordinate officers: "I have issued a military order with the prime minister. If Gaoyou cannot be captured, everyone will move their heads together!"

The muddy south gate is no longer suitable for cavalry operations.

The 50-yuan army threw down their horses, put on their shields, formed a square formation, and launched a fearless attack on Gaoyou City against the locust swarm that was about to devour the wheat seedlings.

The defenders of Gaoyou City were also tenacious. After shooting their bows and arrows, they smashed them with stones. When the stones disappeared, they demolished their houses and set fire to the wood.

Under the city wall, the corpses of the Yuan army piled up on the hillside, and a steady stream of Yuan troops stepped on the corpses of the troops in front, approaching the city head little by little.

Finally, ten days later, the corpses of the Yuan army piled up on the top of the city, and the red-eyed Yuan soldiers rushed up on the mountain of corpses and launched a frenzied attack on the defenders at the top of the city.

The Gaoyou defenders also rushed forward bravely, drew their steel swords and fought with the Yuan army.Red blood flowed down the stairs of the city wall, and the noise of hand-to-hand combat echoed throughout the city.

Zhang Shicheng saw that the corner of the city had been captured by the Yuan army, so he drew his sword and rushed there without saying a word.

The guards around him hurriedly followed, and together with Zhang Shicheng, they joined the battle.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Feng Sheng, and Feng Yong were not idle. After Ma Chunhua and Min Minte Moore were settled, they led their people to fight the Yuan army at the head of the city.

The rushing Yuan army wave after wave, and the defenders of Gaoyou City fell one after another.

Zhang Shicheng chopped down a Yuan soldier in front of him and held his sword while panting. He didn't realize that a Yuan soldier who had just climbed up behind him raised his scimitar towards him.
