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

Royal study room.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the window.

The maids and eunuchs looked at the windows and then in the direction of the throne.

Xiong Ying and Gao Chi stood in front of the throne, looking at the folds one after another.

After discussing in a low voice, the two brothers wrote notes on the paper.

The maids and eunuchs looked at him and secretly clicked their tongues.

The emperor just asked his grandson to approve the memorial.

He even asked Prince Yan to participate in the imperial memorial.

That is to say, the emperor gave everyone a gag order.

If it reaches the court, it will definitely cause an uproar.

However, with so many people coming and going in the imperial study, how long can this kind of thing be kept hidden?

The emperor was really too kind to Yong Ming, the prince of Yan. He treated the prince of Yan exactly like he treated his great-grandson.

Taisun is the third generation successor of Ming Dynasty.

According to folk tradition, the eldest son is the eldest son and the eldest grandson, and no treatment should be treated too harshly.

Where is Prince Yan?

Why is the emperor like this?

I am afraid that in the final analysis, it is still because of King Yan.

The reason why Prince Yan is so favored by the emperor is not only because of Prince Yan's own excellence, but also because of what Prince Yan, his father, earned for Prince Yan, right?

I don’t know that Prince Yan is still young now.

Can you understand how much honor his father earned for him?

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of footsteps came from outside the imperial study room.

The thoughts of the palace maids standing on both sides were interrupted. Following the sound, they turned to look...

Liu Bowen came to the door of the palace on crutches.

Subconsciously, he glanced inward along the palace door.

He was stunned for a moment.

He quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Bowen, would like to see you."

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Gaochi, who were helping Zhu Yuanzhang to direct the memorial, raised their heads when they heard the sound.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly got off the stool and stood aside.

Zhu Xiongying pulled.

Gao Chi shrank his hand and replied to Xiongying with a smile.

Although Liu Bowen lowered his head, he was secretly observing.

Vision is somewhat bad.

But Gao Chi saw the action of standing next to Yuan for the first time, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

The entire reaction process of the two little guys happened in a very short time.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and happened to see Gao Chi standing aside obediently. Xiongying stretched out his hand and Gao Chi responded with a smile and retracted his hand at the same time.

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's lips flashed away.

‘Lao Si and Miao Yun taught Gao Chi very well! ’

He can only take care of the affairs of three generations.

I'm afraid, I can't see that Xiongying and Gao Chi have children, and they can't teach the fourth generation children of Lao Si's lineage and Biao'er's lineage.

How will the future generations of the two generations walk?

They can only rely on their own wisdom.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang gathered his thoughts and said, "Come in."

Liu Bowen stepped inside, glanced at the two little guys, turned around and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, bowed slightly, and took out a note: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, officials from the six ministries have handed it over, regarding the victory of the Northern Expedition. A summary of suggestions on how to treat the prairie…”

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted slightly and interrupted Liu Bowen, "The Northern Expedition has just begun, and they are already thinking about how to treat the grassland after the war? Isn't that a little too arrogant?"

It is good to be optimistic and confident.

But the arrogance displayed by the officials made him very uneasy.

When Lao Si was in charge of supervising and inspecting the school, he was very dissatisfied with the blind optimism and overconfidence shown by the court, the military, and the people, which led to laxity and slackness.

To this end, we took advantage of the opportunity of reselling military rations.

He did not hesitate to use his iron-blooded skills to kill several families and leave hundreds of bloody heads.

Only then did we curb this trend.

How long has the fourth child been away?

They had just made military contact with the grassland in Zhangbei, and this group of people came up with a plan to treat the grassland after the war.

In case the expectations they are now boasting about are not met.

How will the court end?

When did everyone in the Ming Dynasty become so impetuous!

"Your Majesty, everyone predicts that the good news about the Battle of Zhangbei will be spread back to Jinling soon, so the mood is high..."

Liu Bowen's voice reached his ears.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly at first.

The next second, the coldness in his eyes flashed away, and he suddenly turned to look at Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen nodded slightly, then lowered his head to avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's cold gaze and remained silent.

His Majesty is clearly aware of this.

Many people in the court were not optimistic about the battle between King Yan and Zhang Beiyuan of Beiyuan.

He even prayed silently, wishing that King Yan would die in battle at Zhang Bei.

But these people were afraid that King Yan would lead the Army's First Town, which had never had actual combat experience, to really defeat Zhang Bei in one battle.

When the good news spreads back to Jinling, King Yan's reputation will inevitably rise.

That's why we urgently concocted such a bombastic talk about how to treat the grassland after the war.

The purpose.

Very simple.

Once the news of the victory of the Army's First Town in Zhangbei came back, the contents of this report were thrown out.

Attract people's attention.

Try to weaken the prestige of King Yan Zhangbei's victory as much as possible.

Once upon a time, there was a tacit understanding among the people in the court to raise the reputation of King Yan and try to kill him.

I don’t know when it started.

The group was scared.

Now, he began to think of ways to limit King Yan's reputation in the Ming Dynasty.

Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

In fact, the reason why the flattery plan failed.

It comes from two aspects.

First, the prince's strategic determination would have been lost long ago if it were a prince in history.

Examples of this abound.

Liu Ju, the most virtuous prince in the Han Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince of the Tang Dynasty.

and Li Chengqian, the crown prince established by Emperor Taizong.

…

Of course, there are also good performers.

For example, Cao Pi of the Cao Wei regime.

The prince of this dynasty is even better than Cao Pi in terms of strategic determination.

The second is also the most important.

The reputation of King Yan comes from his real achievements.

Not even an ounce of moisture.

Without waterous achievements, established reputation, and a solid foundation, it will be difficult to collapse.

You can hold it.

But it is difficult to kill.

Even if the prince lacks strategic determination, it would be difficult to find a breakthrough if he wants to criticize King Yan like this.

…

After being reminded by Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more embarrassed after realizing the small calculations of the ministers.

Is this the case in the court?

What about among the frontline troops?

"Xiong Ying, Yong Ming." Zhu Yuanzhang waved with a smile.

Zhu Xiongying took Zhu Gaochi and trotted to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and rubbed the heads of the two little guys, and said with a smile: "You go out and play."

It's a child after all.

After receiving the order to play, the two children happily greeted them and trotted away.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched with a smile until the two little guys disappeared from sight. The smile on his face gradually turned cold and he waved his hand.

The palace maid and eunuch got the signal and hurriedly left.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and walked towards the throne. As he walked, he said, "You must have been surprised when you saw that we asked Xiongying and Yong Ming to review the documents together, right?"

"We just want to train them to love each other as brothers. At the same time, Yong Ming also needs to master these abilities. The fourth son's future foundation abroad will definitely not be small. To control a group of people from a foreign land with outside power, Yong Ming needs better abilities. !”

…

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and picked up the notes on the imperial desk. After discussion, the two brothers reviewed the instructions and looked at the writings left by the ink pen on it.

Smile.

Put down the fold.

Changing the topic, he said coldly: "We want Lao Si's lineage and Biao'er's lineage to pass on this brotherhood. Lao Si is now on the front line. In order to unite people and set an example, he leads the first town, a group of Soldiers who had never had actual combat experience took the risk to attack Zhang Beicheng..."

If possible.

He believes it.

The fourth child is more willing to let Army No. 1 Town gradually become familiar with actual combat, start with small-scale battles, and continue to experience and improve.

Rather than the current situation, it was the first large-scale actual combat.

It is the most difficult siege battle in the war!

Field battles, for this new army with no actual combat experience in Army No. 1 Town, are better than siege warfare!

But the fourth child had no choice!

When the news of Zhang Nato's battle just came back.

He hasn't realized it yet.

He didn't realize it until just now.

I'm afraid the people on the front lines are not united either.

The fourth son accepted the battle from Togu Si Timur to set an example for the armies at the front.

Some people want to weaken Laosi's first army town.

The fourth child told them that he was not afraid of losing in this battle!

Snapped!

Zhu Yuanzhang said and slapped the imperial court fiercely, "People on the front line and in the court are so shameless! The first army town is not the Ming Dynasty's army! They are the private soldiers of the fourth son! It cost the court almost not a copper coin!"

…

Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang furious.

Sighing silently.

After Zhu Yuanzhang vented his anger, he handed over his hand and remonstrated tactfully, "Your Majesty, the prince is the commander-in-chief and the King of Yan is the deputy commander-in-chief on the front line. I believe that with the wisdom of the two highnesses, the problem will be properly solved..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Bowen.

He knew that Liu Bowen was admonishing.

The war has begun.

Now is not the time to do anything about the front lines.

"In this book, the officials who made suggestions..." Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the book Liu Bowen had just brought, clicked it, and said coldly: "When you go back, take off these people's official uniforms and drive them out of the six departments. ! The court doesn’t need this kind of idiot who only knows how to talk!"

"In addition, I would like to strictly inform all officials that during the war, all information will be based on the front line. Anyone who makes unauthorized remarks about the war will be severely punished!"

"I obey the decree!"

After Liu Bowen accepted the order.

Leave in a hurry.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched Liu Bowen leave.

He stood up, walked to the window again, stared at the north, his eyes filled with worry, and whispered softly: "Fourth, maybe..."

Maybe he shouldn't let the fourth child come back.

He thought about letting the fourth child help his elder brother to fight this battle beautifully.

Thinking about it, let the fourth child take care of the brothers.

But it seems that he only neglected to consider the fourth child!

Different from Biaoer.

He himself knows it very well.

Love for the target.

It's because of a father's love for his eldest son.

This kind of fatherly love has no reason.

It is the innate feeling of licking calves.

There are so many children and he is so busy.

This kind of fatherly love can only be given to the eldest son who has the highest hopes.

To the fourth child and the others, he was just fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations of a father.

The fourth child's position in his heart continues to become more and more important.

First of all, it was because he understood that the fourth child really had no idea about the position of crown prince.

Guilt, plus the ability of the fourth child.

Let him pay more and more attention to this son.

Even outsiders are discussing it privately.

The fourth child's position in his heart was equal to that of Biao'er.

This is not wrong either.

However, in fact, there have always been some differences.

The fourth child is equal in ability.

Biaoer is equal because of love.

His love for benchmarking has lasted for decades and he has devoted his whole life to it.

Just like the cause of the Ming Dynasty that he fought for.

He devoted his whole life to it.

"You can fly if you want. As long as you come back safely this time, dad will never stop you from flying again!"

…

Zhu Di is far away in Zhangbei.

I don't know what happened to Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment.

Woo woo woo...

The sound of the horn resounded continuously throughout the heaven and earth.

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of neat footsteps, four or five miles apart, seemed to be clearly audible to the Yuan soldiers at the top of the city.

"quick!"

"Stir up the fire and prepare the golden juice!"

"The rolling stones and logs are ready!"

…

The city was full of running figures and shouts.

Togu Si Timur led the crowd to watch Naha go out to command the defense of the city.

Mahamu and other young heroes were all studying silently.

The whole grassland.

The group of old men who were best at defending and attacking cities in the Central Plains were basically dead.

Even if there are survivors, they are scattered among the armies.

Their subordinates are better at field combat.

At least, this kind of defensive battle.

In the entire grassland, I am afraid that only the troops and horses withdrawn from Liaodong can be completed systematically.

"Artillery! Artillery from the First Army Town!"

Someone suddenly shouted, interrupting Mahamu and others' observation and study, and shifted their gaze to look outside the city.

Soldiers from the First Artillery Battalion of the Army of the Fourth Prince of the Ming Dynasty, pulling war horses and artillery carts, rushed out from behind the array in an orderly manner.

It's about three miles away.

The war horses were lined up in a row.

After the soldiers unloaded their horses, they led the horses and left quickly.

The forty-eight barrels are slender and long. Compared with the black and thick iron cannons, they look like slender young girls climbing on the cannon cart.

In the eyes of the artillery battalion officers.

These forty-eight bronze cannons are beautiful girls.

Six men per gun.

Two people fixed the gun carriage.

The two prepared projectiles.

The two prepare gunpowder.

Quickly and methodically, with a good rhythm, preparations for the bombardment were made.

"One, two, three... hiss! Forty-eight doors!"

"It's different from our artillery!"

…

Yesterday, the artillery battalion was behind the infantry and cavalry arrays. On the Beiyuan side, no artillery from the Army's First Town was seen.

At this moment, the sun shines.

Tuogu Si Timur and others at the head of the city all saw clearly the difference between the artillery on both sides.

Their artillery was very bulky and could not be mounted on a vehicle.

Zhang Yu whispered: "Looking at the color, it looks like it was made of copper."

Everyone heard the sound and looked at Zhang Yu from the corner of their eyes.

The next second, he concentrated on looking into the distance again.

Dongxu stood with two artillery battalion leaders.

Wen Qi, the leader of the first artillery battalion, smiled and patted Dongxu on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous. The ruler you made during the previous drill was easy to use. It should be the same in actual combat."

"Uncle Wen, thank you for supporting me in my messing around this year." Dongxu turned his head and said with a smile.

"Brat!"

The management of the First Mixed Association Artillery Battalion laughed and cursed.

At this moment, a team officer ran up, stood at attention, beat his chest and saluted, "I'm reporting to the leadership, forty-eight artillery pieces and forty-eight sheds are all ready!"

Wen Qi looked at Dongxu, smiled and encouraged, "Go!"

Dongxu nodded and quickly walked to a nearby artillery piece.

Observing Zhang Beicheng.

Holding a wooden triangular ruler with a movable hypotenuse and a right-angled edge and marked scales, place it on the front of the artillery to make measurements.

While measuring carefully, he ordered: "Take wedge No. 2!"

Shed is coming over with two standard wedges.

Two soldiers carried the muzzle of the cannon.

Dongxu and Sheng were quickly inserting two standard wedges into specially designed grooves on the beam supporting the gun barrel.

Dongxu turned to look at Sheng Zheng, "Start the test firing."

After saying that, he took two steps back.

boom!

After a muffled sound.

A projectile whizzed and hit Zhang Beicheng.

Dongxu stared nervously, watching the projectile hit the city wall slightly higher than the wall. He pursed his lips and immediately ordered: "Change to a No. 3 standard wedge!"

Rear, in front of the infantry formation.

The second association, the first bid, and the second bid have already gone to the east and west gates.

Zhu Di is watching the actions of the first and second bids.

Geng Xuan turned around and asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, what is Dongxu doing?"

It had been a long time since the artillery battalion reached the artillery range.

Zhu Di came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Dongxu studied the trajectories of guns and artillery half a year ago and developed an artillery shooting ruler. During this time, he has been verifying it with the artillery battalion."

This ruler was not born through his reminder.

It was completely figured out by Dongxu himself by studying ballistics.

to be honest.

He knew about the development of artillery and the emergence of rulers later.

Can increase shooting accuracy.

It can make it easier for the artillery battalion soldiers to operate the artillery.

But he felt that the current artillery was too backward, so he did not engage in it.

Unexpectedly, Dongxu thought of this while pondering the ballistics.

Of course he supported this.

After having a ruler.

The current procedure for using rulers is complicated.

It takes a long time.

The adjustment process is cumbersome.

But as long as there is trouble, the craftsmen will definitely find ways to simplify the process and make it easier to adjust the artillery elevation.

Trouble is always the driving force for technological progress.

If there is a need, someone will try to find a solution.

Anyway, in this kind of siege battle, there is no need to worry about trouble.

It just takes more time.

…

"What are Prince Yan and the others doing?"

"Why didn't the artillery battalion start a bombardment for so long after it reached close range?"

"What is Beiyuan doing? Don't you know how to shoot artillery?"

…

In the rear, behind Zhu Biao, the generals looked at each other in confusion, and some couldn't help but began to whisper.

Lan Yu turned around after hearing the sound.

He glared hard at Chang Mao and Li Jinglong, who complained the loudest, "If there is no detailed drill outline for the Army's First Town, do you know what artillery fire is? Can you think of artillery fire?"

Artillery firing is a forward-looking idea put forward by Zhu Laosi in the new military drill.

This is the future, with widespread artillery.

When the two armies are fighting, they must knock out the opponent's artillery as much as possible as soon as possible.

This idea, if Zhu Laosi had not written it into the new military drill code.

Who would have thought?

After all, artillery was not used much in the past.

It's not accurate, the most it can do is hit a dozen charging infantry.

Who can think of engaging in artillery fire?

boom!

At this moment, the roar sounded again.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked forward without caring about anything else.

A projectile whizzed towards Zhang Beicheng.

boom!

Hit the wall hard.

A big hole appeared in the thin wall the moment the projectile hit it.

Gravel splattered.

Hitting the nearby Yuan soldiers, screams rang out immediately.

The corners of Togu Si Timur's eyes twitched violently, and he looked in the distance at his own soldiers who fell to the ground and howled, as well as the large hole that appeared.

Just now, they were laughing at the artillery fire from the Army's No. 1 town, which flew into the city.

I didn’t expect that it would make people stop laughing so quickly.

Naha whispered: "Khan, you should leave Zhangbeicheng."

Togu Si Timur shook his head, "No, Ben Khan is here to watch you and defeat the first army town! There is nothing to be afraid of when a blind cat encounters a dead mouse!"

They also have artillery.

Except it has a longer range than a catapult.

In fact, the power may not be as powerful as a fifty kilogram stone hitting the city wall.

Although Zhang Beicheng is not a fortified city.

But even if the fourth prince's forty-eight artillery pieces were fired red, they wouldn't collapse!

"Wedge number three!"

"Use Wedge Three!"

Outside the city, in front of the artillery camp, Dongxu shouted happily.

"Well done!"

Wen Qi patted Dongxu on the shoulder, strode past behind the artillery cart, and loudly ordered: "Every three sheds are in a group, aim at a section of the city wall, and blast it for me! Blow down the wall stacks and blast them for the infantry brothers." Climb the city and open a passage!"

…

Wen Qi shouted.

The gun battalion brothers collectively replaced the No. 3 wedge.

Load gunpowder, projectiles...

Bang bang bang...

After a while, the sound of shelling sounded one after another.

Two-thirds of the cannonballs hit the thick city wall below the wall stacks.

But there were still more than a dozen projectiles hitting the wall.

There was a group of three sheds and three cannonballs. With great luck, they were not far apart and all hit a section of wall.

There was a boom.

A section of wall about one meter collapsed.

Yuan soldiers screamed and fell to the top of the city.

"Hahaha...Okay! Well done, let's fight like this!"

The two artillery battalion leaders laughed excitedly when they saw this scene.

Bang bang bang...

Bang bang bang...

The third round of artillery fire sounded, and thick smoke had enveloped the entire artillery camp position.

Everyone could only vaguely see busy figures shrouded in smoke.

Everyone's eyes quickly fell on the head of Zhang Beicheng.

He opened his mouth slightly in shock.

After three rounds of shelling, another section of the wall about two meters long collapsed.

There are several wall stacks, which are visible to the naked eye. They are full of potholes and holes. They are crumbling and are not far from collapse.

Especially behind a section of the city wall, the Yuan army deployed an artillery piece. The projectiles penetrated the wall stacks and hit the artillery, causing the artillery to topple over.

Some Yuan soldiers nearby were wailing in pain, and more Yuan soldiers moved the artillery in a panic.

rear.

Chang Mao, Li Jinglong and others all stared in surprise.

Li Jinglong whispered: "Is the artillery aiming rate in the Army's First Town a little too high? Did they master something and didn't tell us how to improve the accuracy rate?"

Everyone is a leader.

It’s very clear what the Army’s First Artillery Battalion is doing.

Use the artillery to knock down the wall stacks.

Not only are the soldiers who climb the city more likely to rush to the top of the city.

At the same time, there are no walls to block it.

The nearby Yuan soldiers are also more likely to be killed by the siege party.

But it’s not easy to knock down the walls.

The artillery battalion in the Army's First Town had such an accurate hit rate. It was obvious that they had mastered some advanced method!

snort!

Lan Yu hummed slightly and said in a low voice: "Prince, Mu Ying and I know that it should be the role of the artillery rod created by Yang Dongxu..."

After returning from the first army town.

They brought with them the generals of the imperial court.

Especially the generals of the new army of the imperial court often looked for opportunities to go to the First Army Town to observe.

This group of people went there and didn’t know where the eyes were!

The Army's No. 1 town artillery carriage was obviously different from the imperial court. The design of the wedge groove was not even found at this detail!

It was he and Mu Ying who found out and asked Zhu Laosi that Zhu Laosi told them the reason.

"Yang Dongxu is undergoing experiments. King Yan is worried about failure, and the rumors have undermined Yang Dongxu's self-confidence, so he has not publicized it to the outside world, but he told Chen and Muying."

…

"Yang Dongxu?"

"Zhu Silang's student?"

"He can actually improve the accuracy of artillery strikes?"

…

Zhu Biao listened to the whispers behind him, turned his head, glanced, and nodded to Lan Yu and Mu Ying.

Zhu Biao looked to the left side of the Army's First Town Infantry Array in front, where Zhu Di stood on horseback, with a flash of envy in his eyes.

The fourth child is a newly married student.

They have all been able to play such a big role in the course of the war.

And students like Yang Dongxu.

There are dozens more of the fourth child!

Yang Dongxu was appointed as the military preparation officer by the fourth child. He has already achieved such achievements at a young age.

Another student, Liu Minfeng, was reportedly arranged by Lao Si to join the army and practice with the army's No. 1 town doctor.

In the future, I’m afraid it will soon emerge, right?

Bang bang bang...

The roaring sound of shelling continued.

Many people, like Zhu Biao, are thinking about students like Zhu Di.

Xu Huizu accompanied Zhu Di on horseback. Looking at Yang Dongxu's figure in the smoke, he smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, Dongxu has the potential to study..."

He was really happy for his brother-in-law.

I am also happy for Dongxu.

Zhu Di smiled.

Boom boom boom!

Just when Zhu Di moved his lips and was about to speak, the roar of artillery from Beiyuan at the top of the city came.

Dozens of pellets.

Smash it at the artillery position.

The artillery carriages are farther apart and more dispersed.

In the first round of shelling in Beiyuan, there was no serious damage except for the flying rocks that gradually caused scratches to several brothers in the artillery battalion.

"Quick! Quick!"

"Aim at the section of the city wall where the Yuan army deployed artillery!"

"Remember, after five rounds of firing, water the cannon to cool it down!"

…

The two supervisors headed by Wen Qi began to press for orders.

The Yuan army did not have the concept of artillery fire, but the threat from the Army's No. 1 artillery counterattack gave the Yuan army an instinct to destroy the Army's No. 1 artillery battalion.

So, in human history.

The first artillery exchange.

This is where it unfolds.

Although the accuracy is poor, it is still very spectacular.

Except for Zhu Di, everyone was stunned by the roaring artillery fire, which was like a punishment from heaven.

A thought popped up in my mind: Is this the war in the future?

boom!

Suddenly a strange loud noise came from the city head.

"ah!"

Screams sounded.

When Naha and others turned around, they saw an artillery blast. The surrounding soldiers were hit by the blast and fell immediately.

For a time, the gunners of the other twenty or so artillery pieces that were shooting were too frightened to shoot.

Naha gritted his teeth in anger, rushed over, and roared: "Keep shooting! Sprinkle water to cool down the artillery!"

After multiple rounds of shooting, the experience of cooling down the artillery has long been established.

But the gunner under his command obviously forgot about it in panic and nervousness.

…

After the Yuan soldiers at the head of the city panicked briefly, the shelling started again.

boom!

A shell, by sheer luck, hit a gun carriage.

The artillery ricocheted high, sawdust flew, and the surrounding soldiers fell down, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

From the rear, Liu Minfeng led a dozen soldiers and rushed forward carrying a stretcher, advancing rapidly amid the projectiles fired by the Yuan army.

Zhu Di frowned slightly, turned to Geng Xuan and ordered: "Go, wait for Minfeng to come back, and keep an eye on him for me!"

After saying that, he turned around and ordered the soldiers around him: "Send orders to Yang Dongxu to come back and report to me!"

Protecting these two children is not just because they are his students.

When children grow up, if they want to become talented, they will always have to go through ups and downs.

They've done enough.

More importantly, their talents should stay behind and play a greater role than rushing to the front.

Geng Xuan and his soldiers took the order and left.

After a while.

One of the soldiers galloped back on horseback. When they saw Zhu Di, they smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, this little brat Dongxu said that the master has to go to the city in person to join the battle, and the students are drilling the cannon three miles away, so why not!"

"Well done!"

Zhu Di glared at Xu Huizu, Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and others who praised loudly.

Then the corners of his lips twitched.

He shook his head helplessly, "Forget it!"

As children grow older, they have their own ideas.

He can give advice, but he cannot prevent children from making their own choices.

It seems that he also doesn't like the old man arranging his life.

After thirty rounds of shelling.

The sound of shelling gradually stopped.

On the Army's First Town side, two artillery pieces were lost and two shed soldiers were injured. Their circumstances were unknown and they were carried down by the army's rescue team.

In silence, the smoke from the city gradually dissipated.

hiss!

There was a gasp.

As far as the eye can see.

The head of Zhangbei City was in a mess.

Before the bombardment.

Thirteen sections of wall stacks collapsed at the sixteen bombardment points planned by the artillery camp before the war.

Collapse length, the shortest is about two meters.

The longest point, according to visual inspection, is at least five or six meters.

Eight of the sixteen marked city walls were where Beiyuan placed artillery.

Eight artillery pieces of Beiyuan were destroyed.

This side of Army No. 1 Town, in front of the artillery position, was also in a mess.

Both sides were stunned by the power of the first artillery bombardment in human history.

Zhu Di had seen the power of artillery in later generations.

At this moment, I was also surprised by the messy scene in front of me.

Originally, such a scene should not appear during this period.

Because of him, he appeared.

"I'm afraid we old guys won't be able to adapt to the future war." From behind, Tang He looked at the city and couldn't help but sigh.

He turned to look at the general behind him, "Although you are young, if you don't know how to learn and adapt, you will also be eliminated!"

Although they are old guys, they have war experience.

But after all, he is older.

My brain is no longer as flexible as it was when I was young.

Unexplorable, it is a tactic suitable for all firearms wars.

These young generals in the imperial court are destined to be eliminated if they remain stuck in their ways.

This is why he tried so hard to retain Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng.

Shiro's military talent has been clearly demonstrated.

He is leading the current New Army war model.

The imperial court could only follow suit.

If Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng were good at learning and had no objection to the fourth general, they would all follow him.

The pace of learning in the imperial court will be very slow!

Zhu Biao nodded silently.

In the smoke of shelling, Yang Dongxu's figure is seen.

Liu Minfeng faced the shelling and led the rescue team to rush out to rescue the figure.

The impact was too great.

Woo woo woo...

The horn sounded suddenly, interrupting Zhu Biao's thoughts.

Zhu Biao looked in the direction of Zhu Di's handsome flag.

Zhu Di waved his hand violently.

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of footsteps sounded.

Six battalions with two marks in each group, more than 5,000 people, stepped on the uniform steps and began to cross the artillery position from the side and approach the city wall.

At this moment, the sound of shelling from the artillery camp sounded again.

The remaining forty-six artillery pieces were divided into groups and aimed at the Beiyuan artillery at the head of the city.

Everyone watching was shocked in unison.

The main event begins.

The biggest test of Army No. 1 Town has begun.

‘More dead points, let Zhu Silang’s Army No. 1 Town have more dead points! ’

‘Zhu Silang’s Army No. 1 Town has no actual combat experience. When the arrows rain down from the city, the camp will be blown up instantly! ’

‘The First Army Town will be defeated, and then our Prince Guards will lead the Army’s First Town and capture Zhangbeicheng to show off for the Crown Prince! ’

…

Many people, such as Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong, who hated and resisted Zhu Di, watched the soldiers of the First Army Town approaching the city wall. They tightened their horse reins and silently cursed.

Xu Da, who cared about Zhu Di, watched nervously.

…

"quick!"

"Adjust the muzzle! Aim at the Ming Army infantry!"

boom!

When the artillery commander of the Yuan Army at the head of the city urged loudly, projectiles came from a distance and hit the nearby city wall hard.

Yuan soldiers were trembling and panicking, struggling to move the muzzle.

Zhu Di accompanied the infantry on horseback at the front.

He has been staring at the Yuan army at the head of the city.

When I saw that the Yuan army began to turn their guns regardless of the artillery battalion's bombardment.

Order: "Each battalion disperse into formation!"

"Each battalion disperses into formation!"

"Disperse the formation!"

…

Ta-ta-ta...

During the transmission of orders, the steps were slightly chaotic, but the formation spread out in an orderly manner.

The originally heavy formation quickly turned into three horizontal formations as they advanced.

In this way, even if the cannonball hits.

The projectiles collided, the formation was thin at the front and back, and the projectiles impacting in a straight line were unlikely to cause much damage to the Army's First Town.

boom!

The first projectile landed in front of the array.

He rushed through the two soldiers at the front and struck the body of the soldier at the rear.

The soldier felt pain, a conditioned reflex formed by training, and subconsciously groaned, and his body was torn apart.

Blood splattered.

The projectile continues to roll backwards.

The faces of the soldiers around him were stained with the hot blood of their robes, and they continued to advance firmly.

The prince is standing in front of the brothers, and the brothers are more valuable than the prince! ?

The prince said that war can only be won if one is not afraid of death!

The prince said that when Paoze fell beside him, only by continuing to move forward could he avenge Paoze on the battlefield!

Soldiers, if they cannot avenge Pao Ze during the war.

Once the war is over, vent your hatred and perform so-called revenge.

That is a shameful act of cowardice!

More and more projectiles are bouncing, plowing a deep trench in the ground, taking away every living life.

But there was no confusion in the entire formation of Army No. 1 Town.

In the rear, a group of imperial generals watched the living lives being torn apart by projectiles, but not only did the overall formation remain stable.

Even the soldiers around the dead soldiers did not panic and started talking in surprise.

"Is this a group of new recruits?"

"This is impossible!"

"How on earth did Zhu Shiro train!"

…

Zhu Biao pursed his lips slightly.

Lan Yu turned around and glanced at the shocked and commenting generals, and said calmly: "There's nothing surprising..."

Zhu Laosi accompanied the soldiers on the gravel road every day.

At this moment, Zhu Laosi was riding a horse again and walking at the forefront of the array, so that all the soldiers could see it.

The casualties in Army No. 1 Town may seem bloody, but they will not lose their courage.

On the contrary, as long as Zhu Laosi continues to stay at the front.

The momentum of Army No. 1 Town will become stronger and stronger!

When an army is being organized and trained, the military spirit injected into it is so important.

Although the prince told Zhu Laosi not to risk rushing to the front.

But he was very sure that in the first large-scale actual siege of Army No. 1 Town, Zhu Laosi would definitely attack the city in person.

Zhu Laosi wants to use this battle to completely condense the military spirit that has been injected into the first town of the army into a solid form.

In this battle, if the Army's No. 1 town can go all out to defeat Zhang Beicheng.

You will definitely become a tiger division!

Arriving in Zhangbei last night, Zhu Laosi led his troops to approach Zhangbeicheng to attack the Yuan army and boost the morale of the first army town.

Today, he predicts that Zhu Laosi will personally attack the city.

What Zhu Laosi wants is to have a battle and work together to determine the outcome!

Gather the military spirit for the first town of the Army!

If it is done.

I am afraid that the imperial court does not have any army that can compete with the army's first town.

The scariest thing is.

Zhu Laosi spread the military spirit of the First Army Town to the First Mixed Association through mentoring.

The second town, the second mixed association in the future...

The generals in the rear court were shocked.

City head.

Togu Si Timur and others were even more shocked.

Mahamu's face was solemn, he observed Army No. 1 Town, gritted his teeth and said: "King Liaoyang, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty is trying to decide the world in one battle. We must not let him succeed. If he succeeds, Army No. 1 Town will really be in trouble from now on." It is the most powerful army in the world!"

Nahachu nodded.

Zhu Di, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, tried to use this battle to gather the soul of the army's first suppressing army. He had led the army for so many years, so of course he could see clearly.

He ordered in a cold voice: "Archers, come to the top of the city!"

He prepared five thousand archers.

All mobilized to the south gate.

There were only 13,000 people in the Army's First Town, but he packed 30,000 people in Zhangbei City!

There were more than 20,000 people originally planned.

Ten thousand people gathered at the entire south gate.

The troop strength was twice that of the 5,000 men in the main attack direction of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

He is still on the defensive side.

He would never give the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty a chance to gather his military spirit and strength!

This new army is already very strong.

If it were allowed to fight on a large scale for the first time, it would win both the siege and the city.

From now on, this new army is very likely to be invincible!

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of footsteps.

In the sound of gunfire.

In death.

Arriving at nearly three hundred paces.

Zhu Di got off his horse and patted Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei raised his head and neighed, glanced at Zhu Di reluctantly, but at the hint in Zhu Di's eyes, he turned around and ran towards the back.

Zhu Di took a firegun from Xu Huizu's hand.

Together with the soldiers, they stepped on the steps and approached within a hundred steps of Zhang Beicheng.

"shoot!"

At the top of the city, the Yuan army archers who had already stretched their bows and waited, loosened their bow strings under Naha Chu's order.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

It was so dark that it was like a dense rain of arrows from locusts, shooting down.

The soldiers subconsciously shrank their necks.

As long as you are not particularly unlucky and get shot in the face, the UFO hat and the paper armor inside can completely block the fatal damage from the arrow rain.

The dense rain of arrows slanted down in waves.

From time to time, soldiers groaned and fell down.

The remaining soldiers continued to advance regardless of the arrows stuck in their cotton clothes.

'Is this war? When Lao Si made his triumphant return across the grassland, did he also risk life and death like this? ’

Zhu Biao stared closely at Zhu Di's back shrouded in the rain of arrows, his face slightly pale.

Does he have such courage?

He didn't know.

But he knows.

No one would let him take such a risk.

Woo woo woo...

The sudden sound of a horn interrupted Zhu Biao's thoughts.

Visually.

Zhu Di raised his left hand high, with an arrow stuck in his left arm.

The three arrays came to a halt amid the dense rain of arrows.

Lan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Prince, the volley shooting before the army's first town ascends the city is about to begin."
