In fact, Zhu Yunxi did not fall asleep.

The war is approaching and no one wants to sleep.

If it weren't for the generals in the army who were constantly inspecting the camp and urging them, the officers and soldiers of the Taisun Department would not even close their eyes.

However, as long as people close their eyes and travel for days, they will eventually fall into a light sleep.

Wait until the sun sets and it gets late.

The campground was also slowly filled with fragrance.

The Huotou soldiers held big iron spoons and knocked the pot lid, making a bang bang bang sound.

"It's time to eat!"

"You bunch of straight-up cowards, get up now!"

Most people who cook are not to be messed with.

Even though the sound of banging the iron pot lid was just outside the camp, the officers and soldiers inside could only curse a few times in a low voice. After walking out of the camp, they asked with flattering faces, what happened tonight's attack?

Can we let them eat more during the meal in front of the city? Can we have two more pieces of meat?

The fire-headed soldiers raised their brows and raised their heads, squinting at the officers and soldiers who asked questions.

"If you eat so much, can you eggless people climb the city wall?"

"There's no meat to eat! When you get into the city, you're going to eat grandpa. Grandpa will wash himself clean and jump into the frying pan!"

Amidst the shouts and curses of the Huotou soldiers, the entire camp was suddenly filled with the sound of constantly grabbing food.

On the west side of Daluo City, Zhu Quan, the forward camp of the Southern Expedition Army.

Behind Zhu Quan, who was dressed in military uniform, the five thousand soldiers of the forward battalion were also eating dinner before the war.

Zhu Quan led several generals and soldiers in the camp. After looking at the top of Daluo City, he turned to the Taisun tribe in the south of the city.

"Taishun's place has already served dinner."

The lieutenant immediately answered with his hands raised: "A quarter of an hour ago, someone came from Taisun's side, and dinner has already been served."

Zhu Quan nodded. The journey to the south made this nobleman of the clan look more like a border general: "After the war begins, you lead two thousand men and horses to pretend to attack the west wall. I will command the remaining three thousand to support the grandson at any time."

No lieutenant dares to disobey, these are established siege strategies.

After arranging tonight's siege, Zhu Quan let out a long breath.

He hoped that he could quickly become like his fourth brother and be able to take charge of the Ming Dynasty, but he also understood that tonight's battle was something Chang Sheng would never allow others to interfere with.

On the north bank of the Red River, the central army of the Southern Expedition Army has also begun to eat.

Chang Sheng also stood on the high ground by the river, leading the generals in the army to look at Daluo City.

Because of the obstruction of Daluo City, Zhu Yunxi's tribe in the south cannot be seen.

At this moment, by the Red River under the high ground, the first batch of officers and soldiers who had eaten were already putting huge wooden boxes into the water.

Because it is a plain, the Red River outside Daluo City is not deep or fast.

The huge wooden box, which could accommodate five people sitting side by side, sank into the water and floated. Then, before the wooden box had penetrated the river water and sank to the bottom, the officers and soldiers went down into the water and drove thick wooden stakes into the river bed.

, and then bundled with the wooden box.

Of the officers and soldiers of Chang Sheng's department, only the siege infantry crossed the river.

Almost all the cavalry are in Zhu Quan's camp, and the artillery only needs to be fired across the river. The wooden box that can not sink into the water is enough for the army to cross the river and complete the task of capturing Daluo City...

The deputy general never spoke when he saw the general.

After thinking about it, he found a topic: "After this battle, the Jiaozhi Road is peaceful. After our army rests and reorganizes, we will continue to move south. I heard that Qinghua City is well managed by Taisun, and those merchants have begun to

Settled in and mined wood, picked spices, and looked for gems and minerals in the mountains and forests to the west."

Chang Sheng's face remained silent, so that no one could see what was in his heart. He just said calmly: "On the coast of Qinghua City, if it is connected to Changhua, the Jiaozhi Road should start with Qinghua City."

The lieutenant general said: "Behind the mountains to the west, there are indeed countless flat and fertile lands."

After finishing speaking, Vice

The general looked at Chang Sheng silently.

He is also a distinguished military general of the Ming Dynasty, and he also wants to replace the fields in the Central Plains with the Jiaozhi Road.

Chang Sheng finally moved and looked back at the deputy general and the other generals around him.

"It will take three to five years to pacify the south and rebuild a land south of the Yangtze River. You and I will both be heroes of the country."

All the generals immediately said in unison: "All of you are Your Majesty's sage, the country is benevolent, and the general's command is unparalleled."

Chang Sheng was indifferent and suddenly pointed at Daluo City: "After the city is broken, capture Chen Yuandan for me. I want to see him."

The generals hesitated for a moment, and then they all nodded and accepted the order.

Chen Yuandan is the coach of Daluo City, but he is just a mediocre person. Since the general wants to see him, the army will naturally be able to capture him and bring him to the general's throne.

……

"The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted to the third level."

"The honor of Uncle Hou is here tonight."

"After the war, I will personally perform a tribute for you and others to ask for merit!"

"When I return to Beijing, I will be applauded by the people in the city."

Daluo City is not a fortified city, but it is not easy to capture either.

For the first time, Zhu Yunxi roared in front of the army to inspire his officers and soldiers.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

The sky shook, and the defenders in Daluo City were shocked and panicked.

The Ming army is about to attack the city.

A sense of oppression instantly filled the defenders on the entire city wall, and the sound of drums was heard all of a sudden. After a while, Daluo City was lit up by countless torches.

As the most stubborn five generals in Daluo City who had no chance of surrender, they all went to various sections of the southern city wall.

If you stay with the city, you will have no regrets even if you die.

There are people like Chen Qiong who surrendered, and naturally there are also those who vowed not to surrender.

In front of Daluo City.

The Ming army has already started moving.

Zhu Gaochi, who was wearing heavy armor, was eager to try, but was held back by a hand reaching out from behind.

Then, he saw Zhu Shangbing who had put down his visor and snorted coldly.

"You stay here, except for the artillery that sweeps the formation, the rest are all aimed at one point, and I will bombard you hard!"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Yunxi who had already pulled out his long sword, and could only nod his head, then clasped Zhu Shangbing's shoulder with his backhand: "Watch Brother Xiu."

Zhu Shangbing laughed loudly: "A certain family will be the first to climb the city wall today to clear a way for Brother Hei!"

Then, Zhu Shangbing left Zhu Gaochi with a good-looking figure from behind, and led his troops toward Daluo City with great ambition.

Boom.

A loud noise, accompanied by a dazzling firelight, cut through the night sky south of Daluo City and illuminated it...

I saw a red fireball running straight towards Daluo City.

There was another loud noise.

Daluo City seemed to be shaking under the night. On the city wall not far from the city gate, bricks and stones were splashed, and there was a burst of exclamations.

Then, all the artillery obtained from Zhu Quan roared in unison.

Countless cannonballs, like falling stars, passed over the heads of the Ming officers and soldiers who were guarded by shield soldiers, and rushed towards the city wall of Daluo City.

The artillery at this time is not accurate.

Just aim in a general direction and no one can tell where it will land.

However, countless artillery fired in unison, and most of the shells landed on the city wall.

The defenders who had already prepared their bows and arrows were frightened and many of them hurriedly shot out the arrows in their hands, which fell softly on the ground outside the city.

After they rushed to the first three miles of the city wall, Zhu Yunxi heard several metal collision sounds from his armor.

"Shoot the fire blunderbuss upward and pin down the people on the wall for me!"

"The shield soldiers resisted, the ladder followed!"

Generals scattered throughout the army
