Chapter 282: The Great Ming Emperor’s Grandson Who Seizes the City(2/3)

They kept reminding their officers and soldiers what they should do.

Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, who was placed on the left side of Zhu Yunxi, and Zhang Wen on the right, always led their officers and soldiers to focus on the city wall in front of Taisun.

Besieging a city is boring, but defending it is still.

Before the advent of absolute weapons, the means of attacking and defending a city were mostly the same.

Both sides are filling it with human lives.

In the end, it all comes down to which side has more people, more supplies, and higher morale.

Zhu Shangbing, who was rushing at the front, held a shield in one hand to knock away the stones falling from the city wall, and kept waving the long knife in his hand to chop down the bows and arrows shot from the city wall.

"Up to the city wall!"

Under the walls of Daluo City, there was constant roaring, making it difficult to hear what the people around you were saying.

Countless ladders, escorted by officers and soldiers, hooked up to the top of the wall.

In front of Zhu Shangbing, three ladders were placed side by side.

Under the ladder, countless officers and soldiers holding shields faced the stones and arrows that were constantly falling from the city wall.

Zhu Yunxi can no longer feel the presence of his left arm.

The shield in my hand has cracked.

But Zhu Shangbing's roar reached his ears.

After cutting off the feathers of an arrow heading toward him, Zhu Yunxi quickly looked left and right.

The Ming army had already begun to climb up the city wall through ladders. Encouraged by the promotion to the third level, everyone used all their abilities.

Without staying any longer, Zhu Yunxi withstood the attack from the top of the city and finally rushed to the bottom of the city wall to join Zhu Shangbing.

"Up the city wall."

"I'm right by your side!"

There was no more time to elaborate, Zhu Shangbing took Zhu Yunxi's shoulders, and the two of them walked through the opening left by the shield soldiers under the ladder to the front of the ladder.

There is already a group of jumping soldiers in front, ready to climb up the ladder.

After seeing Zhu Yunxi rushing over, the officers and soldiers in this group immediately climbed up the ladder and rushed towards the city wall.

Zhu Yunxi was in the middle, with Zhu Shangbing on one side and a soldier holding a shield on the other side.

"Ascend the city!"….

An arrow crossed the edge of the shield and was nailed to the ground between Zhu Yunxi's neck and shoulder.

Zhu Yunxi glanced upward and bit the knife in his mouth.

On the front city wall, there are ladders climbing up one after another, almost like people are climbing up.

Officers and soldiers rushing in front were constantly hit and fell to the bottom of the city wall.

Zhu Yunxi, who was holding the shield, heard a clang above his head, and his whole arm hit the top of his head heavily. From the corner of his eyes, the officers and soldiers in front of him had already fallen to the wall behind him.

"Capture the city!"

"Fight to the death!"

Before Zhu Yunxi could react, there was a sound of fighting above his head.

Ping ping pong pong.

Moving the shield slightly, Zhu Yunxi saw that the ladder in front of him had come to an end.

He was about to turn his head and look at Zhu Shangbing beside him.

But he saw a stone hitting him from one side.

Zhu Shangbing, who was about to climb the city wall, suddenly became furious.

"Get away!"

Then, Zhu Shangbing actually held up his shield and jumped with both feet, and the stone hit him in the thigh.

With an angry roar, the long knife and shield in Zhu Shangbing's hand fell off, and he leaned back and smashed down the city wall.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes instantly became bloodshot, he dropped the shield in his hand, kicked his legs and jumped up.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

At the top of the three ladders, the ground was already covered in bright red, and corpses fell to the ground.

Before Zhu Yunxi could gain a firm foothold, several Daluo City guards and soldiers were already surrounding him from all directions with long knives in hand.

Zhu Yunxi, who climbed up to the city wall alone, held a knife in both hands, lowered his legs and held the long knife between his eyes.

The battle to capture the city doesn’t have too many bells and whistles.

One side defends the city, and the other side seizes the city.

The people who captured the city rushed to the top of the city again and again, but were knocked down by the defenders again and again.

It is impossible to retreat from the city wall, and there is no way out.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were locked tightly, and the surrounding Daluo City defenders were shouting in words that he could not understand.

Four or five long knives slashed at me from all around.

Behind the swordsmen, several spears came out through every opening.

Zhu Yunxi held the knife in both hands, pointed in one direction, roared, and stepped forward.

The blade cut off the long swords of the two enemy soldiers in front of him. Zhu Yunxi had already adjusted his posture, turned sideways and slammed his shoulders into the two men in front of him.

Several spears that had just been drilled came out steadily from the backs of the Daluo City defenders.

Zhu Yunxi then turned around and began to swing the knife in his hand to slash at the enemies on the side.

The blood-stained moon.

In response, several enemies had already fallen in front of Zhu Yunxi.

And he took this opportunity and looked sideways outside the city wall.

Several shields have already crossed the city wall, and the roar of Ming Wansheng can be heard endlessly.

Hold this territory!

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi only had this thought in his mind.

By guarding this place, more Ming troops can rush up to the city wall, and then they can open up the situation on the city wall and allow more people to rush up.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was no match for the defenders, the remaining two swordsmen immediately hid behind their spears.

Dang Dang Dang.

Several spears struck Zhu Yunxi heavily on his back. If he hadn't dodged in time, his faceplate would have been pierced by the two spears working together...

Not daring to stop, Zhu Yunxi moved left and right to protect the three ladders behind him.

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"The grandson ascends to the city!"

"Hurry and protect His Highness!"

With two bangs, two Ming Dynasty Tiaodang soldiers holding shields landed on the wall of Daluo City.

"Great grandson!"

The two looked at Zhu Yunxi anxiously, and when they saw that he was fine, they hurriedly stood in front of Zhu Yunxi with shields.

"Kill it!"

"Go to the city gate tower and kill it!"

There were more and more footsteps descending on the city behind him. Zhu Yunxi had already rushed out of the shield guards of the two jumping soldiers, and swung his sword towards the city gate to kill them.

The two Tiaodang soldiers looked anxious and looked back at their comrades who were climbing up the city wall behind them.

"Follow Your Highness to seize the city!"

After a roar, except for the officers and soldiers who were left to guard the ladder, the rest chased and killed Zhu Yunxi who rushed out.

"We have ascended the city! We have ascended the city!"

"Give me a blast!"

"Blast toward the city gate tower!"

At Taisun's camp outside the city, Zhu Gaochi, who was holding a telescope, saw with his own eyes that Ming's troops had begun to charge up the city wall one by one. Although he couldn't tell who they were, they still roared angrily.

Beside him, there were nearly twenty artillery pieces lined up.

Following the order from Army Sima, the gunners began to fine-tune the muzzle after firing the last round.

Zhu Gaochi put down his telescope, put his other hand against the saber on his waist, and anxiously walked back and forth in front of the formation, looking at the other two sides of Daluo City from time to time.

"Hurry, hurry up!"
