Chapter 1743 Breaking the City [Free]

[It’s fun to write, so keep it free! 】

Zhu Bai's first battle truly shocked the whole world.

After 10 days of rest, the Eighth Princess' army, which had been replenished with food and grass, resumed its siege. However, Zhu Bai, who had also had 10 days of rest and had completed the basic transformation of the entire army, relied on the newly built extremely powerful but shaky defense measures due to lack of humanity, and held out for another 10 days.

During this period, the casualties of the entire defending force were less than 1 million, but the attacking force of the Eighth Princess had suffered more than 000 million casualties. The difference in casualties was less than 20 times, which not only boosted the morale of the entire Imperial Capital Army, but more importantly, increased Zhu Bai's prestige, allowing Zhu Bai to truly make these female soldiers obey him as a man.

The eighth princess initially thought that she had underestimated the enemy, so she personally commanded the subsequent battles and even took part in the battle. She led the assault team and almost broke through the city wall, but was blocked by Zhu Bai himself.

That's right, Zhu Bai fought a battle of soldier against soldier, general against general. He drove the eighth princess off the city wall in an almost one-on-one duel and repelled the most fierce attack.

This may not sound like much, after all, both sides are generals of their respective armies, so it is normal for them to be very strong. But in fact, everyone knows that Zhu Bai was just a man in the palace 20 days ago. He had never practiced martial arts or cultivated himself. He became a marshal only because he had enough soldiers under his command. He was a newcomer, but he was able to go head-to-head with the Eighth Princess, who had been in battle for a long time and was known as the number one in the younger generation. This amazing martial arts talent surprised everyone.

After the Eighth Princess was defeated, she realized the difficulty of conquering the Imperial Capital, so she changed her strategy and planned to attack the city by siege. Because the Eighth Princess knew that there were tens of billions of people in the Imperial Capital, and it would be a huge expense to feed the horses every day.

Before, there was food and grass transported from various parts of the country, so there was no need to worry about food problems at all, but now all food supplies have been cut off by himself, and the imperial capital is an isolated city. As long as this city is cut off from food, the city will open its gates by itself and welcome himself into the city.

Therefore, in the next hundred days, there were very few frontal sieges, and more were various surprise attacks and the interception of food supplies for the imperial capital. Before I waited for 100 days, the wealthy families in the city could not bear it anymore and directly sent people out to surrender to the eighth princess.

He also expressed his willingness to take the initiative to dismantle the city's defensive formation, open the city gates, and let the eighth princess enter the city.

The battle-hardened Eighth Princess did not completely believe this. Although she had not heard the story that Emperor Yongle was almost tricked to death in the city gate of Jinan, she still expressed some doubts about this.

Therefore, she was very cautious and planned to send only a team of soldiers into the city. She would lead the army into the city only after she had completely controlled the city gate and was sure that the formation had been destroyed and there was no danger.

This was an absolutely foolproof strategy. If the defenders really intended to feign surrender, they would have been tricked by the eighth princess.

However, what the Eighth Princess did not know was that this was indeed a false surrender. Zhu Bai did not intend to trick the Eighth Princess into the imperial capital and kill her, but to kill her directly out of the city gate.

Even though the Eighth Princess had rich military experience, she never thought that after being besieged for a hundred days, the defenders would still have the courage and strength to lead the army to charge out. So when the agreed time came, in addition to the team of soldiers who went in to explore the way, the Eighth Princess herself was also watching near the city gate, intending to command as soon as possible.

Then they really saw the city gate open, but the enemy had no intention of luring people in to kill them. Before the group of soldiers entered the city gate, they were swept away by the iron torrent that rushed out and crushed to pieces...

Zhu Bai personally led his 30 billion male soldiers who had been trained for a full hundred days and rushed out of the city gate and pounced on the Eighth Princess who was also at the city gate. The Eighth Princess had never expected such an outcome, and naturally she had never shown any resistance. The guards around her were completely confused, and they did not make any response in a short period of time. They just stood there stupidly until they were destroyed by the surging billion troops.

The personal guards of the eighth princess were crushed by the charge, and the entire army of tens of billions was leaderless and without command. Zhu Bai led the army to charge and fight outside the city for a whole day, and the blood that flowed even dyed the entire earth red.

In this battle, the 10 billion-strong army that the Eighth Princess used to besiege the city was completely defeated. In the end, less than 1 billion soldiers gathered together. The Eighth Princess herself only escaped with her life, and fled back to a nearby controlled city with only a few personal guards.

After that, they retreated a distance of 10 kilometers in 1 days to avoid being hunted down by the army led by Zhu Bai. It is said that the eighth princess did not feel relieved until she escaped from the Tianhe River and slept well for the first time. But after waking up, she burst into tears and her cries shook the sky, because all her ten years of accumulation were lost in one day. This was an army of tens of billions!

After all, from then on, the Eighth Princess never had an army of tens of billions again.

Later generations have done a lot of research on this war and found many special viewpoints. Finally, they concluded that the reason why this war was a great victory was that the three billion male soldiers were invincible.

It’s not because men are so strong in fighting. At most, they are stronger in physical strength, but their intelligence is far inferior to that of women.

The reason for winning this battle was actually because the food supply of the entire army was close to collapse. The 10-year-long chaos had actually caused the economy and food of the entire world to be in a state of collapse. Even many of the princes' small worlds were emptied. Otherwise, there would not have been a story of a deliberate ceasefire for ten days due to lack of food.

Before the war began, at least 80 billion of the 10 billion soldiers were hungry, with only one meal a day, and they were quite dissatisfied with the Eighth Princess. In addition, the -day siege had no gains, and the anti-nuclear war had lost nearly billion soldiers, which made all the soldiers full of resentment.

Naturally, they dared not express or vent their emotions on normal days, but once the army suffered even the slightest defeat, they would immediately disband and abandon their own generals.

Anyway, no matter how later generations studied it, they believed that the failure was a problem of food and grass rather than the problem that men were more powerful than women, but Zhu Baidu achieved an unprecedented victory, taking back all the land north of Tianhe in one breath, and bringing one-fifth of the land of the entire empire back under the emperor's control.

He became the first male general in the history of the world and led the first army composed entirely of men!
