The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 230 Zhu Yuanzhang is also an ordinary soldier, a good man with strong bones and strong bones, and protects his family and country with the Great Wall of flesh and blood!

under the sun,

Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and General Chen raised their heads to the sky and drew their bows like the full moon, and at the same time loosened the bow strings that they had stretched to the limit.

And the arrows shot by the three of them quickly merged into this round of arrow rain.

Yes,

As the commander-in-chief of the defense at the east gate of Yanmen Pass, General Chen immediately picked up a bow and arrow after issuing the military order, and at this moment he became an ordinary city defense archer.

Not only General Chen, but also Mao Xiang, the actual commander of the third-grade Jinyi Guards, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the actual founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also became the most ordinary city defense archer at this moment.

There is no other reason,

Just because this so-called rain of arrows is really not much, that is, it is only two thousand arrows.

There was no other way. Three thousand soldiers formed an array outside the city. After deducting the artillery and crossbow soldiers, there were only 2000 people on the city wall drawing their bows toward the sky. This was the number including all the generals.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, this Northern Yuan army headed by the Tatar tribe, a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, can be said to be very brave.

An army of [-] infantrymen and cavalry formed up to attack. Even if they launched a charge, they would not be confused at all. They were still in their own favorable formation.

Even after experiencing artillery fire, even though there were only two thousand embarrassed infantry and cavalry troops left, they still attacked as fiercely as prairie wolves.

Facing them, this so-called arrow rain blockade has only one chance, because after a round of arrow rain, those who are not dead will run into the contradiction and resistance formation.

Even if there is no battle, it is still close to the battle!

This kind of volley shooting upwards into the sky, using a parabola to increase the range of the bow and arrow, is not accurate at all. What is hit is a cluster consumption, and what is hit is a matter of luck.

If you are lucky, you can consume more; if you are unlucky, you can consume less!
If they are too close to their own soldiers, such a rain of arrows may accidentally kill their own people!

When Zhu Yuanzhang put down the strong bow in his hand, he couldn't help but have a look of 'admiration' in his eyes.

A rain of arrows fell to the ground, and hundreds of people fell to the ground. However, the remaining 1000 or so horsemen stepped on the corpses of their comrades without hesitation and continued to charge, even before they died!
Of course, at this time, there is no time to judge whether he has died, and he can only default to a corpse when he falls to the ground!
"Cannons and arrows killed more than [-]% of their people, but they also created these real 'steppe wolves'!"

After hearing such a sentence, General Chen and Mao Xiang immediately understood the true meaning of the three words "steppe wolf" in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.

Wolves are ferocious beasts with no humanity. This is an absolutely derogatory term!

But at the same time, this is also the greatest compliment to them!

Wolves are powerful and tough animals. They are brave and patient, a symbol of tenacity!

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang recalled that in historical data, a unique cavalry unit created by Genghis Khan and held by his successors was the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry!

It can be said that they plundered wantonly and were cruel and murderous, but we can never say that their military discipline was lax.

On the contrary, they are hard-working, not greedy for ease, and are highly disciplined and obey orders absolutely, so that they give people the feeling of being born for war.

When Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes twitched slightly, and the murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

"Ye Qing is right, we must defeat them completely."

"If one Northern Expedition is not enough, then there will be two. If two is not enough, then three. We cannot allow them to recuperate. We cannot allow them to refine another Genghis Khan while attacking each other!"

"."

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang pressed the handle of the knife and made up his mind, he heard another voice that was enough to make him, the emperor, feel safe.

Two hundred steps outside the city, whether it was the soldiers in the contradictory horse formation or the sword and shield soldiers behind them, their eyes were scarlet, the tips of their noses were trembling, and they were filled with murderous intent.

The average young man of these three thousand yamen garrison is no more than 20 years old. Less than half of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and the other half are the children of military families who came over after their fathers and brothers died in the war.

The system in the early Ming Dynasty was like this. As long as the country was founded as a military household, it would be a military household for generations, unless all men died!
These new recruits who have never killed anyone are very scared. Even though they are wearing the best armor available, and are well trained and well fed, they are still scared.

But they are not afraid now!

Because they are the border garrison who protect the elders in their hometown, and they are also hot-blooded and passionate men!

How can a nation with a long history and culture that has always been proud of the world lose to the enemy in courage?

"Brother, if I die in battle, don't be afraid to step on my body!"

"Even if I'm not dead, as long as I fall to the ground, you can step on me to kill the enemy, and I'll help you hold the legs of those wolf cubs!"

"You're so scared, at worst you'll be a good man again in 18 years!"

"They are brave, we are braver, they are fierce, we are more fierce, they are not afraid of death, we are even less afraid of death!"

"kill!!!"

The three thousand soldiers roared in unison, startling the birds on the mountains on both sides!

The breath of the three thousand soldiers exhaled by the explosion actually caused dust to rise under their feet!
After the dust settled, only a thousand shield soldiers were seen standing in a bow position with their shields on their shoulders. The iron shields connected together were a steel city wall.And the supports of this steel city wall are a thousand passionate men and women bleeding with Chinese blood.

At the same time, a thousand spearmen had already grasped a foot-long spear with both hands and thrust out nearly half of the gap in front of the shield.

And behind them, the Thousand Sword Shield Soldiers were also ready for close combat.

Each of them stepped forward, holding a round shield in front of him with his left hand, and a knife in his right hand pointing toward the sky, with all the blades pointing forward.

And their eyes at this moment were also looking in the direction of the blade, their eyes as sharp as the shining blade!

The contradiction is thirty steps ahead of the horse formation,
Bol Ji Jin Ulihan, who had lost his horse and was reduced to an infantryman, still charged with a mace in his hand, even though his armor was damaged and he suffered several flesh wounds.

He just looked at the Beiyuan soldiers on the left and right sides. There were roughly more than 1000 infantry and more than 300 light cavalry left, and half of them were wounded soldiers who were still capable of fighting.

He just glanced at the cannon on the city wall, and then roared almost like a roar: "Dayuan Iron Cavalry, kill!"

The sound of "Great Yuan Iron Cavalry" made these Tatar cavalry, who were mainly descendants of Genghis Khan, feel like they had been beaten to death.

Looking at the sharp spears that were more than one meter long extending out of the shield array, they were not only not afraid, but also waved their riding whips for the last time.

More than 300 light cavalry spread out horizontally. After gnashing their teeth and whipping the horse's butt once with a whip, they decisively threw away the whip and pulled out their scimitars.

At this moment, they regarded themselves as heavy cavalry that broke the formation!
Of course, they also know that if the light cavalry fights the heavy cavalry, it means death or life!

But they still press forward, just to reoccupy the fertile Central Plains with rich products and livable climate, just so that their people do not have to travel thousands of miles to the Great Lakes to spend the winter every cold winter!

Although they know that they are committing thieves and committing an unjust act of military aggression!
Only a muffled bang was heard. The first cavalryman to hit the contradictory cavalry formation was directly pierced by spears, including his horse and his men. However, this pair of contradictory soldiers were also knocked upside down.

Immediately afterwards, there were continuous collisions and muffled sounds, as well as continuous screams of people and horses!

Not only were the men and horses impaled on the spot, there were also Beiyuan light cavalry who were rushed in while their horses were impaled, and there were quite a few of them!
They desperately got up and fought again, but they all died under the swords of the sword and shield soldiers.

But at this moment, the contradictory horse-rejection formation, which had been desperately charged by three hundred light cavalry, had been severely deformed, and there was no longer any need to exist.

At this moment, it was a close combat of killing whatever was available.

Although the contradictory horse-rejection formation no longer rejects horses, it is a combination of contradictions and a very tacit understanding of killing the enemy!
The sword and shield soldiers also rushed towards the meat grinding battlefield with only one purpose, and that was to not let a drop of Beiyuan people's blood be spilled on the city wall.

On the city wall, all the soldiers clenched their fists, eager to rush down to help their brothers.

The archers, in particular, wanted to use bows and arrows to help, but they did not dare to help. Not to mention that they could not kill accurately in [-] steps, it was really difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

I could only hear the clash of swords and soldiers, I could only hear the shouts of killing, and I could only see blood splattering all over the sky. The blood was splattered on the black armor of the Beiyuan soldiers, and also on the silver armor of the Yanmen soldiers!

Fortunately, Yanmen Arsenal's armor was very good, and they were saved at the critical moment.

The scimitar slashed across their waists before their eyes, but it only caused a trail of sparks. It looked dangerous, but in fact it was harmless!

But no matter how powerful the armor is, it is not an absolute protection. There are always areas that cannot be prevented, not to mention that some people are not holding scimitars, but blunt instruments that will vomit blood if hit!
Among the battlefields, the one closest to Zhu Yuanzhang,
A big man from Beiyuan wielded a hammer and struck a sweeping blow, hitting a sword and shield soldier directly on the chest and abdomen, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and take several steps back.

Because of this, he seemed to be out of touch with the battlefield.

But at this moment, a Beiyuan infantryman with his face covered in blood rushed over.

The spear pierced his abdominal cavity, and blood flowed out like a fountain.

This young soldier, who had long lost his sword and shield, had eyes that were not only blood red but also protruding outwards. He was filled with hatred and pain to the extreme.

But his eyes were still firm. He just laughed, bit his teeth that were bleeding, opened his arms, and let the spear penetrate his body.

Finally, he hugged the Beiyuan infantryman who pierced his body!
"Ah ah!"

He just shouted loudly and used all his strength to push the Beiyuan infantryman back.

At this moment, he only remembered his mission, which was not to let an enemy rush past the [-] steps outside the city.

Finally, he completed his mission and closed his eyes with a smile.

At this moment, he was still hugging the body of the Beiyuan infantryman tightly, and his hands were clasped behind his back.

Looking at this scene, even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was used to fighting on the battlefield, felt his nose was a little sore.

"Okay!"

"It's all good!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang secretly praised him, the swordsmen no longer collided and the killing calls stopped.

Because except for Boljijin Ulihan, who could not stand evenly, there was no living Beiyuan Buqi! .
