Chapter 468

life.

This word has appeared countless times in Qian Zhong's life of less than 20 years, but no time before has he felt such a heavy feeling.

However, war will not leave room and time for a person to grow up. Everything needs to be experienced and realized by yourself in the process.

With the extinguishing of the brazier at the gate of the camp, the soldiers of the entire army started to move. Even Ah San followed the team well-trained and set off towards Przemysl in the northeast direction.

There is the first line of defense for the capital of the Kingdom of Poland. After breaking through this line of defense, Krakow is behind.

Qian Zhong was still a little unresponsive, but fortunately, the Shizi guards behind him pushed him, so that he woke up and followed the big troops to leave the Ming army camp.

After the army left, Zhu Zhanhe came out from the large tent of the Chinese army, got on his horse accompanied by Zhu Ping, and chased in the direction where the army started.

……

Premysl.

The appearance of the main force of the Ming army put the entire Przemysl in a tense atmosphere. Counting the time when it received the news that the Ming army was marching here, Przemysl has maintained this state of high tension for a long time. It's been seven days.

Some soldiers had already been transferred back to defend Krakow. Coupled with this continuous high-intensity state of tension, Przemysl's soldiers were already on the verge of collapse.

It can be regarded as a serious tired soldier.

In this state, not to mention combat effectiveness, even daily acuity will be greatly reduced.

But even so, they were still aware of the movements of the Ming army.

Because, this time the Ming army was different from before. Not only did they not rush forward when they raided at night, but they came swaggeringly with torches on their hands.

……

The Ming army is in the middle.

Fan Zhong looked at Qian Zhong with a tense face, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything.

As a military commander, and also as an upper-middle-class figure in Ming Dynasty, he understood the truth that "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven". If it is not for the benefit of future generations, there may be few people who work hard on the battlefield.

But in order to cultivate a Qian Zhong, all the soldiers were asked to give up their titles and rush forward. Instead, they swaggered to the city to attack the city, which Fan Zhong couldn't understand.

However, what Fan Zhong didn't know was that when he had this idea in his mind, Zhu Zhanhe's goal had already been achieved.

This siege was not only an experience for Qian Zhong, but also a way to tell the generals in the world how he treats his own people.

If it is said that it is everyone's dream to make great achievements and benefit their children and grandchildren, then after this dream, there is probably only the dream of children and grandchildren becoming talents.

It can be said that a leader like Zhu Zhanhe is rare throughout history.

Of course, an idea is an idea, and there is reality involved in it.

What Zhu Zhanhe wants most right now is to cultivate a group of generals who are loyal to him and have outstanding strength.

Moreover, if Fan Zhong pays attention to observation, he will find that Ah San has been serving as the striker of the Ming army since he arrived. As for the soldiers of the Han and Wusi Zangdu Division, they are either manipulating firearms or in the center.

……

Soon, the Ming army came directly to the city of Przemysl, and then began an unremarkable siege.

It's really unremarkable.

Different from the previous fighting method of suppressing the enemy with a swarm of rockets first, and then directly hitting the enemy with kerosene bombs and white phosphorous eggs, this time the Ming army can be said to have restrained a lot.

It was still the same at the beginning. After establishing a firm position, they first used swarms of rockets to suppress the defenders at the top of the city, and then used kerosene bombs to attack, but this attack was different from the past, the main target was the top of the city and the gate.

Fan Zhong saw at a glance what Zhu Zhanhe was thinking, which was to completely suppress the defenders at the top of the city, break through the city gate, and then enter the city for hand-to-hand combat.

This has never been encountered since the Ming army went west.

Thinking of this, Fan Zhong couldn't help looking at Qian Zhong who was beside him with a nervous face.

He knew that maybe Zhu Zhanhe didn't adopt this kind of tactics because of Qian Zhong, but Qian Zhong was definitely part of the reason.

At this moment, even Fan Zhong, who once led the horse for Emperor Xuande, was a little jealous.

However, Fan Zhong is not allowed to think too much as he is on the battlefield right now.

After the volley of swarming rockets finished, Zhu Ling asked someone to sound the horn to attack, and Fan Zhong, like Qian Zhong, wanted to charge at this time.

"kill!"

Qian Zhong himself was not too excited, because his current mood was mainly nervous, but those Asan who had already experienced many battles had already become excited, and the shouts of killing soaring to the sky came from their mouths.

Suddenly clamping the horse's belly, Qian Zhong rushed out with the soldiers he led this time, fixed his eyes on the enemy's city gate, and rushed over.

It's just that he didn't realize that in front of him, several royal guards seemed to be exhausted from the rear of their horses, and their speed slowly slowed down, while the few royal guards behind him suddenly accelerated and rushed to his left and right sides .

clang……

The reality is not as bloody as in the storybook. No one can block the arrows on the battlefield for you when you charge. It didn't touch him at all, but it shocked him a little bit.

The Shizi guard beside him shook his head slightly when he saw this, but didn't say anything, just drew out his saber, and slapped Qian Zhong's horse's ass hard.

Excited by the pain, Qian Zhong's horse under his crotch sped up sharply, but he managed to wake Qian Zhong up.

boom……

The loud noise made everyone look sideways, and Qian Zhong also looked up, only to see that the city gate was finally overwhelmed by the attack of kerosene bombs and fell to the ground.

The kerosene bomb suppressed the enemy's offensive at the top of the city very well, and successfully broke the city gate, but it also caused some obstacles to the Ming army.

Seeing the flames in front of him getting closer and closer, Qian Zhong gritted his teeth violently, instead of slowing down, he clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards the fire as if desperate.

Facts have proved that, as Qian Yong's son, Qian Zhong still has courage.

Before today, he had observed many times when the Ming army used kerosene bombs, including when they attacked Buda and Pest, so he knew that if they attacked the city with kerosene bombs, a fire belt would form outside the city.

It just looks scary, but as long as you dare and pay attention to the kerosene dripping from the top of the city, it is still very easy to rush over without getting hurt.

The constant pressure made it impossible for the horse under Qian Zhong's crotch to retreat. It could only jump up suddenly when it rushed in front of the flame, and plunged into the city.

"what!"

With a long shout, Qian Zhong swung the saber he had drawn out when he broke through the city gate, and chopped off the head of an enemy with one blow.

This is his first military exploit on the battlefield.

However, before he was happy and without giving him a chance to attack again, three enemies rushed over, swinging their spears as if to knock him off the horse.

clang~!

There was a tooth-piercing sound, Qian Zhong stubbornly resisted one man's spear, while the other two spears passed by his side, resisted by his armor, and deflected away.

It wasn't that he was lucky, or that the enemy was too good, but that the Shizi's guards who caught up behind rushed up and killed the enemies on both sides.

If the guards of the prince hadn't caught up in time, Qian Zhong would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't been pierced to death.

Before he had time to think too much, he used the guard of the saber, which was equivalent to blocking the spear with the grid of the sword, and took advantage of the situation to bully him, chopping off the enemy's head with one blow.

outside the city.

Standing about five hundred steps away from the city gate, Zhu Zhanhe put down his binoculars helplessly.

In this environment at night, it is still a little bit reluctant to observe the battle situation in the distance.

"It's almost there, put on the signal."

He was still a little worried about Qian Zhong.

Of the three people back then, only Qian Zhong is the descendant now, and Zhu Zhanhe has to love him even if he doesn't.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that Qian Zhong is going to leave it to Daming's next... well, no, it's the next emperor.

With the launch of a loud arrow, the trailing flames appeared so dazzling in the dark night, and the Ming army who were fighting fiercely in the city saw this light.

This loud arrow calmed down even Ah San who was in agitation, because they knew that this was a signal that the Ming army's long-range firepower was preparing to fire a large-scale volley.

If the retreat is slow, they will receive the same treatment as the enemy army, and this treatment is often buried in flames.

The short confrontation had already caused Qian Zhong to hack and kill seven people. When he wanted to move forward, the guards of the prince who had been taking care of him around him yanked him.

There was still something to say, but Qian Zhong knew that he had to obey the order at this time, because even if he wanted to continue, he still withdrew to the city gate with the large army.

According to the procedure, his next task is to work with other soldiers to intercept the fleeing enemies at the gate of the city because of the fire oil bomb attack.

However, Zhu Ling, who did not know when he appeared in the battle, grabbed the girdle around his waist and brought it to his horse. After that, Zhu Ling clamped the horse's belly and took Qian Zhong away from the city gate.

……

Zhu Zhanhe saw Zhu Ling galloping towards Qian Zhong with Qian Zhong, and knew that Qian Zhong had failed in this test.

boom……

Qian Zhong was thrown on the ground mercilessly, which made him a little confused and depressed, but he couldn't vent.

Because he knew that no matter what Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping did, there was a reason for them. For almost 20 years, they had never made a mistake by following Zhu Zhanhe.

"Do you know why you were dragged back?" Zhu Zhanhe looked coldly at Qian Zhong who was sitting on the ground and hadn't recovered from his composure. He was no longer as warm as before.

Qian Zhong stared blankly at Zhu Zhanhe, but did not speak.

"Zhu Ling!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Ling, who received Zhu Zhanhe's order, got off his horse and walked to Qian Zhong's side with a cold tone.

"You didn't give a single order for this attack, and you didn't have any restraint on the thousand people under your command. When His Royal Highness gave the order to stop the attack, more than half of the thousand people you led had been lost."

Zhu Zhanhe got on his horse, glanced at Qian Zhong before leaving, and left a word.

"You are asked to command a thousand people, not to be a hero on the battlefield. Do you know what the word command means?"
