I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 98 We Should Retreat Strategically
At this time, the laws of the MC world only apply to Donglushan.

Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang can use pistons to give building blocks floating rules, he cannot affect other substances in the real world.

Even in Taoyuan Township, mining is done in the open air rather than in tunnels.

Because only Tianyu can add MC rules to the surrounding earth cubes while mining.

To put it simply, if you dig a hole from the bottom of the river, there is a high probability that it will collapse due to the rushing river water...

In desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang began to order people to build the city.

That’s right, building a city.

As a natural strategist, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew what the consequences would be if his offensive was slowed down.

Therefore, when he found that a strong attack was not feasible, he immediately ordered people to build a city on the spot.

For other armies, building a city on the spot like this would be a suicidal act.

However, for Zhu Yuanzhang, who owned nearly half of the blocks mined in Taoyuan Township over six years, building a city was not too difficult.

It is nothing more than using pistons to push the cubes layer by layer to stack them together. The cubes endowed with the MC law do not need to worry about weighing problems at all.

Even if the wall below is blown up, the blocks above can still float in the air.

Zhu Yuanzhang was considering whether he should use this magic to build a floating city and cross over.

However, it is easy to climb up a floating building like this, but it is difficult to get down. They cannot jump from a height of 100 meters like the God of Land and escape unscathed.

So in the stunned eyes of the Yuan army,
In just one month, an impenetrable wall more than ten meters high was built on the other side of the river where quarrying took place.

When the Yuan army from the north arrived, the entire army was paralyzed.

What about the plain battles you promised? What about the encounters you promised? What about the attacks on the enemy halfway across the river?

Cheli Buhua, a general in the Yuan army, curled his lips as he looked at the city wall that was more than ten meters high.
I said that these rebels knew sorcery, and they all laughed at me. If I hadn't run fast, I would have died at the construction site of the Yellow River.

Now that he heard that he was going to attack Zhu Yuanzhang, Cheli Buhua would never come,
Anyway, the other party hasn't become king yet, so why rush?

Most of the officials in the Yuan Dynasty were stubborn.
They will attack anyone who claims to be king. If they meet someone who is busy rebelling and not claiming to be king, they will ignore him. Zhu Yuanzhang in history took advantage of this.

Han Lin'er in the north proclaimed himself king, and Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang in the south proclaimed themselves kings. The Yuan Dynasty's large army rushed to fight them, and Zhu Yuanzhang was caught in the gap and was protected tightly by these kings.

Now not only Liu Futong, but also Zhang Shicheng, Xu Shouhui and others are still little brothers.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the most cheerful person in the whole of China. Even if he doesn't claim to be king, we can't ignore him.

This time, it was Tuotuo who decided to snipe Zhu Yuanzhang against all odds.

As a result, it seemed that success was imminent.
The other side built a city, the other side built a city, built a city, a city, a city, a city...

Tuotuo: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
Tuotuo said, "This is crazy! Who would bring so many building materials with them when going to war?"
Where did they get so many bricks?

The cannons used by the Yuan Dynasty at this time were all trumpet cannons and straight-barrel cannons, both of which were stone-shooting cannons.

However, this type of catapult has extremely limited lethality against the stone walls cast by MC.

Even if several cannons smashed a cube in succession, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops could quickly block it with pistons. Even more outrageous, they could collect rubble through funnels and reassemble it into building cubes in boxes.

Therefore, if you want to capture such a city, you can basically only rely on the number of people.

Before they came to attack Zhu Yuanzhang, they had already fought with the defenders of Guangzhou, Ruzhou and Runing.

It was originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang had withdrawn the main force, and the remaining defenders had no ability to fight back against the army of hundreds of thousands.

As a result, the Yuan army attacked day and night for seven days and seven nights, but failed to even climb up the city wall. After all, at this time the city wall of Guangzhou had been directly reinforced to more than 7 meters by Zhu Yuanzhang, which was not inferior to the height of the Tiananmen City Wall.

The Yuan army had no choice but to bypass several counties and head straight for Zhu Yuanzhang who was still in the wilderness.

As a result, after all the efforts, the other side finally built a city wall that was more than ten meters high.

At this time, many Yuan generals gathered in the main camp with sad faces.
"Do the generals have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Everyone looked at each other in awkward silence.

We have already attacked Gwangju before, and the effect...

Everyone curled their lips and said, it’s not shameful that we Mongols are not good at attacking cities!

The commander glanced around with a dark face, and finally set his sights on Tetsu Ribuka.

"Cheli Buhua, you have fought against these rebels before, do you have any good strategies?"

When Tetsuji Fuka suddenly heard the commander calling his name, his mouth twitched twice.

He looked around at the generals who had nothing to do with the matter and coughed twice:
"Well, how about this, let's run?"

Everyone: "???"

Everyone looked at Tetsuji Buka.
It's like looking at a fool.

The battle hasn't even started yet, and you're already trying to escape. Are you hoping to be hacked to death?
Tetsuji Buka felt a little flustered when he saw the commander who was full of murderous intent.

"No, I mean a strategic shift. Now I think it's not a question of whether we should attack the enemy, but whether the enemy will run out of the city to attack us."

"From what I know...from what I have personally experienced, the enemy's archery skills are higher than those of our elite cavalry. The range of their crossbows and the sturdiness of their armor are also higher than ours."

"Based on my understanding of the enemy, they might be discussing how to attack us right now, instead of waiting to defend our gate."

"What the Prime Minister said about crossing the river and fighting, and attacking the enemy halfway across the river is not a problem. The problem is that we are not on the other side of the river. The enemy has 30 troops, which is not too different from our 50. If the enemy opposes our charge, that would be a big problem."

"I think we should run first... Ugh... retreat strategically, find a nearby city to defend, and then choose the right time to consume the enemy's cavalry before launching a counterattack."

"Anyway, our army has supplies from the imperial court, so we will be able to drag the enemy to death here sooner or later."

The commander was furious when he heard this:
"Bullshit! You are a mere southerner, are you qualified to compete with us grassland men in horseback riding and archery? You are totally wrong! I think you are just afraid of death! When will we grassland men need to hide in the city like those useless southerners? Attack the city at midnight tonight! I don't believe that with the bravery of us grassland men, we can't take down a mere..."

Message Soldier:
"Report!!! It's bad! Marshal, the rebels are coming from the city!"
