No.40 The final sprint of five quarters

No.40 The final sprint of five quarters

When Zhu Tianxiang heard Daniu's thick voice yelling these words, he wished he could jump out of the car and slap him to death.In desperation, Zhu Daguan had no choice but to walk through the six squares in person.While expressing condolences to the soldiers, he strictly ordered all parties not to relax, the stricter the better.

The whole army walked and trained, Daniu and He Yang were handed over to Zhu Yi by Zhu Tianxiang, and asked him to train to death.And Zhu Tianxiang himself was not idle, and continued to train hard under Lin Feng's training.It was not until the eighth day that Zhu Tianjiang and Wen Ruhai were satisfied.At least with the military order, the formation looks a bit better.Unlike the wave of the flag at the beginning, the chaos is like a chicken coop.Soldiers cannot find their generals, and generals cannot see where their soldiers are.

"Tianxiang, isn't our marching speed too slow?" Wen Ruhai asked worriedly.

"Uncle Wen, with our army like this, what's the use of arriving early. It's okay to let these people defend the city well, but it's tantamount to adding credit to others. Sharpening the knife is not the same as chopping firewood, as long as the soldiers are well trained Well, it doesn't matter if it's a few days late. Otherwise, after the battle, Zhou Yantian's army will be boosted. They will be able to overwhelm our army in a few rounds. By then, there will be no hope for the capital. "Zhu Tianjiang said with a heavy heart.

Although Zhu Tianxiang was not a soldier in his previous life, he has a lot of knowledge about military training.Although many peasant uprisings in history were very successful, in fact, those insurgents already possessed the wolf nature after several fights.If they were to face the main force as soon as they came up, none of them would be able to succeed, and they would be chilled if they could fight in one battle.War tempers the courage of the people, and victory can even improve the morale of the army.Therefore, the first battle between Zhu Tianjiang and Zhou Yantian must not fail.

In the capital, Emperor Chengwu ordered the whole city to start saving food.The civil and military ministers also began to donate the surplus food at home to maintain the stability in the capital.

Inside the commander's mansion of the barracks, King Jing lost a lot of weight, and his eyes turned black.He didn't know how long he could last, let alone arrows, even shields were not enough.In the past two days, Zhou Yantian has been attacking like crazy.The casualties of the defenders in the city were very heavy, and there was a shortage of commanding officers at the grassroots level.

Emperor Chengwu and Prince Jing in the capital were anxious, and Zhou Yantian outside Cheng was also having a hard time.The reason why Zhou Yantian attacked crazily these two days was because Fang Datong's remnants returned one after another, so he confirmed the news of the deaths of his sons Zhou Dazhong and Fang Datong.Those remnant soldiers robbed the people and horses after leaving the city, and they returned to Beijing very quickly.The [-] elite plus the death of his son, this dealt a big blow to Zhou Yantian.Not only lost his son, but also cut off his food and grass.There is a shortage of food inside the city, just as there is a shortage of food outside the city.

A mighty army of 16 came to besiege the city, Zhou Yantian thought he would easily take the capital.Even if he can't take it down, he will force Emperor Cheng Wu to flee in a hurry.Who knew that after so many days, not only did the capital fail to be taken, but the 16 army now has less than [-] left.

What saddened Zhou Yantian the most was the death of his son Zhou Dazhong.He still didn't understand where a surprise soldier appeared from where, and even Fang Datong's [-] elites were eaten clean.The name Zhu Tianxiang was also firmly etched in Zhou Yantian's heart.If he can catch Zhu Tianxiang, Zhou Yantian will use the cruelest criminal law to torture Zhu Tianxiang to death to avenge his son.

Zhou Yantian's army lacked food and grass, so they could hold on at first, but later, Zhou Yantian simply sent troops to the nearby capital to grab food.In doing so, the reputation of Zhou Yantian's army quickly became rotten among the common people.In addition to the [-] returning defeated generals, many people actually spread good things about Zhu Tianjiang in the army, which caused war weariness in many barracks.

Zhou Yantian knew that he absolutely could not evacuate, he planned to give up even the old lady, and take this opportunity to establish the Zhou family dynasty in one fell swoop.Things have come to this point, once Emperor Chengwu is relieved, Dafeng will become a monolith, and there will be no possibility of changing the dynasty.So Zhou Yantian became ruthless, desperately trying to break through the city quickly with a lot of casualties.It was even said that Zhou Yantian, the city gate with four sides, gave up three sides, just to force Emperor Chengwu away.

As long as the emperor leaves, he can declare to the world and establish a new dynasty.The situation in the capital below is unknown, and the exiled emperor has little right to speak.At that time, not many people will work hard for Cheng Wu.

In the palace, Emperor Cheng Wu anxiously walked back and forth, "Wei Zhan, where is Zhu Tianjiang's army now? Why is there no one there?"

"Your Majesty, I have been urging you repeatedly, but according to the date of the reply from the sky, it may be seven days at the earliest." Wei Zhan was also helpless now.

"After so many days, even riding a cow can come from Shu Tianfu. Does this Zhu Tianxiang want to wait until the city is broken before coming back? Wei Zhan, if this is the case, even if I die, you have to Kill Zhu Tianjiang." Finally, Emperor Cheng Wu couldn't hold back his anger and scolded him angrily.

"Your Majesty, although I don't know what happened, Wen Ruhai is mature and prudent, and will never do such a thing. If you persist for a few more days, a miracle may occur." Wei Zhan had to say a few good words for Zhu Tianxiang sentence.

Emperor Cheng Wu rubbed his temples, and sighed, "Alas~! I have calculated everything, but Zhou Yantian will have an affair with Dangyun Kingdom. If Tianxin can come, I don't have to worry about anything at all."

Wei Zhan nodded, "There is also news from General Guo. The soldiers in Zhennan are well-trained, and Dangyun Kingdom is still unable to attack. However, General Guo reminded His Majesty to pay attention to the north. Tianqing Kingdom has not taken advantage of it so far. That's very doubtful."

"Hmph!" Cheng Wuhuang smiled wryly, "Now that I can't even protect the capital, how can I take care of the defense of the north."

While the two were talking, an eunuch came in to report, "Your Majesty, the third prince Xuan Le is asking to see you."

"What is the third emperor here for?" Cheng Wuhuang gave the eunuch a strange look.

Since Zhou Yantian besieged the capital, the three princes stayed behind closed doors to avoid getting burned.Because according to the wishes of the old queen, after Cheng Wu is forced to abdicate, the new emperor will be selected among the three princes.Although the old queen had already appointed the second prince by default, she did not announce it.Therefore, apart from the fourth Xuanzhu, the three princes in the capital are all potential opponents of Emperor Chengwu.

"Show him in." Cheng Wuhuang said, returning to a calm state.He didn't want any son to see how anxious he was.

The third prince walked into the upper study room in a plain robe, "my son Xuan Le, please greet my father."

"Mianli, Xuan Le, you are not studying in the palace, why do you come to Emperor Father?" Regarding the third prince, Emperor Cheng Wu was quite satisfied.

"Father, the capital is in great trouble at the moment. I can't sit alone in the palace and enjoy myself. I should share my worries for my father. Therefore, my son asks for orders and goes into battle as a soldier to resist the enemy." The third prince said in a low voice, but let Emperor Cheng Wu was shocked.

"Xuan Le, are you going to go into battle?"

"Father, as a descendant of the Li family, I would rather give up my status as a prince than watch the rebels humiliate my family. Because my grandmother's order is involved, I dare not ask for military power, so I am willing to go up the city wall to resist the enemy as a soldier. "Third Prince Xuan Le finished speaking calmly, standing with his hands hanging down.

If the prince wants military power at this moment, no one can guarantee whether he will turn against him and help the old queen besiege the palace.So the third prince participated in the war as a soldier, which also showed his attitude.

Emperor Cheng Wu was quite moved when he heard it. He was fighting his mother, and he didn't want his son to participate.But now the situation has changed. The Zhou family didn't want to support the new emperor, it seemed that they were planning to become the emperor themselves.The youngest Xuan Le can stand up at this time, which is enough to make Emperor Cheng Wu feel gratified.

"Xuan Le, you are worthy of being my emperor's son. Good! You are allowed to join the battle. However, as for being a soldier or a general, go and ask your uncle Wang for instructions."

"Thank you, father, my son will definitely fulfill his mission!" The third prince said, bowing and retreating.

Wei Zhan couldn't help admiring the third prince, the kid's timing was very good, and he immediately touched Emperor Chengwu's heart.If it is early, there is suspicion of mutiny.If it's too late, I'm afraid there will be a result.The third prince asked for his life at this time, which was tantamount to betting on his father's victory.

Prince Jing was both relieved and worried when he saw his nephew participating in the battle.Fortunately, there is finally a prince in the capital who is willing to stand up boldly.The worry is that if something happens to Xuan Le, he can't afford it.

"Nephew Sanhuang, you can join the army as an uncle." Prince Jing had no choice but to let the third prince follow him.

"No! Uncle Wang, my nephew is here to fight, not to protect you. The capital is at stake right now. As long as my nephew stands at the top of the city, it will be an encouragement to the soldiers. So, my nephew must go to the city to join the battle." The third prince said calmly.

These days, the three princes may not have seen their own palaces, but the news has not been broken at all.What is the current situation in the capital, the three princes are very clear.

King Jing looked at Xuan Le with old eyes, and said, "Okay! As expected of the blood of my Li family. Nephew of the Three Emperors, Uncle Wang asked you to stand on the highest place and beat drums to cheer, how dare you!"

"Dare! My nephew has never been on the battlefield, but it is not frightened."

"Okay! Come, pass on my commander-in-chief to appoint the third prince, Xuan Le, as the superintendent of the city defense army, and beat the drums to cheer for the soldiers!" King Jing was cruel, and sent the third prince to the top of the city.

Prince Jing himself made the worst plan. His body has not recovered since he was seriously injured, and it seems that he will not be able to last for a few days.Prince Jing planned to go to the city to join the battle at the last moment.I would rather die in battle than watch Dafeng's dynasty perish!
