Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

Zhu Gaojiao looked around and saw that these soldiers were downcast one by one, their heads drooping like eggplants beaten by frost, sitting on the ground weakly, because they were hungry and their whole body was paralyzed and their limbs were weak.

It is estimated that the Dongying people also had this idea. It was a cunning and vicious strategy to trap them in the canyon without any effort.

"Am I being careless?"

Zhu Gaojiu regretted more than once. It would be great if he could have listened to Sun Ming's words at the beginning, but it is useless to say anything now. He can only pin his hopes on Sun Ming, hoping that he can stand out from the encirclement of Dongying and bring the news out.

"King Zhao and the others should have received the news, why haven't they brought troops here?"

Zhu Gaojiu smiled bitterly and said, "If the third brother knew that we were in danger, he would definitely come over immediately, but now—" He shook his head and sighed.

"I'm afraid that the third brother is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, and he can't protect himself."

In the bottom of everyone's heart, there were still weak expectations, and perhaps things had not reached the worst level, but as time passed, they had to face the reality.

Zhao Wang, like them, was only afraid of falling into the ambush of the Dongying people.

"These Japanese pirates are really abominable. They can't beat us on the frontal battlefield, so they just play these insidious and dirty tricks."

"If General Sun was not discovered by the Dongying people, the news should have been sent back to the capital." Zhu Gaojiu looked a little annoyed and ashamed, remembering what he had sworn to say in front of Zhu Xi at that time.

Now it was like a silent slap, slapped loudly in the face.

"I don't know how the civil and military officials will talk about us. It's a shame."

Originally, I thought that I could take this opportunity to gain military power and improve the reputation of the people, and to ruthlessly brush the presence of Zhu Di in front of him. Who would have thought that this would end like this.

Zhu Gaojiu's confidant comforted: "My lord, relax, we still have a chance, after the arrival of the imperial reinforcements, we will fight to the death with those Japanese pirates in the East, and we will be ashamed!"

"I just don't know who will be sent by the imperial court this time."

The spy in charge of vigilance ran over in a hurry, "Report to your lord, traces of people from Dongying have been found ahead, and it is suspected that a large number of people are approaching."

Zhu Gaojiu's expression changed suddenly, "No, they found us, hurry up and let the whole army retreat."

However, there was no way to retreat. Zhu Gaojiu and others were forced to the top of a mountain. Fortunately, the terrain here was relatively high, and there were shelters, so they were not discovered by the soldiers of Dongying, and barely escaped the disaster.

"Recently, people from Dongying have been searching more and more times. There are several groups of people a day. If this goes on, we will be found sooner or later."

There were several times when Zhu Gaojiu and others were unavoidable and could only face them head-on, but fortunately they were all facing Xiaobo Dongying soldiers, and there were no large troops coming, so they were barely able to cope.

Even so, their casualties are not small, and the number of people now has shrunk by more than half compared to the original, which is really miserable to the extreme.

"I don't know if we can support it until the court reinforcements arrive."

Everyone's faces were a little gray, and their morale was low. The situation was really not optimistic, and Zhu Gaojiao was only in a better state than them.

"Dongying has been moving a lot recently, and I think I'm running out of patience, and I'm about to start closing the net." His gaze fell on the foot of the mountain, with a touch of indescribable solemnity.

"If the Dongying people can't find us again, I'm afraid they will take extreme measures, such as setting fire to the mountain."

This kind of crazy thing, Dongying people can definitely do it, and Zhu Gaojiao has to prepare for the worst.

"How dare they!"

You must know that Zhu Gaojiu is Daming's prince. If he really died in the hands of the people of Dongying, then he and Daming would really have reached the point of endless death.

"They all dared to send troops to Goryeo, what else would they dare not?"

Zhu Gaojiu's tone was calm, but the solemn expression in his expression made everyone's heart sink.

I saw that they were surrounded by mountains, and it would be even more difficult if they wanted to climb with their bare hands.

The entrance has been blocked by falling rocks, and Dongying soldiers have guarded the only exit. The troops must be dense. If they forcibly break through, they will be targeted by concentrated firepower, and they will be disabled if they die.

"Then what should we do now, can't we just wait to die!"

They have to wait for the rescue of the imperial court, and they don't know how long they will wait. During this period, they are still facing problems such as lack of food and water, and they have to face the encirclement and search of the soldiers from the East.

Putting all hope on the outside world is too risky.

Zhu Gaojiu pondered for a moment and said, "We can't sit still, and we can only take risks for the present."

"Now the Eastern Ying soldiers are sure that we are short of food and water, and we must not have the strength to counterattack, so we will take a surprise and do the opposite."

The people of Dongying thought that during the encirclement and suppression of these days, the soldiers of Daming should be like birds in a panic.

But I didn't think that Zhu Gaojiao's courage was no trivial matter. In a desperate situation, he even thought of breaking through, or else it was a bold artist.

The confidant was still a little hesitant, and glanced at the soldier beside him, "But brothers—"

Before he could finish speaking, the scattered soldiers stood up from the ground, "We support the prince! Rather than waiting to die here, we might as well have a good fight, we've had enough of this fuss!"

"That's right, fighting to the death and still having a chance to survive is always like being dizzy and dizzy here, or waiting for Dongying to fight, even if we die, we have to fight vigorously! At least pull a few backs."

Seeing that everyone's morale had changed from the previous slump, Zhu Gaojiu nodded and said, "It's good for everyone to have such an idea. Today I'm here to advance and retreat with everyone! Live and die together!".

Chapter 275

Zhu Gaojiu's plan is very simple. Now Tongdongying keeps sending people to the canyon to search, and the troops must be divided. Even if they send troops to guard the only exit of the canyon, this means that they still have a chance to break through.

Although he led half of the army at the beginning, but after the siege of the canyon and the strangulation of the soldiers from the East, the soldiers have shrunk by more than half. If they can concentrate their firepower on the breakthrough, it is not impossible.

"The position of Dongying people is relatively weak here, and we can choose to start from here."

Although the spy sent in the past is not the best in the army, he is a top-notch existence in terms of movement and concealment. He did not live up to Zhu Gaojiu's expectations and brought a piece of very useful news.

Hearing this, everyone's spirits were lifted.

"Okay! Then this is our only way to survive. We must spare no expense to fight a bloody path and escort the prince out of the valley successfully."

At this time, the eyes of everyone almost had a determination to die. They knew that even if this was a place where Dongying's defense was weak, it would not be easy for them to break through the encirclement.

After all, the people of Dongying are not fools. Once their motives are discovered, they will definitely turn the soldiers around to deal with them. Sacrifice and bloodshed are certain, but as long as Zhu Gaojiu successfully leaves the valley, there is hope for a comeback.

"We must break through in the shortest time, otherwise other Eastern soldiers will come after hearing the news, then the consequences can be imagined, it is definitely not something that our current forces can deal with."

Although they can wait for reinforcements to arrive on the spot, they are not sure. Before that, they may face the encirclement and suppression of Eastern Ying soldiers, as well as the difficulties of lack of food.

Rather than fall into the hands of the enemy, or starve to death, it is better to fight to the death.

So everyone knew that the road ahead was full of dangers, but there was no retreating look on everyone's face.

"I swear to protect the King of Han to the death, and fight a bloody path. Anyway, the head has a big scar, and it will be a man again in twenty years. If the prince can escape, he must avenge us!"

Zhu Gaojiu didn't say too much, just nodded at them, "Certainly, when I get out of danger, I will make those Dongying people pay the price in blood!"

The words at the moment seem to be pale no matter how much they say, everyone looks solemn, and there is a storm that is about to come in the atmosphere.

Before setting off, Zhu Gaojiu also let people slaughter a few war horses, and it was rare to have a full meal. Although everyone's faces were still ugly, they were more hungry and weaker than before. At this time, they also accumulated strength to facilitate future battles.

"Let's distract the Dongying people first and delay the time for us."

The fire left behind was not extinguished, but instead ordered people to add some firewood to intensify the fire, attracting the people of the East Ying to this side. In addition, Zhu Gaojiao also ordered a few people to go to other places to light the fire. It is from another trail.

In this way, the Dongying people have no skills, at least they have to run to several places. After all the inspections are completed, it will take at least a little time. They are taking this opportunity to break through.

At the exit of the canyon, the East Ying people formed a group of three and two, without any warning. Probably they already thought that the Ming soldiers in the canyon were not good enough and would be captured by them sooner or later, so they did not take it to heart.

"I thought that Daming was so powerful, but he was so vulnerable. General Song was just a small layout, and this group of Daming soldiers just fell into it. It's ridiculous."

"It is rumored that Admiral Song has a very powerful advisor. These strategies are his dedication. We were able to lay down several cities in such a short period of time. He is a big contributor."

"I heard that the one in the canyon is Daming's second prince. If we can capture him and negotiate with Daming, I think the Daming Emperor must be afraid. The emperor's great cause is just around the corner."

Dongying soldier, you said something, but revealed some information. Zhu Gaojiu and others hid in the dark, silently watching the movement here, looking for the best time to start.

The grass that is more than half a person's height is a natural shelter, plus the blind spot of vision, no one notices, they are approaching carefully.

Zhu Gaojiu waved his hand lightly, and the others received the order, and rushed out like ghosts, immediately approached the Dongying people who were guarding the outermost, and wiped their necks with a knife, without even making a sound.

The Dongying soldiers inside didn't notice the movement at all, and just when they thought everything was going well, a harsh whistle sounded.

· · · Flowers · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·???????

"Di - there is an enemy attack!"

Zhu Gaojiao quickly raised his hand towards the place where the sound was made, and threw the knife in his hand, and the body of a Dongying man fell. , even so it's too late.

"Damn, they even have a secret post!"

Looking at the Dongying people running out of them, he couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, and everyone cheered up.

"While there are not many of them now, we must break through the siege quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"

Fortunately, the smoke bombs thrown by Zhu Gaojiu and others before had played a role, otherwise, in the face of Wuyangyang's Dongying soldiers, let alone break through, I'm afraid this would have been wrapped into dumplings.

......... 0

Even so, the situation is still not optimistic.

Dongying soldiers guarded the exit, almost recharging their energy, while Zhu Gaojiu and the others were tired of avoiding, or lacked food and food, and they were inevitably a little weak in battle.

Seeing the soldiers around him fall down, Zhu Gaojiao couldn't tell whose blood it was, but there was still some distance from the exit.

Those Dongying soldiers followed one after another, as if they could not kill them, and the blood almost flowed into a small stream on the ground.

"Be sure to escort the prince out of the valley!"

The confidant roared loudly, his voice became hoarse, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a Dongying soldier pounced on Zhu Gaojiao.

"Lord, be careful!"

He hurried forward, blocking the long sword that shone with cold light, and was suddenly stabbed in the lungs by the Dongying soldiers, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

"I'm sorry, my lord, my subordinates can no longer move forward with you."

Rao is even a character like Zhu Gaojiu, and his eyes became red. He looked at the exit in front of him, although it was close at hand, but it seemed to be far away.

There are more and more Dongying soldiers around.

"Could it be that I'm going to confess here today?"

If he is really captured by Dongying, the best outcome is to become a hostage and use it to threaten the existence of Daming. For the proud Zhu Gaojiao, nothing is more painful than death.

Just when Zhu Gaojiao fell into despair, there was the sound of hooves not far away.earth.

Dongying's reinforcements arrived so soon?
