Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

At the same time, 10 troops were also dispatched from Seoul, coming from all directions, like making dumplings.

"Kill!"

Just listening to the call to kill Zhentian, and looking at the steady stream of Dongying soldiers, Chen Qingzhi's complexion became extremely ugly. Before their reinforcements arrived, the Dongying army arrived first.

Now even if he wants to go, there is no way to go. If it is replaced by other ordinary troops, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it long ago, and Baima Yicong has also dropped sharply from the previous 800 to only a few hundred people.

Dongying completely had the upper hand and formed a crushing situation. Just when Chen Qingzhi and others were about to lose their hold, they suddenly heard the sound of hooves.

"General be careful!"

Chen Qingzhi shook his head slightly, and a cold light flashed across his head. By the time he found out, he could not dodge in time. Seeing that the big sword was about to slash, at this critical moment.

With a "whoosh" sound, the sharp arrow came through the air, wrapped in strong wind, as if even the air could be split in half, and landed exactly on the tiger's mouth.

The Dongying soldiers who had attacked by surprise groaned in pain, and at the same time, Chen Qingzhi also reacted quickly, raising his knife and letting the corpse of the attacking person separate.

I saw Zhu Gaoyu put down his longbow. The arrow just now came from his handwriting. If it was a moment later at night, I'm afraid it would be Chen Qingzhi lying on the ground.

Chen Qingzhi said with great excitement, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life."

Just when Baima Yicong was more than half damaged, Zhu Gaoyu led the Ming army, like a magical soldier that fell from the sky, and quickly plunged into the battlefield, which greatly relieved the pressure on Chen Qingzhi and others.

The advantage that Dongying had gained in the first place was gradually taken back by the Ming army. Not only that, but under Zhu Gaoyu's heroic command, he was gradually at a disadvantage.

On the other side, King Han and King Zhao also received orders from Zhu Gaoyu.

"Second brother, there is news from the fourth brother that the vanguard he sent has already met the Dongying army. The two armies are on the outskirts of Seoul. Now we need to hurry over to support and wipe out the Dongying army."

Zhu Gaojiu's expression was gloomy and unpredictable. Now Zhu Gaoyu and the Eastern Ying army should be on the same level in strength. They took away some of the troops, and it may even cause the number of Eastern Ying soldiers to be slightly higher than Zhu Gaoyu's.

If they choose not to fight at this time, wait until the battle is almost over and wipe out the strength of Zhu Gaoyu's side. If they go to the end, they will most likely be the biggest winner of this battle.

"Second brother, do you think we should send troops immediately, or wait a moment..."

Zhu Gaojiu and him looked at each other, and the words were not finished. Zhu Gaojiu understood what he meant, and his eyes were hesitant and struggling.

Originally, in this battle, they were the commander-in-chief, and they wanted to make military contributions to gain prestige and perform well in front of Zhu Di, but they were trapped in an ambush in the East, and not to mention being rescued by Zhu Gaoyu, they even lost their military power, and it was rare to have a chance before them.

"But..." Zhu Gaojiao sighed, "In case our reinforcements are late and our army is defeated, the consequences are not something you and I can bear..."

Although Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu didn't like Zhu Gaoyu and had always wanted to regain military power, this battle was already about Daming's national prestige. If he lost, it is conceivable that Daming's status in the eyes of the affiliated countries would suddenly decrease.

Zhu Gaojiu was still a little unwilling, after all, a great opportunity was just around the corner.

"Second brother, you have figured it out clearly. If we miss this opportunity, there will be no more in the future. Once we win, we won't get any benefits. All honors belong to that little brat, and we will make up for it."

Although Zhu Gaojiu wanted to dig a hole for Zhu Gaoyu to jump in, his reason still prevailed.

"Don't forget that we are a family after all on the battlefield, our surname is Zhu! And we have dispatched so many troops, and we are all prosperous and vulnerable to Ju Song. Once we lose, the crown prince's throne will never be ours."

Zhu Gaojiu gave him a fixed look, and seemed to understand something, "Then listen to the second brother!"

They set off immediately, and according to the agreement, Chen Bing from both sides, when Zhu Gaojiu and others arrived, the two armies were fighting vigorously.

The situation between Dongying and the Ming army was not much different. The Ming army even had the upper hand. The arrival of Zhu Gaojiu made the battle completely one-sided.

"Fourth brother, here we come!"

Although the army led by Zhu Gaojiu arrived a while late, it had little impact. The Dongying army was caught off guard. Zhu Gaoyu glanced at the two with a half-smiling smile, "I thought you guys would not come."

His eyes were dark, and the two's careful thoughts seemed to be invisible in front of Zhu Gaoyu.

On the other hand, Zhu Gaojiu was still calm, but he just smiled shyly, "Second brother, what are you talking about, it's just a delay on the way, we came over as soon as we got the news."

Zhu Gaoyu smiled noncommittally.

The soldiers of Dongying fought against Zhu Gaoyu's side, and they were able to resist one or two at first, but now the three sides of the Ming army have gathered, and they have been defeated, and they are almost retreating. , with no power to fight back. .

Chapter 287

"The Ming army is really aggressive, and our army can't resist it at all. Now, there are more kings of Han and Zhao coming to support. If this goes on, it will be a matter of time before the city gates are broken."

Listening to his subordinates reporting the battle situation ahead, I saw that his armor was stained with blood and damaged, and we could imagine how intense the battle situation outside the city gate was.

Dongying's head coach, Nozawa, looked extremely ugly. He couldn't believe that his proud army was so vulnerable in front of the Ming army.

Seeing that Nozawa didn't speak, the man's tone became more and more urgent, "Please also ask the general to make a decision early, otherwise - our army is afraid that the whole army will be wiped out."

The people present looked at each other in dismay, and no one thought that the matter had become so serious.

Nozawa took a deep breath, and the veins on his forehead popped out, "How is General Kimura?"

"General, he has died heroically!"

In order to expand the territory of Goryeo, many of the troops led this time are famous generals from the East, who have fought for decades and made a lot of contributions, and there are only a handful of defeats in their hands.

However, it is such a heroic and skilled person who fell into the hands of the Ming army, and the halberd was broken here. It is conceivable that the blow to Dongying was huge.

Nozawa staggered back a few steps, if it wasn't for someone behind him, I'm afraid that he would have fallen on the chair by 14.

"What about the other generals?"

"I'm afraid they too..." The speaker didn't dare to look up to see Nozawa's expression, and buried his head deeply. He didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood what he meant.

"All of them died?"

Even if he didn't die, I'm afraid he would be captured alive by the Ming army, and the end would not be much better.

Nozawa almost gritted his teeth, and the expression on his face became extremely twisted and terrifying. Looking at it this way, several generals came, and now, he is the only empty coach left.

His eyes were dark, and he almost fainted. Not to mention how to go back and explain to the emperor, whether they can get out of Seoul alive is a question.

Nozawa held on to the handle next to him, barely calming down, "How long can we support it with the strength of our army now?"

A deadly silence spread, and everyone seemed to have seen the shadow of death hanging over them.

"Say!"

The man swallowed his saliva and said in an extremely dry voice: "According to the offensive of the Ming army, I am afraid that within a quarter of an hour, the city gate will be breached."

Nozawa's heart skipped a beat, and then he burst out laughing. The smile was full of sadness and panic, and it also carried a sense of exhaustion.

"It's ridiculous that I can't even support so many people in Dongying for a quarter of an hour!"

Originally, Nozawa had great ambitions, and he felt that although the territory of Dongying was small and not vast, it was not much worse than Daming.

If it weren't for environmental and territorial issues, it would not be impossible for Dongying to become a big country.

"God is so unfair! Given such good conditions for the Ming Dynasty, I have to live in that small place in Dongying. What's wrong with us occupying Korea just to obtain better resources and living space!"

If Zhu Gaoyu heard these words, he would only sigh at Dongying's brazenness. Whether it was a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, this group of people will always have the same virtue.

According to what he said, what was wrong with the Koryo Kingdom? For their own selfishness, they invaded other people's territory, and they thought they were doing the right thing, and gave their crimes a high-sounding reason, a typical double standard.

Up to now, it is useless to complain about others. After all, Nozawa is also a general with many years of combat experience, and he soon reluctantly made the decision to survive.

"At least it's not too late to withdraw now."

Nozawa decided to give up Seoul and lead the remaining soldiers to escape back to Dongying from the sea.

It will be a matter of time before Seoul is broken. If they don't retreat, I'm afraid they will stay together and be buried together. The defeat of the Dongying army is doomed. It is better to lead the rest of the troops back to Dongying while it can still be delayed for a while.

Ye Ze counted the remaining people, that is, some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, less than [-]. Compared with the mighty people when they came, their faces were full of ambition, as if Goryeo was already in their pockets.

At this moment, how embarrassing their retreat is, everyone is silent, and there is a look of gray defeat on their faces.

However, something even more frustrating is yet to come.

In the boundless ocean, there were already several warships waiting there, the flags on the deck were blown, and a big "Ming" character fluttered in the wind.

Shen Lian put down the telescope and looked at the Dongying warship that was getting closer and closer to them, smiling like a fox.

"Sure enough, as expected by His Highness, the people in Dongying knew that Seoul could not be held, so they abandoned the car to protect the commander, and wanted to escape back to Dongying by sea."

Without hesitation, he instructed the person beside him, "Open the cannon!"

It turned out that Zhu Gaoyu had already prepared and dispatched Shen Lian in advance. The Daming fleet on the coast had already been here. Although there were not many, their ships were improved Zheng He chartered ships, not to mention powerful artillery pieces. , enough for these Dongying people to drink a pot.

"Boom!"

The Dongying people didn't react yet, they only heard the sound of cannonballs, and a cannonball hit, and the hull was bumped so badly that everyone on the deck swayed.

"No, there is an ambush! There is a Ming army here!"

The remaining Dongying people panicked, and no one thought that the soldiers of Daming would be ambushed here in advance.

"Don't panic, fight back, fill up your ammunition and prepare to fight back."

Nozawa tried to stabilize the military, but the artillery of the Ming army was ferocious, and hit the ship with one shot.

"General, we don't have enough range! We can't hit them at all!"

Damn it, how did those Ming troops get on the boat, Ye Ze was so angry that he wanted to swear, so he had to give an order quickly: "Hurry back and turn around quickly, and stay away from their range."

However, the range of Ming's weapons was really far enough, and even so, they still hit the boat, and Nozawa couldn't help showing a desperate look.

Could it be that God wants to kill them.

They escaped but couldn't escape, they couldn't touch the frontal attack, they barely resisted the powerful artillery, and paid a heavy price. The Ming army finally fell into their range, and finally touched the Ming's warship, but found that it was solid. Terrible, their ammunition hit it, but left a few marks.

However, in a short period of time, Shen Lian and others defeated the battleships and supply ships left by the Dongying people on the sea. Nozawa had no way to escape, and was captured by Shen Lian and the others on the spot. .

Chapter 288

It is said that in the East Ying side, the court at these times is extraordinarily lively, and everyone has a bright smile on their faces. Because of the good news from the front one after another, the courtiers seem to be celebrating every day.

They were still immersed in the joy of conquering half of the kingdom of Goryeo. Unfortunately, the joy didn't last long when news of King Liang leading reinforcements came.

"Their King Han and King Zhao have already been captured. I heard that King Liang was only a teenager, so he dared to go to the battlefield. Isn't it a sacrifice to die?"

"But how did I hear that King Liang was so heroic at a young age, and that the Japanese pirates in the southeastern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty were all wiped out by himself."

"You also believe the rumors? It's said that three people become tigers. Who knows that there is no exaggeration. What kind of climate can a teenage yellow-haired child become? It's probably an exaggeration."

"Yes, General Nozawa has fought for many years and has a wealth of experience. There are other famous generals in this expedition. The defeats of these people do not exceed two hands together. Even King Zhao and King Han are behind bars. Especially him."

Regarding this matter, the ministers of Dongying talked a lot, but the attitude of most people was still the same, even the arrival of King Liang would not change the overall situation.

Even the Emperor Dongying was like that, as if the Kingdom of Korea had already been captured. Just as they were dreaming, an urgent news from the front completely shattered their dreams.
