The Most Powerful Man in the World

The Tatar army went deep into the Central Plains. If you really want to talk about it, it is also taking a great risk. Once the retreat is blocked, the army of [-] may be trapped in the Central Plains.

[The first update, [-] words are sent, continue to code words, ask for support. 】

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Therefore, as a retreat for the Tatars, Taiyuan Town fell into the hands of the Tatars. Even Ballsborough did not take Daming soldiers to heart, and never considered that Daming could stop them. He had [-] cavalry under his command, but he also left [-] troops in Taiyuan Town, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Xu Tianzuo excitedly said: "This is a very good strategy for the Chief Executive, once we retake Taiyuan Town and seal the retreat of the Tartar army, then the Tartar army will have no way to retreat, and will be trapped in the land of Gyeonggi, even if it is a little bit. All the time spent can grind these Tatars to death in the Central Plains."

Compared with entering Beijing after returning to Beijing, and then honestly staying in the city and defending the city, waiting for the Tatars to retreat without patience, Chu Yi proposed to retake Taiyuan Town, block the retreat of the Tatars, and put the Tatars back. The Tartars' idea of ​​catching everything in one fell swoop naturally made Xu Tianzuo and others even more excited.

Chu Yi smiled slightly and turned to look at the rolling river.

Two or three days will pass in a flash.

The army arrived in Tianjin for several miles. Tianjin is not too far from Beijing City. If you are fast, you can arrive in one day. Tianjin Port is the gateway to Beijing City. It is said that the Tatars should send people to occupy Tianjin Port and directly blockade the port. That's right.

However, the Tatar army was staring at the city of Beijing, and never thought of occupying Tianjin Port.

Therefore, Chu Yi and others successfully landed from Tianjin Port, but within half a day, tens of thousands of troops all landed, and their armour was neat, but because they came from the south of the Yangtze River, there were only a few hundred horses.

Even if they searched the whole of Tianjin, in the end they only gathered five hundred warhorses.

Watching Yu Huatian leave with a letter written by himself from the emperor Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi turned his eyes to the tens of thousands of troops behind him, and with a sigh, he saw the army rolling straight towards the land of Shanxi.

In Beijing, from the panic when the Tatar army arrived in the capital to the calm after a few days, the people of the capital are really very adaptable.

In just a few days, everyone had already adapted to the presence of the nearly [-] Tatar army outside the city, and the initial panic had already dissipated.

Some people have even gotten used to the roar of the artillery that must be heard every day on the city wall. If the artillery doesn't sound one day, everyone is really uncomfortable.

In a few days, although the Tatars said that they collected the surrounding trees, it took a day or two to build a simple tool for siege.

But they are a nation on horseback. It is their instinct to let them fight on horseback, but to let them dismount and carry the ladder to attack the city, to be honest, it is really difficult for them.

For a long time, the Tatars seldom chose to attack the city. In the border towns, the Tatars chose to avoid the city and loot the place.

But this time is different. The ambitious Ballsborough is not satisfied with entering the Central Plains and looting.

In the battle of Tumubao that year, the Oirat army was stunned to defeat the hundreds of thousands of Daming's army in the first battle, and even the sons of Daming were captured by it.Even if it wasn't for Yu Qian and other people to turn the tide, I'm afraid the city of Beijing would have been breached at that time.

Whenever he thinks about this, Ballsborough, who thinks that he has replaced Oara as the lord of the steppe, is naturally thinking of surpassing Oara and shaping the achievements of their Tatars.

What feat can be compared to breaking the city of Beijing?

Moreover, if the army of [-] invaders entered the Central Plains this time, if they just ran over to loot, wouldn't it be too much of a loss of the Tatar's prestige?

Hundreds of thousands of troops came here, but they ran over and looted like a group of robbers. Even Ballsborough felt that it was too shameful to think about it.

So even if he knew that the Tartars were not suitable for attacking the city, Ballsborough still chose to let his warriors dismount to attack the city.

In almost half a month, Ballsborough personally supervised the siege of a team of ten thousand people on several occasions. It is a pity that the city of Beijing is really high and thick, even if tens of thousands of troops are sent out to attack the city at one time. The city was still beaten back by the Daming soldiers guarding the city.

It was only half a month's effort, and nearly [-] troops were killed and wounded suddenly to more than [-] people. The originally high morale gradually faded away after repeated failures.

In the huge tent, Ballsborough slapped a girl in the face with a violent slap, and scolded: "Trash, you can't even make tea, do you want to burn this prince to death?"

Miao Yue fell to the ground, half of her face was red and swollen, and she sobbed in a pitiful voice.

I think half a month ago, her life could be said to be carefree, but in a blink of an eye, everything changed. Her father, who always treated her like a pearl in his palm, suddenly told her that he wanted to send her to the Prince of Tartar as a role model. Concubine.

Miao Yue was stunned at the time, she only felt like the sky was collapsing. No matter how much she cried, she was usually unmoved by his obedient father and sent it to Ballsborough.

Miao Yue felt that her nightmare had begun. She served Ballsborough that night and was almost tortured to death. Fortunately, after Ballsborough lost interest in him, she just kept her by his side to serve, like a maid.

The siege of the city in the past few days has not been smooth, and Ballsborough has long been suffocating in his heart and has no way to vent it. He can only say that Miao Yue is unlucky.

Listening to Miao Yue crying, Ballsborough became even more irritable and shouted, "Someone, drag this bitch out of me."

Several personal guards came in and dragged the pale Miao Yue out.

A personal guard walked in and said to Ballsborough, "His Royal Highness, Damon, Amu and several other adults are asking to see His Royal Highness."

Ballsborough nodded and said, "It is rumored that they are coming to see me!"

Soon, several strong men in leather robes walked into the tent, and saluted at Ballsborough: "I have seen Your Highness!"

Ballsborough glanced at a few people and said, "You guys came to see this prince, but what's the matter?"

A few people looked at each other and heard Amu step forward: "His Royal Highness, we are here to implore Your Highness to stop the siege of the city. If this continues, the warriors of the clan may not be able to bear it."

Damon and the others also said in unison: "I also ask Your Highness to take pity on the clansmen. After a few days of hard work, the clansmen suffered heavy casualties. I really can't hold it anymore!"

Annoyed, Ballsborough couldn't help staring fiercely at the several captains and said, "Are you trying to rebel?"

"Pfft!"

With a thud, I saw several ten thousand commanders kneeling on the ground, throwing their bodies to the ground: "I can't wait!"

Ballsborough stood up suddenly and roared: "Don't you want to break the city of Beijing and capture the Emperor of Ming Dynasty alive? My Tatar family is no worse than the Oara people. If the Oara can create a great victory for Tumu Fort, this prince will break the city of Beijing. , don't let the Oara people focus on beauty!"

If it was a few days ago, when they heard Ballsborough say this, Damon, Amu and the others would definitely be excited by Ballsborough's words, and then lead their men to go. Siege.

But it's only been half a month, they shed too much blood under this city wall, and killed and injured too many clansmen.

Although there are still more than [-] people, there are nearly [-] casualties, which is about [-]% of the casualties.

If it weren't for the fact that the siege party had an absolute advantage in his heart, such casualties would have meant that the army would have been on the verge of defeat.

Even so, after the successive siege battles, seeing the people around you die under the city wall one by one, and then going to collect the corpses in person, the psychological impact on these soldiers is too great. .

Many soldiers are now feeling war-weary in their hearts, otherwise, it would be impossible for the several ten thousand commanders to jointly plead with Ballsborough to stop at the risk of being suspicious of Ballsborough.

Looking at all the captains and tribal leaders who were bowing down in front of him, Ballsborough took a deep breath and said, "You all get up, I will consider your suggestions carefully."

If Ballsborough was really willing to give up, then he would not be so perfunctory, so Damon, Amu and others all sighed in their hearts when they heard Ballsborough say this.

However, they are not fools. The bottom line has already been reached when they jointly pleaded with Ballsborough to stop. If they continue to entangle, they are courting death.

I saw a cold light flashing in Ballsborough's eyes and said, "Come with me, I don't believe that this city of Beijing is really invincible!"

Amuji people sighed in their hearts, Ballsborough is going to attack the city again, but they don't know how many people will die in the future.

Oh oh oh!

The incomparably desolate horn sounded, and upon hearing the sound of the horn, the originally scattered Tatar army quickly gathered. Although it was still a bit messy, the army of nearly [-] people was standing on the city wall. Just looking at it makes me terrified.

Above the city wall, the whole person seemed to have lost a circle, but Zhang Mao, the British man who was full of energy, immediately climbed the city wall and looked at the Tatar army in the distance.

Han Kun, Lu Dazhu and others in armor also stood on the city wall with Zhang Mao, watching the gathering of the Tatar army, Han Kun couldn't help saying: "These Tatars really can't see the coffin and can't cry, it's been a few days. , I am afraid that the number of soldiers who died under this city is no less than [-], and they are still unwilling to give up."

Stroking his beard, Zhang Mao said slowly: "That's fine, the Tartars are courting death themselves, so let's take the opportunity to spend a little more energy on them."

Cheng Xiangwu patted the city wall and said with a bit of frustration, "I really want to rush out of the city and fight these Tartars."

Just as he was speaking, the horns of the Tatar army changed, and then there was a sound of shouting and killing, and the black Tartar soldiers got off their horses and carried the ladders to attack the city one by one. Go straight to Beijing city.

For this kind of scene, the soldiers defending the city are already familiar with it. After all, this kind of siege is staged almost every day, and it is not good if you are not familiar with it.

The corners of Han Kun's mouth twitched slightly and said, "Everyone, the Tartars have attacked the city. After this time, it's time to transfer the Tengxiang Four Guards battalion under this official to defend the city."

It turned out that after Han Kun, Lu Dazhu, and Cheng Xiangwu gathered many soldiers and horses in the city, they divided the soldiers and horses into three parts.

In this way, not only can the soldiers get plenty of time to rest to maintain enough energy, but also all the soldiers can be tempered in the battle of defending the city.

After all, the battles of offense and defense are the best training for many soldiers who have never seen blood.

With the city wall as their support, they only need to resist the Tartars on the city wall. Compared with the wilderness, the battle between the two armies is more adaptable.

In the past half a month, almost all of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city have had experience with the Tatars, and many of them have killed people for the first time, and have transitioned from a new recruit to a qualified soldier. .

Right now, these soldiers can only be said to be qualified soldiers. As for whether they can become elites, they cannot be achieved in a short time.

Without a few trials of blood and fire, how can one become an elite.

The sound of cannons and the cries of the soldiers to kill could be heard incessantly, and many soldiers picked up the logs and smashed them down at the string of Tartars above the ladder.

Accidentally, an arrow came flying, and was sunk between the necks of the soldier who leaned out.

Although it is said that the siege side has more casualties, it is obviously impossible for the defending side to have no casualties. It is nothing more than that the Tatars have far fewer casualties.

But even so, in the short half-month's kung fu, almost seven or eight thousand people were killed and wounded by the defenders of the city. Excluding the more than [-] injured, there were almost [-] soldiers who died in battle.

Compared with the nearly [-] casualties of the Tatars, as a defender of the city, the casualties of Daming soldiers were not too many.

Moreover, there were more than [-] defenders in the city, with less than [-] casualties, which was nothing at all, otherwise the city would not be so stable.The most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao did what he said, and the silver of Baihuahua was transported from the treasury, but anyone who killed the Tartars would get silver as a reward.

Nearly [-] Tatars were killed and wounded, and according to Zhu Houzhao's promise, nearly one million taels of silver were distributed in full.

As for the soldiers who died in battle, the deceased's pension was [-] taels of silver, and the wounded that Zhu Houzhao added later, according to the severity of the disability, ranged from [-] taels to [-] taels, adding up to almost [-] taels.

In a short period of about ten days, nearly two million taels of silver flowed out in a rush, and the effect of the silver was very obvious.

As long as the soldiers who defended the city fought bravely one by one, otherwise, even with the city as a barrier, it would not have been possible for the Tatars to suffer such heavy casualties.

[Two updates today, [-] words, ask for tickets, give rewards,]

Chapter 1 What a great director of Chu! 【[-] more】

Above the city wall, with shields and other shields blocking the arrows shot, the soldiers frantically resisted the siege momentum of the Tartars below.

Compared with the previous crazy offensive of the Tartars, the last two days, the Tartars have already lost that crazy energy in attacking the city, so the defenders seem to be much more relaxed, but no one dares to be careless. After all, if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Ballsborough, who was watching the battle from a distance, looked very ugly. Even he could see that the morale of his soldiers was not as good as before.

Although he said that the losses in the past few days have been much less, but Ballsborough is more clear in his heart. If it really goes on like this, he is afraid that he will return to the grassland in despair. , I'm afraid I can only think about it in a dream.

You must know that when he knocked into the Kou Zhongyuan before, he said in front of Dayan Khan that he would break down the city of Beijing and capture the son of tomorrow to show off his power.

Even in front of the tribal leaders and generals under his command, he has said this more than once, but the current situation makes him see no hope at all.

Looking at the soldiers, Ballsborough had the urge to kick those soldiers fiercely, each of them weak, could it be that they didn't have enough to eat.

Standing beside Ballsborough, Damon, Amu and other generals noticed that Ballsborough was not looking right, and they had a bit of a wry smile on their faces.

Why did their soldiers do this, they knew it in their hearts, and they knew it in their hearts when they wanted to come to Ballsborough, but Ballsborough was unwilling to accept the fact of failure for a while.

If he left in such a dismal manner, to be honest, not to mention that Ballsborough was unwilling, but they were also very unwilling.

It was a big surprise that they finally got to the city of Beijing. If they can really break through the city of Beijing in one go, then they will really be famous all over the world.

Therefore, the determination of Damon, Amu and others to retreat is not firm. If it is not so, if these tribal leaders unite to put pressure on Ballsborough, then even if Ballsborough is unwilling, he also had to choose to retreat.

At this moment, a sentry rushed over, bowed down in front of Ballsborough and said to Ballsborough, "Your Highness, another Ming reinforcement army appeared, and there are about four or five thousand people. It has now entered Beijing City from the West Gate!"

Ballsborough couldn't help frowning, and snorted coldly: "It's reinforcements again. In just a few days, there have been almost [-] reinforcements in Beijing."

With a light cough, Damon took a step forward and said slowly, "Your Highness, the son of tomorrow will definitely summon the King of Soldiers and Horses. If this goes on, the number of soldiers and horses on the side of Damon will only increase. If you can't wait to retire early..."
