First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 280

Hearing the explosion suddenly, Zhang Tianqi was stunned.

Could it be that something happened to the place where the gunpowder was stored? After all, Zhu Jiajun could not have come so quickly. But things always go in the worst direction.

It was indeed Zhu Jiajun who came, and then the news came that the water gate exploded!

how come?

Zhang Tianqi went crazy, "I clearly told you to seal the water gate and block it with iron cables, why didn't you follow the order?"

Zhang Tianqi questioned his subordinates angrily, and the gang of subordinates look at me, I look at you, and finally someone spoke with courage, "Maybe there is not enough manpower, there is no time!"

"Pooh!"

Zhang Tianqi spat fiercely, "When someone kills you and chops off your heads, it will be too late!"

He drew out his saber angrily, and everyone was startled. Could it be that he still wanted to kill someone?

We are all servants of King Cheng. Even if we want to kill people, we have to listen to King Cheng.

Zhang Tianqi glared at this group of people, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only angrily say: "Don't fight the enemy with me!"

After a little hesitation, everyone finally followed Zhang Tianqi and killed him.

In fact, frankly speaking, Zhang Tianqi's arrangement is not a problem. He thought of the hidden dangers of Watergate, but he also arranged the manpower. But Zhang Shicheng's subordinates are like this, or in other words, except for the Zhu family army, few soldiers and horses can resolutely execute orders, and everything must be discounted.

Deductions from military salaries, deductions from military rations, and general empty salaries... These things are simply not something that Zhang Tianqi can solve by a general.

Since Zhang Shicheng remained intact and accepted many Yuan troops, it became like this. And under Zhang Shicheng's painstaking management, it has intensified...

Of course, if Zhu Jiajun hadn't come so quickly, give Zhang Tianqi some time, and he might make up for it in just a day or two. .

Make Huzhou an impregnable wall, which is difficult to conquer.

But it happened to meet Xu Da.

This man is well aware of the fact that soldiers are expensive and fast, and the Zhu family's army also has the conditions to realize the rapidity of soldiers.

The troops dispatched from Jinling, arrived in Liyang ahead of schedule, and then moved to Changxing. The journey was smooth, and preparations were made before the gauntlet was issued.

If it was just Xu Da's commander-in-chief, maybe he would, like Zhang Tianqi, give the order, but if the execution was discounted, it would become France and Vietnam, and they would become a pair of excellent opponents.

It is a pity that Zhang Tianqi became French, but Li Wenzhong was not Vietnamese.

He caught the fighter, made a decisive move, was not afraid, and took the lead in the charge. At a young age, he showed the energy of the brave champion and the three armies, and the newborn calf overturned the tiger.

This time it was incredible.

"Good job!"

Xu Da was marching, and when he got the news of Li Wenzhong, he couldn't help but wave his fist. He was so happy.

He knew for a long time that the main target of this battle was Hangzhou, and if he wanted to break through Hangzhou, he had to take Huzhou. His original plan was to besiege with absolute force.

No one expected that a young man would seize the fleeting opportunity and take advantage of the chaos to enter Huzhou.

If this is missed, it will be ashamed to death!

"Deng Youde, Zhou Dexing, you immediately lead the two battalions and go up as fast as you can!"

"As ordered!"

Both of them also understood that Li Wenzhong had not many troops and horses, and if he let them fight, or simply annihilate them, everything would be over.

Deng Youde decisively ordered to give up all unnecessary things, and do not bring any dry food.

Enter Huzhou City, everyone will have breakfast together!

Zhou Dexing did not give in too much. The two teams of soldiers and horses ordered a rapid march to support Li Wenzhong at the fastest speed.

Xu Da did not hesitate to send these two people out, and called Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng again, so that these two people would also make a detour to the east and south of Huzhou at the fastest speed, especially to intercept the reinforcements from Hangzhou.

Four generals were dispatched in a row, and Xu Da himself led the main force to attack Huzhou.

These arrangements of Xu Da were recorded by special personnel and sent to Zhu Yuanzhang immediately.

In Zhu Jiajun, generals have the right to make decisions on the spot, but after making a decision, they must report it immediately, and let the coach know the intention, even if it is Lao Zhu's confidant.

It is the pigeons raised by Xuexue who are responsible for the task of delivering letters.

I have to say, the usefulness of these wizards is really not small.

Zhang Ximeng was overjoyed immediately after receiving the news from the pigeon.

Li Wenzhong, this kid really has two strokes.

"Congratulations, lord, double happiness is coming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows and was greatly comforted, "This nephew of ours really has two strokes. Thanks to Mr.'s good teaching!"

Zhang Ximeng wanted to say that even without him, Li Wenzhong was still a general, but Lao Zhu put gold on his face, and it was hard to refuse. And Li Wenzhong did a really good job.

"After winning Huzhou, there is only one Jiaxing House left to connect the two ends between Suzhou and Hangzhou. Zhang Shicheng's life will be difficult." Zhang Ximeng said with a smile.

At this time, Zhu Sheng thought of something, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "High-ranking, it seems that there is not much difference between taking Suzhou and taking Hangzhou. Do you want to go straight to the old nest and destroy Zhang Shicheng?"

Zhu Sheng made a suggestion. Except for Zhang Ximeng, the rest of the civil servants and generals were actually a little moved.

From the start of the war to the present, Zhang Shicheng's department has been very hip, and there has not been much progress compared to before. If you can attack Suzhou, it seems to be much better than attacking Hangzhou!

The big guy set his sights on Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng. After all, these two people have the power to decide the strategy.

Surprisingly, Zhang Ximeng didn't say anything, just lowered his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Fenglin, Suzhou is Zhang Shicheng's fundamental place, if you attack rashly, Hangzhou, Songjiang, and even the naval forces and troops of Huaidong will rescue Suzhou at all costs. Zhang Shicheng is good at guarding, and we may not be able to get a good deal. If we attack Hangzhou, according to Zhang Shicheng's temperament of watching the old dog, he will definitely be reluctant to leave the city, and he can only watch Hangzhou fall into our hands. "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Ximeng again and said with a smile, "Mr. advocates attacking Hangzhou first, is that what Bacheng thinks?"

Zhang Ximeng hurriedly said, "My lord Shengming, I just think it's easier and harder, I don't think so much."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly, and then said to Zhu Sheng: "Although the battlefield needs to adapt to changes and seize opportunities. But once the overall strategy is determined, don't be easily shaken. You need to eat every bite of rice, and the city needs to be beaten one by one. Hold steady, and don't mess around. ."

Hearing this, Zhu Sheng nodded again and again in admiration.

In fact, if you ask yourself, it's not that Zhu Sheng can't think of this, but he is indeed old. Elsewhere, the elderly are calm and the young are impulsive.

When they arrived at Zhu Jiajun's place, many elderly people were unwilling to waste time, hoping to sweep the world as soon as possible.

Fortunately, regardless of whether Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhang Ximeng, they can still stabilize.

Lao Zhu has his account, and Zhang Ximeng also has his account... After all, Zhang Shicheng has the support of many gentry, and although he can despise them strategically, since ancient times, the landlord's armed forces have been quite tenacious, and it is not that they will collapse at a touch.

Therefore, in the battle with Zhang Shicheng, we must be patient, and we must fully mobilize the strength of the people.

The strategy remained the same, Zhu Yuanzhang led the civil and military forces, and still went forward as a supervisor with peace of mind... But Li Wenzhong, after the breakthrough, fell into a hard battle.

He was able to successfully break through the water gate. First, he relied on the excellent quality of the Zhu family army, his advance was fast, and he dared to fight and fight; second, he seized the loopholes of the Huzhou defenders, started from the water gate, and succeeded easily.

But in addition to this, there is another point that is easily overlooked, and that is the advancement of technology. Zhang Ximeng noticed firearms very early, but I'm sorry, he really didn't have the ability to quickly create artillery and conquer the world, he could only improve it little by little.

When attacking Hongdu, Zhu's army's explosives were quite impressive.

In conclusion after the war, Zhu Jiajun has raised a new level in the use of gunpowder, and has figured out a means of blasting the city wall with only gunpowder.

Although this is not a dimensionality reduction blow, it is also a technology generation gap.

But as they entered the city and the two sides were close to each other, Li Wenzhong didn't have much choice but to fight!

This young man didn't know yet, but he was facing a famous general who carried a pole, followed Zhang Shicheng to raise troops, killed the Mongolian general, stationed in Gaoyou, and crossed the river to attack the city.

The opponent was older than him, had more experience than him, and had twenty or thirty times the strength of his troops.

Li Wenzhong couldn't even care about this, or he thought flawlessly at all, and he could only fight with love. On one side are the pioneer warriors of the Zhu Family Army who are dedicated to making meritorious deeds and want to enter the city.

On one side are the elite men who were born salt workers.

Who is willing to take a step back easily, the battle between the two sides is fierce, blood is flying, people are injured and fall down every moment, and their lives are worthless at this moment.

The blood of both sides flowed into the moat, and the river changed its color.

The two sides are constantly consuming, but Zhang Tianqi's side has a steady stream of people who are pouring into it~www.mtlnovel.com~ It seems that it can't be killed. On Li Wenzhong's side, the reduction was visible to the naked eye.

There were too many enemies, and they poured in from all directions, like a turbid current of the Yellow River, overwhelming the mountains and the sea, rushing towards the thin embankment formed by the Zhu Family Army.

In the face of pressure, some people kept falling off the moat, and some people were injured and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

The collapse seems to be in the next second, but Zhu Jiajun finally held on!

"Brothers, we can't lose! The elders in my hometown are looking forward to it!"

A young soldier actually took the gunpowder used to bomb the city in his arms and rushed into the enemy... After a loud bang, smoke filled the air and screams.

Zhang Tianqi's subordinates were stunned, they didn't care about life and death, but they were terrified in the face of this kind of soldier who would rather die together than win.

What is it for?

Did Zhu Yuanzhang feed you Ecstasy?

Zhang Tianqi also admitted that he was afraid.

But soon he felt ashamed again... He resisted Yuan Ting with a pole, where did his courage go?

How many people are left in Zhu Jiajun?

Even if they are all life-threatening lunatics, they can be piled to death!

"kill!"

Zhang Tianqi reorganized his troops and pounced on Li Wenzhong's remnants... And at this moment, behind Li Wenzhong, the battle drum of the Zhu family's army sounded.

The reinforcements have arrived!

At this moment, Li Wenzhong almost cried, and after that, a power surged out of his exhausted body.

"Kill the enemy, take revenge!"

Li Wenzhong roared loudly and launched a counter-attack. Deng Youde's troops arrived first, and before they had time to repair, they resolutely joined the siege battle, and then Zhou Dexing's troops also came... Huzhou City, broken!
