Start by saving Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang honors me as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Morning came quickly.

Zhu Di and others in Taiyuan Prefecture also smelled the unusual smell in the air.

"The Wala soldiers are gathering! There are about 290,000 of them..."

Xu Da frowned as he listened to the scout's report. While he ordered the army to gather urgently and prepare for battle, he was also thinking about what to do next!

Attack or defend!

This is a very critical issue!

However, before he could think it over, a soldier rushed in like a madman, tumbling and crawling, shouting in fear: "General, the Wala are attacking the city, and the gate is about to be breached!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Dateng stood up suddenly, looking at the man with a face full of shock, and said in horror: "What did you say? The city gate is about to be broken? How is this possible..."

Didn’t the army just assemble? Even if they started fighting right after assembling, the city wouldn’t be broken in less than a quarter of an hour!

The fighting power of Wala is strong, but it shouldn’t be so strong!

The soldier said with a face almost full of sorrow, "It's absolutely true, General! Jin Mumu led a small group and took advantage of the momentum of the Wala army's gathering to sneak in. By the time we discovered them, some of them had already climbed onto the city wall!"

"hateful!"

"That's fucking despicable!"

Xu Da roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot.

Since Lin An left, they were practically being led by the nose by the Wala soldiers. Then, he put on his armor, took up his spear, and shouted, "Follow me to fight the enemy!"

After taking only two steps, he ran into Zhu Di, who also had a serious expression on his face.

Zhu Di came over quickly and whispered, "Hold on for one day. No matter what, you must hold on for one day! I've already contacted the Marquis of Taiping. Reinforcements will arrive within a day..."

Xu Da had never fought such a frustrating battle before, and he felt like crying but had no tears.

……

At this moment, in Taiyuan City, Yesudier watched the fighting on the city wall, nodded with great satisfaction, and said approvingly:

"As expected of a general I carefully trained, he has already reached the city wall in less than a quarter of an hour! Come on! Pass on my order! All forces, attack the city!"

"As long as we capture Taiyuan City, we, the Wala, will have a stronghold in the Central Plains. Then, the vast Central Plains will have a place for us to stay!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Three consecutive sounds made the Wala soldiers, who were already as fierce as tigers and wolves, even more aggressive!

Hundreds of thousands of troops came like a tide, which made people's scalp tingle!

The Oirat were not good at attacking cities. After all, their most powerful weapon was their highly mobile cavalry, which was ineffective when attacking cities. So the clever Yesüdiel sent Jinmumu to the Central Plains to serve as a staff member in the Ming army, and he began to slowly understand and become familiar with the situation.

Here we have to explain the army’s unique garrison system.

The garrisons were spread all over the country. When there was a war, they were soldiers dispatched by the Ministry of War. When there was nothing to do, they returned to the garrisons. It was a military system that combined soldiers with farming and garrisoning!

This is why, even though Jin Mumu does not look like a Central Plains person, he can still join the army!

As soon as the war started, it immediately entered a white-hot stage!

In order to fight for the city wall, a fierce battle broke out. Corpses were thrown down from the city wall every moment, which was also a way to maintain dynamic balance!

"For the Ming Dynasty! Brothers! Kill!"

Xu Da suddenly drew his sword, roared, and rushed to the city wall at the head of his men to fight with the enemy!

The air was filled with blood and mist. Hundreds of thousands of people were fighting over a city wall. It was so brutal that in the end, the corpses were almost piled up on the city wall, making it impossible to move. People even had to step on the corpses to fight. It was shocking and it was like purgatory!

An hour passed, the city gate was broken, and the Ming army had no choice but to retreat into the city to delay time and engage in street fighting!

Yesüder also discovered the Ming army's intention and ordered hundreds of thousands of troops to rush in, with cavalry as the vanguard, and set fire to the city.

You know, Taiyuan City had been massacred once before, so the city was already in ruins. Now it was burned down again, leaving it completely bare without any shelter!

The Ming army led by Zhu Di and Xu Da was defeated!

Xu Da's face was covered in blood. He spat on the ground and said viciously, "How many of us are left now?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said weakly, "I don't know. The team has been dispersed. We only have a few hundred people left... Alas! The old man was really wrong this time!"

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, Zhu Di no longer had much strength. After he finished speaking, he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, but he didn't know when the blood had splashed on it!

The old man here is referring to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this moment, facing such an adverse situation, he dared not imagine what kind of storm would be set off once the news of defeat reached Nanjing City. At least half of the reason for the failure of this war was due to Zhu Yuanzhang!

Even Zhu Di couldn't help but feel a little more resentful.

Lin An's departure caused the army to become unstable and morale to decline. In addition, they were not at an advantage against the Wala army to begin with, and now they were completely defeated.

Hearing this, Xu Da just shook his head helplessly.

You should at least wait for the donkey to finish grinding before killing him...

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Da and then said, "If we lose the battle, we may not go back..."

Xu Da raised his head to the sky and gave a bitter laugh. "Even if I could go back, I wouldn't be able to do it. My lifelong reputation is ruined in an instant!"

Da da da--

At this moment, someone suddenly came on horseback.

Xu Da suddenly became nervous, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Be on guard!"

slam-la-

The moment the sound fell, countless Ming soldiers stood up, drew their sharp weapons, and stood alert in the direction of the horse's hoof sound!

"Great joy!"

"What a joy!"

"The Wala were defeated! We won!"

The man shouted, his voice emanating from far away, but the crowd was puzzled. Weren't they at a complete disadvantage before? How could they suddenly win?

Just when everyone was puzzled, the soldier came up, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said happily: "Two generals, Lord Lin An has brought more than 200,000 troops!"

"As soon as we arrived at the battlefront, the Marquis brought out the imperial edict from the Northern Yuan Emperor, stating that those who rebelled would be killed, but those who surrendered would not be killed. Some of the men wavered, but then, seeing the Yuan army's momentum, the rest couldn't hold on and surrendered!"

"The Yuan army has already captured Yesudi'er, Jinmumu, and other high-ranking Oirat generals. We... have won!"

The man spoke very excitedly, and at the end, he suddenly gathered his strength and roared, as if he wanted to roar out all the emotions that had been pent up in the past few days.
