Daming heir

Chapter 578
Between the mountains and ravines of eastern Jin Dynasty.

One after another, the Ming Dynasty dragon flag, the Yanwang flag, and the flags of the military camps fluttered in the wind.

Just a face-to-face.

The official road between the mountains and gullies is covered with the corpses of Japanese pirates who originally wanted to rush to Houweize Pass to control the official road east of Shanxi.

Zhu Di and Zhang Zhiyuan led a total of nearly [-] troops.

In the east of Shanxi where the mountains are criss-crossed and the official roads can only be sandwiched between the valleys, the army only used the vanguard battalion, and even the headquarters of the Chinese army was not affected, and nearly [-] rebellious Japanese thieves were eliminated.

Zhu Di killed three pirates himself today, and then retreated out of boredom.

Facing this gang of pirates who didn't even have armor and only had a few spears in their hands, it was really hard for him to raise his fighting spirit.

In addition, for those pirates who should have been digging coal, but suddenly rebelled, their military achievements should be discounted, so it is better to let the soldiers under their command kill more.

Zhu Di led his own soldiers and stood on a high hill next to the official road, watching Zhang Zhiyuan lead his men to chase after those Japanese thieves who wanted to retreat for interrogation.

at the end of the line of sight.

Zhang Zhiyuan rode a jet-black war horse, holding a fine steel spear with both hands, with fluttering red tassels, and opened and closed his moves, killing cleanly.

It's just a cup of tea.

The Japanese thieves who tried to escape in the distance were all killed.

Zhu Di's eyes were piercing, and he couldn't hide the love in his heart: "Zhiyuan is really majestic!"

The little banner officer who was guarding Zhu Di smiled on his side.

They are so unabashed towards His Highness King Yan, and they always have to express the most direct love for Commander Zhang, and they have long been used to it.

The Xiaoqi officer even echoed: "Commander Zhang is famous as a little killer, and he is unparalleled in bravery. Everyone in the army admires him."

Zhu Di hummed, his face was full of joy, and he looked at Zhang Zhiyuan who had led his troops back, and he was even more joyful: "You should admire Zhiyuan a lot, and learn from him if you have the opportunity. You just can't beat him. The title of Little Killing God will also bring a few more heroes under this throne."

Invisibly, Zhang Zhiyuan has become the Peking Dusi and a benchmark figure under King Yan.

The little flag official was smiling, but it was a little difficult to answer the question.

Several times throughout the capital of Beiping, and even the entire Nine Sides.

But not everyone can be like Zhang Zhiyuan, who dares to travel hundreds of miles outside the pass with a hundred and ten people.

Not to mention he didn't dare to imitate him. With more than a thousand people, he dared to chase the big tribes of the Tatar tribe and expel them for thousands of miles.

Brave and not afraid of death.

Everyone in the entire Yanwang Mansion and Beiping was in awe of Zhang Zhiyuan's fearlessness.

This is not something you can learn if you want to.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Zhiyuan, who came to his side after the battle, and the love in his eyes became more and more intense: "He kills the god, and my blessed general!"

At this time, Zhang Zhiyuan was already holding a long gun, and drove to Zhu Di on horseback.

The long spear was stood heavily on the ground by him, and he only held the gun barrel with one hand, and he stood up and fell to the ground.

Standing on the ground, Zhang Zhiyuan was still holding a long gun and landed on one knee.

"My lord, all the Japanese thieves here have been punished. I will learn from the thieves that the four cities of Shouyang, Mengxian, Leping, and Pingdingzhou in the east of Taiyuan Prefecture have been stolen by the thieves. Please show me, the soldiers of our army How does Madang respond.”

With a smile on his face, Zhu Di waved his hand and dismounted.

He walked up to Zhang Zhiyuan, bent over, stretched out his hands to support Zhang Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, don't worry, I've been tired after killing for a while, get up quickly."

King Yan only loves Commander Zhang.

Seeing Zhu Di's behavior, the soldiers of the two people around him were already used to it, and their hearts were inexplicably complicated.

Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and stood up: "I'm not tired at the end, but I'm just stretching my muscles."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Zhiyuan is so great!"

After shouting, he even looked at the people around him.

The soldiers of the two people immediately echoed: "Commander Zhang is great."

Zhang Zhiyuan's face was solemn, and he took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to relieve the difficulties of the four cities in eastern Shanxi."

Zhu Di nodded.

This is a top priority right now.

Just as he was thinking about what to do next.

Zhang Zhiyuan gave orders to the soldiers around him: "Decree the heavy camp, find a place to dig a pit, collect the corpses of the pirates and throw them in the pit, burn them with fire oil, extinguish the fire and bury them in the ground, and trample the horses down."

This is what outsiders like to do most.

In order to prevent the occurrence of disease.

If we simplify it, it is directly to let the people who abandoned their weapons and surrendered dig a pit by themselves, then bury it in the pit, and use the horse to step down.

The soldier glanced at the battlefield in front of him.

It seems that there are still many Japanese pirates who are not completely dead.

However, the people of Ming Dynasty did not care about a group of Japanese who had their country wiped out and their clans exterminated.

The soldiers received the order and went to the baggage camp to deliver the order.

At this time, Zhu Di had already opened his mouth and said: "At the moment, I don't know what the situation in Taiyuan City is, and what is going on with Brother Xi and the others..."

Zhang Zhiyuan frowned slightly, and said softly: "The general thought that Taiyuan City was safe and sound. It must be the best preparation for His Royal Highness Taisun to visit Taiyuan in person.

It is impossible to say that His Highness Taisun has already learned that the four cities in eastern Shanxi have been stolen by thieves, and is mobilizing troops to suppress it. "

Zhu Di pondered for a while, and felt that this possibility might be the greatest.

"If this is the case, our department should cooperate well and attack the four cities in eastern Jin that were stolen by Japanese thieves from both sides."

Zhang Zhiyuan shouted: "Get Kanyu."

After a while, the official account of Taiyuan Prefecture was brought in and spread out in front of Zhu Di and Zhang Zhiyuan.

Zhang Zhiyuan pointed to the four cities in eastern Shanxi occupied by Japanese bandits, and then clicked on the current location of the headquarters and Taiyuan City.

"My lord, our department and Taiyuan City are in a pinch attack situation. If we want to cooperate with Taiyuan City, it is best to conquer Pingding Prefecture first. Then get in touch with Taiyuan side, or go south to Leping, or north to Meng County. As for Shouyang City, Taiyuan City will definitely take it first."

Zhu Di withdrew his gaze from Kanyu, looked up at Zhang Zhiyuan in front of him, with a determined smile on his face.

"Zhiyuan, it's your credit for restoring the city."

Zhang Zhiyuan raised his head, his face a little confused: "Your Majesty?"

Zhu Di frowned: "Oh! I am saying that you have to hurry up to take back the city!"

"what……"

Zhang Zhiyuan was a little dumbfounded.

Where does this come from?

Zhu Di didn't give him any more thinking, and he waved his arms: "Order, order Qiu Fu to lead the troops of the thousand households in the headquarters, detour to Pingdingzhou and Shouyang City, and go to Taiyuan City to inquire about the situation."

The soldiers behind Zhu Di immediately got the order and rode towards the central army.

And Qiu Fu, who was named by Zhu Di, is still an official of a thousand households under the Beiping Metropolitan Division.

After he finished arranging to inquire about news in the direction of Taiyuan City.

Zhu Di continued to look at Zhang Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan obeys the order!"

Zhang Zhiyuan immediately clasped his fists and landed on one knee.

"The last will obey!"

Zhu Di put his hands on his hips and said in a vibrating voice: "You lead the vanguard battalion and the Chinese horse, infantry, and bow battalions. This king will give you a gun camp, a total of ten thousand people. First capture Pingding Prefecture, and then go south to Leping to retake the city for the court. This king Personally lead the rest of the Chinese army and the rear barracks, and fight for Zhiyuan!"

Even if it is lifted, Zhiyuan must also be lifted into the Daming title.

Zhu Di's eyes were bright, looking at Zhang Zhiyuan who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes were full of expectation.

Zhang Zhiyuan was a little surprised for a moment.

I was used to being a vanguard general in Peiping Dusi and Prince Yan's Mansion.

However, King Yan actually handed over the firecracker to himself, which surprised him.

You must know that there are not many firearms stations in the entire capital of Beiping.

This time I only brought one fire gun.

In addition to the muskets, there are ten artillery pieces.

This is a siege weapon.

Generally speaking, the king of Yan has to take charge of it.

With his hands on his hips, Zhu Di felt that what he just said was inappropriate, so he said again: "Then send an order to the supply battalion to separate one to transport gunpowder and shells, and separate the horses to transport artillery for Zhiyuan!"

Under the artillery fire, I don't believe that the Japanese bandits who dig coal and eat dirt can still defend the Ming Dynasty's city.

Zhu Di squinted his eyes, as if he had seen Zhang Zhiyuan under his command, and was promoted to Duke of Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Zhiyuan had mixed feelings in his heart, but he could only clenched his fists.

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhu Di stepped forward, lifted Zhang Zhiyuan up again, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up! Take Pingdingzhou City first, and then Leping City. With the merits of recovering the two cities, even if you can't be knighted, at least it will allow you to go further." up a liter.

When you attack Leping, the king will lead people to Meng County in the north, first surround Meng County, wait for you to capture Leping and rush over, and then take Meng County.

In this way, you will have the power to restore the three cities in this encounter.

As for Shouyang City, if Taiyuan is unharmed, I am afraid it will be taken back by the people from Brother Xie's side.

So, Zhiyuan, you must be quick.And pay attention to your own safety, this is the first class, and the credit is second. "

Zhu Di can be said to be a follow-up guide and a sincere exhorter.

Zhang Zhiyuan lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "The last general will not disgrace his fate!"

With a smile on Zhu Di's face, he reached out and patted Zhang Zhiyuan's shoulder, then withdrew his hands and hugged each other: "Go, go."

Zhang Zhiyuan took a few steps back with his fists in hand, then turned around and mounted his horse.

"Send the order to calm down the direction of the state!"

On the horse's back, Zhang Zhiyuan tilted his spear and let out a low shout.

The soldiers immediately drove to the barracks to distribute military orders.

till night.

Zhang Zhiyuan's command of Yanwang Mansion and Beiping Capital Division's soldiers and horses has already approached the city of Dingzhou.

On the top of the city, the flag of the Ming Dynasty has been taken down, and several flags with unknown patterns are hanging on the city wall.

The Ming army arrived, and the pirates occupying Pingding Prefecture had already discovered it, closed the city gate, and mounted the city wall with soldiers and horses.

There are beacon fires and smoke, and the city is brightly lit.

in the dark.

Zhang Zhiyuan reined in his horse and stood quietly watching the city in front of him, waiting for the return of the scouts in the army.

a little while.

After being thrown out earlier, the scouts who went around Pingding City to investigate the situation rushed back one after another.

"Reporting to the general, there are no Japanese bandits ambush around Pingding City."

"The last general waited to question the surviving people outside the city, and said that the Japanese pirates had left the mining area and captured the city. When they heard that our troops were coming, they all returned to the city, coerced the people in the city to demolish their houses, and defended the city for them."

Zhang Zhiyuan's face gradually became gloomy: "The thieves are hateful! You actually asked me to defend the city against the common people!"

The deputy general at the side also had a serious face, and said in a low voice: "General, there must be civilians on the top of the city surrounded by bandits. If artillery is used, the civilians may be injured..."

Originally, everyone thought that even if the artillery can't open the city gate after a few rounds, they can still suppress the bandit army on the top of the city, and then some soldiers will go up to the city and take it.

But now there are still people of Daming on the top of the city, coerced by the bandit army and helping to defend the city together.

Artillery has no eyes.

Once the gun goes down, the bandit army is dead, and the people of Daming will die too.

Anger appeared in Zhang Zhiyuan's eyes: "In this battle, I will personally lead my brothers and sisters to attack the city! When the city breaks down, no thief will be left in the city, no matter whether they are alive or dead, and they will all be caught! This order is applicable to all Japanese thieves I encounter!"

Zhang Zhiyuan looked angrily at the crowded Pingding City under the night.

"The last general takes orders!"

Beside Zhang Zhiyuan, a group of generals in the army are all against the same enemy.

The military order was quickly conveyed to the entire army.

Everyone is getting ready.

Bang bang bang.

In the night, the Ming army pacified the city and began to beat the war drums.

The sword and shield soldiers are at the forefront, and the bow and crossbow battalion enters the range and stops to draw their bows and arrows.

The officers and soldiers of the infantry battalion carried the ladders between the arrays. They waited for the sword and shield soldiers to rush to the bottom of the city, and then put the ladders up on the city wall.

"Bright knife!"

Zhang Zhiyuan rode his horse, arrived at the front of the formation, put down his visor, and drew out the long knife on his waist.

"Bright knife."

Under the light of the fire at the top of the city, the Ming soldiers under the city drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another.

Woo woo woo.

The horn sounded.

The call to attack was sounded.

"Siege!"

Give a siege order.

In an instant, the overwhelming arrow feathers rose from the ground and shot towards the top of the city.

The two sides started fighting.

As time progressed, the Ming army outside the city was getting closer and closer to the city wall.

The battle became more and more intense.

However, the Japanese pirates on the city wall were unable to organize an effective defense due to the lack of ordnance.

Even the bows and crossbows on the top of the city seemed stretched.

Zhang Zhiyuan led his soldiers and rushed to the front on horseback.

In the dark night, Zhang Zhiyuan swung his knife and cut off a few arrow feathers that were aimed at him, got off his horse, and rushed forward a certain distance quickly with his strength.

"Shout out!"

In front of Zhang Zhiyuan's horizontal saber, he continued to chop off the scattered arrow feathers from the top of the city.

The sword and shield soldiers, who were gradually increasing their speed, began to shout in unison at the top of the city.

"The Ming army has arrived!"

"The Ming army has arrived!"

This is shouting to the people on the city wall.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the ladder behind him being pushed down on the city wall, and shouted loudly: "The King Yan's department comes to rescue the fathers and fellow villagers of Pingding City!"

After shouting, Zhang Zhiyuan had already stepped on the ladder.

Looking up, Zhang Zhiyuan saw a commoner holding a rolling stone high in both hands, staring at him with nervousness on his face.

Zhang Zhiyuan's face was calm, he held the knife in one hand, and continued to climb up the ladder with the other.

Next to the common people, there was a Japanese man holding a long knife, yelling something at the common people holding rolling stones.

The people gritted their teeth and closed their eyes, and threw the rolling stones in their hands down the city wall.

Zhang Zhiyuan had a smile on his face.

I saw the rolling stone sticking to my ear, and fell to the ground under the city wall.

"Climb to the city!"

"If you don't get rid of Japanese pirates, you won't seal the sword!"

Zhang Zhiyuan roared and jumped onto the top of the wall.

The common people who threw the rolling stone to the side were crouching under the walls of the city wall with their heads in their arms.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the ladders erected on both sides of the city wall. Soldiers had already jumped onto the city wall and immediately slashed at the Japanese bandits in front of them with their swords.
