Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 53: Urgent News from Northern Frontier, Pigeon Delivery

Amidst artillery bombardment.

This was the beginning of the Ming army's attack.

"attack."

Lan Yu drew his sword and pointed at Kaiyuan City.

Suddenly.

The siege vanguard troops, which had been prepared long ago, rushed towards Kaiyuan City one after another.

Suppress with artillery.

The shield troops are in front.

Then the archers advanced and released their arrows.

Siege battle.

A life-and-death battle.

This was also a siege battle that cost a lot of lives. In any era, once it involves siege and capture of cities, there will inevitably be huge casualties.

This time, Lan Yu led an army of 100,000 and defeated many Yuan troops around Kaiyuan City. It took half a month, and now he has officially started the attack on the main city of the Yuan court.

In front of the city.

The Ming army advanced.

Archers stretched their bows and shot arrows into the city, while Ming soldiers holding shields and holding ladders advanced quickly.

But in Kaiyuan City.

The Yuan army's resistance was also extremely strong.

On the tower!
Dozens of artillery pieces were also set up.

There are also countless archers.

Nahachu's trusted general, Halazhang, was supervising the battle on the city wall.

"fire."

"Fire arrows."

"Kill all these damn Ming troops."

"kill."

Harazhang shouted loudly.

The white-armored Yuan army inside the city shot arrows crazily at the people below.

The artillery also roared continuously.

The arrows are like rain.

Even if the Ming army in front of the city dispersed, they would still suffer tragic deaths when faced with the rain of arrows from the Yuan army on the city wall.

In a siege, the defenders naturally have an absolute geographical advantage.

For the Ming army!

The general gave the order and the attack continued.

but.

The Ming army did not use all its forces in this attack, and it seemed to be a tentative attack.

After continuing for a while.

Lan Yu raised his hand and said, "Sound the horn to withdraw the troops."

A shout.

The sound of the horn resounded throughout the Ming army.

Hear the sound.

The attacking Ming troops did not suffer too many casualties and evacuated in an orderly manner.

The Yuan army on the city wall also stopped shooting arrows after the Ming army left the range of their arrows.

"General."

"What exactly does the Ming army mean?"

"They've been feinting like this for five consecutive days. What's their real purpose?"

A deputy general looked at Halazhang, very puzzled.

"Do you know who is leading the troops this time?" Halazhang stared at the front of the city with a serious expression.

"The Grand General is Feng Sheng of the Ming Dynasty, and the Deputy Generals are Fu Youde and Lan Yu."

"The one who is at the gates of the city this time is Lan Yu." The deputy general said immediately.

"Since you know Lan Yu, you should know his ability to command troops."

"Among the Ming generals, he was extremely skilled in combat. He was adept at cavalry combat, infantry combat, and siege warfare."

"With such a powerful opponent, our Yuan Dynasty is in danger!" Harazhang sighed, and one could hear in his tone that he was deeply afraid of Lan Yu.

"The general may be worried."

"After all, our army has the advantage of defending the city."

"And there are 100,000 soldiers guarding the city."

"The Taiwei will allocate enough food and supplies later, which will definitely be enough to resist the Ming army." The deputy general said confidently.

"That's because you've never actually fought against the Ming army."

"Today's Ming army is not the weak Song Dynasty of the past. Their army has experienced countless wars and is battle-hardened. On the other hand, our Yuan Dynasty is suffering from fighting among various factions and its national strength has been greatly damaged. Alas." Halazhang sighed, also full of helplessness.

"Don't worry, General."

"Although the Yuan Dynasty is not as powerful as it used to be, it is not afraid of the Ming Dynasty."

"Didn't the Grand Marshal say that as long as we repel the Ming army, we will be able to launch a counterattack?"

"This time, our Yuan Dynasty will surely break through the Ming Dynasty's national borders and destroy the Ming Dynasty." The deputy general said somewhat fanatically.

Seeing the deputy general like this.

Halazhang didn't say anything, but his heart was extremely heavy.

The situation within the Yuan court. Perhaps many people could not see through it, but as a general second only to Nahachu in Liaodong, how could he not see through it?

……

Ming army camp!

Lan Yu commanded the department.

Main business location.

Feng Sheng sat upright in the main seat.

The generals were divided into two sides.

"Marquis Yongchang, what do you think?" Feng Sheng asked Lan Yu.

"After many days of testing, the Yuan army is still the same old two."

"From this temptation."

"Halazhang, an old acquaintance." Lan Yu sneered, with a sense of sarcasm towards the Yuan army, or perhaps arrogance.

"General Fu Youde has already sent his troops to Jinzhou."

"My Ming army will be divided into two groups. Whoever breaks the city first will be the first to achieve the credit."

"Marquis Yongchang, you'd better hold on tight." Feng Sheng smiled and said to Lan Yu.

Hear the sound!

Lan Yu clasped his fists and said confidently, "Please rest assured, General. Within half a month, I will be able to capture Kaiyuan City."

"General."

"I am willing to be the vanguard."

Chang Mao stood up and asked for orders.

"The last general also invites you to fight."

Hu Hai also immediately stood up and asked for orders.

The generals of Huaixi were all brave and good at fighting.

Naturally, no one wants to miss such an opportunity to gain military merit.

"Since Marquis Yongchang is leading the troops to attack the city this time, the specific dispatch will be mainly under the command of Marquis Yongchang." Feng Sheng directly handed the decision-making power of the vanguard to Lan Yu.

Suddenly!

Chang Mao and Hu Hai both looked at Lan Yu.

"The responsibility of the vanguard will be handed over to General Chang."

"Hu Hai is the second vanguard."

"If the vanguard's attack is unsuccessful, the second vanguard will take over immediately." Lan Yu said immediately.

Chang Mao heard this and immediately said, "I will obey your orders."

Hu Hai was slightly disappointed.

"Generals."

"The Emperor has decreed that the destruction of Nahachu is the most important task of this military operation."

"The Emperor has already gathered enough food and supplies for my army for half a year."

"This solves our army's worries."

"We must not let the emperor down on the battlefield." Feng Sheng said earnestly.

Although it comes from Huaixi.

However, among the Huaixi generals, Feng Sheng was not one of those who were called arrogant and fierce generals, but a calm and low-key general.

The fundamental reason why Zhu Yuanzhang sent Feng Sheng was to suppress the group of arrogant and powerful generals headed by Lan Yu.

"Please rest assured, General."

"I will never let the emperor down." Lan Yu said immediately.

This battle.

Lan Yu was also highly valued.

In Huaixi, few could compare with him in terms of military achievements, but his title was only a marquis, not a duke.

This also made Lan Yu dissatisfied with the current emperor and resentful in his heart.

This battle.

Lan Yu also wanted to clear his name, take credit for the victory of destroying Nahachu, and elevate his title to a higher level.

"kindness."

Seeing Lan Yu like this, Feng Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

As a general.

He only needs to coordinate this battle.

The two deputy generals, Lan Yu and Fu Youde, were both good at fighting, so there was no need for him to interfere too much in the offensive.

at this time!

"Report."

"Urgent news from the Northern Frontier."

"It was a letter sent back by carrier pigeon, addressed to the prefect Bu Wan."

A personal guard quickly ran into the tent, holding an unopened small bamboo tube in his hand, and reported loudly.

Hear this.

A hint of joy flashed in Feng Sheng's eyes.

He immediately looked at Bu Wan.
