Chapter 27 Battle of Pingjiang
At night, in the tent of the Yuan army commander, Li Siqi, the deputy commander, stared at the map and shook his head and sighed. He thought feigning an attack would be an easy job, but he didn't expect that the Jiangnan rebels were so staunch, rushing out one by one desperately.In Xu Shouhui's department, the Four King Kongs took turns to attack, broke through the encirclement several times, and almost turned the breakout battle into an annihilation battle.Han Shantong and Liu Futong were not much better, each of them was stronger than the other, even the Huotou army who was cooking in the kitchen could tear apart Yuan soldiers with their bare hands.It seems that Haozhou City is quieter, and there is not much noise.How did the promised gentle Jiangnan become so manic?

Originally, 10 soldiers were deployed on the outskirts of the three cities to carry out feint attacks.The reactions of Xu Shouhui and Han Shantong greatly exceeded his expectations. In desperation, he had to transfer the [-] yuan troops outside Haozhou City to support them.I personally sit outside Haozhou City, after all, it is the safest place.

The handsome tent was lifted, and a slender figure appeared at the door. The cool night breeze blew in, mixed with the unique scent of a girl.

Li Siqi hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, it's so late, what's the point of coming to find the last general?"

Min Min Temur is the daughter of Chahan Temur, the younger sister of Wang Baobao, and the goddaughter recognized by the Supreme Emperor himself.

The tall and slender figure approached slowly, the snow-white skin and the black eyes like ink revealed a natural and noble temperament.

The silk and bamboo voice sounded, and the Yuan soldiers around were mesmerized. They would rather live two years less than listen to the princess say a few more words.

"The general worked hard day and night for me to suppress the rebellion in the Yuan Dynasty. The emperor specially sent me here to work in the army, and at the same time announced the commendation order for the general." Behind the princess, two maids with silver plates stood respectfully on both sides. On the plate was Emperor Yuanshun. Rewarded jewels and imperial edicts.

Li Siqi immediately knelt on his knees and rested his forehead on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the commendation. I will do my best to live up to His Majesty's expectations."

After sending the princess back to the tent to rest, Li Siqi made up his mind and immediately sent a divorce letter to Tuotuo: "Prime Minister, today the princess came to reward the three armies, in order to protect the safety of the princess's daughter, the prime minister asked the prime minister to send [-] troops to escort her. "

Two days later, Tuotuo, the prime minister who led the army to attack Pingjiang City, wrote back. The content was simple and clear: "There are no important soldiers, but the princess is wrong. You should kill yourself and apologize."

It's not that Tuotuo is unwilling to give soldiers, but that his strength is stretched. The 70 yuan army unexpectedly appeared under Pingjiang City, but was ambushed even more unexpectedly by Zhang Shicheng's troops!Peng Yingyu personally led people to ambush around Pingjiang City. When the Yuan army rested, they attacked. When the Yuan army defended, they set fire and retreated.A hundred or so Han Chinese were all cavalry, Ma Kuai was very skilled, and Peng Yingyu's commanding skills were amazing, and Tuotuo was very annoyed by the harassment.You can't beat it, you can't catch it.Like a mosquito on a midsummer night, its buzzing is very annoying.

It wasn't until ten days later that Tuotuo realized that he was being led by Peng Yingyu's small group of cavalry. The main thing was to attack Pingjiang City! The 70-yuan army launched a fierce attack on the small Pingjiang City, which ushered in an even more fierce counterattack from the city defenders Zhang Shide and Zhang Shiyi.

The defenders at the top of the city were all equipped with light crossbows, which had a long range and high lethality. The Yuan army cavalry were shot into hedgehogs before they even rushed to the city.In addition, the defenders shot from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, while the Yuan army shot from the bottom of the city to the top of the city. The effect of gravity widened the gap in the shooting ranges of the two sides.Trying to get close to the city wall is tantamount to suicide.

Prime Minister Tuotuo used the corpses of more than 5 Yuan soldiers to exhaust the bows and arrows of the Pingjiang City defenders.It cost another [-] yuan to capture Pingjiang City.The whole army was stationed, but before they had time to celebrate, the city gate fell down, fire filled the surrounding area, and the entire Pingjiang City turned into a sea of ​​fire.The Yuan army looked around in horror. There was not a drop of water in the river in the city. The rebel army had already blocked the upper reaches, so there was no water.From the few wells, the water pumped up is only a drop in the bucket.The raging fire engulfed the Yuan army in the city. That night, the screams of the troops echoed in Tuotuo's mind for a long time, so many years later, he often woke up from nightmares.

Outside the city, Zhang Shicheng was fully armed, rushed out a group, went up and killed a group, and did not lead his troops back until a large number of Yuan troops broke through.

One night in Pingjiang, the Yuan army lost 17 yuan. Tuotuo knelt down in front of Pingjiang City, praying and mourning for the dead soldiers.

Of the 70-strong army, less than 50 remained.Zhang Shicheng had already taken his people and hid in Gaoyou City, which was lined with high walls.

The fury of revenge drove the Yuan army to go straight to Gaoyou City. The towering city wall made Tuotuo dumbfounded. Without siege equipment, even if Genghis Khan was resurrected, he would never be able to attack it.

While commanding the Yuan army to completely surround Gaoyou City, Tuotuo wrote a letter to Ba Sier Buhua, asking him to send a siege force to attack Gaoyou City together.

Without thinking about it, Basier immediately sent Yela to lead the Iron Bow Banner and Yunti Banner to Gaoyou to assist.

At this moment, Prime Minister Tuotuo is only thinking of destroying Zhang Shicheng, so where is the military force to take care of the life and death of the princess?

But the simple and clear rejection was misinterpreted by Li Siqi as another meaning.

What are you talking about, Mongolian and Han colleagues, in the end, can't you trust yourself as a Han general?Li Siqi shook his head and sighed, looking at the sun gradually rising on the eastern horizon, thinking about the way out and the future.

Not far away in Haozhou City, which Li Siqi thought was the quietest and least threatening place, under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was preparing for a battle he would never forget.

"Tie it up and tie it up, don't let it go loose." Tang He said to the soldier next to him who was tying steel knives to the horn while brushing the oxtail with oil.

During this period of time, all the scalpers in the city were gathered together, there were as many as a thousand. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, the generals took out all the steel knives and oil that were not in use in the warehouse of Haozhou City, and gave them to the scalpers. Made into special equipment.

Three o'clock in the morning is when people sleep most deeply.

The Yuan soldiers outside the city were drinking kumiss in their dreams, singing and dancing with their beloved girls in their arms, while the humble southerners knelt aside, serving them and enjoying themselves.

In Haozhou City, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a battle armor and his eyes were burning: "Brothers, are you ready?"

In front of them, the Red Turban generals lined up in a row, and behind them were thousands of rebels.

"Ready!"

"Open the city gate!"

With Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the tails of thousands of cattle tied with steel knives were set ablaze, and the gates of the city opened slowly. Several cavalrymen in red robes rushed towards the Yuan army's garrison first. Staring at the red cloak in front of him, he rushed over without thinking.

The Yuan army who was in charge of the night watch only heard the thunderous sound gradually approaching, followed by the sound, and the sky full of flames.
