Father can be an enemy to the country

In Zhongdu City, fires broke out everywhere. The shouts of killing and screams were endless.

"Listen up, everyone, follow your own hundred households closely, three hundred households follow one deputy thousand households, maintain the formation, don't scatter! Don't rush into the place when you get there, lock everyone in the construction site, and wait until dawn Deal with it!" Ding Bin wore full body armor and rode on a tall horse, calmly deploying the stretched troops.

He was not a second-generation ancestor like those of later generations, but a veteran who had been on the battlefield with King Kaiping at the age of sixteen.

"Don't panic, what kind of scene have you never seen before? When I followed King Kaiping to attack Suzhou, Zhang Shicheng led tens of thousands of his troops called the 'Ten Dragons' to break through and fight in front of our camp! The situation at that time was nothing like this. Ten thousand times more dangerous? Shouldn’t we grit our teeth and fight with our lives to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?!”

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers who were a little flustered because of the sudden incident all calmed down after hearing this.

That's right, the Soochow soldiers in hundreds of battles are no match for them, let alone these weak rabble.

"Go!" Ding Bin waved his hand fiercely.

"Here!" the soldiers responded loudly, and followed each other to various riot scenes.

There is a saying that these proud soldiers are really powerful in combat. As soon as he joined the fighting group, he chopped down melons and vegetables, suppressed the momentum of the rioting civilians, and drove them back to the construction site.

~~

But there were too many places where riots occurred, and Ding Bin's small number of troops could not cover everything. Besides, he didn't intend to cover everything, so there were still craftsmen and laborers from Wuyang Wuyang, wielding hoes and shovels, breaking the simple fences and rushing out from various construction sites.

They roared like wild animals and smashed everything in front of them to vent their anger.

They want to destroy everything, destroy the man-eating Zhongdu City, destroy the Korean prince who enslaves them like animals, and destroy the Ming Dynasty that does not give them a way to survive!

They were like an out-of-control tide, sweeping through every street in Zhongdu City.

But the mansions of those wealthy families stood firm in the tide like rocks.

First, the high-walled compound is inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack. Second, most of the servants and guardians of the honorable homes were battle-hardened veterans. They climbed onto the parapet and used bows, arrows, fire blunderbuss, and boiling oil to repel waves of attacks.

Occasionally, those who took advantage of the chaos to climb up the wall were hacked to death with long spears and short knives, but remained unmoved.

There is no way, they have all survived in troubled times, and they have too much experience in looking after homes and nursing homes.

Just when the rebels were losing ground, a team of thousands of people with their heads wrapped in red scarves, wielding long and short weapons, came out of the southwest corner of the central capital!

Because Li Shanchang temporarily changed his plan to include Fengzui Mountain in Zhongdu City, the foundation of the city wall there had just been laid, leaving a large gap exposed.

The Mingjiao's elite forces gathered from various counties broke into Zhongdu City from here.

"Li Shanchang is hiding in the palace! Enter the palace and chop Li Shanchang alive!" The red scarf army shouted slogans as they marched towards the palace.

Upon hearing the slogan, the White Lotus believers scattered everywhere immediately shouted to the civilian workers and craftsmen like headless flies.

"Go into the palace and chop Li Shanchang alive!"

Under increasingly uniform slogans, they gathered again and formed a torrent, pouring into the Imperial City of Zhongdu from all directions.

Li Shanchang indeed immediately moved all the important people in Zhongdu City to the Forbidden City separated by a wall.

The Forbidden City is the most completed building in the entire country and has the best defensive effect. It has a circumference of seven miles, and the city wall is more than three feet high. It has only four gates, and all four gates have towers. There are moats on the three sides, southeast and west, one to twenty feet wide and one to two feet deep. Although it has not yet been filled with water, it is enough to create a great obstacle for attackers.

Therefore, Li Shanchang on the Chengtian Gate Tower, although he only had more than a thousand troops in his hand, did not panic at all. He even wanted to imitate Zhuge Liang by burning incense and playing the piano in an arty way.

Unfortunately, it was too shameful, so I could only think about it and give up.

Sure enough, the Red Scarf Army, which had been so powerful all the way, breaking through all kinds of obstacles, seemed to have hit the wall of sighs as soon as they reached the Forbidden City.

The trench alone, which is one or two feet deep and eleven or twelve feet wide, is enough for them to drink a pot.

Several people who got carried away jumped down rashly and ended up dead or injured.

"Find the ladder, quickly find the ladder!" the leader of the Ming Cult hurriedly ordered loudly.

In King Ming's plan, the most indispensable thing in the large construction site of Zhongdu City was ladders. Materials could be obtained locally, so there was no preparation in advance.

But the strange thing is that everyone searched around but couldn't find a few of them, so they had to use bamboo poles and wooden sticks to make them on the spot.

An hour has passed since I collected enough ladders to send thousands of people over...

But no matter what happens in the past, no ladder can reach the city wall which is three meters long and as high as possible.

The craftsmen had to connect two ladders to make a ladder. Then more than a dozen people supported it and carried it tremblingly up the city wall, making people worry that it might break at any time.

It's really worse than a grassroots team, which fully explains what it means to be a mob.

But they are not afraid of death...

As soon as the ladder was set up, the Red Scarf Army, which had been impatient for a long time, swarmed up shouting slogans.

"We are willing to be shattered into pieces, just for the light to shine on the world and wipe out all the darkness in the world!"

This slogan gave them infinite strength, making them forget their fear of heights and climb to the top of the ladder in one breath!

But when they finally reached the top of the wall, the defender above stretched out a long hook, hooked one end of the ladder, and then worked together to send it outward.

Some ladders were overturned, and people on top screamed and got off the dumplings.

Those poor-quality ladders were broken directly in the middle, and the people on the upper half got off the dumplings...

But more and more believers and civilians were gathering from all directions, making Li Shanchang and others in Wufeng Tower feel numb.

The area illuminated by torches under the Light City is probably packed with twenty to thirty thousand people, right? And where the light can't reach, there are still an unknown number of people in the moving darkness.

This is not surprising. There are a total of 300,000 craftsmen and civilians in the entire Zhongdu City. Everyone hates this palace and Li Shanchang!

Although their attack was haphazard, and most of them had never even touched a sword or a gun, they were like moths rushing to a flame, setting up inferior ladders one after another, and climbing to the top of the city with ants from all directions.

Ladders were pushed down one after another, and countless figures fell down the city. However, more ladders were set up and more figures climbed up!

What supports them is one sentence, Li Shanchang is so stupid at the top!

The defenders on the top of the city were finally in a panic. Their numbers were too small, and they had to defend a seven-mile-long city wall, so they couldn't cover everything.

It was midnight again, how could the entire city be illuminated with torches alone? Still, those mobs rushed to the top of the city!

The two sides finally met in close combat, and the city suddenly became a mess.
