I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

According to the art of war, the two sides have the same strength, the best way is to lure the enemy out, and then look for opportunities in the wild to defeat the enemy.

But now they are facing the situation that the enemy doesn't come out at all, just squatting in the city.

And the number of the two sides is equal, and a strong attack is definitely not advisable.

But the problem is that Zhu Zhangui is waiting, and slowly killing the enemy is not an option.

"Is there anything you can do?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Jiang Huai with some irritability.

"Have."

Jianghuai said bluntly.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him unexpectedly. Could it be that this guy with mud legs can think of any way to break the city.

"Do you have a way to break the city?"

Jiang Huai shook his head, before Zhu Gaoxu thought he was being teased and got angry, he said bluntly.

"You lead people to stay here to watch them, and the minister leads people to go around directly!"

Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes and stared at Jiang Huai for a long time.

Jiang Huai also looked at him calmly.

Although the two of them didn't speak, they were having a quick question and answer in their eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu: Don't worry about me, don't forget that I delayed for two months a while ago, and also deducted the logistics of your Shenji Camp.

Jiang Huai: I don't trust you, but I trust the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu: You think that if you use the old man to suppress me, I won't dare to play tricks in the back. Believe it or not, if you leave, I will withdraw my troops for fifty miles and let the other party strangle your logistics line and kill you.

Jiang Huai: You can do whatever you want, but if a prince can be buried with me, I will die without regret.

Zhu Gaoxu: What do you mean?

JAC: Literally.

"Ha ha!"

After a while of eye contact, Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly.

"Since Commander Jiang trusts me so much, I will naturally do my best to help you hold back the enemy army here. You can go on the road with peace of mind!"

Jiang Huai raised his eyebrows, and calmly replied, "Then please His Highness the King of Han, we will take a step ahead, and when the time comes, I will report your achievements to His Majesty when we conquer the Western Regions."

"Hehe!" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were cold, and he sneered again, "Then thank Commander Jiang."

After all, he stopped talking to Jianghuai and ordered the troops to switch defenses with Shenji Battalion.

"Can Jiangtou really trust him?"

Watching Zhu Gaoxu lead his troops away, the old lion of the First Legion stepped forward, whispering a little worriedly.

"If we want to support His Highness, we have no choice but to trust the Emperor to suppress him."

Jiang Huai looked at Zhu Gaoxu's army who was changing defense with his troops, and replied calmly.

After finishing speaking, he asked the two army commanders to summon the troops to change defenses, clean them up briefly, bypass Kuxian directly, and march quickly to Afraid.

Chapter 272: The originator of biochemical weapons, the ancestor of the small days.

The siege of the city was brutal first, and I am afraid that it will not be much better if it is stabbed here.

The only difference is that the two are reversed.

The attackers became soldiers from the Western Regions, and the defenders were soldiers from Ming Dynasty.

There are corpses everywhere outside the city wall, and the strong stench of corpses makes people feel sick. Whether people in the city are going out or at home, their mouths and noses are tightly covered. They are afraid of smelling these disgusting smells and preventing the spread of the disease.

Wearing a thick mask on his face, Zhu Zhangui looked at the pile of corpses outside the city wall that were rotting and exposed many bones, without any worry between his brows.

The city has been defending for more than three months, and the enemy has also attacked for more than three months.

Although they failed every time, the enemy never gave up.

Even with the Ming army's pressing step by step, the rhythm of the attack has become stronger and stronger.

Of the 2000 old brothers he brought, only more than 1300 are still fighting.

More than 600 people withdrew from the front due to injuries or deaths.

Fortunately, the fighting spirit of the brothers is still there. As long as Zhu Zhangui stands on the city wall for a day, the brothers will continue to fight side by side with him.

With his secret support, the people in the city were able to survive in terms of food and medicines. The only thing the people in the Western Regions worried about was the rancid smell, which would cause epidemics to infect the whole city.

In ancient times, epidemics were more ruthless than massacres, and the people who died were not from one city or two cities.

For example, the Black Death that broke out in the West took more than 7500 million lives of Westerners in a hundred years.

Regarding this point, Zhu Zhangui had to lament that Zheng He was lucky.

You must know that the first round of the Black Death broke out, but in the empire on which the sun never sets, the time was only around the past few decades, and it has continued to break out intermittently for the past 1 years.

If Zheng He was unlucky at that time and encountered the Black Death, and then brought it back to the East, Daming might also suffer a catastrophe.

It is precisely because it is unclear when the Black Death will break out on a large scale in the West, and Ming Dynasty has no means to contain it, that Zhu Zhangui decided to temporarily abandon the West.

"Your Highness, we have already negotiated with the other party. They will send someone over tomorrow morning to take away the corpse."

While Zhu Zhangui was in a daze looking at the corpses everywhere outside the city, Hu Yu, who also covered his mouth and nose tightly, led a few people up from the city wall along the rope ladder.

Some people in the city have been unwell in the past two days. Zhu Zhangui was worried that an epidemic would break out, so he temporarily isolated those who were unwell.

Then Hu Yu was sent to the opposite side, hoping to negotiate a temporary truce with the other side and collect the bodies of both sides.

When Zhu Zhangui wanted to come, he felt uncomfortable on his side, and probably not much better on the other side.

The result is as expected.

Waisi didn't even think about it, so he agreed directly.

Wrong thinking that these people have no awareness of epidemic prevention, coupled with the fact that there are too many people washing up, many people haven't washed for a long time.

Well, this kind of dirty environment is the plague's favorite place. Last month, some people fell ill in the camp.

In order to prevent panic, Wai Si concealed the news and secretly sent people to deal with those who were sick.

But as more and more people fell ill, it seemed that this matter could not be concealed, and Wai Si became a little worried.

Once the epidemic broke out in the camp, the Western Regions Legion, whose morale was unstable due to the unfavorable siege for several months, would definitely collapse in an instant.

He is not reconciled to withdrawing troops, but if he does not withdraw, there is a risk of perishing at any time.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Zhu Zhangui took the lead in sending someone to find him.

Wai Si may be a little impatient, or it may be for the sake of his own life, and he did not put on airs, and directly agreed to Zhu Zhangui's proposal.

"Be careful tomorrow, these people from the Western Regions are unreliable, you must be on guard against their sudden attack at any time!"

Zhu Zhangui didn't believe this guy from the bottom of his heart.

In the past three months, in order to take down the city of Fear, Wrong Thinking has done everything he can.

Let the soldiers scold their mothers and provoke Zhu Zhangui to go out of the city to fight.

Secretly digging tunnels, or multiple night raids, and arresting people from outside the city to threaten them, it can be said that all kinds of insidious tricks have been used.

Although the guy on the opposite side promised to come to collect the corpse tomorrow, Zhu Zhangui always felt that this guy was going to play some tricks tomorrow.

Zhu Zhangui's guess was right.

Wrong thinking this guy is planning to play tricks.

"After collecting the corpses tomorrow, get firewood and burn them down the wind. Remember that the smoke and dust must float towards the city!"

Wai Si covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and confessed with stern eyes that he was the general who would collect the corpse tomorrow.

He couldn't wait any longer.

This morning, news came from Ku Xian that reinforcements from the Ming army had arrived, and most of the defenders left behind to watch Ku Xian, and the Shenji Battalion, which was aggressively attacking, had already detoured towards him.

According to the speed of the opponent's march, it is expected to arrive in a few days.

With little time left, he decided to make a last-ditch effort.

After winning the battle of defending the city, cooperate with Kuxian's defenders to flank the Ming army from left to right.

If he loses, he can only retreat to the high mountains in the south, and there will be no place for him to survive in the north.

Waiting for his generals to leave, Waisi looked at a man in a cloak with withered hands and feet and said, "Your medicine is really useful!"

"Jie Jie Jie..."

A burst of villainous laughter sounded, and the cloaked man said in a hoarse voice.

"Whether it is useful or not, you will know tomorrow, once it is done, don't forget what you promised me!"

Waisi looked at that person for a while, then nodded lightly.

"Don't worry, as long as I win the position of Khan, I will do my best to help you refine medicine!"

At nightfall, the two sides attacking and defending the city entered into a peaceful rest for the first time.

In the rest room on the city tower, Zhu Zhangui reclined on the brocade couch, breathing steadily and fell asleep.

Next to him, Tagiris stretched out his slender green fingers, and gently pressed his forehead to relieve the fatigue of the day.

All kinds of flowers are hung all over the house, as well as sachets containing spices.

These things are to dispel the disgusting rancid smell, so that Zhu Zhangui can have a stable rest environment.

There are not only two people in this room, there are a large group of people sitting or half lying on the ground by the corner.

They need to be on duty in the middle of the night. In order to let these soldiers have sufficient mental vigilance, Zhu Zhangui let these soldiers enter this only room without a foul smell to rest.

"Squeak..."

The closed door was slowly pushed open, and Zhu Zhangui and the soldiers who were sleeping soundly opened their eyes gently.

After seeing that it was Hu Yu, the soldiers closed their eyes again and continued to rest.

Zhu Zhangui waved to Hu Yu who was about to open his mouth, put on a thick mask, and walked out of the fragrant room.

"What's so urgent!"

Zhu Zhangui understood that if it wasn't something urgent, Hu Yu would never disturb his rest.

With excitement in his eyes, Hu Yu took out a dialed walkie-talkie and said to Zhu Zhangui, "Your Highness, Commander Jiang has brought people here!"

Hearing this news, Zhu Zhangui, who was still a little tired between his brows, suddenly regained his energy, grabbed the walkie-talkie and called:

"Jiang Huai, where have you been?"

Soon came from the opposite side, Jiang Huai's tired voice.

"Your Highness, the exact location is not clear. We are currently resting in an unnamed small village. It is estimated that there are still about fifty miles to your place."

"it is good!"

Zhu Zhangui couldn't help but exclaimed, that's great.

After persisting for two or three months, the hard days finally came to an end.

"How much combat power do you guys have?"

Although he was happy in his heart, Zhu Zhangui was worried that the soldiers were too tired and could not exert their combat power after considering the Shenji Battalion for so long and hurriedly marching.

"Your Highness, don't worry about this. Although the brothers are a little tired, you can still bear the hardship. I have already made the decision for you and told the brothers. After this battle, return to the capital. Please take good care of yourself." After eating a meal, the brothers were very excited, and they all said that they would kill you!"

"Hahaha... good!"

Zhu Zhangui laughed indifferently, and said boldly: "Tell the brothers, I am not afraid of being slaughtered, let alone a meal, I will treat them for three days."

"Haha, the subordinate brothers, thank you, Your Highness."

After making a promise to the soldiers of Shenji Battalion, Zhu Zhangui quickly explained to Jianghuai the battle plan in his heart.

Jianghuai and the generals around him also listened carefully, adding their thoughts from time to time.

Soon a simple battle plan was completed, and the two sides agreed on the time to attack, Zhu Zhangui let Jiang Huai and others rest first.

After all, Jianghuai and the others will have to raid for dozens of miles tomorrow, so a little more rest is just a little bit longer.
