Aruwin was sitting in his residence studying a map.
He did not immediately appear on the city tower to participate in the defensive battle. As a veteran soldier, he knew that a city with 80,000 elite soldiers would not be taken down in one wave no matter how many people the enemy sent.
Such a war would often evolve into a tug-of-war in the end. Both sides suffered countless casualties, and the stalemate lasted for ten days, half a month, or even a few months.
Therefore, instead of wasting time, it was better to study how to turn the defense into an attack and surprise the Ming army.
"The siege should have begun, right? Why couldn't he hear anything? Since it was so quiet, it should not have started yet. It seemed that the Ming army planned to rest for the night before attacking the city tomorrow!”Aruwin muttered to himself, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes."Then why don't we take advantage of the fact that the Ming army hasn't stabilized their footing and attack the enemy camp at night?”
Passively defending was not his style.
Aruven began to carefully consider the possibility of a night raid.
It would be great if they could kill tens of thousands of Ming soldiers overnight. Even if they did not kill many people, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the Ming army.
Just as he was thinking, Daruhuachi Kuter suddenly rushed in, forgetting even basic etiquette.
Aruwin was about to fly into a rage when he heard Kruter say with a strange expression,"Wangye, you should quickly follow this humble servant up the city to take a look. The Ming army is cursing below the city!”
"Cursing in front of the battle? Hehe, this was the Han people's practice in the past. In order to highlight their own controversy, both sides would denounce the local disputes in front of the battle in order to reduce the morale of the enemy. This was recorded in the Han books!”Aruven finished his sentence in a low voice and then mocked,"The Han people have even used this method now. It can be seen that they are powerless against our impregnable defenses and can only use such a despicable method. Kuter, tell Li Keyi to ignore the Ming army and let them curse. If they dare to come within 150 steps of the city wall, they will be greeted with arrows!”
Kruter stood still.
Aruven waved his hand impatiently and started to chase them away."Alright, go and pass on the order. Don't disturb this king's study of the military situation!”
Kuter laughed dryly." Your Highness, the Ming army was not scolding anyone else. They were scolding you, Your Highness. Not only did they scold your mother, but they also scolded your ancestors of the Naiman family. They also…slandered you for having an affair with the Empress…"
"What is it? How dare the Ming army insult me!" Aruven flipped the table over and the map fell to the ground. He grabbed the blade and shouted,""Let's go, this old man wants to see which lowly Han is not afraid of death!”
He stopped after taking two steps.
"Ming Jun is trying to provoke me on purpose and make me do something irrational when I'm furious. I was almost fooled!”It had to be said that Aruwin was indeed a cunning old fox, and he actually guessed it right.
Kruter suddenly understood and bowed."Your Highness, you are wise and saw through the Ming army's plot. Then you are busy. This humble servant will continue to return to the city wall to supervise the battle!”
"Wait, I'll go up the city with you!”
"Since Your Highness already knows that the Ming army is deliberately provoking you, why do you still want to go?" Kuter was surprised.”
"This king is just going to the city walls. Don't worry, since I've already seen through the enemy's scheme, this king naturally won't be furious. The enemy's scheme will fall apart without being attacked. This king wants to see how disappointed they will be when they know that their scheme didn't work! Also, Xu Da is also considered an old friend of this king. This king will go and meet him!”
"I also want to see the enemy beat his chest and stomp his feet when he's disappointed!" Kuter laughed.”
Aruwen and Kruter asked as they walked out of the mansion,""Kuter, have you found out the reason why the Ming army raised the yellow flag? Was it Zhu Yuanzhang's personal expedition? There were many rules in the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, only the emperor or the crown prince was qualified to raise the yellow flag when he went out to war…Could it be that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was here?”
Aruwen climbed up the city tower and greeted Li Keyi and the guards with a slight raise of his hand. He looked down from the city tower and saw a person standing in the first row of the seemingly endless Ming army about 300 steps away. He was cursing loudly in Mongolian.
"Aruwen, you old thief, you have done all kinds of bad things, so you have no descendants. Your son Chahan Timur has no sons. Although Kuokuo Timur calls you grandfather, he is just a wild child that was picked up. He has no blood relations with your Naiman clan!”
"Aruwen, you relied on the power of your cheap grandson, Kuokuo Timur, to deceive the emperor and climb onto the phoenix bed of the Dayuan Empress!”
"Aruwen, you actually had the intention to usurp the throne. You and your cheap grandson, Kuokuo Timur, control more than half of the Yuan Court's army. It's only a matter of time before you rebel and kill the Emperor!”
Although he knew he couldn't get angry, Aruven still felt blood rush to his head.
He took a few deep breaths in a row and only calmed down a little. The other party's scolding was too vicious. His intentions were beyond reproach. Not only did he scold him personally and his ancestors, but he also dragged the Empress and the Emperor into it, saying that he was plotting a rebellion. If these words were to reach the ears of the Emperor, even if he did not punish him, his heart would still be deeply rooted.
This thorn would take his life sooner or later.
"We have to interrupt the enemy's cursing!" Aruven took a few more steps to the wall, and half of his body was already exposed.
He looked into the distance and saw another yellow flag behind the Xu flag. Under the yellow flag was a youth wearing bright yellow armor.
Yellow was too conspicuous among the soldiers in black armor.
"I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son is thirteen years old. It should be him!”Aruwin grinned and turned to Li Keyi."Get Vajra Nu to lead five thousand cavalry and charge straight for that yellow flag. Tell the men that under the yellow flag is Zhu Yuanzhang's crown prince. If we capture him, this king will definitely ask His Majesty to confer him the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Families and reward him with eight hundred slaves!”
Li Keyi asked the messenger to pass on the order. He looked down and carefully reminded,"Wangye, you should step back a little. Be careful of the enemy's arrows!”
"Idiot!" Aruwin said disdainfully. The longest shooting range of a bow and arrow could only reach 220 steps, and this place was 300 steps away from the Ming army. No bow and arrow in the world could shoot so far! Li Keyi, it seems like you really don't have any military knowledge!”
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a finger-sized bloody hole appeared in the middle of Aruwen's brow star. Blood gushed out, and his eyes quickly became unfocused. With a plop, he fell down from the city tower.
A few hundred meters below the city gate tower, Zhu Biao put away his sniper rifle and chuckled."First hit! Old thief, I won't send you off!"
