"Emperor, is there anything wrong?"
The Minister of War, Kuang Ye, hurriedly called out respectfully.
"Does the army not have siege weapons?" Zhu Qizhen asked.”
At this moment, the Ming soldiers attacking Huailai City did not have any other siege weapons other than a dozen scaling ladders. They were basically using their lives to charge forward.
Kuang Ye hesitated for a moment and said carefully,""Because the army had changed course, the logistics troops at the rear were unable to keep up in time. We could only temporarily build ladders to deal with the emergency.”
Hearing Kuang Ye's words, Zhu Qizhen's brows raised slightly.
Alright, this was the fault of the previous owner and Wang Zhen.
Suddenly, Zhu Qizhen thought of something and communicated with the system in his heart.
"System, in the rewards I received earlier, the 500,000 troops are given a year's worth of rations and supplies. Does it include weapons and equipment?”
"Ding! The baggage referred to the armaments, rations, bedding, and other materials carried by the transport troops during the march. Naturally, there were weapons and equipment.”
Zhu Qizhen was pleasantly surprised when he heard the system's reply.
After a pause, Zhu Qizhen probed again," Can I use this reward in batches?”
"Ding! Sure."
Zhu Qizhen had originally only wanted to give it a try, but when he heard the system's affirmative reply, he was even more delighted.
Retracting his thoughts, Zhu Qizhen looked at Kuang Ye." Is there any empty flat land nearby?”
Although Kuang Ye didn't understand, he still said respectfully,""Your Majesty, in the south of Huailai City, there is a flat land with a radius of several hundred meters. Our army's current supplies and the temporary scaling ladders are all there.”
"Let's go and take a look." Zhu Qizhen nodded.”
"Yes, sir!"
Kuang Ye and the rest naturally did not dare to have any objections to Zhu Qizhen's words.
Immediately, the group headed towards the flat ground in the south of Huailai City.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Around the flat ground, there was an army of 20,000 soldiers guarding it.
In the middle of the flat ground, other than a small amount of resources, there was also a group of soldiers who were rushing to make the scaling ladder.
Looking at the scarce resources, Zhu Qizhen could not help but shake his head slightly.
Immediately, Zhu Qizhen looked at Kuang Ye and said,""Have the soldiers clear out an empty space in the middle, then spread out to the surroundings. The soldiers who make the scaling ladders are no exception.”
"Your Majesty, the battle ahead is urgent. One more ladder will reduce the number of soldiers sacrificed. Please think twice!”
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Kuang Ye hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Emperor, please reconsider!"
The other ministers also began to persuade him.
In their opinion, this willful emperor had suddenly given such an order.
Zhu Qizhen frowned when he saw this. His eyes flickered for a moment before he shouted,"I received a dream from Emperor Taizu that resources will descend from the sky to help my Great Ming pacify the bandits. He asked everyone to disperse so that they wouldn't be injured by the supplies.”
"Emperor, you…"
Kuang Ye and the rest obviously didn't believe Zhu Qizhen's words.
"Enough, do it immediately. Don't waste time. We'll know if it's true or not immediately!”Zhu Qizhen rudely interrupted Kuang Ye's words and coldly said.
"Sigh, yes!"
Kuang Ye sighed in his heart and helplessly agreed. He then went to instruct the 20,000 soldiers.
At this moment, Kuang Ye, Wang Zuo and the rest could only pray in their hearts that Zhu Qizhen's words were true.
Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, it was still good!
Soon, an empty space was cleared in the middle of the flat ground.
The soldiers scattered around, their hearts filled with confusion.
" System, take 10% of the resources and release them on the empty ground in front of us." Zhu Qizhen ignored everyone. When he saw that the ground had been cleared, he immediately gave the system an order in his heart.
Zhu Qizhen had just issued an order to the system in his mind.
The air in front of him suddenly distorted, and a dazzling golden light appeared out of thin air.
Sensing the appearance of the golden light, many people subconsciously closed their eyes.
When the golden light disappeared and they opened their eyes again, everyone's eyes immediately widened.
Thousands of carriages appeared out of thin air on the empty ground!
Weapons and provisions appeared out of thin air and piled up on the carriage.
There were even a considerable number of catapults, muskets, and fifty red cannons!
Looking at the grain and armaments that appeared out of thin air on the empty ground, everyone was stunned!
" This... is really a divine technique!"
After a while, Kuang Ye was the first to recover from his shock.
Meng Tian, who was beside Zhu Qizhen, was also shocked. Her lips trembled and she knelt down in front of Zhu Qizhen, shouting,""Your Majesty's divine might, the Ming Dynasty is invincible!"
"Swoosh!"
In the next moment, the ministers and tens of thousands of soldiers around Zhu Qizhen knelt on one knee and cheered loudly!
"Your Majesty's divine might, the Ming Dynasty is invincible!"
"Your Majesty's divine might, the Ming Dynasty is invincible!"
“……”
Zhu Qizhen looked around at everyone and said in a clear voice,"Rise!"
Although his voice was not loud, it easily spread to everyone's ears.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone thanked Zhu Qizhen and stood up at the same time.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Meng Tian and ordered," General Meng, immediately lead the soldiers. Bring catapults, red cannons, and other equipment to assist General Fan Zhong. Take down Huailai City as soon as possible!"”
"I will obey!"
" Understood!" Meng Tian replied respectfully. Then, she immediately led the army, the Red Cannon, and the catapults to support Fan Zhong.
Other than the 20,000 soldiers who stayed behind to defend the camp, Fan Zhong also led 80,000 soldiers to attack Huailai City.
Wala only had 20,000 men, and under Fan Zhong's attack, they were already in a precarious situation.
When Meng Tian led the army, bringing along the Red Cannons, catapults, and other weapons to join the battle, Huailai City was breached in less than two hours!
The Wala soldiers in Huailai City were all killed just like the 50,000 cavalrymen from Yexian!
When the officials beside Zhu Qizhen saw this scene, their expressions changed slightly.
"Meng Tian will lead the army to station outside the city. The rest of you, follow me into the city!”
Zhu Qizhen couldn't be bothered with them and directly gave an order to everyone.
Immediately, the group entered Huailai City.
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Zhu Qizhen had just sat down when an old man dressed in a civil official's uniform with a resolute face bowed towards Zhu Qizhen and said solemnly," Emperor, this old minister has something to report!”
