Instantly.
The archers in the city and the cannons on the city walls roared at the Ming army that was attacking the city.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thousands of arrows fell like rain.
It shot towards the Ming army.
Miserable screams rang out endlessly.
From time to time, many Ming soldiers could be seen being pierced by arrows and falling into a pool of blood. The cannonballs blasted many Ming soldiers into pieces, and the entire battlefield was a tragic scene.
It was like a meat grinder, slaughtering the armies of both sides.
Zhu Di and Fu Youde looked at the army's attack calmly and indifferently. No matter how many casualties there were, they did not show any signs of reaction. They were very calm.
After all, it was not their first time on the battlefield. They had been baptized by the battlefield many times. Perhaps this was the case.
"Wang Baobao is defending to the death. This battle is not going to be easy.”
Zhu Di stared at the city and sighed.
"According to the intelligence from Northern Yuan, after knowing that Great Ming was going to attack, the Yuan Court had the intention to retreat. The Yuan Emperor also wanted to retreat to the desert, but Wang Baobao resisted the public opinion and wanted to defend the remaining ten cities in the northern border.”
"Therefore, Wang Baobao will definitely fight to the death in this battle. Only by defending can he survive. If he can't defend, Yuan Emperor and the Yuan officials in the court won't let him off.”Fu Youde said.
"Making a comeback, hehe."
"Wang Baobao is thinking too much.”
"The current strength of our Great Ming is not something he can imagine.”Zhu Di sneered, full of mockery.
"However…"
"This battle is just as the Prince of Yan said. It's not easy to fight.”
"With Wang Baobao's law-abiding nature, our army will suffer heavy losses even if we win.”Fu Youde said solemnly.
"Today's battle is just a test to see how law-abiding Wang Baobao is.”
"However, no matter what he does, the outcome of Northern Yuan's destruction cannot be changed.”
"This king wants them to scram back to where they came from.”Zhu Di said slowly.
……
In the archer camp.
All the soldiers gathered.
Compared to before the expedition, the number of people had decreased by nearly half.
Two days of rest did not allow them to completely recover from the shadow of death.
As the new commander, Zhu Xiong stood in front of the 1st unit of the archer army and looked at all the soldiers.
Today, he was wearing a full set of battle armor, a battle sword strapped to his waist, and a bow and arrow on his back.
"Brothers, the battle losses have been calculated. Deputy Guard Liu just told me that our 1st unit originally had 1120 soldiers. In yesterday's battle, 265 died and 370 were injured.”
Zhu Xiong stood in front of all the archer soldiers and said loudly.
Although it was the third day, Zhu Xiong was extremely confident with his strength and did not have any stage fright.
This was also the reason why he stood alone in front of the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the archer army.
The two generals died in battle, and the thousand households were promoted to deputy guards.
Liu Lei also had the intention to train Zhu Xiong's troops, so he handed over the 1st Battalion to him. Although he was the commander, he was already in charge of a battalion.
Hearing the battle losses.
All the archer soldiers had a gloomy look on their faces.
Everyone present was a veteran, a soldier who had guarded the border for the Ming Dynasty for several years, or even longer.
"On the battlefield, life and death can be decided with a single thought.”
"As long as we are on the battlefield, I may die in battle, and all of you may die in battle.”
"The only way to end the war is to destroy the Yuan Court.”
"This battle is inevitable."
"However, please rest assured."
"I, Zhu Xiong, have received the general's favor and have been promoted to the position of commander. I am worthy of leading all my brothers. I, Zhu Xiong, will tell all my brothers that on the battlefield, I will stand at the front of the 1st unit of the archer army. If the enemy attacks the front of my archer army, I will be the first to kill them.”
"If I, Zhu Xiong, take a step back, all of you can raise your arrows and kill me.”Zhu Xiong shouted to all the archer soldiers.
"President Zhu."
"President Zhu…"
At this moment.
All the soldiers of the 1st Battalion raised their hands and shouted. Their eyes were filled with respect for this young man who had made such a great contribution.
On the other side.
"General."
"We were worried for nothing. This Zhu Xiong is not only outstanding in archery, but he is also capable of commanding his subordinates. He might really be a natural talent.”Liu Lei sighed.
"Yes, I am."
"An extraordinary figure has appeared in our Beiping army.”
"After we destroy Northern Yuan this time, I will definitely recommend him to the Prince of Yan. Such a talent must not be buried.”Zhang Fu also nodded heavily.
It was not Liu Lei's idea to hand over the 1st unit to Zhu Xiong, but Zhang Fu's attempt.
He also had the intention to nurture this savior of his.
The result did not disappoint him.
Zhu Xiong indeed had the ability to lead troops.
"Go ahead."
"Pass down my order. The army will set off and march into the border city of Northern Yuan.”
"We can't miss out on this battle credit.”
Zhang Fu said to Liu Lei.
"Yes."
Liu Lei bowed and quickly walked towards the camp.
The army.
After resting for two days, the vanguard army would set off to join the main army and attack Northern Yuan's border city!!!
