Outside the capital.
Shi Heng led the 3,000 cavalrymen and set off again.
Li Shimin had collected the best and fastest horses in the capital.
Even the so-called imperial horses in the palace were given to Shi Heng's cavalry.
However, this time, there was no cotton cloth wrapped under the hooves of their horses.
Instead, it was a special horseshoe that could make a bigger noise.
"Ta Ta!"
Late at night, the Wala encampment heard the commotion outside again.
"The Ming people are here for a sneak attack again!"
The Wala people who were not sleepy immediately attacked!
However, Shi Heng immediately ran when he saw this, not stopping at all.
After chasing for a while, the Wala cavalrymen returned, leaving a portion of them to patrol.
Two hours later.
The soldiers in the camp had just fallen asleep when they were awakened by the sound of hooves outside.
"The Ming people are here for a sneak attack again!"
Although the cavalry that went out to fight was only a portion of the cavalry.
However, the infantry inside had experienced last night's tragedy, and no one dared to let their guard down.
They were afraid that Ming Ren would do it again.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, the pursuers returned empty-handed.
"This time, the wise man won't come, right?”
With this thought in mind, the infantry felt a little more at ease and once again fell asleep.
However, in less than two hours, the heavy sound of hooves came from outside for the third time!
"Ta Ta!"
The Wala army was furious. They couldn't even sleep!
Come in and fight if you want!
But Shi Heng wasn't stupid. Every time he took a detour outside, he would run away like the wind.
Inside the tent.
Grand Preceptor Wala also had two dark circles under his eyes. Clearly, he had not slept well either.
He was woken up by Shi Heng's group several times.
"Men, scatter the cavalry outside!
If the wise people dared to come again, he would eat them!”
With a single order, twenty to thirty thousand cavalrymen immediately moved out.
They were galloping outside the camp.
Shi Heng's three thousand men was a very clever number.
If there were too few of them, they might be eaten by the Wala people, and if there were too many of them, they would be too big of a target.
3,000 was just right. A small group of Wala cavalrymen would not be able to defeat them.
If they wanted to defend, they would have to do what they were doing now, with 20,000 to 30,000 cavalrymen spread out in all directions.
Shi Heng saw that the enemy was facing a great enemy and had sent out so many people.
Naturally, he would not go forward to die. He directly returned to the city wall.
In the Wala camp, the infantry could finally sleep peacefully under the protection of the cavalry.
However, two hours later, the sun rose.
Only then did he realize that the other party was using this tactic to exhaust his troops.
He didn't plan to blow up the camp again, but to make them unable to sleep!
"Grand Preceptor, we can't wait!
Start attacking the city immediately!"
"That's right, I'm willing to be the vanguard!”
The Wala generals below also understood that the longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be!
Great Ming's royal army was constantly rushing to the capital.
If they wanted to repeat the example of the Northern Song Dynasty, they had to be fast.
The time left for them was at most three to five days.
If they couldn't break through the city within five days, they would be exhausted to death!
"Burying the pot and cooking rice, attack the city in two hours!”
He ordered.
He couldn't waste time with Li Shiming like this. Time wasn't on Wala's side.
"Understood!"
Soon, the huge military camp began to operate.
Smoke rose from the kitchen chimneys as the hot food was delivered to the infantry's mouth.
The vast majority of the resources were snatched from the people of the Ming Dynasty along the way.
As for the cavalrymen, they had been guarding the camp for the entire night.
At the very least, he couldn't use it before the afternoon.
Li Shiming's strategic plan succeeded once again, and the Wala people lost a trump card in the siege.
"Woo!"
The horn sounded.
The Wala Army, in formation, advanced toward Desheng Gate, northwest of the capital.
"Thump! Thump!"
On the Ming army's side, the sound of drums sounded.
The army also got into formation and waited for the enemy to attack!
Li Shi Min stood on the city wall and looked at the Wala army with his binoculars.
"This thing is not bad. The things of Westerners are quite exquisite.”
He thought to himself.
He wanted to talk to the Ministry of Works later to see if they could make cheap and useful binoculars to equip the various armies of the Ming Dynasty.
As for Yexian, he was also holding binoculars in his hands.
It couldn't be said that they were similar, but they were exactly the same.
The binoculars in his hands were naturally the spoils of war after defeating Zhu Qizhen.
"The one standing on the city wall should be your Great Ming's new emperor.
Retired Emperor, do you want to take a look?"
He first passed the binoculars to Zhu Qizhen.
Unable to refuse, he could only pick up the binoculars and look at the city wall.
The one wearing the dragon robe was indeed his royal brother, Zhu Qiyu.
However, that face was unfamiliar.
The firmness and steadiness on his face was very different from what he remembered.
Before he could react, the person beside him gave the order.
"Attack the city!"
The mighty infantry pressed towards De Sheng Gate.
The middle troops were also moving closer and closer to the city gates.
"Kill them!"
The infantry of both sides clashed and began to fight.
Relying on the city walls, they did not have to worry about their rear being ambushed.
Instead, the left and right wings of Wala were scattered by the charging cavalry.
However, the Ming cavalry was indeed weaker than the Wala cavalry.
Disrupting the rhythm, but not being able to win in one strike and break through the opponent's camp.
"Kill them!"
Those who saw the fighter jet also had their eyes moved and threw Zhu Qizhen to the side.
He led the elite 10,000 cavalrymen and charged towards the weak point of the Ming army's defense outside Desheng Gate.
"Charge!"
Like a sharp blade cutting through tofu, the 10,000 cavalry of Yexian were invincible.
In a few hundred breaths, they broke through the formation and headed for the city wall.
"Kill them!"
Seeing the gap in the Ming army's defense line, the Wala army's morale soared!
The balance of the battlefield slowly tilted towards Wala.
The Ming army became weaker and weaker as they fought, finding it difficult to resist Yexian's charge.
"Kill them!"
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yexian's 10,000 cavalrymen had already pierced through the army formation.
When he was almost at the foot of the city wall, he looked up.
He could even see Li Shi Min standing on top of it.
It was the first time the two kings had met, and sparks seemed to have sparked in their eyes.
"Break the city and capture the emperor!"
He also raised his scimitar and led his men to charge forward!
Li Shi Min didn't panic at all and calmly ordered.
"Divine Arms Battalion, move out!"
A few simple and crude firearms poked out from the city wall.
As the Wala cavalry and infantry drew closer and closer, the Divine Arms soldiers became more and more nervous.
"Send!"
With Li Shi Min's order, these crude firearms spat out fire snakes.
The embryonic form of hot weapons was a complete blow to cold weapons.
Bullets flew in the air, flying toward the Wala cavalrymen.
Everything slowed down, and the malevolence on the faces of the Wala cavalrymen became clearer.
He didn't care about the comments in front of him.
But in the next moment, the bullets hit them or the warhorses.
Intense pain and a burning sensation came.
"Peng!"
The Divine Arms Battalion opened fire again, and a new wave of bullets flew over.
"Ah!"
Wails and screams rang out endlessly.
All the firearms battalions in the capital had been gathered together, and they were now playing a huge role.
"Bang!"
Under the double attack of the cannons, they were first escorted away from the city wall by the guards.
Thousands of corpses were left behind, as well as the screaming Wala people on the ground.
Four hours later, the siege ended.
The Wala people returned to the camp with heavy casualties.
The morale that they had accumulated was completely depleted.
The capital was far sturdier than they had imagined.
The first direct confrontation ended with Wala's complete defeat.
The 150,000 Wala soldiers sounded like a lot, but they could not escape Li Shimin's grasp.
If there were a few more people, perhaps the situation would be the same.
The Wala people had no idea what kind of opponent they were facing.
In their eyes, they were the one with the advantage in numbers.
However, from the perspective of the decision-makers, they were the weakest.
Unless Genghis Khan and Tiemuzhen were resurrected, he might still be able to wrestle with Li Shimin.
