Great Ming: Xu Miaoyun Will Marry No One But Me, Zhu Di Collapsed

Zhu Shuang transmigrated into the body of the second son of the Old Zhu family in the Great Ming Dynasty. Right from the start, he was expelled from the capital for stealing something from Xu Miaoy...

Chapter 29 Fire Attack

"Kill!" Yu Jin roared angrily, holding the sword with both hands, and tried his best to cut the enemy in front of him into two pieces.

At this moment, he was covered in blood and had injuries in many places. He almost turned into a bloody man, but he was still holding on.

Zhu Chong had already sent him another reserve force of a thousand men, who fought with the former Yuan soldiers. Thousands of people were crowded on the city wall. Both sides were blood-thirsty and would ruthlessly kill any opponent who dared to stand in front of them.

Darima was now standing under the city wall near Xiaoyaoling Mountain. Behind him, a 10,000-man infantry team was moving the formation forward. This was the last 10,000-man infantry team in Darima's hands.

But at this moment, his face was full of excitement. Looking at more and more of his own people on the city wall, he shouted at the 10,000-man army behind him.

"Raise my battle flag and charge forward. After entering the city, do not lay down your sword for three days..."

With Darima's order, the former Yuan soldiers under the city suddenly became crazy. Everyone was trembling with excitement. When they looked at the city wall again, they no longer had the previous fear. They roared loudly and rushed towards the city wall.

It is true that money makes the world go round. Darima's order to massacre the city aroused the wildest side of the former Yuan soldiers and completely released the beasts deep in their hearts.

Dozens of huge ox horns sounded at the same time behind Darima, and all the former Yuan soldiers began to frantically attack the main city wall of Songming City. Everyone wanted to be the first to break into Songming City.

Earth-shaking shouts of killing rang out on the main city wall of Songming City. The former Yuan soldiers who had already established a foothold on one side of the main city wall rushed madly towards the officers and soldiers in front of them.

Zhu Chong has already sent the last of his reserve troops into the battlefield. Facing the battlefield with blood and flesh flying everywhere, he is still as cold and solemn as before, without even the slightest expression.

There are ten giant crossbows placed in the Desheng Tower, and behind the crossbows are soldiers who operate the crossbows.

At this moment, these soldiers were panting like cows, their bodies almost soaked with sweat, not because there were red-hot charcoal braziers beside them, but because they were simply anxious.

Without Zhu Chong's order, they could do nothing. However, facing the precarious main city wall in front of him, Zhu Chong still had no expression, as if he was blind to the tragic situation before him.

The ten giant crossbows behind Zhu Chong are the masterpieces of Changsun Shunde in recent days. The range of this large crossbow can reach an astonishing one thousand steps.

Originally, there was no such thing in Songming City, but because Zhu Chong had a sudden idea yesterday and told his plan to defeat the enemy at the military meeting, but it lacked a key trigger, Changsun Shunde offered this thing after hearing it.

The role of large crossbows on the battlefield is mainly to destroy the enemy's large siege equipment, but its shortcomings are very obvious. It is bulky and has a low shooting accuracy. Apart from its long range, it is almost useless.

But it was this useless thing that made Zhu Chong's plan come true, but Zhu Chong now still needed a suitable opportunity.

The timing must be well grasped, neither too early nor too late, otherwise the best effect will not be achieved and all efforts will fail.

Looking at Yu Jin on the main city wall, with his hair disheveled, fighting madly with the enemy like a devil, Zhu Chong soon saw another Yuan Dynasty flag raised not far behind Yu Jin.

Looking at the strange Mongolian characters on the battle flag, Zhu Chong suddenly roared, "Light the fire, crossbows, and arrows!"

"Light the fire and load the arrows!" The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately, under the command of their respective generals, hurriedly picked up the long arrows and placed them in the brazier to ignite them.

Each giant crossbow has hundreds of giant long arrows neatly arranged. Each arrowhead is wrapped with thick oilcloth, so it can be easily ignited and then placed in the arrow slot of the crossbow.

"Shoot!" With an angry shout, ten long arrows roared like evil spirits almost at the same time, and flew out from the Victory Tower, directly passing over the main city wall and shooting towards a place farther outside the city.

So, Darima, who was outside the city and had already climbed the ladder, saw the most spectacular scene in his life, no doubt about it!

Ten long arrows burning with blazing flames suddenly flew out from the sky above Songming City above Darima's head, drawing a beautiful arc from the sky, like ten long dragons bathed in fire, making terrifying dragon roars, and shooting towards the distant Xiaoyaoling Mountain.

Darima looked at the direction where the arrow flew, his eyes suddenly dilated. When he saw the arrow clearly fall to the ground, he was struck by lightning, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, and forgot everything.

It was almost early autumn, and Xiaoyaoling Mountain was covered with large patches of dry fallen leaves and dead branches. However, beneath the dead branches, there was a layer of dark objects that extended all the way down the mountain.

When the rocket landed on the dead leaves and grass, a fire broke out instantly, then ignited the black substance, and soon the fire began to spread all over the mountain.

In the dense forests about a thousand steps away from Songming City, the soldiers who were secretly sent outside the city by Zhu Chong last night saw Xiaoyaoling Mountain burning and immediately set fire to the bushes around them.

Soon, flames broke out in various places outside Songming City. The flames connected into one in the shortest time, and one layer was piled up on top of another.

It happened that the wind was blowing towards Songming City at this time. For some unknown reason, the fire quickly spread to the foot of Songming City. The originally bare area under Songming City instantly turned into a sea of fire, and it seemed that even the city walls were burning.

When Yu Jin saw the fire outside the city, he immediately raised a green flag. All the soldiers who saw the green flag immediately fled towards the auxiliary walls on both sides.

There was originally a thousand-jin gate stone between the main city wall and the auxiliary wall. It was the only passage between the main city wall and the auxiliary wall. Once the thousand-jin gate stone fell, the main city wall would become an isolated place.

This was when Zhu Chong first designed the city wall. He took into account that once the main city wall was lost, he could use the thousand-jin gate stone to cut off the contact between the main city wall and the second city wall. At this time, the thousand-jin gate stone had already begun to descend.

The archers on the second city wall had already begun suppressing their shooting. Under the cover of the archers, Yu Jin and others finally got rid of the enemy behind them and escaped behind the thousand-jin gate stone.

When they saw the gate stone fall to the ground, the Yuan soldiers were at a loss facing the huge gate stone and soon fell into panic, because behind them came a long horn sound, which was the horn of retreat.

They had clearly already reached the city wall, so what did it mean to withdraw troops at this time? Something big must have happened.

When the Yuan soldiers looked back and saw the flames rising into the sky outside the city, they suddenly became panicked and fled towards the city.

But it was too late. In order to complete the plan he came up with on a whim, Zhu Chong even planned to abandon the main city wall.

There is a coal mine outside Songming City. Zhu Chong has recently stockpiled a large amount of coal in the city. He originally intended to use it for the winter, but it was all used in today's fire attack.
