The former Yuan people never imagined that the Ming Dynasty people had set up such a big trap for them.

Yaoling Mountain was burned down, and along with the main city wall of Songming, Darima's army was completely destroyed, and the massacre was so cruel.

The former Yuan soldiers who survived the disaster burst into tears as they looked at the flames in the distance. Their arrogant hearts suffered millions of critical hits, making them flee towards Kunming like stray dogs.

Zhu Chong's fire attack strategy dealt a heavy blow to the former Yuan people, especially to their morale.

Looking at the blazing Yaoling Mountains behind him, and his comrades screaming and running away in the flames in the distance, their bodies wrapped in flames, no one would not feel fear.

Moreover, the annihilation of Darima's army also led to an ironclad fact, that is, the army under King Liang lost more than half of its troops. Even if they attacked Songming City again, no one would be optimistic about whether they could capture it.

The fire lasted for two full days before it was gradually extinguished. If Zhu Chong had not taken all emergency measures in advance, there is no telling how long the fire would have burned and when it would have ended!

The first battle in Songming City was a victory, and Zhu Chong's maiden battle ended in victory. When the sun shone on the Victory Tower in Songming City in the early morning of the third day, everything seemed to have returned to its former state.

However, the main city wall, which was already burned to pieces and had most of it collapsed, and the strange smell of meat in the air reminded everyone in Songming City of what had happened before.

Although Zhu Chong's army won a great victory, the losses it caused were also unprecedented.

More than half of the 20,000 new troops trained by Yu Jin were killed, and the heavy armored soldiers were almost wiped out. If Zhu Chong's plan had not been successful, it would be hard to say who would have won the battle.

It was Lin Shu who reminded Zhu Chong at that time, making Zhu Chong think of the story that happened to Lin Shu in another time and space.

The Chiyan Army used fire attack in the battle of Meiling to destroy the Dayu Imperial Army, which had more people than their own.

Zhu Chong was reminded of the city wall he designed, and decided to use fire attack and take a gamble.

In fact, Zhu Chong was forced into a corner. The first day of battle made him have no confidence in the new recruits that Jin had hastily trained.

This was indeed the case. During the second day's attack and defense, Zhu Chong sent out all his reserve troops, but still could not stop the enemy from climbing the city. If he did not have the last trump card in his hand, Songming City would have become a living hell by now.

However, Zhu Chong still felt sad about the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in this battle.

Even though these were people 'rewarded' by the system, and even though the system had replenished the number of people in the past two days and made up for the gap, Zhu Chong still reflected on it.

Although I won the first battle, I cannot be complacent because King Liang is still alive and there are fierce battles ahead.

Therefore, after the great victory, Zhu Chong immediately made a decision to devote all his efforts to completing two tasks.

The first thing is to repair the main city wall. Having a main city wall and not having a main city wall are two completely different things. It is precisely because of the obstruction of the main city wall that we can resist the invasion of the enemy.

When rebuilding the main city wall, Zhu Chong still used brick, stone and cement structure, but on the basis of the original, he decided to raise the height of the main city wall from the original twelve meters to fifteen meters, increasing the height of the main city wall by three meters.

Don’t underestimate this height. During the battle to defend the city, this three-meter height can save the lives of many defenders!

Another thing is to expand the army with all his strength. Zhu Chong is determined to implement a policy of universal military service in Songming City.

The result of the first battle confirmed that Zhu Chong's initial policy of elite troops was wrong. If he had more than 30,000 new recruits at the time, even if these people were rookies and going to the battlefield was no different from committing suicide, he would not have been left with no one available in the end.

Therefore, Songming City immediately started operating at full speed, and everyone became more united because of the coming of war.

Yu Jin, Lin Shu and Changsun Shunde were all sent by Zhu Chong to train new soldiers. Zhu Chong personally supervised the reconstruction of the city. In order to ensure quality and quantity, Zhu Chong spent 10,000 points to exchange for ten outstanding construction talents.

Zhu Chong knew that professional matters should be left to professionals. He was not a jack of all trades. Besides, even if he was, he didn't want to tire himself out.

Just as Zhu Chong started a new round of construction in Songming, in the Liang Wang residence dozens of kilometers away, the Liang Wang was furious at the soldiers who had escaped back.

"What are you talking about? Darima is dead? The whole army was wiped out, and only a few of you have returned?"

King Liang was in disbelief. He knew Darima's ability. He was one of the most powerful generals under his command. How could he be gone in just a few days? The most important thing was that half of his troops were gone too!

"Your Majesty, the Ming people were too treacherous. They used fire attacks, burning down the two mountains outside Songming City and their main city walls. That's why..."

"A single fire destroyed Darima and half of my troops?" King Liang flew into a rage and interrupted his soldiers, with an expression that looked ready to devour anyone, as if he was ready to go berserk and kill anyone at any moment.

Upon seeing this, the Left Prime Minister Dade and the Right Prime Minister Lu Er hurried forward to dissuade him. Only then did the King of Liang calm down and dismiss the soldiers in front of him. Soon, only the King of Liang and his left and right prime ministers were left in the hall.

King Liang calmed down and quickly realized the seriousness of the matter. He looked at the two prime ministers with gloomy eyes.

"Dade, Luer, it seems that the group of Ming Dynasty people in Songming are not simple. Darima is also stupid. He actually thought he could take Songming in one battle. He was so stupid that he lost his life."

"It wouldn't be a big deal if he died alone, but he also destroyed half of my army. His death is truly not a pity. But now that things have come to this, what do you have to say about the next battle?"

Dade and Luer looked at each other and didn't speak immediately.

Darima's defeat in this battle was not just the loss of half of King Liang's army.

The reason why Darima was able to become the Prime Minister under the command of King Liang and be in charge of the military affairs of Yunnan and Yunnan was mainly because the battle-hardened troops under the command of King Liang all came from Darima's tribe.

Now that Darima's entire clan has been wiped out in Songming, the former Yuan tribes in Yunnan and Yunnan must have been greatly shaken. It will be impossible to continue fighting against Songming. The first thing to do now is to appease the people and the military as soon as possible.

Dade and Lu'er were both sensible people, so King Liang naturally could not ignore what they said.

Of course, what they said was true. With Yunnan and Dian suffering such a huge loss, the leaders of the various tribes under King Liang would definitely have other ideas, and even King Liang himself had his own little thoughts.

Darima is dead, but the women and children of his tribe are still alive, and the wealth of his tribe is still there. How to divide this piece of fat is what he is considering now.

As for the Ming Dynasty people in Songming City, King Liang finally took them seriously. He was able to kill Darima in one battle and gain a foothold in Songming, which was less than a hundred miles away from him. King Liang could not tolerate this situation to continue no matter what.

So after listening to the opinions of the left and right prime ministers, King Liang decided to solve the internal problems first, divide up the remaining interests of Darima, and then unite the various tribes to send troops to flatten Songming City.
