In Darima's view, everything was as he expected. How could a group of newly trained recruits in Songming City be a match for his battle-hardened army?
The Ming Dynasty people on the city wall can only survive today at best. If things go wrong, they may not even be able to survive today, and the entire Songming City will become their possession!
Thinking that he could do whatever he wanted after entering the city, Darima's eyes became more eager and greedy, so he waved his hand again, and the sound of the horn became more passionate. The fourth team of infantry, which was still waiting, suddenly stood up and rushed forward madly.
Zhu Chong, who was on the top floor of the Victory Tower, clearly saw Darima's intention to attack. He shouted, "Yu Jin!"
At this moment, Yu Jin was on the stairs behind the main city wall, dodging the arrows from the Yuan Dynasty. When he heard Zhu Chong's shout, he quickly ran towards Zhu Chong.
"Wen Ze, the enemy intends to attack the main city wall in one fell swoop. Are you sure you can hold the main city wall? If you can't hold it, then I will defend it myself!"
There was actually nothing wrong with what Zhu Chong said. It was not that he did not trust Jin, but was purely out of concern for the safety of Songming City.
Today is the first battle of Songming City, and we cannot afford to lose. Once the city wall is lost, given the brutality of the Mongols, the entire Songming City will be destroyed.
But when Yu Jin heard Zhu Chong's words, a blush flashed across his face. He bowed his hands and shouted loudly, "Please rest assured, my lord. Wen Ze will definitely defend the main city wall and live up to your trust!"
After saying that, Yu Jin resolutely ran towards the main city wall, shouting as he ran: "Beat the drums, attack, archers, shoot, indiscriminate shooting! Heavy armored soldiers, mount the city wall, shield bearers, provide cover, heavy infantry, prepare to engage..."
Yu Jin was so agitated by Zhu Chong's words that he mobilized the heavy infantry, which he had not originally planned to use.
After entering Songming, Zhu Chong gave Yu Jin enough authority and support, and all kinds of equipment and supplies that could be gathered were put into Yu Jin's side.
Yu Jin also carefully selected a heavy infantry of 500 people based on the actual situation.
Each member of this heavy infantry team is wearing heavy armor that cannot be penetrated by ordinary arrows. The weapons in their hands are long swords made of hundred-fold tempered steel.
Such a team, armed from head to toe and almost to the teeth, was Yu Jin's secret weapon, and was used at this time.
With the fierce sound of drums, soldiers covered in armor and looking like evil spirits appeared on the city wall. Under the personal command of Yu Jin, they stood on the Songming city wall.
At this time, under the city tower, the former Yuan enemy army was still advancing, and dozens of ladders had been set up on the battlements of the main wall of the Songming city tower.
Countless former Yuan soldiers, like ants, filled all the ladders, and the former Yuan army finally stopped shooting arrows at the city walls.
Yu Jin immediately noticed that the arrows had stopped falling from the sky and immediately shouted frantically: "Everyone come out, the barbarians are coming to attack us, get ready to drive them down!"
The soldiers hiding in various places rushed up to the city wall at the urging of Yu Jin and others, and pounced on each ladder hooked on the battlements of the city wall, shooting out long arrows and various city defense equipment.
Thunderbolts and logs were thrown out, but there were too many enemies outside the city. Both arrows and thunderbolts were like stones dropped into a river and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Although the former Yuan soldiers were exposed to the killing range of Zhu Chong's soldiers on the city wall, they were not afraid at all. Amidst crazy roars, more ladders were transported up and placed on the Songming city wall, and more people quickly climbed up the city wall.
Faced with the attacking enemies swarming like ants, the soldiers on the city wall were extremely busy. In this situation, no one remembered the strategies that Yu Jin had taught them before, and they killed the enemies purely based on instinct.
Darima in the back obviously noticed the panic of the defenders on the city wall. As he waved his hand again, the Yuan soldiers rushed towards the ladders like a tide, roaring wildly.
The former Yuan soldiers on the ladders were not completely passive. Some of them held shields while defending and climbing, while others used crossbows to attack the soldiers of Zhu Chong's army who were shooting at them.
The new recruits trained by Yu Jin fully exposed their shortcomings of lack of experience at this time, and many of them paid the price of their lives.
Zhu Chong remained as firm as a rock and remained unmoved by the fierce fighting on the main city wall.
The ancient city attack and defense battles did not require any technical content at all. What's more, the enemy did not use the weapons he imagined, but relied purely on manpower. In this case, there is no need to take it too seriously.
Of course, it cannot be taken seriously. In this kind of battle, unless the former Yuan generals are ruthless and the siege soldiers are fearless and attack indiscriminately with arrows while attacking, it is simply a pipe dream to want to capture the city wall in a short time.
Yu Jin is doing quite well now. His heavy armored soldiers have held the position, and the archers have calmed down and started to suppress the enemy outside the city.
Both sides have deployed their combat skills to the maximum intensity. The battle outside the city wall of Songming City has been in a stalemate from the beginning. Soldiers from both sides are constantly falling down or falling from the city walls and ladders.
What follows is purely a test of willpower and numbers. Whoever collapses first will win.
"You still have time to escape now." Behind Zhu Chong, Guanyin Nu said expressionlessly, "Although you have many young and strong laborers, they are not soldiers after all. Sending them to the city wall is tantamount to sending them to death."
"Surrender or escape are your only remaining options. Once the city is breached, no one in the city will be spared, and you will be no exception."
"Really?" Zhu Chong turned around and glanced at Guanyin Nu calmly, "Then how about we make a bet! Let's bet on the outcome of this battle!"
"What do you want to bet with me?" Guanyinnu looked curious. She really couldn't imagine that the war had come to this point, and he was still in the mood to gamble with her.
"If I win this battle, you will be my princess from now on and do whatever I tell you to do!"
Zhu Chong has been unhappy with Guanyin Nu for a long time. Not only does she often run up behind him for no reason to scare him, but she also always says sarcastic things to him. If Zhu Chong hadn't been worried that he couldn't beat her, he would have taught her a lesson long ago.
Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Chong intends to solve the problem of Guanyin Slave once and for all.
Zhu Chong was not worried that Guanyinnu would regret her bet even if she lost. This woman valued her trust and promise more than her life, so Zhu Chong was so confident and bold to directly state his bet.
"Okay, but what if you lose?" Guanyinnu laughed in anger when she heard that. She had meant to kindly remind Zhu Chong, but she didn't expect that he would be so ungrateful!
"Do whatever you want!"
