Tens of thousands of Yuan troops launched the first attack on Jinyang.
In a siege, victory can only be achieved in one battle unless the strength and morale of the two sides are extremely different.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
The Yuan soldiers rushing in the front were holding scimitars and shields.
The Yuan soldiers at the back were holding strong bows and crossbows.
For a moment, the sound of killing was deafening, and the morale of the Yuan army was also high.
On the city wall, Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Zhao Min is indeed a great talent. Looking around the world, there is no other woman like her."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei both glanced at Zhang Wuji at the same time.
Zhou Zhiruo said unhappily: "As a man, you should at least consider the feelings of the women around you when you speak."
"It is true that there is no second Zhao Min in the world, but there will definitely not be another Zhou Zhiruo in the world either."
Yu Fei on the side said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Sister Zhou, what the young master said just now is clearly looking down on you and me. Come on, let's sisters show off our skills to the soldiers."
As he spoke, Yu Fei flew down.
Zhou Zhiruo also smiled slightly: "Okay, I haven't killed anyone for a long time. Today, I miss the feeling of wearing a blood-stained long skirt."
Zhou Zhiruo said to Zhang Wuji again: "Don't follow me, my sister Yu and I are going downstairs to play."
"By the way, give some encouragement to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."
"I want to let the soldiers know that if women are like this, what about the men?"
Zhou Zhiruo also flew down.
Dressed in green, she looks like a fairy from heaven.
A long sword that seems to be able to pierce the sky.
In the Yuan army, she and Yu Fei swung their swords together, as if they were in an empty space.
These two peerless beauties cooperated perfectly with each other, their graceful figures flying up and down like two butterflies among flowers. At first glance, it seemed as if one could forget that this was a battle.
Yang Xiao hurriedly walked to Zhang Wuji's side and said: "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous. Let the two ladies come back. Swords and knives have no eyes. What's more, it is far from the time for the two ladies to take action."
Zhang Wuji waved his hand and said, "Let them play down there for a while. Just now, I inadvertently praised Zhao Min, and they were a little unhappy."
"Killing some people might make them feel better."
Yang Xiao was speechless.
On the first day of the official war, the Ming Emperor's woman personally went into battle to kill the enemy.
This courage and boldness, even if not as good as Zhao Min's, is probably not much different.
Compared to Yang Xiao, Zhang Dingbian, who had just joined Zhang Wuji, was even more at a loss.
He knew that both Madam Zhou and Madam Yu had strong cultivation bases, but what he had not expected was that their cultivation bases had reached such a pinnacle.
The more outstanding a person is, the better the people around him will be.
This is a truth that has never changed throughout the ages.
Just like Zhang Wuji now, if he was not strong enough, he would never have everything he has today.
…
If Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei's cultivation is compared with Zhao Min, there is naturally still a big gap, but compared with ordinary soldiers, fighting one against a hundred is no problem.
In addition, the two of them cooperated perfectly, so in just a few moments, no less than a hundred Yuan soldiers died under their swords.
Before the Yuan soldiers could reach the top of the city wall, they were ambushed by Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei. This was something the Ming soldiers had never expected.
Among the Ming Dynasty soldiers on the city wall, many had witnessed Zhou Zhiruo's methods, which was why they respectfully called her Madam Zhou.
But what they didn't expect was that Madam Yu actually had skills comparable to Zhou Zhiruo's.
The discerning soldiers hurriedly shouted: "Madam Zhou is mighty, Madam Yu is mighty."
The men saw that a woman could do this, and besides feeling ashamed, it also boosted their morale to an unprecedented level.
The mighty sound resounded through the sky.
On the other hand, Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei just smiled at each other. It was obvious that these two beauties had won the hearts of the people again.
But just when the two of them wanted to continue going crazy.
On the top of the city wall, Zhang Wuji shouted loudly: "Zhiruo, Miss Yu, please retreat."
While waving the scimitar in his hand, Yu Fei asked Zhou Zhiruo, "Sister Zhou, the young master asked us to go back, but I'm having a great time killing. Why don't we play for a while longer?"
Zhou Zhiruo quickly said: "No, the Ming Dynasty soldiers are watching us."
"If their emperor couldn't even control his own woman, how embarrassed he would be."
Yu Fei laughed and said, "No wonder you have the young master under your control so tightly."
"It turns out that you are always thinking about the young master."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "If I don't think about him, who else can I think about? Retreat quickly. If there is anything, we can talk about it when we return to the city."
…
Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei, relying on their high cultivation level, returned to Zhang Wuji after a few light leaps.
Next came the Ming army soldiers, with their torrential rain of arrows.
On the top of the city wall, Zhang Wuji said to the two of them: "I know that both of you have strong cultivation, but you are not allowed to take such risky things again."
Zhou Zhiruo quickly said, "I understand. Don't be so loud. Please save some face for us sisters in front of the soldiers."
Yu Fei also quickly said: "That's right, sir, don't be so loud. At worst, Sister Zhou and I will apologize to you tonight."
"The two of us will accompany you together."
Zhou Zhiruo quickly rolled her eyes at Yu Fei: "You little girl, what are you talking about? What are you apologizing for? We need two people to accompany him. You can't indulge him in this bad habit."
Zhang Wuji quickly said: "Let's do as Miss Yu said. Tonight, I will punish both of you according to the family rules."
Zhou Zhiruo was speechless: "Zhang Wuji, can you be serious? We are at a war now."
…
The outcome of the first day's contest was within the expectations of Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min.
Although the Yuan army's offensive was fierce, there was no substantial progress except leaving behind thousands of corpses.
As night fell, inside the Yuan army camp.
Next to the campfire, Zhao Min was holding a leg of lamb and roasting it.
The people sitting opposite her were Duan Zihao and Wang Baobao.
Zhao Min said to them, "Generals, today's battle is just a test."
"Based on your two experiences, how much will it cost us to capture Jinyang?"
Duan Zihao and Wang Baobao looked at each other in surprise.
After a long time, Wang Baobao said to Zhao Min: "Your Majesty, I have fought against the rebels in Jiangnan for many years."
"This kind of siege war is inherently disadvantageous to us, so I feel that if we want to capture Jinyang, we will have to pay the price of 200,000 people."
