At this moment, Yin Yewang and Wei Yixiao were also engaged in a life-and-death battle.
Although their cultivation was not weak, they were already showing their inability to cope with the enemy forces that were dozens of times their number.
There are still tens of thousands of Ming army soldiers in the city, but these tens of thousands of soldiers cannot leave the city to rescue the city.
Once they leave the city, Zhu Yuanzhang's hundreds of thousands of troops will be mobilized upon hearing the news.
In that case, the Ming army would undoubtedly be defeated.
Therefore, only a small number of Ming army's death squads could go out of the city to resist, and the soldiers inside the city took the opportunity to plug the gaps opened by the explosion.
By doing so, casualties would be reduced and Zhu Yuanzhang would not be given an opportunity to take advantage.
But the only drawback was that those soldiers who went out of the city to resist basically never returned.
Just when Wei Yixiao was in a critical moment, Zhang Wuji suddenly appeared beside him.
Wei Yixiao, who was trapped in a tight siege, was so moved that he burst into tears after seeing that tall figure.
There have been few emperors throughout history who could personally rescue their subjects.
Wei Yixiao couldn't help but sigh: "What a good emperor who values love and friendship. It's worth it for me to give him my precious daughter."
While waving the sword in his hand, Zhang Wuji shouted to Wei Yixiao, "General Wei, go quickly."
Wei Yixiao's Qinggong skills are quite good, and with Zhang Wuji's protection, he finally had a chance to escape.
On the other side, Zhao Linger also rushed to the side of King Yin Ye.
She was seen holding the knife in both hands, dancing with the wind, and she was unstoppable wherever she went.
"General Yin, let's go back to the city."
After saying this, the murderous aura on Zhao Linger's body increased several times.
His god-of-death appearance frightened Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers so much that they dared not move forward.
Yin Yewang was also a martial artist. At this moment, he truly realized how terrifying Zhao Linger was. At this moment, Zhao Linger should be no less powerful than Zhang Wuji.
With such a person in control of the Ming Dynasty's harem, no one can make any waves.
King Yin Ye thought to himself, "It seems that I have to make my daughter behave herself from now on."
"If I accidentally offend the Queen, I'm afraid she won't even know how she died."
…
The battle that Zhu Yuanzhang had high hopes for ended just like that.
In this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang's army did not suffer heavy casualties, but the final result disappointed him.
With fifty thousand pounds of black fire and fifty thousand men, despite having such a great advantage, they did not achieve any results at all.
This is intolerable.
The furious Zhu Yuanzhang called all five of his generals into his central military tent.
"Incompetent, incompetent..."
Zhu Yuanzhang roared desperately.
But none of Lan Yu, Zhu Wenzhen and others dared to answer.
Because they themselves also feel that they are quite incompetent.
The deep sense of self-blame and incompetence has made them too embarrassed to defend themselves.
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his gaze to his good nephew again.
"Wen Zheng, don't think that it will be okay if you don't speak."
"Tell me first why we lost this battle."
Zhu Wenzheng saw that since his name had been called, he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Zhu Wenzhen said: "Uncle, in this battle, the five of us have not achieved any success, we really deserve to die."
"But no matter what, although we did not win this time, fortunately, it can't be said that we were defeated."
"We blew a total of five holes in the city wall of Dadu, but Zhang Wuji sent out the five most capable men under his command."
"Let's divide and attack separately. Zhang Wuji has actually adopted the same strategy."
"The failure to win this battle is entirely my fault. Please give me another chance."
"This time, my nephew wants 100,000 kilograms of black fire."
"My nephew wants to blow down the entire city wall of Dadu. In this way, even if Zhang Wuji has many masters around him, they will not be able to resist our army of hundreds of thousands."
"One hundred thousand catties of black fire!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in astonishment: "Today alone, you have used up sixty thousand catties of black fire, and now you want another one hundred thousand catties."
"Do you really think that thing is the mud in the river?"
"Refining black fire takes time."
Zhu Wenzhen said: "Uncle, I know that it takes time to refine black fire."
"But right now, we can't seem to come up with a better solution."
"With our current military strength, it is not impossible to attack Dadu by force."
"If we do that, I'm afraid it will cost the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers."
"Now, Zhao Min of the Yuan court has only retreated to Zhigu Village."
"What we have to do now is to kill Zhang Wuji with the least possible casualties. As long as we kill Zhang Wuji, we will have no worries."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Okay, then I will give you another 100,000 kilograms of black fire. However, it will take several days to transport these 100,000 kilograms of black fire from Jiangnan. If you fail to take Dadu, I will take your heads."
…
After hearing this, Zhu Wenzhen and others breathed a sigh of relief.
After walking out of Zhu Yuanzhang's central military tent, Zhu Wenzhen said to Lan Yu: "General Lan, did you let us win in the battle just now?"
Lan Yu was stunned for a moment: "General Zhu, what do you mean?"
Zhu Wen Zheng said: "It's nothing. I'm just afraid of General Lan. I can't bear to kill the women around Zhang Wuji, thus delaying my uncle's important matter."
Lan Yu quickly said: "General Zhu, I am not saying this casually. I, Lan Yu, may be a little bit lustful in normal times, but when it comes to military and national affairs, I can still distinguish the difference."
"What's more, I have said long ago that we cannot control the women around Zhang Wuji. Since I can't get them, why should I show mercy to them?"
Lan Yu's words touched Zhu Wen Zheng's heart, but even so, Zhu Wen Zheng still couldn't understand it.
All five groups of troops returned empty-handed. This result is really a bit embarrassing.
…
On the other side, inside the imperial city of Yuan Dadu.
At this moment, Yu Fei was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale.
Zhou Zhiruo said with great heartache: "Sister, when Zhao Min left, she took away all the imperial doctors in the imperial city."
"On the way back just now, I randomly grabbed two country doctors."
Yu Fei took a look at the two doctors and said, "Why are they two men? Tell them to get out."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Sister, a doctor is of course a man. Since ancient times, how many female doctors have you seen?"
"It's already this time, stop being picky."
Yu Fei said: "No, I am seriously injured. I need to take off my clothes to heal. My body is not something that other men can see."
"Sister Zhou, please get them out of here."
