Zhu Yuanzhang's deployment of troops was very clever.
He is also very confident about this.
An army of 500,000 cannot be gathered in one place.
He doesn't want to become the second Chen Youliang.
But what he didn't know was that Zhao Min had already sent all the elite troops in the city to the west of Dadu.
The 100,000 soldiers there are the key to whether she can successfully retreat to Zhigu Village. For this reason, how could she not pay attention to it.
In addition, two generals, Han Yulou and Duan Zihao, were guarding there. It was not easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to cut off Zhao Min's retreat with only 150,000 people.
…
On the second night, after a long artillery battle, the southern city wall of Dadu had already been riddled with holes.
Zhu Yuanzhang's troops also launched several fierce attacks, but they were all repelled by Zhao Min.
Under the city, thousands of Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers had been killed or wounded, and the corpses piled up like a mountain.
Similarly, Zhao Min was not having a good time either.
What she lacks most now is the supply of troops.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Dadu falls.
After Zhao Min took a gulp of the liquor, she thought to herself, "Zhang Wuji, where are you now, you bastard?"
"Did you meet the little girl I sent out?"
"If you don't come soon, I will definitely die."
…
Zhao Min has a very thorough understanding of the current situation.
If Dadu falls, the person who gets it must be Zhang Wuji.
If Zhang Wuji took over Dadu, his military forces in Hexi would not be able to be concentrated in one place.
Zhu Yuanzhang would not sit idly by. After all, Zhang Wuji was also his enemy, but they had not yet fallen out.
But if Zhu Yuanzhang took Dadu, it would be disastrous.
In that case, Zhang Wuji's Hexi forces would not have to be divided into two parts.
He could lead the expeditionary troops back to Jinyang first, and then fight from west to east from Longcheng.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in Dadu, fighting from east to west, attacking on two fronts with millions of troops. Zhao Min could now imagine the outcome of being unable to live or die.
At this moment, Zhang Wuji had no idea about Zhao Min's plan.
What Zhang Wuji is thinking about now is still the strategy of taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launching a surprise attack.
He could never have imagined that Zhao Min had already wanted to give up Dadu.
Zhao Min just wants to make the world more chaotic.
The more chaotic it is, the more chances she has to unify the world again.
…
On the other side, Zhang Wuji's troops were already exhausted after six or seven hours of forced march.
In response to this, Zhang Wuji had no choice but to order a rest.
Zhang Wuji and a group of generals gathered together by the campfire.
He said to the people in front of him: "Based on our current speed, most of them are no more than 300 miles away from here."
"Tomorrow, before midnight, our troops will appear under Zhao Min's nose."
"This is the third time I have been to Dadu in my life."
"But this time, I'm not going to leave."
"To achieve great things and leave a name in history, success or failure depends on this one move."
"My fellow generals, you still need to work together. When the time comes, your names will naturally be recorded in the history books of our Ming Dynasty. Even after hundreds of years, your descendants will still be proud of your heroic deeds at this moment."
"Once our Ming Dynasty has secured its throne, we will be able to save the people from danger. With your assistance, I will surely build the Ming Dynasty into a prosperous era that far surpasses the Tang and Han dynasties."
After Zhang Wuji said a few simple words, many generals and commanders present were extremely excited, some even moved to tears.
The generals present were basically all old men from the Ming Cult period.
This group of people were originally just warriors, and they never dreamed that they would have any connection with the world.
I couldn't even imagine that my name would appear in history books.
But after meeting Zhang Wuji, all these things that they had never dared to imagine became reality one after another.
After looking at each other, the generals knelt in front of Zhang Wuji.
Wei Yixiao took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the luckiest thing in my life is to be able to serve you."
"As long as I can stay by your side, I will not hesitate even if it means my death."
After Wei Yixiao's speech, everyone present said in unison: "We would not hesitate even if it means death."
At this sacred moment, only King Yin Ye felt a little regretful in his heart.
He regretted that if he had said what Wei Yixiao had just said, it would have been better.
Such an opportunity to show loyalty, but I didn't get the first chance.
Zhang Wuji is making the final mobilization before the war.
Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Linger and others were watching not far away.
Every time at this time, Zhao Linger's face would reveal an irresistible feeling of admiration.
She said to Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei: "See, this is the man I like."
"In this expedition, you will surely be able to successfully capture Dadu. From now on, you will be able to sweep across the world."
"I, Zhao Linger, am the queen of the founding emperor. The ancestors of my Zhao family will definitely be proud of me."
Yu Fei said: "That's true. Young Master is such a good person. How come I happened to meet such a good person?"
As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Zhiruo again: "Sister Zhou, it's a good thing you like to show off."
"If you hadn't pestered the young master to buy you clothes, you wouldn't have walked into my silk shop."
