Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger also opened their eyes in an instant.
Zhang Wuji quickly opened the window on the city wall and looked out.
Inside Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, the lights were on, hundreds of cannons fired at the same time, and shells fell like meteors into the Ming army camp.
Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger both quickly tidied their clothes.
After Zhao Linger walked to Zhang Wuji, she said, "Young Master, the person who comes here has ill intentions. Zhu Yuanzhang has been subdued for many days. Tonight, there is bound to be a big battle."
Zhou Zhiruo asked simply: "What should we do?"
Zhang Wuji said: "There is no other way. Let the soldiers defend the city and wait for the situation to change."
After the three of them walked down the city wall, they found that Yin Yewang and Wei Yixiao were already waiting for them.
Wei Yixiao said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Yuanzhang will attack the city this time without considering the consequences. How should we respond?"
Zhang Wuji said: "Why panic? Let's do what we need to do. Let the soldiers do their jobs and fight to the death. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't blow down the walls of Dadu all at once, we can defend this city."
…
Zhu Yuanzhang's army was so powerful that he mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers in the first wave of siege alone.
The rest of his troops were also ready to go.
As long as Zhu Wenzhen, Lan Yu and others could blow a hole in the city wall, all of Zhu Yuanzhang's troops would be able to pour into Dadu like a tide.
Taking advantage of the cover of night and the sounds of shouting and killing, generals Zhu Wenzhen, Lan Yu and others had led five groups of troops and quietly moved towards the position they had locked in advance.
This time, the 100,000 jin of black fire was loaded onto a cart.
Each cart was loaded with thousands of pounds, and dozens of carts were moving forward at the same pace.
This time, Zhu Wenzhen wanted to directly blow down a city wall.
Only in this way can they give full play to their advantages of having more soldiers and generals.
Lan Yu on the side had already lit a feather arrow. When the time came, he would ignite the 100,000-jin black fire.
…
Inside the city, Zhang Wuji was commanding the battle.
But facing Zhu Yuanzhang's overwhelming troops, he still had a bad premonition.
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would only order a charge after the bombardment.
But today is completely different.
Today, Zhu Yuanzhang's artillery bombardment has not yet stopped, and his soldiers rushed up with overwhelming momentum.
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo patted her shoulder and said, "Calm down, don't panic. There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the city. The queen and I are still by your side. Nothing will happen."
Just as Zhou Zhiruo finished saying this, a deafening roar reached their ears.
Zhou Zhiruo's ears were buzzing from the vibration.
The city wall beneath her feet also began to tremble.
…
In the imperial city, Yu Fei, who had already fallen asleep, opened his eyes instantly.
The explosion just now could still be heard clearly even though it was far away in the imperial city.
Yu Fei struggled and wanted to go outside to take a look.
Han Zhao, who was sleeping next to her, quickly supported her body: "Sister Yu, don't worry, you are injured now and can't help you."
Yu Fei said: "Damn it, at such a critical moment, you can't help at all."
Zhu'er and Gong Yu, who were sleeping in the next room, also hurried out of the room.
Seeing the unwilling expression on Yu Fei's face, Gong Yu quickly said: "Sister Yu, Your Majesty is a lucky man, and he will be fine."
Yu Fei said: "If anything happens to the young master, we will all be dead."
Zhu'er said: "Of course, if Brother Wuji dies on the battlefield, we women will accompany him."
"Even in hell, I will never let him be alone."
…
The spies left behind by Zhang Dingbian around Yuan Dadu naturally also heard the explosion that resounded through the heavens and earth.
The spy thought to himself, "The fighting has started, go and report to the general."
The Ming army soldiers defending the city were already a little panicked.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to attack the city while also sending people to blow up the city walls. Hundreds of cannons were also bombarding this place continuously.
At this time, Zhao Linger also patted Zhang Wuji's shoulder and said, "Young Master, you stay here. Sister Zhiruo and I will go to see the place where the explosion occurred."
Zhang Wuji wanted to say something, but Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. My cultivation is about the same as yours. I will be fine, and I will naturally protect your Zhiruo."
Zhao Linger turned to Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Little slut, let's go."
Zhou Zhiruo just looked at Zhang Wuji with a loving look.
At this moment, all the affection is contained in this look.
After the two of them turned and left, Zhang Wuji said to Yin Yewang: "Mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses to protect the two ladies."
King Yin Ye quickly took the order and left.
Afterwards, Zhang Wuji said to Wei Yixiao: "General Wei, the matters over there will be handled by my two wives and General Yin."
"As for this side, it depends on the two of us."
Wei Yixiao said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will never retreat even if I am torn to pieces."
…
Zhu Yuanzhang divided his troops into two groups, and the group he personally led had already begun to attack the city.
Zhu Wenzhen and others blew up a hole nearly twenty meters long in the western city wall of Dadu.
This time, the entire city wall was blown down.
If Gong Yu had not suggested in advance to use rammed earth to make the city wall stronger, the current situation would have been even more serious.
Zhu Wenzhen, Lan Yu and other five generals ordered the entire army to charge the moment the explosion sounded.
There were also tens of thousands of troops rushing forward.
Everyone understood that this battle had dragged on for too long.
Since Zhao Min is not dead yet, it would be better for one of Zhang Wuji and Zhu Yuanzhang to die quickly. Only in this way can the remaining survivor fight Zhao Min to the death as soon as possible.
Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger have been fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang's troops. Every time they swing their swords, they take a life.
Unfortunately, there are too many enemies.
The nearly twenty-long gap could no longer be defended by just the two of them.
Countless enemies flashed past them quickly.
The enemy entered the city. At this moment, a trace of panic appeared on the faces of these two peerless beauties.
But at this moment, shouts and cries that resounded through the heavens and earth were heard from behind them.
Ten thousand Ming army soldiers had already rushed out from behind them.
Not far away, five generals including Zhu Wenzhen and Lan Yu also drew their weapons.
Zhu Wenzhen said: "My fellow generals, my uncle has invested a lot of money in this siege. If we fail, how can we face the people of Jiangdong?"
"Today, even if we are cut into pieces on the battlefield, we must take over this capital."
"kill".
