Every battle requires countless cool heads to respond calmly and calmly to the current situation.
Although Gong Yu was a woman, her calmness at the moment surpassed almost all the generals.
This may also be because she has followed Chen Youliang for many years.
People always say that those who keep company with vermilion will be red, and those who keep company with ink will be black. Even an ordinary citizen, if he follows a hero, can still be influenced by his domineering aura.
This is what Gong Yu is like at the moment.
Few of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers knew her, but for some unknown reason, they all obeyed every word she said.
Countless Flying Tiger Hooks were hooked onto the huge structures built by Zhao Min.
Every time a soldier storage tower, nearly four meters high, fell down, it would raise billowing dust and flames.
On the city wall, both the Yuan and Ming armies were fighting to the death.
Under the city, a surging Yuan army gathered.
Gong Yu shouted loudly: "Soldiers, hurry up and destroy these things."
…
Zhao Min spent several days building hundreds of troop towers, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.
But now, there are only more than ten castles still standing under the city of Jinyang.
The rest were all destroyed under Gong Yu's command.
At this moment, Zhao Min really wanted to take her sword, rush to the top of the city wall and fight a life-and-death battle with Zhang Wuji, but her remaining rationality suppressed her impulse.
Generals Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao had already rushed forward. At this moment, I was the backbone of this army of hundreds of thousands.
Sun Tzu's Art of War says, "Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, aggressive as fire, immovable as a mountain."
Zhao Min knew very well that all the generals in the army were out, and at this moment she had to remain as still as a mountain.
…
Another tens of thousands of troops attacked the city.
Unfortunately, there are only a few of their troop storage towers left.
Those Yuan soldiers were still climbing up using ladders.
Most places under the city were still burning with raging fire.
Fortunately, Zhao Min asked her soldiers to soak their armor with clean water, otherwise, these Yuan troops might not even be able to get through the city.
On the top of the city wall, Yang Xiao, the commander-in-chief, knew that they couldn't continue wasting time like this.
If we continue fighting like this, sooner or later something unexpected will happen. We must end this battle as soon as possible.
Yang Xiao hurriedly said to the messenger beside him: "Quick, tell the soldiers under the city to form a formation and push these Yuan soldiers down."
A moment later.
Thousands of Ming soldiers holding huge shields formed a long formation on the top of the city wall.
They relied on the huge shields in their hands and pressed forward desperately.
The soldiers behind him used their spears to assassinate the Yuan soldiers on the city wall.
In the Yuan army camp, Zhao Min, standing on a high platform, saw all of this.
She ordered one of her lieutenants, "Catapult, throw the explosives onto the top of the city wall."
The lieutenant general hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if we do this, our people will be hurt."
Zhao Min said viciously: "I don't care about that anymore. Tell the soldiers to throw the bullets accurately. If we drag it on, our advantage will be gone."
…
In a flash, Zhao Min threw countless explosives onto the top of the city wall.
At this moment, the top of the city wall was almost filled with Ming army soldiers, and the number of Yuan army soldiers was only a few hundred.
Therefore, the explosives thrown by Zhao Min did cause great casualties to the Ming army soldiers.
Seeing this scene, Yang Xiao, the commander, was heartbroken, but he had no better solution.
He could only shout loudly: "Soldiers, don't panic, don't be afraid, this general is with you, quickly suppress this group of Yuan soldiers, and we will have meat and wine tonight."
Even though the explosives thrown by Zhao Min fell on the city walls like raindrops, the Ming army soldiers on the city walls were still not afraid of life and death.
They held the huge shields in their hands and pushed forward desperately to suppress the Yuan army.
There were not many Yuan troops on the city wall, and the troop towers built by Zhao Min were basically destroyed. There was still a raging fire burning under the city. With the obstruction of the fire, the Yuan soldiers under the city were able to attack the city slowly.
Gradually, the Ming army soldiers on the city wall regained absolute advantage.
Many Yuan soldiers have been pushed off the city wall.
Seeing this, Zhang Wuji also breathed a sigh of relief.
He made a powerful feint with his sword and repelled Duan Zihao, then said to Yu Fei and Zhou Zhiruo, "Retreat quickly and don't get entangled with him."
The three of them quickly flew up.
Explosives continued to fly towards the top of the city like raindrops.
Just when Zhang Wuji and the other two had just gained their footing, a bag of explosives flew over their heads.
Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei subconsciously put their bodies in front of Zhang Wuji. This was an action they made without thinking.
In the hearts of these two women, they can be hurt or even die, but the men around them cannot be hurt in the slightest.
But at this moment, a strong wind flashed past from behind Zhang Wuji, and a steel knife flew out of his hand, directly splitting the medicine bag into two.
"Your Majesty, I am still somewhat useful. For what happened just now, each of you three owes me a favor. What do you think?"
Zhang Wuji looked back and found Gong Yu standing not far behind him.
He said in surprise: "Miss Gong, why are you still here?"
Gong Yu said jokingly: "It's because I'm worried about you."
At this moment, Yang Xiao also came to Zhang Wuji's side.
Yang Xiao said to Zhang Wuji, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have frightened you. The Yuan army no longer has the slightest advantage. Please take a rest and leave the rest to me."
Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Yang."
Afterwards, Zhang Wuji said to Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei, "Let's go to the city wall and have some rest."
Gong Yu on the side quickly said: "Your Majesty, can I, can I go up with you to take a look?"
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Of course, I have already remembered Miss Gong's kindness today."
"In the future, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
…
The Ming army in Jinyang has gradually gained absolute advantage.
The Yuan army on the city walls had basically been pushed down.
Zhao Min saw everything here.
She sighed helplessly.
"well……".
Zhao Min said to a general, "Pass the order and sound the retreat."
In an instant, the sound of the horn reached the ears of every Yuan soldier.
On the top of the city wall, Duan Zihao swung the long sword in his hand vigorously, and the lives of four or five more Ming army soldiers ended under his sword.
Duan Zihao also sighed helplessly.
He knew very well in his heart that if he failed to capture Jinyang today, it would be even more difficult in the future.
