The current state of the Ming army in Jinyang City is what Zhao Min most wants to see.
These days, she has been paralyzing the nerves of the Ming army in the city and draining their energy.
So much so that by now, countless Yuan troops were about to carry the ladders to the foot of the city, and the Ming army defending the city had just discovered Zhao Min's true intention.
A Ming army soldier hurried to Yang Xiao's side and said, "It's bad, General. The Yuan army is attacking the city."
At this moment, Yang Xiao was resting in a temporary thatched hut at the foot of the city.
He asked the Ming army soldier: "Are you sure you saw it clearly?"
The Ming army officer quickly replied: "See clearly, Zhao Min is serious this time. Hundreds of ladders have been carried to the foot of the city by the Mongolian Tartars."
Yang Xiao was shocked and quickly stood up and ran to the top of the city wall.
After reaching the top of the city wall, cold sweat broke out on Yang Xiao's forehead. Fortunately, the Yuan army's offensive had just begun, and the Ming army soldiers defending the city were all fearless of life and death.
Although the Yuan army's offensive was fierce, fortunately, the Ming army defending the city still had a great advantage.
Yang Xiao walked to the edge of the city wall and looked down while facing countless arrows.
It was already late in the evening, and Yang Xiao only felt that the city was filled with darkness, and he couldn't tell how many people there were.
It was pitch black below the city, but the situation on top of the city was quite different.
Wang Baobao used a catapult to throw countless burning kerosene onto the top of the city wall, and the top of the city wall was illuminated as bright as day.
This is the most obvious case of darkness under the lamp. The Yuan army below the city can clearly see the Ming army on top of the city, but the Ming army on top of the city cannot see the Yuan army below the city.
Yang Xiao shouted angrily: "Quick, quick, pour our kerosene under the city and burn these Tartars to death."
For a moment, the Ming army soldiers on the city wall poured dozens of barrels of kerosene, large and small, down at the foot of the city. Then, dozens of torches were thrown down by the Ming army on the city wall.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky.
But the Yuan soldiers under the city seemed to be unafraid of the fire. They continued to advance bravely, one after another.
Many Ming army officers and soldiers were confused when they saw this.
But if they looked closely, they would find that the Yuan army under the city had already soaked their armor with cold water.
…
The last time Zhao Min attacked Jinyang, she used the same method. In order to prevent the soldiers from being burned by kerosene, she soaked their armor with cold water before attacking the city.
However, the last time this happened was in the summer, but using this method now might be better.
Because now it is winter.
When cold water is poured on armor, it will quickly freeze on it. There were even many Yuan army soldiers whose armor had tiny icicles formed on them when they rushed to the city.
According to Zhao Min, this battle is either victory or death.
Each of these Yuan army soldiers had been soaked in cold water. They could only keep themselves from freezing by charging continuously. Fortunately, when they just rushed to the foot of the city, Yang Xiao lit a fire to help them keep warm.
After seeing this scene, Yang Xiao was so angry that he cursed.
…
Zhao Min is really too smart. If it were Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min might be more difficult to deal with, but Yang Xiao is really no match for Zhao Min.
Zhao Min has been very thorough in her recent period.
The first batch of Yuan troops who charged forward had their armor soaked in cold water. If the fire did not subside, the subsequent Yuan troops would do the same.
Yang Xiao shouted angrily: "Damn it, shoot, shoot quickly, there are still hundreds of thousands of arrows in the city, quickly, kill these Tartars."
…
Yang Xiao was almost pissed to death by Zhao Min. Maybe this is how people are. The more you feel that you are no match for someone, the more annoying you will find that person.
What made Yang Xiao even more uneasy was that he had not seen Zhao Min yet.
Nowadays, looking at the entire Hexi area, no one can be Zhao Min's opponent in a one-on-one fight, but the only person who can fight with Zhao Min for more than ten rounds is probably Yang Xiao.
Zhao Min surrounded the city on all sides. Since the city was surrounded on all sides, Yang Xiao had to disperse the soldiers in the city to guard the four sides.
At this moment, a messenger quickly ran towards Yang Xiao.
The messenger shouted loudly: "General, General, something bad has happened. Zhao Min, Zhao Min has already attacked the south gate."
Yang Xiao was shocked: "Did you see it clearly?"
The messenger said: "General, it is absolutely true. I would recognize Zhao Min even if she turned into ashes."
Yang Xiao said: "Zhao Min launched an attack in the south, so has the South Gate been lost?"
The messenger said, "How is it possible? Our soldiers are all brave and fearless heroes. The Yuan army attacking the city is now blocked outside the city, except Zhao Min. But Zhao Min's cultivation is too high. We brothers can only defeat her by using large numbers of people. At this moment, there are probably two or three hundred people who died under the sword of Yitian."
Yang Xiao cursed loudly: "Damn it, people with high cultivation level are the most difficult to deal with. If we allow such people to gain a foothold on the city wall, the Yuan army below will continue to attack the city wall."
Yang Xiao knew very well that at this moment, he was the only one who could stop Zhao Min. If he did not show up, the situation would only become more and more serious.
Yang Xiao first said to the messenger: "Go quickly and convey my order to mobilize 20,000 men from the reserve forces in the city to support the South Gate."
The messenger immediately took the order and left.
Afterwards, Yang Xiao flew to a general not far away and said to him, "Brother, I have to leave this place to you for the time being. Zhao Min appeared in the south, I will go to meet her."
The lieutenant said: "Don't worry, General. I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to Your Majesty. Even if I die, I will not let these Tartars set foot in Jinyang."
After hearing this man's promise, Yang Xiao hurriedly rushed towards the south gate of Jinyang City.
At this moment, Zhao Min was already blood-thirsty. Her sword could cut through iron like mud. Coupled with her top five cultivation level in the world, there were already mountains of corpses and seas of blood under her feet.
Zhao Min was like a killing god from hell, but there were still countless Ming army soldiers who were not afraid of life and death and rushed towards her.
While waving the sword of the Heavenly Sword, Zhao Min said to herself: "Yang Xiao, please come here quickly. If you don't come, I will run out of strength."
