On the top of Dongchuan City, Inoue Xiong naturally knew that the agreed time had come, but even if it had, what could he say?
If he surrendered, he would become an eternal sinner of Japan. If he did not surrender, he would be disheartened. After all, he had lost the proof of being a man. In the future, no matter who he served, it would be meaningless.
So, at this moment, Inoue Yu was drinking like crazy despite his pain, just thinking about getting drunk. If he could drink himself to death, it might not be a bad thing.
On the top of Dongchuan City, although Inoue Yu had escaped from Zhao Min, someone had to face Zhao Min.
And that person can only be Sasaki.
Sasaki came to the top of the city wall very reluctantly. At a glance, he saw two stunning beauties accompanying Zhang Wuji.
As the saying goes, comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away. Since Inoue Yu lost his credentials as a man, he gave the several beauties and geishas he brought with him to Sasaki. At the beginning, Sasaki also thought that those beauties and geishas were all good girls, but at this moment, since he met Zhao Min, he felt that the women Inoue Yu gave him were simply not comparable to Zhao Min. What's more, there was a girl who was no worse than Zhao Min right next to Zhang Wuji.
At this moment, Sasaki just felt that Zhang Wuji should be the happiest man in the world. With such a beauty by his side, it doesn't matter whether he is an emperor or not. Even if he lives hiding in some deep mountains and forests, it may not be a bad thing.
…
Sasaki tried to calm himself down. In fact, he was also unsure. After a great battle some time ago, he was very sure that he was no match for Zhao Min. Even if there were tens of thousands of defeated soldiers guarding Dongchuan, it was impossible for them to withstand the Ming army.
But even if they couldn't resist, what could they do? Someone still had to do something. The Japanese had lived on this land for thousands of years. Could it be that they were really going to become slaves of a conquered nation?
"Zhao Min, my commander-in-chief is of such high status that you can't just see him whenever you want. He even had the audacity to ask us Japanese soldiers to surrender. What are you thinking? My commander-in-chief said that if you are willing to marry him, perhaps he will show mercy to you after your defeat..."
"How dare you!" Zhao Min shouted angrily, "Since you said the words 'I will pledge my life to you', Dongchuan City has become a dead city."
"You are all a bunch of idiots with your brains in your pants. You even dare to covet my beauty. After I break into the city, I will kill you all without leaving a single survivor."
After saying this, Zhao Min no longer paid any attention to Sasaki, but rode back to her own camp with Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo.
"Yang Xiao, fire the cannon immediately and bombard me all night first."
After hearing Zhao Min's order, Yang Xiao felt relieved.
He was really worried that Zhao Min would get angry and directly order an attack on the city.
It is not impossible to attack such a high city wall by force, but the casualties would be very heavy. Moreover, even if the casualties were heavy, it might not be possible to attack it. Therefore, it is safer to use cannonballs to bombard it for a night.
Yang Xiao immediately fired cannons to attack the city, but at this moment, Zhao Min called King Yin Ye to her side again.
"What are your orders, Marshal?"
Zhao Minyan said: "If we rely solely on cannonballs to break down such a solid city wall, it will probably take ten days or half a month to break down one side of the wall."
"Let Yang Xiao smash it for a night, and you calculate how much gunpowder is left after deducting the gunpowder we need to launch the cannonballs. If there is a lot left, you can make them into explosive packs, just like what Zhu Yuanzhang did to you many years ago when I gave most of it to you and his army was at the gates of the city."
As soon as King Yin Ye heard this, he understood what Zhao Min meant.
"Gunpowder to blow up the city walls, a good idea."
"But why not just use gunpowder? Why use cannonballs to bombard it all night?"
Zhao Minyan said: "It's because the city wall is too thick. Let's throw the cannonballs at it all night, at least it will make the wall loosen up a little. Then if we use gunpowder later, we can get twice the result with half the effort."
King Yin Ye no longer had any doubts and turned around to do his work.
However, at this moment, Yu Fei cast a resentful look at Zhao Min.
If it were Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min would not care at all, but it was different for Yu Fei. After all, Yu Fei had saved Zhao Min's life during the naval battle with the Japanese.
For someone like Zhao Min, saving a life is a huge matter.
"Sister Yu, why are you looking at me like that? I haven't done anything to offend you."
"Yu Feiyan said, you didn't do anything to offend me, that's just what you think."
"You mentioned Dadu before, which reminded me that when you gave up Dadu, it was clearly a trap to let you and Zhu Yuanzhang fight to the death. As a result, I almost died in that battle to defend the city. The arrow wound on my body was left at that time."
Zhao Min's eyes widened immediately: "Sister, it's unreasonable for you to say that. How can you blame me for this kind of thing?"
Yu Fei said angrily: "I know that I am too narrow-minded to have such thoughts, but I just can't help but think about it. I just feel that it is not too bad."
Zhao Min also felt a little speechless, but Yu Fei was the one who saved her life after all, and Zhao Min couldn't say anything too tough like Zhou Zhiruo, so after thinking about it, she said: "Well, since my sister wants to put that thing on my head, then I will accept it. It's my fault that I owe you. You can do whatever you want, and I won't say a word."
Yu Feiyan said: "That's not necessary. I'm not a petty person. I'm just a little angry that you used tricks on me back then. After all, you almost killed me, but you didn't do it on purpose. What's more, we were enemies at that time."
"After all, it's all in the past. I'm just angry for a while. Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to you behind your back. Let's just stay like before. It will be boring if you always feel like you owe me."
Zhao Min smiled slightly: "Sister Yu is really generous, unlike some people."
As Zhao Min spoke, she glared at Zhou Zhiruo fiercely.
Zhou Zhiruo was also helpless: "Zhao Min, what are you looking at? Why do you give me the cold look again? I quarrel with you every day, day after day. I have provoked you. I am different from Sister Yu. You'd better be careful. Sooner or later, I will make you bow to me. Sooner or later, I will make you kneel in front of me."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Your idea is good. People should always have some goals in life. But your goal is a bit big. Let's try it and see who kneels in front of me first, or I kneel in front of you first."
