Although it was night, Zhang Wuji, standing on the city wall of Dadu, could still clearly see tiny dots of fire gathering towards the west of Dadu.
Zhang Wuji's heart couldn't help but get nervous again.
According to previous reports from the soldiers, no less than 50,000 enemy troops have gathered to the west of Dadu.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has increased his troops again, the pressure from the west will surely increase exponentially.
Zhang Wuji quickly said to a messenger beside him: "Quick, mobilize another 10,000 soldiers from the city to support the Queen."
The messenger said: "Your Majesty, now there are only 10,000 reserve troops left in the city."
Zhang Wuji said: "Stop talking nonsense and go and pass the message."
"If we wait for Zhu Yuanzhang's troops to enter the city, let alone ten thousand, even if there are one hundred thousand, we will undoubtedly be defeated."
…
Just as the messenger went to convey Zhang Wuji's holy order, Wei Xiangjun and Yang Buhui also returned to Zhang Wuji's side again.
Wei Xiangjun said in a panic: "Zhang Wuji, there are too many enemies, we can't kill them all, what should we do?"
Yang Buhui hurriedly said to Wei Xiangjun: "Girl, shut up. Now is not the time to be afraid of death."
Then she turned to Zhang Wuji and said, "Brother Wuji, don't worry, we will definitely be able to defend this capital city."
"I have confidence in you, and I also have confidence in Sister Queen and Sister Zhou."
"Besides, my guess is that our reinforcements should be arriving soon, perhaps in just one or two days."
"On my way to Dadu, I met General Zhang's troops. He is strict in military discipline and his soldiers are in high spirits."
"As long as we can fight to the death to resist Zhu Yuanzhang's offensive, we will definitely have a chance to turn the tables."
Zhang Wuji looked at Yang Buhui with great satisfaction and said: "Girl, you speak very nicely."
"I have noted down the contributions of both of you today."
"When the war subsides a little, I will reward you according to your merits."
Yang Buhui smiled and said, "I don't want your reward. My father told me when I came here."
"He told me not to fight for anything. As long as I can stay by your side, nothing else matters."
Zhang Wuji said in surprise: "You girl, your heart is very honest. Your open-minded character is somewhat similar to Zhu'er."
Yang Buhui said: "Hasn't it always been like this for us in the Ming Cult?"
"As long as Brother Wuji is willing to treat me sincerely, I will be open-hearted to you."
Wei Xiangjun, who was standing by, rolled his eyes as he listened.
Wei Xiangjun was confused. Yang Buhui and Zhang Wuji had only met a few times, but she seemed to have fallen deeply in love with him. Wei Xiangjun despised this kind of affection that came to her without any prior effort.
…
On the other side, Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Linger and others had been fighting here for more than two hours. In Zhou Zhiruo's memory, this was the first time she had fought for such a long time.
Zhou Zhiruo's jade hand holding the sword was already trembling slightly. If Zhao Linger hadn't been taking care of her, she would have probably met with an accident long ago.
Although Zhao Linger was still handling the situation with ease at this moment, her two swords were constantly making a buzzing sound. For so many years, today was the day she killed the most people.
Zhou Zhiruo hurried to Zhao Linger's side: "Sister, are you okay?"
Zhao Linger said: "Don't worry, sister is fine. No one can kill me before the young master unifies the world."
The 30,000 elite soldiers that Zhu Yuanzhang had just sent had already arrived at the front of the battle, and the 10,000 troops sent by Zhang Wuji had also rushed out.
Zhou Zhiruo said: "That enemy is really afraid that the two of us will die, so most of the troops have been sent to us. I don't know how things are going over there now."
Zhao Linger said: "We are all the young master's favorite women. If the young master still has any weakness, it must be us."
"But sister, you don't have to worry too much. Zhu Yuanzhang's main attack direction will definitely be on our side. As for the young master, even if he is the only one left, he will definitely be able to handle it."
"You and my man are not so easily defeated."
"What you and I have to do now is to protect ourselves while guarding this city for you."
"This is Dadu. In hundreds of years, you are the first one to recapture this place."
"If something goes wrong at this time, I, Zhao Linger, will never forgive myself for the rest of my life."
At this moment, another wave of arrows attacked them.
Zhao Linger flew up again, and her two scimitars, like two whirlwinds, blocked Zhou Zhiruo.
In the past two hours, Zhou Zhiruo could no longer remember how many times Zhao Linger had stood in front of her.
Perhaps it was not until this moment that Zhou Zhiruo realized that having a sister was actually quite good.
She thought to herself, "It seems that in the future, when encountering problems, I have to consider Zhao Linger's position more, otherwise I will be unworthy of her kindness today."
…
Zhao Linger once again blocked hundreds of arrows by herself.
It seems easy, but in fact Zhao Linger is almost reaching her limit. Although her swordsmanship is domineering, it consumes a lot of internal energy. If she continues like this, she is afraid that she will not be able to hold on for too much longer.
…
Zhu Wenzhen and Lan Yu were also about to fall into a state of madness.
In total, 80,000 soldiers were mobilized, but they still could not capture the capital city which was so close.
Zhu Wenzhen roared hysterically: "Kill, kill those two women. Today, whoever can take the heads of Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger, this general is willing to give away all my property and everything I have."
"Kill, shoot, kill these two women, kill these two women."
…
After a while, Zhang Dingbian, who had been lying in ambush in the dark, looked up at the sky.
"Almost there."
Then, Zhang Dingbian suddenly mounted the warhorse beside him.
He shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me, we will go straight to Zhu Yuanzhang's central military camp. As long as we can take Zhu Yuanzhang's head, then our Ming Dynasty will be able to conquer the world."
"Soldiers, follow me and kill..."
The Ming army soldiers who were ambushed here finally waited for General Zhang Dingbian.
In the past two hours, they had endured so much, but finally, at this moment, they were released.
The shouts of killing resounded throughout the world in an instant, and more than 100,000 Ming army soldiers rushed towards Zhu Yuanzhang's central military camp.
…
About a quarter of an hour later, a sentry under Zhu Yuanzhang's command hurried to report to him: "Your Majesty, something is wrong."
"There are about 100,000 Ming troops rushing towards us at a high speed."
"The Ming army is only two miles away from here."
"Your Majesty, quickly recall the troops to guard the camp, otherwise it will be too late."
