The sky was gradually getting dark.
This day can be regarded as the second most difficult moment in Zhao Min's life.
The first one was the night she attempted to murder Emperor Shun of Yuan.
That night, Zhao Min first seduced him, and then used her belt to strangle the emperor to death, who was one of the top three tyrants in the list.
Zhao Min was probably the first woman to commit regicide.
The second difficult moment is today.
Sometimes, Zhao Min herself couldn’t understand why the current situation had become like this.
He had never lost a battle, but he still managed to make the situation like this.
…
Time passed slowly, and it was almost midnight.
Han Yulou walked behind Zhao Min and said, "Your Majesty, everything is almost ready, and all the generals are here."
Zhao Min nodded and said, "Once midnight is over, it is the most tiring time for normal people."
"It's time to win a battle."
Afterwards, Zhao Min came before many generals and said softly, "Generals, success or failure depends on this one move."
"If we can win this battle tonight, my Yuan Dynasty may still have a chance to turn the tables, but if we lose, I'm afraid that you won't even have the chance to return to the grassland and graze your livestock."
"Now that things have come to this, I don't want to talk to you anymore about all that nonsense about family, country and the world."
"I don't even believe those words now."
"What I want to say is that Dadu is very good and prosperous."
"Jiangnan is better, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the girls there are pretty too."
"As long as we win this battle, we will still have a chance for everything."
"By then, you can still become high-ranking officials and have many wives and concubines."
"But if we can't win, I'm afraid that all of you here and I will have a hard time dying."
One of the generals said, "Your Majesty, we understand everything you said."
"Now, the Yuan Dynasty has become like this, and the responsibility lies entirely with the emperors before you. They only cared about their own enjoyment and did not care about the people's livelihood."
"If it weren't for you, the Yuan Dynasty wouldn't have survived until today."
"There is a good saying among the Han people: A gentleman will die for his friend."
"It is an honor for us generals to be able to assist you."
"On the battlefield, we will fight to the death."
Zhao Min smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
"I have been waiting for you to say this."
"Chang Yuchun's 200,000 troops have besieged us for many days."
"For such a long time, I have been keeping silent."
"It's not that I'm afraid of a decisive battle with Chang Yuchun, but the timing was wrong before."
"Now, Xu Da, who supported Chang Yuchun, has withdrawn."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. We need to win this battle quickly."
"Half an hour later, I will launch a counterattack against Chang Yuchun from the South Gate."
"I have ordered all the hundreds of cannons in the capital city to be concentrated at the South Gate. When the time comes, the guards at the east and west gates will use the sound of the cannons as a signal."
"As soon as the cannon fires from my side, you must rush towards the enemy regardless of everything. This battle is a desperate one for us, and we must annihilate the enemy completely."
"And I will personally take off Chang Yuchun's head."
Zhao Min brought the momentum to a climax with just a few simple words.
All the generals present were eager to try.
After a while, all the generals dispersed.
Only Han Yulou remained by Zhao Min's side.
At this moment, Han Yulou also held a long sword in his hand.
For many years, for a master like him, carrying iron tools around was simply an insult to his cultivation.
But today's battle is really too important.
Even though he was a figure like the national teacher, he had to go into battle and kill the enemy himself.
Zhao Min looked up at the starry sky.
Just a moment ago, the moon was bright in the sky and the stars were shining, but now, a dark cloud covered the moon.
Zhao Min said excitedly: "Master, look, the moon is blocked."
Han Yulou looked at Zhao Min's happy expression and was suddenly stunned for a moment, but he immediately came back to his senses.
He said to Zhao Min: "Your Majesty, this is a godsend opportunity."
"The moonlight is too bright, which makes it difficult for us to sneak out of the city. Now is just the right time."
Zhao Min said: "That's true."
"Although I never believe in ghosts and gods, at this moment, I still have to thank Changshengtian."
"Tonight is very important to me."
"Pass the order and let the soldiers move."
Han Yulou said: "Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment. When the cannon sounds, you can lead the army out of the city."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Master, for so many years, you have always been behind Min'er no matter when and where. Min'er is content to have a master like you."
Han Yulou hurriedly said in panic: "Your Majesty, I have not achieved anything in my life, but you are my lifelong pride. No matter when and where, I am proud of you."
…
After a moment, the city gate slowly opened.
In order to avoid making any noise, tung oil had been poured on the gate pillars.
The bearings of the more than 300 cannons had long been filled with tung oil, and the wheels of the cannons were wrapped with cotton cloth.
Han Yulou has put a lot of thought into this.
