However, Zhu Di did not slack off. He was riding on his horse covered in blood and still arranging city defenses. "Yesudie'er became angry because of shame, and the attack will definitely become more fierce in the future."
"Hurry up to the city wall. It's still early. The bandits may not attack the city again today."
The defenders responded with a bang, no longer afraid of the so-called "more ferocious" offensive, and went up to the tower one by one with enthusiasm.
"Your Highness leads the army, he is indeed brave...but it is still too risky." Yao Guangxiao stepped forward and held Zhu Di's horse, but his words were full of fear. He originally thought that Zhu Di would go out of the city to find a small victory at most, which would dampen the vigor of the Wala army, and then he should retreat to the city. Unexpectedly, His Highness King Yan actually led a thousand people to charge directly into the Wala formation that was a hundred times larger than his own, and even almost rushed in front of the Wala Khan... Even though he was just watching from the tower, Yao Guangxiao was also It feels shocking.
"There's nothing I can do. If I don't take more risks, how can I provoke Na Yesu Die'er to pursue us fiercely?" Zhu Di turned over and dismounted. The charge just now took a lot of energy, but he staggered slightly. Yao Guangxiao quickly helped him. Standing still, Zhu Di waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and continued: "Yesudie'er has ascended the throne for the first time, and he is still young, so he will definitely not be able to swallow this breath."
"As long as my king's banner is still in Hami City, he will definitely not stop fighting until this city is broken."
By influencing the enemy's coach's character, he can make the battle develop in the direction he wants... This is called attacking the mind first.
It was the first time Zhu Di used this strategy, but he seemed very confident.
Yao Guangxiao proclaimed the Buddha's name, but he couldn't help but worry about whether the old city could hold on until the army came to help. Zhu Di saw the worry in his eyes and said: "Old monk, you don't have to worry about the city defense. I personally command, how can I defend Hami City until winter."
"But I think the problem is not with the city wall, but with the Mighty King in the palace behind... You have to help me stabilize the Mighty King. If he comes to hinder us again, this city will be really difficult. Defended."
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Yao Guang said filial piety. His sick tiger-like eyes flashed slightly. "To be honest, this poor monk may have found a way to solve the problem once and for all..."
…
Outside the city, Yesudier had already got off the high carriage and returned to the golden tent. The Oara army began to attack the city again, but it was no longer as large as in the morning. Mobilizing a large-scale infantry to attack a city requires mobilizing a large-scale army to supervise the battle. Once bitten by a snake, it was because of poor mobilization instructions in the morning that the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the loophole in Hami City and quickly died. My son is not entirely mediocre in military affairs, so he naturally refuses to use formations like that in the morning.
However, with fewer manpower, the offensive inevitably weakened somewhat. The Oara army attacked the city for a day and gained nothing.
On the other hand, the morale of the military has dropped visibly.
"Eh Xiute! They're all trash!" In the golden tent, the furious Yesudier swept all the gold cups on the table to the ground, and kicked the table to the ground, where he was kneeling in front of him. The leader in charge of attacking the city today. The leader's shoulder was hit by the heavy desk, but he did not dare to cry out in pain and continued to kneel on the ground. Yesudier angrily scolded: "I gave you 30,000 people, but you can't even attack a low city wall..."
"Tell me, when will Ben Khan be able to enter Hami City?"
"The Great Khan calms down his anger... I really don't know where this Ming army came from." The man at the head was trembling and could only keep kowtowing. The more he knelt, the angrier Yesudie'er became. She scolded him a few more times, but she stopped when she saw Haohai Dayu entering the tent. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man hurriedly ran out of the golden tent, but Haohai Dayu quickly stepped forward and came to Yesudier.
"How is it in the city?" Faced with Haohai Tatsuyu, a close minister in his old days, Yesudie'er rarely suppressed his anger.
"I have received a shooting letter from the spies in the city. It is said that there is actually no peace in the city." Haohai Dayu said. "King Weiwu already wanted to surrender, but he was suppressed by the Han national master and King Yan... However, he was in fear every day. He did not even dare to go up to the city tower, and only dared to hide in the palace in the city."
"Hmph. Our Golden Family has produced too many useless cowards like this." Yesudie'er snorted angrily. "So, as long as there is more fire, it is very likely that King Mighty and King Yan of the Ming Dynasty will kill each other..."
"Yes." Haohai Dayu nodded.
Yesudier's face finally showed some joy, and he began to pace around in the golden tent. He thought for a while and asked, "How is the tunnel excavation going?"
"My son Mahamu is still digging, but in a few days, I think I can dig into Hami City." Haohai Dayu said.
"Okay!" Yesudier was very excited. "Let Mahamu speed up the progress, and be sure to catch that King Yan off guard!"
"As soon as he hears the news that our Wala warriors have invaded the city, the mighty King of Hami will be frightened to death, and he will start fighting with the King of Yan... When the time comes, our army will advance to the city wall again, and the King of Yan will be attacked from both sides..." Yesudie Er pinched his fingers fiercely.
"That arrogant kid... Ben Khan must teach him to pay the price for what he did this morning!"
…
"...Your Highness, the mountains outside the city have become higher and higher in the past few days, and the losses of the archers on the city have become more and more heavy." On this day, after repelling another wave of Walas attacking the city, Zhu Di was listening to Mr. Wang Reports from several rangers.
Outside the city, several tall hills are standing there, which are not much higher than the walls of Hami City. You can still vaguely see the shadows of people flashing on the mountain. They are the archers arranged by the Wala people on the mountain. Originally, the Hami defenders were in a condescending position. Even though the Wala people were good at bows and arrows, the defenders were still able to shoot at each other with the help of the terrain. But now that high mountains of earth have been built outside the city, the archers on the city wall will inevitably suffer some losses if they use arrows to defend the city in the past few days.
Fortunately, there were not many people standing on the top of the mountain, and they could not change the situation.
"The teaching city used wooden boards and animal skins to make some large shields overnight. Tomorrow, each of the archer brothers will have one person. When pulling the bow, they will hide behind the shield and pull... There are several people in the king's army who are proficient in muskets. I don't know if they can move the earth mountain. Kill the Wala people. Tsk, it would be great if Lao Wu's dogs were here." Zhu Di ordered the ranger general while inspecting the city defense.
Just as he was talking, he saw Yao Guangxiao walking into the city wearing a black monk's robe. Zhu Di went to greet him and whispered: "How? Can you find the tunnel?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we followed the old wisdom of the ancients and placed clay pots on the ground every five steps. The soldiers listened carefully to the sounds inside the pots. Even what the Wala people in the ground were saying could be clearly heard." Yao Guang said filially.
"Oh, these Ola people, under the guise of digging mountains as a cover, are actually digging tunnels secretly... Our Han sages have already mastered this method thousands of years ago. It's really just a trick."
