Nanjing City.
On the towering tower, Lu Yu and Zhou Yu were sitting. Lu Yu was wearing armor, with a solemn expression, and his eyes were firm and calm, standing motionless like a sculpture. He is the prince of the prison country and the backbone of everyone.
Lu Yu did not need to interfere in the fighting on the battlefield. He only needed to stand on the tower. The defending soldiers would have fighting spirit and be willing to resist desperately.
What's more, the news of Lu Xuan's return has spread in Nanjing City. With the news of Lu Xuan, the soldiers were united and fought with all their strength. No matter how the coalition forces brought by Washington attacked, Nanjing's defense remained unmoved and unaffected.
Zhou Yu stood beside Lu Yu and steadily directed the soldiers to fight.
In the past few days, in order to capture the city of Nanjing, Washington deployed more and more attacking troops and the offensive became more and more fierce, hoping to capture the city in one go. However, the current Nanjing City's defense has always been solid, and the popularity of the city is even higher than before.
Even if Washington wanted to seize the city, there was nothing he could do.
When Zhou Yu was directing the war, a soldier suddenly ran over in a hurry and said something to his side.
Zhou Yu was in high spirits, looked at Lu Yu aside, and said quickly: "Prince, I just received news that His Majesty's army has landed from Nanjing Ferry and is on its way to Nanjing City."
"In addition, Gan Ning, Wenpin, Zhang Xiu, and Li Tong each led their troops to rush for reinforcements and are already close to the capital. In at most a quarter of an hour, the army will arrive and start attacking from the surrounding areas to encircle and suppress the coalition forces."
"According to the speed at which His Majesty is traveling, His Majesty's army will arrive in at most an hour."
"Our army is back."
Zhou Yu's voice rose slightly, his expression was excited, and he said excitedly: "From the arrival of the coalition forces in Washington to the current defense, after defending for such a long time, we can finally switch from offense to defense. In other words, now that the offense and defense have changed, it is our turn to attack. .”
Lu Yu was in high spirits, punched the city wall with his fist, let out a long breath, and said happily: "We're finally here."
Zhou Yu said: "I suggest that the prince evacuate the city temporarily, because after the reinforcements arrive and launch an attack, I will order the city gates to be opened for a full-scale counterattack. By then, it is very likely that some fish that have slipped through the net will enter the city, which may affect the prince."
Lu Yu shook his head and said firmly: "No, I will still stay and sit on the tower to command. When it was so dangerous before, I have always stood firm. If there is a counterattack, it is unnecessary to evacuate."
Zhou Yu did not force it, but nodded and said, "The prince is unwilling, so be careful."
Lu Yu confidently said: "Just make arrangements with the Governor, don't worry about me."
Zhou Yu nodded and waited quietly.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yu unsheathed his sword, looked at all the soldiers around him, and said loudly: "Soldiers, His Majesty is back, and our Ming garrison has also returned to help."
"After defending for such a long time, we endured the grievances, suppressed the anger, and controlled the sadness. Now, we can finally stop suppressing our emotions because we are going to counterattack."
"Today is the time to counterattack the coalition forces."
"All blood debts must be repaid today."
"Kill the enemy!"
Zhou Yu cut down the sword in his hand and said loudly: "Open the city gate and fight out."
"Kill out!"
Taishi Ci shouted loudly behind Zhou Yu.
He is the Minister of the Ministry of War and is in charge of the Ministry of War. This time Zhou Yu took charge of the overall situation, while Taishi Ci was responsible for the specific defense. Wherever there was a flaw in the city tower, Taishi Ci would lead his men to kill them to ensure the stability of Nanjing's city defense.
Taishi Ci came down from the tower, wearing armor, riding a horse and holding a gun, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Behind Tai Shici, the cavalry looked solemn.
Behind the cavalry was the mighty infantry formation in the city. All the infantry were wearing armor and looked impressive. The morale of these soldiers was extremely high. They all knew that this was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and they all wanted to win this battle.
Crunch!
The city gate opened, revealing the coalition forces attacking outside the city.
A gleam flashed across Taishi Ci's eyes, and when the suspension bridge was slowly lowered and just about to land, he spurred his horse and charged. The six thousand cavalry also advanced instantly, followed Taishi Ci's leaping horse charge, and launched a fierce attack.
The cavalry rushed out of the city, and Taishi Ci danced with his spear, constantly killing the enemies in front, suppressing the offensive of the coalition forces. Behind Tai Shici, each of the cavalrymen waved their swords, and the swords fell on the coalition soldiers.
Cavalry versus infantry, under the premise of a fierce charge of cavalry, the moment it breaks into the coalition forces, the most lethal force is unleashed.
The sudden advance sent the coalition troops scurrying around.
After the first wave of cavalry offensive broke out, the lethality weakened slightly. If a large number of coalition forces surround the cavalry and prevent the cavalry from continuing to charge, the cavalry will be easily annihilated.
However, Taishi Ci sprinted fiercely and kept rushing forward, boosting the morale of the cavalry and not being blocked. In addition, behind the cavalry, a large number of Ming infantrymen had already come out with swords to kill.
The presence of the Ming army infantry played a role in containing the coalition forces, reducing the pressure on Taishi Ci's 6,000 cavalry, allowing the cavalry to further sprint and form an offensive.
The Ming army counterattacked, and it didn't take long to suppress the coalition's offensive. They quickly pushed forward and pushed the fighting front out of the battlefield little by little. The coalition forces retreated bit by bit. Although they were temporarily outnumbered, only a portion of their forces participated in the battle.
In fact, there are countless coalition soldiers arrayed near Washington, all of whom have not yet participated in the war.
Just like this, Washington got the gate of Nanjing opened and the army in the city came out. He couldn't help laughing.
Washington was overjoyed.
Lu Yu is young after all.
Washington looked at the people around him and said loudly: "Everyone, here comes our opportunity to capture Nanjing, our opportunity to distribute money, and our opportunity to rob women. After all, Lu Yu is young and his temper is not calm enough. He cannot hold back. Anxious mood.”
"If Lu Yu keeps defending, we will spend a lot of energy attacking the city. We will need enough patience and enough time to have a chance to break Nanjing City."
"Now, Lu Yu can't bear the pressure of being attacked every day and directly sends troops to fight us. This is our opportunity. This time, we must win in one go, capture Lu Yu, and capture the city of Nanjing."
Speaking of this, Washington had a greedy look in his eyes and said loudly: "I heard that the nobles of the Ming Dynasty liked to take wives and concubines, and there were countless charming wives and concubines in their families. These women were graceful, petite and exquisite, and very seductive. people."
"Today, we take Nanjing."
"The women in Nanjing City, these noble ladies, will fall under us and be ravaged by us. Do you think we should break Nanjing City and seize these women?"
Washington knew one thing very well: ordinary methods to stimulate his generals and soldiers were useless.
Money and women!
These are the two most important conditions.
Only with the stimulation of a woman can the soldiers sprint with all their might.
"Mr. President, please give me an order. We will definitely break through Nanjing and seize these people's women."
"Please give the order, Mr. President!"
"Please order Mr. Washington!"
One by one, the coalition commanders went crazy. Although the Ming army counterattacked and the offensive was fierce, there were enough soldiers in the coalition forces that they were not afraid of Lu Yu's desperate counterattack.
"Report!"
When everyone's fighting spirit was high, a soldier looked a little anxious and quickly came to Washington's side.
The soldier reported: "Mr. President, something bad is going on. To the west of Nanjing City, an elite force suddenly appeared and came towards us. This army was moving fast, and there was no news of its whereabouts before. It appeared very suddenly. .The opponent’s strength is approximately 20,000 to 30,000 people.”
Washington frowned.
Why is there anyone else?
Could it be that the reinforcements Lu Yu requested have arrived? If so, it can also explain why Lu Yu took the initiative to fight.
Washington sneered inwardly.
Lu Yu is too naive.
Do you think that just 20,000 to 30,000 reinforcements coming to the battlefield can save the situation and solve the current crisis?
That is impossible.
"Report! Report! Report!!!"
Shouts came one after another. Washington looked up and saw three sentinels with frightened expressions and hysterical shouting. They came back in his direction almost at the same time.
