The moment Xu Da left, Wang Jing, who was enjoying the cheers of the entire army, sensed this and headed towards the city ahead again.
"Something's wrong!"
Jurong City has been repaired by the Liu Song and Ming Dynasties. The formations alone have several layers, just like the formations in Chinese myths and legends.
When the enemy is in the city, it is equivalent to standing in the formation. The attacking party will be weakened when entering the formation, while the opponent can be blessed by the formation. The strength is greatly increased.
This is one of the reasons why the Ming army had relatively few strong men, but was able to withstand the Xia army's offensive by relying on its stubborn defense.
In addition, the formation also has a strong ability to conceal Qi.
The luck and luck that Wang Jing just saw were relatively vague.
It can only be confirmed that Xu Da is still guarding the city. Other situations are more hazy.
However, if there are huge changes in the city, he can generate some reactions with his strong spiritual power.
He sensed something was wrong now.
but. It doesn't matter, now the army is about to launch an attack on Jurong City. With more than 300,000 elite soldiers of the Xia army, there are more ninth-level experts than the opponent.
No matter what method Xu Da used, he always used an egg to hit a stone in front of this army that was able to suppress it steadily.
Uh-huh!
Wang Jing drew out his long sword and waved it forward.
"Attack!"
boom!
After Wang Jing gave the order, Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Dayan, who were already at the front of the army, immediately mobilized all their strength. Thunder roared in the sky and flames surged.
The two ninth-level generals each activated the power of law they mastered and ran towards the city wall.
Behind them, each had three hundred white-eared elite soldiers. As well as 10,000 ordinary soldiers pushing siege vehicles and ladders.
kill!
There was no special routine for the Xia army's siege. It was still the same as before. First they were bombarded by trebuchets, then covered with arrows, and then they attacked the city with ladders.
Yuwen Chengdu held a gold-plated phoenix wing, and was accompanied by three hundred elites of special forces. He personally acted as the first climber. As soon as the ladder was set up, he roared and turned into lightning.
There was a flash of brilliance.
He appeared on the top of Jurong City, his weapons swept past, and the electric light exploded. The endless electric light was like the sharpest blade, clearing away a large area of soldiers on the city head.
With him, a ninth-level warrior, acting as the vanguard, the white-ear elite soldiers who followed quickly followed up and rushed to the top of the city, firmly occupying a stronghold on the city wall.
As long as they guard this place, the follow-up troops will continue to surge in...
"What's going on? Where is Xu Da? Where is Yu Daxian?"
When Yuwen Chengdu rushed to the top of the city, his muscles were tense, secretly brewing the power of the thunder and lightning law, and he was ready to receive the bombardment from the Ming army general at any time.
The shot I took just now was a three-point shot, leaving seven points.
But what made him a little surprised was that the expected attack did not appear.
Yuwen Chengdu couldn't help but look suspicious on his face.
At this time, Yang Dayan, who was also on the top of the city, was also a little confused, but his instinct as a general quickly reacted and immediately shouted: "The enemy general has fled, and you still haven't surrendered!"
His fighting spirit suddenly burst into flames, while he attacked and kept shouting.
He could harvest a large number of Ming soldiers every time he made a move, but there were still a large number of Ming soldiers swooping in regardless of life and death, wanting to use their lives to delay time.
Their loyalty to Ming Dynasty is obvious.
But when they heard Yang Dayan's roar and turned their heads to look in the direction of the city gate tower, the figure that originally looked as towering as a mountain actually disappeared.
The chief general and general of the Ming army seemed to have really escaped as the general of the Xia army said!
Be aware of this situation.
The morale of the Ming soldiers on the city wall dropped sharply.
In the Xia army's formation in the distance, Wang Jing, Gao Xi, Zhang Juzheng and others were all using their skills to observe the movements of the city from a distance. They can also hear Yang Dayan's roar
"This... Xu Da really escaped?"
Zhang Juzheng's always serious expression couldn't help but crack at this time.
He had a very good understanding of Xu Da's abilities and character, and knew that he was the number one in the Ming Dynasty.
Jiang is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Not to mention that they would not abandon Jurong's two to three hundred thousand troops and escape.
If he is really not in Jurong, there is only one reason.
"Zhu Yuanzhang is really decisive. If he doesn't want the more than 200,000 troops in Jurong City, he won't... No, not just Jurong, I'm afraid he won't even want Jinling City!"
Gao Xi took a breath and said in shock.
The other generals who followed Wang Jing and Gao Xi and did not go into battle, as well as the civil servants in the army, looked at each other after hearing these words, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
This shocking emotion even made them a little uncontrollable, and they hummed in a low voice regardless of their manners.
There are two to three hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Jurong and Jinling, and nearly ten million soldiers and civilians inside and outside the city. This is already the size of a medium-sized force elsewhere.
But Zhu Yuanzhang could make up his mind and abandon it directly.
Even Gao Xi had to admire the other party.
Wang Jing did not speak. His mood also fluctuated a bit, but he quickly calmed down because he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of a country, could create a dynasty in countless dangers.
One of the necessary qualities is perseverance and incomparable tenacity.
For other people, a blow that is enough to destroy their sanity is just a breeze blowing in their face.
boom!
On top of Jurong City in front, there were constant thunderous sounds, and a large number of flames were shooting in. After Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Dayan discovered that the enemy general had escaped, they both used their full strength.
Any Ming army generals on the city who dared to resist were killed by the two men from a distance.
Soon, the gates of Jurong City began to creak open. @
The fortress that was originally indestructible, but in Fu Youde's eyes required more than 50,000 troops to be destroyed, was now opened.
"Your Majesty, Jurong has been captured!"
Yang Dayan came to report in person.
In front of Wang Jing, Yang Dayan kept his attitude a little low. When he first defected to Daxia, he still believed that he was strong and his attitude was a bit unruly. So it has never been reused.
As Daxia becomes more and more powerful, top-notch generals come to invest one after another.
Only then did Yang Dayan realize that his so-called pride was not worth mentioning at all. If he had not been appointed by Wang Jing, he would have been an ordinary ninth-level general in Daxia. No power or wealth would have anything to do with him.
Of course, if he was really wronged, he could also choose to betray. However, the Great Xia Dynasty was prospering and it looked like it had a bright future. If he chose to betray at this time, there would be something wrong with his brain.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Yang! Send the order, the army will enter the city immediately and take over the city defense immediately!"
Wang Jing nodded to him, with a gentle expression and a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Then give the order immediately.
After receiving Wang Jing's praise, Yang Dayan felt certain that the contribution he had made today should be enough to improve his image, and he felt a little excited.
At this time, Fu Youde's somewhat dazed eyes became calm.
"Enter the city!"
He urged his horse forward and personally led his troops to the city gate.
As a meritorious minister who originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, his heart was more complicated than Zhang Juzheng's.
Xu Da, the number one general of the Ming Dynasty who could steadily suppress him, just abandoned hundreds of thousands of troops and a solid city in such a disgraceful way...
This ending is different from what Fu Youde thought.
He was still thinking about using his commanding ability to lead his army to attack Jurong head-on and compete with Xu Da. Unexpectedly, he didn't have this chance at all.
"Send an order to Yuwen Chengdu. I will give him 30,000 elite soldiers and head to Jinling immediately!"
Before entering the city, Wang Jing issued the last military order in the military formation.
…
May 23, the sixth year of Taichu.
Clouds appeared in the sky, and groups of elite soldiers gathered into a torrent, turning into a crimson ocean in the wild. A large number of cavalry moved slowly, and the infantry rode cloud chariots, following the cavalry's continuous march.
Under the sun, rays of light shone on the weapons of these soldiers, reflecting a dazzling cold light.
The people in the fields were all shocked and shocked when they saw this mighty army.
To escape, there were still some rebels wearing Ming army uniforms.
After seeing the flags of this large army, they behaved worse than ordinary people. Some rebels even trembled and did not dare to move.
Boom!
A group of cavalry rushed over immediately after seeing the rebels. However, all the rebels who wanted to flee were shot to death by bows and arrows, while those who did not dare to resist were gathered around...
The cavalry on the periphery of the army only mopped up the rebels and turned a blind eye to the common people.
The torrent of this army gathered together as desired, with a strong evil spirit. It had an overwhelming and invincible momentum that swept all directions. Some thoughtful people hiding in the dark looked in awe when they felt this momentum.
"Xia Jun is here!"
Most of these interested people were spies sent by the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Jinling City, as well as many officials and military generals who originally worked for the Ming Dynasty.
Some people even came out in person just to see Xia Jun's traces for the first time.
no way.
As Gao Xi had guessed, a few days before Wang Jing launched his attack on Jurong, Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken soldiers urgently recruited from Jinling and marched south with a large amount of grain and supplies.
After the elites of the Ming Dynasty left, Jinyiwei relaxed control over Jinling.
If you wait another day or two.
Wang Jing didn't need to attack Jurong, he could learn about the situation in Jinling from the intelligence sent by the Military Intelligence Department.
The news that Zhu Yuanzhang had left with a large number of soldiers and supplies spread quickly.
Without the suppression of strong men, the area around Jinling began to become chaotic. Many of the guards soldiers who were abandoned by Zhu Yuanzhang and the soldiers who surrendered after annexing the Liu Song and Eastern Jin Dynasties would definitely burn, kill and loot without being controlled.
Troops like the Xia Army that enter enemy territory and do not take the initiative to plunder are very few in the world of China.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who claimed to love the people and treat the people very well, sometimes chose to turn a blind eye when he discovered that the army was killing people at will.
Under good military discipline, wherever Xia's army went, many small towns and villages along the way, all fell into disgrace.
Many people can see that the Xia Dynasty is at its peak, and the loss of Jinling by the Ming Dynasty is already a thing of the past, so they want to take advantage of the fact that Jinling has not been captured by the Xia army.
Boom!
Half a day after these cavalry soldiers passed, a larger army than before, an army as boundless as waves and floods, appeared on the earth again. @·No mistake first~~
In the center of this army are a dozen huge cloud chariots.
One of the cloud chariots is in the shape of a chariot, allowing many soldiers around to see the canopy, the large banner on the chariot, and the flags representing the emperor and generals.
This cloud car is very large, like an open-air meeting hall.
Wang Jingduan sat in the middle.
There are rows of seats on each side. Gao Xi, Zhang Juzheng, Fu Youde and other civil and military generals are there. Their faces are full of energy. The closer they get to Jinling, the brighter their eyes become.
Because they all know it.
What the city of Jinling represents in the minds of hundreds of millions of people in the Chinese world.
This is different from Yangzhou.
Although Yangzhou is a big city, it is even known as Yang Yiyi Er in history. It is an extremely prosperous and famous city. It is very famous and everyone knows it.
But similarly, no one will regard Yangzhou as a qualified capital.
For example, if Daxia occupies Yangzhou, the reputation of Daxia Dynasty can be spread quickly, and famous ministers and generals will know that Daxia Dynasty is not weak.
But that's all.
The Ming Dynasty, which also occupied Jinling, obviously could not compare with the Xia army in terms of military strength and population, but most people would regard the Ming Dynasty as a dynasty of the same level as the Xia Dynasty.
Many princes in other places, such as the Central Plains and Hebei, will subconsciously regard the Ming Dynasty as the orthodox southern dynasty as long as they hear that the Ming Dynasty occupied Jinling...
Yangzhou can only make Daxia famous, but it will not let Daxia gain respect from other forces.
Jinling! is where the orthodox luck lies in the south.
Dragons and tigers roost, the palace of the emperor!
After the news of Xia Jun's entry into Jinling came out, those who still put on airs and did not go out to defect to other forces.
Famous ministers and generals will all be tempted by Da Xia.
Under the protection of the army. Update without error@
The main force of the Xia army, where Wang Jing was, crossed the countryside of Jinling and saw the vanguard troops camped outside the city in the distance.
"Your Majesty, Yuwen Chengdu has arrived at Jinling City!"
"Now Jinling is in chaos. Many wealthy businessmen, gentry, civil servants and generals have sent people out of the city to contact our army, and they have also sent wine, meat, melons and fruits to the labor army!"
The messenger came to report.
Jinling City is Daxia's important goal in this trip south, and it can even be said to be the only goal.
If you compare Jinling City with hundreds of thousands of Ming troops.
Wang Jing would rather let go of hundreds of thousands of Ming troops than capture the city.
Many civil and military officials under his command also understood the importance of Jinling, and even knew that this city would be the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
So before Wang Jing came to Jinling first.
No one dared to enter the city ahead of Wang Jing and snatch the majesty that belonged to the monarch and the emperor.
Yuwen Chengdu is not a fool and understands this truth.
Of course, this is related to the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang has left Jinling and this giant city is now leaderless and can enter the city at any time...if it is necessary to rob the city.
Yuwen Chengdu will not choose to waste time or waste opportunities.
Gao Xi felt a little emotional.
Wang Jing was also a little emotional. He thought it was a hard battle, but he didn't expect that the army marched south, like mercury pouring down the ground, it was very easy.
Perhaps, this is the advantage of accumulating national strength and having more soldiers to push forward the front!
