Chapter 69: Pointing the Spear at Zhu Ying!

Under the attacks of the past five days.

The Great Ming army attacked in turns.

Everywhere in front of the city were the corpses of Great Ming soldiers, and the casualties were heavy.

And everywhere on the city walls were the marks left by artillery bombardment, and the casualties of the Yuan army in the city were also not small.

Countless scaling ladders were placed on the city walls, Great Ming soldiers climbed with knives, and the Great Ming soldiers under the city shot arrows at the city to suppress them.

And on the city tower.

The Yuan army shot arrows like rain at the Great Ming soldiers under the city, and pots of boiling hot oil were poured down at the city. The Great Ming soldiers poured with hot oil let out shrill screams and were instantly turned into fire people, which was very miserable.

Not only that.

Rolling stones.

Logs.

Kept falling from the city tower.

Even though the Great Ming soldiers on the scaling ladders charged crazily and climbed onto the city, fighting the Yuan army at close range.

They were met with countless Yuan troops surrounding and killing them.

City gate.

Dozens of Great Ming soldiers pushed a battering ram, crazily bombarding the city gate.

The city gate was bombarded until it was tottering, but it could not be breached after all. Clearly, the Yuan army in the city was also resisting to the death.

"Kill, kill..."

"Kill..."

Inside and outside the city.

The sound of killing was continuous.

It was filled with the cruelest murderous intent in this world.

Time also gradually passed under this siege battle.

"Damn it."

"These damn Yuan troops."

Great Ming army center.

Watching that even with such an offensive, the city tower had not been taken, Zhao Yong's face was full of anger and unwillingness.

But looking at the sky.

Zhao Yong could only be helpless, shouting unwillingly: "Sound the gong and retreat."

Inside the main command tent!

Fu Fu Youde sat on the main seat, and below were the generals of each army under his command.

But at this moment.

The expressions of every general were very bad.

Clearly.

Continuous attacks had already caused Great Ming to suffer not small casualties.

But still, the city in front of them had not been taken.

"How many soldiers have been lost in these five days?" Fu Fu Youde asked in a deep voice.

"Replying to the General."

"Casualties have already exceeded ten thousand." The Pacification Commissioner replied immediately.

"In five days, casualties exceeded ten thousand."

"Zhao Yong, Wang Bi."

"Do you have nothing to say?"

Fu Fu Youde looked at the two commanding generals under his command.

"General."

"Give us a few more days, and we will definitely breach Jincheng." Zhao Yong said immediately, his face full of madness.

"General."

"This Nahachu has long been guarding against our Great Ming. This Jincheng is higher than ordinary cities, the defense is more solid, and the city gate is increasingly solid." Wang Bi also said.

"Casualties exceeded ten thousand in five days."

"How do you want me to explain this to General Feng? How to explain it to Ying Ying Tianfu?"

"Half a month."

"Our army's grain and supplies are consumed, and casualties are countless."

"How do I explain?"

"You said you would take Jincheng in five days, but what about now?" Fu Fu Youde shouted coldly.

At this moment.

Fu Fu Youde was also angry.

Nahachu deployed heavy troops to defend the two cities bordering Great Ming. Although it was heavy troop defense, Great Ming's military strength was not weak either.

And the imperial court had already given the greatest support.

It had been half a month since they launched the attack.

But besides the results Zhu Ying obtained from the Tatars in the northern frontier, their main army had not achieved any results.

If it really dragged on for a month without breaching Nahachu's defense line, the Emperor would inevitably be furious.

"General."

"Jincheng is solid, and the troop strength in the city is not small. To breach the city, it must be a bloody battle, filling it with lives."

"Besides that."

"There is no other way."

"Please give us some more time." Wang Bi said loudly.

"It has been half a month."

"If it really drags on for a month without breaching the city, the Emperor will inevitably be furious. You want time, do you think I don't need time?" Fu Fu Youde said with a cold expression.

"Reporting to the General."

"If we cannot breach the city by force, perhaps we can only bypass and surround it, cut off Jincheng's grain and supplies, and adopt a method of siege." Zhao Yong said after thinking for a moment.

Hearing this.

Fu Fu Youde shook his head: "You can think of it, do you think Nahachu can't?"

"This Jincheng must have hoarded enough grain and supplies. Wanting to cut off its rear and besiege this city is absolutely impossible."

Hearing this.

Zhao Yong's face also immediately sank.

"Five days."

Fu Fu Youde raised his hand and held up his palm: "I will give you five more days. You must breach Jincheng within five days."

But hearing this time.

Zhao Yong and Wang Bi both wore difficult expressions.

They had already attacked in turns for five days, Jincheng's defense was tight, and the Yuan army was extremely fierce, with one person dying and another immediately filling the gap.

The Yuan army had the advantage of defending the city.

This could also be considered a natural advantage.

The attacking side was inherently the weaker side.

In the case of almost equal troop strength, this considered the ferocity of the soldiers.

But continuous attacks failed, and the morale of the Great Ming army had already been damaged.

"General."

"Five days might not be enough." Zhao Yong said with a struggle.

Wang Bi also nodded.

Fu Fu Youde's face also immediately became gloomy.

Just as he was about to get angry.

"General Zhu Ying is galloping and killing in the northern frontier, and is even better at commanding troops."

"I wonder if he is willing to take on this task of attacking the city?"

"I believe that with General Zhu Ying's commanding ability, he will definitely be able to breach Jincheng."

Wang Bi changed the subject and suddenly cast his gaze on Zhu Ying, who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word.

Following his voice.

The gazes of many generals in the tent fell on Zhu Ying.

All of a sudden.

Zhu Ying became the focus of this tent.

However.

Under the gaze of these eyes, many generals were filled with playfulness, mockery, and watching a show.

"That's right."

"This subordinate also seconds General Wang Bi's suggestion."

"General Zhu Ying is young and promising, and is even called a match for ten thousand by the soldiers in the army. If General Zhu Ying commands the attack, perhaps it won't even take five days." Zhao Yong came to his senses and immediately echoed.

Watching these two Huaixi generals singing in harmony.

Zhu Ying watched calmly, and he also clearly knew that this was not their sincere praise. Clearly, they were deliberately praising Zhu Ying, and also letting him stand high and fall hard.

At the same time, they were also shifting the current predicament onto Zhu Ying.

But Fu Fu Youde watched coldly, his heart as clear as a mirror.

Although he was also a Huaixi general, unlike Feng Sheng, he was not one of those arrogant and conceited fierce generals like Lan Yu. He knew how to be low-key and knew what imperial power was.

What Zhao Yong and the others said this time was actually too much.

"Enough."

Fu Fu Youde shouted coldly.

The tent, which was originally filled with a strange atmosphere, instantly became quiet.

"General Zhu just returned from the northern frontier six days ago, and the cavalry Assistant Regional Commander camp was formed only three days ago."

"How can cavalry attack a city?"

"General Zhao and General Wang, do not make random suggestions." Fu Fu Youde said in a deep voice.

Directly wanting to skip this part.

Also protecting Zhu Ying.

Seeing this.

Disappointment flashed in the eyes of Zhao Yong and Wang Bi.
