Chapter 2596 Let’s Fight
Today's night ban ended very early, so the Martyrs' Shrine was crowded with people inside and outside, and countless people came here to worship.
Countless people prayed devoutly, looking forward to the Ming Dynasty, and praying for their relatives who were about to go to war.
In the mist, the Taoists were reciting scriptures, and their voices were uniform, gradually overpowering the voices of those praying.
Countless tablets gradually come alive in the incense.
In the darkness before dawn, the entire capital was praying.
Zhu Zhanji is ready.
He stood in front of the Qianqing Palace in military uniform, with Corn standing beside him.
The father and son were talking in low voices until Cao Fei came over.
"Your Majesty, the time has come."
Zhu Zhanji nodded, then stretched out his hand.
Corn raised his head and put his little hand into the big one.
The father and son walked forward slowly, while Cao Fei watched from behind and suddenly whispered: "This is inheritance!"
When we arrived outside the palace gate, hundreds of officials were already waiting.
Zhu Zhanji stood outside the palace gate holding Corn and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
Hundreds of officials will send the emperor off to the expedition and then come back to guard the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Zhanji got on his horse and put the corn in front of him.
At this moment, the dawn has still not arrived, and the sky is slightly blue.
The dim street was densely packed with people standing on both sides.
The sergeants stood in front of the crowd, looking at the place where the sound of horse hooves came from.
The sound of horse hooves was approaching, and as the emperor and the prince rode out of the darkness, an old man shouted: "Long live your Majesty!"
Countless people shouted: "Long live your Majesty!"
Then the people on both sides bowed down.
Corn was a little curious and asked, "Father, why did they do this?"
Zhu Zhanji rode his horse and walked in the middle, staring ahead and said, "Because we are protecting them and the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Zhanji has never understood the origin of people's hearts so clearly.
"People's hearts are meant to be protected. If you protect the people, they will protect you. You should always remember this sentence."
The stars gradually disappeared, and a light began to appear in the east.
Zhu Zhanji left the city gate.
It was very quiet outside the city gate. Corn looked at it curiously, then rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "Father, there are so many people!"
Countless soldiers lined up silently outside the city, boundless, like patches of wheat fields.
All the ministers reined in their horses and watched the emperor and the prince walking alone.
This is the loneliness of the emperor, but many people think it is glory.
"No one can accompany us on this road. This is the road of the emperor!"
Purple light appeared on the horizon, and the dawn light passed through the clouds and turned into countless rays, slowly shining on the tops of countless arrays, like a fairyland.
The emperor and the prince were riding slowly across the front.
"Long live your Majesty!"
The first array starts cheering!
Corn is watching these people,
Watch them roaring at the top of their lungs.
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
Countless arrays shouted in turn, and countless young or mature faces were full of excitement.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty will once again go to war in person. The emperor will take over the banner of Taizu Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen and bravely go to the battlefield.
"Long live your Majesty!"
The cheers continued, and Corn gradually felt the power.
He sat upright in front of Zhu Zhanji and looked at the arrays with a stern face.
The majestic momentum left an impression he will never forget.
This is the road to the emperor!
This is a lonely road!
…
From spring to autumn, Tudou felt that he had walked the longest road in his life.
The hot sun was a thing of the past, and the temperature gradually dropped in the morning and evening. He had to tell his brothers to keep warm in the morning and evening to avoid non-combat casualties.
The long queue seemed to have no end. After meeting the infantry the day before yesterday, according to the marks on the map, they were already approaching Hami.
Qianhu School of Martial Arts followed the Chinese army closely and worked with the Shenji Battalion to defend the emperor's safety.
"Don't run around!"
Tudou frowned and grabbed one of his sergeants, and warned: "Keep stability during the long march."
The sergeant said excitedly: "Sir, Hami is ahead."
This man knew the road well. Tudou stepped on his feet and looked around, and saw several horses galloping from the side of the road.
Tudou looked carefully several times, but couldn't see his father, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Chen Linchu has met Your Majesty."
After the long journey, Zhu Zhanji's face turned darker. He smiled and said, "I remember you. After the fall of Hami, it was you who led the people to hide in the mountains."
Lin Chu said excitedly: "I just did my duty. Your Majesty, the main force of the enemy army has just arrived. Xinghe Bo is commanding the defense. I ordered you to come and greet your Majesty."
Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows slightly and said solemnly: "Is Miergan here?"
Lin Chu rode his horse over and replied from where he was lagging behind: "Yes, Your Majesty, the army under the command of Meergan arrived the day before yesterday and has been outside Hami City."
…
At this moment, the front of Hami City is densely packed with enemy troops. Countless cavalry are cruising around. From time to time, a group of men and horses rush over, and then use arrows to tease the defenders on the city.
"More than a hundred thousand!"
Fang Xing was observing the size of the enemy army with a telescope.
Yang Xiong couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Uncle, can you attack?"
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "Waiting for news from His Majesty."
"Your Majesty has arrived, the time is right."
At this time, a group of cavalry rushed over again. They stretched their bows and nocked arrows, preparing to use the rain of arrows again to make the Ming army on the city head evade in order to lower the morale of their opponents.
Xu Mi was observing the enemy's movements. Seeing that the enemy had been cruising in front, he said, "How can Meiergan be strong inside but weak inside? He doesn't even know how to besiege the city."
Fang Xing said, "Once he besieges the city, if Your Majesty leads the main force to help, and we attack in the city, he will have to leave at least 20,000 people behind."
"Meiergan is very cautious, and he is unwilling to attack a strong city."
A thousand-household official asked, "My Lord, what if we can't hold out?"
Xin Laoqi came over with a shield to block an arrow. Fang Xing said casually, "If we can't hold out, where is our morale? Many times it's not that we can't hold out, but that we can't hold out. There are problems with military morale and strategy here."
He pointed down and said lightly, "Kill them!"
Xin Laoqi turned around and shouted, "Shoot!"
A rain of arrows flew down, and the cavalry who had just completed the turn were completely covered.
"If we don't move, they can split up and bypass Hami City, and then go deep into the interior of the Ming Dynasty to harass us, understand?"
The Qianhu official suddenly realized: "This is also the reason why Meiergan didn't go to the border wall. If he went there, it would be a long wall. Unless he broke through somewhere, he would have no chance at all."
Fang Xing nodded, and a soldier came from behind.
"My Lord, His Majesty is five miles away!"
Fang Xing stood up straight in an instant, staring at the coalition army in the distance, and said: "Blow the horn, tell Meiergan and Melo to fight a decisive battle!"
The horn sounded, and Fang Xing had already arrived at the bottom of the city tower.
Yang Xiong led 30,000 cavalry in front, and two firearms guards were behind.
Fang Xing got on the horse, nodded, and Yang Xiong said: "Open the door!"
More than a dozen soldiers struggled to pull open the huge bolt, and then pulled the city gate.
The gap in the door gradually widened, and the astonishment on the faces of the coalition cavalry who were galloping in could be seen.
"The Ming army has left the city!"
The city gate gradually opened, and Fang Xing rushed out first.
Xin Laoqi took down his bow and arrows and quietly followed Fang Xing.
The cavalry team was a little tempted when they saw Fang Xing's posture, but when the cavalry behind them continued to come out, they all turned around and fled without the officers' call.
Fang Xing rushed forward, and the cavalry behind him quickly rushed to his sides, and the musketeers also began to form a formation.
