Chapter 172: It's just death
Chapter 172: It's just death
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty is defending the city, and it takes too many firearms, crossbow arrows, and artillery, which do not require too much strength, and do not need to fight in person. Even a woman can open a gun.
There were no men, only old men and women, and the whole city had a dead feeling.
Zhu Yi sighed in her heart, but she was helpless.
When he came to King Yi's palace, Madame Shi was already waiting here. After Zhu Yi saluted, he took Mrs. Shi to the city wall.
As soon as I climbed the castle wall, my vision instantly widened.
The mountains in the north and south are pouring into view, and the snow is as if the sky is wiping its forehead. The blue of the sky seemed to be falling, and it was filled with a kind of magnificent beauty of the northwest.
It's just that at this time, no one has the heart to look at this kind of scenery.
Zhu Yi and Mrs. Shi and even each other's personal soldiers walked slowly, and Zhu Yi suddenly saw that a person was wearing ill-fitting armor, this person was very thin, but the armor was a lot, and it was like a snail covering a shell.
Zhu Yi stepped forward to take a look, but it was a immature face, and asked, "Why are you, your grandfather?" ”
This immature face, which seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, stood on the city wall and blew the wind, and there was already snot running down, and he sucked it back violently, snorted, and sucked it back. But it left marks on the face.
He said: "General Hui, Grandpa is gone." ”
When Zhu Yi heard this, her heart shook slightly. He knew what it meant to be gone.
This young grandfather is Zhu Yi's personal soldier, to be precise, Zhu Yong's personal soldier.
He followed Zhu Yi to Yili, and later when he got older, he asked his son to fill the vacancy, and he served the fields in Yili, after all, the land that could be allocated in Yili was much larger than that of the Central Plains.
It's just a sudden change.
His son died in battle.
Shi Heng's department, no, is that all the armies of the Ming Dynasty actually have a gene of the guard system. It's just that among Shi Heng's subordinates, this situation is more obvious.
Therefore, this kind of father and son successively served in the same army, more or less.
I just didn't expect him to leave like this.
Zhu Yi bent down, wiped the young man's snot, untied his armor, and tied him again, although the armor still didn't fit well, but after Zhu Yi's adjustment, at least it was no longer loose. Looks a lot more energetic.
Daming does not have the kind of armor like a turtle shell, and the armor is generally tied together with pieces of armor, and there is room for adjustment.
The reason why this kid is not dressed well is because he is not skilled, and if his grandfather is still alive, he will definitely be able to clean him up.
It's just that the helmet is not easy to do.
The child's head was a little smaller.
Zhu Yi took off the child's helmet, compared the heads of the next few pro-soldiers, and found that his pro-soldiers all had big shoulders and round waists, and their heads were also very large, so there was no suitable one at all.
"There you have this." Madame Stone took off her helmet.
Although Shi Heng is Yiwei's husband, his young daughter is petite and exquisite, her head and face are a little smaller than ordinary people, and she has a standard slap face.
Zhu Yi fastened the helmet of the child and said, "You will be an adult in the future, remember the enmity between your grandfather and your father." Serve the country. ”
The boy gave a respectful military salute and said, "Yes." ”
Zhu Yi's nose was sour, and her heart was extremely gloomy.
Speaking of which, although he and this child's grandfather have a relationship between the main general and the personal soldiers, they have experienced many long and vicious battles between each other.
The situation of the battle of Zhaozhou is still vivid.
is a brother of life and death on the battlefield, he has lost his son now, only this one grandson, how can he be saved.
It's just that now he has no choice.
The Zhu family is in the city of Yili, and one of them has to go to the city. Han Chinese men over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 were all on the city wall.
The city of Ili is not a strong city where it is placed, and it is impossible to take it down.
But it is the blood of countless soldiers combined with the city walls that is indestructible.
Zhu Yi patted the child's shoulder and said, "Okay." ”
He left and went to inspect other places, but his words suddenly increased, and he explained the situation in the city to Mrs. Shi one by one.
Even if the enemy attacked like this, how to defend it, he even said more than a dozen countermeasures in a row.
It seems that in a short period of time, he will pass on all his decades of experience in defending the city to Mrs. Shi.
Just as Zhang Fu commented on Zhu Yi at the beginning.
Zhu Yi has no talent in the use of soldiers, and it is impossible for him to fight like Shi Heng in his life, but he has used decades of experience in the army to interpret what it means to be a veteran general and a veteran.
It's just that there are no tricks, every stroke is a solid pole, and every move is a lot of thought. At least in the matter of defending the city, he did not dare to say that it was foolproof.
But whoever wants to attack the city he defends, it is better not to think of any tricks, and honestly fill in the lives under the city walls.
Before they knew it, they had already walked along the city wall, and after getting off the city wall, Mrs. Shi said, "Uncle Zhu, what's wrong today?" ”
Zhu Yi can afford this title.
He has been at odds with Shi Heng all his life, but he has been tied to Shi Heng all his life, and even once to the point of meeting each other. It's just that he never thought that now he would be trapped in a lonely city with Shi Heng's daughter.
Zhu Yi said: "Nothing, just thinking of a loophole, I'm old, and now the situation is unknown, I don't know how long this city will be defended, plus on the battlefield, anything can happen, if I have a case, there must always be a person to continue to defend." ”
Mrs. Shi hurriedly said, "Where is the uncle?" ”
Zhu Yi said: "Everything must have a plan for the worst, and now you are the only one who can support the people in the city." ”
If there is someone else, Zhu Yi has no reason to choose someone else.
But the question is, what kind of person leads what kind of soldier, and what kind of person is Shi Heng? Would a man like him defend the city?
The generals he brought out rushed forward one by one, but they didn't have the patience to let them defend the city in peace.
What's more, even so.
None of the veterans were in Ili City.
After all, when the troops were divided, they didn't think about such a situation.
The elite soldiers and strong generals were all taken away, and Zhu Yi's troops also suffered heavy losses in the previous offensive and defensive battles, and among the remaining generals, there were no good materials.
The general who defends the city does not need any bravery, but he needs prestige to convince the public, as well as thoughtfulness and calmness. Although Madame Shi is a woman, she exhibits this trait.
As for prestige, she is Shi Heng's granddaughter and King Yi's concubine, so she naturally has an aura on her body. Cheng Shiheng's afterglow, coupled with the majesty of the Ming royal family, as well as some of her performances after the siege, are also very convincing.
"Me." Mrs. Shi was taken aback and said.
"It's just you." Zhu Yi said: "If one day I am gone, what will you do? ”
The so-called times create heroes, if there is no such thing, Mrs. Shi will probably be in the boudoir for the rest of her life, husband and children. Now the times have pushed her to this point.
Mrs. Shi suddenly had a feeling of excitement in her heart, she didn't know why she was excited, counting her age, she was just a high school student in the next life.
At this moment, you have to bear the life and death of the city.
She gathered her thoughts and said: "I am the wife of the royal family, I dare not insult the world and defile the family style, if my uncle has a case, the day when the city of Ili falls." It's my death. ”
"It's just death."
Zhu Yi smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I have dealt with Shi Heng for half my life, and I am not used to him, but I envy such a daughter at this moment." ”
Mrs. Shi said: "If my uncle is willing, I am willing to worship my uncle as my father-in-law." ”
Zhu Yi said: "You are the princess, you can't afford it." ”
Zhu Yi and Mrs. Shi did not say anything about reinforcements from beginning to end.
Is it that they don't care about reinforcements?
No, it's that they value reinforcements too much. Almost day and night, I thought about it, looking towards the east at dusk. But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
At the moment they don't have much hope for reinforcements. The reluctance to talk is the last glimmer of hope that remains.
I'm afraid that I will figure it out after I say it thoroughly.
It's really hurtful to have no reinforcements.
