Chapter 1090: Full Help

When Wendu led the reinforcements of the Timurid Empire to the Northern Yuan military camp outside the Xicheng, there were still no three fires burning on the gate tower of the Xicheng, but there were more and more fires in the Xicheng, and the fires became brighter and brighter, as if the battle in the city was more intense.

At this moment, the Beiyuan soldiers led by Duosang were already crowded outside the gate of Xicheng, and they all looked up at the city wall where the figures were shaking and shouting and killing.

Duo Sang was very excited at this time, and waited with great interest for the opening of the gate of the West City, judging from the current battle situation, the Kwanti army had already attacked the city wall, so that the Ming army, which was still shooting arrows at the Northern Yuan soldiers approaching the city, had to turn around and deal with the Kwanti army that killed them.

"General Taiping, how is the battle?" Wen Du climbed the lookout platform surrounded by the generals and asked Taiping, who was watching the battle from above.

"According to the news from General Tosan, the Ming army on the city wall has stopped attacking them and has joined forces with the Kansai army, and it seems that they will capture the gate of the western city soon." Taiping bowed slightly to Wen Du and briefed him on the latest battle situation.

Although Wendu and Taiping did not belong to each other, Wendu was the commander of the siege of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army, so the Taiping had to salute Wendu when they saw him.

"The strength of the Xiaowu Army is really strong, and it can hold out for so long." Wen Du looked at the west city of the green dragon city in front of him, and couldn't help but praise it, he knew that it was the Xiaowu army that was defending the city, and if it was replaced by other Ming troops, I am afraid that the gate of the west city would have already been lost.

"I hope they can open the gates." Taiping's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some concern.

Obviously, as time went by, the reinforcements of the Ming army in the city had arrived and were engaged in a melee with the Kwantai army, and if the Kwantai army could not open the city gate before the reinforcements of the Ming army rushed to the city gate, then this move of the Kwantai army would probably end in failure.

Wen Du looked at the gate tower of the west gate of Qinglong City with an expressionless face, he knew that this was the best opportunity to capture Qinglong City, once the rebellious Guanxi army was wiped out by the Ming army, the army of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan would have to face the cold walls of Qinglong City.

To tell the truth, it was the first time that Wendu had seen such a tall city wall, and the longest cloud ladder in the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty only reached two-thirds of the wall of Qinglong City.

Due to technical limitations, the height of the ladder was limited, otherwise it would easily break when ascending the city, and the Timurid Empire's strongest siege weapon, the "Hui Hui Cannon", fired stones that could only leave a white mark on the city wall.

What Wen Du didn't know was that when he was looking at the gate tower of the west gate of Qinglong City, Li Yuntian was also staring at the barracks of the Northern Yuan army outside the city, and the city walls around him were full of soldiers of the Xiaowu Army who were pretending to fight together, and in order to make the situation more realistic, some of the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army deliberately changed into the uniforms of the Kansai Army.

"Lord Wang, it's almost time." Not long after, Lin Xin glanced at the Northern Yuan soldiers who were densely gathered under the city, and said to Li Yuntian with a serious expression.

"Ignition." Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, and gave an order in a deep voice.

Lin Xin waved his hand to the guards on the side, and the three bonfires set up on the city gate tower were immediately ignited and burned.

"Look, there's a fire on the gatehouse." At the same time, on the lookout platform of the Northern Yuan military camp outside the West City, a general of the Timurid Empire pointed to the three piles of flames burning on the gate tower of the West Gate of Qinglong City in surprise and said.

The generals of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the lookout stretched their necks to look at the three piles of flames, they already knew Gu Chen's arrangement at this time, didn't this mean that the Guanxi Army was shocked and controlled the gate of the west city of Qinglong City.

"General Wendu, it seems that the Kwanti Army has succeeded." Taiping didn't expect the Kansai Army to really capture the west gate of Qinglong City, and he couldn't help but show an excited look on his face, and said to Wen Du beside him with a smile, "It seems that Qinglong City is ours." ”

"Order down, quickly march to Qinglong City, reinforce the Kansai Army in the city, there must be no mistake, those who violate the order will be killed!" Wen Du's mood also became a little excited, as long as he took the Blue Dragon City, he could avenge the defeat in Sunset Valley last time, so he turned around and gave an order to the surrounding generals in a deep voice.

"Obedience." The generals of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the lookout heard the words and bowed to Wendu one after another, and then left in a hurry, commanding their respective troops to march towards the west gate of Qinglong City.

"General Wendu, have you ever met King Zhongwu?" Taiping looked in the direction of Qinglong City, and suddenly opened his mouth to ask Wen Du.

"Maybe from afar." Wen Du also looked at Qinglong City, and after a deep sigh, he said, when he evacuated from Sunset Valley, he once noticed a figure on the mountain peak on the side, if he didn't guess wrong, the person there was Li Yuntian.

"This official once saw King Zhongwu more than ten years ago, when he was just a royal history of the Ming Dynasty, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would become a famous King Zhongwu, what a terrifying opponent." Taiping's face showed a complicated expression, and he said with a wry smile, "If it weren't for him, our Dayuan wouldn't have fallen to the point where it is today." ”

"King Zhongwu is indeed a rare talent, but he is too trusting to stay in this lonely city in Kansai, does he think that Daming still has the strength to fight with us in Kansai?" Wen Du nodded in agreement when he heard this, his first defeat was in the hands of Li Yuntian, and he was defeated so badly, and then Yu Feng turned around and said coldly.

In Wendu's opinion, Li Yuntian was really too arrogant, as the commander of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't know that Mingzhe would protect himself, and it was really a stupid decision to dare to stay in Qinglong City in the face of the nearly one million troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.

Although Qinglong City is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but Guanxi is actually already the world of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, in the absence of enough cavalry, the Ming Dynasty simply cannot compete with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan in Guanxi, if he is replaced, he will retreat to Jiayu Pass, so it is a wise move, the advantage of the Ming army is to have a strong city defense.

However, Wendu also admitted that Li Yuntian's stay in Qinglong City had brought considerable trouble to the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, and he had to transfer 300,000 troops to besiege the city, otherwise he would have attacked Jiayuguan with all his might.

Hearing that Wen Du said that Li Yuntian was "holding the big one", Taiping's brows were furrowed and there was no interface, he didn't think that Li Yuntian's stay in Qinglong City was an arrogant move, who would have thought that Li Yuntian would unexpectedly turn the tide in Liaodong and defeat the Northern Yuan army with absolute superiority.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is not without the power to counterattack, although the cavalry of the Ming army suffered heavy casualties with the defeat of the Western Expeditionary Army, but the Ming Mongolian political envoys and the Mongols and Jurchens in Liaodong have a lot of cavalry, and if they participate in the war, they will make up for the disadvantages of the Ming army.

Wendu and Taiping were looking forward to their generals leading the army into Qinglong City, but the situation outside the west gate of Qinglong City was chaotic, and after seeing the three fires on the tower of the city gate, Duosang immediately excitedly ordered the soldiers to enter the city, but the west gate was tightly closed, and there was no intention of opening.

Because Dossan and others were blocked outside the West Gate, and the troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty who rushed behind did not know it, they rushed to the West Gate under the urging of the generals, and gradually gathered in the open space outside the West City, and it was dense as far as the eye could see.

"What's the matter, they seem to be blocked out of the city?" Finally, Wen Du on the lookout finally noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and his brows suddenly furrowed slightly, it stands to reason that the west gate should be opened after the three fires on the city gate tower are lit.

"Aren't the gates open?" Taiping also found out that the soldiers besieging the city were blocked, and a puzzled look appeared on his face, this situation should not have happened.

Wen Du's brows suddenly wrinkled deeper, judging from the current situation, it can only be explained by the fact that the city gate was not opened, but why did this happen, could it be that the Ming army in the city controlled the situation at the city gate before the Kansai army opened the city gate?

"King Zhongwu is extremely cunning, do you want to withdraw the troops first." For some reason, Taiping had an inexplicable sense of foreboding in his heart, and after a deep groan, he said to Wen Du.

"We'll see." Wen Du groaned when he heard this, and looked up at Qinglong City in the distance, although the situation in front of him was not right, he didn't dare to act rashly, in case now the Guanxi Army and the Ming Army are fiercely competing for the west gate of Qinglong City, if he retreats like this and the city gate is opened again, then he will miss the opportunity, God knows how long the Guanxi Army can hold out at the West Gate, you must know that the Ming army in the city has an advantage.

Taiping saw that Wen Du had made up his mind, the corners of his mouth squirmed for a while and then he didn't say anything, his face showed a worried look, although Wen Du had suffered Li Yuntian's loss, he didn't realize that Li Yuntian was terrible, so he didn't have such vigilance as him.

"Almost, give them the gift that the king has prepared." In the gatehouse of the west gate of Qinglong City, Li Yuntian glanced at the soldiers of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty who were gathered outside the city, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice to Lin Xin beside him.

Lin Xin smiled slightly when she heard this, lit the signal flare in her hand, and a red signal flare suddenly rose into the air with a sharp whistling sound, and finally exploded in the sky with a bang, blooming with beautiful fireworks.

Seeing this, the enemy troops outside the city were attracted by the fireworks in the sky and looked up one after another.

"What's going on?" After seeing the rising signal flare, Wen Du's heart suddenly tightened, if he remembered correctly, the Ming army used this kind of fireworks as a signal when attacking, could it be that the Ming army in the city was going to attack?

Subsequently, Wendu denied his idea, and now the soldiers of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty have surrounded the gate of Xicheng, and the Ming army in the city will undoubtedly kill themselves if they come out.

"What's that?" Just when Wen Du was puzzled, Taiping stretched out his hand and pointed to the air in the distance and asked curiously.

Wen Du looked up, and in the moonlight, he could see a group of small black dots rising from the walls of Qinglong City, drawing a huge arc in the air and falling to the rear of the enemy army outside the city.

"Artillery!" Seeing this, Wen Du's face suddenly changed greatly, and an ominous thought rose in his heart, but why didn't he hear the roar of the artillery firing.
