Wang Er Mazi immediately found someone to invite Gan Hui and Li Shishi to discuss how to defend the city.

After listening to Wang Er Mazi's simple description, Gan Hui frowned and said; "If Dongyu really raises tens of thousands of troops to invade, I'm afraid that Laizhou won't be able to hold it."

He paused and said: "Gan is not the one who grew up the morale of others and destroyed his own prestige before the war. In fact, the disparity in strength is too great. Laizhou is only 40,000 or 50,000 people, and the strength of Jiaozhou Bay is only more than 20,000 at most, how can it withstand the siege of more than 100,000 people. ”

In the face of absolute superiority in troops, even the superiority in firearms cannot be reflected.

What's more, with these dozens of small cannons left by His Royal Highness the Prince, the Ming army can't even talk about an advantage.

"It's okay, everyone has their own opinions."

Wang Er Mazi said with a smile.

Gan Hui is a general left by the prince, how dare he offend?

"General Li, what do you think?"

Wang Er Mazi turned to Li Shishi again and asked.

"Well, it's not easy to keep, but we still have to do our best to keep it. But you must make an alternative plan, and if you can't hold on, you must be able to evacuate in time. ”

"It's easy to say, Jiaozhou Bay is close to the sea, if we can't guard it, we can go out of the city from the water gate. There are quite a few boats docked in the bay, which can take us to Dengzhou. ”

Wang Er Mazi explained.

"That's fine."

Li Shishi's voice seemed very unconfident, which made Wang Er Mazi feel empty.

How do you see that Li Shishi and Gan Hui are not very optimistic about being able to hold Laizhou, could it be that they really have to withdraw to Dengzhou in the sea?

Anyway, Wang Er Mazi still wants to give it a try.

After all, they took Laizhou with great difficulty, how could they give it away.

If you can't beat it, you can't talk about things that can't be beaten.

"Do you want to go with me to the barracks? Let's see how well the boys are doing. ”

The more tense the atmosphere, the more accustomed Wang Er Mazi was to going to the barracks.

Spending time and time again with soldiers eases anxiety, which he has tried time and again.

Gan Hui nodded, and Li Shishi also agreed.

...

...

It's just that the situation in the military camp is much worse than Wang Er Mazi imagined.

I don't know who released the news, which led to the news that Ji Xiha had mobilized a large number of green camps from Henan.

As a result, people are panicked.

This is also human nature. After all, knowing that the number of enemies is several times that of oneself, no one can really be unfazed.

"General Wang, we're going to die here, aren't we?"

"Yes, General Wang, we can only die in Laizhou."

"There are so many Tartars, how can we have a chance of winning?"

"If this fight continues, it will be death, so it is better for us to withdraw to Dengzhou as soon as possible."

Facing the coaxing of the soldiers, Wang Er Mazi stomped his feet fiercely and said, "Shut up, a bunch of useless things." There are more than 100,000 people in the Tartars, and they are afraid of you like this? I'd rather see who's peeing their pants here! ”

Wang Er Mazi glanced around everyone fiercely, and seeing that everyone hung their heads, he took a deep breath and continued: "It's true that the number of Tartars is much more than us, but there is nothing to fear. for we have fortified cities to defend. What's the use of a large number of tartars? They can't get in! ”

When he said this, Wang Er Mazi himself didn't believe it.

After all, the last time Ji Xiha attacked the city, the artillery of the Qing army gave them great pressure, and the battlements on the city wall were blown off a lot.

But he can't open this opening.

If he coaxed first, the soldiers would be even more bottomless.

Originally, Wang Er Mazi came to the barracks to seek psychological comfort, but who would have thought that it would be him to comfort these soldiers, which really makes people laugh and cry.

"This battle hasn't been fought yet, how can you admit it. It's all with handles, don't be like a girl. ”

Wang Er Mazi was originally a bandit, so he naturally spoke very roughly.

But in his opinion, if he withdraws directly without fighting, he is really sorry for the trust of the seventh brother.

"Nian is a first-time offender, this time General Ben will not pursue it. From now on, if anyone shakes the morale of the army again, he will be severely punished by military law. ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Er Mazi raised his voice a little more and said, "Did you hear it clearly?" ”

"Hear me clearly!"

Wang Er Mazi was bitter in his heart, but he couldn't show it.

"Do it well, Tartar is not a King Kong indestructible body, and he can't live like he has been poked in a hole."

After encouraging the soldiers again, Wang Er Mazi left the barracks with Li Shishi and Gan Hui.

As soon as he got out of the barracks, Wang Er Mazi immediately said embarrassedly: "Let the two of you see the joke, it's all because the general is not strict in governing the army." ”

Gan Hui cleared his throat and said, "General Wang doesn't need to blame himself, this kind of thing is inevitable. Let's just do our best to keep it. ”

Wang Er Mazi's heart sank when he heard this, and what Gan Hui said was trying his best to guard, not necessarily guarding.

It seems that in Gan Hui's heart, this Laizhou can't be defended.

That's it, he just needs to do his best to defend it, and if he really can't keep it, there is no way.

...

...

Amid the rumbling drums of war, the Qing army's war machine started again.

It's just that this time it's obviously much bigger than the last one.

Ning Wan ordered the arrest of the strong men in the whole territory of Jinan Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion, and the youngest of these newly arrested strong men was in his early tens, and the older one was already full of gray hair.

They do the hardest errands, and are responsible for pulling the grain and grass to carry the load.

After a moment's pause, the whip of the Qing army will be thrown off mercilessly.

Those strong men were whipped covered in blood and did not dare to complain, otherwise the whip would continue to be drawn even more ruthlessly.

The people are bitter, and the people are even more bitter.

Tartars are really not people, treat them like animals, and if they are slightly unsatisfactory, they will be beaten and scolded.

From the moment they were captured, they knew that most of them would not return home alive.

It's a moment to live, but as long as you can still breathe, you can't give up on yourself, right?

Among the Chinese army, the majestic Ji Xiha, who rode a tall horse, of course would not pay attention to the life or death of these strong men.

He waited for so long and finally arrived at Henan Green Camp, and at this moment he couldn't wait to go to Laizhou to fight to the death.

The last time he planted a heel outside Laizhou City, this time he wanted to get back all the money with interest.

After the city of Laizhou was broken, he wanted to kill all the traitors and use his head to build a Jingguan to warn the world.

These thieves who don't know whether they are alive or dead actually think that they can shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, but they don't know that the Qing Dynasty is the will of heaven and the destiny of heaven.

Ji Xiha will use practical actions to tell these thieves that the Qing Dynasty is the master of the world.

Ning Wan did not go with Ji Xiha, in his words, his old bones really could not stand the intensity of the march.

Naturally, Jishiha was happy to see this. It's best if I don't follow Ning Wan, otherwise he will have to fight with Ning Wan and me haha.

Now that the army is his hall, it feels great that I don't have to be restrained by me.
