Now the Ming army from all walks of life has gathered together, and the number is more than 100,000.

Under Zhu Youlang's order, the Ming army surrounded Nanchang City several times inside and out.

Looking at such an impenetrable appearance, not to mention a person, even a fly can't fly out.

Although Li Laiheng took the initiative to ask for help, it was impossible for Zhu Youlang to let Li Laiheng shoulder the heavy responsibility of the pioneer alone.

Kuidong Zhuying, Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, and even Zhu Youlang of the Tiger Benjun himself will use it.

Although a bowl of water can't really be flat, it still needs to be taken out.

If Zhu Youlang was obviously biased and let Kuidong Zhuxun and Zheng Chenggong take the lead, his descendants would hide behind and watch the play, which would chill the hearts of the soldiers.

Treat everyone equally, this is the bearing that an emperor should have.

As before, the Ming army did not rush to attack the city, but first began to dig tunnels, preparing to blow up the city walls first.

Kui Dong and Zhuying have long known this, but Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan don't know at all.

Zhu Youlang explained, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan suddenly realized.

No wonder Your Majesty can take all the way to Huguang Zhucheng, it turns out that there is such a special skill!

No matter how you look at it, this is a steady move.

As long as the Ming army blows up the city wall, won't Nanchang City be captured?

...

...

In Nanchang City, Hong Chengchou frowned.

It was his decision to retreat into the city, but it was extremely painful to make.

After all, the Qing army dug trenches outside the city for a long time, and the fortifications that were finally erected were abandoned like this, and anyone would feel distressed.

But if you don't retreat, you won't be able to hold it.

There is no field battle under cover and the real guns of the Ming army? Hong Chengchou wouldn't do that.

What's more, the Ming army also has a hot air balloon.

After seeing it once, Hong Chengchou doesn't plan to experience it a second time.

There are many commanding heights in Nanchang City, and if the Ming army still plans to sneak attack by hot air balloon, the possibility of the Qing army hitting it is much greater.

No matter how you look at it, retreating to the city is the only way to survive.

But they only survived.

How to continue to live is a problem that Hong Chengchou must consider.

According to Lu Guisheng, there are only two killer weapons of the Ming army. The hot air balloon is one, and the coffin bombing city is another.

Lu Guisheng told Hong Chengchou the general process of the coffin bombing the city, probably digging a tunnel first, and then putting the coffin full of gunpowder down and finally igniting the gunpowder.

The huge impact force will directly blow up the city wall, and the Ming army will use this collapsed city wall to attack.

Now that he knows the routine of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou naturally wants to start targeted defense.

First of all, arrange for the city walls to be dispensed with fire cannons.

According to Lu Guisheng, the tunnels dug by the Ming army will not be too long, which determines that the Ming army will definitely be within the range of artillery.

There is still a great advantage in shelling at high places.

There are enough artillery pieces in Nanchang City to cover most of them.

The only problem is that Geng Jimao seems to be a little resistant.

In fact, Hong Chengchou can also understand.

After all, Geng Jimao had the opportunity to withdraw like Shang Kexi at the beginning.

It was Hong Chengchou who personally went to Geng Jimao's camp to persuade Geng Jimao to stay.

Now it's good that Geng Jimao is trapped in the city, and seeing that the water around the Ming army is impassable, it is impossible to break through.

I can only grit my teeth and hold on.

In this case, it is strange that Geng Jimao's attitude can be good.

But no matter what Geng Jimao's attitude is, Hong Chengchou still has to lose his smile.

After all, relying on the strength of Jiangxi Green Camp alone is not enough to hold Nanchang.

The atmosphere in the governor's yamen was very different from that of a dozen days ago.

Although Geng Jimao is here, his mind is obviously not there.

Seeing Geng Jimao with a stinky face, Hong Chengchou forced a smile and said: "At present, the great enemy is still hoping that King Jingnan can focus on the overall situation..."

It's good that he didn't say this, but Geng Jimao was directly blown up as soon as he said it.

What does Hong Jingluo mean by this? Is it because this king doesn't focus on the big picture? Obviously, it was the king of Pingnan who escaped from the battle, causing the whole plan to be disrupted. Now Hong Jingluo is going to blame the king? ”

Geng Jimao's tone was very unkind, and his face was even more pale.

Hong Chengchou was also very uncomfortable in his heart.

If he had been scolded like this ten years ago, he would have blown up a long time ago.

But now his efforts to cultivate his qi have obviously improved a lot, even if Geng Jimao looks like this, he still said with a pleasant face: "King Jingnan, don't be angry." What King Pingnan did, this scripture is a little bit of a scripture, and he will definitely write an excerpt to explain it to the emperor afterwards. I believe that the emperor will definitely reprimand him fiercely. ”

"As for King Jingnan, if he can follow me to defend Nanchang, he will have made a great achievement. The emperor will definitely reward the prince greatly. ”

Hong Chengchou's words were actually to appease Geng Jimao.

But Geng Jimao is not stupid, this kind of thing is a flower in the moon mirror in the water, and the premise is that Geng Jimao must win the battle.

But that's easier said than done.

Geng Jimao still had some confidence more than ten days ago, but now he is weaker than anyone else.

Not to mention taking the initiative, it will be Amitabha Buddha to be able to defend Nanchang.

"Why did the thief suddenly become so ferocious?" Geng Jimao felt angry and said: "I knew that I should have encircled and suppressed Kunming in the first place, and I didn't let the thieves come back." ”

"It's useless to talk about this now, you still have to think about how to defend Nanchang."

Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "Sticking to it is definitely not the way. Can the King of Jingnan transfer troops from Fujian? ”

Only now did Geng Jimao understand that Hong Chengchou was still playing his own mind.

He was angry and laughed: "It's that this king wants to transfer troops, does Hong Jingluo think the news has spread?" This Nanchang city is surrounded like an iron bucket, how can you send messengers out? ”

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be a messenger. There are a lot of carrier pigeons in Nanchang City, which can fly pigeons to pass on books. ”

"Flying Pigeon? Is this reliable? ”

Geng Jimao asked suspiciously: "Hong Jingluo won't be happy with this king, right?" ”

"When is it, where is the old man still in this mood. King Jingnan, rest assured. The old man has already released the carrier pigeon, and Zhejiang and Yangzhou have asked for help. ”

Hearing this, Geng Jimao couldn't believe it or not.

He hesitated for a long time before nodding his head and agreeing: "Okay, this king will write a handwritten letter, hoping that the carrier pigeon can be brought to Fujian." ”

It is one thing for a flying pigeon to send a message for help, and it is another thing to hold Nanchang.

If you can't keep it, everything is in vain.

"Most of the old men in Nanchang City have already been arranged. The rest still need the support of King Jingnan. ”

Hong Chengchou has already said this, and it is meaningless for Geng Jimao to continue.

They are now grasshoppers on a rope and have to help each other if they want to live.

"The king will send an army to the head of the city to garrison it. What exactly needs to be done, Hong Jingluo arranged. ”

Hearing Geng Jimao's words, Hong Chengchou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"King Jingnan is so righteous, the old man admires it."
