It rained heavily for three days and three nights, and both sides had a very tacit truce, using this rare time to adjust.

The wounded can also use this time to recover.

Although the recovery may not be good, it is better to rest for a day than to fight hard in the rain.

After this heavy rain, the trenches dug seemed to be useless, and Zhu Youlang was also discussing a backup plan with Li Dingguo and others.

In the case that both sides could not use the trenches, how to minimize the losses was the first issue that Zhu Youlang needed to consider.

"Your Majesty might as well kill it directly with a hot air balloon, wasn't the previous effect very good? It's good to blow up our main force directly in one round. ”

Li Dingguo belongs to the kind of person who doesn't talk much.

In his opinion, the psychological defense line of the Qing army has almost collapsed.

In this case, as long as the Ming army dared to charge, the Qing army would collapse at the first touch.

Of course, it would be great if you could blow up the fuck with a hot air balloon before then.

Zhu Youlang nodded.

That's a good idea.

Judging from the effect of the hot air balloon last time, it is clear that the Qing army does not have much to do with this thing.

As long as the hot air balloon flies high enough, ordinary crossbow arrows and firebolts will not hurt it at all.

The Ming army on the hot air balloon can drop grenades and other killing weapons to achieve a piece strike.

No matter how you look at it, the Ming army is more dominant.

"Hong Chengchou and Geng Jimao's camps are now connected, and their camps are next to the city gate."

Zhu Youlang paused for a moment and analyzed carefully: "So Hong Chengchou still has a back hand, and if the situation is not good, they can immediately withdraw into the city." ”

Li Dingguo agreed: "Your Majesty is right. Although they may not all be able to withdraw into the city, there should be no problem with the main elite. This is really something that our army cannot stop. ”

Zhao Xu on the side tried to ask: "Will we besiege the city again?" Or how to put it? ”

Zhu Youlang thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice: "Maybe you can besiege but not attack, and wait until the army of Kuidong Zhuxun and King Zhong arrives." ”

Zhu Youlang is still very confident in the armies of these two roads.

As long as these two armies are waited, the Ming army will be able to surpass the Qing army in the city in absolute strength.

At that time, whether you choose to attack or outwit it, it will be safe, and if you don't wait for them to arrive, rash attack is tantamount to giving the Qing army a chance.

The more advantageous the side in the war, the less you need to gamble, as long as you choose the most stable way.

Anyway, I'm going to win, so why should I gamble?

As long as the inferior side needs to rely on gambling to fight, it is naturally good to fight, and there is nothing to regret if you can't fight.

Li Dingguo also felt that this was the best choice.

It is true that the Ming army did not encounter much resistance in the Battle of Jiangxi, but it does not mean that the Battle of Nanchang will not.

Especially Hong Chengchou, who was forced into a corner, would definitely fight to the end, and there was no need for the Ming army to fight hard at this time.

Isn't it nice to eat your opponent by relying on numerical superiority?

"Your Majesty, then we will surround Nanchang City and not let a single fly out!"

It was not difficult to do this, and the Qing army would certainly be frightened by then.

It was Hong Chengchou who asked their main force to break through, and I am afraid that few people will respond.

"The only question is whether we have enough food and grass?"

Zhu Youlang remembered that they brought a month's rations this time, and now there should only be half a month left, right?

"Your Majesty, there is indeed not much food. But it's enough for ten days. ”

Li Dingguo paused and said, "The minister can order someone to collect grain." ”

Zhu Youlang shook his head: "Don't do such things that disturb the people." In this way, you send a partial division to Yichun to transfer all the grain from the city treasury. ”

It takes at least four or five days to come and go back to Yichun, although the time is a little long, but it is enough.

Now that the Qing army in Jiangxi is concentrated in Nanchang, there should be no army in Yichun.

"Obey the order!"

Li Dingguo clenched his fists and took the order.

In fact, Zhu Youlang is also cautious, so that he will not suddenly run out of food.

In fact, he felt that ten days was enough to take Nanchang. 1800 Literature

...

After the rain, the sun rose again into the sky.

The warm sunlight sprinkled on people's bodies is very warm and comfortable.

But for the Ming soldiers, this meant that the time had come for a general offensive.

In the past two days, they have sharpened their knives, and Huo Huo has been waiting for this time.

The hot air balloon lifted off again at the sound of the horn.

With the experience of the last time, the soldiers of the Tiger Army are more comfortable with the height of the hot air balloon.

It's just that after they flew into the air, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

It turned out that the camp of the Qing army was empty, and only the camp tent and some pots and stoves that had not had time to be cleaned up were left.

The Qing army has withdrawn into the city ahead of schedule!

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army immediately returned and reported the news to the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Youlang was not too surprised when he learned about it. On the contrary, he felt that this was very much in line with Hong Chengchou's style.

Hong Chengchou belongs to the kind of extreme egoist.

He will always choose the optimal solution when faced with a choice.

If it weren't for this sudden heavy rain, the Qing army would have collapsed.

God gave Hong Chengchou another chance, how could Hong Chengchou not use it?

He must have concluded that the Qing army could not deal with the hot air balloon in the field, so he decided to return to the city before the rain stopped.

At least there are more high points in the city, and the ones who shoot from the heights may be higher.

Zhu Youlang actually doesn't care about this.

Anyway, in his opinion, Hong Chengchou will withdraw into the city sooner or later, and now it is just in advance.

"What should Your Majesty do now?"

"Go as planned. Surround Nanchang City. ”

Zhu Youlang now wants to see what kind of waves Hong Chengchou can make when he is trapped in the lonely city.

...

...

The atmosphere in Nanchang City is almost cold.

There were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and people closed their doors and hid in their homes.

At this time, wandering around the streets is likely to be taken away and filled with strong men.

The tense atmosphere before the big war made everyone's hearts rise to their throats.

What exactly was the Ming army like? Is it true that he loves the people as rumored, and Qiu has not committed any crimes?

Or is it as good as the Qing army?

They won't go out easily until they figure it out.

Whether the Ming army or the Qing army can win this battle, they don't really care.

They just want to be able to return to a peaceful life as soon as possible.

Those who should do business do business, and those who should read books.

To whom to hand over the imperial grain is not to pay?

Of course, if the Ming Dynasty can collect less taxes, they still welcome the Ming army to become the master.

After all, the taxes levied by the Manchus were somewhat too heavy.

It's just that they are afraid that the Ming army will not last, and if Nanchang City is finally recaptured by the Qing army, they will be miserable.

After all, the Ming army must have asked them to cut their braids, and if the Qing army saw them cut off their braids, they would have lost their heads.

So they planned to prepare with both hands, and if the Ming army entered the city, they would hide the cut braids. If the Qing army came back, they would tie the braids again.
