The old man shook his head one after another, implicitly criticizing Wu Zheng, and there was no doubt that he was with Jianyu. When this captive entered the city, he saw what he was robbing, but Wu Zheng was different, he took the local rich family who had already paid the money to testify against other rich people. It can be described as uprooting and a nest of ends.

In the end, the evaluation summed up is still the most accurate four words - General Hate the Sky.

The young are different, they have blood, even if they are scholars who have no power to restrain the chicken, then they have to shout a few times rather than for the broken jade than for the tile, Kong said Chengren Meng said to take righteousness, isn't it?

Although it is just shouting, they can't do anything, and they don't have the courage to do it, but that doesn't mean they don't want to do it, of course, provided that there is no danger.

People always have a sense of honor and shame, especially these readers.

Now Wu Zheng has made their hope, the hope of being alive like a man.

It's like a drowning person who suddenly finds a straw, and even if it still sinks, he has to sacrifice his life to pounce on it and grab it.

Therefore, nine times out of ten, the young people in the city are Wu Zheng's supporters.

They almost unanimously supported Wu Zheng, and took to the streets one after another, calling on the young and strong people in the city to serve the country, fight on the bloody battlefield, restore the Ming Dynasty, and make meritorious contributions.

Of course, they themselves would not have signed up for the death squad.

There is another category, and that is the women of the city.

At least half of the women regard Wu Zheng as a revenge, and these women are basically mothers.

The money given by Wu Zheng to buy his life is too high, so high that ordinary people are greedy, knowing that it is a dead end, but exchanging the life of one person for the comfort of the whole family and changing the dilemma of poverty in one fell swoop is undoubtedly a temptation.

Especially for those families with more than two children, this night is a farewell to life and death.

As a mother, the heart is always softer and more ...... than that of a father It hurts.

There are also those girls who are waiting for Yun Ying to be unmarried, and they hate Wu Zheng even more, because many of their fiancés have already gone to sign up despite the obstruction.

If you have a marriage, you have a family with your in-laws, even if you don't pass the door and your fiancé dies, you are still a widow.

Therefore, they hated Wu Zheng to the point of gritting their teeth.

But there are also women who support Wu Zheng, especially those women who have been bullied by the Tartars and are still alive in the world, in their hearts, who can avenge the humiliation they have suffered, that is, their reborn parents, even if they pay for it, they will not hesitate.

These women spontaneously joined the ranks of the scholars to promote the newspaper army.

There is also a handful of women, they are big families in the city, and they are young ladies who don't go out of the door and don't step out of the second door.

These days, they heard a few words about Wu Zheng from their father and brother, so they hid in the boudoir and began to fantasize.

They don't care if Wu Zheng is a good person or a bad person.

Even if Wu Zheng is a heinous bandit, it is difficult to stop the girl from Huaichun.

Hide, alone, slowly think, think about how good and handsome he is, until you think you are stupid.

is like those star-chasing girls in later generations.

Therefore, in the city of Hangzhou, there are mixed reviews of Wu Zheng, and those who say that they are good will promote Wu Zheng as a hero of the world. People who say bad things demean Wu Zheng as a demon who loots people's wealth, kills people without blinking, and eats people without spitting out bones.

But none of this can change the rolling wheel of conscription.

In one day, Li Ruhai selected 800 strong from thousands of applicants to form the first death squad under Wu Zheng's banner, unlike other enlisted soldiers, they do not accept any training, even the most basic training, they only accept the preferential treatment of good food and drink.

When Wu Zheng inspected this team, his mood was unusually heavy, and he always felt that there was something blocking his heart.

In the end, he did not say anything, but gave them in person the promised twenty taels of silver for each person.

Looking at those young faces full of smiles, Wu Zheng sighed in his heart, brother, do you know that you are facing nine deaths and one life.

But thinking about it the other way, why don't you and the soldiers under your command die nine times for a lifetime?

Thinking like this, Wu Zheng suddenly became relaxed.

……。

The battle began in the early hours of the next morning.

When the soldiers on the city wall watched the black and oppressive enemy troops in the distance slowly coming towards Qingchun Gate, they all let out a low cheer.

This gamble is half won.

The generals, including Wu Zheng, couldn't help but smile.

In view of the lack of troops, Wu Zheng ordered to defend only the Qingchun and Qingtai gates, especially the Qingchun Gate.

The two gates of the northern city, each gate is only defended by a hundred people, that is, standing on the city wall and lining up, just put on a show, once the enemy attacks from there, it will fall in an instant.

Wu Zheng concentrated his forces at the three gates of Dongcheng, but there were also priorities, predicting the most likely Qingchun Gate, and concentrating eighty percent of his troops.

There are only 1,000 defenders in Qingtaimen, and it is the closest to Qingchun Gate, and it only takes half an hour to reinforce it.

Yongchangmen deployed 2,000 people, and it took an hour to hold out.

But no matter what, in fact, Wu Zheng has already abandoned Qingtai and Yongchang in his heart, in fact, it is a desperate bet.

This is not Wu Zheng's play, but a last resort, originally the soldiers are only a quarter of the enemy, and if the troops are divided to defend, there will be only a dead end.

But apparently, Wu Zheng's gamble was successful.

The Tartars really came to Qingchun Gate.

The soldiers of the Ming army gathered at the city gate were full of blood and morale.

It can be said that at this time, even if the most brutal hand-to-hand combat comes soon, the soldiers of the Ming army will not be afraid of the Tartars in the slightest.

Because they have some faith in their hearts.

The object of faith is Wu Zheng, and the bet is won, which is only a 20% probability, and he really bet right.

Everyone's heart has a reverie about victory, which is in stark contrast to the previous apprehension.

The knife is in hand, the arrow is on the string, and they are all waiting for the moment of life and death.

But no one could have predicted that the first action of the Tartars was not the infantry, but the ...... Artillery.

When the roaring cannon sounded, there was no need to explain the soldiers, and even Wu Zheng was shocked.

He never imagined that the Tartars would bring heavy artillery to attack the city.

This may be because Wu Zheng has never been in contact with the red-clothed cannon, or maybe Wu Zheng is just a small clerk in a fifth-tier city, and he is not familiar with history, which has caused him to be very passive at the moment.

Under Wu Zheng, except for Qian Qiaogong, who had received systematic military training, the rest of the people, including Chi Erhan and Song An, were not familiar with artillery, and had not even seen artillery.

The fastest reaction was not Wu Zheng's henchmen, but Chen Shoujie's father and son, when Chen Shoujie roared bitterly: "Shelling!! ”

Chen Qicai quickly ran up and threw Wu Zheng to the ground.

The violent shaking made everyone panic, and even many soldiers didn't have time to react at all, standing there stupidly, their mouths wide open.

Heaven has no eyes, and refuses to send a torrential rain to extinguish this calamity.
