Chapter 267: Pre-Battle Preparations

Zhu Hao's execution of Zhang Qianhu did not feel anything for Zhu Hao, first of all, Zhang Qianhu did violate the military law, and secondly, Zhu Hao did want to forcibly control Shanhaiguan.

Because now the military town in Liaodong has been lost, and the soldiers and horses in Liaodong have been lost, Shanhaiguan has become the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hao knows the history of this era, because his appearance has deviated.

Although it is the first year of the Apocalypse, it is not clear whether Houjin will cross the Shanhaiguan Pass now and reach the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, if that is the case, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

Zhu Hao couldn't let him save Daming's grand wish, and there were any accidents, so the death of a Zhang Qianhu was really not a big deal for Zhu Hao, who is now becoming more and more hard-hearted.

After Zhu Hao finished executing Zhang Qianhu, he hurriedly held a military meeting in the General Military Mansion of Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Hao was in such a hurry to convene a military meeting because he had a feeling that it was possible for Houjin to send troops to Shanhaiguan, and he had to make all defensive preparations before that.

With Zhu Hao's military order issued, several important generals under his command soon gathered in the General Military Mansion.

Zhu Hao saw that everyone had arrived, so he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly:

"Generals, everyone must know about it!"

"Now Jianyu has occupied Liaoyang City!"

"This king estimates that these Jianjun will not just give up!"

"It's entirely possible that they will take the opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan!"

"Therefore, this king announced that the Shanhaiguan will be closed from now on, and the soldiers of the whole customs will enter a state of first-level combat readiness!"

After Zhu Hao's words were finished, the expressions on the faces of all the generals became a little more serious, and they knew that a big war might be coming.

Zhu Hao looked at the expressions on the faces of the generals, he was very satisfied, he nodded slightly, and then continued to order:

"Now this king promulgates the generals!"

Zhu Hao said, took out a token from the token bucket and said:

"Qin Bao listens to orders!"

Qin Qiong listened to Zhu Hao's words, and immediately came out to hug his fists:

"The last general!"

"This king orders you to lead a thousand soldiers to prepare more wood and stones on the mountain on the left side of Shanhaiguan to ambush!"

"I'll show you the red flag floating in the pass, and then start attacking!"

"When you run out of rolling wood and stone, use the Apocalypse Rifle to attack!"

Qin Qiong listened to Zhu Hao's words, hurriedly and respectfully, took the token in Zhu Hao's hand with both hands and said:

"The last general commands!"

After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he took the leader that Zhu Hao handed to him, and went out to order the troops to prepare.

After Qin Qiong left, Zhu Hao took out a token from the token bucket and said:

"Cheng Jin listens to orders!"

Cheng Yanjin listened to Zhu Hao's words, and immediately came out to hug his fist:

"The last general!"

"This king orders you to lead a thousand soldiers to prepare more wood and stones on the right side of Shanhaiguan to ambush!"

"I'll show you the red flag floating in the pass, and then start attacking!"

"When you run out of rolling wood and stone, use the Apocalypse Rifle to attack!"

Cheng Yanjin listened to Zhu Hao's words, hurriedly and respectfully, took the token in Zhu Hao's hand with both hands and said:

"The last general commands!"

After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he took the leader handed to him by Zhu Hao and went out to prepare for the troops.

Zhu Hao was very satisfied with this usually funny Cheng Biting Jin, who was able to be so obedient today, and nodded slightly.

Then Zhu Hao didn't take out the token again, but said directly:

"The rest of the people will be stationed at Shanhaiguan with this king!"

"Without the king's generals, no one is allowed to switch it on or off without permission!"

Zhu Hao said, looked at Xu Chu again, took out a decree and said:

"Xu Kang listens to orders!"

When Xu Chu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"The last general!"

Zhu Hao handed the order in his hand to Xu Chu and said:

"This king ordered you to be the chief commander of the soldiers and horses in the city!"

"Now this king, I order you to concentrate all the red-coated cannons in the city on the outer gates!"

"There are 4,000 soldiers left in the city, except for a reserve of 1,000 people, all of them have gone to the city wall to prepare to defend the city!"

After Xu Chu listened to Zhu Hao's words, he hurriedly bowed down and took the order signed by Zhu Hao into his hand and said:

"The last general commands!"

Then Xu Chu took Zhu Hao's order and went out to prepare.

Zhu Hao looked at the remaining generals in the room, and said in a heavy tone:

"This time Houjin's offensive soldiers and horses may not be less than 80,000!"

"We only have less than 10,000 soldiers, and this may be a tough battle for us!"

"All generals and officials must work together with one heart and one mind to live up to the trust of the imperial court!"

After Zhu Hao's words were finished, all the generals bowed down and said:

"The last will be ordered!"

Zhu Hao looked at the generals in the room, and his chest was also a little high-spirited, he stood up from the chair and said loudly:

"Scatter!"

Hearing this, the generals bowed down again and said in unison:

"The last will retire!"

After the generals finished speaking, they all left the council hall of the General Military Palace.

After Zhu Hao watched the generals leave, he turned to look at Wei Xiaobao beside him:

"Xiaobao!"

"The king didn't say it just now!"

"It's your mission that matters this time!"

"You have to keep contacting our intelligence officers in Liaodong now!"

"It is necessary to find out as soon as possible, the direction of Jianyu's actions, and the military strength!"

Wei Xiaobao knew that this matter was sloppy, and he no longer had the same hippie smile as before, but said very solemnly:

"Slaves obey!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the minion will do it!"

"We must find out the situation as soon as possible and report to Your Highness!"

Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's words and nodded with satisfaction, and then Wei Xiaobao also withdrew from the room and went to contact the intelligence officers in Liaodong to find out Houjin's movements.

After Wei Xiaobao also withdrew from the room, Zhu Hao was the only one left in the meeting hall of the huge Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion.

At this moment, Zhu Hao's mood was a little excited, he clenched his hands into fists, and secretly said to himself:

"These prisoners, don't let down the hard work of this king!"

"This king is not afraid of you coming!"

"If you come, this king can start the first battle of this king and save the Ming Dynasty!"

"This king wants to use the blood and heads of you captives to raise the prestige of my heavenly kingdom!"

"If you don't come, this king will be greatly disappointed!"

The reason why Zhu Hao is still looking forward to Houjin and attacking Shanhaiguan in the face of the disparity between the enemy and me is because Zhu Hao is completely sure in his heart.

Zhu Hao's grasp comes from the topography of Shanhaiguan, which is built between two mountains, and there is no other way to detour.

If Zhu Hao really has a strong wall and clears the wilderness, only guarding the pass and not going out, then Houjin can only carry out a frontal forced siege, but Houjin is not good at siege warfare and lacks siege equipment.

In such a situation, it is obvious that a forcible attack is simply unrealistic.
