Haoge, Yue Tuo looked at Andingmen, his face was very ugly.

They still couldn't take the Anding Gate, and when they saw that it was going to be dark again, they were extremely angry in their hearts, but they were helpless.

"Withdraw." Yue Tuo sighed lightly in his heart and spoke.

Hauge didn't want to, didn't want to, wouldn't, but he also knew that there was no point in spending it like this.

Jianyu quickly shouted gold, as if the army that was about to capture Andingmen retreated like a tide.

All the soldiers on Andingmen breathed a sigh of relief, including Zhou Zhengnei.

Zhou Zheng watched Jianyu withdraw his troops, his expression relaxed a lot, no matter what, today is over, and he has another night to prepare.

Cao Bianjiao was exhausted, his armor was shattered, and the blood on his body could no longer distinguish whether it was his or the enemy's.

He came to Zhou Zheng with difficulty, showed a stiff smile, and said, "My lord, let's keep it." ”

Zhou Zheng exhaled lightly and said, "Hmm." ”

Saying this, he was not at ease at all. Today he has suffered heavy losses here, and there may be less than 5,000 people who can fight, and the momentum of Jianyu's vow not to give up is undiminished, and tomorrow will inevitably be even more tragic than today.

What else can I do?

Zhou Zheng gave Cao Bianjiao a calm look, turned around and walked towards the city.

Zhou Zheng went to Shen Yongmao for the first time, stood in front of his desk, and said, "My lord, I'm afraid tomorrow will be a battle that will decide the outcome of the battle, and I have to find a way." ”

Shen Yongmao even saw it clearly than Zhou Zheng, and said expressionlessly: "I have already let Zhao Shujiao enter the city." ”

Zhou Zheng frowned and said, "Five thousand people, I'm afraid it's not enough, there are still 30,000 people in Jianyu, and we add up to less than half." ”

Shen Yongmao said: "The other doors can't be moved, and there is no one on the British side, so they can only recruit the young people in the city." ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "It's not a way. ”

Shen Yongmao didn't know that he hadn't slept for several days, his face was full of exhaustion, and he said, "You appease the city soldiers first, and I will discuss with you again, and then find a way." ”

Zhou Zheng's heart was heavy, so he didn't say much, and raised his hand to withdraw.

Walking on the road of martial law, there were soldiers and officials patrolling back and forth, Zhou Zheng felt the atmosphere of depression and fear, thought about it, and walked in the direction of Zhou's mansion.

Zhou Fang and Zhou Ding were startled when they saw him come back covered in blood, and before they could speak, Zhou Zheng said, "I squinted in the living room for a while, and my father came back and called me." ”

Zhou Fang saw that Zhou Zheng was walking a little shaky, knowing that he was tired, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you go and squint, I'll send someone to find my father." ”

Zhou Zheng hadn't slept for several days, and he didn't even have the strength to come to the back hall, but before he could go in, he lay down on the stairs with difficulty.

Zhou Ding was startled and wanted to help him, but Zhou Fang grabbed him and said, "Get him a quilt and find someone to watch." ”

Zhou Ding retracted his hand and said worriedly: "Will it catch a cold on such a cold day?" I think the second uncle seems to be very hungry, should I make him some food......"

Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng's tired face, frowned tightly when he fell asleep, and said, "Let him sleep for a while." ”

Zhou Dingshi didn't say anything more when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to find the quilt.

Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, looked at the north gate with a solemn expression, and suddenly turned around and walked out.

When Zhou Zheng woke up, he was still lying on the stone steps, wrapped in a thick quilt, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there were people standing in front of him.

Zhou Fang, Liu Liuzhe, Cheng Economy, Shangguan Xun, Shangguan Qing and others are all there.

Zhou Zheng frowned, got up from the quilt, and said, "Why are you all here?" ”

Zhou Fangdao: "I have recruited more than fifty people, and I will go to the city with you tomorrow." ”

Liu Liuzhen said: "Second Young Master, our guys from Zhou Ji are here, there are more than seventy people. ”

Cheng Economic said: "Dongjia, I have also recruited more than 100 people to defend the city together tomorrow!" ”

Shangguan Qing was just about to speak, Zhou Zheng waved his hand, slapped his clothes again, and said, "You do yours, I think of my way." ”

This person can't solve the problem at all, if he wants to defend the city, Zhou Zheng has to find another way, just about to ask Daddy Zhou when he will come back, Zhou Fang suddenly shouted: "What do you call your method?" The skin does not have hair, and it will be attached! Are we just watching? We are dignified seven-foot men, if we don't go into battle at this time, when will we go into battle!? ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned by Zhou Fang's yelling, this was the first time Zhou Fang had spoken like this.

Cheng Economy also raised his hand and said with a deep color: "My lord, at this time, we can't hide if we want to." ”

Zhou Fang's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Judge, you are older than me; At home, I'm your big brother! In the country, I am also an official of the imperial court, protecting the family and defending the country, how can I be the queen! ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Fang's expression, and then looked at the other almost similar expressions, nodded lightly, gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "Okay, tomorrow we will defend the city together!" ”

"The eldest husband can't wrap his body in horse leather, and he dies in defending the country!" Zhou Fang said in a deep voice.

Zhou Zheng's eyes were a little red, Daming has no shortage of loyal people, and Daming still has to be saved!

Zhou Zheng's heart was surging, he took a calm breath, and said, "I'll let people compile and issue armor weapons for you!" ”

Everyone nodded in unison and followed Zhou Zheng out of the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Ding held the two children in his arms, looked at their backs, pursed his lips, his eyes were full of tears, and he muttered to himself.

Fu Bo, Lin Bo and others looked at their backs, and suddenly felt a little hatred in their hearts, hating them for being old and frail, unable to hold a knife, and unable to go to the city.

Zhou Zheng arranged for Zhou Fang and others to continue to walk around the capital, thinking hard about countermeasures.

Although the current situation is much better than the siege of more than 100,000 troops in history, it is just as critical!

There is a lot of chaos in the capital, even if martial law is imposed, there are still many people who can escape from the city by various means, and the huge capital is full of panic and fear.

Zhou Zheng came to Deshengmen and found Man Gui.

Man Gui listened to his words, his eyes widened, and he said, "You want to attack at night?" ”

Zhou Zheng had no expression on his face, his eyes were very firm, and he said: "Except for this method, we are almost bound to lose!" ”

Man Gui's beard was covered with blood stains and dust, and he frowned tightly in an instant, and said in a hoarse voice: "But it's too risky, and the court will definitely not agree." Moreover, if Jianyu is prepared, then we are killing ourselves, and the capital will be self-defeating......"

Zhou Zheng naturally understood the risks involved, and said, "In addition to taking risks, what else can we do?" ”

Man Gui is also a long-time military person, thought about it carefully, and said: "It's worth the risk, but what about the imperial court?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "Let's go to see Shen Shangshu and Bi Shangshu together, and then go to see the emperor together, we must convince the emperor, this is the only way for us to win!" ”

Man Gui took two bites of the cake in his hand and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

At the same time, Chongzhen summoned three auxiliary ministers, Shen Yongmao, and Bi Ziyan to the Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace, the lights were bright, Chongzhen's face was expressionless, and behind him stood Wang Chengen and Li Zhong.

Outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, there are more than 20 brocade guards, filled with a silent murderous atmosphere.

Han Huang, Qian Longxi, Shen Yongmao and others had solemn faces, and it was the first time they had seen such a formation in the Qianqing Palace.

"Look at this script." Chongzhen handed over a notebook in front of him.

Shen Yongmao's heart was cold, and he had a strong sense of uneasiness.
