After Tian Bin left, Hu Kui frowned and said, "My lord, this Tian Bin can't be trusted." ”

Zhang Qiang played with the horsewhip, looking at the cliffs, steep slopes, and lush trees on both sides, "It's okay, I know." ”

"And you're still there?" Hu Kui asked puzzled.

Wei Wuji covered his mouth and smiled beside him, and Hu Kui said angrily: "What kind of laughter, you are smart." ”

"Hahaha," Wei Wuji laughed out loud and explained to Hu Kui, "My lord, this is a way to lure the enemy to attack, and wait for work,"

Wei Wuji said with a smile on the side: "Yes, our army does not understand the specific strength and deployment of the enemy, send Tian Bin just to test the enemy, if the enemy army comes to attack, the number of troops is less, our army can take advantage of the geographical advantage to destroy the enemy, if there are too many troops, one can share the pressure for Jinhua Mansion, and the other is that the enemy's superior forces can be diverted, and then use the guerrilla warfare that our army makes good use of, drag the enemy tired, drag away, and disperse, and then our army will fight back, with the whole army of our army, annihilate the enemy army, the enemy army will retreat, and our army will suddenly attack the enemy's weakness, The enemy will be terrified......".

Hu Kui turned around and said to Zhang Qiang: "My lord is smart." ”

Zhang Qiang looked proud, but said on his lips: "Shao Poor Mouth, tonight's camp, arrange it immediately, Liuhe Jinbu and Lin Chengcheng Department are in the bright place, Mi Lin Department is monitoring in the hillside woods, Mi Chun Department chooses a place to hide, plug the gap, other troops are not allowed to camp, just find a hidden place on the hillside to rest on the spot, at night, let's wait for the enemy's sneak attack, and then wait for the enemy to kill He Jin, Lin Yang's camp, when the Milin Department attacks, the whole army is surrounded, and you must not get rid of an enemy." ”

"Yes, sir." The three of them replied in unison.

Hu Kui said: "My lord, can the former army of the Xuanyuan Dragon Flying Department notify me first?" ”

Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "Well, send someone to inform them, let them also camp in the bright place, the camp is too few, I am afraid that the enemy will be suspicious, however, he was ordered to make his camp bigger, and the people of the headquarters should pay attention to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, Xuanyuan Longfei, this kid seems to only know how to practice martial arts all day long, and he is competitive, but sometimes, this kid is more shrewd, give him a hint, and he will know how to do it." ”

"Hahaha," several people laughed again.

Over the mountain peak, the field of vision swept from several mountain villages outside Jinhua Mansion, and came to the top of Jinhua County to look down, the traces of the battlefield became more and more obvious, collapsed siege vehicles, ladders, and even some human body fragments that were too late to clean up, scattered all over the trees outside Jinhua County, the top of the canopy boat, the broken battle flag, and then close to the city wall, there are still the corpses of soldiers on both sides who are hanging upside down on the city wall and have no time to deal with it, the city wall is dilapidated, obviously after the baptism of cannons again, many places have collapsed.

Beyond the city wall, the second wall is incomplete, many places have either collapsed or have been cleaned up, leaving only some convenient passages for chariots, horses, and soldiers to pass through, and the rolling hills still have corpses lying in many places, too late to take them away, and many houses have collapsed and are empty.

The sight came to the sky above the county government and the government office, where the Qing army was still fighting with the righteous army, when the battle seemed very scattered, many places were a pile of seven or eight people, surrounded by a large group of Qing troops to fight, the main force of the righteous army was on the way to Zhufu, and the Qing army was strangled and killed again, there were a lot of people, about two or three thousand people.

On the periphery of Zhufu, there are three consecutive chest walls, many archers, and the people hide inside, continuously carrying corpses, and building a wall-like fortification, Zhang Qiang's layer-by-layer defense policy has been recognized by the righteous army, after Zhang Qiang left, the righteous army built this place, which is also the last defense site, like a small fortress.

In some places, there are even Fulong machine guns, tiger squat cannons, and larger Hongyi cannons that captured the Qing army, but at the moment no one operates here, and those cannons are placed there crookedly, like scrap iron.

It is not that there are no firearms on the battlefield, occasionally there will be one or two guns raised in some places, but there is no lethality, and the two sides of the war are still mainly cold weapons melee combat.

Outside the Zhu Mansion, a small courtyard that has not been captured, in the small alley, a large number of people, crowded here, crying, panicking, sitting or lying, ragged, many people are sitting dry, looking up at the sky, their eyes are blank, some rebel soldiers are also here, they wipe the weapons in their hands, or nervously repair the weapons in their hands.

A cursory look at it, I'm afraid there are not thousands of people, these people have stretched all the way to the outer wall of the Zhu Mansion, filling every inch from the hillside streets that have not been captured to the outer wall of the Zhu Mansion.

In the Zhu Mansion, there are also many people who are also panicked, but these people are gorgeously dressed, at least they don't look like ordinary people.

The further you go inside, the more sparse it becomes, until the backyard of Zhu's mansion, where there are thirty or fifty rebel soldiers, twenty or thirty servants, and more than a dozen family members, all fully armed, looking at everyone who passes by with vigilant eyes.

In the backyard of Zhu's mansion, Zhu Dadian walked back and forth, looking flustered and without an idea.

The housekeeper and a few concubines stood aside with blushing faces.

"My lord, my lord, I can't wait any longer, let's make a decision!" The housekeeper looked anxious and persuaded Zhu Dadian hard.

A family member ran in, "Report to the lord, garrison Lu Jinzhong, the commander of the guard asks for all, and asks the lord to see." ”

"Please." Zhu Dadian stood there, with his hands behind his back, touched his beard, and pretended to be calm.

Lu Jinzhong, Zhu Dadian's newly appointed Jinhua garrison, said anxiously to Zhu Dadian as soon as he came in:

"My lord, it's blocked, the Qing army has too many troops, this time almost 15,000 people have been invested, taking turns to attack us, we have too few manpower, the soldiers are getting fewer and fewer, there are less than 4,000 people in front of us, more than 1,000 people have been captured, more than 3,000 people have been killed, the young and strong have almost died, the people have been slaughtered, there are only 7,000 people left, all of them are old and weak, we have no soldiers available, now the morale is low, the collapse is just around the corner, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Commander Wei also said: "My lord, we have to think of a complete strategy, otherwise, we will be annihilated by the Qing army tonight." ”

Lu Jinzhong saw Zhu Dadian's hesitant appearance, and took a step forward, "My lord, I am willing to resist the Qing army for my lord, please take advantage of the Qing army to break through here, make plans early, change into people's clothes, and leave at night, I am willing to send a team of loyal dead soldiers to escort the lord out of the city, the defense of the Qing army at the north gate is not very strict, and the lord can leave quickly." ”

"My lord, make a decision early." ”

Zhu Dadian closed his eyes, he had already done it once for the Ming Dynasty, he was hesitating now, should he be loyal again, his letters for help had been sent for half a month, Emperor Kelongwu still did not send someone to rescue him, not even a reply, he sent more than a dozen messengers for help, and now he is about to be annihilated by the Qing army, and the emperor has not come, which makes him feel that his death is not worth it.

But he didn't want to be an unfaithful courtier who abandoned the city and fled, which was related to his reputation behind him, and it was really difficult to do.
