After hearing this, Tan Maoxun immediately said: "What you gentlemen said is not unreasonable, we are waiting for the attack, naturally we are famous, but the current priority is to explore the reality of the thief army first." Soldiers and horses are about knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent. ”

Wang Shimin asked, "Then General Tan, what about the reality under the city?" ”

"Ben is also waiting for the scout to report."

Wang Shimin showed a look of regret, he felt that Tan Maoxun was perfunctory to him.

It's just that at this moment, he didn't have much to say, so he had to say: "We are a righteous crusade against no way, but we are bold and treacherous, just a thief, since the advantage is ten times more, since we can teach it to disappear with a snap of our fingers." But...... The general was cautious, but he was not unavoidable, but I had a reluctant request. ”

Tan Maoxun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that these people would urge him to enter the army.

In fact, the situation in the city is not as optimistic as he imagined, because the soldiers and horses are all transferred from the guards near Nanjing, and everyone's thoughts are very complicated.

And these readers, in fact, are not something that Tan Maoxun can afford to provoke, here in Jiangnan, people like Wang Shimin have too complicated relationships.

He is not only a matter of his ancestors being cabinet scholars, but also the famous Dong Qichang, the son of Yuan Keli, the original governor of Denglai, Yuan Shu, is still his old friend, as for his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, they are all gentry in Jiangnan, such people...... It's really unprovoked.

What's more, there is more than one Wang Shimin who came here.

I finally coaxed these people.

At this time, he listened to Wang Shimin and said: "Now that the war is about to break out, it is not easy for us to interfere with General Tan, but this place is related to the safety of Nanjing City, and the students are willing to stick to this place with the general and kill the thieves outside the city, I don't know if the general is willing to study and others to help defend the city." ”

Where did Tan Maoxun dare to stop it, he just said: "With the help of the virtuous brothers, then the generals can rest assured, the younger brothers are high-minded, and they will defend the city in the future, and I will definitely show credit for all the virtuous brothers." ”

Wang Shimin and the others were overjoyed, Tan Maoxun simply sent them an official document, and after asking for the official document, the group of scholars went to the city gate building in high spirits.

In fact, it's not that these scholars like to join in the fun, it's just that in their minds, things like defending the city don't refer to the Qiu Ba, only they, the scholars, have the ability to retreat from the enemy and respond to the situation.

Of course, the most important thing is that with ten systems of one, this battle will be won, come to join in the fun today, and after defeating the enemy in the future, there will be a few more boasting capital.

Not long after, with a little excitement, everyone ascended the tower, and the garrison of the tower heard their great name, as if they were offering their own grandfather.

Climb the city tower and look out, see the mountains undulating, and see the military horses hidden in the distance, far away, I can't see clearly, but it seems to be in array.

Wang Shimin and the others were excited, and someone couldn't help whispering: "Is the faint king there?" ”

Wang Shimin said: "Not to mention the faint king, the thief Zhang Jingyi, I'm afraid that he is also there." ”

Of course, these words can only be said in private, and it is still propaganda to the outside world.

They are the children of a big family, and they know a little bit about it.

The thought of punishing this faint monarch and his ministers made their blood boil.

On the Jiangnan side, the impression of this pair of monarchs and ministers can be said to be extremely bad, after all, ...... A large number of town guards and eunuchs came to collect taxes, which was already disgusting, not to mention what new policies were tossed? When Ming Wuzong was there, there was a eunuch named Liu Jin who did something in Jingcha, that is, the unqualified minister was directly deposed, and the result was that the heavens were angry and people resented, so everyone was punished.

Liu Jin's new deal is hateful, but when it comes to Zhang Jingyi's new deal, it is to dig everyone's roots!

This Zhang Jingyi is equivalent to their enemy, and they really can't wait to break his body into pieces immediately.

At this time, no one is willing to put on even the last fig leaf of loyalty.

Wang Shimin sneered: "When they are killed, this Jiangnan can be calmed." ”

"Brothers, I'm waiting to come here, wouldn't I be happy to see this situation, why don't you chant a poem to make a strong noise?"

The crowd applauded.

Wang Shimin said with a smile at this time: "Today's thieves are killed, I don't know how many people have been killed, I think of the suffering of the common people, and I really don't know where the happiness comes from." Now...... The war is imminent, and I think that I will be full of devastation, and my heart is clear, in my opinion, this poem is not necessary. ”

When the people heard this, they were in awe.

They all said to Wang Shimin: "Brother Wang's thoughtfulness is really admirable. ”

Wang Shimin put his hands behind his back and smiled: "We are all under the Confucian sect, people with the common people in our hearts, today I see thieves raising troops and rioting in Jiangnan, and the people of my generation should serve as Ban Chao." ”

The crowd applauded.

After patrolling the city wall for a while, it seemed that it was cold, and there was no meaning as imagined, and everyone was surprised, and then someone said: "I heard that there are also wine shops in this military town, so I might as well wait and sit down!" ”

"I just don't know if there's anyone to accompany you." Someone laughed.

Originally, the man said: "There is a prostitute here, and when you go to the wine shop, you will find out when you ask." ”

Then the crowd was in high spirits again.

Wang Shimin also said arrogantly: "Go." ”

Met down the city wall, found a wine shop, there are already a lot of military attachés here, it turned out that the next door is a brothel, but let people pick a few women, it turned out that these women, blowing, playing and singing are very bad, and the posture is also second-rate. It is far inferior to the thin horse in the Qinhuai River, it is really a heaven and an underground.

So they didn't have much taste, and at last they dispersed.

……

A day later.

The positions of the artillery were arranged.

Followed by...... It was to begin to probe, feeling the distance and orientation of the artillery positions in the military town.

Then, it was these artillerymen who began to take out the calculations according to the position.

This new type of artillery has a longer range and higher accuracy, and it is no longer the time to shoot blindly in the past.

In accordance with Zhang Jingyi's intentions, the artillery training team has already listed a firing table for artillery after conducting artillery experiments again and again, and all artillery soldiers need to study it.

By this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's patience had reached its limit.

The attack took place at dawn the next day.

After dawn, bombard the city directly, and make sure that this military town is taken directly before dawn.

Not to mention winning more with less, it is simply a fool's dream to win a military town of this scale within a few hours.

However, the order was issued, and no one objected.

The 6th Training Squadron, to which the artillery belonged, rested early after the meeting of the officers and men of each squad after the meeting was overfired.

The other teaching teams take shifts to rest.

That night, the lights in the big tent of the Emperor of the Apocalypse were bright, and he looked at Yutu in a daze.

At this time, he had already anticipated all the possible movements of the officers and soldiers in the city, but he thought about it carefully...... It doesn't seem to be interesting.

"The people in the city, have you arranged it?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked suddenly.

"We've been contacted." Zhang Jing said: "In this military town, there are three captains who have already infiltrated it, and it has been agreed that before preparing to attack, they will raise Kong Ming lanterns at night to determine the direction for us." ”

"Good." The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, and then said, "You say...... Let's take one to ten, and it's still a siege, a few hours, can we really take it? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't know the ability of the Donglin Army, but obviously he still had some doubts.

Let's be honest...... The main problem is that this is something that has never happened before.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that he was making history.

Zhang Jingyi said calmly: "The minister doesn't dare to guarantee it. But I only dare to guarantee that this Donglin will do his best. ”

Zhang Jingyi's words were very realistic, the Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed his head, and then said: "Yes, if we can't take this city before noon tomorrow, we are afraid that we will run out of food." ...... then"

It speaks for itself!

I have to say that in the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhang Jingyi is really a military wizard, specially, this kind of tactic of cutting off his own life first can be thought of.

But...... To be honest, that's what the Emperor of the Apocalypse likes.

As he spoke, the Emperor of the Apocalypse clenched his fists, his eyes lit up, and continued: "I would rather have all the jade burned, than let these dogs sit in Nanjing City and be happy. ”

Little by little, time passed.

The whistle finally sounded in the camp.

It was a signal urging the Sixth Artillery Training Team to assemble.

Thereafter...... Everyone began to assemble, and then ...... They showed up in their gun emplacements one after another.

It was still dark.

It is three or four miles away from the military town.

And at this time...... The effective range of artillery is now about this number.

If it's farther away, you won't be able to get ahead.

The people waited with bated breath until they finally saw a few Kong Ming lanterns in the military town lit up in the darkness.

The different colors of Kong Ming lanterns represent different locations, one is the gunpowder magazine in the city, another is the location of the military camp, and the third is where the general's line is located.

The brigade officer had raised his binoculars and kept looking at the distance.

On the other side, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had already risen, and he personally ran to the nearest artillery position, looking at the loaded artillery with interest.

He couldn't help but put his hands behind his back and said to Zhang Jing who came with him: "Back then, I also liked to shoot artillery, in Xiyuan, I didn't stop firing artillery every day, what kind of general cannon, tiger squat cannon, I have personally fought it, you artillery...... It's very different, I heard that it costs a lot, isn't it? ”

"Yes." Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty has seen the accounts." ”

"I didn't look at it, and it didn't mean anything to do, anyway, if I raised any doubts, you could find ten thousand reasons to tell me that the money was worth it." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a tiger face: "But after spending so much silver, it's time to see the real chapter." ”

And at this time...... In the distance, a shrill whistle pierced the sky.

This is an outpost ready for an attack!
