The defenders of this city have strong firepower, and the losses in the direct siege are too great, and the gains outweigh the losses. It was getting late at this moment, so he had to collect his troops and return to the camp and wait for the next battle.

Everyone on the city wall couldn't help cheering when they saw the bandits collecting their troops, but Wu Yunlin was not so relaxed, his face was heavy, and he ordered his subordinates to patrol strictly, not to slack off, to prevent the enemy from attacking at night, and then went down to the city, and after returning to the county office, he immediately summoned Wei Qi, Chen Hetu, Xiong Ge, Zhao Kuo and others to come to discuss.

At the beginning of the meeting, Wei Qi said with a smile: "Zhang Tiande is famous, I didn't expect to suffer such a big loss under my Zunyi City. Chen Hetu and others also chimed in.

Xiong Ge said: "The thief wanted to use the woman of my Han family in the afternoon to envelop her to attack the city, but I didn't expect that most of the women in my Zunyi were heroes, so they took the initiative to run out and shouted for the adults to release the arrows." ”

Wu Yunlin heard him mention the woman, his eyes were also red, and he said: "The thief is despicable, and he actually used my Zunyi woman as a human shield to attack the city, it is really an unforgivable crime!" Dumb and others also scolded the thieves, despicable and shameless. After scolding for a while, everyone's hearts were heavy, and they slowly fell silent.

After a while, Wei Qi said: "The thieves actually came up with such a trick as a woman attacking the city, thinking that they have exhausted their donkey skills, it seems that our Zunyi City is afraid to defend it." ”

Wu Yunlin said: "The enemy is insidious and cunning, not to be taken lightly, Zhang Tiande has been fighting for many years, but he is an old man, you must not be taken lightly, tonight Zhao Kuo, you work harder, go to the city to inspect more, in case the enemy attacks at night." ”

Zhao Kuo replied: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

After the meeting, Wu Yunlin planned to go to check the reserves of gunpowder, today's battle, artillery, muskets show their might, the consumption of gunpowder is not small, Wu Yunlin estimates that the gunpowder and projectiles in the city, at least can be used for at least half a month, but this matter is very important, always have to see it with your own eyes, before you can rest assured.

As soon as Wu Yunlin came out of the county office, he saw that Wan Fatzi's black carriage happened to have just stopped at the door of the county office, the curtain was slightly lifted, and Wan Fatman's festive fat face was: "My lord, are you going out?" ”

Wu Yunlin didn't answer his question, but said, "Why haven't you left yet?" I thought you had left Zunyi. ”

Wan Fat Man smiled shyly and said, "I have something important to share with the adults, please get in the car first." ”

Wu Yunlin did not hesitate, he raised his legs and stepped into the carriage, Wan Fat closed the curtain, and said with a smile: "I congratulate my lord first, the banner is victorious, with 2,000 soldiers and horses, alone against the bandits' 20,000 army, and will not fall behind." ”

Wu Yunlin said: "Why haven't you left yet? It's dangerous here. Wan Fatzi's eyes flowed, looked at Wu Yunlin, and said leisurely: "Our brother has already made an oath that day, not to be born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year, how can he leave alone." ”

Wu Yunlin looked at Wan Fat, moved in his heart, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Wan Fatzi's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, my subordinates have something to report, I just received information from me, the bandits this afternoon, the bandits don't know where to get which red-coated cannon, and now they have been pulled out of the city, I think that the thieves are very likely to transport the cannons to deal with us." "In those days, officials were corrupt, and as long as the price was right, those who were officials dared to sell anything.

Wu Yunlin sighed, suddenly the color changed, the bandits suddenly transported the cannon, presumably to deal with Zunyi County, if the cannon was pulled to the city by the bandits, Zunyi was not a strong city, only a few cannons can break the city wall, at that time the enemy army swarmed up, although their firearms were good, but the troops were too few, and the white-knuckle battle was outnumbered, and the hope of victory was very slim.

Wu Yunlin's face was grim and nodded: "Fatty, your intelligence is very important, you have worked hard." ”

Wan Fat Man lowered his head and said: "The news has arrived, then I won't bother the adults, the city is a big matter, please go and arrange it quickly." ”

Wu Yunlin nodded, turned around and got out of the carriage, and then entered the county office again, and while walking, he ordered his subordinates to invite Wei Qi, Xiong Ge and others again.

Wei Qi, Xiong Ge and others learned that Wu Yunlin had summoned each other again, and knew that something had happened, so they hurried to the county office, and when everyone arrived, Wu Yunlin said: "According to reliable information, the bandits have brought red-coated cannons, and I am worried that the bandits will use them to attack the city." When they heard this, they were all astonished.

Wei Qi said: "The power of the red-clothed cannon is extraordinary, if it is used to attack the city, I am afraid that the city wall of Zunyi County will not be able to resist it." ”

Wu Yunlin said: "That's right, inviting you to come is to discuss a countermeasure. ”

Zhao Kuo's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, and he said: "Either the enemy dies, or I die, my subordinates are willing to lead all the soldiers and horses to assault the enemy's commander's camp, as long as the opponent's commander is killed, the enemy army will inevitably be defeated, and the siege crisis will be solved naturally." ”

Wu Yunlin thought for a while, and said: "This plan should be feasible, our army's firepower is strong, and under the sudden assault, there may not be no chance of victory, but this official is watching from the city today, the enemy commander's big tent is wrapped in layers for the enemy army, and the enemy in front is at least 10,000, with less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and 10,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the victory rate is not high." ”

Xiong Ge's eyes lit up, and he said: "Your Excellency can use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, send a team of men and horses, pretend to break through from Tonggui, attract a part of the enemy army to the west gate, and then use the main force to go out of the east gate and assault the enemy camp. ”

Wu Yunlin said: "Our army now only has a total of 2,000 men and horses, and the suspected soldiers and horses are at least 2,000. ”

Chen Hetu got up and said: "The last general is willing to lead 300 archers and recruit 2,000 brave people to break through and lead away the enemy. ”

Wu Yunlin pondered for a while, nodded, got up and said: "This plan is feasible, without further ado, this official will go to recruit the people and think that they will be a death team!" ”

Wei Qi hurriedly said: "My lord, slow down, my subordinates still have something to say." ”

When Wu Yunlin heard this, he let out a sigh, turned around, sat down again, and said, "Does Mr. Wei have any other opinions?" ”

Wei Qi said: "When the adults recruit the people, remember not to say too dangerous, the adults can say that they will serve as suspicious soldiers, and the main force of the adults will then rescue them, if the adults tell the truth, they will scare the people, but I am afraid that they will not be able to recruit people." ”

Wu Yunlin looked at Wei Qi and said for a long time: "Mr. Wei's words, this official remembers them." ”
