"For the sake of today's plan, I have to close the city gate to resist the enemy first." Ru Taisu stared at the wolf smoke in the distance and sighed worriedly.

"Fortunately, we are fully prepared, we only need to defend the city wall for a few days, and I think that there will be reinforcements to annihilate the thieves in one fell swoop."

"I hope that in these days, the thief and the thief can create less ...... of murder."

Zhu Su pursed his lips, counting on the thieves to be benevolent, it was better to expect a meteorite from the sky to smash them all to death...... It's a pity that I'm just a traverser, and I can't use the great meteorite technique of the Son of Face.

"Light the wolf smoke in the city, too." Zhu Su thought about it, but still felt that something should be done. "Those people who have not yet had time to leave in the future know that the thieves are coming, and in a hurry, they are afraid that they will rush in the direction of the city."

"If you collide with the thieves outside the city, it will inevitably be a massacre. When you see the wolf smoke, you can also warn you one or two. ”

"That's right." Ru Taisu glanced at Zhu Su and nodded. "I hope they can understand the meaning and avoid the mountains, so that they can be safer......"

"Where are the thieves?" Zhu Su asked.

"Back to His Highness, there is a quick horse to report, it has reached thirty miles east of the city."

"Tsk, it's pretty fast."

"Let's go, let's go up to the wall."

"Let's see what this rabble is!"

……

At the beginning of the afternoon of the fourth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Su, Zhu Di, Wei Guan and others who were sitting on the east city wall of Suzhou saw in the telescope the coalition army of more than 10,000 thieves and the remnants of the Zhang family who came in the distance with billowing wolf smoke.

"This is really ......" I have to say that although this group of people has different armor and looks chaotic and unorganized, the large battle of more than 10,000 people still made Zhu Su feel shocked. In this life and this life, how could he ever see such a big scene of an army of 10,000 people coming from all over the world?

"It doesn't look like much." Zhu Fan leaned in front of the telescope and looked at it, he was a little older, and he had seen the scene of his father commanding thousands of troops when he was not on the throne in the past. Compared with the elite of the Ming army who are unified and stubborn, these thieves with different colors of clothing are indeed a little inadequate.

"Second brother, don't underestimate these people." Zhu Di snatched the binoculars and looked up and down at the guy opposite, Zhang Wei's coalition army. "Although their clothes and armor are disorderly, they are quite orderly when they march. Not your average bandit. ”

"It's just those who are at the forefront, holding the Tianzi flag...... Why are they all so short? And their hair ...... Why are they all bald? ”

Zhu Di grew up in Yingtian, although he had heard of it on weekdays, but he had never seen a Japanese person. After Zhu Su explained to him, he seemed to understand something: "Oh! So that's it! ”

"The world is so big, it's really amazing. There are still people who are born short and bald...... Gee. ”

"It's pretty easy to recognize!"

The eyes of the widows who looked outside the city revealed pity.

Zhu Su was speechless for a while, that is a hairstyle, not born bald.

I opened my mouth to explain, but after thinking about it, I just thought about it.

Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, it has nothing to do with me, and it doesn't hurt anyway.

Talking about the Japanese and Zhang coalition forces, they arrived at the east gate of Suzhou Mansion: outside the "closed gate". From a distance, they saw the flags in the city waving and the city gates closed, and the thieves seemed to have expected it, without any annoyance and astonishment, but cutting down and building a camp step by step, with a steady and steady posture.

"I knew that I would have burned all the trees outside the city, and I would freeze to death this group of thieves!" Zhu Fan watched them divide into teams to go to the wood, and said hatefully.

"Time is too rushed." Zhu Su shook his head. In order to burn the trees outside the city, it is necessary to move all the people living nearby into the city.

The people have not yet migrated, how can they have time to go to the fortified walls and clear the wilderness?

"Can you take advantage of the thief's unstable foothold and go out of the city to attack?" Ru Taisu suggested.

"No way!" Before Zhu Su could object, Zhu Di had already taken the first step to assert.

"Although the thieves sent people to cut down trees, the group of Japanese people wearing armor never moved."

"They're guarding us, too! If the city gate is really opened, the men and the Japanese will surely meet it, and then the thieves who are harvesting from all sides will also flock to it......"

"To go out of the city at this time is to give up the benefits of a strong city in vain."

Ru Taisu glanced at Zhu Di with some surprise, and heard that this fourth highness did not learn and did not know how to do it in the main hall, and he repeatedly angered His Majesty, and he didn't know how much he suffered from the board family law in the palace.

In his heart, he already regarded this Fourth Highness as a gentleman, and he was determined to impeach him after this matter was over.

But at this time, it seems that this Fourth Highness seems to be ...... about military affairs

Quite his own uniqueness?

"They seem to ...... Determined to win......"

Zhu Su saw something else, they were thieves and in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but they were still not in a hurry.

He even cut down wood to build a camp, putting on a posture of fighting a protracted war.

You must know that when you are in the enemy's territory, the first key to follow is to be "fast", it is best to change places with one shot, and the most taboo is to stay in a certain place for a long time, giving the other party time to mobilize elites to surround you.

In the past, Huo Quai, who was sick in the Han Dynasty, galloped across the desert in the desert in the past with 800 cavalry, and set a record that all Chinese generals looked up to, relying on the word "fast".

If Huo Qubing was attacking a certain Xiongnu tribe at that time, he was also so slow to cut down and build a village, then even with his champion Hou Zhiyong, he would have been wiped out by the Huns several times!

The thief army of more than 10,000 people looked at the crowd, but for the Suzhou Mansion City, which was high and deep, it was obviously not enough. It is necessary to know that the way to siege the city is to attack five out of ten, and there are 10,000 people in the city of Suzhou Guard, even if the commander of Suzhou Wei makes Yang Lu a straw bag, but with the same force, his own side occupies the city, even if the thief is stupid, he will not think that a frontal attack can capture Suzhou, right?

"Moreover, this group of people came straight to Suzhou, and they did not hesitate on the way, nor did they scatter and plunder like ordinary Japanese robbers......" Zhu Su patted the folding fan in his hand.

"Such a clear goal, it can't be just because of arrogance, there must be other means that can quickly take the city...... What is it......

Originally, it was thought that this was just a small battle, but now it seems that these thieves have other things to rely on...... Could it be that there are still reinforcements?

Just as he was thinking, he saw the thieves' army separated, and one of them and several attendants came out of the crowd and walked towards the city.

When he reached the place where he was just a stone's throw away, he stopped, and his attendant unfurled a small horse, and the man sat on the horse with a golden sword. Another attendant rushed to the city: "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Wu of the Ming Dynasty is here?" ”

"My second son, Zhang Li, has something to say to His Royal Highness!"
