Zhang Li was afraid of the range of the giant crossbow, and after running out of the place of an arrow, he continued to retreat far away, and only after there was no longer the sound of the crossbow bolt breaking through the air, did he calm down the fear in his heart and turned his head.

Only then did he notice that the only one of the guards who followed him with iron shields had died. This time, it's really close to life......

"Zhu Su Xiao'er!" Feeling the slight wetness in his crotch, Zhang Li's eyes were about to split. "Isn't there any politeness and shame in your acting like this!"

"Courtesy, righteousness and shamelessness are also to people."

"You and others abandon my Chinese clothes, are willing to be thieves, and plunder the coast of the homeland, how different from traitors and beasts!"

"The only way to deal with traitors and beasts is bows and arrows, knives and guns!!"

Zhu Su's voice at the head of the city was still like a bell, and it came into Zhang Li's mind from afar, and Zhang Li was even more trembling with anger, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"This guy, sure enough, I could hear it from the beginning!"

Thinking about it like this, I feel that my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all in pain.

"Siege! Besiege! I swear to capture this thief! Zhang Li stomped on the ground a few times and shouted fiercely.

"Second son, second son, steady!" It was Ma Fengsun who rushed over and persuaded him. "The city is high and the pool is deep, the siege equipment has not been completed, and it cannot be attacked!"

"You still have to do what you planned from the beginning...... What's more, don't lose your grace in front of those widows! ”

“…… Hum! Zhang Li turned his head and saw that the warriors of the Otida family over there were all looking at him with a mocking expression, and in order not to lose face in front of the friendly army, he had to swallow this breath.

"Zhang Jun, are you okay?" The short Idada clan rode a tall horse, ran to Zhang Li's side and asked,

"Oh, it's Otada-kun." Zhang Li secretly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and turned around as if he was in control. "I'm fine, but I'm just deliberately selling a flaw to arouse that little boy's contempt for the enemy. Now, that kid must think we're all reckless......"

"Oh?" Iida's was taken aback, "It turns out that Zhang Jun is performing on purpose!" ”

"I see, I see. Is this your Chinese 'art of war'? Awesome, amazing. ”

"It's so realistic, I almost fooled my ally......"

"Hehe, if it weren't for that, how could you fool that little kid...... Hehehehehe......"

……

Zhang Ren didn't mention how to save face in front of the Japanese people, but said that Zhu Su saw that Zhang Ren had hidden in the army and stopped talking, so he also went down to the city tower. Zhu Di immediately greeted him, blushing excitedly: "Old Five, your last sentence is too uplifting!" ”

"To deal with this kind of thief, you really want to scare him fiercely! What martial arts to talk to him! ”

"I didn't mean to scare him...... "Zhu Su regretted it." I really wanted to kill him directly. ”

"It's a pity, I didn't expect this guy to run so fast."

"The two armies are fighting, and they are not killed. His Royal Highness's move is indeed detrimental to the body. ”

Ru Taisu and Wei Guan also greeted them. Hearing Ru Taisu say this, Zhu Di's face had just darkened, and he saw Ru Taisu then shaking his head again, looking very happy: "...... However, that theory of thieves and beasts is a wonderful theory! ”

"If it weren't for the time of the war, the old man should talk about it and float his three whites!"

"I can't imagine that Ru Yushi also has a reasonable time!" Zhu Di turned his anger into joy.

"But that Zhang Li is panicked like a lost dog, and his morale has been lost, so he shouldn't be worried, right?" Wei Guan looked at the bandit alliance outside the city from afar, and said in an inquiring tone. "Could it be that you will still storm this city?"

“…… Probably will. Zhu Su also put a smile on his face. The soldiers below, logging and building villages, still do not stop, it seems that its commander is not discouraged because of this crisis. ”

"It seems that they are determined to smash this city to death. At least, it's a gesture......"

"Hmph, just like that, people want to attack the city? In the view of this king, all of them are selling the first ...... in the bidding" The second Zhu Fan sneered, and by the way, he played a new idiom that he had just learned from the Three Kingdoms.

“…… Oh, yes. ”

Zhu Su bit his lower lip. Even the second brother knew that it was in vain for so many soldiers to attack the city, why did these people have to be like this?

……

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, just two days later, in the morning, the siege of the eastern wall by the coalition forces was about to begin.

About 1,000 people carried dozens of make-ready improvised ladders and gathered outside the camp. After the night guard at the head of the city noticed something unusual, he directly sounded the warning bang, and then in the bursts of bangzi sound, the three thousand Suzhou guards who had been waiting in the temporary camp under the city wall immediately rushed to the city.

"These thieves...... I didn't plan to make this king feel better at all! Zhu Su yawned and walked out of the city gate building wearing a big coat. Dawn has always been the best time to attack the city, and I didn't dare to relax in the past two days, for fear that the thief army would suddenly attack the city, so food and accommodation were all on the top of this city gatehouse.

On the other hand, the other three directions of the city were manned by the three nominally highest-ranking officials of the Suzhou Prefecture at this time, Ru Taisu, Wei Guan, and Yang Lu, respectively, to prevent thieves from attacking the west.

"Only a thousand...... It's too much to underestimate the city wall of Suzhou. Beside Zhu Su, Zhu Di held the telescope and kept looking at the assembled army. Since the beginning of the war, this guy has been extremely excited, and he has hardly slept all night on the city tower in the past two days, but he is still full of energy. "Isn't the thief trying to send cannon fodder to test it first? Why don't these people have any armor? ”

"Well, I can't see it clearly at dawn, maybe it's just that some of them don't have armor......"

"Or maybe you really want to test it. After all, Zhang Li's family may have known about the abolition of Suzhou Mansion's armaments. Zhu Su said. Yang Lu had no way to govern the army, and he was previously tricked by Zhang Ren and Chen Huibu, who pretended to be Taihu water bandits, which caused the morale of these military households to be generally low.

This is also the reason why he forced all the high-level officials of Suzhou Prefecture to be on the front line to boost morale. If they stay in the rear and command, they may not be demoralized when these Suzhou guards will collapse.

The advantage becomes the disadvantage, then you want to cry without tears.

"If they attack with all their might in the first round, it's really hard to say." Zhu Di also nodded in agreement. This Suzhou Wei's military appearance, compared to Zhu Su's Wu Wangwei and even Zhu Zhang's Qin Wangwei, is really a heaven and an underground.

After Zhu Di got used to seeing the elite soldiers trained by modern military training methods like Wu Wangwei, he really couldn't get used to the lazy military appearance of Suzhou Wei.

"It's coming, it's coming! They came with a ladder! Seeing the thousands of people approaching with the ladder, Zhu Di's face suddenly turned grim, revealing a little excitement when he was about to fight. This distance...... It's time to rain arrows! ”

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Cao Yuan, who was in charge of guarding this section of the city wall, came from the front: "Prepare for the rain of arrows!" ”

"Putting ......"

"Wait! Wait a minute! ”

Cao Yuan's word "put" was only halfway through, but when he heard another sharp interruption from a soldier, he heard it in front of him.

"That'...... That's not a thief...... The one who carries the ladder is not a thief......"

"Those people...... Villagers in my village! It's my relatives! ”

Zhu Su's whole person was shocked. Only then did he notice the faint cry coming from the cold breath of dawn.
