"As long as we succeed in taking the city, we have the foundation to make a comeback......"

"Uncle Ma, there is no problem with the back hand you left, right?" Zhang Li took his eyes off the Kong Ming lantern in the sky with difficulty, and asked Ma Fengsun with a forced smile.

"The letter is on the door." Ma Fengsun had no choice but to reply. "Yang Lu is narrow-minded and greedy, and he is already flustered because of his relationship with me."

"If he receives the letter, he will be able to distinguish between the good and the bad."

"If the second son has no other instructions, then I will go down first. I just touched the edge of the city and injured my leg......"

said, without waiting for Zhang Li to reply, he limped away.

left Zhang Li with a back of vicissitudes.

"Old immortal...... Pose in front of this son......"

Seeing that Ma Fengsun had no respect for himself, Zhang Li scolded in his heart. These former fathers' left behind team members have never looked down on themselves as concubines.

If it weren't for the death of Zhang Ren's waste brother, I am afraid that they would not even want to look at themselves.

In this case, he wants to take Suzhou City, erect a banner, and fight against the Ming Court. The people of the Chen family have already hooked up the north and the south, and the puppet dynasty of the Zhu family is in civil strife, and the Ming court will definitely have no time to take care of it at this time......

"Zhang Jun, your Chinese art of war ......"

"Otada-kun rest assured! My strategy is still available. Zhang Li clenched his fists. You first take someone to the shore and let all the ships that stop us at the mouth of the sea tomorrow come over......"

……

In the east of the city, the gate is sealed.

With the sound of lime chanting, more and more people converged here in the east of the city. Touched by this atmosphere, there were even many ordinary scholars who said on the spot that they would join the army and go to the city to help Zhu Su kill the thieves.

The city stopped 10,000 troops, but they guarded the four gates and did not dare to move lightly. There are more than 10,000 thieves outside the city, but they are only hoarded outside the east city gate, and if they attack tomorrow, the troops are indeed a little stretched. Seeing that this popular support was available, the guard general Cao Yuan asked Zhu Su on the spot and allowed him to post a list to recruit troops on the spot. There are still blades left in the treasury, not to mention the leather armor and iron armor left by those remnants, even if you have to equip another 5,000 people, it is more than enough.

Zhu Su shook his head and refused, and comforted the people with good words, and the city wall would not be lost, so he was stationed on the tower of the east city. If the matter is really urgent, then the people will be requisitioned. and asked them to help take care of the city, and not to let the thieves and traitors make trouble in the city and set fire to the clouds. It was easy to coax the people back home.

"Old Five, the thieves outside the city have even brought in the people, and it is obvious that they are determined to attack the city."

"Since the people are going to help defend the city, why didn't you agree to them? If there were more people, this wall would be more secure, wouldn't it? ”

When Zhu Di saw the evacuated people, he felt a little pity. If there were so many new soldiers, the situation of troops inside and outside the city would change at that time.

At that time, even if you go out of the city to fight the thieves, you will not have to do it. What are you afraid of attacking the city?

"Fourth brother, you want to fight the thieves, right?" Zhu Su saw through Zhu Di's intentions at a glance. Since the beginning of the war, Zhu Di has always been inexplicably excited, wearing armor when he sleeps, and a sword under his pillow. When the cavalry went out of the city, Zhu Di was even more eager to replace him.

How could he be willing to stay on the city wall and passively defend against the attacks of the thieves?

“…… What's wrong with going out of town? Zhu Di was stunned, and simply confessed directly to Zhu Su. Continuing to defend the city wall, the thieves went to the mountains again to capture innocent people, and coerced them to attack the city and take the lead. ”

"What should I do then? Let the cavalry go out of the city to rescue again? The thieves have already taken precautions, and even if the cavalry is brave, if they dare to go out of the city again, they are afraid that they will all be folded outside the city. ”

"Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the bloody nature of the soldiers and the people to go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the thieves...... In your fourth brother's opinion, when you go out of the city at this time, the probability of winning is seventy percent......"

"Seventy percent...... Yes. Zhu Su touched his chin.

"Attack is the best defense", Zhu Di is a natural general, although he is still young now, but I have to say that these words are very insightful. With the fighting spirit of the people instigated by Zhu Su, if you add some more troops and go out of the city to fight the thieves head-on, it will really be more victorious than defeated...... After all, Zhang Li's people are just a rabble.

Only dare to pretend to be a Japanese robber, and take advantage of the momentum of the Japanese to burn and loot along the coast, what great benefit can such an army have?

"Fourth brother, although it is a sign to the people, there is a great possibility that he can defeat the thief...... But Fourth brother, have you ever thought about what to do after defeating? Zhu Su asked Zhu Di.

"After defeating?" Zhu Di was stunned. Somewhat puzzled: "After defeating...... That is naturally to turn the crisis into safety, and go to the pavilion to win...... What else could I want? ”

"It's not that simple." Zhu Su smiled and shook his head. "These thieves, to be honest, are just disgusting things."

“…… Now they are gathered, and although we can defeat them, the hardest thing is actually after they are defeated. ”

"As the saying goes, gathering is a piece of, and scattering is a sky full of stars. Now that they are gathered, they are just disgusting with this Suzhou City, and if they disperse after they disperse, it will be disgusting. ”

"You know, going around burning and looting in small groups is what these robbers are good at. When the time comes, they will scatter and plunder, and plague all parts of our Ming Dynasty, what should we do? With the army tirelessly, sweep and exterminate one by one? ”

"Uh, what do you say......" Zhu Di was obviously disgusted by this metaphor. …… But I have to say, this analogy is quite apt! ”

Thinking about the style of the "big army" outside the city, Zhu Di had to admit that Zhu Su was right.

"But what should I do, can I still defend the city forever?"

“…… No, no, you kid, you're trying to bring them together and annihilate them! He suddenly realized something, and his face turned to excitement. Do you already have a plan? ”

"Fourth brother is smart." Zhu Su smiled. "Outside the city, Zhang Li's house is bluffing again, and it is attacking the city with the people...... Put on a look of not breaking the city wall and vowing to never return. ”

But I don't know how much he does, the more I think he has a ghost in his heart...... The robberies of the Japanese can be successfully carried out repeatedly, and only rely on one word: escape! How can he be so virtuous, dare to put on a posture in a dignified manner? I wonder if every day he spends is in more danger? ”

"He's not afraid of you and my Ming million reinforcements?"

"That's true." Zhu Di followed Zhu Su's example and touched his chin, which had not yet grown a few hairs. "He deliberately let the people attack the city, and it was also this thief who cherished his own troops. Hey, I want to trap the wolf but I can't bear the child. ”

"Looking ahead, it is difficult to become a big ......"

"So, does he have a way to quickly break the city in a few days? Do you have a clue? Zhu Di asked Zhu Su.

"For the time being, it's only a little ......" Zhu Su's index finger and thumb were deeper, and he made a gesture of "a little bit". "But I've already arranged for someone to squat, and if you want to come, there will be horses' feet exposed soon."

As he was talking, he saw a soldier go up to the city and say, "Your Highness, there is a merchant in the city who asks to see you." ”

"It is said that it is an old acquaintance with His Highness, and there is something important related to the safety of the city, so I want to show His Highness!"
