Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 262
"For the present plan, we have to close the city gate to resist the enemy first." Ru Taisu sighed worriedly as he looked at the wolf smoke in the distance.

"Fortunately, we are fully prepared. We only need to defend the city wall for a few days. Presumably, there will be reinforcements to wipe out the Japanese thieves in one fell swoop."

"I hope that in these days, the Japanese thief and that Zhang thief can do less evil..."

Zhu Su curled his lips, hoping that the thieves would be benevolent, it would be better to hope that meteorites would fall from the sky and kill them all... It's a pity that he is only a time traveler, so he can't use the big meteorite technique of the son of the plane.

"Let's light up the smoke in the city as well." Zhu Su thought for a while, but still felt that something should be done. "Those people who still have time to leave in the future know that the thieves are coming, and in a hurry, they may rush in the direction of the city."

"If you collide with a thief outside the city, there will be a massacre. If you see the wolf smoke, you can also give a warning."

"That's very appropriate." Ru Taisu glanced at Zhu Su, and nodded with his beard. "I hope they can understand the deep meaning of it and hide in the mountains, so they can be safer..."

"Where are those thieves?" Zhu Su asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, a quick horse came to report just now, and it has been thirty miles to the east of the city."

"Tsk, it's pretty fast."

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

"Go and see what kind of quality this mob is like!"

……

At noon on the fourth day of the lunar new year, Zhu Su, Zhu Di, Wei Guan and others sitting on the east wall of Suzhou saw in the binoculars the coalition forces of more than ten thousand Japanese pirates and the remnants of the Zhang family coming with billowing smoke in the distance. .

"This is really..." I have to say that although this group of people has different armors and looks chaotic and disorderly, Zhu Su was shocked by the large battle of more than ten thousand people.In this life, had he ever seen such a big scene where an army of ten thousand people came overwhelmingly?

"It doesn't look like much." Zhu Xi leaned over the binoculars and looked at it. He was a little older, and he had seen his father command thousands of troops when he was not enthroned.Compared with the elites of the Ming army who were uniformly clad in solid and sharp clothes, these thieves with different clothes and colors were indeed not enough.

"Second brother, don't underestimate these people." Zhu Di grabbed the binoculars and looked up and down at the guy opposite Zhang Wolianjun. "Although their clothes and armor are messy, they are quite organized when they walk. They are not ordinary bandits."

"It's just those who walked in the front, those who held the field flag...why are they so short? And their hair...why are they all bald?"

Zhu Di grew up in Yingtian, and although he had heard about it on weekdays, he had never seen a Japanese.After Zhu Su explained to him, he seemed to understand something: "Oh! So it is like this!"

"The world is so big, it really is full of wonders. There are still people who are born short and bald... Tsk tsk."

"It's quite easy to recognize!"

There was pity in the eyes of the Japanese people looking outside the city.

Zhu Su was at a loss for words for a while, that is a kind of hairstyle, he is either born bald or not.

He opened his mouth to explain, but after thinking about it, it was all.

If you misunderstand, just misunderstand, 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 Prefecture: outside the "closed gate".Seeing the banners flying in the city and the city gates closed, the thieves seemed to have expected it, without any regrets or surprises, but logging and building camps step by step, as if they were going to fight steadily.

"If I had known earlier, I would have burned all the trees outside the city, and would have killed this group of thieves!" Zhu Xi said angrily as he watched them form teams to log.

"After all, it's too late." Zhu Su shook his head.If you want to burn the forests outside the city, you must move all the people living nearby into the city.

The people have not yet migrated, how can they have time to fortify the walls and clear the fields?
"May I take advantage of the thieves' unsteady footing and go out of the city to make a surprise attack?" Ru Taisu suggested.

"No!" Before Zhu Su objected, Zhu Di asserted.

"Although the thieves sent people to cut wood, the group of Japanese in armor never moved."

"They are also guarding against us! If we really want to open the city gate, the Japanese people will definitely come up to us, and then the bandits who are cutting from all sides will also swarm up..."

"Leaving the city at this time is giving up the benefits of a strong city for nothing."

Ru Taisu glanced at Zhu Di in surprise, and heard that the Fourth Highness was ignorant in the main hall, and had repeatedly angered His Majesty, and the banzi family law in the palace had suffered a lot, and this time he was extremely stubborn. His Highness the Second Highness sneaked out of Beijing.

In my heart, I already regarded the Fourth Highness as a playboy, and made up my mind to impeach him after this matter was over.

But at this moment, it seems that the Fourth Highness seems to be interested in military matters...

Quite his own uniqueness?

"They seem...determined to win..."

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

They even felled trees to build camps, posing as if they were going to fight a protracted war.

You know, when you are in an enemy situation, the first key to follow is "quick". 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 opponent time to mobilize elites to surround one's own side .

Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty used to gallop across the desert with [-] cavalrymen in the old days. He made a battle and became a marquis. He created a record that all Chinese generals looked up to, thanks to the word "fast".

If Huo Qubing had cut trees and built a stronghold in such a slow manner when he attacked a certain Hun tribe, then even with his champion Hou Zhiyong, he would have been wiped out by the Huns many times!
The more than [-] bandit army looked like a lot of people, but it was obviously not enough for Suzhou Fucheng, which was high in the upper city and deep in the pool.You must know that the way to attack the city is to encircle and attack five out of ten. There are tens of thousands of Suzhou Guards in the city. You don't think you can take Suzhou with a frontal attack, do you?

"Besides, this group of people came straight to Suzhou without any hesitation on the way, nor did they scatter and loot like ordinary Japanese pirates..." Zhu Su clapped the folding fan in his hand.

"Such a clear goal cannot be purely due to arrogance. There must be other means to quickly capture the city... What is it..."

I thought it was just a small battle, but now it seems that these thieves have other reliance... Could it be that there are reinforcements?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the army of thieves separated, and one person and several attendants came out and walked towards the city.

He stopped at a place where he was just within an arrow's reach, and one of his attendants unfolded a small horse harness, and the man sat on the horse harness with a big horse and a golden knife.Another attendant rushed to the base of the city: "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Wu is here?"

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