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

Chapter 270 Gathering is a Flying Tuo, Scattering is a Sky Full of Stars
"As long as we successfully capture the city, we will have the foundation for a comeback..."

"Uncle Ma, you left behind, is there no problem?" Zhang Li looked away from the Kongming lantern in the sky with difficulty, and asked Ma Fengsun with a forced smile.

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

"If he receives the letter, come to think of it, he will be able to distinguish the pros and cons."

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

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

Zhang Li left behind a vicissitudes of life.

"Immortal...to show off in front of my son..."

Seeing that Ma Fengsun had no respect for him, Zhang Li cursed secretly.The team members left behind by his father in the past have never thought highly of himself, a bastard.

If Zhang Ren's good-for-nothing brother hadn't died, I'm afraid they wouldn't even look at him.

That being the case, I want to capture Suzhou City, raise the banner, and fight against the Ming Court.The members of the Chen family have already connected the north and the south, and the Zhu family's puppet dynasty is in civil strife. Ming court must have no time to take care of the incident at this time...

"Zhang Jun, your Huaxia Art of War..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Da Jingtian! My strategy is still available." Zhang Li clenched his fists. "You take people to sneak to the shore first, and drive all the closed ships we parked at the mouth of the sea tomorrow..."

……

In the east of the city, the gate tower is closed.

With the sound of Lime Yin chanting, more and more people gathered here in the east of the city.Affected by the atmosphere, many common people and scholars even expressed on the spot that they would join the army and go to the city to help Zhu Su kill the thief.

Ten thousand troops were suspended in the city, but they guarded the four gates and dared not move lightly.There are more than 5000 thieves outside the city, but they are only hoarding outside the east city gate. If there is a strong attack tomorrow, the troops will indeed be stretched.Seeing that the people's hearts were available, the guard Cao Yuan asked Zhu Su for instructions on the spot, allowing him to post a list to recruit soldiers on the spot.There are surplus weapons in the treasury, not to mention the leather armor and iron armor left by those remnants before, even if it is necessary to equip another [-] people, it is more than enough.

But Zhu Su shook his head and refused, comforting the people with good words that the city wall would not be lost, so he stationed himself on the east tower.If it is really urgent, then the people will be conscripted.Also ask them to help guard the city, don't let thieves and traitors make chaos in the city and set fires and so on.It was very difficult to coax the raging people back home.

"Fifth, the thieves outside the city have even brought the common people here. It is obvious that they are determined to attack the city."

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

Zhu Di felt a little pity when he saw the evacuated people.If there are so many new recruits, then the situation of troops inside and outside the city will change.

At that time, even if it is to go out of the city to fight the pirates, it is not impossible.What are you afraid of siege?
"Fourth brother, do you want to fight head-on with the thieves?" Zhu Su saw through Zhu Di's intention at a glance.Since the beginning of the war, Zhu Di has been inexplicably excited, wearing armor when sleeping, and holding a sword under his pillow.When the cavalry left the city, Zhu Di wanted to replace them with his own body.

How could he be willing to stay on the city wall, aggrieved and passively defending against the attacks of thieves?
"...What's wrong with going out of the city to head-to-head?" Zhu Di froze, and confessed directly to Zhu Su. "Continue to guard on the city wall, if it is not clear tomorrow, those thieves will go to the mountains to arrest innocent people and force them to attack the city to take the lead."

"What should we do then? Let the cavalry come out of the city to rescue them again? The thieves are already prepared. Even if the cavalry is brave, if they dare to go out of the city again, they will all fall outside the city."

"Instead of this, why don't you go out of the city to fight the bandits while the blood of the soldiers and the people are still alive... From your fourth brother's point of view, if you go out of the city at this time, the probability of victory is [-]%..."

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

"Attack is the best defense." Zhu Di is a natural general. Although he is still young, he has to say that his words are quite insightful.With the fighting spirit that Zhu Su instigates, if we add some soldiers and go out of the city to fight the thieves head-on, we will really win more than lose... After all, Zhang Li and the others are just mobs.

Only dare to pretend to be Japanese pirates, and use the power of Japanese pirates to burn, kill and loot along the coast. What can such an army achieve?

"Fourth brother, although it is a sign of the common people, there is a great possibility of defeating the thieves... But fourth brother, have you ever thought about what will happen after defeat?" Zhu Su asked Zhu Di.

"After defeat?" Zhu Di was taken aback.A little puzzled: "After the defeat...then it is natural to turn the crisis into safety, ascend the pavilion to drink and win...what else can I do?"

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

"... Now that they are gathered together, although we can defeat them, the most difficult thing is actually after they are defeated."

"As the saying goes, gathering is a pile of shit, and scattering is full of stars. Now that they gather together, they just disgust this Suzhou city. If they break up and disperse, it will be a big piece of disgust."

"You know, these Japanese pirates are good at burning, killing and looting in small groups. At that time, they will scatter and loot in all directions and harm my Ming Dynasty. What should we do? Lead the army to work tirelessly, one by one Sweep and wipe out?"

"Uh, what you said..." Zhu Di was obviously disgusted by this metaphor. "...But I have to say, this metaphor is quite appropriate!"

Thinking about the behavior 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 keep defending the city?"

"...No, no, you kid, you want to gather and annihilate them!" He suddenly realized something, and turned excited. "You already have a plan?"

"Fourth brother is smart." Zhu Su chuckled. "That guy Zhang Li outside the city is bluffing and attacking the city with the common people...pretending to never return without breaking the city wall."

"But I don't know that it's too late. The more he is like this, the more I feel that there are ghosts in his heart... The Japanese pirates can repeatedly succeed in plundering, only relying on one word: escape! How can he be so polite and dare to put up a battle in an upright manner? I don't know him For every day spent, the danger we face increases by one point?"

"Isn't he afraid of you and my Daming million reinforcements?"

"That's true." Zhu Di followed Zhu Su's example and stroked his chin, which had not yet grown a few hairs. "He intentionally let the common people attack the city, and it's because this thief cherishes his own strength. Hey, he wants to trap wolves but he can't bear children."

"Looking forward and looking backward, it is difficult to become a master..."

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

"Only a little bit for now..." Zhu Su made a gesture of "a little bit" with his index finger and thumb. "However, I have already arranged for people to squat on guard. If I think about it, there will be a horse's feet exposed soon."

Just as he was talking, he saw a soldier go up to the city and said: "Your Highness, there is a businessman in the city asking to see you."

"It is said that we are old acquaintances with Your Highness, and you have to report to His Highness if you have important matters related to the safety of the city!"
