"Hurry up, bring up the good wine and food, and treat Master Zhu and all the soldiers well. After fighting in the freezing cold for so long, how can we not warm ourselves up with some hot soup, hot food and hot wine?" Shang Zhifu greeted After seeing Zhu Ping'an and his party, he repeatedly urged the officials around him to prepare food and wine for Zhu Ping'an and the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army.
"Of order, I'll go and urge you now, Master Zhu and all the officers and men must eat and drink well. They are the great benefactors of hundreds of thousands of people in our Suzhou city." Urge dishes.
What to eat, Zhu Pingan was speechless for a while.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Shang, the food and drink will be served later. Currently, Suzhou City is not completely out of crisis. After the Japanese pirate reinforcements arrive, they will definitely not be reconciled. They will inevitably attack the city. They accept the fact of defeat. After they retreat, it will not be too late to enjoy the wine and food."
Zhu Ping'an waved his hands again and again, stopped the head of the ceremony room, and said to the prefect of Suzhou and others.
"Huh?! The city gates are closed, and the Japanese pirates will attack the city?!"
Shang Zhifu and other officials could not help but feel their hearts skip a beat. The gates of the city are closed. Do they still want to attack the city?
"Of course they will. When soldiers approach the city, they won't give up unless they attack." Zhu Ping'an nodded affirmatively.
"That..." Shang Zhifu heard the words, looked at Zhu Ping'an and the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army behind him, and hesitated to speak.
Just now when hundreds of Japanese pirates attacked the city, the defenders on the city acted like weak chickens, weak and weak. Now tens of thousands of Japanese pirates have come outside the city. Although they have the advantage of the city wall, Shang Zhifu has no confidence in relying on the defenders on the city.
But just now Zhu Pingan led the Zhejiang army to fight a fierce battle outside the city, and then let others go to the top of the city to defend the city, he was really a little embarrassed. But no matter how embarrassing you have to speak, who made the defenders at the top of the city too weak.
Just as Shang Zhifu was considering how to speak, Zhu Pingan twitched the corners of his mouth and volunteered, "Master Shang, there are many Japanese pirate reinforcements outside the city. Although our Zhejiang army fought outside the city, but at this critical moment in Suzhou City We are all part of Suzhou, and there is absolutely no reason to stay out of it. Our Zhejiang army has a lot of weapons and is suitable for defending the city. Please give us a chance."
"Zi Hou, here, you have just fought outside the city, and you haven't rested yet. I am really sorry. But as Zi Hou said, at this time, the life and death of Suzhou City is at stake, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are at stake. I can only be thick-skinned and ask Zihou and the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army to accompany me to the city wall and repel the Japanese invaders. I must represent the hundreds of thousands of people in Suzhou, and thank Zihou and the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army.
Shang Zhifu was very grateful to Zhu Pingan for taking the initiative to invite Ying. With Zhu Pingan's words, he invited Zhu Pingan and the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army to the city.
"My lord, please." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands.
"Please, please." Shang Zhifu also surrendered.
While the two were courteous to each other, a soldier ran down from the top of the city in a hurry, out of breath and sweating, and hurriedly reported to Shang Zhifu, "My lord, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived The city has fallen, there are tens of thousands of people, and they have lifted out the siege ladder, and they are about to attack the city."
After hearing this, Shang Zhifu couldn't help but panic, and he didn't care about being courteous. He grabbed Zhu Ping'an's arm and pulled it up the stone steps. Then he said, "The Japanese army is about to attack the city, Zihou, let's go up."
"Big gun, you take 300 soldiers to stay at the city gate and take care of the casualties. The rest of the Zhejiang Army soldiers line up to the top of the city." Zhu Pingan was dragged up the city wall by Shang Zhifu, and he did not forget to turn back to command the Zhejiang Army.
Shang Zhifu dragged Zhu Pingan up the city wall, and seeing the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army lined up neatly, orderly and quickly going up the city wall, he couldn't help but praise Zhu Pingan, "Zihou is worthy of being Zihou, commanding soldiers and horses like a finger Arms, the Zhe army orders are prohibited, neat and orderly, I have never seen such a strong army in reality except in books, and this is only brought out by Zihou in a few months, Zihou is really Wang Zuozhi's talent."
Zhu Pingan didn't take Shangzhifu's praise seriously. At this critical moment, any support army came over, and I believe Shangzhifu would be able to boast.
Arriving at the top of the city, Zhu Ping'an carefully observed the Japanese pirates under the city. The reinforcements of the Japanese pirates had all arrived, and the number was about 20,000.
In terms of numbers, the number of Japanese pirates outside the city far exceeds that of the defenders on the city.
However, Zhu Ping'an was not worried at all. The walls of Suzhou City were tall, and the pirates outside the city rushed to attack the city. There were only less than 30 siege ladders. How could they capture Suzhou City?
Back in front of the Fengqiao camp, relying on the low wall was able to greatly dampen the morale of the Japanese pirates, causing the Japanese pirates to be beaten to death. Now relying on the tall city walls of Suzhou City, Zhu Ping'an is fully confident that the Japanese pirates will be crushed.
What's more, the success of the Japanese pirates is nothing more than reconciliation. Just a head-on blow can make them sober, give up unrealistic ideas, and let them understand that when the gate of Suzhou is closed, their Suzhou strategy has already been declared a failure.
However, the defenders on the city did not have Zhu Pingan's confidence. Just now when hundreds of Japanese pirates attacked the city from inside the city, they were terrified to kill them. Now there are not hundreds of Japanese pirates outside the city, but tens of thousands of Japanese pirates.
"I, I seem to have cramps in my calf." A guard said tremblingly and squatted down.
There are defenders next to it, but it's not much better, My second brother seems to have a cramp.
"Damn it, your second brother is having cramps, your second brother is pumping, you **** peed your pants!!"
People around took a look at him, and someone with sharp eyes noticed that his nape was wet, and couldn't help laughing.
"Ahem, I didn't pee my pants, I accidentally spilled water when drinking, um, that's right, I just spilled water."
The man forcibly saluted his respect with a trembling voice.
"The **** spilled water, I can smell the smell of urine three meters away from you, you also sprinkled water, you are drinking urine."
The people around laughed loudly, but when they laughed, their voices changed, and the vibrato came out.
There are tens of thousands of Japanese pirates outside the city, how can they laugh, just now hundreds of Japanese pirates have killed the heads of the people they killed, and the blood flowed into rivers, let alone tens of thousands of Japanese pirates outside the city, they just have two heads Not enough for Japanese pirates to cut.
Compared to the terrified Japanese pirates, the soldiers of the Zhejiang army were much more calm. They calmly loaded the firecrackers with ammunition, and even made a few jokes.
Not to mention that before the Fengqiao camp, nearly ten thousand Japanese pirates ended their sinful lives under their firearms, but just now they fought against the Japanese pirates outside the city, and they were not defeated, and hundreds of Japanese pirates fell at their feet.
