Chapter 262 The troops approach the east of the city
"For the sake of clarity, it is best to seal the city gate to resist the enemy." Ru Taisu looked at the smoke in the distance and sighed worriedly.
"Fortunately, they are fully prepared. They will have to defend the city wall for several months. I think there will be reinforcements to annihilate the Japanese bandits in one fell swoop."
"I hope that in those months, the Japanese bandits and that Zhang bandit will commit less murderous crimes..."
Zhu Su curled his lips, expecting the thieves to be benevolent, it was worse than expecting meteorites to fall from the sky and kill them all... He said that he was just a time traveler, so he couldn't use the great meteorite technique of the Son of Face.
"Let's light up the smoke in the city." Zhu Su thought for a while and wondered what he should do. "Those people who had not had time to leave in the future knew that the bandits were coming. In a hurry, they were afraid that they would rush towards the city.
.”
"If we bump into a thief outside the city, there will be a massacre. If you see the smoke, you can also give a warning."
"That's very appropriate." Ru Taisu glanced at Zhu Su, twisted his beard and nodded. "I hope they can see the deep meaning in the red and avoid the mountains. It will be safer this way..."
"Where are those thieves?" Zhu Su asked.
"Back to the east of the palace, a fast horse came to report that it was already thirty miles east of the city."
"Tsk, it's very fast."
"Look, they are on the city wall."
"Go and see what kind of quality that rabble is!"
…
At noon in the early morning of April, Zhu Su, Zhu Di, Wei Guan and others, who were walking along the east wall of Suzhou, saw through their telescopes in the distance more than ten thousand Japanese bandits and the remnants of the Zhang family coming with billowing smoke.
coalition forces.
"Is that true..." I have to say that although the group of people had different armors and looked chaotic without any order, Zhu Su was shocked by the large formation of more than 10,000 people. Mingsheng Mingshi
, has he ever seen such a big scene where an army of ten thousand people came overwhelmingly?
"Looking at it, it doesn't matter." Zhu Xi leaned in front of the telescope and took a look. He was a little older and had he seen the scene of his father commanding thousands of troops before he ascended the throne? He was wearing a uniform.
Compared with the tough and sharp Ming army elites, the thieves in different colors are indeed a bit out of place.
"Second brother, don't underestimate those people." Zhu Di took the telescope and took a closer look at the group of Zhang and Japanese Allied Forces in the east. "Although their clothes and armor were in chaos, they were quite different when they were moving.
There are rules and regulations. It is not an ordinary bandit."
"Why are those who are walking in the front, holding the field flag... so short? And their hair... are all bald?"
Zhu Di grew up in Yingtian, and although he had heard about it in Pingyue, he had never seen the Japanese. After Zhu Su explained to him, he seemed to have realized something: "Oh! So it's not like that!"
"It's really surprising that the sky is so vast. There are actually many people who are born short and bald... tsk tsk."
"It's pretty easy to recognize!"
The Japanese people looking outside the city showed pity in their eyes.
Zhu Su was speechless for a moment. Is that a hairstyle or that he is born bald?
I opened my mouth to ask for an explanation, but after thinking for a while I couldn't agree.
If you misunderstand, just misunderstand it. It has nothing to do with him and it doesn't hurt anyway.
Talking about the Japanese and Zhang coalition, they arrived at the east city gate of Suzhou Prefecture: outside the "sealed gate". Yuanji saw the flags in the city fluttering and the city gate being closed. The thieves seemed to have expected it, without any regrets or surprise.
Instead of logging and building camps in a step-by-step manner, they seek a steady and steady approach.
"If I had known, I would have burned all the trees outside the city, and those thieves would have been frozen to death!" Zhu Xi said bitterly as he watched them separate into teams to cut down the trees.
"Time is running out after all." Zhu Su shook his head. If he wanted to burn the trees outside the city, he had to move all the people living nearby into the city.
The people haven't migrated yet, so how can they have time to build a strong wall and clear the wilderness?
"Can we take advantage of the fact that the thieves have not yet gained a firm foothold and make a surprise attack out of the city?" Ru Taisu suggested.
"No!" Zhu Di had already asserted before Zhu Su could make a mistake.
"Although the thieves sent people to cut down the trees, the group of Japanese wearing armor never moved."
"They are also guarding against them! If you really open the city gate, the Japanese will definitely greet you, and then the thieves who are hunting from all sides will also swarm..."
"If you leave the city at this time, you will give up the advantage of fortifying the city."
Ru Taisu glanced at Zhu Di with some surprise. He heard that the Fourth Palace Master was unlearned and incompetent in the main hall. He had repeatedly angered Master Bi, and had suffered countless blows from the masters in the palace. This time he was extremely naughty.
, and Er Diandong made a fool of themselves and sneaked out of the capital.
In his own heart, he had already regarded the Fourth Palace Dong as a dandy, and Dong was determined to impeach him properly after this matter was over.
But at this moment, it seems that the East of the Fourth Palace is mistaken for military affairs...
Quite unique of his own?
"They seem... determined to win..."
But Zhu Su saw something else. As thieves and bandits, they were outside the Ming Dynasty, but they were still not impatient.
They even cut down trees to build camps, pretending to be fighting a protracted war.
I want to know that when you are in enemy territory, the first tactic you must follow is "quick". It is best to change places after firing a shot. The most taboo is whether to stay somewhere for a long time and mobilize elites for the wrong side.
Time to surround yourself.
In the past month of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing galloped across the desert with 800 cavalry to fight for the title of feudal lord, creating a record that all Chinese generals looked up to. He relied on the word "fast".
If Huo Qubing had not been so slow and slow in cutting down trees and building strongholds when he attacked a certain Xiongnu tribe, then even with his champion Hou Zhiyong, he would have been annihilated by the Huns many times!
The rebel army of more than 10,000 people seemed to have a large number of people, but in the Suzhou Prefecture where the city was high and the pond was deep, it was obvious that there were some surprises. It should be noted that the way to attack a city is to encircle it and attack it in 5 out of 10 ways. There are also 10,000 Suzhou guards in the city. Even if
The commander of the Suzhou Guards, Yang Lufu, is an idiot. He has different forces in the east, and his own side occupies the city. No matter how stupid the thieves are, they will not think that they can attack Suzhou in the east by a frontal attack, right?
"Moreover, that group of people came straight to Suzhou. They did not hesitate on the way, nor did they scatter and plunder like ordinary Japanese pirates..." Zhu Su patted the folding fan in his leg.
"The goal is so clear, cannot it be simply because of pride, there must be other means that can quickly seize the city...or what..."
I thought it was just a small battle, but now it seems that those thieves have other sources of support... are there reinforcements?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the thieves' army formation parting, and a man and several attendants came out of the crowd and walked toward the east of the city.
When they arrived at a place just a stone's throw away, they stopped in the east. An attendant spread out a small horse trap, and the man with a big horse and a golden sword walked in front of the horse tower. Another attendant rushed to the east of the city and said, "I wonder if King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Dong Dong, is there?"
"
"The second son of his family, Zhang Li, would like to speak to the east of the palace if he has something to say!"
