At this time, Li Zicheng looked at Liu Zongmin who was standing aside.
There was a trace of hesitation in Liu Zongmin's eyes, and then he shook his head.
"We still don't know the situation inside the city. Our current siege methods are not suitable for a huge city like Beijing..."
As he spoke, Liu Zongmin shook his head.
At this time, Liu Zongmin looked at Niu Jinxing beside him.
"Venus! Tell me!"
Niu Jinxing hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liu Zongmin in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, our main advantage currently lies in the quality of our soldiers, which far exceeds those on the city wall. Our key now is to send some
People climb the city wall, and then we can have a place where soldiers can continuously climb the wall!
When the time comes, the city wall can be broken down!"
"How can we do this?"
Li Zicheng looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him.
Niu Jinxing pondered for a moment, looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said: "Concentrate all your strength, it is best to launch an attack in the middle of the night! Those soldiers on the top of the city wall are just farmers and have no idea what real fighting is!"
"
After listening to Niu Jinxing's words, Li Zicheng showed a thoughtful look in his eyes.
This statement does have some meaning.
"Okay! Then in the middle of the night tonight! Let's storm Deshengmen! Concentrate all the siege equipment! We'll catch him by surprise!"
Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said to the many generals around him.
Many generals around him nodded.
Although this plan cannot be called perfect, for now, it is indeed a relatively good approach.
"Okay, everyone, let's get ready!"
After hearing Li Zicheng's words, everyone around him dispersed.
And the other side.
Zhu Cixiang had already returned to the Forbidden City in a carriage.
Soon, Zhu Cixi returned to the palace.
Compared with the Forbidden City in the morning, the Forbidden City is obviously much calmer now, even though Li Zicheng has already surrounded the entire city of Beijing with a large army.
However, the high walls of Beijing blocked Li Zicheng's first wave of attacks, giving most people hope.
As long as he blocks Li Zicheng for a few days, when the army of King Qin from all over the country arrives, Li Zicheng will definitely retreat without a fight!
By then Beijing will hold on!
Everyone has this idea in their mind.
So the Forbidden City has now returned to some of its former peace, but everyone is feeling uneasy, and only he knows it.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the Forbidden City in front of him, which seemed to have been peaceful for many years, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Under the leadership of the young eunuch, Zhu Cixiang quickly arrived at Changchun Palace.
The palace of his mother, Queen Zhou.
When Zhu Cixiang set foot in Changchun Palace, he saw Queen Zhou and Chongzhen sitting together in the palace, chatting. Perhaps he sensed Zhu Cixiang entering the palace.
The two of them looked at Zhu Cihong who walked into the bedroom.
Queen Zhou's face showed a hint of joy, while Emperor Chongzhen's face looked a little unnatural.
When Li Zicheng was about to attack Beijing, he was panicked and at a loss. But his youngest son, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, brought an edict of his own.
He was actually outside, consolidating the city's defenses, and actually blocked Li Zicheng's first wave of siege, which gave everyone, including himself, a surge of hope.
At this time, Queen Zhou was already a little excited and ran to Zhu Cixiang's side.
"Brother Chun, are you not injured??"
Empress Zhou touched Zhu Cixiang's body up and down.
"Mother, I'm fine."
After all, Zhu Cixiang's current soul comes from the soul of an adult in later generations, even though Queen Zhou is the biological mother of his current body.
But being touched by a woman like this still made Zhu Cixi feel a little uncomfortable.
"As long as it's okay, it's okay! Don't do such dangerous things again in the future!"
Queen Zhou glanced at Zhu Cixiang in front of her with some anger.
Zhu Cixi smiled bitterly for a while and did not answer Queen Zhou's words.
He did not describe to his mother how dangerous the battle was at that time, and what it meant for him to appear on the battlefield at that time.
"Mother, I'm a little hungry!"
Zhu Cixiang said to Queen Zhou in front of him.
"I'm hungry! Hurry, pass the food, pass the food!"
Queen Zhou quickly said to the eunuchs next to her.
With that said, Queen Zhou and Zhu Cixiang came to the dining table.
Chongzhen on the side looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him, his expression was a little unnatural, and he did not speak first. Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and saluted Chongzhen in front of him.
"Father, in the morning, I was a little too anxious and bumped into my father. I hope that my father will forgive me for my unfilial son."
"It's okay, you're doing it for city defense too!"
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Chongzhen waved his hand and said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
He glanced at Zhu Cixiang in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and held back a sentence for a while.
"My son is lucky, but next time it's better not to do such a dangerous thing!"
"I'm worried about you, father. I'll definitely be careful next time!"
Chongzhen nodded.
Soon, rows of eunuchs nearby brought the meals up, and dishes one after another were placed on the dining table nearby.
Although Zhu Cixiang has the memory of the original owner of his body, after all, this is the first time his soul has eaten imperial food after traveling through time.
The style still surprised Zhu Cixi, but the work is really good!
I'm really hungry right now.
After going through some complicated procedures, Zhu Cihong started to eat.
The movements were not elegant at all, but Chongzhen on the side just looked at his son in front of him with a complicated expression and did not stop him.
He even pushed a chicken leg in front of him in front of Zhu Cixiang.
After eating.
Zhu Cixiang did not stay in the palace and refused Queen Zhou's request to stay in the palace to rest.
He still has to continue to deploy the city's defenses. He must prevent intruders from stealing the city at night.
However, at the insistence of Queen Zhou and Chongzhen, Zhu Cixiang also brought two serving eunuchs and two serving maids.
Looking at Zhu Cixi's retreating figure.
There was a hint of emotion in Queen Zhou's eyes.
"Brother Chun, why didn't you notice before that you like to do things so much? It seems that Brother Chun has grown up!"
"I'm afraid he has returned to his ancestors!"
Emperor Chongzhen on the side said worriedly to Queen Zhou in front of him.
Queen Zhou was stunned for a moment and looked at Emperor Chongzhen in front of her with some confusion.
"You didn't see it this morning, but Brother Chun's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Chengzu in the portrait! He also defended the city, stood on the tower, and made his own big banner. This is something that only Chengzu could do.
