Wang Ergou hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Yan in front of him and asked.
"Oh, a lot of the city wall in Kaizhou has been blown up. My wife is taking advantage of this moment to repair the city wall."
Wang Ergou nodded.
"By the way, what happened to the part of the city wall that was destroyed by the bombing of Daming Mansion??"
At this time, Li Yan asked Wang Ergou on the side.
"Still in the process of resting, we should be able to finish resting before the enemy arrives!"
Wang Ergou pondered for a moment and said to Li Yan in front of him.
With that said, several people started to move quickly.
City defenses were deployed, and countless messengers quickly rushed from Daming Mansion to all directions.
Various orders spread.
Dongchang Mansion and Jinan Mansion had long received orders from Zhu Cixiang and began to continuously transport gunpowder and other supplies to Daming Mansion.
The prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Dongchang Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture have basically begun to strengthen city defenses, because although the possibility of Qing troops directly attacking the hinterland is unlikely, it does not mean that there is no possibility.
At this time, Wu Di had already arrived in Jinan Mansion.
"grown ups!"
The magistrate of Jinan Prefecture shouted to Wu Di with a respectful look on his face.
"kindness!"
Wu Di nodded.
"How is the city defense consolidated??"
This was the first thing Wu Di said when he looked at the prefect of Jinan Prefecture.
"It is already being consolidated. We have 3,000 soldiers in our mansion. If we encounter a large army attacking the city, we can summon another 3,000 in a short time!"
The prefect quickly said to Wu Di in front of him.
"kindness!"
Wu Di nodded.
“Well done!”
At this time, Wu Di pondered for a moment, looked at the prefect in front of him and asked: "How is the situation over there at Daming Mansion??"
Hearing Wu Yan's words, the prefect showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes. He looked at Wu Yan in front of him with a wry smile and said: "Mr. Wu Ge, we have sent a group of labor force to Daming Mansion to repair the city wall, and also to the city.
Bian sent a batch of supplies, but I really don’t know the specific situation of the city’s defense!”
"Good! Fortunately!"
Wu Di nodded and said nothing more.
The soldiers under the prefect of Jinan Prefecture in front of us are not standing troops. They are generally miscellaneous soldiers who perform military service in the prefecture and county.
Normally, they are ordinary people, and they only receive some military training during the off-season.
There is no real soldier at all.
Therefore, it was normal for the prefect of Jinan Prefecture not to know the situation on the front line, and Wu Di did not demand anything.
Wu Di inspected the city defense in Jinan Mansion and after seeing the condition of the soldiers, he felt a little relieved.
Although these soldiers in Jinan Prefecture are just miscellaneous soldiers, they are still in good spirits.
He did not stay in Jinan Prefecture for long.
Drive and continue towards Dongchang Mansion.
"Report!!!"
Wu Di had just led him onto the carriage, when a frontline spy rushed towards Wu Di with an anxious look on his face.
"speak!"
Wu Yan looked serious and said coldly to the spy in front of him.
"Report to Mr. Ge, 130,000 Qing troops have moved south from Shunde Mansion!!"
The spy shouted to Wu Di in front of him with a panicked look in his eyes.
"Shunde Mansion..."
Wu Yan's face was serious, that place was not far from Daming Mansion!
Although the nearby Zhangde Mansion is closer to Daming Mansion, that place has long been in the hands of Li Zicheng.
The Manchu Qing would definitely not choose to attack Zhangde, because the location of this place is very good, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Zhangde is too close to the famous names.
Once the attack fails and the Ming army from Daming Mansion cuts off the retreat and cuts off the logistics, it will be a big trouble!
Therefore, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties must target Daming Mansion, and it can only be Daming Mansion. As for taking a detour from Daming Mansion to attack Dongchang Mansion...
All I can say is that this kind of behavior is no different from committing suicide.
These thoughts flashed through Wu Hong's mind.
At this time, Wu Di pondered for a moment.
"Go directly to Daming Mansion!"
Wu Di decided to go directly to Daming Mansion to have a look first. If there were any problems with the city defense of Daming Mansion, they could still solve them now, but it would be troublesome if he went late!
With that said, Wu Di directly mounted his horse. He did not take the reserve soldiers with him, but only took 5,000 people with him. The rest, Wu Di asked his subordinates to take them directly to Dongchang Mansion.
Dongchang Mansion is very close to Daming Mansion, so it can be regarded as the place where Wu Zong plans to take charge!
He was not going to go to Daming Mansion because Daming Mansion was almost 100% surrounded. If he was surrounded, he wouldn't be able to do much.
It will be much better if you are in Dongchangfu!
They can be each other's horns.
Wu Di quickly rushed to Daming Mansion with five thousand reserve soldiers.
Daming Mansion.
Li Yan, Li Dashan and others are still discussing some possible strategies of the Qing soldiers, such as poisoning, siege, and other defensive methods such as explosives.
"Report!!!!"
A spy ran into the hall.
"What's the matter?"
Li Dashan asked with a serious face towards the spy in front of him.
"General Qi, Mr. Wu Di and Wu Ge are here! They are outside the city!"
Mr. Wu Ge!
Li Yan and Li Dashan both had a look of surprise in their eyes.
"Quick! Take us to meet Mr. Wu Ge!"
Li Dashan quickly said to the spy in front of him.
At this time, Wu Di was sitting on his horse, using a telescope to look at the city wall of Daming Mansion in front of him. Countless civilians were repairing the city wall.
At least on the surface, the city wall in front of us should be almost the same!
Well done!
Looking at the city wall being repaired in front of him, Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face. The situation seemed to be better than he thought!
At this moment, the city gate slowly opened and the suspension bridge was lowered.
Li Dashan, Li Yan and Wang Ergou hurriedly rode out of the city on horseback. After arriving in front of Wu Zong, they quickly dismounted and saluted Wu Zong in front of them.
"See Mr. Wu Ge!"
Wu Di also got off the horse at this time.
With a smile on his face, he looked at the three people in front of him and said with a smile: "Okay, there is no need to give such a big courtesy to you!"
"Okay, get up!"
At this time, Li Yan and the others stood up, and Wu Yan looked at the three people in front of him with a smile in his eyes.
I have to say that Wu Di felt a little emotional in his heart.
His Highness the Crown Prince has really good taste. None of the three people in front of him comes from a general family, but he fought this battle really well!
The soldiers are also well trained!
There is also Ji Yi, who also plays very well!
Wu Di really admired the prince's vision.
"You have done well! His Royal Highness is very pleased!"
At this time, Li Dashan had a hint of shame on his face and looked at Wu Di in front of him and said: "I was too impatient! I was so anxious to occupy Daming Mansion that I disrupted His Highness the Crown Prince's plan and attracted the Qing Dynasty.
