What if the intruders besieged the city for ten days? What about the siege for one hundred days?
This is even when there is no shortage of supplies!
What if there is a shortage of supplies again?
Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly.
I hope King Qin’s army will come soon!
If King Qin’s army has not arrived within three days, and if the intruders continue to attack like this, the city of Beijing may not be able to hold on for three days...
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang felt tired.
The money problem was solved last night, and Beijing is not short of supplies for the time being.
But the problem now is that many soldiers are seriously lacking in sleep!
Moreover, they have never been in a war, and now they already have some PTSD!
A trace of sigh flashed in Zhu Cixi's eyes.
Glancing at the militiamen who were collecting corpses at the top of the city wall, Zhu Cixiang was about to leave from the top of the city wall.
I happened to see Ni Yuanlu walking from another section of the city wall.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Ni Yuanlu saluted Zhu Cixiang in front of her with a respectful look on her face.
"Teachers don't have to be like this!"
Zhu Cixiang said with a smile on his face, looking at Ni Yuanlu in front of him.
Ni Yuanlu was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and had also served as Zhu Cixiang's East Palace Attendant before. Zhu Cixiang's calligraphy was taught to him by Ni Yuanlu in front of him!
Ni Yuanlu did not speak. At this time, Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly and did not dwell on the matter. He directly changed the topic.
"Ni Shangshu, are the losses to other city walls great?"
"The situation is not very optimistic, because our soldiers have little combat effectiveness, and the casualties are very heavy. However, the damage to the city wall is not too great, and it can be repaired during the day!"
Ni Yuanlu looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of her and said.
After saying that, Ni Yuanlu hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, looked at Zhu Cihong in front of her and said: "Your Highness, the biggest problem at present is that the death rate of our soldiers is too high. Although the current pension is high, more and more people
people……"
As he spoke, Ni Yuanlu looked hesitant in his eyes.
Looking at Ni Yuanlu in front of him, Zhu Cixiang's expression did not change.
"I see."
Zhu Cixiang calmly looked at Ni Yuanlu in front of him and said.
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Ni Yuanlu sighed slightly.
"By the way, if you don't have enough money for pensions and recruitment, go to Chengguo Duke's Mansion to get it."
Zhu Cixiang said calmly to Ni Yuanlu in front of him.
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Ni Yuanlu nodded.
After saluting Zhu Cihong, he turned and left the city wall.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the tragic situation on the city wall in front of him.
I hope Li Zicheng can retreat in the next two days!
Counting the time, Wu Sangui’s army of King Qin should be here too!
Zhu Cihong walked down the city wall. Naturally, he would not handle the small matters and mundane affairs on the city wall personally.
Even if Zhu Cihong were to handle it, he himself would not be so capable.
When Zhu Cihong walked down the city wall.
At this time, the camp of thieves was still in a bleak situation. No one expected such a result. When heading to Beijing, everyone was full of confidence, as long as they arrived at the gate of Beijing by themselves.
The entire city of Beijing will automatically open its doors to welcome the Chuang King's army. Unexpectedly, this is the result.
"Withdraw!"
After struggling for a while, Li Zicheng said this with some helplessness.
There was a sudden commotion among the surrounding generals who were breaking into the camp.
"Your Majesty! Let's withdraw now???"
"That's right! We can't withdraw! Your Majesty! What we told our brothers at that time was that all the wealth in Beijing City can be taken from anyone on demand! That's why the combat effectiveness of the soldiers during this period is so strong! How can we explain to our subordinates if we withdraw now?
!”
"Your Majesty! Let me lead my brothers to charge again! This time, we will definitely be able to charge to the top of Beijing City!"
…………
The generals who broke into the camp nearby were already in an uproar, and many generals were very unacceptable.
The city of Beijing is clearly right in front of us!
Beauty, gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of good things are blocked by the city wall in front of you.
As long as you cross over, you will have whatever you want. Who is willing to give up?
Everyone wants to step into the city of Beijing.
Hearing the words of the generals next to him, Li Zicheng's face flashed with anger.
"Step in? From the time we attacked the city the day before yesterday until now, we have attacked the city more than ten times in total, and tens of thousands of people have died! What's the result? Every time, you told me that you would definitely be able to stand on the top of the city, but in the end, weren't they all killed by those people?
Was someone beaten down?"
The surrounding generals had embarrassed looks on their faces.
At this time, Li Zicheng continued to say to the surrounding generals: "If we don't retreat, when the Ming Dynasty's Qin Wang army arrives, our position will not be very good and there will be no danger at all. By then, others will be in trouble! Once our supply line is cut off
…”
Li Zicheng did not continue.
But the faces of the generals around him suddenly became serious.
This is a supply line for hundreds of thousands of people!
If there is no food in the camp, it will be in trouble!
"withdraw!"
After Li Zicheng said this, he finally made up his mind and said to the generals around him.
"Plunder these cities around Beijing, and then we will withdraw to Shaanxi in an orderly manner and control Henan."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Li Zicheng had made up his mind, the surrounding generals naturally did not try to persuade him any more. Some of the generals even had excited looks on their faces, because they had long wanted to plunder.
If Li Zicheng hadn't restrained them from above, they would have wanted to plunder several cities around Beijing when they first occupied them.
Now that their king has personally issued such an order, of course they are happy.
The army of intruders began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
The first one discovered was still a Jin Yiwei.
"The intruders have withdrawn! The intruders have withdrawn!!!"
The Jin Yiwei stood on the high observation deck, watching the intruder camp in the distance begin to quickly pack up, and his face suddenly showed excitement.
Suddenly he shouted loudly towards the officers and soldiers on the city wall.
In an instant, the whole audience cheered loudly!
The intruders finally withdrew!
The officers and soldiers on the city wall all hugged each other, and everyone's eyes were full of envy.
At this time, Zhu Cixiang, who was slowly walking down the city wall, also heard the cheers coming from behind him, and was stunned for a moment.
"what happened?"
Zhu Cixi stopped with some doubts.
“Did the intruders retreat??”
Zhu Cixiang pondered for a moment, feeling a little hopeful in his heart.
"Let's go! Go back and take a look!"
With that said, Zhu Cixiang said to the several Jinyi guards on the side.
With that said, Zhu Cixi quickly climbed up the city wall with several Jinyi guards beside him.
"The intruders have retreated! The intruders have retreated!"
There were cheers from officers and soldiers everywhere.
Hearing this voice, Zhu Cixiang couldn't suppress the joy in his heart!
