After hearing this, Tan Maoxun immediately said, "What you sirs say is not unreasonable. We will naturally be famous for our attacks. But it is the most urgent thing at the moment. It is better to first explore the thief army's virtual and real situation. What the military and horses are talking about is to know oneself and enemy."

Wang Shimin asked, "Then General Tan, how is the reality and reality of the city?"

"I am also waiting for the scout to report."

Wang Shimin showed regret, and he felt that Tan Maoxun was perfunctory.

But at this moment, he was not inconvenient to say much, so he had to say, "We have the truth to attack Wu Dao, but we are brave and tit-for-tat. Since we have a tenfold advantage, we should do our best in one go, and we can teach them to be wiped out in the blink of an eye. However... the general is not unfair to be cautious in his actions, but we have a heartless request."

Tan Maoxun breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that these people would urge him to advance.

In fact, the situation in the city was not as optimistic as he imagined, because the troops were allocated by the guards near Nanjing, and everyone's minds were very complicated. He had a headache when controlling the guards in this military town. If he attacked rashly, wouldn't he hit the enemy's thoughts?

And these scholars are actually not something that Tan Maoxun can afford. In Jiangnan, people like Wang Shimin have too complicated relationships.

It is not just a matter of his ancestors being a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, but his mentor is also the famous Dong Qichang. Yuan Shu, the son of Yuan Keli, the former governor of Denglai, was still his age-lost friend. As for his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, they were all gentry clans in Jiangnan. Such people... they really can't afford to offend them.

Besides, there is not only Wang Shimin who comes here.

Finally, I coaxed these people.

At this time, he heard Wang Shimin say, "Now that the war is about to break out, and we are not easy to interfere with General Tan. It is just that this place is related to the safety of Nanjing City and students. He is willing to defend this place with the general and kill the thieves outside the city. I wonder if the general is willing to help defend the city."

Tan Maoxun dared not stop him, but said, "Without help from brothers, I will feel at ease. I will wait for Gao Yi, and I will defend the city in the future. I will definitely show my merits to you."

Wang Shimin and others were overjoyed, and Tan Maoxun simply sent them a document. After asking for it, a group of scholars excitedly went to the city gate building.

In fact, it is not that these scholars like to join in the fun, but in their minds, defending the city does not mean that those who are not up to the Qiu Ba. Only those scholars have the ability to retreat to the enemy and adapt to the situation.

Of course, the most important thing is to use ten to one, and you will definitely win this battle. Today, I will join in the fun and will have more money to brag about after defeating the enemy in the future.

Not long after, everyone climbed the city tower with a little excitement. The guards of the city tower heard their great name, as if they were offering their own grandfather.

When I climbed up the city tower and looked out, I saw the mountains rising and falling, and I saw military horses hidden in the distance. They were far away and could not see clearly, but they seemed to be in the array.

Wang Shimin and others were excited, and some people couldn't help but whisper: "Is that foolish lord there?"

Wang Shimin said: "It's not just a foolish monarch, but a traitor Zhang Jingyi, I'm afraid he's there too."

Of course, these words can only be said privately, and it is a bandit to the outside world or to propaganda.

They are children of aristocratic families, and they know a little bit.

When they thought of killing the foolish monarch and slandering ministers, their blood boiled.

In Jiangnan, the impression of this pair of monarchs and ministers was extremely bad. After all,... a large number of eunuchs from the garrison came to collect taxes, which was disgusting, let alone what new policies were going to do? When Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was here, an eunuch named Liu Jin was engaged in a Beijing investigation, which means that the unqualified ministers were directly dismissed. As a result, it made people angry and resentful, so everyone was punished.

Liu Jin’s new policy is certainly hateful, but when Zhang Jingyi’s new policy is to dig everyone’s roots!

This Zhang Jingyi is their enemy, and I really want to tear him to pieces immediately.

At this time, no one was willing to cover the last fig leaf of loyalty and righteousness.

Wang Shimin sneered: "When they are killed, the Jiangnan will be peaceful."

"Brothers, I am happy to see this and this scene. Why not recite a poem to make it stronger?"

Everyone applauded.

Wang Shimin smiled and said, "Today, the thief came, I don't know how many people I harmed. I miss the suffering of the people, but I don't know where the happiness comes from. Now... the war is imminent, and I think I will be devastated. I feel in my heart. In my opinion, this poem is not necessary."

After hearing this, everyone was in awe.

They said to Wang Shimin one after another: "Brother Wang is very thoughtful, which is really admirable."

Wang Shimin smiled with his hands behind his back and said, "We are all people under the Confucian sect and have the people in our hearts. Today, we see the thief launching a war to cause trouble in Jiangnan. We are the ones who will follow Ban Chao's affairs."

Everyone applauded.

After patrolling the city wall for a while, it seemed that it was cold and not as thought as expected, so everyone felt lost. At this time, someone said, "I heard that there are also wine shops in this military town, so I might as well wait to go and sit there!"

"I just don't know if anyone is with me for a drink." Someone laughed.

The man originally said, "There are prostitutes here. When you arrive at the restaurant, you will know it when you ask."

So everyone became excited again.

Wang Shimin also said boldly: "Let's go."

We made an appointment to go down the city wall and found a restaurant. There were already many military officers here. It turned out that the prostitute village was next door, but someone picked a few women. It turned out that these women were very bad at playing and singing, and their appearance was second-rate. They were far inferior to the thin horses in the Qinhuai River. They were really in the sky and underground.

So everyone felt nothing and finally dispersed.

...

One day later.

The artillery positions have been laid out.

Immediately afterwards... we began to investigate and investigate the distance and location of the artillery positions in the Junzhen Town.

Then, these artillery soldiers began to take out the calculations based on their positions.

This new type of artillery has a longer range and higher accuracy, and is no longer the time to shoot a few times before.

According to Zhang Jingyi's intention, the artillery teaching team has listed a gun firing table after conducting artillery experiments again and again, and all artillery soldiers need to learn.

By this time, Emperor Aoki's patience had reached its limit.

The attack time is at dawn the next day.

After dawn, we will directly bombard the city, and we must ensure that the military town will be taken down directly before dawn.

Not to mention defeating the more with less, it is simply a dream to win a military town of this size within a few hours.

However, the order was issued, but no one was opposed.

After the sixth teaching team where the artillery was located, the officers and soldiers of each squad had a meeting, they rested in advance.

The other teaching teams will take turns to rest.

That night, Emperor Tianqi's tent was lit up, and he stared at the map in a daze.

At this time, he had already predicted all possible actions by the government troops in the city, but after thinking about it carefully... it seemed to be meaningless.

"Have you arranged the people in the city?" Emperor Tianqi suddenly asked.

"We have contacted us." Zhang Jing said: "Three lieutenants in this military town have sneaked in. Before we prepare for the attack, they will raise the Kongming lantern at night to determine the location for us."

"Very good." Emperor Aoki nodded and said, "You said... we will attack the city in a one-to-ten way, and it will take a few hours, can we really win it?"

It was not that Emperor Tianqi knew the skills of Donglin Army, but obviously he still had some doubts.

To be honest... the main problem is that this is something unprecedented.

Emperor Apocalypse felt that he was creating history.

Zhang Jingyi said calmly: "I can't guarantee it. But I can only guarantee that the Donglin will do its best."

Zhang Jingyi's words were very real. Emperor Tianqi nodded and then said, "Yes, if we can't take this city before noon tomorrow, we will be out of ammunition and food. Then..."

This is self-evident!

I have to say that in the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, Zhang Jingyi is really a military genius. Damn, you can even think of this tactic of cutting off your own life first.

But... to be honest, this is what Emperor Aoki likes.

As he said that, Emperor Tianqi clenched his fists, his eyes glowed, and he continued: "I would rather burn all the jade than let these dogs sit in Nanjing for a happy life."

Time passes by little by little.

A whistle finally came from the camp.

It is a signal that urges the assembly of the Sixth Artillery Training Team.

After that... everyone began to gather, and then... they appeared in their own gun positions one after another.

The sky is still dark.

This place is three or four miles away from Junzhen.

At this time...the effective range of the artillery is roughly at this number.

If it is a little further away, there will be no accuracy.

People waited with breath until in the darkness, they finally saw several Kongming lanterns in the military town lit up.

The locations represented by different colors of Kongming lanterns are different. One is the gunpowder depot in the city, the other is the location of the military camp, and the third is the location of the general's headquarters.

The brigade officer had raised the telescope and kept looking at the distance.

On the other side, Emperor Aoki had already risen. He personally ran to the nearest artillery position and looked at the loaded artillery one by one with interest.

He couldn't help but put his hands behind his back and said to Zhang Jing who was accompanying him: "Looking back then, I also liked to shoot artillery. In Xiyuan, I set off fireworks every day. I have personally fired all the general artillery and tiger squat artillery. Your artillery... is very different. I heard that it costs a lot, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Jingyi said: "Your Majesty has seen the accounts."

"I haven't seen it, and it's not interesting to see it. Anyway, since I raise any doubts, you can find ten thousand reasons to tell me that the money is worth it." Emperor Tianqi said with a faceless face: "But after spending so much money, it's time to see the truth."

At this time...the sharp whistle piercing the sky came from a distance.

This is the outpost for preparing for an attack!
Chapter completed!
