Hao Fenglou may not be a person who cherishes his feathers. When Zhu Di was there, as an Jinyiwei, he was cursed by the officials every day. It doesn’t matter. To put it bluntly, Hao Fenglou didn’t care what others think of him, but if he really asked him to let thousands of elite soldiers behind the palace, he would escape to the sea just because there were tens of thousands of Ming troops outside the city, which was obviously a particularly difficult decision.

So he decided to think about it for a few days.

But in just a few days, the situation finally began to worsen.

He was indeed deceived, so he made a fatal misjudgment.

Because at this time, the continuous Ming army began to appear, vast and vast, covering the clouds and the sun, and even the scouts didn't know how many military horses there were, and Hao Fenglou's judgment was... all out.

Yes, hundreds of thousands of troops from Jinling came out in full swing, and surrounded hundreds of miles outside Zhenjiang. Immediately afterwards, more and more Ming troops came to rush to help, and even the Ming troops in Jiangbei blocked Jiangkou to help the war.

At this time, the best retreat time had passed, and Hao Fenglou could choose to break through, but the risk was also extremely great. In just half a month, all retreat routes were completely cut off. Not only that, the cavalry of the three guards of Duoyan began to appear. This most brave cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was obviously the biggest nemesis of the Lang Son Army in the field.

The reason why Hao Fenglou was deceived was to some extent, it was related to the unstoppable power of the Langshan Army. He won consecutive battles and the Ming army had almost no power to resist, and the court had almost no way to deal with it. Therefore, Hao Fenglou and even the vast number of officers and soldiers of the Langshan Army had a concept that the Ming army was vulnerable. As for the nobles in the court, they were just a group of people who were greedy for life and fear death.

Zhu Xu obviously saw through this. For several months, he has been working hard to make arrangements. In order to paralyze Hao Fenglou, he weaved an illusion that was impenetrable. Because of this, Hao Fenglou was deceived.

Being deceived.

Looking from the distance from the city, there are countless streams, mountains, forests, and ridges of fields, dense camps, stretching for hundreds of miles.

Then the only choice is to stay in the city and guard it.

Hao Fenglou is a master in defending the city. In this regard, he has a lot of experience, and what he is best at is one to ten, but now, his confidence is not enough.

On the one hand, Zhenjiang has become an isolated city and its supply has been cut off. Although there is enough food storage, there is no gunpowder and enough projectiles that have been maintained for a long time, so it is unrealistic to produce in the city. Nowadays, gunpowder can only last for half a month. Although this stock is already amazing, half a month later, there is still a continuous stream of Ming troops outside the city. What should we do next?

Secondly, under the strong pressure of the Lang Son Army, the Ming army has abandoned swords, guns, swords and halberds. A large number of muskets and cannons have begun to be equipped, and these are powerful siege weapons. In front of the firearms, the role of the city wall is not much different from that of thin paper.

The Ming army's firearms were indeed far inferior to the Lang San Army. However, the other side was ten times that of the Lang San Army, and the difference of ten times was enough to make up for this gap.

In other words, if we go out of the city to fight, even if we can cause severe damage to the Ming army, in the face of this huge number, the only possibility of this lonely army is to kill a thousand enemies and destroy 800 of them, and finally the blood is gone and the entire army is wiped out.

If you hide in the city, once the ammunition is exhausted, you will be slowly dragged to death.

Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes and arrived at the city tower. He held the female wall and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that Zhu Xu has a few tricks. They have bets on all the bets and intend to gamble the country's fortune, send orders and release all scouts. No matter how many sacrifices are used, they must find out the details of the Ming army. Within three days, I will only give the reconnaissance battalion three days, three days. If there is no detailed report, the battalion officer will be dismissed and investigated!"

In fact, what Hao Fenglou had to worry about was not only the Ming army outside the city, but the Zhenjiang city began to become unstable. The arrival of the imperial army made some royalists in the city see hope and began to carry out large-scale destruction.

Hao Fenglou ordered any royal party member to suppress it. In one day, hundreds of heads were hung on the city.

Then there is waiting.

The Ming army outside the city obviously did not rush to attack. This is not because they are ruthless. The organizational capabilities of these people are really chaotic. Hundreds of thousands of troops are coming. It will take some time to sort it out slowly. How can we organize the attack now?

At this time, many military officers began to suggest surprise attacks. Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet established a stable foothold and went out of the city to attack, even if they could not cause severe damage to the other party, they could at least give the other party a little "learning".

Hao Fenglou was silent.

He chose to write.

The content of the letter is very simple, it was replying to Empress Dowager Xu. Empress Dowager Xu had proposed peace talks before, but Hao Fenglou ignored it, but now Hao Fenglou has replied.

It is ridiculous to say that this reply cannot have any effect, because before that, King Zhou instructed Empress Dowager Xu to write a letter to discuss peace, but it was just to numb Hao Fenglou, not to sincerely discuss peace. Now Hao Fenglou wants to cram for a while, how could the other party accept it?

In other words, Hao Fenglou certainly knew what he was doing. He wrote this letter with a passionate and emotional letter for only one reason, and he also wanted to numb his opponent.

Although he could attack but did not take decisive measures, but he still had hope, Hao Fenglou was showing weakness.

When the letters were sent out, it was naturally a stone sank to the sea.

After a few days, without any news, the Ming army outside the city finally made complete arrangements.

The 300,000 new troops, holding sharp firearms, had already arranged positions, sharpened their swords, and tens of thousands of cavalry of the three guards were waiting for an opportunity to attack the Lang San army that was ready to attack the Lang San army that was leaving the city at any time. The remaining guards and military households in the garrison also had tens of thousands of people, and the main burden was the auxiliary attack.

Everything is ready, but the east wind is not available.

Zhu Youzhu's imperial guard arrived at the camp. He chose his camp at Shitou Du. Jinling was on the side and on the side. There were tens of thousands of elite soldiers on both sides and the terrain was high. At this time, the dragon flag was raised, and suddenly, it became the focus of hundreds of thousands of troops.
