Qian Sudian really didn't believe it because he had seen these three thousand people running around the ground by less than a thousand Tartars.

Xia Wanchun suddenly said: "Sir, our army has no weapons and no supplies, and can still persist in fighting the Qing Dynasty until now. With this, we cannot doubt our loyalty, let alone..."

Speaking of this, Xia Wanchun pointed his finger at the corpse of the Tartars all over the ground and said, "These Tartar swords are enough to increase our army's combat power. We can help the adults to capture Jiaxing Prefecture with one arm."

Qian Sudian frowned and said, "But my official's mission is not to attack Jiaxing Prefecture. Besides, although the city wall of Jiaxing Prefecture is not high, the defenders in the city are not clear. With the 600 cavalry under my official command, even if you add you, I'm afraid I can't capture it."

Xia Wanchun said: "There are only 4,200 defenders in Jiaxing City. Except for these 900 Tartars, there are only 300 Tartars and 3,000 surrendered troops in the city. If the Lord attacks with our army at this time, it will definitely take down Jiaxing Prefecture without any effort."

Qian Sudian asked anxiously: "Are you serious?"

"Our army has eyeliner in Jiaxing City, and this is absolutely true."

Qian Sudian was moved. If he really wanted to occupy Jiaxing City, he cut off the supply route and retreat route for the enemy troops in attacking Hangzhou.

Although Qian Sudian was almost certain that the enemy could not retreat, because at this time, Qian Sudian didn't believe that Wu Zheng could withstand the attack of Duoduo's army and defend Hangzhou City with more than 10,000 people.

But just cutting off the enemy's supply line is enough for Qian Sudian to take this risk.

After gritting his teeth, Qian Sudian said to Xia Wanchun: "Okay, just do what you said."

....

It's been three days.

After heads and tails, Wu Zheng led his troops to fight against the Tartars for three days at Qingchun Gate.

He repelled dozens of attacks from the Duoduo army.

Among them, the Tartars climbed the city wall no less than ten times, and once, even the Ming army was about to collapse. If it were not for the matter, the dead soldiers collected would be driven out of the city wall with their lives by the method of dying together.

I'm afraid that Wu Zheng could only fight guerrillas with the Tartars in Dongcheng at this time.

But there is one thing that Wu Zheng still did not move the cannon.

Even at the most dangerous moment, Wu Zheng did not order the firing.

Of course, at that most dangerous moment, firing is useless.

Wu Zheng was also scared and sweated in a cold sweat afterwards. If the city was really broken, these artillery would not have time to blow up and give it to the Tartars.

To this end, Wu Zheng ordered a large amount of gunpowder to be buried under each cannon and ordered Chen Shoujie to blow up directly if the troops were defeated and would not be left to the enemy.

Chen Shoujie didn't understand very much. He couldn't figure out what Wu Zheng was going to do.

Although Wu Zheng explained that it was to train this mob, and to stay until the most critical moment, he caught the Tartars off guard.

But Chen Shoujie already felt that Wu Zheng’s intention was not here, at least not just for these things, but should have greater plans.

From these days, I have learned about Wu Zheng's character.

Although Chen Shoujie did not understand, he still followed Wu Zheng's order.

At least, the two views are consistent when it comes to not leaving artillery to the Tartars.

The Ming army's casualties had exceeded 5,000 at this time, almost 30% of the total force.

But the morale of the soldiers was not much low, especially when the dead soldier drove the enemy who had already won the victory and was watching to eat shit, the morale of the Ming army suddenly rose and they all became ready to die.

The power of role models is powerful.

Because of this fierce battle, the people in the city changed completely differently about the attitudes towards the Ming army.

Countless women and children began to come spontaneously, delivering water to the soldiers, washing clothes, and taking care of the wounded.

This kind of heartfelt help inspires soldiers to fight more courageously.

At this time, Wu Zheng was receiving the rich gentry and wealthy people in the city to come to work hard.

Wu Zheng really didn't expect that they would come.

Many of these were extorted by Chi Erhan and Song An, who led people to extort them.

Chi Erhan and Song An have avoided it.

Wu Zheng could not avoid it, and there was no reason to avoid it.

I could only chat with them in awkward manner.

The leader of the Labor Army is nothing but someone else, but Mo Nian.

What they bring is not rare. Most of the valuable things are essential for rice, grain, cloth, meat and eggs.

"Mr. Wu is mighty and can defend Hangzhou City for three days with few enemies. We are pleased that the Han people have brave generals and soldiers like the Lord. Today we come to work hard for the army, not for anything else, but for the strong and strong heroes under our command, so that Jianlu will not regard our Han people as no one."

He said beautifully, but Wu Zheng knew the old man's mind.

However, Wu Zheng would not say it out loud, and it would wipe out the face and ruin the "beautiful" atmosphere.

"Thank you for your kindness in Hangzhou City's family. Wu Zhengdai's command more than 10,000 soldiers thank you."

Originally, Wu Zheng thought that these people would leave after the hustle and bustle.

But unexpectedly, they refused to leave.

Both sides had already said everything they should say at this time, and they had nothing to say, which was a bit embarrassing.

Wu Zheng couldn't bear it and stood up and said, "My fellow villagers, I still have military affairs, so I won't accompany you. Li Ruhai, please greet you."

He said that, he raised his legs and was about to leave.

At this time, Mo Zhinian shouted anxiously: "Sir Wu, wait."

Wu Zheng turned around, "Is there anything else?"

Mo Zhinian turned around and exchanged eyes with everyone, and said, "Reply to the words of the adults, we really have something to discuss with you."

Wu Zheng hesitated a little and turned back to his seat, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. As long as the battle is beneficial, I will definitely not refuse. If it is not beneficial to the battle, then I will not speak up."

This sounds right, but it is actually locked up the door to death.

You know, most of these people are rich households, landlords, merchants, etc., who can get involved in the battle?

Mo Zhinian said with a shy face: "Mr. Wu, if this matter has nothing to do with the battle, it is really a little related, but if it is related, it would seem a bit more difficult."

Wu Zheng was so interested when he said this, "Then let's talk."

"Sir, are you sure to defend Hangzhou City?"

Wu Zheng was stunned. Is this a sure thing?

In fact, Wu Zheng was not sure, but he didn't think about it at all.

What he thought was how to persevere for a few more days and kill more Tartars.

Simply put, it is to drag Duoduo's troops to Hangzhou City so that He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang in Longwu Dynasty, could reduce the pressure on the Jiangxi battlefield.

This will make it impossible for the main force of the Tartars to be transferred to Hangzhou and unable to cross the river to attack Shaoxing.

But Wu Zheng certainly couldn't tell these people, so he said slightly: "Everyone has also seen that our army is brave and morale is high. Although it is still difficult to defeat the Tartars outside the city, it is still possible to defend Hangzhou City."

Wu Zheng's words made the old men caress their beards and nod their heads, showing smiles.

Only Mo Guaninian looked at Wu Zheng strangely, but he did not say it out loud.
