But this is not in the wild but in the city. If half of the city is really ignited on the streets of many places here and there, it would be a great sin.

At the same time, Jiang Quanyi had to worry. He really hurt Chen Hongfan and forced him to make up his mind to take the boat to escape, which would lose his original intention of entering the city this time and also implicate the people in the city.

Seeing Jiang Quanyi hesitating, Old Man Xu said, "General, don't worry, I have sent someone to say hello on the dock. Although it cannot be left all, as long as the shipment is delayed, most of the goods will not be able to leave the dock. As for the general's concerns about the casualties of the people, the general should actually understand that once the battle starts on this street, the general will close the yamen and not leave, and the people will still be implicated. Instead of being taken hostage by the Tartars, it is better to compete with them."

Jiang Quanyi was convinced, but he still couldn't bear it in his heart. "Since Li Zheng has a certain plan in his heart, then do it according to Li Zheng's intention... However, Li Zheng is old and is better to follow his official to watch the battle, so as to give him some advice."

Old Man Xu laughed and said, "I dare not speak out and give instructions to the general... I should stay at home. The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road. If you have a little fear, you will never be able to get rid of it. With I am here, these children will not dare to fight passively. Don't worry, I am self-aware and will not go out of the house to fight the Tartars."

Seeing that the old man could not change his meaning, Jiang Quanyi stopped insisting.

He stood up and saluted Old Man Xu solemnly.

Old Man Xu didn't dodge and suffered with a smile.

....

Once the hour of Yin passes, it is the hour of Mao.

On the walls of Dongcheng, more than 300 guards have been fully deployed.

Chen Hongfan also invested a lot of money. On the walls of Xiaoxiaoshui City, six twelve-pound cannons (the cannon weighs about one thousand kilograms) and twelve six-pound cannons were placed.

If Sun Zheng had not tried his best to dissuade him, fearing that the dismantling was complicated, Chen Hongfan even wanted to carry the eighteen-pound and twenty-four-pound cannons onto the wall.

One hundred muskets, two hundred crossbowmen, plus these eighteen cannons, as well as countless rolling stones, wood and turbulent oil, form a complete fortification.

I have to say that Chen Hongfan still has some skills.

This is right. If you don’t have some real skills, even if you want to be a traitor, you may be presented to the door with a shameless face, and no one will want it.

Chen Hongfan was a martial scholar in the 46th year of Wanli. During the Wanli period, he served as a guerrilla in Gaotai, a gang general of Hongshuihe, a commander of seals in Shaanxi, and a general of Juyongguan.

By the first year of Chongzhen, he served as the assistant minister of the Right Governor's Office in Nanjing and the Grand Admiral. Although it was the Nandu, this official was a serious third-rank rank.

Later, he was granted the title of Prince Shao Troop. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Chen Hongfan was given the seal of the General Pinghu, and he was the commander of the first army.

But then again, Chen Hongfan's life was basically due to his bad personality, his timid and afraid of things, and he likes to rush into things.

When he was in charge of the seal of the Shaanxi Xingdusi, he was demoted to Kaiyuan Gang General because of his timidity and fear.

Because he was good at engaging in the camp, he climbed to the position of General Juyongguan again in just over a year.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, when Chen Hongfan was wearing the seal of the General Pinghu, he led 8,000 troops to rescue North Korea. The guy didn't shoot a single arrow. He left his army and fled dozens of miles away from the Japanese army, and was dismissed from his post by the court.

From his experience, we can see that this man is timid but cautious and shameless, but he is indeed about pursuing the camp.

If this kind of person is a tumbler in peacetime, he can be said anywhere.

At this time, Chen Hongfan was extremely firm.

As for people, there are always some obsessions. Chen Hongfan hated Wu Zheng to his bones because of the beating of Tianfu.

Otherwise, with his nature, he would have been on the ship and fled long ago.

The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, this is his blessing.

Seeing the orderly arrangement of defense, Chen Hongfan couldn't be happy.

Most of the hour passed, and the messengers sent to the county government had not returned yet.

Seeing that the sky was about to light up, Chen Hongfan was anxious.

He looked at the direction of the county government in the city and sighed from time to time.

"Master Chen, maybe it's because of the magistrate Zheng's fault... Let's leave them to drink with you?" Sun Zhengqiang said with a revelation.

Everyone knows that Zheng Youde is greedy for the cup.

But at this moment, how could we leave a commander to drink with you?

Chen Hongfan did not look back, but just shook his head slightly and said, "I am worried that something will happen, such as... Wu Zheng sent troops into the city."

Sun Zhengqiang said: "This is impossible. The commander of the Xicheng has just arrived. Everything is normal in Xicheng. Except for the feint attack launched by the mansion at midnight, there is no abnormal movement... Moreover, if a war really occurs, you can find an abnormality from this point of view. After all, the loud noise from the firearm cannot be hidden."

This made Chen Hongfan nod and agree. He took a breath and said, "What a pity, if you can kill Wu Zheng in the city today, it will avenge my deep hatred."

Sun Zhengqiang obviously disagreed, and said: "In fact, in my opinion, Lord Chen had a mistake in dealing with it today. If he ignored Wu Zheng at that time, even if Wu Zheng really found any clues, he would not be able to see the whole picture in one or two days... he would not be as tight as he is now."

Chen Hongfan's eyes flashed and said, "Mr. Sun blamed me, because I was not considering it."

After hearing what Chen Hongfan said, Sun Zhengqiang felt embarrassed and hurriedly said, "But Mr. Chen's response is also very clever, but his bad luck made Wu Zheng escape..."

Suddenly, Chen Hongfan asked another question: "Has Mr. Sun heard that Xiushui has other places to enter the city besides the city gates on all sides?"

Sun Zhengqiang was stunned and shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this... Hey, I remember once, Magistrate Zheng mentioned it after drinking. It seemed that several city walls collapsed, and the prefecture had never allocated funds to repair it. I wanted us to pay for money. Do Lord Chen still remember it?"

Chen Hongfan's face turned extremely pale, and he shouted, "No! Something must have happened."

Sun Zhengqiang was startled and asked angrily: "What happened? Did the mansion soldiers really enter the city?"

Chen Hongfan stomped his feet in annoyance, "Maybe the soldiers of the palace have really entered the city."

"Impossible?"

"It's very likely... But there won't be too many soldiers entering the city, and they will be discovered if there are too many. However, Zheng Youde's bucket may be caught off guard and was attacked... No, I have to take people to investigate. In this way, Lord Sun leads 200 people here to guard him, and I will take one hundred musketeers to investigate."

Unexpectedly, Sun Zhengqiang's face froze and said leisurely: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Lord Chen to make such arrangements? Otherwise, I will take someone to investigate and Lord Chen will be warned from this to prevent the arrival of Kingsoft Guard."

Chen Hongfan was stunned and instantly understood what Sun Zhengqiang meant. It turned out that he was afraid that his old trick would be repeated, and he would apply oil to the soles of his feet - is it a good idea to escape?
