Nowadays, the Ming army gathered together, with a population of more than 100,000.

Under Zhu Youlang's order, the Ming army surrounded Nanchang City several times.

Seeing such a messy look, even a fly cannot fly out, let alone a human being.

Although Li Laiheng volunteered, Zhu Youlang could not let Li Laiheng take on the heavy responsibility of this pioneer alone.

The camps in Kuidong, Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo and even the Hu Ben Army themselves, Zhu Youlang.

Although a bowl of water cannot be really flat, it still needs to be taken out what it should be.

If Zhu Youlang was obviously biased to let Kuidong Xuns, Zheng Chenggong would take the lead and his direct descendants would hide behind to watch the show and would make the soldiers feel sad.

Treating everyone equally is the demeanor that an emperor should have.

As before, the Ming army did not rush to attack the city but began to dig tunnels first and prepared to explode the city wall first.

Kuidong and Zhuying had long known this, but Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan were completely unaware of it.

Zhu Youlang explained Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan suddenly realized it.

No wonder His Majesty can win Zhucheng in Huguang all the way. It turns out that he has such a specialty!

No matter how you look at it, this is a steady move.

As long as the Ming army exploded the city wall, wouldn’t Nanchang City be able to capture it?

...

...

Hong Chengchou frowned in Nanchang City.

It was his decision to withdraw into the city, but it was extremely painful to make it.

After all, the Qing army dug trenches outside the city for a long time, and the fortifications that he had finally built were abandoned like this and would feel distressed for anyone.

But if you don't retreat, you will definitely not be able to defend it.

Without any cover, a field battle with the Ming army with real swords and guns? Hong Chengchou would not do this.

What's more, the Ming army also has the hot air balloon as a killer weapon.

After seeing it once, Hong Chengchou did not plan to experience it for the second time.

There are many commanding heights in Nanchang City. If the Ming army plans to attack by hot air balloon, the possibility of the Qing army hitting is much greater.

No matter how you look at it, it is the only way to survive.

But they just survived.

How to continue to live is an issue that Hong Chengchou must consider.

According to Lu Guisheng, the Ming army had only two killer weapons. One hot air balloon is and the other one was the coffin bombardment.

Lu Guisheng told Hong Chengchou about the general process of the coffin bombing city, probably to dig a tunnel first, then put down the coffin full of gunpowder and finally ignite the gunpowder.

The huge impact force will directly blow the city wall, and the Ming army will use this collapsed city wall to attack.

Since he knew the routine of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou naturally had to start targeted defense.

First, we arrange firearms to be installed on the city walls in various places.

According to Lu Guisheng, the tunnels excavated by the Ming army would not be too long, which determines that the Ming army would definitely be within the range of the artillery.

There is still a great advantage in using cannons at high places.

There are enough artillery in Nanchang City to cover most of them.

The only problem is that Geng Jimao seems to be a little resistant.

In fact, Hong Chengchou can understand it too.

After all, Geng Jimao had the opportunity to withdraw like Shang Kexi at the beginning.

It was Hong Chengchou who went to Geng Jimao's camp to persuade him to keep Geng Jimao.

Now Geng Jimao is trapped in the city. Seeing that the Ming army is surrounded by a lot, it is impossible to break through.

I can only grit my teeth and hold on.

In this case, it would be strange if Geng Jimao's attitude is good.

But no matter how Geng Jimao's attitude is, Hong Chengchou still has to lose his smile.

After all, relying solely on the strength of Jiangxi Green Camp is not enough to defend Nanchang.

The atmosphere in the governor's yamen is very different from what was more than ten days ago.

Although Geng Jimao is here, his mind is obviously not there.

Seeing Geng Jimao posing a stinky face, Hong Chengchou forced himself to smile and said, "The enemy is in front of you, I hope King Jingnan can put the overall situation first..."

It would be fine if he didn't say this, but Geng Jimao was blown up directly as soon as he said it.

"What does Hong Jinglei mean? Is this king not the overall situation the most important? It was clearly the guy who escaped in the battle that caused the overall plan to be disrupted. Now, is Hong Jinglei going to blame me?"

Geng Jimao's tone was very bad and his face turned pale.

Hong Chengchou felt very uncomfortable too.

If he had been criticized like this ten years ago, he would have been blown up long ago.

But now his time to nourish his energy has improved significantly. Even Geng Jimao looked like this, he still said kindly: "Don't be angry with King Jingnan. What King Pingnan did will definitely write a memorial to the emperor afterwards. I believe that the emperor's wise wisdom will definitely scold him."

"As for King Jingnan who can follow me to defend Nanchang, he will make a great contribution. The emperor will definitely reward the prince with great rewards."

Hong Chengchou's words were actually to appease Geng Jimao.

But Geng Jimao is not stupid either. Such words are like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror. If you want to achieve this, Geng Jimao must win the battle.

But this is not easy.

Geng Jimao was still a little confident a little more than ten days ago, but now he is more sluggish than anyone else.

Not to mention taking the initiative, if you can defend Nanchang, you will be Amitabha Buddha.

"Why did the Ming thief suddenly become so fierce?" Geng Jimao said angrily: "If I had known this, I would have encircled Kunming and not rescued the Ming thief."

"It's useless to say these things now, I still have to think about how to defend Nanchang."

Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "It is definitely not a solution to defend the enemy. Can King Jingnan transfer troops from Fujian?"

Only now did Geng Jimao realize that Hong Chengchou was still making his own ideas.

He was angry and laughed: "I want to mobilize troops. Does Hong Jinglei think the news is spreading? Nanchang City is surrounded like an iron bucket, how can I send messengers out?"

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said, "It may not be necessary to send a messenger. There are many pigeons in Nanchang City, and they can send letters to flying pigeons."

"Fei Ge delivers a letter? Is this reliable?"

Geng Jimao asked suspiciously: "Civillain Hong is not trying to make fun of me, right?"

"It's time? Where can I feel like this? King Jingnan, don't worry. I have already released the carrier pigeons, and Zhejiang and Yangzhou have asked for help."

Hearing this, Geng Jimao couldn't believe it or not.

He hesitated for a long time before nodding his head to agree: "Okay, I will write a handwritten letter, and I hope the carrier pigeon can be brought to Fujian."

It is one thing to send a letter to ask for help from Fei Ge, but it is another thing to keep Nanchang.

If you can't hold on, everything will be useless.

"Most of the old men have arranged the defense in Nanchang City. The rest still needs more support from King Jingnan."

Hong Chengchou has already said this, and it would be meaningless to continue to argue.

They are now grasshoppers on a rope, and if they want to live, they have to help each other.

"I will send troops to the city wall to garrison. What exactly needs to be done is Hong Jingluo's arrangement."

Hearing Geng Jimao's words, Hong Chengchou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I admire King Jingnan for being so righteous."
