The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 532 Squeeze out the last value of the enemy

The ping-pong-pong gunshots and the sound of shells exploding from a distance outside the city made the defending general standing on the city wall anxious.

This kind of dense gunfire seemed strange to him, but also frightening.

What is strange is that in the Zheng army, except for the 3000 men trained by Major General Zheng Sen who are equipped with new-style muskets, most of the rest of the troops still use cold weapons.

What is frightening is that in the hands of the British mercenaries who came across the ocean from overseas, the sharp firearms once played a huge role in helping Zheng Zhilong wipe out another powerful pirate at sea.

The chief general of the defenders also participated in that battle.He was deeply impressed by the rapid shooting of those muskets, their ultra-long range, powerful lethality, and the scenes of corpses strewn across the field.

It was precisely because of that battle that Zheng Zhilong made up his mind to form an alliance with the British.

The 2000 soldiers under him who followed Major General Zheng Sen out of the city to chase the enemy just now were not equipped with this new type of musket at all.So the gunshots could only be from the enemy.

The result is not hard to imagine.

But he still had a little fantasy at this time, and the result he was most worried about was that Major General Zheng Sen would be captured by the enemy.

If that's the case, don't say that the official position is not guaranteed, but the head is very likely to be lost.

Although everyone was not convinced by this major general, they were extremely afraid of Zheng Zhilong's methods.

Everyone knew that Zheng Sen was Zheng Zhilong's favorite eldest son. If something happened to Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhilong would vent his anger and get angry. He, the chief defender of the army, would be the most suitable scapegoat.

But according to Murphy's Law, often the most worrying things often become reality.

The panicked appearance of several soldiers who fled back in a panic already explained the result.

And they didn't see any news from Major General Zheng Sen. These soldiers only knew that Major General rushed too fast.

These news made the defender general sigh in his heart.

He hated himself deeply, why didn't he go boldly to stop Major General Zheng Sen just now.

While panicking, he greeted Zheng Sen's 18 generations of ancestors kindly in his heart,
What he is most worried about now is that the enemy will take the opportunity to threaten him with Zheng Sen's life.

If at that time, how should I choose?

But things in the world are like this, the more you are afraid, the less and less you will be.

As soon as he ordered the whole city to be under martial law, the city gates were closed, and the order to prepare for battle came, there were dense sounds of horseshoes in the distance.

A large group of figures in short gray military uniforms and big-brimmed hats gradually appeared in his vision from far to near.

The Qin army's cavalry stopped when they were within a stone's throw of the city.From the crowd, two figures stepped out.

The figure walking in the front was the major general Zheng Sen who was tied up and had disheveled hair.

"The population above the city = I can see clearly, this is your respected Major General Zheng Sen and Mr. Zheng. He is now our prisoner!"

"If you want your major general to live, then open the city gate, disarm and surrender, and we can spare your major general!"

"If you're blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

"I'll give you a stick of incense time to think about it. After a stick of incense, if you don't agree, we will kill people!"

The caller was Liang Song, holding an iron reel in his hand, and shouting at the top of the city.

He had a loud voice, and everyone in the city could hear his voice clearly after being amplified by the iron drum.

All the soldiers of the Zheng family's army turned their eyes to the figure who was tied up in the city.

Thousands of gazes made Zheng Sheng even more ashamed and angry.

However, with his mouth blocked and his arms bound, even if he wanted to die, he couldn't die at all. He could only lower his head, close his eyes in shame and anger, and said nothing.

The soldiers looked at Zheng Sen, and finally turned their eyes to the defender standing on the edge of the city wall.

What Liang Song said just now caused waves in the hearts of these people, even though Liang Song was trying to provoke them at all.Even if Zheng Zhilong blamed it, he wouldn't blame ordinary soldiers.

Faced with such a predicament, the defender general was caught in a dilemma for a while.

On the public, he is the guard, and he must not surrender.If he surrendered just now, and the enemy would not spare the major general, then he would be dead and there would be no way out.

But if he doesn't agree.At that time, although it is said that the overall situation is the most important thing, it is difficult to say whether Zheng Zhilong will explain this truth to him at that time.

On the contrary, it is very likely that he will be used as a punching bag, and coupled with the random "good words" in front of Zheng Zhilong, he will probably end up losing his head at that time, so he is in a dilemma for a while, and he doesn't know how to make a decision.

Jianning City is originally Zheng Zhilong's hometown. In Jianning City, the Zheng family is naturally the most detached existence, so the Zheng family's eyeliner is almost everywhere.

What happened under the city has already been sent back to Zheng's old house by someone with a heart.

When the old lady of the Zheng family heard that her grandson had been arrested, and the enemy was threatening her grandson's life outside the city, the old lady immediately became anxious and angry. Regardless of her family's dissuasion, she leaned on crutches and tremblingly went straight to the top of the city in a carriage. come.

After a painful thought struggle, the garrison general finally made a decision:
He shouted towards the city: "Young general, the last general dare not be self-reliant. If you order the last general to surrender, the last general will immediately execute the order without saying a word."

The main idea of ​​the defender was that Major General Zheng Sen was gagged and speechless at this moment, so he dared to say that.In this way, the ball was kicked to the feet of the major general.

If Qin Jun dared to let go of the major general, the always proud major general would definitely not ask him to abandon the city and surrender in exchange for his own safety.After all, young people love saving face the most.

And to take a step back, even if the major general ordered him to open the city and surrender, when the time comes, Lao Zheng will blame him, and Zheng Sen will take the lead in this matter. At most, he will end up with no distinction between public and private. Life is not guaranteed.

Once Zhou Ze, Liang Song and the others heard what the guard said, they knew what he was up to.

Naturally, they couldn't give Zheng Sen a chance to speak, otherwise, it would most likely stimulate the morale of the defenders at the top of the city and make them resist desperately.

If so, the play cannot be sung,
When Zhou Ze was thinking about how to proceed, an old lady's old cry suddenly came from the top of the city:

"My grandson, why are you so miserable! Grandma is here to save you! Don't worry, if any goddammit dares to harm you, grandma can't spare him even with this old bone..."

Looking at the old lady of the Zheng family who suddenly appeared, the commander of the defenders was dumbfounded.

Zhou Ze, Liang Song and others in the city looked at each other, knowing that this matter had another chance to continue.

After hearing grandma's cry, Zheng Sen suddenly raised his head to look at the old figure on the city wall, tears streaming down his face in an instant, and he fell to his knees on the ground, crying loudly.

　Ask for tickets, ask for rewards.
