After hearing the words of several people, Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice: "We stand by Jiangyin in order to let Jiannu know how difficult it is for them to conquer Jiangyin, so that the people of the world can see that if there are a hundred Jiangyin cities, Jiannu will never be able to steal the world!"

As he said that, he looked at everyone, "Jiangyin must stick to it, but after hearing Bo'an's words that day, I decided to invite reinforcements and prepare in advance so that I could break through the siege successfully at the last moment. Since Bo'an asked for his order, then Bo'an and Cheng Yuanwai will take him to break through the siege."

Breakthrough is something that requires careful planning, especially in cities like Jiangyin that are surrounded by Qing corps. They cannot break through just by wanting to break through, and external reinforcements must create opportunities.

Reinforcements will not appear suddenly when Jiangyin wants to break through, so they must contact us in advance.

Now everyone doesn’t understand the situation outside Jiangyin, and someone needs to run ahead of time, so Yan Yingyuan also agrees to send people out of the city as soon as possible.

Zhao Ming made great efforts in the nearest defending the city, and initially played a role in boosting morale and stabilizing the situation. However, as the offense and defense unfolded, after the war, the township heroes could defend the city even without Zhao Ming. Zhao Ming's role was not as important as at the beginning.

Although Yan Yingyuan has changed his view of Zhao Ming in recent times, Zhao Ming has maintained his courage and often takes action directly without waiting for Yan Yingyuan's order, which still makes Yan Yingyuan dissatisfied, so he agreed to Zhao Ming's request.

Zhao Ming immediately clasped his fists and said sternly: "Here, I'll go and prepare now."

~~~~~~~

Outside Jiangyin City, the Qing army's artillery roared and smashed the Jiangyin city walls.

In Xingchun Hall in the city, the township brave men carrying stretchers came in and out, carried the wounded in, and carried the body out.

In the yard, white cotton cloth was drying, and many doctors and women were busy inside and outside Xingchun Hall.

Li Zhizhi was cooking herbs in the yard. She looked around from time to time, looking at the wounded man who was moaning in the village.

At this time, a mighty figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, blocking most of the door.

The village hero who was entering and leaving was about to scold him, but found that the man was wearing armor and a red cloak. He was the number one fierce general in Jiangyin, and he immediately did not dare to speak.

Chen Zhizhi hurriedly turned her head and saw Zhao Ming standing at the door. This bad guy, who had picked her flowers last time, never came again.

She felt happy when she saw Zhao Ming, but she saw that Zhao Ming's armor was damaged in many places and his beard was unshaven, and he felt a little distressed.

Zhao Ming stood in front of the door, looked at the yard, locked her, and walked over directly.

Li Zhizhi bit her lower lip and said first: "You are here!"

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, lit a cigarette he had rolled, took a deep breath of wind, spit out a cigarette ring, and said calmly: "I happened to pass by, come in and see you!"

His words made Li Zhizhi blush and rubbed the corner of her clothes with her hands, and almost turned around and ran away in shame.

"I'm going out of the city to ask for help!" Zhao Ming saw Li Zhizhi lowering her head and not speaking, and suddenly said, "Jiannu besieged the city, I will bring reinforcements back and rescue you. You should be careful in the city and wait for me to come back!"

Li Zhizhi lowered her head and the corners of her clothes were almost rubbed. This man was so embarrassed to speak. What does it mean to wait for him to come back?

For a moment, Li Zhizhi didn't know how to answer the conversation. After looking up for a while, she found that the person was no longer in front of her. Zhao Ming walked outside the yard.

Li Zhizhi stomped her feet in anger, worried about Zhao Ming's safety, and couldn't help but shout with her back: "You have to be careful!"

Zhao Ming turned around, gave her a reassuring smile, and then walked away.

"Ah!" A scream was heard in the yard. When Doctor Li lost his mind, his hands were heavier, causing a wounded soldier to howl like a pig.

...

Zhao Ming came out of Xingchun Hall and went straight back to the barracks, found Liu Si, Wang Deshun and others, and ordered: "Jiangyin is an isolated city, surrounded by Liu Liangzuo, and since ancient times, the lonely city cannot be sustained for a long time, and they are trapped in the city. In the end, everyone is dead. Now the anti-Qing Yishi bee is rising, and General Yan decided to ask for help from outside, and I will take the manpower to escort Cheng Man out of the city."

Everyone nodded. They knew very well that although Jiangyin blocked Liu Liangzuo's attack, it would take a long time to run out of food and grass in the city and break up the city sooner or later.

If you can't break through, you will have to die.

These soldiers did not have the awareness of sacrificing their lives for justice and were completely forced to board the ship. When they heard that Zhao Ming was going to ask for help, they were immediately excited.

"General, I agree with asking for help!" Wang Deshun was so happy that there was still a glimmer of hope for the support representative Jiangyin. Zhao Ming went to ask for help, but no one cared about them, so life would be much more comfortable.

Several leaders agreed, "General, it's long time to ask for help, we all support you."

"Okay!" Zhao Ming slapped his thigh, stood up from his seat, walked up to grab Wang Deshun, and said sternly: "Deshun, it seems that you all understand the importance of asking for help. This time, you Wang Deshun, Sanmazi, Li Dongyuan and others will follow me to act."

Liu Liangzuo's army besieged the city, and he may not be able to break through the siege even if he is killed.

Compared to going out of the city to seek help, staying in the city and waiting to be rescued is undoubtedly much safer.

Wang Deshun's expression changed drastically, and he was busy trying to break free from Zhao Ming's hand, "General, you misunderstood~"

"Misunderstanding?" Zhao Ming pinched his hand tightly and pinched it hard.

Wang Deshun's face immediately looked ferocious and distorted, and the pain made his voice change after him. "I am humble, I wish to break through with the general, I wish to ask for help with the general~"

"Hahaha~" Zhao Ming nodded with satisfaction. He was worried about the several thorns in Taiping Camp and decided to take them away together. "After I leave, Zheng Damu will temporarily take over Taiping Camp. Before I return to the city, Liu Si, you follow Damu's orders."

Liu Si hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "As for the order of humble duty!"

~~~~~~~

The lonely city cannot be defended for a long time, and Jiangyin was besieged by the Qing army. The blood of the gentry and people will sooner or later run away. If you want to gain a glimmer of vitality, you must obtain support.

That night, there were bright torches in the open space in front of the county yamen in Jiangyin City. Zhao Ming led more than 20 soldiers to stand, Wang Deshun, Sanmazi and others were all standing there.

The flashing torches shone on everyone's faces, emitting a solemn and murderous aura.

Zheng Sen walked up to a middle-aged businessman and handed him a letter and a jade pendant, "Mr. Cheng, if you see the Fujian Navy, if you hand over these to them, you will definitely invite reinforcements."

At this time, Yan Yingyuan, wearing armor, walked out of the yamen with a sword, and suddenly shouted in grief and anger, "The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the heroes will never return once they leave! People say that there are many generous people in the land of Yanzhao, but whenever the land of the south of the Yangtze River is invaded by the barbarians in the south, there are also many loyal and fierce people."

As he said that, he glanced at everyone, "Jiangyin is surrounded. If you cannot rescue the siege, I will die in the city with your relatives. The lives of the people of Jiangyin and my lives will be entrusted to all the heroes today."

After saying that, Yan Yingyuan bowed deeply, bowed to everyone, and then ordered people to pour Zhuangxing wine and raise the wine bowl high, "All heroes, drink this bowl full of people, please help reinforcements to save Jiangyin."

Zhao Ming picked up the wine bowl, yelled loudly, "It's done."

"Please reinforcements to save Jiangyin." Wang Deshun and others were also infected by the atmosphere. They picked up the wine bowl, agreed in unison, and then drank it all, rushing to the sky.

"Bang!" With a sound, Zhao Ming and the heroes threw the wine bowl together, and then shouted: "Fight!"
