Chapter 917
In Nanjing City, after the food in the small schoolyard was burned, an anxiety spread from top to bottom in the city.
At this time, while Yan Yingyuan was rationing the grain in the city, he began to clean up the fine work in the city, temporarily stabilizing the situation.
However, as time goes by, shortages of food and various supplies in the city began to occur, and anxiety became increasingly serious.
At this time, Wu Liuqi, who was stationed in Zhongshan outside the city, found that the troops siege decreased, and immediately reported it to the city, which undoubtedly dispelled the uneasiness in the city.
The siege of troops has decreased, so what are they doing?
There is no doubt that something big happened outside Nanjing must be something that needs to be dispatched to deal with.
This made the defenders in despair very happy. Zhu Yihai and Yan Yingyuan calculated and concluded that either Wu Sangui sent troops or Zhao Ming had never been able to capture Nanjing. There were officials in the world who stood up to oppose Zhao Ming and needed Zhao Ming to send troops to deal with it.
In either case, it is an opportunity for Nanjing City.
Yan Yingyuan organized his troops out of the city that night and attacked the garrison outside the city.
Although the sneak attack was not successful, the morale of the defenders in the city was still rising and they were extremely excited.
The next day, the defenders in the city attacked again, attacking the Ming army camps, intending to restrain themselves and become enemies, create fighter jets for their peripheral allies, but they were still repelled by the well-prepared Ming army.
At this time, in the palace, Zhu Yihai and others gathered together, and were discussing excitedly about how to support friendly troops on the outside.
Zhu Yihai said: "Everyone, although the previous raid was not successful, I thought it was necessary to continue the raid and even organize a larger-scale attack."
Zhu Yuyou also said excitedly: "Not bad! Zhao Ming transferred the troops besieging Nanjing, which means that reinforcements are very close to Nanjing. We want to continue to do trouble, and we have to do big things!"
Yan Yingyuan nodded and said, "If Wu Sangui really sent troops, then it is indeed our opportunity now. The previous raids were not very successful. First, the enemy was prepared for a long time, and second, it was inconvenient to move at night. I think we should organize elite troops to capture an enemy camp, so that we can put pressure on the enemy, so that Zhao Ming could not take care of each other and create fighter opportunities for reinforcements."
Zhu Yue clenched his fists, "Jiangnan told Zhao Mingnai that it is crucial. If a camp can be broken, the defense line outside Zhao Ming City will be shaken. In this way, Zhao Ming must be worried that if he rushes out of Nanjing, he will divide his energy."
"Okay!" Zhu Yihai raised his arms and said, "According to Mr. Yan's intention, select elite soldiers tomorrow, and I will supervise the battle himself!"
In the palace, everyone discussed for a while before they dispersed excitedly.
The next morning, before dawn, five thousand elite soldiers had gathered in Shence Gate.
At this time, Zhu Yihai also wore neatly and came to the Wengcheng. Yan Yingyuan came up and saluted and said, "The Supreme Emperor, the five thousand elite soldiers, are all old soldiers in Jiangbei, and they are ready."
Zhu Yihai nodded slightly, climbed up to the city tower, overlooking the urn city, and the neatly arranged soldiers couldn't help but say enthusiastically: "Soldiers~"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his throat, he opened his head, but everyone beside him exclaimed as if they had seen a ghost, "Hey, look!"
Zhu Yihai showed unhappiness and said in anger: "What's going on?"
Everyone around them looked gloomy and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely heavy.
Seeing that no one responded, Zhu Yihai turned his head and looked at it, his eyes suddenly raised. He saw ships moving from the river in the distance, and a large number of warships sailed from the north of the river to the south bank.
When he turned around, he saw a large group of enemy troops rushing to join a large flag and enter the camp.
Zhu Yihai hurriedly took out the Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile and put it in front of him to watch. He saw a general wearing golden armor riding a tall horse, surrounded by generals behind him. If it weren't Zhao Zamao, who was it!
"Puff~" Zhu Yihai's mouth felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood filled his mouth.
"The Supreme Emperor!" Yan Yingyuan exclaimed.
Zhu Yihai reached out and stopped everyone who wanted to come forward to help him. He swallowed the blood in his mouth again.
If this mouthful of blood is spurted out, Zhu Yihai will become a laughing stock. If Zhao Zamao knows it in the future, he will have to arrange the scene of the regent returning to the emperor and vomiting blood.
How could Zhu Yihai still bear such a great humiliation? He dries the blood in his mouth, then wipes the corner of his mouth, and then goes down to the city in a hurry.
"This~" Zhu Yuyou sighed, hurried down to the city and followed Zhu Yihai back to the palace.
Yan Yingyuan glanced at the soldiers gathered in the urn city, exhaled, and said to his subordinates: "It's gone!"
When everyone in Nanjing saw that the siege of the city was getting fewer and thought that reinforcements were coming, they were preparing to cooperate with the reinforcements and do a big battle.
However, now I found that the Ming army that had withdrawn had suddenly come back, and I was not afraid.
For a moment, rumors spread in the city. When everyone saw Zhao Ming leaving and returning, they led the army back to Nanjing, thinking that Zhao Ming had defeated the Zhou army.
That night, in the imperial palace of Nanjing City, vassal kings such as Zhu Yihai, Yan Yingyuan, Yue Qijie and other ministers gathered in a hall, and Zhou Hezhi, Wu Liuqi, Li Laiheng, and others who were stationed outside the city also returned to the city to discuss major events.
At this time, Zhu Yihai coughed a few times and said melancholy: "Zhao Ming is back, can the reinforcements have been repelled?"
Everyone in the palace looked bad, and Yue Qijie said, "The Supreme Emperor, you can't mess up before the matter is clear."
Zhu Yihai calmed down a little when he heard the words, "You are right! But now there is insufficient food in the city and the situation outside is not going to be right, but I don't know what to do?"
Yue Qijie said in a deep voice: "The Supreme Emperor, I am sorry for your words."
"Please tell me your family!" Zhu Yihai said.
"It is still unclear what the situation outside the city is like now, but I think the worst plan should be made. If reinforcements are really repelled, it is better to send an envoy to negotiate with Zhao Ming." Yue Qijie said.
There was a silence in the hall, and Zhu Yihai and others were speechless for a moment.
If reinforcements are really repelled, Nanjing will be an isolated city. If you continue to fight, you will have no way to die.
But surrendering means that the Ming Dynasty completely fell into the hands of Zhao Ming, making Zhu Yihai willing.
At this time, Yan Yingyuan spoke, "Turn the people out of the city!"
Zhu Yihai was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking, "What does Mr. Yan mean?"
Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice: "I say that I will drive the people out of the city. The key to defending the city lies in food. In fact, there is still a lot of food in the city, but it is not enough to eat just to everyone. Nowadays, many large households in Nanjing still have food reserves. I think that the people in the city can be driven out of Nanjing on the grounds that they avoid the people being affected by war. In this way, Zhao Ming needs a sum of food to resettle the people, and the food left by the people will be enough for us to defend the city!"
When Zhu Yihai heard the words, his eyes couldn't help but squint. When things came to this point, he had no way out.
"Okay! Just follow the will of Mr. Yan!" Zhu Yihai looked resolute, "The descendants of the Zhu family will never surrender to the traitors!"
When the royal family heard the words, they knew that Zhu Yihai wanted to burn both jade and stone, and they all showed sad and angry expressions.
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the hall. A general ran into the hall in panic and reported urgently, "The Supreme Emperor, something is wrong. The enemy attacked Shili Mountain and Zhongshan camp."
Zhou Hezhi and Wu Liuqi were shocked, and Zhu Yihai's face also changed. Zhao Zamao really knew how to choose, so he specifically chose to attack when the main general was not there, just as if he knew that Zhou Hezhi and Wu Liuqi were not in the camp.
At that moment, the group rushed out of the hall and looked east. Sure enough, they saw torches in the direction of Lime Mountain and Zhongshan, and the sound of killing shocked the sky.
"Hurry! General Zhou and General Wu, hurry back to the battalion to reinforce!" Zhu Yihai shouted hurriedly.
