Chapter 922 should be exposed
That night, Zhao Ming convened many subordinates to discuss in the Ming army camp.
In front of the sand table, each general spoke on the current situation.
"Your Highness, the obstacles to attack Nanjing, Shili Mountain and Zhongshan have been taken down. Regardless of whether the city drives people out of the city, we will attack directly!" Jin Shenghuan said.
Zhao Ming pondered for a while. One of the important reasons Zhao Ming did not attack Nanjing before was that Nanjing was not easy to attack.
The rebels occupied the hills outside the city and set up artillery, making it difficult for the Ming army to attack the city walls.
Now, the obstacles outside Nanjing have been eradicated by the Ming Dynasty, the mountain fell into the hands of the Ming army, and the artillery has also turned its guns.
At this time, several city gates on the east were all exposed to Ming army artillery fire, and the conditions for siege were indeed ripe.
Zhao Ming nodded slightly, "The battle in Nanjing cannot be delayed."
Originally, Zhao Ming wanted to wait until Nanjing's food was exhausted and the defenders were in chaos before launching an attack.
Now the enemy has driven out of the city, and the food in the city will not be eaten for a while. Wu Sangui attacked Xuzhou and Hebei is very anxious, so Zhao Ming cannot spend it in Nanjing for a long time.
At this time, Zhao Ming walked to the edge of the sand table and said in a deep voice: "The rebels in the city are nothing but mobs, how can they compare with the elite soldiers of the Lone King's battles? Since Lime Mountain and Zhongshan have been taken down, then I will pass on the orphan's will, and each unit will prepare to attack the city in the near future."
"Here!" When the generals heard the words, they immediately clasped their fists.
After Zhao Minggang gave the order, Wang Shuang raised the curtain, "Your Highness, secret letter in the city."
Zhao Ming Wenyu took the letter and opened it to watch it, with a sneer on his face.
At this time, Zhao Ming lit the letter on the candlestick, then looked at Wang Dana and said, "The rebels will attack Zhongshan tonight, so you must take strict precautions."
The rebels in the city actually wanted to take back Zhongshan, which surprised Zhao Ming.
This may have been the daytime shelling of Nanjing, which made the Nanjing army shaken, so Zhu Yihai wanted to regain Zhongshan and avoid the Ming army shelling Nanjing.
"Here!" Wang Dana clasped his fists and asked immediately: "Do you want to set up an ambush!"
Since we learned that the rebels would attack Zhongshan, the Ming army had every condition to set up an ambush so that the rebels would never return.
Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, but shook his head, "No need, just fight back."
There is a saying, but there are only three things, and too many coincidences are too obvious.
Before, Zhao Ming took advantage of Wu Liuqi and Zhou Hezhi's absence from the camp to raid Zhongshan and Lime Mountain. It can be said that it was a coincidence that the rebels left the city and were stewed in a pot again. Then Zhu Yihai must have doubted it.
This is too obvious, and Zhu Yihai must have known that there is an internal supporter to inform him.
"Here!" Wang Dana clasped his fists and immediately went out of the tent to prepare.
Zhao Ming then said to Jin Shenghuan: "Lime Mountain, we must also be more vigilant!"
Jin Shenghuan immediately bowed his fists and said, "Here!"
Zhao Ming then waved his hand, "Everyone should act according to the arrangement."
At night, outside Tongji Gate, the lights were brightly lit.
In the open space between the city and the Ming army camp, thousands of people squatted on the ground, waiting for the Ming army to conduct a slow investigation.
Suddenly, there was a riot in the team ahead. A man was subdued by several Ming soldiers, and his hands were pinched and he was taken to the Ming army camp.
This made the already very slow investigation even slower, and the team moved like a snail.
The people who had been hungry for a day couldn't help but complain, and some even began to sob.
At this time, a general walked up to the front and said loudly: "I just found the rebels in the crowd, so the investigation should be more strict. This is because the rebels in the city want to take advantage of the opportunity of everyone leaving the city to send the rebels to destroy the army camps, so if you want to blame them, blame the rebels in the city."
After saying that, the general waved his hand and a soldier came over with a large jar and served porridge to the people.
The people who have been hungry for a long time are immediately grateful.
At this time, under the city wall, a large number of Ming army archers took bows and arrows into the city, told the Regent to the residents of the city, shot them into the city wall, and then hurriedly retreated.
The people who were driven out of the city suddenly felt a commotion.
In the book, Zhao Ming first pointed out that his achievements and legitimacy were also pointed out, accusing Zhu Yihai of launching a rebellion and entraping the people of Nanjing into the war. Then, Zhao Ming also pointed out that if Zhu Yihai did not want the people to suffer from war, he would immediately open the city to surrender instead of driving the people out of the city and displace the people.
Finally, Zhao Ming warned the people to hide at home and not come out. The Ming army outside the city promised not to bombard the houses. If they had to leave the city, they must bring enough money and food to live.
The letters shot into the city, causing great difficulties for the soldiers and horses in the city to drive out of the city.
At this time, in the city of Nanjing, in the Shence Gate Tower, Zhu Yihai and Yan Yingyuan stared outside the city.
An army of more than a thousand people was coming out from Shence Gate, and with the protection of the night, he touched towards Zhongshan.
Zhu Yihai had a gloomy face, "Do you know who it is?"
Yan Yingyuan nodded slightly, "I have guessed it!"
Zhu Yihai gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it? Gu wants to cut him alive before he can relieve Gu's hatred."
Yan Yingyuan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't be angry at the Supreme Emperor. After knowing who it is, we can use him to convey false information to Zhao Ming, and perhaps we can turn defeat into victory!"
Zhu Yihai raised his eyebrows, "What do you think of the Qing family?"
Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice: "Although Zhao Ming did not stop the people from going out of the city to take refuge, the release speed was very slow. Moreover, the fact that the Zhao thief shot another letter into the city just now may be greatly reduced. If this happens, the food consumption in the city will not be reduced, and even if there is food and the lonely city is trapped, there is no chance of winning."
Zhu Yihai's face was gloomy, and he knew that if he kept defending like this, Nanjing would be defeated sooner or later.
"Isn't there a trace of chance of winning?" Zhu Yihai punched the city wall in annoyance.
Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice: "Don't be discouraged. I think there is still a glimmer of life, that is, to capture the thief first, and as long as Zhao Ming is killed, there is still a glimmer of life."
Zhu Yihai said disgustedly: "The Zhao thief has an army of 100,000, so how can he capture the thief first?"
Yan Yingyuan said with deep eyes: "I may have a plan!"
Zhu Yihai was about to ask a question, but suddenly the sound of killing sounds broke out in the direction of Zhongshan, and fires surged into the sky at the foot of the mountain.
Yan Yingyuan sneered, "It's true that there are defenses! So many people outside the Nancheng are still gathering outside the city. Zhao's thief is not restrained by Nancheng, but is still on guard against Zhongshan. It's really rare!"
Zhu Yihai said in a deep voice: "Can you confirm?"
Yan Yingyuan said: "If you are almost alone, you will be able to attack the city and only the Supreme Emperor, the minister, and the man know. And now looking back, the man knows the actions of the army a few times before."
Zhu Yihai had a gloomy face, "It's him, why did he surrender to Zhao Zhe?"
