The elderly shook their heads and implicitly criticized Wu Zheng, almost no doubt about Jianlu. When Jianlu entered the city, they would steal whatever they saw, but Wu Zheng was different. He took the local rich household who had already paid the money to testify against other rich households. It can be said that he was uprooted and a bunch of people.

The final summary evaluation is the most accurate in four words - General Hate Heaven.

The young people are different. They are bloody. Even scholars who are powerless, they have to shout a few times, rather than a broken jade than a complete tilde. Kong said Chengren and Meng said, "Isn't it true?"

Although they just shout that they can't do anything and have no courage to do it, this does not mean that they don't want to do it, of course, the premise is that there is no danger.

As for people, they always have a sense of honor and shame, especially these scholars.

Now Wu Zheng has been their hope and can live like a human.

It's like a drowning person suddenly discovering a straw. Even if it still sinks, he has to sacrifice his life to pounce on it and grab it.

Therefore, most of the young people in the city are Wu Zheng's fans.

They almost supported Wu Zheng in unison, and went to the streets one after another, calling on the young and strong people in the city to serve the country in groups, take bloody battles, restore the Ming Dynasty, and make achievements.

Of course, they themselves were beaten to death and refused to sign up for the suicide squad.

There is another category, that is, the women in the city.

At least half of the women regard Wu Zheng as a foe, and these women are basically mothers.

The money given by Wu Zheng is too high, so high that ordinary people are jealous of it. Even though they know it is a dead end, they can exchange their life for the comfort of the whole family and change the dilemma of poverty in one fell swoop. This is undoubtedly a temptation.

Especially for those families with two or more sons, this night is a farewell to life and death.

As a mother, the heart is always softer and more...suffering than a father.

There are also those girls who are still unmarried in the boudoir and Yunying hate Wu Zheng even more because many of their fiancés have gone to sign up regardless of obstruction.

If you have a marriage, you will have a family in-laws. Even if you have not passed by and your fiancé dies, you will be a widow.

So, they hated Wu Zheng so much that they gritted their teeth.

But there are also women who support Wu Zheng, especially those who have been bullied by the Tartars and still live in the world. In their hearts, who can avenge the humiliation they have suffered, is their reborn parents, even if they give their lives for it, they will do whatever they want.

These women spontaneously joined the propaganda and propaganda army of scholars.

There are also a small group of women, who are wealthy families in the city, and they don’t leave the gate and don’t get to the second gate.

These days they heard a few words about Wu Zheng from their father and brother, so they hid in the boudoir and began to fantasize.

They don't care whether Wu Zheng is a good person or a bad person.

Even if Wu Zheng is an unforgivable bandit, it will be difficult for the girl to have a love for her.

Hiding, alone, slowly thinking about how good and handsome he is until he thinks he is stupid.

Just like those girls who chase stars in later generations.

Therefore, in Hangzhou, there were mixed praises and criticisms of Wu Zheng. Those who made good comments promoted Wu Zheng as a hero. Those who made bad comments derogatory to a demon who plundered the people's wealth, killed people without blinking, and ate people without spitting bones.

But none of these can change the huge ship of recruitment.

In one day, Li Ruhai selected 800 strong men from thousands of applicants and formed the first suicide squad under Wu Zheng. Unlike other enlisted soldiers, they did not receive any training, even if it was the most basic training, they only received preferential treatment for delicious food and drink.

When Wu Zheng inspected the team, he felt extremely heavy and always felt that there was a group of things blocking his heart.

In the end, he said nothing, but handed the promised twenty taels of silver to them in person one by one.

Looking at the young faces with smiles, Wu Zheng lamented in his heart, brother, do you know that what you are facing is a life-and-death death.

But then I thought about it the other way around, aren’t I and the soldiers under my command still a lifetime?

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng suddenly felt relieved.

....

The battle began at the early hours of the next morning.

When the soldiers on the city wall looked at the dark enemy troops in the distance and slowly came towards Qingchun Gate, they all let out a low cheer.

This gambling won half of it.

Generals, including Wu Zheng, couldn't help but smile.

In view of the lack of troops, Wu Zheng ordered only the defense of Qingchun and Qingtai Gate, especially Qingchun Gate.

There are only one hundred people defending each gate in the North City. That is to stand on the city wall and line up, and once the enemy attacks from that point, they will fall into an instant.

Wu Zheng concentrated his troops at the Three Gate of Dongcheng, but there were also primary and secondary forces. The Qingchun Gate, which was predicted that the most likely one, concentrated 80% of its troops.

There are only one thousand defenders in Qingtai Gate, and it is closest to Qingchun Gate, and it only takes half an hour to reinforce.

Yongchang Gate has deployed 2,000 people, and it takes an hour to persevere.

But no matter what, Wu Zheng has abandoned Qingtai and Yongchang in his heart, and it is actually just a desperate bet.

This is not a joke from Wu Zheng, but a forced act. The troops were only one-quarter of the enemy. If they were divided into troops to defend, there would be only a dead end.

But obviously, Wu Zheng succeeded in the bet.

The Tartars really came to Qingchun Gate.

The Ming army soldiers gathered at the city gate had their blood swelling and their morale was greatly boosted.

It can be said that even if the most cruel hand-to-hand combat is coming soon, the Ming army soldiers would not be afraid of the Tartars at all.

Because they have some faith in their hearts.

The object of faith is Wu Zheng. If you win the bet, there is only 20% chance that you can actually bet right.

Everyone has a fantasy about victory in their hearts, which is in sharp contrast to the previous uneasiness.

The knife is in the hand and the arrow is in the string, all waiting for the moment of life and death.

But no one could have expected that the first thing the Tartars did was not infantry, but...artillery.

When the rumbling cannon sounded, it was not necessary to say that the soldiers were no longer there, and even Wu Zheng was shocked.

He never thought that the Tartars would bring heavy artillery to attack the city.

This may be because Wu Zheng has never been exposed to the red cannon, or perhaps it is because Wu Zheng is just a small employee in a fifth-tier city, and his unfamiliarity with history has caused him to be extremely passive at the moment.

Under Wu Zheng, except for Qian Qiaogong who received systematic military training, the rest of the people, including Chi Erhan and Song An, were not familiar with artillery and had never even seen artillery.

The quickest reaction was not Wu Zheng’s confidants, but Chen Shoujie and his son. When Chen Shoujie roared shrillly, "Bombardment!!!"

Chen Qicai ran up quickly and threw Wu Zheng to the ground.

The violent vibration made everyone panic, and many soldiers even had no time to react, standing there stupidly, opening their mouths wide.

God had no eyes and refused to end the disaster.
