Cao Changqing regretted not following Wang Jinzhong's words and asked the troops to take advantage of the opportunity of the enemy gathering in all directions to select elite troops to defeat them one by one.

But Wang Jinzhong was not that persistent. If the elite troops left the city and were attacked by the enemy, it would mean that there would be no elite troops to rescue him when defending the city.

Now, all the enemy troops are at the city, and there is no chance to leave the city.

Whenever the Zhongxian Captain climbed the city to investigate the enemy situation, he could always see the English nobles in the besieged camp organizing a martial arts competition to drink and have fun, but their orders that they planned to exempt the tax exemption of the citizens in the city were still transmitted into the city through various channels. The army outside was approaching, and the hearts of the people in the city were floating, and every day was torment.

No one would think that the songs outside the city were the English nobles who showed their weakness to the enemy. Although the plan to recruit troops was delayed by the ambush of the merchants from the city, they still allowed them to gather more than 2,000 troops within one month. In addition, all kinds of merchants, prostitutes, mercenaries, and scavengers looked out from the city and were filled with people.

They cut down all the visible forests, set up camps and built siege weapons, and never stopped persuading surrender.

Whether the people in power in the county or the people, this rebellion was not carefully considered. It was just a stoked out of the crowd. At this time, under the suppression of the army outside the city, people were all awakened. On the one hand, people were paying attention to the actions outside the city, exploring their true thoughts from the words sent by the nobles to the city to persuade them to surrender every few days, while on the other hand, they were paying attention to Cao Changqing's plans.

The only thing that can provide them with confidence is Master Cao's calmness.

The troops outside the city were almost more than the citizens in the city. This was just the noble corps gathered in Devon. The nobles in recent times revealed that Dorset in the east and Cornwall in the west had received requests from Devon for help. A large number of troops were on their way to the arrival of the war. No matter what, the war would end before the summer came.

Summer is coming soon.

But Master Cao was still very calm. Even Wang Jinzhong, Li Changlai and others looked very panicked and angry. Only the magistrate Cao Changqing ate, meditated, walked his dog, and slept every day. He neither handled government affairs nor was he panicked and confused, and looked like he was fine.

Not even praying.

Of course, I don’t think most people look like that. Master Cao was very panicked, but even the prayer movements were different from those of the Europafan monk.

How do monks pray? Those who kneel on one knee, those who kneel on both knees, those who bow their heads, those who bow their heads, and those who move in different ways.

How did Master Cao pray?

Cross your legs, put your hands on your legs, and raise your chin upwards, making you so angry.

He has already won in temperament.

As a mascot of faith, nothing in the county was under the jurisdiction of the magistrate Cao, the magistrate. The military affairs and defense were managed by Wang Jinzhong and Li Changlai. Joseph controls the supplies, food, and weapons. The shipyard is a good place to avoid burning. They unloaded some tiger squat cannons from the ship, and the Fran machine cannons were brought to the city. The blacksmiths in the city were also summoned to make weapons - mainly to make arrow rods and arrows.

Everyone knows that muskets are good, but most blacksmiths in the city don’t know how to build muskets, and secondly, it may be that the muskets were broken before they were built.

As for Alan Muming, who is in charge of the street patrol and the organization Baojia.

Everything went as planned, but people were under increasing pressure. The English nobles outside the city had already racked the catapults, two.

The tone of the people who persuaded surrender became more and more arrogant. Obviously, the general attack was about to come.

Early in the morning of the third day of April, Wang Jinzhong drew his bow and arrows under the city, accurately nailing the arrow to the center of the arrow stomping for practice not far away. He heard the city's lookout hand report, and another army entered the besieged camp.

"A whole army, are they carrying cannons?"

Wang Jinzhong raised his hand to buckle the bowl with a skinned mail, and he was wearing a short cotton robe with blue auspicious clouds and dark patterns. He was wearing a short cotton robe with a thousand-layer sole boots, and his calves were wrapped around his calves with iron strips. Under the cotton robe was a middle-sleeved mail shirt with a heart-protecting mirror and a cotton jacket with a lining. Two arrow pouches were hung on the waist. He did not carry a waist knife, but was carrying a four-edged iron mace behind his back.

He may be the best person in Puli County. He had no heart protection mirror on his mail shirt in the past, and was his trophy in Luzon. The owner of the mail was a squad leader who had not left Luzon after the war. He took his soldiers to become a bandit, and he was beaten to death by everyone. The riveted mail was not broken yet, but the lock ring on his chest was mostly deformed, light and strong, so he left it for his own use.

In fact, he always wanted to get a Beiyang breastplate, but he couldn't buy it in the Ming Dynasty. It was not that there was no on the market, but it was too expensive and could not afford it.

Things that are not very expensive have too few things that flow out to the market, and there are too many people who want to buy them. If you think of the word Beiyang, you can't buy them without twenty taels of silver.

Twenty taels of silver, what’s wrong with doing?

This money can buy two war horses, four pack horses, two bows, six bags of arrows, and four good goose feather sword strips, which can arm two light-haired archers.

However, now that he is going to really go to the battlefield, Wang Jinzhong can't help but regret not spending a lot of money to buy a set of Beiyang martial arts for himself... It's true that if all the Beiyang martial arts are worn from head to toe, maybe he has different courage in the battle.

Wang Jinzhong asked in a muffled voice, "Where is Captain Li?"

"The lieutenant is on the city, please come to the city."

The Mongolian sumo wrestling coach who grew up in Tianjin nodded, looked back at the sailors who were resting under the city, and called the leader to cheer up his subordinates, inserted his bow back into the bow bag behind him, and walked towards the city tower.

The atmosphere is getting tense. Nowadays, most of the sailors in the Ming Dynasty Hall live in houses near the city wall. The original Plymouth wall was mainly guarded against enemies from the sea. The city wall on the north side of the town was sloppy and mixed with wood, earth and stone, which looked stronger than the camps built by wood. Although the merchants have been strengthening recently, no one knows how long the city wall can last if it really fights.

These sailors from the Ming Dynasty have never seen anyone in this world who built the city walls up and down, but they didn't look strong.

On the city wall, Li Changlai, who was also the captain of Zhongxian, supported the battlements surrounded by a group of Nanyang warriors in Ming Dynasty uniforms, looked out of the city with a temporary sketch drawn in his hand and frowned.

Compared to Wang Jinzhong, Li Changlai was more like a leader. Even though he was just wearing a satin robe and a hair scarf, Yu Guang saw Wang Jinzhong coming up and quickly opened his hand and said, "The lieutenant came at the right time. Today, there may be 600 people joining the siege. We don't have much time. They bring at least two cannons and cooperate with two catapults. They may start siege tomorrow."

"When they started attacking, how long does Captain Wang think this city can last?"

Wang Jinzhong just shook his head slightly and didn't say anything.

They lacked war experience and missed the opportunity to attack the enemy. Now it is difficult to attack from the city, and it is also different from the city's persistence.

No one would think that this city can withstand two days of attack.

He asked, "Do you think we can hold on until the East Asian reinforcements arrive?"

"It's very difficult. If there is no accident in the request for help, the fastest and fastest will be reached Makino a month ago. The news will be sent from Makino to Mexico City, even if it is replaced on the road, it will take seven days. The generals of the military palace will dispatch troops and send more than seven days. We have to hold on for at least one month before we can see the reinforcements."

Li Chang said, turning his head and cursed: "Damn it, I'm wrong!"
