Chapter 351 The most dangerous moment
Haoge and Yuetuo looked at Andingmen with a very ugly face.
The Andingmen still couldn't take it. Seeing that it was getting dark again, they were extremely annoyed, but they could do nothing.
"Get away." Yue Tuo sighed softly in his heart and said.
Haoge didn't want to, didn't want to, but he also knew that it would make no sense to waste like this.
Jianlu quickly yelled gold, as if the army that was about to capture Andingmen retreated like a tide.
All the soldiers on Andingmen breathed a sigh of relief, including Zhou Zhengnei.
Zhou Zheng looked at Jianlu withdrawing his troops and his expression was much relaxed. No matter what, today was over and he had another night to prepare.
Cao Bianjiao was exhausted, his armor was shattered, and the blood on his body could no longer tell whether it was his or the enemy's.
He came to Zhou Zheng with difficulty, showed a stiff smile, and said, "Sir, let's keep it."
Zhou Zheng let out a light breath and said, "Yes."
He was not at all relieved when he said this. Today he suffered heavy losses, and there may be less than 5,000 people who can fight. Jianlu's momentum remains unabated, and tomorrow will inevitably be more tragic than today.
What else can I do?
Zhou Zheng gave Cao Bianjiao a calm look and turned around and walked towards the city.
Zhou Zheng immediately went to find Shen Yongmao, stood at his desk in the room and said, "Sir, tomorrow is probably a battle that will determine the outcome, and we must find a way."
Shen Yongmao even saw clearly than Zhou Zheng and said expressionlessly: "I have already let Zhao Rujiao enter the city."
Zhou Zheng frowned and said, "Five thousand people are not enough. Jianlu still has 30,000 people, and we are less than half of them."
Shen Yongmao said: "The other sects cannot be moved, and there is no one on the Duke of England, so he can only recruit young and strong people in the city."
Zhou Zhengdao: "It's not a solution either."
Shen Yongmao also knew that he had not been sleeping for several days, his face was full of fatigue, and said, "You should first appease the soldiers in the city, and I will discuss with you and find a way."
Zhou Zheng felt heavy in his heart, and without saying much, he raised his hand and asked for it.
Walking on the road to martial law, there were soldiers and yamen runners everywhere. Zhou Zheng felt a depressed and fearful atmosphere. He thought about it and headed towards the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Fang and Zhou Dingshi were shocked when they saw him coming back in blood. Before they could speak, Zhou Zheng said, "I'll take a sniff in the living room for a while, and my father came back and called me."
Zhou Fang saw Zhou Zheng shaking while walking. Knowing that he was exhausted, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, go and squint, I'll send someone to find my father."
Zhou Zheng had not been asleep for several days, and he came to the back hall without even the strength. As a result, he had difficulty lying down on the steps before he even entered.
Zhou Ding was startled and wanted to help him. Zhou Fang grabbed him and said, "Get him a quilt and find someone to watch."
Zhou Ding retreated his hand and said worriedly: "Will you catch a cold on such a cold day? I think my second uncle seems very hungry. Should I make some food for him..."
Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng's tired face, frowning while asleep, and said, "Let him sleep for a while."
Zhou Ding didn't say anything else, and quickly ordered someone to find the quilt.
Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, looked at the north gate with a serious expression, and suddenly turned around and walked out.
When Zhou Zheng woke up, he was still lying on the stone steps, wrapped in a thick quilt. When he opened his eyes, he saw that people were standing in front of him.
Zhou Fang, Liu Liuzhe, Chengjin, Shangguan Xun, Shangguan Qing and others were all there.
Zhou Zheng frowned, got up from the quilt, and said, "Why are you all here?"
Zhou Fang said: "I have recruited more than fifty people and I will go to the top of the city with you tomorrow."
Liu Liuzhe said: "Second Young Master, our Zhou Ji's friend has arrived, and there are more than 70 people."
Cheng Jin said: "Boss, I have also recruited more than 100 people and I will defend the city together tomorrow!"
Just as Shangguan Qing was about to speak, Zhou Zheng waved his hand, patted his clothes, and said, "You are yours, I think of my way."
This little person cannot solve the problem at all. If you want to defend the city, Zhou Zheng had to find another way. Just as he was about to ask Mr. Zhou when he would come back, Zhou Fang suddenly shouted: "What is your solution? Where will you attach to your skin without hair? Are we just watching? We are a seven-foot man, if we don't go into battle at this time, when will we go into battle??"
Zhou Zheng was stunned by Zhou Fang's yelling. This was the same thing Zhou Fang said once.
Cheng Jing also raised his hand and said calmly: "Sir, at this time, we can't hide anymore."
Zhou Fang looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "When it comes to officials, you are older than me; at home, I am your elder brother! In the country, I am also the imperial official. I will defend my country, how can I be the descendant of my family?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Fang's expression, and then looked at other almost similar expressions of sigh, nodded slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we will defend the city together tomorrow!"
"A real man cannot wear a body, and it is also his place to die in Wei State!" Zhou Fang said in a deep voice.
Zhou Zheng's eyes were a little red. The Ming Dynasty was not short of loyal and righteous people, and there was still some rescue for the Ming Dynasty!
Zhou Zheng felt excited and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "I will ask someone to arrange it for you and distribute armor and weapons!"
Everyone nodded and followed Zhou Zheng to leave Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Ding held the two children, looked at their backs, pursed his lips, his eyes were filled with tears, and murmured to himself.
Uncle Fu, Uncle Lin and others looked at their backs and suddenly felt a little hatred in their hearts, hating them for being old and weak, unable to take the knife and unable to get to the city.
Zhou Zheng arranged for Zhou Fang and others to continue walking around the capital and ponder the countermeasures.
Although the current situation is much better than the siege of more than 100,000 Jianlu troops in history, it is just as critical!
The capital is very chaotic. Even if martial law is strictly followed, there are still many people who can escape from the city by various means. The huge capital is full of panic.
Zhou Zheng came to Deshengmen and found Mangui.
Mangui listened to his words, his eyes widened and said, "You want to attack at night?"
Zhou Zheng had no expression on his face, his eyes were very firm, and he said, "Apart from this method, we are almost bound to lose!"
Man Gui's big beard was covered with blood stains and dust. He frowned again in a flash and said in a hoarse voice: "But it's too risky, the court will definitely not agree. Moreover, if Jianlu is prepared, then we are seeking death, and the capital will be destroyed without attacking..."
Zhou Zheng naturally understood the risks and said, "Besides taking a risk, what else can we do?"
Man Gui is also a military-aged man. After careful consideration, he said, "It's worth taking risks, but what should I do with the imperial court?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "We will go to see Shangshu Shen and Shangshu Bi, and then go to see the emperor together. We must convince the emperor. This is the only way for us to win!"
Man Gui bit the cake in his hand hard and said, "Okay, go!"
At the same time, Chongzhen summoned three auxiliary ministers, Shen Yongmao, and Bi Ziyan arrived at the Ganqing Palace.
In the Ganqing Palace, the lights were brightly lit, Chongzhen's face was expressionless, and Wang Chengen and Li Zhong stood behind him.
Outside the Ganqing Palace, there are more than 20 Jinyiwei standing guards, filled with silent solemn aura.
Han Xuan, Qian Longxi, Shen Yongmao and others had serious expressions. They also saw a formation like this for the first time in the Ganqing Palace.
"Look at this memorial." Chongzhen handed over a memorial in front of him.
