"What should we do now? Does Mr. Gao have any plans?"

Tian Jiucheng took Gao Fuxing and had a secret conversation behind Dazhai.

The delicious food on the table cannot arouse any appetite at all.

Now Tian Jiucheng can be said to be without a master. He originally thought he could survive for at least two months. The key was the food problem.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month, it was already the end of the road.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were really ruthless. Dozens of squads shuttled through the mountains and forests, attacking and killing the people patrolling the mountains.

Now we can only close the gate of the village tightly and cannot get out.

At this time, Gao Fuxing no longer had the confidence he once had, but instead had a bit of panic on his face.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the many victories of the officers and soldiers have completely destroyed the morale of the brothers. According to my estimation, in the past two days, the officers and soldiers will launch a total attack on the mountain stronghold."

"And this time, for our village, it is a matter of life and death."

"If we can push back the officers and soldiers, our village may be able to enjoy peace for many days, and it may be possible until the Ming Dynasty gives up."

After listening to Gao Fuxing's analysis, Tian Jiucheng thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, maybe, wouldn't it be possible to keep the stronghold even if we retreat?"

Gao Fuxing smiled bitterly and said: "The person who will lead the army this time is the famous Ming Dynasty general Liang Guogong Lan Yu."

"Lanyu's temper is well known throughout the Ming Dynasty. It is said that last year, he gave Zhan Hui, the official minister, a beating and even surrounded his mansion to prevent him from reporting."

"Such a person is the most violent. If the army is defeated for the first time, it is very likely that he will force the army to attack the mountain regardless of casualties."

"Your Majesty must have seen the strength of these officers and soldiers in recent days. They are not at the same level as the officers and soldiers we fought before. They are all extremely brave."

"Any old pawn who comes to our village is at the level of a leader, but on the other side, he is just a pawn."

At this moment, Tian Jiucheng suddenly realized that even with the help of geographical advantages, he could not stop the Ming court troops at all.

Perhaps the only reason why I chose to besiege before and did not directly attack was because of spring plowing.

Thinking of this, Tian Jiucheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "If we surrender now, is there any way to survive?"

Gao Fuxing shook his head and said: "Others may have it, but your Majesty and I are destined to die."

Hearing such a sure tone, Tian Jiucheng also knew that it was a luxury hope.

It's a pity that I have been planning for several years, but once I raise my troops, it will be shattered in less than half a year.

While thinking about it, Tian Jiuzheng's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty.

"Mr. Gao, looking at it now, even if we hold on to the first Mingting charge, we can only end up defeated and killed."

"As the old saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. It's better to run away, lurk, and look for opportunities again."

Gao Fuxing said bitterly: "Now that we are surrounded from both sides, there is no way out."

"I just want to escape, but where can I escape?"

Tian Jiucheng looked deeply at Gao Fuxing, and then said: "Sir, you don't know. There is a reason why I chose to build a cottage here."

"In my residence on the mountainside, there is a secret passage that leads to the path behind the mountain."

"Normally, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to wander around and escape, but if the army comes, there will be a chance."

"Let them fight fiercely in the front to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, and then we will take hundreds of close followers and retreat from the back mountains."

When Gao Fuxing heard this, his heart moved.

He didn't know that Tian Jiucheng had such secrets that he didn't even know about.

After just thinking about it for a moment, Gao Fuxing said: "If we just run away, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time."

"If others know that the king is no longer in the stronghold, morale will collapse and the Ming court troops will easily break through the stronghold gate."

"Although I don't know how secretive the King's secret passage is, if the clues are discovered, I can escape even if I wait in these mountains."

Listening to Gao Fuxing's analysis, Tian Jiucheng gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, just don't worry."

"Only three or two people know about the secret passage. When the Ming Dynasty army attacks, I will order my confidant King Vajra Nu to lead the army to guard it. This will definitely give us enough opportunities."

Hearing this, Happy's eyes flashed.

King Vajra Nu is considered the most capable fighter in the entire village.

When they rebelled before, they were extremely brave.

Gao Fuxing knew without asking much that Tian Jiucheng definitely did not tell Wang Jingangnu about the secret path. Pushing him out at this time would be a complete suicide.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Fuxing still asked: "The village is not big, so we can't hide our departure for too long."

"The king will lead hundreds of his cronies to leave together, which will make it easier to be exposed. If the king surrenders to the Ming court, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Gao Fuxing really couldn't understand why Tian Jiucheng was still thinking about his gold and silver treasure at this time.

Several hundred people are nothing to the more than 30,000 people in the village, but these are all Tian Jiuzheng's cronies.

If so many people disappear at once, everyone will have problems.

When Tian Jiucheng heard this, he paused for a moment and then explained after a moment of hesitation: "Sir, don't worry, Commander Wang will definitely fight to the end, even if he knows that we are leaving."

After hearing this, Gao Fuxing finally understood.

Wang Jingangnu has always fully supported Tian Jiucheng and is extremely loyal.

Naturally, Tian Jiucheng could only do this if he was kind to King Vajra Nu before.

Tian Jiucheng had already predicted that even if Wang Jingangnu knew the news, he would choose to fight and die.

Gao Fuxing didn't ask any more questions.

Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters.

It's just a pity that Wang Jingangnu is such a loyal person.

Just when Gao Fuxing went back to prepare Xinruan, a loud shout came from the village:

"The officers and soldiers are attacking the mountain!!! The officers and soldiers are attacking the mountain!!!"

When Gao Fuxing heard this call, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.

To despise the cottage is to despise oneself.

At the same time, a stone fell in my heart. Without any hesitation, I took the package and avoided the crowd, and headed to Tian Jiucheng's residence.

at the foot of the mountain,

Cao Zhen was riding on a horse, with thousands of soldiers behind him. He raised his head and looked at the closed gate of the village on the mountainside and the surrounding sentry towers.

He sneered and said: "You can stop this general just by being a mere village gate."

Then he shouted: "Brothers, bring up the artillery and let these thieves know the power of our Ming Dynasty firearms!"

Following Cao Zhen's order.
