Rise From the Humble

"Quickly, bring up the good wine and food, and treat Mr. Zhu and all the soldiers well. We have been fighting in the freezing cold for so long, how can we not warm ourselves up with some hot soup, hot food, and hot wine." Welcomed by Magistrate Shang. After meeting Zhu Pingan and his party, he repeatedly urged the officials around him to prepare wine and food to entertain Zhu Pingan and the Zhejiang army officers and soldiers.

"I obey, I am here to urge you. I must let Mr. Zhu and all the soldiers eat and drink well. They are the great benefactors of hundreds of thousands of people in our Suzhou City." The steward of the Suzhou Prefecture's ceremonial room responded repeatedly and turned around to go. Urgent food.

What to eat? Zhu Pingan was speechless for a while.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Shang, the food and wine will be served later. Suzhou City is not yet completely out of crisis. After the Japanese pirate reinforcements arrive, they will definitely not be reconciled and will definitely attack the city. Only by repelling the Japanese pirate attack can we let the Japanese invaders defeat the enemy." They accepted the fact of defeat. After they retreat, it will not be too late to enjoy wine and food."

Zhu Ping'an waved his hand repeatedly, stopped the hostess of the Lichao, raised his hands and said to the Suzhou Magistrate and others.

"Ah?! The city gates are closed. Japanese pirates will still attack the city?!"

After hearing this, the officials such as Shang Zhifu couldn't help but feel their heart pounding. The city gates were closed. Do they still want to attack the city?

"Of course they will. When the troops arrive at the city, they won't give up unless they attack." Zhu Ping'an nodded affirmatively.

"That" Magistrate Shang heard this and looked at Zhu Ping'an and the Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers behind him, he hesitated to speak.

Several hundred Japanese pirates had just attacked the city, and the defenders on the city were as weak as chickens. Now tens of thousands of Japanese pirates have arrived outside the city. Although they have the advantage of the city wall, the magistrate Shang has no confidence at all based on the garrison on the city.

But just now Zhu Pingan led the Zhejiang army to fight fiercely outside the city, and he was really embarrassed to let people go to the top of the city to defend the city. But no matter how embarrassed you are, you still have to speak up. Why are the defenders at the top of the city so weak?

While Magistrate Shang was thinking about how to speak, Zhu Ping'an twitched his lips and took the initiative to ask for help, "Sir Shang, there are many Japanese pirate reinforcements outside the city. Although our Zhejiang army fought a lot outside the city, at this time Suzhou City is in danger. At this critical moment of life and death, we are all part of Suzhou, and there is no reason to stay out of it. Our Zhejiang army has many firearms, which are suitable for defending the city. Please give us a chance."

"Zihou, you just fought outside the city and haven't rested yet. I'm really sorry. But as Zihou said, this moment is about the life and death of Suzhou City and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. I'm sorry. I can only be shameless and ask Zihou and the Zhejiang Army soldiers to follow me up the city wall and repulse the Japanese attack. I must represent hundreds of thousands of people in Suzhou and thank Zihou and the Zhejiang Army soldiers."

Magistrate Shang was very grateful to Zhu Pingan for taking the initiative to invite him. With Zhu Pingan's words, he invited Zhu Pingan and the Zhejiang army officers and soldiers to go to the city.

"Master Shang, please." Zhu Pingan handed over his hand.

"Please, Zihou." Magistrate Shang also gave in.

While the two were being courteous to each other, a soldier hurriedly ran down from the top of the city. He was out of breath and sweating coldly. He hurriedly reported to Magistrate Shang, "Sir, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived. There are tens of thousands of people under the city, and they have even brought out the siege ladder, and they are about to attack the city."

Magistrate Shang couldn't help but panic after hearing this, and he gave in without hesitation. He grabbed Zhu Ping'an's arm and pulled him up the stone steps. Then he said, "The Japanese pirate army is about to attack the city. Zihou, let's go up quickly."

"Daqian, you take 300 soldiers to stay behind to reinforce the city gate and take care of the wounded and wounded brothers. The rest of the Zhejiang Army soldiers will line up to the top of the city." Zhu Ping'an was dragged up the city wall by Magistrate Shang, and he did not forget to turn around and command the Zhejiang Army.

Magistrate Shang dragged Zhu Pingan up to the city wall. Seeing the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army lining up in a neat line and climbing up the city wall in an orderly and fast manner, he couldn't help but praise Zhu Pingan, "Zihou is worthy of being Zihou. He commands the troops and horses as directed." "Arm commander, the Zhejiang army is well-organized and orderly. Apart from books, I have never seen such a strong army in real life. This is only what Zihou brought up in a few months. Zihou is really a talented king."

Zhu Ping'an did not take the compliments from Magistrate Shang seriously. At this critical moment, if any supporting troops came over, I believe Magistrate Shang would be able to boast.

When he arrived at the city, Zhu Pingan carefully observed the Japanese pirates below the city. All the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, numbering about 20,000 people.

Judging from the number, the number of Japanese pirates outside the city far exceeded the defenders on the city.

However, Zhu Pingan was not worried at all. The walls of Suzhou City were tall, and the Japanese pirates outside the city were rushing to attack the city. There were only less than thirty siege ladders. How could they capture Suzhou City.

In front of the Fengqiao camp, with the low wall, he could greatly demoralize the Japanese pirates and cause their heads to bleed. Now, with the tall walls of Suzhou City, Zhu Ping'an is fully confident that the Japanese pirates will be defeated and sink into the sand.

What's more, the success of the Japanese pirates is just because they are unwilling to give up. Just a head-on blow can make them wake up, give up their unrealistic ideas, and let them understand that when the Suzhou city gate is closed, their Suzhou strategy has been declared a failure.

However, the defenders on the city did not have the confidence of Zhu Pingan. Just now, hundreds of Japanese pirates attacked the city from inside the city, and they were so frightened that they were killed. At this moment, there were not hundreds of Japanese pirates outside the city, but tens of thousands of Japanese pirates.

"I, my calf seems to be cramped," one of the defenders said shivering and squatted down.

Even with the defenders nearby, it wouldn't be any better. "My second brother seems to have cramps."

"Damn it, your second brother is having cramps, your second brother is pumping water, and you fucking peed your pants!!!"

The people around him glanced at him, and some sharp-eyed people noticed that his stall was wet and couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahem, I didn't wet my pants. I just accidentally spilled the water I drank. Well, that's right, it was just water."

The man forced his respect in a trembling voice.

"Shit is spilled with water. I can smell the smell of urine from three meters away from you. You also spilled water. You are drinking urine."

The people around burst into laughter, but as they laughed, the sound changed and the vibrato came out.

There are tens of thousands of Japanese pirates watching eagerly outside the city. How can they laugh out loud? Just now, hundreds of Japanese pirates have killed them until their heads are rolling in rivers of blood. It is even more ridiculous to say that there are tens of thousands of Japanese pirates outside the city. They just have two heads. It’s not enough for the Japanese pirates to kill.

Compared with the frightened Japanese pirates, the Zhejiang army officers and soldiers were much more calm. They reloaded the guns calmly and casually joked, treating the Japanese pirates outside the city as if they were nothing. They had a psychological advantage over the Japanese pirates.

Not to mention that in front of the Fengqiao Camp, nearly 10,000 Japanese pirates ended their sinful lives with their firearms. Let’s just say that they had just fought against the Japanese pirates outside the city. They were not at a disadvantage, and hundreds of Japanese pirates fell at their feet.
