Chapter 450 Siege
"I can do it."

Zheng Guang threw a bomb in the field, leaving everyone stunned.

"But our Generalissimo will definitely not be able to do it. But I am thinking that since the general has put forward a condition that our Generalissimo is destined to be unable to agree to, does it mean that you are absolutely sure of capturing Thang Long?"

"Of course, if we are not completely sure, how can we go to war in such a big way?"

"I want to live, and I want to continue to be an official." Zheng Guang's tone became deeper.

Ok?
Everyone was stunned again.

Is this guy coming to surrender?

"Are you going to be a traitor?"

"Isn't Zheng a traitor? I just want to live."

"You are very interesting. We will attack Thang Long tomorrow. If you can survive the Ming Dynasty's artillery, I will not kill you after the city is broken. But as for whether you can continue to be an official, it depends on what you do after the city is broken. Showed. Tell your colleagues, as long as they are willing to cooperate with the Ming army, there is no need to worry about their lives.

If you don't cooperate, there's nothing to say.Let's go back. "

Zheng Guang saluted, turned around and left Xu Zhi'an's camp without saying anything more.

"There are smart people everywhere!"

After Zheng Guang left, Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

"Smart? He's just a traitor who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Mu Tianbo sneered and said disdainfully.

"The Zheng family is usurping the throne. It's normal for the people below to be unstable. There must be many local officials like Zheng Guang. If they are used well, they can reduce a lot of resistance to the governance of Jiaozhi." Xu Zhi'an also smiled and said.

The few people chatted for a while, but no one paid attention to the negotiation.

Their goal is very clear, which is to take over the entire Cochin. What else is there to talk about?

Zheng Guang came alone and left alone.

Returned to the Generalissimo's Mansion as night fell.

"The Ming army did not agree to the conditions for retreat and threatened to attack Thang Long tomorrow morning." Zheng Guang knelt on the ground and said.

"They didn't mention any conditions?"

"I mentioned it. But we are not satisfied."

"What conditions?"

"They asked the Zheng family to abandon Annan and move to the Ming Dynasty."

"Bastard!"

Zheng Zhi slapped the table and stood up.

"Da Ming is too deceitful! Even if I risk my life this time, I will fight them to the death!"

Seeing Zheng Zhi blowing his beard and staring in anger, Zheng Guang said nothing.

Are you willing to fight them to the death for your rights? Are the officials willing?Are the soldiers in the city willing?Are the people willing?
Will you know tomorrow?
"Did they say anything else?"

"No more. Their attitude is very tough. If I hadn't come back with a message, I would have been killed by them."

"Go back."

Zheng Bing didn't say any more, waved his hand impatiently, and dismissed Zheng Guang.

This night is destined not to be a peaceful night.

The Ming army was watching eagerly outside the city, and everyone in the city was in danger from top to bottom.

Many people are watching the movements in the Generalissimo's Mansion, eager to get useful information from it.

Zheng Guang, at this time, became a key figure in everyone's eyes, and there was an endless stream of people who came to his house at night to inquire about information.

When they learned that the talks between the two parties had collapsed, some people began to have their own thoughts.

And Zheng Zhi, after some ideological struggle, called his sons.

Zheng Zha, Zheng Qiao, Zheng Yue, Zheng Di.
"Father, why did you call us here late at night?"

Zheng Zha's eldest son Zheng Zha asked cautiously when he saw his father's expression was not good.

"The Ming army does not agree with the peace talks, and will attack Thang Long tomorrow morning. With the power of the Ming army's artillery, this Thang Long probably won't be able to defend it. Take your brother and go out of the city overnight." Zheng Bing said sadly .

"What? Father!? What about you?"

"Me? I can't leave."

"But where can we go?"

"Find a place to hide first, and then think about it in the long term. The foundation that our Zheng family has finally built cannot be ruined like this!"

"Okay!" Zheng Zhu wanted to say something more, but still nodded vigorously.

At this moment of life and death, there is no need to say anything else.

At three o'clock in the hour, in the dead of night, Zheng Zhi took his son to the city wall.

To be on the safe side, he planned to send them down in a hanging basket.

"I'll go first." Zheng Zha said in a low voice.

Zheng Zha nodded and watched Zheng Zha climb over the parapet and stand in the hanging basket.

"Wait!"

Just as the soldiers were about to put down the rope, Zheng Jie stopped them.

"Send someone to look outside first."

"Father, that's no need, right?" Zheng Zha didn't understand.

"It's better to be safe."

So Zheng Zuo turned back and hanged several soldiers.

It was pitch dark outside the city and nothing could be seen, but not long after a few soldiers went out, a gunshot was heard outside the city.

Zheng Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked outside with wide eyes, but still couldn't see anything.But sporadic sounds of fighting and screams broke through the silent night sky from time to time.

Damn!

The other party is prepared!

Zheng Zhi clenched his fists tightly.

"Father, we are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Let us keep Shenglong to help you defend the city! If we are really defeated, if we lead troops to break through, we may not necessarily die."

"That's all."

After a lot of trouble, they returned to the Generalissimo's Mansion.

The people outside the city were naturally arranged by Xu Zhian.

In order to surrender, Zheng Guang told them an important piece of information.

In order to defend against their explosives that can blow open the city gates, the east, west and south gates of Thang Long City have been sealed. Only the north gate can still be opened normally, which is Zheng Zhi's escape route for himself.

After a few people heard the news, they discussed it and sent [-] soldiers to go around the north gate overnight, and sent people to monitor the movement of the city gate to prevent people in the city from escaping.

The reason why not all of them were mobilized was because they were not sure how true Zheng Guang's words were.

No matter how many things happen at night, the sun will still rise as usual.

Early the next morning, Zheng Zhi, who had stayed up all night, came to the city wall again.

Because he received news that the Ming army was gathering outside the city and preparing to attack the city.

"The order goes down, as soon as the Ming army enters the artillery range, open fire immediately. If Sheng Long cannot be defended, everyone will become a ghost and prisoner of the Ming Dynasty! Please work together to defend Sheng Long! If we can get through this safely I will certainly not hesitate to reward you!"

"Swear to the death for the Generalissimo!"

"Swear to the death for the Generalissimo!"

Thunderous shouts echoed from the city walls.

At this time, there were more than 6 soldiers in the city, with sufficient food and ammunition.

If we look at it from the perspective of the cold weapon era, there is absolutely no chance that we cannot defend it against the more than 4 Ming troops outside the city.

You can even go out of the city to fight with him.

But the fact is just the opposite. Although they have many people, they don't have the courage to go out of the city to fight.

There is nothing more than that the Ming army has firearms that make them fearful.

And they're extremely good at taking advantage of this.

For example, Xu Zhi'an now has ordered several Chuyang II artillery pieces to be pulled out.

The target is the southern gate of Sheng Long.
