People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 532: The family members are excited to fight the cannonballs
The deputy general also understood at this time that if they were not allowed to see with their own eyes, they would never know what kind of army the Ming army was and how powerful it was.

It would be best if they saw the Ming army firing cannons as soon as they climbed up the city wall, so that they could experience for themselves how powerful the Ming army's artillery was, and they would not have some unrealistic dreams here.

The old patriarch did not forget to let out a mocking smile at this time: "When we were guarding the city gate, even if there were more than a thousand bandits under the city wall, we never bothered these families in the city, because we didn't want those families to send their children to steal the credit from us.

In fact, I have taught you this method before, but now you don’t know how to cherish this hard-earned achievement. How can we cultivate you?"

These words sound so bright.

In fact, the deputy general wanted to say that it would be better not to give us such credit, because our small bodies really cannot bear such credit.

He even said that it would be best to let the family members come together so that we would have someone to take the blame.

Sure enough, the old patriarch's words were obviously not meant for the deputy general, but for the city lord and the patriarchs present.

So the clan leaders laughed and said, "Since the old general has given us clan members a chance, we have to take it. Come on, go to the clan and tell them. Don't the young men in the family always say that the high city walls have blocked their path to success?

Now there is a very good opportunity waiting for them.

As long as they rush to the city wall, they will definitely see that our Mandala City's high walls are blocking the Ming army's attack. At the same time, they may be able to take advantage of the Ming army's exhausted situation and rush out to make achievements. "

The city lord also became excited: "Those men are all shouting about how to defeat the Ming army on the battlefield. To be honest, the Ming army is really powerful on the battlefield. It is unlikely to defeat them on the front battlefield, but when they are exhausted under the city wall, it will be a good opportunity to attack.

This is a great opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop. This kind of opportunity doesn't come around every year, and those guys got a good chance this year."

This is quite exciting.

The lieutenants never thought that these people could be so careless.

They actually used this opportunity to gain military merit. Don’t they know that it might be gone forever?

However, it seemed that these people really didn't take it seriously. They thought this was a good opportunity for the children to have the chance to go to the battlefield and witness the majesty of the walls of Mandala City.

The deputy general found it ridiculous to see these people being so smug.

What do they regard the battlefield as?
And it’s a playground for children to spy on the outside world?
what is this?
Even the old clan leader said proudly: "Then you better gather the clan members quickly. If I go there this time, I will probably order a charge. Although I won't be able to annihilate the Ming army in one fell swoop, I will definitely make them turn around and leave. If you are late, you won't be able to participate in this feast."

It's really laughable that he said such a thing.

But including the city lord and others actually thought that this sentence was absolutely right.

If you go too late, you won't be able to see any good shows.

The deputy general led the old patriarch slowly towards the city wall.

On the way, the old patriarch said to the deputy general through the window of the carriage: "From your expression, you seem to think that what I said just now was a bit arrogant?"

The deputy general replied in a low voice: "I just think that you underestimate the Ming army. They were able to defeat the Majapahit Kingdom and destroy it. Are you unwilling to admit their strength?"

The old patriarch snorted, "I have already admitted that they are powerful, but you have always been unwilling to admit that our city walls can stop them. They only have 400 people. What are you afraid of? How can you boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige?"

The deputy general was speechless when he heard this.

The old patriarch deliberately slowed down his pace because he didn't want the family members to fall behind. When they reached the city wall, they saw that more than a thousand family members from various families had gathered at the foot of the wall.

Without exception, all of these people were wearing armor that was even more luxurious than the one they had been given.

The deputy general was drooling when he saw those armors, and thought: If all these armors were worn by the soldiers, their combat effectiveness would be greatly improved.

It’s a pity that these armors will never be worn by soldiers, because in many people’s minds, the soldiers guarding the city gates are just their dogs.

Giving a dog a weapon is already a kind thing to do, but asking for armor, isn't that asking for too much?

After all, the cost of making a set of armor is more valuable than a person, so you can't waste money like this.

This is what these landlords really think.

At this time, this group of young soldiers were still excited. They had heard that the Ming army was very powerful, and they wanted to see for themselves to see if someone was bragging. They really came this time, but their family leaders said that this group of Ming troops were now blocked outside the gate by the tall walls of Mandala City.

It is impossible for these people to come in. Once the Ming troops are exhausted outside the city wall, it is time for them to charge.

If they were allowed to defeat the so-called powerful Ming army, the resistance forces in the entire Sanfuzi would rise up, and then they might be able to directly drive away the Ming army that occupied Sanfuzi.

And at that time, we will be heroes, real heroes, and our names will be placed in the king's bedroom.

Even the king would come out to meet them personally.

This group of ignorant people are even dreaming that they will become the most heroic people in the entire Sanfuqi. At that time, they will appear in the capital wearing blood-red cloaks, and let the bloody smell of the Ming army on their cloaks stimulate the noses of those who dare not resist in the capital, letting them know that their cowardice makes Mandala City look extremely powerful.

He even dreamed that when the country was restored, he would move the capital to Mandala City, so as to truly showcase the great achievements of Mandala City, the heroic city.

After the old clan leader and the deputy general arrived at the battlefront, several clan leaders also put on their military uniforms.

However, after looking around, they did not find the general guarding the city.

The deputy general was also surprised and immediately found the soldier who had conveyed the order to him and asked where the general was.

The soldier looked at the old chieftain Aruga, who was present, and said after a moment of hesitation: "The general said that the current situation is urgent, and he wants to consult the old chieftain Aruga, so that he can come up with a combat strategy against the Ming army."

After hearing this, the deputy general's head buzzed.

He thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that the general might desert the battlefield.

If the general has always felt that his own army could not be a match for the Ming army, and therefore the best way now is to hold his ground and not go out, then he should not worry too much. He probably has long believed that he has no chance of defending the city gate.

He even anticipated that these clan leaders would become arrogant, so he ran away first.

After hearing this, the old chief of Aruga was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "This coward is simply a bastard. When has he ever come to see me? I have always been in the City Lord's Mansion to discuss important matters with the City Lord."

The deputy general even wanted to laugh when he heard the result, but he didn't have any opinion about the general.

After all, in this situation, the general probably knows the group of people in front of him better than he does. These people simply don't take the Ming army seriously. However, the general, knowing how powerful the Ming army is, will definitely not choose to perish with them, so he simply runs away. Hehehe...

The deputy general just smiled and said nothing.

The old clan leader and other clan leaders including the city lord were furious, because they knew very well that if they sent people to chase him at this time, the general would probably have escaped long ago.

When the deputy general saw the city lord's frustrated look, he thought that it was probably the first time he felt that his managers' procrastination had caused trouble.

Only at this time would he truly feel that this matter must be dealt with quickly.

It's just that it's too late.

Since they don't value the general, why should he wait to die on this city wall?

The deputy general thought so and immediately decided that he should find an opportunity to escape quickly.

Otherwise, I will be cannon fodder for these people here.

However, when the soldiers heard that the general had run away, their morale immediately dropped.

When the old patriarch saw this situation, he immediately shouted: "Everyone, you are the defenders of Mandala City, your duty is to be nailed to death here.

And I have good news for you. Our city walls are not something that the defeated Ming army below can break through.”

The old patriarch was originally the general guarding the city, and his words did have some effect, and the soldiers' mood did improve.

At this time, a young man from the family saw this situation and stepped forward and said shamelessly: "We don't know who let the general guarding the city escape, but I want to say here that we are not here to defend the city this time. We are just waiting for the opportunity to annihilate this group of Ming troops in one fell swoop.

Mandala City belongs to us. It is no less powerful than the Ming Dynasty. It is wishful thinking for them to promulgate any reforms. We should even set an example here so that all the cities in Srivijaya can see that the Ming Dynasty army is simply vulnerable.

As the second largest city in Srivijaya, our city walls are so strong that no other city can compare to them. Even the capital is not much inferior. What are we afraid of?
We just need to stand on this city wall and wait for the Ming soldiers to become exhausted. Then we can rush out and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

To be frank, you are now catching up with a golden opportunity, which is given to you by our family. If we had not built such a good city wall, you would not have had the chance to catch up with this war that will leave a mark in history books.

Soldiers, your chance to make great achievements and become famous for eternity has come! ! "

The old patriarch and the city lord looked at the young man in front of them with great admiration. He was really good.

This speech was even more passionate than what I said just now. He is really a good candidate to be an official.

It would be a waste of talent if such a talent was just wasted in Mandala City. He should go to the capital to be prime minister.

The young man also really enjoyed the admiration from the people in front of him.

He had seen it clearly just now. All the elites of Mandala City were present. As long as he played to his strengths under the watchful eyes of these big guys, he would definitely get their praise.

Now that I have said this, all the bigwigs are looking at me with admiration. In this way, I have one foot in the official circle.

This time, my show was successful and left a deep impression on all the big guys. It is a foregone conclusion that I will be an official in the future.

"Let's go! Go up to the city wall and let the Ming army see the demeanor of our young generation in Mandala City!"

At this moment, he seemed to have become the leader of the younger generation in Mandala City. At his command, the young people who had already been excited by her speech followed her to climb up the city wall from the ladders on both sides.

After climbing up the three-meter-high city wall, there was indeed an open area below.

The old patriarch and the city lord also climbed up the city wall.

This city wall once condensed the hard work of the entire Mandala City.

After the city wall was built, they made bold statements that such a wall would deter the enemy and they would never harbor any illusions again.

From a distance they saw the Ming army aiming at them from under the city wall.

The pitch-black gun barrel was already aimed at the city gate tower.

Wang Dahai and his men had long been impatient. They had agreed to ask for instructions, and it had been almost an hour, but there was still no news. So they decided to attack by force. After all, it didn't matter if they had a three-meter-high wall.

So Wang Dahai ordered the red cannon to aim at the city gate tower and prepare to fire.

At this moment, Captain Liu saw a new situation.

"Old Wang, look, there seem to be more people at the city gate."

Wang Dahai carefully took out the direct-view telescope distributed to him from the long silk bag around his waist.

He stretched it out and put it to his eyes, then smiled and said, "Hey! It seems that some important people in the city have come. They are all dressed well. They don't think we are easy to bully, so they come to inspect us."

Liu Baihu was very envious of the navy's telescope. He had wanted to borrow it before and now he finally had the chance. "Come on, let me see it too!"

"Don't mess it up!"

"You are so stingy. I can't help but break it for you. Let me see it quickly." Captain Liu was impatient.

Wang Dahai had no choice but to show it to him.

Liu Baihu took the telescope and looked carefully, then laughed: "They really think we are just little bastards that can be easily manipulated. Look, they are still pointing fingers at us. It seems that they think we are no good! What do you think, Lao Wang, let's beat them up!!"

Wang Dahai didn't want to wait any longer, so he asked, "Have you aimed?"

"Reporting to the captain, we are ready!" said a soldier.

"Okay, what are you waiting for? Fire!" Wang Dahai was furious.
