"Dengfu, don't blame me for forcing you every day, because I don't force you to work if I don't put the upside down on your neck, in a few days, Qin Mufeng's neck may be framed by the knife of the Manchurian Tartars, for the soldiers in front, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, there is only hard work for you......"

Zhu Jie patted Bi Dengfu's shoulder with his hand and said with a sigh.

Bi Dengfu's heart was shocked, was he wronged or not? Of course, I was wronged, since I became the director of the Firearms Bureau, I and my brother Bi Denghan have never been home, eating, drinking, sleeping, all solved in the Firearms Bureau, the two of them worked in shifts day and night, staring at the people of the Firearms Bureau, and after a few months, the two of them lost at least 20 pounds, too tired, there is no way, the requirements are strict, the amount of tasks is large, they are all firearms, and the safety of the society and the military is in danger, how can they be careless?

However, Zhu Jie's words made Bi Dengfu's eyes red, his nostrils sour, and he almost cried, the emperor knew that he had worked hard, how much he had done, how much the Firearms Bureau had done, the emperor was like a mirror in his heart, what else was hard work that the emperor's words of comfort could not eliminate?

"The emperor treats his ministers and other brothers like a mountain, and he values us very much, and the ministers are naturally hard to repay in case of death!"

Bi Dengfu kowtowed.

"Dead? I don't want you to die! Don't let any of you die! I still want to wait until the four seas are peaceful, so that you can all enjoy the glory and wealth! Dengfu, go all out, ahead, whether it is Xu Yifan or Qin Mufeng, they are waiting for these rocket artillery to turn the tide of the battle, you also know that now Qin Mufeng is trapped in Zhending Mansion, but it has been more than ten days, and time is running out! ”

Zhu Jie is right, the current Qin Mufeng has been besieged in Zhending Mansion for ten days, and Abatai, Yue Le, and Ao Bai are still besieging Zhending Mansion day and night!

Qin Mufeng stood on top of the city, there were many dead bodies under the city, it was already March weather, the weather was gradually warming, there were more than 20,000 dead bodies under the city wall, and even began to faintly emit a stench, it was obvious that the corpses had begun to decompose.

As for the city wall, the city wall of Beicheng, which is now the most urgently besieged, has long been scarred by cannonballs, the city wall is full of dense craters and cracks, and the wall is peeling off one by one, as for the green bricks, there is not much to see now, only the rammed earth layer can be seen, and no one knows how long such a dilapidated city wall can last!

It's been ten days, and in ten days, the Qing army has fired tens of thousands of shells at the head of the northern city, and until now, the shelling still has no intention of stopping, and I don't know how many shells the Qing army still has! The artillery of Zhending Mansion has already been completely destroyed in the war, and the current Ming army can only resist the Qing army with flesh and blood.

Abatai brought 20,000 troops, and collected one or two hundred thousand displaced people from the surrounding area to join the war group, in addition to these, five or six thousand green battalion soldiers from Taiyuan also came, Ao Bai plus Gaodi's troops, and now no less than 50,000 troops have been gathered on the periphery of Zhending Mansion, and the continuous onslaught has brought heavy casualties to the defenders of Zhending Mansion, and the three thousand elites selected by Zhendingwei and Fubiao Battalion are now only four or five hundred people, and the three thousand elites recruited from the city of Zhending Mansion are only six or seven hundred people who can maintain the battle now, 6,000 troops, casualties to this extent, it is really rare.

Qin Mufeng had to recruit elite forces in the city of Zhending Mansion again, and now it is no longer required to be an elite force, as long as he is able to fight and is willing to fight, then he can go to the city and fight to the death with the Qing army, witnessing the generosity of his compatriots to go to the country, the anger in the hearts of the people in the city of Zhending Mansion has been completely ignited, die? Isn't it death? The Overseer is not afraid of death! The generals are not afraid of death, the officers and soldiers are not afraid of death, what are we ordinary people afraid of death? Maybe if you go down with a brick, you can still smash a half Qing army, in that case, don't you earn it? If the city is really broken, then it will also be a dead end, and the whole family, men, women and children, will not want to live!

Ten days of fighting, has made the Zhending Mansion in the city of the defense of the military funds less and less, bows and arrows are now less than 20,000, this is still the common people will the Qing army into the city of the arrow gathered up, handed over to the official army, otherwise, it has long been used up, the rolling wood has also been used up, and even the beams and rafters of the houses in the city have been stripped down, used to block the Qing army's siege, not to mention the stone, even the grinding disc is now not one, Zhending Mansion, the defense is more and more difficult!

"Master Overseer, the ammunition for our muskets is almost running out, nearly a thousand musketeers, and now there are only less than 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and they can't last long......"

Lu Tao walked to Qin Mufeng's side and said astringently.

"What? Without muskets, you can't fight? Order, leave five hundred musketeers to continue to serve as a reserve team, ready to block the breach of the city defense at any time, and the rest of the musketeers, gather all the muskets, put firewood on the shelves, once the city is broken, burn all the muskets for me, not a single barrel can be left for the tartars, it's time for them to come up! ”

Qin Mufeng said coldly, nearly a thousand musketeers are the elite forces of Nanjing Right Town, even if there are no muskets, holding knives and guns in their hands, they are still more powerful elites than the green battalion soldiers!

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Tao hurriedly agreed, and his body did not move.

"What, what's the matter?"

Qin Mufeng asked.

Lu Tao smiled astringently and replied: "Master Inspector, we, our weapons are not many now, a lot of steel knives have already been cut to the edge, a lot of spears, all of them have collapsed, the newly recruited strong, don't say that the combat power is not good, even if the combat power is good, there is no way to kill people with a wooden stick......"

Not even a weapon left......

Qin Mufeng's nose was sour, and he almost cried, grandma, you can imagine how the soldiers and civilians of Zhending Mansion survived the ten-day war, it was too tragic!

"Waste, do you want me to give you an idea for this!"

Qin Mufeng shouted.

Lu Tao's face turned red and he didn't dare to speak.

Qin Mufeng shouted: "Send a word, let the people in Zhending Mansion even take out kitchen knives and shovels, as long as they are iron, all of them will be used to defend the city!" It's a kitchen knife, and it can still kill people! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Tao's chest straightened, and he hurriedly agreed, paused slightly, and then said, "My lord, look, can we let Zhao Xin and them make a move......

"No way!"

Qin Mufeng replied firmly!
