Zhu Youlang is now very relieved.

Although he was very confident about the risky move he made, he was never very relieved.

There were not many more than three hundred Qing soldiers, but their combat effectiveness was very strong. He had no doubt about this, because in the original history, these three hundred Qing soldiers defeated thousands of Ming troops in Guangzhou City with one blow, and some even did not fight at all. When he heard that "the Tartars are coming", the whole system collapsed. Therefore, he had always dared not fully trust the combat effectiveness of the 600 soldiers he brought. Will he be defeated before he could catch the enemy? Even if he was not scared away, whether they could quickly eliminate them is the key. If the battle lasted too long, when Li Chengdong's large group of troops arrived and he had not yet controlled the Guangzhou City, it would be all over.

Now, with Chen Zizhuang and Zhang Jiayu's rural soldiers, four or five thousand people, one of them, and one of them was attacked by secretly and in order to attack without preparation, the chances of victory increased greatly, and it was basically almost certain to win. Next, with Chen Zizhuang, the former Minister of War, will also play a great role in quickly stabilizing the situation in Guangzhou City.

The most important thing, in Zhu Youlang's view, is to resist Li Chengdong's first attack.

After entering Guangzhou, Zhu Youlang had already checked Guangzhou's city defenses on the periphery with Chen Zizhuang.

The city walls in Guangzhou are not very high, but the basic protective buildings are still complete. There are arrow towers and urns in all four gates. Although the city walls are not very wide, there is still room for three horses to run side by side. Each gate even has three cannons. As long as they are properly organized and resist the attack of the Qing soldiers, they are still sure.

So, now his eyes are no longer on Guangzhou City, but on how to eliminate Li Chengdong's team of people. It's not that he has too much appetite, nor is he too ambitious, and some things must be prepared for the future. Once he doesn't make plans early, it will be too late.

...

"Jisheng, how long will it take for Lin Cha's naval army to cut off the Qing army's retreat from the Sanshui secret movement to the Nanganghe Bridge?"

In the main hall of the East Cross Courtyard, Zhu Youlang stood in front of a map of Guangzhou hanging on the east wall and asked Chen Zizhuang.

Among the people present are Chen Zizhuang, Chen Bangyan, Zhang Jiayu, Jiao Lian, Bai Gui, Zhao Yuqiao and Dai Yilan standing aside to serve the tea.

"Master Huang, if everything goes well, on the premise that Chen Jitai quickly surrenders, it will take about five days for Lin Cha to go from Sanshui to Nangang River Bridge." Chen Zizhuang replied.

Zhu Youlang did not call them the ministers, nor did they call them the emperor. This is what Zhu Youlang means. Before everything is clear, it is better to be cautious.

"Five days? Yuanzi, do you think it's difficult for us to stay for five days?" Zhu Youlang asked Zhang Jiayu again.

"Master Huang, our own soldiers are less than 5,000, and the original imperial guards in the city are only 5,000. Moreover, it is still unknown whether these 5,000 imperial guards can quickly turn against each other. If we repel the first wave of attacks of the Qing army, I feel confident. If we have to say five days, I think it is only 50% sure." Zhang Jiayu replied.

Zhang Jiayu was 34 or 5 years old, and compared to Erchen, he was a young man. Although he was born in a Jinshi, he did not look like a literati at all. His black and red face and rough hands looked more like a soldier.

"Well, it's good to be 50% sure. What I worry most is whether we can block the first wave of attacks of the Qing soldiers. Because our soldiers fought too few wars. When we meet the brutal Qing soldiers, we are afraid of being afraid before the battle. Before the enemy attacks, we will lose our position. If we can fight the first battle well, the morale of the people will inevitably increase greatly, and the fear of the soldiers will fade a lot. If we continue to fight, we have the 100,000 people in the city as a backing, and we will definitely be able to persevere until the Lin Cha army encirclement of the Qing army." Zhu Youlang said.

"Yes, Mr. Huang said," Zhang Jiayu nodded and said.

"Who is the commander of the imperial guards? Can you fight for it?" Zhu Youlang asked Chen Zizhuang.

"The commander of the Imperial Guard is Su Xiong, who is Su Tongguan's nephew. He is a very talented person, but he is a person like Zhao Kuo. If he is the commander, he will rely on Su Tongguan's words, and he will not have the ability to lead troops." Chen Zizhuang said.

"That's it, it's useless to fight for such a person." Zhu Youlang said.

"Then let's divide the work to avoid the time of unclear responsibilities and chaos." Zhu Youlang continued: "The temporary command center is established, and the command center is located here. Jisheng serves as the command center, responsible for comprehensively coordinating and dispatching personnel from all parties. Ling Bin is responsible for the general logistics. In the war, your responsibility is the most important. First, quickly calm the people and let the people in the city calm down and not be confused. It is best to contact the civil servants and generals of the Shaowu Dynasty, thinking that I can use it, so that the situation can be quickly stabilized. Second, vigorously promote the brutality of the Qing soldiers, especially Li Chengdong once did the "Three Massacres of Jiading", so that the people know that once the city is broken, they will be burned, whether rich or ordinary people, they will die without a burial place to arouse the people's resistance, and organize them to assist in defending the city; third, the equipment and materials needed to defend the city must not be short of; fourth, organize the doctors in the city to treat the wounded."

Chen Zizhuang and Chen Bangyan quickly stood up and took the order with their hands crossed.

"Yuanzi, you are the commander-in-chief of the front enemy. Ruiting, Bai Gui and Jisheng's Jiujiang Township soldiers are all under your command and dispatch. After all the three hundred Qing soldiers enter the city, you must quickly seize the East Gate. After Li Chengdong's main force arrives, you will strive to ensure that the East Gate will not be lost, and in the next defense battle, you will hold on for more than five days. In addition, send more scouts to pay close attention to the movements of Li Chengdong's army."

Ruiting is the word Jiao Lian.

"Yes." Zhang Jiayu, Jiao Lian, and Bai Gui stood up quickly and took the order with their hands crossed.

"I am protected by Bai Xing and Alan's Zhuang family soldiers. Is Alan okay?" Zhu Youlang looked at Dai Yilan.

"Master Huang, we are here to fight and cannot hide behind. Besides, our Zhuang family is the bravest. Any kind of wild beast can be killed. How can we not let us go to battle against beasts like the Qing soldiers? So, please allow Mr. Huang, we have to kill the Qing soldiers." Dai Yilan said reluctantly.

"Alan!" Chen Zizhuang shouted: "You dare not listen to Mr. Huang's words?"

"I just want to fight." Dai Yilan pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Hahaha, Alan, every girl is from every family. Why do you shout and kill and fight all day long? It's not easy to fight a war? Don't worry, there will be some wars for you in the future." It's rare to meet a girl with a modern atmosphere. Zhu Youlang has a good impression of this Zhuang girl.

"Love!" Dai Yilan gave Zhu Youlang a blank look and said in a low voice.

"Alan, why do you say that Mr. Huang?" Zhao Yuqiao quickly pulled her, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Mr. Huang is loving you. I'm afraid that you will be in danger in war, so why are you ungrateful?"
