"Fortunately, I received a letter of help from Yangzhou, Zhenjiang in the morning, so I did not send troops to rescue me immediately!"

Chu Ping couldn't help but say: "The rebel navy has such a strong force and is so fierce when fighting. If you send troops to your pocket, you will definitely go without going back!"

"What's the use of saying this now?" Hearing this, Guo Zhao's face looked very bad.

After receiving the news, he tried his best to send troops to rescue him immediately!

He immediately said without hesitation: "The treacherous navy is already at the city and starts shelling! It is the main point to find a way to deal with it!"

Hearing this, Chu Ping and Wang Tingxuan couldn't help but shut their mouths.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Guo Zhao couldn't help but frown and said seriously: "How to deal with the current situation? What are your opinions?"

Chu Ping and Wang Tingxuan looked at each other, then lowered their heads and stopped talking.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ping bowed and said, "The platform is built, I will listen to you! Wherever you say you will fight, the brothers under Beizhi will fight!"

"The Master of the Taiwan Strait, the humble official, the prefect, and all the officials are the only ones who are in charge!"

Wang Tingxuan also said hurriedly!

"There is nothing but this sentence?"

Guo Zhao immediately looked stern and said bluntly: "One of you is the general of the Green Camp and the other is the prefect of Huaiyin. He is the highest civil and military official in Huaiyin Prefecture! At a critical moment, you can't just let me make the decision, you have to think about it!"

Hearing this, Chu Ping couldn't help but tighten his face, and Wang Tingxuan couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, another loud shelling sounded outside the city gate!

The thunderous shelling sounded shocked Guo Zhao's heart and his feet couldn't help but feel soft!

He hurriedly scolded: "You guys should think of a solution!"

"There has always been nothing more than fighting and defending two strategies."

Wang Tingxuan hurriedly said, "The rebels have strong forces and fierce combat power. The army in Huaiyin City has only seven or eight thousand troops, and the weapons are far apart. If you go out of the city to fight, you will definitely not be your opponent!"

"Then there is only one way to defend?" Guo Zhao asked hurriedly.

"Huaiyin City is an important town in Jiangbei, with a high city and a deep pool!"

Wang Tingxuan hurriedly said: "The city wall has been renovated in the fourth year of Shunzhi! We are just relying on our firmness and sticking to the waiting for help!"

"The thief cannon is sharp, and Nanjing City hasn't lasted for long!"

Hearing this, Chu Ping's face tightened and he hurriedly said, "It's hard for us to stick to Huaiyin City!"

"Chu Junmen, I didn't say that you will stick to it!"

Wang Tingxuan hurriedly said, "I mean, we must first defend with the strong city walls, and at the same time, the National Taiwan Master will strictly order the surrounding prefectures to send heavy troops to help!"

"This is a solution!" Guo Zhao couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Unexpectedly, Guo Zhao agreed with this idea, Chu Ping couldn't help but get anxious!

What kind of virtue is the Green Camp soldiers under his command? He knows it himself!

Although there are five or six thousand soldiers in the Green Camp, they are trained well and their equipment is also good among the Green Camp soldiers.

The bandits and thieves along the Jiangbei, Jianghuai and Canal have won many battles and are known as the elite of the Green Camp.

But what they deal with was only bandits and bandits, poor weapons, lack of training, and no tactics. To put it bluntly, they were just groups of ordinary people holding simple weapons!

This time, I faced the Zhongzhen Camp Navy, who was well-trained, strong ships and powerful guns, and won consecutive victories!

Most of the five or six thousand brothers under his command were equipped with waist swords and spears, less than 30% of the musketeers, and less than 100 artillery pieces!

Relying on such strength to fight face-to-face with the Zhongzhen Camp Navy, it would be like using an egg to touch a stone!

Thinking of this, Chu Ping hurriedly said, "Master Jiantai, you must not! The green camp soldiers under Beiyi are no match for the rebels! They will defend the city but will not last long! Once the city is broken, the entire army will be wiped out!"

"Chu Army Sect, you are a famous general in Jiangbei. Your troops under your command are even more elite in the Green Camp, and you have made many military achievements!"

Wang Tingxuan hurriedly said, "Why are you so unsure about facing the thief?"

"Mr. Wang, the thief navy has strong ships and cannons, and its combat power is very fierce!"

Chu Ping said anxiously: "All the large and small artillery in Huaiyin City are no more than 200. The red-clothed cannons and large-sized Frangi, the total number is no more than 80. It is not as good as a main warship of the rebels! Sticking to the ground is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!"

At this moment, loud sounds of shelling came from outside the city gate!

Seeing Chu Ping and Wang Tingxuan arguing and listening to the increasingly dense sound of cannons outside the city, Guo Zhao couldn't help but be anxious and angry!

I couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Don't fight! The thief's cannons keep ringing! If you continue to fight like this, the thief has already entered the city before you can fight for a result!"

Hearing this, Chu Ping couldn't help but feel shocked and dared not say another word!

Wang Tingxuan even shut his mouth obediently!

Looking at the quiet appearance of his two subordinates, Guo Zhao relaxed his tone and said, "Look at him, I will make sense for you. Huaiyin Prefecture is an important town in Jiangbei, a pit transportation hub, and a place of food and wages! It is of great significance and must not fall into the enemy!"

"Master Taiwan Master, the army is not strong enough and is not the opponent of the rebels!"

Chu Ping's face suddenly tightened and he said hurriedly!

"Yangzhi, I didn't say that you would lead your troops to attack and defeat the thief!"

Guo Zhao said seriously: "It's just that you can rely on the strong city defense of Huaiyin City to defend the city! Let the thief navy stop the troops under the city!"

As he spoke, Guo Zhao turned around and said seriously to Wang Tingxuan: "In order to defend the city and improve it, you and the civil servants in the city must take action, organize the strong men and assist the army in defending! You must keep the thief out of the city wall!"

"As for the order!"

When Wang Tingxuan heard Guo Zhao's order, she couldn't help but look tight and she complained secretly!

But sticking to the waiting for help is his suggestion, and then shirking it is obviously a disagreement. It is really hard to speak out!

Now I can only agree with the utmost!

"I will write a hand-written order to strictly order the surrounding prefectures to send troops to help!"

Guo Zhao continued: "The prefectures in Jiangbei have heavy troops stationed! Especially Xuzhou, Suzhou and Haizhou, all have seven or eight thousand troops, and they are well-trained and well-equipped!

When you concentrate, the total force can reach 80,000!"

Here Guo Zhao raised his head and his voice suddenly shook: "The land forces of the thief navy are only seven or eight thousand!

Once reinforcements arrive, the rebels will inevitably be surrounded! At that time, not only will Huaiyin City be able to defend, but it will be severely damaged by the rebels!"

"The National Taiwan Master is wise!"

Wang Tingxuan hurriedly praised: "In this way, the rebels will inevitably lose a big loss!"

"As long as you can defend Huaiyin City, it's fine!"

Guo Zhao was secretly proud, but still said with a serious expression!

"Master Taiwan Master, the thief is not only fierce in combat, but also cunning!"

Hearing this, Chu Ping couldn't help but feel anxious and said hurriedly: "I'm afraid I'll fall into the pocket of the thief. Not only will Huaiyin City be difficult to defend, but Jiangbei's heavy troops will also be severely damaged! The entire Jiangbei will be empty!"

"The rebels rushed over long distances, and can there be a small number of troops coming to set up an ambush?"

Guo Zhao said disapprovingly: "I think the rebels in the Zhongzhen Camp are just some of the bandits in Maolu Mountain. How capable can they have? I think of the plan to surround the site and attack the aid?"

"Master Taiwan Master, the thief is here, the navy!"

When Chu Ping heard this, he couldn't help but get anxious. He looked at Guo Zhao with an anxious look and advised: "The traitorous navy commander is Ding Chenggong! This man uses fierce and cunning soldiers and is full of tricks. Don't underestimate it!"

When Guo Zhao heard Ding Chenggong's name, he couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied and laughed coldly: "Ding Chenggong is just a small businessman!

Relying on doing business with Westerners, seeing some miracles and tricks, he just made some advanced firearms! He was a merchant and read several military books, and knew how to fight?"

"Taiwan Master..."

Chu Ping had to persuade him again, but Guo Zhao waved impatiently and said, "Chu Junmen, there is no need to say much. I have decided!"

Guo Zhao looked impatient, and Chu Ping couldn't help but sigh helplessly!

"You go back and rectify the troops immediately, concentrate your forces, and defend the city. You must keep the city under my control!"

Guo Zhao said with a serious face!

"Of course, although the Green Camp soldiers weigh 6,000, their equipment is too far from that of the thief!"

Chu Ping could no longer get rid of the fate of defending the city, so he could only try his best to get equipment for his troops!

He hurriedly said loudly: "Especially, the total number of artillery cannons is only 200, the large size of the artillery cannons are less than 100! Musketeers are less than 30%! Such troops and such equipment are really difficult to defend against the enemy!"

"The Caoyun Warehouse just sent a batch of red-clothed cannons cast by the capital, with a total of as many as 100! There are also more than 100 large-sized Folang machine!"

Guo Zhao said without hesitation: "These equipment was originally to be transported to Nanjing City. Now that the military situation is urgent, I will allocate it to you!"

"Thank you, Master Manufacturer!"

Chu Ping hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and continued: "There are also bird guns, gunpowder bullets, and artillery shells, which are all urgently needed to be supplemented!"

"All warehouses in Huaiyin City will be opened for you!"

Guo Zhao immediately made a decision: "As long as there is something in the warehouse, you can take it!"

"Thank you sir!"

Chu Ping couldn't help but get excited when she heard this!

"No need to thank me, as long as you can defend Huaiyin City before reinforcements arrive!"

Guo Zhao said with a serious look: "It's up to you that you should agree! The Chu army will quickly rectify the troops! The anti-traitor artillery is getting louder and louder!"

"As for the order!"

Chu Ping hurriedly agreed and said goodbye and left!

"Sir, Chu Ping is a man who is usually very diligent. Now that the thief army is approaching, why is he so cowardly?"

As soon as Chu Ping left, Wang Tingxuan whispered to Guo Zhao: "I just want to apply oil to my feet! The style of famous generals in the past has immediately run away without a trace!"
