"Bangladeshi soldiers appeared on the road leading to Noakali City!" Zhu Daizhen, who had not yet left the tent, immediately shouted in surprise after hearing Pu Bing's words.
"Zhu Biaotong, it is indeed the case, and there are at least three thousand Bangladeshi soldiers, which is a lot of people." Pu Bing said again.
Zhang Fu had calmed down and was about to ask a few more questions when suddenly two more soldiers ran into the tent panting. After taking a breath, they immediately said: "General, Bangladeshi soldiers were discovered outside the west city/Bangladesh soldiers were discovered outside the east city.
!”
"This," Zhu Daizhen was even more surprised. But Zhang Fu immediately figured out what the Bengalis were thinking and said with a sneer: "It turns out that the Shah has such a big appetite and wants to swallow more than 10,000 of us in one bite!"
"Left Prime Minister, you said that the purpose of the Bangladesh monarch is to eliminate more than 10,000 people in Majedi City!" Zhu Daizhen shouted in surprise. Zhang Fu and Wen dared to call Shah by his name, but Zhu Daizhen did not dare, even if he
Even the monarchs of other countries did not dare to do so, so they were called the monarchs of Bangladesh.
"Isn't this obvious?" Zhang Fu continued to sneer: "Bangladeshi soldiers are found on the south, east, and west sides. There are Bangladeshi military camps in the north. The entire city is surrounded on all sides. How can we still not see the Shah's purpose?
.However, he is not afraid that he will not be able to swallow the city, but will have his teeth broken!"
"Prime Minister Zuo, what should we do now? Withdraw troops from Magedi City immediately?" Zhu Daizhen said slightly panicked. He had indeed fought several battles, but each time he was in a situation where the Ming army was at an advantage and had no experience.
After this situation, I felt a little panicked for a while.
"Why panic!" Zhang Fu said loudly first, allowing Zhu Daizhen and the three soldiers who were also panicked to calm down, and then ordered: "Send out all the cavalry immediately, and let them go out as quickly as possible to Noakali City.
This letter tells His Highness that Majedi City has been besieged by Bangladeshi soldiers and cannot be evacuated."
"But you must tell His Highness that you must not bring troops to rescue immediately! Since the Shah thinks that he can capture Majedi, he will send no less troops. Counting the troops to block reinforcements, there will not be less than 50,000 troops. There are four in the city
There is a chance of being invincible if the fortified city is marked as defensible, but the four marked camps that came from Noakhali City to rescue may be attacked by the Bengalis before they are set up. If the Shah had left a stronghold on all sides of Majedi City
A few soldiers and horses are blocking the way, and the main force is besieging the reinforcements. The reinforcements will not be able to win! For the sake of His Highness, the plan of the Ming Dynasty, and the plan of tens of thousands of soldiers, Your Highness must not lead troops to rescue!"
"That's all, let's write a letter to His Highness, but when you go to deliver the order, you must advise His Highness not to send troops for rescue until the follow-up troops arrive!" Zhang Fu said again.
"Yes, General." One of the soldiers came to his senses at this time, agreed, turned around and left the house.
After that, Zhang Fu ordered to call the three Biaotong and four Guandai except Zhu Daizhen, and began to arrange the defense of the city. But the first order surprised them. "I ordered the four walls to leave only one thousand for the time being."
The rest of the soldiers were divided into five thousand households to prepare the equipment needed to defend the city, and the remaining soldiers all rested."
"Prime Minister Zuo, why is this so? The enemy is already approaching. Why don't you let the soldiers prepare to meet the enemy? And there is only one thousand-household household at the top of the city, which is slightly less than that." A Biaotong asked. Their one thousand-household household only has five hundred-household households.
, with more than five hundred people, it is indeed a bit small to defend a city wall.
"Although Majedi has been surrounded on all sides, the Bangladeshi soldiers should not have all arrived. Otherwise, they would have started to attack the city when they discovered that our army was aware of it. Since they did not attack the city immediately, it is enough to prove that the Shah mobilized to attack the city.
The city's soldiers have not yet all arrived, and he or the commander he appointed may not have arrived outside the city. In this way, our army does not need to place too many soldiers at the top of the city for the time being, one thousand households is enough."
"Secondly, hurry up and let the soldiers rest because if they don't rest now, they won't have time to have a good rest in the next few days." Zhang Fu said. The Bengalis knew that they could not delay and would do their best once they started to attack the city. His men
It is absolutely impossible for the soldiers to have enough time to rest.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Zhang Fu continued to give instructions: "Call the person with the highest status among the people who believe in Brahmanism in the city. I want to discuss with him again, and I must make him willing to organize the Brahmans in the city to assist."
Our army is resisting the soldiers of Bangladesh." Zhang Fu has already met the only Kshatriya in this city. Although their Brahmans are oppressed in Bangladesh, he is still unwilling to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty when the situation is unclear. The national power of the Ming Dynasty
Of course, it is far better than Bangladesh, but it is hard to say how many troops the Ming Dynasty is willing to send to destroy Bangladesh. Anyway, this Kshatriya does not believe what Zhang Fu said that the Ming Dynasty will not hesitate to fight at any cost. What if the Ming Dynasty has fought a few battles and feels that it is uneconomical to continue fighting and retreats
What? So he was unwilling to defect to the Ming Dynasty early.
Zhang Fu didn't say much at that time, but now the situation is critical. If this Kshatriya is still ignorant, he can only use the last resort.
"First demolish all the houses in the north of the city, and use the wood and stones obtained as tools to defend the city. If anyone protests, ignore it; if anyone dares to stop them, all of them, as long as they are not Kshatriya or Vaishya castes, will be taken to the city to work; if these two
If you are a caste, tell me the truth and let me deal with it."
"..."
"Zhu Daizhen, Sun Bingwen, Zhao Ji, and Cao Yu, the four of you are each responsible for a city wall. Zhu Daizhen guards the north wall, Sun Bingwen guards the west wall, Zhao Ji guards the east wall, and Cao Yu guards the south wall. But the four of you each have to allocate a thousand
They were handed over to the Prime Minister as the final reserve team." Zhang Fu appointed them to guard one wall each.
"Yes, Prime Minister Zuo." The four ministers agreed one after another.
"This battle is the Ming Dynasty's real first battle in Bengal. If we fail, not only will our wealth and lives be at risk, but our relatives back home will also be implicated because of our defeat. Therefore, this battle can only be won but not defeated! How do you defend the city?
The truth is that I won’t take too much care, but I must hold on. If whoever defends is captured by the Bangladeshi soldiers first, before the Bengalis kill me, I will definitely kill the person who lost the city!" Zhang Fu said sharply again
.
"Even if my subordinates die in battle, we will never let the city be captured by Bangladeshi soldiers!" the four people said loudly again.
"Okay, you guys, please step back." Zhang Fu nodded and gave a few more instructions for them to step back.
At this time, the Kshatriya he wanted to see had not yet arrived. Zhang Fu walked to the window and opened it, looking at the eastern sky. He remembered what Yun had said to him before leaving the capital, and whispered: "We must successfully defend it. I
I also want to fulfill His Majesty’s expectations and make the Duke the Governor-General.”
