Hu Wanrong was not the only one who thought so, everyone else understood it when they saw Jin Mao standing on the city wall.
Everyone went to sea together, why can you stand on the city wall properly?
You neither fought to the last moment nor escaped with everyone. You didn't even hear the order from the main ship from the beginning to the end.
It doesn't matter whether it's to advance or retreat, or to block harassment.
If they hadn't felt something was wrong halfway through the killing, everyone would have stayed there.
To be honest, losing was already embarrassing. At this moment, he even abandoned the ship and went ashore, trampling on the remaining dignity.
Many people have figured out the key points, but all of them dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Jin Mao also felt guilty, so he didn't dare to say anything. When someone opened the door, he was so angry that he could only vent his anger on others, such as Park Cheng Ha.
Someone must bear this defeat with him, otherwise it will be over.
At this moment, Pu Chenghe came over drunkenly with thousands of households under his command, "Old Jin, what's going on? I just drank wine, how come I was attacked by the enemy?
By the way, you didn't lead your troops out to fight, so why are you back? "
Jin Mao was furious. He had just escaped from death. This was a good thing. He was unhurried and unhurried. Instead, he had a look of displeasure on his face, as if he had delayed his good deeds by calling him over.
"How do I know about the enemy's surprise attack? Am I capable of divination?" Jin Mao gritted his teeth and said, "The enemy is very ferocious. Their number is probably no less than 60,000, and they attacked suddenly. We were in a hurry to attack, and we are missing you, the deputy ten thousand households." , I was lucky to have saved my life and came back to defend the city.
Don't say that you are not good enough, brother, you are responsible for this battle. If we cannot defend the city, we will all be in misfortune! "
Park Chenghe trembled all over and woke up a lot. "How many people? No less than 60,000? Are you sure?"
"The lights are dim, the other side is dark, the boats are blocking the sky, there are boats everywhere, not to mention 60,000, there are probably 100,000!" Jin Mao knows very well that if he wants to lighten his crime, he must exaggerate. , increase the number of enemies, the more, the better.
The other party's 100,000 hits you with 20,000. It's normal to lose.
If 10,000 people beat 20,000 of you and lose, it is a serious sin and no matter how you wash it off, it will be useless.
He said in his heart: "Besides, I'm not exaggerating. Who knows how many people there are when it gets dark. If I say one hundred thousand, that's one hundred thousand people."
"One hundred thousand people, doesn't that mean Daye's navy has been dispatched in full force?" Pu Chenghe was anxious, "How can we hold on with just a few people like us?"
"You have to keep it even if you can't. Do you have any other options?"
"Go get help!"
Jin Mao sneered, "This place is more than two hundred miles away from Fuzhou, and it takes at least two days to go back and forth.
And the other party may not come back yet, which means there is no point in holding on! "
Pu Chenghe's pupils shrank slightly and he said in a suppressed voice: "Then let's abandon the city and flee. There are so many people on the other side, so it's natural that we can't defend it."
Jin Mao knew that Park Chenghe was a fool, and he didn't know how he was valued by Park Buhua.
"Where to run away, these soldiers and people are all gone?"
"What I mean is that if we escape with the soldiers, the other party will definitely not kill the people. We have people in our hands. If we are held accountable in the future, we will have a reason." Park Chengha just wants to escape from here now, with his godfather here. In the palace, I will definitely be fine, there is no point in staying here.
Once someone from Daye knows his identity, he will definitely be killed.
"Lao Jin, if you believe in me, I will definitely be able to protect you." Park Chenghe took his hand and said eagerly: "As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about having no firewood!"
Jin Mao found it difficult to do the same thing, "Isn't this bad!"
"Anyway, you lost the battle just now. I heard that only half of the people came back, so the other half must be in trouble." Pu Chenghe said: "You are guilty of a big crime. Of course I am guilty too. Since they are all guilty, then Why not make the crime less severe?
The number of enemies many times greater than ours is not our fault.
The top priority is to preserve our strength, inform others, and let the court know the situation here as soon as possible.
In this way, not only do we have no fault, but we have merit, don’t you think? "
Jin Mao took a deep breath, "That's all it can do!"
Although he looked reluctant, he was actually very excited. The opponent had such a powerful weapon. Who knew whether the opponent would use it to attack the city.
At this time, his courage was scared out of his mind. He didn't want to defend the city at all, and he couldn't commit the crime of "sacrifice for the country." He was even thinking that if Daye really launched a general attack on Beiyuan, he would change his name back and lead the way. Use merit in exchange for your future.
Everyone knows that Beiyuan has declined.
A good bird chooses a tree to roost on, so why doesn't he... strike first to gain the upper hand?
He looked at Park Sung Ha, who was full of joy, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes."
"However, it's not enough for us to just escape. We might as well coerce the entire city to leave. These people, old and young, will definitely not be able to leave quickly.
By then we will be able to hold off the enemy and buy us more time. "Park Chengha may not have much ability, but when it comes to his own life, he cannot help but be cautious.
Jin Mao thought for a while, "Okay!"
He originally wanted to take action now, but Daye's side has not yet fully demonstrated its strength, and this area is an enclave, and the cost of defeating it and holding it will be high.
Just bear with it a little longer.
"Quickly, have someone open the city gate, gather all the troops, and tell the outside world that the people who have just come in are mixed with enemy troops!" Jin Mao took a deep breath and said, "Have someone tell the people to flee."
Then, he lowered his voice and said to Pu Chenghe: "Send your henchmen to kill people and set fires in the city to create an illusion. In this way, if the court pursues the case in the future, we will have an explanation.
What does Brother Park think? "
"Yes, Lao Jin, you have thought carefully!" Pu Chenghe smiled and nodded, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Soon, the city was ablaze, and many people fled from their homes.
Then the city gate opened wide, and the cavalry, infantry, and navy in Jinzhou City all left the city one after another.
"Escape quickly. Enemy troops have sneaked into the city. If you don't escape, it will be too late!"
I don't know who shouted, and panic filled the crowd.
The prefect of Jinzhou was frightened all night. When he learned that the enemy troops had mixed into the crowd and broke open the city gate, he was so frightened that he hurriedly got off the city wall. He wanted to escape, or he would die if he didn't escape.
His mind was full of confusion now. There were obviously so many people on his side, so why were they attacked from within by the enemy?
However, he could no longer think about it at this time. Escape was the most important thing.
He anxiously took off his official uniform and called a few close government officials, "Quick, the city is broken, let's run away!"
