Huang San was assigned to duty on the city wall today.
It was almost dawn, and this was the sleepiest time of the day. Huang San was sleepy, but he didn't dare to sleep.
In order to keep himself awake than others, he put a cocklebur in his shoe.
This is a prickly grass fruit that becomes very hard when it dries up.
Whenever he felt extremely sleepy, he would kick the sandbag with his feet and the pain would wake him up.
He clearly knows that if a person wants to get ahead and climb up, he must endure hardships that others cannot endure and achieve results that others cannot. Otherwise, why would the opportunity fall on your head.
He was just a refugee, without a home or a job, and no one would take care of him if he starved to death. He was hired as an exception because of his good health. He was already very content, and he didn't expect that there would be an opportunity to join the team for training.
When the regiment trained to replenish soldiers from the miners, they saw that half of the upper and lower battalions were dead within three days. Many workers who were previously envious of the good pay in group training have given up.
Huang San is not afraid. When he was persecuted by Mr. Huang and his family was destroyed, he was not afraid of anything. He always remembers the words he turned back to Grandpa Huang's mansion that night when he escaped, "I, Huang San, will be back soon."
He decisively signed up for group training. For someone like him who has no family, group training is not required. If not too many people died in the war, how could he get his turn.
His greatest advantage is his self-awareness.
Don’t you know how you joined the team for training? This is a stopgap measure under special circumstances.
Will soldiers who come here like this last long? Will they be dismissed when the crisis is over?
If I want to gain a foothold in group training and develop further, do I have to give an explanation to Mr. Yang?
Huang San cherishes the opportunity to be a soldier very much. Yesterday he killed a cavalry and two bandits and received a reward of twenty guan. He planned that since his whole family is almost dead, he will be the only ghost left. , when he settles down, he will marry a daughter-in-law and pass on the family line to his ancestors. This money is enough to marry a strong country girl.
At the same time, we must leave our family members to Mr. Yang so that Mr. Yang can rest assured.
Opportunity always favors those who are prepared.
Just as Huang San kicked the sandbag to clear his head, he heard a rustling sound. He popped his head up to observe suspiciously. It was pitch black outside and he couldn't see anything.
The darkness before dawn is the real darkness.
It's like a low point in life.
As soon as he retracted his head, there was a rustling sound again.
Huang San didn't know what the sound was, and he didn't dare to call the police. If he left a rough impression on his superiors, it would be difficult to change it in the future.
He knows very well that the biggest law in this world is the opinion of your superiors and others.
Once an opinion is formed, it is extremely difficult to change.
I finally came to a new world, and everything started from scratch. I would never dare to do anything like Meng Lang.
After thinking about it, Huang San gritted his teeth and took off his inner coat. His mother had made it for him. He suppressed the reluctance in his heart and said silently in his heart, "Mom, your spirit in heaven will bless your son," and then he spread this little coat flat on the ground. , wrap it with a stone, wrap it in several layers repeatedly, and sprinkle some gunpowder on each layer. Tie repeatedly with rope.
Carefully break the stick with a fire, light the corners, and throw it up to the sky with a rope.
He has been herding sheep since he was a child, and has become very skilled in throwing rocks with a rope.
It can be seen that if you know a little more skills, you will really be able to excel in art without stressing yourself.
This ball of clothing flew into the sky, and then burst into flames with a roar.
The gunpowder burned very quickly, emitting a dazzling light, and a very large area under the city was illuminated like daylight.
At this moment, Huang San saw groups of bandits carefully cutting wood piles with saws, and a large piece of barbed wire had been brought down.
In the distance, there was a tall carriage with Tatars standing on every floor, watching eagerly.
Behind them are military formations.
Huang San suddenly felt an imminent crisis and hurriedly shrank his head as an eagle-feather arrow flew past his scalp.
Huang Sanyi rolled to the ground, grabbed the gong, and banged it. In the quiet night, the huge sound of the gong suddenly filled the whole place.
Yang Fan jumped up and shouted: "Light a fire and throw the torch out."
If the gong is sounded at this time, the enemy must be coming.
Everyone woke up, the sound of gongs was heard everywhere, a large number of torches flew to the city in an arc, and the entire city was suddenly exposed to the flickering light of the fire.
Yang Fan looked outside and gasped. He understood immediately that the city wall could no longer be defended. Ten construction trucks have arrived at the edge of the moat, and ten trench-filling trucks have erected tall wooden boards. Be ready to put it down on the city trench at any time, and then push the cart over, so that the enemy can go directly to the city wall.
"Light the smoke, hurry up!" Yang Fan had to send a signal to the two battalions lurking behind the enemy's rear, asking Zhang Gada to attack the enemy's rear. However, Zhang Gada was ten miles away, so I'm afraid the water from far away could not quench his thirst.
"Send the gunpowder bag, quickly, throw down the gunpowder bag." Yang Fan shouted.
Everyone was exhausted yesterday and slept soundly. There were only two hundred people on the city wall. It was originally thought that after the enemy was defeated, he would rest for two days before continuing the attack. Unexpectedly, they were waiting for this opportunity on purpose.
Groups of regiment training and guard soldiers ran towards the city wall.
When Huang San heard Master Yang's order, he immediately appeared in front of Master Yang and shouted, "Huang San obeys the order!"
As he spoke, he used a sling to hold a gunpowder bag, lit it, and flicked it away.
The gunpowder bag drew an arc and landed accurately on the third floor of a building. Just like when he was at home tending sheep, he used stones and slings to drive the sheep away, hitting them wherever he pointed.
boom! A violent explosion sounded on the building car. The person directing this carriage was none other than Niu Lu Ezhen. More than twenty Tatars were blown away. The entire car was burned into a torch under the high temperature of the explosion.
This suddenly illuminated the entire battlefield.
"Okay, great job, what's your name?" Yang Fan excitedly patted Huang San on the shoulder.
"Master, the younger one's name is Huang San." He didn't call me sir, on purpose.
He understands that if you want to get ahead, you must not act stupidly, but you must be capable and able to speak. Otherwise, if you work for ten years, you may not be able to say a word in front of the boss.
"Okay, you will be my servant from today on." Yang Fan looked at Huang San with admiration. This guy was not only capable, but also smart and good at talking. He might as well give him a chance. Opportunities must be given to those who cherish them.
Huang San was trembling with excitement. Opportunities in life often come unexpectedly, but this flash of light is often the result of countless efforts in the darkness.
"Huang San is willing to go through fire and water for the master." Huang San bowed his head. He had been waiting for this day for too long.
"Donkey Dan, Huang San will follow you from now on," Yang Fan said to Donkey Dan who just ran up.
"Here, sir"
"Give me the order, prepare for street fighting, and handle it according to the previous plan."
"Here!"
"However, we can't give them such an advantage. Is my advantage so easy to take advantage of? If you want to take over the city wall, you have to pay for it with human life."
At this time, the bandits and slaves under the city had already broken down. Since the sneak attack failed, let's attack openly. Anyway, the arrow was ready.
At this time, Abdul Bayan gently waved his hand.
The ten bronze cannons covered with tarpaulins in front of him had their cannon coats removed.
The cyan bronze cannon clearly bears the inscriptions from the time of casting.
It was built under the supervision of Xuanfu Town in the fifteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.
