A layer of cold sweat appeared on Lieutenant General Li's back.
A dozen steps away from him, a cannon fell from the air. If he had just walked faster, the cannon would have hit him.
"General, why don't you go take a look at the other city walls. There are yellow handles on the north wall, which will definitely withstand the siege of the bandits." A soldier who was following him persuaded Vice General Li to leave.
Hundreds of cannons outside the city continued to attack the top of the city. From time to time, cannons crossed the city wall and fell into the city.
Lieutenant General Li looked hesitant.
"General, we really can't go any further. The watchtowers and dens on the city wall can withstand the bombardment of the bandits. If anything happens to you, General, the entire Datong City will be in danger of falling." The soldier continued to persuade.
Several soldiers nearby looked at Lieutenant General Li, waiting for him to decide whether to go or return.
Not far ahead is the north gate and city wall of Datong City.
Wow!
Not far away from Lieutenant General Li and the others, the roof of a residential house was suddenly hit by a cannon. A large hole was instantly opened and countless dust was thrown up.
Vice General Li looked nervous.
The house that was hit by the artillery shells was less than fifty steps away from him, and from time to time artillery shells fell from the direction of the city head, both near and far away from him.
"Go to the north wall and tell General Huang that reinforcements will be sent to him soon. Let him hold on and guard the city gate." Vice General Li told a soldier beside him and turned his horse. Turn around and leave.
All the other soldiers followed and left together, leaving only the soldier who was named to stay and rushed to the north gate on horseback.
There were bursts of cannon fire, and cannonballs kept falling over the city wall into the city.
The soldier pressed his body against the horse's back, urging the horse beneath him to move quickly.
It was not far from the North City Gate, and we arrived at the city wall smoothly.
He turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to the stake, and ran quickly towards the horse track not far away.
As I walked quickly to the horse path, I found several soldiers from the Fubiao Battalion holding swords and guarding the foot of the horse path.
On the horse path not far from these soldiers, several corpses wearing linen clothes were lying, and the blood flowing from the corpses dripped onto the horse path.
The soldier only glanced at it and guessed that the people who died on the horse road were civilians who wanted to abandon the city and flee, so he stopped caring.
A man quickly passed by several soldiers guarding the horse road and ran towards the top of the city.
As soon as he climbed onto the city wall, he took a deep breath.
There were many corpses lying strewn across the city. Many corpses were smashed by cannons and became mutilated, with red, white and blue stains all over the floor.
Shaking his head vigorously, he recovered from the tragic situation in front of him.
Then he looked around and found that the bunkhouse and watchtower closest to him were crowded with people.
"Mr. Huang, who among you knows where Mr. Huang is?" he shouted to the peasants who were hiding under the pile of walls closest to him.
A farmer huddled under the wall stack pointed to a watchtower in the distance.
The soldier glanced at it, then hunched over and ran towards the watchtower.
As he ran, he shouted in disbelief: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang!"
Following his shouting, a head finally popped out of one of the watchtowers and shouted outside: "Who the hell called me?"
A cannonball fell from mid-air and hit a corpse not far from the watchtower, splattering countless flesh and blood.
The soldiers who were running in this direction were so frightened that they hurriedly hid under the wall and huddled together with the civilians.
At this time, he did not dare to go forward, for fear that the next cannonball would hit him, so he shouted to the man who was talking in the watchtower: "The general has gone to mobilize troops and will support you here soon. Order You must guard the northern city wall and never let the rebels attack the city wall."
"Go back and tell the general that I will defend the northern city wall to the death and never let the rebels climb the city wall." General Huang in the watchtower shouted to Vice General Li's soldiers.
"I'll go back and take care of myself right now, Mr. Huang, take care of yourself." The soldier clasped his fists in the direction of the watchtower, then lowered his body and ran towards the horse path in the lower city.
Just a few steps away from the wall, his head suddenly exploded, and red and white things flew everywhere.
"This is his damn fate." Huang Bao, who was in the watchtower, saw that Lieutenant General Li's soldier was hit in the head by a cannon. He sighed and at the same time retracted his head into the watchtower.
There were no weapons on the city wall that could threaten the cannons below the city, so he could only lead the defenders on the city to rely on the watchtower walls and dens for shelter.
Wait until the sound of artillery fire stops under the city and then come out.
he knows.
As long as the sound of cannons continues, the rioters will not be able to forcefully climb the city wall, unless the rioters outside the city are desperate and risk being shelled to seize the city wall.
The sound of cannons under the city continued.
Mr. Huang, who was hiding in the watchtower, leaned his back against the inner wall of the blue brick city, holding his sword in his arms.
"Head, something seems to be wrong. The bandits below the city are pushing over some bigger cannons." A soldier guarding the observation hole in the watchtower shouted.
"Get up, let me take a look." Mr. Huang pulled the other person away and put his eyes on the observation hole.
Through the observation holes, he saw several cannons that were clearly larger than the others.
"Who the hell are the bandits? Compared with these bandits in the city, I can't even compare to the bandits." Mr. Huang spat hard on the ground.
The total number of cannons in the entire Datong City was less than a fraction of the cannons of the bandits. The battle was so heart-warming for him.
As soon as the gunfire started ringing out, he could only hide with his men, without even the ability to fight back.
"Head, will the cannons brought by the bandits destroy the watchtowers and dens where the brothers are hiding?" the soldier who was guarding the observation hole said worriedly.
Mr. Huang Ba said: "Don't worry, the watchtowers where our brothers are hiding are made of blue bricks. They are strong and cannot be damaged by cannons."
"If you say this, I will rest assured." The soldier secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"What's the sound? Why is it so fucking loud?" Mr. Huang looked out of the observation hole nervously.
Only then did he realize that the larger cannons belonging to the bandits had been fired.
"Boss, are you really okay?" The soldier looked at Boss Huang worriedly.
The sound of the cannon just now was obviously more deafening than the previous cannon sound. Even if you were hiding in the watchtower on the top of the city, your ears were buzzing.
Mr. Huang Ba said: "What's the matter? The gangsters also opened fire just now. We're still fine. Even though they replaced the cannon with a bigger one, it didn't work. We in Datong City are not that easy to fight."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A cannon hit the watchtower where Mr. Huang and others were hiding, and everyone inside was shocked.
President Huang Ba breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the watchtower was fine, and said at the same time: "Damn you saw it! I said it's fine, it's fine. The cannons of the gangsters can't damage our watchtower in Datong City."
