Duosang got up from the ground.
However, before he left, I heard Ye Bilong continue to say: "After bringing all the cannons here, you will stay at Guang'en Gate to help defend the city. If something happens to Guang'en Gate, you'd better die fighting, otherwise you can escape." I will kill you with my own hands when you come back."
"The final general will definitely guard the Guang'en Gate for the leader." Duosang responded with his head lowered.
"Go!" Yi Bilong waved his hand.
Duosang took two steps back and then followed the horse path down the city wall.
"Dosang will bring the cannons here in a while. You are responsible for arranging them. With so many cannons, if Guang'en Gate is lost in your hands, you, like Duosang, had better be glad that you died in Guang'en Gate." Bilong said something to the guard of Guang'en Gate, turned around and got off the horse track.
There are more than a dozen cannons in Gaizhou City. In addition to the original cannons at Guangenmen, there are as many as ten cannons that need to be transported from other city gates.
Each one is very heavy and heavy, and the cannons in Gaizhou City use old Ming army gun mounts, making them very inconvenient to transport.
Duosang led his men and used a lot of horses and animals until light appeared in the eastern sky, and then he finally transported the last cannon to the top of Guang'enmen.
After getting these cannons, Duosang was so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger and lay flat on the city wall with his limbs spread wide.
"Zuoling, let's have something to eat!" The guard of Guang'en Gate was holding a bowl filled with soup and porridge.
Duosang rolled his eyes and said weakly: "I don't want to eat anymore. Let me rest for a while."
One night, he went to attack the camp and helped transport the cannon from other city gates to Guang'en Gate. He was already exhausted. At this time, he wished that he was the one who died in the Tiger Flag camp.
"It's better to eat something. Once the tiger thief and the tiger thief attack the city, I don't know when I will want to eat again." The guard of Guang'en Gate advised.
After hearing this, Duosang leaned back against the female wall and tried to stand up. At the same time, he said, "Did the tiger thief attack?"
"Not yet, but you still have to eat when you have to. You can rest after eating." Guang'en Gatekeeper handed the bowl forward.
The identity of the other Manchu was not comparable to that of a Han general like him, and he did not want to offend the Eight Banners leader because of a trivial matter.
"Give it to me!" Duosang reached out and took the porridge bowl handed over by the guard of Guang'en Gate.
Although his body was very tired, he knew that what the other party said was right, he could not kill the enemy without strength.
Different from the porridge that ordinary soldiers drink, the porridge in Duosang Bowl is a scooped-out porridge base, which is relatively thick.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, Duosang felt warm in his stomach, but his body still didn't want to move, so he returned the porridge bowl directly to the guard of Guang'en Gate and asked at the same time: "Aren't there any pancakes?"
"The bowl of porridge is indeed a little short, but there is not much porridge delivered to Guang'en Gate. Zuoling will be patient for the time being." Seeing Duosang's unfinished expression, the guard of Guang'en Gate explained.
The guards at Guang'en Gate were all Han soldiers. They were different from the Eight Banners soldiers in the city, and their food was worse.
In the past, before Gaizhou City was besieged, the situation was better. Now that Gaizhou City is under siege, they can only consume the food and grass in the city every day. The Han soldiers in the city had reduced their rations a day ago.
"Forget it, that's it!" Duosang leaned against the female wall and closed his eyes to rest.
Upon seeing this, the guard of Guang'en Gate said nothing more, picked up the porridge bowl and left Duosang.
The morning sun fell on the top of the city, making the body feel very comfortable. Duosang fell asleep unknowingly under the caress of the morning sun.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he was in a daze when he heard a sound of thunder, accompanied by rain falling on his cheek.
He wiped the dripping raindrops on his face with his hand, put it in front of his eyes, and slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw the raindrops on his fingertips, he suddenly woke up.
This is not rain, but blood.
The thunder is not really thunder, but the sound of cannons,
The Tiger Character Banner is attacking the city!
The first reaction in Duosang's mind was that the tiger-shaped flag was attacking the city, and he jumped up from the ground, hunched over and rushed behind the crenellation on the opposite side.
Through the crenels, he looked outside the city.
hiss!
He only glanced at the outside of the city and immediately took a breath.
There are densely packed cannons in the direction outside the city. Even without counting them, you can see that there are no less than a hundred cannons outside the city.
He began to doubt in his heart whether Gaizhou City could really hold on until reinforcements from Shengjing arrived.
"Zuoling, the guard of Guang'en Gate is looking for you!" A Han soldier ran to Duosang's side and brought a message to Duosang.
Duosang glanced at the Han soldiers who were delivering the message and asked, "Where are you, Mr. Qian?"
The Han soldiers pointed with their fingers in the direction they were coming from behind.
Duosang looked over.
There were guards running back and forth on the city wall, and cannonballs were falling from mid-air.
Not all of these cannonballs fell on the city wall, many of them crossed the city wall and fell into the city, and many of the cannonballs hit the outer wall of the city wall, breaking many bricks on the surface of the outer wall.
The city wall was so crowded that Duosang couldn't even see Mr. Qian at Guang'en Gate.
"Take me there." Duosang said to the Han soldiers in front of him.
The Han soldier bent down and trotted forward behind the female wall, and Duosang did the same.
Although hiding behind the female wall cannot completely avoid the cannons, with the obstruction of the female wall, most of the cannons can be avoided, which is safer than hiding in other parts of the city wall.
After running about two to three hundred steps, Duosang saw the guard of Guang'en Gate.
The other person, like him before, was squatting behind the female wall to avoid the cannons fired from outside the city.
"Mr. Qian, Dosanzo is here."
The Han soldiers walking in front rushed to the guard of Guang'en Gate in two or three steps.
When Guang'en Gatekeeper saw Duosang, he hurriedly pulled Duosang to his side and squatted down, saying, "Zuoling, there is something I hope Zuoling can help with?"
"What's the matter?" Dosang asked.
The other party came to him and made such a solemn request. Even if he didn't know what it was, he could already predict that it was definitely not a trivial matter.
The guard of Guang'en Gate hesitated for a moment, then asked: "I wonder if Zuoling noticed the cannons fired by the tiger thieves outside the city?"
Dosang nodded.
With so many cannons outside the city, it was difficult for him not to notice them.
The guard of Guang'en Gate continued: "The tiger thieves have too many cannons. If the tiger thieves continue to bombard them like this, Guang'en Gate will not be able to hold on for long. The general hopes that Zuo Ling can lead people out of the city to destroy the tiger thieves' cannons."
boom!
Duosang raised his hand and punched the guard of Guang'en Gate in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"You bitch, you actually want to harm your Grandpa Baqi. I'll kill you right now." As he said that, Duosang pulled out his knife.
"Zuoling, listen to what I have to say." Guangen's gatekeeper hurriedly spoke to stop him, and he sat down on the ground and kicked back a few steps with his two legs to increase the distance between him and Duosang.
