Yi Bilong frowned.
The news the other party said seemed to him to be the worst news possible.
"Leader, this bitch didn't protect those cannons well. If it weren't for the fact that he insisted on concentrating all the cannons at Guang'en Gate, he wouldn't have given the tiger thieves a chance to destroy all our cannons." Dosang pointed with his finger. The guard of Guang'en Gate kept barking like a dog.
Ye Bilong was also dissatisfied with the concentration of cannons at Guang'en Gate.
If it hadn't been for the concentration of cannons in Gaizhou City, they wouldn't all have been destroyed by the Tiger Flag's cannons, resulting in not even a single cannon left in Gaizhou City.
"The general is guilty, please punish him."
Faced with Duosang's accusation, Guang'en gatekeeper knelt directly in front of Ye Bilong.
Ye Bilong looked at the guard of Guang'en Gate who was kneeling on the ground.
He wanted to punish someone, but he knew better that this was not the time to punish anyone. Even if he wanted to punish someone, he would have to wait until the invading tiger-character banner army was repulsed and Gaizhou City was defended before settling the matter.
"Get up first. Now that we don't know who to punish, the top priority is how to fight back against the tiger thieves. Otherwise, if we continue to let the tiger thieves bombard us without any scruples, Guang'en Gate will fall sooner or later." Ye Bilong ordered the guard of Guang'en Gate to general He was helped up from the ground.
Duosang on the side said: "The general has a way, it may be useful."
"What can we do? Say it quickly!" Ye Bilong looked at Duosang.
Duosang said: "The general believes that if we want to defend Guang'en Gate, we cannot allow the tiger thieves to continue bombarding them unscrupulously, so the general thinks that we should send a troop of troops out of the city to destroy the tiger thieves' cannons. Without the cannons, , the tiger thieves will no longer be able to bombard Guang'en Gate without any harm."
"If you succeed in attacking the camp tonight, there is no need to eat cannonballs here today." Yi Bilong glared at Duosang and was not very optimistic about his method.
The sneak attack had not been successful. It was impossible for the Tiger Flag not to protect its own artillery during the day. He did not think that a frontal attack could destroy all the Tiger Flag's guns outside the city.
There was a hint of embarrassment on Duosang's face.
Ye Bilong no longer looked at him, but asked the guard of Guang'en Gate, "You are the guard here at Guang'en Gate. Is there any way you can fight back against the tiger thieves outside the city? At least you can't let the tiger thieves continue. Such unscrupulous firing.”
After hearing this, the guard of Guang'en Gate thought for a while and said: "There are not no ways to fight back. Although the cannons on the city wall were destroyed by the tiger thieves, most of them can still be used. We only need to buy a new gun mount." That's enough, but we have too few cannons. Even if we build the cannon mounts, we won't be able to hold on for long, and they will still be destroyed by the tiger thieves with cannons."
"Is there any other way?" Ye Bilong felt that although this method was somewhat useful, it was not very effective.
The guard of Guang'en Gate added: "Another way is to build some catapults and repair some destroyed gun mounts at the same time. In this way, there will be more weapons available. However, it is more troublesome to build catapults and the range is also limited. It is not as good as Bronze cannons have a long range.”
"Do you know who can build a catapult?" Ye Bilong asked the guard of Guang'en Gate.
The guard of Guang'en Gate shook his head and said immediately: "You can ask the craftsmen in the city to try. Maybe they can build it, but the range of the catapult is difficult to solve."
"I'll think of a solution for the catapult, but you also said that the range of the catapult is not enough. The most important thing is whether the tiger thief will give us so much time to build the catapult." Yi Bilong frowned. Together.
In his opinion, the catapult was the last resort.
The guard of Guang'en Gate said: "In fact, the proposal proposed by Dosanzo is the most suitable for the current situation in the eyes of the general. It's just that the manpower leaving the city is best to be cavalry. The cavalry is fast and has a chance to catch the tiger thieves off guard."
"Allow me to think about it again." Ye Bilong neither agreed nor refused.
But in his heart he was not willing to dispatch the cavalry from Gaizhou City.
Because the cavalry in Gaizhou City was his last trump card, even if Gaizhou City fell, he would still have the opportunity to escape to Haizhou with the help of the cavalry in Gaizhou City.
He was unwilling to use the cavalry's trump card until the last moment.
The guard of Guang'en Gate continued: "Instead of using cavalry, you can also send an infantry out of the city to attack the cannons of the tiger thieves outside the city. Even if the hope of success is smaller, it is not without any chance of success. Even if it fails, As long as it can be delayed for a little longer, it will still be beneficial to Gaizhou City. Whether it is Haizhou City or Shengjing, knowing the situation here in Gaizhou, they will definitely send reinforcements. As long as the reinforcements arrive, the siege of Gaizhou can naturally be solved. "
"The news of the request for help was sent out before Gaizhou City was besieged. Calculating the time, Shengjing should have received the letter, but I don't know when Long Live Lord's reinforcements will arrive." He looked towards the west where Sheng Jing was.
According to time calculation, he knew that the reinforcements from Haizhou should have arrived long ago, but he still couldn't see the reinforcements sent from Haizhou. He could only pin his hopes on Shengjing.
The guard of Guang'en Gate said: "Since the news asking for help has been sent out, we only need to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. At present, the tiger thieves rely on those cannons to carry out their crimes. We can find a way to destroy those cannons to delay the arrival of more troops. More time to wait for reinforcements.”
"Duosang!" Ye Bilong looked at Duosang who was standing aside.
"The end will be here."
Duosang bowed and clasped his fists in front of Ye Bilong.
Ye Bilong said: "You and Aduoyan failed to attack the camp at night. You should have been punished, but since you have made many military exploits for the Qing Dynasty, I allow you to take the blame for your meritorious service. As long as you go out of the city and destroy the tiger thieves outside the city." If even part of the cannon is destroyed, you will no longer be held accountable for the crimes you committed before."
"Final General!" Duosang hesitated.
Going out of the city at this time seemed to him like a narrow escape, and from the bottom of his heart he was unwilling to go out of the city, let alone take on an errand out of the city.
"What? You don't want to?" Ye Bilong's voice turned cold.
Duosang lowered his head and said, "The general will not dare."
"Since you don't dare, the task of destroying the Tiger Bandits' cannons outside the city will be left to you." Yi Bilong directly made the decision to let Duosang go out of the city to destroy the Tiger Banner's cannons outside the city.
"嗻!"
Duosang bit the bullet and agreed.
No matter how reluctant he was, he knew that he had no choice but to leave the city.
Thinking of this, he glared at the guard of Guang'en Gate fiercely.
If the other party hadn't given him this idea, he wouldn't have ventured out of the city.
But he has forgotten that the first person to propose in front of Ye Bilong was himself.
One after another, like flying raindrops, the cannons continued to fall towards Guang'en Gate. No one could guarantee how long Guang'en Gate could last under such bombardment.
