Duosang, who needed to go out of the city to fight, personally summoned his troops.
As an assistant leader, he has a team of more than 200 people under his command.
Although he suffered a lot of losses when he attacked the camp at night, in order to compensate him, Ye Bilong handed over to him all the Eight Banners soldiers Aduoyan brought back from Xiongyueyi.
After increasing and decreasing, the number of troops under his command was only much larger than before the attack on the camp.
Looking at his subordinates who were gathering from the surroundings, Duosang's face was clouded and there was no trace of joy at all.
In his opinion, going out of the city this time was more dangerous than the time he went to attack the camp at night.
When attacking the camp at night, there is still darkness as a cover, but this time there is no cover. He can only use his life to pile up. He doesn't know how many of the hundreds of people under his command will be left. Even he himself doesn't know if he can come back alive. .
A white-armored guard next to Ye Bilong came to Duosang.
"Leader Dosan, the assistant leader has urged you again. When can you leave the city?"
Although the status of the white-armored soldiers in the Eight Banners Army is not as good as that of Bagala, it is not something that anyone can become if they want to. Their status in the Eight Banners Army is quite high.
"Please also ask Brother Nangbu Tai to give instructions to the leader. The general will leave the city after ordering all the troops and horses. This will not delay the leader's affairs." Duosang behaved very politely in front of the white-armored soldier.
The other party was Yi Bilong, the personal guard next to the assistant leader, and he was in white armor. As an assistant leader, he could only be careful to please.
The white-armored soldier looked at Duosang and said, "Leader Zuo should hurry up and take all the troops out of the city. Leader Liang is already very dissatisfied."
"Please rest assured, leader, that within a quarter of an hour at most, the last general will lead his troops out of the city and seize the cannon from the tiger thief outside the city for the leader," Duosang assured.
The white-armored soldier said: "I'll go back and report back soon. Leaders, hurry up and get ready!"
After saying that, he returned to Ye Bilong without looking back.
Duosang watched the white-armored soldier walk away before he looked back and grabbed his bare forehead twice with his right hand, his face full of helplessness.
The white-armored soldiers who came back from Duosang returned to Ye Bilong.
"Assistant leader, Dosanzuo leader promised to leave the city in a quarter of an hour." The returning white-armored soldier reported back.
Ye Bilong nodded and said, "Let's go up to the city wall."
"No! General." The guard of Guang'en Gate on the side hurriedly spoke to stop him. "It's too dangerous on the city. The general should go back to the general's mansion to take charge. If anything happens at Guang'en Gate, the general will send someone to the general immediately. There."
Ye Bilong shook his head and said: "Duosang will leave the city soon. I won't worry if he doesn't see it with his own eyes. You can lead the way and accompany me to the top of the city."
"The tiger thieves have been bombarding Guang'en Gate. The city wall is too dangerous. Please ask the general to return to the general's mansion to take charge." The guard of Guang'en Gate bowed and stopped in front of Ye Bilong.
Ye Bilong looked at the guard of Guang'en Gate who was standing in front of him and said: "Whether Guang'en Gate can be defended depends on whether Gaizhou City can be defended. Now that Guang'en Gate is crumbling, do you think I can stay with the general with peace of mind?" Mansion? Let’s open it!”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull away the guard of Guang'en Gate who was blocking the way, and stepped towards the horse path.
Seeing that he could not stop him, the guard of Guang'en Gate could only accompany him with fear, and climbed the city wall with Ye Bilong.
Perhaps because of luck, they were not bombarded until they reached the top of the city.
Ye Bilong went up to the city wall to investigate the battle situation, not to seek death. Therefore, after climbing onto the city wall, he made sure that he could observe the situation outside the city at any time, so he hid behind a higher female wall.
In order to avoid being noticed by the Tiger Flag gunners outside the city, he tried not to show his face through the gap between the crenels, and even took off the helmet on his head.
"Remember to tell me when Duosangduo leaves the city." Ye Bilong told the guard of Guang'en Gate, and then he leaned against the female wall and stopped talking.
Leaning on the back of the female wall, he felt numb vibrations from time to time. He knew that this was caused by the cannon hitting the outer city wall.
As the shocks were felt one after another, Ye Bilong's face became more and more gloomy.
He didn't know how long the city wall here at Guang'enmen could endure such frequent shelling in Tiger Character Banner, but he knew that once the city wall was collapsed by artillery, Gaizhou City would probably fall.
Looking at the panic-stricken Qing soldiers on the city wall, he didn't know when the war between the Qing and the Han began and the Qing could only defend the city.
In his memory, a few years ago he and his family elders surrounded and killed the Ming army on the battlefield, but the Ming army could only hide in the city and did not dare to leave the city.
In just over a year, the Qing Dynasty's opponent changed from the Ming Dynasty to the Tiger Flag, but the Qing army's opponent was still the Han army, but the results were very different.
In the past, the Qing army besieged the Han city, and the Han army could only huddle in the city. Now it has become the Han army besieging the city guarded by the Qing army, and the Qing army did not dare to leave the city.
"General, Dosanzo is leading them out of the city." The guard of Guang'en Gate came to Ye Bilong and said.
After hearing this, Ye Bilong turned over and moved to the crenel, revealing one eye and looking in the direction outside the city opposite Guang'en Gate.
From his position, he could clearly see the cannons of the Tiger Flag outside the city.
"I hope Duosang will not disappoint me this time." Ye Bilong muttered softly.
Although the sound was not loud, it was still heard by the guard of Guangen Gate on the side.
"Don't worry, general, Dosanzo leader will definitely be able to destroy the tiger bandit's cannon this time." The guard of Guang'en Gate comforted Ye Bilong beside him.
Even though he himself was not optimistic about Duosang's actions this time, it did not prevent him from saying some reassuring words in front of Ye Bilong.
"I hope so!" Ye Bilong himself had no confidence.
The sneak attacks at night were unsuccessful, and he was even less optimistic during the day. He sent Duosang out of the city just to take a chance. Success would be the best, and failure would not be much worse.
Through the gap in the crenel, you can clearly see Duosang leading hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers towards the Tiger Flag artillery array.
Without cavalry, no matter how fast you run on two legs, you can't get anywhere.
Even the cannon closest to the outer wall of Guang'en Gate is five hundred steps away.
There is so much to do in such a long distance.
The sound of artillery outside the city did not stop because of Duosang's attack. Instead, there were a lot more gunshots and the sound of squatting tiger cannons.
"General, Dosanzo led them to failure." The guard of Guang'en Gate, who was paying attention to the situation outside the city, said in a low voice.
Ye Bilong retracted his head from the crenel, leaned his back against the brick wall again, took a deep breath, and suppressed the irritability in his heart.
Dosang and his men were already dead and wounded more than half of them before they even got close to the location of the tiger-shaped flag artillery array. In the end, they were defeated and fled.
Ye Bilong looked at the guard of Guang'en Gate and said, "I'm going to find a way to get rid of the tiger thieves' cannons outside the city, but before I figure out a way, you have to guard Guang'en Gate and you must not let a single tiger thieve go." People climbed to the top of Guang'en Gate."
"General, don't worry. Even if the general dies, he will never let the tiger thieves climb the city wall even half a step." The guard of Guang'en Gate assured Ye Bilong by patting his chest in front of him.
