Ye Bilong reached out and patted the guard of Guang'en Gate on the shoulder, then bowed his body and left the female wall where he was hiding, and ran towards the horse path.
Finally, we followed the horse path down the city wall and left Guang'en Gate.
The gatekeeper of Guang'en watched Ye Bilong leave. He didn't look back until he was out of sight.
"Mr. Qian, what did General Bilong mean by what he just said? Doesn't he just ignore Guang'en Gate?" Boss Ba, who had been following the guard of Guang'en Gate, asked.
The guard of Guang'en looked at him and said: "Didn't you hear everything I just said? General, go back and think of a way. There will always be a way to deal with the tiger thieves' cannons. Just wait patiently."
"Mr. Qian, please stop covering up for others. What do you mean by finding a way? When he comes up with a way, the walls of our Guang'en Gate will be blown down with cannons." Mr. Ba curled his lips.
He had often heard these perfunctory words when he was in the Ming army. Unexpectedly, when he came to the Qing Dynasty, the people above him would still deceive him like this.
The guard of Guang'en Gate raised his hand and patted the general's upper arm, and said: "No matter whether we can figure out a way or not, we must guard Guang'en Gate and never allow the tiger thieves to enter the city through Guang'en Gate."
"The general also wants to guard Guang'en Gate, but the tiger thieves' cannons are too fierce. It's not like you can't see it, Mr. Qian. The brothers below are considered powerful masters even if they can stand on the city wall with weapons. More People all hide and hide whenever they can, but in this situation, once the tiger thieves attack, what will they use to defend Guangen Gate!" said the general manager to the guard of Guangen Gate.
After hearing this, the guard of Guang'en Gate hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what better way do you have?"
"What can I do, general? If I have any good ideas, how could I not tell him." The general spread his hands.
Upon hearing this, the guard of Guang'en Gate had a straight face and said: "You have no way, and I have no way, so just wait for the general's solution. As long as the general is still here, we can't watch Gaizhou City fall."
"The general is looking at our Eight Banners general and he is just trying to persuade Mr. Qian to work for the Qing Dynasty. If he had any good ideas, he would have said it long ago, and he will not say it until now." Mr. Guang'en stared at Guang En. The gatekeeper said.
"What do you mean?"
The guard of Guang'en Gate became wary.
Mr. Ba said in a low voice: "Mr. Qian, do you really think we can defend Guang'en Gate?"
"As long as you fight to the death, there's nothing you can't defend." Guang'en Gatekeeper moved to the side and put a little distance away from the general manager in front of him.
Mr. Ba said: "I will tell you straight, Mr. Qian, do you think Gaizhou City can be defended?"
"What do you think?" Guang'en Gatekeeper asked.
Mr. Ba curled his lips and said: "The final general is not optimistic that the Qing Dynasty will defend Gaizhou City under the offensive of the tiger thieves."
"Bold, you can say this nonsense. If word spreads, a hat that shakes the morale of the army will be put on your head, and no one will be able to protect you." The guard of Guang'en Gate scolded with a dark face.
Mr. Jiang said with disdain: "Killing the general will not change the outcome of Gaizhou City. Just wait and see. Gaizhou City will be captured by tiger thieves in a short time. Guang'en Gate we are guarding will not be able to change it." The first place to fall.”
"Shut up, don't say this again. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't let you go without the general taking action." The guard of Guang'en Gate gave the guard in front of him a fierce look.
President Jiang said without any sign of weakness: "What the general said is true. Even if President Qian doesn't think about himself, he can't help but think about the lives of his brothers! My brothers came to the Qing Dynasty from the Ming Dynasty with you. Work hard for those Jurchens."
His words made the Guangen gatekeeper's momentum weaken.
The guard of Guang'en Gate softened his tone and said: "I know it's not easy for our brothers, but I have not treated them badly these years. If I hadn't defected to the Qing Dynasty, my brothers might not still be alive. If the Ming army really Opponents of the Qing Dynasty, I will not bring you to seek refuge. Although we are encountering difficulties at the moment, reinforcements from Haizhou should be arriving soon, so brothers, please hold on."
"Mr. Qian, please stop lying to your brothers. How long has it been since the news for help was sent out? Haizhou should have received the news long ago. If there are reinforcements, they should have arrived in Gaizhou City by now. There are no reinforcements yet. It means Haizhou has not sent reinforcements at all." Mr. Ba said.
The gatekeeper Guang'en remained silent.
Haizhou is not far from Gaizhou, and he also knows in his heart that if the Haizhou defender really wants to send reinforcements to support Gaizhou City, there will be no news for so long.
Seeing that the other party was silent, President Qian continued, "President Qian, can't you understand now? Gaizhou City has been abandoned. No matter how hard we defend, we can't change the outcome of Gaizhou City."
"The situation is not as bad as you said." The guard of Guang'en Gate said, "Even if Haizhou does not send reinforcements, Shengjing will send reinforcements. Long live the Lord will never watch Gaizhou City fall into the hands of tiger thieves."
After listening to what he said, Mr. Qian snorted and said: "There is Liaoyang and Haizhou between Shengjing and Gaizhou. According to the intensity of the shelling by the tiger thieves, Mr. Qian thinks we can still wait to get to Shengjing. Reinforcements?”
"As long as we hold on, we will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements. Long Live Lord will not give up Gaizhou City, nor will he give up on us." Guangenmen said that he would cheer him up.
Hearing this, the general smiled and said: "I believe that the Qing Dynasty's Long Live Lord is not willing to give up Gaizhou City. After all, losing Gaizhou City means that the main road in western Liaoning is being choked by tiger thieves. Long Live Lord is not willing to give up the Eight Banners soldiers." I believe that too, but I don’t believe that Long Live the Lord will not give up those of us Han banner soldiers who are born as Han people. Mr. Qian, you don’t really think that we Han banner soldiers can be on an equal footing with those Eight Banner soldiers!”
"Long Live Master is actually quite good to us. He treats us much better than when he was in the Ming Army." The guard of Guang'en Gate said with some guilt.
Mr. Ba said: "Yes, we are indeed better off than we were in the Ming army, but it is only better. But everyone has abandoned their ancestors and is staring at a rat's tail. Even if they die, they will not be able to enter." Ancestral graves.”
Holding the thin braid on the back of his head in his hand, he shouted excitedly.
"When you shaved your head, you never thought about your ancestors." Guang'en Gatekeeper said with a cold face.
They are all eating from the same horse spoon, and no one understands anyone.
In his opinion, any reason why he cannot bury his ancestors after death is an excuse.
Mr. Ba straightened his neck and said, "That was before. Now I regret shaving my head every day when I think about it."
"Stop talking about these bastards. You just say what you want to do. The people walking around are reinforcements and ancestors. I don't want to hear your farts here anymore." The guard of Guang'en Gate became angry.
I don’t know whether he was stimulated by the sentence about not being able to enter the ancestral grave, or because he was annoyed by the people in front of him, or maybe both.
