Quietly standing on the city wall this summer.
Someone patted her on the shoulder from behind, startled her, and turned to see Uncle Beg.
"Uncle, why did you come here?" As soon as she finished saying this, she looked at him vigilantly, "My aunt asked you to come? Take me back?"
Uncle Beg poked her on the forehead and said contemptuously, "The heart of a villain!"
"Then you..." At this time, Fang Jin saw Mrs. Shen behind Uncle Beg. "Auntie, how did you come out? It's not safe here. You should hurry back with my uncle."
Mrs. Shen smiled slightly: "You juniors are all here, so I can't compare to you."
"That's not what I mean, I think this is all rough work. Auntie, look, you are so dignified and skilled, we can do all the rough work." This summer persuaded with good words, for fear that the fight would be blinded. It would be bad if Mrs. Shen made a mistake.
Ignoring him, Mrs. Shen took out a paper package from her bosom: "Take a bucket of water and dissolve the medicine powder. All arrows and spear tips to be shot are dipped in the water. It’s not some kind of poison that seals the throat when you see blood, but as long as you see blood, it can make your whole body numb and you won’t be able to exert yourself.”
I was overjoyed this summer, and hurriedly took the paper package carefully.
After Mrs. Shen explained, she looked at Mrs. Qi above the tower, sighed softly, and went down the city wall with Uncle Beg, but did not go far, only found a quiet place nearby to wait. Uncle Beg knew that she was worried about the safety of the city this summer when the city was broken, so he didn't persuade him, and only thought about how to keep the two of them safe.
At three o'clock in the ugly time, a shadowy torch and the sound of drums appeared in front of Xinhe City.
"Boom, boom, boom! boom, boom, boom!..."
In the dead silence of the night, the sound of the drums, which had no chaotic rhythm, was extremely harsh, and each beat seemed to hit the hearts of everyone above the city wall.
Here they are, in this dark night.
This summer, she hugged the bow and arrow tightly, staring at the source of the drum sound. A shadow flickered behind her. She turned around and saw Cen Shou's hand in the shape of a blade, holding it up in the air...
"What are you doing?" She stared suspiciously at his hand.
Cen Shousan put down his hands and gestured twice in front of his eyes: "...It's nothing, let the Japanese pirates see my determination to use their swords."
"Sophistry!" This summer sneered, "You want to stun me secretly and drag me back, right? Brother Xie told me."
"This traitor!"
Cen Shou gritted his teeth.
Nunuzui, a firearm on the city wall of the Xia Dynasty: "What are you afraid of? Look at this battle, Japanese pirates can't easily attack."
On the city wall are large guns, fire guns, torches, armor-piercing guns, javelins, and other firearms and blades, which are indeed terrifying at first glance.
Cen Shou pursed his lips towards the gunpowder box on the ground: "Have you seen gunpowder? There's not even a load of gunpowder, less than twenty pounds of lead, less than five pounds of sulfur, and this big gun, searched the entire armory. , and only found a sub-gun, which means..." Because there were still people around, it would shake the military's heart, and he didn't continue to say what happened later.
In other words, this big gun looks very bluffing, but it can only be fired once, and then it has to be used as a decoration. This summer, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and said fiercely: "I don't expect to kill them, just scare them to death!"
Cen Shou rubbed his forehead.
"Brother, come here, can you see the drummer?" This summer dragged Cen Shou to the city wall and asked, "Abandon him and destroy their prestige!"
Cen Shou narrowed his eyes: "I can see it, but unfortunately it's out of range of the fire gun."
"Then get closer and play again!" This summer was very annoyed at the drumming.
"Don't worry, listen to Mrs. Qi's order before starting." Cen Shou had read the military book with Lu Yi, and talked eloquently, "When the two armies are fighting, it is best not to lose your temper. Besides, we have limited gunpowder, so we must use it on the blade. Come on, destroy their spirits in one fell swoop."
This summer, he nodded slowly, looked at him admiringly, and asked, "Lord Lu taught you all, right
Cen Shou raised his head: "Can't I just be talented and smart?"
"Okay, okay..." This summer hehe laughed.
The drums were getting closer and closer, and the dark Japanese pirates gathered under the city, stopped less than 20 feet away from the city wall, and confronted the Ming army on the city wall.
"Boom, boom, boom! boom, boom, boom!..."
The drums were still beating steadily, like contempt and threat.
Madam Qi frowned, took the bow and arrow from the hand of the maid in military uniform next to her, pulled the bow and placed the arrow, only to hear a swooshing sound, the arrow fell off the string, streaked across the night sky in front of everyone, and hit the drummer's left chest. .
White Feather trembled slightly.
The drums stopped.
There was an uproar among the Japanese pirates.
I only knew that Mrs. Qi knew some boxing skills before, but I didn't expect her to be so skilled with arrows that she could easily kill the enemy in the dark. This summer's admiration for Mrs. Qi has been greatly deepened.
Seeing the death of their companions, the Japanese pirates shouted loudly with their weapons in their hands, waiting for the leader's order.
Xie Xiao has always been a loser without losing the battle. Seeing the arrogance of the Japanese pirates, he immediately summoned his inner strength and screamed.
Seeing this, Cen Shou responded with a whistling sound. This howling sound is extremely infectious, and everyone hears it, and their courage is lifted. Those who know kung fu shout loudly, and those who don’t know kung fu also shout loudly, even this summer, they are also screaming and screaming, which is really happy!
Just listening to the sound, you can tell that there are many people on the city wall. This is something that the leader of the Japanese pirates did not expect in advance. After thinking for a moment, General Qi has already led his troops to Ninghai. Order a siege.
Due to the long-distance attack of the Japanese pirates and their underestimation of Xinhe City, they did not have well-equipped siege equipment, not even a ladder, and only cut down a large tree outside the city to use as a siege ram.
At the moment, dozens of Japanese pirates rushed to the city gate with battering rams, and other gunmen shot at the city to cover the siege.
Mrs. Qi gave an order, and the personal soldiers on the city wall fired fire guns, armor-piercing guns, and bows and arrows at the bottom of the city.
The people who do not know how to use firearms and swords will wave their flags and shout on the city wall to strengthen the army.
The leader of the Japanese pirates really did not expect that there are so many firearms reserves in the city. He saw that the city wall was full of fire, and it was full of people. The momentum was like a rainbow, and the killing sound was shocking.
The Japanese pirates who were attacking the city at the front were nearly half down. The leader of the Japanese pirates raised his hand, and the Japanese pirates in the back continued to attack.
Seeing that the Japanese pirates were not frightened away, Madam Qi bit her teeth and ordered someone to push the big gun to the side of the city wall...
After shooting the last arrow in the quiver this summer, I heard the rattling sound of the big gun, and my heart shuddered: "Ma'am, we need it now... We only have one gun, and it will be gone when we run out."
Mrs. Qi said with a resolute face: "This siege must be repelled, and only in this way can we deter them!"
This Xia knew that she was right, but she used the last sub-gun at the beginning, and finally felt that she had no idea in her heart, so she went to the side to look for arrows uneasy.
There were no gunners among the soldiers, so Mrs. Qi loaded the ammunition herself, shook the axle, and aimed the gun.
"boom!"
The recoil of the gun body shook the entire city wall.
The gun flew out from the gun barrel, shot straight into the Japanese pirates twenty feet away, and exploded! All those who touched it died, and more than ten people fell in an instant, and even the leader of the Japanese pirates was shaken off from the horse.
Unexpectedly, there are such heavy firearms in Xinhe City, and the leader of the Japanese pirates was shocked, and he immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops before he had time to think about it. The siege Japanese pirates dropped their battering rams and fled back with bows, arrows and fire cannons.
"We won?" This summer was a little unbelievable.
Cen Shou's hands were full of powdered powder from when he filled the gunpowder. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the remaining gunpowder: "Fortunately, they have withdrawn, and if they continue to fight, the gunpowder will be used up."
Everyone above the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing the Japanese pirates stationed in the field of vision, they obviously did not give up, and they were still uneasy in their hearts.
Mrs. Qi inspected the city wall and ordered everyone not to relax, but she still had to make the illusion that there were many garrisoned troops in the city to confuse the enemy. Then she quickly came to Jin Xia and others, and said, "Keep the Qingbo River, how many people do you want?"
"Twenty!"
"The personal soldiers can't go, they have to stay on the city wall."
"You don't need personal soldiers, as long as you wear military robes and can carry knives and guns," said this summer.
Xie Xiao said inexplicably beside him: "What do you want twenty people to do?"
Shaking his head this summer: "It's still an empty city plan!"
Mrs. Qi ordered 20 people, all of them changed into military uniforms and helmets, and held a long gun that was polished, which looked very similar. This summer, they bowed their hands: "Brothers, you have a lot of work. Later, you can raise your head higher and walk more neatly. At least you have to be a full seven successful husbands."
Xie Xiao was full of doubts and looked at Yang Yue, who was also dressed in a military robe and looked ready to go.
**************************************************** ****************
The banging sound of fire guns and the sound of the battering ram from outside made Shangguanxi and the others, who were sheltering in Chunyu's residence, restless, and they couldn't stay still in the cellar, so they only listened to the movement in the courtyard. Later, when he heard the bombardment of the big gun, Shangguanxi could no longer sit still, and went out with a lame leg.
"Girl, you can't go out!" Xu Bo shouted from behind.
A Rui stood there, not saying a word or stepping forward.
Shangguan Xi walked forward step by step with a lame leg, until she reached the courtyard gate, when A Rui hurried up from behind her, leaned down, wrapped her arms around her, and carried her on her back.
"You... I don't need your back." Shangguanxi was startled by him and said angrily.
Because of the fact that A Rui was undercover in the Wu'an Gang, she hadn't said a word to him for several days.
A Rui carried her steadily forward, and said, "Your leg has not healed yet, I will carry you to find him."
Shangguanxi* said: "I can find him myself, I don't need you."
"I'm carrying you, so you can see him sooner." A Rui said in a low voice.
Shangguan Xi was stunned. At this moment, she really wanted to find Xie Xiao quickly, but... Her hand was tightly grasping the shirt on A Rui's shoulder, and she could not help but gradually relax, but she said coldly, "You are like this. To please me, do you still want to return to the Wu'an Gang? I can tell you now, even if you are willing to suffer three swords and six holes, I will never allow you to return to the gang."
There was almost no one in sight on the street. A Rui walked with her step by step. Listening to her voice, he felt that no matter what she said, it was fine, at least she was willing to talk to herself, which was very good. All right. The wound on his back is still healing. Carrying Shangguan Xi on his back will inevitably rub against the wound, causing a stabbing pain, but at this moment, even this kind of pain makes him very satisfied.
"Why don't you speak?" Shangguanxi couldn't help asking when he saw that he was just walking with his head buried in his head and didn't say a word.
"Well..." Arui paused for a while before saying, "I didn't think about going back to the gang, don't worry."
Shangguanxi snorted coldly and said, "How come, I think that Wu An is helping Yiwa Zhishui, and I can't tolerate your real dragon? Come on, you were really aggrieved before."
Seemingly not hearing the sarcasm in her words, A Rui said quietly: "When I was in the gang, I always thought, if I'm really just A Rui, really just a pawn in the gang, then there should be How nice."
"..." Hearing the sadness in his voice, Shangguanxi was silent for a while, "How many things have you done to the gang?"
A Rui no longer has any concealment, and truthfully said: "My task is to report the situation of the gang in detail, including the exchange of money and goods with other gangs. By the way, I have delivered the river repair money for Zhou Xian, which is what I deliberately followed. , I originally planned to start repairing the river on the river, but the plan changed temporarily, so I gave up."
"Have you hurt your gang?" she asked.
"It didn't hurt their lives... It's just that when they got in the way, I gave them sweat medicine to make it easier for me to act."
Shangguanxi was furious and grabbed his collar tightly: "Did you also give me medicine?!"
"No, cough cough..." A Rui said hurriedly, "I never gave you any medicine, it's true. When you rescued me three years ago, I decided that I couldn't hurt you no matter what."
"You are so talented, why do you need me to save you? It's just a trick you want to sneak into the gang." Shangguanxi didn't believe it at all.
"I did lie to you at that time, but you saved me sincerely, and I have always been grateful to you in my heart."
"Don't say it! I was blind at that time, and I picked up a wolf!"
Shangguan Xi said angrily.
Sure enough, A Rui stopped talking, and just carried her forward quietly until he reached the city wall, and then put her down.
