Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 145: city ​​wall

"Brother Chen, do you think the thieves will come in?"

On the city wall, a young man named Fan Si carefully unloaded a wooden pole from his shoulders, and then looked at his companion behind him with a worried expression. Both of them were led by the Qing army to the city to defend them yesterday.

Fan Si had just entered the city from the countryside at the beginning of the month. He thought that the people in the city were almost dead, and many houses had become unowned. Since it is an unowned property, it does not occupy white or white, so Fan Si also wants to occupy a house so that he can pick up his old mother from the country to live with him in the city. But after entering the city, I found that all the good houses were occupied by people, and many of them were occupied by people from Guangzhou. These people had a certain relationship with the government, and he dared to offend them.

If he couldn't get a good house, Fan Si could only find another house that wasn't too dilapidated to live in. How could he know that this house hadn't been found yet, and Xinhui City was surrounded by thieves again!

I heard from the commanders of the Green Camp that this time the thieves came no less than last year when the old thieves besieged the city. The chief soldier Wu Zhentai asked them to be killed in Guifeng Mountain. This is not because the thieves are all under the city. None of the gang masters dared to go out of the city to fight them.

Fan Si was really afraid. He was very afraid that the thieves would invade the city this time. He, the strong man defending the city, would surely die, because the people from the Green Camp said that once the thieves broke the city, they would definitely slaughter the city. At that time, no matter the old or the weak, women and children, all will die.

Thinking that if he died, there would be no one to take care of the old lady in the countryside. Fan Si's bowels are full of regrets. He shouldn't have believed the words of the people from the neighboring village and come to this city to occupy some house. Now Well, the house is not occupied, and the life is not guaranteed.

Brother Chen was not as scared as Fan Si, he rubbed his hands together and said casually, "Don't worry, the thieves can't get in. Last year, the tens of thousands of thieves were defeated. No matter how powerful the thieves are this time, is it still possible? Can you be more powerful than the old thief?"

Hearing this, Fan Si's heart widened, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, when I was in the country, I heard people say that the bandit soldiers are the most capable of fighting, and now even the bandits are taking our Xinhui City. There's no way, don't even think about fighting others." When he spoke, he didn't notice that Brother Chen's face was deep and terrifying.

The thieves can't get in, but what about the Qing army?

Looking at the group of Green Battalion soldiers who were lying on the city ramp and looking out, for some reason. Chen Yucai's eyelids jumped violently, because he thought of the bones and remains that he personally picked up from a dry well in the city at the beginning of the year.

........

The Qing troops on the city wall were still staring at the outside of the city. Although they were separated by three miles, the eyes of most people were not enough to see what the Taiping troops on the opposite side were doing, but from the exclamations of their companions, they were already I roughly know what the Taiping Army is going to do next.

A soldier from the Green Battalion discussed in private: "Many of the prisoners are the bannermen masters, how could the thieves be willing to kill them? With these bannermen masters, they can exchange a lot of silver and grain."

"Who knows, when the old thief came last year, he didn't kidnap the flag soldiers, but no one heard that the old thief killed them. Why are the thieves going to kill them this time?"

What the Green Battalion soldiers were talking about was last year. At that time, after Li Dingguo's army invaded Guangdong, he captured a lot of Han army flag Qing troops, but he did not kill these people, but exchanged these Han army flag prisoners with Guangzhou for a batch of materials urgently needed by the Ming army. Fans are hiding from the Qing court. But there is no airtight wall in the world, at least the Qing army in Xinhui knows this to some extent. This incident also made many Han flag Qing troops no longer have the determination to fight to the end when they faced Li Dingguo's department. If it wasn't for the Manchu soldiers from Beijing arriving at the critical time of the siege, they broke the defense line of the Ming army in one fell swoop. I am afraid that Xinhui City has already been captured by Li Dingguo.

"Don't make a fuss, cheer up, the thieves will attack the city at any time. The medicine is loaded into the cannon, the eyes are bright, and the thieves will fire at them as soon as they move!"

With the pressure of the officers, the Qing army on the city closed their mouths and made their final preparations, just waiting for the thieves to attack the city and teach them a lesson.

"The thieves killed our brothers in front of us, just to scare us, brothers, don't be afraid, the old thieves have told us to defeat, what can these thieves do to us!"

"Wait for the thieves to come up, listen to the orders to shoot, don't tremble with your hands, and shoot at places where they are crowded, can you hear it!"

"heard it!"

The gunners of the Han Army flag responded with a loud bang. Compared with the soldiers of the Green Battalion, they had no thought of fearing the bandits outside the city, nor did they have any sympathy for the captured companions.

Su Xianting, the leader of the inlaid blue flag who recovered his life from Guifeng Mountain, was also in the city, but this time he was looking out of the city with a solemn expression, and he looked like two people in embarrassment when they fled for their lives the day before yesterday.

"Tell General Zheng to make his people work harder, or don't blame my people for the knife!"

"twitter!"

One of the personal soldiers, Ghoshha, immediately went to send a message. After listening to Su Xianting's words, Zheng Guodong didn't say anything, just snorted.

The county magistrate, Huang Zhizheng, has already brought the county magistrate, the official's office, and other petty officials out of the city. He is a scholar, and he has no power to hold a chicken. Good, so as not to see blood in the stomach.

The magistrate didn't dare to look at it, and the county magistrate didn't dare to look at it. They have mobilized all the young and strong men left in the city to go to the city to defend the city. They have also prepared the food and materials needed by the defenders. The next step is this. The warrior who helped the knife was desperately trying, and they couldn't help or ask.

When he was going down the steps of the city wall, Huang Zhizheng suddenly asked the county magistrate, "Have all the treasury and silver been carried over?"

"It's all brought here. Just like last year, not a single copper plate was left. Huang Si led the people to watch, and he couldn't go out of business."

The county magistrate didn't stop talking, he subconsciously paused under his feet, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Same as last time, the adult's share has been sent to the inner hall."

Hearing this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Huang Zhizheng gave a faint "Oh", and then slowly paced away with his hands on his back. Seeing him like this, the county magistrate couldn't help but curse, but his face was not obvious, so he quickly followed, and said something else very attentively.

........

Outside the city, Shao Jiugong couldn't wait. His face was a little hideous and a little excited. His bloodthirsty eyes were staring at the Qing army above the city. Swipe down.

"Chopped!"

The Green Battalion surrendering soldier who could not tolerate the execution hesitated for a bit, and the long knife in his hand slashed the neck of the kneeling Han army flag soldier.

"puff!"

The head rolled to the ground in response. The knife was cut so neatly that the flesh and blood were not even half connected. The banner soldier only groaned before dying.

"Wan Sheng!"

With the landing of the first human head, there was a burst of cheers from the Taiping army. (To be continued..)
