Eight hundred and seventieth chapters Erzhe drink too much
So, although they saw the officials around them who were drunk, they did not think about finding General Elezhe among the people who fell from all over the place.
However, after walking around, he did not find General Elezhe.
What's going on? Could it be that General Elezhe walked through the back door? How is that possible? At least he had to call on these guards, right?
After turning a while, the centurion saw a general who was huddled in a corner, holding a pillar, and sleeping soundly.
Needless to say, just from the clothes, you can see that he is General Elezhe!
At this time, the big pillar seemed to be his camp bed. Elez was sleeping very comfortably, and even his saliva was flowing out.
"General, General!" After the centurion passed, he shouted immediately, and at the same time, he shook Elez hard.
Unexpectedly, Elezhe did not respond at all and he slept very sweetly.
What to do? The centurion gritted his teeth and said, "Come on the bucket of water right now!"
Now, the situation is critical, and the Ming army outside the city will attack the city at any time. Who knows if it will attack at night? Will there be a more powerful attack tomorrow? Now, General Elezhe is drunk here, and there is no other way, but to think of a way to wake General Elezhe.
When the people next to him heard the centurion say this, without hesitation, they immediately brought a bucket of water from the well in the middle courtyard.
The water is very cool.
"General, you offended me. You are so drunk now that you must wake up as soon as possible to command the army. After a while, when you wake up, you can punish the generals no matter how much you punish them." The centurion said, pouring a bucket of water on Elez's head.
If the cold well water is poured on the heads of ordinary people, it will immediately be a shock. Even if you sleep dead, you will immediately wake up.
However, when it hit Orlezhe, he didn't react at all!
Elez was still sleeping, not even a slight twitch of his limbs, except for the gasping sound in his nose, it was like a dead person.
"Another bucket!" said the centurion.
In the darkness, watching these Tartar soldiers busy, a yamen runner on the side disappeared into the darkness after just looking at it.
There are no drunk people who are so happy to wake up. Besides, they have specially prepared medicines in this wine. Humph, even if they pour ten buckets of water, they will have to wake up after tomorrow.
What a pity, I originally planned to find an opportunity to stab the Tartar guard general, but now, the Tartar guard general has those guards around him and he can't find any chance to start.
The yamen runner disappeared into the darkness, as if he had never appeared.
The entire scene was still dirty.
This night seemed very quiet, but it was a sign of the storm.
Datong North City Wall.
The east gradually showed whiteness, and the sky was slowly getting brighter.
On the top of the city, there is nothing to move except the flying flag.
The defenders on the top of the city were all asleep. They sat under the city wall with their weapons, leaning against the wall, and slept very sweetly.
No one was awake, and in the second half of the night, even the sentry fell asleep.
Therefore, none of them noticed it. Just opposite, the Ming army had gathered there clearly, and the black cavalry would attack the city at any time.
Behind the attack position, on the Wankou Gun position, was busy at this time.
After everything was ready yesterday, it was already three o'clock. They only had an hour of rest and ushered in their most glorious moment.
Behind the position was the army led by Xu Da. He looked at Chang Yuchun's arrangement. At this time, he still felt a little unbelievable. Chang Yuchun's army was all cavalry and had no siege equipment. Now, they wanted to attack the city, all rely on these bowl-mouth guns?
How powerful is the bowl gun?
"Three rounds of shooting must be opened." Chang Yuchun calmly gave the order. This action cannot be embarrassing in front of friendly troops.
"Yes." The commander of the thousand-time master who was in charge of commanding the firearms immediately agreed, turned his head and shouted to the position behind him: "Note, first round of shooting, observe their respective bounce points, and prepare for the next correction."
In front, a soldier waved a small red flag in his hand. When the flag was put down, all the twists of the bowl-mouthed gun were lit.
"Chi, Chi..." The twister burned and quickly drilled into the bowl.
"Boom, boom!" Suddenly, the sound of the earth shaking mountains came, and the entire position of the Wankou Gun was shrouded in black smoke.
In the black smoke, countless projectiles flew towards the city.
Except for the soldiers who were responsible for observing the bullet points, after the launch, the rest began to clean up the inside of the bowl gun in an orderly manner and reload it. No one paid attention to the effect of the bullets they shot out.
They are already familiar with the path, and when doing these things, it is as easy as eating and sleeping.
Of course, what happened in the past was definitely the rain of death.
"Boom, boom!" The sound of the earth shaking completely awakened the defenders on the city.
What's wrong? They didn't understand why, so they raised their heads and just wanted to look out, they felt the city where they were swaying.
"Bang, bang! Boom!" With these sounds, they were surprised to find that their feet seemed to be trembling!
Then, their eyes widened, and more than half of the flying projectiles hit the city wall. They had already seen the subsequent projectiles coming.
The huge projectile flew over like this, smashing the city wall into trembling, and their hearts trembled. What weapon was that? It was much more powerful than the Huihui cannon on its own!
"Ah..." Suddenly, a scream came from the top of the city. It turned out to be a bullet that hit the top of the city. Several people could not dodge. One of them was directly killed, and two others were smashed to death. They screamed continuously.
No one has experienced this kind of scene before, and they were stunned.
"Hurry, go and report to General Elezhe, the Ming army is going to attack the city!" a centurion shouted.
Hearing him speak, two smart soldiers immediately ran down the city: "Yes, we will definitely report it to General Elezhe."
The rest of the people reacted and suddenly felt full of regret. Why didn’t they run faster?
Although they suffered this round of heavy blows, the will of the defenders at the city was still relatively firm. Elezhe inspected the city every day and encouraged them. In addition, General Kuogu was about to come back, so they didn't think much about running away.
They didn't know that this was just the beginning.
The black smoke dissipated, and the guns at the bowls at each door had been cleaned up, the ammunition was loaded, and the angle was adjusted.
When the soldiers holding the little red flag suddenly dropped the little red flag, the second round of artillery fire began again.
Xu Da was pleasing to the eye, but at the same time he felt a little disappointed in his heart.
The army under Prince Chen is equipped with such advanced firearms to attack the city, which is really a powerful tool! If he had these firearms at the beginning, it would be easy to capture Datong City, even if it expanded into the city, he could attack hard.
Unfortunately, these firearms are still the killer weapons under Prince Chen.
Regarding the issue of firearms, the emperor had also considered, for example, asking Prince Chen to contribute the Taizhou Ordnance Bureau. However, this would make Prince Chen feel disappointed. Moreover, the court now has no extra funds to maintain the operation of the Taizhou Ordnance Bureau. Needless to say, the court could not afford the wages of those workers.
Prince Chen is very rich and treats his servants very generously. The wages of workers in the Ordnance Bureau are almost equivalent to those of sixth-rank officials in the court. If the court takes over, it will be difficult to maintain normal expenses just at the beginning.
Therefore, now we can only stay like this first, and then make plans until the Ming Dynasty's national strength develops. Besides, everything that Prince Chen has developed is for the Ming Dynasty. For example, now, the Black Army will help him and conquer Datong City will be a blink of an eye.
"Boom, boom!" The fierce second round of artillery fire rang out again.
In Datong City, the backyard of the government office.
"General, wake up, general, wake up." A familiar voice came to his ears.
Elezhe felt his head as if it had exploded, and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He wanted to open it, but he couldn't lift it up no matter how hard he wanted to open it.
"Wow!" A cold current fell from his head, and he suddenly shuddered, and finally his eyelids opened.
A familiar face appeared in front of me.
"General, you are finally awake." The centurion said immediately when he saw Oretzer open his eyes.
Since the failure of his efforts last night, the centurion was temporarily by Elez's side, guarding him to sleep until dawn. After dawn, he started calling him again, but in the end, he still couldn't wake him up.
At this moment, a huge explosion sounded outside, which made the centurion shocked and shook him harder, and used two more buckets of cold water.
Finally, with these efforts, the general woke up.
What's going on? Why am I here? Elez looked around and seemed very strange.
My brain is still very painful, and my thinking is not very clear.
"General, you have drunk too much, but fortunately, you finally woke up. Now, the Ming army has begun to attack the city." said the centurion.
Although I didn't see it in person, the deafening explosion would be fine. It was the Ming army's firearm, which means that the Ming army began to attack the city!
Drinking too much? The Ming army sieges the city? Suddenly, Elezhe remembered some things from last night.
I have never drunk too much, nor have I ever felt like I am now. At this critical moment, there must be something wrong! Elezhe immediately became suspicious.
Could it be that someone put medicine in the alcohol? Why isn’t it poison? Isn’t it better to poison yourself directly?
"Boom, boom!" At this time, the explosion sounded again. He pulled his mind back from his thoughts. Elezhe knew that it was not important to think about this now. He first guarded the city and investigated the matter after he came back! "Go to the city immediately." Elezhe said.
Chapter completed!
