Chapter 409: Something Happened in Guangzhou
Sunset. A disc-like red sun hangs at the end of the west, about to fall.
Blood-red light burst out from the red sun, staining the entire sky red. The sky was blood-red, and when the blood-red sunlight sprinkled down, it shrouded the prosperous city of Guangzhou, and the whole city seemed to be wrapped in blood-red. As time passed, the hustle and bustle of the city of Guangzhou quieted down.
"Crunch!!"
The soldiers stationed at the gates closed the gates, and the soldiers on the towers were listless. As far as these soldiers are concerned, with Li Zhen in Guangzhou, no one dares to make trouble.
Don't you see that the foreigners were defeated by Admiral Li falling from the sky?
Don't you see that heaven and earth will be destroyed?
Don't you see that the overbearing Japanese robbers along the coast have been cut by a thousand knives?
A series of events made the people have a blind worship of Li Zhen. Similarly, the soldiers in the city were the same, they all thought that Li Zhen was in charge and did not dare to be attacked.
Therefore, the soldiers defending the city did not fear being attacked.
"Erwazi, I heard that the Japanese invaders have occupied the island of Turi on the sea. Admiral Li led his army to Turi Island to exterminate the Japanese invaders, and you say, can Admiral Li lead the army back triumphantly in a few days? The speaker was a veteran in his early forties, he was thin, his small eyes were squinted, and he shook his head.
The man who was called Erwazi was a young man, about his early twenties.
At the mention of Li Zhen, a touch of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of the second baby.
He subconsciously reached out and clenched the saber hanging from his waist, and said loudly: "Admiral Li will lead the army to battle, and he will definitely return with a great victory." I think that when Admiral Li arrives on Turi Island, the Japanese will be frightened. Calculating the time to rush to Turi Island, plus the time to return, even if Admiral Li is slightly delayed on the road, he will definitely return triumphantly tomorrow. Alas, he has been guarding the city on the tower of the city, and has nothing to do, if he can follow Admiral Li on the expedition, it will be worth dying. ”
These words immediately won the approval of the rest of the soldiers.
These soldiers are fanatical admirers of Li Zhen.
After hearing this, the veteran laughed and said, "Second baby, do you want to follow Admiral Li?" Hehe, the soldiers recruited by Admiral Li do not smoke opium, do not gamble, do not steal or rob, and must not have a bad record, it is too difficult to pass the test. Well, let's make a bet, if Admiral Li can come back tomorrow, Lao Tzu will pay for you to drink and sleep with women. If Admiral Li doesn't come back until after tomorrow, how about you use the money you saved this month to invite Lao Tzu to drink and sleep with a woman? ”
"Don't do it!"
The second baby shook her head and said with a firm face: "Every month's salary is for me to marry my daughter-in-law in the future, and my mother said that I can't use it indiscriminately, and I resolutely don't bet." ”
"Haha...... Lao Tzu knows that your kid is a bad seed, and he doesn't dare to bet if he doesn't lose money. The veteran shook his head and said, "With Admiral Li's ability, he will definitely ...... tomorrow."
At this point, the veteran's voice stopped abruptly.
"There is a situation, be on alert !!"
The veteran opened his eyes and stared at the outside of the city, screaming loudly.
This voice immediately woke up the rest of the soldiers.
The second baby looked at it and shouted, "My mother, the widow is here!" "Compared with the veterans, the second baby is young and strong, and his eyes are good. The veteran could only vaguely see the situation outside the city, but the second child begged to see clearly the dress of the people outside the city.
Dressed in clogs, with a long and a short saber stuck in his waist, and a bare head in the shape of a horse's hoof on the top of his head, and a pig's tail on the back of his head, coupled with that unique costume, it is clearly a wolf.
The words of the second baby fell, and all the soldiers on the city tower were on alert.
The second baby said worriedly: "Lao Zhou, Admiral Li led the army to Turi Island to exterminate the Japanese invaders, but the Japanese invaders appeared outside the city of Guangzhou, what do you say is the situation?" ”
The veteran Lao Zhou's eyes rolled, and he said solemnly: "Hmph, this is the little devil's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Admiral Li led the army out of Guangzhou, and the troops in the city were insufficient, so the Japanese dared to appear. ”
"Quick, heighten your vigilance. They all raised their guns to Lao Tzu and aimed at the Japanese cowards below, and aimed at the fight. ”
The generals defending the city got the news and came out quickly.
Lao Zhou saw the generals defending the city come out, and said loudly: "Lord Qian, the Japanese are prepared, and they must report the news to the Admiral's Mansion first." When the time comes, you won't be able to hold on, and you won't have to take too much responsibility. ”
The soldiers defending the city of Guangzhou were still the official rules of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Put the general, the thousand, and the general......
Mr. Qian listened to Lao Zhou's words, nodded again and again, and ordered: "What Lao Zhou said is reasonable, Liu Erwa, you kid has sharp legs and feet, go to the Admiral's Mansion to report the news." ”
"Yes!"
Liu Erwa was the previous Erwa, and after getting the order, she turned around and ran downstairs in the city.
Mr. Qian said: "Old Zhou, can you hold it this time?" ”
Seeing the black and oppressive widows rushing towards him, Mr. Qian was a little apprehensive in his heart. After all, he only had a few hundred soldiers under his command to defend the city of Guangzhou, and his troops and weapons were insufficient. The Japanese who came outside were densely packed, and it was estimated that there would definitely not be less than a thousand people according to the eyesight of Mr. Qian, and the Japanese came prepared, and Mr. Qian had no bottom in his heart.
Lao Zhou's face suddenly became solemn, and he said solemnly: "Master Qian, if you can keep it, you have to keep it, and if you can't keep it, you have to keep it." There are countless people behind us, and this is our root, which cannot be violated, and cannot be allowed to be robbed by the pirates. Besides, your wife, children, and parents are in the city, and you know Admiral Li's attitude towards the Japanese invaders. If you abandon the defense and do not fight, it will definitely end up with a thousand cuts. ”
Lao Zhou is a veteran who has defended the city for many years, has rich experience, and is also good at observing words and feelings. With a glance, he saw that Mr. Qian's heart was weak, and he said something to Mr. Qian's heart, so that Mr. Qian did not dare not resist.
Mr. Qian's body shuddered and nodded heavily.
He hadn't seen with his own eyes Li Zhen's methods of dealing with the Japanese invaders, but he had heard of it. If he really abandons the defense and does not fight, not only will he be affected, but his family will also be implicated. Mr. Qian shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to serve Admiral Li, show your courage and prepare for Lao Tzu." ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Qian, we can hold it!"
"Admiral Li is not here, we must defend Guangzhou, and we would rather die than let the Japanese invade the city."
……
On the tower, soldiers shouted loudly.
As the soldiers shouted and cheered, the soldiers were all staring. A momentum of unity condensed on the castle tower, and the courage to die lingered around.
Seeing this, Lao Zhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian can always command from the city tower, so that the soldiers will not be chaotic.
At this moment, the Japanese outside the city have approached the city of Guangzhou. They both had a long and a short saber stuck in their waists, but they carried guns in their hands. At the forefront of the troops was a middle-aged man, who was extremely tall, mighty, and powerful with slender arms. This man's name is Tokugawa Iehong, a handsome member of the Tokugawa family of the Japanese shogunate, and this time he led soldiers to attack Guangzhou.
"Cannon ready!"
The distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, and Tokugawa Iehong stopped and yelled violently.
Immediately, all the soldiers who were following Tokugawa Iehiro stopped. Immediately afterwards, two cannons were pushed out and placed outside the city of Guangzhou, aiming at the city gate that had long been closed.
On the tower of the city, when Mr. Qian saw this, he shouted: "Follow me down to the city, you must hold it." ”
He had already understood the way the Japanese were fighting, and he must have used artillery to blast open the city gates, and then rushed in with a group of Japanese invaders. In this situation, the only way to do this is to go down and guard the city gates.
