Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Red Cannon

Tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers besieged the Hami Guard, and Hongyi cannons helped to break through the city, all of them with high morale and screaming. Seeing that Hami City was in danger, Adu decided to risk his life to turn the tide. Adu reached out and drew his sword, taking him by surprise from behind. But when I touched it, there was no sword! Only then did I remember that the golden sword had been handed over to Cabinet Minister Yan Wenze.

Abdul suddenly had a plan! He slowly approached the besieging bandits, eyeing a lone soldier. Abdul suddenly flew to his feet and kicked the man in the head, and the sergeant fell to the ground with a grunt. Adu quickly took off the man's military uniform, picked up the bow and arrow, and turned to leave quietly.

When Adu put on the clothes of a thief and immediately wanted to blend into the enemy formation, he suddenly heard several cannon shots, and the sound was like thunder! I saw that the city head was filled with gunpowder smoke and the city gate was suddenly opened. All the sergeants rushed in and went forward one after another. Inside and outside the city, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Abdul followed the Tatar soldiers and rushed into the city. The defenders of the city could not resist and fled one after another! One of the defenders fled frantically to the southeast, while thousands of Tatar thieves were in hot pursuit. Soon, the fleeing defenders were bitten by the thieves, and the two sides fought fiercely in the chaos! The Tatar thieves were outnumbered, strong, and morale-strong, while the fleeing defenders were bent on fleeing for their lives and had no intention of fighting. In an instant, the defenders were cut and cut down, and fell in batches in pools of blood.

Adu urged his horse forward, shouted loudly, brandished his saber, and rushed into the enemy's formation! I saw the sword light and sword shadow flying up and down, and blood and flesh splashed wherever the sword qi went! Adu was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, repeatedly rushing and killing on the battlefield, and the thieves were in chaos. Seeing the help of the divine soldiers and the hope of life, the soldiers who fled also became more ambitious, shouted and began to fight to the death against the enemy. Seeing that the situation was not good, the thieves hurriedly retreated.

Adu did not pursue him, but asked in a loud voice, "Where is your commander?" and the people were surprised to see his attire. One of them asked in a trembling voice, "You...... You're also a Tatar thief?"

Adu took off his thief uniform, wiped the blood splashed on his face, and replied, "No, no, no! I am from the Central Plains, and I happened to pass by." Where's your manager?"

Hearing this, the people were relieved. One of them replied loudly: "The boss has died in the fire!"

"What about the lieutenant?" asked Abdul again.

"Misfortune to die in the line of duty!" replied the man.

"Where are you going?" asked Abdul tentatively.

"Go to Shazhouwei!" the crowd replied.

"Shazhou Guard, is the Shazhou Guard General General General Luo?" Adu suddenly remembered that he had seen this person on the way to the army.

"Exactly, exactly!" replied someone in the crowd.

Adu thought to himself, this Shazhou Wei is only a few hundred miles away from Hami Wei, and the Tatar thieves occupy Hami City, and they will definitely be angry and use the residual power of Hongyi's cannon to invade Shazhou. It seems that I will have to follow them and go to Shazhou.

When they arrived at the city of Shazhou, Adu and all the soldiers were sleepy and tired. Abdul shouted loudly for the guards at the head of the city to open the gates. The guards at the head of the city asked in a loud voice, "Who are you, where did you come from?" and the crowd shouted eagerly, "We are the Hami guards!

"Why are you here if you don't defend the city?" the city guard asked loudly.

"The city of Hami has been breached by the Tatar bandits!" replied the people below.

"Wait a minute, I'll tell General Luo!" the guard poked his head out, and then disappeared between the city.

In Russia, General Luo ascended to the top of the city and shouted to all the people under the city: "They all say that you are the defenders of the Hami Guard, what is the basis?"

At this time, Adu drove his horse forward and said loudly to General Luo, "Can General Luo still recognize him?"

"Tilt your head and show General Ben! General Luo then asked, "When have you and I met?"

"The generals and nobles are so forgetful! On the way to fill the army last year, fortunately, thanks to the general's hospitality, it is unforgettable!" Adu took out an official letter from his arms, raised it to General Luo, and then said loudly: "The official letter is still on the little one, and there is an official letter as proof!"

General Luo pondered for a while, and then looked at Adu carefully. That's right, it's this kid!, so he ordered the gates to be opened and let in the Hami guards.

"Thank you General Luo!" After entering the city, Adu came to General Luo's side and said to the general: "These surviving defenders are already sleepy, hungry and thirsty, and I hope that the general will be kind and provide some food, water and grass!"

"Yes, yes, it's all my own family! It's just ...... It's just that the general of the Hami guard has always been brave and good at fighting, and he is resourceful, how can Hami City be easily broken by the thieves?" General Luo was very confused.

"Hongyi cannons! That thief soldier has four Hongyi cannons! It's just that where did this thief get the Hongyi cannon?" asked Adul curiously.

"This ...... General Ben had heard a little about it. Previously, the Hongyi artillery cast by our dynasty was scattered along the coast to prevent the Japanese invaders, and a few were deployed in the north pass to prevent the northern Tatars. The general of Houbeiguan was dissatisfied with the imperial court because of his promotion, and threw his cannon into the Tatar bandits. I'm a sinner!" General Luo said worriedly.

"General Luo should understand the truth of 'cold lips and cold teeth'. The Tatar thieves broke through the city of Hami, and the next step may be Shazhou Wei. I hope the general will prepare early!" said Abdul to General Luo.

"General Ben thinks so too! I want to put the defeated and retreating defenders in order, how about you in command?" General Luo said as he looked at Adu with expectant eyes.

"I am immoral and incompetent, and I am afraid of disappointing the general's expectations!" Adu also humbled himself.

"Look at the way they treat you with respect, and General Ben knows that you are fully capable of leading them. I hope you can lead them to fight bravely on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions!" General Luo's words were resounding.

"Then Adu, I might as well obey my orders if I am respectful!" Adu said to General Luo, "What is the general's plan?"

General Luo thought for a moment and said, "I want to hear your opinion!"

"The Tatar thieves suddenly attacked, relying on the Hongyi cannons. As long as he finds a way to get rid of his Hongyi cannon, his arrogance will be half extinguished!" Ah Du blurted out as if he had already thought deeply.

"That's a good idea! It seems that Adu is indeed a general! Please continue!" General Luo was very interested in Adu's opinion, and immediately said to Adu.

"The thieves come from afar, and they must have enough food and grass. If they can find their grain depots and destroy them, the Tatar thieves will retreat!" Abdul continued.

"It's a good plan, but how can it be implemented?" General Luo asked in confusion.

"If the general believes in Adu, then I will organize it myself!" replied Adu confidently.
