298 Heavy casualties

。 When I woke up, it was already dawn. In the past, this was the time to open the city gates, and the people who entered and exited the city gates would crowd at the city gates, waiting for the city gates to open and start their day's lives. But today, the city gate is not destined to be opened, and there will be no common people to enter and exit, although a large number of soldiers are gathered in the doorway, there is no noise in the past. Some of the soldiers who had woken up were sharpening their weapons, some were gathering together to keep warm and chat, and some of them were literate lying on the city wall writing letters to their families......

I smiled when I lifted the blanket and smelled the faint scent, which was not the smell of rouge gouache, but the natural body fragrance of a girl, but I couldn't tell whether it was Luo Rou or Cher who covered me after I fell asleep.

I got up and habitually glanced in the direction of the enemy camp, and there seemed to be cooking smoke rising in the mist, but it was too far away to see it really, and I didn't know whether it was morning fog or cooking smoke. After seeing nothing out of the ordinary, I turned around and walked towards the Arrow Tower.

"General...... The general ......, "When all the soldiers saw me passing by, they all put down what they were doing and straightened their backs.

I nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone has worked hard, don't stand still, what you originally did, continue to do what you do!" ”

"Yes, General!" Everyone agreed in unison, but they still insisted on waiting for me to enter the arrow tower before continuing their own business.

In the arrow tower, Luo Rou and Xue'er hugged each other and lay on the marching bed, covered with a thin blanket, breathing long, sleeping fragrantly, and a trace of tiredness on their slightly wrinkled foreheads.

I carefully covered the two of them with the thin blanket in my hand, bowed my head and kissed their foreheads, then turned around and walked out of the arrow tower.

On the city wall, Fang Shan has already led the soldiers to repair the city defense. Yesterday, a large number of defensive equipment was consumed, especially the consumption of arrows was the most alarming, and it must be replenished immediately, Shi Xingzheng, the director of the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, was commanding a group of people to expand the inventory for the city wall.

I said to the head of the Arsenal Division, "What happened to the gunpowder drying now?" ”

When Shi Xing saw me summoning, he hurriedly ran over, asked for a good time, and said cautiously: "If you go back to your lordship, yesterday the weather was not beautiful, and the effect of gunpowder drying was not good, if this weather continues, I am afraid it will take three or four days to have a small amount of use." Although there was some trepidation in his tone, there was also a hint of gratitude, because if I hadn't begged for him at that time, his head would have already landed.

Nodding, the situation was similar to what he had reported before, there was nothing surprising, and he said: "You must use the fastest speed to dry the gunpowder, without artillery to return fire, the rebel artillery can bombard the city defense unscrupulously, and the casualties of the soldiers will increase exponentially." ”

"Yes, the lower officials must step up drying, and they must use the fastest speed to dry the gunpowder for the adults to defend the city."

"The speed must be fast, but you can't be careless, the performance of gunpowder doesn't need to be said, you know much better than me, you must pay attention to safety, strictly prohibit fireworks, ensure the safety of gunpowder, you must know, this is a matter of whether the city can be defended."

"Yes, the lower official must pay attention, if there is some accident, the lower official will raise his head to see the adult!"

"Good! Go get busy! ”

"Yes, my lord, retire!" Shi Xing respectfully bowed and left, he went directly to the Imperial Horse Prison, as for the handling of the equipment, he naturally handed it over to the deputy, he understood that the large amount of gunpowder drying in the Imperial Horse Prison was the most important thing, and he couldn't be sloppy, and he knew that his head emperor was still worried about it!
