Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

These sons didn't think that they could do this, if they were arrested and used as strong men to carry stones and wood to defend the city, it would not be a loss.

"We are scholars, you can't treat it like that

Scholar. The Son once said..."

The scholar was still arguing, and the clinker soldier laughed loudly: "You big-headed ghost, the old saying is good." Every time you slaughter more dogs, most of them are readers. At first, I didn't believe it, but when I saw you, I kind of understood. ”

"The Tartars have called you and you have become like this, is it the business of us soldiers to defend the city? You don't have any responsibility at all? If the Tartars break the city, will you survive? Don't forget that you have cut your braids, there is no way back. ”

"Yes, Lao Lu is right, I didn't see you fart so much when Qinggou bullied you."

"Some people really have no conscience, although the braid on the head is cut, but the braid has always remained in the heart."

Those scholars turned red when they were said to have buried their heads in the face.

"The order given by the chief soldier is that all men over the age of fifteen must assist in defending the city, but there is nothing that scholars do not need to participate. Today you have to go if you go, and you have to go if you don't go. If you want to save some face for yourself, go on your own. If you don't have any face, we'll tie you up!" ”

The scholars were frightened and silent, completely devoid of the spirit they had just had.

There is a way that a good man does not suffer immediate losses, although it is basically applicable to scholars.

These scholars hurriedly said: "We are willing to go, and please lead the way." ”

"Hmph, toasting without eating and drinking, it's really a cheap bone!"

If these scholars are rigid to the end, then they will still feel that the scholars have some backbone.

But now it seems that these scholars are still too weak.

"Let's go, stay close!"

He Shouyi's subordinates are not from a professional class, and they were basically local bandits before the incident, and they were very tough.

They have preconceived notions and do not have a good impression of the scholars, so naturally they will not give them a good look.

It was not far from the wine shop to the city wall, and in a few steps they began to climb the city wall.

The scholars had never walked the road, and felt that the ramp was too steep, and one scholar even fell to the ground directly with garlic under his feet.

"It's useless! What can you do? ”

The soldiers looked disdainful, but they finally pulled the scholar up.

"This is the horse road, and you will pass through here to transport the supplies for the defense of the city. If you have a cart, you can push it, but if you don't have a cart, you can only carry it. ”

"Move with your hands?"

"What do you think? If you don't rely on your hands, do you rely on your feet? ”

"Soldier, look, we have no power to restrain the chicken, where can we move."

"Less nonsense, more practice, and you can move."

The scholars finally climbed to the top of the city, and they were stunned to see what they saw.

I saw that the broad city wall was piled up with all kinds of materials to defend the city.

There are rolling logs and stones, cannons, and trebuchets. As for the cauldron that was erected, it was used to boil tung oil and gold juice.

Barrels of arrows lined up neatly.

The soldiers wore armoured and iron helmets.

Their eyes are very resolute, and their movements are neat and they carry all kinds of materials.

That's what wars look like.

The scholars were surprised.

In their impression, fighting a war is a hedge between the two armies under an order, and they never thought that there would be so many details and preparations to be done.

It's really not easy.

Their sense of shame was even stronger at the moment.

The soldiers were fighting the front line, but they were drinking and mocking, and talking cool things.

Is this a human thing?

"What are we supposed to do?"

A scholar mustered up the courage to ask.

"Let's move the rolling logs and stones first, and bring the piles that have just been brought from the road to the battlements."

Although the Qing army has not yet arrived in Hangzhou, the soldiers still have to prepare in advance.

If you move the rolling wood to the battlement, you will save a lot of work.

"Okay, let's move!"

Self-esteem can be extremely motivating when a person is exposed to intense stimulation.

"Alas, wait!"

As soon as the scholars were about to go to carry it, they were stopped by the soldiers.

"Huh? What does the soldier command? ”

"Why are you going to work in these clothes? Tuck the hem of your robe into the waistband of your pants and roll up the sleeves. ”

"Alas, good!"

The scholars hurriedly did so.

Watching them clumsily grit their teeth and lift stones, the soldiers were still somewhat relieved.

"It would have been better if it had been done earlier."

...

...

He Shouyi is a person who demands perfection, and he has to personally ask about everything before he can rest assured.

He personally went to the head of Hangzhou to inspect and found some omissions.

For example, some of the bricks of Wulin Gate are somewhat damaged.

Although the damaged area is not very large, it is likely to be opened by Qing artillery in wartime.

He Shouyi immediately ordered the craftsman to repair and eliminate the hidden danger.

For example, some shops in the city take up a lot of space, and there will be obstacles when transporting materials to defend the city.

Coupled with the fact that the enemy's artillery fire was likely to ignite these wooden shops, He Shouyi finally decided to demolish them.

The dismantled timber, masonry and stone were not wasted and transported directly to the city as materials for defending the city.

"I don't know how many people Shi Lang will bring this time."

Previously, He Shouyi and Shi Lang had a fight in Yuhang, a suburb of Hangzhou.

From that only one combat experience, He Shouyi came to the conclusion that Shi Lang was brave and strategic.

It would be nice if this person was not a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but did something for the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that Shi Lang is willing to be a tiger and a dog.

Such an opponent should pay enough attention to him in addition to despising him.

He Shouyi didn't know how long he would be able to hold out, but he would do his best to hold it out.

As long as he drags on for a long time, the country surnamed Ye will be able to break the Qing army by leading his troops back.

"The chief soldier is not good, the Tartars are coming!"

Just as He Shouyi was pondering, the soldiers suddenly hurriedly came to report.

It's coming so fast!

Originally, He Shouyi thought that the Tartars would come at least two or three days later, but he didn't expect it to arrive today.

"Come with me up to the city."

He Shouyi was already wearing armor, but now he brought a helmet and a sword and walked towards the city.

He Shouyi came out of the bloody storm, and he cherished every opportunity to fight.

Even if he is outnumbered, he will enjoy it and strive to make the greatest contribution.

He Shouyi walked all the way, climbed to the top of the city along the horse road, and looked up, but found that it was a little different from what he imagined.

Looking at it, there are so few tartars.

From this number, it is estimated that the maximum is 20,000 or 30,000.

Twenty or thirty thousand people came to fight Hangzhou? Shi Lang also looks down on people too much, right?

He Shouyi was full of suspicions, and after thinking about it carefully, maybe this was just a vanguard, and the main force was still on the way.

Anyway, let's observe first!
