The pain gradually subsided, and Lo Chongguang returned to his normal thinking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Lao Chongguang, who was hiding in the city tower, struggled to inspect the wounds of several guards who were injured by poisonous water with the support of several of Liu Changqing's guards.

It's a poisonous water you've never seen before! The temperament is so strong that even the clothes are penetrated.

"Liu Junmen, those forts on the city wall can't fire can't be fired?" Lao Chongguang heard that there was no cannon sound on his own city wall, and then thought about the wave of poisonous water that fell from the sky just now, and suddenly understood the sinister intentions of the bandits.

The copper pipe protruding from under the Lu bus mentioned by the guards is probably the kind of copper water dragon used to extinguish the fire, shooting poisonous water from the city to the city. Unexpectedly, the bandits could even think of such a sinister method. That kind of water dragon, Lao Chongguang had seen it when he was in the capital, it is said that it was invented by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry during the Qianlong period, and it was used to absorb water and extinguish fires.

"Lord Futai, those poisonous waters are so fierce that the soldiers dare not show their faces, so they can only hide in the nests and city towers. The governor has ordered people to gather clothes and cotton clothes from the city for the soldiers to wear, and if there are not enough quilts and tables, they will not be afraid of the poisonous water that will fall from the sky. However, according to Bendu, this poisonous water is so fierce that it must be extremely precious, and the bandit will not prepare a lot of it, but he will not use it a few times. ”

Lao Chongguang was about to say that he would mobilize more soldiers from other city gates to defend the southern city, when he suddenly heard a killing cry outside the city. However, the thief army took advantage of the opportunity of the defenders at the head of the city to hide and set up a ladder to attack the head of the city.

However, Guilin is separated from the city by a tributary of the Li River, and if you want to cross the river, you have to pass through three stone bridges in the south of the city that connect to the city gates. In addition to the south gate, the other two stone bridges have been demolished by Lao Chongguang a long time ago, and they cannot be passed, and the only stone bridge outside the south gate has been crowded with giant Lu buses, how can this thief attack the city wall?

Lao Chongguang looked out from the battlement, between thousands of thieves and soldiers stacked up the long ladder in their hands, erected in the narrow place of the water surface of the Li River, a few zhang wide river surface was actually erected a simple wooden bridge, and there was a hand-held door panel behind, which was laid on the ladder one by one, and suddenly the wooden bridge was more perfect, and the thieves with card knives rushed from the wooden bridge to the city. Later, the thieves rushed with a ladder, preparing to set up the head of the city and climb the city wall to attack the city.

Lao Chongguang was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly urged: "Liu Junmen, hurry up and send someone to block the bandits, and don't let them attack the city." ”

Seeing this, Liu Changqing, who was hiding in the city tower with Lao Chongguang, shouted angrily, and led the soldiers in the city tower to rush out. At this time, on the head of the southern city wall, the vigilant soldiers also sounded the gong of the alarm, and a large number of regiments prepared in the city followed to the city tower.

Lao Chongguang saw that the group training in the city had been prepared, and he immediately put his mind at ease.

At this time, the artillery at the head of the city also returned to the fort and opened fire on the thieves under the city. The rest of the Qing soldiers were also armed with shotguns and shot at the thieves under the city behind the battlements.

The thieves on the opposite side of the river bank outside the city were also armed with shotguns, constantly firing at the city, and the Qing soldiers were few and did not dare to take the lead for a while.

When Lao Chongguang saw that many thieves had rushed to the city and began to set up ladders, he hurriedly ordered the regimental training village who had just caught up with the city tower, smashed down with the stones that had been prepared on the city wall for a long time, and lifted the hot dung juice and boiling oil and poured it down.

However, the expected screams under the city did not appear, and Lao Chongguang curiously approached the battlement, and took a closer look, but it turned out to be thieves under the city in groups of three or five, holding wooden planks and holding them above their heads, blocking most of the attacks from the city wall downward. Occasionally, a few thieves who climbed half the height of the city wall were smashed by the stones, planted and planted, and immediately screamed at the hot dung.

At this moment, a dense drum beat sounded on the opposite riverbank. Then, the thieves not far from the vicinity of Lu's bus shrank together as if they had been trained, with planks on their heads.

Seeing this scene, Lao Chongguang didn't know what the thief had in mind, and hurriedly shouted: "Be careful of the poisonous water on your head." ”

Before the words fell, four copper pipes under the Lu bus stretched out at the same time, and a large stream of poisonous water spurted out of the copper pipe, rushing to the sky above the city wall like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and then fell.

Many Qing soldiers in the vicinity, especially the thinly dressed villagers, were stained with poisonous water and screamed miserably, and the city was in chaos. There are more than ten villagers, hearing Lao Chongguang's shout, looking up at the sky curiously, unfortunately their faces are poisoned, and their faces are steaming hot for a while, and they are scorched black. Both eyes were completely blind, his hands were frantically scratching his face, and he jumped from the city in pain, the situation was so miserable that Lao Chongguang, who had long been accustomed to the tragedy of the battlefield, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, only to feel that his back seemed to hurt again.

The artillery of the bandits on the opposite side was probably afraid of injuring the thieves under the city, so they stopped attacking, leaving only two rows of shotgunners squatting on the bank of the river to shoot at the people who were on the wall.

More than 100 Qing soldiers and hundreds of villagers were damaged on the city wall, and Lao Chongguang and Liu Changqing hurriedly ordered people to urge the regimental training in the city to send more regimental training to the city wall, ready to fight with the thieves.

Sure enough, Lao Chongguang saw the thieves under the city throw away the wooden planks in their hands, and even more fiercely held the card knife, climbed up the ladder, and attacked the city.

However, to Lo's surprise, one of the vertical logs of the two ladders slowly turned black in the middle, and then suddenly broke, causing the climbing thieves to fall off the corner. Why does the ladder turn black and break? Lo Chongguang didn't know why. But he suddenly thought that the faces just now were stained with poisonous water, and they also turned black, and he suddenly came back to his senses. It's caused by poisonous water!

The poisonous water was also poisonous to the wood, which scorched the wood, so the ladder broke.

When I turned my head again, the two giant Lu buses were already leaning against the city gate!

Lao Chongguang reacted immediately! This thief is really a trick!

What kind of shelling, what kind of shotguns, and what desperately erect ladders to climb the city wall to siege the city, all attract the attention of the defenders at the head of the city, and the real calculation of the bandits is still this Lu bus, this poisonous water, and this city gate made of hardwood! If he hadn't accidentally discovered that the wood of the two ladders was black and broken, he would have been deceived.

"Liu Junmen! Quickly ordered the villagers in the city to block the south gate with bricks and stones, and the other two side gates should also be blocked, and the thief army is breaking the city gate with poisonous water! ”

"Lord Futai, what do you say I don't understand?"

"Liu Junmen, I don't have time to explain. Swift Order! It's too late. Lao Chongguang turned his head and said to a guard: "You quickly go down to the city tower and go to the head of the Long Tuan of the General Bureau of League Training, just say that Ben Fu said it, and order him to lead people to block the south gate quickly." ”

Seeing that Liu Changqing had ordered someone to pass the order, Lao Chongguang instructed him to guard the city well, so he also went down to the city under the escort of his own guards. Although he had already ordered someone to seal the city gate, he was still not very relieved, so he personally went down to the city to urge the south gate to be blocked as soon as possible.

The door opening of the south gate is the arch structure of the stone wall, built with rectangular stone, slightly applied mortar, the inner tamping fill, the door hole is two zhang high, five zhang deep.

Lao Chongguang came to the doorway, but saw that there was no sign of blackening inside the city gate, but he heard a knock on the city gate, and the secret passage was really the idea of hitting the city gate. Hurriedly urged Xiang Yong to hurry up and transport stones and bricks to build a dead doorway.

There are a lot of villagers in the city, and after a while, the bricks and stones removed from the houses in the city will be transported to the door hole, more than ten people take turns to pile up, and for half an hour, two layers of masonry have been sealed behind the city gate.

Lao Chongguang secretly sighed, but fortunately, he found it in time and was still in time.

As soon as he turned around this thought, the gate snorted and was pierced by a spear. Through the cracks in the bricks and stones, the villagers saw that the city gate had turned black at some point, and then, like the ashes at the bottom of the pot, it was gently swept away, and all of them shattered to the ground, like burned black carbon. But I saw that under a huge Lu bus outside the city, dozens of people were about to rush into the city gate, and found that the city had been blocked by a brick wall.

Lao Chongguang was busy with Xiang Yong to speed up and quickly block all the inner door holes to prevent the new brick wall from being unstable and collapsing by the thieves.

I didn't expect the situation to be so critical, if I slower a stick of incense, I am afraid that this Guilin City has been captured by the thief army at this moment! Lao Chongguang's heart was pounding, and a feeling like the aftermath of the catastrophe came to his heart.

Except for the south gate, all the other city gates that can be reached by the Lu bus of the thief army must be sealed immediately!

After making up his mind, Lao Chong couldn't patronize the pain in his back, so he hurriedly summoned several guards and ordered them to send orders to all the guards and regiments of the city gates in the city to block the city gates.

He himself was carried by the villagers in a sedan chair and hurried to the north of the city where the killing shouts sounded.
