Soon after, in the city of Guangzhou, at the corner of a hundred meters away from the east city gate, a group of people suddenly appeared, except for the three people who were headed, the others were Qing soldiers with bird guns, and it was Na Yancheng, the governor of Liangguang, who walked in the forefront, and Zhao Shanqing and Sai Chong'a were on both sides. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Soon, the group arrived at the city gate, and despite the persuasion of the people on the left and right, Na Yancheng walked straight to the stairs and climbed towards the city wall.

"Lord Governor, you are a person of honorable status, you can't make a mistake!"

"What the Governor said is, Lord Governor, you are here to invite, or the last general will go to the city wall to check the military situation!"

Zhao Shanqing and Sai Chong saw that all persuasion was useless, so they had to shout at the surrounding soldiers: "Hurry up and keep up, protect the Governor, if the Governor makes a mistake, I will kill your dog!" ”

Under the protection of many soldiers, Na Yancheng came to the city wall, and with the help of the gap in the edge of the city wall, he popped up from time to time, and then quickly dodged and hid behind the city wall. With such observations, Na Yan was able to roughly figure out the situation of the enemy outside the city and some general information about the pirates.

Although the observation time was less than ten minutes, Na Yancheng was also shocked, surprised by the performance of the pirates outside, the movements were so neat and orderly, one team of people released the bird guns, followed by another team in the rear, so that the cycle was carried out, the movements were so smooth and natural, there were no gaps, and the firepower was kept continuous, so that the officers and soldiers on the city wall could not raise their heads, could not open their eyes, and could only blindly release their guns.

If it weren't for his own experience, seeing it with his own eyes, if someone else reported it, he would never believe it, how could the military quality of pirates be stronger than that of officers and soldiers? Still well trained?

Not only that, but just not far away, there are a large number of pirates waiting to enter the attack state at any time! Na Yancheng believed that if it weren't for the city wall as a barrier, his side would have been unable to defend it a long time ago, and the pirates would have attacked it a long time ago!

At this moment, a black shadow came to Na Yancheng's body, shrunk behind the city wall, hiding behind the city wall and not daring to raise his head. Na Yancheng only felt a trance, a black shadow flashed, and then he looked at it, it was Sai Chong'a, looking directly at him. Without any further hesitation, he immediately said a command that had just been born in his heart.

"General Sai, quickly mobilize the city defense battalion, come to support the east city gate, and drag it on, it will be difficult to hold the city gate with these officers and soldiers alone!"

"Yes, my lord, this is exactly what I mean in the future, and I have come to ask you for orders!"

Immediately, Na Yancheng reacted, quickly took out a tiger talisman from his waist, handed it over, and urged: "Go quickly, it won't last long here!" ”

As soon as Sai Chong Ah Gang left, Na Yancheng dodged quickly, glanced at the outside of the city, his face became more urgent, and ordered to the soldiers beside him: "Go, light the beacon tower, and ask for help from the nearby garrison!" ”

After the soldier fired a shot, he had just leaned his back against the city wall, and before he had time to catch his breath, he felt a little unhappy when he heard someone shouting to him, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was the governor who gave him an order, and he did not hesitate any longer, and did not dare to slander again, and immediately walked with a cat, lowered his posture as much as possible, and went towards the corner tower in the distance.

Soon, the various beacon towers on the east gate tower rose one after another with billowing black smoke, soaring into the sky, and then scattered.

I don't know when, when Na Yancheng led people to resist desperately at the east city gate, Sai Chong'a came quickly with the city defense battalion, and without any greeting, the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion immediately dispersed, densely spread on the city wall, and began to pull the trigger of the bird's gun.

With the addition of the new force of the city defense battalion, Na Yancheng's side immediately became prestigious, began to organize an effective counterattack, and gradually suppressed the rapid offensive of the pirates, and the situation was temporarily stabilized. Seeing that the situation had improved and gradually stabilized, and the balance of victory was tilting to their side, Na Yancheng and Sai Chong'a relaxed slightly, but before they could celebrate a few words, they heard an officer and soldier shouting: "Two adults, look! ”

From beginning to end, the nerves of both of them were in a tense state, and as soon as they heard this shout, in an instant, they nervously looked in the direction of the soldier's finger. I saw two clouds of black smoke billowing out, coming out from two places not far from the shore of the Pearl River, and the transpiration continued, but there was a tendency to intensify.

It was only a moment of effort, and as if he had thought of something, Saichong Aben blurted out and shouted: "It's not good, the pirates are doing something dark!" ”

With this shout, the surrounding officers and soldiers immediately looked over. Especially Na Yancheng, his face was puzzled, and he showed an inquiring look.

Sai Chong'a calmed down his mood a little, restrained his excitement, quickly organized his language, and pointed to the direction of the smoke billowing in two places, and then explained: "Your Excellency Governor, on that side is the direction of the Guangdong Customs Department, which contains a large amount of treasury silver and the emperor's silver, and on the other side is where the chief secretary and the grain road are located. If the pirates capture these two places, they will not only get a large amount of grain and silver, but also get the smuggled iron weapons seized by the Chief Secretary over the years! ”

"Once these two places are robbed, the power of the pirates will swell rapidly, and in the short term, there will be enough food and silver to support the recruits, and a large number of birds and cannons can be made, and the Guangzhou Mansion will be even more dangerous, and it will fall into a very dangerous situation!"

When Sai Chong Ah said that the two smoking places were the places where the Guangdong Customs Office and the Political Department and the grain road were located, Na Yancheng realized the seriousness of the problem. For the generals who crisscross the battlefield, how can they not understand the importance of food, grass and weapons? If you get a lot of weapons and food and grass, you will definitely be demoralized, and once your own food and grass and weapons and equipment fall into the hands of your opponent, the result is not difficult to imagine....

In a trance, Na Yancheng made a decision, and shouted: "Pass my order, immediately requisition all the treasury officials and yacha in the city, as temporary combat officers and soldiers, organize manpower, and go to rescue the two places!" ”

After all, Na Yancheng has many years of battlefield experience, although the order was issued in a somewhat hasty and urgent manner, and it was decided in a critical situation, but he was still rational, and did not immediately open the city to meet the battle, but sent officers and soldiers to each yamen, leaving a small number of personnel to garrison the city wall, not to let the pirates approach, and the others were all in strict formation, guarding behind the city gate, ready to rush out at any time, and at the same time waiting for the officials of the various prefectures and offices to be recruited, those who can go to the battlefield.

However, the reality is very cruel, things are not going well, when Na Yancheng saw the chaotic officials coming in a hurry, the gunfire outside the city has been dripping, I don't know how long it has been.

Looking at the undisciplined official in front of him, like a guerrilla scattered, standing without standing and looking lazy, Na Yancheng suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and couldn't help but imagine for a moment, if the pirates didn't retreat and took these people to support, what would it be like?

Sheep in the mouth of the tiger? Bite off more than one can chew? Unable to form an army? Fleeing in a hurry?

At this moment, Na Yancheng thought of a person, a person who made him resentful to the bone marrow, Sun Chuanmou, the governor of Guangzhou Water, and suddenly had a trace of understanding.

Na Yancheng didn't stay any longer, and didn't take a second look at those officials and officials, as if the spirit and spirit of his whole body had been drained away, he slowly took heavy steps, passed by the officials, and went in the direction of the governor's palace, his back was so gloomy and helpless.

Soon, the leader of an official servant walked a few steps quickly, came to the front of the officer and soldier guarding the door, and asked suspiciously: "Hey, brother, what is the matter with the governor?" Let's not go to the rescue of the Guangdong Customs Department and the Department of Administration and the grain road? ”

The officer and soldier glanced at the official and said unhappily: "After so much time, the pirates have already captured those two places. You go up to the city and take a look, the pirate's ship is still on the water of the Pearl River, you can vaguely see it, you say, what's wrong with the governor? ”

Seeing that the officers and soldiers guarding the gate didn't want to pay attention to themselves, they looked very dissatisfied, and the officials didn't want to find it fast, so they didn't ask very interestingly, and seemed to realize something, and returned to the team a little embarrassed, waiting, but still muttered quietly.

"We are just officials and officials, not soldiers in the war, we are late, the pirates ran away, and robbed two yamen, and we didn't get it." (To be continued.) )
