Chapter 12
The battle was fierce, iron cannons and ladders were used, and explosives were blown over the city wall, but to no avail.
Jiang Biaotong's green battalion, with its strong castle and numerous Mauser guns, repeatedly beat back the brothers who had forced up the city walls.
At daybreak, there were no less than 100 casualties, and the commander of the 3rd Road, Bai Baihe, was also seriously wounded.
The south gate was beaten so violently, but the west gate and the old north gate couldn't hear the movement, which made Xia Gu suspicious.
It was the militia of the Lianzhuang Association that hit Ximen, and they played the same flag as Xiagu, but they were not all the way, so it was not strange to play a little slippery; It was Li Shuangyin's brother on West 2nd Road who hit the old north gate, and it would be strange if Li Erye didn't fight. Besides, the north gate is guarding the city by the patrol battalion, and the patrol battalion also has its own internal line, which is easier to fight than the south gate.
Only then did Aunt Xia send two brothers to the West Gate and the Old North Gate respectively to give orders, asking Lianzhuang Hui and Li Erye to fight and echo the South Gate.
Unexpectedly, the two brothers who gave the order came back and said that the patrol battalion guarding the West Gate and the Old North Gate had expressed their attitude and promised neutrality, so Second Master Li asked if he wanted to pull the No. 800 brothers on the West Second Road to the South Gate to help Aunt Xia and Grandma fight the old fort at the South Gate.
Aunt Xia became angry when she heard this, and waved the gun in her hand and scolded: "Li Shuangyin is a bastard and a fool!" The two armies are facing each other, how can there be neutrality?! The neutrality of the patrol battalion is fake, and it is true that the city gate is guarded without firing a shot! You let this dog's day send someone over, just stare at the old north gate! Dead Fight! ”
Less than half an hour later, the brother who ordered the herald came back again, saying that Li Erye had gone up to the city of the old north gate in a hanging basket, and took him to the money management to discuss the verdict......
Xia Gu was dumbfounded, stunned for a long time without speaking, and then stomped her feet, not caring about the fourth round of siege that was being organized in front of her, and Lama wanted to go to the old north gate.
However, at this critical time, Aunt Xia, who jumped on the horse, was condescending, and saw Bian Yifu, the general contact of her own protection, and she had an idea, so she thought of sending Bian Yifu to go to the old north gate instead of her.
Bian Yifu was boiling with blood at this moment, but he had nothing to do,—— not that he didn't want to do it, but that Aunt Xia looked down on him, didn't treat him as a person, and didn't let him do anything. So, he had to hold a worn-out brass single-tube telescope and watch the battle with Wang Sanshun.
The battle was not a pleasant sight.
Wang Sanshun was a thief, always trying to plot the telescope in his hand, and tried to be equal with him, and openly proposed: This telescope should be watched by one person for a while, not just by him and Yifu alone.
Bian Yifu was very angry and said, "What do you look at? You don't know how to siege a city! ”
Wang Sanshun said: "Do you understand?" If you understand, why don't you go and attack the city?! Just look here? ”
Bian Yifu said: "I just don't understand, and I'm also the general contact!" If I don't see it clearly, how can I contact him? ”
Wang Sanshun is still unconvinced: "Now it's all like this, and it's a fart!" He also said: "Don't pick up a chicken feather as an arrow, Aunt Xia and Grandma Xia will give you the name of the general contact, and they will just coax you to play!" ”
Bian Yifu was so annoyed that he was about to send a temper of the old man and the general contact, but Aunt Xia had already ridden over, shook her hand and whipped, knocked down the telescope in Bian Yifu's hand, strangled the front hooves and raised the red-maned horse that was neighing, and ordered Bian Yifu: "Don't you want to lead the troops on a dog day?" Hurry up and get on my horse to the old north gate, and temporarily command Li Shuangyin's West Second Road! ”
The opportunity to lead the troops really came, but Bian Yifu felt very stunned, and asked Aunt Xia with a raised face: "I'm going, what ...... So what is Second Master Li doing? ”
Aunt Xia gritted her teeth and scolded: "This bastard of the dog day is dead!" ”
Bian Yifu wondered: "The old north gate hasn't been connected to the fire yet, why will Second Master Li die?" ”
Aunt Xia was already anxious, and she didn't have the patience to explain at all, so she only said to Bian Yifu: "Are you going to go for dog days?" If you don't go, I'll go myself! ”
Bian Yifu hurriedly said: "Sister Xia, don't worry, I'll go, I'll go immediately!" ”
The whip in Xia Gu's hand pointed at Wang Sanshun's head: "And you, go with my brother Bian!" ”
Wang Sanshun thought that it was none of his business, so he had quietly picked up the telescope from the ground, and was having a good dream of owning the telescope exclusively.
But he couldn't help but go, and Wang Sanshun responded immediately.
When Bian Yifu and Wang Sanshun got on the horse, Aunt Xia finally explained: "As soon as you go over, you have to let the old north gate move, and the west gate also has to move!" ”
Bian Yifu said: "Sister Xia, don't worry, if I go, it will move over there!" ”
Thinking that he was going to command all the way, but he didn't have a weapon in his hand, Bian Yifu said again, "Is there a guy, give me a hand!" Or you can't stop people! ”
Aunt Xia rode on a horse and looked around, and saw that a brother with a foreign knife was the closest, so she asked for the brother's foreign knife and threw it to Bian Yifu.
Bian Yifu held the knife in his hand, still not satisfied,—— he had taken a fancy to the Mauser fast gun in Xiagu's hand, but Xiagu didn't say it, so he didn't want to force it, and after a little hesitation, he and Wang Sanshun rode away together.
went all the way to the old north gate, Bian Yifu didn't think much about attacking the city, but he always thought about the majesty he was about to show.
Therefore, not far from the south gate, he asked Wang Sanshun to dismount with him and help him sort out the majesty on his body.
The foreign knife has a sheath, and it must be carried, but it is not clear whether it should be carried on the left or the right.
Bian Yifu didn't dare to ask Wang Sanshun, and when he asked, he seemed to be shallow, and he didn't ask, but he was afraid that he would go in the wrong direction and be laughed at by the brothers under Li Erye.
So, Bian Yifu said: "Sanshun, now, I'm going to test you: do you think this foreign knife should be carried on the left or right?" ”
Wang Sanshun didn't think about it and said, "Master Bian, do you still need to take the test?" Shoulder right! ”
Bian Yifu nodded: "Well, that's good!" ”
So he put the knife on the right side of his body, but he tried to pull the knife, and found that it was very uncomfortable,—— it was the right hand that made the knife, and the knife was carried on the right side, and he was in a trance.
But looking at Wang Sanshun's firm gaze, the suspicion was dispelled.
After carrying a foreign knife, he still didn't think it was majestic enough, so he snatched the brass telescope that was still in Wang Sanshun's hand, tied it with a cloth belt, and hung it under his neck.
Wang Sanshun was very aggrieved, and he didn't dare to compete with his master, so he said: "Master Bian, you are the only one who dares to love this battle, and it will be superfluous for me to follow you again, I ...... I'd better go back to Aunt Xia at Nanmen! ”
Bian Yifu put on the foreign knife and hung the binoculars around his neck, he was psychologically satisfied, and his attitude was naturally surprisingly good, pointing at Wang Sanshun's nose and smiling: "...... Look at you, look at you, you're being cautious again, right? Don't go back, you have to follow me, I'm commanding all the way now, it's the time to employ people! ”
Wang Sanshun asked his master painfully: "What are you using me?!" ”
Bian Yifu said: "Now I have wronged you, use you as my guard and herald, and open Xinhong City, I will use you as a ...... Do ,—— Sanshun, say it yourself, what do you want to do? ”
Wang Sanshun didn't know that Bian Yifu would be prosperous when he entered the city, thinking that after opening Xinhong City, Bian Yifu would not be able to do anything, so he hoped to do something, so he said: "I don't want to do anything, I just want you to give me the telescope." ”
Bian Yifu said: "Okay! ”
Wang Sanshun was still not at ease, and climbed to the horse and still asked, "Have you done the master?" ”
Bian Yifu said: "Lao Tzu is now the chief liaison officer, can't the master do this?!" ”
After that, he decided to stop talking to Wang Sanshun, raised his binoculars, first looked at the south of the city where the guns were roaring, then turned his head and glanced in the direction of the old north gate, and then said to Wang Sanshun very seriously: "Sanshun, let's go quickly, the ancients are cloudy, and the soldiers are fast!" Now that Second Master Li is dead, I don't know what the chaos is like on West Second Road! ”
