"What! Do you want to keep watch until midnight? I only have less than sixty people left!" Hearing the captain's order, Li Dingguo almost became stupid. Tonight is the 15th, and the Tatars on the bright moon will never waste such a good thing.

The moon. Night battles are bound to happen. Sixty people guard a section of the village wall three hundred steps long. This is an almost impossible task.

"If you want someone, I'm the one." The captain stared.

Li Dingguo had no choice. He was a soldier with a poor background. The graves of the sentry commander's ancestors were already filled with thick smoke. Is the captain's father a lord or a marquis? Anyway, Li Dingguo didn't know which of the two titles was greater.

Anyway, one time the captain got drunk and boasted that even if the commander saw his father, he would have to respectfully call him Mr. Dazhen.

Seeing that Li Dingguo didn't speak, the captain took out three grenades from his arms and stuffed them into Li Dingguo's hand.

"Complete the task alive, and I will take you to have fun in the Qinhuai River. I will let you have a taste of what it means to be a thin horse in Yangzhou." Men's topics are always inseparable from women.

When the captain used to brag, he would always talk about the thin horses in Yangzhou. Several times, Li Dingguo was so greedy.

Li Dingguo walked up to Shi Dewei and sat down on the ground. He took out a steamed bun from the basket and started to eat it!

Huozhu was very stupid and served a bowl of rice soup to Li Dingguo, and Shi Dewei handed over the bowl with pickles.

Li Dingguo felt comfortable after taking a bite of the steamed bun. He is from Shaanxi and likes pasta the most. He has been living in Jiangnan for many years and hates rice. Now he finally has the opportunity to eat steamed buns. Even if he is going to die tonight, it will be worth it.

The salty radish strips "squeak" in your mouth, and a mouthful of steamed buns followed by a mouthful of porridge, this is what it feels like to be alive. The dead will never be able to eat anymore!

"The Captain said that we should stay on guard until midnight. These three hundred steps of the city wall are where we will die. Let's make a deal first. If I die, Dewei will take my place. As for Dewei..., you can arrest someone temporarily when the time comes.

Let's go." Li Dingguo was eating steamed buns and salted radish while talking to the big guys.

He spoke very calmly, as if he was explaining what to eat tomorrow morning.

No one spoke. The recruits moved the gunpowder to the corner so that they could load the ammunition under the cover of the wall. The veterans gathered around the ammunition box to break up the grenades. The whole process was very quiet. You and I distributed it evenly. No one thought

If you want to grab one more, of course they won't do it if you get less points.

"Stay for another three days, and Marshal Li's troops will arrive." Shi Dewei suddenly said something. Everyone's eyes lit up, and some looked to the south, with distant eyes that seemed to be able to see through thousands of mountains and rivers.

"It's really long, really!" Huo Zhu stared at Stewie.

"Get out!" Stewie kicked the fire pillar and leaned against the wall to rest with his eyes closed.

God knows whether Marshal Li will come. Shi Dewei is not worried about what will happen in three days. He is more concerned about whether he can live to see the sun tomorrow.

The moon climbed up the mountain. It was very round and very big. With its bright yellow light, it brought light to this world shrouded in darkness.

Stewie has never hated the moon so much, especially this big, round, damn bright moon.

Not even two minutes after he closed his eyes, the sound of cannons that shook the earth rang out from the opposite side. Without even thinking about it, Stewie lay down on the city wall. He also pulled a shield and put it directly on his head.

The shooting distance was too far, which seriously interfered with the shooting accuracy. The cannonballs still either flew into the city by grazing their heads, or fell under the city wall. There were very few that actually hit the city wall.

Every time a cannonball hit the city wall, Stewie felt the city wall beat a little. His chest felt stuffy from the shock, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

The earth blown up by the cannonball hit the shield with a "bang" and "bang" sound. Stewie felt very proud. Without this shield, he would have either been disgraced or his head would have been broken and bloody by the gravel.

As soon as the sound of exploding shells stopped, Stewie threw down his shield and shouted: "Fire Pillar, are you fucking dead?"

"I'm fine!" Fire Pillar's voice was at Stewie's feet.

This guy already had some experience in hiding from cannons, and his whole body wanted to squeeze into the wall. When Stewie called him, he didn't forget to hand over the loaded blunderbuss.

Stewie took advantage of the moonlight, poked his head out, and quickly retracted it. He didn't know how many bullets hit the battlement on his back, causing gravel to fly everywhere. Stewie lay down on the wall again, not even daring to raise his head.

.

The Tatar soldiers below were densely packed, with a total of one or two thousand people. Countless muskets were pointed at the city wall, and as long as someone poked his head in, there would be a dense rain of bullets. Many people were slow to react, and their heads were hit by bullets.

Watermelon fell to the ground.

"Fuck it, shoot! Shoot!" At this time, you can't stick your head out to shoot. As long as your head is exposed above the battlements, bullets will definitely find it.

Li Dingguo also lay on the city wall and did not dare to move. Almost in an instant, more than a dozen veterans were killed under him. This section of the city wall was obviously the focus of the enemy's care. There were so many Tatar soldiers below that he didn't even know there were any

How many people.

Just when Stewie was cursing his mother, suddenly a sparkling object fell in front of him, bounced twice and rolled around on the ground. Stewie picked up the thing like crazy, raised his hand and threw it out.

These damn grenades are from the Tatar soldiers. Their grenades do not have a trigger device. They can only be lit with an open flame and then thrown up. However, how come these Tatar soldiers have so much strength? The grenades can be thrown onto the city wall.

.

Before Stewie could figure it out, explosions exploded one after another on the city wall. The air waves from the explosion rolled up smoke and dust, swallowing people up. The scattered shrapnel made people even more afraid to move. Stewie put the shield on his head again and saw

Huozhu held his head and tried his best to squeeze his body into the wall. He pulled the bastard and made him lie down with him.

I don’t know if this shield can block shrapnel, but it’s better than nothing.

The city wall was blown up like this, but the mortars in the city were not fired. Stewie didn't hear the sound of mortars for a long time, and his heart clicked, there must be no fucking shells.

Shi Kefa listened to the intensive explosions on the city wall and closed his eyes in pain. He had persisted here for eight days, with more than half of his troops suffering casualties, and now the shells were all gone. He felt that he had reached his limit!
