Chapter 1787: The magistrate who sticks to the city wall
"County Master, just let him go?" He Dianshi looked at the master's back as he walked away, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The county magistrate snorted coldly and said, "A person like this is unfaithful and unrighteous, is useless for scholars, and he doesn't need to pay attention to it. Now the four gates in the city are closed, so he can't leave the city."
He Dianshi then withdrew his gaze.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of cannons outside the city suddenly rang out.
The county magistrate and He Dianshi were not aware of it for a moment, and were so shocked by the sound of cannons that they hurriedly crouched behind the female wall to hide.
"Where is the door panel? You didn't ask someone to prepare the door panel, why haven't you sent it here yet?" the county magistrate shouted at He Dianshi who was squatting beside him with a ugly expression.
He Dianshi also looked in the direction of the horse path with a bad face.
Seeing that no one was sending the door panels and quilts to the city walls of the defensive cannons on the direction of the horse road, he had to explain: "Don't worry about the county magistrate, I believe that the people who are preparing these things should be back soon."
"Don't make excuses in front of me. You must understand what things without anti-cannons can resist the attack of bandits. Now, go and find the door panels, quilts and other things for me." The county magistrate's back was against the female wall, and his face was gloomy.
When he felt the shelling for the first time, he felt his legs weak and his ears were still buzzing with the sound of the cannon.
"Yes, the lower official will urge them now." He Dianshi moved his body out, trying to stand up.
At this time, the county magistrate said with a cold face: "It's not that you go and urge it, you have to get the things."
"Yes, yes, yes." He Dianshi nodded repeatedly to agree, but his feet were still weak. He could not stand up several times, but he almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the county magistrate snorted coldly and said, "Let others do it, just stay on the city wall!"
Seeing the other party so incompetent, I was wondering whether such a person was suitable as the head general who defended the city.
However, he understood in his heart.
The other party can be the guard general, but he is completely a tall man from a short man. There is really no more suitable candidate in Shouyang City.
"Here, come, we're all the things that defend against cannons are back."
Before he could arrange for someone to go, He Dianshi noticed that many people were carrying door panels and quilts on the city wall in the direction of the horse road.
The county magistrate turned his head and looked over, noticed it and said to him: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go over and arrange it quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes." He Dianshi agreed repeatedly, stood up with the female wall, and then quickly walked towards the guards carrying door panels and quilts.
As he approached, he shouted, "Hurry up, get everything ready, the bandits are firing."
He kept walking forward under his feet.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of cannons outside the city sounded again, and this time the sound of cannons was obviously much more than the sound of cannons just now.
Several cannons fell from the sky, and the county magistrate was so scared that he hurriedly hugged his head behind the female wall.
When the cannon stopped, he raised his head.
The defenders on the city wall were already in chaos, and wailing sounds came from time to time in my ears.
Not far away in front of him, a headless corpse was lying on the ground with its back facing upwards, with blood flowing near its neck, and a geese-ling knife that had not yet been unsheathed was left beside it.
The headless corpse's clothes made him look very familiar, which was He Dianshi who had just left.
"Hurry, go and take the door panel and quilt over."
As soon as He Dianshi died, there was no chief general in the city. The county magistrate knew that he wanted to prevent the guards on the city wall from being in chaos, so he could only take over He Dianshi's stall and defend the city himself.
Although this was his first time defending the city, I believe that as a civil servant, he had read some military books, and he was better than the dead He Dianshi.
When the county magistrate saw that no one moved, he looked back.
Several yamen runners who came to the yamen on the city wall with him were shaking on the ground.
Seeing this, the county magistrate kicked the nearest person in anger and ordered, "Why are you doing when you are standing there? If you don't want to die, hurry up and get the quilt on the door panel."
"You'll go, go, go." The kicked yamen runner got up from behind the female wall in fear, looked out through the cliff secretly, then leaned on the ground with his butt sticking out again, screaming in surprise, "Oh my god! It's coming again."
The county magistrate was so angry that he wanted to kick the other party.
But at this moment, the sound of cannons came in his ears, which scared him so much that he hurriedly lay on the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of cannon sounded, blue bricks and gravel on the outer wall of the city wall splashed, and many guards on the city wall suffered cannons and lost several lives on the spot.
Several guards who had already obtained the door panel and quilt were not safe. After the cannon fell, the door panel was broken into several pieces. The guards who were hiding below injured several times and died.
"Big, Master, run away quickly. The bandits' cannons are so powerful that we can't stop them." A yamen runner stuttered in his mouth.
The county magistrate with a panic expression hesitated for a moment before saying, "You can't leave, no one can leave. Once I leave, the guards on the city will also escape. Shouyang City cannot be lost, and you must never lose."
After several shellings outside the city, a civil servant had never seen this situation, and he had long wanted to escape back to the city.
However, he understood even more that it was easy for him to escape back. If no one was in charge of the guards on the city wall, the city wall would be lost. Even if he returned to the city, it would not be safe, unless the dead He Dianshi could survive and leave the city wall to command the enemy for him.
"Master, the bandit's cannon is so powerful. Many people have died. Let's continue to stay. I'm afraid that you will hurt you, Master." The yamen runners on the side hurriedly persuaded him when they saw that the county magistrate refused to leave.
"The young man is willing to protect the master and promise to send you back to the city safely."
They are just yamen runners who work in the yamen, and they really can't do the task of guarding the city.
The county magistrate knew what these yamen runners were worried about, so he said, "Use door panels and quilts to block the thieves' cannons. You guys go over and find a few door panels and quilts to come over. If you hide below, you don't have to worry about the thieves' cannons."
"Master, the thief's cannon is powerful and cannot be blocked by only the door panel and the quilt." The yamen runner secretly looked at the door panel that was broken into several pieces not far away.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, another yamen runner next to him hit the other party with his arms.
At the same time, I heard the yamen runner say, "The master told us to do whatever we want, so there is so much nonsense. You guys, follow me, let's find a few door panels and quilts to come back."
As he said that, he winked at the other yamen runners and took the lead in rushing forward.
The yamen runners behind were also not slow and followed closely behind.
The county magistrate was very satisfied with the yamen runner who had just stood on his side and talked. He thought that he would defeat the bandits and promote them well, and stay by his side to reuse them.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The roaring cannon sounded, and the county magistrate hurriedly tightened his body behind the female wall.
