Huang San was assigned to duty on the city wall today.
It was almost dawn, and this was the sleepiest time of the day. Huang San was sleepy, but he didn't dare to sleep.
In order to keep himself awake than others, he put a cocklebur in his shoe.
This is a prickly grass fruit that becomes very hard when it dries up.
Whenever he felt extremely sleepy, he would kick the sandbag with his feet and the pain would wake him up.
He clearly knows that if a person wants to get ahead and climb up, he must endure hardships that others cannot endure and achieve results that others cannot. Otherwise, why would opportunities fall on you?
He was just a refugee, without a home or a job, and no one would take care of him when he starved to death. He was hired as an exception because of his good physical condition. He was already very content, and he didn't expect that he would be given the opportunity to join the team for training.
When Tuan Lian replenished soldiers from the mine selection, he saw that half of the upper and lower battalions died within three days of going up. Many workers who had previously envied Tuan Lian's good treatment gave up.
Huang San is not afraid. When he was persecuted by Mr. Huang and his family was destroyed, he was not afraid of anything. He always remembers the night he escaped, what he said when he turned back to Grandpa Huang's big house, "I, Huang San
Will come back”
He decisively signed up to participate in group training. For someone like him who has no family, group training is not required. If too many people died in the war, how could he get his turn.
His greatest advantage is his self-awareness.
Don’t you know how you joined the team for training? This is a temporary measure under special circumstances.
Will soldiers who come here like this last long? Will they be dismissed when the crisis is over?
If I want to gain a foothold in group training and develop further, do I have to give an explanation to Mr. Yang?
Huang San cherishes the opportunity to serve as a soldier very much. Yesterday he killed a cavalry and two bandits and received a reward of twenty guan. He planned that since his whole family was almost dead, he would be the only one left.
, when he settles down, he will marry a daughter-in-law and pass on the family line to his ancestors. This money is enough to marry a strong country girl.
At the same time, we should also leave our family members to Mr. Yang so that Mr. Yang can rest assured.
Opportunity always favors those who are prepared.
Just as Huang San kicked the sandbag to clear his head, he heard a rustling sound. He popped his head suspiciously to observe. It was pitch black outside and he couldn't see anything.
The darkness before dawn is the real darkness.
It's like the lowest point in life.
He just retracted his head, and soon there was a rustling sound again.
Huang San didn't know what the sound was, and he didn't dare to call the police. If he left a rough impression on his superiors, it would be difficult to change it in the future.
He knows very well that the biggest law in this world is the opinion of your superiors and others.
Once an opinion is formed, it is extremely difficult to change.
I finally came to a new world, and everything started from scratch. I would never dare to do anything like Meng Lang.
After thinking about it, Huang San gritted his teeth and took off his coat. His mother had made it for him. He suppressed the reluctance in his heart and said silently, "Mom, your spirit in heaven will bless your son," and then he spread this little coat flat on the ground.
, wrap it with a stone, wrap it in several layers repeatedly, sprinkle some gunpowder on each layer, and tie it up repeatedly with a rope.
Carefully use a fire to fold the piece, light the corners, and throw it up to the sky with a rope.
He has been herding sheep since he was a child and has become very skilled in throwing rocks with a rope.
It can be seen that if you know more about your skills, you will really be able to excel in your art without stressing your body.
The ball of clothing flew into the sky, then burst into flames with a roar.
The gunpowder burned very quickly, emitting a dazzling light, and a very large area under the city was illuminated like daylight.
At this moment, Huang San saw groups of bandits carefully cutting wood piles with saws, and a large piece of barbed wire had been knocked down.
In the distance, there was a tall carriage with Tatars standing on each floor, watching eagerly.
Behind are a series of military formations.
Huang San suddenly felt an imminent crisis, and hurriedly shrank his head, as an eagle-feather arrow flew past his scalp.
Huang Sanyi rolled to the ground, grabbed the gong, and banged it. In the quiet night, the huge sound of the gong suddenly filled the whole place.
Yang Fan jumped up and shouted: "Light a fire and throw the torch out."
If the gong is sounded at this time, the enemy must be coming.
Everyone woke up, the sound of gongs was heard everywhere, a large number of torches flew to the city in an arc, and the city was suddenly exposed to the flickering light of the fire.
Yang Fan looked outside and gasped. He understood immediately that the city wall could not be defended. Ten construction trucks had already reached the edge of the moat, and ten trench-filling trucks had already erected tall wooden boards. At any time,
Prepare to lay it down on the city trench, then push the cart over, and the enemy can go directly to the city wall.
"Light the smoke, hurry up!" Yang Fan had to send a signal to the two battalions lurking behind the enemy's rear, asking Zhang Gada to attack the enemy's rear. However, Zhang Gada was ten miles away, and I'm afraid the water from far away could not quench his thirst.
"Send the gunpowder bag, quickly, throw down the gunpowder bag." Yang Fan shouted.
Yesterday, everyone was exhausted and slept soundly. There were only two hundred people on the city wall. I thought that after the enemy was defeated, they would rest for two days before continuing the attack. Unexpectedly, they were waiting for this opportunity on purpose.
Groups of regiment training and guard soldiers ran towards the city wall.
When Huang San heard Master Yang's order, he immediately appeared in front of Master Yang and shouted, "Huang San obeys the order!"
As he spoke, he used a sling to hold a gunpowder bag, lit it, and flicked it violently.
The gunpowder bag drew an arc and landed accurately on the third floor of a carriage. Just like when he was herding sheep at home, he used stones and slings to drive the sheep away, hitting where he pointed.
Boom! A violent explosion sounded on the carriage. The man commanding the carriage was none other than Niu Luerzhen. More than twenty Tatars were blown up directly. The entire carriage was burned into a torch under the high temperature of the explosion.
This suddenly illuminated the entire battlefield.
"Okay, great job, what's your name?" Yang Fan excitedly patted Huang San on the shoulder.
"Sir, the younger one's name is Huang San." He didn't call me sir, on purpose.
He understands that if you want to get ahead, you must not act stupidly, but you must be capable and able to speak. Otherwise, if you work for ten years, you may not be as good as someone saying a word in front of the boss.
"Okay, you will be my servant from today on." Yang Fan looked at Huang San with admiration. This guy is not only capable, but also smart and good at talking. You might as well give him a chance. Opportunities must be given to those who cherish them.
Huang San was trembling with excitement. Opportunities in life often come unexpectedly, but this flash of light is often the result of countless efforts in the darkness.
"Huang San is willing to go through fire and water for the master." Huang San bowed his head. He had been waiting for this day for too long.
"Donkey Dan, Huang San will follow you from now on," Yang Fan said to Donkey Dan who just ran up.
"Here, sir"
"Give me the order, prepare for street fighting, and handle it according to the previous plan."
"Here!"
"However, we can't give them such an advantage. Is my advantage so easy to take advantage of? If you want to take over the city wall, you have to pay for it with your life."
At this time, the bandits and slaves below the city had already broken down. Since the sneak attack failed, let's attack openly. Anyway, the arrow was already ready.
At this time, Abdul Bayan gently waved his hand.
In front of him, the ten bronze cannons covered with tarpaulins had their cannon jackets removed.
The cyan bronze cannon clearly bears the inscriptions from the time of casting.
It was built under the supervision of Xuanfu Town in the fifteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.
