…………………………………………………………
When the enemy invaded the border, the beacon tower naturally ignited the beacon tower. Because it rained some time ago, there was no wolf manure on the top of the inner beacon tower, so I was afraid of getting wet. The most important thing is that during this period, the border was peaceful, so there was no wolf manure on the top of the inner beacon tower. Now I have to carry the wolf manure to the top of the inner beacon tower. However, if a person carries the wolf manure on the top of the beacon tower, it will naturally be a mistake.
When Liu Fang saw Zhang Biwu looking expectant, he was below. At this time, Qin Dongsheng also appeared next to Zhang Biwu. He loudly ordered: "Zhang Biwu, Qin Dongsheng, use orange steak to raise the wolf manure to the top of the inner platform!"
"Yes!" Zhang Biwu gave a strong military salute, but it scared Liu Fang. Why is this kid excited? When fighting, his life will be out of control! If you can hide, you will hide! Do you still want to fight? Nervous! This is Liu Fang's idea. The lack of military spirit in military affairs is common in the Ming army.
After Liu Fangyi came into contact with Zhang Biwu's gaze, he was shocked. These eyes were full of desire and infinite fighting spirit. As a soldier who had lost his spirit for a long time, he should have fearless eyes. How could he regain the silly boy?
Zhang Biwu said happily: "Rise up! Bright the beacon! Ala!" "Ah?" Qin Dongsheng was stunned. Zhang Biwu was too innovative, right? The enemy attack was not a good thing for the Dun Army on the border. He was so excited?
Zhang Biwu brought the basket filled with wolf dung. Seeing Qin Dongsheng staring at him foolishly, he reminded: "Brother Qin, what are you doing? Lift the wolf dung to the top of the inner platform! Otherwise, Brother Liu will get angry!"
Qin Dongsheng woke up and nodded: "Okay!" Zhang Biwu and Qin Dongsheng used orange steak to lift the wolf manure in the basket to the stage.
While using orange steaks, Zhang Biwu repeated: "Raise the beacon! Hold your head proudly and make a name for yourself!" Zhang Biwu saw Qin Dongsheng stunned, and his strength could not keep up with him, so Zhang Biwu shouted: "Hurry up!" Qin Dongsheng smiled bitterly and had to do it.
A basket of wolf dung quickly rose to the top of the inner platform of the beacon tower. Liu Fang lifted the basket and put it on the inner platform. He had prepared all the wolf dung, sulfur, saltpeter, etc., and had to observe the outside to see how many enemies there were, and according to the regulations, they set off beacons and cannons.
The dust was flying, and unfortunately, the enemy appeared on the pier where Zhang Biwu was! Zhang Biwu was always paying attention to the situation outside, and he was the first to discover it.
Zhang Biwu was excited. Although the enemy was just a small dot in his eyes, these dots caused ripples in Zhang Biwu's heart.
Zhang Biwu thought to himself: "Okay! That's great! If I want to achieve success, I have to kill the enemy first! I must kill these enemies! But I have to notify others too! I can't take care of myself, after all, we are soldiers on the same pier, so we have to pay attention to the group!"
When Zhang Biwu thought about this, he naturally shouted at Liu Fang on the inner stage: "Brother Liu, be careful! The Jin Tartars are here!"
Liu Fang could see clearly how many enemy soldiers were. No matter how dangerous it was, he would have to ignite smoke and ignite beacon fire to warn him. There were less than a hundred enemies, and he would have to be a beacon and a gun according to regulations.
The ignited wolf smoke rises straight up into the air. Even if the wind blows, it cannot easily blow the wolf smoke.
Every five miles of piers ignited wolf smoke one after another. Looking down at the earth from the sky, the piers ignited were extremely spectacular. Moreover, the sound of cannons was one after another, one after another.
The beacon starts! The battle begins! The first one to attack is the invaders. The Tartar cavalry of the Jin Kingdom fired arrows at the pier. "Swish swish swish swish swish" arrows swelled like rain, causing Liu Fang and Lu Rongzhe to run down quickly. As long as they hide in the room, they will not have to be hurt.
The arrows shot to the outer walls of the beacon tower and the inner walls. The arrows could not be penetrated into the walls, and the arrows could only land because the beacon tower was built very strongly. Therefore, many arrows fell on the outer walls and the walls of the beacon tower.
Wang Yu shouted: "Get close! As long as you get close, I will shoot you to death!" At this time, Zhang Biwu and Qin Dongsheng also came over. Zhang Biwu could see clearly that the Jin cavalry all fired an arrow and drove the horse away, and they did not dare to get too close to the pier.
Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth with hatred. He knew that he could not leave the beacon tower, and once he left, he would become the prey of the enemy cavalry. The only thing they could rely on was the defense measures such as the beacon tower.
Zhang Biwu, who was determined to make meritorious deeds, was very anxious, but there was no way. The courage of an ordinary man was useless. "Oh!" Zhang Biwu let out a long sigh, and he agreed with Wang Yu's words just now: "As long as you get close, I will shoot you to death!"
After the Golden Cavalry shot a round of arrows at the pier, the cavalry stayed away from the pier and stood on standby.
When Zhang Biwu saw this situation, he couldn't help but think: "What are they doing? Why don't they attack? Do you have to retreat?" Qin Dongsheng didn't understand and said: "The Tartars in the Jin Kingdom have not violated the border for a long time. This time they suddenly violated the border. I wonder what their intentions are?"
Zhang Biwu stared at the Jin cavalry in a flash. Zhang Biwu was shouting in his heart: "Come here! Let me show my skills! I want everyone who looks down on me to look at me with admiration! Enemy, come here quickly!"
Although Zhang Biwu was crying in his heart, the Jin cavalry had stopped for a long time without taking action. The Jin cavalry knew that the Ming army would not rush out of the dock and fight against them. The Jin army's multiple southern outings scared the Ming army and feared the enemy like a tiger. The corruption within the Ming army made the Ming army no longer the mighty army that was terrifying.
After the Jin cavalry stopped for a long time, they slowly retreated.
Seeing this, Zhang Biwu was extremely disappointed. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He originally hoped that the Golden Cavalry would rush over, but he did not expect that he would retreat. Zhang Biwu could only watch the Golden Cavalry go away until he disappeared into his eyes.
When the Golden Cavalry comes to harass him during the day, he naturally cannot relax at night. Zhang Biwu and Qin Dongsheng arrange to patrol tonight to prevent the Golden Cavalry from attacking again.
Zhang Biwu was lying at the top of the inner platform. He looked up at the starry sky. During the day, he thought he could show his skills, but he didn't expect that he would be in vain.
Could it be that Zhang Biwu was willing to stay in the small beacon tower for a long time? No! The answer is no! Zhang Biwu must make achievements. If he wants to make a name for himself in troubled times and achieve great achievements, he naturally has to rely on force! Now the Ming Dynasty is a place where internal and external troubles are internally suppressed peasant army, and the Jin army is externally resisted, and is a place where he uses his strength.
Zhang Biwu felt relieved when he thought of this. Anyway, he had been waiting for the opportunity for so long, so he was not afraid of waiting any longer.
Just as Zhang Biwu was thinking, he heard the sound. Although he didn't sound loudly, he could hear it clearly, and they hurriedly got up. At the same time, Qin Dongsheng also noticed it and shouted: "Biwu! The enemy is coming again! Just like during the day, less than a hundred people! Hurry up! Fire up the beacon!"
The top of the inner platform was already full of firewood, so Zhang Biwu naturally burned the fire. When he looked again, the adjacent beacon tower was also in flames. The fire shone on the entire night sky, accompanied by a cannon.
The Jin cavalry, like during the day, did not approach the beacon tower, but just stopped in front of the beacon tower, as if they were reconnaissance or demonstration.
