Chapter 218 General Li is Back
The sound of gunfire was heard by many civilians in the city, and Tian Xing'er and the others also heard it, but they could not see the specific situation outside the city. Then they heard countless soldiers on the city wall cheering.
"Open the city and fight back." General Gao suddenly shouted.
The guards under the city wall immediately prepared to open the city gate. Unknowingly, countless soldiers appeared at the city gate.
As soon as the city gate opened, everyone rushed out.
"Charge... Kill..."
Shouts of killing rang out, and Tian Zhenwei and his men quickly ran to the middle of the road and looked at the open city gate in the distance. They saw a dark mass of their own people, as if they were unilaterally slaughtering the other side.
Because the war situation was tense, Zhao Shi and his men quickly ordered Tian Xing'er and others to leave and not let them stay here even though there was no danger.
Tian Xing'er and his group were driven too far away to see anything, and could only hear some shouts and screams, but the sounds were too quiet to make out the details.
Everyone was very nervous and hoped that this battle could be successful in repelling the enemy.
Another night of anxious waiting, but unexpectedly, in the second half of the night, I heard excited voices coming from outside the city.
"Brother, did you hear that? Are they back? I think I heard cheers."
"Yes, I heard it too."
"Yes, yes, I'll go take a look, you guys wait." Tian Zhenwei happily picked up his weapon, stood up and prepared to go out.
"Let's go too. The battle must have been won. I want to see it with my own eyes." Tian Xing'er didn't want to wait here foolishly. She wanted to go and see too.
"Let's all go, no need to argue. Uncle Zhenwei, please wait for a moment." Tian Yuheng said happily.
Soon they appeared near the city gate again. This time no one stopped them. The battle was fought so beautifully that they suffered almost no casualties.
The soldiers entered the city together, singing triumphal songs, with smiles on their faces.
"We won, we really won." Someone shouted.
Tian Xinger turned around and saw that many people had gathered around them. Many of them came over, and many of them were holding torches. For a moment, it was like a starry sky, and at that moment it seemed that everything was beautiful.
"Hahaha, Mr. Tian Er, Miss Tian Da, thank you so much. Let's go back together."
Just as Tian Xing'er was still looking at the people behind her, Deputy General Gao came over and pulled them out of the crowd.
Just like that, Tian Xing'er and the others followed Deputy General Gao and others to welcome the cheers of the people. That was a scene she had never seen before. At this moment, Tian Xing'er felt that she had contributed to this beating and she deserved it.
Along the way, listening to Deputy General Gao's thanks and the people's cheers, Tian Xing'er's face almost froze with smiles.
In the evening, Deputy General Gao and his men held a celebration banquet. Tian Xing'er and his men also joined them. There was a bonfire, good wine, and military generals wielding swords to cheer everyone up. It was a very lively scene.
The next day, Tian Xing'er slept until noon before waking up. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, she heard Baozhu say that there was new noise outside.
"Miss, General Li has returned to the city, and everyone is going to welcome him now."
"Is that General Li Yun? Are they back too?"
"Yes, I'm back. The second young master has already gone there. He told you not to worry. He will remember to mention the artillery issue."
"My second brother is still reliable." Tian Xing'er couldn't help but sigh that her second brother was very meticulous in doing things. He slept so late last night, but still got up early in the morning and remembered to give instructions to her. Everything was in order.
After Tian Xing'er had breakfast, she heard someone who had just returned from the general's camp say that her second brother would not be back until noon after having lunch.
Tian Xing'er could only take people for a walk in the city out of boredom.
She had heard what happened yesterday from Deputy General Gao, but she still wanted to see if she had a chance to go outside the city and take a look.
But he didn't expect that he would be stopped by the soldiers guarding the city as soon as he arrived at the city gate.
"Stop and don't go out. Go back quickly."
"Big brother, I am a friend of Deputy General Gao and his men. We marched with Deputy General Gao yesterday. You don't remember me, right? We are from the Tian family. And I just want to go out and see what's going on outside."
"I'm sorry, Miss Tian, but our general has ordered that no one can go out now. We have to wait until all the bodies outside are dealt with to avoid causing plague in the city. Miss Tian, please go back quickly."
From the other party's reply, it seemed that he knew her, and there were many corpses after the beating yesterday. It seemed that there was indeed an inside story why she could not go out. Tian Xing'er did not make things difficult for the other party anymore, and turned around and left with her men.
After listening to some people on the street talking about what happened yesterday, Tian Xing'er was very happy.
"Have you heard that the beating yesterday was quite beautiful? I also heard that they used some kind of cannon, and the sound was so loud that the whole city seemed to be shaking."
"Yes, yes, I felt it too. That artillery is really powerful. I really want to see what it looks like. It's a pity that they put the artillery away after they finished firing yesterday."
"That's really a pity. By the way, I heard that there were at least 100,000 enemy troops outside the city yesterday. Those Westerners joined forces with the Liao people. They first deliberately led the general away, and then sent a large army to besiege us together. They wanted to take us down in one fell swoop while the general was away and the city was under guard.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that we had a powerful weapon. We fired one cannon and blasted them to pieces. Another cannon would leave corpses all over the ground. "
"Yes, yes, yes. I don't know which genius came up with this cannon. It's so powerful. With this cannon, we don't have to be afraid of those Westerners or Liao people. Even if there are only a dozen people guarding the city, we don't have to be afraid."
"Hahahaha, right."
As the people talked, they all burst into laughter.
Tian Xing'er was also laughing with them, feeling secretly happy in her heart, thinking, the great genius is me, and I'm right here with you, but it's a pity that you don't know.
After listening for a long time, Tian Xing'er reluctantly walked towards the post station. When she came back, she saw her second brother waiting for her in the lobby.
"Second brother, how is it? Have you told them? What did General Li say?" Tian Xing'er asked happily.
"It was done. General Li said that this iron barrel cannon was very good. Although the manufacturing process was simple, it was our idea. Naturally, he would reward us.
Deputy General Gao also spoke well of us, saying that if it weren't for our cannon last night, the city would have been lost."
"So, what benefits did General Li promise us?"
"He said he would grant us a wish, and as long as he could do it and it did not violate his moral principles, he would do his best to fulfill it."
"Really, that's great."
Tian Xing'er and his companions originally brought this iron barrel cannon to rescue people, but they still brought some more, one just in case, and two so that they could bring it here to negotiate some bargaining chips with General Li.
However, they had not yet decided what they wanted, so they thought of asking for a willingness and then letting the eldest brother see what they wanted.
I thought General Li might not agree to this request, but I didn't expect that he actually agreed.
"But General Li said that this wish can be fulfilled at any time. He also asked if you need anything else. If something can be fulfilled now, he can give it to you, which does not count towards that wish. How about Xing'er? Is there anything you want?"
