Chapter 231 Lu Gucang Receives Order

In front of the northern gate of Baoding Prefecture, enemy soldiers launched a surprise attack and blew up a gap. Then, the enemy soldiers and horses took advantage of the situation to launch a strong attack and launched an all-out charge. The decisive battle began!
At the crack in the western section of Beiguan, the enemy situation is even more fierce!
At the critical moment, Xiao Lang and Gu Changting cooperated with each other to resist the enemy's force, and the enemy and our side were caught in a tug-of-war!

In the short gap of a dozen steps in depth, the two sides competed inside and outside, neither giving in.

At the same time, in the middle section of the pass, Peizhong received a report from the official and also knew about the gap in the western section. He was horrified when he heard it!

Not only was he worried that this weak point would give the enemy soldiers an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, he was also worried about launching a large-scale attack and achieving a breakthrough!
If this is the case, the overall situation of the attack and defense of Baoding is in danger and defeat is imminent!

Besides this, he also heard that Xiao Lang was leading the troops to the top, and he became even more worried about the general's safety!
Swords and knives are blind and artillery fire is merciless!

Now that the enemy knows this vital point, they will certainly mobilize their artillery and concentrate all their efforts here!
In order to prevent the general from getting into trouble, Sun Peizhong urgently issued an order to hastily transfer Lu Gucang, the former commander of a certain district in the western section, to assign rescue matters!
2:30am (Chou time).

Lu Gucang received the message and rushed eastward from somewhere in the western part of the city amid the chaos of gunfire.

"General Qian?!"

"Captain Qian! I'm coming to the barn!"

It didn't take long before Lu Gucang ran up to Sun Peizhong.

As he spoke, he wiped his nose with his big hand, and immediately half of his face was covered with blood!
"oh?!"

"barn!"

"Lu Gucang! You, hurry up."

The fire was dim at night and provided limited illumination. When Peizhong heard the sound coming from the barn to the west, he quickly turned his head and took a few steps forward. He grabbed the man's arm and started talking to him, intending to use him to lead the troops to fill the gap at the front line!

But when Peizhong glanced at the face facing the barn, he was suddenly stunned!
"Hey! The barn!"

"You, what's wrong with you?!" Pei Zhong was worried about his condition and asked hurriedly.

"what?!"

"Hey! It's okay!"

"General Qian, I'm fine, it's okay!"

"Damn it! The enemy just fired artillery fire, and I was so busy greeting the guys below that I didn't dodge and the artillery fire exploded!"

"What the hell, another brick exploded and hit me in the face!"

"Bad luck, damn bad luck!"

"General Qian, don't worry!"

"I'm lucky, I won't die!"

"You called me here in such a hurry, there must be something important, right?!"

"Captain Qian, please don't delay any longer. Just give me your orders!"

Gu Cang spoke in a panic, as if he didn't care about his own injuries. He also tried to comfort Peizhong and changed the subject, asking him about the important task in detail!

"Oh, oh! Alas!"

"Okay! Okay!"

"The situation is really critical. Neither you nor I can care about so many things!"

"Barn! That's what I was trying to tell you!"

"Did you hear the explosion in the west section just now?"

"That gap, now it's three meters wide because of the enemy's artillery fire!"

"Just now, someone came to report that the enemy soldiers were attacking fiercely at the breach!"

"It's a matter of urgency!"

"Besides, the general had already led his men over after the first round of enemy artillery bombardment!"

"barn!"

"The entire North Pass is under attack. I really can't split myself here! I can't get away for even a moment!"

"But I predict that the situation at that crack must be extremely dangerous!"

"Damn it, this enemy soldier is a thief!"

"There is absolutely no reason for them not to send more troops to attack us when they are hurting us!"

"So." Peizhong frowned and spoke angrily.

At this moment, the captain could not continue to ask details, and Lu Gucang, who was standing nearby, also roughly understood what was going on, so he just stood there and interrupted him.

"Hi!"

"Wow, General Qian! I understand now!"

"You want me to take people to plug this hole!"

"I guessed correctly, didn't I?!"

"Just tell me, how many heads can you let me take away?!" replied the barn.

"Correct!"

"I'm telling you to plug the hole!" "Another thing, you lead the troops to block it, and quickly withdraw the general from me!"

"General, you are the commander-in-chief of the entire army. Your personal safety is closely related to the overall situation. You must not make any mistakes!"

"If you get hurt in front of our troops, we will be the sinners of the entire army!"

"Did you hear that clearly?!" Peizhong warned again.

"Yes!" The barn straightened his back and responded in a crisp voice.

"Guan Cang, you go and lead the remaining 100 soldiers of this headquarters!"

"Besides this, I will assign you another 100 people!"

"All 200 heads in the team, hurry up!"

"Right now, we have a limited number of people in this section of Beiguan, and I can only give you these people. This is already the limit!"

"Besides, do you have any other requests? Just ask!"

"Once you reach the western gap, I'm giving you a death order!"

"Barn, you remember that!"

"People are in the city!"

"If we can't hold the gap, the enemy will break into the city in no time! Then the whole army will be defeated!"

"Do you understand the pros and cons of this?!" Peizhong spoke earnestly, with mixed emotions at the moment.

Lu Gucang, who was standing in front of him, felt his heart sink when he heard what General Qian said!
Although he had not yet gone there in person after receiving the order, he seemed to have known that this trip would be a dangerous and fatal one!
I'm afraid that this time, I won't be able to return alive!
After a brief sigh of regret, Lu Gucang let out a long sigh, then raised his head and looked into Sun Peizhong's eyes.

"Haha, General Qian!"

"I understand now!"

"Well, for these two hundred heads, please assign more gun barrels to them. The firepower can be greater!"

"Also, kerosene, land mines, bows and feathers, hehe, we should take whatever we can!" Cang said with a bitter smile, unable to hide the bitterness on his face.

"Yes, OK!"

"Hongcai! Go, get the muskets ready for the barn!"

"Pull over all the guns from the reserve and equip them!"

"Barns, kerosene, land mines and other things, there are more of them in the gap than here!"

"The general is personally at the front line, and has been deployed there early in the morning!"

"Come!"

"Take my pistol with you!"

As he was speaking, Peizhong's nose suddenly twitched, and to hide his emotion, he quickly turned around, took out a pistol from his waist, and rushed to shoot it at Lu Gucang.

"Barn, barn!"

"Any other requests?!"

"Hurry up!"

"It's rare for me to be generous, so hurry up!" Peizhong was busy all the time, talking all the time.

Upon hearing this, Gu Cang understood what he meant and his eyes sparkled.

"Hey, hey! That's enough, okay, that's about it!"

"Hey! Right!"

"Captain Qian! I, I do have a private matter to attend to!"

As he spoke, Gucang reached for his waist and took out a purse from behind his right waist.

"Hey! Wow, Mr. Qian!"

"This is my salary for this month."

"A few days ago, I made a bet with Li Huchen, the general under Li Dabazong, Zhou Changsheng!"
