"Bai Qi, come with me into the city."
"promise……"
Jiang Tian walked in front, with Bai Qi following closely behind.
The group climbed onto the city wall.
Command of the battle on the city wall has fallen into Jiang Tian's hands.
Dozens of breech-loading cannons were lined up in a row.
Bai Qi was shocked when he saw the Franco cannons: "My lord, what are these?"
"The Franco cannon can fire quickly." Jiang Tian glanced at Chen Feilong. "Chen Feilong, fire a couple of shots to show Bai Qi."
"promise."
Chen Feilong quickly deployed two cannons.
The booming sound of cannons rang out continuously, and the shells could easily reach two or three kilometers away. Moreover, more than twenty cannons could be fired per minute.
Bai Qi was stunned when he saw it.
These Franco cannons could shoot farther and were more powerful than their Qin heavy crossbows.
"Bai Qi, you are to use all these cannons."
"promise……"
"Li Yuanba!" Jiang Tian shouted again at Li Yuanba, who was gnawing on a lamb leg beside him.
"Here you are." Li Yuanba wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and ran over.
"From now on, you will follow Bai Qi. You will do whatever General Bai Qi tells you to do."
Li Yuanba glanced at Bai Qi: "My lord, I want to follow you."
“Listen to me,” Jiang Tian said without hesitation, “General Bai Qi can lead you into battle to kill the enemy.”
Li Yuanba wanted to argue, but the look in Jiang Tian's eyes left no room for rebuttal: "Alright, I'll listen to you."
"Bai Qi, Li Yuanba is now yours. Make good use of him. A few days ago, this guy carried a bronze cauldron weighing tens of thousands of pounds for several hundred meters."
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
"I wonder how this brave warrior compares to King Huiwu of Qin, Ying Dang."
"Much better than him."
King Wu of Qin, Ying Dang, was strong enough to lift a cauldron, but during the lifting process, the cauldron struck his leg, breaking his leg bone. He died not long after returning to his country.
"Make good use of Li Yuanba; he can be incredibly effective on the battlefield."
"clear……"
…………
Pang Mansion.
"Jiang Tian, that bastard, actually asked me for fifty million taels of silver! Where am I supposed to get that much money?" Pang Hao cursed as soon as he thought about it.
“Master, Zhang Xianzhong’s army is less than 50 li away from our capital. You can’t wait here any longer,” the steward Hu Wan quickly advised. “You should leave the capital now and join Zhang Xianzhong’s army.”
Pang Hao had been beaten to a pulp and had no desire to stay in the capital.
In his view, the capital city would inevitably be the place of his death.
“The surrounding area is full of Jiang Tian’s men. Even if I wanted to leave, I might not be able to.” Pang Hao sighed deeply.
"Master, there is no need to worry. Zhang Xianzhong has already sent men into the city, and with the hundreds of men in the manor, they are more than enough to protect you as you leave the city."
"Master, change into a servant's clothes and leave the city at dawn tomorrow."
Pang Hao was overjoyed when he heard that he could leave the city.
He'd do anything as long as he could escape this hellhole.
"Is the escape route reliable? I don't want to fail to escape and end up being caught again."
"If that's the case, I'll die without a proper burial."
Hu Wan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir. A manure-collecting cart will come at daybreak tomorrow. We'll put you in a wooden bucket, and the guards won't check the carts full of manure carefully."
"You brat, you actually want me to sit on that cart full of manure?" The thought of that stinking stuff made Pang Hao quickly shake his head.
"Master, as long as we can escape, do you still care about these things?"
Pang Hao nodded. That was all that could be done at this point.
The next morning, before dawn.
Then the sound of the night watchman's drum came from outside.
A horse-drawn cart that was used to transport manure from wealthy households drove by.
The carriage came to a smooth stop at the back gate of the Pang residence.
Several Imperial Guards quickly stepped forward to investigate.
"Gentlemen, this cart is carrying nothing but filth, there's nothing to see here," the coachman said with a slight smile.
"Open all these wooden barrels." These Imperial Guards were extremely meticulous; they wouldn't overlook any detail.
The driver had no choice but to open all the smelly wooden barrels.
Some of the wooden barrels were filled with excrement.
Some of the wooden barrels were half-filled.
Several others were empty.
A foul stench wafted over.
The Imperial Guards pinched their noses and stepped aside.
Just then, there was a thud.
A bucket filled with sewage fell off the roof of the vehicle.
The bucket shattered at the feet of several Imperial Guards.
The sewage from the bucket was splashed everywhere.
The Imperial Guards were also splattered with a lot of excrement.
Are you blind?
"How do you do things?"
The coachman quickly apologized repeatedly.
"I'm so sorry, gentlemen, this wooden barrel wasn't tied properly."
"Get in there right now, and get out of here after you've finished defecating," the Imperial Guard cursed, covering his nose, and waved at the coachman.
The coachman quickly steered the carriage toward the backyard.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The coachman drove the carriage out from the backyard.
"Gentlemen, do you still need to inspect?" The coachman opened the lids of several wooden barrels.
The wooden barrel reeked of a foul odor.
The Imperial Guard glanced at him and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Get lost, get lost now, and don't let me see you again."
The coachman bowed and scraped, quickly jumped onto the carriage, and drove it away at a brisk pace.
