Chapter 171: Blood of the Nine Rivers (4)
To the west of Wutong Ridge, the Fu Han army established a temporary position here to deal with the battle on Wutong Ridge, and it was also roughly covered with a canopy, and the wounded soldiers could also be carried down to take care of it, and then moved to the foot of the mountain one by one, and a large number of wounded soldiers lay on the ground, stained with blood and mud.
At the foot of the mountain, rows of Fu Han troops formed an attack queue and began to attack Wutong Ridge, they did not squint, even when they passed by the temporary position here, they did not take a second look, and went directly to the mountain without looking back.
A tall and sturdy man was wearing a red military uniform with a regimental commander's epaulette on his shoulders, but he walked straight into the position, his eyes kept pointing straight ahead, ignoring the soldiers along the way, until he was in front of Li Shihu, and then lowered his head slightly.
"Shi Hu, I see that you have a lot of comfort these days, I'm afraid you can't ride a horse!" There was a slight hint of ridicule in his words, but it made the surrounding Fu Han soldiers turn their heads and glared at this uninvited guest.
The tall man didn't care about the gaze of the surrounding soldiers at all, but just stared at Li Shihu with a playful attitude.
Li Shihu didn't seem to hear at all, concentrating on the bandages on his arms, without saying a word, but it was obvious that there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
Just a little bit, just a little bit, his three regiments were able to fully break through the Qing army's defense line and plant the flag on Wutong Ridge, if this is the case, it will be a great honor for both the Fu Han army and their three regiments. At that time, his status in the heart of the Metropolitan Governor, I'm afraid it will be different again.
Li Shihu was born in the Eagle Eagle, but he has never been able to enter the first echelon of the Eagle Eagle, since he joined the Han Army, this difference has gradually been reflected, he is unwilling.
Originally, this battle was a good opportunity, but the situation on the battlefield was unpredictable, especially with the input of 3,000 soldiers and horses in Langshan Town, the form on the battlefield changed greatly, and Li Shihu's soldiers could not stand on it, and they were beaten back.
After all, Langshan Town was originally an important town of the Qing army in Jiangsu, and Jiang Yuan was a fierce general who was originally transferred back from the northwest, and he managed the army in a good way, so his combat effectiveness was also quite strong. With the addition of such a new force, Li Shihu's 2,000 people couldn't go further after all, and they were firmly blocked out of the mountain road, and Li Shihu at that time already had three knife wounds and one gunshot wound on his body.
Even under such circumstances, Li Shihu was still unwilling to retreat, but in the end he was deeply encircled, if it wasn't for the help of his subordinate soldiers, I am afraid he would have become a corpse. In desperation, Li Shihu finally chose to retreat and handed over the original position.
"Ning Chengzu, are you here to see the joke? Let me tell you, it's Lao Tzu, not my brothers! Li Shihu looked at the tall man and took a sip fiercely. As soon as these words came out, they warmed the hearts of the surrounding Fu Han soldiers.
Strictly speaking, they fought this battle really not badly, although they failed to attack in the end, but Li Shihu's three regiments achieved great results, the entire 3,000 Qing troops have been completely defeated, and their casualties are only more than 400 people.
Ning Yu can understand this result, but Dong Ce is not satisfied, Ning Chengzu is not satisfied, and even Li Shihu himself is not satisfied, the reason is very simple, they are all the earliest batch of young eagle battalion students, and almost all of them were captains, and they are the most appealing people in the entire young eagle battalion except for Ning Yu.
Nowadays, some of these captains have died on the battlefield, some have been promoted to division commanders and division chiefs of staff, and more are like Li Shihu and others, who have grown into the commanders or deputy commanders of each regiment and have become the backbone of the whole army.
The experience of the Eagle Camp made each of them feel sincerely proud, but this pride also made them more demanding of their partners, they could not lose, and they did not dare to let themselves lose. Ning Chengzu is like this, and so is Li Shihu.
"I'll wipe your ass for this battle, and my group will fight Wutong Ridge. If you Li Shihu can't do it, I'll help you do it! ”
Ning Chengzu walked out of the makeshift canopy with a cold face, looking at the soldiers who were attacking Wutong Ridge in the light drizzle, and his heart was also full of pride.
"In this battle, there is no retreat! But if anyone retreats, the whole team will be killed! ”
"The whole team retreats, and the whole company is killed! The whole company retreated, and the whole battalion was killed! ”
"If I retreat, the whole group can kill me!"
A murderous word sounded in the ears of the Fu Han sergeant, and everyone's hearts were terrified, they were soldiers of the third division and a regiment, and the regiment commander was called Ning Chengzu, he was a complete madman.
As a collateral descendant of the Ning family, he did not get a lot of family resources, and his life was actually very difficult. Later, after Ning Yu created the Eagle Camp, Ning Chengzu entered the camp early, although at the beginning he was not as valued by Ning Yu as Ning Qianqiu Ning Tieshan, but since he entered the Eagle Camp, he has worked harder and harder day by day, and he has also begun to get Ning Yu's care.
Earlier, Ning Chengzu only started as a company commander, and in the previous battles with the Qing army, almost all of them were deadly fights, but every time there was a big battle, it was also his troops who took the lead in breaking through the defense line of the Qing army, and later accumulated merit and rose to the level of the main regiment commander, which can also be called the rising star of the Ning family.
Knock Knock Knock –
The heavy drums sounded, and the soldiers of the entire third division and a regiment rushed forward with Ning Chengzu, but fortunately, the rain was much lighter, although they could not use guns and cannons, but the battle was much easier. Ning Chengzu was even more of a pioneer, wearing a suit of iron armor and rushing forward, invincible, and the Qing soldiers could hardly stop it.
Almost no one in the Fu Han army will be equipped with cotton armor and paper armor, and officers at or above the battalion commander level will wear iron armor, which is a batch of iron armor made by Ning Yu in imitation of plate armor and made of water conservancy forging hammers, as for the soldiers, they are in a state of no armor, of course, this is because they are too poor, and the iron from the iron ore is used to make guns, but in the planning of the Fu Han Army, after the output of several major iron mines comes out, it will gradually cover the iron armor.
The fighting on the battlefield seemed to have never stopped, and the forces of both sides gradually invested more and more, until this battlefield was turned into a meat grinding field, and a large amount of flesh and blood were swallowed into it.
Ning Yu held the clairvoyant mirror, looked at the battle situation on the ridge, and said with a smile: "Master Cheng, this kid didn't give you any headaches!" ”
Cheng Ming was a taciturn and honest man, but he nodded slightly, and then felt that something was wrong, and said softly: "Ning Chengzu has a strong personality, his regiment is always better than other regiments, and he is not afraid of death, which is the most precious thing in my division." Even if it's a little out of the way, it's okay. ”
"Back then, in the Eagle Camp, among the few people I admired the most, there was this kid, he was not as talented and meticulous as Dong Ce, and he was not as brave and fierce as Xu Chengliang, but he was ruthless, ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself."
Ning Yu said leisurely, unconsciously sighing slightly.
