"By the way, when you arrive in Yulin, you can decide for yourself things like sheltering and pacifying refugees, and if you don't have enough food, you can apply to the base...... The key is to do a good job in the propaganda work of conscription, and the method of recruiting and training recruits can refer to the Annan model, but it is necessary to do a good job, and those who have bullied the common people cannot be wanted, and those with poor military discipline must be eliminated; in the spring of next year, when our recruits are trained, we can send troops to Guangzhou, clean up the two traitors, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, and then recover Guangdong and Fujian, and contact Zheng Chenggong. ”

"How? Have faith? Lin Xiao stared at Xia Bomin and asked.

"Yes! Captain. Mission completion guaranteed! The militant Xia Bomin excitedly stepped forward and saluted.

"I will let Lao Chen transport the follow-up ammunition and materials to you continuously, including the ones we want to use on the northern line will also be transferred in Qinzhou, you have to send someone to manage the warehouse, there are many people in the baggage company, you can leave a platoon, and take the reconnaissance platoon to Yulin, these are literate soldiers, most of them can ride horses, their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the baggage company, and their firepower is also stronger."

"Yes, understood, I'll arrange it."

Xia Bomin was already thinking about the deployment of his troops.

……

Then the army left Qinzhou and continued on its way, and there was a difficult mountain road of more than 150 miles along the Qinjiang River to Lingshan, and the soldiers generally carried heavy tactical backpacks, and the baggage soldiers often had to push the carts forward.

However, the morale of the troops was high, and they marched forcibly along the Qinjiang River, walked nearly 100 miles in one day, camped in Sanlong Town, and continued to rush the next day.

On the third day, all the way north, after crossing the Yujiang River, it was basically a plain area, and the marching speed was obviously faster, and when they arrived at the Maling camp that night, Zhang Chenfeng sent the regimental guard platoon that had been fighting for days back here to meet the large army, and had been waiting for a long time.

That night, Lin Xiao listened to He Shouxin's report on the battle situation, and learned that the Qing army had besieged the city for three days, and the Yujiang River flowed southeast of Yulin City, and Shang Zhixin's camp was stationed on the other side of the river, and the river was full of civilian boats looted by the Qing army; Outside the city, the east, west, and north were all the camps of the Qing army, attacking the interior and defending the outside.

Zhang Chenfeng, who arrived two days ago, led the main force of the reconnaissance company and the reconnaissance platoon to harass and wound the enemy in the west of the city, and in the past two days he has killed and injured more than 1,000 Qing troops besieging the city.

The good news is that there is also a small force in the east of the city that is constantly harassing the enemy, and after sending people to contact them, it was learned that it was Liu Xulei's third company left in Baisha, because the number was smaller, and the Qing army on the periphery could not hold the camp, so they only returned fire with guns and artillery, and could only harass and injure the Qing army, and did not attack the city.

"It seems that this group of Qing troops is still very experienced...... From this place to Yulin City, is there any Qing army stationed along the way? ”

Lin Xiao asked in a deep groan while listening to the report while looking at the map.

"There were hundreds of people stationed in Shika Town, but we have killed them, and there is also a barracks of several hundred people on the north bank of the Liyu River, which has also been cleared, and the boats used to cross the river are waiting on the south bank." He Shouxin replied.

Hearing that Zhang Chenfeng and they were short of ammunition, Lin Xiao was faintly worried, judging from the map, Maling is still more than 70 miles away from Guigang, and they still have to cross the river halfway, and the large army will have to march for nearly a day tomorrow to arrive.

Looking at He Shouxin's slightly tired face, Lin Xiao forcibly suppressed the plan to let the guard platoon rush back to Yulin overnight for reinforcements, they also fought day after day, and rushed back to Maling non-stop to prepare food and lodging for the large army, so let them rest for a good night.

"I hope Li Yuanyin can hold it! Three thousand people can defend for three days, and it is really difficult for him. ”

Lin Xiao thought silently, and his love for talent surged from his heart.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiao asked Lu Hua to equip He Shouxin with a hand-held walkie-talkie, and ordered him to lead the guard platoon cavalry as the vanguard, and bring as much ammunition as possible all the way to the front.

Walking to a small mountain, Lin Xiao took Ah Huang up the hillside, quietly looking at the mighty and mighty team under the mountain, the endless passing procession, Ah Huang held his head high Lin Xiao carried a gun, one tall and one short The two figures were bathed in the golden halo of the rising sun, like two sculptures, shining all around.

"The earth is ...... under my feet"

Lin Xiao stared at the north, and actually remembered such a lyric very darkly.

Thinking that such vast mountains, rivers, and earth would soon be taken back by his own hands, he couldn't help but be full of pride, and an impulse to look up to the sky and roar rose in his heart......

"Left lead yellow, right spear, brocade hat mink fur, thousand horses roll Pinggang! …… What a majestic and heroic Shuangmu general! ”

Behind him, there was the sound of Qu Shiyun's cheers.

It turned out that Qu Shiyun and Zhang Tongchang happened to pass by, and when they saw Lin Xiao, they also climbed the mountain.

"Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, shoot the wolf!"

Lin Xiao turned around and said casually, as a literate soldier, he still knows this Su Shi's Jiang Chengzi.

"Are the two adults alright? How is Master Zhang's health? ”

"We can march in a carriage without getting tired! Bear it! Zhang Tongchang was in good spirits and gladly responded.

"That's good, I can rush to Yulin before this evening, I hope Nanyang Bo can hold on." Lin Xiao looked at Qu Shiyun and said.

"Yes, it is not easy for Li Chengdong to have such a son who stands up to the sky, you must hold on." Qu Shiyun said with emotion.

The group went down the mountain to continue the march, and Lin Xiao saw that Feng Suqin and other Yao soldiers waiting at the bottom of the mountain were marching on foot, but they did not show fatigue at all, and they looked much more relaxed than the young soldiers of the baggage company.

Especially Feng Suqin, who got the official task explained by Lin Xiao for the first time in her life, she was so excited, and a smile filled her face along the way, like a blooming white orchid.

"Young man, are you interested in coming to my guard platoon? After the New Year, I will train a special combat team, and everyone in the guard platoon will be able to participate in the training camp. ”

After getting back on the road, Lin Xiao chatted with Feng Anmin as he walked.

Who knew that Feng Anmin glanced at Feng Suqin on the side and hesitated and replied, "My master confesses...... I have to protect Miss. ”

When Feng Suqin heard this, she burst out laughing, "Who wants you to protect me, even your young lady and I are my brother's soldiers, what are you still twisting and pinching?" ”

"But ......"

"But what, others can't go if they want to, brother, right? Why don't I go with them? ”

"Okay, as long as you can pass all the training subjects, I'll take you."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and laughed.

"It's a deal! Hook? Feng Suqin replied without thinking, stretching out her little hand to make a hook shape.

"That's not right...... If you join the special combat team, who will bring your Yao soldiers? I will only accept one of the two of you. ”

Lin Xiao snorted lightly, and without waiting for Feng Suqin to argue, he waved at her, stopped and waited on the side of the road, waiting for Lu Hua and her team at the regiment headquarters.

Because of the radio, Lu Hua could sit on the cart and march, but she stubbornly insisted on marching on foot and did not fall behind.

Lin Xiao glanced at Lu Hua, who was flushed and panting with concern, but he didn't know what to say, so he just asked flatly: "Is it time to start?" ”。

"There's still half an hour," Lu Hua replied by looking up at his watch. "Since then, it has entered combat mode, and it can be turned on all the time, and it can be contacted by all parties at any time."

"Okay, you get in the car, get ready, I'm going to contact He Shouxin and Ding Shuai immediately."

"It's okay, I'll hold on for a while, it will start up quickly."

Lu Hua understood what Lin Xiao meant, glanced at it quickly and said softly, then frowned slightly, and his steps stumbled obviously.
