Lan Ziyi pressed his forehead and raised his left eyebrow, and he asked Tao Zhuhu in a low voice:

"Where are the second and third brothers? Where is the Xiji Tiger Camp they are carrying? ”

Tao Zhuhu replied:

"When I passed by the Taiwei main formation just now, I heard that after the attack was launched on the whole front, the Taiwei sent the two of them to the east to look for Lei Youde."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi looked back at Tao Zhuhu and asked:

"Why did the Captain arrange it like this? The big war is imminent, our army is overstretched, and at this time, all the cavalry ran away, isn't it a joke? “

Tao Zhuhu replied:

"Lei Youde led the team to detour from the dense forest to the flank of our army long before the collapse of his main force, and there were quite a few of them, after the demon thieves retreated, they were still crowded together and could not escape, so that the Jihu battalion did not have much effect, it was better to let them keep an eye on Lei Youde's guerrillas. The problem now is just that Erlang Saburo is too stupid to follow people around. “

Lan Ziyi sighed, looked at the neatly arranged Lei Youde formation in the distance, and complained to Tao Zhuhu:

"Big brother, how do you know this? When you attacked the demon thief just now, you obviously rushed to the front, and you didn't see Lei Youde coming around. “

Tao Zhuhu replied:

"Half of it was what I heard from the captain, and half of it was what I guessed."

At this time, Zhang Yanwu, who was standing on horseback, said:

"Tao Dalang, your imagination is really good, but now that you and Wei Hou's two brothers are gone, we can only rely on ourselves to carry the more than 30,000 people of Lei Youde."

The tragic scene of the soldiers stumbling just now was still lingering in front of Lan Ziyi's eyes, and now Lan Ziyi almost had the heart-rending auditory hallucinations of the soldiers in his mind. The blow of defeat is huge, and Lan Ziyi has not had time to repair and has to re-enter the next battle, if it weren't for the previous Taiwei's enlightenment, Lan Ziyi must have been in a trance by now. The deceased have passed away, and it is necessary to mourn them, but the more important thing at the moment is to fight for the survival of the living, and Lan Ziyi must fight on his back for the dead, which is his responsibility.

Thinking of these Lan Ziyi forced out some of his courage from the bottom of his heart, he once again raised his spirit, his eyes were like torches, and then he habitually reached out to his waist to probe his sword, but after touching two of them, he could only touch his own scabbard, and then Lan Ziyi remembered that he had thrown the sword in the forest just now.

On the side, Tao Zhuhu silently handed Lan Ziyi a waist knife, Lan Ziyi looked up at his eldest brother when he saw this, and Tao Zhuhu said:

"This is a knife I collected when I begged for thieves before, young master, you can use it first."

Lan Ziyi grabbed the knife and stood in front of him, which was much more laborious than wielding the sword before, and Lan Ziyi only felt the soreness of his shoulder being brought by the knife.

Lan Ziyi, who had a knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and said firmly:

"In today's battle, there is death and no life, no matter what, we must stop the demon thief, and if it doesn't succeed, it will become a benevolent!"

Zhang Yanwu next to him patted his thigh and sneered when he heard this:

"That's right, that's what you said when you rushed into the woods just now. We're all crippled now, but you're telling me how to stop the thief? “

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi looked at Zhang Yanwu, then at Tao Zhuhu, and then said:

"The old way."

Zhang Yanwu asked:

"What's the old way?"

Tao Zhuhu replied for Lan Ziyi:

"Of course, he was beheaded by Lei Youde's handsome banner."

Zhang Yanwu shook his head when he heard this, helplessly pulled out his saber, and urged the horse to move forward slowly, he said:

"From yesterday to today, I haven't had a good thing since I met you Lan Ziyi. Now the demon thief has also been opened, and they are all dead anyway, let's go up. “

When Lan Ziyi and Zhang Yanwu led the remnants of the heavy cavalry of the Royal Forest Army to advance eastward, the artillery team of the official army that was left behind was in chaos.

The artillery of the officers and soldiers has always been in a relatively safe position, when the thieves attacked, the artillerymen opened fire under the cover of friendly troops, and when the friendly troops launched a counterattack, the artillerymen stayed in place after artillery support. The other officers and soldiers on the front line and the demon thieves killed you to the death, and when they were covered in blood, these gunners of the Shenji battalion in the rear seemed much more idle, especially those artillerymen who had stayed in the formation, they really didn't cut a knife but just fired the artillery, and they followed Qi Rongxun's fellow battalion robes but they really fought hard with the demon thieves, and many of them were sent down with broken arms and legs.

The artillerymen of the Shenji Battalion watched Lan Ziyi and Tiefutu rush all the way into the thief formation, and witnessed Zhang Wang's whole army forming a line behind the demon thief's butt to chase and kill, for these soldiers, this is much more exciting than watching a play, and they don't have to pay for it.

But the sound of drums from the woods behind them shattered their leisurely enjoyment, and the iron-clad thieves poured out of the woods behind the left side of the artillery as if they were springs that had been chiseled open in the ground. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who stayed next to the artillery were horrified to find that they were now completely undefended by friendly troops, and only the wounded soldiers of Qi Rongxun's headquarters closest to them were left to rest in place, and now these artillerymen had to face the invading enemy alone.

Seeing the demon thieves who had already been lined up out of the woods, the artillerymen of the Shenji Battalion were completely panicked, and everyone shouted and asked how to deal with it, and the chaotic noise made people's heads swell, and the situation at the scene became more and more chaotic.

Someone shouted:

"The demon thief is coming, let's quickly move forward and join Qi Hou!"

Someone retorted:

"Move? How to move? Furlong is still moving, the redcoat cannon, you can move one for me? ”

And the man said:

"Then let's go over and leave the cannon here."

Before he finished speaking, the people around him scolded the person who came up with this bad idea in unison:

"You bastard, aren't you running away? Now that the demon thieves in front of us have not been destroyed, and there are pursuers coming from behind, where can we escape? How to escape? ”

At this time, someone spoke:

"Let's just line up and fight the demon thieves with shotguns!"

Someone next to him immediately scolded:

"You idiot, we are operating cannons, have we been issued with shotguns, all the shotguns were given to the team on Qi Hou's side just now, and now those shotgunners are lying next to us!"

As he spoke, the sergeant pointed to the wounded soldier who was resting on the ground not far away.

When the discussion was inconclusive, the soldiers began to shout indiscriminately, "Then what should we do?!" The sound came and went, resounding throughout the audience.

And then "Puff! After a loud bang, the shouting sergeants quieted down, and everyone looked for prestige, but saw Qianhu who left the leader of the team holding his handgun and pointing at the sky, and the long green smoke was still rising from the muzzle.

Seeing that the thousand households had finally shocked everyone, he put down his gun and reloaded the ammunition, and at the same time he withdrew his voice and scolded:

"You bastards always shout to destroy the thief and kill the enemy on weekdays, but now you have a serious encounter with the demon thief, but you only know that one is cowardly, one is running, where are your eggs gone?

Today, how big or small are we, the tens of thousands of brothers in front of us are chasing and killing hundreds of thousands of demon thieves, and the slightest mistake in the demon thieves on the other side of the pond can trample us to death. Now that there is a strong enemy in front of us and an ambush behind us, what if we run away from the army? What to do in the capital? We are the last defenders of the capital, and if we don't have the capital, we won't be gone!

If I derelict my duties and run away in a few days, I am afraid that I will be overshadowed after I go back, and if you become a deserter, you will not end up much better than me! “

Hearing this, a sergeant said:

"We're not trying to run away, we're just saying that we're going to take the ..... to join Qi Hou's people."

Before he finished speaking, Qianhu scolded:

"That's running away, too! We are the gunners of the Shenji Battalion, and Qi Hou's side is full of infantry, what can we do if we go over? What can be done? Ammunition, artillery are all here, what should we do if we are gone?

Retreat is death, war is also death, why do we have artillery to escape and die? Get the moving, drop the muzzle of the cannon, and fight! The captain said before the battle today, if you lose today, everyone will have to die, and no one will be able to escape! “

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were shocked by the sound of gunfire from Qianhu, and their hearts first stabilized, and then Qianhu's words of scolding and scolding also made the soldiers understand that now everyone has nowhere to retreat, and the desperate situation inspired the courage of the soldiers and the courage to fight to the death from the bottom of their hearts. The soldiers began to nod their heads in agreement, and after Qianhe's impassioned speech, the morale of the soldiers was also mobilized, and everyone hurriedly began to turn the muzzle of the cannon and aim at the demon thieves in the formation under Qianhe's order.

As soon as the soldiers were busy, the herald on Qi Rongxun's side also came over to deliver the message, ordering the artillery to hold their positions and fire at the demon thieves. Qianhu, the leader of the team, nodded in agreement, and when he saw the herald go back, Qianhu found that Qi Rongxun's military formation, which was still resting on the ground just now, had already pulled up an objective team at this time, and it was not a defeated remnant, and the wounded who were resting around the artillery also retreated to Qi Rongxun's side with the help of their comrades.

Chito thought that when the captain led the whole army to attack, he took away everything that could be beaten, but he didn't expect the captain to keep a hand.

Seeing the reinforcements coming from behind, Qianhu's heart immediately became steady, and he shouted loudly:

"Brethren! Qi Hou's team has come, and what we have today is the capital to fight with the demon thief. ”

The soldiers who had regained their morale and determination to turn the artillery was not a matter of easy operation, but at this time the soldiers had already aimed their guns at the demon thief, and after hearing the shouts of the thousand households, the soldiers immediately stood up and shouted in response.

Then several red-coated cannons took the lead in firing, and several solid shells flew out of the barrels and blasted towards the demon thief front in the earth-shattering roar. Although only one of these shells hit the thief, the gunners were not discouraged, because it was the cannon correcting the gun position.

The sergeants concentrated on readjusting the artillery, and one sergeant asked:

"You say it's been a long time since the thieves came out of the woods, why did they just line up and not move?"

Someone next to him replied:

"Are you blind? I didn't see the demon thieves in the woods, and they didn't come out quickly. ”

"It's like diarrhea!" I don't know if it was the soldier who scolded like this, the whole army laughed, and the Qianhu who led the team also had a smile on his face when he heard this, and then he scolded sharply:

"If you have this kind of chatter, you don't have time to run well? Don't fire yet? ”
