Chapter 331: Two Drums Fail
As soon as the words in the camp were finished, Lan Ziyi drove his horse to the front of the village, and before he spoke, Lan Ziyi glanced at the camp in front of him.
These four villages have been resisting under the attack of the demon thieves for a whole morning, and each village has been cut down indecently. But the loss of this camp in front of him is more serious than the other three villages, not to mention that all the antlers in the outer ring of the village have been cut down, even the wooden walls have been flattened in half, one corner has been completely opened, the gap is full of corpses, and many seriously wounded sergeants continue to let out a dying wail, both friend and foe. The watchtowers inside the stockade have also been burned down, leaving only wet embers and green smoke.
Not only that, but the remaining sergeants in this stockade were also unbearable to fight. Most of the casualties in the hard battle of the stockade just now were already in the morning, and less than 200 of the 500 people were left who could fight, and the people who were still standing in the stockade in front of them could be counted at a glance.
If the demon thief comes back later, it is impossible for Lan Ziyi to hold the camp where he stayed just now, and it is even more impossible for the camp in front of him to be able to hold it, it should be said that it is a miracle that the village in front of him has not been breached, and in this case, the people inside have to fight again to find death.
Lan Ziyi came to stand in front of the wall, and when he saw the miserable situation of the soldiers inside, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, he scolded in his throat:
"Who said you were going to fight? Stand out! I finally rescued you, can the soldiers fight again now? ”
Lan Ziyi roared out, and the sergeants in the village turned their eyes behind them, and one of them stood up with a knife under the gaze of everyone. This person looked supposed to be tall, but he was a head shorter than everyone else when he barely stood up, he was covered in blood, his armor was scattered, and a big hole was made on his face, which kept oozing blood, Lan Ziyi could see the teeth in this person's mouth through this wound.
After hearing Lan Ziyi's post, this person said:
"It's me, it's me who asked."
When Lan Ziyi saw this person's appearance, he knew that this was the strong man who had fought bloodily just now, and the anger in his heart was instantly replaced by admiration, and his tone of voice softened more than a bit.
Lan Ziyi looked at this person and asked softly:
"Do you recognize me?"
The man raised his chin at Lan Ziyi and said:
"I know you're Lan Weihou."
This person's face was rotten with a big piece, and when he spoke, he was still leaking air from the side, Lan Ziyi couldn't help but tilt his head when he heard this person speak. Not only Lan Ziyi, but also Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu, who came with him, sighed and turned their heads.
Lan Ziyi raised his head with a long sigh, looked at the man and asked:
"Now that you know who I am, why do you hesitate? Your task has been completed, let's retreat now, let's retreat! ”
The man replied to Lan Ziyi:
"Last night, the Taiwei personally ordered me to wait for the city guard, and I assured the Taiwei in person that the gate was there. Even if the demon thief is repelled by me, I will not be able to leave until the military order of the captain comes, and if I retreat privately, it is a deserter. Wei Hou let me go, so where is the military order of the Tai Lieutenant? How can I believe you with empty mouths and white teeth? ”
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he understood that the person in front of him was the main general of the village, and he was indeed a rare hero, but he didn't open his head and admit death, which made things very difficult.
Lan Ziyi wanted to tell the truth to this person, but so many people couldn't say that they were cannon fodder, Lan Ziyi was embarrassed and could only lick his lips, and said in a big circle:
"The demon thieves are known as millions, and there are no less than 300,000 people who come to attack the village in person, and you can't hold it with 500 people, not to mention that your current village is already dilapidated. I finally went around to the back of the demon thief to sneak attack to get this opportunity to retreat now, if you don't go, you won't have to leave until the next time the demon thief attacks! “
The lord standing in the stockade stood stiff on the ground, and although his figure was clumsy from his wounds, his figure was like a rock. He didn't answer for a while after listening to Lan Ziyi's words, but when Lan Ziyi felt that this person was moved, he opened his mouth and said:
"If the demon thief is really unacceptable, and my five hundred people can't defend it at all, then who can stop the attack of the demon thief? What if I leave the camp? “
Lan Ziyi turned his head to look at the demon thief, fortunately there was no movement, although the demon thief retreated, he couldn't figure out when he would come, and now every time he delayed, it would be more dangerous.
Lan Ziyi smashed his tongue anxiously, and then said to the battalion generals:
"Two thousand of you have blocked hundreds of thousands of demon thieves in one morning, this is enough, no matter what order the Taiwei gave you, you have now completed it.
Don't be brainless, hurry up and follow me, I am a demon thief who is scaring away by dangerous tricks, and I will attack again soon when the demon thief reacts. Your brothers are already the survivors of a hundred battles, and there is no need for the remaining brothers to be buried here, there is no need! Hurry up, it's too late if you don't go! “
The guard standing in the camp let out a long breath when he heard Lan Ziyi's words, he closed his eyes and looked up to the sky to let the rain beat his face. Lan Ziyi could feel the heart-piercing pain from his rain seeping into the wound, but he didn't cry out for pain, he didn't even frown.
Then the lord of the village lowered his head, opened his eyes and looked at Lan Ziyi and said:
"It turns out that the Captain asked us to do this. I get it. “
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an earth-shattering horn sound from the demon thief's side, and a vibration different from the charge of the Tiger Battalion just now came from along the earth, startling everyone and their horses. The tremor was noisy and muffled, a tremor of the ground as hundreds of thousands of infantry launched a collective onslaught.
Lan Ziyi twisted his head in the direction of the demon thief's attack expressionlessly, and looked at the moving figure and gritted his teeth secretly.
Tao Zhutu came up to Lan Ziyi and said:
"Young master, these guys are coming to gnash their teeth, I can see it clearly. It seems that they understand what they have just been deceived. “
When the chief general of the village heard the footsteps, he also turned his head, and he spoke, not only to Lan Ziyi, but also to the other sergeants:
"Since I am the main general and receive the military order, I will fight to the end, and I will die. If you want to die, die! I'm not going to leave today. But I received the military order, there is no need for the other brothers to die with me, you help the wounded brothers and follow the guards and go quickly, and the demon thieves will come up later!" “
When the sergeants in the village heard this, they all knelt on the ground and cried loudly:
"Your Excellency!"
The lord of the village is so brave and strong at this time, and I don't know if it's right or wrong, but Lan Ziyi doesn't have time to judge right and wrong, the demon thief has already been killed, and it seems that they want to avenge the mistake just now, in this case, the top priority is to withdraw quickly, don't continue to stay here.
Lan Ziyi looked back at the other three stockades, and there were no more officers and soldiers left here except for the lit smoke.
Lan Ziyi gestured to Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu behind him, signaling them to hurry up and lead the rest of the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion to act, and Lan Ziyi himself urged the horse to prepare to leave.
Lan Ziyi shouted to the village:
"Don't cry! Let's go! ”
The chief general of the village also said to his subordinates:
"Let's go! You don't have to stay and die with me! ”
Most of the sergeants wept and bowed to the commander before leaving the camp and withdrawing to the main camp, while a dozen or so of the remaining sergeants stood up and took up their weapons, without the slightest intention of retreating.
Lan Ziyi knew that these people planned to live and die with his lord, and he was all gone, so he urged the horse forward, and before leaving, Lan Ziyi hugged his fist and thanked the soldiers left in the camp:
"Take care!"
After that, he went to the camp without looking back.
The first four battalions in the camp are not far away, and the forward troops have already arrived under the camp wall when the demon thieves besieged Sizhai just now, and they have experienced a round of firefighting just now, but because of the throat of the main body of the four villages, the attack of the demon thieves has not been able to use their strength.
Now that the Sizhai sergeants have all withdrawn, the battalion will face the impact of the demon thieves, Lan Ziyi and the soldiers of the Jihu battalion under his command have come over the mountains and mountains to attack a wave, and now they are tired enough, and they don't know that the battalion intends to use tactics to resist the attack of the demon thieves.
However, what surprised Lan Ziyi was that when he turned around and returned to the direction of the camp, he actually saw the door of the camp open, and the sergeants seemed to be carrying something from the camp and stationed in front of the camp gate. After Lan Ziyi drove his horse closer, he saw that it was the red-coated cannon and the Fran machine of the Shenji Battalion that had moved out of the camp.
Although the rain is much lighter now than in the early morning and the previous days, it is still raining, can firearms be used normally in such a humid situation?
Lan Ziyi thought about this question and wanted to find an officer to be stable, but he didn't expect to find an old acquaintance Qi Rongxun in the crowd.
After seeing Qi Rongxun, Lan Ziyi hurriedly drove his horse over, hugged his fists and asked:
"Qi Hou is not in the camp, why did he come out with the Divine Machine Battalion?"
Qi Rongxun also hugged his fists and saluted back when he saw Lan Ziyi coming, and said:
"Most of the Shenji battalion is in the camp, but these large and small artillery can't be used in the camp, and they can't be erected on the wall of the watchtower camp.
At this time, there was a sound of killing behind Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi looked back, and the stockade he held just now was only overwhelmed by the demon thieves in an instant, and the sound of fighting disappeared without coming out.
Seeing this scene, Lan Ziyi sighed, and then asked Qi Rongxun:
"Qi Hou brought firearms out of the camp, can it start on this rainy day?"
Qi Rongxun smiled:
"Wei Hou, have you forgotten that my Furlong Machine and the Red Cannon can be used in rainy days? It's just that the gunpowder used in rainy days is specially made, and I don't bring much, but now it's enough to fire a few shots to clean up the demon thieves.
Wei Hou hurry up, the West Tiger Battalion has all been withdrawn to a few miles behind the camp to stand by, I have already pointed out Tao Erlang and Tao Saburo just now, you should go quickly. The rest is the business of the infantry in the big battalion. “
Lan Ziyi glanced back at the demon thief who shouted to kill, and after clasping his fists at Qi Rongxun, he rode his horse in the direction Qi Rongxun said.
It's just that Lan Ziyi just walked a few steps, and Qi Rongxun behind him stopped him and said:
"I heard Zhang join the army and say, Wei Hou fought very well today, I thank you for the other brothers in the camp."
Lan Ziyi asked:
"Thank me for what?"
Qi Rongxun says:
"Thank you for saving the brother in front of you."
