Chapter 220: Young Life

Houjin's cannon roared incessantly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There were less than 50 men left in the position of the first company of the pioneer battalion, and the barrels of the two 6-pounder guns were so hot that they could not fight any longer.

The Eight Banners soldiers under the mountain climbed up like ants, and the dense crossbow arrows were constantly thrown at the position of the first company.

"Throw the canister of oil." Deng Zhaohui shouted that he was the first to throw out a canister of oil.

More than a dozen canisters of fire oil shattered on the hillside, and the Eight Banners turned around to avoid the oncoming fire.

"Zhaohui, the Eight Banners have retreated." Liu Guannan sat down and wiped his sweat.

"I'll be back later."

Liu Guannan looked up at the Houjin banners on the hills on both sides: "Zhaohui, Li Xiao, we are surrounded and may not be able to get out." ”

"Chief Inspector, I'll be where you are." Li Xiao said.

Liu Guannan smiled and did not speak.

"If you can't get out, you can't get out." Deng Zhaohui said calmly, "It's a pity that the girl from the Ming Dynasty is still waiting for me." ”

After Deng Zhaohui finished speaking, he stood up and looked around, and the soldiers around him all looked at the young deputy battalion commander quietly.

"Which of you fought in the Battle of Annam?" Deng Zhaohui asked.

Several fighters raised their hands.

"I am now promoting you to the rank of second lieutenant, you are not only a role model for the pioneer battalion, but also a hero of our Yulin Army."

"Thank you, sir, for your devotion to the country." Several fighters replied in unison.

"Boom", a cannon rang out from the bottom of the mountain.

Deng Zhaohui's smile froze, and half of his body fell on the blood-stained position.

"Zhaohui!" Liu Guannan pounced, but Deng Zhaohui could no longer respond shyly, and this young life ended at the age of 22.

"All hidden!" An ensign shouted.

Li Xiao dragged Liu Guannan into the trench and clinged to the trench tightly.

"Sunrise." Liu Guannan's two lines of tears flowed.

"Battalion commander, the Tartars are coming up again."

"All of them, count!" The second lieutenant didn't care about Liu Guannan and temporarily took over the command.

“1,2,3。。。。。 46。 ”

There were only 46 men left in the entire pioneer battalion company.

"All of them, check the ammunition, get ready to shoot."

Two consecutive rounds of salvo fire did not repel this wave of attack of the Eight Banners, and hundreds of Eight Banners slowly approached the position with broadswords, bows and arrows.

"Second Lieutenant, I don't have any more guns."

"Second Lieutenant, my gun can't be fired."

"All of them, bayonets!" The second lieutenant calmly turned around and glanced at Liu Guannan, "Battalion commander, I am the platoon commander of the third platoon of the first company, my name is Qin Sen, please remember that Qin Lin in the Battle of Annam is my brother." ”

"Farewell, battalion commander." Qin Sen stood up with a flintlock pistol with a bayonet on it, "Brothers, the Yulin army is invincible, charge!" ”

Forty-six soldiers rushed towards the hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers.

"Chief Inspector." Li Xiao shouted at Liu Guannan, "What should we do?" ”

"Li Xiao, are you afraid of death?"

"Nope." Li Xiao shook his head resolutely, "With the chief inspector, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

"Li Xiao, call me brother."

"Brother, brother." Li Xiao called out in a low voice.

Liu Guannan closed his eyes peacefully: "Li Xiao, how many thunderbolts and fire oil canisters do we have?" ”

Li Xiao took a look: "Not much, just a few." ”

"Bring them all."

"Inspector General, what do you want to do?"

"Bring it." Liu Guannan said calmly.

Li Xiao didn't ask again, and moved the surrounding oil canisters and thunderbolts together.

"Brother, lean on my brother." Liu Guannan leaned back against the trench and reached out to hold Li Xiao's arm, pulled out his handcuff, "Close your eyes." ”

Xu Ru's beautiful face appeared in front of Liu Guannan's eyes, his parents in his previous life, his first love, and one by one figures walked in front of Liu Guannan.

All 46 soldiers died heroically, and the Eight Banners slowly gathered from the surroundings.

"Chief Inspector!" The moment Liu Guannan pulled the trigger, Li Xiao pounced violently and pressed Liu Guannan under him.

There was a loud "boom", and the oil tank exploded together with the thunderbolt.

"Da-da-da-da-da." At the same time, a deafening burst of gunfire rang out behind the Eight Banners under the mountain.

Nearly 100 cavalrymen rushed over at lightning speed under the opening of Flight 95 and 03 rifles.

The Eight Banners parted like a tide to the sides, their cotton armor could not withstand the bullets of modern firearms, and a few grenades blew a gap.

Xu Lang and Zhang Hai rushed to the position on the hill with the cavalry company and the marine company.

"Guannan, Zhaohui." Xu Lang jumped off his horse and kept shouting.

"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff, Battalion Commander Liu is here." A fighter found Liu Guannan under Li Xiao's body, "Battalion Commander Liu is still alive. ”

"Guannan, Guannan." Xu Lang ran over and kept patting Liu Guannan's cheek, "Wake up, wake up." ”

"Andreas, organize the defense." Zhang Hai walked in front of Xu Lang after giving the order, "Xu Lang, Deng Zhaohui sacrificed and found his body. ”

"Ah, ah, ah----" Xu Lang shouted hoarsely, he couldn't cry.

"Xu Lang." Zhang Hai shook Xu Lang, "Now is not the time to cry, the Eight Banners are surrounding." ”

"Sir." Andreas ran over, "The enemy is coming up with a white flag. ”

"It doesn't matter what flag they fly." Xu Lang's eyes erupted with anger, "Andreas, kill them." ”

"Wait." Zhang Hai stopped Andreas, "Xu Lang, be sober, let's listen to what they have to say first." ”

Xu Lang recovered from his grief: "Let's go, we will meet these tartars." ”

Xu Lang and Zhang Hai stood in front of a group of Eight Banners soldiers with white flags, and behind them, 15 03 rifles were aimed at these Eight Banners soldiers in front.

Two people wearing Houjin official uniforms walked over from behind the Eight Banners: "Chief of Staff Xu, Company Commander Zhang, don't come unharmed." ”

"Wu Zhenhan, Tang Han, it's you." Zhang Hai looked at the two people in front of him, and then at Xu Lang, unable to say anything.

"Zhang Hai, my name is not Wu Zhenhan, and he is not called Tang Han." Wu Zhenhan said coldly, "You remember, my name is Aixinjue Luo Taomin, he is my younger brother, called Aixinjue Luo Taogong, inlaid with yellow flags, authentic Shangsan Banner." ”

"You made it all up?" Xu Lang also asked coldly.

"Xu Lang, don't say that." Ai Xinjue Luo Taogong sneered, "Each for his own master." ”

"You're hiding so much."

"It's no wonder we." Aixinjue Luo Taomin said, "When you first landed, you registered personnel, but you ignored one of the most important things, you didn't look at anyone's identity documents, and all the registration forms were filled out by yourself. Xu Lang, if you look at your ID card, maybe it won't be like this now. ”

"Don't ask." Xu Lang still asked, "You are the one who sent the letter to Kong Youde and Huang Taiji?" Xie Tian is also one of your people? ”

"Hahahaha, not bad." Tao Min stopped laughing, "It's all us." Xu Lang, it's strange that you're too smart. I didn't want to arrange the destruction of your Yulin Army this year, I originally wanted to wait until next year to do so. But you actually guessed that it was a letter from your own people, Liu Guannan wanted to check Xie Tian, if Xie Tian returned to Yulin Bay, then everything would be in vain, so I did it in advance, which is not to blame others. ”

"You've been planning from the start?"

"Yes, we kept our identities secret from the beginning. It is we who create the contradiction between you and the Military Commission in Yulin Bay; It was us who reported to Zheng Jie in Vietnam; It was also us who wrote to the Jinyiwei of Guangzhou Mansion to inform; It was we who arranged Xie Tian into the Second General Affairs Department; It was we who poisoned Song Yingxing. ”

"I'll tell you, Xu Lang." Tao Gong said again, "Don't think that Xie Tian is finished, there is more than one Xie Tian we have installed, and there are still our people in Yulin Bay." ”

"But why?" Zhang Hai asked angrily, "Why do you have to do this, why do you have to be the enemy of Yulin Bay?" ”

"Why? Good question. Tao Min slapped a few times, "Xu Lang, Zhang Hai, if you have any questions, I will give you all the answers today." ”

"And you." Tao Min glanced at the traverser holding the 03 rifle behind Xu Lang and Zhang Hai, "You are to blame for all this." From the moment we came ashore, you shouted all day long that you wanted to save the Ming Dynasty and destroy the Manchus. But who did we Manchus provoke? Confucius's work "Spring and Autumn" is also that the princes use Yi Li to raze it, and Yi enters China into China. Aren't we a member of the Chinese nation, and don't we live on the land of China? You keep saying that you want to transform the Ming Dynasty, why can't we reform the Qing Dynasty, why is this world your Han people. Qin loses its deer, the world chases it, and the high-quality ones get first. In this world, there are capable people living in it, my emperor Taiji Khan is wise and martial, look at your Chongzhen Emperor, stubborn and self-serving, do you need to ask why? ”

"But why do you have to do this?" Zhang Hai shouted, "We have a cross-over conference, you can say what you think." Zheng Jiang and they are also Manchus, but when have we discriminated against them, haven't we treated them equally? Now that Deng Zhaohui is dead, he is only 22 years old, and he is still a child. ”

"Kid? Who is not a child. Tao Gong stared at Zhang Hai, "Look behind you, look at the corpses all over the mountain, which one is not our Manchu child." Your children are children, and aren't our full children children? ”

"Zhang Hai, you ask us why we have to adopt this method." Tao Min continued, "I'll tell you, you're to blame for this. Yes, you have a time travel conference, but what kind of time travel conference is not about destroying us. Is it for the sake of world peace that you are so strenuous in your arms build-up war? Crossing the convention? What do you tell us to say, can we say it? Do we dare to say it? You forced all of this. ”

"Treat us equally?" Tao Min sneered again, "Zhang Hai, do you understand what equality is? Is equality a gift from above, is equality decided by you, is it given to us by you? Equal? Why should we let you give us equality, why can't we give you equality? Xu Lang, today I will return to you what you said back then, who do you think you are, savior? ”

Zhang Hai was a little speechless. Xu Lang didn't say a word, silently pulled out the dagger from under his waist, and stretched out the little thumb of his left hand.

"Xu Lang, what are you going to do?" Tao Min and Tao Gong were stunned by Xu Lang's move.

Xu Lang still didn't speak, gritted his teeth, waved a knife in his right hand, and a little finger of his left hand was cut off together, and blood spurted out.

"Xu Lang." Zhang Hai and the traverser behind him shouted in unison.

Large beads of sweat rolled down from Xu Lang's forehead, Xu Lang endured the pain and raised his severed finger high: "Wu Zhenhan, Tang Han, today is the last time I will call you that." Today I will not talk to you about the country and the nation, yes, what you said is right, each for his own master, I can't say anything. But today, I am only for the dead Deng Zhaohui, only for the dead Li Xiao, and only for the soldiers of Yulin Bay who were killed by you. The sky is proof, I Xu Lang swears that I will not kill you in this life and this world, and I will be a son of man in vain. ”

"Kill us? Hahahaha. Tao Min looked up to the sky and laughed, "Why did you kill us, look at the bottom of the mountain, look at your surroundings, don't say that you are such a small person, even if Han Wantao's mixed brigade comes, he can't get out." I tell you plainly, Azig and Haug entered the customs just to coax you. My 50,000 warriors have already surrounded this place, so you are a mixed brigade of less than 3,000 people? None of them can escape. ”

After Tao Min finished speaking, he also took out the waist knife from under his waist, picked up his clothes and cut off a piece.

Tao Min threw the rag in front of Xu Lang and Zhang Hai: "Today, I will cut my robe with you in Yulinwan and break off righteousness, and I will break off righteousness." From now on, the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, let's knife to knife, gun tip to gun. ”

"Xu Lang, Zhang Hai, don't say that our brothers didn't give you a chance." Tao Gong said, "We will give you two hours now, and after two hours, we will fight to the death." ”

After the brothers finished speaking, they took the Eight Banners down the mountain, leaving only the stunned Xu Lang, Zhang Hai and a group of traversers.
