Chapter 221: Bitter Battle
"Xu Lang, bandage your hands first. www.biquge.info"Zhang Hai was the first to come back to his senses, "Andreas, build fortifications." ”
"No need." Xu Lang tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes and wrapped his severed finger briefly, "It's pointless for us to resist here, they want to separate us from the mixed brigade, we brought all the modern weapons." With Liu Guannan and Deng Zhaohui with us, we rushed out to join Han Wantao. ”
"And what about the bodies of these fallen soldiers?" Zhang Hai asked.
Xu Lang took off his military hat and bowed to the remains of the soldiers of the Yulin Army: "They will understand." ”
Huang Taiji's guard of honor towers over a hill. Tao Min and Tao Gong turned over and dismounted, came to Huang Taiji and knelt down on their knees: "The slave loves Xinjue Luo Taomin, the slave loves Xinjue Luo Taogong, meet the Great Khan, and wish the Great Khan a thousand generations and enjoy the hegemony forever." ”
"Two of you, please." Huang Taiji stood up and grabbed one with one hand, "You are the master who sent a letter to Ben Khan and claimed to be Tao Min?" ”
"Back to the Great Khan, exactly." Tao Min pointed to Tao Gong, "The slave is Tao Min, this is the slave's younger brother Tao Gong." ”
"Two masters." Huang Taiji smiled and said, "But there is still something unclear about Ben Khan, can the two masters solve the confusion of Ben Khan?" ”
Tao Min made a thousand: "Great Khan, excuse me, the slave knows everything." ”
"Get up, get up." Huang Taiji pulled up Tao Min, "The master claims to be Ai Xin Jue Luo Tao Min, but I love Xin Jue Luo's family and does not have the ranking of Tao characters, I don't know what is the relationship between the master and Ben Khan?" How did the master know about the Daikin script that Dahai was writing now? ”
"Back to the Great Khan." Tao Min told the lie that had been made up a long time ago, "The ancestors of the minions were from the same clan as the Great Khan, and the ancestors of the Great Khan in the past led their troops to move east and settled in Hetuala. But the ancestors of the minions did not move east, and remained in the same place. For two hundred years, the ancestors of the minions searched for the Great Khan. Slaves and younger brothers have visited famous mountains and masters since childhood, and learned from teachers. The slave's master named the two slave brothers Aixinjue Luo Taomin and Tao Gong, and told the slave that they only needed to travel east to find the true dragon emperor. Only then did the minions and their brothers come to find the Great Khan. God bless my Khan, so that the minions can recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. ”
"Exactly." Tao Gong also continued to make up nonsense, "The master of the slave is a master in the world, who knows it for 500 years and 500 years later. Those Daikin characters were taught by the master, and when the master taught them, he said that they would be useful in the future, so my two brothers knew about them. ”
"I see." Huang Taiji nodded slightly, "But I don't know where the two masters are now?" ”
"Back to the Great Khan." Tao Min pretended to be sad, "The ancestor has traveled west on a crane five years ago, and my two brothers have gone down the mountain to find the Great Khan. ”
"It's a pity." Huang Taiji sighed, "I hate not being able to meet the immortals." ”
"The Great Khan doesn't have to be too much of a pity." Tao Min played, "The skills of the first teacher, my two brothers have also learned seven or eight points, and they will definitely be able to help the Great Khan rule the world and make meritorious deeds for all generations." ”
Several people were asking questions and answers, and a crisp burst of gunfire rang out on the mountain in the distance.
Nearly 100 cavalry rushed down like a tiger descending the mountain, and the Eight Banners soldiers under the mountain fell one after another.
Huang Taiji unconsciously praised: "What a strong journey." If it weren't for the guidance of the two masters, this army would have become a big trouble for my Dajin. ”
"Insect carving skills." Tao Min snorted, turned around and knelt down, "Don't worry about the Great Khan, the minions have set up a net." This battle will definitely wipe out the enemy army to relieve the Great Khan's worries. ”
"Chief of Staff Xu, Chief of Staff Xu." A soldier from a cavalry company shouted to Xu Lang, who rushed out of the encirclement, "Our company commander is trapped. ”
Xu Lang looked back and saw that Andreas and more than 30 cavalrymen had not been able to keep up, and were surrounded by hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers. Andreas was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and was desperately wielding a Cossack scimitar to fight the two white-armored soldiers.
"How many bullets do you have left?" Xu Lang asked loudly.
"I still have 3 magazines."
"I still have more than 2 points."
The traversers checked their ammo.
"Xu Lang." Zhang Hai called out in a low voice, "There are too many Eight Banner soldiers. ”
Xu Lang was already red-eyed, so he ignored Zhang Hai at all, and raised the 03 rifle in his hand high: "Soldiers, the Yulin Army will never give up any brother, this is our belief." Kill me back! ”
Xu Lang flicked his horse's head, and the 03 rifle in his hand rang out again.
Zhang Hai was helpless, and also shouted: "Kill the thief, charge!" ”
A small force of several dozen people turned around and rushed back.
With the sound of several grenade explosions, the encirclement was once again broken open.
Andreas covered his bleeding shoulder: "My subordinates thanked the chief of staff. ”
Xu Lang didn't answer him, turned his head and shouted: "Keep up, don't fall behind, charge!" ”
Once again, the cavalry company broke out of the encirclement.
Finally, there were no pursuers behind, and Xu Lang and Zhang Hai both restrained their horses: "Count the number of people and check the wounded." ”
Liu Guannan was still unconscious, his left forearm was burned entirely, and he was simply bandaged with a bandage to stop the bleeding.
Two of the traversers were slightly wounded, the cavalry company had only more than 60 men left, and nearly 20 cavalrymen were killed on the battlefield.
The rifle in Xu Lang's hand pointed forward: "Target, mixed brigade." Cavalry company, departure. ”
Before they reached the camp of the mixed brigade, the roar of the 6-pounder cannon and the redcoat cannon coming at each other came one after another.
"Xu Lang, the situation is not good." Zhang Hai shouted, "Han Wantao's side is also hit." ”
"It's not right if you don't fight." Xu Lang chuckled, "Aixinjue Luo Taomin? It's a lot of work. ”
"What do we do now?" The people around asked.
"Afraid of what?" Xu Lang raised his rifle, "Rush in and join Han Wantao." ”
"Xu Lang, don't be impulsive." Zhang Hai stopped Xu Lang's brutality, "Let's take a look at the situation first, which side is weaker, and we will rush from which side." ”
Xu Lang stopped talking.
"Cavalry company, rest in place." After Zhang Hai finished the order, he led the two traversers to run to the high ground in the distance.
Half an hour later, Zhang Hai and the others returned.
"How's it going?" Xu Lang asked eagerly.
"The fighting was fierce, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers in the Eight Banners. However, they can't attack now, and the two sides are in a stalemate. ”
"Can we rush in?"
"Not now, we have to wait until the evening, let's sneak in."
After Zhang Hai finished speaking, he asked, "Xu Lang, did you bring a map?" ”
"Brought it." Xu Lang took out the map from his arms and spread it on the ground.
Zhang Hai looked at the map for a while: "Xu Lang, even if we meet Han Wantao, what are you going to do?" ”
Xu Lang pondered for a while: "I was also thinking about this question just now, we can't go back the way we came." ”
"Yes." Zhang Hai said, "Tao Min and Tao Gong must know our withdrawal route, and Huang Taiji will definitely ambush heavy troops." But if we don't go back to Nanpu, where can we go? ”
Xu Lang's fingers drew a circle on the map, and finally stopped at Lushun: "Go here, go and meet Wang Zhaoxing." ”
"I also think I should go to Lushun. But here and Lushun are 800 miles away, isn't it too far. ”
"It should be fine. Huang Taiji's heavy troops will definitely be placed in the direction of the Yalu River to prevent us from returning to Nanpu by land. There shouldn't be too many Eight Banners soldiers on the way to Lushun, so let's throw away all the baggage and go into battle lightly. According to the speed of our Yulin Army, there is no problem for 100 miles a day. Our agreement with Wang Zhaoxing is to let him play in Lushun for at least 2 months, and now he should still be in Lushun. ”
"But if you throw all the baggage away." Zhang Hai was a little skeptical, "Then what should we do with the supply of these seven or eight days?" ”
"Rob." Xu Lang spit out a few words in his mouth, "Grab grain and horses along the way, and grab everything you can." ”
Night slowly fell, and the gunfire in the camp of the mixed brigade gradually subsided.
Han Wantao, Zeng Guangxian, Zhou Lei and others sat in the tent worriedly.
"It's been a day, why haven't Xu Lang and Zhang Hai moved yet?" Zhou Lei couldn't help but say.
"Guangxian, how are the casualties?" Han Wantao asked.
"It's not very good." Zeng Guangxian replied, "There are Kong Youde's artillery on the side of the Eight Banners, and 2 of our 13 cannons have been damaged, and 11 are still usable." Today, 82 people were killed in battle, and more than 300 were slightly injured and aggravated. ”
"The casualty rate is too great." Han Wantao muttered.
"Wan Tao." Zeng Guangxian suggested, "We can't fight like this, there are too many soldiers in the Eight Banners." Is it time to think about breaking out? ”
"No, we have to wait for Xu Lang and Zhang Hai to come back." Han Wantao shook his head resolutely, "We must not leave them behind." ”
"But." Zeng Guangxian said yes, and swallowed back the following words.
Outside the barracks, the characteristic sound of Flight 95 and 03 rifle suddenly sounded.
The three people in the tent all stood up in unison: "Xu Lang, they're back." ”
A small group of cavalry took advantage of the darkness to rush into the barracks.
"You're back." Han Wantao was the first to greet him and wanted to give Xu Lang a hug.
Xu Lang saluted dignifiedly: "Report to Brigade Commander Han, the commander of the pioneer battalion Liu Guannan was seriously injured, the deputy battalion commander Deng Zhaohui died, and all the soldiers of the pioneer battalion died heroically." ”
Han Wantao and Zeng Guangxian and Zhou Lei behind him were all stunned.
"What did you say?" Han Wantao yelled at Xu Lang, "Say it again." ”
"Liu Guannan was seriously injured, and Deng Zhaohui was killed in battle."
"Smack", a heavy slap hit Xu Lang in the face.
Han Wantao shouted like crazy: "You bastard, Xu Lang, you are a bastard!" All the machine guns and rifles were given to you, and you told me he died? You told me Deng Zhaohui died? ”
Xu Lang fell to his knees all of a sudden, and finally cried: "He's dead, he's really dead, he's only 22 years old, and he's not married yet." I'm a bastard, I'm a bastard. ”
Han Wantao sat on the ground in a daze, and suddenly shouted through gritted teeth: "Wu Zhenhan, I'm going to kill you; Tang Han, I'm going to kill you. ”
The people around looked at a brigade commander and a chief of staff, and no one dared to come up and persuade them.
Zhang Hai secretly walked to Zeng Guangxian's side and said in a low voice: "Liu Guannan is still in a coma, we brought Deng Zhaohui's body back, the cavalry company lost one-third, and Andreas was also injured." ”
Zeng Guangxian nodded lightly: "I know, you go and deal with it first." ”
Han Wantao and Xu Lang finally calmed down, Zeng Guangxian and Zhou Lei went up to help the two of them up: "Let's go to the tent first, let's discuss the rest of the matter." ”
Han Wantao stepped forward and hugged Xu Lang: "I'm sorry." ”
Xu Lang patted Han Wantao's back and didn't say anything.
It's the second watch, and Han Wantao and the others are still discussing tomorrow's actions in the big tent.
"There is no problem in breaking through in the direction of Lushun." Zeng Guangxian said after listening to Xu Lang and Zhang Hai's suggestions, "But we have too many wounded, and we will definitely not be able to go fast." ”
"If you can't go fast, you have to go." Han Wantao said, "This is the only way, if we stay here, the Eight Banners can grind us to death even if they are slowly grinding." ”
"But what about the wounded soldiers?" Zhang Hai asked.
"Take them with you." Xu Lang said expressionlessly, "The Yulin Army will never give up any brother. ”
"No more discussion." Han Wantao glanced at a few people in the room, "I'm the brigade commander, I'll order now." Zeng Guangxian, Zhou Lei. ”
"Here."
"You two continue to organize tomorrow's battle, don't worry about ammunition, especially don't worry about shells, all of them will be wiped out, and the Eight Banners will be damaged as hard as possible."
"Yes."
"Xu Lang, Zhang Hai."
"Here."
"You two are going to evacuate tomorrow, only bring guns, ammunition and three days' rations, do a good job in organizing the wounded soldiers, and let's break through tomorrow night."
"Yes."
