Chapter 33: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
After listening to Nie Shicheng's words, he was also a little stupid, too, it is difficult for immortals to hide from the smoke, not to mention those brothers, that is, people with better skills. The key is that I believe in the leader too much, and I always think that the leader is powerful and omnipotent. But in the face of so many cavalry, artillery, and thousands of Japanese main forces, it was difficult to run back unscathed.
Zhang Yihu stood for a long time, suddenly woke up, looked at his head is two slaps, and hissed, "Ah...... Chief, you must not be in trouble, brothers, hurry up and go back to save the instructor! "Shouting, turning the horse's head, and taking ten brothers with him is like rushing back to save people.
Zhao Shixiao saw that things were not good, so he hurriedly urged him to come immediately, grabbed Zhang Yihu's reins, and shouted: "Zhang Yihu, you calm down for me!" Just a few of you, you can fuck it! ”
Zhang Yihu's eyes were red, he shook his arm, knocked Zhao Shixiao away, and roared: "Fuck it, even if you die, you have to die together, without an instructor, what are we still alive for!" Get out of the way! ”
Zhao Shixiao stretched out his hand again and dragged Zhang Yihu's horse reins to death, and at this time, Nie Shicheng also urged him to come up, raised his horsewhip and whipped it, and shouted: "**** Zhang Yihu, you dare to commit it!" Be honest with Lao Tzu, things haven't been figured out yet, what are you howling! ”
Zhang Yihu saw that it was Nie Shicheng, his head drooped, Nie Shicheng was majestic and heavy in the army, but no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him. Zhang Yihu grinned and cried.
Nie Shicheng looked at the crying Zhang Yihu and was angry and funny, this guy is really a hot-blooded man. Looking at the reconnaissance battalions around them, they are all gearing up and going back to make a big fuss. Nie Shicheng secretly sighed, these talents have been with Zhang Yi for less than four months, and they can live and die with Zhang Yi, so loyal, Zhang Yi can bring out a group of people, it is really his blessing.
Nie Shicheng's face turned cold, and he said, "Don't you know how much ability you have?" As long as he is not hit by the devil's mountain artillery, I think the devil will not be able to keep him. It's just that the brothers below are hard to say, alas, the elites who have worked hard to train have not ...... in a battle" Nie Shicheng also looked sad, Nie Shicheng also thought about using the blue wolf brigade as the team to build a new training army, and this catastrophe may make the plan come to naught.
Everyone sighed, and Nie Shicheng said: "We can't stay here any longer, we must take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has not yet arrived, enter Kaesong to quickly deploy defenses and replenish ammunition." Zhang Yihu, you take your ten or so brothers, scatter, two miles away from two people, listen to Zhang Yi's news, remember, you will never be allowed to take a step forward fifteen miles away! Those who violate the order will be killed immediately! ”
Zhang Yihu's face was full of bitterness, and he arched his hand slightly, and he was going down with someone to find out the news.
At this moment, dozens of people came out of the mountains and forests in the distance one after another, rushing towards Nie Shicheng's men and horses.
Zhao Shixiao saw it and exclaimed: "Junmen, look, it's Zhang Yi!" It's Zhang Yi, them! ”
Everyone shook their heads to watch, at this time, the dozens of people in front of them were only a few hundred meters away from them, and it was Zhang Yi who was the leader, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Yi led the brothers to Nie Shicheng.
Zhang Yihu, who was on the side, saw that Zhang Yi was back, jumped off the horse, ran over to hug Zhang Yi, and said in a trembling voice: "Instructor, you are not dead, great, I thought you were all hanging!" Woohoo......"
Zhang Yi looked tired, patted Zhang Yihu on the shoulder, pushed it aside, and saluted Nie Shicheng: "Lord Junmen, my subordinates are blocking the return of the main force of the Japanese army......
Nie Shicheng didn't wait for Zhang Yi to finish speaking, waved his hand and said, "Zhang Yi, don't talk nonsense, how about it?" Are you okay, how are the casualties of the blue wolf brigade? ”
Zhang Yi looked remorseful, and to this day he still hates himself for being so careless, causing the death of more than ten brothers. Zhang Yi said gloomily: "My lord, the Blue Wolf Brigade was shelled by the main force of the Japanese army, resulting in the martyrdom of more than a dozen brothers, all of whom were careless at the moment, causing this disaster......
Nie Shicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed: "Good, good!" Zhang Yi, fighting in front of the army, how can there be a reason for immortality, I think that even if you don't suffer casualties, at least you will be greatly injured and lose your combat strength? Only a dozen people were sacrificed, Zhang Yi, even if Zhuge was reborn, it would be nothing more than that. Ha ha! ”
Zhang Yi said astringently: "My lord, these are the elites brought out by his subordinates with great effort, and I can't bear to die a single one, not to mention that more than a dozen brothers have gone." ”
Nie Shicheng said: "It's okay, they died as well as they deserved, as heavy as Mount Tai, and if we fight again in the future, we will take revenge." We don't say much, it is estimated that it will not be long before the Japanese army will arrive in Kaesong, so let's hurry up and enter the city and arrange defenses. ”
Zhang Yi agreed, told the brothers to get on their horses, and advanced to Kaesong with the main force.
I had just come to the gate of Kaesong, but before I entered the city, I saw the gate of Kaesong open, and a group of men and horses rushed out of the city. The leader shouted: "Nie Junmen, Nie Junmen, come to greet your lord!" ”
Nie Shicheng looked up and saw that it was Shan Lianke, the commander of the personal guard battalion under Ye Zhichao, followed by the other two pipe belts under Ye Zhichao. Shan Lianke came to Nie Shicheng's approach, flew off his horse, knelt on one leg, and cried: "My lord, I can look forward to you, Lord Admiral, he was attacked by the Japanese army, and he has been martyred......"
Nie Shicheng looked at Shan Lianke, and a faint anger rose in his heart, if it weren't for the collapse of your Beida Battalion without a fight, how could my southern battalion be attacked by the Japanese army before and after, and the soldiers were defeated, and victory was in sight, because the Beida battalion was defeated, and the southern battalion also suffered heavy losses.
But Shan Lianke is not his direct subordinate after all, and he is not too harsh on him. So, Nie Shicheng replied lightly: "Single-tube belt, get up, I have heard about Ye Zhichao." Let's go into the city and talk in detail, the Japanese army is about to come to the city, so let's seize the time to arrange defense. ”
After that, Nie Shicheng took the lead in the city with the reins, and Shan Lianke got on the horse and followed Nie Shicheng's side. Nie Shicheng asked: "Single pipe belt, how many people are there in Nanda Camp now, and how about weapons and ammunition?" ”
Shan Lianke smiled bitterly: "My lord, before the Japanese army attacked that night, I suggested that Admiral Ye follow your advice and make preparations in advance, but Admiral insisted on going his own way and did not take precautions. In the middle of the night, the Japanese army attacked suddenly, and the Nanda battalion was not half prepared, and in a moment, 3,000 men and horses disintegrated, and their weapons and baggage were lost. It has only been a day since I arrived in Kaesong, and now there are about 1,000 people who have returned to the city one after another, but the Admiral has been martyred, and the dragons are leaderless, and the people are panicking. I was only a guerrilla band in a battalion, and it was really difficult to restrain them. ”
Nie Shicheng snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "Admiral Ye is too indulgent to his subordinates, and now that he is in a foreign land, he is not strictly restrained, once an accident occurs, how can he get it." Now that Admiral Ye is still martyred, it will be useless to say anything more. As for the matter of Admiral Ye, the old man will immediately call Li Zhongtang and the Queen Mother Lafayette and reply truthfully, as for how to deal with it, it depends on Lafayette and Lord Zhongtang. In this way, summon the remaining pipe belts over and temporarily reorganize them and bring them under the command of the old man. However, the old man's ugly words can be said to be ahead, and if he is under my command, he needs to obey my military orders and obey the control. If anyone dares to retreat, they will be shot on the spot! ”
Shan Lianke was upright and said: "Lord Junmen, we are also hot-blooded men, all of them are men who fought in the Huai Army, and there is no fear of death. In Kaesong, as long as the military gate is in front of the battle, our Beida Battalion will definitely fight to the death, and none of the Huai troops who rushed out with Lao Zhongtang are of a bad breed! ”
Nie Shicheng shouted: "Good! You can say that again! Single-piped, then the old man will temporarily appoint you to supervise the people of Beidaying! You go down first, and together with the other two pipe bands, you will rectify the military affairs of the Beida Battalion, and reorganize it into three battalions, and the three of you will be in charge separately, and you will be fully responsible. Come to Japan and fight with the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will also know how hard the bones of the Huai army men are! ”
