Chapter 223: The Duel Between Liu Zheng and the Old Dog (12)
"Pass my orders, stick to the help, keep me to the death, whether the brother dies tonight, I will personally send the bereavement to his relatives, I will personally mourn for them, and I will personally hold a wake for the brothers!"
Looking at Liu Zheng who was roaring angrily with red eyes, Xu Liu was silent, and after a long time, Xu Liu raised his hand violently, and seriously stood up and saluted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Smack, an extremely standard, powerful PLA military salute.
Although they are Liu Zheng's personal guards, they are still not used to this kind of salute, and they are very reluctant to this way of saluting, but they have to set an example, when there are outsiders, they will seriously implement this kind of military salute, but when there are no outsiders, when they see Liu Zheng, they also hug their fists.
But this time, it's different, Xu Liu's salute is very standard, and it is completely from the bottom of his heart to use this military salute.
Because this military salute is enough to express his agitated mood at this moment.
"Don't worry, my lord, the brothers are ready to die here, they will die here together tonight, and they will also have a companion on Huangquan Road!"
Bang, Liu Zheng also returned a military salute.
Xu Liu gently lowered his arm, with a stirring heart, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
The only person standing by Liu Zheng's side, Qingluan looked at this scene, and his heart also rippled, and at the same time, a deep guilt rose in his heart.
"General Liu, I'm sorry, the little woman didn't ......"
Before Qingluan finished speaking, Liu Zheng interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Miss Qingluan, it's not your fault, if you want to say that there is a mistake, that person can only be me, if it weren't for my arrogance, pride, and self-righteousness, I wouldn't have let my brothers fall into such a dangerous situation!" ”
"Since I stepped into Linqing City, I took my brothers into the trap carefully designed by the enemy, even if there is no you, I will take people to this side, not to mention that if your mother did not suddenly appear, I Liu Zheng would have died a long time ago and could not die anymore, and I can live until now, I have already earned!"
Hearing Liu Zheng mention her mother, Qingluan's heart turned bitter, she was always looking forward to seeing her mother again, but when she really saw it, she saw some things that made her angry.
He shook his head slightly, wanting to throw out these inopportune thoughts, and after a while, Qingluan bit his lip and said, "General Liu, although we are in a desperate situation, there is no way to crack it!" ”
"Huh?" Liu Zheng just wanted to open his mouth to ask the doubts in his heart, when he suddenly heard countless people shouting behind him.
Turning his head, he looked at it, and immediately called him stunned!
On the other side of the river, there were countless figures standing on the riverbank, shouting loudly, but because the shouting was so chaotic, it was impossible to hear what was being shouted.
Suddenly, a figure plunged into the river, this is a cold winter moon, the river is cold and biting, and the silt in the canal is very serious, Liu Zheng thought that something would happen to the person, but he didn't expect that the person quickly emerged from the water, fluttered and swam to this side, to the bamboo raft that was on fire in the center of the river, the person dived again, and when he came up again, he was already very close to the shore here.
In a few moments the man swam to the shore, but as soon as he tried to get up, he shook violently and fell into the river again.
Liu Zheng knew that it had collapsed into the mud, but fortunately he arrived at the river, not far from the riverbank, Liu Zheng immediately shouted: "Bring two spears!" ”
Immediately, a soldier came over with two spears, Liu Zheng pulled the placket of his shirt violently, stabbed it, tore off a strip of cloth from the placket, and quickly tied the two spears together.
The soldier immediately understood, and when Liu Zheng wanted to go to the river to pull people, he snatched the spear in Liu Zheng's hand and came to the river, and handed the lengthened spear to the man in the river.
The man grabbed the spear, walked ashore with a deep foot and a shallow foot, he went ashore and didn't care that he was covered in water, so he hurriedly ran to Liu Zheng's side and hugged his fist and said: "Lord! ”
Liu Zheng then took a look at the torch, it turned out to be his old guard Zhao Gouzi, and now he was a regiment leader under Chu He.
"Dog!" Liu Zheng's voice fell, and he immediately untied his big coat and wanted to put it on Zhao Gouzi.
"Lord!" Zhao Gouzi pushed Liu Zheng's big away and said: "Lord, I'm fine, let's talk about business first, Master Zeng asked me to come over to tell the lord that if the lord can't break through, please hold on for an hour or two, Master Zeng is trying to find a way to cross the river to rescue!" ”
Liu Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, I know, you put on my big hat first, I will let people make a fire, you bake the fire first, this cold day will kill you!" ”
Zhao Gouzi still pushed away Liu Zheng's big gun: "Lord, your injuries have not healed, if you don't have this big gun, something will freeze out, and my lord, I have to go back to restore my life, does my lord have anything to convey to me?" ”
Liu Zheng looked at Zhao Gouzi, who was trembling, and sighed fiercely and said: "In this case, then you go back and tell Zeng Kaiyu, let him not be anxious, it is no problem for me to hold on until dawn!" ”
Zhao Gouzi got the order, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord, be careful, I will kill you soon!" ”
After speaking, Zhao Gouzi didn't wait for Liu Zheng to say anything, turned around and ran to the river in three or two steps, and got into the river in a normal way.
……
Zhao Gouzi swam across the river, the strength in his body was almost exhausted, if it wasn't for someone to help him, he wouldn't be able to walk at this time.
Zeng Kaiyu let people light a huge bonfire early, and as soon as Zhao Gouzi came back, he immediately let people carry him to the bonfire, took off the only remaining pair of pants on his body, and found a marching blanket to wrap his body.
It took a while for Zhao Gouzi to ease up, and as soon as he eased up, he said anxiously: "Master Zeng, the lord said that he can hold on until dawn, so don't be anxious!" ”
"Alas!" Zeng Kaiyu glanced back at the other side of the river: "Listening to the shouting and killing, you can know that the people who surround the lord are absolutely indispensable, how difficult it is to hold on until dawn, the lord said this to relax my heart, but how wide my heart is!" ”
Zuo Yuanfeng stretched out his hand and patted Zeng Kaiyu's shoulder and said, "Don't be anxious, all of us are pointing at you to make ideas!" ”
Zeng Kaiyu nodded and didn't speak, stood up and looked at the other side of the river, and after about a quarter of an hour, suddenly a soldier ran over in a hurry.
"Senior Commander Zeng, this fire dragon is two or three miles long to the south, and there are no boats nearby for us to cross the river, how about it?"
Zeng Kaiyu didn't answer, he was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said, "Bring the map!" ”
The guards immediately sent the map to Zeng Kaiyu, and then the light of the torch looked carefully, and waited for about a quarter of an hour before Zeng Kaiyu spoke again.
"Yuan Feng, come and see, we are here now, less than seven or eight miles north along the river is the Five Dragons Palace, where the people of Yuboda are fighting with the people of the Cao Gang, since we can't cross the river, let's go north to round with Youboda first!"
Zuo Yuanfeng looked at the map and said: "How do we get there, you see what is drawn on this map, the canal is next to the city wall here when it reaches Nanwanzi, and it should be impossible to pass!" No matter how you look at this, there is no way to pass! ”
Zeng Kaiyu nodded and said: "I don't know if there is a way here, and no one of us is familiar with this place, so we can't take this risk, and not going here doesn't mean that we don't have a road!" ”
Zuo Yuanfeng asked anxiously, "Oh? Where did it come from! ”
Zeng Kaiyu pointed to the city wall and said, "Isn't there a road on this city wall?" According to the intelligence, this city wall can drive two carriages side by side, and not far behind us is the gate of Xiaochenzhuang! ”
Zuo Yuanfeng was overjoyed, yes, such a wide width is enough, even if the team of four thousand people will not be too long.
"So what are we waiting for!"
Zeng Kaiyu nodded and said: "Order, the 104th regiment goes first, the 107th and 105th regiments follow, and Chu He leads the 106th regiment to press behind!" ”
After giving the order, Zeng Kaiyu waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
……
Yuboda looked at the enemies killed in all directions with an anxious face, and he was resentful of himself, if he hadn't wanted to wash away the shame on his body in one fell swoop, he would not have recklessly broken into the enemy's trap.
Entering the city, he separated from Liu Zheng and others, crossed the river at the Wenjin Bridge, passed through the North Temple, and came to the Cao Gang's chief rudder Wulong Palace from the Guangji Bridge next to the North Temple.
Yuboda knew that he had been fooled, and he immediately ordered the troops to turn around and go back, but they had only been out a few streets before something happened.
Suddenly, from all directions, countless enemies with swords in their hands were slain, and although these enemies were unarmoured and dressed as civilians, they were all fierce and abnormal, and the fight seemed to be deadly.
Fortunately, the 3 regiments of the 101st Brigade in his hands were not vegetarians, and they quickly repelled the enemy who was killed.
The 101 Brigade is currently the template unit in Liu Zheng's troops, in the regiment-level combat units, there are two battalions for the infantry battalion, one battalion is all crossbowmen, a brigade has three regiments, and the crossbow battalion has three battalions, Liu Zheng's division of troops is not the same as that of the imperial court, he has three regiments in a brigade, three battalions in a regiment, and three companies in a battalion, so divided, then three crossbow battalions are equal to a crossbow regiment, and one brigade of the 101 brigade has a crossbow regiment of 1050 people.
The reason why the crossbow battalion that followed Liu Zheng was 800 people was because it was the old battalion of the crossbow battalion, saying that there were 3,000 people around Liu Zheng, but the actual number was only more than 2,800 people, 1050 people each from the 108th and 109th regiments, and 800 people from the old crossbow battalion.
It was precisely because Liu Zheng was accompanied by the battle-hardened old crossbow battalion that he said that he could hold out until dawn.
It was precisely because of the crossbowmen of this entire regiment that Yuboda was able to quickly repel the enemy besieging him.
After repelling the attacking enemy, Yu Boda ordered his troops to quickly retreat to the Guangji Bridge, but what he didn't expect was that after retreating a few streets, thousands of enemies jumped out.
With the presence of crossbowmen, the enemy was once again pushed back, and within a few streets thousands of enemies rushed out from all directions.
He fought and retreated, but when he retreated to the Guangji Bridge, he was dumbfounded, the Guangji Bridge collapsed, and there were countless bamboo rafts burning in the canal, completely turning the canal into a river of flames.
Before he could recover from the shock, thousands of enemies were coming from all directions.
"Cao Hai, I'll join your mother, you have the ability to come out and fight with your grandfather for three hundred rounds!"
