Chapter 140: The White Lotus Sect (9)

This is not the first time that the Xianzi Battalion has dealt with the Xiangzi Battalion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Previously, Hou Liangzhu ordered the errand to explore the road, but the Xiangzi battalion relied on the Hou team officer to be the nephew of the military family, and was only willing to go to the platform, so the four teams of the Xianzi battalion were forced to go to the Aluomi place alone, and met an ambush in the road, if it were not for the joint efforts of the generals, not only the combat strength of the Ding team was outstanding, but the other three teams were not weak brigades, and they had to be explained in the mountains of Aluomi! When it came to this matter, everyone in the Xianzi camp was indignant, that is, the other people who stayed behind that day and did not go on the road with the four teams, thought that if it were not for luck, they might have to die like those unfortunate comrades, and the more violent this heart of reproach became!

With such a past, the order issued after this camp made the Xianzi camp completely boil. When the soldiers heard that they were going to go to Baisa with the Xiangzi Battalion, many of them jumped up in front of the officers and shouted with white eyes: "Go back to Ah Luomi, if it weren't for the villains of the Xiangzi Battalion, how would we be in a bitter battle!" "If it weren't for my sworn brother blocking a knife for me, I wouldn't have come back!" But he died in the ghost land of Alomi! We came back by luck after a hundred deaths, but we saw those beasts eating and drinking on the floor! "I'm not convinced! I'd rather go alone to our Xianzi camp than be with such a villain! lest they not die at the hands of the barbarians, but because of them they lost their lives! ”

The crowd was excited, and the officers scolded and scolded, and beat and beaten, but the soldiers seemed to be open-minded, and would rather beat the military stick than take half a step back. A seven- or eight-year-old veteran ripped off his clothes, bare his chest, revealing seven or eight wounds, including a wound that revealed nearly two feet of pink new flesh that was about to grow, and a few blood-colored bandages faintly revealing from his entire waist. Captain, it's not more than three! I escaped with my life twice, can God allow me to escape again?! If that's the case, it's better to tell me to break it here, or to bring a corpse with all the beards and tails to the house! ”

He is a soldier in Zhou Qian's team, and he has always been very familiar with Zhou Qian and Zheng Guocai, and he is the best joke when he has nothing to do, but such a person with a smile on his face on weekdays now bluntly said to the officer that he can't live! Zhou Qian's mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say a word, and he was holding back a hot sweat! For the first time, I felt that it was better not to have a long mouth!

After a long time, Zhou Qian finally squeezed out his voice and said in a hoarse voice: "What do you look like?" It's not good, hurry up and put on your clothes! Even if you fight, you don't want someone like you who doesn't have a few good parts of meat on your body! Don't worry, this time I go back to Baisaku, and all the wounded soldiers in the camp don't have to go! Qianhu personally begged the military gate for an order, and all the wounded soldiers followed the army, and they would be treated after they arrived in Chishui! You put your heart in your stomach well, your team officer and I have won back, and I will come back to drink and play with you! ”

The veteran didn't listen to Zhou Qian's words, he fell to his knees with a thud, and on his rough and ordinary face, a line of muddy tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't stop crying, and his voice was crying blood: "Team officer!" The little one who has followed the team officer for seven or eight years, is he the one who is afraid of death? The little ones don't do it for themselves! In the battle of Pingshanba, there were twenty or thirty brothers in our team, and the battle of Aluomi was dozens again! Captain! Count how many familiar old brothers are left in the team?! Team Officer, save some seeds for Team C! We can't afford to die! ”

There was silence for a while, and everyone was speechless. I don't know who started, but a voice suddenly came out of the crowd: "The three of my brothers will go to Aluomi, and my brother and brother will never come back!" Shangguan! I have two nephews, one is only three years old, the other is only full of Zhou, my younger brother, I have never even been close to a woman's body! Shangguan! We didn't mean to resist the order, but we really showed the word camp, and if we died a few more, we would disperse! ”

Starting from this one, like a lodging rice stalk on a windy day, the soldiers lowered their bodies, hulala knelt down in a large area, and the sad voice came one after another: "Shangguan! My brother is also in the camp, if it is really impossible, let my brother stay, and I will follow the camp! He's the only one left in my house! "Of the eight small ones, five died in Aluomi!" "When the younger brother followed Qianhu and died in Liaodong, now if I die, there will be no one at home!"

Although the officers have passed through many scenes, many people have seen such a situation for the first time. At that moment, many people's faces changed color, and they wanted to scold, but when they saw those simple and credible bronze rough faces, they softened their eyes, these are the soldiers they have brought for several years! From the mud legs that are not divided between the left and right to the elite soldiers with the first combat power in eastern Sichuan, only these officers know how much hard work they have used!

Different from ordinary battalion soldiers, the foundation of the Xianzi battalion is the group of Liao soldiers who followed Chen Xianda back to Sichuan back then, and from the beginning it was incompatible with the local army in the southwest, and the Qianhu officer is a straightforward artillery temper.

The officers were all silent, and many of them clenched their fists tightly, with tears in their eyes, holding back the trace of sorrow in their chests, and would rather hold their chests hot and painful than dare to speak out! In the end, they are years of military service, they have rich experience, and they know that the current soldiers are in a bad mood, and if one is not good, they will make a big mess if they can't say it, that is, the camp roars!

In such a strange atmosphere, Li Yongzhong finally arrived with Cao Jinliang, Liu Xiaoqi, Chen Mingjiang and others. When the officers saw him coming, many of them felt saved! At that moment, some people said the matter in a few words, and many people looked at him with intriguing eyes - this young team officer had just taken over the heavy responsibility from Qianhu, and now there was such a hot potato in his hands! If you don't handle it well, you have to complain on both sides, and you are not a person inside and out!

The news that Li Yongzhong temporarily took over as a battalion officer has spread throughout the battalion, although most of the soldiers are still unfamiliar with him, but many people, especially Zheng Guocai, Zhou Qian and Feng Baoqun, have dealt with Team D a lot, and even fought side by side, and they know this young man's style very well, so when they saw him coming, some people kowtowed to him at the moment, and begged: "Team Officer Li, please make a statement to the military gate, and choose another one!" You know, the little ones are not afraid of war, but our Xianzi Camp really can't afford to die! ”

Looking around, the small camp was packed with people. Li Yongzhong was watched by many pairs of eyes, and he could see from those countless gazes that he was either defensive, or suspicious, or expectant, or unclear, or indifferent, or contemptuous. These completely different gazes came not only from colleagues of equal rank, but also from the soldiers who had been called around by the officers in the past. In the midst of all these various sights, the young temporary incumbent took a deep breath, calmed down, put away all the distractions in his heart, and slowly, word by word, spoke: "Many people here know me, many may have seen me in the past, but they only know my name and surname, now I will tell you about myself first-my surname is Li, and my name is Li Yongzhong!" The current officer of the D team, not long ago, Chen Qianhu entrusted the Xianzi camp to me, and from now on, I will temporarily take charge of the camp! ”

No one spoke, everyone listened attentively to the strange and familiar officer, he finished a brief self-introduction, took a breath, and then spoke again in a categorical tone: "Fang Cai, I have heard everyone's words, let me say one first-the military order cannot be changed overnight, since the military gate has issued an order, this is a sure thing!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers were in an uproar! The huge wave of discussion is like a wave sweeping over the sea, and it is about to hit people who are unstable and want to fall backwards! The officers also looked at Li Yongzhong, who was still calm, in amazement, and couldn't believe their ears! At that moment, someone blurted out: "Officer Li! Come on! In case of trouble, it's not a trick! Someone else sneered: "Team Officer Li, this is the head of the battalion of more than 1,000 numbers!" It's not your D-team of 100 or so people! Be cautious when you speak! Don't ruin the reputation of our Xianzi camp because of your youth and vigor! ”

Li Yongzhong didn't seem to hear it, he didn't even move an eyebrow on his face, and he didn't look at the officers with different expressions, but walked towards the soldiers! The officers were all taken aback, and someone was going to stretch out their hands to pull him at that moment - no matter what this stunned young man was, he was always Chen Xianda's son-in-law, and he was really the chief officer! Young people don't understand the rules and things, but they can't let him die here without knowing it!

"Nothing." Li Yongzhong dodged slightly, dodged the hands that came to pull him, and only said: "There are all our fellow brothers below, what is there to be afraid of?" After saying that, he took two steps and made one step, and walked to the old soldier who knelt down first!

It was difficult for the soldiers to say what mood they were in looking at Li Yongzhong now. But the long-standing obedience to the officers, the reverence for the inferior and inferior classes, had been engraved in his bones, and when he came over, a large open space flashed like a low tide, and the swarthy eyes on many similar and dissimilar faces were fixed on him, wanting to see what he was going to do.

"Veteran, I have seen you a few times in Team Officer Zhou's team in the past, but you haven't spoken." Facing the veteran's stunned and frightened face, Li Yongzhong spoke with a gentle expression: "Although the timing is not right now, there is time for the two of us to say a few words-" He asked coldly: "You have a lot of scars on your body, do you remember how they all came from?" ”

Although he didn't know Li Yongzhong's intentions, but looking at his expression, he had usually heard a lot about the deeds of this team officer, although the veteran was nervous, but he sobbed his lips, licked his dry skin, and said a little overwhelmed: "The one on this shoulder was cut by a mountain bandit when he was in disagreement with a thousand households to suppress bandits a few years ago; Behind the two, a few years ago, when the Lump An chaos broke out, the barbarian was injured; This scar on his waist is also a shot from the barbarian...... The little one has a big life, but he doesn't die...... And these two ...... on the chest One is the Pingshan Dam...... One in Alomi ......"

"Have you killed all those who are against you?" Li Yongzhong cut off his words and asked. Seeing that the veteran looked dazed, he patiently asked again: "Where are all the people who caught you right that day?" ”

"Hey, what the team officer said doesn't make sense," perhaps it was Li Yongzhong's too young face, and his different style from ordinary officers that made the veteran feel a little good about him, he laughed and said stunnedly: "If the thief is still there, can the little one still be here?" I don't know how high the grass has grown on the grave. ”

Li Yongzhong smiled, walked away from him, and asked another: "I heard you say that your brother followed Qianhu in Liaodong, did he ever kill the enemy?" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then replied loudly with pride: "My brother was the top soldier in the family when he was in front of the saddle of the thousand households, and he was not afraid of the real Tartar!" Later, although he was unfortunately killed in battle, he dragged three Tartars to accompany him on the road! No loss at all! ”

In this way, a few simple questions, nothing more than whether to kill the enemy, whether to be injured, Li Yongzhong did not ask much, not to mention the common scolding and banter of the soldiers in the past, he asked seriously one by one, and did nothing on the side, but the heavy depression that was originally coiled among the soldiers gradually disappeared, and the officers were all people who knew the soldiers, and they looked at each other one by one, and they didn't know what method this Li team officer used, and he actually brought down this tricky game of chess!

After almost asking around, Li Yongzhong returned to the front of the crowd, looked at the soldiers with a solemn face, and praised him without hesitation as soon as he opened his mouth: "I'll tell you the truth, when I first entered the camp, because of the good combat strength of Team D, I have a little contempt for my brothers in my heart!" ”

"But now, I'm going to keep you with you! I was shallow that day! We show the word camp, there is no one of the bad seeds, they are all good men! Good soldiers! Although I was not in the camp in the past, listening to my brothers, I also knew that we had fought a lot of tough battles! How many opponents are stronger than us? But to survive, it was the Manifest Word Battalion! ”

Between heaven and earth, there is only the crackling sound of torches burning, and so many people rarely even hear their breathing.

"In our camp, the father dies and the son replaces, the brother dies and the brother dies, the father and brother are on the same team, and the brothers are in the same team, there are countless of them! As far as I have heard, there are many people whose brothers are dead, and who are wounded himself, but who grit their teeth and kill the enemy, and finally win! In the night, Li Yongzhong's eyes lit up, he looked around, and roared straightly: "Even if the south wall is in front of us, it has broken through!" Find a way out! ”

"Now, the military gate has sent us to fight a tough battle again, and we have to fight with friendly companions who are not very pleasing to people, not to mention brothers, even my own heart is vomiting badly! But also happy! Why? This is not a first-class strong soldier, and it will not be valued so much by the military! I'm happy for my own family, and I'm happy for our Word Camp! ”

"Although I am young, I also bring a group of people, and I have no extra words with my brothers, except one sentence - I have brought them out of Fushun, and I will take them back! Even if I die, I won't let my brother be in the wilderness! Brothers, we are officers and soldiers! In front of military orders, you can only obey! But I promise you, if I charge, I'll be the first, and if I'm back, I'll be the last! ”

"Brothers, will you believe me this time!? Let me take you on a trip to the White Scatter House! (To be continued.) )
