425 Shen Lie
Donghai, the temporary headquarters of the Ceylon garrison in the southeast peninsula, Shen Lie was supported by an officer, and he was very reluctant to stand in front of a huge map. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
His face was pale, and he was clearly unaccustomed to the humid climate of the Southeastern Peninsula. However, his eyes were still fixed on the map, as if he wanted to see the solution to the current disadvantaged situation from above.
Vinh has become a front-line city, and in a few days, tens of thousands of Ceylonese troops have been annihilated. The army of the Ming Empire was storming Rong City, which made him feel a huge pressure.
"Ahem! Ahem! Thinking of the pressure, Shen Lie couldn't suppress his throat, let out a violent coughing sound, and the whole person was forced to bend down.
He coughed violently, and if it weren't for the officer's support, he would probably have fallen to the ground. However, even if someone was holding him, the painful appearance showed that his current condition was not very good.
"Ahem! Ahem! With a sweet throat and a mouthful of blood spit on the ground, Shen Lie finally stopped coughing violently and stabilized his body.
He raised his head, took out his handkerchief, skillfully wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then threw the bloody handkerchief on the ground disapprovingly.
"It's bitter, the two brothers Baihe and Ruyu...... Such an opponent is really difficult to deal with to the extreme. With a wry smile, Shen Lie sighed with emotion.
During these two days, he gathered the rout of Ceylon, re-established the defensive line, dug trenches to replenish the troops, and every day he had no time to rest, and his physical condition deteriorated sharply.
However, even if he has struggled with all his strength, regardless of life or death, the army of the Ming Empire is still like a bone appendage, and it cannot be dispersed.
Almost all the way to the retreat of Ceylon, the army of the Ming Empire attacked the city, and there was no intention of stopping at all, until the outskirts of Rong City, it suddenly stopped its own pace of advance.
As if afraid of Miao Shengye's arrival, the Ming Empire stopped at a dangerous critical point, showing the terrifyingly precise control ability of the opposing commander, and the detachment that calculates everything.
It is often your enemies who know you best. This sentence is sometimes very illustrative, and the easiest way to understand a person's horror is to stand on his opposite.
Shen Lie gave his opponent, that is, Wang Jue, the commander of the Ming Empire, the highest evaluation, and he even had an idea in his mind that the other party was even more powerful than Miao Shengye.
This is the highest honor, although Shen Lie is not in good health, he is indeed a very powerful commander, which can be seen from the fact that he was able to survive with a broken arm and stop the pace of Ceylon's rout under Wang Jue's offensive.
He gave Wang Jue such a high evaluation, which showed that he was really afraid of the young man in his twenties opposite.
Shen Baihe and Shen Ruyu were placed by Shen Lie on the defensive node of Rong City, which was a decision made by Shen Lie for the sake of his family.
In his own opinion, these two children of the Shen family are still very good, even if they are not natural geniuses, they are definitely smart and crable people.
It is definitely a waste to lose them in Rong City now - but he can't help it, and someone has to take the blame for the passive situation in Ceylon now.
"Reinforcements of 3,000 people in Rong City, hold there as much as possible! Ahem! After saying this to the officer who was supporting him, Shen Lie coughed again.
The Shen family lost two talents at once, how could it not make his heart ache as an elder? Pulling his mental strength, Shen Lie felt that his body had become uncontrollably painful.
He knew that his time was short, so he didn't care about his body, and now he tried his best to stabilize the battle situation and get back the last bit of points for the Shen family, which was his last little wish before he died.
And his crippled body only has such a little effect left-even the accompanying doctors know that now Shen Lie's appearance is like this, and he can't go back to Ceylon at all.
This is the place where his bones are buried!
"Reinforcements of 5,000 people to Beishan! Strengthen the defense line between Beishan and Rongshi! Maintain the status quo as much as possible! Don't do anything to fight back! He coughed twice, stabilized his emotions, and continued to command.
Like a tinker, he can only tinker with the battered defensive lines, trying to get the troops of Ceylon back to the familiar environment of fixed position defense.
In order to achieve this purpose, he even asked some local troops to counterattack and send them to the Ming Empire troops to eat them!
Suddenly, Shen Lie felt a strong discomfort, he was dizzy, and he was about to faint as soon as it was dark in front of him, but he still managed not to fall, shaking and standing firmly.
"Miao Shengye! If you don't come again! I just can't hold on anymore! Shen Lie silently recited this sentence in his heart, and then opened his eyes again after a long while.
"Help me...... Note...... One command! He struggled and said to the officers beside him, "If you are negotiating...... No, my lord, I had an accident before I arrived. Only...... Just prohibit any counterattack and stand still! Hang on...... Hold on until the speaker arrives, so far! ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at his henchman officer with difficulty: "Don't ...... Don't make any changes to my deployment! Shen Baihe, Shen Ruyu, no! ”
The officer who was holding him had tears in his eyes, nodded, and then asked, "General...... Call a doctor? Longevity without borders? ”
The so-called longevity is the medical morphine, and everyone in Ceylon is reluctant to call this medicine by a very vulgar name, so it is given a strange name.
"Good! Go ahead! While finding a chair, his henchmen helped him to sit down, and then he walked to the door and went to the guard to call a doctor.
The doctor is not far from this headquarters, but the headquarters in Ceylon does not allow idle people to stay for no reason, so the doctor is not stationed here.
When the doctor arrived with the medical kit, Shen Lie was still sitting in his chair. But he was no longer breathing, and closed his eyes forever.
Approaching Shen Lie, the doctor reached out and touched Shen Lie's pulse, and there was no movement on his warm wrist. He shuddered and withdrew his hand, shaking his head at Shen Lie's henchmen and the few generals who had arrived.
On the morning of January 14, Shen Lie, a general of the Shen family who was cleaning up the mess on the front line against the southward troops of the Ming Empire, exhausted his mental strength and died of illness in Donghai at the age of 51.
