Chapter 31: Resisting to the Death

Everyone else in the room was stunned by Sikong's actions, and Bairi was killed in a way they couldn't have imagined. Barry was the leader of their entire rebel army, and now that the leaders were dead, the rebel troops were like headless flies, and they didn't need to be beaten by Duozan at all, and they were a mess of sand.

After a while, everyone's hearing was almost restored, and then I heard Sikong say: "Listen to me, now that Dozan's army has come over, if we run now, we won't be able to escape from Silver Tower City at all, and they will be captured and wiped out." Now it's time to fight against them, and only by fighting them can you save your life. Come with me! ”

Now that Lige is gone, and Priry is dead, Sikong has become the supreme commander of the rebels, and these people will not listen to him. So they all rushed out with him, only to find that the rebels had collapsed without a fight, and fled in all directions like a big gathering.

Sikong took the pistol and fired a few shots into the sky, and only then did some people stop. Sikong roared and shouted: "Everyone listen, it's too late to run now, let's fight them first, and if we really can't resist it, we will slowly retreat." Running around like this will only catch turtles in other people's urns, and only by twisting into a rope can you stay alive! ”

After Sikong's efforts, he actually gathered a team of hundreds of people, most of whom were soldiers of his Second Guard before. Fei Bo didn't know where to run in the chaotic army, and Sikong couldn't care about it so much. Ordering these hundred or so people to take enough weapons and ammunition, and then return to the trenches on the front line, Sikong personally led the team, which inspired these people to have great courage.

After returning to the trenches, it was seen that Xilin and Xilin's vanguard had slowly advanced to the middle of the positions of both sides after the shelling. Although Cheng Lei and the others could clearly see the situation of the opposite position at the lookout post, they had no time to inform these vanguard troops.

After receiving the news, the follow-up troops all stopped moving forward, and released their guns to inform the vanguard to retreat immediately, but it was too late. Gunfire rang out from the opposite position, and dozens of people in the vanguard were stopped on the spot, all of them prostrate on the ground.

Then the rebels began to bombard with sentry guns, and one shell after another fell on the side of the vanguard, and the soldiers died one by one. Sikong was even more excited when he saw this scene, and urged him to continue firing artillery, wanting to wipe out all the vanguard troops on the spot.

At this time, the army of Silver Tower City also began to act, and the two cannons opened fire at the same time, firing shells at the rebel positions in a desperate manner. There is only one purpose, that is, to make the rebels bombarded with no more heads, and then the vanguard here can withdraw as much as they can.

It's not that Duke Duozan cherishes the lives of these vanguard soldiers, but if he doesn't save them now, and then send someone to be the vanguard in the future, I'm afraid everyone will have to think about it. The vanguard is not a death squad, let alone a death squad, who will do the battle with their own lives!

However, although the power of the two cannons is strong, the firing frequency is very low, and it takes a while to reload the cannonballs and fire a single shot. As a result, the rebel artillery continued to fire shells at Sikong's urging.

In a minute, Sikong's sentry cannon could take away the lives of several vanguard troops, and at this moment, the cannon sound on the side of the Silver Tower suddenly intensified. The rebel positions were stunned by the sudden and intensive artillery bombardment.

Of course, Duke Dozan was also closely observing everything on the battlefield, and this sudden help also made him feel strange. looked for the source of the cannon, but found that the power came from the howitzer on Cheng Lei's chariot.

Of course, he didn't know that it was howitzers, but he found that these small cannons, which didn't look big, were as powerful as the ones he had spent so much effort and money to get, and even better. Duke Duozan really admires Cheng Lei's gang from the bottom of his heart, not only is their combat effectiveness extraordinary, but their weapons and equipment are not comparable to ordinary armies at all.

Looking up at the lookout post on the second floor, Duke Duozan saw Cheng Lei make a reassuring gesture to him. He also gestured back with satisfaction, but his heart was tumbling, if he could subdue Cheng Lei's army for his own use, and develop it for a period of time.

When their numbers reach a certain level, there may be no opponents at all in this Scorching Sun Federation. At that time, he will definitely be windy and rainy, who would dare to provoke him? Moreover, he will be able to open up countless sources of wealth, and by then I am afraid that even the Western empire will not be able to restrain him.

But this is just a fantasy, a few days ago he promised Cheng Lei a heavy profit and wanted to share the world with him equally, but Cheng Lei did not agree. Later, he asked his illegitimate daughter Xiling to persuade Cheng Lei to let him collect his power and wealth, but he did not agree. This man is simply weird, what exactly does he want?

Duke Dozan has seen those who do not love money, but he loves sex, and he has also seen those who do not love sex, but he loves power. But I really haven't seen anyone who doesn't love anything, what's the point of living in the world like this? In fact, what he doesn't know is that Cheng Lei actually loves all three, which man doesn't want to have supreme power, countless money, and peerless beauties by his side?

No, Cheng Lei himself knows very well that without his own brothers, he is nothing, and it is not worth mentioning at all. So he first has to fight for the best interests of the players, and then he can satisfy his own **. Otherwise, if you only care about your own **, then you are really not as good as a beast.

The vanguard of the Yinta army was successfully rescued by Duke Duozan's two cannons and Cheng Lei's howitzers, and less than twenty people were successfully rescued. Less than half of the ranks of dozens of people remained, which also strongly hit the morale of the Silver Tower army.

However, the rebels were not comfortable on their side, Sikong counted carefully, and after the intense artillery bombardment, there were more than 70 people left in the hundreds, which was not much less than the casualties of the opponent's vanguard.

"Lord Sikong, if there is another shelling, our people will really not be able to hold on, I think we should run while fighting!" An officer next to Sikong said. This person's name is Shi Xiaohai, and now in the rebel army, except for Sikong, the deputy captain of the second guard team has the largest official position, and he is also Sikong's old subordinate and confidant.

Sikong looked at the soldiers who were blown up by the artillery bombing and looked like ghosts in hell, he couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, hesitated for a while and said: "Okay, this blockade just now also made the other party have some thoughts of throwing rat traps, let's start retreating while the smoke of the cannon is not over!" However, we must retreat in an orderly manner, you take the wounded soldiers and the old and weak first, and I and the others will hold on for a while. ”

"Lord Sikong, aren't you leaving? It's better for you to go first, and I'll lead someone to hold on for a while! Shi Xiaohai's eyes were a little moist, he knew that if he left now, then there would be a great possibility of survival, but if he stayed and persevered, it was very likely that he would die here.

Sikong waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, the wounded soldiers are waiting for you!" I will soon catch up with them, and now the horses have been ridden away by those who have run, and let go of those who have run away, otherwise it would have been faster if I could have ridden them. Let's go! ”

Shi Xiaohai's voice was a little choked and said, "Lord Sikong, I will wait for you, you must hurry up and catch up!" After speaking, he wiped his tears while arranging for people to start retreating.

"Brothers, most of you have been following me, and you also know my Sikong's temper, which is absolutely with my brothers in life and death, blessings and hardships! The people of my second guard are all carefully selected by me, I don't ask you to work hard, it is best to live, let's buy a little time for those wounded soldiers, and hold on for a little longer, how about it! ”

"Good! Hold! ”

"Hold on! Hold! The crowd shouted slogans in unison.

Duke Duozan was drinking tea with Cheng Lei in the council hall, and when he heard the slogan of the opposite position, he was a little strange, and asked Du Modao: "What is the other side shouting?" ”

Du Mo went to the front of the position and listened for a while, and then came back and replied: "Your Excellency Duke, they are shouting to hold on, that is, they have been shouting to hold on and hold on." ”

"Oh?" Duke Duozan was a little confused: "What are they doing suddenly shouting this?" ”

Cheng Lei took a sip of tea and said in a flat tone: "In my opinion, they are starting to retreat." ”

Duke Dozan was a little puzzled: "Didn't they shout to hold on, how could they retreat?" ”

"They let some people withdraw first, the rest hold on, and the rest of the people will withdraw after a while." Cheng Lei said confidently: "As for shouting slogans, this is emboldening yourself, His Excellency the Duke said that Lige ran away and Baili died, so the commander must be your younger brother Sikong, I didn't expect this guy to have two hits, didn't you say that he was a wine bag and rice bag?" ”

At this moment, Zheng Bin on the lookout post ran down: "The rebels have begun to retreat!" ”

Cheng Lei looked at Duke Duozan and said, "How about it, I'm right, right?" ”

Duke Duozan was very excited: "Du Mo, you immediately convey my order, and now attack in a big way!" ”

"Wait." Cheng Lei stopped Du Mo, then looked at Duke Duozan and said, "Your Excellency, you don't want your army to lose too much, do you?" Now they are shouting slogans and the morale of the army is greatly lifted, if they attack at this time, they will definitely resist to the death, then the losses must be very large. ”

Duke Duozan now admired Cheng Lei very much, so he asked, "Then when do you say you will attack?" ”

"Then we have to wait, when all the people on their positions start to retreat......" Cheng Lei blinked his eyes slyly and said with a smile.
