Leaning on the dirt slope and panting, Zheng Huzi touched his waist with his hand, and a red tasseled corpse lying on the other side of the dirt slope suddenly rolled down with the soil bumps, his bloody face and dead fish-like pale eyes were facing Zheng Huzi's face, Zheng Huzi was startled, and then he took a few mouthfuls of it, and forcefully lifted the corpse out, scolding: "His grandma!" It's a waste to die! ”

Liu Fugui couldn't help laughing, but he accidentally touched the wound on his left rib, and his face turned pale under the severe pain.

Both of them were bloody, and Zheng Huzi's face was cut by a projectile an inch, and the flesh was turned over, hideous and terrifying.

Zheng Huzi took out two crumpled cigarette rolls, threw one to Liu Fugui, touched the match, but it was gone, then tore up the cigarette, put it in his mouth and chewed, patted Liu Fugui on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiucai, Xiucai, I didn't expect my brother to die with you, on this Huangquan Road, you don't want to talk to your brother anymore." ”

Liu Fugui chewed tobacco like Zheng Dabeard, extremely bitter, but it seemed that the wound was really not so painful, and when he turned his head to look, the soldiers who were becoming more and more sparse behind the dirt slope were holding their guns in twos and threes, checking the ammunition, and preparing to meet the next onslaught of the Qing army.

Liu Fugui wiped the blood on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Beard, Lao Tzu will still nag in your ear every day in the next life!" ”

Zheng Huzi laughed, then glanced at the direction of Taizhou in the fog, leaned against the land, looked up at the sky, and gradually fell silent.

Liu Fugui turned his head sideways, looking at him strangely through the lonely dead grass, "Hey, why did it suddenly become deeper?" As he spoke, he smiled: "Are you thinking about Kiko?" ”

Zheng Huzi's face turned purple all of a sudden, and then he scolded: "Roll the ball, Lao Tzu has nothing to do with her, it's just that she gave Lao Tzu a purse with a small bean sprout that day, Lao Tzu didn't understand what it meant, and scolded her a few words, now that I think about it, I'm sorry for her." As he spoke, he sighed.

Liu Fugui patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "I understand, I understand." ”

Suddenly, the gunshots started again, Zheng Huzi turned over violently, and spat the blood mixed with tobacco, "Damn, come on, Lao Tzu will become a stinky shit on this Bali slope, and smoke it to death you bastards!" ”

Liu Fugui laughed, turned over and shot.

The sky was thunderous and rolling, but it couldn't hide the earth-shattering shouts and killings on Balipo.

…… Luo Zenan's face became more and more gloomy, I don't know if this is the first wave of offensive that has been repulsed, this small Bali Slope, I am afraid that the soil on the slope has been sifted through like a sieve, but although the flying Qilin flag of the Pingyuan Army is broken, it is fluttering high, and it looks so dazzling at the moment, as if he is mocking his own incompetence, and every time he looks at the flag intertwined with blood and fire, the ambition of his soldiers is also low.

This feeling is so unpleasant, as if the original fragrant and tempting sumptuous meal suddenly turned into a fish bone stuck in the throat, and I couldn't swallow it, and I was so stabbed that I coughed, and I was extremely disappointed.

Luo Zenan sighed softly, the gap between the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and the Pingyuan Army is not only in the weapons and equipment, but also in the spirit and spirit, the sense of courage and honor gradually formed by the victorious army, and the glorious tradition and confidence of the foreign brigades that have fought against Russia, Britain, and France, all of which are beyond the reach of the Qing Dynasty.

Looking at this soil slope silently with a clairvoyant mirror, looking at the sparse steel helmet that was hidden at that time, Luo Zenan knew that this army had finally gradually become the end of the crossbow, and as long as the next attack continued to be fierce, it would definitely be achieved overnight.

But I don't know why, I feel a little sorry in my heart, they are all good men, but I got on the thief ship.

Luo Zenan gently beckoned to the flag soldiers, "Give the Kunzi battalion an order!" Prepare for the attack. "The Kunzi battalion is his own army, equipped with all French fast guns, which have not been put on the battlefield, and the wolf cubs must be holding back their howls, and they will definitely be able to deal the most fatal blow to the remnants of this gray-headed army.

But there is a sense of defeat in my heart, I attack in turn, and in the end, I even have to dispatch the elite of my own pro-army, can this battle be said to be a victory?

…… In an alley in Taizhou City, the delicate Captain Zhang was thanking Boss Ma Taofang Ma repeatedly, the wounded, the health team, and the long-term husband team were all withdrawn, and with the help of Boss Ma, the wounded who were seriously injured and could not move were hidden in the homes of several inconspicuous poor people.

Captain Zhang's repeated thanks naturally made Boss Ma feel comfortable, but then Captain Zhang's words made him bitter, "Boss Ma, you and your family had better hide for a few days, lest the puppet army find you trouble." ”

Boss Ma then remembered his situation, it was also extremely dangerous, if according to the consistent practice of the pseudo-Qing officials, he was a capital crime of raiding his house, supporting the mules and horses of the gray-headed army, and fornicating with bandits to treat the wounded of the gray-headed army, which of these is enough to cut off the head.

With a wry smile, Boss Ma's ice and fire, the stark contrast between the gray-headed army and the puppet Qing army could not be clearer at this moment.

"And." Captain Zhang thought about it, and solemnly handed over a small cloth bag to Boss Ma, the small cloth bag is a metal aluminum box, which contains more than a dozen branches of life element injection, this life element is a project funded by Guangzhou Hospital and Taihe Bank, jointly researched mycotocin, Captain Zhang has participated in the whole process, I heard that this project has been under the guidance of the regent who has learned the East and the West, and named penicillin or life element, and the theory of bacterial infection has gradually entered the research stage under the inspiration of the regent.

This is a new drug that can effectively inhibit wound infection, and how exciting its advent is very clear to Zhang Yan'er, who has a very solid medical theory, she clearly remembers the scene of Chinese and foreign doctors and biologists hugging and shedding tears in the laboratory when the test was successful, and because during the war, the General's Mansion signed a confidentiality agreement with all the personnel involved in the experiment, and the drug information was not allowed to be leaked. This time it will be even more sensational, because it is a great discovery that can almost change the course of human life.

Although the life element has serious allergies, and may even be fatal, but because of the current hand-cultivated and refined, the yield is extremely low, so it can only be used on the most easily infected seriously injured to save their lives, and this flaw is negligible, and if calculated in terms of the value of life, this branch injection can almost be said to be a priceless treasure, Captain Zhang has always kept it with him, and this is also the only few left.

Boss Ma took the cloth bag and asked in amazement, "What is this?" ”

Ma Dashan, the captain of the garrison team responsible for protecting the safety of the health team, and Xiao Wang, the health officer, also looked at Captain Zhang suspiciously.

As the name suggests, Ma Dashan is as strong as a hill, and he has been strictly ordered by the three treasures, and more than a dozen soldiers of his garrison are responsible for protecting the safety of the health team.

Captain Zhang smiled: "You don't care, go get busy, in short, please help me keep these potions." ”

Boss Ma nodded again and again, at this moment, he was concerned about the safety of his family, and when he heard the faint gunshot, he stopped again, so he beat the drum in his heart, and hurried back to hide with his family, as for this thing, he didn't care about asking what it was, anyway, there were too many new things in the gray head army, and he didn't understand if he asked.

Only then did Captain Zhang turn to Ma Dashan and say, "Brother Ma, I want to go to Balipo to have a look." ”

Ma Dashan was stunned, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, let's hurry up, hurry up." Without waiting for Captain Zhang to argue, he said resolutely: "Doctor Zhang, don't say it, if you must insist, then I can only tie you up." "But no, Ma Dashan would rather lose his head than let the health team suffer a loss, otherwise, the female baby of the health team fell into the hands of the puppet army, not to mention Ma Dashan, this is simply a shame for all the officers and soldiers of the fourth town, in the future, the people of the fourth town can still hold their heads up in front of the brother troops?

Boss Ma also stopped and kindly persuaded: "Sir, you should hurry up, those Huai'an sticks are all broken." ”

Xiao Wang is eager to try, obviously, he also wants to go to the front line.

Outside the city, the gunfire stopped, but the silence before the storm was even more terrifying.

Ma Dashan's heart also seemed to have pressed a big stone, he knew better than anyone else, the brothers on the Bali slope, afraid that they would not be able to support it anymore, gritted their teeth, and shouted: "Someone! Take the rope! ”

…… Luo Zenan was about to wave his hand to order the Kunzi battalion to attack, when he suddenly saw a fast horse galloping over, looking at the outfit, it was a sentry, before he got close, someone had already stopped him, the sentry rolled off the horse, and ran to this side, shouting as he ran: "My lord, my lord, there are a large number of gray-headed thieves in Xiaonanhe, yes, it is the fourth town, the fourth town......"

Luo Zenan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" ”

"There are so many gray thieves, too many to count!" The sentry wept and peed his pants in fear.

Luo Zenan frowned and said, "It's a patrol battalion, right?" ”

"No, it's Zhao Sanbao's gray-headed soldier......" The little colonel saw that the coach's face was uncertain, and then he remembered what kind of system he had become in a panic? Hanging his head, he didn't dare to look at Luo Zenan.

"How is that possible? Do you see clearly? "Obviously, Zhao Sanbao's gray army is hundreds of miles away, how can it be that he has arrived in Taizhou in a blink of an eye?

The little colonel said categorically: "The little one is really real!" ”

Luo Zenan's face gradually became solemn, and at this moment, another fast horse galloped over, and it was discovered by the sentry, and the traces of the gray-headed soldiers were found near Zhouzhuang in the north.

A quick horse reported, all of them found the military information of the gray-headed army, Luo Zenan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and the enemy traces were found in all directions, and the nearest gray-headed army in the Zhouzhuang area was only three or two miles away from here, Luo Zenan looked back at the northern hills, only afraid to stand on the hill, looking at it with a clair-mile mirror, he could already see the long dragon of the gray-headed army's rapid march.

Hit the trick! Luo Zenan suddenly woke up to the fact that the so-called gray-headed army a hundred miles away was just a Pingyuan patrol battalion or a militia pretending to be, wearing the military uniform of the fourth town to confuse himself, just to lure the king into the urn, and the main force he hid could find himself for a decisive battle.

Luo Zenan's mind was spinning, taking advantage of the fact that the encirclement had not been completed now, finding a breakthrough to break through was the last chance to get out, but, where to break through?

Zhao Sanbao's fourth town was not surrounded by so many soldiers and horses, and it must have ordered the Guangdong and Fujian patrol battalions and even the militia regiments that had entered Zhejiang to reinforce them to wear the uniforms of the gray-headed army, and they had to choose the weakest point in their encirclement to attack, and they must not hit the muzzle of Zhao Sanbao's main force.

Looking at the map, Luo Zenan knew that the more he hesitated, the more the other party's encirclement shrank, and after a little pondering, he pointed to the map and said, "Order Li Maosan to meet the enemy of Zhouzhuang!" In an instant, he thought that if he didn't set up a bait to lure Zhao Sanbao's main force, he was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out.

One after another orders were passed down, Luo Zenan stared deeply at the small mound that was close at hand but he couldn't climb half a step, on the mound, the tattered Qilin Banner was hunted and moved by the wind.

A good Balipo, a good gray-headed army, a good Zhao Sanbao.

Luo Zenan turned over and got on his horse, then hit the horse and left, never looking back.

…… In Taizhou City, when the sound of horns sounded faintly from all directions, Ma Dashan immediately looked surprised, "It's our people, it's Sanbaoye!" ”

Although Captain Zhang and Xiao Wang were not bound, they were also forced to go east by him and his guards, and Boss Ma was also in the team, and he was coming to East Street to prepare to say goodbye to the commanders of the Gray Head Army.

"Have your reinforcements arrived?" Boss Ma was also in good spirits, he was really reluctant to take his family out to avoid trouble, there was no one in the family, and the army entered the city, and there was no valuables left.

Ma Dashan was overjoyed, nodded and smiled: "Yes, Boss Ma, I don't think you have to hide, Sanbao Ye is here like this, the puppet army has to pee their pants in fear, how dare they enter the city?" ”

Captain Zhang said hurriedly: "Then, I'll go to Balipo now, Brother Ma doesn't object, right?" ”

Ma Dashan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I'll accompany you." ”

Boss Ma secretly spoke, and said in his heart that these military masters are really not afraid of death, even if reinforcements come, will they definitely win the battle? I better go back early, pack up the softness, and if there is really a disturbance, I will hurry to the small house to avoid trouble.

On the hill of Balipo, listening to the faint sound of horns in the distance, Zheng Huzi slowly stood up, the red tassels were slowly retreating, but Zheng Huzi had no intention of joy, turned his head to look, there were corpses in a pool of blood, and those who stood up with him, dozens of people, almost all of them hung colors, supported each other to stand up, the mud and blood stains on the gray military uniforms were almost solidified together, and the blood and mud were like people.

"Xiucai! Scholar! Zheng Huzi shouted twice, but there was no answer, and immediately felt anxious, leaned over to open a corpse, under a ** attack, he was exhausted, and the last time he used a bayonet to force back the attack of the red tassel, and then he was so tired that he almost fainted, but he didn't know where Xiucai went.

"Xiucai!" Zheng Huzi finally sat down weakly and slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a corpse covered in dirt slowly squirmed. finally turned over with great effort, it was Liu Fugui, but his delicate face had a few more bloody wounds, but it was completely broken.

Zheng Huzi didn't have the strength to stand up, looked at Xiucai's bloody wounds, and nodded: "Damn, you look much more pleasing to the eye now!" ”

Liu Fugui spat out blood, fell on his back on the mound and gasped, ignoring him.
