Chapter Forty-Six: There Is No Cave
Liang Changlin's two thousand Qing troops held out under the Russian artillery fire for two full hours, and they repelled three Russian attacks, including the one with the Russian vanguard, which was the fourth, killing and wounding more than 700 Russian soldiers in total.
The city wall was already full of holes, and those heavy guns were also killed by the Russian artillery, looking at the less than five hundred brothers around him who were still alive, Liang Changlin's face that was cut by a bullet had a bloody wound with a sadness that could not be concealed.
The passion has long been extinguished by the Russian artillery fire, and now their hearts are full of despair, if they could surrender without killing, they would have surrendered a long time ago, and everyone knows that when the Russians rush again, they will no longer be able to stop it.
Liu Su's leg was also injured by the bomb, and he limped to Liang Changlin's side: "Dutong, I can't fight anymore, the city gate can no longer be guarded, let the brothers retreat." ”
Liang Changlin smiled bitterly: "Do you think I don't want to?" But there are old hairies all around, where can we retreat? In the past, we could still surrender, at most we were arrested to work as laborers, and it was no big deal. But not this time, look outside, we killed so many old Maozi, they won't let us go. ”
Liu Su's hand held the wall, his eyes looked at Liang Changlin and he didn't speak, and after a while, Liang Changlin said: "Fight, when the Russians rush up again, I will be the first to go up, and the big guy will follow." ”
Everyone didn't say anything, they knew that their fate could not be changed, and they originally expected Zaitao to send reinforcements, but now except for the quiet area around them, it is obvious that they are only an early warning in Zaitao's tactical arrangement.
There may be some remorse, some resentment, and some despair in their hearts, but they all understand that what Liang Changlin said is right, and they are destined to die, so it is better to simply be a real man. Every Qing soldier was checking their rifles, looking at their guns, they were even more emotional, they felt for the first time that they were holding a gun in their hands, this feeling was about to end so soon, and there was a faint sense of loss that made them stunned.
Liu Su looked at Liang Changlin for a while, and suddenly took out a letter from his arms: "Dutong, I originally thought I would wait until the evening to give it to you, but it was about to get dark." But Lao Maozi must rush again, I don't know if I can still live, I'll give it to you now, your old acquaintance wrote it for you. ”
Liang Changlin took the letter with some suspicions, he knew a few words, and looked at the envelope that said "Brother Liang Lin Jinqi", very polite, like a literati. But as soon as he saw the payment, Liang Changlin's face immediately changed, and he shouted in his mouth: "Yang beats ghosts!" ”
Then he raised his head sharply to look at Liu Su, and the muzzle of the gun was raised and aimed at Liu Su's head: "Are you a bandit from Yulu Mountain?" Say! What are you doing with me? ”
Several Qing soldiers around also stood up at the same time, facing Liang Changlin's muzzle and the hostile gaze of the Qing soldiers around him, Liu Su smiled: "Dutong, I have fought hard with you until now, what do you say I am going to do?" I've been with you for more than a year, so why do you have to wait until today? ”
Liang Changlin's muzzle dropped slightly, but he hadn't put it down yet.
Liu Su swallowed a mouthful of spit: "Look at the general letter, it tells you that there is a tunnel in the dry well at the most corner of the west of the city, which leads directly to Houma Town, and the general manager arranged someone there to pick up the brothers, he originally said, as long as you can keep it until dark, let me show you the way to live." Now I see that my brothers are doing their best, and I have been with you for so long, and I feel uncomfortable watching my brothers fall one by one. I'll bring it to you, believe it or not, and it's up to you whether you can go or not. ”
Liang Changlin gasped for breath, he was really shocked. It is no secret that Yang Xiaolin is digging tunnels, and it is impossible to ensure that the news is not leaked while spending a lot of manpower. But Liang Changlin never thought that this Yang Da ghost had actually dug the tunnel into his city! I didn't expect that Yang Xiaolin would send someone to tell him at this time, so that he had a way to live. …,
He absolutely believed that this was true, but Liang Changlin didn't know what to say for a while. He didn't consider Zaitao's feelings, from a personal point of view, Liang Changlin thought that he had persevered so far and was good enough to be worthy of the prince. But Yang fought the ghost to help him escape, which really surprised him.
The muzzle of his gun slowly drooped, and Liu Su said: "If you want to go quickly, I'm bleeding, and I'm afraid that I really won't be able to walk away if it's late." ”
Walk! Of course, there is no reason not to go. Don't say that this road was opened by Yang Dagui, it was opened by Lord Yama, as long as there is still a glimmer of life, Liang Changlin will not hesitate to go down.
The four hundred Qing troops quickly withdrew to the dry well in Xicheng, and looked down from the dry well, and could not find anything abnormal, but after Liang Changlin moved away the few slightly spit stones under the well wall according to Yang Xiaolin's letter, a dark hole appeared in front of them.
Liang Changlin was overjoyed in his heart, and he was even more surprised after entering from the hole, the whole tunnel was dug very large, more than a meter wide, and two brothers could walk side by side by bending over. There was already the sound of Russian artillery from above, and he didn't dare to stop, he lit a torch and touched it forward, and the Qing army grabbed the coat of the person in front of him, and the speed of the march was really not slow.
Liu Su walked with a few people in Zuihou, and when all the Qing troops came in, they blew up the dry well.
The Russians rushed into Fushun City, only to find that the defenders were all gone. Lao Maozi searched for a long time and did not find where these people had left, seeing that it was already dark, Major General Stessel did not let out a breath in his heart, and he did not pursue it anymore.
It's better to rest early, today was delayed a lot by the Qing Dynasty troops in this city, and the major general knew that the three days he had told the commander might be a little dangerous, so he had to speed up some tomorrow.
Liang Changlin didn't know how long he had been walking in the tunnel, let alone how long he had walked. Anyway, he is moving forward as fast as he can, this tunnel is really well dug, and there is still a ventilation hole left every time he walks a section, some of this ventilation hole is straight, you can see the sunlight above, and some are curved, Liang Changlin is sure that even if he sees these ventilation holes outside, he will definitely think that it is a mouse hole or something.
There are also drainage ditches in the tunnels, which can drain all the rainwater deep into the ground, and there is also a gate every other section of the road, as long as the door is closed, the tunnel can be cut in two, if you encounter the enemy in this tunnel, you only need two guns to guard any of the doors, and the enemy can't rush through no matter how much.
Yang beat the ghost in such a huge project, Liang Changlin is now sure that the Russians can fight themselves for a while, if Yang fights the ghost, he doesn't know how to lose.
Just as he sighed, the trend of the tunnel suddenly changed, and there began to be some slopes of xiangshang, and it became narrower and narrower, and only one person was allowed to move forward. After walking less than a few dozen meters like this, a ray of moonlight shot into the tunnel, and Liang Changlin knew that it was over.
He hurried to the light, and as soon as his hand was at the mouth of the tunnel, he heard someone say, "Is it a brother from Fushun?" ”
Liang Changlin responded: "Yes! ”
A hand grabbed his arm very forcefully and lifted him up. (The second more, ask for recommendation votes, ask for all kinds of support!) )
