Chapter 917: Thank you for your leniency
Chapter 917: Thank you for your leniency
The first battle of the foreigners' attack on Penglai Island retreated in the cheers of the Han people, although the battle was not very long, but the tragedy will not be forgotten by everyone who experienced it for a lifetime. The corpses on the beach were stacked on top of each other, and the Opru Empire's troops, who had the upper hand on firearms, did not take the island as easily as expected, and they saw the resolute fighting spirit and indomitable fighting spirit of the Han Chinese.
When the enemy fled, Yan Li couldn't help but sit on the ground.
His eyes kept looking at the one-armed man, the rich boy who grew up in fine clothes and jade food, in this battle, what Mu Xianjun showed shocked people's hearts.
Yan Li never thought that Mu Xianjun would fight so the battlefield.
Don't fight for your life.
When he saw the bright and bright smile on Mu Xianjun's face, he suddenly felt that he should congratulate Mu Xianjun.
At this time, Yan Li had only one feeling in his heart...... Little grandfather, come out.
Mu Xianjun sat down next to Yan Li, a little tired.
He looked sideways at his empty sleeve, his eyes were no longer as low and sad as before, Yan Li understood Mu Xianjun's eyes, so he couldn't help laughing. He laughed, and Mu Xianjun laughed too.
"Little grandfather...... You're not the same today as you were before! ”
Yan Li said with a smile.
Mu Xianjun hummed, unable to hide his joy.
If there is a demon in everyone's heart, it shackles everyone to take a key step. Some people are born with demons in their hearts, perhaps because they are born with fear, or they are born with cowardice, or they are born with laziness. Some people's demons are given by others, such as ...... gave Mu Xianjun a solution to the demons in his heart.
The broken arm has always been a pass that Mu Xianjun can't get around after Fang Xie left, he is depressed, he is panicked all day long, he knows that something is wrong, but that demon is there. The man named Fang Xie was better than him, more decisive than him, and stronger than him.
Whenever he saw his bare shoulders, especially when he was taking a bath, Mu Xianjun even had the idea of breaking himself many times.
He felt that no matter what he did in the future, he would not succeed.
But today, on the battlefield, Mu Xianjun found himself. found the once proud and domineering self.
"Perhaps, it was the best decision I've ever made."
Mu Xianjun patted Yan Li's shoulder: "Fight side by side with you." ”
Yan Li could feel the change in Mu Xianjun, and the change was so obvious. He lay back on the bleeding beach, looked at Bi Baiyun and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will hate me, little grandfather, in fact, I really don't want to be a companion on the battlefield with you before today." If a man is scheming for too long, he will become cowardly and dare not face danger directly. What is needed on the battlefield is a direct man, not a smart man......"
"Looks like I'm stupid."
Mu Xianjun laughed, not angry at all at all at Yan Li's straightforward words.
"Little grandfather, I admire you!"
Yan Li turned his head to look at Mu Xianjun: "If I had experienced everything you had experienced, maybe I wouldn't have been able to get out." You are the most admirable warrior on the battlefield today, and without you, today's battle might have been much harder. ”
"Because my surname is Mu."
Mu Xianjun also lay down, ignoring the fact that his white clothes were dirty, and in fact, his white clothes had already been completely dirty, and he was almost sent to the bottom of the sea by artillery fire on the Super warship.
"Maybe I didn't understand what the most important thing about the surname Mu was, so I took a lot of wrong paths. But today, I finally understand what my father's beliefs have supported Dongjiang for so many years. I suddenly understood...... Why is he so unbearable when facing the solution? When I saw Fang Jie, I felt that I was inferior to him in any way, so I began to hate in my heart, I always thought that only by killing him could I break the heart demon, especially after he broke one of my arms......"
He smiled: "Perhaps, I should thank Fang Xie for cutting off one of my arms." ”
Yan Li said: "Break and then stand, and survive in a desperate situation...... Little grandfather, don't you hate him anymore? ”
"Don't hate?"
Mu Xianjun laughed: "How can you not hate, if we meet again, I will definitely avenge the broken arm." But I now understand that even if I resist, I must admit that I am indeed inferior to him. In the past, it was not hatred at all, but jealousy, which can make a person lose his mind, which is worse than hatred. Hate may make people lose their minds, but it can also make people more sober. ”
Yan Li couldn't help but wave his fist: "This is a man!" ”
Mu Xianjun pillowed his one-armed: "I found myself...... It feels so good. ”
……
……
Since the afternoon, the reinforcements of the Mu Mansion have planned to force their way over to support Penglai Island, but there is no doubt that the dominance of the people of the Opru Empire at sea is unshakable. Mufu's fleet was vulnerable to the foreigners' artillery, and neither large nor small ships could pass through the sea route blocked by the Opru Imperial Navy.
Other words
Next, maybe a few days, maybe until all the battles were killed, the Mufu soldiers on Penglai Island and the fishermen who volunteered to participate in the war could only fight alone.
"The pressure of the brothers on the island must be shared!"
Mu Fu General Mo Leiting's eyes were red, and he couldn't penetrate the blockade of the Opru Imperial Navy after several attempts, and his heart was as anxious as if he was on fire. But it was useless for him to be in a hurry, with the combat power of Mufu's fleet, he was far from being able to compete with the gunboats of the Opru Imperial Navy.
"How long will the supplies on the island last?"
Morey asked.
His subordinates replied with ugly faces: "When I went to the island, I was in a hurry, and the follow-up supplies were sent over before the foreigners arrived, so if you save some...... The 5,000 soldiers on the island can support half a month. However, if the enemy attacks with all his might, the people on the island may not be able to hold out for fifteen days......"
Boom!
Mo Leiting smashed his fist on the big tree next to him: "If something happens to the little grandfather, how can I explain to the grandfather!" ”
He was silent for a while and then gritted his teeth: "Attack!" Attack forward at any cost, and bring the little grandfather back from Penglai Island no matter what! Even if the little grandfather is a good cultivator, it is impossible to cross such a long sea area. Tell the people below, I'll personally lead the team to rush again in a while! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a horse galloped in the distance.
"Grandpa Guo's military order!"
The herald rode in front of Mo Leiting, did not dismount and shouted: "Grandpa Guo has arrived less than fifty miles away from here, and he already knows about the battle on Penglai Island. Grandpa Guo strictly ordered that before his arrival, no one was allowed to lead troops to forcibly attack the blockade of foreigners! All the centaurs are guarding the coast to prevent foreign voices from attacking the west! ”
"But!"
Mo Lei Ting said excitedly: "What if something happens to the little grandfather!" ”
The herald's expression stiffened visibly, and after a long while, he said, "Grandpa Guo said...... Mu Xianjun is his son and a man from Dongjiang. Since they are on the battlefield, the people of the Mu family are the same as the soldiers, and they are not eligible to enjoy privileges. In order to save Mu Xianjun, he took the lives of more soldiers...... Grandpa Guo said...... He can't do it! ”
After saying this, the herald didn't seem to want to say anything more, and turned around and rode back to his life.
"Alas!"
Morey stomped his foot, looking so weak.
The second offensive of the foreigners soon came.
And the people on the land can only watch Penglai Island from afar, but they can't do anything. The foreigners came far faster than they thought, so that they were trapped before all the backup supplies were sent to Penglai Island.
Thurence had a chair moved to the bow of the boat, and he sat down, holding a glass of red wine and shaking it slightly. The afternoon sun on the sea was particularly strong, and it was hard for a young man to bear the sun, but for an old man like him, it seemed that the sun warmed him more than anything else.
That's where he gets annoyed.
When summer arrives, the young and sturdy men have changed into single clothes and even bare their upper bodies to relieve the heat. And he, even in this season, still has cotton wrapped around his knees. He used to laugh on the waves, and he used to be crazy on the battlefield, but as he got older, he could only succumb to the sea breeze and humid climate that he despised on the battlefield.
"Grand Duke"
Labis looked at the flames rising again on the island, and couldn't help but shake his head: "I don't think Razor will have any good way to take those Han people, in fact, Supel has done everything he can." Even I was a little surprised at how those backward Han people could not tremble under the power of artillery, but have high morale. ”
"This island is important."
Thurence said casually: "I don't think it's a loss to accompany Super's life in order to take this island. But this island is not unavoidable, and when the losses outweigh the benefits, abandonment will follow. Let Razor fight as hard as he can...... The order was given to move the fleet closer to the coast. ”
"Huh?"
Rabbis was taken aback: "Directly attack the coast? There may have been more Han Chinese troops gathered there. Moreover, when it comes to the shore, it is so open that the Han people's backward stone-throwing and ballista carts will exert greater power. ”
"No"
Thurence shook his head: "Didn't you notice Rabith...... The reinforcements of the Han people have hit the blockade again and again, what does this mean? Is it just that they are scrappy? If you think so, you're wrong...... In my opinion, the Han people want to support Penglai Island so desperately, in addition to their fighting spirit, I am afraid that there is one other factor, that is...... There was a man on the island that they had to save. ”
Rabbis was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Thurence meant.
Thurence looked at Penglai Island: "Let Razor fight, you bring people to respond, and no ships are allowed to come out of the island." I'll go to the coast and see for myself, and maybe I'll get some big catch. When I saw the owner of Mu Mansion appear on the coast, perhaps the answer came. ”
He stretched: "Fighting a war has never relied on more than just courage. Wisdom...... Wisdom is the most important thing. ”
……

Mu Ping
Yang Shun would smash the coffee table next to him with a snap: "You dare!" ”
The foreigner standing in front of him smiled slightly, and seemed not surprised at all by Yang Shunhui's anger, nor was he worried at all. As the envoy of the Emperor of the Opru Empire, this foreigner named Derg is full of confidence and pride.
"I'm not here to see you lose your temper, and I'm not here to discuss anything with you."
He looked at Yang Shunhui and smiled: "I'm just here to inform you that the empire's navy has begun to attack, if you feel that you are still qualified to fight for the Han people, I don't mind that the next time we meet is on the battlefield." But the general...... Do you think you're still qualified to fight for? The dignity of the military? The dignity of the Han Chinese? Oh...... Oh, my God...... These things slipped away by the time you took in the boxes of gold, didn't they? ”
"And there's nothing you can stop anymore."
Derge picked the corners of his mouth: "I came this time, in addition to informing you, there is one more thing to thank you." Because of your tolerance and hospitality, these days, our warriors of the Opru Empire have infiltrated in batches, as for where are they? If you can still keep the sanity of a general, you will not be surprised. ”
"Goodbye"
He waved his hand politely: "I hope you can appear at the welcome dinner where the great Lyman the Great will come to this land, and I also hope that you can kneel down on one knee and accept the gift of Lyman the Great." ”
Yang Shunhui's face was as white as paper, and at this moment...... He finally knew what he had done.
But is there room for regret?
