Chapter 0544 - to the End!

When they saw the huge white sails on the sea, the spirits of Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie collapsed.

Since they became a member of the southern guerrillas of the 'revolutionary army', the two have not lived a good life. Originally, one was a handsome man in the capital, and the other was a heroic man in the Ming Dynasty, but now they are all mixed like beggars. The brocade clothes and jade food are long gone, leaving only a stomach full of sour water and endless pursuers.

The revolutionary foundation in Jiangnan was not good, and the common people were bankrupt and bankrupt because of the impact of commodities from the north, and not everyone liked the 'revolutionary army'. Since the personal dependence relationship was not broken, the gentry had great influence in Jiangnan and carried out demonized propaganda against the 'revolutionary army' in the north. As a result, the guerrillas in the south rose up and disappeared suddenly, and it was difficult for them to expand their power.

Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie have thousands of troops at most, and they look quite powerful. But when the small imperial court in Hangzhou transferred troops to fight, the two of them had no backbone to gather troops, and their subordinates lacked training and had no tenacity, so they basically dispersed as soon as they fought.

This situation forced Luo Lie to study the 'Sixteen-Character Secret of Guerrilla Warfare' with all his heart, and to put it bluntly, he was running. This is running everywhere, running everywhere, taking advantage of the cheap, slipping away if there is no cheap, and the supply of materials depends on the small steamers that come from the north regularly.

Such a 'guerrilla' even made Luo Lie and the others stay up for several months, stirring up a generation of rumors along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River. Now the puppet Ming court has offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver for their heads, and has issued a general rank to appease the two of them. is so coercive and tempting, and the two of them are asked to surrender.

Every time he sees his head becoming more and more valuable, Ouyang Jun always cries and laughs - my father said that I will become richer and richer in my life. That's right, he was right.

"Do you still have time to see your wanted notice?" Luo Lie angrily snatched a wanted warrant from Ouyang Jun's hand, pointed to several big ships on the sea and said, "Think about it, what can I do?" ”

On the surface of the sea, a small steamer with black smoke was fleeing, chasing behind it six or seven huge sail ships. The small steamer was unarmed, relying on its own advantages of not borrowing the power of the wind, and being mobile and flexible, it was fleeing for its life on the sea like a 'fish swimming at the bottom of a kettle'. But the sail ship chasing behind it spread out and surrounded it, like a big net surrounding this small steamer on three sides, and chased after it closely.

Recently, Luo Lie's guerrillas could not get along in Hangzhou, and had to move to the area of Songjiang Prefecture to recover and receive supplies. But as soon as the small steamer that came to deliver supplies appeared today, it was suddenly targeted by several sail giants.

The small steamer was built by the 'revolutionary army' specifically for the transportation of materials to the south, and it had a displacement of only about 100 tons, and its power was very weak, and it could only run at a speed of six knots when it was riveting. In order to catch up with the schedule, save costs, and seek quantity, this kind of offshore transport ship is somewhat shoddy. But it usually has no opponents in the Jiangnan area, and the pseudo-Ming sailors are weaker than it, and they are simply rampant.

It's just that I met a powerful one today.

This Songjiang Mansion had never seen hundreds or even thousands of tons of sail giants in the past, but today not only saw it, but also several of them came out at once. The two sides suddenly encountered, and it turned out to be this unarmed small steamer fleeing for his life.

Faced with such a situation, Luo Lie, who was waiting for the boat on the beach, jumped to his feet in a hurry. There were only a few hundred men left under his command, and he relied on this small steamer for food and drink. If something happens to this ship, his team will immediately have to drink the northwest wind.

The wanted notice in Ouyang Jun's hand was taken away, so he could only look up at the sea and sighed: "Don't worry, our ship can escape." It just has to turn against the wind. If the wind is against the wind, the sails will not be able to run fast. ”

"I'm not worried about that ship, I'm worried about Lao Tzu's supplies. If there are no supplies, we will be without food in three days. "A life of misery is ripe and quick-lived. Luo Lie jumped to his feet in a hurry, and finally lowered his voice and said, "Why do you say we are wading into this muddy water?" It's really not going to work, let's throw the team away and run for our lives, right? ”

The two have discussed similar issues privately many times in the past few months.

After the capital was taken, the 'revolutionary army' was widely regarded as a new dynasty that had established itself as a new dynasty, and a large number of speculators tried to infiltrate it. Countless 'revolutionary army' forces have emerged in the southern part of the Yangtze River in the past few months, but these forces have emerged and disappeared quickly.

Some were annexed; Some failed to attack the gentry's walled cities and were scattered in the purge; Some of them have developed with great difficulty, and they have been recruited by the pseudo-Ming again; Others were not recognized by the 'revolutionary army' for committing crimes, and were even criticized by name in the newspapers, and finally were annihilated by the 'revolutionary army'. Luo Lie's team has been able to retain its life until now, which is considered an old qualification.

But even so, Luo Lie and Ouyang Jun were shaken countless times. Because the days of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines were too hard. There was no base, no food or drink, and they were chased around by the Ming army, and they scattered in a hurry at the slightest setback; Even if some people are recruited, most of them come to eat and mingle, and when there is a fight, they will not be seen. He had had enough of all his life in this guerrilla war.

Ouyang Jun could only smile bitterly when Luo Lie's old words were brought up, "It's okay to leave the team and run for your life, the question is where to go?" ”

Yes, those who have a way out have already retreated.

Luo Lie's team has persevered until now entirely because there is no way back. He killed the prefect of Hangzhou, and now he has fled to the west, and he can be destroyed overnight. Although the puppet Ming small court said that it wanted to recruit him, he also knew that even if he wanted to recruit him, he had to have strength. Otherwise, if you get on someone else's chopping board, you can't help yourself.

Alas, ......Luo Lie sighed and looked at the sea again. I found that the little steamer was no longer running in all directions, but was rushing straight towards the beach where we had agreed to meet. Not only was he surprised at this time, but Ouyang Jun was also puzzled. About two quarters of an hour later, the small steamer did not dock at the makeshift trestle, but went straight ashore.

In the distance, several sail giants were still in hot pursuit, not relaxing in the slightest.

Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie hurriedly came out of the hidden coastal woodland, only to see the boat put down the pedals, jumped off the platoon commander of the revolutionary army, and shouted at them: "Come on, come quickly, move your supplies away." ”

This situation was unexpected, Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie both felt that the situation was urgent, and their foreheads were bruised. They didn't think much of it, and hurriedly beckoned their subordinates hiding on the coast to come out and carry supplies. Most of them consisted of boxes of food and medicine, as well as some weapons and ammunition. As long as these things are obtained, the guerrillas will be able to hold out.

The platoon commander who went ashore was still the one he had seen before, and when he saw Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie, he laughed and said, "You two can really hold on, you haven't collapsed after so long." I've been busy these months, and I've sent you the most supplies. Amazing, amazing! ”

What a ghost!

Ouyang Jun looked at his tattered clothes, lost a circle of waist, and greeted him with a smile: "It's all for revolutionary work, it's nothing wrong." ”

The platoon commander replied fiercely: "Today is also unlucky, I don't know where there are so many big ships of ghosts, and when they see us, they come up." I originally wanted to retreat, but I thought it would not be easy for you to engage in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

It's okay for me to withdraw, but I'm afraid that the team you managed to pull up is going to be finished. Now there are not many guerrillas in the south who can persist in the war of resistance, and I can't leave you alone. So I just gritted my teeth and rushed to the beach, saying that I had to bring supplies in. Big deal, I'll fight guerrilla with you. ”

The platoon leader laughed after speaking, but he was very optimistic. Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie were stunned, it would be false to say that they were not grateful, after all, they were quite miserable now. If they don't get supplies, the team will have to run out of food in a few days, and it's not a joke to disperse.

"Thank you, thank you!" Luo Lie just said that he was going to leave the team and run away, but he couldn't stop shaking the platoon commander's hand. "Brother, you really saved us. Without you, we wouldn't have survived. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and move things. This ship has enough supplies for you for a while. The platoon commander said and took out a newspaper from his arms and handed it to Ouyang Jun, "I have reported your existence to you, and the people know about it." There are articles for you to promote. ”

The platoon commander was busy unloading, and Luo Lie was busy leading his subordinates to quickly transport the supplies away. Ouyang Jun glanced at the newspaper and saw an article on the front page, which was really about the 'southern form of revolution'.

There is even a small article mentioning Ouyang Jun and the others, "My generation was useless with the country in the past, useless with the people, and committed many sins." Today, Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie are willing to reform themselves, devote themselves to the revolution, fight in the most difficult places, wash away their shame, and die without regrets. Woohoo...... I am not only ashamed of this pride, but also proud of it. The two of them were role models. ”

"Nine deaths without regrets? It's not you who died, is it? Don't be afraid to flash your tongue when you say big things, is Lao Tzu really happy? Ouyang Jun was so angry that his nostrils smoked when he read this touted article. When he looked at the authorship of the article again, he wondered who was cursing him to death, "This name is ......, my father?" ”

Ouyang Jun was stunned for a while, thinking about how his father, who had always been slippery, could write such an article, when suddenly a member of the team shouted and ran to report: "Captain, captain, it's not good." The Ming army's gang of dogs and legs came from the north, and they probably had more than 300 horses, just two miles away. ”

What the?

Ouyang Jun didn't care about reading the newspaper anymore, and hurriedly organized his subordinates to carry supplies and evacuate. These partisans have been untrained and unable to fight tough battles. Even if you have the advantage of manpower, you can't win when you encounter the Ming army, so you can only escape.

The sail giants on the sea are also approaching, and several giant ships are firing cannons. The sound of artillery made the guerrillas panic even more. The platoon commander of the 'revolutionary army' who was escorting the ship poked his head out of the boat and shouted: "It's too late to move, you guys quickly retreat." ”

Luo Lie jumped off the boat carrying a large suitcase, and when he turned around, he replied, "What about you?" ”

"You guys go first, we have to arrange this ship, and we will follow as soon as possible." After the platoon commander finished speaking, he retracted into the side of the ship and was busy with something again.

In the past few months, Luo Lie and Ouyang Jun have not learned other skills, but the ability to escape has gone from beginner to proficient. The two of them were not ambiguous, and they had to give up ruthlessly if they knew what they should give up, and quickly evacuated with their subordinates carrying the supplies they had arrived. Today these supplies are already a lot, and they are satisfied.

Hundreds of guerrillas swam up and down. Before the Ming soldiers arrived, they slipped away without a trace. Just waiting for Luo Lie to lead the people out of a mile, he heard the sound of a row of guns from the direction of the transport ship rushing to the beach, and after a while, there was an earth-shattering violent explosion.

The sound of this explosion made the hearts of the entire guerrillas tremble, and they turned around in horror. A little longer, a platoon escorting supplies caught up. The platoon each person carried a large box, and the deputy platoon commander said with tears: "The platoon commander said that you can't throw these good things to the enemy, let alone the boat."

He wanted to bring you more things, but he didn't end up surrounded by enemies, so he had to sacrifice his life to blow up the ship. He said......, I hope comrades take care, I can't fight guerrilla with you." ”

The guerrillas continued to withdraw, and no one seemed surprised by the news. In the past few months, they have seen a lot of life and death, and flight and sacrifice could have happened at any time. But today, ...... the incident, everyone was silent.

Ouyang Jun also looked at a wooden box and followed Luo Lie, and said in a low voice: "Don't mention anything about the dispersal in the future, I feel that the 'revolutionary army' will win in the end." Not only are we disgraced, but we are also sorry for this guy who sacrificed his life to send us supplies. ”

Alas...... Luo Lie first sighed, and then replied with a gloomy face: "Well, do it to the end!" ”
