Chapter 119: The Advance (2)

"You're from the Great Xia Coalition Army?"

Lin Lang was very surprised.

In his cognition, the Great Xia Combined Army, as a bait placed in front of the Eighth and Ninth Legions of the Demon Race by the border guards, was directly impacted by the main force of the Demon Race on the plain battlefield, and even the Supreme Commander was killed, and the entire Legion was even more collapsed, and the entire army was basically wiped out.

Unexpectedly, there are still people who survive.

After the man finished sorting out his clothes, he stood up and gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Report to the sir!" We belong to the Great Xia Combined Army, the first brigade of the second team of the third division, and I am the squadron leader Ding Hui! ”

"Hello Ding Hui! I am the chief of staff under Lord Zhang Yu, Lin Lang. ”

Lin Lang also returned the salute to him.

Lin Lang looked around and asked, "Ding Hui, you said that you belong to a brigade of the second team of the Third Division, what about the rest of your brigade?" What about the captain? ”

Ding Hui's eyes immediately dimmed, and he said: "At that time, we were surrounded by the demon army, and there were mutated creatures in the Black Tide on all sides, and our second team was almost completely wiped out, only us were left, and our captain was also killed in battle, and the highest-ranking officer in the current team is me." ”

"Ahh

Lin Lang was taken aback.

A team, with a strength of 1,000 people, turned out to be only more than 30 people left, even the team leader and other officers were killed in battle, and the highest-ranking officer turned out to be only a squadron leader!

It is hard to imagine how tragic that battle was.

"Hats off to you, Squadron Leader Ding Hui."

Lin Lang saluted him, but quickly asked, "Are you planning to go to the Eastern Theater now?" It's dangerous there. ”

"Huh."

Ding Hui smiled miserably, a little self-deprecation appeared on his face, "My lord, do you know why we people survived?" ”

"Why?"

"Because we're all deserters!"

"Ahh Lin Lang was taken aback, in the army, deserter was an extremely dishonorable title. Especially when fighting, according to the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom, being a deserter is guilty of treason.

So why did Ding Hui become a deserter?

Ding Hui said: "That battle was so tragic, our team was almost at the forefront, not long after the battle began, our team leader was killed, and then the whole team was leaderless, everyone was scattered and defeated, not only us!" Because at that time, if you don't run away, you can only stand where you are and wait for death. ”

"We escaped at that time, and we didn't dare to go back, because all that awaited us was the butcher's knife of the military judge, and we would be killed as treason."

"We were confused, wandering around the battlefield and not knowing where to go. We can't go back to the army, and we can't go to the Eastern Wilderness, because it's all occupied by demons. ”

"Later, we discussed it and simply went directly to the Eastern Theater to support the expeditionary force! They are the soldiers who came out of our Eastern Wilderness, and they can help them a little bit, even if they give their lives there, it's worth it! ”

Lin Lang quietly listened to Ding Hui finish everything, and he asked, "Then how did you know our chief Zhang Yu?" ”

"Who doesn't know Zhang Yu!"

Ding Hui suddenly smiled, and puffed up his chest excitedly, "Who doesn't know Zhang Yu from our Eastern Wilderness?" That's a generation of heroes! ”

"In the National Gladiatorial Arena Finals, he defeated the Kyoto team, known as the first group in history, chasing four six-pins by himself, domineering! Enjoyable! ”

"By the way, my lord, your name is Lin Lang, right? If I'm not mistaken, on the day of the finals, you were also on Zhang Yu's team, right? ”

"Yes."

Lin Lang said with a smile that this is indeed one of the things he should be proud of.

"My lord! Are you going to the Eastern Theater to support the Expeditionary Force? Let's join your team! ”

Ding Hui said, "Please don't refuse us, although we are deserters, but that battle is different, we were put in front of us as bait, so the big guys are actually not willing to fight hard, my lord, please believe us, follow Chief Zhang Yu, we will not run away again!" ”

"Okay."

Lin Lang looked at this rugged and bold man and nodded, "I allow you to join our team, welcome to you, Squadron Leader Ding Hui." ”

"Salute!"

More than 30 soldiers who were also gladiators saluted Lin Lang.

"Let's go, now, I'll take you to meet your lord." Lin Lang said to Ding Hui.

Ding Hui was excited, and he was about to meet the legendary man, who was the idol of all gladiators, the spiritual representative of contemporary youth, and all gladiators were eager to follow him.

In the past, I had only heard of his name, but I had never seen what he looked like in real person.

Is he fat or thin?

Tall or short?

Whether it is the kind of bloody butcher who treats human life as a mustard, or a fearless warrior, or like a famous general, he often frowns and has a far-sighted strategic mind.

Ding Hui kept fantasizing in his heart.

The team gradually approached the main force, and from a distance, Ding Hui saw the team.

It was a brigade composed entirely of cavalry, which disappointed Ding Hui, there were not many of them, it seemed that there were only about four hundred people, and they were not riding some precious war horses under their crotches, but old horses that could not be older.

Ding Hui even suspected that under such frequent marches, horses would be exhausted to death in a few days.

"Lord Lin Lang, the Battle of Chishui River, I don't know what kind of achievements your troops have achieved under the leadership of Lord Zhang Yu?"

Ding Hui asked with a smile.

Lin Lang glanced at him, as wise as him, and almost instantly noticed the disdain in Ding Hui's words.

What! What kind of main force do you think it is? There are only more than 400 people in half a day, and the configuration looks so unbearable, those war horses are so thin that they can even count their ribs!

That guy definitely thinks so in his heart, at least, he should also have a contempt mentality.

Lin Lang knew very well.

"Your Excellency."

Lin Lang said coldly, "The fighting quality of an army is often disproportionate to his appearance, if Your Excellency wants the whole army to be equipped with rare alloy equipment, wear orderly uniforms, and ride high-quality war horses, maybe the honor guard will be more suitable for you!" ”

Lin Lang's eyes and words were like the ice of winter, piercing Ding Hui's heart almost instantly, this officer felt that there was almost nothing to hide in front of his Lin Lang, and the little Jiujiu in his heart was also seen through in an instant.

"No, no, my lord, that's not what I meant......"

He blushed and explained, "I just want to know about your army's valuable achievements, and I don't mean anything else. ”

"It's no wonder there's none!" Lin Lang sneered in his heart, what do you say to learn about the valuable achievements, but in fact, it is just to see what kind of goods your team is.

After experiencing the battle of Chishui River, and preserving a team of such a size, I am afraid that the record achieved by this team will not be very good, and maybe it will be a deserter all the way.

If that's the case, when he is in front of the supreme commander later, he can sit on the ground and raise the price, maybe he can use this opportunity to mix with a captain.

"Well, since you're interested in learning about our division's records, I can give you an example."

Lin Lang faced forward and said like this, "On the battlefield of the Chishui River, under the command of the commander Zhang Yu, our department dug up the Chishui River, and at the lowest cost, caused the flood to flood 200,000 border guard soldiers and nearly 500,000 main forces of the demon clan!" The demon army was defeated because of this, and there was no longer the strength to advance westward. ”

"I don't know, does such a record count?"

After speaking, he looked at Ding Hui.

Ding Hui was completely stunned, and he hurriedly asked, "You put the flood a few days ago?" ”

"Exactly."

Lin Lang said expressionlessly, "Although we have defeated the main force of the demon clan with the flood, we have also lost 200,000 border guard troops, and in addition, several provinces downstream will inevitably suffer from this. Your Excellency Ding Hui, I don't know what advice you have for such a record. ”

"Any advice?"

Ding Hui's expression instantly became resolute, "Lord Zhang Yu, he is really a big hero?" ”

"Oh?" Lin Lang asked curiously: "After drowning so many of your own people, can you still be considered a big hero?" ”

"Of course! Killed nearly half a million demon creatures, not a hero, what is it? ”

Lin Lang reminded: "But we also killed a lot of our own people, and caused floods downstream. ”

"It's inevitable!"

Ding Hui said righteously, "How can there be immortals in war? It's all up to you to see if it's worth dying! ”

"Although the flood killed a lot of his own people and caused flooding downstream, but think about it carefully, if Lord Zhang Yu doesn't release the water, will the downstream provinces be able to take it back?"

"Those provinces have long been occupied by the demons, in fact, many of the people there have fled, some can't escape, and they live in dire straits all day long, Lord Zhang Yu flooded them and defeated the power of the demons, not only will they not hold a grudge against Lord Zhang Yu, but they will even be grateful to him and worship him!"

"Besides, if it weren't for this flood, I estimate that the border guards would not be able to stop the three main legions of the demon clan, and when the demon army defeats the border guards, they will continue to march west to occupy more land - I think Lord Zhang Yu did the right thing!"

"Well, Your Excellency Ding Hui, it seems that your position is still very clear."

Lin Lang gave him an approving look and reminded, "I hope that when you meet adults in the future, you will also be able to maintain your own position, but your temper is very violent." ”

"Ahh Are you going to meet Master Zhang Yu soon? ”

Ding Hui instantly became excited.

Lin Lang nodded silently and motioned for Ding Hui to follow.

At the end of the line, a line of officers rode on standing horses and followed last.

When Ding Hui followed Lin Lang, the leader had a cigarette in his mouth and scolded: "Lin Lang, why did you go for so long and come back?" Seeing a beautiful woman can't walk? ”

"Hahaha......"

Several of the officers around him burst into laughter.

Lin Lang said as if he hadn't heard it: "Big brother, I met a team from the former Great Xia United Army, and the leader is Squadron Leader Ding Hui. ”

"Ding Hui, come and see your lord!"
