Jiubao, the eunuch of the prison army, grabbed the knife on his body and screamed, and saw the soldiers around him cut off the head of a bandit in front of him.

Jiubao is the first time to supervise the army, I didn't expect to encounter such nonsense on the road - the Shu road is really difficult to walk, the Sichuan army fought all the way on the road to fight mountain bandits, not only in Shuzhong can encounter bandits, even to Huguang, and then to Jiangxi, or the road is full of bandits.

Now it's in Jiangxi, and it's just the last thing to tremble when it comes to Nanjing, but who knows that it's going to be a mountain bandit again.

As for why they think that all the people in this encounter are bandits, not chaotic troops, it is because these people are using cold weapons, and they don't even see the shadow of firearms and cannons.

But Rao was like this, and he still beat the Sichuan army to the left and right - before it reached the front line, the fight started, and it consumed grain, grass and gunpowder and lead bullets, which made the Sichuan army very annoying.

Lin He commanded the infantry under his command, and let the Shenji battalion cover the heavy cavalry to rush towards the bandits for a while, and the surrounding area was fighting. He himself claims to have the demeanor of a Confucian general on weekdays, and he doesn't go into battle by himself, but mostly stands on top of the chariot and commands his subordinates. Now he was standing still, constantly giving orders to the heralds and directing the charge.

Caught off guard, the mountain bandit shot an arrow at Lin who was busy commanding, and was heading towards the door. Jiubao screamed on the sidelines, the cry was as terrible as a chicken being trampled on the neck. Although Lin He didn't go into battle to kill the enemy in person, his martial arts were not sparse, and he still had the ability to protect himself on the battlefield. He pulled the shields of the people around him, and the arrow made a "clang" sound on the shield and fell to the ground. Turning his head to Jiubao, who was screaming, he said, "I'm shocked." ”

Jiubao was stunned and reluctantly nodded at Lin He.

Lin He put the shield in his hand, watched his soldiers charge, and said to Jiubao: "I originally thought that I would be able to arrive in ten days, but it has been twenty days, and we are still stopped by this group of mountain bandits on the edge of Nanjing City." The snow has just stopped, and I think it will snow again this day, and when it snows, firearms will not be needed again. Hurry up and take advantage of this opportunity to enter Nanjing City in one go. ”

If you consume it on the road, you won't even have enough food and grass, and when you enter Nanjing City, you can still have a place to replenish it.

The Sichuan army took advantage of the snow to stop and beat the bandits fiercely, and lead bullets flew everywhere, and there were sparks everywhere.

The bandits love to fight guerrillas, and when they can't beat them, they quickly pack up and run. They came fast, they ran fast, and although they lost their armor when they ran, they really ran fast. Those who charged were all hoplites, where could they keep up with them.

Lin He saw that the bandits had run away, and hurriedly ordered: "Don't chase!" Don't delay your work here, it's important to hurry up to Nanjing City. ”

The Sichuan army listened to the order, reorganized the team, and planned to camp directly in the same place, rest for a while and then hurry.

Jiubao held the knife given by Dongchang, trembling like a quail frozen by heavy snow, and even his eyes were trembling. His eyes turned, he looked at Lin He, who was wiping his sword, and complimented him without the next sentence: "Lord General is very skilled." ”

Lin He actually didn't go into battle to kill the enemy at all, he was mostly commanding the soldiers, but after all, he saved his own life, so it was still necessary to compliment him.

Lin He still knew how many catties and taels he had, and smiled at Jiubao: "The governor praised it." In the past few days of marching, there have been many bandits in the way, which has frightened the Governor a lot, and this is indeed mine. The soldiers on the road were eating and sleeping in the open, and the governor also worked hard, so when he rested today, he asked the Huotou army to cut some jerky and cook a few bowls of meat porridge for the governor to drink. ”

He handed over the sword and shield in his hand to his subordinates, and sighed: "There is really nothing good to eat along the way, and I have wronged the governor." When the time comes to enter the city of Nanjing, on the day of victory, I will be the east, and I will ask the governor to swim back to the Qinhuai River, and the spring in the south of the Yangtze River will be good. ”

Lin He's compliments were just right, and it was very comfortable to listen to, and Jiubao's expression had obviously eased.

He arched his hand at Lin He, grinned reluctantly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Lin." I also wish Lord Lin a victory and return to Sichuan. ”

Someone brought chairs for Lin He and Jiubao to sit on, and Lin He invited Jiubao to sit first: "Borrow the auspicious words of the Governor." ”

The two of them sat down to drink water, Lin He drank the water, plugged the plug of the water bladder, put it up, and sighed: "It's almost the New Year." ”

Jiubao was too frightened, and if he sat down slowly, he would inevitably doze off. was in a daze, and suddenly heard Lin He say New Year's Day, and subconsciously answered: "Well, yes, it's going to be the New Year." I'm still on the front line after the Chinese New Year, and I'm working hard. ”

Lin He sat in place, and said in his heart, in fact, it is good to spend the New Year outside.

Naturally, of course he wouldn't say this to Jiubao, he could only say it to himself.

The Sichuan army is only a hundred miles away from Nanjing City, and it is estimated that it will be there tomorrow.

The snow in Nanjing stopped for a day, and the rebellious army that planned to take down Nanjing City in one fell swoop attacked Nanjing City again. The insurance policies in the city were all Mu Chengye took the file once, and it was bombarded again.

This time, it didn't stop until the snow fell again.

Without guns and cannons, the rebels slammed the door with siege trucks, and the infantry were also released, and the ants attached themselves to the siege. The city did not rest, and the boiling oil and lime beckoned, and the two men released their arrows without their lives.

It was fought until night, and then the rebels retreated.

Mu Chengye was hit by one in the shoulder, and now he is grinning and asking the military doctor to cut out the arrow for him. Lian Jie didn't hold the knife again this time, he had a sword hanging from his waist, and the one with the sword spike was the "Wen Sword" that the scholar pressed on the desk.

I'm afraid that it was used by Mu Chengye for self-defense as soon as he opened the blade.

He is now washing gauze and handing things to the military doctor.

The students who came to help from Kuniko were all discouraged, and they had just helped the soldiers transport things, and their feet were covered with mud.

Someone has already disregarded the appearance of the Sphyll, and the sleeve wiped the sweat on his face, and it was black.

Mu Chengye probably wanted to scream, but Lian Jie stood aside to help, and he was embarrassed to call, so he could only rely on grinning to relieve the pain, and his face turned red.

After the bandaging was finally over, Mu Chengye let go of his fist, and sweat fell like rain on his face.

He rolled his eyes and looked at Mu Chengye, Lian Jie was still busy washing gauze, and his hands were covered with blood.

Mu Chengye suddenly sighed, he was the governor of Zhejiang, a member of the second grade, and fled north from Hangzhou to Nanjing without any relatives and attendants. It's not easy yet, but you can actually personally participate in the defense of the city and wash the gauze for the wounded.

Mu Chengye didn't know what to say for a while, he held back for a long time, and suddenly arched his hand at Lian Jie: "Lord Lian, you are clumsy in the past and offended adults." ”
