Chapter 13: No Support
Wang Lung knew clearly in his heart that last time, thanks to Lin Xu's timely return, the two squadrons led by him and Leopard were saved. If Lin Xuan had come back a little slower at that time, then the consequences would have been unimaginable. At that time, even a tough guy like Leopard Print had already prepared for the worst in his heart, and he could only pray that Lin Xu could avenge him.
And now that Lin Xuan was in a critical period of cultivation, neither Wang Long nor Leopard Print were willing to disturb him. Then they can only fight to the death with their own abilities.
The situation is urgent. Leopard went directly to Wang Lung to discuss countermeasures, and said: "Our two squadrons will definitely not be able to resist so many enemy men, and now we can only send someone to report to the battalion commander and ask him to send troops to support us immediately." ”
There are a total of thirty-two squadrons in the kamikaze battalion, and as long as Lei Xu, the battalion commander of the kamikaze battalion, can send troops to the rescue in time, then with the strength of Leopard and Wang Long, the two of them are still very sure to win this battle.
"Okay, do it, go and report to the battalion commander immediately. Wang Lung immediately agreed to Leopard's proposal.
"It is better to send a clever man, lest he anger the battalion commander's temper, and he will not send troops to support us. The leopard further reminded Wang Lung.
"I let the rice wine choose, he is most familiar with his brothers, which one is the most clever and tactful, he knows it all. Wang Lung only agreed with half of the leopard's statement this time, and then changed the conversation: "But I think that even if the battalion commander loses his temper, he should not die without help." We stayed at the bottom of the hill and played forward, and the credit is not small. ”
"It's hard to say, it's not like you don't know that the battalion commander's bastard thing can do everything. "Leopard is clearly extremely dissatisfied with his battalion commander.
"Then I hope he can take care of the overall situation this time. At the end of the day, we and he are in the same boat. Wang Lung knew that Leopard Print's words were reasonable, and he couldn't help but secretly feel a little worried in his heart. But he was worried that it was useless at all, so he sighed softly.
Without further ado, Leopard Print went directly to take his soldiers to lay out the formation and prepare to face the incoming enemy. Wang Lung followed the method that had been discussed with Leopard Print just now, and asked Huangjiu to choose a soldier with a flexible mind and the ability to adapt to the situation to report to Lei Xu for help.
Huangjiu weighed it carefully, and felt that it was only most appropriate to send a soldier named Song Xianyang. Because Song Xianyang is not only flexible and resourceful, but also has good martial arts, even if he encounters any trouble on the road, he can deal with it.
Otherwise, if Huangjiu sent a person with mediocre martial arts, he might not have seen Lei Xu and hung up halfway. That would really delay the big thing, and cause the two squadrons of the 31st and 32nd squadrons to be wiped out.
Huangjiu made up his mind, so he called Song Xianyang to him, explained and exhorted him with a serious face, and promised that after the task was completed, he would definitely let Wang Long's team reward him.
After Song Xianyang knew that he was going to ask Lei Xu for help this time, he knew that this was indeed a very important task. The stakes are clear to him. Because he also knew the total number of men and horses in the base, and the enemy had at least five or six squadrons of men and horses rushing here. If he can't get Lei Xu to send troops to support, then he will not only have the trust of Huangjiu, but he may even disappear from his squadron, so there is no way out.
Huangjiu specially went to find an iron-armored horse for Song Xianyang and asked him to ride a horse to the base camp of the kamikaze camp to find Lei Xu. Song Xianyang said goodbye to rice wine, rode on the ironclad horse and set off immediately.
The base camp of the kamikaze camp is on one of the highest peaks here, and there are two more mountains to climb. If it weren't for the help of the ironclad horse, if you ran on your legs alone, you would definitely be tired and half dead.
It has to be said that the ironclad horses captured from the enemy are much better than the ordinary horses in the kamikaze camp, and even when walking on these winding mountain roads, the ironclad horses can run like flying, just like on flat ground. This made Song Xianyang very happy, he should be able to reach the kamikaze camp soon, and let Lei Xu send troops to support Wang Long and Leopard Print.
Song Xianyang rode his horse all the way, and finally came to the kamikaze camp after two hours. Lei Xu and the two deputy battalion commanders were drinking for fun, and they didn't know what the enemy was about to commit under the mountain. Song Xianyang saw that they were still having fun, and he knew how hateful they were.
Song Xianyang couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart. He estimated the mission to be too simplistic. He originally thought that as long as he came to report to Lei Xu, Lei Xu would immediately send troops to support.
However, Lei Xu felt that Song Xianyang's so-called report this time was to make trouble for him and disturb his good interest in drinking, so he couldn't help but be angry and immediately started a fire.
Just like the leopard print did before. Once Lei Xu's temper kicks in, even the quick-witted Song Xianyang can't cope with it. Besides, Song Xianyang is only a small soldier at most now, with no official or position, and Lei Xu doesn't take him seriously.
With a loud "bang", Lei Xu suddenly slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, not only startling everyone present. Among them, not only Song Xianyang, but even the two deputy battalion commanders who were still drinking with Lei Xu were stunned.
As the people around Lei Xu, he naturally knows how terrible this battalion commander is to lose his temper, and if he doesn't get it, he will kill people immediately. Lei Xu is sword body cultivator, and his cultivation level is the highest in the entire kamikaze camp, and he can't stop it at all, so he has nothing to fear.
"Bastard, aren't Wang Lung and Leopard Print guarding the base at the foot of the mountain? A few teams of enemies are coming, just kill them directly, can you use them to annoy me?" Lei Xu was furious and asked Song Xianyang loudly.
"Battalion leader, there are indeed too many enemy centaurs this time, there are about five or six squadrons, and Captain Wang Long and Captain Leopard Print can't beat them together. That's why they sent me to tell you to send troops to the rescue. Song Xianyang hurriedly explained the specific situation to Lei Xu in detail.
However, Lei Xu didn't have the heart to listen to Song Xianyang's explanation now, which made Song Xianyang difficult to speak, even if he was able to speak well, it would be useless at all.
I only heard Lei Xu send Song Xianyang very impatiently, and shouted loudly: "You go back and tell Wang Long and Leopard Print, no matter what the situation, you must give me a top and destroy the enemy." Stand down. ”
"Battalion commander, if you don't send troops, the two captains Wang Long and Leopard Print can't beat the enemy's five or six squadrons at all. "Song Xianyang also wants to make a final effort. You have to help Wang Lung and Leopard Print try their best to fight for it. He also did this with the Tao, which was dangerous for himself. Maybe Lei Xu was impatient and would kill him when he lifted his sword. But he has already received such an important task, and no matter what the danger, he will fight to the death.
Lei Xu had already picked up his wine glass again to drink, and he was deaf to Song Xianyang's words at all. The two deputy battalion commanders beside him seemed to have understood Lei Xu's insidiousness, that is, he deliberately wanted Wang Lung and Leopard Print to die first, and then he sent troops.
The two deputy battalion commanders got up and walked in front of Song Xianyang, one by one, set up Song Xianyang's whole person, walked outside the barracks, fell down heavily, and warned viciously: "The battalion commander told you to go, he is giving you a way to live, if you don't go, then you will never be able to go." ”
Song Xianyang felt that he had not completed this mission, and it was not a pity to die, but he thought that he still had to go back to report to Wang Lung and Huangjiu, so that they could be mentally prepared and make other plans. Otherwise, he was killed by Lei Xu on the mountain for no apparent reason, and Wang Lung and Huangjiu were still waiting for reinforcements at the bottom of the mountain, not knowing how to retreat. Then they really don't have the slightest chance of survival.
Song Xianyang is a flexible person, and after some consideration, he knows what he should do next. He mounted his ironclad horse and immediately set out on his way home. He had no hope for the outcome of this mission, and it was definitely a failure. But he still had to inform Wang Lung and Leopard Wen of the news that Lei Xu refused to send troops to rescue, so that they could make plans as soon as possible.
After Song Xianyang returned to the base, Huangjiu saw his depressed expression and knew that the result was not good. He couldn't help but sink in his heart, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't the battalion commander send troops back with you?"
In Huangjiu's opinion, if Lei Xu sent troops to the rescue, then Song Xianyang would definitely not come back alone. So as soon as he analyzed it in his heart, coupled with Song Xianyang's expression, he didn't need Song Xianyang to speak first, he already knew what was going on.
"That's right, the deputy captain of Huangjiu, the battalion commander and the two deputy battalion commanders are drinking, let us take it ourselves. Song Xianyang replied to Huangjiu in a low voice in frustration.
"It's really unreasonable, Lei Xu is trying to force me to rebel. Huang Jiu was very angry, waved the long sword in his hand, and slashed hard towards the ground, actually cutting a long crack on the ground.
"Deputy Captain Huang, I didn't complete the task, and I'm willing to accept the punishment. Song Xianyang really felt extremely ashamed in his heart, he almost didn't even raise his head, and he didn't dare to look at Huangjiu again.
"It's not your fault, you can only blame Lei Xu for being too different. Rice wine comforted Song Xianyang. He can distinguish right from wrong, understands the truth, and even if he is very irritable in his heart, he will never be angry with his subordinate brothers.
Now that there is an enemy attacking, it is the time to employ people, Huangjiu feels that instead of punishing Song Xianyang, it is better to let Song Xianyang kill the enemy angrily. This is the right thing to do.
Song Xianyang can also understand the mind of rice wine. He no longer mentions punishment, but only thinks about turning this shame into motivation, and when fighting the enemy, he will definitely fight more vigorously and bravely, and will never flinch. No matter how many men and horses the enemy has, he will die in battle.
If everyone has the courage and courage to do so, they will not necessarily lose. After all, there are many examples of winning more with less, and maybe their two squadrons, 31 and 32, can also create miracles.
