Chapter 318: Death Squad

On the 500-meter-wide Black River, there is a long dragon with iron cables. A chain bridge is stretched across the river, and a total of 12 bucket-thick iron chains connect the two banks. Wooden planks were laid on top, and on each side were two huge iron oxen pulling the chains.

On the turbulent river stand four piers, which support twelve iron cables, so that they will not be broken by themselves because the span of the iron cables is too large. At the same time, it also makes pedestrians walk on it, and the bridge deck does not shake too much.

The chain bridge is not too wide, only five meters wide. At this time, the bridge was full of people, lined up in a long line to cross the Heijiang River through the chain bridge. After a day and a night, half of the people have successfully crossed the Heijiang River, especially the people who are close to the Heijiang River, and almost all of them have reached the other side. The banks of the Heijiang River were already crowded with people, and there were countless ships on the river, all of which were helping the army transport the people.

The second group of evacuating teams was still some distance away from Heijiang at the moment, but at this time, a terrifying news came.

I saw a scout running towards Li Ying with a pig's liver on his face, with a panicked look on his face, "The commander is not good!"

Li Ying knew that something must have happened as soon as he saw the scout's face, but as a commander, he had to keep calm at all times, if he messed up, what would the other soldiers do?

"Report to the commander, the army of blood corpses in the rear is chasing here, and there are still two kilometers to catch up with the army. ”

"What? How can this be?" Even if Li Ying was calm, he was no longer calm at this time.

"Tell the army to move forward at full speed!"

"Yes, Commander!" the news of the blood corpse army chasing after it inadvertently spread throughout the army. The warriors are scared, but at the same time, they are also inspired to reach their potential. As the saying goes, only when people face death can they fully stimulate all their potential, although they are exhausted early, but they think that the army of blood corpses is behind. One by one, they all lifted their spirits and moved forward at full speed.

In their state at this time, if the army of blood corpses catches up, they are finished. There were no walls to defend against, and the crossbows were not taken away. It is simply impossible for them to resist the army of blood corpses in their current state.

Zhang Xuan always felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't remember what the problem was, it was not a way to go on like this, and sooner or later he would be caught up by the army of blood corpses. The Blood Corpses could run faster than these ordinary soldiers. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but make a bold idea at this time.

Riding a war horse, he quickly rushed towards Li Ying, "Commander, it's not a way to go on like this, sooner or later you will be caught up by the army of blood corpses." ”

"I naturally know this, if it really doesn't work, that's the only way?" Li Ying actually didn't want to use this method, but now that he was desperate, he had to do this. He had been thinking about what to do since the Scout had reported to him.

"Oh, I don't know what the commander's plan is?"

Li Ying glanced at Zhang Xuan, "Organize death squads to lead the bloody corpses to other places." ”

Zhang Xuan didn't expect that Li Ying's thoughts coincided with his own, so he took the initiative to ask Ying, "Commander, why don't you let me take ten dead soldiers to lead those bloody corpses elsewhere." ”

"No! it's too dangerous. "Li Ying is still selfish, Zhang Xuan is Zhang Ting's only son, how can he watch Zhang Xuan go into danger? If Zhang Xuan has any strengths and weaknesses, how can he face Zhang Ting after a hundred years.

"But if it continues like this, those blood corpse armies will catch up sooner or later, and they will still have to face them when the time comes. And by that time there will be more warriors to die. Zhang Xuan still did not give up.

"I know this, so I'll go myself!" Li Ying sighed. How could he not have known this?

"Commander, as the commander of an army, you can't leave the army, so the army will be in chaos. ”

Li Ying also understood this, and after being entangled for a while, "Since this is the case, organize a death squad to lure away those bloody corpses." I'm not going, but neither can you. ”

"The army has obeyed orders, and now it is time for life and death. If this continues, the army is likely to be wiped out, and as a soldier, you must take serving the country and protecting the people as your own responsibility, and always be ready to sacrifice for the country and the people. Now there is only one way to save the entire army and save the evacuated people. It is to lead the army of bloody corpses elsewhere. I decided to organize a death squad to complete this task, I don't force everyone, who is not afraid of death, who is willing to complete this task, please stand up, I will not hide it from you, you may never come back. But don't worry, the country will always remember you, the people will always remember you, you will go down in history, and I will give your family a generous pension. Now if anyone wants to come forward, please stand up. Li Ying's impassioned magma suddenly made the blood of countless soldiers boil. He could have ordered a team to complete the mission, but he didn't want to.

It's just that as Li Ying said, they all know that this is likely to never come, and no one is not afraid of death. One by one, you look at me, I look at you, and no one stands up. But Li Ying didn't rush them either.

Finally, a person gritted his teeth and stood up: "Commander, I am willing to complete this task!"

"Okay, good, good, you're a pure man, what's your name?" Li Ying said three times in a row. A pure man is an affirmation of him.

Qiu Yi was just an ordinary soldier, and he was very excited when he was praised by the commander like this. He is going to die very lightly at the moment, what is so terrible about death. People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, and die for the country and the people, so it is not in vain for him to come to this world to walk. This kind of life is the most valuable, "Report to the commander, my name is Qiu Yi!"

And those soldiers were the first to stand up when they saw Qiu Yi, and some others stood up one after another. Inevitably, there are some truly patriotic elements among the soldiers, who are willing to sacrifice for the good of the country.

"Count me in!"

"Count me in"

......

One soldier after another stood up, and now there were enough hundreds, but there were still people who kept coming forward. But Li Ying doesn't need so many people. These are the priceless treasures of the country, and he does not want them to be lost. He knew that one more person would die.

"Good, good, you are all good, we are our pride, but I don't need so many people, I only need twenty fighters. With that, Li Ying selected twenty soldiers from these soldiers.

"You!you!you...... Out of the ranks!" Qiu Yi was among them. Li Ying ordered twenty soldiers in one breath: "Bring wine!

Li Ying personally poured wine for the twenty dead soldiers, and then poured a bowl of "I, Li Ying, do it first as a respect!" Drop the bowl on the floor.

And the twenty soldiers were also very arrogant, drank the wine in one gulp and threw the bowl on the ground.

"Prepare the horses!" twenty horses and two horses were divided among the twenty dead men. Twenty dead men galloped behind on their horses.

"Salute!" Li Ying's eyes were blood-red, and the army looked at the same place where the twenty soldiers were running. Salute them one by one, they deserve their respect, although their strength is not very high in the army, and some are even at the bottom, they died for them.

And Zhang Xuan also deeply admired these dead soldiers, and he thought that he would not be able to do it if he was allowed to die in vain.
