Chapter 152: Adversity (2)
"Still alive?"
"Yes!"
Stepping into the second front, Lei Min suddenly saw Wang Gu coming, looked at him worriedly, and raised the gun in his hand, but signaled that he still had the strength to fight again.
Wang Gu's heart warmed, and only then did he notice the glimmer of light on Lei Min's body, this vision of "shining in the void" was a symbol of breaking through to the True Yuan Realm.
He stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged, "Congratulations, you've finally succeeded." β
"That's right, but I couldn't get them out. β
Lei Min's fists were clenched, his eyes were already blurred, even if he was able to break through the realm of the True Yuan Realm, what if he couldn't change the whole situation?
"That's not your fault. You don't need to take it personally!"
Wang Gu comforted, but Lei Minwu was immersed in sad emotions, ignoring the changes in the outside world, and constantly blaming himself in his mouth.
"If I could have broken through earlier, if I had understood all this earlier, then all this would not have happened. β
"This kid, have you drilled the horns?"
Wang Gu looked a little worried, knowing that if he continued to immerse himself in this sadness, he was afraid that it would make Zhenyuan difficult to control, and he would hurt himself instead.
So he twisted Lei Min's entire head, and looked at each other's eyes with sharp eyes, tears accumulated in the eye sockets, soaking the entire eyeballs, but they never flowed out.
"What a fragile and strong boy. It would be a pity if you died for this. β
Through the dark pupils, Wang Gu felt as if he had seen everything in the other party's heart clearly, kind and full of justice, but when this justice encountered reality, it became fragmented, and the person in front of him fell into confusion.
"Thunder!"
"Colonel Wang, I-"
"I know, so you have to understand that they're dead. No matter how hard we try, they will not be able to resurrect. Do you understand?" Wang Gu's eyes were serious, and he looked at Lei Min without blinking, so that Lei Min couldn't refuse.
It's like a father!
Lei Min suddenly remembered his father who had died a long time ago, and he couldn't help but lower his head, but the reappearance of various scenes on the battlefield made him feel chills all over his body, and he suddenly raised his head and argued.
"But!"
"But what?"
didn't wait for Lei Min to speak, but Wang Gu directly reprimanded: "Because of everything, is it your fault?"
"No, I-"
Lei Min's body shook and wanted to refute, but after he said it, he felt empty in his mind, and he didn't know what to say.
"You, don't blame yourself for everything. This is not a good habit. β
Wang Gu's eyes softened, he is now in his forties, if his child is still alive, he should be the same age as Lei Min now.
Wang Gu thought like this, and when he saw that Lei Min was still confused, he complained again: "So, don't continue to dwell on these things." They died here, that was their fate, and no one could change it. Only by living can there be infinite possibilities, you know?"
"I know! It's just meβ"
Lei Min looked dazed, but he didn't know what he should do.
He looked down at his hand, and there was still a little blood stain on his fingertips, the blood stain was still warm, but it disappeared with the last bit of temperature of the wind.
"Don't you know what you're supposed to do?" Wang Gu said with a smile.
He has experienced many battles in his life, and he has also seen many soldiers who have died, and for these soldiers, the first time they participated in the battle is always memorable, some are excited, some are timid, some are disgusting, and some are ignorant......
And after the fight, those people will question themselves more.
Why did you come to the battlefield?
Lei Min's head nodded, and his lips and tongue moved slightly.
"That's right!"
Reviving China?
When he first joined the army, he was indeed excited about it, but when he saw the reinforcements arrive for a long time, his blood began to cool down.
Expelled Tatar?
Those Tartars were indeed hateful, but seeing his comrades lose their lives in this continuous battle made Lei Min a little scared!
How many lives did it take to expel the tartars?
He never understood this, and he was afraid to know.
"Live!"
"Live?"
Lei Min read it a few times, but his expression was still dazed.
Wang Gu closed his head and replied, "That's right. Since you don't understand, let's continue to don't understand. After all, there are many things that we simply don't understand. If you force yourself to understand, or even explore the cause, you are just torturing yourself. β
"But, that's all?" Lei Min asked.
He didn't want to be stuck in it, so he wanted to understand why he was here.
Wang Gu replied: "Of course, as for the meaning, you can think later, this is not a very important thing. After all, many people come over in such a daze, so why should they care about such a thing?" Seeing that Lei Min was still puzzled, Wang Gu continued to persuade: "Of course, the most important thing is to live. Because, only by living, can we explore the possibility of life. If it's dead, there's nothing!"
"I see!"
Lei Min smiled reluctantly, and fell silent again.
In the distance, a dull horn sounded again, waking everyone present.
Although the first wave of the Mongol offensive was repulsed, the next second wave or even the third and fourth waves of attacks would come at any time, which naturally required the full support of his soldiers.
"Colonel Wang. It's time for us to go. β
Taking down the gun he was carrying, Lei Min smiled at Wang Gu, then stood up again and walked outside.
Wang Gu nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. Seeing the other party's restored appearance, he felt very comforted in his heart, and said, "Remember." Gotta live, you know?"
"Of course!"
Lei Min's eyes focused on the soldiers coming again in the distance, and his hands clenched the guns in his hands.
In order to survive, he must not let the other party break into the military formation.
At this moment, there was only this thought left in his mind.
ββββββ
"What about Mongolia, hasn't it stopped until now?"
Although the enemy in the distance retreated, Wu Qingyun did not dare to take it lightly.
Under the command of Boyan, the strength of this army is quite strong, not only imitating the tactical style of the Red Phoenix Army quite well, but even combining the advantages of cavalry to make certain improvements.
This made them feel particularly tricky, and the hit rate dropped a lot.
Wang Gu replied: "That's right! It's been half a day since their first attack. And in this half a day, the other side has already organized four waves of attacks. β
The terrain of Ding'an City is precipitous, there are only a few places suitable for attacking, and due to the terrain, the number of soldiers that can be accommodated on the battlefield is not much, and the attack team that can be formed at one time is at most five or six hundred people.
Therefore, Boyan relied on the large number of soldiers under his command, organized the entire army into several combat teams, and attacked in turn in the form of wheel warfare, continuously consuming the strength of the Red Phoenix Army.
Until now, basically everyone in the Red Phoenix Army has been injured.
If it continues, everyone will be completely trapped here.
"According to the plan, the next time the other party should attack the city. Wu Qingyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he was a little uneasy: "If this is the case, then we should also give up the city in time and let them enter the city." β
"Retreat, where to retreat?" Wang Gu asked again.
Wu Qingyun replied: "Guan Gong Temple." It was located in the north of the city, and there was no other road to access it except a small road. So we just need to hold this mountain road, which will naturally be able to block the other side. After all, it is impossible to repel now, and we can only rely on the terrain until the reinforcements arrive!"
Although he tried to stabilize his emotions, he could not hide his inner turmoil.
After all, Mongolia is too powerful, so it can naturally see through its own strategy, and the reason why it keeps attacking the city may be because it has other thoughts, and if even the Guangong Temple is lost, then what should be done then?
Wu Qingshi was scared in his heart, worried about this happening!
"I see!"
Wang Gu bowed his head and replied, and then began to issue orders for all his troops to go to Guangong Temple, so as not to die in vain under the next Mongol attack.
Lei Min naturally led his men and walked on the road to Guan Gong Temple.
Although the Mongol attack was fierce before, he had already broken through the realm, and with the strong endurance brought by the True Yuan, he had survived smoothly so far.
And after everyone withdrew into the Guan Gong Temple, from the place where Mongolia was located in the distance, hundreds of lines of fire burst out and fell on the head of the city, which could not withstand such a fierce attack, just like the flour, which was directly shaken to pieces, turned into ashes, and floated in the air.
"Fortunately, we retreated, otherwise I'm afraid we would all be buried in it!"
Looking at this scene from afar, Lei Min's expression was gloomy.
After the previous battle, the shells in their hands had been exhausted, and they could no longer carry out ultra-long-range attacks against the other party, so Boyan would unscrupulously transport the artillery to the front line and launch such a fierce attack.
Sure enough, when all the artillery stopped firing, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the familiar sound of the horn sounded again on the quiet land.
This time, they entered the city without any hindrance.
When they found that there was no one in the city, although these people fell into a short dazed, but then they found the traces left by the Red Phoenix Army, so they ran towards the Guangong Temple along the footprints and rut prints.
Walking on the street, Lei Min looked at the soldiers around him, and couldn't help but feel sad, and thought to himself: "Could it be that we have finally entered a desperate situation?"
It's not that he hasn't experienced the fall of stability, but this second time is very different.
After all, the first time was too unexpected, and his own turret was directly found by the other party and bombed away, otherwise how could the other party break in?
But this time, they put in countless efforts and came up with countless methods, but they couldn't stop each other, and could only watch as the other party put the knife on their neck.
This kind of despair is really tormenting.
Leaving from Anding City, the group came to a mountain forest, where there are many ancient trees, one by one, they are obviously not young, and there are many mountain rocks erected on the ground, like a stone tablet, as if they are paying tribute to the soldiers who died in battle.
The Guangong Temple is built in a valley in the north of the city, with the mountains and rivers facing Anding City at its back, and only this road can enter the Guangong Temple.
Therefore, Wu Qingshi put all the important materials here, just to avoid these things falling into the hands of the enemy after Anding City was captured.
Walking here, Lei Ming felt a little relieved, and secretly thought: "When we all get here, the other party shouldn't chase after me." β
However, at this time, Lei Min heard the sound of horses' hooves from behind him, mixed with some footsteps and gunshots, he turned his head and turned to look, and saw several people in the city in the distance jumping out and rushing directly towards the place where he was.
"These guys are really haunted! Why did they find me so quickly?"
Cursing in a low voice, Lei Min turned around, walked out of the army, and then raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at the person in the distance to pull the trigger.
"Bang!"
Shots rang out, and the enemy fell.
But this shot was discovered by the other party, and the rest of the Mongols in Yukimura also took out their horse pistols, hid behind the mountain rocks and big trees, and shot towards the top of the mountain.
"All the men of the Third Company remained, and they resisted with me. The rest of the people immediately quickened their pace and left from here. β
Lei Min had already prepared, and as soon as he turned around, he hid behind a rock, and the bullet hit the stone with a "bang, bang, bang", but it was never able to hurt him.
It's just that the number of people is a bit large, but it is difficult to avoid this dense rain of bullets, and several people were immediately shot and fell to the ground and fell into the cliff.
Hearing the order, dozens of people under the management of Lei Min's men stopped one after another, turned around like him, hid behind the mountain rocks, and fired at the Mongols who were following from afar.
The rest of the people were also relieved to see that the Mongol offensive was choked, and they didn't dare to stay here, so they ran towards the Guangong Temple in the distance.
At this time, only by hiding in the Guan Gong Temple as soon as possible can it be considered safe.
After Lei Min saw everyone fleeing, he relaxed and concentrated on dealing with the enemy in front of him.
