"Brother Lin, on the battlefield, I'm afraid you are not good at using short weapons, so you should use this." The high chief followed Lin Wanrong closely and handed him a shining steel knife.
Damn, you think I'm really going to charge into battle, I'm a fat person. Lin Wanrong chuckled: "Brother Gao, take the steel knife back quickly. I don't want to see such a murderous weapon."
Seeing that he was smiling and showing no fear at all, the high chief couldn't help but admire him: "Brother Lin can be so calm and collected in the face of a formidable enemy. I really admire him."
While the two were talking, the White Lotus Army overturned several boats again by Li Sheng's artillery fire. But there were many people in their boats, and dozens of small boats at the front had already reached the shore. Hundreds of White Lotus troops came together to kill him.
Hu Bugui had experienced hundreds of battles. He had already formed a formation and waited for the enemy. He saw the opportunity for the enemy to charge and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
The arrows from the Shenji Battalion were like flying locusts, shooting at the White Lotus Army who landed first. These days of hard training at the Shenji Battalion have finally yielded results. From time to time, targets from the White Lotus Army fell to the ground, and screams could not be heard without stopping.
After five rounds of arrow rain, the White Lotus Army that landed first suffered heavy casualties. The boats still in the lake are still rushing forward. This time they learned the lesson, and the remaining dozens of ships scattered and attacked from all directions, obviously to distract the officers and soldiers' firepower. The White Lotus Army's casualties have reached nearly 30%, but the number of remaining people is still more than the number of officers and soldiers. At the same time, their attacks have become more crazy and brave, and their movement speed has accelerated. It is difficult for Shenji Battalion's artillery to see results.
Lin Wanrong was guarded by the high chief and was some distance away from the lake. After careful observation for a while, he found a small boat in the middle. There were only four or five people on it, and it seemed to be commanded by the White Lotus Army.
"Brother Gao, my eyesight is bad. Please help me take a look. Are there any women on the boat?" Lin Wanrong asked Chief Gao.
The high chief also noticed the boat. He stared at it for a while, shook his head and said, "There seems to be no woman. Brother Lin, what do you want to do with a woman?"
Nonsense, what can you do with a woman, of course, be a wife. Knowing that Xian'er was not on the boat, Lin Wanrong took a long breath and said loudly to Li Sheng: "Aim at that boat. Fire the two guns together. You must hit him accurately and sink him!"
"Yes!" Li Sheng shouted, quickly turned the gun's muzzle, aimed at the small boat designated by General Lin, and blasted it with two blasts. It's a pity that the thief's boat moved very fast, and all the two cannons missed.
Damn, these guys are cunninger than Munzi. Lin Wanrong took out the musket from the cup. Aiming at the people on the boat from a distance. It's a pity that the distance is quite far, and the musket is temporarily useless. When the high chief saw him taking out the mysterious short weapon again, he said suspiciously, "Brother Lin, what kind of weapon is this?"
"An invincible hidden weapon!" Lin Wanrong chuckled. He loaded the ammunition, checked it carefully, and then put it back in his pocket.
The high chief was puzzled. Before he could speak, he heard Hu Bugui in front loudly say: "The enemy troops have come ashore, brothers, prepare -"
Lin Wanrong heard the words and hurriedly followed the words. After paying a heavy price of casualties, the White Lotus Army's boat finally docked. The sergeants came up like a flood. These sergeants had a white gauze scarf wrapped around their heads. They were quick in movement and had a strong look on their faces. It was obvious at a glance that they were no ordinary people.
Oh my God, who designed this hairstyle for the White Lotus Sect, pretending to be an Arab when there is nothing wrong? Lin Wanrong hurriedly walked up to Hu Bugui and said, "Brother Hu, what's the matter?"
Hu Bugui said solemnly on his face: "General Lin, the White Lotus Army is well-trained, and today's battle is not easy. But we, the men of the three armies, are not easy to deal with. We will definitely fight them to the end today and never back down."
Don't, don't fight to the end. If you can't win, just run away. This is the smart man. As for the magical cannon, it is bulky and ugly. If you lose it, just throw it away. The worst is to let Lao Xu move quickly. The White Lotus Army can still What?
While he was thinking wildly, he heard Du Xiuyuan shout: "Change the formation——"
After several rounds of arrow rain, the White Lotus Army desperately rushed in front of the officers and soldiers. The arrows from the Shenji Battalion were no longer effective, and the spear soldiers of the Infantry Battalion were the first barrier of defense.
Hu Bugui pointed his long sword and shouted loudly: "My sons, follow me and charge--" He rushed forward with a long sword in his hand, casually knocking down two bandits, his beards all over his face stood up, and he looked He looked like a black-faced Zhang Fei, imposing and imposing. Following him was the young man Xu Zhen. Although he was young, his hands were clear. His long sword flew and he chopped down several White Lotus soldiers in the blink of an eye. Following them were elite soldiers specially trained by Hu Bugui. They were based on Shandong soldiers and mixed with the best of Zhejiang soldiers. The two were divided into a group and cooperated with each other. They were the most powerful group among Lin Wanrong's third battalion. The crowd is full.
When the two armies came into contact, there was a loud clash of swords and guns. The shouts of the soldiers of the two armies hit the eardrums together, mixed with several shrill screams. A young Zhejiang soldier and a White Lotus bandit fell down at the same time. Blood gurgled down, staining the river bank red. The soldier's companion who fell was also a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. Seeing the brothers who were still joking together yesterday, he fell under the sword in the blink of an eye. There was still fear and unwillingness on his face. He seemed to be crazy. , eyes full of blood, he yelled, the door opened wide, and he rushed towards the opponent with the long knife in his hand, cutting down the bandit army, and he was chopped down by the opponent in the blink of an eye.
The cruel hand-to-hand combat finally began. No one knew what would happen between a miscellaneous government army and the elites of the White Lotus Sect. These child soldiers will go through the test of life and death. Those who fall will never get up again. Those who are alive will become phoenixes in Nirvana.
This was the first time for Lin Wanrong to experience such a real fight. Although he had led Hong Xing in fights before, the gang fights like gangsters could not compare to the real and heroic scene before him. Although he had already made up his mind to run away if he could not be defeated, he never lacked enthusiasm. Looking at the tragic and tragic scene in front of him, he felt assimilated, as if he had been assimilated until this moment. Only then did he truly integrate into the army he led. If he escaped today, he would not be worthy of being a human being at all.
Looking at the young faces, their slowly falling bodies, and the blood on their bodies, Lin Wanrong seemed to have a huge fire burning in his heart, and his blood was gushing. Suddenly I wanted to shout out loud.
He gritted his teeth tightly and suddenly said: "Brother Gao, what do you think of me?"
The high chief was stunned for a moment, wondering why he suddenly asked this question, but seeing that his eyes were red and his whole body was as warm as fire, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "Brother Lin, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen." special person."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Brother Gao, that's good. Today I want to tell you about my wives. I have a wife in the capital called Xiao Qingxuan, and a little wife in Jinling called Qiaoqiao, and . The second young lady of the Xiao family also had an affair with me. If I die heroically today, please tell them to remember me forever."
The high chief said loudly: "Brother Lin. Why are you talking about this? What are you going to do?"
"What are you doing?" Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Have you never seen a man kill someone?"
He tossed his coat and held the long knife in his hand. He was full of murderous aura and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill me. If anyone dares to take a step back, he will be raised by his grandson."
While everyone was stunned for a moment, they saw General Lin rushing forward like a wind and heading towards the White Lotus Sect to kill him. The high chief came to his senses first, shouted "Kill..." and followed Lin Wanrong closely.
Lin Wanrong and the high chief were at the forefront, and when they met two White Lotus soldiers, he waved his hand. The long knife brought a strong gust of wind and chopped off the necks of the two people alive. A stream of blood rose into the sky and fell on his shirt.
Seeing the bright red blood, Lin Wanrong trembled all over. He saw a young sergeant in front of him piercing the enemy's chest and back with a spear, but he was cut open in the intestines by the enemy's knife, and blood and intestines surged out. "Ah..." Lin Wanrong shouted and swung his sword sharply, cutting the attacking enemy in two.
When Hu Bugui and his officers saw General Lin's bravery, they were immediately inspired and their combat power doubled. Although they were just infant soldiers of the New Army, they fought hard with the enemy, and the casualties on both sides skyrocketed. . For a moment, blood covered the ground, dyeing the mountains and lakes red.
Lin Wanrong's men were all weak recruits. Although they had been trained, they were on the battlefield for the first time. After holding on for half an hour, more than half of them were lost. Looking at the young bodies falling one by one, looking at their unwilling eyes and painful faces, Lin Wanrong was trembling violently, and bursts of hot blood rushed to his forehead. He felt that he was about to explode. The burning animal blood , so that he could no longer think of anything, and there was only one thought in his stomach - kill!
"I'll let you rent the clan..." Lin Wanrong burst out with a shocking roar, his eyes were blood red, and he swung the long sword into an airtight wall of swords. In the blink of an eye, he killed several people with the sword. He had strong internal power, and the long sword He swung fiercely and went straight into the enemy's army. With such ferocity, no one could combine with him. The high chief was covered in the blood of the enemy and guarded him loyally. The two of them went straight into the enemy's formation like the gods of death who had descended from the world. , invincible. In this kind of bloody battle, the so-called martial arts skills have long lost their effect, and they all rely on endurance and fierceness.
The attacking White Lotus elite obviously did not expect that a motley army of old, weak, sick and disabled people could have such fighting power. When the two sides were in a stalemate, they suddenly heard a loud shout coming from the White Lotus Sect, and a tall and mighty man The figure rose into the air and said loudly: "I am Meng Du, the number one warrior of the White Lotus Sect. Who dares to fight with me?"
"Fight your mother." Lin Wanrong, who was already blinded by the killing, shouted. He took out the musket in his arms. He didn't need to aim at all. He just fired the shot based on his feeling. With a loud bang, the first warrior was seen. A huge blood flower appeared on his chest and fell from the air with a crash.
The soldiers on both sides could hardly believe their eyes. How come the first warrior, Gedu, was shot dead like this before the battle lasted a round.
"General Meng is dead." The White Lotus Army suddenly lost their leader and fell into a huge panic, with horror on everyone's face. Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, I hit him casually, this bird general is so damn useless.
When Hu Bugui saw General Lin kill the enemy's commander with one shot, he was ecstatic and shouted: "General Lin is brave and kills the enemy chief. The enemy will be defeated and our army will win. Charge!"
The sergeants looked at General Lin and saw that he had a pistol in his right hand and a knife in his left hand. His shirt was stained red with blood. He stood there like an unfailing god of war.
"Burn your animal blood and avenge your dead brothers." Lin Wanrong shouted in a hoarse voice, with a strong and invincible coldness in his voice. "
"Extreme hatred." The officers and soldiers in great excitement rushed towards the White Lotus Army like tigers descending from the mountain. The enemy chief was killed, the morale of the officers and soldiers was high, and the White Lotus Army had no fighting spirit. They were quickly defeated and became the victims of the soldiers of the third battalion.
"General Lin, our reinforcements have arrived." Du Xiuyuan, covered in blood, came over to report with a happy face.
"Come when you're here. Why don't you ask me to welcome you all the way?" Lin Wanrong threw the long knife to the ground, but there was no trace of joy in his eyes. After this fight, only less than 400 of the soldiers from the third battalion, 600 to 700 men, survived. Using old, weak and remnant troops to fight against the enemy's elite of more than a thousand men, and being attacked by surprise, not only did they completely annihilate the enemy and kill the enemy chief, but also only suffered casualties of more than 300 people. This can be said to be a brilliant victory.
But there was no trace of surprise on Lin Wanrong's face. What caught his eyes were the faces of the more than 300 brothers who died in battle. They were so young and had not tasted the taste of life before they were already sleeping underground.
There was a gentle sob and a burst of curses from the front. Lin Wanrong looked around and saw Xu Zhen covered in blood, lowering his head and wiping his tears. Hu Bugui was yelling at him: "What's there to cry about?" , Are you going to fight? No one will die. If you want to avenge your brothers, just kill more enemies next time."
Lin Wanrong walked over and said, "Xiao Xu, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhen said with tears in his eyes: "General Lin, one of my brothers from the general banner is all gone. Wow."
After all, Xu Zhen was a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy, a member of the 50th or 60th general banner. He died in battle like this. How could he not be sad?
"You are a soldier fighting for the country. How can you behave like a crying soldier?" Hu Bugui scolded.
"Crying, what are you crying for? Who said soldiers are not allowed to cry, I have to cry too, what's wrong?" Lin Wanrong shouted loudly, his eyes turning red.
When the soldiers saw General Lin's eyes filled with tears, they couldn't help but look sad. The brutality of today's battle turned them from newcomers to veterans overnight.
Lin Wanrong's nostrils were sore and he said loudly: "Du Xiuyuan, Du Xiuyuan."
"The general is here!" Du Xiuyuan said hurriedly.
"Collect the remains of the fallen brothers and keep them intact, not a single hair missing. Otherwise, they will be dealt with according to military law." Lin Wanrong shouted loudly. Du Xiuyuan hurriedly agreed and took the order and left.
Hu Bugui came over and said, "General Lin, the deputy general of the cavalry battalion who rescued us, Zhai Canghai, has led five thousand men and horses over."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance, and countless cavalrymen had already rushed in. The general walking in front had a fair face and a stubborn expression. He galloped his horse and said, "Are you asking for help?"
Looking at his face, he looked unhappy, as if I owed him hundreds of taels of silver. Lin Wanrong snorted and said nothing. Hu Bugui said: "Report to the general, our army has just fought fiercely with thousands of elite members of the White Lotus Army, and has wiped out all the bandits. We are now counting the results."
"Total annihilation? Just because you are a bunch of trash transporting food and grass?" Zhai Canghai and the general behind him laughed together.
