Chapter 26 The Journey 1
Jueluo pulled out his sword from the body of a rebel soldier with effort, and staggered, almost falling to the ground. He hurriedly supported his sword on the ground without falling. Jueluo felt his heart beating rapidly, and his eyes turned black. He knew that this was a sign that his physical strength was about to be exhausted. He took a few deep breaths, recovered a little bit of strength, and then staggered towards the two defenders besieged by the rebel soldiers.
The two guards leaned against a wall, waving the bayonet rifles in their hands. With the advantage of the length of the weapons in their hands, they resisted the five rebel soldiers wielding sabers. Although the rebel soldiers had several times the number of advantage, they could not take them for a while. When Juelu was still five or six meters away, a Meng soldier saw his figure, turned around and raised his knife and was about to rush over. Juelu shot to the ground with a shot. The two behind him rushed up. Juelu raised his pistol and was about to shoot again, but he heard a crisp sound, but no bullets were shot out. It turned out that the bullets had been exhausted, and the two rebels were also stunned. Jueluo was quick to learn and threw the pistol at one of the people's heads. Taking advantage of the opponent's dodging, he slashed the opponent's neck with one knife, almost cutting the opponent's neck halfway. Moro was afraid that the man would be left.
He took the opportunity to attack, and after a knife, he tried to draw the knife, but he didn't expect that he would just cut down and use all his strength to feed his breasts. The blade had been embedded in the opponent's neck bone. He was already exhausted at this time. Not only did he use his arm to pull out the knife, but he was taken by the body of the man who was hit by the knife and fell to the ground. At this time, Jueluo felt completely disappointed and kept his eyes shut and waited for death. But after a while, he didn't feel the severe pain of being cut by the sabre. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the rebel soldier had run away. When he was shocked, he only heard footsteps beside him. When he turned around, he saw that the opponent in front of him was attracted by Jueluo's surprise attack, and he took the opportunity to stab his opponent. Finally, the rebel soldier didn't care about killing Jueluo and ran away first.
Jueluo struggled for a moment, his feet were weak and could not stand up, and he hurriedly said, "Helm me!" With the help of his subordinates, he stood up. Jueluo retrieved his pistol, put the bullets in his arms and limped to drive the rebels who were attacking out of the Duwei Mansion. It was already dinner time. He looked at the last dozens of scarred and exhausted soldiers around him, and knew in his heart that his fate had been decided. As long as the rebels attacked again, the Duwei Mansion would fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Stand up, you bastards, stand up and rush up!" On the rebels' positions, the Mongolian army officer waved the command knife in his hand, punching and kicking the defeated rebel leaders. However, no matter how he threatened and cursed, the defeated soldiers were still the same. He wanted to let the supervisors come up, but he saw the cold gazes of the defeated soldiers and hesitated again. After all, compared with the number of defeated soldiers, the supervisors were much smaller. If the forced force was too fierce, he would be the only one who would be unlucky at that time.
"Where is my team, where are the goshawks on the grassland?" he shouted hoarsely: "How do you tell me to Khan like this? How do you explain to Major Sharif? Take the fortress or let them put me on the pointed wooden stake!"
The defeated little leaders did not say a word or say nothing.
"What did you bastards say when you were full of horse wine just now? Everyone said that they would level the fortress today and catch the Han officials in front of the Khan's horse's hooves, but what about now? What about now?"
A small leader raised his head: "You are no match for the Han people. If the Mongolians ride horses, one can beat five. If the feet are on the ground, only one can beat one of the five!"
"Yes, only one of five can be beaten!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Damn it!" The Mongolian official grabbed his hair in despair: "What should I do? That Sharif already said that if I can't take down the fortress today and catch the Han official, I will go up the pointed wooden stake!"
"That's your business!" the little leader retorted: "Even if your whole family has a sharp wooden stake, it's your own business. Don't force us to go into battle, and don't let the people of Changshengtian die in vain! We should dig trenches, build earth walls, and set up cannons to trap the Han people to death. Otherwise, we will be in trouble!"
"Right, we're going to suffer a disaster!"
In this way, they were verbally quarreled, and their voices were as loud as thunder. The Mongolian official staggered and sat in the haystack. The little leaders all stood beside him, without saying a word. Finally, he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Ma** wine!"
At this moment, a sound of horse hooves came from afar, and everyone looked over there. A rider rushed over and tied the reins five or six meters away from them. The knight on the horse shouted loudly: "The Khan has orders. The army will go south tomorrow morning, and the target Eren!"
"What about here?"
"Go south and attack Eren!" The envoy repeated the order, turned his horse's head and galloped away, leaving only a wisp of riding dust.
"The Tartars retreated!"
Looking at the rebels retreating outside, the castle was filled with joy. Both Juelu and ordinary soldiers were ecstatic. The feeling of thinking that they would die but escape from the sky was beyond words.
"It must be reinforcements from within the pass!"
"No, the people in the pass are not that fast, it should be from Eren!"
The defenders talked excitedly. Jueluo, who had woken up from ecstasy, hurriedly urged the remaining soldiers to rescue the wounded and took turns to rest, but couldn't help thinking in his heart: "Is it true that reinforcements have arrived?"
But the actual situation is far from as optimistic as the defenders imagined. At this time, the army led by Gao Tingyu had already walked for seven days. It was true that the speed of the army was very fast, but there were at least ten days before they arrived in Kulun.
Chen Zaixing rode on a camel. Although it was already over April, the north wind blew on his face, like a knife cut. But what made him most uncomfortable was the strange bumpy feeling on the camel's back, which made him dizzy and felt a burst of boredom in his chest, as if he was about to vomit.
"Vomit, vomit!"
A sound of vomiting came from the side. When Chen Zaixing looked, it turned out to be Jilins. It seemed that this person was worse than him. He had already vomited a little on the camel's back. After seeing it, Chen Zaixing couldn't help but feel the eyes itchy in his throat, and his chest rolled in his mouth. He quickly turned his head.
"Stop, stop!" Chen Zaixing shouted loudly. The camel man didn't understand why, so he hurriedly drove the camel off the official road and stopped. Chen Zaixing turned off his hunchback, and then he felt that the heart that had been hanging in his throat had fallen to the ground, and shouted: "Get the water!"
Chen Zaixing had just taken two sips of water when he saw a strong knight coming down the official road. He was three or four meters away and jumped off the horse and saluted with his hands: "I will meet Li Bin when I meet Lord Chen!"
Chen Zaixing handed the water bag to the camel husband and looked up and down. He saw that he was a handsome man in his early thirties, but not Xue Ruowang who followed him along the way. He asked casually: "It turns out to be Lord Li, but I don't know where Ruowang is?"
"I dare not take responsibility for the emperor!" Li Bin smiled and said, "Person Xue has another mission. The general sent a villain to serve the lord. If you have any instructions, please tell me it!"
"Is there another mission?" Chen Zaixing was slightly stunned. He asked casually, but Li Bin only said that the rules in the army were very good, and he didn't know it. Chen Zaixing was slightly angry and thought that although he had a shallow experience in front of Gao Tingyu, he was at least a representative of the imperial military supervisor. Why did even a military officer who served him hide from him? He was angry and became stiff: "Since it is a secret of the army, the official will not ask. It's just that the sun has already passed noon, so why didn't the army stop to rest and have a meal?"
Li Bin already felt the displeasure in Chen Zaixing's tone, and his face was slightly sweating, fearing that he would have caught some of the young and successful adults, so he quickly said respectfully: "Sir, I don't know. The general has ordered the whole army to go on a journey, only two meals a day, and you will arrive in Eren within three days!"
"So fast?" Chen Zaixing was shocked when he heard this. Although the army of Youzhou Prefecture Army, Zhangbei and Manchuria led by Gao Tingyu was the army with the most mules and horses in the Dashun Army and the most refined training, it would be too rush to reach Eren within ten days. If you arrive at Eren like this, the soldiers will inevitably be exhausted. So how can you fight?
"That's right!" Li Bin looked around and leaned closer to lower the business and said, "Sir, Xue Ruowang was the secret servant of the Grand Marshal this time. He went east last night. He had been guarding the border in Hailar for five or six years, and was the most familiar with the way to Kulun there!" He smiled slightly, "Sir, you are an angel of the court, and no one can hide the secrets of the army from you! The Grand Marshal is not like this on weekdays, but there are only two people in the war. Not to mention you, even the late emperor has suffered a lot. You have a lot of them, so be more tolerant and take more responsibility!"
"Hairal? Kulun?" Hearing this, Chen Zaixing understood most of the time and had a better impression of Li Bin. After all, he didn't hit the smiley person! He reached out and patted the other party on the shoulder: "Mr. Li, the military affairs are naturally the commander of the general. I am just a circle-making promise. If I can handle the missions of the court properly, the first thing is to do!"
"My lord teaches me a lesson!" Li Bin was overjoyed when he heard this: "My lord understands the feelings of his hometown so much is really a blessing for his subordinates!"
"Chen, Chen!"
At this time, a strange shout came. Chen Zaixing and Li Bin looked back and saw that Jilins came over. Seeing that he looked quite embarrassed, Chen Zaixing made a gesture to Li Bin: "I want to perfunctory this foreign devil for a while, Lord Li will do it!"
"yes!"
"Chen, can you change me a livestock?" Jilins complained loudly: "Carriage, horse, mule, everything is fine, as long as it is not a camel, my stomach bag will bump out!"
