Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers
Jiang Lei listened to Zhou Baoyu's somewhat dejected words, and for a moment he felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
As Zhou Baoyu said, the war has not subsided yet, and there will be many days of fighting in the future. One day it will be his turn and others to follow in the footsteps of Duan Unbearable.
A general will inevitably die in battle. This sentence alone expresses the sadness of all generals.
From ancient times to the present, there is no ever-victorious army that can win every battle.
"Brother Baoyu, don't be so depressed. I can't bear the fact that my brother died on the battlefield alone has spread to the commander's ears. The commander doesn't know whether he can accept it. If we die in battle one after another, the commander will collapse.
.”
"For the sake of the handsome man, and for the sake of the unbearable brother, we should live well."
"As you just said, Brother Unbearable's youngest daughter is only one year old and has no father. We should live a good life and take good care of Brother Unbearable's wife and daughter, and treat them as our own children."
"Dad is gone, and if our uncles and uncles who can support them are also gone, how will they live their lives as orphans and widowed mothers in the future?"
Following Jiang Lei's admonition, Zhou Baoyu's sad eyes gradually became firmer. Holding the military flag in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, he stood up straight from the river beach, his body upright as if he was relaxed.
"You're right, I can't die. Even if I die, I have to watch the unbearable children grow up. I can't let the unbearable spirits die in peace in heaven."
Seeing Zhou Baoyu regain a new lease of life, Jiang Lei was completely relieved.
He was really afraid that Zhou Baoyu would have a death wish because of Duan Buren's incident, and that he would die in vain on the battlefield because of this belief even though he could go back alive.
A thousand armies are easy to get but a general is hard to find. Even though Dalong has a large population, it is not easy to train another tiger general like Zhou Baoyu.
The manpower, material and energy consumed are immeasurable.
"Brother Baoyu, it's too much for you to think like this..."
The trumpet blowing company interrupted Jiang Lei's words, and the trumpet sound suddenly sounded in the Dalong camp that had been quiet just now.
Zhou Baoyu and Zhou Baoyu's expressions became condensed and they hurried towards the handsome tent.
Neither of them knew without thinking that the Turks had begun to attack and harass again. After all, such things had happened more than once in the past few days, and they were already used to it.
However, the two of them did not expect that just after the battle in the morning, the Turks who had repaired their troops did not even have half a day to attack again.
The two of them had just arrived, and Yunyang's veteran generals were already rushing toward the central army's position in full armor.
"The whole army is preparing for war, with the same continuous formation as before, with cavalry supporting and infantry covering up and killing. The terrain here is complicated, which is very unfavorable for the cavalry's attack. Since they are eager to die, let's not be polite to them and accept their lives!"
"Got the order!"
Following the orders of Yunyang and Nangong Ye, the more than 200,000 dragon troops and horses that had just begun to prepare were once again ready for battle.
Without hesitation, Zhou Baoyu got on his horse and rushed towards the position of the Polu army with his command flag raised.
Passing by a middle-aged general, Zhou Baoyu slowly pulled the reins of his horse: "Chu Jing!"
The middle-aged general was about to get on his horse. Hearing Zhou Baoyu's words, he held the flag in his fist and looked at Zhou Baoyu respectfully.
"The last general, Chu Jing, the deputy general of the Futu Army, met with the general. I wonder what the general ordered?"
Zhou Baoyu looked at Chu Jing with a complex expression and sighed: "Chu Jing, don't forget to leave some young crops for your pagoda army."
Chu Jing was startled, and shook his head with a firm look: "The General's good intentions have finally been taken into consideration, but the General has said more than once, and the General has also said more than once, that there are no cowards in the Six Guards of our new army."
"Since the beginning of the war, we have only had heroes who died in battle, and no cowards who have fled in fear."
"The seeds of the Futu Army have been left. Our brothers are willing to imitate my general and vow to fight the Turks to the death!"
"Chu Jing, I know that you are all hard-blooded men, but don't let your brothers die in vain. You must remember the commander's instructions. When the situation is inferior to others, you must fight flexibly and never act recklessly.
"
"The general understands that the general will never bring his emotions to the battlefield!"
"General, we will live and die together!"
Zhou Baoyu looked at Chu Jing's outstretched palm and covered it with a smile.
"With the total death!"
"You go to the east and we go to the west, we support each other!"
"You will finally understand!"
The two cavalry guards seemed to have forgotten how many soldiers and horses the Turks were charging towards them, and they charged forward with their brothers, waving their flags and whips.
Cheng Kai, who was directing the artillery to set up positions, suddenly jumped up, frowning and looking at the painful sharp stones under his feet that were resting on the soles of his feet.
"Damn it, how dare you bully this general even if you are a piece of stone!"
Jiang Lei bent down to pick up the stone, and was about to throw it out. When he felt the sharp-edged stone in his hand, Jiang Lei was startled and retracted his action.
Subconsciously, he held the pebbles in his hands and observed them, glancing at the barrel of the artillery from time to time.
For a short time or not, Jiang Lei waved to a gunner and motioned for him to come over.
"General, what are your orders?"
"Come here with your ears!"
"yes!"
Jiang Lei came to the gunner's ear and whispered softly with a meaningful look in his eyes. After a moment, the gunner scratched his helmet and looked at Jiang Lei with a strange expression.
"General, is this okay?"
"I've been having sex in my humble job for six years, and I've never done anything like this!"
"If it works, try it first. How can you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it? I don't believe in Turkic leather armor. Soft armor can be harder than the soles of shoes."
"Yes, I know about it. I will take my brothers to make arrangements immediately."
"Okay, I, General, will go to the two commanders. You should seize the time to rearrange the intervals and positions of the artillery.
"I understand, I will resign."
In front of the Chinese army formation, Yunyang and Nangong Ye looked at Jiang Lei hesitantly and looked at each other.
Yunyang stroked his beard and thought for a while.
"Jiang Lei, you have been following Commander Liu. During the expedition to the Western Regions, you were the first artillery general in Dalong. I don't doubt your ability. I can give you a chance to give it a try, but if it doesn't work,
, let the artillery brothers retreat immediately, you are all precious little things, I don’t want to see you die in vain under the Turks’ scimitars.”
"Thank you, Commander, I will understand! I will resign!"
The Turkic cavalry who were charging from both sides to encircle them suddenly found that Dalong's infantry defensive formation was completely different from before, and it became a bit difficult to understand.
It's not that it's too difficult to attack, it's that it's too easy to attack.
With such a wide-open defense, the tribesmen were able to cut off Dalong's infantry in the middle, killing them three in and three out.
Zhou Baoyu and Chu Jing, who were making detours on both sides to contain the Turks, were also confused and couldn't figure out what Yunyang and Nangong Ye were thinking.
By arranging the formation in this way, wouldn't you just watch your brothers die under the iron cavalry of the Turks?
Everyone was muttering, and the roar of artillery drowned out the sound of galloping horses.
Many Turks can already judge the location of artillery shells based on the sound of artillery fire.
Many Turks used their old tricks to control the horses to avoid the cannonballs.
However, the Turkic forward soldiers who were charging at the forefront discovered after the explosion of artillery that their previous skills would not work in this artillery fire.
Amidst the duller gunfire than before, the Turkic cavalry in the van fell under their horses one after another like the autumn wind sweeping over the moon. Even many of the horses fell to the ground with their hooves tumbling and neighing.
Seeing the Turks suffering heavy casualties, Jiang Lei became more confident and excitedly waved the flag in his hand.
"Keep filling in the rocks for me, and hit his mother hard!"
"Wang Shengzi!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Go to the Marshal and borrow a few baskets of caltrops, and I'll let them try the enhanced version of Tiannu Sanhua!"
"Damn it, I'm a rough guy. It's hard for me to come up with such an elegant name. I'm going to give you a hard blow!"
