Chapter 225 Reinforcement? Where is the reinforcement?
Linquan. The eighth day of the Yingzhou defense battle.
The deathly silence on the battlefield makes people feel fear in the deepest part of their hearts. It is not caused by blood and death, it is purely this silence.
If the sounds of trumpets and drums were still blaring, if the sounds of killings were still trembling, then there would be no such fear, because everyone would be immersed in the fight of blood and fire and would have no time to be distracted.
But now there is nothing but dead silence.
You can even hear everyone's heartbeat clearly. One beat, one beat, and another beat. All of this is enough to make someone's spirit collapse.
Everyone is sitting on the ground numbly, with empty eyes. Helpless, sometimes some people actually wonder why the fight just now didn’t kill them? If they really died, there would be no such terrible waiting.
Living here has become a kind of torture
A soldier was twitching there constantly, his leg was broken, and there were several wounds on his body. Blood was flowing there constantly, his body moved, his eyes looked at the sky aimlessly, waiting for death to come.
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in front of him. He recognized this face. It was General Ding Yunyi and Ding.
The soldier knew that he was about to die, but he was unwilling to give in. He murmured: "General, where are the reinforcements? Where have our reinforcements been for eight days? We have been here for eight days. Reinforcements, reinforcements."
Ding Yunyi didn't know how to answer him. Where are the reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?
The thing he was most worried about finally happened. Just as He Fengsheng said, the reinforcements did not arrive in time.
Outside, there are densely packed enemies, almost blocking all the roads to break out, but what about the direction of Yingzhou? What's going on now?
"Reinforcements, reinforcements." The soldier kept saying these two words, and then his body shook rapidly.
he died
The bandits attacked here again and again. Without any concern for any casualties, they also achieved what they wanted, consuming the defenders' strength to the greatest extent.
There are only 380 cavalry left. From Xinyang to Yingzhou and then to Linquan, there are only 380 cavalry left from the 800 cavalry. The price paid is extremely heavy.
These loyal and brave cavalry never failed Ding Yunyi's expectations until their death.
"Behead anyone below level three, kill!"
They faithfully carried out this order without any compromise. The heads they chopped off with their swords were more than three levels each. More than a thousand, no, maybe two thousand enemies fell in Linquan.
How many enemies have been killed? Who knows. In short, every one of them understands the truth. Here, if you are alive, you must be ready to fight!
Now we are not fighting for anyone, but for ourselves.
"The reinforcements are not coming, are they?" Huangfu Yunjie came to Ding Yunyi's side and asked in a low voice.
Ding Yunyi shook his head: "I don't know. Regardless of whether they come or not, tomorrow is the last day. When the time comes, I will lead my brothers out."
Huangfu Yunjie nodded. He believed that General Ding could do it. No matter how difficult it was, General Ding would definitely be able to do it.
Ding Yunyi looked at his brothers, and there were still four brothers brought from Taiwan: Duan Saner, Wang Wei, Liao Jinxi, and Qin Guozhong.
These four brothers have no one to talk to, and no one has any complaints. Others don't understand you, but they do. There is nothing in the world that you can't do.
If we take another ten thousand steps back, even if we die, it will be worth it. Being able to die with the adults is worth everything. The only regret is that they can never go home again.
Penghu is so beautiful; Taiwan is also so beautiful.
Is there anything more pleasant than cruising on the sea in a fishing boat?
"Brothers!" Ding Yunyi's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of each brother: "The last day, let's hold on here for the last day! If the reinforcements don't come, I will lead you out!"
His voice suddenly dropped: "Go home, I will take you home."
Go home, no matter how difficult it is to go home, you have to go home
The brothers nodded silently and polished their weapons silently. Go home and insist on going home tomorrow for the last day.
Both sides have been exhausted from the battle. If the officers and soldiers are like this, the life of the rebel army will also be difficult.
For three days, officers and soldiers guarded this place, making it difficult for the "rebels" to advance.
Xinyang was completely defeated, Yingzhou lost its troops, and now in Linquan, Zhang Xianzhong had to continue to suffer terrible casualties. The defense line composed of a few hundred officers and soldiers seemed to have become an iron wall in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes.
He really couldn't understand where the fighting power of just a few hundred officers and soldiers came from?
The narrow battlefield prevented the "rebels" from fully deploying their forces, which was indeed a good reason, but it did not convince Zhang Xianzhong at all.
The most terrifying thing is the spirit of fighting to the death by the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.
"Father, Sun Kewang has launched continuous attacks on Yingzhou. The morale of Yingzhou is low. Sun Kewang will launch a strong attack tomorrow, and he will definitely capture Yingzhou tomorrow!" Liu Wenxiu came to him and said.
Zhang Xianzhong said "Oh", this is the only good news he has received in the past few days.
Without Ding Yunyi's extraordinary troops, Yingzhou would have been defeated long ago, but now he was dragged in Yingzhou for eight days. In eight days, he was able to break Fengyang and dig up the ancestral graves of the Zhu family's court.
"Father." Liu Wenxiu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng are blocking the officers and soldiers in Huoqiu. It has been eight days now, and I don't know if they can block it. Yesterday, Gao Yingxiang sent someone to ask why we still
In Yingzhou, the plan to advance eastward was delayed?"
"Gao Yingxiang?" Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly. Although Gao Yingxiang was the leader of the 72nd Battalion of the Thirteen Families Rebels, Zhang Xianzhong was not convinced by him in his heart.
If he were not the most powerful among the rebels, they might have been defeated long ago.
Zhang Xianzhong composed himself: "Tell all the rebel brothers to fight with all our strength tomorrow. We have suffered heavy losses, and the number of officers and soldiers is also decreasing. They can't support it for much longer! Also, tell Sun Kewang that after Yingzhou is defeated tomorrow, everyone will
Kill everyone in the city, leaving no one alive!"
Massacre the city! Zhang Xianzhong is ready to massacre the city!
He vented all his anger on Yingzhou.
"What if we still can't break through the officers and soldiers' defense here tomorrow?" Liu Wenxiu asked cautiously.
A trace of bitterness flashed across Zhang Xianzhong's face: "That's why Ding Yunyi is not dead. We have been here too long. Once the officers and soldiers break through Huoqiu and cover up from behind, we will be in big trouble. Tomorrow is the last day.
"Japan, if I still can't win despite all my efforts, Wenxiu, please give up here temporarily."
Liu Wenxiu nodded silently.
Eight days, eight days! Tens of thousands of rebels have been dragged here alive for eight days. Who are the people on the opposite side? Where do they get such determination?
What about Dingguo? Is Dingguo alive or dead now? Why is there still no one alive or dead body?
Liu Wenxiu sighed heavily when he thought of this.
Li Dingguo is still alive, but he is not as stubborn as he was when he became a prisoner.
The fighting power of the officers and soldiers surprised him, no, it was an unprecedented shock. He had never thought that the officers and soldiers could be so brave.
Facing an enemy that was ten times or dozens of times their own, these officers and soldiers seemed to be going crazy. They rushed forward again and again regardless of their own safety, and used their own lives to repel the rebel attacks again and again. In their minds, it seemed that forever
There is no such word as fear. As long as one of them is alive, they will fight and bleed!
And the source of all this power comes from one person:
Ding Yunyi!
Every time there was a battle, he was always at the forefront. He was always with his brothers, fighting bravely and killing the enemy bravely. He never flinched.
Before, Li Dingguo looked down on Ding Yunyi, thinking that he was the same as all officials, but now his thoughts are quietly changing.
He is different from those officials. He can share joys and sorrows, life and death with the soldiers. This is the most important reason why he makes the soldiers worth dying for him.
Moreover, Ding Yunyi seemed to be very interested in Li Dingguo. After every battle, he would always sit with Li Dingguo for a while and tell some stories that Li Dingguo had never heard before.
He went to Penghu, Taiwan, and the difference between the Hong Yi people and the Gan La Si people.
In his entire life, Li Dingguo has never heard of such a novel thing. It turns out that people outside the Ming Dynasty are actually different.
Missionaries from Shaanxi and other places are very rare. Li Dingguo and his brothers have never seen them and only heard about them occasionally. But this Ding Yunyi not only met so many Thais and Westerners, but also fought with them, giving Taiwan to Taiwan in one fell swoop.
Recovered.
He was very envious and longed to see what it looked like when the city of Relan was broken. It turned out that there were so many brave people among the officers and soldiers.
Regardless of mutual hostility, there are still many things worthy of respect in Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi also told him that when there is no war one day, if he and Li Dingguo are still alive, they will definitely take Li Dingguo to Taiwan to see what happened to the place that used to be called Relanlan or something, but is now called "Golden Eagle City"
How is it.
Li Dingguo is a little yearning. The outside world is big and very exciting.
It's a pity that he is a prisoner now. No matter what, Ding Yunyi will not let him go. He is just there to comfort himself.
But Li Dingguo still felt a little strange. What reason did Ding Yunyi have to comfort himself as a prisoner? Did he have other purposes for him?
No matter how hard Li Dingguo thought about it, he still couldn't figure it out.
