Piles of yellow soil covered many young bodies. As they watched the corpses of the soldiers buried in the yellow soil, the surviving three hundred soldiers supported each other as they knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Lin Wanrong took the wine jar from Xu Zhen's hand and slowly poured the delicious wine into the soil. Looking at the sparkling and translucent wine seeping into the soil, he clenched his teeth and his nose turned sour. He immediately knelt on the ground and began to cry like a child.
The soldiers in the distance quietly watched this scene, looking at the three hundred soldiers who were crying bitterly. No one dared to say a word. Several hot-blooded soldiers took the lead, and the five thousand soldiers cupped their fists and bowed, showing their highest respect to these brave warriors.
Lin Wanrong tilted her head back and gulped down the wine. Then, she slammed the jar on the ground, the crisp sound echoing far and wide.
"Stand up, all stand up!" He carelessly wiped his cheeks, shouting loudly.
Hearing General Lin's shout, the remaining soldiers of the three battalions immediately struggled to stand up. Lin Wanrong swept his gaze across them, shouting, "Straighten your backs, stand like men — —"
The wind whistled, the three hundred soldiers stood ramrod straight, their heads held high, their eyes flashing with a resolute light.
"Our fallen brothers, they died standing, they have never fallen. Regardless of age, they are the heroes of China — — None of the soldiers that I, Lin San, lead are cowards. Remember this, I would rather die standing than live kneeling. "
"I would rather die standing than live kneeling!" the three hundred people shouted together, their voices hoarse, but with a majestic aura. Solemn and stirring.
Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan, Saint Li, and several others braved the cold wind, carrying a large stone from the foot of the mountain, and placed it in front of the tombs of the soldiers. The skilled craftsmen of the Divine Arms Battalion, with trembling hands and eyes brimming with tears, carefully carved the familiar names on the large stone. Lin Wanrong's face was expressionless, looking at the young names, his cheeks trembling anxiously.
"My — —" He roared, slashing the tree next to him. With a light crash, the tree slowly fell down. All the soldiers looked at their young general. To be able to serve such a loyal general, even if they died, it would be worth it.
Several soldiers of the cavalry battalion walked over, cupping their fists at Lin Wanrong, "General Lin, please allow us to pay our respects to our dead brothers."
Lin Wanrong cupped his fists, "Thank you."
One of the leaders sighed, "General Lin is brave and invincible, loyal and courageous, he is really our role model. My brothers and I are all full of admiration for him. We shouldn't have mentioned this, but we're here with General Di to rescue your army. Now that General Di's legs are broken and he's unconscious, how should we report this to the Commander? "
Seeing that his legs are broken and he is unconscious, how should we report this to the marshal? "Lin Wanrong cupped his fists. Lin Wanrong cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, please be at ease. I, Lin Wanrong, am the only one who has done this. My brothers have nothing to do with it, and I will not make things difficult for you. In front of Lord Xu, I will tell the whole story. Lin San has no other request, I only hope that you will report what you saw today to Marshal Xu. "
"General Lin's righteousness reaches the clouds, we admire him greatly." Seeing that General Lin took all the blame, the soldiers were even more admiring. They cupped their fists and bowed to Lin Wanrong.
At present, the three hundred soldiers by Lin Wanrong's side were no longer able to fight. In order to prevent another ambush, the five thousand cavalry battalion was stationed here, waiting for the morning to rush to Feng County to meet up with Marshal Xu.
Seeing the figures of the soldiers leaving, Du Xiuyuan worriedly said, "General Lin, this cavalry battalion's vice-commander Di Canghai is the disciple of Lord Tie. If we beat him like this, how will Marshal Xu explain to him? Will there be any trouble? "
"So what if we beat him, according to my opinion, chopping him up is already a light punishment. If there really is a fight, count me in, I will chop him up, see what else he dares to do. You Du Xiuyuan, after reading so many books, you are so timid, "Hu Bugui said disdainfully.
Although Du Xiuyuan was a weak scholar, but in the battle last night, not only did he command well, but he also fought at the front. Hearing this, his face flushed red. "Big-beard, what nonsense are you talking about, how am I afraid of trouble? Only you can take responsibility for the general. If someone really dares to harm the general, I, Du Xiuyuan, will risk my life to protect him. "
"If you are so cautious, how can you achieve great things?" Hu Bugui said.
"If you act so rashly, how can you achieve great things?" Du Xiuyuan retorted.
In less than a moment, Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile. Although the two were a perfect match, they were also a pair of enemies.
Gao Qiu and Lin Wanrong fought together last night and experienced life and death together. As the old saying goes, they went to prostitutes together, carried a gun together, so their relationship was naturally not ordinary. Listening to the two quarrel, he couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry, what kind of person is brother Lin, who in the world can compare to his brain? It has always been him who harms people, who can harm him — — "
Damn, what are you saying, am I that bad? I just occasionally harm people.
Three hundred brothers were buried in peace. After dealing with the aftermath, it was already dawn. However, Lin Wanrong did not feel sleepy at all. He stood quietly by the lake without saying a word. Du Xiuyuan and the others stood behind him, looking at the young general's back as he pondered. No one dared to speak.
Gao Qiu hesitated for a long time before he finally said, "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you, this is not like you."
Lin Wanrong turned his head back with a smile. "Brother Gao, I am still the same person, it's just that the battle last night made my heart ache, and I am not happy."
Hu Bugui smiled mysteriously. "General Lin, are you still worried about Di Canghai? To tell you the truth, when I beat that bastard surnamed Di last night, I added hidden nails to the board. His leg bones were broken bit by bit, he can't stand up for the rest of his life. Damn, who told him to insult my brother, let's see how he will harm people again. "
Lin Wanrong pursed his lips. This Hu Bugui also knows how to play dirty, he had underestimated him. Du Xiuyuan gave him a thumbs up. "Old Hu, this is the best thing you have done."
"Of course. Today's action was really satisfying, I, Old Hu, have never done something so satisfying in my life. "Hu Bugui was immensely proud of himself.
Lin Wanrong smiled. "Brother Hu, you and brother Du should not quarrel in the future, the two of you are a natural partner, one is a scholar and the other a warrior. If you cooperate well, it is not difficult to open up new territory and establish a career. Brother Li, the firearms of the Godly Machine Battalion can be further improved, you should also put in more effort. When I see Lord Xu today, I will ask for merit on your behalf, just by killing Meng Dou, you will definitely be promoted to a thousand households. "
The three hastily cupped their fists. "Thank you for your guidance, general."
Lin Wanrong sighed softly. "In the battle last night, my brothers suffered heavy casualties, but the phoenix is the phoenix that cannot be burned to death. The remaining brothers are all elites, you must guide them well in the future. And that Xu Zhen, he is also a promising talent, you must nurture him well. "
Hu Bugui nodded, sighing. "This battle, although we won, it was a pyrrhic victory. The White Lotus Army are fierce bandits, but they are also the people of China. At the end of the day, this battle was an internal conflict of our China. Even if we won, I am not happy. But going to the north to drive out the Hu has been my dream for many years, I don't know when I will be able to fulfill my dream. "
Hu Bugui himself was from Ji Ning, the majority of the White Lotus Army that was annihilated last night were his fellow countrymen, it was inevitable that he would have some sentiments.
"I suddenly have an idea." Du Xiuyuan suddenly said with a hint of excitement on his face, "General Lin, you're talented and resourceful. You're a natural-born commander. Our brothers love and respect you very much. Can we ask Commander Xu to submit a memorial to the Emperor, asking you to lead us to the north to fight against the Hu? General loves your soldiers like your own children, and you are good at commanding troops, this is something that everyone has seen, as long as you lead the troops, we brothers will have a backbone in our hearts, when the time comes, we will defend our borders, kill the Hu, we brothers will make great contributions to China. "
"Yes." Saint Li and Hu Bugui also became spirited. "With General Lin's divine foresight and ingenious strategy, it will be a piece of cake to destroy the Hu. Please take us there, General Lin. "
Lin Wanrong jumped in fright. F * * k, what bullsh * t divine foresight, it was just a fluke. If I were to use this strategy to fight the Hu on the battlefield, it doesn't matter if I am sacrificed, but if so many of our brothers are harmed, then that is simply unforgivable. His expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "This, I have not much interest in matters of war. Besides, death and injury are inevitable on the battlefield, if I see my brothers die every day, it will be worse than killing me. If all of you really understand me, then don't bring up this topic again. You are all capable people, I will recommend you to Lord Xu, your future will definitely be bright, I will entrust these brothers to you in the future. "
Everyone could hear that he had the intention to return to the sect, and they were immediately shocked. They hurriedly tried to comfort him, but Gao Qiu was the most open-minded. When White Lotus invited you here, weren't you also shy for a while? When the time comes, there will be someone who will think of a way to let you go. "
Lin Wanrong and these brothers had been through life and death together, and had already formed a deep bond. Chatting with them by the lake and listening to Hu Bugui's story of fighting against the Hu, for him who had just experienced a bloody battle last night, he could not help but feel his blood boil.
The troops set off early in the morning, heading straight for Feng County. Lin Wanrong's three battalions of soldiers were in tattered clothes, and the camp was full of injured soldiers, but they walked at the front with their heads held high, their faces brimming with confidence. No one dared to believe that before last night, this troop was still a genuine miscellaneous army.
The seventy brothers who were seriously injured were originally lying on the carriage, but the carriage was extremely bumpy, and they were in unbearable pain. Lin Wanrong anxiously looked at them, dismounting from the horse, and placed a seriously injured soldier on a newly made stretcher. Together with Gao Qiu, they carried him forward.
The seriously injured brother was agitated, struggling, "I deserve to die, how could I dare to trouble General?"
Lin Wanrong was enraged, "What nonsense are you talking about, you are Lin San's brother, what's wrong with me carrying you forward? If you say any more, I will throw you down from the stretcher. "
The soldier wailed, "General's kindness to me is like the clear sky and bright moon. My life, is in General's hands. "
"You little brat, you talk too much!" Lin Wanrong secretly wiped the corner of his eyes.
When Hu Bugui and the others saw General Lin's actions, they finally came to their senses, hurriedly dismounting from the horse. Everyone placed the seriously injured brother on the stretcher and carried him forward. The troops became sparse, but in an instant it had increased by a lot. The hearts of the soldiers of the three battalions became tighter and tighter.
The cavalry battalion behind them were all commanders, and when they saw the scene in front of them, their hearts were already moved. They waved their hands, "All troops dismount, cavalry become infantry, we will travel together — —"
"Travel together — —" Five thousand cavalrymen roared together. Seeing the injured soldiers in front of them, it was as if they could see their own shadows. With tears in their eyes, everyone willingly dismounted and followed closely behind the injured soldiers, not daring to overtake them.
