In Yanjing Village, Li Rulong was cleaning up the rebels. However, when he arrived with his army, the rebels had already run away. Even the commoners in the village had run away.
Everyone knew that once the Qin army arrived, not a single blade of grass would survive.
Staying would be suicide.
Hence, the entire village was empty.
There was not a single person.
Li Rulong was furious that he had missed again.
In fact, this was a common occurrence during this period of time. There were often rebellions everywhere, but when the Qin army went to suppress them, they could not find anyone.
This was on purpose.
It was to make the Qin army tired.
Li Rulong was furious, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. He ordered, "Retreat. We will retreat to the ferry."
"Yes!"
The messenger immediately made the arrangements.
Following the implementation of the order, Li Rulong mobilized the soldiers under his command and turned around to hurry on their way.
However, less than half an hour later, a soldier rushed over on horseback and shouted, "Lieutenant Li, bad news! We've been attacked, we've been attacked …"
His voice reverberated in the air without stopping.
Hearing this, Li Rulong's heart sank. His heart sank.
The situation was not good.
Li Rulong pulled on the reins, and the warhorse under him stopped. He waited quietly. Soon, the soldier ran over. This soldier had rushed out on horseback to report when the ferry was bombed.
The soldier's breathing was hurried. After adjusting his breathing, he said, "Lieutenant Li, our camp at the ferry port was attacked. There were warships from the sea that bombarded the camp. Apart from that, there were also Japanese soldiers as spies. Now, the ferry port has been taken over by the enemy. I reckon it should be the Xia Country's army. "
"B * stard!"
Li Rulong was furious.
One had to know that all the Qin army's warships were docked at the ferry port. Once the ferry port was lost, all the warships would be lost. This was an unbearable loss for the Great Qin.
Most importantly, after losing their warships, they would not even be able to go out to sea or return to Great Qin, let alone attack Great Xia. Without enough ships and cannons, attacking Great Xia would be a joke.
Li Rulong ordered, "Charge back, charge back with me. Seize the ferry port and take back the warships."
The soldier who reported said, "But the enemy also has cannons. Our current military strength is still slightly insufficient. "
Li Rulong was a valiant general and was known for his courage. When he heard the soldier's words, he lashed out with his whip. With a crack, the whip struck the soldier's body.
The soldier grimaced in pain, but he endured it and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
Li Rulong said in a deep voice, "We have no choice in this battle. If you don't take back the docks, you'll be waiting for His Highness to chop off your head. Do you want to fight at the docks or return to the city to be killed by His Highness? Which do you choose? "
The soldier said, "Kill our way back."
Li Rulong nodded and did not say anything else. He gave the order to return at full speed.
He led more than 700 men and rushed back to the ferry port in a short period of time. At this moment, Du Qi's army had already begun to set up camp at the ferry. The entire army appeared to be extremely orderly.
When Li Rulong saw Xia Xia's army, he frowned.
Xia Xia's army was not simple!
The camp was strictly set up.
Especially with the layers of defense, it would not be easy for him to attack. Especially since Li Rulong's cannons were all at the ferry port. He did not bring any cannons when he led the troops to suppress the rebels.
It would not be easy to attack directly, but Li Rulong had no other choice. He could not retreat. If he did, he would definitely be killed by Wang Tongtong when he returned to the city.
Li Rulong took a deep breath and ordered, "Pass down the order. Attack and destroy Xia Xia's camp."
"Woo! Woo! "
The sound of a bugle horn suddenly sounded.
The majestic sound of the bugle horn resounded throughout the pier.
The soldiers under Li Rulong's command were all holding guns and carrying machetes on their backs. They charged forward quickly. The charge of a group of people was quickly discovered by the sentries on the watchtower at the entrance of the camp.
The sentries immediately sounded the warning bell. The soldiers in the camp quickly responded and were all ready to fight back.
Even Du Qi came out of the tent.
Du Qi stood at the entrance of the camp and looked at the group of Qin soldiers charging towards the camp. They were now less than 50 steps away from the camp. He smiled and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
50 steps!
40 steps!
30 steps!
When the Qin soldiers were within 30 steps of Zhang Tie, their fighting spirit began to soar. Just as they were getting excited, suddenly, there was an explosion on the ground.
A Qin soldier was blown away by the explosion.
"Oh no, there are landmines!"
The Qin soldiers shouted. Even so, some of them continued to run forward.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
The sound of explosions continued to ring out.
One after another, the Qin soldiers who were charging forward were blown to the ground.
Du Qi saw all this. He saw the Qin soldiers who died after the smoke and dust dispersed. He also saw the Qin soldiers who were still charging forward. A look of approval flashed across his eyes.
This group of Qin soldiers could be called elites.
They did not retreat even when they were ambushed by landmines. It was indeed good.
If it were the Japanese soldiers, once they were hit by a landmine, they would be at a loss and would not dare to continue attacking. However, these Qin soldiers were incomparably daring and continued to charge forward.
The group of people continued to advance.
The distance of 30 steps was shortened to 20 steps in a short period of time.
This distance was already very close.
At this time, some of the Qin soldiers were using guns. However, it was not very convenient on the battlefield. Therefore, using guns was not very useful. It was better for some of the soldiers to charge forward with machetes and break into the camp.
Du Qi saw this scene, but he was not worried at all. He was very calm.
When the distance between them had shortened to within 20 steps, the generals under his command had already started taking out hand grenades and throwing them forward. Hand grenades after hand grenades landed densely on the charging Qin army.
The rumbling explosion sounded again.
The concentrated explosions dealt a blow to the Qin army. Initially, they were charging forward aggressively. However, at this moment, under the concentrated explosion of grenades, they were unable to dodge at all. They were ruthlessly blasted by a wave of explosions.
Li Rulong shouted, "Kill! Kill! Go!"
He did not care about the loss of his soldiers. In particular, Li Rulong thought that his soldiers were tall and strong, while these Japanese and Xia soldiers were small and were no match for him.
Even if there were only three or four hundred soldiers under Li Rulong's command left, as long as he killed his way in, he could still fight against ten and change the result of this battle.
He must win this battle.
Only in this way could he report to Wang Tongtong.
After a continuous wave of grenades, the distance was shortened again. At this time, at the gate of Xia Xia's camp, Mordor led his men to kill.
Mordor carried the drum and urn hammer in his hand. He did not ride a horse. Instead, he rushed into the crowd and swung the drum and urn hammer in his hand. With a bang, the Qin soldiers were directly knocked to the ground.
Immediately, there were countless casualties.
The Qin soldiers were proud of their physical fitness, but in front of Xia Xia's soldiers, they did not have an advantage.
In particular, Mordor took the lead to kill. Like a sharp knife, he stabbed into the hearts of the Qin soldiers, making them panic and unable to attack at all.
Li Rulong's eyes also fell on Mordor.
He saw Mordor killing.
This was a cruel mistake.
