231 death squads
The 3rd Infantry Brigade was advancing rapidly, and they were running sixty miles a day. This was an order from their brigade commander. And it's a dead order. A lot of people are dying of exhaustion.
"Third brother." A recruit who was only in his early eighteenth years carried his backpack and held his spear and asked Zhao Laosan. They rested beside a small wood, their company had advanced more than twenty miles, and their shoes were wearing out after running for the past few days.
"Tell me, I'm dying of exhaustion." Zhao Laosan put down his shoes and leggings, and he was almost exhausted.
"Why are we running around like this? I'm running to death. "The recruit was transferred from the Yellow Turban Army. The enthusiasm was very high, however, I did not expect that just after joining the 3rd Infantry Brigade, they encountered such a thing, which made them run to death.
"This is a death order from the brigade commander, what is the death order. It's just running to death. Gotta do it too. Zhao Laosan said.
"Ahh This ran to death. It's also a credit. The recruit said as he paused.
"That's it, I guess, this time we're fighting the Northern Army. The northern army ran to the south one by one. The fucking one is faster than the rabbit, and we can't catch up with the fucking one. Zhao Laosan said so.
"Third brother. When are we going to have a fight with each other? I've heard that we just have to do it with each other. can make meritorious contributions. can be promoted. I've just come from over there. I want to run into a fight. The recruit said.
"Huh. I knew that this newcomer was like this, and I was like this at the beginning, but before we can fight with the Northern Army, we have to get our own bodies and bones right, and in such a situation, they can continue to fight, understand? Zhao Laosan said.
"Third brother, when will I be able to get a musket. With this musket, there is nothing to fear. The recruit asked with a smile.
"This, it's simple, your martial arts skills are promoted, it's fine. This musket is for you. Zhao Laosan said. Zhao Laosan knew that if he ran desperately like this, there must be a big war to fight. And the scale is certainly not small. The battle will be a tough one. The battle of this Northern Army was not so simple.
"Oh." Many of the recruits who came from there were very interested in muskets, and they thought that with such a large number of recruits, they could do their job well.
"Get up, get up." A herald shouted.
"Keep running, fast. Hurry up. "The herald delivered the order. Zhao Laosan, they heard such an order. They were shocked that they should have had half an hour's rest, but all of a sudden they were allowed to continue running.
"Company commander. Captain. Why is that? "Many soldiers stood up and gathered around their commander.
"The speed of the northern army's southward march suddenly reached eighty miles. And it is not far from the encirclement of the new army in the West Garden. The task is very heavy. This kind of tough battle can only be fought by our three brigades, brothers, get ready. The company commander said.
"No problem. Fuck it. One soldier said with a powerful fist.
"yes, fuck it." Many soldiers said it.
"Good. Everything except weapons, food, water was abandoned. Travel light. The company commander gave the order.
"Sir, this." One soldier said worriedly. It's winter, winter fighting, and throwing away all these things makes many soldiers feel very anxious.
"Execute the command. Fast. The company commander gave the order.
For a while, the company, as well as the other companies, threw away their burdens one after another. That's an order. It is necessary to resolutely carry it out. For a time, both sides of the road were full of the baggage of the Red Turban Army, spare shoes, and quilts. Even the military coat industry, which was reluctant to wear it, was thrown aside. They were moving forward quickly, because the speed of the Northern Army had increased a lot, and they had to complete the speed increase as soon as possible.
Temporary Brigade Headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Brigade.
"Old horse, isn't it too much for us to do this. The troops have been marching continuously for several days. I'm worried. Their physical strength is unbearable. Cui Changgen said worriedly.
"If you can't bear it, you have to fight, and this battle is to wipe out the third brigade. We also have to stop the northern army from moving south. Ma Heng said resolutely.
"Ahh This. Cui Changgen looked at Ma Heng.
"It's an order. You come, the situation is very unfavorable for us, although Chief Xu gave the order to march quickly. But if you look at the changes in the situation, you can understand where we are. Ma Heng said.
"This is the encirclement of the Xiyuan New Army, this encirclement is very weak, as long as the Xiyuan New Army can, they either launch a bigger attack and sacrifice a part of the troops, they can escape. And the Northern Army, as long as it touches this encirclement lightly, the whole situation will turn into a huge disaster. Ma Heng said.
"In this way, there is danger on Lao Mu's side?" Cui Changgen said.
"yes. Chief Xu must know this, but why do we continue to pursue it quickly? Ma Heng said.
"Because of us, Chief Xu doesn't want to face such a thing." Cui Changgen said.
"So, I think that Chief Xu is wrong in this matter, since he is wrong. That's the price we have to pay. Ma Heng said.
"You mean to make our 3rd Infantry Brigade pay such a price?" Cui Changgen said.
"Yes. Our 3rd Infantry Brigade is different, it is a bloody unit. Either way, we have to do it. Ma Heng said. Shang Wu did not give the 3rd Infantry Brigade an order for a quick pursuit. Because such an order is too difficult to give. The 3rd Infantry Brigade had to pay a very heavy price to hold the opponent. The sacrifice is considerable. Shang Wu didn't do this because of such a sacrifice, and he had even given Lao Mu an order to relieve the siege on his own. Because they can't eat each other. On the contrary, it will pose a great threat to them. In such a situation, Shang Wu could only give such a strange order. But the Red Turbans reacted accordingly on their own.
Small river beach. Two miles to the south. Pei Yuan Shaozhen took a battalion of troops and quickly galloped on the road. They were wearing thin clothes, and they were covered in sweat, and the sweat soaked the thin clothes. In such a situation. They get sick easily.
"Quick. Fast. Fast. Pei Yuanshao shouted loudly. He was in a hurry. What he got from Lao Zhou was a death order. Advancing at all costs to the small river beach, they had already run a full eighty miles. A battalion, more than 800 troops, suddenly dropped more than 500 people, and there were only more than 200 people around him, but he still had to be fast, fast. Fast.

"What, what's wrong." Pei Yuanshao said slowly.
"About 500 officers and soldiers have occupied the small river beach, and I see them preparing to set up camp and make a fire for cooking. Our situation. The scout said.
"Damn it. Come and rest, brethren. I'll tell you something. Pei Yuanshao was very anxious when he heard such news. All at once called on his soldiers to gather and rush over.
"Brethren. The small river beach was very important, and after passing through it, the northern army would drive south, and there would be nothing to stop them. Now, let me ask you. You reach out and touch it, is the thing in your crotch still there? Pei Yuanshao asked loudly.
"Sir, you say, what do you want the brothers to do, we didn't say a word. Dry it quickly. One soldier said profusely sweating.
"Good. It's all gentlemen, it's all men. That's what we did. We're death squads. Five hundred officers and soldiers were eating, and we killed them, served their pots, and killed them. We're nails, nailed there and don't move. Those who are not afraid of death follow me. Rush over. Pei Yuanshao said.
"Sir. Wait a minute. A platoon commander stood up and shouted loudly.
"What, scared to death?" Pei Yuanshao looked at the other party unceremoniously, what he was most disgusted with was such a soldier.
"Sir. Rushing over like this, the brothers suffered too much, and they were not physically guaranteed to beat each other, I thought, my platoon of brothers, and a few people, we carried ** bags, rushed over, and detonated. Then blow up a hole. Brothers, rush forward, and in this case, we will have a better chance of success. The platoon commander said.
"Good brother. Well done, you're a man. What is your name. Lao Tzu and you are brothers. Pei Yuanshao said.

"Come on. Good brother, this bowl of wine, drink. If you drink it, you are my brother of Lao Pei. Your son is my son, and I will raise your son. Lao Pei said.
"Sir, count me in. Count me in. "Others have come forward, not for anything else but for themselves.
"Good. It's good, come, mix with water, let's do it together. The death squad is all my brother. Pei Yuanshao said and mixed the wine jug with water, although there is not a lot of wine, once you mix the water, you may not even have the taste of wine. But this is the best wine he Pei Yuanshao has drunk.
"Bang bang." The bowls fell to the ground and shattered.
"Kill the Northern Army." Zhang Gouzi said and jumped out first with a ** bag on his back.
"Kill the Northern Army. Kill. "The death squads rushed out.
"Kill." "Boom. Rumble. Rumble. "Shouts of killing, explosions. The sound of assassination, for a while, the entire small river beach became extremely intense.
