389 Reinforcements descend from heaven
The two were talking about each other, when suddenly there was a roar in the sky, and the conversation between the two was interrupted for a while.
"Listen, doesn't that sound like a grenade exploding in our ranks?" The young non-commissioned officer Hongtang listened for a moment, and then asked about the Japanese soldiers around him.
"The voice is dull and roaring, it should be our Hongtang's grenade!" The Japanese warriors also listened attentively for a moment, and nodded again and again.
"Fortunately, it's okay, I didn't delay the business, Captain Lu, they are still sticking to it!" The young Hongtang warrior let out a sigh of relief and said, "Brothers, work hard, there are still our brothers waiting for our rescue in front of you!" ”
"Listen to the source of the sound, the direction should be outside to the south, judging from the sound, it should not be too far away, otherwise the sound will not be so clear!" The Japanese warriors listened and made judgments, and took the lead in taking the lead.
"Keep up, keep up!"
The Hongtang warriors behind waved their hands, and the Hongtang soldiers in the valley couldn't help but speed up the pace of action a little, and marched towards the place where the noise was made to the south.
At the same time, on the hill where Lu Yan's unit was sheltered, after several charges, he gradually became familiar with the battle of Hongtang's grenades, and the attacks of the natives became more and more fierce one after another, making the remnants of Hongtang tired to deal with.
"The southeast corner has been broken through, Dong Haoran, you take ten team members over and plug this gap for me, don't come back if you can't plug it!" While commanding the battle, Lu Lu looked at the four roads, and saw where he needed support below, and supported the only reserves in his hand.
"No!" Even Dong Haoran and the members of their staff were treated as a living force to fight on the front line at this time.
Fortunately, in these years, even if he is a civilian non-commissioned officer who participates in the deliberations, he must maintain daily training, and at this time, it can be regarded as a rare help from Hongtang.
It's just that with the last non-commissioned officer being sent out, if there is any unstable defense line in the future, it can only be filled by Lu Qi, the regiment commander, with the last guard.
The battle was extremely fierce, and as the Hongtang grenades gradually ran out, the natives' offensive became more and more difficult to resist. Just like this attack, the Lake tribe sent a thousand warriors, densely rushing towards this hill that was no more than two or three acres wide, and it seemed that they were preparing to take down the Hongtang team members in one fell swoop!
The western and southern defenses were broken at the same time, and dozens of indigenous warriors crossed the ravine in front of them and rushed into the hill where Hongtang was located. Subsequently, the defense lines in several other places broke up one after another, and even Lu Lu was too late to come to the rescue.
"Everybody leaning towards me!"
In the midst of the crisis, seeing that everyone was about to fall into the point of fighting for themselves, Lu Lu jumped between the branches of the temporary tent and shouted loudly.
Caught off guard, a feather arrow shot at Lu Yan's back, and Lu Yan, who was standing between the branches and shouting loudly, fell down in response, so frightened that several guards around Lu Lu shouted again and again, and hurriedly went to help up the regiment commander who was lying on the ground.
"Ohoo!"
Seeing the leader of the other party fall, the natives who rushed up cheered one after another, and the Hongtang team members who were fighting couldn't help but have a little more dead intent on their faces.
"Humph!"
Who would have thought that Lu Yu, who originally thought he was dead, suddenly sat up again, groped his right hand for his back, and then pulled it out, and a stream of blood shot out along the feather arrow that Lu Yi had pulled up, dyeing his left shoulder down red.
It is estimated that the natives, the shooter, shot a little hastily, failed to shoot the vital point, but shot at the shoulder blade of Lu Yu's left shoulder, which seemed to be bleeding like a lot, but in fact the damage was not great, and even had little impact on Lu Yu's combat effectiveness.
"Captain!"
Several guards hurriedly helped Lu Qi bandage his wounds, while vigilantly brandishing weapons to intercept the surrounding indigenous warriors with bad intentions.
Seeing that Lu Qi suddenly got up again, the morale of the Hongtang team members, who had already fallen to the bottom, rose a little more, and the remaining company commanders took the remaining team members to cover up where Lu Qi was.
By the time the remnants of the Hongtang team members converged around Lu Yu, their manpower had grown from more than 400 at the beginning of the battle in the morning to less than 200 left.
And with this continuous battle, the physical strength of the Hongtang team members was also exhausted. The belt soup last night, although it made everyone's stomach bulge a lot, but the energy that could be absorbed was too little, where could it support such a large consumption.
"It seems that we are all going to die here today, and we can fight with you in this life, and I have no regrets in this life!" Seeing the natives coming up in a steady stream, surrounding them inside and outside the three layers, Lu Yu knew that this time he was afraid that he would be in a catastrophe, but the experience of pirates for many years made him see life and death calmly, since this was already the case, he did not have the slightest timidity, but still had time to say a few words to encourage everyone.
"The head of the regiment said well, a good man should have died on the battlefield, my family is fortunate to be taken care of by our hall master, even if we die in battle, we don't have to worry about family life!" The rest of the Hongtang soldiers were back to back, touching each other, and in this crisis, some people had smiles on their faces, high-fived and shouted with their companions around them.
"Eighteen years later, we are a good man again, and we will be brothers in the next life!"
"Hongtang Whale Warrior, kill with me!"
The final fierce battle officially began, and the Hongtang team members were like the mainstay, facing the attacks of the indigenous warriors in all directions, and the entire defensive circle gradually shrank, fifty zhang, forty zhang, and thirty zhang......
But Hongtang's warriors still didn't flinch, and one of the display racks fell, and the two surrounding warriors took a small step to the side to fill the gap exposed by this warrior.
Lu Yu didn't know how many indigenous warriors he had killed, and similarly, he didn't know how many times he had been slashed, anyway, he felt pain all over his body now, but he felt that these pains were all hallucinations, not his own. Even his right hand wielding the long knife, in fact, there was no feeling, except that his numb hands still grabbed the long knife, every time he swung the knife, it was not so much that his arm was moving, but that his whole body was moving, and only by using the strength of his entire body could Lu Yu cut a knife that could kill the opponent.
The aborigines seem to be unable to kill, and what comes to everyone's eyes is always the dark and hideous faces of the aborigines. The team members around Lu Yu didn't know how many waves they had changed, and the guards who surrounded him before had already died in battle, and the people who were with him at this time were all members of other companies in the Whale Department.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Suddenly, the sky seemed to light up, and the entire space suddenly opened up, but Lu Qi and the others, who had red eyes and ears and eyes were unconscious, still shouted heartbreakingly into the empty air, brandishing swords and soldiers, until the whole manpower exhausted and fainted to the ground, or was called back to his senses by the huge shouts in front of him, and sat on the ground in a gloomy manner.
