"Report!" Three horsemen came galloping.

It was the scouts sent out by the marines, and after the cannon sound came from the side of Dasheng Pass, Dafang scattered all the scout cavalry at hand.

It is about twenty miles away from the main battlefield, and the scouts are both on both sides, riding handsome Arabian horses, and they can fight back and forth in an instant, so to speak, the entire battlefield is almost transparent to the marines.

Today, the Marines are beginning to land. There was a rolling hill on the bank of the river, which was suitable for the troops to hide.

The whole army of Jiannu was dispatched, and the attention was attracted by Zheng Chenggong. There weren't many scouts sent out by Azig, and they were all killed by the Marine scouts. In addition, the fierce battle was raging in front of him, and Jiannu did not find that a huge fleet and the Ningxiang army that was landing were stationed on the river.

"What's going on?" Dafang rode up on horseback.

The three scouts were covered in blood, and the leader of them was about to dismount.

Dafang waved his hand: "On the battlefield, Lao Tzu is not interested in this, sitting on the horse and talking." ”

The head of the scout said: "Yes, back to the commander's words, the forward force of the Zhen Navy has collapsed, and the follow-up two battalions of troops and the enemy are in a scorching position, and it seems that they can't support it, and Zheng Sen's main force of the Chinese army has been released." Their cavalry units had already been eaten by the Azig. ”

"Got it, do you have any injuries?"

The head of the scout smiled: "If you get too close, the brothers have been hit by a few arrows, and it won't get in the way." ”

A lieutenant general said to Dafang worriedly: "Your Excellency Commander, I really didn't expect that the town navy trained by the instructors of my Ningxiang Army will still not succeed, Zheng Sen has even sent out the main force of the Chinese army, and it is estimated that it will not be able to maintain it, let's hurry up and enter the battle!" ”

"Yes, Commander, let's go!" The officers of the Marine Corps were all gearing up and eager to try.

Dafang ignored everyone, and asked the scout carefully: "But it alarmed Jiannu, did it arouse their suspicion?" ”

Scout leader: "Commander, there should be no vigilance from the enemy. This battlefield is very chaotic. There are Tanma everywhere, maybe Azig thinks we are Zheng Sen's people. ”

Fang Wei bowed slightly: "That's good." ”

Finally, an adjutant general couldn't help it, and his voice became louder: "Commander, it's time for our army to be dispatched, there are still twenty miles left, and it will take half a day to walk just by walking." I'm afraid that the town navy won't be able to hold on, and I won't wait for our army to arrive on the battlefield. I collapsed first. ”

This sentence can be said to speak everyone's heart, and everyone can't help but go to the battlefield to fight. Since the Ningxiang Army implemented the military merit award, even the navy is full of fighting spirit, and if they want to obtain meritorious service and get some farm houses for their children and grandchildren, it is impossible for everyone to float on the sea for the rest of their lives, and when they are old in the future, they will always have to return to the shore.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes fell on Fang Wei at the same time.

Dafang: "What's the hurry?" After all, the town navy was trained by my Ningxiang army, and it was not so easy to collapse. You have to believe in Qin Yi. ”

He frowned and continued to ask the scout, "Has Zheng Sen's ironclad army been dispatched?" ”

Scout Leader: "Commander, no. ”

"It's good if it doesn't, it means that Zheng Sen still retains the power to fight back, and it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion." Dafang waved his hand: "Go down, continue to stare at the battlefield, Zheng Sen's ironclad army immediately came over as fast as possible to pray." ”

"Yes." The three scouts were about to retreat.

"Wait." Dafang: "Go and bandage the wound." ”

The three scouts said in unison, "It doesn't matter if you hurt this. ”

"It doesn't matter if your injuries matter. Something doesn't care. Dafang said coldly: "What I care about is whether your injury will be wrong, don't be able to send the information in time because of the serious injury, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law." ”

When the scouts went down, he glanced at the small boats that were landing all over the ground, looked at the river beach full of people, and then turned his head. Ask your subordinates: "If you have any questions, ask them now." ”

Under his majesty, no one dared to squeak anymore.

Dafang: "Don't speak, right, then I say, you listen." Do you think that so-and-so's movement is too slow, and you have to wait until the town navy fights to the end before you are willing to dispatch. I also know that you are now eager to put on your wings and fly over and join in the battle of the Great Assembly that has never been seen before. It's like we've descended from the sky. Easy to get an unprecedented victory? Joke! ”

"How many people are in my Marine Corps, five thousand. How many enemies are there, more than 30,000, what is the use of this person coming in immediately? This is not the way the battle is played. What we need to do today is a straw that breaks the camel's back, at the most critical moment. ”

"As for how the town navy is, I don't care, I just want to win." Dafang waved his hand: "Go down to control the troops, organize the team to go ashore, and wait for my order, I don't need your attendant here." ”

After drinking back everyone, Dafang stood on the shore for a long time, and when the team was on the shore and began to line up, he began to calculate the distance from here to the core battlefield and how long the marines would need to walk.

Twenty miles is nothing to the Marine Corps, and ten-mile cross-country running is a compulsory course for the Ningxiang Army every day. Under the condition that nutrition is guaranteed, the main force of the Ningxiang Army carries a weight of 70 catties, and the standard of 10-mile cross-country is a quarter of an hour; In a big competition, a team of the Weizi Battalion even set a record for one-fifth of an hour.

The Marine Corps is the elite of the Navy's elite and is even more intensively trained than the Army. In Dafang's view, these twenty miles, under the condition of loading, can be completed in half an hour at most.

Because, he was not at all worried that the troops would not arrive on time when it was time to attack, and immediately went into battle.

The only problem is that as soon as Zheng Sen's ironclad army is launched, the scouts will go from discovering them to spreading the news to their own ears, and then pulling the troops onto the battlefield themselves, it will take an hour to make it happen, hoping that the ironclad army can withstand Azig's attack, don't let the marines run in vain, and fall into the siege of Jiannu.

The time of this must be calculated accurately, and it must be suddenly killed when the two armies have no strength to fight, and there is no mistake in the slightest. If you launch early, you will cause the enemy to be alert and counterattack strongly. If it is late, the town navy will be finished, and the marines will not be comfortable, and it will be an unprecedented fiasco.

Dafang felt as if he was walking on the tip of a knife, trembling and walking on thin ice.

Thinking of this, he had a rare sarcastic sneer on his face: "Qin Yi, you are old, look at what kind of soldiers you have trained." 20,000 town navy. Even Azig couldn't bear it. Thinking about the Sizhou War, the Jinan War, and the Jinan War, Hou Ye only had many soldiers and horses at hand, and he didn't also walk sideways on the battlefield. I hope you can carry it for a while, and I hope your ironclad army will not be defeated by Jiannu so easily. ”

***************************************************

The fierce battle lasted for nearly two hours, and it was already afternoon. Soldiers on both sides, whether they were friend or foe, were ferociously waving their weapons. Forget about hunger and also about death.

There are dead bodies everywhere, and life is just a number here, worthless.

As soon as many soldiers drove up, they were instantly knocked down by the enemy's feathered arrows and hacked to the ground by broadswords.

Everyone was shouting frantically, muskets were firing frantically forward, white smoke was confused, and it was impossible to see. A neat platoon of guns fired, weaving a net of fire in front of the formation. It is no longer sustainable under the onslaught of the enemy's death.

The sword and shield armies and spear formations were torn apart again and again, and then organized again and again. The position did not stop moving back, and even Zheng Sen's main force of the Chinese army was all thrown into the battlefield, but there was still no possibility of turning the tide of the battle.

The battle had reached a critical juncture, and every time the sword, shield and spear arrays were torn, the musketeers behind would pay a huge sacrifice. These unarmored lightly armed warriors faced the fierce Jiannu. There was almost no way to fight back.

Some put bayonets in their muzzles and tried to get forward in hand-to-hand combat, while others fired indiscriminately.

Garcia stood in the crowd, and when he saw this huge war, he lost his mind for a moment. He used to work as a Jesuit missionary in Europe. It's not that there has been no contact with the military. On the battlefield, life and death are fierce, and it is the time when a person is closest to God. He had seen several wars in Europe, and even more so than this one, but on a much smaller scale.

"Oriental...... There are so many people! ”

His robes were soaked with blood, the blood of the wounded.

The medics had dispersed, and one wounded soldier after another was carried down by them like flowing water. Endlessly.

Garcia suddenly admired in his heart, the soldiers of this army are so brave, but unfortunately they are all new soldiers, and the casualty rate of new recruits on the battlefield is extremely high. It will take a few battles before it can be lowered. Today is the first time that many people have gone into battle, and according to the current situation, most people will not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.

A soldier was shot in the shoulder socket by a stray arrow and fell to the ground screaming.

Garcia and two medics rushed up to help him up, quickly took off his armor, and cut his clothes with scissors. Looking closely, the arrow did not penetrate the flesh deeply, and did not hit the large blood vessels.

Garcia's heart was relieved and comforted: "Child, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, bear with it." ”

The soldier scolded his mother, and a smile appeared on his face: "Damn, if you can live, ......" "Suddenly!" An arrow struck him in the forehead, and the man fell to the ground as soon as he flipped over.

The two military doctors shouted angrily: "Jiannu! "Grit your teeth and crunch.

Garcia shook his head, and by this time, he saw a musketeer crouching on the ground in front of him. He didn't know when someone had cut a big wound on his foot, and it was gushing blood.

The blood was flowing so much that it looked as if he was crouching in a pool of blood.

The musketeer kept stuffing the projectiles into the muzzle of the gun, pulling the trigger forward with each plug, repeating the action mechanically. But strangely, no fire came out of the muzzle of his gun.

Garcia understands that this is a dumb fire.

The soldier was too nervous to notice this, and he didn't know that he hadn't fired the bullet at all, so he kept repeating the action. It is estimated that he already has a lot of lead bullets in the barrel, five or six, or seven or eight particles, who knows!

In this case, it is necessary to insert the strip into the chamber of the gun, and pierce the tip of the strip into the buckshot to hook it out.

Recruit, that's it, no way!

Garcia stepped forward: "Soldier, your leg is badly wounded, I'll bandage you." ”

The soldier did not reply, and continued to fire forward.

Suddenly, he went limp and collapsed.

Garcia looked at it, and his heart was cold. However, the soldier's face was so white that there was no trace of blood, and the inner side of his right thigh had been turned over, revealing the red flesh and white fat layer inside. Without looking closely, this soldier's artery has been broken, and it is bleeding so much. Even if he barely sutures, he won't survive.

"Dao Chief, I'...... Will I still be alive? The soldier gasped for breath, apparently in his final position.

Garcia hugged him and muttered, "Rest well, rest well, don't think about anything, just right away, right away." ”

He took out a Bible from his bosom and placed it on the chest of the wounded soldier and whispered: "Almighty God and Father, you are the source of life, you have saved us through my Son Jesus, please look forward to him and receive him in eternal light." He believes that your Son died and rose again; May he share the glory with your Son when he is resurrected. All this is in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. ”

A clump of feathered arrows whistled and fired, the sound of servants continued, and a terrible cry rang out from the crowd.

Two military doctors rushed up and pounced on Garcia: "Priest, danger! ”

Garcia: "This is a holy moment, this is a divine moment, Amen!" ”

The wounded soldier seemed to understand a little, and asked weakly with a miserable smile: "Dao Chief, I really want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......" His body began to twitch.

Garcia pushed away the two medics and sat down in the middle of the flying feathered arrows: "Death is not the end, but the beginning. Life is so short, it's just a journey. Trust the Lord and He will lead you to Heaven, a paradise of honey and milk. There are four seasons like spring, there is no famine, no war, no sorrow. Rest well, rest well, and you'll be fine right away. ”

The soldier did not move, calmly closing his eyes.

"Praise the Lord." Garcia put down the soldier's body and made a cross on his chest.

……

In the distance, under the banner of the commander of the Qing army, Azig looked at the Zhen Navy who was desperately resisting in front of him, and his heart began to become irritable. He had never encountered such a stubborn enemy, and these dogs were crazy.

I think that at the beginning, after the army entered Shaanxi, it only took one charge, and the army of the thieves collapsed in an instant.

How could these enemies hold out for so long, they were not afraid, not hungry, not tired?

Looking around, the elite troops under his command have been released, and the enemy's three phalanxes have also been stabbed to pieces by the main force of the Qing army, and they are no longer in shape. But they still gathered together in a group, waving their weapons in response to each other, trying to get back together.

The Qing army has been mixed up with the town navy, and the troops will not be able to move forward until they completely kill this group of lowly Han dogs.

"Prince Ying." An adjutant general looked at the wounded soldiers who were screaming like flowing water, and finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Or, let Guan Ningjun come over."
