Seventy-one, carrying the coffin to the expedition (4)
"My son!" The old mother grabbed Song Huihong's sleeve hard, and tears the size of beans rolled out of her eyes, "Is this devil a fun thing?" The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if you have a good one, you will close your eyes and don't care about everything, but what should I do with an old woman? Boss, you also say something! Song Huihong's mother spoke to the old man who was squatting on the ground with his head wrapped around and smoking a bag of cigarettes. "This is the pillar www.biquge.info of our family, not to mention fifty taels of silver, five hundred taels can't let him go!" ”
Song Huihong repeatedly comforted, his mother just didn't listen, he likes to drink, and most of the money he earns from striking iron is used to eat and drink, but he is still quite filial, and it is not easy to push his mother away, so he can only smile bitterly and say to his father, "Daddy, you come and persuade Grandma!" ”
Father Song knocked on the cigarette pipe on the threshold and dropped the ashes, "Okay, don't howl, the eldest brother wants to make a living, this is a good thing, in the past, the family had no money, otherwise he would have to be sent to the school to study like others, the eldest brother wants to protect the family and defend the country, you mother-in-law, why do you still have to stop it?" It's a good thing, put away the tears, we should celebrate, the old hen in the house is killed, and then a dime of wine, and my eldest brother and I will have two sips in the evening. ”
Although Song's father didn't say anything, when he went to bed at night, Song Huihong heard his father next door, and he didn't fall asleep until the third watch, and he got up with his mother again, dug a few Lipu taro from the ground, steamed and dried them himself, carefully put them in Song Huihong's package, and stood in front of the room, watching Song Huihong leave slowly.
Thinking of when he left, standing under the morning light of the sky, his thin parents, his eyes couldn't help but get wet, he was not afraid of death, or he didn't know what death meant at all, but what he was most worried about was the aftermath of his parents, but a team member knew what Song Huihong was worried about, so he hurriedly comforted: "Why are you worried about this?" Oh, yes, you don't know the benevolence of our Admiral, as long as it is his soldiers, whether they are killed or wounded, he will be responsible for all the affairs of the family, and there will never be anything inappropriate, but he has taken out the rewards of the court and his own money. ”
Since this is the case, naturally there is no need to worry, Song Huihong is a little ashamed, he is so old, he gets paid after eating and drinking, and he has not taken a penny to go home, and the Admiral seems to be doing better than himself.
He doesn't know much about the international situation, but over the years, the newspapers that he can listen to and listen to have repeatedly said, "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband", what does this word mean, he didn't understand it at first, and he specially asked himself the teacher here that day, and he explained to Song Huihong, "The meaning of this is that whether this country is strong or not has something to do with us, you are striking iron, right?" The good steel and iron you fight are sent to the hands of the soldiers to kill the enemy, isn't this a contribution to the country, does it have something to do with us? Everyone is contributing to the country. ”
Listening to these words comfortably, he suddenly felt proud, and he was extra motivated when he struck iron, and he got this knife today, and he was probably the same as himself, and after hearing this sentence, he made a good knife while the iron was hot, right?
After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly heard the order, "The front army is attacking!" He hurriedly gathered his mind, the captain and the general on the side kept walking around, and carefully advised, "Don't be nervous, the French don't have many muskets, we are all wearing iron armor, if we don't shoot at the head, they can't kill us at all, be careful, the French shoot, let's just cat's waist, it's okay, listen to the order, we all stand in front, the big guy looks at one by one, wait for the order, let's follow the admiral to rush together!" ”
Song Huihong poked his head, saw the dust raised in the distance, looked at the general tent, and said happily, "It seems that we can win today!" It's just a few hundred French, there are so many of us, as soon as we rush, they will disperse! Keep the head for the brothers in the back to cut, our front army, we must first crush them all! ”
The general actually told a lie, the French army has enough forward as many as a thousand, and by no means a hundred, but these recruits can distinguish the difference between thousands and hundreds of people, hearing the words of the Shangguan, suddenly this originally somewhat apprehensive mood suddenly settled, and the face was not as solemn as before, but for the French forward commander Nigri, these Chinese in front of him are really not good.
"What's the matter, how come they still have so many soldiers!" Nigri stood on his horse and hurriedly ordered the French army not to advance any further, his face was pale, when did the Chinese appear so many soldiers! You must know that according to the analysis of the French Privy Council, in southern China, it is impossible for the Chinese government army to have such an army of more than a few thousand people, and the formed army has been scattered and scattered in various places in Beiqi.
What's going on? Nigri chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had a bad feeling, you must know that the Chinese are the most fond of using conspiracy, even if Zhennan Pass can't be defeated, it must not be dragged into their damn trap by the Chinese because he is not careful enough, he gave up pursuing the Chinese troops in front of him who provoked him, let them gasp and rush back to their queue, but took out the binoculars and carefully looked at the Chinese soldiers in front of him, the longer he looked, the more solemn the color on his face became lighter, Instead, smiling faces grew more and more pleasant.
Negri laughed and lowered his glasses, "These damn Chinese monkeys, trying to stop us with a sea of people?" This is impossible, if it is a regular army, 10,000 people I really need to be cautious, but these in front of me, unfortunately, my eyesight is very good, I can see clearly, they are just a group of peasants with weapons, not even muskets, not to mention artillery, okay, I originally thought about retreating, but at this time, I decided, we need to charge! He drew his saber from his waist and pointed forward, "Warriors of France, I give the order, strike!" Beat these people to their feet, and I will make them understand again on the battlefield that France cannot be defeated! (To be continued.) )
