Chapter 210 Hou Lin Leads the Troops
"Who's directing the Gatling gun? It's so fast, you'll realize how stupid you are when you change the bullets later!"
Zhao Sheng looked at the soldiers who were bravely moving forward and shooting crazily at the enemy with guns in their hands. He seemed to have heard something. They were so fearless and unafraid of death.
"Also, why are you fighting like this? Are you after my pension?"
Although he scolded them like this, Zhao Sheng actually cared deeply about the lives of these soldiers in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Liang Dong and Ma Biao beside him hurriedly rode their horses forward, trying to slow down the attack.
When the two returned, they heard Zhao Sheng say again: "Pay attention to the speed of the artillery and infantry. Fortunately, I don't have many artillery pieces. If there were more, you wouldn't have died at the hands of the enemy, but would have been flattened by my artillery!"
Ma Biao raised his head and looked in the direction of the position, and saw that the figures illuminated by the artillery fire were almost all the flags of their new army.
"My Lord, shall I go and ask them to slow down?" Ma Biao asked Zhao Sheng tentatively.
"Forget it, the battle is about to end. These bastards rushed in too fast. Pass the order down. Don't chase the desperate enemy. Consolidating the battlefield is the key."
As this order was issued, the team's pace gradually slowed down and they began to explore around, searching for the enemy's equipment and weapons.
"Report, it's too dark and we can't see the number of enemy deaths. Our army is counting the numbers." The messenger hurried to the temporary tent and reported to Zhao Sheng and others.
"Okay, I'm tired. I'll take the team back with me. We'll decide the exact number tomorrow. Be ready to set off at any time."
After the battle, Zhao Sheng felt his body relaxed and weak, and he fell into a deep sleep leaning against the carriage.
Luancheng in November is, after all, a cold northern city, and the faces of those who have experienced battles are covered with a thick layer of dust.
Shi Ge fled to the camp at the foot of Panlong Mountain. Tuoba He was seriously injured and was lying in the tent, dying. It was extremely difficult for him to even speak.
When Yuan Shan escaped back, he only had 10,000 men left. Seeing Tuoba He's speechless look, he became extremely anxious.
"Chief, you can't leave like this. Chief Yoyo regards you as the pride of the grassland. If you leave like this, the eagle will no longer fly high."
After saying that, Yuan Shan squatted on the ground and started to cry.
Shi Ge stepped forward and said, "Your leader is not dead yet. We need to find a good doctor. I will send someone to look for him. Perhaps he can be saved."
Yuan Shan stopped crying, looked at the look in Shi Ge's eyes, and said slowly, "If the leader dies, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
"If you can't go back, bury me here. What? Are you planning to be buried alive with me?"
Everyone is afraid of death. Some people are just hot-headed and want to use death to escape the entanglement of difficulties.
After hearing Shi Ge's question, Yuan Shan murmured, "Who would want to die if there was a chance to live?"
"Follow me, I won't let you die easily!"
"You won't die easily?..."
Yuan Shan's eyes rolled and he thought, "Just stay if you want to. Being alive is better than anything else."
After Lu Zhi was injured and fell off his horse, he was captured by Ma Damu and others. The team lost more than 10,000 people, but fortunately several generals were not killed.
Lu Heng was a member of the Lu family and also a general. Since there was no general in the army at that time, he stepped forward.
Chi Xun and Wang Yachun were both the backbone of the Lu family army. Now that the young general of the Lu family came forward to take charge, they naturally had nothing to say.
"Xia Xiaofei, follow my orders. From now on, you will lead the men under my command."
"I obey your orders!..."
Xia Xiaofei was suddenly promoted from deputy general to full general, and he was extremely happy.
Just when the Lu family was dealing with important military affairs, Shi Ge hurried over with his men.
"What? Now that Lu Zhi is gone, you have a new master?" As soon as Shi Ge opened his mouth, the generals of the Lu family army all glared at him.
"You little brat from the Lu Clan, stop being rude. Our Lu Clan Army is not a place for you to run wild."
"Tsk! Lu Yang pulled us over here and asked us to be Deadpool, and you hid behind and lost your lives. It's ridiculous."
Lu Yuan, sitting in the middle, heard Shi Ge's humiliating words and slammed the table and stood up, saying, "You slave soldiers! If it weren't for me, Lu, speaking for you in the court, you would still be slaves for generations. What harm would there be in asking you to die?"
Shi Ge looked outside the door and saw Mu Hui and Hou Shuai walking in.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hou Lin walked in wearing a mask.
He wore a silver helmet that had lost its former luster, its once gorgeous decorations now incomplete. On his face was a half-cut silver visor, with pus and blood flowing down the silver mask.
The white battle robe he was wearing was no longer clean, stained with blood and dust, and the torn edges fluttered in the wind. His black hair was scattered messily on his shoulders, and a few strands of hair were soaked with sweat and mixed with blood and stuck to his cheeks.
"When you talk like this, have you ever thought whether you can still see the sun tomorrow?" The voice sounded like it came from hell, deep, low and hoarse, frightening everyone.
"Who are you?" Lu Yuan asked, his upper teeth knocking against his lower teeth, his whole body trembling.
"I am the slave you are talking about, a slave who takes people's lives every day! Humph..." The man snorted softly, penetrating into the human soul and making Lu Yuan's legs go weak.
This is a kind of violent aura, a sinister aura that often takes people's lives. His eyes are as deep as the pitch-black abyss, sometimes flashing with sharp light, as if he can see through the darkness in people's hearts.
"Roar..." A cold light flashed, it was the gaze of the person who came, as if he was judging something.
"Master Shi, I, Lu Yuan, will be yours from now on. Whatever you say is what I will do. I respect you." Lu Yuan threw himself at Shi Ge's feet, tears in his eyes, and begged bitterly.
"I let this gentleman take over your team. Do you have any complaints?" Shi Ge looked at Lu Yuan who was kneeling on the ground frivolously, without caring about his life or death.
"No problem, the Lu family's is yours, hehe~" Lu Yuan showed a self-proclaimed flattering smile and grinned in the direction of Shi Ge.
"If you can be a good dog, I don't mind raising another one." The low and hoarse voice sounded again, and Hou Lin then walked alone to the center of the military tent.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Hou Lin, and others call me the Butcher. So, don't try to test me, or I'll kill you."
It was like a loud thunder, exploding in everyone's ears. The generals of the Lu family army were silent after hearing it, and no one knew what kind of changes would happen next.
"I won't interfere with your actions, but you must obey my command. My people will be with me at ordinary times, and they will take you with them in battle."
Hou Lin's words were brief and clear, his meaning was clear, and he was easy for people to accept. He didn't care what you did, but you had to obey him in everything...
After just one day of fighting, the number of people brought by Shi Ge, Tuoba He and Lu Zhi, which originally numbered 110,000, was reduced to less than 80,000.
It happened that Shi Li was planning to send people to support Shi Ge, and Hou Lin's injuries had not yet healed, so he took a dozen people to Luancheng. Shi Ge wanted to incorporate Lu Zhi's army, and Hou Lin arrived at the right time.
At this point, Hou Lin brought 30,000 people from the Lu family army, while Shi Ge's own people plus Yuan Shan's more than 10,000 people were less than 50,000 people. They planned to find a place to settle down in Luancheng.
