cannot be surpassed

Piles of loess covered the young bodies one by one. Seeing the remains of the fallen soldiers submerged in the loess, the more than 300 surviving soldiers supported each other, fell to their knees on the ground, and burst into tears. .

 Lin Wanrong took the wine jar from Xu Zhen's hand and slowly poured the delicious spirit into the soil. Watching the crystal clear wine seeping into the soil, he bit his teeth and felt a sore nose. He immediately fell to his knees, like He burst into tears like a child.

 The officers and soldiers of the cavalry camp in the distance watched this scene quietly, looking at the three hundred soldiers crying bitterly. No one dared to speak. A few bloody Qianhu took the lead, and the five thousand soldiers clasped their fists and bowed to these warriors from a distance. With great respect.

 Lin Wanrong raised his head, drank the wine, and threw the jar to the ground with a loud bang, and the crisp sound could be heard far away.

 "Stand up, everyone stand up!" He wiped his cheeks randomly and shouted loudly.

 When the remaining soldiers of the third battalion heard General Lin's cry, they all immediately struggled to stand up. Lin Wanrong glanced at them and shouted: "Straighten your backs and stand like a man??"

 The wind whistled, and the three hundred remaining soldiers all straightened their waists, held their heads high, and their eyes shone with determination.

 "Our deceased brothers, they died standing, they never fell. Regardless of Zhejiang and Shandong, regardless of age, they are all our heroes in Dahua... None of our soldiers led by Lin San You are a coward, remember this, you would rather die standing than live on your knees."

 "I'd rather die standing than live on my knees!" Three hundred people shouted together, their voices hoarse but with a rainbow-like momentum. Tragic and shocking.

 Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan, and Li Sheng, with their arms bare against the cold wind, carried a large stone from the foot of the mountain in the distance and stood it in front of the tombs of the soldiers. The skilled craftsmen of the Shenji Camp had trembling hands and tears in their eyes. Carefully carve familiar names on the big stone. Lin Wanrong's face was expressionless, his cheeks trembling as he looked at the young names.

 "What the hell??" He roared and struck the big tree next to him with his knife. With a soft crash, the big tree slowly fell down. All the soldiers looked at their young general. It was worth dying to serve such a kind and righteous general.

 Several thousand families from the cavalry camp walked over on foot, looked at Lin Wanrong and clasped his fists and said: "General Lin. Please allow us to pay tribute to the brothers who died."

 Lin Wanrong cupped his fists and said, "Thank you."

 One of the leaders, Qianhu, sighed: "General Lin is invincible, brave, loyal, and courageous. He is really a role model for us. All brothers and I have great admiration. This matter should not be mentioned, but today we are We came to rescue your army with General Zhai, but now General Zhai has his legs broken and is unconscious here, how should we report this to the commander-in-chief."

 Seeing the sincere expressions of these thousands of households, I guess they are not very evil people. Lin Wanrong clasped his fists around and said: "Everyone, please rest assured that what happened today was done by myself, Lin San, and has nothing to do with my brothers. I will never embarrass you. I will tell the whole story frankly in front of Mr. Xu, Lin Sanyi has nothing else to ask for, I just hope that all brothers will truthfully report to Marshal Xu what they saw today."

 "General Lin's righteousness is so great that we admire him greatly." Seeing that General Lin took all the blame on his head, those thousands of households admired him even more, and they all saluted Lin Wanrong with clasped fists.

 At present, the three hundred soldiers around Lin Wanrong are no longer able to fight in order to prevent another attack. The cavalry camp of 5,000 men and horses was stationed here, waiting for them to rush to Feng County in the early morning to meet Marshal Xu.

 Seeing the figures of those thousands of households leaving, Du Xiuyuan said worriedly: "General Lin, this Cavalry Deputy General Zhai Canghai is the disciple of Master Tie, the Minister of War. I beat him like this today. How did Marshal Xu explain it before? Is it possible? What's the trouble?"

 "Whether you beat him or not, according to my opinion, if you chop him, it will be easy. If there is really going to be a fight, count me, Lao Hu, as one of my own. I will chop his ass and see what else he dares to do." .You Du Suiruan, you have read some poems and books, but you are so timid and afraid of getting into trouble." Hu Bugui said disdainfully.

 Although Du Xiuyuan was weak, he not only commanded the battle well last night, but also fought with all his strength. Hearing this, his face turned red: "Big Beard, what nonsense are you talking about? How can I be afraid of trouble? Are you the only one who can take responsibility for the general?" If someone really dares to harm the general, I, Du Xiuyuan, will risk my life to protect him."

 "How can you do great things if you look forward and backward like this?" Hu Bugui said.

 "How can you achieve greatness if you act so recklessly?" Du Xiuyuan retorted without giving in.

 Lin Wanrong couldn't see each other for a moment before the two quarreled again, shaking their heads helplessly and smiling bitterly. Although they were a perfect match, they were also enemies.

 The high chief and Lin Wanrong fought together last night and experienced life and death together. They really fulfilled the old saying. They visited prostitutes together and carried guns together. Their relationship was naturally extraordinary. Listening to the two of them arguing, I couldn't help laughing and said: "Two Don't worry, brother, what kind of person is Brother Lin? With such a brain, no one in the world can compare with him? He has always been the only one who harms others, how can anyone harm him??,

 What am I saying? Am I that bad? I just hurt people occasionally.

 Three hundred brothers were laid to rest and the aftermath was dealt with. It was already dark, but Lin Wanrong was not sleepy at all. He stood quietly by the lake without saying a word. Du Xiuyuan and others stood behind him, looking at the young general. With his meditative back, no one dared to speak.

 The high chief hesitated for a long time and finally said: "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you? This is not like your temperament."

 Lin Wanrong turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, I am still the same person. It's just that the battle last night made me feel distressed and unhappy."

 Hu Bugui smiled mysteriously and said: "General Lin, are you still worried about Zhai Canghai? To be honest, I beat that bastard named Zhai last night. I was sure of it. I added hidden nails to the board. His My leg bones were shattered one by one, and I won't be able to stand up for the rest of my life. Damn it, tell him to insult my brother, and see how he can harm others."

 Lin Wanrong frowned, this Hu Bugui would also come up with tricks, but he looked down upon him. Du Xiuyuan stands tall

 Thumbs up: "Old Hu, this is the best thing you can do."

 "Of course. Today's move was so damn exciting. I, Old Hu, have never done anything so pleasurable in my life." Hu Bugui said proudly.

 Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Brother Hu, please don't quarrel with Brother Du in the future. You two are both civil and military, and are natural partners. If you work together, it will be easy to open up new territories and make contributions. Brother Li , the firearms of the Shenji Camp can be further improved, so you should take more trouble. When I see Mr. Xu today, I will ask for your credit. With the killing of Mengdu, there is no problem in being promoted to Qianhu."

 The three of them hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, General, for your cultivation."

 Lin Wanrong sighed softly: "In the battle last night, my brothers suffered heavy casualties, but the bird that cannot be burned to death is the phoenix. The remaining brothers are all elites, you must take them well in the future. And Xu Zhen, too He is a talent that can be created. We must cultivate him."

 Hu Bugui nodded and sighed: "Although we won this battle, it was a tragic victory. The White Lotus bandit army is a tough bandit. But they are also my Dahua people. In the final analysis, this battle still belongs to me." There is internal strife in China. Even if we win, I will not feel happy. On the contrary, it has been my dream for many years, Old Hu, to go to the north and drive out the barbarians. I don't know when or what month I will be able to fulfill my wish."

 Hu Bugui himself is from Jining. Most of the White Lotus Army that was wiped out last night were his fellow villagers. It was inevitable that he would feel some feelings in his heart.

 "I suddenly had an idea." Du Xiuyuan said suddenly, with a little excitement on his face: "General Lin, you are very talented. You are full of wisdom and scheming. You are a natural general. Your brothers love you very much. Can you? Marshal Xu, please tell the emperor that you will lead us to the north to fight against the Hu people. The general loves his troops like a son and leads them well. Everyone has seen this with their own eyes. As long as you lead the troops, our brothers will have a backbone in their hearts. At that time, guard our borders and kill the barbarians, and my brother will make great achievements for Dahua."

 "Yes." Li Sheng and Hu Bugui also cheered up: "With General Lin's clever calculations and clever strategies, it will be easy to destroy the Hu people. Please ask General Lin to take us there."

 Lin Wanrong was startled. I have a lot of scheming skills. I made a mistake. I wanted to use this method to fight against barbarians on the battlefield. It doesn't matter if I am sacrificed. If I harm so many brothers, it is simply a sinless crime. Forgive me. He calmed down and said hurriedly: "Well, I don't have much interest in fighting. Besides, casualties are inevitable on the battlefield. If you see your brothers killed in battle every day, it will be more uncomfortable than killing me. If you guys really understand me, , please don't bring up these topics again. You are all capable people, and I will fully recommend you in front of Mr. Xu. You will definitely have a bright future in the future. These brothers will be entrusted to your care from now on."

 Everyone was shocked when they heard that there was a hint of intention to return in his words, and they hurriedly tried to comfort him. Only the high chief saw it the most openly: When Da Bailian invited you here, didn't you also hesitate for a while? There will always be someone who will find a way for you to go when the time comes.

 Lin Wanrong had lived with these brothers day and night, and had developed deep feelings. Chatting with the four of them by the lake, and listening to Hu Bugui's stories about fighting against the barbarians, for him who had just experienced a bloody battle last night, it was inevitable that he would feel a surge of blood all over his body. boiling.

 The team set off early in the morning and headed straight to Feng County. The soldiers of Lin Wanrong's third battalion were in tatters and were full of wounded soldiers, but they walked at the front with their heads held high, their faces filled with confidence. No one can believe that this team was still an authentic motley crew before last night.

 More than seventy seriously injured brothers were originally lying on the carriage, but the carriage was extremely bumpy and painful. Lin Wanrong looked anxiously, turned over and dismounted, placed a seriously injured person on the stretcher newly made last night, and carried it forward with the high chief one behind the other.

 The seriously injured brother was excited and struggled: "My subordinates deserve to die, how dare they labor the general?"

 Lin Wanrong said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are my Lin San's brother. What's wrong with me carrying you forward? If you say more, I will throw you off the stretcher."

 The sergeant cried loudly: "The general's kindness to me is like the bright moon in the blue sky. My life is entrusted to the general."

 "You talk a lot of nonsense!" Lin Wanrong secretly wiped the corners of his eyes and said.

 When Hu Bugui and others saw General Lin's actions, they came to their senses and hurriedly got off their horses. They put the seriously injured brother on a stretcher and carried him forward. The team became sparse and grew a lot in an instant, but the hearts of the soldiers of the third battalion became tighter and tighter.

 The cavalry camp behind them consisted of thousands of families who were all commanders. Seeing the scene in front of them, they were already moved. A few people waved their hands and said: "The whole army dismounts, the cavalry turns into infantry, and goes with all the brothers..."

 "Come with us??" The five thousand cavalrymen roared together. Seeing the remnants of the soldiers in front, they seemed to see their own shadows. Tears filled their eyes. Everyone dismounted willingly and followed closely behind these remnants of the soldiers, step by step. I dare not go beyond it.
