After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng also realized the severity of the situation. He was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty is right. We do need to increase the number of ironclad ships. But I think five ships may not be safe enough. It would be better to increase it to fifty ships."
"Yeah." Li Dexian nodded in agreement and cast his gaze into the distance. "We have already entered the Hongfeng Basin for three days. If we go further, we may encounter enemies. Everyone needs to be alert and prepared."
As the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried horse hooves in front of them. Then a group of soldiers came to them with four tied-up foreigners. The four foreigners were tied tightly, with cloth stuffed in their mouths so that they could not speak. The soldiers loudly reported the situation to Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng.
"Your Majesty, Lord Marquis!" the soldiers shouted in unison, "The vanguard has captured four enemy spies in the front! They can all speak Jingjiang dialect and claim to know you, Lord Marquis! Please interrogate them in person!"
Li Dexian waved his hand to signal the soldiers to release the cloth balls in their mouths and asked them to kneel on the ground to wait for their fate. After the cloth balls were taken away, the four people immediately shouted excitedly. One of the handsome-looking men even looked at Lin Xiaofeng with tears in his eyes and shouted: "Lord! It's us! We are from the Brotherhood!"
Lin Xiaofeng took a closer look and found that they were indeed members of the fraternity. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
"My Lord, have you forgotten?" the handsome young man explained, "We are members of the Brotherhood! We have been active on the other side of the river. After we were caught by the enemy this time, we escaped under the pretext of gathering information."
"Oh?" Li Dexian immediately became interested. "Then do you know the specific situation of the enemy? How many troops do they have? Do they have many firearms?"
Facing Li Dexian's question, the four people looked at each other and answered, "Your Majesty, we only know that they are currently preparing for war frantically and have plundered the entire Sangjak. As for how many troops they have... we are not sure, but it is definitely a huge army. Moreover, judging from their marching speed, they will arrive here within ten days."
Li Dexian nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "Well, it seems that my guess is correct. They are indeed preparing a big move in secret. Old Lin, we have to prepare for the battle quickly."
Lin Xiaofeng also nodded seriously to show his agreement, and turned to the four people and said: "Since you can get close to King Hanjiang, then I have an important task for you to complete."
"Mission? What mission?" The four men immediately asked vigilantly after hearing it, their faces full of confusion and worry. It was obvious that this mission was full of unknowns and risks for them, and it might even be a life-threatening one.
However, Lin Xiaofeng did not directly answer their questions, but said with a gloomy face: "As a member of the Jinyiwei, you should be very clear about your duties! Now is the time when the country is in danger, how can you choose to retreat at this time?"
After hearing Lin Xiaofeng's harsh words, the four people lowered their heads in shame, not daring to complain or retreat. They knew that they had a great responsibility and mission, and they had to face all difficulties and challenges bravely.
At this time, Lin Xiaofeng waved and called a few Jinyiwei soldiers over, and whispered something in their ears. Soon, the soldiers brought four exquisite small wooden boxes and handed them to the four people.
"What is this?" one of them asked curiously, opening the wooden box and carefully observing the items inside. "It looks like a weapon!"
"That's right." Lin Xiaofeng nodded and said, "This is the latest weapon developed by Jingjiang - a revolver! This pistol can fire six rounds of bullets continuously, and it is also very convenient and quick to load! These four pistols are specially prepared for you! With them in hand, you will be safer and more secure when performing your missions!"
Hearing this, the four people all showed expressions of surprise and joy: "Really? That's great! We must thank you very much, Lord Marquis!" After saying that, they solemnly bowed to Lin Xiaofeng to express their heartfelt gratitude, and at the same time strengthened their determination and confidence to complete the task.
"No need to thank me." Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand and said, "As long as you can successfully complete the mission, it will be fine. Remember my words, when King Hanjiang wants to escape or commit suicide, you must catch him in time! This will be your last mission! If you succeed, I can guarantee that you can live a stable life for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, the four people nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis! We will never let you down! We will do our best to complete this task!" There was a determined light flashing in their eyes, as if they had seen the dawn of victory waiting for them not far ahead.
In the big tent of the central army, the King of Hanjiang was dressed in military uniform, looking heroic. Although her face was slightly tired, her eagle-like sharp eyes revealed an indomitable majesty that made people dare not look at her. On her left and right sat those old Jingjiang soldiers who had fought side by side with her, their faces full of loyalty and determination. Although many of the soldiers of the army were recruited from foreign parishes, there had never been a foreigner in the management of this army. This was the bottom line and persistence of the King of Hanjiang.
She asked in a deep voice, "Did the newly sent scouts bring back any new information?"
General Jianwei Su Hao immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the scouts have penetrated deep into the enemy's rear and found out the enemy's situation. The Jingjiang Army is still advancing steadily, but their formation seems a bit scattered and their vigilance is not high."
After hearing this, King Hanjiang nodded slightly and said, "Our scouts have also encountered Jingjiang's scouts, right? It seems that they are also alert." Her voice was light, but with an unquestionable majesty.
"Tomorrow, the two armies will officially engage in battle." The King of Hanjiang nodded again, his expression still as calm as before. For her, encountering enemy scouts was the most normal thing. If she didn't encounter them, it would be really strange.
Although the army she led was only the main force, it had more than 200,000 soldiers. The other two armies were quietly attacking from both sides, which was the highlight of this battle. Now, the King of Hanjiang had established a close intelligence network with the other two armies, and they were only waiting for the battle to start, and it would be their time to act.
Thinking of this, King Hanjiang couldn't help but sigh: "Although my nephew is young and ignorant, since my brother sent him here, he must have made some preparations. Their generals are all veterans who have experienced many battles, not to mention that Lin Xiaofeng is assisting them." When she said this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a determined light. "The intelligence must be verified again and again, and there must be no mistakes."
Su Hao immediately responded, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The spies sent by the Brotherhood have returned one after another. Their intelligence confirms each other, and the news is absolutely correct."
The Queen of Hanjiang stood up, her tiger-like eyes looked around, and she said in an excited voice: "I came here from Jingjiang, although it was not my wish, but fortunately, I have all the generals fighting side by side with me. Today is a great opportunity for us to avenge our previous humiliation and recover our homeland. If we can win this battle, we can return to Jingjiang and reshape the world! By then, all the generals will be crowned kings and ministers, and their names will go down in history!"
Upon hearing this, all the generals shouted in unison: "We are willing to die for your majesty!" Their voices echoed loudly in the tent.
In a foreign country, although everyone enjoys a rich and stable life, they are always concerned about their hometown in the distance - Jingjiang. In this strange country, they have seen too many disgusting foreign faces; but now there is such a bright future waiting for them to realize. Even though they are already old and the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges, they feel that everything is worth it!
King Hanjiang gave an order: "Bring wine!" Soon, the soldiers brought wine and food. After the king and his subjects drank together, she stood up again and said loudly: "Let's go!" With this order, the whole tent immediately became busy.
At the same time, on the battlefield in Jingjiang, Lin Xiaofeng stood on a high platform, holding a loud speaker, and made an impassioned pre-war mobilization speech. In order to let all the soldiers hear him, he used up all his strength, and his voice was like spring thunder, echoing over the battlefield. For this mobilization, he took off his military uniform and put on a brand new official robe. He looked energetic and people couldn't help but respect him.
The soldiers gathered below, their ears pricked up, afraid to miss every word he said. Their faces were full of determination and expectation, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
At this time, some soldiers were discussing privately:
"What is the Marquis of Jianye talking about?"
"I don't know. It's too far away and I can't hear clearly."
"Wait until he finishes speaking before asking others."
Finally, Lin Xiaofeng's voice gradually subsided, and he announced loudly: "Your Majesty has rewarded the three armies, five taels of silver per person!" The soldiers cheered and were overjoyed. They knew that this was an affirmation of their previous hard training and an encouragement for their future battles.
Lin Xiaofeng continued, "His Majesty is with you in this battle! His Majesty will see your performance! If you can achieve a great victory, you will be awarded a title of nobility, appointed as prime minister, and your name will be recorded in history!" His voice once again shook the entire position, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live Jingjiang! Long live His Majesty!" The sound waves rolled like waves and soared into the sky.
When Lin Xiaofeng walked down the platform, Li Dexian came up to him and said with a smile: "Old Lin, you are really good at boosting morale!" Lin Xiaofeng panted and waved his hands, "This is nothing." Li Dexian handed him a water bag and fanned him, saying: "You'd better stand back a little tomorrow to avoid getting hurt." Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Don't say unlucky words. I want to personally supervise the battle and see how powerful the new weapons are." The two smiled at each other, full of anticipation and confidence for the upcoming battle.
The next day, both armies launched an attack at the same time. The army of the King of Hanjiang was divided into three groups, like three sharp swords, and rushed straight to Jingjiang. The soldiers surged like a tide, the cavalry galloped like a dragon, the arrows rained down, and the artillery roared like thunder. The entire battlefield was filled with smoke and fire, and the atmosphere of ready to go was suffocating, as if even the air was trembling.
The scouts in Jingjiang kept reporting back the battle situation ahead, and Li Dexian decisively ordered: "Stop! Dig trenches!" Soldiers dismounted, waved shovels and began to dig. Soon, a U-shaped trench was formed. The musketeers and Jinyiwei entered the trench to prepare for battle, while the rest of the soldiers lined up outside the trench, leaving sparse shooting gaps in front.
This was the tactical arrangement that Li Dexian had decided seven days ago. Although the enemy had artillery, its range was not as good as ours. However, their large numbers could greatly shorten the disadvantage of effective range. Li Dexian knew that he had to wait until the enemy's artillery fire was over and the battle was close before he could launch a full-scale attack. Before that, the core combat power must be preserved without any loss.
Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian entered the trench together. They stood in the trench and looked down at the enemy in front of them. About an hour later, smoke and dust rolled in the distance, and dark clouds pressed down on the city.
"Your Majesty, the enemy is coming!" exclaimed Fang Cheng, who was in charge of lookout.
Li Dexian stared into the distance and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, I don't have time to take care of you at the moment."
Xie Hongxin, Luo Huajun and others straightened their chests and said in unison: "Don't worry, Lord Li, we are here!" Their voices were full of firmness and determination, as if they had seen the dawn of victory beckoning to them.
On the vast battlefield, the army of the King of Han River rushed forward like an unstoppable torrent of steel. On the plains, the dust was like a giant dragon swept up by the wind, dancing wildly in the air. The soldiers were crowded together, their armor flashing a cold light. At a glance, it was almost impossible to tell which was the solid ground and which was the surging crowd.
In this chaotic and shocking battlefield, there are two people hiding in a deep ravine, like two insignificant dots. They are Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian. They are clinging to the edge of the ravine, holding binoculars tightly in their hands, with tension and determination in their eyes. They are closely observing the situation on the battlefield, ready to engage in the bloody and cruel battle at any time.
Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian raised their telescopes at almost the same time, their tense faces reflected in the lenses. Li Dexian frowned, and his voice was filled with anxiety that could not be concealed: "Do those enemy troops really dare to go to the battlefield in person? Are they here?" Although Lin Xiaofeng was unsure, he tried to stay calm and his eyes never left the field of view of the telescope: "They are here." Although his voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Li Dexian didn't seem to fully believe it, and he asked again: "Are they really here?" Lin Xiaofeng nodded, and this time his tone was more certain: "Yes, they are here." At this moment, Xie Hongxin on the side sighed and interrupted: "The situation is unclear now, and it is difficult for us to judge." His words made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.
Li Dexian sighed worriedly: "Brother Biao is right, Your Majesty, we really need to be prepared. I am really scared." There was a slight tremor in his voice, as if he was trying to hide his inner fear.
At the same time, in the rear of the Jingjiang Army, the generals held the telescopes given by the King of Jingjiang, and looked into the distance through the flying dust and chaotic crowds. Their faces were full of solemnity and worry, as if they were under unprecedented pressure. They had never seen such a powerful enemy, but the Jingjiang Army chose to hold their positions and wait for the enemy to arrive. This courage and determination is awe-inspiring, but it also makes people sweat for them.
How could they face such a powerful enemy? How could they win this seemingly hopeless battle? The only advantage of the Jingjiang Army was that they were on a slightly higher ground and could overlook the enemy from a high altitude. But facing such a large enemy, this advantage was almost negligible. The outcome of victory or defeat was really unpredictable, and everyone was secretly praying for a miracle.
Seeing that the enemy troops were still pouring in, like a black tide that could not be stopped. Mod's face became more and more solemn, and his eyes revealed an unprecedented severity. He turned to the generals around him and said, "This place is not safe, we should retreat a little further." Although his voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable determination. All the generals agreed with his proposal, so the Jingjiang army began to slowly retreat, looking for a more favorable terrain to set up a defense line.
"Your Majesty! The time is ripe, just waiting for your order!" Su Hao rode his horse to the front of King Hanjiang, his face shining with excitement and expectation, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. King Hanjiang looked around with a telescope, trying to find the figures of Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng. His eyes wandered around the battlefield, but he could not find the trace of the two people. He raised his right hand and hesitated in the air for a long time, as if weighing the pros and cons. In the end, he chopped it down fiercely and made a decisive order.
Once the troops are sent out, there is no turning back. Millions of troops rushed towards the Jingjiang Army like a tide. The scale of this battle was unprecedented. On the dusty battlefield, the iron hooves were like thunder, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth. The soldiers charged bravely, showing amazing courage and determination. Su Hao was excited when he saw that the King of Hanjiang had made up his mind. He immediately took the order and rode his warhorse to the front line to convey the order to his adjutant. In the military formation, the flag officer held the flag high. At this time, the command and whistle had lost their effect. Only the command of the flag could still play a little role in rallying the army. The flag fluttered on the battlefield, passing orders from back to front, like the soul on the battlefield, leading the soldiers to fight bravely. Su Hao also came to the front and fought side by side with the soldiers. At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than two miles, and the war was about to break out.
The army began to sprint, and the sound of horse hooves echoed over the battlefield like thunder. The soldiers held their weapons tightly, and their eyes flashed with determination. They knew that this battle would determine their fate and future. Everyone was determined to die, ready to fight the enemy to the death.
Lin Xiaofeng held his breath nervously, staring at the front. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, as if every drop was carrying a huge amount of pressure and tension. Seeing him like this, Li Dexian shouted loudly: "Solid cannon! Fire!" His voice echoed over the battlefield like thunder.
As the order was conveyed, the artillery outside the battle array began to fire. Flames shot up into the sky, and smoke filled the battlefield, as if to blacken the entire sky. The Jingjiang Army fired first, but the shells fell into the enemy's formation like a stone thrown into the sea, without causing much ripples. It turned out that this was one of Li Dexian's strategies. He deliberately did not use shrapnel shells, but solid shells, in order to slow down the enemy's charge and consume their morale.
Su Hao saw that the shells fell into the enemy camp, but there was no panic or chaos. He sneered in his heart and ordered the whole army to charge forward! The rumbling sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing resounded through the world, and the troops of both sides crashed together like waves. Although Lin Xiaofeng was used to big scenes, he was also shocked by this shocking scene. When the two armies were about to engage in battle, he almost had difficulty breathing and could only hold the weapon tightly in his hand, ready to face the bloody battle that was about to begin.
When the distance between the two sides was shortened to 600 meters, the divine punishment cannon began to fire at the Jingjiang position! The artillery arrays of both sides began to fire at each other, and the front-line soldiers of the Hanjiang Wang Army rushed up under the artillery fire. Although people kept falling, they kept replenishing them like a drop in the ocean! No one dared to retreat, and no one could retreat! Under the artillery fire and trampling, I don’t know how many people died on this land, but the war continued cruelly.
Four hundred meters, three hundred meters... As the enemy approached, Li Dexian's breathing became smoother. The noise around him seemed to have decreased a lot, and he only had eyes for the enemy positions in front of him. He stared at the front excitedly and said, "Lao Lin, we are about to open the gate of hell!" His voice revealed a kind of expectation and excitement, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Lin Xiaofeng also nodded in response to his words. Their eyes were all focused on the front, waiting for the critical moment to arrive. The long flag in the gully slowly rose, which was the signal to launch a general attack! The front line of the Jingjiang Army began to show a three-stage shooting posture, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow.
The Jinyiwei also picked up their equipment. A thousand of them held submachine guns in unison, four hundred were equipped with infantry guns, and six hundred were in groups of three, carrying long heavy muskets. These muskets were hung with brass ammunition belts on the side, which looked extremely majestic. This was what they called the "Gate of Hell", and it was also the most powerful weapon of the Jingjiang Army - the Maxim heavy machine gun!
This weapon once had amazing performance in history, and even caused Emperor Jingjiang to abdicate. Submachine guns and infantry guns were developed based on this weapon. As a time traveler, Lin Xiaofeng naturally knew the power of these weapons. His eyes flashed with a firm light, as if he had seen the arrival of victory.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at the weapons that Jiyangqu's skilled craftsmen had spent half a year making, and he couldn't help but feel proud. Although they only had two thousand people and were facing a million-strong army, Lin Xiaofeng believed that as long as they could exert the power of these weapons, they would be able to win! He took a deep breath, tightly gripped the submachine gun in his hand, and prepared for the next battle.
On the battlefield, the enemy troops surged like a tide, their numbers so large that they seemed to block out the sky and the sun. Their armor gleamed coldly in the sun, and the tips of their spears flashed sharp edges, like huge waves before a tsunami, carrying the power to destroy everything.
The atmosphere in our army's position was solemn and tense. The soldiers held their rifles tightly, their stern faces full of determination and resoluteness. Hundreds of live bullets poured down on the enemy like a rainstorm, but the surging enemy did not seem to retreat at all. They stepped on the bodies of their companions and charged forward frantically.
The artillery fire of the Hanjiang Wang army gradually weakened. In order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces, our army had to go deep behind enemy lines. The soldiers watched the enemy approaching, and the tension in their hearts was like an arrow on a string, which could be shot at any time.
When the enemy was only 200 meters away from the Jingjiang position, the soldiers of Jingjiang stood still like a rock. They were not indifferent, but waiting for the best opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow.
This is a battle of extremes, and a severe test of the musketeers' range. Although we already have weapons that are beyond the times, musketeers are still the main force on the battlefield. However, facing the enemy's charge wearing heavy armor and holding shields, ordinary muskets seem to be powerless.
General Li Dexian stood in front of the battle formation, waving a small flag, and the military order spread throughout the army like lightning. Suddenly, a whistle sounded, echoing in the battle formation like thunder. This was the signal for the attack, and also the charge of the soldiers with boiling blood.
Soldiers with guns pulled the triggers one after another, and machine guns, submachine guns, and muskets fired at the same time, and the fire and smoke intertwined. The dense gunfire was like an invisible iron wall, blocking the position more than a hundred meters away, making it impossible for the enemy to get close.
The enemy's well-prepared equipment was destroyed by the dense gunfire. Our bullets, though small in size, were enough to penetrate their defenses. The charging enemy fell one after another in the gunfire, and the soldiers and horses were shattered, leaving a mess. Their blood dyed the grass red, and also dyed our vision red.
The enemy troops in the rear could not see the situation in front of them, and they still drove their horses forward, trying to break through our defense line. However, they passed over the bodies of their companions and fell into a pool of blood before they even hit the ground.
Infantry guns and artillery also joined the battle. Shrapnel shells flew in the air and exploded after landing. Iron balls and iron pieces flew everywhere with great power. Thousands of people were blown away in the explosion, and their flesh and blood were blurred. The people around them could not avoid it in time and fell down one after another. The whole battlefield seemed to have turned into a hell on earth.
Corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like a torrent. The area within a hundred meters in front of the Jingjiang position had become a real Shura field. However, our soldiers still stood firm on the position, their faces full of perseverance and determination.
The heavy machine gunners in the trenches had received orders and rushed out of the trenches, but the shooting area in front of them was blocked by corpses. The team with fierce firepower had already changed several rounds of gun barrels, and the steam from the cooling water tanks rose up, as if cheering for the war.
However, at this critical moment, a machine gun suddenly misfired. Three Jinyiwei quickly stepped forward, wearing gloves and handling the guns skillfully. One was responsible for checking the firing device, one was responsible for rotating the barrel, and another was responsible for supplying and repairing. This was a situation they often encountered in their usual training, so they handled it with ease.
The firepower of the submachine guns was replenished in time, and the machine guns were quickly repaired and put into battle again. The firepower on the battlefield became fierce again, as if it was going to swallow everything.
Looking down at the entire battlefield from a high altitude, flames and smoke were billowing a thousand meters in front of the Hanjiang Wang army. A semicircular vacuum zone composed of corpses had formed around Jingjiang, separating the two armies. This was no longer an ordinary war, but a one-sided massacre.
Although the Maxim machine gun was extremely powerful in later generations, it was like adding wings to a tiger for the ancients at that time, making people afraid. The enemy used traditional tactics to deal with our attacks, but it seemed powerless. They stood in a dense position, and even if they closed their eyes and fired, they could hit the target every time.
Lin Xiaofeng stood on a high place. The battle in front of him reminded him of the war between humans and alien insects in his previous life. That cruelty and despair seemed to reappear in front of him. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
At the same time, the King of Hanjiang was sweating profusely and his face was full of despair. He felt as if his chest was hit by a heavy hammer and he couldn't breathe. In confusion, he had handed over the power of issuing orders to the generals on the front line, and he was left with only confusion and despair. He originally thought that although the enemy's weapons were fierce, there would always be a chance to breathe. However, the enemy's offensive was endless, and it seemed that they had been forced into a desperate situation.
They had no way out, it was difficult to break through from the front, and they were short of resources if they retreated. Their morale could collapse at any time, and mutiny was inevitable. Even if they retreated to the city, they could only delay the enemy. However, there was no choice now, and despair penetrated their bones. King Hanjiang looked at the battlefield in front of him, trembling all over, and tears fell.
Su Hao was in a safe area at the front line, but he was already sweating profusely, his face was full of shadows, and his eyes were filled with fear. The situation was not what he expected, and the slaughter was unstoppable. He instinctively wanted to retreat, but where could he retreat to? Death in battle and humiliation were both a dead end.
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!" Su Hao's eyes were devoid of life. He frantically urged the army to charge forward, trying to make a final struggle. The other generals in Hanjiang also had the same idea. They encouraged the soldiers to die for their own selfish interests. No one was willing to mention the word retreat.
However, humans are not machines after all. Faced with the battlefield full of artillery fire and heavy casualties, the follow-up soldiers saw the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood in front of them, and they retreated in fear, and the scene was in chaos. The front and back clashed and trampled on each other. Some people tried to charge again, but they were caught in the hail of bullets and no one survived.
There was chaos in front of the Jingjiang position. The soldiers lost their fighting spirit and fled from this hellish battlefield crying. Fear spread among the crowd, and the scene of a crushing defeat was staged again. The fleeing soldiers fled in all directions like dogs that had lost their homes.
The offensive in Jingjiang paused for a while, and the whole army was waiting for General Li Dexian's order. Suddenly, Xie Hongxin and Luo Huajun led two Jinyiwei and rushed into the enemy camp with heavy machine guns. The Jinyiwei followed with ammunition belts ready to supply ammunition at any time, while Xie Hongxin opened fire. The four of them ran and fired wildly like a mobile artillery, and the enemy fell down wherever they passed.
Lin Xiaofeng's eyes widened when he saw this scene and he shouted loudly: "Xie Hongxin! Come back soon!!" His voice echoed on the battlefield but could not cover the sound of gunfire and explosions. His shouts seemed to be drowned out in the noise.
Lin Xiaofeng was furious, his voice was like thunder: "Xie Hongxin!" Xie Hongxin, who had already walked out, suddenly heard Lin Xiaofeng's roar, and he turned around with difficulty like a robot, facing Lin Xiaofeng. Luo Huajun was quick and snatched the ammunition belt from his hand, staring at him with flaming eyes, and shouted: "You are so stupid! Military orders are like mountains, who told you to move forward without orders! I can't stop you in time!" However, Xie Hongxin just smiled coldly, as if he didn't care about Luo Huajun's scolding.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng became even angrier. She waved her hands fiercely and sternly ordered, "Go quickly!" Her voice was as cold as ice, and the air around them seemed to freeze.
On the battlefield, although the enemy's position was in chaos, sporadic gunfire continued to sound, and the battle was far from over. Our side paused for a moment, as if accumulating strength, and then the gunfire sounded again, but the frequency had obviously decreased, and it seemed a bit powerless.
General Li Dexian's eyes were shining with determination. He stared at the battlefield and ordered loudly: "No ceasefire without my order! Keep shooting!" His voice was like a huge bell, echoing in the ears of every soldier. The military order was as heavy as a mountain, and the soldiers did not dare to neglect it. They gritted their teeth and continued to shoot.
The battle situation, under the heavy firepower suppression of the Jingjiang Army, began to change gradually, and it was no longer as intense as before. Lin Xiaofeng looked around and saw many corpses lying in a mess on the battlefield. The smell of blood and gunpowder filled the air, stimulating her sense of smell and making her feel bitter.
Killing people is not a good thing. Especially when she knew that many of the dead might be innocent soldiers or even civilians, she couldn't bear it. This battle was too brutal, and the number of dead might be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Lin Xiaofeng looked at the bloody battle, and her heart was filled with helplessness and grief. She really couldn't bear to watch it any longer, but she couldn't leave the battlefield.
She turned her eyes to the Jinyiwei who were holding their guns. Most of these soldiers had numb expressions on their faces. The fighting had slowed down a bit, but they were still gritting their teeth and pulling the trigger, as if they wanted to vent all the pressure and fear in their hearts on the enemy. Lin Xiaofeng sighed in her heart. Human power is limited after all. She had heard that the psychological quality of the ancients was very strong, but now it seems that this is not the case.
These Jinyiwei were not brainwashed. They just knew that they were fighting against the rebels. But what did the rebels have to do with them? Was there really enough reason to kill? Killing one's own kind was not something a human should do. Especially these Jinyiwei, most of their training was formulated by Lin Xiaofeng, and their values were closer to modern people. In such cruelty and bloodshed, their ability to withstand was weaker than that of ordinary soldiers. If the war continued to develop like this, I am afraid it would cause indelible trauma to their psychology.
But Lin Xiaofeng did not say these words. As the commander, she had to remain calm and firm. On the battlefield, the flags of King Hanjiang and other generals began to move back, obviously preparing to retreat. At this time, even those generals who wanted to fight to the death had to follow the order to retreat. Only the order to retreat could barely maintain order, and other orders would cause civil strife.
The defeated army retreated as quickly as the receding tide. Except for the soldiers on the front line who fled frantically, the rest of the enemy army also threw away their armor and weapons, and ran away in panic. They completely lost their discipline and organization, fighting on their own. They retreated like a tide, revealing corpses and debris all over the battlefield. There were also tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers who, after losing all hope, threw down their weapons and chose to surrender.
However, the artillery fire of the Jingjiang Army was still roaring. The order to surrender seemed not to have reached every soldier. Li Dexian's eyes widened, and he angrily ordered loudly: "The whole army pursues! The heavy machine guns stay where they are!" After that, he turned his head and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, and said in a deep voice: "I will go to pursue, you stay here."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Li Dexian's sleeve, and said anxiously: "Cease fire! These are all prisoners, don't kill them anymore!" Li Dexian frowned and shouted angrily: "Look! Tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers may counterattack at any time, the risk is still there!"
Lin Xiaofeng said seriously: "Even if they don't counterattack, it's difficult to manage so many prisoners. What's more, we don't have extra food to feed them. If we go on like this, it will cause trouble in the future!" As she said that, she pointed at the generals such as Mod, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if you want to unify the world, you must stop killing! They are all watching you. If you continue to kill, this war will be an unjust war!"
"Tolerance and kindness are the way to rule. Your Majesty, you should wake up!" Li Dexian frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "How can we solve the problem?"
Lin Xiaofeng pondered and said, "Let the generals take these surrendered soldiers away and leave five days of food, which is enough for them to reach the rear town. Now, we just need to pursue the main force of King Hanjiang. Don't forget that he has four trusted generals around him. Perhaps, we can defeat the enemy without fighting. If not, it will not be too late to fight again."
Li Dexian nodded and said solemnly, "This is a good plan." After that, he began to reorganize the team and prepare to pursue. At the same time, he turned to Lin Xiaofeng and said, "Go and discuss the follow-up matters with Mo De and others, don't delay the trip." Lin Xiaofeng nodded, jumped on the horse, and galloped away.
Mod and other generals stood in the distance, looking at the tragic scene on the battlefield with a dazed look. Their faces were pale, and they were obviously frightened by the scene before them. Although they did not participate in the battle in person, the cruelty of the battlefield made them feel terrified. The two even couldn't help vomiting. Even the generals who had experienced hundreds of battles felt a palpitation at this moment. They had never seen such a one-sided battle. The power of the Jingjiang Army was like the arrival of the gods, blocking the enemy a hundred meters away, while they did not lose a single soldier. This was simply not something that could be done by human power, but a natural disaster!
The ground was dyed red with blood, shocking. Moder realized at this moment that the Emperor of Jingjiang and the Marquis of Jianye were not just playing around, but they really had a formidable strength. They used to worry about the strength of Jingjiang, but now it seems ridiculous. With such strength, how could Jingjiang take other countries seriously?
Lin Xiaofeng rode towards them at full speed, her majestic momentum was like a flash of lightning that pierced the tranquil sky, attracting everyone's attention. Maud and others watched her approaching figure from afar, with both amazement and awe in their hearts. Her aura became more and more compelling as the distance shortened, making it impossible for people to look directly at her.
Jianye Hou Lin Xiaofeng always has a warm smile on her face. That smile is like the rising sun, warm but not dazzling, giving people an inexplicable sense of security. Her eyes are deep and peaceful, just like the broad waters of Jingjiang, flowing quietly, carrying endless wisdom and calmness. (End of this chapter)
