"Erga, Sanniu, pass on your battle experience to Lin Yi. We're all brothers, so we have to try our best to teach him how to save his life.”
"Li Kui, you'll be the shield bearer. I'm considered a veteran as a sergeant. In the future, use your shield to protect Lin Yi.”
"Yes, Sergeant!”
The few of them said in unison.
After tidying up their uniforms and putting on their hats, everyone picked up their weapons and gathered in front of the military tent.
The various ten-man commanders and teams stood in front of their own teams, and the centurions began to take attendance.
Under normal circumstances, if a centurion had 20 soldiers under him, he should have 100 people at full strength.
However, Qin Hu only had 73 men under him.
The ones missing were the number of deaths.
Nearly a quarter of the people had died. If the new recruits were to be excluded, the number of casualties would only be even greater.
This was the first time Lin Yi experienced the cruelty of war. According to this probability, at least one of the seven of them would die in this battle!
Looking at his brother who treated him very well, Lin Yi's heart tightened.
At this moment, Centurion Qin Hu was lecturing from the high platform.
"The Wu Dynasty has invaded the sixteen prefectures of Yan Han. Now, they are garrisoning troops in Jiangyang City in an attempt to take down Luo Prefecture. A few days ago, there was a heavy downpour, and the river water rose sharply!”
"General, what you mean is to feign an attack on the Gui River and divert the attention of the enemy in Jiangyang City. We'll take the opportunity to seize the river mouth they occupied, destroy the dam, and flood Jiangyang City. Once the flood besieges Jiangyang City for half a month, the enemy in the city will have no food and will definitely fall apart. At that time, we'll attack the city with an army and recover Jiangyang in one fell swoop, directly taking the Gui River!”
"Good!"
"Good!"
Although the land of Yan Han was barren, the soldiers and civilians were brave and had the backbone to sacrifice themselves for the country!
Now that they heard that they were going to recover their lost territory and start a counterattack, the soldiers who were looking forward to this day were all filled with tears!
After all, the enemy had occupied their homes and
killed their parents, wives, and daughters!
"Centurion, just give us your orders!”
"Yes, our team will definitely complete the mission!”
"Team Two as well…"
"Team Three as well…"
Lin Yi and the rest of the seven teams belonged to Team Two. At this moment, Qin Hu ordered,
"The elites of the first battalion will move away from the river defense this time. The second battalion will lie in ambush from the side. Follow the first battalion to stall the enemy and buy us some time.”
The mission of our third battalion is to occupy the river mouth and destroy the dam!”
"Brothers, are you confident?”
"I swear to shed the last drop of blood for Yan Han!”
"I swear to shed the last drop of blood for Yan Han!”
More
than 70 soldiers shouted loudly. Lin Yi's blood also heated up and he shouted the same slogan.
"Alright, let's set off for the river upstream of Jiangyang City!”
The horn sounded again, and the soldiers left the camp.
Lin Yi and the others took a small mountain path, and more than 70 people were hidden in the mountains.
The scouts had already found out that there were about three hundred enemies guarding the river. They were lying in ambush at the bottom of the valley.
These people would be held back by the troops of the first and second battalions.
However, there were still a small group of enemy guards lying in ambush near the dam. There were also master archers among them, and there were about 30 to 40 of them.
In order to not expose their location, the army had to lie in ambush in the mountains when they arrived at the valley entrance.
At the same time, the sun was setting in the west, and the glaring sunlight was aimed at the defenders of the dam.
This was the best time to attack. The enemy archers would have their vision blocked due to the lack of light.
It was time to seize the dam!
"Charge!"
In the valley below, the enemy's camp was suddenly attacked by a battalion. Shouts of battle shook the sky below, and dozens of rockets flew into the enemy camp
. The tents and grass were ignited, and the fire raged, emitting black smoke!
As expected, the enemy troops in the valley attacked. One battalion retreated while fighting, delaying the enemy troops away from the river.
Centurion Qin Hu rubbed his fists and immediately gave the order.
"The time has come. First and Second Battalions, stall for time. Our Third Battalion must not lose face!”
"Now that the dozens of enemy soldiers guarding the river bank are all alone, let's end this quickly!”
Qin Hu immediately sent out a team to secretly climb up the dam while the sky was getting dark.
The Jiangyang River was more than 40 meters wide. The dam had been built more than ten meters, but because the dam was narrow, it could only accommodate about three people at a time.
Otherwise, if the 70-odd people were to charge over, all the problems would be solved, and there would be no need to waste any effort.
However, it was precisely because of this narrow terrain that the other party could defend themselves.
A team of 17 people divided into seven rows, with the shield soldiers in front covering everyone as they sneaked across the dam.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A few gongs suddenly sounded from the opposite side. A group of stowaways had been discovered.
Just as a group of people reached the middle of the dam with their shields, they were already within the range of the enemy archers.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh
!"
The arrows pierced through the air and hit the necks of the two brothers!
"Ernao!"
"Hua Zi!"
The brothers on this side watched as their acquaintances died, and that cold arrow hit their hearts. It was really an arrow that pierced through their hearts!
A few of them only had time to scream as their hearts were pierced by arrows. Their bodies fell to the ground weakly…
Behind the shield soldiers, five people died in a row, and the enemy archers were still aiming!
With a few more air-piercing sounds, another four people fell!
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears. Nine lives were over just like that!
The remaining few people rushed to the opposite side. The shieldbearers who had been lying in ambush in the forest were already waiting with sharp steel knives in their hands.
How could the few people who had rushed to the other side block the encirclement of more than ten people?
In the blink of an eye, a team of 17 people was completely annihilated…
Nine people died under the enemy archers, and eight people were surrounded and killed by the enemy, with their heads chopped off!
As for the fifty or so brothers who were restricted by the terrain, their eyes were filled with tears, but they were helpless…
This was the battlefield!
This was the first time Lin Yi was so shocked. Seventeen lives were gone just like that!
(That's all for today. The number of flowers has already exceeded 2,000. I'll add more tomorrow.)
