Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 108 The Eve Of The War
"Huang Kai, did you really escape from the Japanese pirates? I heard that those people ate human flesh and cut open the hearts and lungs of children when they caught them. All of them are reincarnations of hungry ghosts."

"Have you seen it? Also, how did you escape? They said you stole the Japanese bird gun and killed it. They said you shot it in the eye socket and killed three of them. Is that true? ?”

"Who told you this?"

"It's been rumored in the guards, especially Lao Pan from the Huotou Army, who told everyone he saw, and said that your kid snatched the treasure out of the Japanese pirates' den and secretly buried it in the crevices of some sea rocks."

The troops were striding forward along the avenue. At this time, Luo Laosan next to Li Mu couldn't help asking. He was about the same age as Li Mu, but he was very curious about this.

He secretly asked Li Mu several times along the way, but if it wasn't for the strict military discipline, he didn't dare to ask more questions, and Li Mu even felt that he was going to ask himself to the bottom of the sky.

Li Mu glanced at him twice, let out a few breaths, but kept silent.

After all, he didn't know about it, and Li Mu didn't like bragging, so it didn't matter if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Li Mu didn't say anything, Luo Laosan found another way and asked Li Mu how to increase the speed of reloading the three-eyed blunderbuss. Li Mu was able to make a few sentences, so he also whispered an explanation.

After knowing that it was just a way to practice hard, Luo Laosan's mouth almost turned up, thinking that Li Mu was just perfunctory himself.

But the next moment, he was knocked out of his head by the other team behind him, and even kicked, and he immediately became honest and stopped talking.

The Zhejiang army has strict discipline. During the march, they can't whisper to each other, and they can't fall behind for no reason. The troops must follow the flag. If it weren't for the big mission to be carried out today, Luo Laosan would definitely have to eat the board.

The team was still marching. After two days of marching, Li Mu found that the surrounding situation had changed.

At certain intersections, Li Mu could see some people dragging their families and going in the opposite direction of the team. They had a great panic about this marching army, but when they knew that this army was led by Qi Jiguang When they were soldiers in Zhejiang, they knelt down on the side of the road and begged one by one, begging the whole team to avenge their fathers and fellow villagers.

These people are sallow and skinny. Although they live in the wealthy south, they still cannot have a full meal. In order to survive, they can only leave their homes and flee to unknown places.

After such scenes appeared one after another, Li Mu could already feel a strong sense of indignation overflowing from this army, and could already see the serious expressions on many people's faces.

The atmosphere in the team was no longer relaxed, and there was more anger on everyone's faces, and Li Mu felt a kind of anger in his heart.

That is to recapture the homes that belong to these people whose families have been destroyed.

This feeling stirred in his heart for a long time, but Li Mu suddenly realized the changes in the battlefield this time.

The army went south, and the people went north.

This is not seen much in the past battles, but here you can almost easily see these people, you can see the joy of the people seeing this army, and you can hear the words of the people hoping that this army will kill all the Japanese pirates .

Often at this time, everything can test human nature and the ability of an army.

But at this moment, Qi Jiguang's army is the savior most hoped for by the people of Fujian. After seeing his army, everyone no longer sees soldiers as they see bandits.

It's more like seeing my relatives, meeting someone who can support me.

And the same is true in the hearts of all the soldiers. Luo Laosan next to Li Mu is from Fujian. Seeing such a scene, he was even more angry.

Li Mu suddenly felt that he knew something about this army. Under the strict discipline, there was another thing quietly spreading, so that every soldier was not afraid to shrink back.

The troops were still advancing, but at this time, small flags and officers on horses had already started running around in the long queue.

After listening to the previous words, Li Mu finally knew what was wrong.

The scouts in front had already encountered a group of Japanese pirates. Although they had all been killed, the position of the troops might have been exposed. Qi Jiguang ordered the entire army to speed up the march.

Li Mu also started to trot along with the team, the whole mountain was filled with the sound of clattering, and the setting sun was chasing behind the team. away from the battlefield.

"The troops will rest for two hours. After everyone has finished dinner, take a short rest and start again!" President Song was walking through the troops at this time, temporarily assuming the role of the correspondent, chewing pancakes and shouting to everyone along the way. shouted.

There were no torches erected around, and it had become pitch black in front of him. The winter in the south was cold and cold, and the moonlight in the sky had not completely faded. Li Mu could not even see clearly the pancake in his hand, so he could only eat it based on his feeling. with.

"Captain Meng, do you know where we are going to Xianyou this time?"

At this time Luo Laosan next to Li Mu spoke, and a deep voice sounded from the blackness in front of Li Mu.

"You, a Fujian soldier, are making fun of me. No matter where they are, as long as General Qi takes us there, we will kill the Japanese pirates when we see them."

"Hey, what Team Meng is saying is the same. You Yiwu soldiers are still powerful. Today we are still saying that you kill people without blinking an eye." Luo Laosan said with a smile, as if he felt that he was praising them, and he didn't realize it at all. The team I followed were all Yiwu soldiers.

Li Mu just kept his head down and ate, but Luo Laosan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he turned to Li Mu and asked.

"Huang Kai, where are you from? Why haven't I heard you say that before?"

"Ming people." Li Mu swallowed the last bite of pancakes and replied.

"Hey, it doesn't seem like anyone here. Let me ask you where you are from?" Luo Laosan continued to ask, but Li Mu was lying on the grass and ignored him, and the people next to him were also silent.

Luo Laosan was bored with the discussion, so he didn't ask any more questions, but the Meng team next to him spoke at this time.

"No matter where Huang Kai is from, he can fight Japanese pirates and kill them even though his face is bleeding. Luo Laosan, he is much more fierce than you."

"Then why are you telling him today not to be so impulsive?"

"That's what I said..."

The two were still talking, but Li Mu squinted his eyes and rested for a short time. It just fell into the night and he was only given four hours of rest. It is estimated that there will be a fierce battle next.

When Li Mu got up again, the surroundings were already full of flames. Many soldiers held torches in their hands, and Li Mu was also stuffed with a torch. All were shocked.

But after the troops advanced for about an hour, Li Mu found that the troops had slowly stopped, and there was already commotion ahead.

In the comforting words of the teams, Li Mu also roughly knew what happened ahead.

It seemed that a large number of Japanese pirates were found ahead, so Qi Jiguang ordered the troops to stop.

But after a short pause, the troops ordered to set up camp, but Li Mu discovered a different situation.

It seems that one or two hundred soldiers with completely different equipment started to walk forward from the back of the team. These soldiers with more aggressive aura and stronger stature walked forward quickly under the gaze of everyone. Li Mu could even see the surrounding area. adoring gaze.

"This is General Qi's personal soldiers, and they are all wearing cloth face armor, hehe."

"Those Japanese pirates are going to be in bad luck."
