=========================

Fast forward to summer, and Sherman's army was 22 miles away from Atlanta, just short of the last line of defense before they could break into the city.

Since then, the northern army continued to bombard the fortifications outside the city. The sound was like thunder, and the people in the city were frightened.

There are countless casualties in every war, because the south lacks the source of troops, the militia regiment that Reid belongs to goes to the battlefield.

The citizens all came to see them off. No matter how worried they were about the future, everyone smiled and cheered for them.

Su Lun was also in the send-off team.

This is an army composed of old people and children. Ashley's elderly father said goodbye to Melanie, and Meade's son was only 16 years old, and he dared to face the battlefield at this time.

Because of the lack of armaments in the South, many of them had no weapons and could only be equipped with guns, hoping to capture the weapons of the Northern Army on the battlefield.

Courage and spirit are the only things they have.

Su Lun quickly saw Reid, his expression was very serious, his eyes circled around the team, and his brows were tightly frowned.

At this moment, he found Su Lun and immediately looked this way.He smiled, trying to look relaxed, but Su Lun read very complicated emotions in his eyes.

The rise and fall, everyone is responsible.

It's hard not to be touched by Rhett seeing these passionate people, right?

In the original book, why did he join the army at the end and fight a doomed battle?

Because he saw that teenage children were defending their homes, but he was having a good time, drinking and talking about love.

His last conscience could not tolerate his meager existence, so he joined the army resolutely.Because of the halo of the hero, he didn't die in the war.

People are afraid of death, but some things are sometimes more important than life.

What is Rhett thinking now, will he really come back alive?Will the hero's halo bless him?

"Honey, give me a kiss? After you kiss me, I will have the courage to face anything." A bass voice whispered in her ear with some pleading.

Rhett didn't know when he came to her, and looked at her intently.He no longer looks like a slut. If he is said to be a general, people who don't know him will probably believe him.

Su Lun looked at him, his eyes were sour, and finally tears came down.

"Good girl, don't cry, wait for me to come back." Rhett first kissed away the tears on her face, and then kissed her lips tightly, almost suffocating her.

She woke up dizzily, he had already flowed out of the city gate with the crowd, and went to the battlefield outside the city.

Then wounded soldiers entered the city continuously, and whenever those faces covered with dust and blood appeared in front of her, she was full of fear.

But, luckily, it wasn't him, it wasn't him.

Gradually, she convinced herself that Rhett would not be so easily hurt.He has weapons, professional military accomplishments, and the halo of the male lead, so he won't lie down easily.

The defense of Atlanta achieved a short-lived victory. For 25 days, they stood firm on the military highlands, leaving Sherman in a dilemma.

Atlanta fell into a carnival, and they thought Atlanta had saved it.Everyone began to hold a dance party to welcome and cheer for the soldiers entering the city.

Crowds poured into Atlanta again.Those who fled to Macon came back, and even the country people came to the city in batches.

Some came to visit their relatives and take care of wounded soldiers.

Young girls are looking for husbands, because the war has taken young men from the country, and they want to get married, so they have to come to the city.

Rhett went home too, after being away for a week.

She heard at the hospital that they would take turns off, so she hurried back home.When she got to the door, she heard Rhett's voice.

"Dad, where have you been?" Aurora asked.

"Baby, Dad is going to beat up the bad guys." Rhett kissed her little face, making her giggle.

At this moment, he found Su Lun, straightened up immediately, and said with a smug smile, "Mrs. Butler, I'm not lying, I'm back."

Su Lun stood on the spot and looked at him, and found that he had lost some weight, and his bronze-colored face was now so black that it shone.

But his spirit is still good, he is wearing the suit he usually wears, clean, as if he has never left.

"Honey. How long are you going to stand stupidly without giving me a kiss?" Rhett smiled jokingly, raised his arms, and opened his arms to her.

Su Lun immediately stepped forward and gave him a kiss. Just as he was about to get up, he hugged him tightly and kissed him back deeply.

She quickly pushed him away as Aurora hugged her thigh.The two looked down, only to see her eyes wide open, looking at them curiously.

"Mom, hug." Aurora tugged at her skirt.

When Su Lun picked her up, Aurora looked around at them, pressed a wet kiss on her face, and then stretched her neck to kiss Rhett.

Rhett grinned, brought his face closer, and let her kiss him.

Turns out Aurora saw them kissing and wanted to join in too.At this time, she got what she wanted, giggled, and rubbed her arms around Su Lun's neck.

Su Lun glanced at Rhett, seeing that his gaze was still on her face, she lowered her head and smiled.

When it was dark and there were only the two of them in the room, the atmosphere became ambiguous.

When Rhett took off his clothes, she found a wound on his body, the wound was not big, but it made her stop her eyes.

"How did you do this?" She touched the area around the wound with her hand, and felt her heart tighten.

"It's just scratched, nothing." Reid glanced down and found that it was stabbed during the fight with the Northern Army, and he actually forgot about it.

"No, let's bandage it." Su Lun pushed him away, took out iodine and bandages from the cabinet, and sterilized and bandaged him.

The dim light drew a hazy silhouette on her body, her expression was very focused, and her brows were slightly frowned, as if gently pulling his heart.

During the whole process, Rhett just looked at her with a smile and focused on her. He never thought she was as beautiful as she was at this moment.

Although she never admits it, he can feel that she loves him.This feeling became very clear at this moment.

Although this love is a little shallow, it is like a stream with a clear bottom.But as long as she loves him more and more day by day, the creeks will eventually merge into rivers and seas one day.

His gaze was so existential, it seemed to have warmth, lingering inch by inch on her face.Su Lun's face gradually turned red, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

When she removed her hand from his chest, he pulled her into his arms.Her nose bumped into his wound, but he turned a deaf ear to him, turning over and pressing her under him.

Su Lun was about to ask him if it hurt, but he swallowed it.His movements were a little rough, and the rhythm was a little urgent, like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time, and couldn't let go of his mouth when he pounced on him.

Being the target of the hungry wolf, she felt a little out of breath.During his attack, she once again fell into a kind of trance.Whether it was pain or joy, she couldn't tell the difference again.

Perhaps, when pleasure reaches its extreme, it becomes pain, and vice versa.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, if Su Lun hadn't insisted, I'm afraid she would have spent the next day in bed.

Red stayed at home for three days before returning to war.

On the day he left, the sky was gray, and in the unknown clouds, there seemed to be unknown dangers hidden.

In the next few days, Su Lun always woke up in the middle of the night, restless.

Sherman is a military genius. Facing the stubborn defense of the Confederate Army, he adopted the old method of outflanking.

The Northern Army directly made a big detour, bypassing the fortifications, and raided the rear of Atlanta. The Southern Army was forced to abandon its position and retreat to a place seven miles outside the city, only a river away from entering the city.

The Northern Army soon cut off another railway in Atlanta. Since then, all supplies in Atlanta have been cut off.Contrary to the Southern Army, the Northern Army continuously replenished its soldiers and supplies through the railway.

It's only a matter of time before the city of Atlanta breaks.

A place six miles away from Atlanta is called Taoshugou. At this moment, the Confederate Army was desperately resisting, and the continuous sound of guns and guns came, and the people in the city were panicked.

Carload after cartload of wounded soldiers were drawn into the city, and many died on the way.Residents along the road spontaneously rescued the wounded and transported them to the hospital.

The hospital has become a hell on earth. There are screams of pain everywhere. There is a serious shortage of manpower. Many soldiers can't even drink water.

The nurses headed by Mrs. Meade, Melanie, and Sullen will be very busy, but they still can't keep up with the speed of the wounded soldiers.

What is even more tormenting is that they all have relatives on the battlefield.

Mrs. Meade's son Phil, Sullen's husband Rhett, Melanie's father-in-law John, they all fought desperately on the battlefield.

What they are most afraid of is that their relatives will lie in front of them the next moment, and every time they rescue the wounded, it is torture to themselves.

The Siege of Atlanta began, with shells thrown into the city and exploding in the streets.

People hid in the cellar.

By the time the artillery fire stopped, it was already night.

Women, children, and the elderly all left here one after another.Some of them go to Macon, some go to the country.

Melanie's Aunt Petey had relatives in Macon, and she was going to take refuge there.Scarlett had a feud with that relative and chose to go back to Tara.

Petey, always timid, wanted Melanie to keep her company.

Of course Melanie didn't want to leave, but Pitty had to take care of her, and Su Lun also persuaded her to leave, so she had to go together

In the original book, Sherman was not a benevolent general. Those who stayed in Atlanta were all driven out of the city, and many died of illness due to the rain.

This was also the reason why Su Lun wanted to leave Atlanta, and why Melanie could not stay.

As for Scarlett and Aurora, Ellen had already written to let them take refuge in Tara.Ellen didn't know that the war was going to Tara, but out of affection for her relatives, she hoped that everyone could be reunited.

Su Lun couldn't leave. Steve, the black coachman, had fled long ago and abducted the black nanny.

Now Nelly took Aurora, Scarlett and the servant Prissy took Wade back to Tara together.

As a result, most of the members of the Guardianship were reduced. I heard that the Northern Army had begun to attack the last railway line, which was at Jones Robe near Tara.

Su Lun was lucky that Aurora and the others left early, otherwise they would have been intercepted by the Yankees now, and the Yankees were more cruel to children than women.

Facing the disparity in combat power, the southern army retreated across the board, and soon withdrew south again.This meant that they abandoned Atlanta altogether, and the Union Army soon entered the city.

Sherman was no gentleman, and he was brutal to the South and to me.Although it is not likely to massacre, but looting and burning is what he often does.

Now that the Southern Army is encircled by the Northern Army, if they want to retreat, they must open up a railway to escape.At this moment they are fighting fiercely, and the news has been sent back by the wounded soldiers.

Ambulances kept leaving the hospital. They needed to be evacuated further south, and the hospital gradually emptied.

Su Lun's heart was also empty, as if the cold wind in the winter night was blowing in.

Rhett, where is he?

They agreed that before the Confederates withdrew, he would return to the city and meet her on Peachtree Street outside the hospital.But at this moment he was nowhere to be seen.

She stood in the shadow on the corner and saw the people on Peachtree Street turning their backs.The granaries had been opened, and everyone was moving grain out, trying to get it out before the Yankees came in.

She saw Mrs. Meade staggering out and throwing herself in front of a cart, yelling "Phil, Phil, my boy," and she looked devastated.

Was Phil injured, or dead?

She felt cold all over. Could Rhett have died too, somewhere she didn't know?

If he died on the battlefield, he might be overlooked by those carrying the wounded, since the living always had priority.

No, no, the cold flooded towards her like a tide, and all kinds of terrifying scenes flashed before her eyes.

Maybe, he was covered in blood at this moment, lying silently among the corpses?Perhaps he was being bombed to pieces by the Yankees?Maybe, he was lying powerlessly on the ground at this moment, he still had a breath, but he couldn't move when he wanted to come back?

Su Lun raised his head dizzily, looking at the sky reddened by the gunfire.It was already dusk at this time, and the sky was dyed colorful by the setting sun and artillery fire. It looked beautiful, but there was a misery of death.

She couldn't just sit still, she made up her mind.

He ran back to the office, took out the gun in the drawer, and ran downstairs again.He untied the hidden carriage, got on the horse and headed for the station.

When she passed Five Point Street, she saw the church where they held their wedding, which was as dead as a beast at the moment, but the scene of swearing oaths with Rhett became clear.

His expression at that time looked so majestic, like a general about to go to the battlefield, his tone was so firm, the way he looked at her was like looking at the whole world.

When she thought of this, tears were suddenly blown out by the wind. It turned out that before she knew it, she had engraved him deeply in her heart.

She is a fool.

She fell in love with him from the moment she was willing to marry him.Saying that he is not suitable for Bai Yueguang is just an excuse.

Admit it, she loves him.

If it wasn't love, why did she ride off to battle?Even taskers, in the face of bullets and bullets, are mortals and will die.

Only love can make a person such a fool.

The horses quickly took her galloping past the headquarters to the end of Peachtree Street, which was the train station and also the battlefield.

The smoke from the shells was still filling the air, making the whole scene feel like a dream, a nightmare.

In this dream, the background is black and red, the color of blood.There are many broken limbs and broken arms on the ground, and the messy corpses are lying on the ground.

She was about to pounce on the corpse, but she stopped herself quickly.

If Rhett is dead, she can slowly find him.But if he is alive, she should find him as soon as possible.

At this time, there were several gunshots in the distance, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent station, like a death knell before leaving.

She wanted to get on the horse, but found that she didn't hold the rein, her hands were too slippery.

She looked down, only to realize that she was covered in sweat unknowingly.Rubbing his hands on the hem of the skirt, he continued to get on his horse and headed towards the small woods on the left.

It was getting closer, and when she reached the edge of the woods, she dismounted.

The forest is full of thorns and bushes, and the horse will not walk.Moreover, the sound of riding a horse is too loud. She doesn't know the situation now, so it's better to approach quietly.

At this time, the sunset is gradually approaching the horizon, and the temperature is not so hot.After a day of exposure, the woods wearily beg for rest.

Su Lun pushed aside the listless branches and approached the sound quietly.

Anxiety and calm, as if two parallel lines intertwined in her body.

Is it Rhett in front, if not Rhett, where should she go to find him?

If it was Rhett, she should help him.She had to calm down, otherwise her hand holding the gun would shake and she would miss the target.

Thanks to the memory of the previous world, she can use a gun and has a good hit rate.This gun was bought by her at a high price. It is the best Ramat gun at present. It has nine bullets in total, and she needs to save it.

After walking for about 20 meters, the turf and trees on the ground showed signs of breaking.Under a cedar tree, she also found bloodstains, which indicated that someone had been injured.

At this time, there were several gunshots from the front, which came from the left. Judging from the density, there may be a lot of people.

She listened carefully and found that the gunfire on the right was very sparse, no more than two people at most.Judging from the direction of the blood, the person on the right should have been injured.

Su Lun's heart sank, because Reid's gun was the same model as hers, and the sound was different from the Selda gun used by the Northern Army.

So, if it's Red on the right, is Red injured?

She pondered for a while, bent down, and outflanked to the left.

Behind a small slope on the right, two men in the red military uniforms of the militia were lying on their stomachs.

"Red, I can't do it anymore, let's go." Old John's face was like gold paper at the moment, which was a symptom of excessive blood loss.

"I'm afraid I can't leave now if I want to." Reid pressed the wound on John's abdomen while taking out the remaining ammunition with his other hand.

"It was me who killed you. If it wasn't for me, you would have returned to Atlanta long ago." John blamed himself while panting. He looked similar to Ashley, and his elegant face was covered with dust.

Reid counted the ammunition, and immediately scolded his mother.There were five Yankees on the opposite side, and they only had four bullets in total. Even if he hit [-]%, there would still be one Yankee who survived.

Unfortunately, the accuracy of guns at this time is limited, and he can only guarantee a hit rate of 80.00% at most.

He has never been as embarrassed as he is at this moment, nor has he been as desperate as he is at this moment.The promise to go back to see her may not come true.

He heard the footsteps of the Yankees coming closer, they had followed them like hounds for a long time.

He was on his way home when General Hood gave the order to retreat, and a little crook was waiting for him at the corner of Peachtree Street.

He was eager to return home, and when he took a shortcut to the edge of the forest, he saw a few gangsters from a distance.

The army had already retreated, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he hid in the woods, hoping to come out after they left.

Leaning behind the tree, he counted the footsteps of the Yankees in his heart, they gradually moved away, one meter, two meters...

Just when he thought the Yankees were going away, he heard a shout and then a shot.

At this time, the people who fought with the Yankees must be members of the Confederate Army, and they may even be members of the militia.What a ghost, that voice sounded familiar to him, he must know that person.

He had already planned to leave this unlucky ghost behind and leave on his own.Because he has to go, and the little crook will be very angry if he is late.

As for this unlucky ghost, it depends on his luck.

He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't move forward.The conscience that had left him a long time ago returned to his body at some point.

He mysteriously took a few steps in the opposite direction, and glanced at the place where the fire was exchanged.

It turned out to be John Wilkes, Ashley's father.Old John was his old friend for many years, and he met Su Lun at his family's picnic.

At this time, the Yankees had surrounded John and were about to kill him, so Rhett was forced to shoot.

John had hunted with him many times and had a tacit understanding. Seeing this, he took the opportunity to go into the woods and meet him at a distance of 50 meters.

It's just that John has been shot, has bled a lot, and is dying.

"John, I didn't expect that we would die together in the end." Reid said while reloading the bomb.Then he took a deep breath, stood up and fired in the direction of the Yankees.

He immediately squatted down again, and when he heard the sound of falling to the ground behind him, he knew that he had just hit.Then he followed suit and killed three more people.

What a wicked day, he hit every single shot, and the Yankees seemed to be waiting for him to shoot without moving.

Unfortunately, he looked at the blue military uniform two meters away, and a Yankee, who had already raised his gun.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed the last ray of sunset glow in the sky.It looked so charming, yet so far away, like his wife, that he would never see her again.

With endless regret in his heart, he wondered if the little liar would really remarry, even if he did, there was nothing he could do.

As the last twilight of sunset fell over the hills, there was a gunshot in the woods, like thunder in a still night, and then everything was still.
