    Jueluo struggled to pull out his saber from the body of a rebel soldier. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He quickly used his saber to prop himself up on the ground to avoid falling.  Jueluo felt his heart beating rapidly and his vision went dark. He knew this was a sign that his physical strength was about to be exhausted. He took a few deep breaths, regained a little strength, and then staggered towards the two rebels.  The soldiers surrounded the defenders and rushed forward.  The two defenders were leaning against a wall, waving their rifles with bayonets in their hands, and relying on the length of the weapons in their hands, they resisted five rebel soldiers wielding sabers.  Although the rebel soldiers had several times the numerical advantage, they could not defeat them for a while.  When Jueluo was still five or six meters away, a Mongolian soldier saw his figure. He turned around and raised his sword to rush over. Jueluo shot him and knocked him to the ground. The two behind him rushed up.  Jueluo raised his pistol and was about to shoot again, but heard a crisp sound, but no bullets were fired. It turned out that the bullets had been used up, and the two rebels were also stunned.  Jueluo was so anxious that he threw his pistol at one of them's head. Taking advantage of the opponent's dodge, he slashed the opponent's neck with a knife, almost cutting half of the opponent's neck open.  Morrow was afraid that the remaining man would seize the opportunity to attack from a flank. After he succeeded with the knife, he moved to the side and tried to draw the knife. However, he didn't expect that he had used all his strength to slash the knife. The blade had already embedded into the opponent's neck bone. He  At this time, he was close to exhaustion. Instead of pulling out the knife with all his strength, his arm was carried by the fallen body of the man who had been stabbed, causing him to fall to the ground.  At this time, Jueluo felt despair and closed his eyes to die. However, after a while, he did not feel the severe pain of being hit by the saber. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the rebel had run away.  In surprise, he only heard the footsteps next to him. When he looked back, it was the two guards walking over. It turned out that the opponent before the two of them met was attracted by Jueluo's surprise attack and took the opportunity to stab his opponent.  , in the end, when the rebel saw this, he didn't even bother to kill Jueluo, and escaped first.  Jueluo struggled a bit, but his feet were weak and he couldn't stand up. He hurriedly said: "Hurry up and help me!" He stood up with the help of his men.  Jueluo retrieved his pistol, loaded the bullets, gathered a few soldiers, and limped the attacking rebels out of the captain's mansion. It was already dinner time, and he looked at the last few soldiers around him.  The ten scarred and exhausted soldiers knew in their hearts that their fate had been decided. As long as the rebels launched another attack, the Captain's Mansion would fall into the hands of the enemy.  "Stand up, you little bastards, stand up and charge forward!" On the rebel position, the Mongolian army officer waved the command knife in his hand, punching and kicking the defeated rebel leaders, but no matter who  No matter how he threatened and cursed, the defeated soldiers remained the same and wanted the supervising team to come up. However, he saw the cold eyes of the defeated soldiers and hesitated again. After all, compared to the number of defeated soldiers, the supervising team was much smaller. If  If he pushes too hard, he will be the only one unlucky at that time.  "Where is my team, where are the goshawks on the grassland?" He yelled in a hoarse voice: "How do you ask me to explain to the Khan? How to explain to Major Sharif? Take the fortress, or let them let me go.  On the pointed stakes!" The defeated leaders remained silent and said nothing.  "You bastards, what did you say when you were drunk with horse wine just now? Everyone said that today they would destroy the fortress and capture the Han officials before the hooves of the Khan's horse, but what about now? What about now?  ?" A small leader raised his head: "You are no match for the Han Guan'er. If a Mongolian is riding a horse, one can defeat five, but if the Mongolians are on the ground, five can only defeat one!" "Yes, five!  I can only hit one!" Everyone agreed in unison.  "Damn it!" The Mongolian official grabbed his hair in despair: "What should I do? That Sharif has already said that if we can't take the fortress today and capture the Han official, I will be on the stakes!" "  That's your business!" The little leader retorted: "Even if your whole family is put on the stakes, it's your own business, but don't force us to go into battle again, don't let the people of Changshengtian die in vain! We should dig trenches!  , Build earthen walls, set up cannons, and trap the Han people to death. " "That's right, we are going to suffer a disaster!" " Just like this, they were talking and shouting, and their voices were as loud as thunder.  The Mongolian official staggered and sat down in the hay.  The little bosses all stood beside him with their heads tilted up, and no one said a word.  Finally he raised his head and shouted: "Horse hooves!" At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance. Everyone looked over there and saw a rider galloping towards him.  Pulling up the reins five or six meters away from them, the knight on the horse shouted loudly: "The Great Khan has given an order. The army will go south tomorrow morning, targeting Eren!" "What about here?" "Go south and attack Eren!"  The messenger repeatedHe ordered, turned his horse's head and galloped away, leaving only a trace of riding dust behind.  "The Tatars have withdrawn!" Looking at the retreating rebels outside, the castle was filled with joy. Both Jueluo and the ordinary soldiers were ecstatic. The feeling of escaping after thinking they were going to die was indescribable.  Expressive.  "Reinforcements from the pass must have arrived!" "No, the ones from the pass are not that fast, it should be Erren's!" The guards talked excitedly, and Jueluo, who was the first to wake up from the ecstasy, hurriedly urged the remaining soldiers  While rescuing the wounded and taking turns to rest, I couldn't help thinking: "Have reinforcements really arrived?" But the actual situation was far less optimistic than the defenders imagined. At this time, the army led by Gao Tingyu had already traveled seven days.  The Shun army was marching very quickly, but it still had at least ten days before they reached Kulun.  Chen Zaixing was riding on a camel. Although it was already more than April, the gusts of wind blowing on his face were still like a knife cutting him. But what made him most uncomfortable was the unfamiliar bumpy feeling on the camel's back.  He was dizzy, and there was a feeling of annoyance in his chest, as if he wanted to vomit it out.  "Ugh, vomit!" There was a sound of vomiting from the side. When Chen Zaixing looked at it, it turned out to be Gillins. It seemed that this person was worse than him. He had already vomited on the camel's back. Chen Zaixing couldn't help but look at it.  I felt my throat and eyes felt itchy and my chest was rolling, so I quickly turned my head away.  "Stop, stop!" Chen Zaixing shouted loudly. The camel driver didn't know why, so he hurriedly drove the camel down the official road and stopped. Chen Zaixing rolled off the camel's back, and felt the heart that had been hanging in his throat until his feet were on the ground.  After landing on the ground, he shouted: "Bring water!" Chen Zaixing had just drank two sips of water when he saw a vigorous knight coming down the official road. He jumped off his horse three or four meters away, crossed his hands and saluted: "General  Li Bin meets Mr. Chen!" Chen Zaixing handed the water bag to the camel driver and looked up and down. He saw that he was a strong man in his early thirties, but it was not Xue Ruowang who had followed him along the way. He casually asked: "It turns out to be Mr. Li.  , but I don¡¯t know where Ruowang is?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to be a subordinate!¡± Li Bin said with a smile: ¡°Captain Xue has other missions. The commander-in-chief has sent a subordinate to serve you. If you have any orders, please speak up!  "Is there another mission?" Chen Zaixing was slightly stunned, and he asked casually, but Li Bin only said that there were strict rules in the army, and he didn't know. Chen Zaixing was slightly angry, thinking that although he had little qualifications in front of Gao Tingyu,  After all, he was also supervising the army on behalf of the imperial court, so how could he even hide it from the serving officer?  He was angry in his heart and said harshly: "Since it is a military secret, I won't ask any questions. It's just past noon, why don't we see the army stopping to rest and eat?" Li Bin could already feel the strong tone in Chen Zaixing's tone.  He was displeased and sweating slightly on his face. He was afraid that he would give this young and successful man some excuse, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, you don't know something. The commander-in-chief has given orders for the whole army to move forward every day."  It only takes two meals in the morning and evening to reach Eren in three days!¡± ¡°So fast?¡± Chen Zaixing couldn¡¯t help being surprised when he heard this.  The army has the most mules and horses and is the most well-trained among the Dashun army, but it would be too hasty to reach Eren from Zhangjiakou within ten days. If we rush to Eren in this way, the soldiers will be exhausted, so how can we fight?  "Exactly!" Li Bin looked around, moved closer and lowered his voice and said, "Sir, Xue Ruowang was sent by the Marshal this time as a secret mission. He went east last night. He once spent five or six years guarding the border in Hailar.  I am most familiar with the road to Kulun!" At this point, he smiled slightly: "My lord, you are an angel of the court. No one can hide the secrets of the army from you! The commander-in-chief is not like this on weekdays.  It's just two people leading the army. Not to mention you, even the late emperor has suffered a lot. Please bear with me and be patient!" "Hailaer? Cullen?" Hearing this, Chen Zaixing's heart changed.  I understand most of it, and my impression of Li Bin has improved a lot. After all, I can't reach out to hit the smiling person!  Then he stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder: "Master Li, the commander-in-chief naturally makes the final decision on matters in the army. I'm just filling in circles. Being able to handle the court's errands properly is the first priority!" "My lord, I taught you a lesson.  Yes!" Li Bin was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's really a blessing for me to be so understanding!" "Chen, Chen!" At this time, there was a strange shout, and Chen Zaixing and Li Bin looked back.  It was Gillings who came over. Seeing that he looked quite embarrassed, Chen Zaixing made a gesture to Li Bin: "I'm going to deal with this foreign devil for a while, Mr. Li can do whatever he wants!" "Yes!" "Chen, you can give me another one.  Animals? "JiLin Si complained loudly: "Carriage, horse, mule, anything is fine, as long as it is not a camel, my stomach will be jolted out by it!" Chen Zaixing looked at Gillings' pale face after vomiting, and suddenly felt  The bumps he had just endured were not so bad anymore. He tried his best to pretend to care about the other person: "Mr. Gillings, are you feeling uncomfortable? I'm sorry, I thought you British people are all over the world and have adapted to all traffic.  It¡¯s a tool. Besides, didn¡¯t you ride on an elephant in Myanmar? Isn¡¯t that thing similar to a camel?¡±
