Chapter 316: Meeting Li Deliang Again
Li Deliang called Luo Zhuo and asked him whether he wanted to live or die.
Luo Zhuo said, "Of course I want to live! Brother, do you have any ideas?"
"There is a way, it just depends on whether you dare to do it?" said Li Deliang.
"Brother, you say! We're almost dead anyway. If we can survive by fighting, I'll follow you!" Luo Zhuo said.
Luo Zhuo was the younger brother of one of Li Deliang's apprentices. His apprentice was killed by the Jianlu. Before his death, Luo Zhuo wanted to introduce his younger brother to Li Deliang as his apprentice. Unfortunately, Li Deliang was conscripted by the Jianlu at that time, so the relationship between master and apprentice was not established. Later, they met in the military camp where they were captured. Instead of becoming master and apprentice, they became brothers.
Li Deliang pointed at a squad leader like him not far away and said, "Let's take advantage of the chaos and kill Han San next to them. Then we can grab their weapons and food. Once our men are well fed, we can kill Luo Keduo and join the Ming army."
"Okay!" Luo Zhuo nodded in agreement. He had long disliked Han San, the traitor. It was Han San and his men Gao Fa who had caused several of his brothers to escape.
The Jianlu used more loyal Han people to look after other Han people, thus playing the role of mutual surveillance.
Han San was a particularly loyal and die-hard traitor who truly regarded the Jianlu as his master. Of course, he also followed the Jianlu in committing rape and looting, and was a man who did a lot of bad things.
The shouts and cries of killing grew closer; the Kenan army had begun its assault on the city. Ladders were set up, and the Kenan soldiers below were firing arrows and muskets. From time to time, grenades were thrown.
His brothers could only retreat back, leaning towards Han San. Han San was also afraid; they had never seen a real war. He also retreated back. Han San noticed that Li Deliang and his men were also approaching him, so he shouted, "Li Deliang, you only want to fight and not advance. Believe it or not, I will report you to the master! Hurry and get to the front!"
"Han! The Jianlu are almost finished, and you still want to be a slave. You are a bitch. Let me show you how I will deal with you! Brothers, kill them and take away the dry food in their hands! We also want to die with a full stomach before we die!" After Luo Zhuo finished speaking, he picked up a knife and chopped towards Han San.
Han San immediately swung his sword and slashed at Luo Zhuo, and the two sides immediately started fighting. Li Deliang took out an arrow and put it on the string, aiming at Han San. With a whoosh, the arrow went straight into Han San's neck. Han San covered his neck and tried to scream, but he couldn't make a sound. Blood gurgled through his fingers. Seeing that Han San was dead, they immediately became timid, and the others also expressed their willingness to follow Li Deliang.
Li Deliang called Luo Zhuo over and said, "Send someone to watch over the supervision team. When they come over, we'll pretend to fight a few times to show our respect. When they're not prepared, we'll take care of them all!"
"I understand!" Luo Zhuo nodded.
Seeing that the soldiers defending the city did not dare to show their heads, the Kenan army began to climb the ladders to reach the top of the city.
Seeing that the Kenan Army was getting closer and closer to them, Li Deliang was looking forward to the supervision team coming here soon for the first time.
Luo Keduo had already killed many retreating Han soldiers. Those soldiers who were forced by him to resist the Ming army risked their lives to recapture the lost city walls again and again.
After seeing this, Roquedo rushed to the next section of the city wall that was about to be lost.
Luo Keduo's supervisory team was divided into many small teams. This time, Luo Keduo was looking for death. When he saw that no one stepped forward to resist the section of the city wall in charge of Han San, he immediately became furious and thought to himself: No matter how Han San flatters me or how he tries to get me women, I will kill you today.
He angrily led his soldiers there, cursing in Manchu language that was incomprehensible.
Arriving at this section of the wall, Luo Keduo demanded, "What's going on? Can't you see the Ming army is coming up? Hurry up and throw stones down! Han San! Han San! You dog slave, where are you? Get over here!"
After he shouted, no one answered. The Han soldiers stood there like puppets, staring at Luo Keduo motionlessly.
Luo Keduo was furious and drew his sword to kill a few soldiers to show his authority. At this time, Luo Zhuo said, "Sir, Han San was shot and died! He is lying there!"
Luo Keduo followed the direction of Luo Zhuo's finger and saw Han San lying on the ground. At this moment, Li Deliang was hiding in a corner. He had already taken aim, waiting for Luo Keduo to show himself.
But there were too many people around Luo Keduo, obstructing his view and making it easy for his shot to miss. Luo Zhuo pointed at Han San's physical form and took two steps forward. His figure then emerged, and with a whoosh, an arrow shot out. Luo Keduo sensed something was wrong and leaned back. The arrow passed close to his ear, and Goshha, standing behind him, quickly stepped forward to protect Luo Keduo.
Seeing that he had failed, Li Deliang immediately shouted, "Rebellion! Kill the Tartars! Welcome the royal army!"
The Han army, whether Li Deliang's men or Han San's former men, had no choice. Even if they surrendered, the Jianzhou master would not believe them. Only by fighting might there be a chance of survival, so everyone immediately engaged in battle with the Jianlu soldiers.
The Eight Banners of the Jianlu had such poor physical fitness and combat effectiveness that they were like a tiger among a flock of sheep when faced with these Han troops who were not well fed and had no armor.
Over four hundred men were no match for the less than two hundred Jianlu Eight Bannermen. They suffered heavy casualties immediately, while Li Deliang stood not far away, shooting down the Jianlu Eight Bannermen. Every arrow struck the enemy in the face, but unfortunately, his quiver only held a dozen or so arrows. They were soon exhausted, so he threw away his bow and arrows, drew his sword, and charged forward with a shout.
Luo Zhuo and several other soldiers were besieging a Jianlu Eight Banners unit, but they were fully armored. As long as they missed their eyes, they were practically safe. Their swords weren't sharp, so the fight was difficult.
The Jianlu soldiers, however, were killing people everywhere, their swords drawing blood! Luo Zhuo was caught off guard and was hit in the arm by a Jianlu soldier. His left arm flew off, and he rolled on the ground in pain.
Yes, there's no scene here where someone can fight their way through a broken arm. There's no scene where someone can stand firm despite being riddled with arrows. Everyone is seriously wounded and practically lying on the ground. How many people can still fight after being stabbed? Maybe there are some, but not here!
Luo Keduo cursed, "You little bastard, how dare you shoot me? I'll kill you all! Kill them all!"
Of the four hundred, only two hundred remained, struggling to hold on. They were on the verge of collapse! At this moment, the Kenan Army finally arrived.
Kill! Howls came one after another from behind the Jianlu soldiers.
Luo Keduo was not stupid. This was not the time to continue chasing the Han army. He shouted, "Retreat!"
The Jianlu soldiers began to retreat to the city, and Li Deliang quickly shouted: "We are back! We are family!"
The people of the Kenan Army heard this and did not raise their swords to attack them, but surrounded them.
Seeing that the Kenan Army did not make things difficult for them, Li Deliang immediately ran to Luo Zhuo's side, tore off a piece of cloth from his body, and strangled Luo Zhuo's broken arm to stop the bleeding.
At this moment, a pair of feet wearing combat boots appeared in front of Li Deliang.
"How did you become a member of the Han Army Green Camp?"
