After a period of chaos, the Xishan army suffered increasing losses, but it was still unable to compete with the Lanfang army, which had no numerical advantage.
The soldiers of the Lanfang Army held up their bayonets and stabbed, stabbed, and stabbed non-stop, with a posture that would be eaten all over the world. A mere three hundred people killed the Xishan Army with corpses everywhere.
In order to force all the soldiers to fight hand-to-hand with Lanfang's army, the supervising team also cut off their heads with a knife, killing the Xishan soldiers in the middle until they completely collapsed, and even the officers were not spared.
However, the number of Lanfang soldiers was small after all. When more and more Xishan soldiers chose to rush towards them, the pressure they faced began to increase, and casualties occurred simultaneously.
Some Lanfang Army soldiers were hugged tightly by Xishan soldiers, and a Xishan soldier behind them slashed them with a knife.
Some Lanfang Army soldiers stabbed a Xishan soldier to death, but were kicked over by another Xishan soldier there. Before they could get up, he pounced on them and bit them.
Even Nie Fangliang, as the commander, was under tremendous pressure. He was surrounded by two Xishan soldiers. One of them was provoked, and the other actually raised his crossbow to shoot him. If one of his subordinates hadn't jumped over to block the arrow, Nie Fangliang really couldn't continue to command.
After stabbing the Xishan soldier to death, Nie Fangliang quickly checked the injury of the subordinate who blocked his arrow.
However, the arrow shot into his chest and he was dead.
Nie Fangliang suddenly felt extremely painful, roared, rushed towards an officer of the Xishan Army with red eyes and a bayonet, stabbed him through the body with a lunge, and then went on a killing spree, overturning three Xishan soldiers in a row. .
But after all, they were few in number. After the supervisory team of the Xishan Army also joined in the hand-to-hand combat, the Lanfang Army gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Nie Fangliang was about to take a deep breath and launch a desperate assault. However, a burst of gunfire rang out from nowhere. Then Nie Fangliang saw that the Xishan soldiers who were gradually surrounding them stopped attacking and became chaotic again. stand up.
Zhao Xuening arrived with reinforcements.
At the critical moment of the hand-to-hand battle, Zhao Xuening arrived with reinforcements in a forced march.
The strong physique developed through years of hard training and adequate nutrition came in handy at this moment. After the forced march, the Lanfang Army reinforcements, who were already at the end of their strength, still had the determination and final strength to fight the last battle.
Zhao Xuening took the lead and led his soldiers to attack the Xishan Army. They descended the mountain like a fierce tiger and were out of control.
The Xishan Army did not expect that there was an army here to attack them, and their flanks collapsed instantly. The Lanfang Army, led by Zhao Xuening, directly destroyed their artillery position. Zhao Xuening even knocked the panicked Ruan Qi to the ground with a rifle butt. Suddenly, a thrust killed him.
Nie Fangliang was overjoyed to see the reinforcements arriving. The Lanfang soldiers under his command rose up and responded to Zhao Xuening. The two armies attacked front and back, and the Xishan Army, which had lost its command, completely collapsed.
Subsequently, the Xishan soldiers in the other two directions were also defeated one after another, and Ruan Qi's 5,000-strong army was wiped out. Lanfang army, under the leadership of Zhao Xuening, seized a large amount of supplies and rescued more than 10,000 people captured by Ruan Qi. Chinese civilians living there.
Taken together, Lanfang's army rescued more than 18,000 Chinese civilians in this battle, and seized a large amount of supplies, which was a fruitful harvest.
However, the price paid was not small. One hundred and seventy-one soldiers died in battle alone. Nie Fangliang's troops tried their best to protect civilians. When Zhao Xuening saw Nie Fangliang, he was already lying on the ground sleeping. On fire.
too tired.
He and his soldiers were too tired.
Zhao Xuening did not disturb his sleep and ordered the entire army to rest on the spot. As the president of the Lanfang Republic, he condoled and comforted the more than 18,000 rescued Chinese civilians, and explained to them what was happening currently. .
Zhao Xuening found some people who were relatively prestigious and virtuous among the civilians, summoned them to discuss matters together, and made it clear that he would take them to Lanfang with him.
What makes Zhao Xuening happy is that when he mentioned the names of Lan Fang and himself, these Chinese civilians said that they had heard of them, saying that these two names were so popular that they were often mentioned in recent years.
There are also many people who know that Lanfang is a country founded on Borneo, and some well-informed people know about the battle Lanfang fought with the Netherlands before, and admire Lanfang's many military victories. .
Although there is no widespread national consciousness in China these days, overseas, a Chinese has achieved such great achievements and became the president. Although I don't know what a president is, it sounds like a very big official.
In this way, it is easy for Zhao Xuening to gain some fame in the Chinese circle, just like Zheng Xin who once founded a business and became the king.
They were very grateful to Zhao Xuening for helping them survive. Several people, even old men with gray beards, were willing to kneel and kowtow to Zhao Xuening to thank him for their survival.
A considerable number of people agreed with Zhao Xuening's proposal to take them to live in Lanfang.
With our home in such dilapidated condition and so dangerous, going to Lanfang is already the best choice.
But there are still some old people who obviously have feelings for this land. Their ancestors have lived here for several generations. It is not easy to build a foundation through all kinds of difficulties. The graves of several generations are also here, which makes them really reluctant to leave.
Zhao Xuening also patiently advised them.
"This is a battlefield now. Although it is safe for a while, it is not safe for a long time. I have eliminated many Xishan bandits here. The Xishan bandits will definitely not give up and will send people. But I can't stay here for a long time. This time I The attack brought only 3,000 men.
If I leave and you stay here, who will protect you? Nguyen Phuc Anh? He can't protect himself, he can run faster than a rabbit, how can we still count on him? The other armed forces have basically been defeated. What you are left with is just fish on the chopping board.
Although Lanfang is a bit far away, it is safe. I have founded Lanfang Foundation for several years. There are good cities there and a lot of land. If you want land for farming, I will allocate land to you and give you houses and farm tools. Wouldn't it be nice to help you settle down? "
Under Zhao Xuening's persuasion, these virtuous and prestigious people generally agreed with Zhao Xuening's views. They knew that staying would mean death, and that the only way to survive was to follow Zhao Xuening. Although they were reluctant to give up, there was no other way.
Zhao Xuening then said that the Xishan bandits had killed so many compatriots, and he would never give up. This time, he was not prepared, but one day, he would destroy the Xishan Kingdom and avenge the dead compatriots.
People were very moved and agreed to help Zhao Xuening persuade other civilians.
The persuasion of these prestigious and virtuous people was very effective. Soon, everyone knew about going to Lanfang and knew that Zhao Xuening would allocate land to them.
There are many people who believe this.
Because they saw Zhao Xuening's troops desperately protecting them, and the fact that such a thing that could only be done by a Bodhisattva was done was enough to prove that Zhao Xuening was a person with a Bodhisattva heart.
You're right to follow him.
Later, Nie Fangliang and his men woke up one after another. After eating a little something, everyone set out on the road together and slowly headed towards the nursing camp. In the early morning of the next day, the large group of people arrived at the nursing camp.
Zhao Xuening arranged for people to return to the camp in advance to inform them of the matter. Chu Sui and Shimada Shinbei, who were left behind, tried their best to organize more people to cook porridge. When the large army arrived, everyone could get a bowl of steaming porridge.
However, because the care camp is not large enough, many people can only sit on the open ground in the camp and drink porridge.
Fortunately, the climate here is relatively hot, so we are not afraid of the cold. God has been kind to us in the past few days, and it has not rained. However, we cannot delay things. The food brought with the army is not too much. There are more and more people now, so we must deliver it as soon as possible. transport.
It would be impossible to send so many people on one boat, so Zhao Xuening worked with the entire team to calculate how many people could be sent at once, how many people per boat, and how much food to prepare. Anyway, every calculation must be done properly. There can be no mistakes.
Because of the heavy workload, even soldiers who could do arithmetic in the army were recruited by Zhao Xuening to help. However, what Zhao Xuening did not expect was that there was another person who gave him a lot of help at this difficult time.
Rice young bamboo.
Not only is this girl extremely delicate, she also has the ability to make quick calculations.
She sat in front of a table, with an abacus in one hand and a pen and paper in the other. Here she was fiddling with the abacus quickly, and there she quickly wrote down her calculation results on paper and handed them to the person doing the work.
That hand speed...
Zhao Xuening felt that her hands playing with the abacus were so fast that there were afterimages, and the clicking sound kept making. Her eyes turned left and right for a while, and her whole body was upright and serious.
Is this human speed?
One-third of the calculation tasks of the entire work team were handled by her with high speed, high accuracy and almost no errors. The entire Lanfang team was impressed by this beautiful girl.
Humanoid computer!
marvelous! Lanfang needs such talents!
Zhao Xuening was very happy.
It was not convenient for Zhao Xuening to disturb her during working hours, but during lunch break, Zhao Xuening went to find her with his rice bowl in hand.
Mi Youzhu seems to have a lot of enthusiasm for work. Everyone is taking a lunch break at noon. She is still doing calculations while eating with a bowl, stopping from time to time to write a few numbers.
Zhao Xuening stood next to her holding a bowl and smiled.
"Everyone has gone to rest, why don't you go to rest?"
Mi Youzhu only realized that Zhao Xuening was coming when he heard Zhao Xuening's voice. He was startled and blushed. He quickly stood up from the chair and took a few steps back, lowering his head.
"President... you are here... why didn't you say anything?"
"Am I scary?"
Zhao Xuening smelled his own scent.
There is no smell of blood.
He had already taken a shower and changed his clothes, and the clothes soaked in the enemy's blood had been washed.
Mi Youzhu quickly shook his head after hearing this.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just...just..."
She lowered her head and couldn't speak clearly.
Zhao Xuening smiled helplessly.
"Okay, okay, don't be just, I don't blame you, come here, sit down, eat well, eat when you eat, rest when you rest, don't be anxious, haste makes waste, what's the old saying? Grind. The sword never misses the woodcutter.”
Mi Youzhu picked up the rice bowl and quietly looked at Zhao Xuening.
"You know a lot, I have never heard of this..."
"What does this mean? You are really powerful. I just saw that you have been calculating non-stop, and your hands are almost left with afterimages. Who did you learn this skill from?"
"Huh? Have you been looking at me?"
"Can't you?"
"………………"
Mi Youzhu lowered his head and shook his head again.
"No, it's okay..."
"Oh... well, who did you learn your arithmetic skills from?"
"...Daddy."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"No, it's okay..."
Mi Youzhu put down the bowl and chopsticks again, and said slowly: "Our family is in the rice business. Although it was very big before, it was not that big at the beginning. When I was very young, my father's business was not very successful. It's not big, and I can't afford anyone to help, so I have to help from my own family.
My father and two brothers did the hard work, and my mother and I were responsible for calculating accounts. My mother was very good at calculating accounts. She taught me how to calculate accounts, and I learned it. Later, I could calculate accounts very quickly, even faster than my mother. My father was very happy and said that in the future You want me to be the family's chief accountant and in charge of the family's finances..."
Mi Youzhu reached out and wiped his eyes, but said nothing.
Zhao Xuening sighed, walked forward, and patted Mi Youzhu on the shoulder.
"I remember your revenge. Sooner or later, I will definitely help you avenge it."
As he spoke, Zhao Xuening looked around the entire barracks, looked at the lost survivors, and took a deep breath.
"Not just you, I have remembered the blood feud of everyone here. Blood revenge must be avenged with blood. Blood debt must be repaid with blood. Ruan Wenyue, I will never let him go!"
Mi Youzhu raised his head and looked at the anger on Zhao Xuening's face, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
