Chapter 669: Sea of ​​Fire! Sea of ​​Fire

Lu Yuguang stood in front of the hall, and there was already pungent smoke coming from the back of the hall, and the feeling of heat was approaching his back.

He looked serious, and the sound of cannons, gunshots, screams and shouts heard in his ears no longer had any impact. His eyes showed a luster of awareness and determination under the illumination of the beacon. Although the defense line was rapidly collapsing and the fires in various parts of the compound were becoming more and more intense, he felt that this battle was the most proud battle he had ever fought in his life. Because this battle was enough to prove the bloodiness of a soldier!

Only cowards are afraid of death! Death in the battlefield is the final honor of our soldiers! I, Lu Yuguang, can be defeated, but cannot surrender!

A roar came from outside the gate, and several soldiers staggered back in. They carried two wounded men covered in blood to the side of the porch to settle it. Looking out through the gate, they saw that the street opposite was full of Guangdong soldiers, and the war had already approached the courtyard from the street.

A company commander ran over. When he saw Lu Yuguang standing in front of the hall, he wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve and shouted hoarsely: "Young Marshal, the enemy has occupied all the streets and alleys on the periphery, brothers can't defend it anymore!"

Lu Yuguang's face was calm, and sighed slightly, saying, "It's hard for brothers. I didn't expect that among the tens of thousands of troops in Guangxi, there were only more than a hundred people who were truly bloody in the end. However, I feel very relieved. At least you have shown the style of my Gui army's man. Even if the result is already destined, our Gui army will not be ashamed!"

The company commander said excitedly: "Young Marshal, brothers will definitely defend the whole thing and will never surrender. It's just... it's just you, Young Marshal..."

Lu Yuguang smiled indifferently and said, "I am your young commander one day, and I will never abandon you and ignore you. You should put life and death outside the limits and defend your dignity to the death. I, Lu Yuguang, are you a person who is greedy for life and fear of death."

The company commander gritted his teeth and bleeding from his lips. He said solemnly: "Young Marshal, I will go first, even under the underworld, I will open the way for the Young Marshal's Protective Master!"

After he finished speaking, he saluted Lu Yuguang with a solemn military salute and resolutely turned over and rushed out of the door.

"Brothers, our Gui army is not a coward, and those with a good face are rushing towards me..." A rough roar came from outside the gate, followed by seven or eight soldiers responding to the shouts. The shouts gradually faded away and were eventually drowned under the sound of gunfire.

Lu Yuguang's face was unmoved, but he sighed in his heart: He really had a long face... He turned around calmly and walked into the hall.

Someone behind him was shouting: "Young Marshal, don't go in, fire, there is fire!"

Lu Yuguang could no longer hear it, or he didn't want to listen anymore. The fire in the backyard had already burned to the hall, and the screens, seats, door curtains and other decorations connecting the corridor to the back door of the hall all raised the flames. Even standing in the front door, he could feel the burning and painful sensation that stimulated the skin. However, his pace did not stop, and he walked forward step by step, allowing the sparks to slap on himself, allowing the pain to penetrate the skin into the bone marrow, and allowing the forcing heat to melt himself.

Several Gui soldiers chased to the entrance of the hall and shouted heart-wrenchingly at their young marshal's back: "Young marshal, come out quickly!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

"Young Marshal, stop leaving, come out quickly!"

With a loud "boom", the pillars in the entrance hall could not withstand the barbecue of flames. After cracking, they collapsed and isolated the gate from the hall. The loyal guards tried to rush into the hall to rescue the young marshal. It was impossible now. They could only lie outside the door and watch the flames swallowing the young marshal's figure madly. However, the young marshal's figure stood for a long time, even if it turned into a ball of fire, they did not fall down. They wanted to cry, but the tears in their eyes had just overflowed and were soon dried by the fire that was blowing.

Lu Yuguang felt his life was rapidly dying. In a trance, he couldn't help but shout in his heart: Father, Father, Yuguang has never lost your face, never... The "boom" sounded again, as if the earth was shaking. The ceiling of the entire hall was like a burning meteorite, falling down in pieces, completely burying the stubborn figure.

"Brothers, fight with the Guangdong man and avenge the Grand Marshal and the Young Marshal!"

"Never surrender, I will still follow the young marshal under the underworld!"

"Kill, those who surrender are cowards, and they will not die well!"

The battle lasted until 1:00 noon, and the entire military compound was smoked by flames for three hours, but the Gui soldiers guarding the compound continued to fight. It was not until the Guangdong army approached, until the flames burned through the backs, and until the outermost courtyard walls also caught fire, the gunshots gradually disappeared.

According to reports from several platoon leaders of the Third Battalion, the Second Training Regiment, after twelve o'clock, the Guangdong army could no longer advance. Even if the fire in the military compound stood outside, he could feel the heat of flames. The choking smoke rolled in. Any normal person could only choose to retreat in the face of this situation. However, the Gui army in the compound was still shouting, the gunshots continued, and the figures flashed everywhere after the thick smoke.

It was not until 1:30 that the Guangdong army began to put out the fire. On one hand, soldiers personally participated in the transportation of water and digging sand, and on the other hand, mobilized the nearby people to help. The military and civilians worked together for several hours, and finally controlled the fire before dark. When the firefighting team went deep into the courtyard, they discovered a tragic scene. Many burnt corpses were lying near the porch at several exits of the courtyard, and the counting amount was more than 200.

The Guangdong soldiers were stunned. They knew very well that the previous battle was limited to the outer streets of the military compound, and the attack on the military compound was almost minimal. The fire had blocked the attacking troops outside. In other words, these Gui soldiers who fell near the gate were not killed by the Guangdong military guns, but were burned to death.

The life was not considered a hero when he was shot by a bullet, but when the fire approached step by step, the flames melted into the body bit by bit, and the severe pain, fear and suffocation tortured the remaining will. In the face of such cruel death, no one chose to rush out to seek pleasure. This is the real warrior!

At night, Wei Rutong personally came to the military compound. No one dared to move the burnt corpses, and remained the same. He walked from the front door to the side door with a heavy face, and then went from the side door to the back door, recording the scenes of the tragic scene without missing a glance. The scorched smoke and stench in the air left a deep awakening in his mind. He really did not expect that there were such dead soldiers in the Gui army.

"Remember it truthfully, and there is no need to exaggerate our achievements. Although they lost this battle, we did not win either." Wei Rutong ordered the adjutant who was following him.

"Sir, this is..." Although the adjutant was quite moved, he still didn't understand.

"All of them are dead, let us record this fact, leave a good reputation for these martyrs, and leave a praise for future generations! Lu Yuguang is also a man of iron blood!" Wei Rutong said with a sigh.

"I understand." The adjutant was deeply moved and agreed immediately.

"In addition, send someone to restrain these corpses and find a Feng Shui place outside the city to properly bury them." Wei Rucong said again.

"yes."
