Twenty-five nights of war

Nanjing was the second capital of the Ming Dynasty, also known as Yingtian Prefecture, so it was crisscrossed with streets and connected by all directions.

The official road from Yangzhou to Nanjing was paved with rammed earth and lime. It was flat and spacious when walking. Lin Yu turned on the light, stepped on the accelerator, and advanced with all his strength at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

The four accompanying soldiers saw through the periscope that the trees on both sides of the post road were constantly retreating. They couldn't help but feel excited, and they started talking and talking.

"This armored car is so amazing, it runs faster than a horse!"

"No, I feel uncomfortable riding a horse and riding a bumpy horse. Sitting in an iron armored car is like walking on flat ground, which is more comfortable than sitting in a sedan!"

"Can you see the road at night when riding a horse? Look at how bright the lights in front of the armored car are, and the road surface is like the daytime."

Lin Yu was happy when he heard this. He held the steering wheel and whispered loudly: "As long as you follow me loyally, there will be good things for you to see in the future!"

A baby soldier who was fourteen or fifteen years old, had a childish spirit, was thin and had a big head, clasped his fists and said, "Li Wei, a villain, has no father or mother. He is full and his whole family is not hungry. In the future, he will hand over his life to General Lin."

Lin Yu turned his head and looked at the boy, and was amused by his disproportionate figure: "Oh...what is your name?"

Before the young man could answer, several other soldiers rushed to cheer and said, "His name is Li Da Nao, the whole army is famous. No one in the military camp is as big as his... Haha!"

The boy looked aggrieved and reached out to take off the military cap on his head, revealing a round and bright bald head: "My name is Li Wei. My hometown is Changshan County, Jinan Prefecture. When I was born, I was famine in my hometown. I have eaten too much Guanyin soil since I was a child, so my head was too big and I didn't have hair. Later, my parents starved to death, so I came to Nanjing to join my relatives. The army I signed up for in the previous year."

Lin Yu looked sympathetic: "In this chaotic world, natural disasters and man-made disasters, human life is as cheap as grass, and your parents can survive even if they die. I am missing a few personal soldiers, and you and I are fellow villagers. From now on, you will stay by my side and run errands!"

Li Wei almost cried when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed a few times: "Thank you for your support. Some people say that I am very lucky in my head, but I didn't expect it to come true today. The villain is willing to make a cow and horse for the master in the future."

Lin Yu controlled the tank with both hands, and was inconvenient to support him. He greeted: "Li Wei, get up. I asked you to be a personal soldier, not a servant. I will call you my official position in the future, and I am not allowed to call you the master."

"In my heart, you are both the general and the master!" Li Wei shook his shiny big head and looked stubborn.

"Li Da's head is so lucky. He will be awesome to be with the general in the future. Don't forget to support a few brothers in the future!" The other soldiers looked envious.

Li Wei turned his head and looked at the big black man behind him, begging Lin Yu hesitantly: "Since the master lacks personal soldiers, let Brother Daniu run errands with you, right? He is strong and honest. He is really thanks to his care since he joined the army, and he really... he doesn't want to separate from him."

The soldier called "Big Bull Brother" by Li Wei was nearly 1.9 meters tall, about 30 years old, with a national face, big eyes, dark skin, and a simple face.

After hearing Li Wei's words, Daniu hurriedly refused: "I can't do it. I'm a rough man and can't read it. It's okay to let me fight on the battlefield. I can't do errands and tricks!"

After listening to the conversation between Li Wei and Zhang Daniu, the other two soldiers had a sudden inspiration and knelt down and asked: "The villain is also willing to follow the general and serve him in front of the horse!"

Lin Yu thought carefully that he had his own army in the future and did need a few loyal personal soldiers around him. It was obviously not enough for Li Wei, a child soldier.

This big bull is burly and honest, so he should be a reliable person. The other two soldiers look sophisticated and probably are a soldier, so he is not suitable for being a personal soldier.

"I only need two personal soldiers for the time being. Zhang Daniu, you and Li Wei will follow me to run errands next to me. Let's talk about others later!"

Zhang Daniu was not too excited when he heard this, but just agreed honestly: "Oh... I understand!"

The other two soldiers were very regretful and said reluctantly: "Since that's the case, the villain will wait for the general when there is a shortage of people around him."

The tank was driving very fast, and Li Wei, who had been observing outside with a periscope on the road, suddenly shouted: "Not good... someone is fighting in front of him!"

Lin Yu immediately stopped the tank, walked to the periscope and looked in the direction Li Wei said. He saw that the torches in the southeast were indeed bright and crowded, and the gunshots could be heard vaguely.

"Hiss... the Qing army has retreated to Huai'an. Where did the team come from?"

Lin Yu lifted the cabin door and got out of the cockpit. The sound of fighting became clear, but he saw torches shaking in the southeast direction, people shouted and horses neighed, and the sound of fighting was heard for several miles.

"Go and spy on what happened immediately and where the team is fighting?" Lin Yu put his hands on his hips, looking surprised.

"I'll go!"

Li Wei rushed to jump off the tank and ran faster than the rabbit. "Everyone said that I am smart and I am the best at inquiring about things."

After a meal, Li Wei ran back like a flash. Before the man climbed onto the tank, he said breathlessly: "Master... the villain has found out clearly. It seems that a defeated soldier under Zhang Tianlu retreated from Yangzhou and did not follow the Qing army north, but ran to Nanjing to rob him."

It has been an hour and a half since I left Yangzhou. I guess I have walked sixty or seventy kilometers south, but I have not entered the territory of Yingtian Prefecture.

As the fourth-rank general of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Yu naturally could not stand by and watch when he encountered defeated troops, not to mention that he also had a BoSS-class iron armored chariot in his hand.

Although there were only two shells left and the coaxial machine gun was removed, after all, it had a huge tonnage weighing 60 tons, and crushing alone could kill these defeated soldiers.

Lin Yu turned the Bereta pistol in his hand. This was his favorite move when he served in the army in his previous life. He looked handsome and cool, very cool!

"How many rebels were robbed? Is it a village or a town that was robbed? Is there any resistance?"

Li Wei took the kettle handed by Zhang Daniu and poured a few mouthfuls of it. He moistened his throat that was almost smoking and said panting: "There are about 300 rebels, and the village was robbed, which seemed to be called Gujiazhuang. There were almost four or five hundred strong men resisting..."

The other two soldiers who were facing a great enemy breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this: "Since there are more strong men in the village than rebels, it seems we don't have to worry about it. After all, we only have five people, and it's a drop in the bucket!"

Li Wei took off his military cap, reached out to touch his bald head, and retorted: "Although there are many strong men, the weapons are only red tassel guns, spears and even hoes. The rebels under Zhang Tianlu were equipped with muskets, and the strong men had no less than a hundred dead..."

Li Wei was about to cry as he said: "Master, save them. These villagers are very pitiful. If they die, many orphans will appear in this world."

Lin Yu nodded: "As the fourth-rank general of the Ming Dynasty, I will naturally have no choice but to eliminate the rebels!"

Li Wei slapped his head, as if he remembered something, and then became more and more handsome: "By the way, there are two powerful figures among these strong men, a handsome young man in white clothes, using a sword in his left hand and a dart in his right hand..."

As he spoke, he gestured with joy and danced: "This young man is so powerful. He is flying with a long sword in his left hand, and dozens of officers and soldiers cannot get close to him. The money dart in his right hand, piu, piu, piu... is flying outward, which is even more powerful than a musket!"

"Oh... this is a talent."

Lin Yu was moved when he heard this. The most important thing for him to achieve hegemony in the future is talent, followed by weapons. If this young man in white is really like Li Wei said, why not take it as used?

"And, there's more!"

Li Wei's mouth flew, "In addition to this young man in white, there is also a girl wearing a redwood. She uses a scimitar in her hand, and her martial arts are not as good as the young man in white. She also carries a bow on her back, picking it up from time to time to shoot the enemy's eyes, and seven or eight rebels have been shot into one-eyed dragons."

"I didn't expect that there would be such a strange man in this wilderness. Since we met him, we will come forward to help them fight back this defeated soldier."

Lin Yu called Li Wei to get into the car, and several people got into the cockpit one after another, turned the steering wheel and rushed to the southeast where the torch shone.
