The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 72: Final Song

Chapter 72: Final Song
Yiwu, Jinhua Prefecture.

The setting sun is like blood.

"This is where General Wang, the one you always talk about, first recruited his soldiers, right?"

Luo Ming was wearing a bright red battle robe.

Under the sunset.

It's like a warrior covered in blood, but he doesn't know whether the blood is his own or the enemy's.

behind him.

More than a dozen people knelt on one knee with tears in their eyes.

Zhao Yong, Wu Mengzhen, and even Liu Tong.

Hearing his name, Liu Tong smiled through his tears, "My Lord, General Wang recruited soldiers here."

Luo Ming looked carefully down the mountain.

Want to see what's different.

At first, Luo Ming had heard of Wang Xin's name, who was indeed a powerful warrior. However, his surname was Wang. Luo Ming knew very well that it was a consensus in the court to control the military with civil power. The suppression of nobles had started from the time of the retired emperor, and even the emperor supported it.

If his surname was not Wang, but he was a general of ordinary origin, I would definitely use him.

pity.

If you can't use it yourself, you have to throw it away.

later.

The more he learned, especially when he recruited Liu Tong, he watched Liu Tong recruit soldiers with his own eyes, watched how Liu Tong reiterated the military discipline of the Wang Family Army, and heard the stories of the people in Nantong.

The story of Wang Jiajun did not disappear with Wang Xin's departure.

On the contrary, the Japanese pirates became more and more serious.

The story of Wang Jiajun became more popular.

I am not as good as him.

"He who is good at fighting has no great achievements."

Luo Ming sighed.

No one understood.

Are you talking about Wang Xin?

But Wang Xin's ability in fighting was indeed great, and many people knew about it, especially in Jiangnan, where storytellers in docks, taverns, markets and other places would tell a few stories about Wang's army.

Only Liu Tong understood.

Liu Tong didn’t understand it before, but he had experienced three campaigns to suppress Japanese pirates.

The first big failure.

The second time following the general brought him glory.

Even this is the swan song.

Liu Tong could no longer hold back his tears. The strong man in the past knelt on one knee and looked up at the general. Behind Luo Ming was a thousand-foot cliff, and above his head was the setting sun.

"Just do it."

"tomorrow."

"I will lead the troops in person. Everyone, obey my orders and do not move without authorization."

Luo Ming sighed.

His expression regained its firmness and he became the decisive and ruthless general again.

Give an order.

There was a lot of crying.

"Master General, let me follow you."

"Please ask the mayor."

Zhao Yong cried like a baby.

Luo Ming ignored Zhao Yong and looked at Wu Mengzhen.

Wu Mengzhen rubbed his eyes and choked up, saying, "I will obey the orders of the general."

"it is good."

Luo Ming smiled with relief.

It has reached the point today.

Only one dead ear.

"The country has nurtured scholars for a hundred years. Now, our country is in trouble, the people are humiliated, and the Japanese pirates are rampant and extremely brutal. As the local commander, I have no choice but to repay them with my own death."

Luo Ming looked at his men who were following him one by one.

I feel reluctant.

Also full of apologies.

Some people have to stay.

Some people have to follow me.

Whatever.

When I was young, I always thought that I could change the world. I was always so confident. I recall the time when I went to Beijing, I was the center of attention, full of energy and determination.

To bear the reputation of a deserting general.

Being insulted by the world.

To make a determined comeback, confidence can save everything.

And then to today.

Due to the emperor's urging and the local people's difficulties, he could no longer retreat.

That's it.

"The flames of war rage, swords flash and blood flies. Those who serve their country loyally may die first, but their souls live on in their battle hide."

Luo Ming looked at the sunset with regret.

There were no reinforcements.

There is no food.

All responsibility lies with Luo Ming.

Everyone in the world is impeaching.

But the Japanese pirates were too cruel, and the censor who impeached them was not wrong.

Every word is like blood.

Luo Ming couldn't think of any other way.

We can only fight to the death.

Leading 3,000 soldiers personally, Luo Ming set out from Jinhua and headed straight for Taizhou.

Many people know that it is death.

The children of the common people still followed Luo Ming.

Liu Tong was sent to Yangzhou to borrow grain to supply the army, Zhao Yong was sent to Jinhua City to garrison the rear of the army, and Wu Mengzhen was sent out to sea to guard against reinforcements from the Japanese pirates.
In fact, everyone knows it.

This is the spark left by the general.

And the various armies.

No one responded to the general. Taizhou Taizhou.

It has become a hell.

Luo Ming knew that the chips in this chess game were set for him, but he had no way out, so he stepped in.

Japanese pirates had occupied the city before, but it was only a small area. Later, facing the reinforcements from the Great Zhou, the Japanese pirates quickly retreated, leaving behind an empty city. Now the entire Taizhou has fallen.

There are Japanese pirates everywhere.

No one knew how many Japanese pirates had come, they only knew that all the officers and soldiers were killed.

Luo Ming personally led the officers and soldiers into Xianju.

The Japanese pirates were caught off guard, but they drove their young and strong men to attack the officers and soldiers, and then fought in close combat. There were many warriors among the Japanese pirates, who were short in stature but extremely ferocious. It was precisely because of their extreme ferocity that they were brutal.

Close combat is the strong point of the Japanese pirates.

Luo Ming brought his personal guards and personally fought on the battlefield, only then did he defeat the Japanese pirates.

Looking at the fleeing Japanese pirates, Luo Ming knew that he should not chase them. He did not have enough troops and did not know when reinforcements would arrive. He also did not have enough food and grass. However, everyone saw the tragic situation in Xianju with their own eyes and was speechless.

People fight wars for a purpose.

The Japanese pirates have no humanity.

Words are hard to describe.

The news of Luo Ming's attack on Taizhou was quickly sent back to the rear.

Linhai City.

The leader was wearing a hat, and dozens of people were kneeling around him. Some were wearing hats like him, and some had half-moon hairstyles.

He was less than thirty years old.

"Mendorou."

"Hi."

"Jiro."

"Hi."

"Four assistants."

"Hi."

The man read out a name and someone below responded.

The man pointed to the map held up by the two men.

"Destroy him here."

Kuancang Mountain.

Everyone looked excited.

"Master Wang Zhi, if we can successfully kill Luo Ming this time, your reputation will be known to everyone, and you will be the world's number one military god."

The men under him boasted.

The man didn't care.

It was unexpected that Luo Ming dared to come with 3,000 troops, but it was also good. He should get rid of this man as soon as possible and go back to work. Otherwise, if he continued like this, it would be difficult for him to control his subordinates.

Everyone is so evil, who would listen?

I don't know if it's a coincidence.

Luo Ming brought the remaining troops and also stopped at Kuancang Mountain.

Teams of Japanese pirates slowly surrounded them.

There isn't much skill involved in field combat.

Wang Zhi stood on the top of the hill on horseback.

capable.

Three thousand against ten thousand, and annihilated ten thousand Japanese pirates.

Wang Zhi sneered.

The fighting lasted from morning to dusk.

Fight until the last man standing.

No one surrendered.
