Chapter 881 Heavy Casualties
Chapter 881 Heavy Casualties
Lin Qiaomei shook her head: "If your voice had been a little lower, I'm afraid I would have died here."
Bemi stroked his throat with his hand.
"It was too late to do anything. I could only shout desperately. Now that I think about it, it was too dangerous. These pirates must be capable of much more than this."
Lin Qiaomei narrowed her eyes. "Alas, the boss is right. These pirates are not normal people. They will do anything to achieve their goals. The battles ahead will be difficult..."
"When has the general ever worried about fighting a war?"
Indeed, when Lin Qiaomei talks about charging into battle, she just feels excited and has no other emotions.
But now, I am worried like this.
She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of ruining her reputation in front of Lin Feng. She should be a female general who was victorious in every battle. She followed Lin Feng and did not hold him back at all.
"Pass on my orders. Tomorrow morning, divide the entire army into four teams of 5,000 men each. Each team will be responsible for a city gate. Charge in and leave no one alive."
Bemi also nodded in agreement.
Now there is no other way but to kill him.
Lin Qiaomei's order was conveyed to the four Wuwei generals, who each led 5,000 troops and prepared for the attack early.
Early the next morning, the soldiers of the engineering battalion cooked porridge.
The entire team consisted of more than 20,000 people. Each person drank two bowls of porridge, and then gathered back to the team.
He packed up his weapons and equipment and followed the team towards the distant Jinhao City.
The 20,000 people were divided into four teams, each choosing a city gate, and planned to launch a joint charge at 1:00 a.m.
Target: Jinhao City.
Mission, leave no creatures alive.
As soon as the hour of Mao arrived, the Zhenxi Army launched an attack. A large number of soldiers poured into the four city gates at the same time. There was no shouting, but they just nervously held their crossbows and walked quickly into the city gates.
The city of Jinhao was very quiet, with only the chaotic sounds of footsteps and horse hooves, which permeated every street and alley like a surging tide.
There was no one on the streets or on the city walls.
The generals of each team knew that there must be something strange in this city. How could two hundred riders disappear here silently and safely?
Twenty thousand people began to enter the houses in the city from all directions.
Finally, the first scream came from a narrow building in the city.
With the first scream, shouts began to come one after another from all directions.
There were screams, cries, and shouts...
In short, the fighting took place in alleys and narrow buildings.
Lin Qiaomei's injuries did not allow her to go to the battlefield in person, so she could only stay in the military tent in the barracks and command the battle remotely.
Battle reports were continuously sent into the account, which Bemi took and read aloud, allowing Lin Qiaomei to judge and analyze them and then make corresponding orders.
It was very calm at first, until a quarter after the morning when a battle report was delivered, and then Bemi shouted loudly.
"General, we've spotted the enemy and have engaged them."
"Where are they hiding?"
"In a narrow alley."
Lin Qiaomei nodded: "It's time to come out. Tell them to be ruthless and kill them for me!"
A moment later, a battle report was delivered to the military tent.
"General, these pirates are hiding in various houses and engaging in street fighting with us."
"How's the battle going?"
Bemi hesitated as he looked at the battle report in his hand.
"The situation isn't good. The pirates have devised many traps, and we've suffered heavy casualties."
Lin Qiaomei said doubtfully, "Street fighting? We won't suffer any loss."
As more battle reports came in, Lin Qiaomei discovered that her team was really suffering losses in street fighting.
The long-range attacks that he was good at were of no use at all in this city.
Instead, they were caught in a close combat with the pirates.
The pirates had already designed a battle plan, which was to lure the Zhenxi Army into the city, set up many traps in the narrow houses, and attack the Zhenxi Army soldiers by surprise.
It seemed as if the pirates were very good at this kind of fighting, from the shadows, from the corners of the house, even from the kang holes, from the beams, from the pigsty, from the well...
They were good at small combat techniques, fierce and agile, making the crossbows of the Zhenxi Army lose their sharpness in narrow areas.
Steel knives were also subject to certain restrictions, but the pirates' short knives played a very important role.
The pirates used every possible means, making it impossible for the Zhenxi Army to defend themselves, resulting in heavy casualties.
As time went on, the number of casualties of the Zhenxi Army increased.
Lin Qiaomei deduced from the battle reports that killing each pirate would often require the casualties of three Zhenxi Army soldiers.
Lin Qiaomei was shaking all over, heartbroken and in pain. She couldn't help but fall headfirst onto the couch and fainted.
Bemi rushed forward to provide treatment.
Their team had never fought such a cowardly battle before.
Seeing a large number of soldiers killed and wounded, he was unable to change anything.
Since they had already rushed into the city, the two sides engaged in battle in a dark and narrow place. They could not retreat and could only try their best to wipe out the other side's manpower.
The day passed quickly, and when it got dark, the city finally became quiet.
Many Zhenxi Army soldiers slowly walked out from the narrow alleys and doorways of houses, their faces full of fatigue and fear.
They passed by officials collecting statistics and reported out numbers, including the number of pirates killed and comrades who died.
One day, the city of Jinhaofu was captured by the Zhenxi Army, but at a huge cost.
No pirates escaped, they all died in the city.
This determination shocked the Zhenxi Army.
After detailed statistics, it was found that there were a total of 3,200 pirates lying in ambush in the city.
All of them were killed by the Zhenxi Army.
However, the Zhenxi Army suffered 3,130 deaths and 6,722 injuries.
This record really makes all the generals lose face.
Lin Qiaomei was still in a coma and had a high fever.
The team could no longer advance and could only temporarily station in Jinhao City and send battle reports to Jingxi Prefecture.
Because the journey was long and Lin Qiaomei was so injured that she couldn't withstand the bumpy ride, she could only send back a battle report for help.
Hu Jincai was the first to arrive at Jinhao City. After seeing the battle report, he was shocked.
He also didn't expect that the pirates were so ferocious and good at playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, making them very difficult to deal with.
At this time, Lin Feng had already boarded the Zhenxi No. 2 bus and was heading straight for Jingnan Prefecture.
Apart from anything else, Lin Qiaomei was seriously injured and had a high fever, and the wound was definitely infected.
Unfortunately, I can't make penicillin myself, I only have allicin, or I can use liquor and icing sugar. I don't know if it can kill the bacteria and save Lin Qiaomei's life.
Lin Feng didn't expect that the pirates could be so smart. They knew that the Zhenxi Army was good at charging into battle, but they chose to lure you into a street fight.
Assassination has been used more than once or twice.
In order to win, pirates will do anything.
Lin Feng got off the boat at the Jingnan Prefecture Pier, brought three hundred guards, and rode light horses straight to the Jinhao Prefecture City.
Jingnan Prefecture is 530 miles away from Jinhao Prefecture, which can be reached in two days by fast horse.
If you travel day and night, you can reach the destination in just one day.
