C289 A slim hope (2/2)

This was a rule, this was the rule that Xiao Letian had set down. This was not forced down using one's identity, this was personally brought out by Xiao Letian when the new army was first created.

Thinking back to that time when they were fighting the Tyrant Blood Battle, did not run one step less. Any type of leader would have an army. This was the soul of the army. This was the legacy.

At this time, the sky had already brightened. Numerous terrified faces could be seen through the windows of the French houses on both sides of the road. They stared at the earth dragons on the road in astonishment as they tried to guess the identities of these people. However, no one dared to step out of the house. There were even some people who sneaked out of the back window and hid in the fields.

”Speed up, speed up, cough cough …” ”If I remember correctly, we passed by a small stone bridge before coming here. According to the distance, we should be arriving soon …”

”We've found it. There's a stone bridge and a small stream ahead of us. We're not far from the border now …” ”Long live!”

The crowd immediately cheered, everyone's speed increased, and in a short period of time, vanguard unit had already seen the stone bridge and heard the sound of flowing water.

”I finally saved him …” ”Everyone, listen up. One person can only drink one cup. You absolutely can't drink it all up. This is an order …” Sima Yun knew that if she drank a lot of cold water after a forced march, at most, she would end up with a chronic disease, and that wasn't something she could do carelessly.

One by one, the soldiers of the new army stepped into the ice-cold stream, scooped up a handful of stream water to moisturize their throats and continued to rush forward. The cool stream water gave them strength, once again increasing their marching speed.

Sima Yun stood on the stone bridge and shouted towards the people. ”Quick, quick, quick... Do not linger, accelerate the march... This' who ',' who ', why isn't there an end to it? ”Do you want to die …” At this moment, there was a sudden clap of thunder coming from the east. Countless warriors were stunned, looking up at the sky, there was not even a trace of thunder.

”What's going on? Thunder on a sunny day... ”Fuck, could it be?” Almost at the same time, all of the brothers present guessed a frightening possibility. It wasn't thunder, it was the explosion of an explosive. Could it be that the lord had met with an accident? An enemy ambush?

”F * ck, Charge …” 'F * ck it, don't charge at me with this life … ' Prime Minister is in danger! ”

The 150 over youngsters had all gone crazy. Their legs were running like wind and fire wheels, and the veins on their necks were popping. The forced march had completely turned into a charge that did not care for their lives.

Everyone only had one thought in their minds: accelerate, speed, speed … Lord is in danger, Lord needs our support.

Many years later, the farmers of Francesco Conte would often talk about this hasty march. In their entire lives, they had never seen anyone running as hard as this. They all rushed back to the Athens like they were possessed by Fedyptis, eager to send the news of the victory of Hot Springs Pass back to the Athens.

”They are a group of fearsome Chinese people. When they ran away, they were like a group of raging buffaloes, and more like a group of injured wild wolves. Even today, when I thought back to the murderous aura they emitted, I couldn't help but shiver... ”Remember, child, don't make an enemy out of such an army, it's too frightening …”

The loud sound that Xiao Hexin and the others heard was the explosion of the three piles of explosives before a melee. Right now, Xiao Letian's journey to escape had already reached its most critical moment.

Xiao Hexin and the others didn't know what was happening at the border post, nor did Xiao Letian know where the two groups of brothers were either.

”Mr. Xiao, I must remind you that there are only five minutes left before the half an hour that you mentioned … Please make your decision immediately! ” The battle was so tragic that even the Prussian could not watch it anymore. Jonas grabbed his pocket watch and shouted at Xiao Letian.

”Enough, I've had enough of you. You are a madman! You don't care about your soldiers. Such a brave young man can't be sacrificed for nothing! This is a crime... ”

”Enough! ”You shut up …” Xiao Letian had already lost control of his emotions. He grabbed Jonas by the collar and roared, ”What do you know? Do you know how the camaraderie among these soldiers is formed? Do you know the history of our army? ”

”More than 150 brothers are trapped in France. If I abandon them, they won't have a second option apart from Jade Fragrance … ”They won't surrender, they will only choose to perish together. I understand their hearts.”

Xiao Letian said as tears welled up in his eyes, ”I firmly believe that... I believe that they will be able to make it here. I have this intuition, and I have this confidence as well! ”Your father's army is invincible. They were born from good fortune. They haven't finished what they should do. They won't die, they definitely won't die …”

Xiao Letian released Jonas who was filled with sorrow, and gazed towards the distant battlefield while muttering to himself, ”My brothers, don't disappoint me, and don't disappoint our nation. There are still so many people waiting for us to save them. How can you all die here? ”Remember, your burial site will always be on the continent that gave birth to you and raised you …”

Jonas was about to collapse, he really wanted to give Xiao Letian a ruthless punch and wake him up. However, he was unable to do anything, and the grief and sorrow leaking out from Xiao Letian's body made him want to cry.

Just at this time, the Prussian army Sentinel hidden on the mountain slope suddenly stood up, opening its mouth and making loud noises, its emotions exceptionally tense.

”What's wrong? What was he talking about? ”Tell me …” Xiao Letian roared.

Jonas's face had already turned white. His lips trembled as he said, ”Reinforcements … The French reinforcements have arrived! Another Cavalry Battalion had arrived! They were going to fight soon! We have no hope! ”
