"I estimate that within two days, father will be able to solve the problem!"
"If it doesn't work out, my sister will take you down the mountain, occupy a small town, and seize the granary. You can still be strong for a few months."
After saying that, he stretched his neck and took a big sip.
For a moment, Li Jingmo was stunned, her pretty face quickly turned red, her beautiful eyes widened, staring straight at the two women in front of her.
After a long, long time, he finally made a hard "Gulu" sound and swallowed it.
"Is this... wine? Where... where did the wine come from?"
Lu Yingying on the side smiled and shook her head, stretched out her hand to look at Gong Ruoxue: "It's still her!"
"I discovered the jug of good wine I kept secretly with me! I must hand it over to my sister."
When Li Jingmo heard this, he raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly and looked at Nangong Ruoxue with a wonderful expression.
He said with poor words: "Xiao Xue'er... you are a damn girl, you dare to secretly hide fine wine, don't you know that alcohol is prohibited in the army?"
"Be careful sister, I'll spank your little ass!"
After saying that, he took another sip and smacked his lips: "Good wine, good wine...it's really good."
"Confiscated!"
"Uh...I..." Nangong Ruoxue shrank her head and looked at the wine bag with some reluctance.
He said aggrievedly: "Good sister... can you take a small sip..."
Li Jingmo waved his hand: "That won't work. There aren't many in the first place... uh... no... it's because alcohol is prohibited in the military!"
"I won't give it, I won't give it...! It's good if you don't get punished!"
"You!" Nangong Ruoxue immediately refused: "It's no use that I even roasted a rabbit leg for you, and you actually bullied me!"
"When I get back, I will tell Uncle Li and my husband that you bullied me and drank secretly!"
"Uh..." With these words, Li Jingmo instantly shuddered and his face turned sideways: "Ah ha ha ha..."
"No, no, no...if my husband finds out, I will be in trouble!"
"No, no, no... Xue'er, be good! Well... let me give you a sip, just a sip."
"Hmph...that's pretty much it!" Nangong Ruoxue raised her face proudly, reached out and grabbed it, and took a sip.
Lu Yingying on the side also reached out and took it: "I'll take a bite too...haha..."
The two of them took a sip each and drank more than half of a bag of wine.
"Hey...I..." Li Jingmo looked distressed and reached out to grab it.
"Isn't it over? Sister, I haven't..."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of explosions suddenly came from the position behind him, followed by a series of explosions.
"Boom boom boom..."
Li Jingmo shouted something bad, stretched out his hand and hugged the two women in his arms: "Enemy attack!"
"Get into the trenches, quickly!"
After saying that, he pulled the two of them and ran forward two steps, followed by Gulu, and rolled into the trench one after another.
"You two, go back quickly, the enemy is attacking again."
"Oh..." The two girls nodded obediently and were about to turn around and leave when Lu Yingying suddenly exclaimed: "That's wrong! Look!"
The two of them looked in the direction of her finger, and saw clouds of red smoke exploding from the place where the explosions occurred.
In just an instant, it filled the frontline position of the Marine Battalion.
The three of them were wondering when they heard a painful cough coming from the trench.
"Cough cough cough...cough cough cough...what the hell is this! I can't open my eyes! Cough cough cough..."
Seeing this emergency, Li Jingmo was about to step forward, but someone stumbled out from the depths of the trench.
The three women looked and saw that this man was the commander of the Marine Battalion.
I saw him rushing out of the trench with tears in his eyes and his face flushed. He took two deep breaths and then coughed violently.
Then he reluctantly opened his eyes and said in pain: "General, the enemy's shells are mixed with spicy powder."
"Brothers can't open their eyes and can't breathe! What should I do?"
"Despicable!" Li Jingmo cursed angrily and ordered to the general: "Order the troops to withdraw from the position step by step and organize a defensive front in the rear."
"Order the rear artillery to fire violently and try to delay the enemy's attack!"
"Yes!" The general agreed, took a deep breath again, turned his head and got into the smoke.
Li Jingmo turned around and ordered Nangong Ruoxue and Lu Yingying: "You two, leave quickly!"
"Go back and organize the logistics troops and lightly wounded people, organize a defense line, and coordinate our retreat. Go quickly...!"
"Okay!" The two women said in unison, turned around and ran towards the back.
In the trenches, the coughing was still violent, and the soldiers could only fire in the general direction based on their feelings.
Seeing this, Li Jingmo could only shout into the trench: "Butterbug! Blow the retreat horn...!"
"Everyone retreats one step at a time, and we will make further calculations later! Withdraw...!"
After saying that, he had no choice but to take out the pistol from his waist, find a better bunker, and shoot to cover himself.
"Boom boom boom..."
The artillery groups of both sides once again started the confrontation mode. However, the Marine Battalion was equipped with small and lightweight artillery.
The range, quantity, and power were all inferior to those of the Nan Zhao army who had been prepared in advance.
Especially at this time, the Nan Zhao army used a cunning trick and stuffed a large amount of spicy powder into the shells.
The artillery positions immediately behind the front were also overwhelmed and had no choice but to retreat.
The entire battle situation suddenly became serious.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Accompanied by bursts of coughing, the Southern Navy began to retreat sparsely toward the rear.
Although Li Jingmo had quickly counterattacked, he was still caught off guard by such a shameless man.
In an instant, the organization of the troops was in disarray, and the losses became huge.
By the time the troops withdrew to the second line of defense, nearly half of the troops had been lost.
The loss of materials was even more serious, especially the ammunition. Except for what was carried on the body, almost all was lost.
At this time, Li Jingmo also received a shot in his left arm, and Lu Yingying was bandaging her worriedly.
"Damn it! It's so despicable!" Li Jingmo couldn't help but cursed angrily after listening to the reports of several generals.
But he knew in his heart that without ammunition, the rifle was just a short spear and could only engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Others can say that it was a hand-to-hand fight against an army like the Nan Zhao Army that was already equipped with some firecrackers.
Naturally, it is a big loss.
Moreover, with the ammunition reserves at this time, it is not even possible to rush down the mountain and occupy a small town as mentioned just now.
Thinking of this, Li Jingmo gritted his teeth, feeling determined.
An An thought to himself, instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it would be better to rush down while there is still ammunition.
Maybe there is a chance of survival. Even if they all die in battle, it is better than being rounded up and beaten to death.
Thinking of this, he immediately turned his head and said to Lu Yingying and Nangong Ruoxue: "You two, listen!"
"We are now at the point of life and death."
"In a moment, I will send a small team of elites to escort you from the cliff at the back of the mountain to the beach."
"You can wish yourselves good luck from now on!"
"No!" When the two women heard this, they immediately shook their heads in unison: "If you want to go together, we will never live in vain!"
"Isn't it just death? There's a scar as big as a bowl on the head. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Does it mean that Sister Jingmo looks down on the two of us? Doesn't she want to advance and retreat with us and die together?"
"Be bold! This is an order!"
Li Jingmo frowned and said angrily: "You two are still young, what do you know about military affairs?"
"Let you two go, of course there is a reason to let you go. If you two stay here, you will only become a burden to me."
However, such remarks could not deceive the ice-snow and smart Nangong Ruoxue and Lu Yingying.
The two women were still unwilling to be outdone. No matter what, they just refused to listen.
Seeing this, Li Jingmo could only shake his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Silly girls!"
"We have run out of ammunition and food now. I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies. I should be with the soldiers. I must not live in an ignoble way."
"There is no need for you two to make fearless sacrifices here."
After a pause, he said softly: "Have you forgotten that my husband is still waiting for you?"
"If all three of us die in battle, how sad will he be? How sad?"
After speaking, he turned to a general and sternly ordered: "Take a hundred elite troops and escort the two girls to leave first!"
"After you get off the cliff, you can find a way to escape on your own!"
"The only thing is, if something goes wrong along the way, you can just kill yourself!"
"Yes! Don't worry, General."
The general agreed and saluted Li Jingmo with a serious expression.
Then he waved his hand.
She said to Nangong Ruoxue and Lu Yingying: "You two girls! I'm offended!"
Several guards rushed out from behind, picked up two little girls on the left and right, and tried to take them away by force.
