Chapter 104: Ai Nengqi's carelessness led to the death of his soldiers on the battlefield
"Captain, there are no other enemies on this treasure ship except the ones we just killed."
Just a moment later, Cao Yongxiang, who was responsible for cleaning every part of the treasure ship, including every cabin, quickly came to Li Dingguo and reported to him.
"It's fine if you don't."
Li Dingguo was still tense, but finally he relaxed.
He thought for a moment and said to Cao Yongxiang, "Take a few team members off the boat and bring all the horses of our team from the temporary camp to this big dock!"
"Next, we may have to ride on war horses to chase and kill the enemy."
At this time, he had already heard dense shouting and killing sounds suddenly coming from outside not far from the big dock.
As expected, Bai Wenxuan and his group had collided head-on with the core members of the Wang family who had taken advantage of the chaos to escape from Wangjiazhuang Fort, and a fierce battle began.
"Tang Guangqiang, take the remaining team members to the treasure ship nearby and see if Ai Nengqi and the others have finished the battle?"
He then said to Tang Guangqiang, who came to his side with a happy look on his face, "If not, go and help them and kill the remaining enemies as soon as possible."
"If it's delayed too long, and something unexpected happens, it will be very bad."
The war situation has always been complex and changeable. Before it is completely over, no one can guarantee whether other accidents will occur.
Of course, the two treasure ships that had been obtained had to be well taken care of. The mission was not successfully completed until the naval commander Ma Yuanli sent people to take over the treasure ships.
"Oh, I know."
"Captain, don't worry, we will take people to handle the tasks separately."
As soon as Li Dingguo finished speaking, Cao Yongxiang and Tang Guangqiang quickly responded.
The two of them divided the dozen or so free team members into two groups, and each took them off the boat quickly.
Li Dingguo stood alone on the deck, holding the side of the ship, looking towards the fierce battlefield not far from the pier.
It is now very dark and all one can see are some figures running and swaying, and there are faint sounds of swords and guns clashing.
The specific battle situation was impossible to see clearly because the distance was at least more than two miles.
On the treasure ship next door, after Tang Guangqiang led his men over for a while, the sound of fighting had completely subsided.
I believe that Ai Nengqi, who was responsible for capturing the other treasure ship, encountered at least one powerful enemy, who was probably also a practitioner of the third level of martial arts.
Otherwise, with the killing style of Ai Nengqi, this battle maniac, plus his strong fighting ability, the speed of clearing out the remaining enemies would not be slower than Li Dingguo.
Unfortunately, the two treasure ships were docked on both sides of the bluestone pier, which was quite far away.
In the dim night, it is difficult to see the specific situation of the battle over there.
Li Dingguo did not dare to leave the treasure ship, for fear that the enemy would sneak in quietly and cause unnecessary accidents.
While he was waiting quietly, a while passed. Then Tang Guangqiang and his team members walked down from the treasure ship on the other side of the pier and trotted onto the treasure ship where Li Dingguo was.
"Boss, the Ai Nengqi team over there also encountered two martial arts third-level practitioners on another treasure ship."
"One of them is at the third late stage of martial arts, and the other is at the third early stage of martial arts."
Tang Guangqiang's face was not looking good, and he said to Li Dingguo, "Ai Nengqi was careless and was ambushed by one of them, killing a young warrior from our Youth Camp!"
"Fortunately, Ai Nengqi reacted in time and with the help of the military killing formation, he was able to counter the opponent's counterattack."
"Until our fresh troops joined the battle, we quickly surrounded and killed all the enemies with our superior numbers and finally won the battle."
"Hey……"
He let out a long sigh and said slowly, "What a pity, that team member shouldn't have died."
"This is mainly because Ai Nengqi did not have enough combat experience and his vigilance was not raised to the highest level, which allowed the other party to suddenly appear and launch a sneak attack, resulting in the death of the young warrior."
Although he knew that this kind of thing would happen to their group of young soldiers sooner or later, he did not expect that this day would come so soon.
I don’t know what the current situation of the orphans under Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier is like?
After seeing the body of the orphan boy who died tragically, Tang Guangqiang felt something was wrong.
Maybe there were also casualties among the soldiers in the Youth Camp of Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier.
"Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven!"
After hearing this, Li Dingguo was silent for a moment, then he comforted Tang Guangqiang and said, "On the battlefield, no one can guarantee that they will not be killed by the enemy."
"The death of soldiers in our Youth Camp will be a common occurrence in the future. There is no point in thinking too much about it."
"If we want to reduce the occurrence of such incidents as much as possible, we must find ways to make ourselves stronger as quickly as possible. We must also learn how to march and fight, and train our young soldiers into a truly elite force!"
"They are the kind of elite soldiers who can't be defeated, can't be dragged down, and will never be afraid of any battle!"
"Only in this way can we defeat or kill all the enemies we encounter, preserve ourselves, and survive better!"
To be honest, Li Dingguo felt very bad when he heard that some soldiers in the Youth Camp had been killed in battle.
But he is not an ordinary teenager after all, he has mature thoughts.
Even the most elite and powerful army can never avoid casualties among its soldiers.
"Yeah, that's right." After listening to Li Dingguo's advice, Tang Guangqiang's complexion had improved a little. He was now somewhat idle, so he said, "I'll go to Cao Yongxiang to see if he has walked out of the grassland with our horses."
He is a person who cannot sit still. Worries come and go quickly. In the blink of an eye, he seems as if nothing has happened.
After saying something to Li Dingguo, he ran down the escalator of the treasure ship and trotted away in the direction of the camping site where he had come tonight.
"Huang Zhanglong, you take these members of our team and be responsible for closely guarding the treasure ship under our feet."
After Tang Guangqiang left, Li Dingguo thought for a moment, and then said to the talented young man Huang Zhanglong in front of him, "Remember, don't get off the ship to participate in any battles. Everything should be focused on protecting the treasure ship!"
"I'll go downstairs to see if I can find some dried meat or something to make two bowls of minced meat soup to feed the two puppies."
"They haven't eaten tonight, so they must be a little hungry."
"On this treasure ship, use the tinder to light all the lanterns hanging on the side of the ship. This will also help remind our other soldiers that the treasure ship has been obtained and calm their minds."
Previously in the camping site by the river, because the two puppies were rather special, Li Dingguo naturally would not bring them out and let everyone know.
They had been staying in the backpack on the big black horse and had not had dinner yet.
Now that he had some free time, Li Dingguo took advantage of the situation and decided to prepare food for the two puppies so that he could feed them when Cao Yongxiang brought them here.
After instructing Huang Zhanglong and the others, Li Dingguo took a lantern hanging on the side of the ship with his left hand, lit it, and strode towards the entrance of the treasure ship's cabin with it.
This big treasure ship used to have so many people living on it, so there was no shortage of all kinds of daily necessities.
If the Wang family were not stupid, they would have transported a large amount of wealth and supplies to the two treasure ships before today so that they could evacuate at any time and be prepared for both situations.
Li Dingguo quickly found what he wanted, and soon he prepared two large bowls of monster meat soup, and even added some spiritual rice into it.
When he returned to the deck with the meat porridge, the treasure ship was already brightly lit.
The same thing happened to the ship captured by the nearby Enengqi team. Everyone lit up all the lanterns hanging around the side of the ship.
At this time, with the sound of horse hooves, Li Dingguo hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out that Cao Yongxiang and Tang Guangqiang had driven the horses of the entire youth camp to arrive.
Soon, they brought all the horses, including the spirit beasts and war horses, to the big dock.
Tang Guangqiang untied the backpack containing the two puppies from Li Dingguo's big black horse, hurriedly boarded the treasure ship, and came to Li Dingguo.
"Boss, these two puppies must be very hungry. They keep whining non-stop..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw two bowls of meat porridge in Li Dingguo's hands. He immediately put the basket on the ground with great joy and said, "Boss, I didn't expect that you had already prepared their food. This is just right."
However, he didn't dare to reach into the backpack to take the puppies out, for fear of being bitten by them.
Now these two puppies only recognize Li Dingguo as their master and ignore any outsiders.
If Tang Guangqiang wants to get close to them, he will probably need to spend some time with them before he can gain their recognition.
It's not just Tang Guangqiang who is like this, but also Cao Yongxiang and Xiao Douya and the others who will feed them in the future.
This requires a lot of time to gain the approval of the two spirit beast cubs so that you don't have to worry about being bitten by them.
After a while, Li Dingguo fed the two puppy dogs and put them back into the backpack.
After the two little guys had eaten and drunk their fill, they continued to sleep soundly and finally quieted down.
He instructed Tang Guangqiang, who was watching with great interest, to put the backpack back on the back of his big black horse and hang it up. Then he stood up and walked to the side of the boat, looking towards the road connecting the big pier to Tianjiazhuang.
The battlefield where Bai Wenxuan's team had encountered the enemy and a fierce fight had originally taken place has now completely calmed down.
Now on that battlefield, there was not even a living person standing.
There were many corpses lying on the ground, scattered all over the place, at least dozens of them.
Because it was night time and the distance was quite far, it was impossible to tell whether there were more enemies or more rebel soldiers among the corpses.
These enemies who broke out from Wangjiazhuang Fort and fled towards the big wharf were composed of core members of the Wang family and elite servants and guards.
Their combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of Bai Wenxuan's team of old camp soldiers.
Otherwise, the battle wouldn't have lasted so long.
Even after the teams of Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi completed the task of capturing the two treasure ships, the battle on their side was still going on.
It is conceivable how fierce the battle was at that time, and both sides should have been evenly matched.
Now that the battle is over, Li Dingguo has not seen the soldiers from Bai Wenxuan's team.
It is estimated that at the end of the battle just now, some enemies ran away when they saw the situation was not good, and Bai Wenxuan and his men would of course reluctantly launch a pursuit.
Before receiving the latest military orders, the two youth camp teams led by Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi had to stay here and could not leave without permission.
Otherwise, it would be a violation of military orders and the consequences would be very serious.
Even though the mission has ended, they can now stay at the big dock or treasure ship and wait for the latest orders.
