"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

The drums were still beating suddenly.

After the three-way drum, if you don't arrive at the assembly, you can be killed.

"Damn, there's no end to it. Was it easy for Lao Tzu to just run back? Even if you want Lao Tzu to die, you have to let Lao Tzu take a breath! Ma Wu, who was sitting on the ground at this moment, couldn't help but curse when he heard the disgusting snare drum.

Although this short and rhythmic drum beat was annoying to Ma Wu, the military order was like a mountain, and the drum beat was an order.

If Ma Wu dares to choose to ignore it, then what awaits him will be the beheading knife behind his neck.

Since he was able to run back from the second bombardment of the anti-thief, Ma Wu felt that all his good luck in the past 20 years had been used here. I even feel that if I didn't have the blessing of my ancestors for eighteen generations, I would have become those incomplete corpses on the ground now.

Can you dodge this third attack? Ma Wu didn't know either.

After the first attack, except for Zheng Rong, his teammates either died or were separated. And after the second attack, Zheng Rong was also gone, and it is estimated that he was also more than lucky.

The world is unpredictable, and the war is unforgiving.

Who would have thought that Ma Wu, who was still high-spirited and war-minded at the beginning, would become so depressed now?

Humans are social animals.

Therefore, most people naturally like to be around familiar people or things, which will make them feel safe.

And that's exactly what Ma Wu is.

Without the familiar Zheng Rong's follow, Ma Wu, who was already alone at this time, seemed a little lonely.

……

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

The second assembly snare drum has been beaten, and the drum beat has changed sharply to slow. There is still a moment or so before the drum beat of the third comprehension.

Ma Wu, who did not have any strength to resist, had no choice but to choose to go with the flow. Otherwise, all that awaits him is a disciplined machete. Don't dodge the spears and artillery of the anti-thieves, but in the end you die at the hands of your own people.

The great armies marched together, each with their own place. And a lone soldier like Ma Wu, who was routed and scattered, could only stay with those soldiers who were also rout and scattered.

The waiting time was always long and boring, and Ma Wu, who had nothing to do, looked around in order to familiarize himself with his surroundings.

I saw the people around Ma Wu, scattered and scattered, and seemed to be able to find people they were familiar with. The only lonely person who is still the same as Ma Wu is a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old not far on the right.

The young man is about 1.7 meters tall and has a decent appearance. At this moment, he also looked around with an uneasy expression, as if he wanted to find someone he was familiar with.

It is said that things gather by like, and people are divided by groups.

It's always easier for two people in the same situation to stay together and chat than others. This can better crowd out loneliness, and at the same time can gain a sense of existence and security.

"Hey, this little brother, where are you from? What do you call it? At this time, I saw Ma Wu squeezing towards the young man's side, greeting and asking.

"Are you talking to me?" Looking at the person in front of him who he didn't know at all, the young man couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Yes, my name is Ma Wu, a flood soldier in Pei County, Xuzhou. In the first two rounds of attacking Ma'anshan, my teammates died and scattered, and now I am the only one left. I just looked around and it seems like you're just one here? Ma Wu explained softly, hoping to dispel the young man's doubts about his vigilance.

"Oh, so we're all the same. My name is Hong Zhen, and I am a flood soldier in Hongze County, Huai'an. It's similar to yours, and I don't know if they're dead or alive, but I can't see them anymore. Hong Zhen replied.

"Huai'an, Huai'an seems to be quite far from here, how did you come here? And I remember that Huai'an seems to have been occupied by the anti-thieves. Ma Wu asked after searching for relevant information in his mind.

"It's a long way off. Of course, when the thieves were attacking Huai'an, I followed our Sun Baizong to fight and escape, and I came here after escaping. Hong Zhen replied.

"Now that the thieves have occupied Huai'an, you have fled with the army. Won't it be difficult for your family anyway? Ma Wu asked with some curiosity.

"I really don't know this, since I escaped with the army, there has been no news of my family. Whether they're dead or alive now, I really don't know. Hong Zhen said as he spoke, his expression became sad and depressed, and even there was a slight cry in his tone.

"If I can choose again, even if the thief comes, I won't run away. In this way, even if you die, you will die at home, and the fallen leaves will return to your roots, unlike Lu Baizong, who died here and no one knows. ”

"Well, who's to say it's not? People say that people in troubled times are not as good as peaceful dogs. For example, when my team woke up this morning, everyone was still talking and laughing. But now all of them are dying here, and probably without a body. Or because of Hong Zhen's sadness, he also became sad with Ma Wu.

"You may not know, but some of them have families I know. I don't know how I'm going to talk to them if I can go back, or maybe I'll be like them! ”

"Big brother, don't say anything discouraged. We have been able to live until now, which is already the blessing of our ancestors and the favor of God. If God lets you live, you can't die, and don't think about other things. Perhaps because of the resonance of sadness, Hong Zhen actually comforted Ma Wu in turn.

"There is a gentleman over there who often says that people are like any grass, and if they come, they will be safe. No matter what, you have to go on to live, and things should be faced or faced. The big deal is just death. ”

"Brother, I was thinking how old I was with you, so I should comfort you. I didn't expect you to think more thoroughly than me, and I was so ashamed to be comforted by you in turn. Ma Wu collected his emotions and said with a slight embarrassment.

"Oh? How old is Big Brother Ma? When Ma Wu said this, Hong Zhen asked with some curiosity.

"Twenty-five." Ma Wu is a little older, but in fact, he is only twenty-four years old.

"Oh, Brother Ma is indeed older than me, and I'm only nineteen years old." Hong Zhen replied sincerely.

"I'll just say it, seeing that you're much younger than me, I should be a few years older than you." Ma Wu said.

"Well, now I'm also alone, and Brother Ma will be my big brother from now on. Please give me a lot of advice, Brother Ma. Hong Zhen said to Ma Wu.

"Well, it's all my own brothers. Let's support each other on this battlefield! Ma Wuda smiled and agreed.

…

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

At this time, the snare drum of the third assembly sounded.
