Chapter 52: Prisoners of Sin
Soon, Chen Shou was brought.
Chen Shou at this time, compared with yesterday, can be said to be a world of difference.
His arms were tied behind his back, his expression was sluggish, his clothes were dirty, and his face was smeared with blackness, and the whole person was like a soulless body.
It can be seen that his eyes are red, and he should have not slept all night last night.
But this is also normal, as anyone who has suffered defeat and become a prisoner, he should not be able to sleep.
What's more, this one is also a dignified general of a country and the commander of an army.
Yang Mu looked at him, and instantly had a feeling of relief.
Because, before last night, this famous general did not have a very good impression of him, and it can be said that he despised him from the bottom of his heart.
"General Chen, can you rest well last night?" Yang Mu asked.
"Hahahaha!" Chen Shou laughed when he heard this: "I think I, Chen, have been fighting horses for half my life, and finally lost in the hands of a yellow-haired child, interesting, interesting!" ”
"Bold!"
The eunuchs and guards next to him immediately exploded when they heard this, and they all shouted angrily, and one of the guards kicked Chen Shou's back knee and stumbled him to the ground.
"Don't be rude." Yang Mu stopped them and smiled faintly: "The so-called generals are not dishonored, General Chen has suffered a defeat, and it is also appropriate to be a little angry." ”
"Humph!" Chen Shou snorted in a deep voice, turned his head, and said disdainfully: "Emperor Cangguo doesn't have to give Chen a good face, this time I admit it, if you want to say that you are playing conspiracy, it is still a young man like you who is more skilled." ”
"Oh?" Yang Mu laughed: "What conspiracy...... On the battlefield, you are cheating, aren't you also attacking the camp in the middle of the night, and your skills are not as good as others...... If you're not convinced, you can take a look at it. ”
As he spoke, Yang Mu walked towards the outside of the camp and came to a hillside next to him.
Chen Shou was dragged to the hillside by the guards of the army, thinking in his heart what the Emperor of Cangguo was doing.
But when he looked sideways at the camp under the hillside, he was startled and took a breath of cold air.
Is this really just a camp?
It's a fortress that's impregnable!
I saw that on the periphery of the Cangjun camp, there were two arms that stretched out, showing a protective trend for the entire camp, which could not only defend against the enemy, but also besiege the enemy, and the surrounding of the camp was an intricate beam and wood, which was different from the simple fence outside the general camp, and the soldiers were not easy to climb over at all.
And on the top of the fence, there are rows of sharpened wood, and there are some places for the internal soldiers to stand, and even more ingeniously, there are ladder-like things at the top, and the archers in ambush can be said to be at ease, and the whole Cangjun camp is like a hedgehog, even if it is no worse than a city.
I can't tell!
Boy......
Although Chen Shou was mentally prepared, he was still speechless for a long time by the scene in front of him.
After two days of hard work, the Cangjun army actually built such a scary ghost thing?
What role can Zheng Jun's soldiers play even if there are many people? The denser the crowd, the more you suffer!
Climb?
What to climb? Is it climbing the camp wall full of wooden traps?
Without a large-scale army as a backup, occupying such a fortress-like camp is equivalent to an extra talisman, and there is no need to be afraid of late-night attacks at all!
"What a vile and shameless defense......"
Chen Shou muttered to himself with a complicated expression, this kind of camp, a forcible attack must have heavy casualties, almost comparable to a siege, and a night attack is simply a kind of restraint.
Who designed this camp?
Chen Shou asked secretly in his heart, but when he thought that he was now a prisoner, he couldn't change the status quo no matter what, he had to be annoyed, if he wasn't greedy at the beginning, and sent troops to test it during the day, then it would be a different situation now.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Shou said melancholy: "Emperor Cangguo, what is your intention in showing this to Chen, aren't you afraid that Chen will leak it......"
"Leak! Hahaha! You're leaking one for me to see! Yang Mu thought it was funny, if there were no drawings in this camp, even the old soldiers who had built it themselves would not dare to say that they could rebuild it, Chen Shou said this kind of thing, and his tone was inevitably too big.
"What does the Emperor of Cangguo mean? Could it be ...... Want to recruit Chen? Chen Shou frowned, and then lightly said his guess, at his level, the concept of the country is no longer very important, the older he gets, the more he cherishes life.
And he also heard about the third prince Zheng Kang, the emperor of Cangguo captured the enemy general and did not kill him, and he was true to his word.
After all, fighting a war requires talent and experience, and as a general with tens of thousands of troops, he still has this self-confidence.
Not...... If this emperor of Cangguo can put down his body and worship him as a general, it is not impossible to join Cangguo.
"Hahaha, General Chen is too confident." Yang Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Let me ask you a question first, the river ...... Where does it lead? ”
"River? What river ......" Chen Shou was slightly stunned at first, and then was startled, looked at the camp below, and saw the cloth bags, and then reacted: "You guys...... Broke through the grain hoarding camp? ”
Yang Mu nodded, at this time, the enemy general Li Li and some soldiers were estimated to have settled down.
"That's it......" Chen Shou sighed slightly, "It seems that the old man has completely failed...... However, even if you cut off the food and grass of the front-line army, do you think you can defeat the second prince? It's too simple to think, once the food and grass are insufficient, the army on the front line can only choose to attack the city immediately, and then loot the food from the city, you will have no time to rescue, I am afraid that when the time comes, how did the 5,000 army of your Cangguo come to be, and how will it go back. ”
Yang Mu was secretly startled, Chen Shou's words woke him up, yes, Zheng Guo's army is not a benevolent and righteous army, in the absence of food and grass supply, it will definitely choose to attack the city, and then grab the grain!
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you tell you the situation at the end of the river, I can spare your life and let you enjoy your old age in peace, otherwise, you will be treated as a prisoner of sin, and you should know the result, right?" Yang Mu said lightly.
......Hearing this, Chen Shou trembled unconsciously, but soon, he covered up the past well.
Prisoners of sin, as the name suggests, are guilty prisoners, generally speaking, once won on the battlefield, they will massacre the enemy's rout, but often they will also leave a general, or in exchange for the enemy's property, or because they have caused a lot of casualties on their side, they deliberately stay to torture and vent their anger.
And the latter is a prisoner of sin.
The fate of the prisoners is very tragic, not only to suffer physical torture, to endure inhuman torture, but also everyone can trample on, without dignity, to be thrown into the dung pit, to eat feces and urine, palace torture, this is a common thing, many soldiers have some bad tastes, and will try all kinds of strange tricks.
Anyway, it's better to live than to die.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Shou couldn't hold his breath anymore and asked: "Emperor Cangguo, I want to ask, what do you want to do when you ask about the river?" ”
