Chapter 804: Refugees (Part II)

"Come on! Drink! In the large camp of the Goguryeo army, many soldiers raised their glasses and drank in large gulps, laughing loudly, lively and jubilant, and there were some soldiers who were playing, several people gathered together, throwing dice to bet on the size, and winning or losing was calculated with copper coins.

At this moment, the officer, who is usually very strict, will not say anything when he sees the gambling scene, but laughs and curses a few words, sits down cross-legged himself, takes out the savings he has saved for a year, and plays with the soldiers.

The day of the armistice is the most relaxing time for everyone, and it is also a festive season, although you can't go home for reunion, but it is also a special taste to celebrate in your own way here.

The pressure that had been held back for a year could finally be released in these few days, and the soldiers ate and drank to their heart's content, and the originally solemn camp was in full swing.

Suddenly, there was a scream outside the tent, followed by the shouts of anger and deplention, and the people who were playing inside thought that someone was drinking too much and making trouble, and this happened almost every day for the past few days.

But a moment later, the camp's drums beat, and it was only then that the soldiers who were playing inside the battalion commander sensed that something was wrong.

Generally speaking, the drums of war will not be beaten casually, unless they ...... Met with an enemy attack!

Before the soldiers could react, the general had already jumped up from the spot, gave the soldiers who were still stunned a kick, cursed, put on their clothes and weapons and rushed out.

Only then did the soldiers wake up and rush out of the camp one by one with swords and weapons.

Enemy attack? Enemy attack at this time? Is the enemy crazy? Ignoring the armistice agreement between the two sides and risking the world to attack?

Thinking of this, all the soldiers were angry, the good holiday was ruined, and now they just want to kill all these Silla people who disturb their peace!

At the same time, some timid people muttered in their hearts, afraid that there would be a bloody battle tonight. Numerous casualties were immense.

When the enemies in the camp all rushed out, there was no large-scale enemy, and they didn't even see the torches outside the camp.

At this time, I saw a sentry hurriedly rushing into the crowd, found the general of the army, and reported: "Report to the general, more than 20 enemies suddenly rushed out of the gate of the camp, they moved quickly, and they shot ruthlessly, we didn't have time to react, and the other party stabbed nine of our soldiers in an instant, and stabbed four to death, and now the enemy has been destroyed, leaving only two alive, please make a decision!" ”

"A dozen enemies?" Hearing the numbers, the general's eyes narrowed.

"Uh... Actually, you can't be considered an enemy. The sentry stubbornly said, "Judging by the dress and age, it should be some refugees who have fled, but I don't know why they suddenly attacked us?" ”

"Oh? Take me to see it. The general, led by the sentry, came to the two refugees who were restrained.

With just one glance, the general could tell that these two men were not soldiers.

No soldier of any country would come out to fight in such a cold and snowy weather, dressed in such rags.

To put it simply, this is not a war to be fought, it is a death sentence.

Looking at the corpses lying on the ground, there were men, women and children, and it was impossible for the soldiers to have men and women, which further confirmed that these people were just ordinary refugees.

However, even if it is an ordinary refugee, attacking the military camp without authorization and causing death or injury is an unforgivable grave crime, which must not be spared, and must be interrogated clearly.

"Where are you from? Why the attack on the barracks? Don't you know it's a capital offense? The general asked condescendingly.

The two people who were pressed to the ground didn't react, just stared at the general, and that gaze made him very uncomfortable.

"Hey! The Shogun's question! Say it! The soldier restraining them kicked them in the face.

The two refugees just glanced back, and the soldiers, still looking at them with blank faces, as if they were looking at a group of dead people.

At this moment, the surrounding soldiers stopped doing it, and they all raised their fists to step forward.

"Wait!" The general stopped the soldiers who were about to move, and ordered to the left and right, "Go and get some food and hot water." ”

When he heard about the food and hot water, the refugee's originally numb expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the general with a little longing.

The general became more and more aware of it, urging left and right, "Hurry up, go and get something!" ”

"But... My lord, why do you want to give them food? They also assassinated several of our brothers. Some people were not convinced and stood up to defend themselves.

"Don't talk nonsense, let you go!" The general snorted coldly, and the soldiers suddenly didn't dare to say more, so they obeyed the order and left.

After a while, the soldier came out with two hot steamed buns and a pot of hot water.

The general took a steamed bun, shook it in front of the two refugees, and said with a smile: "Do you want to eat it?" ”

The two refugees stared at the steamed buns, their throats constantly saliva, their eyes full of madness and longing.

"Hehe, if you want to eat, answer the questions I ask obediently, otherwise, you can only watch me eat." The general took back the steamed bun in his hand, and the two refugees immediately showed a look of disappointment, but they decided to confess everything without much thought.

"I said, give it to me... Steamed bread! ”

The general smiled and let the soldiers let go of them, and the two refugees were about to pounce on them to snatch the steamed buns, but they were stopped by the general's personal guards and prevented from coming forward.

"When you're done, you'll have steamed buns to eat." The general took out the steamed bun again and shook it.

Where can the refugees who have been hungry for a long time withstand the temptation of fragrant steamed buns, and without thinking too much, they told their origins.

Originally a farmer in a village on the border of Silla, he lost his home because of the war, was forced to wander, lost his direction in the heavy snow, and came to the military camp on the Goguryeo front line by mistake, and when he saw the Goguryeo soldiers, he remembered his lost relatives and partners, and was carried away by hatred, and rushed up with weapons without much thought, and then... And then they, who are so hungry that they are too weak to fight, are killed and captured alive, it's as simple as that.

This is a group of poor people displaced by the war, and in the troubled times, they have been here, which is a man-made disaster and a fate.

After listening to the refugee's story, the general only felt slightly sad in his heart, and soon became unconscious, after all, this is a refugee from the other country, not his people, and for him, life and death are the same.

However, he gave steamed buns and hot water as promised, and after watching the two of them gobble up and eat, he stretched out his finger with a smile and gave them two ways.

"First, submit to our army, accuse the Silla army as a Silla refugee, explain their persecution of you, and make it known to the world. I will guarantee your life, and I will give you clothes to wear and food to eat.

Second, die, choose for yourself. ”

I don't know when the holiday will be, hey, miserable
