Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Story of the Prisoner of War Camp (Part II)
The food issued by the Chu army was not enough, and there was often a phenomenon of grabbing food in the prisoner camp, and Gan Yu encountered it this time.
"Hu Whistle Officer, everyone is a difficult brother, Da Gu Niu is still sick, let us go this time." Willing to ask for soft words.
"Okay, bring the porridge, I'll give him half a bowl!"
The soldier ruffian is a low-level officer, and he has always been the king and hegemon among the captives, because his popularity is too poor, and no one has come to redeem him so far, but he also has several subordinates, and at this moment they have opened their mouths to help, pointing at Gan Yu and scolding.
"Hey! Do you know how to talk about righteousness? What XX stuff! ”
"Fuck off, get out of here!"
"Bring the porridge and give it to the eldest brother as a snack at noon."
The prisoner of war camp only eats two meals of gruel a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, this porridge is too thin, at that time it is full of water, and after a few bubbles of urine, the chest is pressed against the back, and it is the most difficult to boil at noon. Several soldiers scolded while reaching out to grab Gan Yu's bamboo tube rice bowl, and Gan Yu dodged back, and his face changed.
"Hu Da Scarla, don't deceive people too much!"
"Sample, shame on your face!" Hu Da Scara pulled up a kick and kicked Gan Yu hard, several soldiers swarmed up, pressed Gan Yu to the ground and punched and kicked, Hu Da Scara picked up a bamboo rice bowl, shook the remaining small half bowl of gruel inside, raised his neck and drank a fine drink, and then smashed Gan Yu's head with a backhand, and blood immediately appeared.
Gan Yu gave birth to a brute force out of nowhere, kicked away the two ruffians, got up from the ground and pounced on Hu Da Scar, Hu Da Scara was caught off guard, and was knocked down by him, and the two of them scuffled on the ground.
At this time, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded behind him, and several Chu soldiers rushed up, brandishing short sticks and smashing their heads and faces. Separate Hu Dashara from Gan Yu, and then order all prisoners of war to line up and wait for the commander to give a lecture. Gan Yu snatched the bamboo rice bowl back first, gasped and returned it to Da Gu Niu, and then returned to the shed and stood in a proper manner, the rules of the Chu army are big, and if you don't listen to the command, you will be beaten.
A Chu army sentry stepped forward and scanned the audience with a majestic gaze, this sentry officer was the supreme commander of the prisoner of war camp, and could easily decide the life and death of a prisoner of war. No prisoner of war dared to look at him.
"You bastard dogs are all disgusted, everyone else has been ransomed, why doesn't anyone care about you? I even dare to fight, I think I'm full, so I'll just drink a bowl of porridge tonight! ”
Boom. The captives all cried out for the heavens and the earth, and they couldn't eat enough. Who can stand the reduction of rations? There are also many people who are angry with Hu Da Scarla and Gan Yu. Hurling at them.
"Why, don't you have enough to eat?" The smile on the sentry's face seemed to be a little sinister: "Stay here for another day today, and go to Luotian tomorrow, and you will be able to eat dry rice!" ”
The captives suddenly fell silent, and there was a dead silence in the field, Luotian County was the territory of the Qing army. It's not a good errand to go there to eat dry food, and nine times out of ten, you have to let them be cannon fodder. In the battle of attacking Huanggang, less than 30% of the more than 2,000 prisoners remained, and then went to attack Luotian County. How many of these hundreds of captives will survive?
Revolt? Chu Junming's swordsmen and guns were pressing, and he died faster.
Run away? Don't talk nonsense.
Suddenly, someone in the captives shouted.
"Master, you have promised, as long as you can defeat Huanggang, you will let us live, we don't want to fight Luotian." Everyone looked sideways together, and it was Gan Yu who spoke, and although the captives usually looked down on him, they also admired his courage at this moment.
The Chu army sentry officer looked at Gan Yu, sneered and said, "It seems that you are not convinced, right?" ”
Da Gu Niu pulled Gan Yu's sleeve, but Gan Yu let it go, and replied loudly: "Yes, the Chu army is the official army of the Ming Dynasty, how can you not believe in your words, I don't accept it!" ”
"!" The Chu army sentry suddenly changed color, and scolded: "Who do you think you are? You are all Tartars! They are all Tartars that are inferior to pigs and dogs! It's all fake tartars who have forgotten their ancestors! Speak to you of faith, and you are worthy! ”
He pointed to Huanggang City not far away, and roared at the captives: "Your Huanggang Green Camp can't beat us, so you will burn Huanggang City to the ground, do you know how many people died?" According to my will, I would have cut you all down, and going to fight Luo Tian was your last way of life, and if you don't want to go, stand up now, and I'll send him on the road!"
Gan Yu was speechless.
The captives bowed their heads.
The sentry calmed down for a moment, and then said, "I haven't finished what I said just now, Chu Jun has always been true to his word, even to you bastards!" Before going to Luotian, I want to select a group of young people from among you to join the Chu army, now you all pack up and go to the Chinese army with me, and those who are selected will be fucked out of Lao Tzu, and you don't have to go back to the prisoner of war camp......"
Suddenly hearing that there was still a glimmer of life, the already desperate captives were overjoyed, and suddenly burst into cheers, like a mountain roaring out like a tsunami. Join the Chu Army? Very good! Where to go is not to be a soldier to eat food, the soldiers of the Chu army are very arrogant with their nostrils facing the sky, just follow them, and there is no need to be a fake tartar.
The prisoners who reacted quickly had already run to prepare, rummaging through their clothes, receiving water and washing their faces, trying to clean up themselves as neatly as possible, and then finding a place to rest and recover their bodies, they had all been mixed in the army for many years, and they knew that recruiting soldiers looked at the spirit of the army and the martial arts and swords, and they would have to seize the opportunity to be compared to others later.
No one wants to go to Luotian County to die, this is not an ordinary recruitment, it is a chance to live!
"Xiucai, go and sleep for a while, leave me alone, I will definitely not succeed." The big bull will burn again, and his forehead will be hot.
"You can do it! You look like a good soldier at this level, but you're just sick, and you can recover from it by grabbing two doses of medicine. Gan Yu encouraged him, helped him wipe his face to cool down, and found a sharp bamboo thorn and handed it to Da Guniu: "When you can practice martial arts, you will stab yourself a few times, you must see blood, and only when you see blood can you have the spirit to make knives and guns." ”
The big bull took the bamboo thorn and hid it in his arms: "What about you, what should you do?" ”
Gan Yu smiled bitterly: "You also know that I have two moments, there must be no drama, it is almost better than reading and reading." ”
His martial arts are too poor, and he definitely won't be selected.
Da Guniu took out the bamboo thorn again, broke it and threw it on the ground with a bang: "Then I'll accompany you to Luotian." ”
"You're stupid! I'm lucky, I'm sure I'll survive if I go to Luotian. Gan Yu picked up the two bamboo thorns, broke and pinched, brought them to his mouth and blew them, and stuffed them back into the arms of the big bull.
At this time, a few whistles sounded, and the soldiers of the Chu army gathered the prisoners and assembled the whole team.
Under the watchful eye of the Chu soldiers, the captives were sent to the Chinese army in batches for selection, and the shed of Gan Yu and Da Gu Niu lined up in the back, sitting on the ground and waiting.
A group of captives went with hope, and then came back dejected, but the number was slightly less, about 10% of the total, seeing that the selection of the Chu army was so strict, the prisoners behind became very nervous.
"Xiucai, Da Gu Niu, do you two still have to make up the numbers? Don't fucking show up! Hu Dascar was in the other team and challenged Gan Yu: "One can't even kill chickens, and the other is a fat pig himself, what does the master want you to do?" ”
He is a veteran ruffian, skilled in martial arts, and full of self-confidence.
Gu Niu, refers to the cow or steer, since the big bull has such a nickname, it is a soft and angry character, and was scolded by Hu Da Scar, but he just lowered his head and did not speak.
Gan Yu had a bit of the arrogance of a scholar, gritted his teeth and said: "Who can be chosen, it's not certain, let's see!" ”
"Hahaha! Xiao Xiucai still has a temper, why is the boss picking on you, are you a rabbit? Hu Da Scara laughed, leaned forward and back, slapped his thigh, and gasped for a long time before he gasped and said: "It's a pity, people only recruit soldiers, not Mr. Fang, Lao Tzu will definitely be selected, but you will definitely be finished." After arriving in Luotian, Lao Tzu may be able to join the supervision team, and when the time comes, he will give you a good time, okay? ”
……
Hu Da Scarla's self-confidence is not blind, he did not come back after going to the Chinese army, it seems that he was chosen. This is not surprising, Hu Dascara is the sentry officer of the Green Battalion, as long as he puts away his ruffian aura and shows his martial arts, it is naturally more than enough to be a small soldier.
It was the turn of Gan Yu and Da Gu Niu's team, and they followed the Chu soldiers to the Central Military Academy, nervously participating in the selection.
The first round was the martial arts examination school, and Gan Yu got a good idea, but the big bull played abnormally due to illness, although he pierced his arm with a bamboo thorn and bloodied, he still only got a middle and upper, considering that the Chu army selected one out of ten, this result was basically eliminated.
Be downhearted! Gan Yu and Da Guniu sat on the ground with their heads down, waiting to be escorted back to the prisoner of war camp, and unexpectedly, there was a second round of testing below.
than literacy, as long as you recognize words, you can enter the final interview.
After hearing the news, Gan Yu couldn't believe his ears!
Without any accidents, he easily passed the guò test, but the big bull did not.
The final interview was conducted one by one, asking about family experience, etc., and some other strange questions, after Gan Yu answered, the other party did not express his position directly, but asked him to wait for the results.
Gan Yu didn't walk away, and asked cautiously: "Master, I want to recommend a brother, okay?" ”
The officer in charge of the interview gave him a blank look: "What kind of mess?" You haven't settled down on your own, and you're still worried about others. ”
Gan Yu eagerly defended: "That brother is a good soldier and a good person, I don't want to see him go to Luotian to die." ”
The officer was about to say something, but the two people who looked like the chief next to him stopped him, and one of them asked Gan Yu, "Who is this person, and why are you helping him?" ”
"His name is Da Gu Niu, he is a good friend of mine, and he ...... when he is sick today."
As he explained, the interrogator's eyes sparkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After Gan Yu retreated, Quan Xi was still looking at his back, and Wang Kefan asked with a smile: "What, do you have a fancy for this person?" (To be continued......)
