vs 419 The Cruelty of War (I)

I fell to my knees with a thud, blushed and said, "My lord is kind-hearted, please take back your fame and let these captives live!" ”

King Zhong frowned, and before he could speak, Zheng Fei had already shouted: "This person dares to disobey the military order, come to someone, drag it down and behead him!" ”

"Who dares to touch him!" King Ying shouted violently, followed by King Gan and his guards, all in front of me. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, I saw Yang Lin rushing to the front of the main city tower, and knelt down and said, "This person's name is Li Sibao, and he is a subordinate of the last general." He killed a number of enemy generals yesterday, and I hope that General Zheng will spare his life for the sake of his military exploits! ”

Guo Yuan recognized Yang Lin as the captain of his Desheng battalion, sighed in his heart at the moment, and hugged his fist at Zheng Fei and said: "This young man is an old man's subordinate, and he was very brave yesterday, and the enemy's main general Ao Kuang was killed by him. Now is the time to employ people, and I hope that General Zheng will spare him this time. As soon as the words fell, he glanced deeply at me.

Zheng Fei was reluctant to get into too much trouble with the people in the palace, so he immediately got off the donkey and said in an official tone: "Oh, it turns out that this is the young warrior who killed Ao Kuang yesterday." Well, now is the time to employ people, so let's spare you this time, not as an example. ”

I didn't feel like I was at fault. Before he could speak, he only heard Zheng Fei say to an official beside him: "Let's put it down, let them eat before they go on the road." ”

The official bowed down and said, "The general is kind-hearted, and his subordinates will order dinner." ”

Half an hour later, countless white steamed buns sprinkled like snowflakes to the city.

Zheng Fei said loudly: "This is a freshly steamed white flour steamed bun!" Don't you hungry people want to eat? Fuck me full and go to hell! Archers, get ready! ”

"Fight or surrender! Fight without killing ......"

The Qing prisoners shouted in unison.

Zheng Fei sneered, and after a while, he shouted like crazy: "Don't kill and surrender? When did you clear demons become so kind? You miscellaneous people have killed less of us Han people since you entered the customs during the Chongzhen period of the previous dynasty? In the past few months, you have washed the two lakes in blood, killing how many Taiping soldiers and innocent people? My eldest brother and second brother are dead under your butcher's knives? Don't kill? Phew! You all deserve it, you all deserve to hell! ”

There was silence on and off the city.

I was stunned, and I couldn't help but change some of Zheng Fei's influence.

Perhaps for the first time in the face of unarmed prisoners of war, the thousands of soldiers on the city walls hesitated for a moment, and only a few immediately bent their bows and arrows at the city.

Zheng Fei snorted coldly: "Pick up the bow and arrow, whoever doesn't obey the order will be dealt with strictly by military law!" ”

At the urging of the generals at all levels, the soldiers finally raised their bows and arrows in their hands and aimed at the city tremblingly.

Cursing erupted, and many of the dumplings that had been thrown down were thrown at the city wall by the prisoners of war.

Perhaps the POWs felt that their fate was sealed, and that any resistance would be nothing more than a joke from the people above, so the cursing quickly calmed down.

They straightened their clothes as they had at the moment before rushing to the execution ground, and then they held hands, puffed out their chests, and looked up at everyone on the city wall with indignant and tragic expressions.

Gradually, I don't know who took the lead in singing an unknown ballad, and soon the song spread to every corner of the square under the city.

I knew I was powerless to stop the situation, but I felt a buzzing in my head, at first he couldn't understand what the lyrics were singing, but then he understood something, it seemed to be the military song of the Eight Banners Army.

The soldiers on the city wall slowly lowered their bows and arrows, and the expressions on their faces were painfully tangled.

With Zheng Fei's "release the arrow", thousands of arrow clusters finally trembled away from the bowstring, interrupting the tragic singing.

The square below suddenly erupted in a burst of screams.

One by one, the archers threw clusters of arrows downward, not daring to look at them, and many had tears in their eyes, and many leaned over and vomited violently.

This is not a war, this is simply a massacre!

I cried out in my heart, and just as he was about to utter this heartfelt cry from the bottom of his mouth, he suddenly felt a heavy blow on the back of the neck.

My eyes were dark, and I fainted.

Qin Chong, the head of the guard of the Ganwang Mansion, looked at the young man in front of him who was knocked unconscious by his sneak attack, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and motioned for his subordinates to carry him down.

I woke up and found myself lying in the tent.

Fang Xu, a soldier in the same camp as himself, sat on the side and looked at him, and said with a smile: "Sibao, you finally woke up!" ”

I rubbed my swollen head, and after a moment remembered what had happened, and asked, "...... It's over? ”

Fang Xu's eyes darkened, and he nodded, "The cleaning was completed an hour ago. ”

The two were silent, both seemingly avoiding something.

I digressed the subject: "So long? So what time is it? ”

Fang Xu brought the porridge and pickles on the side to him and replied, "Zishi." Today's lunch is gruel, which is very light. ”

I glanced at the food plate, shook my head and said, "Thank you, I'm not hungry, just put it over there, I'll eat it myself later." I smiled bitterly in my heart. I don't know whose palm is really not light, I woke up after falling asleep for so long. However, I understand that it was that man who saved his life, otherwise he would probably have been dealt with by military law under the circumstances at that time.

Fang Xu put down the food plate and said, "Sibao, you are really kind today, you actually rushed into General Zhennan in front of so many people. Don't you know, the brothers are secretly sweating for you! ”

I smiled bitterly, "I didn't want to see that happen, so I rushed forward." ”

Fang Xu said: "Actually, everyone is reluctant to carry out the order, but only you have the courage to say it." Alas, to be honest, I'm really starting to admire you a little. I didn't expect you to rush into General Zhennan for the sake of a group of Qing prisoners of war. ”

The thought of the more than 4,000 prisoners of war who were shot alive makes my heart feel like a tug. I whispered, "Brother Fang, do you think those prisoners of war really deserve to die?" ”

Fang Xu lowered his head and said, "It's not up to us soldiers to decide whether or not to die. This is the battlefield, and as soldiers, we can only obey the orders of our superiors. ”

I suddenly burst into the mouth and said, "What if the order given by the superior is wrong? Should we do it without asking why? ”

Before Fang Xu could speak, he saw that the curtain of the barracks was lifted with a "gap", and Du Lieutenant Yang Lin strode in. He looked at me with a blank face and said, "This is on the battlefield. As long as it is an order from a superior, we must carry it out unconditionally. Who in the entire army doesn't know that you were recommended by King Zhong, and your behavior today almost affected King Zhong, you know? (To be continued.) )
