After a year as a soldier, I have seen myself bleed. It was the first time I saw someone bleeding on the battlefield, and it was still a little difficult for me to accept that a person who was also a comrade-in-arms died in front of me.

My mind went blank as I looked at the dark liquid bubbling out of the shaft of the arrow. If Huang Zining hadn't pulled me, maybe I would have been hit by a stray arrow next. The young man must have been grateful to me for pulling him over to warm each other up and sleep. Give me a look, and that means we're even.

I hurriedly dodged the arrows that came towards us, and Huang Zining and I found a relatively obvious shallow ditch to hide in. Far away from the most chaotic place on the scene, my heart is a little more steady.

It seems that the surprise effect of the surprise attack of the southern army has been exhausted. The camp of our Northern Army also began to counterattack under the organization of the generals, and the battle reached a stalemate. To be honest, in today's terms, Zhang Yu's choice of camping is not scientific. The troops were too concentrated, and it was almost a place surrounded by mountains on three sides. Although there are mountains that block the wind, they are more likely to be raided. Shandong is hilly, and even war horses can easily climb those hills.

Fortunately, this raid on the southern army only had more than 2,000 troops, and in order to be surprised, they were all infantry troops, and there was not a single war horse. If 2,000 cavalry rushed down from the hills, even if Zhang Yu's army had 60,000 people, most of them would have been killed or wounded.

The Southern army was naturally reluctant to fight, and the raid was already considered a success. Zhang Yu's northern army had already suffered hundreds of casualties, and it was the best policy to accept it when it was good. But after all, it is a hand-to-hand combat, and hand-to-hand combat is not something that can be withdrawn if you want to. Most of the Confederate army was glued to the battlefield.

If they had assault rifles in their hands, we would have been wiped out. I said involuntarily.

"What gun?" Huang Zining asked.

I didn't expect him to strike up with me. I ......didn't know how to explain to him more than 600 years later, also in this land, technology has developed to the point where a gun is used at a distance of several hundred meters, as long as the trigger is pulled, a living person will be killed. This is still gentle, if it is really true, their 60,000 people, as long as one missile, will be gone.

"What about Zhang Huaishun?" I quickly diverted the conversation.

Huang Zining didn't answer me, but crawled out of the ditch. There was no danger anymore, and many people began to clean up the battlefield. There were still the last dozens of people over there who did not surrender, and more than 200 northern troops surrounded them and slowly strangled them. More people surrendered, and more than a hundred knelt there.

"What will happen to those people?" I wondered what would happen to the captives in this war. I think the war in the age of cold weapons is a war based on people. Then fighting for more new troops may be the key to winning the war. Then the most likely is those southern armies that surrendered, and then took up arms and became the northern army. They don't even need to change their uniforms, just regroup. Maybe the next day, they will have to fight their former comrades.

"What else, it's dead. ”

If I have to accept it, then I can accept the life-and-death fight on the battlefield, but it would be a sin to kill those who have no ability to resist.

"Why kill them?"

"To appease the anger of the soldiers. ”

I'm out of words. War is brutal, they are enemies, even if both sides are Han Chinese and have the same ancestors. The Northern army was attacked by a thousand dead almost a thousand, the southern army fled a thousand and a half thousand, died four hundred, and captured a hundred. After all, it was the Southern Army that earned it. The 1,000 people who died in the Northern Army were also other people's comrades-in-arms and other people's brothers.

Sure enough, the order to kill the captives did not need Zhang Yu to give the order at all. There were already many people with large knives ready to slaughter the prisoners who were kneeling on the ground.

At this time, I saw Zhang Huaishun. He was also holding a big knife, and his face was covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's. The thought that came to my head was that I couldn't let him do this kind of thing. There are some things I can't stop, but I can't let the people I'm with sin off. It's not that I'm kind-hearted. It's that I can't tolerate having a comrade-in-arms around who is only there to kill.

When he cut the first person, I grabbed the raised hand. Zhang Huaishun looked at me viciously, he was red-eyed, if he was unhappy, the knife in his hand would slash at me.

"Mu Wu, what are you doing?" Fortunately, he can still reason with me instead of talking with a knife.

"You can't kill them. ”

"Why can't you?" Zhang Huaishun put his hands down, and kept holding them up, "General Liu Sitong has already ordered all the prisoners to be killed." ”

"An order is an order, but you are not assigned to carry it out. ”

"You're going to take care of me?"

"Yes. ”

The confrontation between me and Zhang Huaishun made the soldiers of the Northern Army who were about to slaughter the prisoners next to him also stop and look at us with interest. And the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield also stopped to look at me, and of course Huang Zining. Even the dying captives couldn't help but look up at me in curiosity.

This made me a little uneasy, because maybe it would get into the ears of the generals. I'm not one to get ahead.

Zhang Huaishun also felt that those people were watching him. After all, a person's horizons are so broad, he looks at him when he looks at me, and he looks at me when he looks at him. He was just as embarrassed as I was, maybe even more embarrassed than I was. In the end, it can only turn into annoyance. Zhang Huaishun pushed me away, raised the knife again, and prepared to make a knife fall.

In desperation, I had to turn the iron gun in my hand upside down and poke the barrel of a gun into Zhang Huaishun's chest. Zhang Huaishun was poked by me and stumbled back. The big knife in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Now he was completely annoyed and angry, and raised his knife and came at me. For a while, I really didn't know how to deal with it, so I took the iron gun and retreated a long way. Zhang Huaishun was pressing step by step, and a steel knife was dancing vigorously. Those soldiers of the Northern Army also wanted to see the excitement, and they all crowded aside. I ran into them when I went back, and there was no way back.

There was no choice but to hand the spear out, hoping that Zhang Huaishun would stop his momentum and retreat. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huaishun was also a person who had experienced battles, and when he saw me handing the spear to him, he didn't dodge, and slashed my spear to the side with a knife. The body still doesn't stop, and it comes to me with a spear.

The steel knife still went straight up and down at my head. I had no choice but to pull my right hand to the left and place the spear between us. Zhang Huaishun slashed at the barrel of the gun again, pressed forward with his body, and pressed the barrel of the gun to my chest. I could feel the heat coming out of his mouth. With the torch in the hands of the soldier next to me, I could see that Zhang Huaishun's eyes were not angry at all.

It pressed me for more than ten seconds, and I couldn't breathe a little bit. You can only use your hands and feet to push him outwards and push him to the side. Set up the shelves again and prepare for his next attack.

"Enough. "Zhang Huaishun hasn't organized another attack, and the two of us were interrupted by Zhang Yu. Seeing Zhang Yu coming, the soldiers who had been watching the excitement dispersed in the captain's shouting. Only Zhang Huaishun and I were still standing there, and the soldiers on the other side who were slaughtering the prisoners did not continue, waiting for further instructions from Zhang Yu.

"You'd better give me an explanation. "Obviously, Zhang Yu already knew the ins and outs of the matter from others.

"I'm just stopping Zhang Huaishun from slaughtering those captives. ”

"You want to disobey military orders?"

"I can't kill the captives. ”

"Then someone else can kill it, why can't Zhang Huaishun kill it?"

"Because he is my chief. ”

I saw that Zhang Yu didn't want to cure me, so I asked and answered with him. Zhang Yu laughed to himself when he first saw me during the day. I thought in my heart that this is what the general should be. When a person reaches a certain level, he should be elegant and can not be angry and self-assured.

"What do you say?" Zhang Yu's face suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "Don't be rampant, boy, give me a reason that can convince me, otherwise you will be dealt with by military law!";
