Chapter 521: Attacking the Heart
The guard and his colleagues laughed out loud as they watched the scene.
It's not that the cooks poisoned them or ate rotten food that they couldn't eat.
This is a situation in which the human body itself regulates itself.
Once a person has been hungry for a long time, not only is it dangerous to overeat, but even to eat too well.
These Xingluo captives lost too much oil and water in their stomachs, so it was strange that they suddenly ate a few stir-fried vegetables and didn't run away.
Oil is a slippery intestine, and ordinary people occasionally eat too much and run away, not to mention the guys who eat dry food every day.
After an hour, all the captives had collapsed to the ground without even touching their fingers.
It was as if the soul had detached itself from its body, and it walked lightly.
At this time, another car drove in from a distance.
It was still the familiar carriage that unfolded, but this time it was no longer a meal that appeared in the car, but a huge screen.
Two large speakers also protrude from both sides of the screen.
"Hey, you can hear me, right? If you can hear us, we will begin, please listen carefully to the captured soldiers of Xingluo, this is related to your fate for some time to come......"
This time, the political commissars of the army came to disseminate advanced ideas to these prisoners.
At the same time, I will also talk about their treatment in the next period of time, so that these panicked guys can rest assured, and also pave the way for Xia Ling's next plan.
It was in such a strange atmosphere that the captive life of the Xingluo soldiers began.
Since the day of the night attack, for more than half a month, Dai Mubai has not launched any more attacks.
Regardless of the Wuhun Army eating and drinking in front of the battle, throwing out a gift package to persuade surrender, and even scolding, Xingluo's side was unmoved, and did not have any momentum to take the initiative.
Xingluo's side does not attack, and Xia Ling is also happy to do so, repeating the daily task every day, and then listening to Qianrenxue and Qiandaoliu report the degree of progress.
Qian Lingxue, who moved the fastest, had already taken down Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire, directly.
Except for the fact that some soul masters and soldiers were left behind to block the news, the remaining 100,000 troops had already taken the hidden route as fast as possible and rushed towards the rear of Tianxing Pass.
In three days at most, the cavalry corps and the judgment army led by Qian Renxue will be able to explode Dai Mubai's chrysanthemum.
The Eastern Route Army led by Qiandaoliu advanced steadily along the way, leaving some soldiers to manage every city it fell, and also blocked the news strictly.
Although there is still a small part of the set goal of killing through the east, Xia Ling thinks that it is almost time to end the war.
As a result, the remaining 100,000 people of the Eastern Route Army also turned around and quickly penetrated towards the east side of Tianxing Pass.
Dai Mubai and Yu Xiaogang were still kept in the dark, thinking that the Martial Spirit Hall had only sent this army led by Xia Ling.
Xia Ling had already given the concept of tactical interspersing to the officers of all ranks of the subordinate legions ten years ago.
Of course, this kind of large-scale cannot be called tactical intersperse, this is called large-depth interspersing.
It can make hundreds of thousands of troops appear in the enemy's rear as if they were in a no-man's land.
In the era of cold weapons, when communications and transportation were not yet developed, the most taboo thing to march and fight was to go deep alone.
As powerful as the Mongol Iron Cavalry sweeping across Eurasia, he must also fight city by city to ensure logistical supplies.
Therefore, in many cases, the defender only needs to hold on to a city, or set up a stronghold every few miles, to build an invisible copper wall, and the attacker will be firmly blocked from the wall, and will not dare to act rashly.
However, after a large number of artifacts such as storage soul guides were equipped, even the only shortcoming in tactical penetration was completely filled.
The two-way martial spirit army, which didn't have to worry about being cut off from supplies, took this tactic to the extreme.
Constantly dispersed and converged, bypassing one scout after another, leaving the Star Luo Empire's already poor intelligence system completely paralyzed.
Unless Dai Mubai can find a large number of soldiers, hand in hand, and form a circle to enclose the Tianxing Pass inside.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to defend against this kind of dimensionality-reducing strike-level tactic.
The reporters accompanying the army constantly rushed back to the rear from the front line, or used the communicator to contact the headquarters in Wuhun City, and transmitted the battle reports back one by one through oral narration.
With the passage of time, the Martial Soul Monthly has become the Martial Soul Weekly.
In the weekly report, the good news of the Wuhun Army occupies a large page.
It is a detailed record of what the reporters saw and heard on the Xingluo front.
A few clear photos are posted in the most prominent places.
The people here are struggling to make a living, and the people here are in dire straits.
Lack of food and clothing has become a norm.
Wherever the Wuhun Army went, there was almost no need to make a big move, and the people in the city were like looking forward to a savior, and they drove directly to greet them.
There is no better scene than this when the pot pulp is eaten to welcome the king.
There are all kinds of signs that Dai Mubai has been unpopular to a certain point.
Under the heavy oppression, they had no strength to resist, so they could only surrender to the Wuhun Palace.
A series of reports were transmitted back to the north of the continent, causing an uproar in the area ruled by the Wuhun Palace.
Especially those who had fled from the Star Luo Empire to the Northern Continent felt it deeply, and even a little unbelievable.
How many years has Dai Mubai been on power?
It's only been a few years since the southern part of the mainland has been closed to traffic?
How did the once prosperous Star Luo Empire become like this!
Those who had originally lived in the original Heaven Dou Empire were even more glad that they were under the leadership of the Martial Spirit Palace.
Although the daily labor is hard, at least there is no worry about food and clothing, and the days are getting better day by day!
......
Twenty-five days after the night raid.
The Western Route Army led by Qian Lingxue had already set up camp in a hidden area hundreds of miles away from Tianxing Pass.
Due to the large number of people and the small road, the Eastern Route Army led by Qiandaoliu had to detour the trail and march slowly, and there were still about three days to go from here.
Just now, the captives in the central barracks exploded.
The political commissars who had brainwashed them for more than twenty days suddenly announced something extremely important.
Summer Spirit gave the captives two choices.
First, no longer participate in the ensuing battles.
Since then, he has taken off his military uniform and returned to his hometown.
Each person can receive three days of rations and fresh water, as well as three Golden Soul Coins.
Second, continue to participate in the war.
The Wuhun Army can send it back to Tianxing Pass, and if you are willing to take something and leave, you can go to the cook to get a souvenir.
Before noon today, the temporary steward of the prisoner camp collected everyone's wishes and submitted them to the political commissars, and at noon they had a loose meal before Tianxing Pass.
At that time, if you want to continue to go back to be a soldier, no one will stop you.
If you don't want to be a soldier and want to go home, you can take a car and follow back to the camp of the Wuhun Army, and you can go after receiving the travel fee and rations.
If there are people who want to go home, but it is inconvenient to move because of injuries, the Wuhun Army also provides a very considerate return service.
Someone will drive the patients to Tianluo City, which is the closest to the north of Tianxing Pass, and contact a medical center for follow-up treatment.
The cost of the heal is paid for the journey of three Golden Soul Coins.
In the prisoner camp, the soldier who had been reminded to go to the toilet in advance to take a place was full of doubts.
He whispered to the temporary steward and asked, "Big brother, what kind of thing is this in the Martial Spirit Palace?" Why let us go? ”
The temporary steward shook the plate of his face, which had gained a lot of weight.
"I don't know, but I don't feel like the people in the Wuhun Hall are bad people, nor are they as brutal and unkind as advertised before, they are all devils who do all kinds of evil. I think they ...... It shouldn't hurt us. ”
"Then big brother, shall we go home or continue to go back to Tianxing Pass? I miss my mother a little, and I haven't been out for so long, and I don't know if he's okay or not. ”
The temporary steward patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "It must be fine, her old man is in good health." When the time comes, you will listen to your eldest brother and go home directly with the travel fare, and don't get involved in the war again. With the tyrant Dai Mubai here, we can't win, and if we go back, we will be sent to death. ”
"Huh? Then big brother, will you go back with me? After all, what you say is so dangerous. ”
"Silly boy, how can the eldest brother escape as a general? I still have to go back to Tianxingguan. When the time comes, you can take back the eldest brother's share, and I don't know what the Wuhun Hall will give us. ”
"What? Big brother, do you want to go back? Didn't you just say that you were going to die? ”
When the soldier heard this, he was anxious, and his words were eager.
"Brother, you go back with me, you said it yourself......"
"After all, I'm the general of the Star Luo Empire! It is my duty to be loyal to the country, and it is my destiny to die on the battlefield. If it weren't for you, I would have fought and died twenty-five days ago, just like my father. It's my shame to be captured. ”
The temporary steward's eyes looked at the clear blue sky, revealing a look of remembrance.
"I grew up in the barracks since I was a child, and the words "loyalty to the country" have been engraved in my bones. Even if I go home, what can I do? ”
"But, but that tyrant is not worth it!"
"Look, I said you were stupid and you didn't listen. The eldest brother is not loyal to the tyrant, but to the country. It is very likely that in a few days, this place will be unified by the Wuhun Palace, and it is very likely that this will no longer be the Star Luo Empire by then. But at least until I die, I am still a citizen of the Star Luo Empire, a soldier of the Star Luo Empire. I'm the first emperor's conferred General Huwei! ”
"Big brother!"
"That's it! Don't say it again, I've made up my mind, you just go home and take care of your wife honestly! ”
The temporary steward's face changed instantly, and the whole person became serious.
The little soldier was hesitant to say something more, but when he opened his mouth, he felt a little speechless.
The temporary steward took off a coat and handed it to him.
"If you really have the heart, set up a well-dressed mound for me when you go back, so that I can also be regarded as a soul returning to my hometown."
......
At noon, the Wuhun Army came to Tianxing Pass to eat collectively as usual.
Unlike in the past, more than 1,000 captured soldiers were also eating together.
Their position is at the forefront.
The meal came to an end.
Under the order of an officer, the Martial Spirit Army stood up in unison, held the cup in both hands, and drank it all in the direction of Tianxing Pass and the captives.
"Goodbye, brother!"
They shouted loud and loud slogans, and then sat down as if nothing had happened.
The guards and captives of the Celestial Star Pass were stunned.
After the meal, the little soldier reluctantly got into the car of the Wuhun Hall and left.
He also held a box of sugar fire in his hand, as well as a golden dragon medallion given by the Martial Spirit Palace.
Sugar Fire was a gift to the returnees, and less than 400 captives chose to continue back to the army, and the remaining 1,000 captives chose to take the Golden Soul Coin home.
The Golden Dragon Medal was one for everyone.
Made of a special alloy, it is extremely hard and resembles a lifelike golden dragon.
The convoy of the Wuhun Hall left, leaving behind more than 300 former Xingluo soldiers who still had the concept of defending their families and defending the country and being loyal to the country.
To be honest, the number of people left behind was a bit beyond Xia Ling's expectations, more than a third more than he expected.
After comprehending the fear of killing warbands and soul hunting and soul devouring, he can still have the courage to stand on the opposite side of the Wuhun Army again, this kind of hard mentality is really not something that ordinary people can do.
It seems that the former iron-blooded military education of the Star Luo Empire is still very useful.
This is well reflected in the war against the Sun and Moon Empire during the Dou 2 period.
It's just that now all of this has been ruined by Dai Mubai and Yu Xiaogang, two pairs of sleeping dragons and phoenixes.
The iron-blooded militarism has turned into a mess of mud.
The troops that were once able to fight with the Soul Master Legion are waste.
If it was really during the reign of the previous White Tiger Emperor, it would be impossible for the Martial Spirit Hall to be invincible and come and go freely in the territory of the Star Luo Empire in just over a month.
If you don't talk about it, you have to talk about martial arts in the end, so that you can increase the speed to the fastest and minimize the loss.
However, this one-sided war has been going on so far, except for the Judgment Army, the high-end combat power and Title Douluo of the Wuhun Hall have not made a move at all.
The Star Luo Imperial Army in the original book can still fight back and forth with the Wuhun Palace, and resist the enemy thousands of miles away!
Returning to the Celestial Star Pass, the temporary steward was shouting at the neck of the temporary steward below.
"Look at my face, I'm the Marshal of the First Legion of Xingluo, General Song Wu of Huwei, don't you know me? Let us in! ”
After the Wuhun Army and the returning captives left, the remaining more than 300 men were blocked from Tianxing Pass, and they couldn't go back home.
The defenders above looked at each other.
Song Wu: Of course they all know each other.
The White Tiger Emperor personally named General Huwei.
As an ordinary person, he started as a small soldier and accumulated meritorious services all the way to be named a general, and he can be regarded as the top few leaders in the army, and he is quite a famous existence.
None of the soldiers and generals who knew him believed that he would defect.
But now that Song Wu was captured for nearly a month, the Wuhun Army gave them good food and drink, and even toasted in unison to claim brotherhood.
Dai Mubai didn't speak, who would dare to let them in?
Don't want to die?
The matter was reported layer by layer, and finally reported to Dai Mubai's ears.
Dai Mubai laughed coldly and said, "Let them in." ”
