The people were pressed to their knees.

Chen Jun deliberately frightened them and forced them to cry loudly.

The miserable cry passed through the earthen wall and reached the ears of the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

I can only watch those innocent people die tragically, and I can't help myself.

- This is tantamount to the most painful mental torture for the Crusade Army.

The wailing continued throughout the day.

At the moment when the sun set, the Chen army raised their butcher knives again.

All the cries have stopped,

The world is silent.

It's a dead silence.

Tonight, Chen Jun didn't even dispose of the corpses, and let those filamentous corpses be thrown in the clearing, pecked by the crows that smelled blood.

Every day that followed, the Chen army would capture a group of Liaodong people, force them to cry for help, and then brutally end their lives at sunset.

And so it went on until the fifth day.

The spirit of the soldiers of the Eastern Crusade Army has become very weak, they can give up everything to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but they can't accept watching ordinary people being brutally killed, but they can't do anything.

Some soldiers with poor psychological endurance have already begun to show symptoms of mental trance.

They began to fear the rising sun, and they did not dare to face the eyes that wanted to live.

Xiao Ti knew that this was the purpose of the Chen Army Commander.

They did all this in order to destroy the morale of the Crusade Army.

Now it seems that most of their ruses have succeeded.

Next, as long as there is another dose of fierce medicine at the end, the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army can completely collapse.

This fierce medicine will soon come-

Today, the Chen army proudly showed off to the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army behind the earthen wall.

"You all come out and see what good things we have brought you today?"

On the sentry tower, Tang Guixi watched as Chen Jun dragged a group of ragged people out.

Although those people were all covered with injuries, and some were missing arms and legs, Tang Guixi still saw several familiar faces inside at a glance.

Those were all soldiers of the Eastern Crusade Army!

In the previous battles, the Eastern Crusade army was defeated and retreated due to lack of food and grass, losing most of its soldiers and horses.

Many of them were unfortunately captured.

Tang Guixi originally thought that he still wrote that the captives had been killed.

Unexpectedly, the Chen army did not kill them.

At this time, Tang Guixi watched them kneel on the ground, and Chen Jun pressed his scimitar on their backs, forcing them to lower their heads.

There are also Chen soldiers who deliberately stepped on the injured places on their bodies, watching them die in pain, and the Chen soldiers let out a malicious laugh.

A soldier brought a horse, and he grabbed a captive with a broken leg, put a rope around the captive's neck, and rode through the clearing.

The captive could only desperately chase after him, but he only had one leg, how could he possibly catch up with the speed of the horse?

Soon he fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Chen Bing flicked the reins hard, and the horse under him ran faster.

The captives were dragged forward, their flesh and skin scraped, and their already broken bodies became more and more torn.

Seeing the captive lying on the ground like a dead dog, the soldiers next to him let out even more enthusiastic laughter.

This scene deeply stimulated the spirit of the officers and men of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

The people who were killed a few days ago are certainly pitiful, but they have no relatives and no reason with the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

But that's no longer the case.

The people who are now being humiliated and abused are their former robes, and they are the comrades-in-arms who once lived and died with them.

How can they endure the pain of the skin?

Many people in the Crusade Army couldn't stop crying.

They tried to rush out to save people, but they were quickly stopped by their partners beside them.

They are soldiers, soldiers who value military orders more than their lives.

As long as General Tang does not speak, none of them can move.

On the sentry tower, the feelings and reason in Tang Guixi's heart were pulling desperately.

She knew that this was the enemy's trick, and she couldn't be fooled, but she couldn't do it to watch her former subordinates being tortured to death!

What should she do?

At this moment, a sharp arrow burst out of the air and hit the Chen soldier on horseback.

The arrow pierced through the chest.

Before Chen Bing could react, he was already killed on the spot.

With his eyes wide open, he fell straight off his horse.

The horse then stopped.

Together, there was the laughter of the surrounding soldiers.

Tang Guixi turned his head sharply, looked in the direction where the sharp arrow was shot, and saw Xiao Ti appear behind the earthen wall at some point.

He held a bow in his hand, the string still vibrating slightly.

Xiao Ti ignored the gazes of the people around him, and continued to draw his bow and arrows, aiming at those Chen soldiers.

Everyone's hearts were lifted with it.

The soldiers were standing so close to the captives that the slightest deviation of the arrow would have hurt the captives.

This is also why the archers of the Crusade did not dare to do it.

They were afraid that they would shoot an arrow, and instead of killing their enemies, they shot their comrades.

Xiao Ti didn't have so many concerns.

He let go of his finger, and another arrow was fired.

The arrow once again hit a soldier with unmistakable accuracy.

At this moment, all the soldiers were afraid.

They hurriedly retreated, shooting out of the range of their bows and arrows.

The captives were thrown into the clearing.

Seeing this, Tang Guixi and the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

In any case, the captives were no longer subjected to inhuman abuse, and they did not need to face mental cruelty anymore.

But that's not the end of it.

When the sun sets, the soldiers who have been stabbed with a thousand knives will still aim their butcher knives at the captives.

Xiao Ti threw the bow and arrow to Meng Xizhou, who was following beside him.

He turned to leave, strode up to the sentry tower, and found Tang Guixi.

"It can't go on like this."

Tang Guixi's face was ugly: "Of course I know that I can't let them do this anymore, but I can't stop them." ”

Xiao Ti: "I have an idea. ”

Tang Guixi motioned for him to speak.

Xiao Ti: "Do you remember when we captured Hengcheng and captured those Chen army captives?" ”

Tang Guixi naturally remembered, she frowned and said.

"But most of the captives are dead."

Most of those captives did a lot of evil, Tang Guixi didn't think to recruit them at all, she dealt with them according to the crimes they had committed, and all those who committed adultery and murder were put to death.

But there were always exceptions, and among those captives were a few honest men who were left behind and forced to work in the barracks.

Tang Guixi: "The remaining captives who are still alive are also insignificant little soldiers, and the Chen army may not be willing to let our people go for them." ”

Xiao Ti said: "Have you heard the allusion of fish eyes and pearls? ”

Tang Guixi thought for a moment, and then his eyes widened.

"You don't think about it...... But it's too dangerous! If the other party finds out, it will be ten deaths! ”

Xiao Ti: "Do you have a better way?" ”

Tang Guixi was speechless for a moment.
