Chapter 333: It's a fun little guy
If there were only fierce and vicious eyes, the problem was that after listening to the order, with the order of the officer on duty, the more than 100 soldiers guarding the captives immediately straightened up and cursed, straightened their waists, and of course, showed the horizontal knives and spears in their hands.
Then a whole detachment of hungry and long-tasseled troops, armed with horizontal swords, strode into the captives, separating the hundreds of captives from the others.
After discovering that they had been separated, some of the cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army, who felt hopeless, suddenly burst out and suddenly moved towards the several Changying troops who had entered the captives.
However, the consequences were obvious, the Changying Army, who had been prepared for a long time, waved his horizontal knife, his hand rose and fell, and more than ten Lu Longjun who tried to make a move directly separated their heads.
The cold blades, the hot blood, the flying heads, and the corpses that fell to the ground all at once shocked the restless Lu Longjun in place.
No one is a real fool, extremely sensitive reactions, fast and scary movements, indifferent to the point of no warmth, and a bright blade, all of this once again confirms one point, all resistance is futile, except to send yourself to death faster, there is no point.
Since resistance is equal to faster death, if you want to live, there is obviously only one last option left!
The blood of more than a dozen Lu Longjun who tried to resist in vain was still floating in the air, and in the outermost place, another Lu Longjun suddenly got up.
"I know ......"
Before the three words were finished, a spear had already been thrown directly.
"Kacha!"
The sound of the shoulder blades shattering clearly reached the ears of every Lu Long prisoner around them, and of course there was another voice in their ears.
"Without an order, whoever dares to act recklessly will be killed!"
The movements were swift and merciless, but the sound behind them gave these Lu Longjun captives hope for survival.
If they really want to kill them all, then why use the use of forgiveness, don't they want to kill the captives?
There may be people who are not afraid of death, but there is no one who is not greedy for life, but if there is a glimmer of hope, it is enough to temporarily calm their tense nerves to the extreme.
After the situation eased, everything that remained seemed logical, nearly three hundred frightened Lu Longjun prisoners, under the escort of more than 100 Changying Army who had finished their rotation and went to eat by the way, and in the eyes of the remaining Lu Longjun prisoners of nearly 1,000 people, they walked in another direction in the camp of Changying Army.
Fear is fear, and fear is frightened, but people's curiosity is not so easy to disappear, even in the face of crisis, so there is such a thing as saying that it is okay to die at night.
Of course, ordinary people can't do this, and they may not have so much thought when the knife is on their neck, but once the knife is taken down, curiosity will quickly surface.
Of course, the same principle can also be applied to these, among the prisoners of the Lu Long Army who are escorted by the horizontal sword and spear of the Long Silk Army.
Mo Lingjun's cavalry that attacked in advance was encamped in the vast plain area, and the way to camp was the Tang army's Liuhua camping method in the plain area.
The standard Liuhua Battalion of the Tang Army Corps looks complicated, but its core principle is not difficult to understand.
The soldiers and horses that form the Liuhua Battalion are divided into seven armies, with the Chinese army as the core and the remaining six armies set up camps around the Chinese army, thus forming a large hexagonal shape with the Chinese army as the core, so it is called Liuhua.
It's just that the Changying Army, or the Liuhua Battalion of the Forbidden Army, is similar in form to the traditional Liuhuazha of the Tang Army, but it is not exactly the same in essence.
Unlike the Tang Army's traditional Liuhua, which was divided into combat units and had defensive functions, the Liuhua of the Changying Army was biased towards functional divisions.
The normal Liuhua Battalion of the Changying Army is based on two combat camps and the Chinese army as the axis, and the medical, logistics, equipment, and cooking classes are distributed on both sides of the central axis according to the season, weather, and scale, and are composed of Liuhua.
Take, for example, the makeshift camp of only 2,000 people on the plain at this moment.
Mo Lingjun's large tent of the Chinese army is naturally the core of the camp, and outside the tent of the Chinese army is a wide road about four zhang wide.
Outside the corridor, it was divided into six pieces of different sizes, because it was a long-distance attack, there was only one engineer platoon responsible for civil engineering and construction, and basically did not carry auxiliary equipment such as eight-ox crossbows, so the location of the equipment battalion in ordinary times became the location of the prisoners of the Lu Long Army.
From the southeast, clockwise, there are baggage/logistics, prisoners, soldiers, medical, cooking squads, and soldiers.
Outside the Liuhua camp, there is a road about three zhang wide, and outside the road is the wooden wall outside the whole camp, and the six flowers are also separated by a road about three zhang wide.
At this moment, the escorted Lu Longjun prisoners were walking on the road between the Liuhua Camp in the inner circle and the Chinese military tent.
For most of the captured cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army, they could feel that such a layout was beneficial, and it was very comfortable to walk on the wide road, but under the gap in strategy, layout, and vision, what were the benefits of this special Liuhua Battalion was not something that they, the big-headed soldiers, might accurately say.
It's just that the ones who were captured were the elite of Lu Long's army after all, and there were still people with real vision among them.
Guo Zheng, then twenty-four years old, a native of Yuyang, Jizhou, was born in the Khitan ethnic group, and was not very old, but he had been in the army for nine years.
Although he was born in Khitan, nine years have also turned a small miscellaneous soldier into a team leader in the elite cavalry of the Lu Long Army.
It's just that a small team can't limit Guo Zheng's vision, and what others can't see is clear in Guo Zheng's eyes.
The wide corridor can quickly mobilize troops and horses to achieve assembly.
Although the classification of baggage/logistics, wounded soldiers, and combat soldiers reduced the defensive role of the Liuhua Battalion itself to a certain extent, it strengthened the role of each division, at least the location of the wounded soldiers of the Changying Army was much stronger than the infernal wounded battalion of the Lu Long Army.
The layout of the divisional Liuhua battalion may have reduced its own defense, but Guo Zheng keenly noticed that the patrols in the camp have never been cut off, and there is a team of soldiers guarding the outside of every important node outside the Liuhua, and there are teams of cavalry shuttling outside the camp from time to time, and all this is enough to make up for the reduced defense of the division.
The baggage/logistics area where the war horses and grain and grass are located is deliberately placed in the southeast direction, and Guo Zheng knows that it is summer at this time, and the southeast is the direction where the monsoon is located.
The baggage/logistics area where the war horse is located is adjacent to the area where the cavalry is located, which is not only convenient for the cavalry to rest, but also convenient for the cavalry to take care of the war horse, and at the same time, it can also allow the cavalry and the war horse to quickly combine to form combat effectiveness.
All of this gave Guo Zheng a huge shock unconsciously, if only one or two can be said to be coincidences, but so many coincidences Guo Zheng believes that all this is definitely not a real coincidence, but a careful arrangement.
As a Khitan born Lu Dragon Cavalry, Guo Zheng knew that there was a huge gap between the Khitan, the Yan and other ethnic groups and the Tang Army, and Guo Zheng once thought that the Lu Dragon Army as a town of the Tang Dynasty was invincible in the world.
However, seeing that the Changying Army was so meticulous that it was terrifying, I knew that there was a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the people, coupled with today's daytime battle, I planted an invincible impression for Guo Zheng from the bottom of my heart.
While thinking and moving forward, Guo Zheng's entire attention was focused on the military camp in front of him that fascinated him.
Unconsciously, Guo Zheng even forgot the identity of his captivity, forgot that he was in danger of being killed at any time, and when he recovered from his thoughts, he found that he had unknowingly appeared in the long queue, and there were three other such teams.
What surprised Guo Zheng even more was that although the Changying Army holding a horizontal knife next to him was still fierce and vicious, there was no murderous aura on his body, and some people even wore a little smile.
Although he didn't know what the purpose of the queue was, and he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, Guo Zheng still honestly followed the long line to move forward step by step until the end of the line.
When Guo Zheng finally saw what was waiting for him, he was directly stunned.
At the end of each team, there was a strong man with big shoulders and a round waist, each strong man holding a large soup spoon, and next to each person was a steaming cauldron, and next to the cauldron was a whole stack of pot helmets the size of a hat.
At this moment, Guo Zheng's stomach gurgled uncontrollably, but Guo Zheng was stunned on the spot, which made the originally smooth team stagnate.
"What's your name? Why don't you go? ”
Hearing the voice, Guo Zheng suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head and subconsciously looked at the person in front of him.
The man in front of him was also more than six feet tall, with a white cloth tied around his waist, and a large soup spoon in his hand.
It's just that when I looked into the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of me, from the smiling eyes, what I felt was not the vicissitudes that a thirty-year-old should have.
What's more important is that the other party's eyes seem to be able to see through his soul, what Guo Zheng doesn't know is that his performance has already been reflected in the man's eyes when he was close to the position of the cooking class, and the man deliberately appeared here just to make sure of his judgment.
"Guo ~Zheng~"
"Don't be afraid, don't think about it, the Changying Army will never be soft on foreign enemies, but there will always be room for the Tang Dynasty General and the Emperor Taishang, in the words of the general, since you have surrendered, as long as you don't die, you won't die, of course, if you are curious about the Changying Army, it doesn't matter, apply with the military academy on duty, you can walk around the camp to understand."
The first half was okay, after hearing that he could walk around in the back, and even learned about the situation of Changyingjun, Guo Zheng couldn't hide his shock.
"Is it okay......
Not worried about his life and death, but extremely interested in Changyingjun, the man in front of him still nodded with a smile, knowing that this guy's thoughts were enough, so he stopped the topic at the right time.
"Okay, Guo Zheng, don't be stupid, hurry up, there are still people waiting behind, and I think you should be hungry too."
Guo Zheng took a step forward, and the middle-aged man in front of him took out a wooden bowl from the side, filled him with a soup spoon full of broth, and handed it to Guo Zheng, and at the same time bent down and took half a hat and handed it to Guo Rong.
gratefully took the thing from the other party's hand, and was about to turn around, Guo Zheng turned around.
"I don't know what you call it yet."
"A certain family surname Shi, they all like to call me Shi squad leader, if you want to, you can call me the old squad leader."
"Thank you, squad leader."
"Okay, okay, let's go, you're in a hurry behind, follow the front, just find a suitable place to sit down."
According to the instructions of the squad leader Shi, Guo Zheng kept up with the pace of the front, and according to the instructions of the Changying Army, who carried a horizontal knife at his waist, he and the other five Lu Longjun prisoners sat next to a basket full of meat pieces.
Seeing a large piece of cooked meat, sitting around and looking at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at the Changying army with a horizontal knife around him, constantly patrolling, no one dares to be the first to move.
Thinking about the prompt of squad leader Shi just now, the reminder that if you don't die, you won't die, Guo Zheng put the pot helmet next to him, picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
To tell the truth, horse meat is very coarse in fiber, has a very poor taste, and even has a unique smell, which is where the smell of donkey meat and horse meat comes from.
However, after the horse meat was imported at this moment, it gave Guo Zheng a feeling of extreme enjoyment, and after eating a few bites, Guo Zheng, who was almost choked, subconsciously picked up the bowl and took a mouthful of broth, and instantly had a feeling of fluttering immortals.
With Guo Zheng's first attempt, several people who had long been so hungry that their chests were close to their backs looked at each other, and they all stretched out their hands to the horse meat in front of them.
After taking two bites, the eyes of several people in front of them instantly straightened, and they were eyeing the little horse meat left in the basket, and the cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army, who was already a little hungry and panicked, didn't care about anything else, they all tried to win the most weight as quickly as possible, and one of them even stood up directly in order to grab the meat, and a conflict seemed inevitable.
Seeing this scene, the patrolling Changyingjun walked over in two steps, picked up the horizontal knife with the scabbard and smashed it down, and the prisoner who had just stood up fell to the ground.
"Be honest, don't rob indiscriminately, don't make a commotion, the meat is there, the soup is not enough, get up with the bowl, go to the back of the line and wait in line, don't cut the queue casually, don't shout casually, violators will be killed."
The movements were swift and merciless, there was a chill in his voice, and the words he said were also murderous, but Guo Zheng knew that this was a way to maintain order in itself, and the clear order undoubtedly set clear rules for the captured Lu Longjun:
Obedient, can live, disobedient, die!
No one quarreled anymore, no one made any more noise, and all that was left was the sound of walking and drinking soup and eating meat and bread.
While drinking soup and eating meat, while carefully observing the surrounding movements and conditions, he realized that the entire surrounding area was like this, and about hundreds of people were sitting on the ground in a small circle like this.
What surprised Guo Zheng even more was that it was not only Lu Longjun's prisoners of war who sat on the ground to eat together, but also more than 100 Changyingjun who were in charge of guarding and escorting himself and others.
It's just that there is no one to supervise them, and it is much more lively.
All this seemed to verify the words of the squad leader, thinking of this, Guo Zheng turned his head to look at the location of the squad leader Shi, and then he saw that the squad leader Shi was still talking while serving soup and cakes to the captives.
After thinking for a while, Guo Zheng drank the soup in three sips, and got up cautiously with the empty bowl.
The Changyingjun, who used a horizontal knife as an iron rod and directly knocked people unconscious, simply raised his eyes and looked at Guo Zheng, and after making sure that Guo Zheng did not have any abnormal behavior, he directly regarded Guo Zheng as air.
After confirming that there was no problem, Guo Zheng still cautiously walked towards the shortest line and carefully lined up behind.
Guo Zheng did all this carefully, but he didn't know that all this was under the gaze of squad leader Shi.
At this time, after Mo Lingjun got up after eating, he saw the squad leader Shi who was not in a normal state at a glance, and out of curiosity, Mo Lingjun walked over directly.
"Old squad leader, what are you?"
Hearing Mo Lingjun's slightly ridiculous voice, squad leader Shi glanced back at Mo Lingjun, and then asked another cook to take over his work, and then pulled Mo Lingjun to the side.
"I'm telling you, I found a funny little guy!"
