Chapter 49: Buddhist Youth
It turned out that he was not talking about him, it should be these young people discussing military intelligence. I didn't expect the news of the fall of Wanyou City to spread so quickly.
Li Bochen settled down, but he didn't want to drink water anymore, so he only stood in front of the faucet with a bamboo tube. Listening to them, they seemed to be full of anger, and they also sneered at the soldiers of the Infinite City.
He didn't know about Wanyou City, but he knew that Wuliang City did have deserters every year, but there were only more than 100 people a year. Eighty or ninety can be recovered every year, but not all of them are killed, most of them are sent to the craftsman's workshop to do hard labor, and the period of ten years can only atone for their sins, which is by no means as exaggerated as killing thousands every year.
But it's not a glorious thing, and he has a special identity now, so he has to listen. He wanted to walk away, but he wanted to hear if these people knew what the latest military news was, so he hesitated for a moment.
A few people around the young man let out a low cry, and he sighed, and said, "My father also said that when Wuliang City was breached a while ago, the snow field was also heavily abandoned, and this time Wanyou City was in the same situation. I'm afraid that the armor car, the machine bed crossbow, these sharp weapons have been seized by the demon country. This is not a disadvantage for soldiers, but a crime of war. ”
He commented like this, and at first glance it sounded like a truth. Li Bochen couldn't help but turn his face to look at him carefully, and saw that he was about the same age as himself, wearing a green silk cotton robe with a snow-white neckline. This dress is the same as Tao Chunxi, it looks like a rich family, very noble and elegant. The appearance is not bad, white and clean, thick eyebrows and big eyes, can be called handsome.
It's just that this person is too biased. Li Bochen frowned slightly and thought, when he ran out of the city to meet the enemy before, he did bring an armored car. The armor carts are covered with heavy iron armor and are driven by the "Shuxin" developed by the art research and research, and each cart is equipped with three bed crossbows.
When the monster was still far away, it shot with a bed crossbow. When the armored beasts in the front row were about to rush closer, they gathered together to block the enemy. The soldiers hid in the armored car and stabbed them with large guns used by the three of them from the roof and the opening on the side of the car.
Normally, this can withstand two rounds of impact, and after the demon beast army crosses this barrier, the soldiers in the car will destroy the magic heart and begin to form a formation to fight with the demon beast. Although the monsters have rough skin and thick flesh, the number of people who have come to attack the city in the past is not too much, and at most there are only more than a thousand. When the men formed a battle, and the monks helped them, they also won and lost each other.
It's just that the number of storms of Infinite City was too much, and no one expected it, so it ended up in a city break. Wanyou City fell, and I don't know if it was also impacted by tens of thousands of demon beasts.
When he said "a place of abandonment", he should have meant the armor carts used to stop the enemy. However, this is due attrition on the battlefield, and it has nothing to do with whether the officers and men are cowardly or not.
But several people around the young man nodded when they heard this, and one of them frowned and asked, "Ziang, according to what you say, what should I do about this war crime?"
The young man said, "There is no solution." Think about it, who are those soldiers? Some are rangers, some are scoundrels on the streets, and some are lazy and lazy, and they have no land, and they also go to the army to make a living. These rabble don't want to repay the country's kindness, don't think about their parents, wives and children, how can they have the heart to fight after they go into battle. When they saw the demon soldiers, their legs and feet were weak, and what kind of divine weapons were handed over to them, they had to fund the enemy. ”
Several people around sighed and nodded, and the young man said: "Today's way, only the children of the Zhengliang family can turn the tide when they join the army." People like you and me understand the righteousness of the family and the country, and know how to defend the land and serve allegiance. Even with the sword and axe, he knows that when the south of Tushan Mountain is the country of the fathers and elders, he will never retreat. It's just that the people in the court can't think of this layer, and they only call those rabble to fill the number, and mislead me for the world of the six countries!"
The tall and thin man couldn't help but high-five and exclaimed: "That's a good point! I can't wait to put pen to paper and ask the demon to see what the real Sui man is!"
Li Bochen took a deep breath, slowly turned his face, and looked at the dripping faucet and was stunned for a while. Those who died on the northern plains, were they really as unbearable as they said?
In his last battle, none of the ten-man team he commanded retreated, and all of them died tragically, and the galloping battalion was completely wiped out. When he returned to the city of Wuliang, he learned that more than 4,000 of the 10,000 defenders were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded. There are more dead than wounded, and there are more alive, and I am afraid that these passionate young people do not understand what it means.
He heard a snapping sound, and unconsciously smashed the bamboo tube in his palm. But his hands were already calloused, and the sharp fragments left only a few white marks.
He didn't want to listen to these people anymore, so he threw the fragments of the bamboo tube into the wooden bucket containing the miscellaneous items in the corner of the water room, and walked out of the water room sideways.
But I heard another person say again: "Brother Sui, my uncle can also be the king, you can try this way - once it is done, it will also be our heart to serve the country." ”
It turned out that the young man's surname was Sui? He also said that his father could go to the king of the country, but he was afraid that he was a son of the king. Although it is not the genuine Tianhuang noble of Sui Buxiu, it should also be a member of the huge clan of the Sui State.
Thinking of this, Li Bochen couldn't help but smile. These people look down on civilians and low-level people like themselves, and say that they should be "children of good families" like them to fight in order to have combat effectiveness...... But how could they really be called into battle?
The Sui State has been recruiting soldiers for decades, and many of his comrades-in-arms are the only son in the family, or the only one left, which shows that the "rabble" in their mouths is about to be conscripted.
But these people can still live a quiet life in a place like Shuxue, but I am afraid that the family has already used their connections to exempt them from rotation. If you really want to serve the country and join the army, you can't go to any books, so you can pack your bags and go straight north with your sword.
He had just taken another step, but he heard the young man named Sui Ziang say, "This brother seems to have a high opinion?"
Are you calling yourself? Li Bochen turned his face to look and saw that he was indeed looking at himself.
He smiled: "No." ”
As soon as he turned around and took a step, he heard Sui Ziang say again: "Everyone in the art of science speaks freely, if you don't think what we say, what is there to hide?"
This man must have noticed the smile he had on his way as he passed them, and thought it was a mockery. But it is. I don't know if the young people around Sui Ziang usually take what he said as a guideline, so that he rarely sees people who dare to "disdain", so he is interested in himself.
It's just that although this person's speech is biased, it seems to be loyal and patriotic, Li Bochen didn't want to deal with this kind of casual person, so he stopped and said: "Your Excellency is right, I don't disagree. ”
Sui Ziang frowned: "If you have something to say, say it well, why bother with yin and yang?"
This is the third sentence he said to himself, but he is aggressive. The officers in the army also have this kind of bad temper, and Li Bochen can bear it. But thinking of his previous nonsense to those comrades who died in the Northern Plains, he finally became angry: "Have you ever seen a demon beast?"
