There was a "boom", and the sound of wind passed by my ears.

It was an arrow.

"Look for death!" an angry voice burst in my ears, and I was dragged to the side.

"If you want to die, go home and die, don't get in the way here. "It was still the same voice, he seemed angry, but I could hear that he was nervous.

It's like a good-tempered person, deliberately pretending to be vicious for the sake of majesty. This tone is all too familiar to me. The dad at home always likes to talk to people like this.

This person is really strange, if you want to die, of course you should die here, and it is a waste to go home and die. He must have been nervous when he spoke so incoherently.

I thought it was a little funny, so I smiled and went to look at the man.

But the next moment, I couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he had an arrow in his shoulder, an arrow that should have been shot at me.

I wrenched myself from his grasp, drew my sword, and swung it at another rain of arrows that came my way. After a few moments, all the arrows were shot down.

I was very careful with my sword, and each sword was slapped with the blade of the sword, and all the feathered arrows that fell to the ground were intact. Because I vaguely remember that when I came out, my father mentioned that we didn't have enough arrows.

I could see that the old brother who had just rescued me was a little surprised, and he was stunned for a moment before he said:

Brother, yes!

I smiled and said, "That's it."

Then I pushed him back into the trench, and I rushed out with my sword in hand.

This is the battlefield.

It was also my first time on the battlefield.

War is very different from what I imagined. I used to think that fighting a war was a lot of people competing together. When I first learned to swords, I had the experience of fighting with many people, sometimes it was when someone else beat me in a group, sometimes I led a group of people to fight one person, and sometimes I fought against two groups of people who were evenly matched.

I always thought that the so-called war was more of these two groups of people fighting against each other.

But that's not the case. On my first charge, I saw the brothers around me fall in pieces. When fighting, no matter how different the number of people is, you can fight several back and forth. But war is different, every collision is hundreds of lives.

I don't want to fight.

After the battle ended, I told my father.

He said that when he came, he would fight to the end.

Okay, he's said so, and I can only be obedient.

That night, my father suddenly gathered us all together and said that he had caught the spy.

I know the spy. He was the one who saved me during the day.

In the face of his colleagues' evidence, he didn't argue, but when he saw me, he smiled at me helplessly.

"He's not a spy. I said to my father, "He saved me on the battlefield." ”

"Shut up. When my father had said this, he ignored me and had the man taken down and beheaded.

The old man is really getting older and more confused. How can any spy save the enemy?

With that in mind, I looked for an opportunity to let the man out.

A few guards, how could they be an opponent like me who is a serious descendant of Shushan. The rescue effort went very well.

After I sent the man out of the barracks, I gave him a few taels of silver, and told him that he would not be able to stay in Da Zhou in the future, so he would change places to make a living.

Strangely, he didn't look at me gratefully, but just smiled and said, "We'll see you again."

Yes, I saw him again not long after, in that battle of the hundred men guarding the valley.

Indeed, he was a spy of Garo. Father was right, for war, I am not so much naïve as stupid.

And the price of this stupidity is that a defeat in the Great Zhou and 30,000 elite soldiers were all suppressed.

I really don't want to fight, I really can't afford to take such a responsibility.

Then I was sent by my father to guard the city.

This abandoned city has no army, only 500 criminals, all of whom were criminals from the previous dynasty, who came to make meritorious contributions.

In other words, these 500 people are cannon fodder, ready to be discarded as outcasts at any time.

Lao Bai is definitely not my father.

As it turned out, it wasn't.

Which father is willing to pit his son like this.

One moonless night, I rested in the opening of the city gate. It was so dark that as long as there was no campfire, I couldn't see my fingers.

I don't think anyone will find out I'm here.

But I was wrong, and I found that whenever I was on the battlefield, my judgment was always wrong.

A voice rang out nearby.

"We were abandoned. ”

I can't see it, but according to the meaning of the words, it should be another criminal, and I don't want to talk to such a person.

It's all a bunch of villains who carry human lives on their backs, and they should have been abandoned a long time ago.

"Our task is to hold back the army of Garu and make them think that there are still people in the city. As long as the Jialou army hesitated outside the city for a day or two, the large army in the rear could go to the next stronghold to regroup and fight again. ”

Oh, I know pretty well, but I still ignore him.

"We're pretty much a shield now, nothing more than meat. ”

"You're so annoying. "I can't help it, this person is bothering me.

The most terrifying thing about this kind of guard battle in the dark night is not the enemy attack, but the camp roar. Everyone's nerves are tense, and the slightest emotional stimulation will turn into an internal scuffle. In particular, these 500 people are all criminals, they have not experienced the training of the army and the tempering of the war, and they have neither a sense of honor nor responsibility, and my father asked me to take this group of people here to defend the city, which is obviously just a simple and direct punishment.

"I'm sorry brother, we're going to die as soon as the morning dawns, and if we don't talk to anyone, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to say it in this life. The voice in the darkness was a little helpless.

I said disdainfully: "Now that I know that I regret it, why didn't I want to think about it today when I was a traitor." ”

The man said: "Regret is regret, but what I regret is that I was not good at learning art at the beginning, and I hesitated a little when I started, and I didn't kill that family of brutes." ”

"Hopeless. ”

It's hopeless.

The man seemed to smile, and although I couldn't see it, I could feel it as a very helpless smile. He didn't get angry and asked me again, "Are you afraid?"

I asked him, "Are you afraid?"

He said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid. ”

I said, "Then you're dead." ”

He said: "Yes, I know that when you go to the battlefield, once you are afraid, there is no hope of survival. ”

"But I really don't want to die......"

I heard him say this, and his voice seemed to be choked. Such a person is really despised. When I traveled abroad, I have also seen a lot of wicked people, and most of them will say "the head has fallen off the bowl and a big scar" or "Lao Tzu will be a good man again after eighteen years", and no matter whether he is a good man in his life or not, but this courage will more or less make us people who pretend to be good.

But this person actually cried in fear of death.

A villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death is usually a despicable villain.

He didn't seem to mind being heard crying by me, and continued to sob: "Before I came to be a criminal pawn, I had the opportunity to go home once, and my daughter-in-law had that affair two days after marrying me, and I waited for fifteen years, and I was widowed for fifteen years, and I finally got pregnant at this meeting." I don't want to die yet, I want to see my child born. ”

I was a little irritated and said, "What about the people you killed, their flesh and blood, their wives and children? ”

The man roared angrily: "What do you know? What do you know! You sons of big families will talk in the vernacular, how do you know what human suffering is!"

I also scolded angrily: "A scumbag like you is a human suffering." ”

The man said: "I am a scumbag, I am a scumbag who has done something unreasonable to the heavens and the people, and God wants to do this to me! I am an ordinary blacksmith, and I have never been short of ironware, and I have never taken advantage of others, nor have I ever bullied others." The old dog of the Yu family killed my sister and insulted my wife, but in the end, I was put in prison, sent to the army, and finally died here silently, and there was no one to collect the body. Pity my wife and children, there is no man in the family, and I don't know how to be bullied in the future. ”

"Do you know how my beloved wife has spent the past fifteen years?"

"Do you know how those righteous friends who call me brothers and sisters on weekdays bullied her after I was imprisoned!"

"I have not done anything evil in my life, so why ......"

"Why is this ......?"
