Chapter 3281 Really voluntary
Lu Zhao’s main purpose is not simply to conquer Wenxi.
If it is just to attack Wenxi, then he will launch a fierce attack directly.
In his mission, he must be careful of the sneak attacks of the Cavalry Army, and check whether there is a possibility of bypassing Emei Ridge, crossing the Fen River, and directly attacking Linfen from the intersection north of Wenxi!
He came along the way and was often forced to break the fort, so he led a lot of people, but not many of them had high quality.
Among them, most of the elderly and weak were. If we only talk about young and strong, there were four or five thousand people.
Such power is already an extremely terrifying existence for the forts along the way. Even if you fill in it with people, you can fill in most of the forts, but it is a bit difficult to deal with Wenxi, which is normal.
However, Lu Zhao didn't care about losing the lives of these people who were "picked" along the way, and could even be said to be quite casual, while he was very cautious about the elite soldiers of the real Cao army.
Lu Zhao was an old man from Cao's army. He felt that Cao's army's movements had significantly accelerated at this stage.
Maybe it's because of the military force, maybe it's...
Some things may not be known even if he is a veteran in Cao's army, but he has his own guesses. Therefore, it is best to be able to defeat Wenxi, but if he cannot defeat him, he cannot fill in the elite soldiers of Cao's army.
Anyway, this is the case in Shandong's military system. Whoever has the ability to get many soldiers is his own. If you want to return it, it depends on what compensation is given by the superior. Basically, in the army, there are hills of all sizes and hills, each doing its own business. If the general cannot bring more money and property to his subordinates, then he will not be able to keep people.
If you can protect your own strength, you will take one step at that time.
Because of this, although Lu Zhao's troops arrived at Wenxi, it seemed that the army was powerful and arrogant, but those who really fought in formation were those who could be abandoned at any time...
That's right, in Lu Zhao's eyes, Pei Jun is a thing that can be thrown away at any time.
Wenxi is like the forts along the way, but it is just a big one.
I like to hear and see, but I faltered in Pei Jun's crazy attack.
But it's still shaking, not yet...
The night slowly descended, and in the wilderness, there were bonfires.
At this time, it is easy to distinguish between elite soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers. If the bonfire is dense and regular, it must be the elite soldiers, and those who are messy and one by one must be the ragged camp of miscellaneous soldiers.
Pei Jun sent someone to find Lu Zhao to ask for food, but Lu Zhao threw away a few bags of old grains and then sneered and got rid of the matter.
Want to eat meat?
Go to the city to cut it, and you can eat as much as you want!
Pei Jun wanted to get angry, but couldn't, so he could only cook randomly under his own hands and eat it all in a hurry. If these moldy and spoiled grains were before, Pei Jun would feel that he had been insulted, his eyes were wronged, and his heart was defiled, but now...
Donuts, uh, porridge, grain porridge, so delicious!
As for the people who were brought in, they had no food at all. Many people carried the old and weak, wrapped everything they could on their bodies, sat around the bonfire and half asleep, enduring hunger and suffering from the cold at night.
Of course, some people will secretly go to the city to cut their flesh.
This is just everyone's choice.
Some people are willing to be individuals when they die, while others are willing to be a ghost in order to live.
In the camp where Pei Jun and others were located, there were some women wearing cloth blankets in groups, trying their best to clean themselves up, either standing or squatting outside the camp.
The men came out in groups of three and three, holding a torch and looking at the women as if they were picking up goods. Some of them were touching and pinching directly, and then dragging them away. After a while, these women with disheveled hair ran out of the camp with some food, and then took it to their families, the elderly and children.
In troubled times, both men and women are working hard.
Your own bad fate.
Only in prosperous times can dignity be considered valuable.
The soldiers of Cao's army also wanted to pull some women, but were banned by Lu Zhao's order. Lu Zhao did not have any compassion for those miscellaneous soldiers and riots, but he felt that he might not be able to be peaceful tonight!
Under the tight escort of his personal guards, Lu Zhao sat in full arms in the tent in the camp, leaning on the sword in his hand, as if waiting for something expressionlessly.
In Luzhao's military camp, almost all of them were elite, everyone was wearing iron armor, holding swords and guns. There were also a small number of war horses that were directly led into the camp and mixed with the soldiers.
The war horse ate the essence and some ordinary hay.
Some war horses were sucked while eating, but the surrounding Cao army soldiers didn't care even if they cursed a few times.
Among Cao's army, war horses are more expensive than people.
Lu Zhao demanded caution, and the soldiers of Cao's army were naturally dissatisfied, but after all, Lu Zhao was an old qualification and was considered a senior figure, so the little thing under the crotch was of course not as important as the head on the neck. After all, even if the lower part was cut, people could still survive. However, if there were fewer people, even if the lower part was complete, it would be meaningless, right?
The most important thing is that Lu Zhao himself was wearing a complete dress and pretending to sleep with a knife. This left many Cao army soldiers with nothing to say.
This is the case with Shandong habits. As long as the leader can really do things, the people below will naturally follow.
If the upper beam can be straight, it is straight, but if the upper beam is not straight, it is so crooked that it is unpredictable.
After all, Lu Zhao treated Pei Jun and others harshly, but he was not bad at the Cao army soldiers under his command. He took care of the food and drink expenses. If he didn't obey the boss's orders, who would he obey? Moreover, everyone understood Lu Zhao's meaning. He didn't know which side of the cavalry and horse were holding on, especially at night, he had to be careful. As for whether to eat, drink and have fun, these are meaningful only when they have the life to be there, so these Cao army soldiers followed Lu Zhao closely, as if they were facing a great enemy.
In the temporary camp where Pei Junzhi is, he looks completely different from Lu Zhao.
Perhaps because of the arrival of the doomsday, almost everyone of these miscellaneous soldiers assigned to Pei Jun was venting something crazy. Some were laughing, some were cursing, and some were desperately trying to go in and out of the woman until she foamed at the mouth.
After suffering today, no one dares to think about what will happen tomorrow.
No one likes the destruction of his family, but everyone has the instinct to struggle to survive.
Pei Jun sat on a stone with a pale face, and felt that it was cold from the valley gate to the cardia and then to the fontanelle!
If you don’t die today, it doesn’t mean you won’t die tomorrow!
Many holes were taken out of Wenxi's city wall, but they still did not fall!
I can't get in if I haven't fallen!
And no one knows whether Wenxi's people will be compensated again after one night...
"Mr...." Pei Jun's confidant whispered, "It's probably not good if this continues!"
Pei Jun did not answer.
Even a fool now knows that things are not going well.
Pain, regret, annoyance, and chaotic emotions fill Pei Jun's heart.
Maybe it was...
'Or...' Pei Jun's confidant whispered, 'Why don't we run away?'
Cao's army obviously wanted Pei Jun and others to stand in front and die, or to seek life in death to defeat Wen Xilai. However, after fighting for several days, the hope of defeating Wen Xi was getting slim.
It is already a great thing for miscellaneous soldiers to do their best. Now they lack food and supplies, so they can only become weaker and weaker as they fight.
If Wen Xi cannot be defeated, he may be killed by the Cao army who supervised the battle!
If so, it would be better to run away while you still have some energy!
『Where to go?』 Pei Jun smiled terrified, 『Where can you go?』
"Go to the north! Run into the desert!" his confidant replied, "It's better than dying here?"
『Da Desert?』 Pei Jun shook his head, 『Don't forget that the cavalry has a Northern Territory Protector!』
Speaking of this, Pei Jun's words were full of sadness, which was as great as the world, and there was no tiles to accommodate him.
"The desert is so big, who can know who is who?" My confidant lowered his voice, "If it really doesn't work, we can go to Taihang first, and then hide in the mountains for a while, and wait until the situation is settled... It's not too late to make a decision slowly, it's better than waiting to die here!"
『…』 Pei Jun was stunned.
It was indeed a long way to go to the desert, but it fled to the mountains...
But if he really wants to escape, what is the significance of his surrender to Cao Cao before?
What is the meaning of him giving up even his mother and family?
So the hardships and blood he suffered before were all the same as in vain?!
etc.
Pei Jun suddenly realized that he could not even think of escaping from Taihang and escaping from the desert. Why did his confidant think of this?
Thinking of this, Pei Jun couldn't help but shed tears, grabbed his confidant's hand and said, "I... I can't get out of it anymore... I can't get out of it anymore! This world is really a sacrificial person! People-eating person! If you want to leave, I won't stop you. In the darkness of the night, whoever you want to leave secretly! I am very grateful to each other! Today, even if I have goodbye to see you today, I will meet again if you are destined to see you!"
The confidant stared at Pei Jun holding his hand tightly. After a long time of silence, Fang sighed in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't leave."
?????????????????????????
Pei Jun seemed to have reacted and quickly let go of his hand, "I, I don't mean to force you to keep...you, you can really leave..."
My confidant smiled, and she looked a little terrible, "It's okay, I'm...I stayed voluntarily..."
"Really, really voluntary?" Pei Jun asked.
"Really!" The confidant nodded.
"Then...you swear..."
『Uh... OK, I swear...』
...
...
Time is constantly on the way. Some of the camps outside Wenxi City have become quiet, while others have laughed, howled and screamed from time to time. But no matter how miserable the day is, humans are unable to support twelve hours of endless work a day. Even in such a simple and embarrassing environment, many people still wrap their rags tightly on their bodies and snuggle up to each other and fall asleep.
Even the camps everywhere, even if they were on duty and patrol night patrols, they were now tired and gradually found a shelter to be lazy. No one knew how long they could live, and no one knew what would happen in the future, so there was no way to talk about what responsibilities, morals, and future.
At this moment, some dull sound suddenly sounded in the direction of Emei Ridge!
Then there was a shouting and whistling sound, which immediately soared into the sky!
For a moment, no one knew what was shouting in the shouting, but some emotions were not necessarily transmitted through words. As long as your ears were not deaf, you could hear the fear contained in the whistling sound!
It's like a person's scream in despair, even strangers can feel the pain.
The flames then rose up after shouting, as if igniting half of the sky.
In the camp under the joy of the sound, those who were half-dream and half awake were awakened, curled up in panic, hugged each other, and looked at everything in front of them in horror.
I saw that in the direction of Emei Ridge, there were teams of soldiers and horses rushing towards me with swords and guns!
Some people wanted to avoid these people, but because of panic, they rushed to them and were killed in the fire, with blood splashing everywhere!
Some people who are nervous or afraid are so weak that they can't run, and are trampled under the horse's hooves!
In the face of war, there is no absolute safe zone.
In just a moment, I don’t know how many people have lost their lives!
The frenzy spread rapidly!
Originally, Pei Jun's miscellaneous soldiers were missing order, but now they were attacked by people, and they were like a pot of porridge that was overturned, and were everywhere in the mountains and fields. The people who were held were crying and shouting, either supporting the elderly or grabbing their own children, running around without any brains!
Death is driving these miscellaneous soldiers and making them instinctively rush towards other camps like a wave. The panic-panicked crowd lost their minds, and people crowded together, pushing each other, trampling each other, trampling each other, and even slashing each other, all wanting to escape from death, but spreading death everywhere.
Not all the camps of the miscellaneous soldiers were connected together, but it seemed that humans instinctively survived from ancient times, causing the crowd to gather in the light without thinking, like moths flying into the fire. Some camps were originally relatively backward, but they were not attacked immediately, but were also pushed down by the craze crowd and squeezed in desperately.
At each gap, I don’t know how many people were tripped on the ground, nor do I know who was trampling on my feet, and whether they were still supporting and encouraging each other during the day!
Fire heads rose everywhere, and flames danced unscrupulously in the night sky, as if they were jokingly ridiculing these tiny humans.
In troubled times, human life is the most valuable thing.
Everyone who can survive the chaos again and again can be said to have great luck...
Pei Jun is obviously not lucky.
Not even a clever mind.
He was in the camp of the soldiers, and because of his arm injury, he could not sleep soundly. After getting up, he could hear the noise outside at the first moment.
Pei Jun quickly turned over, but because he was involved in the injury, he couldn't help but grin, "What happened?!"
At this time, the whistling sound from afar was also pouring into his ears, making Pei Jun and his surrounding guards and others pale, "Enemy attack!"
Not only that, the enemy attack also triggered a camp roar!
People around Pei Jun also knew what would happen in such a situation. Everyone couldn't help but burst into cold sweat and looked at Pei Jun, hoping that Pei Jun could make an idea.
Pei Jun staggered, lifted the curtain of the tent, and took a breath.
The flames soared into the sky in the distance, and the light and shadow of the people swayed. The smell of blood mixed with shrill shouts hit Pei Jun and others directly, shaking the earth and sweeping over, making Pei Jun have to hold the door post of the tent, as if he could not let his feet collapse without letting him fall down.
"The Cavalry Army is here! It's over! We're over!"
"It's broken! The cavalry is coming towards us!"
『Ahhhhh…』
Before Pei Jun could say something, the people around him were already in panic.
"Langjun, what should we do?" Pei Jun's confidant asked anxiously.
"What should I do?!" Pei Jun was sweating coldly on his forehead.
Everyone around was staring at Pei Jun, hoping that Pei Jun could come up with a good solution.
"Hurry, go!" Pei Jun said.
The confidant couldn't help but feel happy, but he heard Pei Jun say the second half, "Let's go find General Lu!"
The confidant couldn't help but froze. The next moment, he saw Pei Jun half turned his face, "You have made a vow..."
『Yes,』 The confidant nodded,『I swear!』
Pei Jun suddenly felt relieved, "Okay, go quickly, let's go quickly!"
So Pei Jun and his party didn't even dare to fight the flag, but just raised a few torches and rushed to the camp where they were.
Oath...
What is an oath?
It is "You Shang assisted one person and punished by heaven, and I will give you great help!"
It’s also true, “You believe everything, I will not break my promise!”
Even more, "If you don't follow the oath, I will kill you, and there will be no forgiveness!"
Volunteer, voluntary!
I stumbled along the way and gradually approached Luzhao's camp.
The camp where Luzhao was built by Pei Jun and other soldiers before attacking Wenxi. Therefore, unlike the camps in the wild, they have solid village walls and complete fortifications. Several trenches were dug out and horse-rejected and wooden stakes were built.
Pei Jun and others rushed outside Luzhao Camp. They saw that the crowd behind them had not yet been flooded, so they were a little happy and hurriedly shouted at Luzhao Camp, expressing their identity and hoping to get into the camp to avoid disaster, but they did not want to be scolded by the Cao army soldiers in the camp, and ordered Pei Jun to go back and collect the remaining troops immediately to resist the enemy, and warned that if they crossed the trench, they would kill them without any hesitation!
Such words were like a basin of ice water, which directly splashed Pei Jun's body!
Seeing this, Pei Jun's "confidant" lowered his head, shrank his neck, and slipped backwards.
Pei Jun was unable to come back to his senses from this "shocking news". After a while, he found that his "confidant" had turned around and ran out. He was furious, "What are you going to do?! You have sworn!"
The "confidant" didn't look back and threw the torch in his hand on the ground, shouting, "Everyone! If you don't escape at this time, when will you wait!"
The people around Pei Jun looked at each other, as if the time and space had frozen for a moment at this moment, then they shouted, leaving Pei Jun behind and ran away!
Pei Jun's tree has become completely decayed. If you don't run away, the ending will be nothing more than death!
Seeing that Pei Jun's "confidant" had run away, there was nothing else to say. They all ran away like money, screaming and screaming.
"Don't run away! Don't run away!" Pei Jun shouted, "All have made swears! You all have made swears!"
But no one paid attention to him.
Pei Jun subconsciously wanted to chase these escaped subordinates and wanted to gather them back together, but as he ran and chased them, stumbled and staggered. Pei Jun was confused and accidentally fell down with his head down. His arm was injured and he was about to support the ground, but he screamed, and he couldn't afford to take the energy at all. His head slammed on the ground with a bang...
Perhaps it was just a moment, or maybe it was a long time later, when Pei Jun woke up from his dizziness, he saw a crowd of people running over, and the black soles of his feet were right in front of him!
Those ordinary people who were called around by him, despised and mocked, and even punched and kicked, and were wantonly humiliated, are now like a surging tide, and they drowned Pei Jun with a thud.
Paji, paji.
