Chapter 629: They have all run away, so I will run away too
The same thing may not happen several times in a day, but this time it caused a huge psychological shadow on many people.
They didn't even know the name of the soldier Han Dang killed, but his blood was spread on everyone's heart.
If the idea didn't sprout, it might be difficult for anyone to think about such a thing, but the idea of being a deserter has penetrated into everyone's heart at the moment——
There are two choices before everyone:
If you escape, you may be discovered and killed, but if you succeed, you can remain anonymous and live well.
If they don't escape, every day may be the last day of their lives, and victory or defeat is no longer important.
Why do people like gamblers appear?
Of course it's not because of how profitable gambling is.
On the battlefield, everyone is gambling. The gamblers in the gambling house are addicted to gold and silver, and they spend gold and silver. But on the battlefield - they, the soldiers, are gambling with their lives -
It's not how attractive gambling is that creates gamblers, but everyone is a gambler, but the extent to which they can accept it varies.
None of the soldiers who fought to the death didn't want to win military glory and then return to their hometowns with no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives - but now you tell them that they will die if they don't escape, and they may still survive if they escape. So what kind of choice is that?
It can no longer be called gambling.
It is better to die than to live. The attraction of living always becomes particularly attractive when people are facing death.
So if one person escapes and another person fails to escape, it will not affect their decision.
Just like a dike that bursts out of an ant's nest, a guide opens the valve for the surging water. It's like an ant's nest carving a hole in the dike. Once it breaks out, it's out of control.
On the same day, after Han Dang killed a soldier who failed to escape from the battle, two hours later, Zhang Liao once again swept through the Soochow army. This time, Zhang Liao killed very few people because he saw - saw
The opportunity for victory mentioned in the kit:
When the Soochow people began to flee without fighting, it meant that the defense battle in Hefei was about to enter the final stage.
————
"Damn it! Everyone has run away! How can we fight this battle!!"
There was constant noise outside the commander's tent, and there were soldiers running back and forth in front of the door. But don't misunderstand - this is not the enemy coming... Nearly a thousand soldiers had just fled together. Zhu Huan, who was alarmed by this, hurriedly sent Han Dang.
Ding Feng, Zhou Tai and other generals led the team to arrest people——
What to do after you catch him?
Killing was definitely not allowed, because Han was going to kill someone, and some people shouted "rats who would rather die than run away." This made everyone realize that at this time, if they killed people, they would force the soldiers to escape.
But... they can't catch many people -
They are obviously their own soldiers and horses, but those who don't escape are still determined to gamble. They won't leave even if they are forced to leave, but those who escape are all their colleagues——
Some people haven't even killed a few enemies, and you want them to catch their own colleagues who escaped. This is obviously some inhumane behavior, and few people will use their full strength.
The result was that when Zhou Tai returned cursing, only one or two hundred of the nearly one thousand fleeing soldiers were captured.
It's just that... for Zhu Huan and others, the war is over, but for some people... their battle has just begun.
