I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 47 Head North!north!
Morning frost is like fog, covering the valley.

White frost condensed into frost flowers on the cold black armor.

More than three hundred soldiers stood solemnly in the open space in the valley, letting the cold wind blow on their faces but remaining motionless, silent and solemn.

If the war horse beside him didn't shake its head slightly from time to time, it would be like an ancient and timeless terracotta warrior.

However, although his body did not move, his mouth was not idle.

Taking advantage of the time before Han Sima and several superior officials arrived, he could not help but whisper a few words.

"I don't know what Sima wants to tell us?"

It is said that the ancestor of the soldier who spoke was also a court official in Beijing, but it was a pity that he was exiled to this bitter and cold place in Youzhou because of his crime.

After a few generations, except for some commonly used words, there is no trace of the people of the imperial capital.

"Is there a reward to be given?"

Some soldiers thought about it and guessed.

There are countless truths in this world, and there are also countless people.

Not many people join the army with the thought of protecting their families and people from the very beginning.

Serving as a soldier to eat food for wealth and spiritual cultivation is probably the original intention of most soldiers.

So when he heard Pao Ze next to him say such tacky words, no one laughed at him.

But someone quickly retorted.

"It shouldn't be possible. If you want to give out a reward, it should be a matter of returning home..."

"Going back south all the way, with your head stuck in your belt, what's the use of giving us a reward?"

"Maybe the head and the head will become the trophies of those barbaric dogs. That would be a joke."

Although this is a bit unlucky, the truth is indeed the truth.

I heard the people around me nodding in agreement.

Speaking of which, these soldiers had never been pointed out to a woman before. On the contrary, they had never experienced the pain of separation between life and death.

Therefore, the words and expressions are relatively relaxed.

In contrast, other soldiers were obviously duller.

In order to take care of their emotions, others did not take the initiative to talk to them.

I just want them to have some peace and quiet.

After all, some heartaches can only be healed slowly by oneself and time, and there is nothing others can do to help.

But just as they were whispering to each other for a while, a roaring voice suddenly broke in.

"I don't want any wealth or rewards."

There was a slight silence in the small area around.

"I just want to fight those barbaric dogs!"

Listen to the anger and murderous intent contained in the sound of the urn.

The soldiers around him obviously fell into silence.

"I've been in the army for over ten fucking years, and in the end I couldn't even protect a bitch!"

"What kind of dignity do you have to live in this world?"

"It's better to fight with those barbaric dogs! I'll settle it if I die!"

He would never forget the bright red blood shed on the battlefield.

And that heart-wrenching urging, 'My beloved, come home soon'!
As soon as he finished speaking, another voice sighed and said hatefully.

"This is a lifelong shame for men of my generation!"

After hearing this, not only those soldiers who had experienced the pain of losing their wives showed shame and resentment.

Even the soldiers who originally looked relaxed gradually became heavier.

However, at this moment, the soldier who just spoke suddenly raised his voice.

"Ever since that tragic defeat, we have been running away and retreating all the way!"

"Today he died in the ten-mile wilderness, and tomorrow you died in the hundred-mile grassland. When will you die?"

"Let me tell you! Since you are going to die anyway! You might as well turn around and fight those barbaric dogs!"

"Killing one is enough! Killing two is enough to earn money!"

"In this case, even if others know about what we have done today, we can still let them know!"

"I am Zhenliao Erlang! A brave warrior! I didn't die while escaping! I died on the way to charge!"

A warrior in the army is always ashamed of being defeated and fleeing!
If he died on the way to escape and the news returned to his hometown in the future, even his relatives at home would not be able to hold his head high in front of the villagers.

On the contrary, if you charge and die in battle, you can at least gain a good reputation as a 'brave warrior'.

The soldier's shouting voice fell on the ears of all the soldiers present.

It immediately caused a resonance in the hearts of many soldiers.

In fact, they are not stupid either.

Along the way south, we encountered quite a few barbaric dogs and enemy riders.

During this period, we encountered two brutal sieges.

If Han Shao, a Sima Han, had not led them to charge without fear of death, their remaining army might have been wiped out long ago.

And on the long journey back south, we still don’t know if we will encounter more powerful enemies.

At that time, they will be able to rush out again with a narrow escape.

How many people can be left in the end?
But just when all the soldiers fell into silence and thinking, a shout interrupted the soldier's words.

"Li He, what are you talking nonsense about?"

"You want to die alone, why are you dragging everyone with you?"

"Brothers have wives, children, and children at home waiting for them to return. How can they risk their lives like you?"

The person who spoke was Li He's senior officer, who scolded him face to face.

Li He actually contradicted him with an unconvincing tone.

"What a mistake!"

"You are not brothers! How do you know what brothers are thinking?"

After saying that, Li He immediately shouted and asked.

"Brothers! Speak for yourselves!"

"Should I die with honor in battle, or should I die in humiliation while trying to escape?"

Li He's words put aside the possibility of returning alive.

There is obviously a hint of sophistry.

But the Han who fought in the army were neither politicians nor famous figures, nor had they experienced the baptism of the other side's world debate.

Naturally, I can't tell the subtle differences.

Glory or humiliation?

Among the two choices in front of me, I subconsciously chose the best solution.

"Of course he died in battle!"

"That's right! If this is the case, even if he is dead, if that bastard comes to my house and mentions me in front of others, he can pat his chest and tell them!"

"He can be considered a luxurious hero! He is not a bear who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Seeing that he scolded me all the time, not only did it have no effect.

Instead, it was Li He who stirred up the brothers, and the chief was obviously a little angry.

But just when he was about to have an attack, there happened to be a shout not far away.

"Sima, here!"

As soon as the words fell, the originally chaotic scene suddenly became silent.It has to be said that with the bloody battles, Han Shao, the title of Sima picked for nothing, has established absolute authority in the hearts of the soldiers.

There was a thunderous sound of horse hooves.

Han Shao still led the way and walked at the front.

Next to him is Gongsun Xinyi, the eldest daughter of the Gongsun family.

After that, there are the four "King Kong" including Lu Yan, Zhong Xinggu, and Li Jing.

After reining in the reins and stopping their horses, Li Jing and others returned to the formation.

Han Shao leaped in front of the formation and heard the shout of "I have seen Sima".

His eyes swept across the group of soldiers who were wearing broken armor but with astonishing momentum.

There is quite a bit of pride and emotion in my heart that reminds me of when my team just opened.

But before he could say anything, a figure suddenly emerged from the formation in front of him.

"Sima! Li He, a humble official! I dare to ask Sima, is Sima afraid of death?"

After saying this, Li Jing, who had returned to the formation, cursed angrily.

"Li He! You are so presumptuous!"

"Sima charges forward in every formation! Everyone has seen it with their own eyes! Are you afraid of death? Are you worthy of asking?"

"Go back quickly!"

But who would have thought that when this guy heard such scolding, he still stiffened his neck and did not back down.

"Since Sima is not afraid of death, can you agree to the humble post's request?"

Li Jing became even more furious when he saw this.

"How dare you! Don't back down! Engage in military law!"

But Han Shao, who was in front of the formation, chuckled nonchalantly.

"Let him speak."

With Han Shao's permission, Li He suddenly knelt down in front of Han Shao and kowtowed a song, and then said in a trembling voice.

"This way back south! One person will die today! Two people will die tomorrow! When will it be the end?"

“I really don’t want to run away from my humble position!”

"So you are humble and bold! Dare you ask Sima to take us to kill the enemy!"

When Han Shao heard this, he was silent for a long time and then asked quietly.

"Even to die?"

Li He said firmly.

"Even if it means death!"

Han Shao stood high on the horse, looking at Li He who was kneeling in front of him, and then raised his eyes to scan the soldiers in front of him.

"You think so too?"

The voice just fell.

Several figures in the formation knelt down on one knee first, cupping their fists.

"How dare you humble your position! Please Sima take me to my death!"

Not long after, all the soldiers in the formation suddenly knelt down on one knee.

"Please Sima take me to die!"

When Han Shao heard this, he was silent for a moment, as if he was embarrassed or hesitant.

After a while, he got off his horse and helped Li He up personally.

"A man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel down as he pleases? Return to the battlefield."

I have to say that Li Jing, my nephew, is also a talent!
At the very least, his acting skills are enough to beat him, Han Shao, as a director!

It was buried before.

Han Shao cursed in his heart, then calmly got on his horse again.

His eyes swept across the soldiers again, and then he suddenly smiled.

"Soldiers, have you ever eaten the imperial meal?"

All the soldiers were still waiting for Han Shao's answer, but they didn't expect Han Shao to ask this question.

Although he was confused, he still responded subconsciously.

"Eat."

Han Shao asked again, "Have you ever been full?"

A loud voice in the formation responded immediately.

"Of course I'm full!"

Han Shao suddenly spurred his horse forward, and after walking some distance, he turned to look at them again.

"Since you all have a full stomach and plenty of energy, why are you still sitting around?"

"Could it be that you were just having fun with me, Sima?"

After saying this, some soldiers who reacted quickly laughed cheerfully on the spot.

"Sima agreed! Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and follow!"

Unexpectedly, Han Shao agreed so easily. Some soldiers were stunned at first, and then subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

But at this time, most of the soldiers had already jumped on their horses and began to urge.

Suddenly there was no time to think too much, so he quickly got on his horse and followed.

I was comforting myself in my heart.

An outstanding person like Sima, who leads them through life and death, will never harm himself.

Only then did someone ask.

"Sima! Where are we going?"

If you are quick, you will take advantage of the opportunity; if you are too late, you will make changes.

Unlike generals such as Li Jing, ordinary soldiers don't actually need to explain too much.

Han Shao, who had already begun to gallop on his horse, had an erratic voice.

"North!"

north?

Many soldiers did not react for a while.

At this time, Han Shao's hearty voice came again.

"This Sima will take you to kill him until he is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood! Kill him until the universe is bright!"

Kill him like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!
Kill him!

The soldiers who were following closely on horseback felt their blood boiling in their bodies when they heard these words.

Soon there was a scream in the formation.

"North! North!"

Only Gongsun Xinyi glared at Han Shao's back fiercely.

"Despicable means!"

Han Shao was disdainful.

How can the means be despicable or not?
As long as the result is good, isn't it good?
