Chapter 102 Human Heart
Lao Lin left with a sigh. Today's sky is very blue, but he feels that the whole world seems to be gray.

Especially when he went back and faced the expectant faces, he felt that his heart became extremely heavy.

A dangerous thought hit his mind.If he surrendered, would he still be able to change the lives of his brothers?
It is said that the regent only kills the enemy troops, not the prisoners.There were also rebellious parties back then, but after voluntarily surrendering, they were used as hard labor, and there was a new way out after taking the crime and making meritorious service.

Turan soldier Jiang Bang killed each one he saw, and never wanted to take prisoners.So the Turan people are deeply afraid of him, but they are the people of Great Light!
"General, what are you thinking?" The boy who had just turned twelve smiled and handed Lao Lin a cornbread, which he specially left for Lao Lin just now.

The young man's smile was bright, and he didn't know the fate that was waiting for them. "General, eat quickly. This is what everyone left for you. I'm afraid you won't eat it when you come back."

If you are nervous about eating, no matter whether you are a general or a soldier, you are treated equally.

Lao Lin was called to discuss the battle plan, and he was ready for a hungry meal. Unexpectedly, the brothers cared about him and reserved a special bun for him.

He knew that the buns were all saved by the brothers who endured not eating.A steamed bun has to be passed on to several people before it can be eaten. Even so, everyone is still insisting on it.

Before, they thought that they were following Dayi and going to Lord Qing's side in Luodu to clear the way for the emperor.

But now what?

No one mentioned the matter of Qing Jun's side anymore, even the youngest child just followed obediently and never asked why.

Everyone has a unified tacit understanding, as if someone asks the reason, the balance of silence will be broken.

Their persistence will also be dissipated in an instant!
"Boy, are you afraid of death?" Lao Lin didn't refuse, took the bun and started eating.He ate very carefully, even carefully picked up the falling scum, and ate it clean.

The young man who was asked had a blank look on his face for a moment, but then he nodded slowly, "I'm afraid."

His eyes were bright, but he could not see hope.Although he is young, he is not ignorant of his future.

Lao Lin knew his situation, and his whole family fled the famine, and he was the only one who survived.Joining the military camp, this is the only way to get a living.

He came to the barracks to live, not to die!

The sincere attitude of the little soldier made Lao Lin silent.Not only him, dare to ask everyone in this army, who really wants to die?

It's just that they are King Xuan's soldiers, there is no way.Whatever King Xuan did, they had to do.

Even if it is to let them be the stepping stones of the Turan people...

But is that really the only way?

Lao Lin looked at the sky and fell into deep thought. At the same time, Lao Fang, who had finished talking with him, had already started to move slowly in the tent.

"The regent does not kill the prisoners. We are the people of Daguang. The people of Turan must die, but we are not." Lao Fang mentioned Jiang Bang's attitude towards the rebels before, and he let out a long cry:
"Even if you are doing hard labor, you still have a life. If you have a life, you have hope. But if you really become a stepping stone for the Turan people, you won't even be able to leave a whole body..."

Words like this quickly spread in King Xuan's camp.Everyone maintained a rare tacit understanding, never mentioning who said it, but they all knew it well.

Just as Lao Lin thought before, no one wants to die—if they want to live, they have to find a way!
And this kind of united attitude made King Xuan know nothing about it.He discussed the battle plan with the third prince Turan, and finally, on a dark and stormy night, he launched a general attack!

"The enemy is coming!"

"The enemy is coming!"

The soldiers guarding the city of Hengzhou responded quickly when they noticed the movements of King Xuan's army.

First, the people guarding the city gate arrived quickly, and then news spread one after another, and everyone started to act according to the previously arranged city defense plan.

Jiang Bang stayed up all night in the tent with Song Hui and others.When they heard the news of the enemy's attack, everyone's eyes lit up—it's finally here!
"Song Hui, arm your defenses. Zhou Si, take people around and disrupt their pace. The rest of you, follow the original plan." Jiang Si ordered in an orderly manner.

"The last will obey!"

Jiang Si was not chaotic in the face of danger, and the soldiers were also fearless in the face of danger.Everyone walked like flying, and responded and acted quickly in accordance with prior drills and preparations.

The soldiers on the tower kept throwing stones down.It doesn't matter where you climbed, anyway, just close your eyes and cast down.

In Song Hui's words, at this time, you don't need to worry about accuracy, all you need is momentum!

The orderly resistance of Hengzhou soldiers made King Xuan feel the crisis.Especially when their people kept swarming up, but still didn't pry open the city gate, he felt the pressure even more.

But fortunately, they have a large number of people, even if they use people to pave the way, they can still consume Jiang Bang's troops!

As long as he persists, he will be able to do it!
The third prince of Turan had the same idea as him, what's more, those who rushed to the front were all the troops of King Xuan, and their soldiers from Turan were all behind, so he didn't care how fierce and cruel the battle was.

As long as the person sacrificed is not theirs, that's enough.

"Little Huzi!" Lao Lin pulled the little Huzi back, and then dodged the sharp arrows that kept flying from above.With this inexperienced soldier, he hid left and right, and finally when he saw the panic in the opponent's eyes, he made up his mind:
"Damn it, I won't fight anymore!"

The white flag hidden on the chest was raised high.When one person starts, countless others follow.After a while, the bottom became a vast expanse of whiteness!
"Stop shooting!"

Song Hui looked at those flying white flags, and smiled in his heart, but his face was very serious, "The situation of the enemy army has changed, and there is a temporary truce!"

King Xuan was dumbfounded in the back, not to mention the teacup, he even wanted to break the saber he carried with him to vent his anger, "What's going on? Why didn't you stop fighting?"

After seeing the white flag of surrender, he was almost caught up in one breath, and roared angrily, "Why surrender, do you want to die?!"

He has calculated thousands of times, but he has not counted the hearts of these flesh and blood.

King Xuan was not strict in governing the army, and he did not treat the army well. Everyone followed him because they wanted to have a bite to eat.But now it's a matter of life and death, facing King Xuan who wants to take them as scapegoats, it doesn't seem to be that important whether they eat or not.

Lao Lin and Lao Fang looked at each other, and shouted at Song Hui on the tower: "King Xuan colluded with Turan, he is a traitor of Daguang. I don't want to join forces with others, so I ask you to surrender, and ask the regent to let me live!" "

As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers behind shouted: "Please let the regent let me wait for a way out!"
