Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 18 Going into battle

That night, Lu Ye and Wang Hu lived on tenterhooks. They were in a bandit camp and didn't know what to do with them.

The guards at the door paid no attention to the two people being imprisoned. The two guards only focused on chatting among themselves.

One of the guards beamed and said with excitement which village they had broken into in the past few days and robbed a lot of food and a few big fat pigs. If they could give them a pig tail to try, it would be very beautiful...

Another guard drooled and said that he heard that the landowner's wife had very white and tender skin, and it felt smoother than pork belly...

They also said that there have been several envoys from other bandit kings coming and going recently, and maybe several of them will join forces to attack the county town. There is a lot of food in the county town, and there are also many beautiful women...

Then the two sighed again, it's a pity that the old king is gone, otherwise with the appeal of the old king, he can gather a few people casually, it will not be difficult to break through the county seat, and everyone will not be trapped in this broken mountain col.

Lu Ye listened attentively in the woodshed.

You probably understand that the old king is dead, and the new king is not as strong as before, and has not yet developed to the extent of relying on hard power to conquer cities and stir up the world.

I just don’t know why this bandit became a big thief when it spread to the ears of the government.

The two soldiers at the door had limited information, and they turned over white steamed buns and woman Bai.

There are no new tricks, and you will get bored after listening to it too much.

The two of them could only wait cross-legged in the woodshed. As a result, they neither waited for Commander Du nor the "heroine" lady.

The bandits ignored the two of them, and no one brought them water or food. They seemed to have forgotten about them!

Fortunately, Lu Ye and Wang Hu were hungry, so they hid a few meat patties close to their bodies.

The two of them were hungry, so they took out a piece of meat pie to share.

Wang Hu: "Brother, Commander Du won't break his word and kill the two of us as slaves to be buried with him, right?"

Lu Ye was not confident enough, so the two shared another piece of meat pie.

Wang Hu: "Brother, if you really want our brothers to die tomorrow, why don't you allow us to become dead ghosts?"

So the two simply finished the remaining meatloaf and then fell asleep.

The next day, the horn sounded in the camp, and we could hear the noise outside.

The door to the woodshed was opened, and the guards came in and roughly pulled the two people out.

But he saw the "heroine" lady riding a horse outside, surrounded by several tall, thick-looking women with slutty faces protecting her.

A woman threw two broken wooden shields on the ground.

Miss "Xia Xia" said coldly.

"Pick it up. If you want to join my camp, you must make meritorious deeds!"

"Don't you want to submit your name? I'll give you a chance today."

After saying this, the young lady turned around and left with the ladies.

Lu Ye and Wang Hu were confused and picked up their shields, and were pushed forward by the guards.

I saw a group of people in the open space of the camp. There were about a few hundred people. They were all shabby and skinny men in rags.

The guards pushed Lu Ye and Wang Hu into the crowd. Lu Ye looked around and found that some people had red faces and excited expressions, while others had trembling lips and trembling legs.

There were more than a dozen armor-piercing horsemen on horseback, and a hundred infantrymen holding tattered swords and shields to suppress order.

A dozen more infantrymen entered the crowd carrying a pile of wooden sticks, and each man was given one.

Lu Ye weighed the wooden stick in his hand, bent it, and whittled it casually twice, but it was far worse than the wooden stick he had carefully sharpened before.

Everyone around them had a "wooden gun" in their hands and were all clothed in cloth. In comparison, he and Wang Hu had an extra broken shield, which was considered a good thing.

There were many empty sacks and long ladders placed in the open space.

A trumpet sounded.

The crowd carried the long ladders, took the sacks, and set off with the horse team. They walked around in circles for an unknown amount of time. They stopped to rest on the way and each person shared a piece of grain pancake to replenish their strength.

Then someone ordered them to fill the sacks with soil and carry them on their backs.

Fortunately, Lu Ye and Wang Hu held a gun in one hand and a shield in the other, so they did not have to do this hard work.

Not far ahead, I turned a corner and a village appeared in front of me.

The village was surrounded by earthen walls and trenches were dug in the ground. Villagers were watching on the earthen walls. When they saw a large group of refugees approaching, they immediately beat gongs and drums. The whole village was filled with cries and cries.

A bandit who looked like a leader rode in front of the crowd and shouted loudly.

"You all want to be foot soldiers! You all want to fill your stomach!"

"According to King Chuang's order, as long as you survive three battles without dying, you can be promoted from a servant to an infantryman!"

"Either capture this village or die!"

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

"Now, charge me!"

The horn sounded.

Huge shouts erupted from the crowd. Lu Ye and Wang Hu couldn't help themselves, being surrounded by the crowd and rushing forward.

Only now did he understand why the lady gave him and Wang Hu two broken shields to go to the battlefield. With these shields, they could have one more life than others!

The crowd rushed forward in a chaotic manner, but there was no plan.

A gong sounded from the earthen wall of the village opposite, and a dozen long arrows were shot out sparsely.

As Lu Ye was running, he saw the refugee in front of him suddenly screamed, got an arrow in his head, and fell to the ground dead. He quickly raised his shield to his head.

Wang Hu leaned over and gasped.

"Brother, follow me."

He stepped forward in two or three steps, blocking Lu Ye's body. He picked up the stick and was about to charge.

Who would have thought that when the crowd saw the villagers shooting arrows and killing their companions, they suddenly burst into flames, turning around and running away like the ebb of the sea.

Wang Hu didn't react and rushed forward a few steps. There was no one around.

Got it!

His wooden shield was immediately hit by several arrows.

Lu Ye hurriedly pulled him to retreat - everyone else had run away, so wouldn't it be in vain for the two of them to rush forward?

Behind, facing the fleeing crowd.

The bandits, horsemen, and infantry immediately wielded their swords and shot arrows, killing those who were running away at the front!

The leader's eyes were red, and he roared with his sword.

"Those who dare to retreat will all die!"

"Push it to me!"

He clamped the horse's belly and led the horsemen forward. The infantry followed with shouts. When he rushed into the crowd, he couldn't help but swing his sword in a chopping posture.

The crowd was frightened and could only turn around and charge again.

Lu Ye pulled Wang Hu, and the two of them ran in the middle of the crowd, neither leaning forward nor behind.

This time the village shot more long arrows, but they could not stop the surging crowd.

There were many people carrying sacks in front of them. When they reached the ditch dug in front of the village, they immediately threw the sacks down and hurriedly turned around and retreated.

But the crowd was huddled together without any order at all. The refugees behind them pushed forward, forcing the refugees who had just thrown down their sacks to fall down the trench.

The ditch in the village was not deep, but there were sharp wooden stakes buried in it. Many of the refugees who fell down were penetrated through their bodies and screamed in agony.

There were horsemen and infantry pressing down on the formation, and the crowd continued to surge forward. People continued to be squeezed into the trench. Dozens of people immediately disappeared from the ground, and their bodies and sacks filled up the trench.

Lu Ye crossed the trench with the flow of people, and seemed to step on the heads of several people in the middle. There were people under his feet who let out heart-piercing screams, but he couldn't care less.

He followed Wang Hu closely and crossed the ditch. The earthen wall in the village was only about ten feet high.

The refugees put up the ladder.

Many people roared and rushed forward with wooden sticks.

Many young men from the village appeared behind the earth wall. They knew the consequences of the village being breached, and they all waved their swords, rakes, forks and other agricultural tools.

A man who looked like a landowner and gentry was also standing on the wall, waving a long sword to boost morale.

Puff puff puff!

Blood flowers bloomed, and the first wave of refugees who climbed up the long ladder and rushed to the earth wall screamed and landed.

However, a second wave of refugees rushed forward.

After several repeated pulls, a layer of living or dead human flesh mats were soon laid out under the long ladder. In addition to the refugees, there were also a few unlucky villagers who were injured and pulled out of the earthen wall.

Lu Ye and Wang Hu were carried by the crowd and came to the foot of the long ladder.

Wang Hu roared and rushed up on the ladder. Lu Ye also rushed up after Wang Hu, his eyes were red.

He tilted his head, and Wang Hu's shriveled butt occupied most of his view. The remaining half of his view was of the villagers shouting and fighting on the earth wall. The tools in their hands shone with the cold light of death, which was particularly dazzling.

Pfft!

Wang Hu, who was fighting in front, suddenly cried out in pain.

The body fell straight down.

Lu Ye only had time to push the shield in his hand to stop Wang Hu from rushing down and falling directly.

Wang Hu's body fell down in front of his eyes. He was almost knocked down, and the shield in his hand also fell down.

By the time Lu Ye managed to steady himself on the ladder, his vision had suddenly become clearer.

At some point, he was pushed to the forefront.

Time seemed to be frozen.

On the earthen wall, the villagers had ferocious expressions and distorted facial features. They were holding sticks and rakes to hit various vital parts of Lu Ye's body.

Lu Ye seemed to feel the malice of the whole world, and everyone in front of him wanted to kill him.

And the good brother Wang Hu who had been supporting him along the way also fell down and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

He blinked, and everything in front of him turned hazy blood red.

Then an unwilling roar erupted from his chest.

"Begging for a living..."

Lu Ye used all his strength to thrust the wooden stick upwards in his hand...
