Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 323 The grievances of the rebels

Temporary camp south of Qingmuchuan City.

The black military tents in the temporary camp in the south of the city are densely spread over a radius of two or three miles. A solid fence stands around the camp, and a sentry tower more than ten meters high towers around the camp like a giant. Although it is only a temporary camp for the rebels , but extremely strong.

More than 3 disarmed soldiers who participated in the rebellion in the past few days are detained in the makeshift camp and are now waiting for an unknown fate in the camp.

Because [-] soldiers who participated in the rebellion were detained, the entire camp was heavily guarded. In order to prevent these soldiers from rioting, the commander of the First Corps, Cistus, dispatched four infantry battalions and two cavalry battalions to arrange outside the temporary camp. If the soldiers involved in the rebellion act rashly, what will be left to them will be a bloody massacre.

"Brother Six, do you think we will die?" A ragged, blood-stained young soldier asked with his eyes full of confusion as he pushed the older veteran officer beside him.

The veteran with a scar on his face is named Liuzizi, the sixth child in his family. He used to be a slave in the imperial mausoleum. He has followed the commander-in-chief Lin Nuoyan since the uprising in Gyeonggi Province. The scar on his face is also on the run. On the way, he was scratched by a dynasty swordsman.

There are not many veterans like Liu Zi in the entire Nanchuan Army. They all crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

"I don't know if I will die, just wait, even if I die, I will admit it." Liu Zi touched the iron eagle badge on his shoulder, full of self-blame, he had never hated himself like this, hated His own hands stained with the blood of his comrades-in-arms.

A few days ago, Liuzi and their flag regiment got the news that their beloved general Lin Chuan was stabbed, and his life and death were unknown. The soldiers began to clamor and unrest, but they were suppressed by the flag battalion commander.

But soon there was new news that Lin Chuan was killed by the mastermind of the Zhao family. Everyone knew about the conflict between Lin Chuan and the Zhao family in Luoshan Province, so there was no doubt that Lin Chuan was killed by the commander of the Banner Battalion. Under the leadership, he went to Qingmuchuan to prepare to defend Linchuan.

After arriving at Qingmu River, the situation became even more complicated. There were thousands of troops gathered, and all kinds of rumors were flying in the sky. In addition, the banner battalion commander never returned after entering Qingmu River, causing the entire army to be leaderless.

Later, news came from the city that the senior generals had collectively mutinied and killed Lin Chuan. The deputy head of the army, Robben, began to mobilize troops into the city to counter the rebellion. On Saturday, their troops entered the city in anger and began to fight with their former allies. Two days, until Lin Chuan appeared and exposed Robben's lies, they didn't know on Saturday that they were the rebels and the culprit, which made them unbelievable and extremely painful.

The once glorious Nanchuan soldier has now become a rebel and a prisoner, accepting the ridicule and indifference of the friendly army. Facing the angry people, Saturday and the others are full of self-blame and bear huge grievances and pressure.

Zhou Zizi and the others felt extremely wronged in their hearts, but when they thought of killing so many robes with their own hands, they fell into deep self-blame. Because they couldn't bear the huge pressure, several soldiers had chosen to commit suicide in the past two days.

Now Saturday, they belong to the rebels who participated in the rebellion, and they are being held here. The wounded soldiers have no medical treatment, and they can't even eat enough. Facing the heavily armed guard soldiers, there is a sense of despair in the entire temporary camp. , they wait to be judged and beheaded...

"Brother, my brother is dying, can you help call a military doctor to save him, please..." An exhausted soldier begged to the guarded soldier. Beside him, a wounded soldier who was dying Lying on the ground, moaning helplessly.

"You actually want to murder the general! It would be better if you die—" The soldier in charge kicked the begging soldier in the chest, kicked him to the ground, and sneered loudly.

The entire camp was filled with a depressive and sad atmosphere, and the helpless groans of wounded soldiers could be heard from time to time, but now they are rebels, and there is no military doctor to treat them with all their strength. Facing the heavily armed elite infantry guards, they are now Can't even escape.

"The general is here—" Zhou Zi, who was in despair, suddenly heard a voice from a distance, and a large number of heavily armed black-armored soldiers came here.

Surrounded by all the generals, Lin Chuan walked slowly along the road in the camp. When he saw the soldiers squatting on the ground wearing only single clothes, their lips were black from the cold, his heart seemed to be blocked. Generally speaking, it is extremely uncomfortable. These are all soldiers who used to be me.

"Notify the logistics and immediately distribute military uniforms to protect them from the cold." Lin Chuan ordered to the general behind him.

"General, they are rebels..." Someone reminded in a low voice.

"They are just ordinary soldiers, and the rebels are Robben and the others. They are innocent—" Lin Chuan spoke loudly, stopping the generals who were about to speak.

"Sixth Banner Regiment No. 30 Banner Battalion Iron Eagle Thousand-member Chief Liu Zi met the general—" Seeing Lin Chuan approaching, Liu Zi's face was full of excitement, he tidied up his dirty military uniform, and stood at attention to salute as before.

Lin Chuan was heartbroken when he saw this leader of thousands with firm eyes and scars all over his body. They were all the bravest fighters in the past, but now they have become prisoners because of a wrong choice. .

"I have wronged you—" Lin Chuan stretched out his hand to sort out the iron eagle badge on Liu Zizi's shoulder, and spoke slowly. Lin Chuan knew the grievances of these soldiers. He knew that it was not the soldiers' fault. Now, without the command system, they can only obey Robben.

Hearing Lin Chuan's concerned words, all the grievances that Zhou Zi had endured for the past few days turned into billowing tears, choking hard to speak.

"Man, why are you crying, cheer up, you are still our brother!" Lin Chuan wiped away his tears with his own hands and encouraged him.

"General, you mean—you forgive us and don't kill us——" Liu Zi was in disbelief, he was ready to die, he thought this was the last time he saw their most beloved general.

"You are not wrong. The one who caused this incident is wrong. I, Lin Chuan, will not wrong a good person, nor will I let a bad person go. Don't worry, I understand your grievances."

Although Lin Chuan's words were neither brilliant nor exciting, they gave hope to the desperate soldiers like Zhou Zizi and the hope of surviving. Their numb eyes gradually brightened, just like the earth covered by dark clouds. Looking away, those depressed and pessimistic emotions are being covered and spread by the hope of survival.

Lin Chuan didn't know that it was precisely because of his soft-heartedness that he resisted all opinions and gave these soldiers who made mistakes a chance to reform. He gained a group of more loyal and brave soldiers. In the future continental war, Becoming the sharpest blade in his hands, they went on and on, repaying Lin Chuan with death.
