Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 324
Winter is approaching, and there is a hint of coolness in the air. Under the gray sky, tens of thousands of soldiers who participated in the rebellion stood crookedly on the large school grounds. Their armor was torn, and dark red blood oozes from their white bandages. The soldiers' morale was low, their eyes glazed over, like walking dead.

"The general is here—" the stellar officer's voice was loud and high-pitched, reaching everyone's ears.

Surrounded by the generals, Lin Chuan came slowly. Lin Chuan, who was still weak, was wearing a black armor and a black cloak. Although he staggered, his eyes were burning.

Lin Chuan had only one thing to do when he came to the temporary camp, and that was to give these soldiers who made mistakes a chance, a chance to survive. According to the military law, the rebels would be killed!But Lin Chuan couldn't bear these soldiers who followed him to die by his own sword.

As a soldier, the ideal destination is to die on the battlefield shrouded in horse leather. It is a shame for a soldier to die at the hands of his own people.

Seeing Lin Chuan's arrival, these soldiers with low morale and dull eyes felt complicated. They used to be the most valiant troops under Lin Chuan's command, but they met again in this way.

Lin Chuan stepped onto the high platform and appeared in the sight of the soldiers. Looking at the stalwart general, some soldiers broke down and cried. The soldiers expressed remorse, sadness, and self-blame. The last time I saw my beloved general, many soldiers had tears in their eyes.

Seeing the dull-eyed soldiers standing crookedly on the huge school field, and looking at their broken and bloody armor, the soldiers' bodies shivered in the cold wind.

Lin Chuan's eyes slowly passed over these soldiers who made mistakes, and the soldiers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at them.

"Are you still the brave fighters under my Lin Chuan?! Formation—" Lin Chuan looked at the soldiers standing at random, let go of his throat and yelled, and his voice spread far behind the queue.

"Array—" Dozens of Guards Battalion soldiers roared in unison, their voices rolling like thunder.

These rebel soldiers came to announce their death sentence because of Lin Chuan, but they didn't expect Lin Chuan to ask them to line up, and they were a little stunned. They looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Tiehui Qianren Chang Liuzi already knew that Lin Chuan would not kill them. Seeing the unresponsive soldiers, he immediately shouted: "Array—" and raised his right fist as he spoke.

Although the soldiers are now sad and desperate, with a heavy heart, but as soldiers, they still wear black uniforms, so they still habitually move closer to Saturday.

Led by Liu Zi, tens of thousands of soldiers quickly formed a huge square formation.

"Straighten your chest!" Lin Chuan roared loudly.

Following Lin Chuan's order, these soldiers who were originally low in morale and full of despair raised their chests again, and stood in the army formation. Seeing the orderly formation, Lin Chuan nodded with satisfaction. They have not forgotten their roots.

The soldiers were stunned, all eyes were on Lin Chuan, not knowing what Lin Chuan wanted to do.

Lin Chuan on the high platform cursed slowly under the gaze of everyone: "As soldiers of Nanchuan, what did you look like just now? You're so crooked, you really embarrass Lin Chuan!"

Hearing Lin Chuan's scolding, the soldiers lowered their heads in shame. Since they were disarmed and imprisoned here, according to the general situation, there was only one death word, so they didn't even care that they were Nanchuan soldiers. They just stayed here and waited to die. They never thought that they were still a Nanchuan soldier.

"You participated in the rebellion and killed many robes. Some people persuaded me to kill you, because the military law stipulates that the rebels will be beheaded! Do you have any objections?!" Lin Chuan asked loudly.

In silence, tens of thousands of soldiers lowered their once proud heads in silence, and many broke down and cried.

"But I, Lin Chuan, decided to pardon you—"

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, the tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly became noisy. After a moment of ecstasy, these soldiers who were determined to die were ecstatic. Their dull eyes were full of life again. They were so excited that they couldn't restrain themselves , breathing quickly.

"Do you know why I, Lin Chuan, want to pardon you?!"

The soldiers shook their heads. According to military law, they should be executed.

Lin Chuan looked at these soldiers with excited faces, and he raised his voice: "Because I know that you were bewitched by Robben, it's not your fault, but I am kind, and I will give you a chance to reform!"

Over the past few days, these soldiers who participated in the rebellion have encountered cynicism. Although they are full of grievances, they have nowhere to tell them. Now someone has finally spoken a fair word for them. , The corners of the eyes are full of tears.

They didn't want to participate in the rebellion, but in that chaotic situation, all kinds of news were flying all over the sky, and no one came out to explain. They could only act according to their own judgment. They never thought of betraying Lin Chuan or the Nanchuan Army. I heard that Lin Chuan was killed because he just wanted to avenge Lin Chuan. They were involved in the conspiracy. They were unwilling to be executed as rebels, but they had nowhere to redress their grievances. Now that Lin Chuan has spoken out about their grievances, how can they Can make them not moved.

Seeing these soldiers who were grateful to Lin Chuan, Li Yunshan, chief of staff, admired Lin Chuan even more in his heart. If they were killed, the strength of the army would be weakened. Now that Lin Chuan gave them hope of survival, these soldiers who escaped from death would become Lin Chuan's most staunch follower.

"Thank you, General, for not killing me! I swear here, my son, that from now on, my life will belong to the general!" Tie Hui Qianren Chang Liuzi expressed his gratitude loudly.

"Thank you, General, for not killing me!" Tens of thousands of soldiers who participated in the rebellion shouted in unison, kneeling on the ground, expressing their gratitude to Lin Chuan.

The generals who originally advocated killing these soldiers also changed their minds at this moment. They deeply admired Lin Chuan's tolerance and foresight, and were also full of admiration for Xue Wen who prevented them from killing them. What came was the effect of the sincere service of tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Capital crimes can't be avoided, but living crimes can't be escaped. You can't forgive the dead brothers—Lin Chuan continued.

"Willing to accept all punishments!" Being able to survive is already a great joy. How could they not punish them? Instead, they have always felt guilty in their hearts and lived in guilt all their lives. So when they heard Lin Chuan say that they would be punished, they all nodded and were willing to take the punishment voluntarily. .

"From today onwards, you need to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds. You will be incorporated into the vanguard battalion. If you kill one enemy, you can return to the original army."

The Pioneer Battalion has always been a cannon fodder battalion. Every time they fight, they rush to the forefront and have the most deaths. Now these pardoned rebel soldiers are incorporated into the Pioneer Battalion, mainly to calm the dissatisfaction within the Legion. Tell them a truth, there is a price to pay for doing something wrong.

"I would like to atone for myself for the pioneer dead!" Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down in unison.

Lin Chuan didn't know that he wanted to give these erring soldiers a warning, not to make mistakes easily in the future, and put them into the vanguard battalion, but he got a strong infantry team, which eventually grew into his right-hand man.

The Pioneer Death Battalion has become a special existence in Lin Chuan's army. They are the rebels who were pardoned by Lin Chuan, and they are also Lin Chuan's most staunch supporters. Death, in the continental war, became the most casualty unit of Lin Chuan's army, and also became the most powerful unit under Lin Chuan's command. Once the vanguard battalion came out, blood would flow into rivers.
