The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 481: Death is just a word
The little soldier was still struggling, trying to prove to the old soldier that he really heard it right.

He was pulled to a secluded place by an old soldier and slapped on the head: "You idiot!"

Xiao Bing touched his forehead and felt a little pain, and murmured: "Uncle, I really heard you right!"

The old pawn looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "I'm not deaf, so I heard it naturally, but we can't let anyone know about this, do you understand?"

Xiaobing was confused: "Why?"

"Why why!" The old pawn couldn't help but slap him again: "Where did you get so many whys? You fucking want to be a deserter, and you are still yelling everywhere."

"Do I have to wait until I kill you and throw you into the pot before you know how to shut up your stinky mouth?"

When Xiao Bing heard this, he immediately covered his mouth with a look of horror, not daring to say another word.

The Dalang on the top of the city asked Jing Li: "Sister, if you shout like this, will these people surrender?"

Jing Li looked at the camp opposite and said with a smile: "When people are absolutely hungry, they will definitely choose their instinctive desire!"

"Those who have surrendered must take off their armor and weapons when they are two hundred steps away from the city tower. Don't look back and attract those who take the opportunity to cause trouble!"

At night, the old soldier, along with the soldiers and a few villagers, quietly walked out of the camp, evading the surveillance of the patrols and heading towards the tower opposite. +
The darkness of the night simply gave these people a chance.

Halfway through the process, the soldier suddenly pulled the pants of the veteran soldier beside him. The soldier was so angry that he wanted to curse, but when he turned around, he was suddenly covered in cold sweat.

I saw a black shadow coming not far away, and the shadow was about to get closer.

The soldier silently squeezed the old soldier's skinny hand: What should I do?
Holding the rusty hatchet at his waist, the old pawn decided that even if he had to fight to the death, he would have to send his nephew away so that he could at least leave a heir to his family.

The group of black figures quickly approached. Both sides drew their knives, but no one dared to move.

Seeing that the other party was silent, the old pawn subconsciously pushed his nephew, and the group continued walking to the opposite side.

The group of black shadows saw that the old soldier and his group did not take action, so they silently retracted their swords, and the two groups moved forward in the same direction.

I met several groups of people along the way. At this time, everyone had a tacit understanding, glanced at each other, and then moved forward quietly.

At dawn, cooking started again on the tower opposite. I don't know what was being stewed today. The aroma was like a glutton that aroused people's hearts, making it even more uncomfortable.

Due to the days of inactivity, many soldiers were too hungry to get up, so they lay down in the tents to save energy.

The centurion and others on duty didn't pay attention either.

One of the captains accidentally felt that there seemed to be fewer people eating porridge today, so he decided to go to several camps to see if they were all starving to death.

He was startled at this sight: "Where is this person?"

The centurion on duty was also dumbfounded. Where were the people?

Soon, he knew where the person was.

Because the other side started shouting again: "I am Er Maozi from Chen Liujun's Ding Camp. I escaped with my uncle yesterday!"

"Brothers, Princess Changling really didn't lie. My uncle, I, and a few neighbors not only had white rice, but also braised pork and braised pork ribs!"

"Brothers, the pork ribs stewed on the tower today are for us to eat!"

The centurion put up a pergola and looked towards the tower opposite. He could vaguely see a boy on top, talking and seemed to be eating.

The captain was so angry that he scolded his mother: "These bastards dare to defect. Come on, kill all the patrols on duty last night!"

The centurion standing behind him winked at the two centurions beside him.

Four or five people suddenly pounced on the commander. Some covered his mouth, pressed his hands and feet, and some directly stabbed his heart with a knife.The several men held down the commander and cooperated very well. The commander kicked his legs and soon lost his breath.

The centurion who had made the attack earlier wiped his sweat and signaled several people to drag the centurion into the camp.

One of the centurions turned pale and said, "What should we do? Let's kill him, and we will definitely die?"

Another said bitterly: "If you don't kill him, can you escape death?"

Chen Liujun implemented the rule of sitting in a company. If someone in the same camp ran away, the rest would be executed.

If everyone runs away, the immediate boss will inevitably die.

Therefore, as soon as the centurion heard that the commander of thousands wanted to kill the patrolling soldiers, he knew that if he was investigated, he would not be able to escape death, so he teamed up with several centurions to kill the people.

"Escape is a death, and not escaping is also a death. Now it seems there is no third way!" Someone said with a queasy look.

The centurion who made the attack earlier said with a stern face: "Who is familiar with the patrol battalion leader last night? Find a way to call him over!"

Someone said weakly: "He and I are from the same hometown, I'll give it a try!"

The leader of the patrol camp was quickly called over. As soon as he entered the camp, he found the dead body on the ground and immediately turned around and fled.

But he was grabbed by his fellow villager: "Don't run away yet, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, no one of us can escape!"

Then he told what the captain had said before, and he found that the leader of the patrol battalion was not stupid.

He was on patrol last night, and so many people escaped. The higher-ups blamed him. Not only was he unable to escape death, but none of his brothers, a total of a hundred or ten, could escape.

The leader of the patrol battalion said with a wry smile: "What do you want?"

The leading centurion said harshly: "What else can we do? No matter what we do now, we are going to die, so why not fight to the death and find a way out? Maybe we can go to the opposite side to eat meat and drink wine!"

The leader of the patrol battalion had no other choice. He rolled up his sleeves and thrust the knife into the ground: "That's it. I'll go talk to the brothers and we'll take action tonight!"

This kind of thing can affect the whole body. You can't go to the other side to eat meat by yourself and let your brothers take the blame.

At nightfall, Dou Wenshao drank the last drop of wine in the flask, frowned and asked the deputy general next to him: "Have you received any news? How long will it take for the army to arrive?"

The deputy general replied: "The army has been on its way for several days. Even the fastest advance troops will take seven or eight days to arrive!"

Dou Wenshao frowned and said, "Tomorrow I will take someone to collect some food nearby to see if there are any farmers left, and try to find a way to get some food!"

Otherwise, let alone the people below, even he would be unable to bear it.

The deputy general said: "Anywhere within a hundred miles that is close to the jurisdiction of Chang'an City has been cleared by Princess Changling. The crops in the fields are harvested before they are even ripe."

"These people left very simply. Even their houses were set on fire. It seems they don't plan to come back in the future!"

Dou Wenshao smashed the wine bottle on the ground: "This woman is so damn cruel!"

Jingli, who had been scolded harshly, stood on the tower, her hair blown by the night wind, and her eyes illuminated by the fire as bright as stars.

Jing Li put her hands behind her hands and said to the people around her: "There were so many people who came here yesterday, and there will definitely be more people coming tonight. We must do a good job of accepting the prisoners!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw flames shooting into the sky from the camp opposite, and the shouts of death came from the earth-shattering sounds.

Jing Li was stunned: "What's going on?"
