Chapter 8
How cruel the war is, Gao Yihuan had never imagined before.

In his previous cognition, not many people came to tell him that war is cruel.

They sing the praises of war, but do not reveal the cruelty of war and the trampling of life.As a result, many people like war and clamor for war. They often presumptuously bring themselves into the winning side, without thinking about it. In a real fight, most of them will die first.

Many people are not afraid of war, but rather excited when they hear about war, forgetting that war is the most extreme and ugly thing among human beings.

Gao Yihuan is undoubtedly one of them. He usually brings himself into the role of general and commander-in-chief, but unfortunately, he is now just a pawn.

Throughout April, Gao Yihuan cleaned up the battlefield under the city. He did the whole process from collecting the corpses to removing the armor and burying them. Batch after batch of corpses of the invaders were transported back for burial, and there were 2 dead.

At first he was shocked and uncomfortable, but before long, he gradually became numb to death, and his whole being was a little mechanical and trance.

In May, Gao Yihuan and his group finally bid farewell to the task of collecting the corpses, but he did not get rid of it, but ushered in an even more fucking thing.

Gao Yihuan learned from a leader who was rescued by him that they were the same group of people who collected the corpses before Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan collected their corpses in April, and someone else collected Gao Yihuan's corpses in May.

Gao Yihuan, who understood it, was shocked, the thief is so fucking cruel.

The vagrant riots in the late Ming Dynasty were deeply influenced by the reactionary novel "Water Margin". The leaders of the rogue bandits all had their own nicknames. For a while, there was a saying that Gao Yingxiang led the 72 Tiangangs and Zhang Xianzhong led the 36 Dishas.

Luo Rucai's Jianghu nickname is Cao Cao. He is a more strategic person among the thieves, and he is also a great leader second only to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

Although Li Zi is the leader of the bandits in Henan right now, the group of bandits is actually a cooperative relationship.

Doing justice for heaven and killing corrupt officials are all slogans. They just took a fancy to Kaifeng's wealth and wealth, and they came together to rob families and houses. They had no other purpose, and they didn't want to protect Li Zicheng as emperor.

However, as literati such as Li Yan joined the turmoil with the Confucian sentiment of helping the world, stabilizing the world, and ending the war, and intending to change the nature of the rogues, the rogues in Henan gradually changed.

Li Yan's goal was to establish a new dynasty, and Li Zicheng finally understood what he was going to do.

To transform from thieves to political power, we must first establish a management system, and it is naturally impossible to continue to be the same as before.

If Li Zicheng wants to ensure the absolute leadership of the team, he must weaken and get rid of some big leaders among the thieves.

Many people in history did the same thing, only some people killed heroes after they succeeded, and some began to calculate before they succeeded, and Li Zicheng undoubtedly belonged to the latter.

Luo Rucai was a fool for the continuous attack at this time, and he also realized Li Zicheng's plan.

The heavy casualties in the headquarters made Luo Rucai, He Yilong and others very dissatisfied, and began to have opinions on Li Zicheng, the leading brother.

They came to Bianliang to make a fortune, not to die, so they were unwilling to let the troops attack the city.

In order to appease them, Li Zicheng could only increase the investment of his own troops, so that other thieves leaders could see that Lao Li didn't just let everyone contribute, he also put in effort.

However, Li Zicheng was reluctant to part with the troops in the old battalion, so he could only use the peripheral troops attached to the fifth battalion.

Unfortunately, Liu Heizi's team happened to be in the sequence, and it was still the main force.

Only then did Gao Yihuan understand that for more than half a month, noodles were not eaten for free, just like pigs that have been fattened and must be killed. These hungry people are full and their strength has almost recovered, so they have to die for King Chuang up.

For Li Zicheng and his like, Gao Yihuan had a sense of superiority and contempt in his heart at first, but now he has no temper at all.

Chuangjun has a unique set of methods to expand the army and absorb core troops, which is completely different from what Gao Yihuan had planned in his mind. became the main force.

The previous batch of corpse collectors had eaten their fill for a while, and they were probably taken to the battlefield to train, and now it was Gao Yihuan's turn.

On the battlefield, Gao Yihuan was surprised to find that although the method of breaking into the army was cruel, it was really effective, especially for the old-style army, even honest farmers, after a few rushes, they would gradually become able to fight.

The battlefield is a very wonderful thing. After a few rounds, the appearance of Gao Yihuan and his subordinates has changed a lot. It is much better than what he does in training.

On this day, under the city of Kaifeng, [-] to [-] intruders formed a formation three miles away from the city wall, with flags flying in front of the formation, mainly the troops affiliated to the old battalion, as well as Li Yan and other powerful people from Henan.

There are more than 3 people, the formation is relatively scattered, and there are also no elite soldiers. The purpose is still to consume the Kaifeng army.

Gao Yihuan was wearing a cotton armor with a big hole in his chest.It was left by the predecessor of this armor, and now it has been passed on to him, but even so, it is still considered good. The dozens of brothers behind him are all cloth clothes and a blunt knife.

"Stand up for me." Liu Heizi's roar sounded from the front row.

Gao Yihuan stood in the queue and raised his head. Liu Heizi kicked down a soldier who was not standing up. If I don’t kill you, the people who supervise the battle will also kill you!”

He watched the soldiers in front of him cringe, and was about to say a few more words of encouragement, but the drums of the Chinese army had already started beating, so Liu Heizi could only draw his sword and roared, "Come on for me."

Gao Yihuan's face twitched for a while, until the armored soldiers who were in charge of the formation came over and kicked him, Gao Yihuan raised his knife, picked up a wooden sign, and led his subordinates to advance towards the city wall with the crowd.

This is the third time he participated in the siege, and the spirit of the whole person is completely different from the beginning.Although he hasn't killed anyone yet, he won't be so frightened that his legs go limp after a single shot.

At this time, less than half of his 50-man team had died, and only about [-] people remained. As he walked forward with the army, he walked slowly side by side with Gao Yizhen behind him, and then whispered: "Don't be like a man today." You are as stupid as last time, and you can’t hold back. I don’t want you to be killed by the army like Zhao Dachu, and you will approach the city wall later. We don’t have to climb up the city unless we have to. It’s important to save our lives.”

After Gao Yizhen went to the battlefield a few times, he stopped peeing. He licked his chapped lips, "Don't worry, the boss, I understand, I will protect you later."

Gao Yihuan couldn't help being moved after hearing this, "You tell the brothers behind me too." After speaking, he protected his vitals with a wooden sign and continued to move forward.

At this time, he was even expecting secretly in his heart, and quickly sent the next batch of dead people up so that they could be replaced on the battlefield.

······
In the Chuangjun camp, in the wounded camp, rows of wounded soldiers were placed on the bunk and no one cared about them. Even if they died, it took a while for someone to carry them out.

Gao Yihuan lifted the curtain, looked around for a while, and saw a bandaged man sitting in the corner, striding towards him.

When the man saw him, a smile appeared on his face, "Brother Gao, why are you here? Are you overwhelmed?"

Gao Yihuan sat down next to him, took out half a pancake from his arms and handed it to the man, sighed and said: "Fifty people, now only thirteen are dead, if we don't replace us, then I'm going to run away. "

"It's good if it's overcooked. If you can barely eat enough, you don't have to die." The man took the bread and nodded slightly sadly.

This man was the armored soldier Gao Yihuan rescued on the first day. His name was Wu Shizhao, and he was a small flag of the Ming army who was a thief.

In May, Liu Heizi's army participated in the siege many times. Out of 1000 people died, only more than 300 were left. They were finally replaced and became the second echelon of the Chuang army.

This indicates that they don't need to work or attack the city, and they can barely eat enough. They can be regarded as candidates for the main force of the army.

Gao Yihuan sighed with emotion, and suddenly remembered the business, so he asked: "Brother Wu, I came to you to ask you something. When you were an officer, how did your men train?"
