The happy life of the devil and the devil

The trouble started among the prisoners of the Flying Cavalry Guards.

After winning the battle, he made a fortune, and Yuan Shao was also very generous in dividing the spoils.The Jinwu Guard and Habayashi Guard directly under the royal family, as well as the Xuanjia Guard who won the first victory in this battle, naturally got the biggest shares. A large number of Dingkou cattle and sheep were allocated.

Once the loot is distributed, it is up to each ministry to transport it home safely.

The old practice on the grassland, the defeated tribes, naturally became the slaves of the victors.Therefore, these captives didn't resist much at first, and followed their new masters obediently, trekking on the snowy field with one foot high and one foot low.These days, Dingkou is a more valuable property than horses, cattle and sheep, and no one wants to lose it for nothing.Therefore, if conditions permit, the ministries still try their best to feed them and clothe them warmly.Even if you take it home and sell it, you hope it will look better, don't you?

It's a pity that when the luggage team failed to arrive on time and the fodder and charcoal gradually became scarce, the lives of the prisoners were not so easy.

The Jinwu Guard and the Habayashi Guard are alright, the emperor's personal guards have more stocks than others, and even if there is a little leakage between the fingers, it can't feed the captives, but it will always keep them from causing trouble.Tian Cewei is also directly under the imperial family, the clan leads the army, and their family wealth is somewhat richer. After following the example, the prisoners in their hands can finally live well.

From the very beginning, Xuanjiawei repeatedly preached to the captives that when they returned to the fief, as long as they obeyed the orders, they would be able to eat well, and if they did well in a few years, they would still have their day ahead.There are many ex-captives of Haixi Savages who came forward to tell their stories. Two years ago, they were also prisoners of war who were tied to tree trunks and left their homes.

There is not enough food, and the sheep that are driving are slaughtered and eaten now.There was not enough charcoal, so I hurried to the hills forty or fifty miles away, cut down trees in batches, tied the branches into sleds and dragged them back.Not to mention, starting from the shortage of luggage, the soldiers of Xuanjiawei gave up half of the tents to the prisoners who were struggling in the cold wind and had thin and ragged clothes, so that they squeezed into the large tent of the Chinese army to sleep on the floor. .

The days of full food and hope are ahead, and the masters have tried their best to take care of them. Even if they are cold and hungry now, everyone gritted their teeth and endured it. At most, they hugged the sheep tightly to get some warmth.Making trouble here?crazy!

In the end, only Dingkou, assigned by the Flying Cavalry Guards, was left, and life was the most difficult.

The flying cavalry guards belonging to the Dingling Department, like the Xi people, gallop outside the customs all the year round, making a living as nomads.Even, because the region is close to the Northeast, the colder than the Xi people, the soldiers who are used to braving the wind and snow are particularly rough.Often the Jinwu Guards and Xuanjia Guards are all wrapped up tightly, and the fighters of the Flying Cavalry Guards can still have their upper body naked, shouting and laughing wildly in the snow, fighting with horns as a show, and everyone is covered in snow and mud .

Such a warrior naturally didn't feel that the captives who were staggering on the snow field couldn't stand it any longer.What are you kidding?It's early spring now, and although it hasn't thawed yet, the wind blowing on my face has softened a lot.In the coldest winter, the clothes worn by the shepherds in their family were not much better than those of this group of people!

It's a pity that there is no fear of difficulties in this world, only comparisons.

The same was defeated, the same was captured, and even a few days ago, they were brothers who were warming by the same fire pit.Just because they were distributed to different masters, other people slaughtered the sheep without hesitation—even if they had to stuff raw meat into their mouths because of insufficient charcoal, it was better than grabbing a piece of meat from the ground when they were too hungry. Take the snow; there are tents on top of other people's houses - even if twenty or thirty people are crowded together, unable to move, it is better than curling up in the snow by yourself, with the cold wind blowing straight on your face.

Tired and hungry to the extreme, this bit of difference became the last straw that crushed the will.

Struggling together to move forward on the snowy field, the prisoners of war in other camps, only one person out of a hundred would fall down, and as they walked, one out of ten would suddenly fall down, despite being beaten with whips and sticks. don't get up anymore...

If things go on like this, how many brothers will be left when they get out of the snow field?What's more, they can't get out, their master's pasture is also on this boundless grassland!

Left and right is death, so why not give it a try.If you get the horses and food, even if you can escape a few!Even if you can't escape, you can earn money if you cut one, and you can make money if you cut two!

By the time Yuan Shao and Ling Yucheng were alarmed out of the tent, there was already a loud bang, several barrels of spirits used to keep out the cold exploded, and even the nearby tents were set ablaze.Under the firelight, the ragged captives are waving all kinds of belongings they have caught indiscriminately, desperately rushing towards the one-tenth of a ten thousandth freedom in the vast snowfield.

The fighting continued all night.

The flying cavalry guards who were caught off guard quickly reacted.However, they were at a disadvantage in number and failed to maintain vigilance at all times, so they did not organize a counterattack in the first place.After wearing the bow and knife under the scolding of the officer, and getting on the horse that is too late to saddle the bridle, looking around, the robes around him have been reduced by half.

Those who rushed to the camp included the prisoners who thought they could not escape and were willing to pave the way for their comrades to escape with their lives, as well as the war horses that had been untied and frightened by the flames and explosions.

Such chaos even soon spread to other prisoner camps.

Who doesn't yearn for freedom?Who wants to bow their heads and knees, and be someone else's slave for the rest of their lives and even their children and grandchildren?Defeated and captured, with a knife and gun on his neck is helpless. Now that there is a chance to escape, who doesn't want to give it a try?What's more, among those who are fighting and fleeing, there are also their own brothers, friends, fathers and even sons...

"If you're a good guy, fight with them!" In the cold wind, a familiar North Man accent hoarsely shouted: "The South Man is weak, let's beat him five or six times, even if they have knives and guns, they can't beat us!"

"They have few people. If we want to prevent us from turning over, they will definitely attack us first! Brothers, if you want to live, fight with them!"

The fire spread, horses neighed and people shouted.Tiance Guard's captive camp was the first to make noise, and immediately after, the prisoners of Jinwu Guard and Habayashi Guard also started to commotion uneasy.

The soldiers who could understand the Beiman dialect turned their attention to the dark prisoner camp.For those who didn't understand, the authentic Southern barbarians like Ling Yucheng's subordinates, who hadn't learned the language of the Xi clan, clenched their swords and guns in unison in this chilling and tense atmosphere.

Flying onto the top of the tent, Yuan Shao, who was looking up and down, was so angry that his face turned black.

What a glorious thing this great victory is!Beheading the Great Khan of the Northern Man and capturing the Golden Wolf Banner, it is definitely worth going back to pay homage to the Taimiao!The battle is over, and the booty is almost brought out of the snowy field, so at the end of the day, it will discredit him as the emperor!

The supplies from the pass are almost here!Seeing that in two days' time, he would be completely relieved, but he started fighting in the middle of the night today...he planned to relax at night!

Annoyance after annoyance, stalls have to clean up.Seeing that the Flying Cavalry Guards were stretched to the left and right, unable to stop the prisoners who started to flee in disorder, and the other battalions were also beginning to be unstable, Yuan Shao finally let out a long cry, and then mobilized his internal strength, and his voice spread throughout the snowfield:

"Jin Wuwei, the whole army is in formation!"

"Habayashi Guard, Xuanjia Guard, Tiance Guard, half stick to their positions, and half hunt down escaped slaves!"

"All captives, those who stay where they are, are my people, and no one is allowed to be killed without reason! Those who flee or resist will be killed!"

After a few orders were passed down, the entire camp started to move in an orderly manner.Ling Yucheng, who was also carried to the top of the tent, stood behind Yuan Shao holding his sword, watching the blackness and silence of the Xuanjiawei's central army tent, while the lights gradually lit up on the side, watching the Xuanjiawei's prisoner-of-war camp An Ran Ningtie, With a sigh of relief, he had enough time to turn his gaze back.

High and low shouts sounded scattered from several military camps.The majestic body of the Jinwu Guards towered over the snow field, which was naturally an iron wall. Just looking at it gave people an unshakable feeling.The light of the flame was reflected into the eyes by the large shield of Sen Leng, and even the prisoners of war who rushed over frantically stopped in panic at this moment.

As long as the imperial camp is not impulsive, no matter how ruthless the other places are, it will not turn the sky upside down.Ling Yucheng smiled silently, and turned his attention to the other camps.Amidst the continuous yelling, the prisoner camp gradually quieted down. Although a few sparse screams could be heard occasionally, it was clearly irrelevant to the overall situation.

In the darkness farther away, several fire dragons galloped out and circled around.The cavalry holding on to the torches folded like arms wrapped around each other. On the snowy field, the sound of shouting and killing drifted down with the cold wind, mixed with the sharp sound of the horsemen blowing their whistles.Outside the circle of fire, the dots of light gradually faded away, it was clear that the stragglers were chasing and killing the fleeing prisoners of war.

It seems that there is no need for him to make a move.

Silently estimated the time, from the time of the chaos to the present, it has probably been a while. As for the capture of all the prisoners of war and the thorough cleaning up, it is estimated that it will not be until tomorrow morning.Standing on the top of the tent in the middle of the night is not a problem, Ling Yucheng moved half a step forward, before he could speak, Yuan Shao had already turned his head and said:

"The overall situation is settled, let's go down."

"Yes--"

Before he could say the second word, his waist tightened, and he flew up involuntarily.The sound of the wind filled my ears, and my feet were empty, and then I stepped on the cold ground.

Again!

It's not that I can't go up such a high tent!Not to mention not coming down!What is the purpose of jumping up and down with his arms around people without saying a word——

The arms around the waist have not yet been released, and the hooves of the horses are pounding. The camp leaders who came to report to the saint will come in a file, and one by one they will get off their horses in front of them.
