Chapter 671: What I Saw and Heard
Lai Zi took a small bite and chewed on the white-flour steamed buns specially prepared for the defectors of the Houjin Army who came over, and remembered a series of previous encounters.
He remembered very well that after he was let go by Jin Zhong, he climbed all the way to the edge of the trench dug by the Huaxia army, and it was only then that he finally dared to cheer loudly.
After revealing his identity as a defector to the Huaxia soldiers defending on the other side of the trench, Laizi was soon taken into the rammed earth wall by the Huaxia army from the wooden planks laid out.
Two soldiers of the Huaxia Army forcibly pressed him to the ground and searched him thoroughly, then tied him firmly with a rope and escorted him to the direction of Lushun Port.
Laizi still remembers that at that time, he was in a state of wandering in the world, walking along the way and watching all the scenes. If Laizi had read comics or other things, it might have been easier to express his turntable at that time, but unfortunately there were no such things in this era, and Chen Xin was also busy working all over the world, so he really didn't have time to tinker with those things.
In front of the side near the rammed earth wall, in the breastwork bunker, sat rows of warriors.
There are a lot of soldiers on duty on the rammed earth walls in front and behind the Huaxia Army, and there are also a few soldiers walking in the direction of the barrage ditch along the way, they are fully armed but do not bring camping equipment, this should be the front of the soldiers, specially used to prevent the night attack of the Tartars.
And just below the rolling rammed earth walls, there were fortifications made of logs on the trenches, and there was a faint glow of fire coming from them, and from time to time people could be seen carrying boxes of ammunition from them.
There were a lot of people coming and going in these fortifications in front of and behind the rammed earth walls.
From time to time, people with torches looked at the corpses on the ground on the battlefield that had not yet been cleaned up, and there was a scene of corpses everywhere, which was much denser than the corpses in the battlefield area between the two sides.
Most of the lost here were the corpses of Houjin soldiers who had broken through the destroyed rammed-earth wall and into behind the wall during the day.
When the auxiliaries of the Huaxia Army looked through the corpses, they would also take off the helmets of the corpses they encountered, and cut them down with a knife when they saw that it was a money rat tail.
And once the corpses of the Huaxia Army soldiers are found, they will carefully put them away. When they came across some of the bodies that had been shattered by the explosion, they would carefully wrap them in cloth and place them neatly near the second rammed earth wall for the astringent personnel to dispose of.
At the entrance to the second rammed-earth wall, Yoriko was transferred to an officer with a white armband, who looked like Dai Xiao, and the officer led him to the back of the third rammed-earth wall with two physically strong soldiers.
Laizi's memory is not bad, and he still remembers that the fortifications of the Huaxia Army were distributed and robbed, and in front of the second rammed earth wall, there was actually a wide trench, even deeper and wider than the trench in front of the first rammed earth wall.
However, after arriving at the back, it returned to roughly the same appearance as the front defense line, but the number of Huaxia troops defending the two defense lines behind was smaller, and there were still some people dressed as auxiliaries boiling water for cooking. This should be the logistics force.
Later, Laizi went to a nest.
The so-called Diwozi is a relatively simple way of living in desertified areas, generally digging a pit about one meter deep below the ground, with a square shape and an area of about two or three meters, and a low wall of about half a meter is built with adobe or bricks around it, and a few rafters are placed on the top, and then a raft made of branches is set up, and then the roof is covered with grass blades and mud.
Diwozi can withstand the winds and sand that are common in desertified areas, and are warm in winter and cool in summer, but poorly ventilated.
Of course, Lushun is not a desertified area, on the contrary, it is close to the sea and has a humid climate.
However, due to the large number of people gathered here in a short period of time, and most of the building materials were used to build fortifications in various places, some nests could only be built on the soft tidal flats and sandy areas to house the surplus population.
When the war is over in the future, these nests will no longer be used.
The Chinese officer with the white armband inquired about his identity in detail, after hearing that he and Lin Zhengyin were originally in the same cattle record as a coat. recruited Lin Zhengyin to come over to recognize people.
After confirming his identity, he finally untied the rope that bound him, and then the two Huaxia soldiers took him to where he was now.
Lai Zi couldn't believe it until now, he actually crossed the rammed earth wall that seemed to be impossible to pass through from the Houjin side, and arrived at the city of Arthur, which he had seen countless times and longed for countless times.
All of this was like a dream scene, and it wasn't until he ate the steamed buns that the sweet taste of white noodles brought him back to reality. He couldn't help but think of his father and brother's family who died tragically earlier.
Lai Zi's eyes couldn't stop rolling and looked around, there were a lot of Houjin Baoyi who surrendered a few days ago, Lai Zi came over in a hurry and was not familiar with the counting habits of Huaxia's side, or according to the algorithm of Houjin's side, he thought that there was about a number of people gathered here.
Among the 300 or so Houjin coats, there were even dozens of Mongols, who formed a small circle of their own, and also devoured food there.
Lai Zi just looked at it a little and didn't pay attention to it, in fact, the status of the Mongols in Houjin is just Baoyi, and those so-called masters kill them, there is no difference between them and Han Baoyi and Aha.
Even if Lai Zi is also a coat, he still cares a lot about his Han identity, and in the past, he didn't look down on these people very much.
Most of the Houjin soldiers who took the initiative to take refuge in the Huaxia side showed a relaxed demeanor, eating their own food on the side, some of them were more familiar with each other, and they also gathered around each other and talked in a low voice, and from time to time they would let out a burst of happy laughter.
As long as the voices of the people who spoke and laughed were not too loud, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army around them would not forcibly interfere.
Lai Zi was eating steamed buns in small bites, while looking at a few people who were talking and laughing over there, and slowly a little smile appeared on his face, at this moment, he felt unprecedented security in his heart.
Because he knew very well that no one would suddenly run out and beat him or even torture him.
Finally, his dull eyes suddenly became smart again, and after his eyes rolled, he piled up a smile and asked Lin Zhengyin: "Brother Lin, let's talk, how did you come to Huaxia?" ”
