Chapter 85: Provocation
In order to force Korea to surrender and negotiate peace, after conquering Pyongyang, the army crossed the Taedong River and established a large camp on the south bank, showing the posture of marching into Wangjing. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Over the past few days, the army has slowly gathered together, and every day new arrivals have arrived, and there is of course a solemn silence not far from the camp tents of the marshal and several lieutenants, but when he leaves these key areas, the neighing and noise of people and horses are incessant.
Chen Xin traveled with dozens of men, and everywhere you could see Koreans who had been captured as coolies, and although the place would soon be abandoned, they continued to expand and improve the camp's facilities under the whips and swords of the overseers.
Chen Xin looked at Lakshen who was walking towards him and asked, "Have you inquired clearly?" β
Lakshin took the list and whispered, "Don't worry, my lord, I have inquired about it all, there are a total of 7 people on the list, all of them are inlaid with white flags, and they are camped in this area." β
As soon as Chen Xin was about to ask carefully, he heard a Chinese sound begging for mercy, and turned his head to look at the Jurchen soldiers in a circle not far away, and the voice came from there.
Chen Xin stepped forward and pushed away the crowd, and saw a wrapper waving a whip and whipping continuously, and the laughter of the Tartars kept coming from all around.
An old man lay on top of two teenage children on the ground, trying to protect them from the overseer's whip.
But how can the skinny old man protect the two children, plus the two children are also trying to break free from the protection of the old man, and in turn protect the old man, the three people between the left and right clumsy are constantly adding red and swollen wounds.
The Chinese begging for mercy came from the old man's mouth, and if he looked closely, the two children's eyes kept looking around, constantly scanning the short knives, daggers, and axes on the waists of the soldiers around them, as if they were looking for an opportunity to fight hard.
Chen Xin caught up a few steps, came to the overseer, stretched out his hand to stop Bao Yi from waving the whip, turned to the three people on the ground and asked, "Are you Han or Korean?" β
The old man cowered and didn't dare to speak, after all, most of the Han people in North Korea at this time fled from Liaodong, and after the fugitive slaves from the Jin Kingdom were caught, they were to be executed.
The old man didn't dare to speak, but the two and a half adults straightened their chests and said loudly, "We are Han." β
The old man hurriedly reached out to cover the mouths of the two children, and hurriedly explained, "Adults, children are not sensible, adults should not listen to their nonsense. He glared at the two children.
The two children were glared at by the old man, and they didn't dare to speak, but their chests were still held high, showing their pride in their Han identity to Chen Xin.
Chen Xin smiled slightly, although it was a little naΓ―ve, but in the enemy camp in a foreign country, they could still behave like this, these two children were very good, if they hadn't appeared by themselves just now, I am afraid they would have been splashed with blood on the spot.
At this time, a Jurchen on the side spoke, "Wu Na man, I will teach my own minions, what is the matter with you, go away quickly, otherwise you will be a good-looking Han dog." β
Chen Xin's eyes froze, and he waved his hand to let his subordinates take the old man and the two children to the back, and then walked towards the man.
The Jurchen was stunned for a moment, laughed and beckoned around, and the surrounding soldiers surrounded him with a sneer, and kept mocking in their mouths
"Han dogs dare to meddle too."
"In front of my Jurchen warriors, how can you speak."
"Yohe, I'm still not convinced."
"Brothers, loosen his muscles, and today I will put it in an eighteen-like pose."
Chen Xin made a gesture of preparing for battle as he walked, and the dozens of people he brought with him lined up behind Chen Xin in the violent cheers of the leading officers.
After a loud shout of "Tiger", the team took three steps forward and stopped, and then another "Tiger" sounded and moved forward three steps.
After three times, everyone in the team behind Chen Xin stared at each other, like a group of fierce tigers who chose to devour people.
The soldiers who were about to surround the other side were shocked on the spot and stayed where they were, not daring to move.
Chen Xin ignored the other party's front soldiers, and walked in front of the other party's Jurchen officer, who had spoken disrespectfully at the beginning.
Looking at the other party's somewhat nervous face, he snorted contemptuously, kicked out his right foot suddenly, and the bastard with a mouth full of feces immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
When the man was screaming and rolling, the sound of "poof, poof, poof" came from the sound of drawing a knife, although he was shocked by the momentum of Chen Xin's department, but they were all soldiers, seeing that their own officers were beaten, where could the hundreds of soldiers around them still be coaxed, they rushed over in anger.
Chen Xin's department, since the invasion of Korea, the prestige accumulated by winning a hundred battles has been deeply imprinted on all the soldiers, especially these people who are coming out with them now, they are all outstanding figures in Chen Xin's army, who advocates fighting when he sees the enemy, all of them are full of arrogance, where will they put this small scene in their eyes.
At this time, although the number of people is at an absolute disadvantage, it does not show weakness at all.
In Chen Xin, "draw the sword and line up." In the queue, a type of infantry knife in everyone's hands was neatly drawn and held in front of their chests.
The officer leading the team shouted "Tiger" again, and everyone responded to "Tiger" in unison, and took three steps forward and stood beside Chen Xin in formation.
The frightened soldiers standing behind Chen Xin immediately ran towards their own team.
The two sides confronted each other one step apart, and the tip of the knife was about to reach the center of the other's eyebrows, but neither of them really made a move.
Chen Xin's subordinates were waiting for the order to attack, and the other party was throwing a rat trap.
Fights in the army are common, and Shangguan basically won't interfere, but if someone dies, it's a big crime.
Now among the other party, the one with the biggest official position is lying on the ground, rolling around with his life, and the others are passing the buck to each other, and no one is willing to take responsibility, after all, the matter was caused by the officers on the ground themselves.
At this time, Laxin came behind him and whispered, "My lord, the officer on the other side is the first person on the list, plus the second, third, sixth, and ninth people on the left, and the first and third people on the right, all seven people on the list." β
Chen Xin's bad mood suddenly relaxed, it was really a narrow road, and he was still thinking about whether he would delay his decision to vote for Amina, compared to the things in front of him, that was the top priority.
Now I can rest assured, the target is in the crowd, and I can have a good "communication" with these people.
glanced at Ann Bulu, who was hiding on the other side, and the other party understood, and immediately rushed away into the distance.
Chen Xin had already prepared, so he stood there calmly, carefully guarding against the other party's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and waiting for the next move he had arranged.
And the people on the side of the white flag, the leading officer still can't stand up in pain, can't speak, and the other officers don't want to take responsibility, so they discuss with each other for a while, and when they are trying to find a way to find the steps, they hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
