Chapter 1192: He Man's Battlefield Notes I
My name is He Man, Niu Hulu? He Man, Manchurian inlaid with yellow flags.
I was one of the many guards of Dodor, but now I am just an ordinary soldier.
I am hungry. Yes, very hungry.
I never thought that hunger would be so uncomfortable, especially on such a hot day, when the hunger came up, and the whole body seemed to lose weight, as if it was about to fly into the sky. 、
When I walked, I felt that the ground was soft and springy.
I'm going to die, and if I don't eat something, I guess I won't be able to survive today. If I were still a guard of Dodor, I don't think I would be so embarrassed. As the commander of the first army, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, even if all the people in this encirclement starved to death, he and the guards around him would still be able to eat enough.
The reason why he was driven away by Duoduo was not because of the Han dog.
Just the day before yesterday, I knew that Lai Du and the more than 20 friends who came out of the village were all in the hands of the Ningxiang Army in all the previous battles, and I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart. Suddenly I want to cry, for them and for myself.
I don't know why, I opened the wine jar and drank it, drank two catties of Huadiao in one go, and drank myself until my head rose.
I'm a smart man, and the more drunk I get, the faster my head turns. The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, could it be that the Han dog who took the liberty of Xinjiang deceived me? Yes, definitely. I guess I was scared enough to fool me in front of me.
Hehe, the master is not so easy to get along with, a good dog surnamed Mao dares to coax Lao Tzu every day?
So, I didn't hide it, I rushed directly to Mao Xiang, and beat the sour ding in front of everyone. Originally, beating a Han dog was not a matter at all. But I didn't want this incident to alarm Duoduo, and Duoduo didn't know what confusion he had committed, so he ordered someone to take me down and let Lao Tzu kowtow to the surname Mao to make amends, otherwise he would have to be engaged in military law.
Phew, I'm a good Jianzhou man, how can I kowtow to a Han dog, a slave and admit my mistakes, don't even think about it.
But he didn't want to, but Duoduo was so angry that he slashed at me with his mid-waist knife, and if I wasn't wearing armor at the time, I would have been split in half by him. However, the cotton armor was still broken, and a foot-long wound was cut. Fortunately, only a layer of skin was broken, which didn't matter, but the blood was flowing all over the back.
I was not convinced, and shouted, "Dordor, are you going to kill a warrior for the sake of a minion?" If you do this, why should you let the soldiers die for you, and why should you win the battle? No wonder we've lost so badly now, Dodor, you're not the same person you used to be. ”
These words poked directly into Duoduo's heart, and Duoduo was so angry that his face turned blue, and he was about to come over and cut people with a knife. Fortunately, the guards rushed in and hugged him tightly. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be alive now.
Duoduo wants to kill me, and I have nothing to do, I just feel aggrieved. But the **** slave pretended to come over to intercede, when did grandpa ask him to intercede.
Duoduo was so angry that his face turned blue, and he roared loudly: "Lao Tzu is not fighting well now, but so what, you know the art of war." To tell you honestly, being surrounded by Han dogs was intentional on purpose. You wait and see, maybe in half a month, my Duoduo will cut off Sun Yuan's head with my own hands. Sell your life, Lao Tzu doesn't need you, a dog slave who is as short as the Han people, there are too many people like you, and my Qing Dynasty is really going to be finished. , little man, get down there and be a soldier, I don't need you here. One day you figured it out and kowtowed to Mao Bijiang to admit your mistakes, and one day you came back. ”
Just kidding, how could I kowtow to the surname Mao, and I won't see anyone in the future. Moreover, Dodor's little man stabbed me completely.
At that moment, I knelt in front of him, slammed my head on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Duoduo, after so many years, what I look like on the battlefield, you can see it with your own eyes." When someone else kills a Han dog, I don't kill one less. Every time we charged, we were at the front, even faster than our taller companions. The pig is bigger than the wolf, but can it beat the wolf? ”
My words scolded everyone who was taller than me, and Duoduo probably regretted it a little, and didn't talk anymore, only waved his hand: "Go down, when will you figure it out, when will you come back." ”
In this way, I was sent to the front to be an ordinary soldier.
From a dignified Duoduo personal guard, a white-armored elite warrior in Jianzhou has become an ordinary big-headed soldier, and the situation is naturally a thousand battles. Fortunately, the non-commissioned officers and officers below were afraid of me, and they knew that I was only staying down for a while, and I would still return to the Chinese army in the future, and I would not dare to offend.
In fact, by the time I went down, the troops were out of food. Since I went down, I haven't eaten a little serious east.
Hunger is a terrible thing, and when hunger comes up, it feels like a big hand is holding your stomach and squeezing it straight into your mouth.
In the bright sunlight, everything around me is darkened, and I want to take a bite of everything I see.
The cattle and horses in the army had been eaten, and even the grass and bark and leaves on the ground had been eaten. There are too many people in the old camp, but everything that can be imported will disappear in an instant, even mosquitoes flying in the sky and earthworms in the mud.
According to our system of eight banners, there are 25 cattle in each banner, and each cattle has 300 people, making a total of 7,500 people. But in fact, the number of cattle in each flag is different, not fixed, and constantly changing at any time.
There are more than 200 people in this Niu Lu book I am in, and most of them died in the previous Yangzhou War, and there are still about 60 people left. Because I hadn't eaten for a long time, I was hungry and dirty, and skinny. In order to save his physical strength, he lay on the ground weakly all day long, screamed, and did not respond for a long time. There was not the slightest sparkle in his eyes, as if he were a dead man.
A lot of people just go by lying down and die.
The dead naturally have to be buried, otherwise the weather is so human, once it rots, there is no need for the enemy to fight, and the camp of people must be killed first.
I was ordered to bury a companion who had just died, and I didn't have time to ask what his name was, only that he was nicknamed Guniu. This guy is a man, he is in his forties this year, and he can be said to have experienced a hundred battles, from the Ningjin War to the later conquest of North Korea, and then to the southern expedition to Hongguang, he has been rolling on the battlefield all his life. The scars on my body add up to more than the rice I've ever eaten, and in a word, I don't have an inch of intact skin.
However, Gu Niu is a straightforward man like me He Man, I He Man has enough brains, and I know that some things can't be said nonsense, this person is simply a barbarian, and I don't know that I will offend the young man. Because of this, he is still just an ordinary soldier. Many of the people who enlisted in the army at the same time as him became generals by virtue of their military merits.
Guniu's visit to Yangzhou this time was his last battle. According to what he said, he is too old to fight anymore. I hope to be able to grab a handful in Yangzhou and get some money to go back to Liaodong to buy a few hundred acres of land for retirement.
If the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle, and the words of the Han people are sometimes very reasonable. In fact, Gu Niu has already said that this time he encountered the Ningxiang Army, the most ferocious enemy of our Jianzhou, maybe he would die on the battlefield. He doesn't complain to anyone, but he blames his own bad life.
It's a pity that his death this time was inexplicable and worthless.
He was dyed of hunger, and he was hungry for many days, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he ate Guanyin soil. My stomach hurt all night, and I lost my breath at dawn.
Gu Niu can be considered to be able to talk to me, and when he dies, it is really sad, and he has to be buried in the ground for peace.
So I carried his body and a hoe to see if I could find a place to bury him.
However, a small old camp was crowded in so many people at once, and there were people everywhere. The ground is full of soldiers', and it stinks so much that it makes people cry in the wind, and this kind of dirty place naturally can't bury people. So, he went around to a secluded place, and when he went down with a hoe, he felt that it was extremely soft underneath, and when he looked closely, a dead man's head was exposed, and it turned out that there was already a master here.
I had no choice but to change another place, and when I went down with a hoe, I heard a "poof" sound, as if something had been dug up, and the stench came to my nose, and I used a hoe to pull away the floating soil, and then I found that there were people below. Because the death was really long, I went down with this hoe and dug directly into the stomach of the dead man.
It stinks, it stinks.
I just felt like someone had stuffed a handful of cow hair in my throat and eyes, and I wanted to vomit but couldn't.
After sitting on the ground and retching for a long time, I felt better, and my eyes were no longer black. At this time, I suddenly noticed a swarm of flies flying over at some point, and a black cloud instantly shrouded the corpse with an open stomach, as if putting on a black armor for him.
Quite a few flies spotted the bull and landed there.
The bull is my friend, buddy, brother, and even if he dies, he can't be the food for these damned flies.
I picked up the oxen again and continued to look for a suitable cemetery, but because there were so many dead people in the barracks, I couldn't find a suitable place after searching for a long time. In the barracks, wherever they can stay, there are dead people buried without exception. If you go down with a hoe, you will be a man, and if you go down with a hoe, you will still be dead.
I watched too many dead people, and I gradually became numb, and I couldn't feel the stench rising from the end of my nose.
A white-armored soldier stopped me and shouted, "Hey, who's carrying this dead man around and running around." On such a hot day, it's time to rot, Duoduo has an order, if you can't find a place to bury it, you will send it to the transformation field and burn it. ”
Look at the joke, how can I be less big brother. I also know what happened over there in the human field, those private bastards were very reckless, throwing firewood into a shed, more than a dozen corpses, and burning to the ground, and when the bones were finally cleaned up, you have me, I have you, it's very messy, how can I ask Brother Guniu to hand them over to waste and insult?
I raised my eyebrows and was about to scold, but the man hugged me: "He Man, is it you, is it you, how did you do this?" ”
I also recognized this man, who was one of the guards at Dodor's side, and we had worked together for many years, and we had a good relationship.
smiled bitterly: "It's you, don't you know, I offended Duoduo and was sent to be a big soldier." Ahem, damn it, you're hungry, have you anything to eat. ”
"I've heard about you, too." The man took a breath: "Look at you're starving like this **** bird, if you don't eat something, I'm afraid you won't even be able to survive today." I said what are you trying to do, isn't it just to make amends for the crime, and it doesn't matter. It's better for us to stay with Dordor and still have enough for two meals a day than for you to go hungry down there. ”
I sneered: "Tell me to make amends for a Han dog, don't even think about dying." You don't talk nonsense, if I'm a brother, I'll stutter, Lao Tzu remembers your love. ”
"Let's go, if you want to be angry, we can't do it. Brother He Man, come with me. The man smiled bitterly: "Let's go to the room to see if there is anything to eat." By the way, at noon Dordort slaughtered a sheep, and the brothers all fished some bits and pieces for use, and it tasted good, so there should be some left. ”
"Yes, it's brother." When I heard that there was food, my eyes were green, my mouth was full of saliva, and I was about to come out, and I said angrily: "Lao Tzu is eating grass below, but you have meat to eat, quickly lead the way in front." ”
I carried the corpse of the bull on my back to join him in the march of the Chinese army in Duoduo, but the man smiled bitterly and pointed to the bull on my back: "It's not easy to bring in." ”
I changed my face and said, "This is my brother." ”
The man sighed: "Brother He Man, it's not that I don't agree, it's really inappropriate, carrying a corpse in the army, if Duoduo is allowed to see it, even if we have ten heads, it will not be enough to cut off." Besides, it's so hot that there's a lot of corpses everywhere, and there's no telling when the plague will start. You bring a dead man in, and if the plague reaches the Chinese army, it will be a big problem. ”
"My big brother is not sick...... I shouted angrily, but because I was so weak, my voice was like a mosquito.
The man didn't hear it, so he took the body of Brother Gu Niu from my back and put it on the side of the road, and dragged me forward briskly, "Wait a minute, come and look for him again, eat, eat is important, Lao Tzu has known you for three years, He Man, you are a good man, I don't want to see you die." ”
His strength was so great that he couldn't resist. was pulled by him, and he didn't know how far he went, anyway, he was so dizzy to the room of the Chinese army. After drinking a bowl of mutton soup and eating two steamed buns, I sweated profusely, and my body was suddenly full of strength.
Looking back on these two days of starvation, it was like a dream.
It's as if I've never left the Chinese Army.
It's nice to have a bite to eat!
