Chapter 27 [War is not a dinner party]

Can an evil feudal society cherish the lives of ordinary soldiers? Stop thinking about it. Bai Dong only realized that the so-called rescue of the battlefield was actually the nobles and generals with certain identities.

The war in the Spring and Autumn Period was very gentle at first, that was the polite Olympics. Both sides led soldiers to the battlefield and set up their formation to send generals. They were all sitting in chariots. There were people who helped to rush to say hello to each other from a distance. Oh, it's brother, you brother? Long time no see, I changed my new spear today? It's so beautiful... As I spoke, I approached, and both sides raised their spears to attack each other. One side accidentally sprained his arm, and the other party stopped immediately, otherwise even if the rules on the battlefield were broken, they were not graceful. It is said that in the battle between Jin and Chu, the Chu army was defeated, and the Jin army chased after him. When a chariot was not gone, the pursuers jumped down to ask for concern. As soon as they found that the car was broken, they helped repair it. After repairing it, they asked the other party to get on the car and chase it again. When they were chasing for fifty steps, they immediately called the gold to withdraw the troops.

The Warring States Period began to become cruel. After a battle, the generals who beheaded ten thousand people would not be called butchers, but would be heroes of the country and storms of the times. However, the beheaded will always be civilians. The nobles and scholars will enjoy various preferential treatments even on the battlefield. The Sishu Camp is their welfare institution.

During the war, the unfortunately injured nobles may be sent to the wounded camp for battlefield treatment as soon as possible, including the enemy nobles. As long as the other party is not burdened with the blood hatred of our country, they will be treated. After the battle is over, the enemy will redeem it.

There is no way, they are all relatives, and all countries are getting married. Today is grandma fighting grandson, and tomorrow is uncle fighting nephew. It is not good to be injured by anyone. Now there are more than a hundred years before Qin becomes a tiger or wolf. The balance of power in the world is the main theme of this era. It is not too good for all countries to go too far.

Since there is no need to go to the front line, Bai Dong can breathe a sigh of relief. The Qin army and the Wei army are still in formation. As Wu Qi commented, Wei formation is strong, Qin people scattered, Gongshu Zhuo is indeed an old fox. He can see through the advantages of the Wei army at a glance. It is far better to lead the elite Wei Wushu to defend the city than to fight. Winning even without asking for a decisive battle, he was happy to stay in Shaoliang City to enjoy his luxurious aristocratic life. Since the Qin army is coming, he will fight in formation. More than 100,000 Qin troops in ragged clothes may not be able to block the chariot of the Wei Dynasty.

If it were a powerful general like Pang Juan, he would have been in a decisive battle with Qin long ago. My husband and uncle were even more cautious than Zhuge Kongming, who had food in his hand. He would not take the initiative to fight for the decisive battle in one day. He would just wait for Pang Juan to defeat the Han and Wei coalition forces. Regardless of whether the Pang army could come in time, it would play a role in striking the morale of the Qin army.

The battle began in an instant. The two sides seemed to be rectifying their formation the moment before. The next moment Bai Dong saw two dark clouds appearing in the air, one above the Qin army and the other above the Wei army. It was not a storm coming, but a deadly crossbow! The arrows were like rain. Before the army on both sides had really encountered it, hundreds of soldiers fell down. The survivors seemed to be unable to see the robes of the casualties, and they were still arranged in neat military formations and rushed towards the other side!

"boom!"

Bai Dong dared to bet that the ground shook the moment the army of both sides collided, and the human limbs and heads were thrown into the air, and a blood line appeared on the ground, spreading around with the army of both sides as the center, and drawing the most hideous picture in the world. That was not an impressionist work in later generations, it was a cruel reality of blood.

It was such a terrifying scene, and someone wanted to add a stroke to it? The Qin Ruike cavalry in black armor was dispatched. Almost at the same time, the Wei cavalry in red robe rushed towards him. Bai Dong widened his eyes. It turned out that there were a very small number of elite cavalrymen in the era when saddle stirrups were not invented. They rode on the bare horse's back, clamping the horse's belly tightly, and they could still exert force on the horse's back, trying to defeat the opponent's cavalry as soon as possible, and then divide the enemy's infantry formation.

The Sishu Camp clearly has the mission of "rescuing the other nobles under possible conditions", but it will be hated by the enemy's army. It is a great humiliation for the alms to be treated by the enemy! Therefore, they often divide small forces to harass and attack. This is really contradictory. Bai Dong had to be careful and forcibly arranged the Sishu Camp on a mound half a miracle away from the battlefield at the risk of being counterattacked by militants like Li Di. This is not only a matter of time before it can be rescued by the alms' noble generals at any time, but also safer.

"Safety is the first priority! We are not for ourselves, but for the purpose of preserving useful bodies. We save those generals at critical moments! Even the prince! The king! So without my orders, no one is allowed to enter the battlefield. Young master, don't look at others, I'm talking about you."

Compared to the young master Shaoguan who was ready to move, Li Di was very calm, but just stared at the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying. It seemed that the more people died, the more excited he would be. Two Wei troops attacked just now, and more than thirty people were slaughtered by him, which was crueler than the young master Shaoguan. However, this guy was quite professional and did not forget his glorious mission of protecting Doctor Bai, and he never took a step away from Bai Dong.

The battle was cruel, and the life of civilian soldiers without the protection of the heavy armored guard was even cheaper than grass. Bai Dong saw a thin Qin boy bit the enemy's throat with his teeth. He shouted excitedly, trying to rush towards a white-haired old Qin man, but just turned around and was pierced by the enemy's chest!

At the same time, countless similar scenes were being performed. The soldiers who killed red-eyed would only judge the enemy and me by their clothes. Their eyes were covered with blood. Then they would kill everyone close to them and then fall down in madness.

The first battle was over, without passionate horns, no heart-wrenching cry, no victory cheers, only terrible silence. In the early days of the Warring States Period, some battlefield rules passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period were retained. This was the time for the injured camps of both sides to appear on stage. Only at this time will civilian wounded soldiers be carried off the battlefield and receive the simplest treatment.

Li Di and Bai Dong walked side by side. Seeing a seriously injured Qin army, they casually checked their injuries, shook their heads, and pierced their heart with a sword.

Bai Dong would never do such a thing until his death, but he was unable to stop it. Even if he was in the 21st century, there would be no hope for such injuries. He was not a savior, nor was he a master disciple. This was a bloody battlefield, not a Jixia Academy, which was covered with clouds and had no white diary.

The pre-Qin period was a great resounding sound, and the unique knowledge of the past was passed down. The beautiful things were also in this era, with darkness that even the sun could not penetrate. Have civilians and untouchables had happy days? They didn’t even have surnames, died in the fields in their spare time, and died in the battlefield in wartime. This is an era of light and dark convergence. Is there still joy when I first came? If I had a choice, would I continue to stay here?

Of course, there are mom, Cao'er, and the tribesmen of Yishi Village here, which makes me unable to give up. Just work hard to be a magic lamp. Maybe it can't illuminate this great era, or at least illuminate the sky above mom and Cao'er's heads.

Bai Dong was walking numbly among the pile of corpses, and suddenly felt an indescribable fatigue, which was both physical and mental fatigue.

"Even if you want to kill me, I will leave here. Now! If you want to do it, hurry up." Looking at Li Di, Bai Dong gritted his teeth.

"What do I do to kill you? I really think I am a murderer? If you want to leave, leave. I will ask the camp soldiers to send you back to rest."

Did Li Di say this? Bai Dong couldn't help but twist his arm, sure that he was not dreaming.

ps: Thanks to the two brothers 'linmeat', 'Laura Ukruze' for their rewards and support:)
