Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 566: It doesn't matter if someone dies

Zhao Xing was not from Liuzhou, he was from Qingyuan. This time, the whole family was captured by the Qing army from Qingyuan as cannon fodder. Zhao Xing's two older brothers were already dead. Zhao Xing didn't know where the bodies were. He only knew that they were dead. Father and mother also died, one was starved to death, the other was beaten to death by Qing soldiers. Besides his dead brother and parents, Zhao Xing also had a younger sister alive.

Compared with her brother who was forced to fill the trenches for the Qing army and her parents who were beaten to death and starved to death, Xiaomei Zhao was lucky. Although she was spoiled by many stinking Qing soldiers every day, Xiaomei Zhao didn't have to worry about her and her brothers. Even if she was sent to fill the ditch by the Qing army, there is no need to worry that the Qing army will drive her to the line of defense of the Ming army.

In troubled times, the body is a woman's biggest capital, the biggest survival capital. Fortunately, Xiaomei Zhao is a woman, a young woman, not a man, so she has the value of surviving. As for the humiliation she suffered, was it really humiliation? Humiliation does not exist in this era when human life is worthless, only the dead and the living exist.

The death of the two older brothers and the humiliation of the younger sister did not make Zhao Xing have much hatred for the Qing army. He was now running frantically with a bag of mud on his back. He couldn't hear the cries and screams that sounded in front of him, and he couldn't see the corpses and bloodstains on the ground. He just ran forward like crazy.

He didn't lose his mind. On the contrary, he was sober, because he knew clearly that many people died. If he didn't help the Qing soldiers fill up the ditch quickly, he would die soon.

If you want to live, you have to act fast, you have to be fast!

Only by quickly throwing the bag of dirt on his back into the ditch, and only by running back to get a bag of dirt, can he see the Qing soldiers rushing into the defense line of the Ming army and slaughter them. Only then can he survive.

The reason for being desperate is only to want to live; the reason for being brave is only to want to live.

Countless Han people who had the same idea of ​​​​living as Zhao Xing rushed forward bravely and resolutely. They shouted and shouted, as if they had forgotten their life and death, and fell one by one under the guns and guns of the Ming army. But more of them are going forward one after another, appearing in the sight of the Ming army on the opposite side with a brave attitude without fear of death.

"They are crazy, why don't they turn around and fight with those Qing soldiers?"

This thought flashed in the minds of the Taiping army gunmen who were shooting mechanically. They couldn't understand what the common people who knew that they were going to die but still ran forward thought. Although they didn't have weapons, there were many of them. Why don't they resist! Even if the resistance will kill many people, how many people will die than now?

There may be a way to resist, and some people may be able to escape, but if you don't resist, you can only line up in front of the Lord of Hell, dazedly waiting for Death to wave to him.

However, no one resisted, on the contrary, they were scrambling for each other, on the contrary, they were killing each other - in order to throw the mud bags in their hands into the ditch, so that the ditch could be filled early, the soldiers of the Taiping Army saw many uninjured civilians being pushed behind them. man pushed into the pit.

"The people are not afraid of death, they are not brave, they just dare not turn back, because they are afraid of the sword of the Qing soldiers. If they charge forward, they may have a chance to go back again. If they do not charge forward, they will even turn back. There is no chance for them. If there is one reason to explain their crazy behavior, it is that it is better to die later than to die earlier, and it is better for you to die than me, understand?"

There was no expression on Niu Gensheng's face, and he did not order to stop the shelling, lest innocent people be killed or injured in vain. The scene in front of him, he watched too much, but he used to drive the people to rush to the Ming army, but now he is watching the people rush to him.

The human heart is made of flesh, not made of iron. At first, Niu Gensheng also trembled, and he couldn't bear it, but after watching more, what could he do?

What's more important than being alive these days?

Either you die or I die!

More than 10,000 Han people rushed toward the Taiping army like a sea of ​​people, and then retreated again. It goes on and on, without stopping. Only the corpses all over the place and the trenches, which are more than half filled, tell both sides on the battlefield that this is a life-and-death war, and there is no sympathy in war.

Looking at the people who had been driven to serve as cannon fodder, watching them fall piece by piece into the trenches in front of the Taiping army, Guangxi Admiral Xian Guoan's expression remained unmoved, with no hesitation or hesitation on his face. Words are not a thing at all. Even in his report to the court, he would not waste a word describing how these people bravely filled the trenches for the Qing Dynasty. He only cared whether the death of these cannon fodders could fill the trenches. If he couldn't, he would have to worry about where to find more cannon fodder, because all the people in a radius of dozens of miles were raided by him. If this time is not successful, the Guangxi Admiral will really be anxious. He was delayed in Liuzhou for too long, and he suffered too many casualties in Xiaobei Mountain. Lord Xin was very dissatisfied with his delay in taking Liuzhou.

"The Ming army used alternate firing and continuous firing. It seems that the guns are shot very fast and densely, but their guns are not much stronger than ours. After five or six shots, they must stop, otherwise the guns are too strong. Even the hot medicine can't be put in, so there will always be a pause. The same is true for the artillery on the opposite mountain. I count, about seven or eight guns, the Ming army artillery will have a pause. Don't underestimate this pause, this is what we won. The essential."

"What the Admiral said is that the Ming army has indeed stopped."

The left-wing commander listened to the sound of cannons for a while~www.NovelMTL.com~ nodded, laughed hehely, and said rather proudly: "No matter how powerful the Guangdong barbarians are, they can't stand us getting so many people. Come and rush. The harder they fight, the greater the consumption of the medicine, and we will see how long they can last."

"Send the order, hear the sound of the cannon, the whole army is pressing, no matter what today, we will take down Xiaobei Mountain!"

"twitter!"

Immediately, the personal soldiers of Xian Guoan rushed to pass the order.

"Lord Admiral, we have driven all the people in a radius of dozens of miles. If they all die, Liuzhou and Qingyuan will be empty spaces." The whole festival felt a little regretful.

Xian Guoan disapproved and said: "It doesn't matter if no one is there. Once the Ming army is equalized, people can be transferred from other places."

Quanjie's eyes lit up suddenly, he pointed forward with his horse whip, and said excitedly, "Most of the ditch is filled, and if there is one more incense stick, I'm afraid this ditch will be filled."

Xian Guoan glanced at the probe, waved his hand, and instructed: "Go, ask the artillery battalion to push the artillery up, you can't just listen to the Nanmanzi's cannon, our artillery must also go off." (To be continued.)( )
