RUMOR HAS IT THAT I'M PREGNANT WITH HIS HIGHNESS' CHILD - Chapter 650
Chapter 650
These people were pressed and knelt on the ground.
Jun Chen intentionally frightened them, forcing them to cry.
The miserable cry passed through the earthen wall and reached the ears of the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
I can only watch those innocent people die tragically, but I can’t help.
—This is tantamount to the most painful mental torture for the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
The crying and howling continued for a whole day.
At the moment when the sun was setting, Chen Jun raised their butcher knife again.
All cries ceased,
The world fell silent.
It was deathly silence.
Tonight, Chen Jun didn’t even deal with the corpses, and let those silky and miserable corpses be thrown in the open space, to be pecked by the crows that smelled blood.
Every day that followed, Chen Jun would capture a group of Liaodong civilians, force them to cry for help, and then brutally end their lives at sunset.
This continued until the fifth day.
The spirits of the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army became very weak. They could risk everything to fight the enemy to the death on the battlefield, but they couldn’t accept that they were powerless to watch ordinary people being slaughtered.
Some soldiers with poor psychological endurance have begun to show symptoms of trance.
They began to be afraid of the rising sun, and they dared not face those eyes that longed to live.
Xiao Juan knew that this was the purpose of Chen Jun’s coach.
They did all this to destroy the morale of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
Now it seems that most of their tricks have succeeded.
Next, as long as there is another dose of strong medicine at the end, the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army can be completely collapsed.
This strong medicine will come soon—
Today, the Chen Army proudly showed off to the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army behind the earthen wall.
“Come out and have a look, see what good things we brought you today?”
Upstairs, Tang Guixi watched as Chen Jun dragged a group of ragged people out.
Although those people were all covered with injuries, and some were missing arms and legs, Tang Guixi still saw several familiar faces inside at a glance.
Those were all soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army!
In the previous battles, the Eastern Expeditionary Army retreated steadily due to insufficient food and grass, and lost most of their soldiers and horses.
Many of them were unfortunately captured.
Tang Guixi originally thought that he wrote that the captives had been killed.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jun did not kill them.
At this time, Tang Guixi watched them kneeling on the ground, and Chen Jun pressed their scimitars on their backs, forcing them to bow their heads.
Also, Chen Bing stepped on their injured places on purpose, watching them die from pain, Chen Bing let out a malicious laugh.
A Chen Bing brought a horse. He grabbed a captive with a broken leg, put a rope around the captive’s neck, and then rode the horse to run across the open space.
The prisoner could only chase after him desperately, but he only had one leg, so how could he catch up with the speed of the horse?
Soon he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Chen Bing flicked the reins vigorously, and the horse under him ran faster.
The prisoner was dragged forward like this, his flesh was scratched, and his already damaged body became even more damaged.
Seeing the captive lying on the ground like a dead dog, the soldiers beside him laughed even more enthusiastically.
This scene deeply stimulated the spirits of the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
The people who were killed a few days ago are indeed pitiful, but after all, they have no relatives or reasons for the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army.
But now it’s different.
The people who are being brutally insulted and abused now are their former robes and comrades-in-arms who once lived and died with them.
How could they bear the pain?
Many people in the Eastern Expeditionary Army couldn’t help crying.
They wanted to rush out to save others, but were quickly held back by their companions.
They are soldiers, and they regard military orders more important than their lives.
As long as General Tang does not speak, none of them can move.
Upstairs, Tang Guixi’s emotions and reason were struggling desperately.
She knew that this was an enemy’s trick, and she couldn’t be fooled, but she really couldn’t do it if she wanted her to watch her former subordinates being tortured to death!
What should she do?
At this moment, a sharp arrow shot out through the air and shot directly at Chen Bing on horseback.
The arrow pierced through the chest.
Before Bing Chen had time to react, he was killed on the spot.
He opened his eyes wide and fell straight off the horse.
The horse stopped.
Stopped together, and the laughter of the surrounding soldiers.
Tang Guixi turned his head suddenly, looked in the direction of the sharp arrow, and saw Xiao Juan appeared behind the earthen wall at some point.
He held a bow in his hand, and the bowstring was still trembling slightly.
Xiao Juan ignored the gazes of the people around him, and continued to draw his bow and arrows, aiming at those Chen soldiers.
Everyone’s hearts were raised.
The Chen soldiers stood very close to the captives, and if the arrows were slightly off, they would hurt the captives.
This is why the archers of the Eastern Expedition Army dare not do it.
They were afraid that when they shot an arrow, instead of killing the enemy, they shot their comrades to death.
Xiao Juan didn’t have so many worries.
He let go of his finger, and shot another arrow.
The arrow once again hit a Chen Bing accurately.
Now, all Chen soldiers are afraid.
They retreated in a hurry, shooting out of the range of their bows and arrows.
Those captives were just thrown in the open space.
Seeing this, Tang Guixi and the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
In any case, the captives no longer have to suffer inhuman abuse for the time being, nor do they need to face cruel mental torture.
However, all this is not over yet.
Wait until the sun goes down, those Chen soldiers who have suffered thousands of knives will still point their butcher knives at the captives.
Xiao Juan threw the bow and arrow to Meng Xizhou who was following him.
He turned and left, strode up the sentry tower, and found Tang Guixi.
“It can’t go on like this.”
Tang Guixi’s face was ugly: “Of course I know I can’t let them go on like this, but I can’t stop them.”
Xiao Juan: “I have an idea.”
Tang Guixi signaled him to speak.
Xiao Juan: “Remember when we captured Hengcheng, we captured those Chen Army prisoners?”
Tang Guixi naturally still remembers, she said with a frown.
“But most of those captives are dead.”
Most of those captives committed many crimes. Tang Guixi never thought of recruiting them. She dealt with them according to the crimes they had committed. Anyone who committed the crime of adultery and murder was executed.
But there are always exceptions to everything. Among the captives, there were a few honest people who were left behind and became hard labor in the military camp.
Tang Guixi: “The remaining prisoners who are still alive are also insignificant soldiers. The Chen Army may not be willing to let our people go for them.”
Xiao Juan said, “Have you heard the allusion of fake eyes?”
Tang Guixi thought for a moment, then opened his eyes wide.
“Don’t you think… But this is too dangerous! If the other party finds out, you will die!”
Xiao Juan: “Do you have a better way?”
Tang Guixi was immediately speechless.
