Chapter 2031 Before the Expedition

"Leaving your wife behind on your wedding night and rushing to Danyang alone? Do you want to show that friendship is more important than women?" Looking at Huang Shao galloping on his horse in the picture, Jia Zhengjin smiled slightly, "It's a pity that your friendship has been broken after marrying Qiao Xi. It's impossible to make up for it!"

"Captain, the other party wants Huang Shao to intervene in the war." Nuwa reminded, "It may be an opportunity for them to consolidate their friendship."

"I know! So I will never let Huang Shao get involved. Before he arrives, the war will end!"

"What do you mean...?"

"It's time to send troops to attack Bashui County and take this city for Qiguo!" Jia Zhengjin stretched his neck, stood up and said, "I also want to experience the fun of leading troops to fight in ancient times. Nuwa!"

"What do you want, captain?"

"You train Yu Wanniang first and let her master the long night dance as soon as possible. If necessary, I will give you an order."

"Instructions received!"

Danyang military camp prison

"Come out! Come out!" The jailer whipped the wooden door and shouted.

The deserter in the prison walked out of the prison door tremblingly and stood in front of the jailer nervously.

"Crash!" The jailer behind him dumped several carts of armor on the road.

"Now go over one by one, each of you get a set of armor, and then gather in order at the parade ground!" The jailer waved the whip and shouted loudly, "You must know your identity. Deserters are originally beheaded. The general is gracious and gives you one chance. If you want to escape again, you will be killed on the spot! Get moving, hurry up!"

"It sounds so nice, but he doesn't want to exchange our lives for his achievements." A deserter muttered in a low voice.

"Pa!" The jailer immediately whipped him in the face, and the deserter fell to the ground and wailed in pain.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be severely punished!"

The whole process was silent, no one dared to speak again, and they lined up honestly to get their equipment.

Diao Jun wanted to help the beaten deserter, but was stopped by the jailer. Facing the other party's vicious eyes and the whip ready to go, he had no choice but to give up.

"Yours!" When it was Diao Jun's turn, the jailer in charge of distributing equipment rudely handed him a set of equipment,

regardless of whether it fit him or not, "Get out! Next one."

Even though he was very reluctant, Diao Jun could only honestly take the equipment and move forward. Near the prison gate, he put on the armor with other deserters.

Fortunately, the armor fit him well, and he was lucky.

"Uncle Lian, do we still have a chance to escape?" Someone whispered behind the deserter.

"Shh~ It seems that there is no chance now, so we can only obey."

"Do we really have to go to the battlefield and risk our lives for the military exploits of that shitty general?"

"Keep your voice down!"

"Uncle Lian, what should I do? I don't want to die..."

"Who wants to die! Aren't you talking nonsense? Be quiet, we may not have no chance."

"Where is the chance?"

"Listen to me, after the army goes out, we can wait for an opportunity to escape on the road. Although there will be a guard army, we can always find an opportunity. At worst, after we arrive at the battlefield, we can also find an opportunity to escape. If it really doesn't work, surrender if there is a chance, and then think of a way to escape."

"Uncle Lian, you must take me home!"

"Shh~ Stop talking."

The two people's whispering was not discovered by the jailer, but other deserters around them, including Diao Jun, heard it.

Everyone subconsciously leaned towards the two people, as if they had found the backbone, looking forward to escaping together.

No one wanted to be killed meaninglessly on the battlefield, everyone just wanted to go home and live a plain life.

Diao Jun decided to follow these two people closely, perhaps they were their chance to escape.

After coming out of the prison, a large group of jailers escorted them with weapons and took them to the parade ground.

More than 30,000 Danyang soldiers had gathered in the parade ground, and they were only a very small part of them.

"Hey! Come here to get your weapons!" The jailers took the deserters to the edge of the parade ground, where wooden weapons were piled up.

They were called weapons, but in fact they were wooden guns, wooden sticks, bamboo spears, etc., which were not of the same level as the real swords and guns in the hands of the authentic Danyang soldiers.

They were just cannon fodder, and they didn't need too good weapons, as long as they could stab people to death, just like the armor on their bodies was all old and the defense was not that good.

Even if they were not happy in their hearts, they didn't dare to take the risk of being whipped or even being dragged out to be beheaded. The deserters honestly took their weapons and then joined the other cannon fodder soldiers holding wooden guns and sticks.

Diao Jun received a bamboo spear, looking at the sharpened top, which could barely be considered a weapon, but it was definitely a weapon that would break easily. His left hand secretly touched the wolf tooth cone hidden in his arms.

On the way to the expedition, he would try every means to follow other deserters to see if he could leave the team. But if he couldn't escape, he had to go to the battlefield. This bamboo spear couldn't protect him, and he had to rely on the wolf tooth cone sent by Master Jia.

I hope the magic weapon works and allows me to return safely.

It doesn't matter whether I can get military merit or get rewards. The most important thing is to save my life and return to Qimu Town to see Brother Shao and Xi'er.

After receiving the weapon, he nervously mixed into the team, looking around, looking for the man called "Uncle Lian" just now.

When he saw that man in another team, more than a dozen people away from him, he wanted to squeeze over.

But he was stopped by someone as soon as he took a few steps and pushed back to a distance.

The one who stopped him was a young man standing in front of him who looked more delicate and about the same age as himself. The young man turned his head and looked at Diao Jun with contempt, and said coldly: "Deserter, you must abide by the rules in the army! The general will swear an oath. If you run around everywhere, you may be dragged out and beheaded!"

This made Diao Jun feel cold all over. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and standing still, but his eyes were still wandering on Uncle Lian who was far away.

"A real man, how can you retreat in the face of battle? Even if it's not your own intention, you have to take responsibility after joining the camp!" The soldier in front slammed the bamboo spear on the ground, "Since Cen has joined the army, he must stand out and make military exploits! When this battle is won, you will be promoted to a general with military merits and bring honor to the family!"

Hearing this, Diao Jun couldn't help frowning. It's your business to be fearless of death, what qualifications do you have to ask others to be the same as you?

We were also forcibly conscripted into the army, how noble do you look like this?

He was too lazy to respond, just looked at Uncle Lian and thought quietly.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the soldier named Cen in front turned around and said, "Hey! If you don't want to die, stay by my side when the battle starts. Staying with me, you have a better chance of survival!"

"Mind yourself!" Diao Jun looked at him unhappily.

"Humph! People like you usually die the fastest on the battlefield!" The soldier named Cen showed an unhappy look, turned his head to look at the other side, and talked to other soldiers, "After the battle starts, you stay by my side and listen to my command. This way you have a better chance of survival..."
