Chapter 621 A miserable life
Through the light, he saw the body of his childhood playmate.
"Hey, Huizi!"
He shook the man's body, trying to turn him over, but his head fell off without any warning.
This scene frightened him so much that he fainted.
When I woke up again, the weather was already cold.
Looking at the corpse in front of him, he forced himself to suppress his fear and searched the house.
The neighbor's entire family died.
The smell of blood is not from chicken or pig, but from human.
He felt more and more uneasy and ran back home quickly. His parents were lying in the yard, surrounded by blood.
When I opened the door and went inside, my sister was lying naked on the bed, her body covered with wounds and her head torn off. Next to her was my three-year-old brother with a kitchen knife stuck in his body.
Seeing this scene, his legs went weak, he shouted a few times, and fainted again.
When he woke up again, he accepted the fact that he had lost his soul. At this moment, his life seemed to have fallen into complete darkness.
He mustered up his courage and searched every house in the village, but all he could see were corpses. He went from being terrified at first to being numb in the end.
Who did this and why?
He didn't know, nor did he understand. He just took a nap, why did the village become like this?
He stayed in the village for three or four days without eating a single bite of food, and occasionally drank some water when he was thirsty. During these three or four days, he placed all the bodies in the wild and buried them in pits.
It was lucky to be honest, as he did not contract the plague despite being in contact with corpses for a long time.
It was not until four days later that an army entered the village. He recognized the army, it was the army of Daning.
He was brought before a general by two soldiers.
The general was wearing armor, with a sword at his waist, and at the age of twenty, he looked radiant and heroic. The thirteen-year-old was dressed in tattered clothes and had a dead look on his face.
"Where are the people in the village?"
"died."
"How did you die?"
"He was killed."
"Who?"
"do not know."
"How did you survive?"
"I was working on the field and fell asleep. When I woke up and went back to the village, I saw that this was it."
Hearing this, several soldiers around laughed out loud, although Lu Gou didn't know why they were laughing.
The general shook his head slightly, as if expressing emotion.
"What's your name?"
"Lou Dog."
"Do you want revenge?"
Hearing this, a glimmer of light seemed to ignite in Lu Gou's dead eyes, and he stared closely at the general in front of him. His bloodshot eyes were full of murderous intent.
The guards around the general subconsciously stepped forward and stood in front, but were waved away by the general.
The two men, one big and one small, stared at each other. Although Lu Gou did not speak, the general already had the answer.
"It was the Dongshi people who killed your entire village. If you want revenge, come with us."
After these words were spoken, the general left with his soldiers.
Lu Gou thought for a moment and followed the team, walking for more than ten days.
When it was time to eat, the soldiers around him would throw him some food and water. When it was time to sleep, the soldiers set up camp and he slept next to the tent.
When they reached the border, the general gave him a sword, incorporated him into the army, and trained him every day.
The appearance of his family and fellow villagers is always engraved in his mind, and he trains more seriously and hard than anyone else.
Perhaps he had a talent for martial arts, as his strength grew stronger and stronger. Although he was only thirteen years old, he could beat veterans on the battlefield in hand-to-hand combat.
The general was impressed by him and placed him by his side as a personal soldier.
He worked harder, not only training, but also helping with cleaning and taking care of the general. As time went by, the relationship between the two grew deeper and deeper.
In his spare time, the general would personally teach him how to use a knife, how to use a gun, how to fight, and would also tell him some stories from the past.
On the battlefield, although he was a personal soldier, he was always the one rushing to the front, with scars all over his body. The general did not stop him because he understood that Lu Gou needed to vent.
As time went by, he also gained a reputation in the army, "a fierce tiger and a fierce dog." The reason was that he was so fierce in fighting that all the soldiers recognized him.
With the support of the general, his status became higher and higher, and finally he became a captain of a thousand men.
In a later battle, the army was surrounded and the general who had led him all the way died. He was eighteen years old that year, and his whole body was full of strength. He chopped with a big knife for a whole day and night, leading the whole army to fight a bloody way out, but he only took away the general's body.
After that day, he did not lose heart, but became even more courageous. He and his army captured the capital of Dongshi Kingdom in one go.
The battle was a great victory. He fought a total of 46 battles, killed 328 enemies, and avenged the entire village.
But for some reason, he was not as happy as he had imagined, but instead a sense of loss came over him.
At the end of the battle, he was credited with four great achievements: being the first to reach the target, capturing the flag, beheading the general, and breaking through the enemy lines. For a time, he was at the peak of his career in the country.
The emperor gave him a reward, but it was just a reward. He was promoted several levels, from commanding a thousand men to commanding five thousand men.
But that’s all.
All the soldiers were puzzled as to why he was only promoted to such a low rank despite having made such great contributions.
Only he himself knows clearly, because he is of commoner origin and has no background.
He was 23 years old that year and chose to stay in the military camp because he had no home, no worries, and no place he wanted to go. He had become a commander, but he still wanted to be at the forefront of many battles.
Because he wanted to die, to die heroically in battle. Perhaps this would be a relief for him.
Pulling his thoughts back to reality, he looked at the 3,000 remaining soldiers behind him, whose momentum was far less than before. Because everyone understood that they were sent to attack the city just to be cannon fodder and consume the rolling logs and stones in the South Heaven Gate.
The Qingzhou Army has 30,000 soldiers. The Nantian Gate is a strategic location, and there are at least 10,000 soldiers stationed there. With just this few soldiers, what would be the point even if they killed all of them?
Besides, the enemy was rolling logs and stones, and raining arrows, so the number of people who could be killed was pitifully small.
Even though he was helpless, he had to obey military orders and they still had to kill with all their might.
"The whole army, attack!"
Lu Gou pointed his sword forward.
The soldiers charged forward feebly, but this time, the enemy they faced did not throw logs and rocks at them.
Looking up, they could only see a few spears pointed at them.
what's the situation?
Although they were puzzled, they still climbed up. Finally, they broke through the siege and someone killed them.
There were many Qingzhou soldiers on the city wall. Once they went up, several long spears stabbed at them at the same time.
Those who were sent to be cannon fodder were almost all the lowest in the barracks. The situation of shuttling back and forth among countless people to kill the enemy did not appear, but only corpses that were stabbed into sieves appeared.
