C275 Soldiers and soldiers

Amidst his loud laughter, the Wooden Door opened its mouth and six or seven men walked out.

These men were all bare-chested, and their pants were tattered without any holes. Their bodies were pitch black, as if they hadn't had a bath for a month. Their hair was messy enough to roll on felt.

The oldest among them was in his forties or fifties, while the youngest was only in his teens. He walked out laughing, and some of them even had knives in their hands.

Through the open door, under the dim light of the oil lamp, the situation inside could be seen clearly.

Strictly speaking, it was not a house but a pig's nest. There was a lot of straw inside, and some tattered bedding was scattered on top of it.

A cracked porcelain basin was placed in the middle of the room. Inside the pot, it was pitch black and its composition could not be clearly seen.

From the looks of it, this group of people were having supper, so there was still an oil lamp burning.

However, they were just too poor. Not only were their clothes not covering their bodies, the things that were used to improve their lives were also like pig food.

How did a family of six or seven strong men end up like this?

A man with a small mustache seemed to be the head of the group. He asked, "Hello, what are you looking for?"

"Western Mountain Village, Cantonment Camp!" Jiang Xiaobai repeated himself.

"West Mountain Village, no Cantonment Camp." The bearded man circled Jiang Xiaobai, and stared at Jiang Xiaobai's clothes and asked: You grew a flat warehouse? Deliver food to us through the night? "Where is it? Where is your convoy?"

Jiang Xiaobai peeled off the clothes from the barn. There was a big "Cang" on his chest, it was obvious that it was his uniform that was responsible for taking care of the barn.

Jiang Xiaobai felt that their faces were unfriendly, he retreated a step and said: "I'm not here to send food, I'm here to find someone."

"What are you doing here without food?" With a face full of disappointment, the bearded man waved his hand and said, "Go back, you're not welcome here!"

"But Cantonment Camp …"

"Are you really stupid or just faking it? Could it be that you are a spy? " Big Beard became impatient and said: "This is the Western Mountain Village. We are the soldiers, but not the Cantonment Camp. We are the soldiers."

"Are you soldiers?" Jiang Xiaobai's eyes popped out.

The group of people in front of him were no different from beggars. How did he become a soldier?

If soldiers were like this, could they still fight?

"What? You don't believe me?" "Let me tell you, we are the soldiers' outpost, you have entered the camp, we can cut you down!" Although they said they wanted to chop him down, they were too lazy to even raise their knives.

In order to prove that he was really a soldier, the bearded man turned around and took out a broken gong from the house.

Soon, lights came on in several houses at the back. A dozen similarly ragged, sallow looking people walked out.

Although they were armed, these people were lazy, as soft as if they had not eaten their fill.

"Why are you knocking around?" A slightly plump man walked over.

"Chief, we have caught a thief. How should we deal with him?" The bearded man was laughing.

"Just the few of you cowards can catch the thief." Fatty curled his lips in disdain and said, "Which thief is blind enough to come to our West Hill Village and steal something?"

"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey when you were stealing soldiers?"

"Hahaha, I have a lion for him to steal!"

"Lice?"

"Stronger than you, all the lice on your body are starving!"

The group of people roared with laughter, as they did not take Jiang Xiaobai seriously at all.

Jiang Xiaobai finally believed that he had found the right place. This was the Western Mountain Village, and this was the Cantonment Camp!

It was said that the soldiers were auxiliary soldiers. They cultivated fields and built bridges to pave the way. During wartime, they were responsible for escorting food and medicine to treat the wounded. Their supplies were poor and their combat capabilities were poor as well.

But Jiang Xiaobai had never thought that they would be lacking to this extent.

This was not a soldier but a group of trapped refugees. The main purpose of the officials' acknowledgement of their identity was not to fight, but to prevent them from going out to harm others.

What a tragedy, for such a group of people to attack Yi Zhou City?

They probably wouldn't even need Jiang Xiaobai's help to get Fatty Fang to lead the team in a charge before they collapsed!

In other words, they were right. The government's decision to send them to war was just throwing away their burdens. If they died, there would be no need to pay for the food of these useless soldiers.

"Is there anything to eat?" After he finished laughing, the plump guy looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said: "As long as it's just a piece of biscuit, everyone in Western Mountain Village can call me whatever you want."

When they reach Yi Zhou City, when they see Widow Chen giving food to the common people, they would immediately surrender on their own accord.

Jiang Xiaobai sighed helplessly, and said: "I don't have anything to eat, but you all should know who I am looking for. His name is Chang Zilong, he's your Duyu. "

"Lord Chang?" The fatty smacked his lips and said, "Why are you looking for him in the middle of the night?"

"An important military report!" At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai was already regretting his decision.

There was no need for him to stop these trash soldiers. Even if they went, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

"Important military intelligence?" Fatty's eyes lit up as he asked, "Are the departure fees ready? Can we set off now?"

Jiang Xiaobai was extremely surprised. It seemed that they really wanted to set off for battle, such a group of people with undisciplined discipline!

Could it be that they still dared to fight? It didn't look like it at all!

Jiang Xiaobai said, "Mn … It's a private matter, I am friends with Lord Douyuhou's brother Chang Wei! "

"It's a private matter. Come back tomorrow!" Fatty yawned, waved his hand and said, "It's an important military place. No one is allowed to approach it. When tomorrow comes, go to the warehouse and bring a cart of grains here, you will naturally see Duyu. "

Which part of the country was like a military stronghold?

Jiang Xiaobai said: "This matter is urgent, I would like to invite all of you to introduce me, I am extremely grateful."

"There's no need to be grateful, just a recommendation... It's not impossible! " The fatty stretched out his hand and looked at Jiang Xiaobai eagerly.

This was clearly an act of shamelessness!

Jiang Xiaobai was furious in his heart, he grabbed onto the fatty's wrist and shouted with all his might: "Trash, take me to see Chang Zilong!"

Ah!" The fatty trembled in pain as he furiously shouted, "He's pinching me, take him down!

"Let go!"

"You dare trespass into the barracks, aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"

A few guys with weapons roared loudly, but they were just making a ruckus. None of them charged forward.

Jiang Xiaobai was enraged, he flew up and kicked away a guy on his left side. He reached out with his right hand, snatched away a guy's waist knife, placed it on the fatty's neck, and shouted: "Forcefully forcing me to make a move?"

"Master, I don't dare. I was just joking!" The fat man immediately knelt down and said pitifully, "Master, this servant will inform you right away!"

The fat guy knelt down, while his 20 plus subordinates retreated over 10 meters with a panicked expression on their faces.

Is this a soldier?

Jiang Xiaobai was furious in his heart, he picked up the fatty with his left hand, and the sheathed blade in his right hand, he shouted: "Lead the way!"
