He Mulan's nightmare lasted for several days, which even affected his practice during the day. Fortunately, her strength is really amazing, even if she is not in the state, she still passes through various projects with ease.
This made the hearts of A'Dan Zhiqi and others very complicated. Before they came to the barracks, they were also among the best warriors in their hometown, such as the Slayer and the Przewalski brothers, who were always praised by everyone as sturdy men. But this world really has geniuses that are born to know, even if they do nothing, they can kill mortals like them in seconds.
But Hua Mulan is also a very peaceful person. Even if they want to hate him, they can't hate him, so they can only hide in the little quilt and secretly get sullen, sulking her grandfather and mother for not being good at them too.
"Hua Mulan can't have such a nightmare, do you want to find a witch doctor?" Every night, Hu Lihun was made hairy by the sound of "kill, kill" and couldn't help but want to go to the toilet. A'Dan Zhiqi is a worrying life. Every night he sees He Mulan in such pain.
At this time, the emperor had not yet believed in Buddhism, Buddhism was only prevalent among the Xianbei nobles, and the general military households had difficulty finding a witch doctor. The witchcraft prevailed in the north, so it is not surprising that Hu Lihun said this.
"It's not good for Mulan, right? No ghosts and gods are allowed in the army." The Przewalski brothers shook their heads one after another. "Otherwise, Di Yefei and A'Dan Zhiqi, get out of the way, and let Sha Gui and our brother sleep next to Huo Chang. I heard that people who have killed people are suffocating, even if there are serious ghosts, they will be worried.
Di Yefei and A Dan Zhiqi left the mattress without saying a word, and Sha Gui and the Pushi brothers slept on both sides. Killing ghosts and believing in Buddhism, reciting scriptures when sleeping at night, I don't know which one might work. Since that night, He Mulan slept much more peacefully.
When He Mulan woke up, he found that the brothers Slayer and Pushi were sleeping beside him, and the listeners told him why this was the case. He was very grateful, and acquiesced to this arrangement.
They all thought that when He Mulan really went to the battlefield and killed a few crawly people, he would be full of suffocation, and there would be no more nightmares.
Only Na Luohun changed from gloating at the beginning to some vague guilt. He didn't know that this murderous aura was so harmful to people with unstable minds. After all, what he harmed was his comrade, not the enemy. He couldn't sleep every night, which was a bit too much.
So he tried his best not to trouble "Hua Mulan" during the day, and sometimes he helped a little, so shocked that He Mulan thought the sun was coming out of the west.
He Mulan has always had one less person in the fire, Hua Mulan, A Dan Zhiqi, Di Yefei, Na Luohun, Hu Lihun, Tuluo Daman, Shagui and the Pushi brothers, all of them are on fire. The little one was very curious.
Some guessed that it was after the nobles, and some said that they made a mistake and were locked up. The Platts brothers swore that all their companions would be promoted to the main army, so the tenth person who has never arrived is intriguing.
One less person doesn't have much effect on their fire, recruits rarely go to battle, less people, less people to open their mouths to eat, less people to occupy the seats, but everyone can't ask for it, until the winter, after the Rouran people began to be dispatched frequently, Di Yefei. Waiting for others to feel bad.
Lack of fire from people, you will suffer in battle.
He Mulan's nightmare finally came. One day during the drill, they felt the ground shaking, and the drums of war were beating in the direction of the central army, which was a sign that the army was leaving.
The left army also set off together as the guard army, leaving behind the angry people in the right army, who can't wait to fight.
"The military merits are given to the left army and the central army again!" The Przewalski brothers punched the pillar unwillingly. "It's like this every time. The first thing the general thinks about is the central army and the left army. Forget the central army, they are elites, but no matter how bad the right army is, it is not a coward on the battlefield. Why is it always the left army? military!"
"Isn't the right army the army with the largest number?" Luo Hun actually wanted to go to the middle army, but he came together because He Mulan came to the right army. Hearing the words of the Platts brothers, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful in my heart.
He practiced the kung fu of fighting on the battlefield. If he can't get on the battlefield, what else is there to do
"That's because what the Central Army and the Left Army didn't want came to the Right Army." Shagui sneered, "We are the best among the recruits, but if there are fewer soldiers and the military merits are not as good as others, then it must be out of the blue. No head."
The words of killing the ghost broke the mystery in one sentence, and the group fell silent.
Military households have no salary. The so-called military households are serving in the army, and everything they get is earned in battle. Most people want to fight, and most of them hope that it is their turn to fight, because only in this way can they not live on the scraps of others.
Everyone in the right army seemed to be holding back a lot of energy, trying to vent their emotions by practicing martial arts. Knowing the result of this time, He Mulan felt more uneasy than anyone else.
It wasn't until the next morning that the team chasing the Rouran returned to the main camp, and the military report came. He Mulan listened to everyone's discussion and knew that the result this time was exactly the same as the last time, and he was stunned for a day.
"Three thousand five hundred men fought against three thousand crawlies, but in the middle of the fight, another crawling group appeared, becoming three thousand five against four thousand. Fortunately, the central army was elite and Yingyang was there, and we lost seven hundred. Killed more than 2,000 crawlies, and escaped more than 1,000. The Chinese army is doing some military exploits, my good fellow, the heads are piled up into occasional hills, I heard that the Chinese soldiers have got a lot of things, at least one new horse!"
Hu Lihun likes to run around the most, and once he returns to the camp, he will report his "records" to the fellow firemen.
Hearing that the military merits are piled up like a hill, and the spoils are rich, several men slapped their thighs in chagrin.
"How did more than 700 of us die?" He Mulan died the last time he died. He didn't know how many people died. Besides them, the others died.
Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and sometimes one can die if they don't sit still. Once she went to the battlefield, she was no longer so optimistic.
"Jinying is more than half dead. They are on the flank, just in front of the creeping reinforcements."
The central army is divided into "gold, wood, water, fire and soil", with the elites as Yingyang; the right army is divided into five battalions of "red, blue, green, yellow and purple", and the elites are tigers; the left army is divided into five battalions of "wind, rain, thunder and lightning" There are separate battalions, and the elite forwards are called "Xiaoqi", and the recruit battalions of the three armies are all distinguished in black and white.
The 1st battalion of the Chinese Army is about a thousand troops and ten hundred troops. Although the number is small, the number of armed and veterans is the largest. This loss of companions is already a great blow.
"Anyway, it's already worth it for the opponent to leave three times as many people as us." Na Luohun said indifferently, "Isn't that the way war is, you die or I live, the Chinese Army is known as the elite among the elites. , 700 people died as soon as I attacked, and it's just like that..."
"Snapped!"
He Mulan patted the table with a livid face.
"If it was you, you might not be able to live, but you can't say it without shame!"
"Why are you so excited, I'm just talking casually!"
"That's 700 lives. They've already died in battle, and it's just like being told behind their backs!"
"You're a lunatic!" Na Luohun's eyes widened, "What does the seven hundred lives have to do with us! One day we die on the battlefield, and others say the same about us behind our backs, what's the difference? This is us life, our life!"
Seeing that Na Luohun and He Mulan were arguing, A'Dan Zhiqi and Hu Lihun appeased Hua Mulan and Na Luohun respectively. Di Yefei was grinding his halberd at this time, and when he saw the two arguing, he sneered and continued to do the work in his hands.
They are all too busy, and they have nothing to do. If you really want the army to fight, how can you tell how many people you have died and how many people I have died. That's all for later.
He Mulan knew that her current state of mind was not right, especially after the Chinese army fought, but she couldn't restrain her complicated feelings.
Na Luohun's words are just an introduction. Even if he doesn't comment on the dead soldiers of the Chinese army, it is estimated that there will be other things that will make her break out.
However, it wasn't just He Mulan who was depressed.
Along with the Chinese army, there were also many people from the left army. The left army, as the guard army who took care of the main army's horses and swept the rear to guard the two wings, also sent a lot of new recruits. This was originally a very normal thing. Even when Mulan was in the right army, when the strong wind came, he had to move things, and the main army had to cut off for them when they went to battle.
This time the battle was especially cruel. More than 700 people who died were killed by the Rouran people, and many people didn't even leave their bodies behind. It's not that the Central Army has never fought such a harsh battle, so for them, except for the deeper hatred of the Rouran people, there are almost not many negative emotions.
But for the Zuo Army, especially the few recruit 100s who were ordered to fight in the recruit battalion, this was tantamount to a huge blow.
"Ahhh!"
In the silent and dark night, there was a loud roar without warning.
It didn't look like a human roar at all, but rather like a beast's dying cry. In this extraordinarily unfamiliar roar, many people in the Zuo Army boot camp were awakened. This roar was like a prelude to some kind of horror, and everyone was infected with this hysterical and crazy atmosphere. Roaring in horror, his eyes straightened, and he tore his clothes.
The boot camp was in chaos all of a sudden. Those who were tearing their own clothes started to tear other people's clothes. The left army had always divided camps based on regions and villagers. The unit began to have a melee, and the fighting in the recruit camp became more and more fierce, which attracted the Zuojun Duwei who was in charge of the recruit battalion to quickly close the surrounding camp walls and report to the top.
The black battalion of the left army and the black battalion of the right army are very close, because the two sides share the same school grounds. When there was a faint noise outside, He Mulan suddenly woke up and woke everyone up.
"Wake up, wake up, is there an enemy night attack?"
"Who dares to attack the Montenegro camp at night, a camp with tens of thousands of people, where can you steal a sneak attack..." Poussin shook his head to wake up, and while denying He Mulan's statement, he put on his clothes and got up.
Montenegro is too cold, and there are still exercises in the morning. Everyone is used to sleeping with clothes, and only a few who are not afraid of the cold sleep in single clothes. At this time, Di Yefei, Tuluo Daman and the others quickly put on their clothes. He Mulan and Pusangpu Zhan and Na Luohun had already put on their coats and ran out of the door together.
Somewhere in the left army's recruit camp suddenly burst into flames, but the noise and noise did not happen there, but several right army commanders in the camp were ordering everyone to close the camp door.
"Is the Zuo Army on fire? Isn't there a night watchman in charge of guarding against the fire?" He Mulan looked at Zuo Jun's direction uncertainly.
"If there is a fire, we should put it out quickly, right? Close the camp door. If the fire reaches our side, wouldn't they all be burned to death!"
As soon as He Mulan's words came out, the faces of Luohun and Pusumpzhan turned ashen. After a while, other recruits from the black camp came out one after another from the tent next to Hei Yi. Seeing the chaos outside, they all shouted:
"What happened? Why did you close the camp door!"
"The left army is on fire? It's the north wind tonight! How can we close the camp gate!"
"If you don't want to be whipped, go back to your account! Otherwise, military law will deal with it!"
The recruits' generals all yelled and started driving people inside.
Camping is not as simple as most people think. Generally, a temporary wooden wall is surrounded between each camp. The long and short tree trunks are closely arranged in two layers. It is also to prevent the various camps from running around each other, causing shock camps.
The camp gate is not put down on weekdays, but there is a special team to guard it, and entry and exit are in vain, unless you can fly out with wings. This was also the reason why He Mulan wanted to secretly go out to deliver letters but couldn't find the opportunity. Each camp has a campus and other facilities, and there is really no reason to go to camp.
The movement of the left army's recruit battalion is getting louder and louder, and the right army has more thorns than other places.
One of the captains probably had a headache from the noise of the crowd, and shouted loudly after getting very angry: "The black camp of the Zuo Army is 'Ying Xiao'! If you want to die, you will open the camp door and let you pass!"
The two battalions are connected, so he has this roar.
Camp howl
For a time, no matter how rebellious the recruits dared to make a sound, they all entered the tent obediently.
He Mulan didn't know what Ying Xiao was, but looking at the expressions of the others, he knew that it was not a good thing. They entered the camp, Di Yefei, Tuluo Daman and others curiously asked what happened, Platts The brother looked a little flustered and began to suggest:
"There is a 'battalion whistle' in the black camp of the Zuo Army. We, we should prepare the armor and weapons. If there is a big trouble, maybe it will come to our side."
"Ying Xiao? How could Ying Xiao?"
Di Yefei said incredulously: "Even if it is a Han military household, this kind of thing would never happen!"
Killing Ghost seemed to have never heard of Ying Xiao, so he asked what Ying Xiao was.
He Mulan actually wanted to ask, but did not dare to speak. Because this seems to be very common knowledge of military households, but it is not often found.
Tuluo Daman and the others knew that Killing Ghost was a slave, and began to explain it at length. While explaining, he did not forget to start preparing the armor and weapons, just like encountering a real night attack.
It turned out that Ying Xiao refers to the sudden burst of inexplicable screams in the middle of the night or in the early morning in the military camp. Some have nightmares, and some are just crazy. The collapse of this person will then drive a large number of soldiers to go crazy and start random attacks.
Sometimes the screaming people wake up in a state of madness, slashing and killing people in the same camp, while others bite and beat each other, burn, kill and loot. There is no wolf at all.
After the battalion roar, a large number of deaths were often accompanied, some committed suicide, and some soldiers who had gone mad began to attack others indiscriminately.
This kind of thing is not even dared to be suppressed by the military, because in ancient times people did not understand what happened to psychology and mental disorder after being suppressed for too long. It is to isolate the camp where the roaring occurred, and then dispatch the truly experienced elites to stop it, so as to prevent the situation from worsening to the serious side.
When He Mulan heard that she had a nightmare at night, she looked crazy and wanted to kill someone, so she couldn't help but turn pale.
She had been in this state a while ago, as if there was a string in her heart that was so tight that it would break at any time.
The other Tonghuo also thought of He Mulan's gaffe, and Tuluo Daman shouted on the spot: "My God, it's fortunate that Hua Mulan is not crazy, if he is crazy, who in our tent can escape? Get rid of his poisonous hands?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Daman Tuluo, your mouth is too stinky!"
A'Dan Zhiqi and Di Yefei immediately stopped him. Everyone was nervous when Ying Xiao was joking. What if Hua Mulan also went crazy
Others unconsciously touched their throats and hearts, imagining that if Hua Mulan suddenly went crazy in her sleep, hacking and killing...
giggle.
Hu Lihun's upper and lower teeth were already fighting.
"It's okay, I'm not that crazy." Although He Mulan said it beautifully, she didn't have any confidence in her heart. "Besides, you are not that weak."
"Although this is true." The Platts brothers were a little surprised. "However, most of Yingxiao has evil spirits at work, all kinds of sneaky upper body, no matter how powerful people are on weekdays, they can only stand by when they encounter sneaky monks. Zuo Jun is afraid that there is some particularly timid..."
He was not even halfway through speaking, when Luo Hun suddenly pulled out his saber nervously and shouted to the outside of the tent: "Who is it! Who is outside!"
choke-
The sound of Luo Hun's iron blade unsheathed in the middle of the night, in a tense atmosphere where everyone was screaming for the camp, really shocked everyone to death. Hu Lihun's expression was as if Na Luohun had suddenly gone mad, and the others were probably the same.
Only He Mulan, who had received modern higher education and did not believe in such things as evil gods, immediately responded to Na Luohun's words. He silently picked up the spear with his toes, and opened the tent door.
Sure enough, there were people standing outside the door, not one, but several.
They were wearing robes above the school captain's level, and everyone had a solemn expression. When they found that not only did no one relax their vigilance in Hei Yi's tent, but everyone was well-armored and extremely cautious, they couldn't help but look at each other, revealing a great deal of expression. A relieved expression.
He Mulan and others practice every day, and naturally they are familiar with most of the generals who train troops and the captains in charge of the camp, but none of them know them, so He Mulan keeps the spear in his hand and frowns tightly. Keep an eye on them.
"It is worthy of being the strongest centenarian in the right army recruit battalion."
The leader showed the flag.
'Black One' obeyed the order and was ordered by the general. Everyone from the black camp and the black one followed us to guard the gate connecting the two camps to prevent people from the left army camp screaming from fleeing to the right army. If you see a fellow army rushing to the door, don't tolerate it, kill without mercy! "
Kill without mercy
He Mulan squeezed the spear tightly and did not respond.
Na Luohun and several others got the order, and seeing He Mulan still holding the spear in a daze, they immediately bent down to receive the order, took the weapon and started to follow the group of Shangguans out.
He Mulan gritted her teeth and followed them out the door. Outside the door, the other nine fires in Hei Yi's 100-strong team were coming out one after another, rushing to the front of the camp.
"Chang Huo, don't worry, since the Chinese army is here, there shouldn't be anyone in the recruit camp who can rush to the camp." A Shan Zhiqi didn't know what He Mulan was nervous about, so he could only comfort him according to his own thoughts. "This is Ying Xiao, and there is no way."
Ying Xiao was terrifying, from the generals of the three armies to the ordinary recruits, everyone shuddered, and if you add the words of Shen Gong, it will make these people who lick blood on the edge of the knife almost collapse.
They rushed to the front of the camp at a very fast speed, and saw that there were already many recruits from the second and third blacks standing behind the camp wall. The door, gave way to the sides, let them go out and guard outside the door.
When He Mulan and the others were very close to the camp gate, they heard all kinds of shrill roars, reprimands, and shouts for help. People who knew Xingjun pushed out abruptly, and everyone was already mentally prepared for bad.
But even so, the black one hundred people still couldn't believe what happened in front of them.
- This is simply hell on earth.
The author has something to say: there is another chapter, um, seems to have suddenly turned into a ghost story? Regardless, the style of prayer is a book that covers everything.
Ying Xiao is a real thing, and some people use shocking and bombing to describe it. The most powerful is Ying Xiao. According to superstition, the bombing of the battalion is an ominous omen that the troops are facing extinction. When the bombing of the battalion occurs, in order to avoid disaster, the troops generally take the defensive and cancel all offensive plans. The bombing of the camp is actually a special kind of supernatural event. Thousands of soldiers sometimes scream and scream at the same time. Some psychologists say that the bombing of the camp may actually be a kind of collective hypnosis phenomenon.
