NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1607: Being dragged into the army again
When we entered the barracks just now, the officers had already told everyone that no matter what channel you learned about the frontline situation from, you must keep your mouth shut after entering the barracks. If anyone talks nonsense, they will be immediately executed by military law.
Seeing the shocked look on Sambik's face, Laf knew that this guy had never heard of it. He originally thought that his father had a wide range of connections and should have heard of the situation in the north. Now it seems that he has also been deceived, or he has not interacted with people in the army for many years.
Modira is indeed like this. When he chose to live in the countryside, he had actually drawn a clear line with the army. If he went back, he would probably not be like this now. So for Modira, staying away from his colleagues in the army is also very beneficial.
If you get too close to them, you will be easily dragged into the army again. Since the war when he retired, Modira sometimes has nightmares at night, just because he doesn't want to go to the army, but he didn't expect that he could hide so cleanly. Now his youngest son has been dragged into the army. So no matter how you want to get rid of the past, the court will remember it.
When the court is on the rise, your life may be protected, and you will get some benefits from time to time, but if the court goes downhill, you, a useful person, no matter what method you use, I am afraid you can't hide, unless you run to the desert to be a robber, then the court can't find you, maybe you can hide.
Of course, in Modira's heart, if he had known that the court had such an idea, he probably wouldn't have waited in the village, and he would definitely have taken his children to the depths of the desert early. Although there are all kinds of dangers there, and it is possible that he will starve to death tomorrow, but at least his life is in his own hands, which is much better than now.
After entering the army, no one knew what to do in the next minute. More importantly, they didn't know the tactics of the Tang army. The higher-ups were still hiding it. Only a few people knew the Tang army's tactics. How could they not be defeated if they went to fight directly?
After the two of them finished their whispers, they returned to the circle again. Many people were also asking each other about the news. No one remembered the prohibitions that had just entered the barracks. They just wanted to know what the future would be like, but unfortunately most of them were farmers. How could they know the situation on the battlefield? All the rest were groundless speculations, which brought great distress to this night.
Fortunately, the weather here is hotter, and there is no need for tents at night. These troops are newly recruited and have no corresponding tents at all. If you want to rest in a tent, you can only prepare it yourself. Everyone relies on their own lives, and then slowly closes their eyes, trying to make themselves quiet, but thinking of everything tomorrow, they can't fall asleep anyway.
"Why do you think the Tang army came here? Aren't they to the east of our Anton Governor's Mansion? As far as I know, the Anton Governor's Mansion is far enough from here, thousands of miles away. Are all of us in the middle bowing? Otherwise, how could they come to the capital?"
The little man said with his eyes closed. The question he raised was also what everyone was wondering. Didn't the Arab Empire just win? It defeated the Frankish Kingdom on the Western Continent and brought back a lot of their troops. Many people were given a slave in their families.
It's a pity that those slaves couldn't adapt to the local climate. Most of them died of illness, and only a small number survived. Those people were much taller than us, much stronger, and worked much better than the locals.
Just when they were about to enjoy life, who knew that the empire announced such news. The Tang army appeared in our north. Farmers who could have been farming well at home now had to follow the army to fight honestly. No matter how capable you are, the empire needs you at this moment, you have to take your weapons and livestock and contribute your strength to the empire.
This is what the conscription officers told them. Naturally, no one would express dissatisfaction in front of those people, but when everyone calmed down, they were all thinking about the same question, that is, from the Governor's Mansion of Anton to here, has the defense line of thousands of miles collapsed completely? Then what is the use of us going there?
Some people think further, that is, why should we provoke the Tang Empire? I heard that they are also an extremely powerful empire, and they are already a hegemon around them. Our land is already big enough, why should we provoke such a huge enemy? If we can't beat them, then what we have achieved before, won't it be nothing?
"Everyone shut up, no one is allowed to continue talking. If anyone is found to continue talking, military law will be dealt with tonight."
Just when someone was about to answer, the voice of the conscription officer came from a distance. This guy was like a black-faced god. Blood was flowing on his braid. I don't know which unlucky guy had just been beaten by him.
From morning till now, at least a dozen people have been whipped. There are barbs on the edges of this whip, and one whip will tear your skin and flesh. If you are whipped several times in a row, you may even lose your life.
There are all kinds of mosquitoes in the desert at night, and these mosquitoes come here following the smell of blood. If you don't get rid of them, these mosquitoes alone can bite you to death. It will take at most three or four days, and you may die here.
The black-faced god must understand all this. After all, he has been in the army for a long time. The reason why he knows it but still does it is to give everyone a warning, so that you can understand that if you violate the orders from above, you will be wounded and let these mosquitoes send you to Allah.
For a whole night, Sambik sometimes fell asleep and sometimes woke up suddenly. There was no time more uncomfortable than this night. He wanted to know what would happen in the morning, but he didn't want the morning to come, because at least he could sleep now. When the day dawned, they didn't know where the future was, and their fate would be completely handed over to others. (End of this chapter)
