Chapter 650: Mixing Fish Eyes With Pearls

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios freewebnov(e)l.com

These commoners knelt on the ground.

The Chen Army deliberately frightened them, forcing them to cry.

The miserable cry passed through the earth wall and entered the ears of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army.

They could only watch helplessly as those innocent people died tragically, they could not help.

This was no different from the most painful mental torture for the Eastern Expedition Army.

The wailing lasted all day.

The moment the sun set, the Chen Army raised their swords again.

All the cries stopped.

The world fell silent.

There was dead silence.

Tonight, the Chen Army did not even deal with the corpses. They let the silk-like miserable corpses be thrown on the empty ground and pecked at by crows that smelled of blood.

Every day after that, the Chen Army would capture a group of Liaodong commoners and force them to cry for help. Then, they would cruelly end their lives at sunset.

This lasted until the fifth day.

The soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army became very dispirited. They could risk everything on the battlefield to fight the enemy to the death, but they could not accept watching ordinary people be killed helplessly.

Some soldiers with poor psychological tolerance had already begun to show symptoms of being in a daze.

They began to fear the sun rising. They did not dare to face the eyes that yearned to live.

Xiao Juan knew that this was the goal of the marshal of the Chen Nation Army.

They had done all this to destroy the morale of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Now it seemed that their scheme had succeeded by more than half.

Next, as long as there was one last dose, the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army would completely collapse.

This strong medicine came quickly—

Today, the Chen Nation Army proudly showed off to the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army behind the earth wall.

“Come out and take a look. See what good things we brought you today?” 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝓵.𝓬𝒐𝒎

On the sentry tower, Tang Guixi watched as the Chen Army dragged out a group of ragged people.

Although those people were all covered in injuries and some of them even lost arms and legs, Tang Guixi still saw a few familiar faces inside.

Those were actually all soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army!

In the previous battle, the Eastern Expedition Army lost more than half of their troops because they did not have enough food.

Many of them were unfortunately captured.

Tang Guixi originally thought that the captives had been killed.

Unexpectedly, the Chen Army did not kill them.

At this moment, Tang Guixi watched as they knelt on the ground. The Chen Nation Military Scimitars were pressed against their backs, forcing them to lower their heads.

There were also Chen Nation soldiers who deliberately stepped on the places where they were injured and watched as they were in pain. The Chen Nation soldiers laughed maliciously.

A Chen Nation soldier brought a horse. He grabbed a captive with a broken leg and put the rope around the captive’s neck. Then he rode across the clearing.

The captive could only chase after him desperately, but he only had one leg. How could he catch up to the horse?

Soon he fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Seeing this, the Chen soldier flicked the reins hard, and the horse under him ran even faster.

The captive was dragged forward. His flesh was scraped, and his already broken body became even more mutilated.

Seeing the captive lying on the ground like a dead dog, the Chen Nation soldiers beside him laughed even more enthusiastically.

This scene deeply stimulated the spirits of the Eastern Expedition Army soldiers.

Although the commoners who had been killed a few days ago were pitiful, they were unrelated to the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army.

But it was different now.

The people who were being humiliated and abused now were their former comrades who had lived and died with them.

How could they endure the pain?

Many people in the Eastern Expedition Army could not help but cry.

They wanted to rush out to save them, but they were quickly stopped by their companions.

They were soldiers, soldiers who valued military orders more than their lives.

As long as General Tang did not speak, none of them could move.

On the sentry tower, the emotions and rationality in Tang Guixi’s heart were pulling desperately.

She knew this was an enemy trick. She couldn’t fall for it, but she really couldn’t watch her former subordinates be tortured to death!

What should she do?

At this moment, an arrow tore through the air and hit the Chen soldier on the horse.

The arrow pierced his chest.

Before the Chen Army could react, he died on the spot.

His eyes were wide as he fell straight off the horse.

The horse stopped.

At the same time, the laughter of the surrounding Chen soldiers stopped.

Tang Guixi suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction where the arrow had been shot. She saw Xiao Juan appear behind the earth wall.

He held a bow in his hand. The bowstring was still trembling gently.

Xiao Juan ignored the gazes of the surrounding people and continued to draw his bow and aim at the Chen soldiers.

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

Those Chen soldiers stood very close to the captives. As long as the arrowhead was slightly tilted, it would injure those captives.

This was also why the archers of the Eastern Expedition Army did not dare to attack.

They were afraid that if they shot an arrow, not only would they not kill the enemy, but they would also kill their comrades.

Xiao Juan did not have so many worries.

He released his fingers and shot another arrow.

This arrow accurately hit a Chen soldier again.

This time, all the Chen soldiers were afraid.

They hurriedly retreated and shot out the range of their bows.

The captives were thrown into the open.

Seeing this, Tang Guixi and the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what, those captives did not have to suffer inhumane abuse for the time being. They did not have to face cruel mental torture anymore.

However, this was not over.

When the sun set, those Chen soldiers would still aim their butcher knives at the captives.

Xiao Juan threw the bow to Meng Xizhou, who was following beside him.

He turned to leave and strode up the sentry tower to find Tang Guixi.

“This can’t go on.”

Tang Guixi’s expression was ugly. “Of course I know I can’t let them continue like this, but I can’t stop them.”

Xiao Juan said, “I have an idea.”

Tang Guixi gestured for him to speak.

Xiao Juan said, “Do you remember when we captured Heng City and captured those Chen Army captives?”

Tang Guixi naturally remembered. She frowned.

“But most of those prisoners are dead.”

Most of those captives had done many evil things. Tang Guixi had never thought of recruiting them. She dealt with them according to the crimes they had committed. Anyone who committed rape and murder was executed.

But there were always exceptions. There were a few honest people among the captives. They were left behind to perform hard labor in the military camp.

Tang Guixi said, “The remaining prisoners who are still alive are also insignificant soldiers. The Chen Army might not be willing to let our people off for them. ‘

Xiao Juan said, “Have you heard of the saying about mixing fish eyes with pearls?”

Tang Guixi thought for a moment before her eyes widened.

“Don’t tell me you want to… But this is too dangerous! If the other party finds out, you’ll definitely die!”

Xiao Juan asked, “Do you have a better idea?”

Tang Guixi was immediately speechless..
