"If you don't kill the Northern Barbarians, you can die on your own. Make your choice! After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, I will not show any mercy! "
Xiao Ruxun stared at the new soldiers with a murderous look. Someone beside him immediately lit a stick of incense.
The new soldiers looked at each other, their faces full of fear and confusion. After a while, when the stick of incense was about to burn out, someone took the lead and grabbed a machete. He held it tightly in his hand and roared as he charged towards the captives.
The soldiers' herd mentality was more serious.
If there was a first, there would be a second. Compared to dying, it was better to kill others.
Xu Guangqi looked at the scene and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Doing so was a little too much.
"Governor, isn't this a little too much? Let's not talk about whether these soldiers can handle it. Just killing the captives is a very ominous thing. Can't we use other methods? "
Xiao Ruxun raised his head and looked at Xu Guangqi.
"Other methods? Such as? "
Xu Guangqi's mouth was agape, his mind was blank.
Did the Sage's books mention such things?
"Other than this, do you think there is a better way to let these cowardly soldiers summon up their courage to face the enemy?"
Xiao Ruxun asked again, but Xu Guangqi still did not know how to answer.
Xiao Ruxun shook his head and sighed deeply. Looking at the killing scene in front of him, he suddenly had an idea.
"Xu Guangqi, you go too. Because you are a scholar, I will allow you to use the gun to kill a Northern Barbarian in front of me. If not, you can leave. I don't keep useless people here."
Xu Guangqi was stunned.
Xiao Ruxun's sudden request stunned Xu Guangqi.
You want me to kill?
Kill?
I …
Before Xu Guangqi could react, Xiao Ruxun took a flintlock from one of his guards and threw it at Xu Guangqi's feet.
"Pick it up, load it, aim, and kill a Northern Barbarians."
Xiao Ruxun's order was extremely cold. His eyes were also extremely cold. His words were filled with an irrefutable coercion, causing Xu Guangqi to feel confused and frightened at the same time.
This was the first time Xiao Ruxun had spoken to him in such a cold and forceful tone since his arrival.
"Why aren't you picking it up? Xu Guangqi, you've been here for a while. What are you doing here? What do you want me to teach you? What do you want to know? Do you think I can teach you the things I learned on the battlefield just by saying them out loud? "
Xu Guangqi looked at Xiao Ruxun in bewilderment, speechless.
"On the battlefield, there is no distinction between civil and military officials. There are only comrades and enemies! If you don't kill your enemies, you will be killed by them! Pick up the flintlock and kill a Northern Barbarian for me to see! "
Xiao Ruxun pointed at the killing field in front of him.
When the first soldier chopped off the head of the first Northern Barbarian who was tied up, the blood sprayed on his face and the people behind him. The hot feeling stimulated many things that did not exist. Some people were so scared that they wet their pants. Some people suddenly had a bloodthirsty smile on their faces.
Now, that place had become a killing field.
This was not the first time Xu Guangqi had seen a killing field up close, but it was the first time he was asked to kill someone.
When had he ever killed anyone?
He was a scholar, a High Scholar, a civil official. In the future, he would ascend to the Emperor's palace to govern the country. If his hands were stained with blood, could he still ascend to the Emperor's palace? Could he still represent the Emperor and govern the country?
He was a scholar. Scholars should not kill people. This was not something that scholars should do.
The word 'kill' had never appeared in his life.
He had always thought that these two words would never appear, so now that they had suddenly appeared, he felt very surprised.
How could this be? How could it appear?
Xiao Ruxun stood up and walked to Xu Guangqi. He bent down and picked up the flintlock flintlock. He then asked for a wooden hammer, lead bullets and gunpowder from his bodyguard. He personally loaded the flintlock for Xu Guangqi. All he had to do was aim and pull the trigger.
He held the loaded flintlock in his hand and extended it to Xu Guangqi.
"Take it."
Xu Guangqi looked at him in shock.
"Take it!"
With an angry roar, Xu Guangqi was shocked. He involuntarily extended his hand. Xiao Ruxun stuffed the flintlock into his hand.
"Go kill a Northern Barbarian for me to see! Go! "
Xiao Ruxun pointed at the murderous Purgatory Field.
Xu Guangqi looked over and saw a hellish scene.
"No … no … I … I don't kill!"
Xu Guangqi's body trembled.
"You don't kill? If you don't kill, then what are you doing on the battlefield? Sightseeing or experiencing life? This is a battlefield, not a safe military camp. In front of you are a hundred thousand Northern Barbarians. They could come down to the south at any time. Including me, there is a risk of dying on the battlefield. What right do you have to stay out of this? "
Facing Xiao Ruxun's aggressive attitude, Xu Guangqi panted heavily and said, "Governor … Governor! I am a scholar! I am … a High Scholar! I don't kill! I don't kill! "
Xu Guangqi threw the flintlock flintlock.
"There is no distinction between scholars and warriors on the battlefield! There are only those who kill and those who are killed! Which one do you want to be?! The one who will be killed?! "
Xiao Ruxun grabbed Xu Guangqi's collar. Xu Guangqi was unable to resist and was brought in front of him by Xiao Ruxun. He faced the murderous aura of a hundred thousand people.
He felt that his body was about to lose all feeling.
"You have been in my camp for more than a month. What have you been doing? Wandering around the camp? Asking all sorts of ridiculous questions? Showing your ignorance and naivety? Did I spend a portion of my rations to feed a useless High Scholar like you as a mascot?
I don't mind giving this ration to a soldier, a medic, or even a cook! They are all contributing to the war! Useless people do not exist in these camps. Look at everyone here. Who doesn't have their own duties? As for you, you are that useless person!
I thought that you would change quickly and realize the cruelty of the camp and the cruelty of the battlefield. But you think too highly of yourself. You look at the entire war with an aloof attitude. Not only do you not contribute, you even point your fingers and give orders!
Xu Guangqi, who do you think you are? The Literati Star, who transcends thousands of people? Let me tell you. On the battlefield, you are not even comparable to a donkey! Even this donkey can transport my rations! What about you? You are just a freeloader! "
Xu Guangqi was stunned by the scolding and opened his mouth. After a while, his eyes were filled with anger.
"No! No! No! I am a High Scholar! How can I not be comparable to a donkey?! I am a High Scholar! A High Scholar who fought and killed hundreds of thousands of people! What right do you have to say that I am not comparable to a donkey?! "
"What useful things did you do in the barracks? Tell me! Tell me! "
Faced with Xiao Ruxun's questioning, Xu Guangqi was speechless.
"What's the difference between you and a useless person? Besides being literate! "
