The villain who dressed as a woman

Chapter 62 Killing Deserters
Three days later, it was getting closer and closer to the frontier.

After crossing a mountain and stepping through a forest, you will arrive at the location of the frontier military camp.

Gu Mu didn't sit in the carriage, but rode a horse by himself.

He saw a few small dots ahead, slowly descending from the top of the mountain.

When a few dots approached them, Gu Mu finally saw clearly that they were people in ragged clothes with blood gushing from their bodies.

Some of them wore armor, but the helmets were lost somewhere.

Some still held a spear in their hands, but there was no blood on the spear.

They seemed to have just experienced a war, their faces were dusty, and they looked very embarrassed.

"Your Highness, it's a deserter." An elite soldier with many battles said immediately.

This place is very close to the frontier. At this moment, the frontier is in a frontal battlefield, but those people have thrown away their armor and armor and stayed away from the barracks. What is it if they are not deserters?
Those deserters trembled when they heard the word "Your Highness".

Looking up again, an elite soldier took out the token in his hand to show his identity.

And the person in the middle, wearing a black python robe, has an indifferent and murderous demeanor.

They knew that His Highness would lead the troops to conquer.

But they didn't expect to be so unlucky. Just after fleeing the frontal battlefield, they ran into the regent who was rushing to the frontier.

Their feet softened, and they all knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, please forgive me. The battlefield is too cruel. 2 of us fought against 10 enemy troops, and we retreated steadily. Even General Shen Ci and General Meng were injured. We I was thinking about the old and the young at home, so I was confused for a while..."

"Yes, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

The six deserters all begged for mercy.

They were all scarred and scarred. It wasn't that they didn't go to the battlefield, but after they went to the battlefield, they had experienced such a cruel war and escaped after being scared out of their wits.

It can be seen that the frontier battlefield is cruel at this moment.

Gu Mu thought of those wounded soldiers who sacrificed their lives for justice when they gave away penicillin, and also thought of the young boy Wang Shiqiang who swore to die to defend the country.

There are warriors, and naturally there are deserters.

"They kill the enemy on the battlefield, and they may die on the battlefield at any time, but you choose to be deserters and use their life and death to buy you time to escape." Gu Mu spoke slowly, with an indescribable indifference in his tone: "I Forgive you, the enemies, will you spare those soldiers who killed the enemy on the battlefield?"

Now that he is on the battlefield, he absolutely cannot tolerate deserters.

Those people's eyes widened in despair, and a flash of saber flashed.All those people's heads fell to the ground, blood was constantly bubbling from their necks, and their missing parts fell to the ground.

Only if these deserters die, it will be fair to those Jiang Si who died for the country.

Only then can the atmosphere of the barracks be corrected.

Gu Mu slashed the knife immediately, on the knife, there were drops of blood sliding down the tip of the knife and falling to the ground.

It hit the spiky grass on the ground.

Then it soaks into the ground and disappears.

With a twist of his hand, the knife was inserted back into the scabbard of the elite soldier beside him.

Almost in the blink of an eye, there were only six corpses left in front of the original six deserters.

"The situation in the frontier must be very serious." Gu Mu looked ahead. Behind the hill, there were [-] soldiers from the frontier, fighting against the [-] soldiers of the enemy.

Moreover, three full days had passed since the news was received in the capital and when Gu Mu rushed to the border.

"Drive!" Gu Mu pulled the reins and hurried to the frontier.

Even if he didn't see the scene on the battlefield, he could still imagine that at this moment, it must be horrible.

Gu Mu led two hundred elite soldiers to gallop on horseback,

The exhaustion of traveling day and night was forgotten by them.

They know their brothers on the frontier need them.

They know that this step cannot be retreated.

Once retreated, not only the frontiers will fall, but also several cities near the frontiers.

And, eternal shame.

But fortunately, not only their [-] elite soldiers, but also [-] soldiers are about to arrive.

Gu Mu stepped into the barracks on horseback.

Different from the excitement before.

I haven't seen them for a short period of time, and the barracks is dead.

Empty, with no popularity in sight.

After several days of war, more than half of the soldiers in the barracks were killed or injured.

"Your Highness." General Meng was sitting outside the tent sharpening his knife. When he saw Gu Mu, his eyes lit up. He immediately stood up and gave a military salute.

"How's the battle going?" Gu Mu's expression turned serious. The empty barracks seemed to have explained everything.

Sure enough, General Meng's expression quickly darkened: "There were 320 soldiers, 950 died, and there were 370 soldiers left.

More than two-thirds died!
Shen Ci also came out of the barracks at this time, his expression was calm, but there was still deep sadness in his eyes, when he saw Gu Mu, he knelt down abruptly, holding his sword in both hands: "Your Highness, I failed to win the battle. I am willing to take the blame for this battle!"

"Escape is not a way to blame yourself." Gu Mu said lightly.

He knew that Shen Ci was blaming himself for the dead soldiers.

"These days, in the face of the enemy's menacing and sudden attack, you can hold on and not take half a step back, which is not bad."

With [-] against [-], we persisted on the frontal battlefield for three days without annihilating the entire army or retreating half a step.

In Gu Mu's heart, he can be regarded as a qualified general.

"What's going on now?" According to the enemy's one-time offensive of sending an army of [-], it must be a big push to enter the Southern Dynasty.

It must be impossible for the soldiers to rest temporarily in the barracks.

Speaking of this, the expressions of General Meng and Shen Ci are slightly better.

General Meng took the lead and said: "General Shen planned to lead the enemy to the canyon to the west, so we pretended to be retreating steadily and retreated towards the canyon. .”

"At this time, the soldiers who had been ambushing in the canyon for a long time, as soon as we crossed the canyon, they pushed down the rocks that had been prepared and blocked the canyon. Only less than [-] enemy troops chased us through the canyon and were killed. We annihilate them all."

"As for the other enemy troops, because they were blocked by the rocks, they could only come around from the mountain, and it would take at least two days."

Having said that, General Meng looked at Shen Ci with admiration.

It's easy to say, but if you really want to lead the enemy army over, you can't make a mistake.

But fortunately, Shen Ci's one step counted as three steps, which bought them some time to breathe.

To be honest, General Meng never thought that this young general, who looked more like a scholar, was not only courageous and insightful, but also had such a strategy.

"How many enemies have you annihilated?" Gu Mu asked.

General Meng lowered his head in shame: "It almost happened to be a tie, killing more than [-] enemy troops. This is still in the case of annihilating [-] enemies in the battle of the canyon."

It is the most difficult to fight with less against many.

Before Gu Mu crossed over, he often fought with enemies in the Canyon of Kings.

If one person is facing five opponents, unless he is a master player, let alone retreating completely, being able to change one by one is already the limit.

"Well done." Gu Mu gave a positive evaluation.

Both General Meng and Shen Ci widened their eyes in surprise.

At this moment, even if His Highness wants to vent his anger because of panic, even if they have indeed tried their best, but in such a severe situation, it is not too much to scold them.

But His Highness, except for the tight eyebrows, did not intend to anger them at all.

They knew that there were [-] soldiers on their way to support.

But including the remaining soldiers in the barracks, it does not exceed [-].

As for the enemy army, there are still more than [-] soldiers left.

As for the strategy of the canyon, it is impossible for the enemy to be fooled a second time.

Therefore, even if His Highness led the troops to conquer personally, history would just repeat itself.

Perhaps 3 of them were exchanged for 3 of the enemy's army, and the remaining tens of thousands of the enemy's army could still break through the border and capture cities belonging to the Southern Dynasty.

Your Highness, why are you so calm?
　Thanks for the reward
