Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 146 It’s all a cheap life anyway

Among these Korean servants, one of them had a Korean officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel on his shoulder straps.

He looked across the railway bridge with hatred in his eyes.

However, his current location was too close to the railway bridge, and he did not dare to make a sound. I could only grit my teeth and bury my head low.

Ten minutes passed, and he heard the Sakura team on the other side of the railway bridge curse and leave. Only then did he dare to raise his head.

He looked around and found that the soldiers who followed him also had angry expressions on their faces.

He gently patted the soldier next to him and motioned for them to exit quietly.

The lieutenant colonel knew that they could not stay here for long, so the lieutenant colonel planned to retreat to Beicheng first and then make long-term plans.

The soldiers around him understood what Lieutenant Colonel meant and nodded to him.

Seeing that his subordinates all understood what he meant, Lieutenant Colonel carefully stood up and slowly retreated towards Beicheng.

Lieutenant Colonel led his men around several streets, selected a relatively complete house, and then got in.

By this time, the sky had turned dark and the Daxia army had slowed down its attack.

The surrounding battlefield has also become much quieter, and only occasionally there will be a burst of gunfire, reminding everyone that they are still on the battlefield.

The lieutenant colonel did not dare to let his men light a fire. He was afraid that the light of the fire would attract the Daxia army.

Fortunately, although it is already autumn and the weather is getting colder, a few people can still resist it if they are huddled together.

The lieutenant colonel took the kettle handed over by a soldier and took two sips. Then he took out a handful of fried rice from his pocket and distributed it to the surrounding soldiers.

A few soldiers of the Goryeo Army have had their dinner.

"Sir, what should we do now?" A younger Korean soldier looked at the lieutenant colonel and asked in a low voice.

Everyone who was still eating fried rice was stunned when they heard the soldier's question.

Yeah, what are they going to do?

Now they, the Goryeo soldiers, are caught in the middle between Daxia and Sakura, suffering from both sides.

If Daxia wants to take Gaizhou, it will keep attacking. And from the looks of it, Daxia is the slowest, and the slowest will be to take Gaizhou North City tomorrow.

That's right, there are only two results they face, either surrender or be killed by the Daxia army.

They wanted to retreat, but the Sakura people blocking the railway bridge did not give them this chance.

The enemy wanted them dead, and so did their own people.

In fact, they, the Koreans, did not want to fight, let alone work for the Sakura Empire.

In their own words, Daxia, as the overlord of the East, was the suzerain state of the Koryo people for thousands of years.

Even the founding monarch of Goryeo once said, "You should serve the Lord as your father."

In modern terms, one should treat the dynasties of the Central Plains region with the same respect as one’s father.

What's more, the Central Plains Dynasty rescued Goryeo many times and avoided the disaster of Goryeo's destruction.

It can be said that the current Korean people are still grateful to Daxia, and they are not as hostile to Daxia after being ruled by Sakura for many years.

However, the Sakura people used bayonets to force them to go to the battlefield to fight Daxia. This kept the morale of the Goryeo servant army from rising.

After all, many Koreans of this generation were still bathing in the protection of Daxia three years ago.

Originally, the military morale was just fluctuating on the basic line. After witnessing his commander being killed by the Sakura people, Lieutenant Colonel and his men had completely broken with the Sakura people.

"Xiba, these Sakura people really don't treat us as human beings! Our team has obviously collapsed, why can't we retreat to the south of the city to rest!" After hearing the words of the young soldier, a Goryeo soldier suddenly felt a little worried. Said angrily.

"Jin Zaihuan, please keep your voice down!" Lieutenant Colonel Hearing Jin Zaihuan's words, he immediately scolded him.

"Brother Dongxu, we all come from the same village. Are you willing to watch us die in vain?" Jin Zaihuan looked at Lieutenant Colonel Cui Dongxu with an indignant look.

Cui Dongxu suddenly fell silent when he heard Kim Jae-hwan's words.

The people here who are still with Cui Dongxu are all his companions who came out of a village with him.

When they came out of the village and joined the Sakura Kingdom army, there were twenty of them.

But now, there are only seven or eight people left, and the rest have died on the battlefield.

Cui Dongxu still remembers how helpless and confused the eyes of his companions looked at him when they died.

They don't understand why they want to join this war that has nothing to do with them.

Originally, they lived in the village. Although they were poor, they were comfortable.

But when the people from the Sakura Country came to their village, these young men were forced to join the Sakura Country's army and become members of the Koryo Servant Army.

Compulsory recruitment is compulsory recruitment. After all, everyone has a cheap life. Who is working for whom is not selling his life?

But the problem is that your Sakura Empire keeps thanking the Sakura Koryo family, but in the end it labels the Koryo people as colonies and treats the Koryo people as cannon fodder.

What kind of death and difficult tasks are thrown to these Korean servants? How can they not feel resentful?

What was even more serious today was that Cui Dongxu and his group were in the north of the city and were beaten so hard by the Daxia Army that even their organization was broken up.

Strictly speaking, they should be asked to retreat at this time, because there is no organized team, which will only increase casualties on the battlefield.

But the captain of Sakura Junior High did not listen to the explanation at all and raised his hand to kill their co-captain.

You know, their commander was a colonel, who was an unknown number of ranks higher than the squad leader and second lieutenant, but he died like this.

This directly allowed Cui Dongxu and the others to see clearly the Sakura Empire's attitude towards their Korean people.

Again, they all have a cheap life anyway, who are they willing to sacrifice their lives for, not to sacrifice their lives?

Since Sakura Country does not regard them as human beings, it is not impossible to surrender directly to Daxia in order to find a way out.

You know, in the hearts of ordinary Koreans, they definitely recognize Daxia more than those who recognize Sakura Empire.

"Axiba, I've had enough. If it doesn't work anymore, let's surrender directly to Daxia! Forget about those who follow Daxia to fight against the Sakura Empire!" Cui Dongxu suddenly cursed.

During this period, he had been suffering. People from the same village died in front of him, which was a huge shock to him.

At this time, this idea suddenly came to his mind.

But then, he realized that he had spoken out what was in his heart, and he looked at his companions around him with some anxiety.

He is now a little unsure about what these people in the same village as him think.

He raised his head and glanced at the people around him, wanting to see their reactions, and found that his companions all around him were looking at him.
