Chapter 1058 The Cruelty of War
As night fell, the general looked in the direction of the border and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Although he has successfully escaped from the Qin army's artillery, the general knows that the Qin army will definitely catch up within a week, and it is not permanently safe now.
Judging from Qin Jun's speed, he should come up with a solution immediately.
But even if the elders have nothing to do with Qin Jun, what can they think of here? The general sighed and said to the people in front of him.
"All the generals, go back and rest. We must strictly guard the outskirts of Valen Town. As for the danger of the Qin State attacking us at any time, we must be careful."
Hearing the general's order, all the generals nodded and left the general's camp.
They did not live in the urban area of Valen Town, but chose to camp in the outer defense of Valen Town. On the one hand, they did not gather together with the residents' living areas.
On the other hand, it was also to protect the people in the town when Qin State attacked Valen Town.
Having said that, if the Qin army really attacked, so what if the army was stationed here?Not to mention protecting these people, even a general is powerless to protect himself.
As everyone left, the general also came outside the tent, looking up at the bright moonlight, the night in Valen Town felt a chilly feeling, but the general felt that this chill could make his thoughts clearer.
The situation of the Siam Empire has been extremely bad. This is the future that the general can predict, but after all, as long as he is still alive, he cannot give up lightly. What he protects is the army and the people of the entire country.
Hundreds of thousands, millions of people of the Siamese Empire are waiting for the general's triumphant return, but the current Qin army is too powerful, and some things are difficult to accomplish even if they work hard.
The general didn't have a clue, and he kept walking towards the river. The sparkling lake seemed to attract the general.
This lake is not far from the military camp. It is called Lake Warren. Why is the water and soil in this area so fertile?I'm afraid it can't grow so fertile here.
This border land cannot support so many people.
The general sat on a stone on the surface of the lake. The lake water was very clear, and he seemed to be able to see himself under the lake water by the moonlight.
His mind was full of the war between the two countries, and the general was fascinated by the lake water. Suddenly, waves appeared on the still lake.
The stone jumped on the lake, which also made the general look back.
It was a little boy.
The boy didn't seem to be very old, he was not dressed luxuriously, and there was dust around his trousers, he looked very naughty.
But why did this person appear around this tent?
The general felt strange, and drove directly to the boy's side.
"It's getting late, there will be wild beasts around here, not to mention that no one in your family has said that there are Qin troops stationed outside Valen Town now?"
"This town is always in danger, especially here, as it's the first area to come under fire."
But the little boy didn't have much fear of the general's words, so he said to the general.
"Didn't you appear here too? Are you not afraid of the Qin army's artillery?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm a soldier. For the sake of the people of the entire empire, I have no choice but to stay here and slow down the speed of Qin's taking down the Siamese Empire. We have nothing to do."
The general shook his head, what can he do now?Everyone has seen the power of the Qin State, let alone confrontation, even if it is only able to defend, so that the army will suffer less damage, and the general will be satisfied.
"Looking at your appearance, you should be an officer."
"This is not something you should inquire about. Now you need to go back to where you should be. Don't come again after this Lake of Valencia."
After all, the Qin army can start a war at any time, even if it is hiding at home, it will probably be affected, let alone here.
There are no defensive shelters here, looking at the little boy's thin appearance, if Qin Jun's shells fall, he will only have a dead end.
But the boy seemed indifferent to what the general said.
"Go home? There is still a home. My parents have already died in the battle. If it is really counted, I am not a citizen of the Siamese Empire."
The general looked at the child in front of him, for a moment he didn't know what to say...
"Previously, this town of Valenne did not belong to the Siamese Empire, and the reason why it was controlled was not the same after it was occupied. My parents died because of the previous battle, and I barely survived by relying on Lake Valenne. come down."
"If we talk about going home, I think this lake in Valencia should be my home."
As the boy said, it seemed that war had long been out of his mind. Perhaps in this world, there was nothing worth caring about for the little boy, which is why he was so unafraid of anything.
Looking at the general in front of him, the little boy also said directly.
"These countries are like this. For some land, fighting for some land and removing some sacrifices, there is nothing fundamentally changed, at least for our people."
It's just a name change, but because of this battle, many soldiers will die. This is indeed a difficult situation to accept and change.
Following the boy's words, the general also nodded. After all, what the little boy said just now made sense, so the general couldn't help saying the same thing.
"This has also been carried down from ancient times to the present. Any country hopes that its land will not be violated, but it still wants to invade other countries to increase its own territory."
"The same is true for the Siamese Empire. It has always recovered and invaded other countries, but in the current situation, Qin State has come to recover many territories of the Siamese Empire, and we have also become the defensive disadvantaged party."
After the general finished speaking, he shook his head all the time. The current two countries can be regarded as insignificant. The Siamese Empire does not have any defensive capital at all. Just like the border, it will be easily taken by the entire Qin State.
But when the little boy heard the general's words, he didn't take it seriously, but shook his head directly, rejecting what the general just said.
"The terrain of Valen Town looks flat and easy to become a battlefield, but it is not. If the layout is suitable and some strategies are adopted, this Valen Town is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Hearing what the little boy said, the general was also very surprised, and looked at the little boy and asked questions directly.
"You mean, you have a better way to defend Valen Town?"
"I can only say that for Valen Town, it is indeed a small town that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
