The inside of the White Lotus Sect's camp cannot be directly seen, but the women, children, old and weak people on the outside are obviously not living a good life.
Some members of the White Lotus cult were holding wooden sticks and supervising the construction of their houses.
The young and strong among them were monitored by the supervisors to cut down trees and do various things that consumed their physical strength.
"Brother Zhang, what should we do now?"
Li Shuo asked softly.
Everyone focused their attention on Zhang Hun. Zhang Hun carefully observed the camp in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face after a moment.
"I thought these people were so powerful, but I didn't expect them to be just a bunch of rabble!"
"Look, the camp these people have set up has leaks everywhere... It doesn't take too many people, as long as the captain and three hundred elites can defeat it!"
Everyone followed Zhang Hun's instructions and nodded one after another.
indeed.
Even ordinary people who are not familiar with military strategy can see obvious differences from the comparison between the beggar camp and the camp in front of them.
Although the Beggar Army is also a refugee army, the main core of the army is the powerful Han people! They are not ordinary people at the bottom who are not proficient in any knowledge.
The core and the leader are different, so the situations displayed by the two forces are naturally different.
"Brother is right!"
Everyone said convincingly. Let go of the worries in my heart.
"Although these people are not very good, when it comes time to change the guard, we will definitely find the three people we have solved... We don't have much time!"
"Find a target and arrest him first, and see if we can get more information through interrogation!"
Zhang Hun said.
The White Lotus Sect camp is located near the woods.
Under the supervision of Bailian soldiers, more than a dozen men kept cutting down trees. They were so tired that they were covered in sweat.
boom!
A tree as thick as a thigh fell down, sending up smoke and dust.
After successfully cutting down a tree, these men finally got a rare break.
The guarding Bailian soldiers waved their hands in disgust, and the dozen men hurriedly hid not far away to rest, and then the next wave of strong men were escorted to continue cutting down the trees.
The camp that accommodated ten thousand people was still very simple, and a large amount of wood was needed to make fires for cooking or to build houses.
The White Lotus Sect needs to build a complete camp in the shortest possible time, so the young and strong among the refugees need to work continuously. Everyone is no exception.
"These incense-burning offenders have kept us tired for most of the day and haven't given us any food! They are trying to starve us to death!"
Wait until the White Lotus Soldiers are farther away.
One of the men couldn't help but curse in a low voice. The faces of other people were also very ugly.
They were all people who had been searched in all directions by the White Lotus Cult soldiers these days, and were forcibly collected and brought back. They thought that when they came to the White Lotus Cult camp, at least they would not have to worry about the wild beasts in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, the members of the White Lotus Sect did not regard them as human beings.
They were forced to build camps, cut down trees and dig rocks every day. When they were tired all day long, they were only given a little food and water to survive.
Within two or three days, they all quickly lost weight.
"Our bodies can't last a few days in this situation. If we give it another three or four days, we're afraid we'll be exhausted to death..."
Another man also said.
"How about running away?"
I don't know who suddenly said this, and the dozen or so men suddenly fell into silence.
The man who just spoke gritted his teeth and said, "I think this idea is good. We must find a way to escape, otherwise we will wait for death if we stay here!"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on a muscular man with a black beard.
"Brother Jiang, it's up to you to make the decision whether you want to leave or not. We all listen to you!"
The man with a black beard, known as Brother Jiang, looks like a powerful and mighty man at first glance.
In fact, if he hadn't killed several White Lotus soldiers before coming to the camp, he might have been accepted into the White Lotus Sect long ago.
It was precisely because he showed enough strength by killing the White Lotus priest that he gained the admiration of other men. It became the core of more than a dozen people.
Brother Jiang touched the beard on his chin, his eyes flashing continuously.
"What you said is right. The only way we can survive is to escape, and we have to do it as soon as possible! Otherwise, if we wait another day or two, we will be so hungry that we won't have the strength to run!"
"Just in time, now is a rare opportunity!"
Brother Jiang inadvertently looked at the sparse and relaxed White Lotus sect in the distance. Perhaps he thought that the old, weak, women, children and young adults who were being held hostage did not dare to resist, so the White Lotus sect's guards were not tight.
They are originally an army composed of refugees and poor people, and they cannot be compared with the real army.
In other words, the White Lotus Sect's oppression of ordinary refugees has not reached the limit. Otherwise, with this level of guarding, some people would have escaped long ago.
Now, these dozen men want to be the first to escape.
The dozen or so of them looked at each other, and after thinking of the torture they had endured in the past few days, they all made up their minds.
After a stick of incense.
Hiding at the edge of the woods, Wang Jing and others, who were looking for targets and preparing to arrest a few people for questioning, suddenly heard a noise.
Wang Jing immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a dozen men running desperately towards the woods.
Not far behind them, the White Lotus cult members who were watching the strong men chopping trees and digging rocks were caught off guard. They didn't react until a dozen people ran more than ten feet away.
A sharp wooden whistle sounded.
The sound immediately alarmed hundreds of people nearby. The other members of the White Lotus cult looked frightened and angry, and chased after the escapees.
"Someone ran away!"
Yuhong said softly.
Li Shuo sneered and said: "These people capture people and exploit them as hard labor slaves. I will run away too! Brother Zhang is right, these people are just a bunch of idiots!"
"Without the captain taking action, just two or three hundred brothers can take down this camp!"
Wang Jing couldn't help but remind him at this time: "Brother Zhang, this is a good opportunity. The dozen or so people who escaped will attract at most dozens of soldiers to hunt down..."
"We can rush to the direction they are escaping in advance and catch them all!"
"Even if the soldiers in this camp don't speak, those who escaped must know a lot of useful information!"
Zhang Hun nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Wang Jing was right. The dozen or so people who escaped must have a lot of information. Bringing them back with complete witnesses and intelligence will gain the captain's trust.
"let's go!"
He immediately ordered.
The group of people quietly turned around and ran again towards the depths of the woods. The elite beggar army works all day long, with very little time for rest.
But they have never experienced any situation, and they regard it as nothing to fight with the enemy desperately when they are hungry.
Right now it's just a matter of spending some more energy on the road.
Wang Jing relied on the traces of inherited power deep in his body to support himself until now.
And it can continue to be supported.
Half an hour later.
Wang Jing stood quietly behind a big tree and heard the rustling sound of leaves shaking rapidly in the distance, as well as some angry shouts, the sounds approaching from far to near in his direction.
He looked gently, his eyes flashing with light.
