Chapter 28 Reflection
Divided in an extreme sense, there are only two kinds of people in Bastille.
One is a hunter, and the other is a hunted slave. These slaves who have not had time to sell have become natural soldiers of the night raiders. Just unshackle them and give them a weapon. No matter men, women, old or young, they would rush towards those Bastille soldiers bravely, even more ferociously than the night raiders.
None of the Bastille soldiers who fell into their hands was whole. They had been bullied and oppressed too much, and there was more hatred buried in their hearts than the Nu River of despair.
At the end of the fight, the soldiers of the Bastille didn't know how many people there were on the other side. Some said five thousand, some said ten thousand, and some said one hundred thousand. Anyway, it was endless.
The Bastille Inner Fort, which was built on the basis of dangerous terrain and claimed to be able to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of troops with thousands of defenders, collapsed without attack in this chaotic situation.
The killing continued until the sun set. Except for a few soldiers who ran out of the Bastille immediately with a keen sense of smell, none of the remaining Bastille soldiers were alive, and all of them were dug by the newly released Andes mountain slaves. The three-foot one was dug out and hacked to death with random knives.
Walking on the devastated streets, Sean didn't feel the slightest joy.
This night attack can be called a complete victory. It not only wiped out the Bastille's remaining troops, but also completely took down the Bastille, paving the way for the next step, but Sean is still not happy .
In this night attack, he sacrificed a total of seventy-two brothers who grew up with him, and they were the ones responsible for the jumping night attack, because only they had special training in this area, and only they could cooperate like this tacit agreement.
Man is a complex of contradictions, reason and sensibility are always in constant conflict.
When arranging troops, Sean, who was rational and prevailed, made the best choice with the highest winning rate and the lowest sacrifice.
Feelings now took hold in Sean's mind, and he regretted sending them to the front line.
To put it bluntly, he would rather sacrifice some mountain people he didn't know or even be familiar with, rather than have any of them make a mistake.
They were so young, so energetic, so energetic, he always felt that they should have greater achievements and should not waste their young lives here.
That's right, in Xiao En's eyes, this is indeed a waste. Because of the destruction of the village and the excitement of the bloody battle on the mountain ridge, there are obviously problems with his recent decision-making, and he is a little eager for quick success. , and perhaps the loss can be reduced even lower.
This kind of thinking made Xiao En feel more self-blame, and if he indirectly killed them, he killed the person who trusted him the most.
Sean clearly remembered the names of every person who died in battle, everyone's voice and appearance, and even everyone's preferences, strengths and weaknesses.
With the continuous improvement of intelligence, his memory has become very superior. Although he dare not say that he will not forget anything, the period of this forgetting is obviously longer than that of ordinary people.
So far, he still clearly remembers everything that happened on the day he was born, including various details. Sometimes he starts to miss his brain that was not smart in his previous life, because at that time he can slowly forget it as time goes by, no matter what Happiness or pain.
Sean is not a pacifist, nor is he a defender of humanity, but he doesn't like this way of solving things purely by killing, he thinks this method is the lowest.
Especially the cathartic killing scene in front of me. The former perpetrator has now become the perpetrator, and the two are completely reversed. Apart from exposing the evil roots of human nature, what is the use?
What is the sublimation of humanity in killing.
That's all nonsense, as long as your hands are stained with blood, no matter innocent or evil, as long as your humanity is not lost, you will more or less be stained with various negative emotions and distort your heart.
After the hysterical catharsis, there is endless emptiness. Many Andes mountain slaves knelt down in a pool of blood and cried loudly. And know.
Sean has no desire to become a confidant brother or a psychiatrist. There are more important things waiting for him to do. The capture of the Bastille is just the beginning. Old Bolton and the Bastille Army he led are theirs. Another goal, the conflict between the two parties is irreconcilable, and now it can only be resolved with the least despised means by Xiao En.
There is no turning back when the bow is opened. So many lives have been sacrificed. How could Sean stop here? This time he needs to make more preparations to minimize casualties as much as possible and avoid more regrets produce.
Counting the losses, sealing up the Bastille's grain depot and armory, preparing for reorganization and reorganization...
Multi-tasking, Sean has long been very proficient, the right brain is thinking about what is there, and the left brain is circling the next arrangement at a high speed. Fortunately, there are teenagers trained by himself, let's call it the Boys Army Well, trivial tasks such as counting losses, helping the wounded, and collecting supplies don't require him to do it himself, so they are arranged in an orderly manner.
During the night raid, they exposed a lot of problems. As an improvised army, their ability to cooperate was really poor.
Especially the violent mountain folk army led by Skull Crusher McGee, they didn't have the consciousness of cooperating at all. Anyway, they rushed up in a swarm, and then fought alone, which was not at the same level as the order and prohibition of the city gate garrison.
If it hadn't been for the morale of the city gate garrison being demoralized by the barrage of the Andis Longbow team led by Xiao En, it would have been very difficult for the rampant mountain folk army to fight against each other even if their individual soldiers were far superior in quality. It's a good idea, and there are twenty or thirty guards like the Bastille Legion led by Old Bolton.
Even the youth army with the best awareness of cooperative operations has problems. Their cooperative operations are limited to their own companions, the Andis Longbow Squad led by Sean, and the Berserker Mountain Army led by Skull Crusher McGee. Completely out of touch.
They don't need to be so eager to confront the city gate garrison at all. They only need to wait a few minutes before the Andis Longbow team led by Sean will come up. will be greatly reduced.
Of course, this can also be understood as the Andis Longbow team's actions were too slow and failed to keep up with the actions of the Boys' Army.
Finding out a problem doesn't mean it can be solved. Cooperative combat is not something that can be improved by lip service, but years of consistent running-in. As long as you practice a few more times, the problem will naturally be solved.
However, it is obviously unrealistic in front of us. Not to mention that Old Bolton will not give them so much time. There are also many problems within their alliance. The only ones who can be completely controlled by him are the Boys, those Andis Mountains who have been recruited from various aspects. The people can only be regarded as half.
They only follow them for revenge, as long as they can help them achieve this goal, they don't mind whether they follow Sean or Ryan.
Although McKee the Skull Crusher is very supportive of Sean because of his personal kindness, it is also based on the premise that both parties have a common goal. , His brothers also did not agree.
In fact, after Xiao En temporarily changed the plan, some people had already complained about his leader, but they were suppressed by McGee the Skull Crusher with his own authority. Now there is a brilliant victory that can be won. They temporarily agree with him, but it doesn't mean that he is qualified to jump over the Skull Crusher McGee and dictate to them.
Not to mention Clayton the Scavenger, he had completely offended that old guy with his previous play, and the weak friendship between the two parties had been completely exhausted.
I don't know what's wrong in my stomach now, I'm looking for good things now, I don't have time to pay attention to Sean, and when I look back, if he doesn't trip Sean, he won't be Clayton the Scavenger.
Tang, I finally found you. Something went wrong. A young soldier ran over in a hurry, his face and clothes were covered with spots of blood, even after the fierce battle, he had no chance to rest, his eyes were bloodshot, However, he was full of energy, and the pride and excitement on his face were almost flowing down.
These young and energetic youth soldiers did not have as many distracting thoughts as Sean. The almost perfect night attack last night was completely led by them, especially the confrontation with the defense army at the Bastille Gate. It even showed the momentum of their youth army.
Even the soldiers of the Valiant Mountaineers, who think so highly of themselves, give them the thumbs-up they've craved for years.
As for those sacrificed companions, they also feel heartbroken, but they are more proud, proud of them, none of them are cowards, and the rest will continue to live with their share and create more brilliance.
What happened? Sean asked as he walked. The current mood of the Boys Army was what he was most worried about. He had never advocated behaviors such as sacrificing one's life for righteousness and not fearing life and death, but the people he brought out all held The concept of small things like life and death always wants to do something big and earth-shattering.
Don't they know that in this era of legal barbarism, if you want to do a big business, you need countless bones to lay the groundwork?
In the past, they were just in the fantasy stage, but now he personally dragged them into this fast lane, and it might not be so easy to stop.
Our people have clashed with those slaves who were just released, and they are confronting each other. Marshall is negotiating with each other, but the situation is very tense. I saw that the situation is not good, so I came here to find you. Go over and have a look!
You're the only one who is smart. Sean scolded angrily. The young soldier named Ralph implied that Marshall couldn't solve the situation over there, so he had to solve it himself, so he decided to come here without authorization. Called him, but he still involuntarily quickened his pace and rushed over there.
