Everyone knew what the sound was, and what it meant to have such a sound in this deserted place. Zhang Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Kai, but did not blame him. Instead, Xiao Kai said awkwardly: "I
Let Guancheng handle it, I guess..."
Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and ordered: "You and Shen Lindong will stay with half of the people and wounded soldiers to clean up the battlefield. I will take the others back to greet the brigade. Xiao Kai, you are the leader and Shen Lindong is the assistant. If you are killed by the bandits,
Back to the carbine, I asked you for it."
"Here." Xiao Kai said.
The whole sky gradually turned red, and the morning light in the northern part of the country was no less than the glow of the sun. Above the fiery red wasteland, several eagles were hovering in the sky. Everyone was fascinated by this beautiful scenery, and they watched the morning light rising from a distance.
After a long time, following Zhang Xiaowu's order, everyone continued their inspection.
Chen Boqing couldn't help but said: "General Zhang, why do you treat those women so cruelly? Since ancient times, a man has never bullied the weak. What the Dead Soldiers did here will only damage your reputation."
Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said: "I've done everything, so what's wrong? I'm a man who dares to do what he wants, but my soldiers are not good people. Although they listen to me, they don't abide by military regulations, which sometimes gives me a headache."
Chen Boqing asked curiously: "Why did the general say this?"
Zu Gongmao on the side told him the origin of the Dead Soldiers Camp. Chen Boqing then realized that although the Dead Soldiers Camp was famous, its composition was so complicated. He wondered whether the master was right or wrong in sending them to escort the young lady.
Finally, the righteous Chen Daxia said: "General, hand them over to the sergeant."
What a waste, but they are also poor women who were kidnapped. Didn't they just come out of the tiger's den and fall into the mouth of the wolf? Even if they were once the women of the bandits, the bandits were destroyed and they were freed. You should let them go back.
.I think in the future there will be people in the wilderness who will enshrine you and be proud of you."
Zhang Xiaowu looked at him with a half-smile but said: "Master Chen is too naive. It can be seen that you have great loyalty in the world and uphold the heart of hoeing the strong and supporting the weak. You are indeed a well-known hero. I also hope that Master Chen can understand me and my sergeants."
After all the killing, the cruelty in their hearts surged. If their cruelty was not consumed, they might one day burst out.
Come and cause a camp roar. Although I have never seen a camp roar, I heard my old commander say that in the 21st year of Taiqian, a camp roar broke out in the 18th Regiment of the Forbidden Army, and the entire regiment was killing each other overnight.
The next day, the military servants brought out four thousand corpses, which shows that the camp roar was serious. Besides, it would be a pity to leave these women useless and kill them, so it is most suitable to use them to dispel the hostility of the sergeants."
Chen Boqing was so refuted by his fallacy that he didn't know how to refute it. After being sulky for a long time, he said: "We are all poor people, so why bother to make things difficult for each other."
"Just get used to it, hero, but you don't have to force yourself. After all, you are not a soldier." Zhang Xiaowu shook his head, his neck made a squeaking sound, and he felt a little sore. He sat on the horse and straightened his body, riding Wen
Wen felt his emotions and sneezed.
Zhang Xiaowu patted "Wenwen" on the horse's neck, stroked its mane to calm its mood, and then continued, "If Master Chen can stay in the army for a while, he will know how miserable the army is. They also
Need a woman, too
We need to vent and be happy. The prostitutes in Mucheng are too expensive. It would be great if the price could be lowered. If Daxia Chen is willing, he can help us negotiate and lower the price. Their consumption is too expensive, too damn
It’s too expensive.”
Zhao Suo and Wang Yijin couldn't help but burst into laughter. What nonsense is this adult talking about?
Chen Boqing was even dumbfounded and said to himself, "I didn't talk to you about whether the price of prostitutes should be reduced." The two of them took it seriously and stopped talking.
After a while, the sun slowly rose, and the whole earth gradually began to heat up. It was inconvenient for everyone to wear armor, so Zhang Xiaowu ordered everyone to throw their armor on the ground and continue riding.
The armor and leather armor were thrown to the ground with a clang, and the soldiers moved forward lightly dressed. Chen Boqing was dumbfounded. After all, a piece of armor was probably worth dozens of taels of silver. It was really a waste to throw it away like this. But after he saw Zhang Xiaowu's order,
The sergeant executed it immediately, and he knew that this man was decisive and had a deeper impression of the army's consistency with orders.
At the same time, everyone in the camp only slept for two hours.
After it was slightly light, Wu Song, Hu Li, and Hu Sanwan gathered together early. Hu Li even stayed up all night and appeared with two huge dark circles under his eyes, causing Hu Sanwan and Wu Song to laugh strangely. Hu Li
The order was given to clean up the camp immediately. The four caravans and the Gu family didn't know why. After all, everyone hadn't even had breakfast yet.
After eating, they had to move southward along the river under the shining of the morning sun. Because they deviated from the pipeline, people in the caravan kept talking to each other. Some people knew the origin of this shallow river, and some did not.
I don’t know, but after hearing that the Roland ruins can also be reached by river, everyone suddenly realized.
"But why take the river route?"
"Have you noticed? The Han army is missing a lot of people."
"Yes, it seems so."
"Cavalry, there are no more cavalry."
"When you said it, I thought, where are the cavalry?"
Everyone was talking and confused, and several of them sneaked together, their faces extremely anxious, and they couldn't help but move towards the horses in the convoy.
The current person in charge of the Gu family is Chen Boqing's apprentice Gao Jie. He is guarding the Gu family ladies' cart and always obeys orders. The Gu family ladies already knew where Chen Boqing was going last night, and now they are really worried.
The eldest lady, Gu Qingxi, called Wu Song and said, "Mr. Wu, I see that your wounded have no horses, so why not use our carriage?"
"Thank you, Miss, for your generosity." Wu Song said gratefully, cupping his hands.
The eldest daughter of the Gu family came forward, and several carriages were immediately gathered from the motorcade and caravan to pull the wounded soldiers. Everyone was extremely grateful to the eldest daughter of the Gu family for her generous intervention.
After walking for an hour, Hu Li ordered the convoy to stop and rest. The sergeants and businessmen sat panting on the withered grass beside the river, blocking the sun and fanning themselves.
When Hu Li, Hu Sanwan, and Wu Song were discussing, someone suddenly came to report that two people in the caravan escaped privately. Hu Sanwan immediately looked at Hu Li, and Hu Li was furious and said: "Cao Li
, you fucking bring someone to pick his head back for me."
"Here."
Cao Li immediately chased after him with a knife, and Hu Sanwan said: "I'll go investigate."
Wusong warned: "Bring more people with you, or there may be a traitor."
Hu Sanwan gritted his teeth and smiled and said, "If there is a traitor, kill him."
After waiting for a stick of incense, Cao Li finally came back, half covered with blood and carrying two heads.
Several leaders of the caravan came to the commander of the Death Soldier Battalion to ask why they hadn't set off yet. They first saw Hu Sanwan sitting on the shaft of the car talking with a smile. Then they saw Cao Li with two heads and a group of common people.
The merchant gentry were immediately frightened out of their wits.
Hu Sanwan said: "Okay, don't be afraid. The Death Soldier Battalion only kills enemies, not our own people. Since you agreed to the five-man joint guarantee, you must do what you say. If anyone dares to be sentenced in the future,
Anyone in the same team will be killed without mercy."
Wu Song curiously asked Hu Sanwan what a five-person joint guarantee was. Seeing that Wu Song also didn't know something, Hu Sanwan explained triumphantly: "Five people supervise each other. If anyone finds anything unusual, report it immediately or stop it immediately.
There must be a heavy reward, otherwise five people will be executed at the same time. I call this method the five-person joint guarantee."
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Wusong patted the book and said with a smile.
The motorcade continued to move forward slowly, and soon after, someone shouted loudly: "The Colonel is back, the Colonels are back."
Everyone stopped and walked over, and saw that it was indeed Zhang Xiaowu who was returning with more than a hundred cavalry. Everyone's hearts suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that the others were lost on the front line? Fortunately, the returning sergeant said that the night attack was a complete victory.
, killed thousands of bandits, almost all of them
After annihilating the bandits, the remaining soldiers guarded the prisoners in front and cleaned up the battlefield. People cheered suddenly, and the people in the caravan finally stopped worrying. The Gu family members were all smiles. After Gu Qingxi inquired with Chen Boqing, he represented the Gu family against the death camp.
Express thanks.
Zhang Xiaowu said that there was no need to thank him, and then said: "It is least cost-effective to express gratitude verbally. It is better to give some money so that our brothers who died in the death camp can rest in peace. They died in Saibei to protect the Gu family, so the Gu family
It’s better to give some actual benefits at this time.”
After hearing this, Gu Qingxi was shocked at first, then became embarrassed, and quickly said that the Gu family would definitely not treat the soldiers badly.
Zhang Xiaowu cupped his hands and said, "Wait for the eldest lady's reply." Then he shouted to Hu Sanwan, "Thirty thousand, is there anything to eat? We have been killing all night and we are hungry."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hu Sanwan shouted, busy preparing people to eat and drink, while the people in the caravan brought out the most beautiful wine and the best food to give to the returning soldiers.
The second young lady, Gu Ruoxi, ignored the surprised and surprised expressions of others and ran to see Zhang Xiaowu. When she saw that he was covered in blood like a gourd of blood and the stench made it difficult to get close, she covered her nose and said in alarm: "Colonel Zhang, you are injured.
?Where is your injury? Is it serious? Do you need me to stitch the wound for you?"
Zhang Xiaowu was flustered for a while, thinking that if you sew me up, I would rather die, so he hurriedly refused and said, "It doesn't matter, it's all other people's blood." He turned around and saw other sergeants smiling at him maliciously, and suddenly became furious: "Everyone is doing this."
What the hell are you doing? Take off your clothes and wash them with sand to avoid attracting wolves with the smell of blood."
Hu Sanwan asked cautiously: "Sir, Shen Lindong, Xiao Kai and the others...are all...dead?"
Zhang Xiaowu went up and kicked his butt, and cursed: "My soldiers, how can they die just because I want them to stay and clean the battlefield? After eating later, we will continue on our way and try to reach the ruins of Roland in the afternoon."
Wu Song asked: "Sir, how are our casualties?"
"Eight people died and twelve were injured. I don't know if they can survive." Zhang Xiaowu took off his leather armor and clothes, threw them on the sand, and then squatted on the ground and scrubbed the blood with the sand.
"Only twenty people were killed or wounded? Thousands of enemies were killed?" Wu Song's head felt dizzy. This was probably a scene that only appeared in novels.
