Chapter 142: Prisoners of War

Chen Ning's black legion annihilated the zombie hordes entrenched in Baita Town, and after the army repaired for two hours, Kan Jing suggested to Chen Ning not to stay in Baita Town for the night, and the legion continued to advance towards Kapok Town. Because of the fighting here, it may soon reach Kapok Town, and the rebels in Kapok Town may flee early. Kan suggested that it would be better to march directly overnight and attack Kapok Town at night, so that the rebels in Kapok Town could also be dealt with together.

In fact, Chen Ning didn't really want to conquer the rebels, in his eyes, zombies were the primary enemy of the empire.

However, when the Metropolitan Governor sent him out, he made it very clear to him that if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and the Metropolitan Governor asked Chen Ning, whether it was a zombie or a rebel, as long as he could eat it, he would all be exterminated.

No, Chen Ning can't turn a blind eye to the rebels in Kapok Town, which are only 20 kilometers away, since they must be recruited, the tactics of night attack are undoubtedly one of the best options, fighting head-on during the day, the rebels have guns and weapons, which may cause large-scale warrior losses to the black army.

Therefore, Chen Ning asked the troops to immediately pack up their equipment, set off in the starry night, and attacked Kapok Town at night.

However, when the Black Storm Legion arrived at the outskirts of Kapok Town, the scout came back to report to Chen Ning: "Sir, it seems that Kapok Town has just experienced the flames of war, and I saw two flags set up in the town, one is the flag of the Huaxia Empire, and the other seems to be the flag of a certain legion, but the banner of what legion it belongs to, the subordinates are ashamed and can't recognize it." ”

According to the regulations, scouts must master the IQ of measurement, and it is already the most basic requirement to recognize flags.

However, Chen Ning's legion has only been established for a few months, and the soldiers are all recruits, and the same is true for the scouts, they were originally Bai Ding, and in the past few months, it is normal to not be able to remember the flags and symbols of so many troops in the empire.

Chen Ning looked at Kan Jing: "It seems that someone has taken the lead." ”

Suga said: "Of the 100,000 officers and soldiers commanded by the Grand Governor, most of them built defensive lines around Suzaku Castle, and a few were sent in to fight guerrilla warfare. In addition, it is said that the four generalissimos of the imperial capital also symbolically sent several groups of troops to kill the enemy and suppress the thieves, so there are other troops who take Kapok Town one step ahead of us, which is surprising. It's just that I don't know which army took Kapok Town?"

Chen Ning instructed the Bull Demon King: "Raise the imperial flag and our Black Storm Legion flag, and send someone to shout to the people in Kapok Town to see if the defenders in the town are friends or enemies?"

Although the banner of the empire was erected in Kapok Town, Chen Ning still instructed the soldiers to approach carefully, in case the rebels used the banner of the empire to play tricks.

But soon a team of Imperial soldiers came out of the town, and the captain was an officer with a mustache, and Chen Ning noticed that this guy's epaulettes were three stars, which meant that he was a captain.

Kan Jing saw the banner fluttering on the ruins of the town, and whispered to Chen Ning: "It's the July Flowing Fire Legion, the commander should be Mu Ye, the son of the Mu family, this legion is the Imperial Capital Noble Legion, the scale should be relatively large, about 5,000 people." Why doesn't it look like there are 5,000 people stationed in this town?"

What Chen Ning and Kan Jing naturally didn't know was that two hours ago, Makino had already led the July Flowing Fire Legion in the direction of Black Rock City and continued to advance. In this Kapok Town, there were only more than a thousand traitors who had been captured, and this group of two hundred stray fire warriors. This group of stray fire warriors was ordered to stay, and was ordered to deal with the thousand captives, and then follow in the footsteps of the large army.

Makino was a noble son, and he knew that killing prisoners was an easy thing to criticize, so he ordered the two hundred warriors to wait for him and the main army to leave for three hours, and then kill all the prisoners.

In this way, if someone impeaches Makino for killing prisoners in the future, Makino can also calmly say that he is guarding the prisoner's subordinates and acting recklessly.

The person in charge of this team of 200 executioners is named Chen Anbang, with the rank of captain.

He saw that the time was about the same, and he was asking his men to drive more than a thousand rebels to the town square, and was about to shoot and slaughter, but he didn't expect that at this moment, a sentry hurriedly came to report that an imperial army had come from outside the town.

Chen Anbang frowned slightly when he heard this, so he asked his subordinates to guard the rebels in the small square, and he took a dozen personal soldiers to come out in person to meet the legion commander outside.

When Chen Anbang saw Chen Ning, he noticed that the epaulettes on Chen Ning's shoulders were majors, one level higher than him, and according to the rules, when a junior in the army meets a superior, it is something to go through. However, this Chen Anbang did not salute Chen Ning, the reason is very simple, the prime minister's doorman is a seven-grade official, Muye was born in the Mu family, and the spokesperson of the Mu family is Mu Shuai.

Makino is considered to be the son of a nobleman in the army, and Chen Anbang and his subordinates have also been stained with a lot of light.

On weekdays, the officers of the July Flowing Fire Legion, as long as the other party is not a general, no matter what rank the other party has, the officers of the July Flowing Fire are all one level higher, so in Chen Anbang's eyes, Chen Ning, the major of the miscellaneous Legion, is a younger brother, how can he salute?

Instead of saluting, Chen Anbang lazily glanced at Chen Ning's military flag, pouted and said, "Which miscellaneous army are you from, why have I never seen this banner?"

Kan Jing was afraid that Chen Ning would be angry and had a conflict with the July Flowing Fire Legion, so he hurriedly took the lead in speaking: "We are the Black Storm Legion, and the commander is this Major Chen Ning, who is also the martial champion appointed by the Metropolitan Governor, who is the person in charge here, and what tasks are you performing here?"

Chen Anbang looked at Chen Ning and said suddenly: "I thought it was a miscellaneous legion, it turns out that you are Chen Ning, the so-called martial champion, a tall man among the short ones, not bad!"

The Bull Demon King was furious when he heard this: "You fucking look for ...... death"

Chen Ning raised his hand to stop the Bull Demon King, squinted his eyes at Chen Anbang, and said calmly: "Major Suga was asking you just now, do you want to answer, and when you see me and her two commanders, should you give a military salute?"

Because the July Flowing Fire is a noble legion, and Makino is the son of the herd marshal's family, the July Flowing Fire Legion is very domineering on weekdays, and the colonels and lieutenant colonels of the local legion have to bow their waists and flatter when they see the captains of the July Flowing Fire Legion, accompanied by a smiling face.

But what Chen Anbang didn't expect was that Chen Ning, a small major who led a group of "rabble", actually wanted to force himself to salute, he couldn't believe it, and at the same time was a little annoyed, after all, in front of more than a dozen of his subordinates, Chen Ning used a higher military rank to oppress him, and he was very faceless.

Chen Anbang glared at Chen Ning angrily and threatened: "You want me to salute, my commander is Muye, and our commander's uncle is Marshal Mutian, are you sure you want me to salute you, I'm afraid that you will regret your actions, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to finish eating and walking?"

Chen Ning held his hands behind his back, his feet were evenly parted, and he was standing at shoulder level, standing in an extraordinarily standard military posture, wearing an officer's uniform, he looked particularly imposing at the moment, he raised his eyebrows: "Salute!"

Chen Anbang's face was red, but he had no choice but to salute Chen Ning and Kan Jing, and said in a voice full of grievances: "Hello two chiefs." ”

Chen Ning sneered and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"We captured this rebel-occupied Kapok town a few hours ago, and Commander Makino led a large force and marched towards Black Rock City overnight. Our team, stay behind to house the rebel captives. ”

Chen Ning heard that Muye had taken this place and was heading towards Black Rock City, he nodded, feeling that there was no need for Black Storm to stay here, and said to Chen Anbang that you are at your own convenience, and then instructed Kan Jing: "Let's go too, there are no rebels here." ”

The reason why Chen Anbang was disrespectful to Chen Ning, out of the July Flowing Fire, this legion is a noble legion, in addition to being arrogant, there is also a very important reason that the soldiers of the July Flowing Fire know that their commander Makino disdains the so-called martial champion of Vermilion Bird City, and has always said on the way that when he meets Chen Ning, he wants to give Chen Ning a little color.

Chen Anbang subconsciously regarded Chen Ning as an enemy, so when they met, he would be disrespectful to Chen Ning like that.

But he didn't expect Chen Ning to casually use the distinction between superior and subordinate to embarrass him, making him very angry.

At this time, he returned to the town with a dozen of his own soldiers and ordered all his subordinates: "Damn, when the time is up, load them up, and shoot and kill all these traitors." ”

More than a thousand rebels in the square, old and young, and many women, all shivered slightly in the night wind, hugging each other, at first they could not understand that the Imperial army had gathered them here at night, but now they knew that they were going to shoot them all, and in an instant a terrible cry resounded in the night sky......

Chen Anbang looked at these desperate and crying crowds with a cruel smile, feeling the grievances just now, and getting some venting.

His eyes quickly noticed that among these rebels, there were actually a few good-looking women, his eyes lit up, and then he commanded a few of his own soldiers: "Drag that, that, and those women aside and don't kill them, and prepare to shoot them all." ”

A few slightly beautiful women were dragged out by Chen Anbang's men with a lewd smile.

Chen Anbang instructed his subordinates: "Load the bullet and prepare to shoot!"

Just when Chen Anbang was about to give the order to shoot, suddenly an angry shout came from behind him: "Stop!"

Chen Anbang and the others turned their heads in unison, and then in the shocked eyes of everyone, a team of imperial soldiers appeared in front of them, and the officer led by them was Chen Ning, who had an ugly face.
