The lieutenants were speechless.

The fate of the prisoner being killed is undoubtedly very miserable, but killing the prisoner is not a nightmare for all sergeants!

Since ancient times, killing prisoners has been one of the last things a sergeant would want to do.

Every sergeant has the potential to be captured, to kill prisoners, to some extent, to kill themselves. After all, the captives were actually the same kind of sergeants, but in different camps.

Killing captives is a test of human nature, and they will always bear the notoriety, and since ancient times, those who kill prisoners have no good end.

"That's nearly five thousand captives...... Ma Shaoteng hesitated for a moment.

"Do you think I'm willing?" Lei Shaoxuan said viciously.

"Do you think Lao Tzu is willing?" Lei Shaoxuan was a little excited, and said angrily: "The lone army goes deep, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a heavy siege and die without a place to be buried." Our army is about to destroy the granaries and leave here, and if we don't kill them, what will we do with them?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, Ma Shaoteng's face turned pale, and he waved his hand, "Tie them up and then do it to avoid accidents." ”

The Stinger itself is seriously insufficient, and it cannot divide troops to guard the prisoners, which dooms the Stinger troops to kill all the prisoners.

In a short time, countless terrible screams, curses, wailings, and pleading sounded outside the house...... It's like a hell's lament. Countless voices came, and Lei Shaoxuan only felt that in the dark, he was bitten by countless Gu worms, entangled by poisonous snakes, and gnawed wildly by evil ghosts......

Lei Shaoxuan desperately covered his ears and collapsed to the ground, convulsing in pain and bursting into tears.

Ma Shaoteng was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed Lei Shaoxuan, only to feel that Lei Shaoxuan's hands and feet were cold, like a dead man.

"Du Wei, Shao Xuan...... What's wrong with you?"

Lei Shaoxuan grabbed Ma Shaoteng's hand tightly and muttered: "Uncle Ma, back then, Monk Daduo said that I had killed a lot of people and sinned so much that I couldn't lift the chain, but now it's true, you say, am I going to hell?"

"As a soldier, how can you not kill? Today, killing prisoners is also a last resort. If we don't kill them, we may be in a desperate situation, either they will die or we will die. Ma Shaoteng comforted.

After a long time, Lei Shaoxuan walked out of the granary, only to see the blood on the ground, like a slaughterhouse, the bloody atmosphere filled the sky, making people drowsy, occasionally glanced at the door of the barracks, in the darkness, the corpses in the barracks were stacked on top of each other, and they were stacked together indiscriminately, which was unbearable.

Lei Shaoxuan couldn't control his body anymore, trembling all over, standing unsteadily, shaking, and was held by Ma Shaoteng, shouting: "The whole team, set off immediately, leave a team of people and horses, and completely burn down here before dark." ”

After walking out of the granary for a long time, Lei Shaoxuan slowly recovered, and suddenly, the spy in front came to report: "My lord, there is a village five miles ahead." ”

Everyone looked at Lei Shaoxuan, their hearts were pinched, they were in secrecy, everyone was not very clear about the specific task of the stinger, and they didn't count it, so they were naturally nervous.

The Pingjiang granary is about two hundred miles away from the Nalan granary, although Lei Shaoxuan has carefully planned a very hidden route, avoiding the big cities and villages, the line is close to the Henghe River, and it is sparsely populated, but no matter how hidden, there will be more or less villages.

"The first battalion was the front team, changed into South Vietnamese military uniforms, pretended to be South Vietnamese troops, and whenever they encountered a village, they quickly controlled everyone in the house and did not allow peeping. Lei Shaoxuan said.

"If you encounter a voyeur or a sporadic passerby, shoot them decisively!" Ma Shaoteng added, his face worried.

Killing the captives had a great impact on Lei Shaoxuan's heart, otherwise he would not have said anything about controlling the village, according to the principle of absolute safety, the entire village should be directly killed. The Stinger troops went deep behind enemy lines, facing a situation of being alone and isolated, and if they were not careful, they would be completely annihilated, and there was no room for error.

The team quietly rushed all the way. A whole team of 10,000 people, walking in broad daylight, there will always be people who occasionally see it, but fortunately, passers-by have nothing to do with themselves, but no one has much to do. Occasionally approached to ask, Ma Shaoteng made people suffocated.

The rapid march, everywhere it went, passed quickly, almost in a flash, but did not cause any trouble.

After a day and a night, the party hid in a hilly wood. At this time, the Pingjiang granary was already in sight, and the captains' expressions suddenly became nervous.

"My lord, the Pingjiang granary is less than ten miles away from here, and there is nothing to cover, what should I do?"

"There are 10,000 guards in the Pingjiang granary, which is one of the top ten granaries in South Vietnam, and it is heavily guarded, and our army does not have an advantage in strength. ”

"The Pingjiang granary is located on the land, this kind of granary, most of them will be set up with two or even three layers of fences, even if the adults are brave, they can break through the outer gate in one fell swoop, and the second gate can also resist for a while, enough for all the guards to gather and resist, once a confrontation is formed, the enemy army has a geographical advantage, and our army will inevitably fall into a bitter battle. ”

"Alone in depth, all battles must be quickly resolved, and a tug-of-war of entanglement means that the enemy will be surrounded by a steady stream, and our army will surely perish. ”

“......”

Lei Shaoxuan nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Are you finished?" Are you afraid?"

"Alone in the depths, it is natural to say that you are not afraid, it is naturally false. Ma Shaoteng smiled bitterly, "The killing of the prisoner will not be hidden for a long time, this matter will definitely shock the world, and even if the South Vietnamese army dies, it will bite us, and there will be no room for turn." ”

"The soldiers and civilians of South Vietnam will regard us as devils and hate us to the core, and they will never allow us to leave South Vietnam, and they will kill us at all costs. ”

"I know what you say. Lei Shaoxuan straightened his waist.

As a commander-in-chief, in the face of such a grim situation, there is no room for the slightest weakness: "The Stinger mission itself creates panic, hatred, and chaos, and war means death." So from now on, don't say a word about any scruples, fears, or the like, and single-mindedly break through the mortal situation. ”

"Yes!" the lieutenant was awe-inspiring.

"What's next?" Ma Shaoteng said.

Lei Shaoxuan spread out the map.

"The Pingjiang granary has a total of three fences and 10,000 guards, and our army is not superior in strength, and it is not feasible to storm it. Lei Shaoxuan said.

The internal defense map of the Pingjiang granary has been explored by the business name where Shen Xiaobao sent the grain. The granary is a non-military fortress, and South Vietnam is rich in products, there is no shortage of food, and food is not an important strategic material, so the defense facilities are not strong, and they still rely on the combat effectiveness of the guards.

"Twenty miles east of the Pingjiang granary, is Yangcheng County. In Yangcheng County, there is an active bandit, known as the 'Taiping Army', with about 2,000 people, and the leader is named Lu Heng, nicknamed 'Lu Mazi'. The Taiping army was also a bandit and a farmer, sometimes gathering in the mountains and forests, sometimes crisscrossing the surface of the Heng River, its whereabouts were uncertain, it was difficult to exterminate, and the local government was very troubled, and the Nanyue court strictly ordered that once its whereabouts were discovered, all localities and armies should actively cooperate and exterminate it. ”

"Let's pretend to be a Taiping army and attack Yangcheng County. Lei Shaoxuan said, "There are only 1,000 county soldiers in Yangcheng County, the city wall is not high, it can support two hours at most, and the nearest county to Yangcheng County is also fifty miles, therefore, Yangcheng County must ask Pingjiang Granary for help, this is our opportunity." ”

In the face of 2,000 bandits, the Pingjiang granary must send at least 4 or 5,000 garrison reinforcements. Ma Shaoteng said excitedly, "As long as this reinforcement is destroyed, there are four or five thousand less defenders in the Pingjiang granary, and we can storm the Pingjiang granary by two against one." ”

"Yes, even if they have the advantage of location, we are not afraid. Hmph, the South Vietnamese army has not fought for a long time, but it is just a few fish belly troops, and they can't take it two against one, and they are the first elite in Jiangdong in vain. Schröding said feverishly.

Ma Shaoteng smiled, these elites were brought out by himself, Xue Ding said so, and it was an honor to hear it.

Lei Shaoxuan was originally just a death row prisoner under his own hands, but now his status is above himself, although Ma Shaoteng is faintly unconvinced, he has no intention of making trouble, after all, Lei Shaoxuan and himself are also friends in the world, and they have a deep relationship, but they can't help but show off the elite of Jiangdong from time to time.

How could Ma Shaoteng be careful about how he could hide it from Lei Shaoxuan, hearing this, Lei Shaoxuan smiled dumbly.

"Storming the fortress, even if the fish belly troops have to kill how many people do the guards have to die to capture it?

"Could it be that Lord Lieutenant has any other clever plan?" Xue Mingdao.

"Divide a detachment of troops, pretend to be the grain pressing troops of the Nalan granary, and when reinforcements come, they will participate in the attack on us. ”

Lei Shaoxuan looked at the crowd: "When attacking, you used the excuse that this army was small in number, so you could only cooperate with the attack and follow them. We ambush the reinforcements, will let some of the reinforcements escape, you run away together, blend into it into the Pingjiang granary, after entering the granary, immediately seize the three gates, as long as you can hold for a moment, the army will pour in, and the big thing can be decided. ”

When everyone heard this, they fell silent for a while.

"It's a brilliant plan. Ma Shaoteng smiled bitterly, "It's too risky, the timing is extremely demanding, a careless move, once it is revealed, the death of that team is second, but the army is completely exposed." ”

"So, every link, there can be no mistakes. Say, what are your concerns?" said Lei Shaoxuan. The plan can only succeed if everyone participates and knows it in their hearts.

"How do you convince reinforcements?"

"This matter is simple, we have seized the seals, military uniforms, and weapons of the Nalan granary, and there is no problem in pretending to be the South Vietnamese army. Ma Shaoteng said, "It's just that the number of people in this team can't be too large, they are also granary guard troops, and the team leader is too high, so it is inevitable that some people will know them." ”

"When the reinforcements escape, will they not let us in?"

"Take the road and flee, only care about your own life, who has the leisure to care so much? As a friendly army, if you don't let us get in, don't give us a way to live, then we can die together. Ma Tao laughed.

"Yes, you have to mix in with confidence, and you can't be too cautious and retreat. ”

“......”

At night, the wilderness is dark, and Yangcheng County is lit up with sporadic lights, like fireflies in the starry sky.

In the Yangcheng County Ya, the lights are bright, and the county commander Xu Wentao is holding a banquet to entertain local celebrities and squires.

Seeing that the summer rice is about to mature, the annual summer grain collection will begin. Xu Wentao took office as a new official, and the summer grain collection was one of the most important achievements of the local government.

The collection of summer grain mainly depends on the cooperation of large squires, for this reason, Xu Wentao set up a special banquet to entertain local celebrities and squires, and also showed the people-friendly style of the new county order.

The guests and hosts got along very well, seeing that they were drunk and full, and the city suddenly sounded a panicked noise.

"The Taiping army is coming, the bandits are coming!"

"Lu Mazi is here......"

“......”

Crying, shouting, shouting, gongs, all in chaos.

After a while, a servant ran in in a panic, panting and said, "Report, my lord, it's no good, Lu Mazi led the Taiping bandits to attack the north gate of Yangcheng." ”
