Chapter 335: Arriving at the destination
As far as the eye can see, the camp is brightly lit at night. Several places have extinguished fires and are smoking. The camp was littered with black thieves with arrows, and some were piled up at the camp gate. Less than a hundred people are still alive and unwilling to hide around the camp. A second company in a row surrounded the camp. Ye Jia and Qi Er on both sides of the mountain also commanded. The entire camp was surrounded in the middle.
"It's all burned out,......," Ye Wenhao said in a low voice. He bought all the tents and other things in the camp according to the list. Suddenly, they turned into flames, which distressed him. "You can buy things when you lose and make money when you lose, but if you lose your life. Yi Shuihan looked at the thief struggling below, a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Cleaning up the battlefield naturally did not need Wang Teng to worry about them, an hour later, excluding the dead, most of the stunned thieves woke up, roughly calculated, there were more than a hundred people, close to capturing nearly a hundred living people, this battle, just the camp, destroyed more than two hundred enemies, more than two hundred prisoners. Most of these 400 cavalry units were killed on the battlefield, and some were even shot and nailed to the side of the land. By the time the SS collected the bodies, most of the blood had seeped into the soil, and the ground was black.
"Report!" the company commander was an 18-year-old young man who saluted with a straight face. Wang Teng raised his hand and said, "Be louder." "Tell God that he eliminated 542 enemies, seriously wounded 112, captured 280 and escaped more than 100. The company commander stomped his boots continuously. "Oh, then, there are more than a thousand people. Wang Teng said with his eyebrows twisted.
When Ye Wenhao heard this, he stood up and said to the company commander: "Okay, boy, I will give you a big contribution in the future." "The company commander has the same surname as Ye Wenhao, and his name is Mu Lin. Although the name has a lot of connotation, the company commander is a very fierce person. He is a first-class man, hard working and straightforward in temper. A company commander smiled and replied, "It's over." ”
"What about SS casualties?" asked Wang Teng. "Tell God, the SS went to war, no one was killed, but ......" Yemulin was stunned for a moment. "But what?~!" Wang Teng raised his head and asked calmly. "More than 30 people were seriously injured and nearly 100 were slightly injured. Ye Mulin said with a little hesitation.
"Judging from the casualties, haven't we suffered a lot? Have the wounded already been arranged?" Yi Shuihan asked when he saw that Wang Teng didn't say anything. A company commander nodded, "Go, go and see." Wang Teng stood up, Ye Wenhao and Yi Shuihan also stood up, Ya'er looked at Wang Teng's expression, and couldn't even guess what his mood was, so he followed, and the group walked out of the temporary tent to arrange a camp for the disabled.
Gently lift the tent door, and the bunks are crowded with people. Several party members, who were also medics, attacked two officers of the instructor corps. "How's it going?" Wang Teng asked softly. The doctor turned around and lowered his sleeve. He breathed a sigh of relief and said profusely, "Thanks to the Lord's healing scroll, the seriously injured have been treated. Their lives are not in danger, and after an hour of rest, they will be alive again. ”
"Hmm" Wang Teng nodded, looked at each other one by one, motioned for the wounded to rest, and then walked out with the crowd. There are a couple of makeshift tents next to them. The wounded thief lay inside. Wang Teng opened the tent and walked in. There were more wounded lying here, most of them dying, a few struggling, and a few SS men standing guard in their tents.
"What about these people?" Ye Wenhao asked. Wang Teng replied with a cold face: "Send them all to the village and bring the prisoners who can move." Let's retreat ten miles and set up camp there. A company commander~!" "Go~!" The company commander should come out loud. "Send a message to the headmaster of the village. Tomorrow at noon, 20 miles south of the village, the captives will be traded. Wang Teng said coldly. "Yes, but, Lord, how much will this deal be based on?" a company commander asked, pausing to ask.
Tianlu has always had an unwritten rule on the mainland. All the belligerents could have exchanged prisoners after the war, or exchanged people for people, or exchanged people for money, to capture so many people. Naturally, Wang Teng couldn't let them go, and he couldn't support them. Trading is a good option.
"Five gold coins~!" Wang Teng said lightly, turned around and left, Ye Wenhao and Yi Shuihan glanced at each other, and also followed.
After retreating ten miles, the team regrouped and made the most of the night. People are exhausted. With the exception of the night watchman, most of them were already asleep. A company commander threw the badly wounded thief back to the village, took the message back to the camp, and retired when he returned.
Ya'er couldn't help it, and returned to the tent to rest, only Wang Teng, Ye Wenhao, and Yi Shuihan were still in the tent, Ye Wenhao had already fallen to the side and snoring, Wang Teng and Yi Shuihan muttered something in a low voice. "Big brother, what are you thinking?" Yi Shuihan asked as he stared at Wang Teng, who was suddenly distracted. Wang Teng smiled and went back: "I was thinking, if I don't put down that gold coin, maybe it won't happen tonight." ”
"Hehe, big brother, you're thinking too much. This is the case in the Red Clay Plain. Ravading and robbing are normal things. We were ready before we came here. Robbers are rampant here. In fact, I have something to say tonight when you're dealing with prisoners. Yi Shuihan squinted his eyes and said. "Oh, what is it?" asked Wang Teng. "Those who were seriously injured should not be sent back. They should have been killed on the spot, and their heads should have hung on the mountain. Only then will they be able to scare the red clay plains and avoid trouble. Yi Shuihan said in a flat tone, it seems that what he said is a trivial matter.
Wang Teng nodded, with an approving expression on his face. "I thought about that too. Even before entering the injured tent, my first thought was the same. However, after seeing those people, I changed my mind. Whether we kill them or not, they won't survive. Why don't you show kindness and give them to the villagers? You know, people talk fast. ”
"Oh?" Han smiled and frowned slightly. After a while, he patted his thigh and said, "I think, big brother, you're really tall." "Haha, with the help of some dying man's article, it's nothing." Wang Teng smiled knowingly: Of course he knows the role of leading by example, but the bandits in the Red Clay Plain are like wool, killing captives is not a bright thing, and if you don't do it well, it will backfire, angering those thieves who don't care about themselves, and the Red Clay Plain does not lack real thieves and powerhouses, such as seven of the top ten thieves, each of whom has the strength to easily eliminate themselves in the Red Clay Plain.
In this case, why don't you let go and give these seriously injured people back to them, even if they are cured, most of them are crippled and useless. In addition, the chances of healing are not very high from the point of view of the injury. In this way, one person and others can earn a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. As for the prisoners who were not injured, it is quite natural that no one will say anything. From this point of view, in fact, a person's own party will be able to receive moral support from the robbers. Then the next 1000 miles will not be smoother.
At noon the next day, Wang Teng led the team around the village, a quarter of an hour later than scheduled. A group of people had been waiting there for a long time, with blood-red turbans wrapped around their heads, a symbol of the blood wolf thieves. The two sides did not meet, died without irony, it was like going through the procedure, getting the money, freeing the person, and going their own way. This is also a benefit for the red clay plains. If the plate is stepped on the wrong side, it will not escape from death like a robber outside.
"Big brother, I learned a lot today. Thieves have their own rules. Ye Wenhao shook his head and said happily. "Haha, do you have any rules?" Wang Teng came back with a smile. The team marched again, sure enough, Wang Teng's estimate was good, for more than ten days in a row, there were no robbers, and even some frequent robberies of the road section, Wang Teng and they all passed safely, with the crimson mud plain, the winter gradually left in this boring journey, the red soil on the ground, has grown thin grass buds, the weather is warm.
For thousands of miles, Wang Teng and his team have been living for a month. Although there were no accidents, the team did not make multiple trips per day based on safety principles. Most of the time, they are resting. When they reached the edge of the Red Clay Plain, people seemed to appear out of nowhere. Smoke was coming from everywhere. They couldn't wait to climb the five or six metre high red clay slope in front of them. Ye Wenhao raised his head and shouted excitedly, "Big brother, we have arrived, Liberty City~!"
This cry was like a signal, everyone's hearts instantly relaxed a little, Wang Teng also jumped off the horse excitedly, and stepped over in a few steps, and after a while, Ya'er and Yi Shuihan also followed, and the four of them stood on the high slope, looking at the scene in front of them, and they were stunned one by one.
"The city of freedom, the city of sin, the city of the sky, it lives up to its name." Yi Shuihan muttered softly in his mouth. Look around, hundreds of miles of hillsides beneath the neat estates. One estate after another was as if it had been planned in advance. It is distributed under high slopes. Overlooking these neat estates, the ideal city towers over the air. It is a city built in mid-air, like a floating awl, standing there silently. The black steel walls were cold in the sun, like a dormant beast.
"This is the city of freedom, how is it in the sky, how do we get up?" The crowd was still enchanted by the wonderful sight. Ye Wenhao's sudden question made them laugh instantly. In the afternoon sun, the long motorcade slowly walked up the high slope towards the famous Villefranche.
