Chapter 55: Torture and Killing in the Mountains and Forests
A teenager with mediocre training and assessment results led a group of soldiers, and a group of strong soldiers led by a military general after winning!
When the group of soldiers came back with a big banner and a high spirit, the eyebrows were raised, the righteous spirit was vigorous, and the blood-stained Zhang Tong and the defeated soldiers who bowed their heads formed a beautiful scenery, and the barracks were blown up in an instant!
The old bear's mouth was wide open enough to stuff an egg in.
Lu laughed loudly, and his rough face became much more amiable due to the ecstatic look, "Haha! Attaboy! Win more with less, defeat the strong with the weak, if this is in the northwest, it is the Hu people who are killed, you kid and your soldiers are enough to become famous in one battle! ”
Even if it wasn't the Hu people who were killed, tonight's battle was enough to make Twilight Qing famous in the new army!
In just one night, her name will spread throughout the army tomorrow morning!
"General, we've brought back the flag!" The recruit carrying the flag stepped forward and handed the flag in his hand to Lu Da, and his eyes couldn't hide the excitement.
"Good!" Lu Da took it, and after only saying one word, the recruits stood up straight with a proud look on their faces.
Lu Da glanced at Zhang Tong and his defeated soldiers, "The number of troops is doubled, and they are also known as strong soldiers during drills, and if you lose like this, Lao Tzu will be ashamed of you!" Tomorrow the whole army will rest for a day, except for you! Add five stones to the load, and give Lao Tzu to practice in front of the whole army! Let your fucking love coax, Lao Tzu let you coax enough! ”
Booing? It's being coaxed, right?
Drill in front of the whole army, and lose your face back to your grandmother's house!
A group of defeated soldiers wilted their heads, Zhang Tong was silent on the way back from the lake, and he didn't raise his head at the moment, his pride was crushed, and he was blown away by the wind all the way, and it seemed that he could never pick it up.
"Look at your cowardice!" Lu scolded and said, "If you want to be on duty tonight, you will show this kind of spiritual leader to Lao Tzu?" Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and soldiers can be killed, but they can't be beaten! Damn, if those Hu people were like you, they would wilt after one fight, and the border would have been too peaceful a long time ago! cheered up, counted the number of people, and gave Lao Tzu a night watch! ”
Zhang Tong raised his head, the bonfire was blazing, reflecting him and the soldiers behind him, and the bright light in the eyes of a group of people was jumping.
"Yes!" A group of defeated soldiers seemed to be awakened, and Zhang Tong led people to line up in the open space.
The approaching recruits couldn't sit still for a long time, stretched their necks to look this way, and only hoped that Zhang would report to Lu Da with the same number of people, and Lu Da would leave quickly with a group of generals. He was gone, and everyone had a chance to come and ask about the details of the battle tonight.
After a while, Zhang Tong ran over, the blood on his face was not wiped off, his eyes were gloomy, and the fire was shining, which was a little scary.
I only heard him say: "Report to the general!" The number of people is wrong, one less! ”
With one person missing, the joyous atmosphere sank in an instant.
"Damn, why didn't you order everyone before you came back?" Lu Da's heavy gaze fell on Zhang Tong, and the soldiers behind him all lowered their heads.
At that time, I was stunned, and I didn't ease my senses all the way, just thinking about my face, how can I remember counting the number of people?
"Go and find it! Come back and settle accounts with you! Lu Da glared at Zhang Tongtong. This matter is Zhang Tong's responsibility, as a general, he didn't count the number of people before he came back, obviously he lost a heavy blow, and forgot his responsibility as a general.
Zhang Tong lowered his head and led people to the lake again without saying a word.
Twilight said, "General, let's go find it too." ”
Everyone is Lao Xiong's soldiers, and they practice together on weekdays, even if they are not close, they don't have much grudge, but they started a coax tonight and were pulled to practice. Now that the people haven't come back, they should help find it.
Lu Da looked appreciative and nodded in agreement, but then his face sank again.
If the soldier who didn't come back fell behind and got lost, it would be fine, but if he didn't dare to come back because he lost, he was afraid that he would lose face when he came back, so he stayed behind and rubbed his head, and the punishment was enough, and he was most afraid of being a deserter.
The intensity of this exercise is very high, and the recruits have many complaints, but the Northwest Army has a great reputation, the general has guarded the border for ten years, and the name of the hero is admired all over the world, and the new army is looking forward to seeing the general with their own eyes one day and being his soldiers, so although they have complained these days, there have been no deserters. If someone starts tonight on this, there is no guarantee that there will be no one in the future.
The new army has been practicing these days, and it is time for the drill. The terrain of this Qingzhou Mountain is good, and the military tent is discussing the whole army drill in the past few days, rehearsing out the boundary of Qingzhou, and suppressing bandits along the way when entering the northwest, so that the new army's knife is stained with blood, and it is not a problem to participate in some small battles at the border, and it will not be a problem to slowly polish it for two years, and it must be an elite army!
The details of the drill have not yet been decided, and tonight he asked a hundred recruits on a whim to come to an ambush and break through the drill, and he will be scolded by the stubborn old man Gu when he goes back, but fortunately, this kid gave him a long face on Tuesday and beat him beautifully! Tonight's incident will spread throughout the whole army tomorrow, and the morale will definitely be greatly boosted, and it will have a lot of benefits for the next all-army exercises, so with this, the old man Gu will also shut up. He also thought about taking advantage of this to ask this kid to show his face in front of Old Man Gu, and focus on cultivation in the future, how did he know that such a thing would happen?
If it was anything else, if it was really a deserter, then Old Man Gu would hit him with a military stick, and he would be to blame for affecting the morale of the whole army.
Lu Da frowned and looked at the direction where Zhang Tong and Du Qing and the others left, thinking that they had better find someone!
The man was found.
The man was not a deserter, but the situation was worse than that.
People died.
The man died in the forest under the slope of the sheep intestine path, and the person who found it was Zhang Tong's soldier. The soldier was very smart, and tonight before following Zhang Tong on this sheep intestine path, Zhang Tong once showed them the broken grass, and this person remembered it. When he found the sheep intestine path, he accidentally found that the grass on the slope of the road was lying down, and when Zhang Tong showed them that the grass was still fine, he went down the slope.
He was the only one when he went down, and everyone was on the slope, some went to the depths of the sheep intestine path, and some went to the other two roads, and they were scattered looking for people, and suddenly heard a scream in the forest, and when everyone followed the sound and rushed over, they saw the recruit running out like crazy, and when he went uphill, his feet were soft, and he pounced on the slope with a pop, and everyone stood on the slope and looked at him, and saw him raise his head, and the moonlight shone on his eyes, and the fear in his eyes made everyone feel furry behind their backs.
Everyone then went into the forest together, and before they could find anyone, they smelled that the smell of the mountain wind was a little strange, and there was a smell of iron. The uneasiness in everyone's hearts became stronger and stronger, but with the help of their companionship, they were more courageous, so they searched forward together. It is precisely because of the courage of the people that when they found people in the forest, after the fear, many people turned around and threw up on the trees.
When Twilight came, he saw a wide open space, the moonlight sprinkled in from above, a naked person hanging from a branch, his throat was cut, the thick hemp rope of his fingers was strangled in the flesh of his throat, and the blood went down the neck to dye Bai Huahua's body blood-colored, and the neck went down, and the person was disemboweled, and the chest and abdominal cavity were wide open, and the blood, internal organs, and intestines flowed all over the ground.
When Zhang Tong saw it, his eyes were red, and he rushed forward with a roar, but his wrist was grabbed!
"Do what?" Twilight glanced at him, her gaze cold.
"Let him down! He's my soldier, I can't let him hang like that! Zhang Tong shook off Twilight's hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and if she dared to stop him, he would kill her.
His strength was greater than that of Twilight, who was thrown away by him, and when he saw him striding forward, he stopped pulling him, but said, "Remember how you lost?" Nothing to do! ”
Zhang Tong turned back angrily!
"If the murderer is at large, please remember that it was you who acted rashly."
"......" Zhang Tong twisted his body to look back at Twilight, his neck was almost twisted, his eyes were full of anger, but fortunately he still had reason, "If he doesn't move, he can know the murderer?" Say it as if you can find out. ”
Twilight looked at him, her eyes looking a little relieved, "It's good that your only neuron wasn't burned to death by your anger." ”
Zhang Tong had a mouthful of blood in his chest, and he couldn't understand it, but he just knew that it was not a good word.
"Stand back!" This was not only said to Zhang Tong, but also to the people outside the forest.
"Three things! First, you go to the camp, report the matter to General Lu, and ask him to come quickly. Twilight said to the same chapter.
"Why me?" Zhang Tong didn't seem to plan to listen to her.
"Because after you are a military general, you have the highest martial arts here. The murderer's methods are brutal, and I can't estimate the value of the murderer's force yet, but if he can beat the crowd and send them back to report the news, you may die a few more soldiers on the way. After Twilight finished speaking, she ignored him, turned around and walked out of the crowd, found a twig, and came back to brush the ground with a stroke!
"The second thing, from this moment on, no one is allowed to step into this circle to destroy the scene, you two are responsible for this matter, watch closely!" Twilight looked at Shi Dahai and Liu Heizi.
"The third thing, from this moment on, everyone must stay here and not leave, otherwise, they will be considered suspects!" Twilight swept towards everyone, and everyone looked frightened and stepped back.
It's no joke to kill your comrades, if you are wrongfully the murderer, you will be killed!
"You mean, there are murderers among us?" Zhang Tong asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't say it, but no one was suspicious until the matter was clarified." Twilight glanced at everyone, "Don't be afraid, if you weren't the murderer, I wouldn't have wronged you." ”
Twilight Qing's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell on Han Qichu, and said: "Brother Han has a good memory, you will follow me wherever I go in a while, you can remember what I said, go back and write a copy for the record." ”
Han Qichu raised his eyebrows, wanting to ask her how he knew that he had a good memory, but finally held back, the current situation was not the opportunity to ask about it. And compared to this, she seems to want to......
Han Qichu's eyes were dark, and Twilight had already turned around, and he didn't look at anyone before turning around, but said, "Do something!" ”
She didn't even look at the body hanging from the tree, and when the words fell, she went straight out of the forest and went up the slope.
Han Qichu hurriedly followed.
Twilight stopped at the bottom of the slope and saw the moonlight falling on the hillside, and the grass on the slope fell in three places, each with different shapes.
There was a mess that everyone had stepped on when they were going down the hill just now.
One place of grass was flat and wide, and it was crushed by the new soldier when he went uphill.
Twilight went to the third place, and when she looked through the moonlight, she saw that the grass had fallen from the top of the hillside, and after two slips, the earth had been turned over, and some of the grass roots were exposed. Twilight looked down at her feet, and the grass at the foot of the slope was covered with star-like droplets of blood, and the grass was dense and dark, and it was not easy to find if you didn't look closely.
She said: "Trail marks, people are attacked above, and when they are dragged down, they are already dead. ”
Twilight looked up at the slope, bypassing the grass marks and up the hill.
Han Qichu looked at her below, and when he saw her going up the hillside, he searched carefully near the grass marks where the person was dragged down, and finally squatted in one place. He went up the hill and went to her, and saw her looking at a blade of grass by the roadside, and the moonlight shone on the blade of grass, and there were some drops of water on it, silver and bright like dewdrops.
She stared at the dew for a while, then picked up a branch from the side, brushed away the blades of grass, and poked at the dirt underneath, which was a little wet, and a sticky yellow mud on top of the branch when she picked it up.
"Well, ammonia stinks." She said.
"What?" Han Qichu was slightly stunned.
"Urine." She looked up and held the branch out to him, meaning he could sniff it to make sure.
Han Qichu leaned back, kicked back, and jumped away from the branch after standing still, feeling that he couldn't look directly, he could only look at Du Qing's face, the expression was quite wonderful!
"You ......," he was speechless.
Twilight threw away the branch and slapped her hands twice, but she was still crouching on the ground, "He's not lost, he's not a deserter, he's just a little out of the queue on the way, and the murderer attacked him when he saw that he was alone." ”
After speaking, she squatted and searched for the depths of the path, only finding a few steps, and made a single move! Han Qichu didn't dare to go over for a while, for fear that she would take out something to send to him, but he heard her say: "People die here." ”
Han Qichu's eyes changed, he walked over quickly, and when he saw the blood on the ground, his face sank. The blood was sprinkled on the blades of grass and dirt on the roadside, and the night was black.
Twilight looked up ahead, "There was a person in the small solution and here, and the murderer wiped his neck from behind and put the person down. The person fell here, and the blood flowed in a pool, indicating that the person was here for a while, and the murderer also stayed here for a while. ”
Twilight pointed to a pair of footprints next to the bloodstains, "I didn't immediately drag people away after the killing, but stayed here for a while, the only inference I can give is that the team in front of me hadn't gone far at that time, and the murderer was afraid that the movement would be too loud and the people in front of me would hear it." ”
Han Qichu was shocked, the team in front of him dared to kill the murderer before he went far? Is he so bold?
"Yes, bold." Without Han Qichu's question, Twilight knew what he was thinking, "Bold, brutal, psychopathic, preliminary portrait of the murderer." ”
Twilight got up and looked away, looking at the drag marks, the small relief, and the place where the people had been put down, and a route appeared in her mind, and she followed it to look at the forest across the path.
The sound of the wind, frogs, and insects in the forest is a song, but it makes the forest seem more secluded.
Twilight walked across the trail to the other side of the trail, looking down at the hillside and breathing a sigh of relief.
Han Qichu saw that her shoulders seemed to be loose, and he didn't know what was going on, so he walked over and saw that the grass on the slope was also lying down, obviously, someone had come up from here!
"The posture of the grass falling backwards indicates that someone has come up from below, and the murderer has come out of this forest." Twilight turned her head to look at Han Qichu, and suddenly a shallow smile appeared on her lips, "I'm so happy." ”
Han Qichu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant.
Listen to her: "This shows that the murderer is not our person." ”――
