Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Sick Prisoner Escapes

Zhang Xiaowu has always felt that there is something wrong with the Sixth Regiment, and he does not have the murderous and energetic spirit of the Twenty-seventh Regiment, but now he finally understands that the root of the disease is Cheng Chu. As the so-called soldier bears a bear, there will be a nest of bears, and there is a general like Cheng Chu, and it is strange that the sixth regiment can fight. Gu Yong left them in the rear not to protect them, but to protect himself, otherwise with the frustration of the Sixth Regiment, a "comrade-in-arms of World War II Italy", what kind of battle would he fight, just raise the white flag and surrender, so as not to be angry to death by his own people.

Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and asked: "Old Hu, since Mucheng is the rear camp of the Qinglong Legion, then the supply of grain and grass should be transported from Mucheng to the front line, but why do I rarely see the army of the Sixth Regiment escorting grain and grass?" These days, I have only seen three groups of troops, and they are only escorting some light things, not food and grass at all. ”

Hu Sanwan touched the rat's whiskers and smiled: "They are transporting spices and sea salt, as well as some medicines, and the front line does not need us to transport food, because the plain between Jincheng and Yashan occupied by the Qinglong Army is a famous Yajin granary, and the grain has not been eaten." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was very interested and asked: "I have always heard people say that the Yajin granary, what is the Yajin granary?" ”

"Yajin granary is 10,000 acres of fertile fertile land between Yashan and Jincheng, it is the only piece of land suitable for planting grain in the Saibei Wasteland, Jialan River turns half a corner around Yajin granary, after more than ten years of water conservancy dam construction, this 10,000 acres of fertile land is fully irrigated, the land is fertile, and the grain produced here in one year is enough to feed a million army." Hu Sanwan said with emotion, "The crown prince's 200,000 Qinglong army really doesn't need grain and grass from the rear, but they lack salt, spices and medicines. ”

Zhang Xiaowu touched his chin and thought for a moment before he said: "No wonder the Qinglong Army is not in a hurry to launch a general attack on the alien coalition army, they are delaying the opponent, the alien coalition army is hundreds of thousands of people, as long as the Qinglong Army consumes them, it is enough to consume the coalition army to death!" I used to think that the crown prince was a straw bale, but now it seems that it may not be. ”

"I don't know if he is a straw bag, but Gu Junshi is not a straw bag, the only one in Shenghan who is a double champion of civil and military affairs." Hu 30,000 Dao.

The next day, a group of front-line scout cavalry escorted a group of Tartar captives back from the front, and after passing through the village, more than 100 of them were left behind. The captain who led the army saw the inside and outside of the epidemic village, and praised it: "I have passed by this epidemic village many times, why is it so neat and tidy inside and outside now?" ”

Xiao Kai hurriedly introduced Zhang Xiaowu, and the captain immediately slapped his thigh when he heard this, and shouted: "Divine Shooting Zhang Xiaowu, it turns out that you are the Divine Shooting Zhang Xiaowu of the 27th Regiment, and three arrows shot back a million dogs?" ”

"It's a prize, it's a prize, it's all luck." Zhang Xiaowu said modestly, but he thought in his heart that the alien army that night was at most twenty or thirty thousand people, if it was really a million dogs, I was afraid that I couldn't see the edge of my eyes.

The lieutenant Lang said with a smile: "In Xia Jiaozhan, the word is flat, I have heard of your name for a long time, why are you guarding the epidemic village here now, it is really a waste of talent." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Captain Jiao praises falsely, the military assistant takes obedience to military orders as his duty, and the official arranges it, and we will implement it." ”

Jiao Zhan shook his head and said regretfully: "When I return to the Third Regiment, I will definitely report to the general, and strive to transfer you to our department, so as to make the best use of everything and make the best use of people." Watching a bunch of sick and dead ghosts all day long is a real waste of your archery skills. A good man has a thousand miles of ambition, and your future is on the battlefield, not a lifetime here. ”

This Jiao Zhan has a bold personality, although he is enthusiastic and cherishes talents, but he doesn't think much about it. Zhang Xiaowu liked this person's character very much, and talked with him more, and then found that the two were actually fellow villagers, both from Yongzhou, and Jiao Zhan shouted: "Yongzhou is so heroic, it is true." I don't have time to talk much today, when you come to my third group, I will have a drink with you. ”

After handing over the wounded prisoners, Jiao Zhan immediately took people away, and before leaving, he also told Zhang Xiaowu that if he got the order, he must inform himself as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiaowu thanked Bumin and said that Brother Jiao had praised it falsely, and his ability should be insufficient. However, Jiao Zhan's attitude made his heart very warm, and many people in the army still complained about what happened to the 27th Regiment. Maybe one day in the future, someone will correct the name of the 27th Regiment, and when he thinks of this, Zhang Xiaowu feels a lot more comfortable.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion in the backyard.

Hu Sanwan rolled and climbed and shouted: "Shi Chang, Shi Chang, the wounded prisoners rioted, they killed a soldier and jumped over the wall and fled!" ”

"Thief Ann Dare!" Zhang Xiaowu drew his knife and rushed into the courtyard, only to see that several wounded prisoners were still climbing over the wall, the defending soldiers were suppressing other wounded prisoners, and those who were climbing over the wall with weapons were the new prisoners who had just been sent today. The new captives must be difficult to manage, they still have rebellion in their hearts, but the epidemic village is a place where rebellion is not allowed.

Zhang Xiaowu shouted, snatched the Pu knife of the soldiers around him and killed him.

Several prisoners of war were resisting, but they didn't expect Zhang Xiaowu's knife skills to be as fast as lightning, and the white light flashed, like a popular slash, and then a prisoner of war was slashed from the left shoulder and the right waist, and split it into two pieces alive. Before the other prisoners of war could react, Zhang Xiaowu cut horizontally with a knife, cutting the two prisoners of war carrying wooden sticks into four pieces up and down, and the knife cut too fast, and the three prisoners of war who were cut into two sections did not die for a while and a half, and their internal organs flowed to the ground, lying on the ground and screaming.

After killing three people, Zhang Xiaowu shouted again: "Everyone is lying on the ground, standing and killing!" The prisoners of war were so frightened that they hurriedly lay on the ground in terror.

At this time, Hu Sanwan and Zhao Suo and others reacted, Zhao Suo rushed forward with red eyes, rushed up with a knife and slashed, killing seven or eight prisoners of war who were still standing in an instant, Xiao Kai also took the opportunity to climb to a high place to shoot arrows, and several wounded prisoners who wanted to move were also shot to death by him.

After more than a dozen people died, the wounded prisoners were honest.

Zhang Xiaowu glanced at the corpses on the ground and the other prisoners of war lying on the ground, and said angrily: "Hu Sanwan, lock up all the living ones, and each of them will be beaten with twenty boards first, and kill their anger!" Zhao Suo, if you are injured and not dead, you send them on the road. ”

"Whoa." Hu Sanwan and Zhao Suo immediately obeyed the order.

Zhang Xiaowu beckoned to Xiao Kai at a high place, Xiao Kai jumped down and stepped forward to salute, Zhang Xiaowu ordered: "Hu Sanwan, you are responsible for this place!" Xiao Kai, you are ready to follow me over the wall to chase and kill the escaped prisoners! They didn't run far, thousands of miles of plains, and I wanted to see where they could hide. ”

"Whoa!" Xiao Kai received the order.

A captive raised his head, as if he wanted to remember the appearance of the enemy, Zhang Xiaowu's attention was very concentrated, his eyes swept over everyone, and suddenly he felt a murderous aura. He saw someone looking up with an unkind look, and immediately pointed to the person's position and said, "Xiao Kai, shoot him." ”

The man bowed his head in fright.

Xiao Kai pulled the bow and arrow and didn't know who to shoot, Zhang Xiaowu rushed over with a knife, pressed the person who looked up to the ground, raised the knife in his hand, and chopped off the person's head.

The new POWs finally understood that at this moment they would surely die at the slightest movement.
