Chapter 116: The Sand Bandits

Everyone knows what kind of sound this is, and they know what it means to have such a voice in this deserted place, Zhang Xiaowu was stunned at first, and then looked at Xiao Kai, but he didn't blame. On the contrary, Xiao Kai said embarrassedly: "I let Guan Cheng deal with it, I guess it ......"

Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and ordered: "You and Shen Lindong will take half of the men and the wounded soldiers to stay behind to clean up the battlefield, and I will take the others back to meet the brigade." Xiao Kai, you are the main Shen Lindong as an auxiliary, if you are killed by the sand bandits, I will ask you. ”

"Whoa." Xiao Kaidao.

The whole sky gradually became ruddy, and the morning light in Saibei was no less than the glow of the sunset, and on the fiery red wasteland, several eagles hovered in the sky. Everyone was fascinated by the beautiful scenery and watched the morning light rise from afar.

After a long time, with Zhang Xiaowu's order, everyone continued to inspect.

Chen Boqing couldn't help but say: "General Zhang, why treat those women so cruelly, since ancient times, the eldest husband has never bullied the weak, and the actions of the dead soldier battalion are only afraid that it will damage your reputation." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said ridiculously: "Everything has been done, what's wrong?" My soldiers are not good people, although they listen to me, but they do not abide by military rules, and sometimes they give me a headache. ”

Chen Boqing said curiously: "Why did the general say this? ”

Zu Gongmao on the side told him the origin of the Dead Soldier Camp, and Chen Boqing knew that although the Dead Soldier Camp was famous, its composition was so complicated, and he wondered whether it was right or wrong for the master to send them to escort the young lady. In the end, Chen Daxia, who had justice in his heart, still said: "The general handed them over to the sergeants to spoil them, but they are all bitter women who have been taken captive, haven't they just come out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's mouth?" Even if they used to be the women of the bandits, but the bandits are destroyed and they are freed, you should let them go back. I think that in the future, someone in the wasteland will worship you and be proud of you. ”

Zhang Xiaowu looked at him with a smile and said: "Chen Daxia is too naΓ―ve, it can be seen that you are very righteous in the rivers and lakes, and you are indeed a well-known hero with your heart of hoeing the strong and helping the weak." I also hope that Chen Daxia can understand me and my subordinate sergeants, after their killing, the abusive anger in their hearts has skyrocketed, if they don't consume their tyranny, I am afraid that one day it will erupt and cause a roar in the camp. Although I have never seen the camp roar, I have heard my old commander say that in the twenty-first year of Taiqian, the 18th Regiment of the Forbidden Army had a camp roar, and the entire regiment was killing each other overnight. The next day, 4,000 corpses were brought out by miscellaneous soldiers in the army, which shows that the camp is serious. Besides, it is a pity that these women are left useless to kill, and it is most appropriate to use them to dissipate the anger of the sergeant. ”

Chen Boqing was so refuted by his crooked reasoning that he didn't know how to refute it, and he sulked for a long time before he said: "They are all hard-working people, why bother each other." ”

"It's good to get used to it, but you don't have to force yourself, after all, you are not a soldier." Zhang Xiaowu shook his head, his neck made a squeaky sound, he felt a little sore, he sat on the horse and straightened his whole body, and the mount Wenwen felt his emotions and sneezed.

Zhang Xiaowu patted "Wenwen's" horse neck, stroked his mane to soothe its emotions, and then continued, "If Chen Daxia can stay in the army for a longer time, he will know that the army is miserable." They also need women, they also need venting, and they also need to be happy, and the prostitutes in the wooden city are too expensive. It would be nice if the price could be lowered, if Chen Daxia had the heart, he could help us to intercede and reduce the price, their consumption is too expensive, too damn too expensive. ”

Zhao Suo and Wang Yijin couldn't help but laugh on the side, what nonsense is this adult talking about.

Chen Boqing couldn't cry or laugh even more, and said in his heart I didn't talk to you about whether prostitutes would drop prices or not, and the two of them really didn't talk speculatively, so they stopped talking.

After a while, the sun slowly rose, and the whole earth gradually began to heat up, and it was inconvenient for everyone to wear armor, Zhang Xiaowu ordered everyone to throw their armor on the ground and continue to ride.

The armor and leather armor were thrown to the ground, and the soldiers marched forward lightly, looking at Chen Boqing's speech, after all, a piece of armor is afraid of dozens of taels of silver, and it is indeed a waste to throw it away like this. But after he saw Zhang Xiaowu's order, the sergeant immediately carried it out, and he knew that this person was decisive, and he also had a deeper impression of the consistency of the army's orders.

At the same time, the people in the camp had only slept for two hours.

After the sky was slightly bright, Wu Song, Hu Li, and Hu Sanwan got together early, and even Hu Li didn't sleep all night, and appeared with two huge dark circles under his eyes, which caused Hu Sanwan and Wu Song to laugh strangely. Hu Li ordered the camp to be cleaned up immediately, and the four caravans and the Gu family did not know why, after all, everyone had not even eaten their morning food, so they had to advance south along the river under the light of the morning sun. Because of the deviation from the pipeline, there were people in the caravan talking to each other, some of them knew the origin of this shallow river, some did not, and when they heard that the river could also reach the ruins of Roland, everyone suddenly realized.

"But why take the river?"

"Did you find out? The Han army was missing a lot of people. ”

"yes, it seems to be."

"Cavalry, no cavalry."

"As soon as you said it, I thought, where are the cavalry?"

The crowd was puzzled, and several of them were sneakily gathered together, their faces so anxious that they couldn't help but lean towards the horses in the convoy.

The current principal of the Gu family is Gao Jie, Chen Boqing's apprentice, who guards the cart of the Gu family's ladies and listens to orders from time to time. Last night, the Gu family ladies already knew Chen Boqing's whereabouts, and they were really worried at this time.

The eldest lady Gu Qingxi beckoned Wu Song and said, "Mr. Wu, I see that your injured people have no horses, so it is better to use our carriage." ”

"Thank you, Miss, for your kindness." Wu Song bowed his hand and said gratefully.

The eldest lady of the Gu family came forward, and several carriages were immediately put together in the convoy and caravan to pull the wounded soldiers, and everyone was grateful for the righteous action of the eldest lady of the Gu family.

After walking for an hour, Hu Li ordered the convoy to stop and rest, and the sergeants and merchants sat panting on the dead grass by the river, blocking the sun and fanning the wind.

When Hu Li, Hu Sanwan, and Wu Song were discussing, someone suddenly came to report that two people in the caravan had fled without permission, Hu Sanwan immediately looked at Hu Li, Hu Li was furious, and said, "Cao Li, you fucking take someone to pick his head back for me." ”

"Whoa."

Cao Li immediately chased after him with a knife, and Hu Sanwan said, "I'll investigate." ”

Wu Song advised: "Bring more people, or there may be thieves." ”

Hu Sanwan bared his teeth and smiled: "If there is a thief, kill him." ”

After waiting for a stick of incense, Cao Li finally returned, carrying two human heads with half of his body covered in blood.

The leaders of several caravans came to the commander of the dead soldier battalion to ask why they hadn't set off yet, and first saw Hu Sanwan sitting on the chariot and talking with a smile, and then saw Cao Li with two heads, and the people and gentry were suddenly frightened.

Hu Sanwan said: "Okay, don't be afraid, the dead battalion only kills the enemy, not its own people." Since you have agreed to the five-person joint guarantee, you must do what you say, and if anyone dares to be sentenced in the future, the people in the same team will be killed. ”

Wu Song curiously asked Hu Sanwan what a five-person joint guarantee, Hu Sanwan saw that Wu Song also did not know something, so he proudly explained: "Five people supervise each other, if anyone is found to have an abnormality, immediately report or stop it, there will be a heavy reward, otherwise five people will be executed at the same time, I call this method a five-person joint guarantee." ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wu Song patted the book and laughed.

The motorcade continued to move slowly, and soon after, someone shouted loudly, "Shosa-sama is back, Kosa-sama is back." ”

Everyone stopped and walked over, and saw that it was Zhang Xiaowu who turned back with more than a hundred cavalry, and everyone's hearts suddenly chuckled, could it be that the others were lost on the front line? Fortunately, the sergeant who came back said that the night attack was a complete victory, killing thousands of sand bandits, almost all of them were wiped out, and the rest of the soldiers were guarding the prisoners in front to clean up the battlefield. People immediately cheered, the people of the caravan finally stopped worrying, the people of the Gu family were full of smiles, and after Gu Qingxi and Chen Boqing inquired, they expressed their gratitude to the dead camp on behalf of the Gu family.

Zhang Xiaowu said that he didn't need to thank him, and said: "Verbal thanks are the least affordable, it is better to send some silver, so that the dead brothers in our dead soldiers camp can settle down." They died in Saibei to protect the Gu family, so the Gu family might as well give some practical benefits at this time. ”

Gu Qingxi was stunned for a while, and then he was ashamed, and hurriedly said that the Gu family would definitely not treat the soldiers badly.

Zhang Xiaowu arched his hand and said, "Wait for the eldest lady's reply." Then he shouted to Hu Sanwan: "San0,000, do you have anything to eat?" We killed all night and were hungry. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hu Sanwan shouted, busy with people preparing to eat and drink, and the caravan people took out the most beautiful wine and the best food to give to the returning soldiers.

The second lady Gu Ruoxi ran to see Zhang Xiaowu despite the surprised and surprised expressions of others, and saw that he was like a blood gourd all over his body, and the smell of his body was difficult to approach, so she covered her nose and said worriedly: "Zhang Xiaozuo, are you injured?" Where are you hurt? Is it heavy, do you need me to stitch up your wound? ”

Zhang Xiaowu panicked for a while, and said in his heart that if you stitch it up for me, I would rather die, and hurriedly refused: "It's not in the way, it's all other people's blood." He turned around and saw the other sergeants smiling at him maliciously, and immediately became furious: "What the hell are you doing, take off your clothes and wash them with sand, so as not to attract the weeds with the smell of blood." ”

Hu Sanwan asked cautiously: "My lord, Shen Lindong and Xiao Kai are ...... All...... He's dead? ”

Zhang Xiaowu went up and kicked him in the ass, and scolded: "My soldiers, how can you say that you will die, I will leave them to stay and clean up the battlefield." After eating for a while, we will continue on our way, and strive to reach the ruins of Roland in the afternoon. ”

Wu Song asked, "My lord, what about our casualties?" ”

"Eight people died, twelve were injured, and I don't know if I can hold it." Zhang Xiaowu took off his leather armor and clothes, threw them on the sand, and then squatted on the ground to scrub the blood stains with the sand.

"Twenty dead and wounded? Kill thousands? "Wu Song's head is dizzy, this is probably a scene that only appears in the interpretation of novels.
