When they learned of their fate, the bandits began to cry wolf.

They thought that surrendering could change their lives, but who would have thought that these officers and soldiers would be so ruthless that they would behead them all.

But now they are tied up like a rice dumpling, even if they struggle, what can they do?

More than 200 bandits were all pressed to the front of the cottage, and groups of ten were beheaded.

Most of the bandits were paralyzed in fright, and the auxiliaries who carried them out were also frightened.

Those who are willing to be auxiliaries are not very willing to fight, in other words, they are more timid.

And right now, Qi Wen is forcing them to exercise their courage.

An auxiliary soldier who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old raised his waist knife, but he couldn't cut it down.

His captain kicked him in the ass hard, snatched the knife and scolded, "Get out of the way." ”

He spat out a mouthful of phlegm, then slashed the knife at the bandit's neck. But at the sound of a pop, a good adult's head rolled off, and blood gushed out like a spring.

The man's head rolled right in front of the young auxiliary, and he screamed "ah" in fright.

"What a fucking shit. Don't fucking cry, seeing how Lao Tzu didn't do it, he picked up the knife and cut off the head. ”

"General, don't let me kill, I don't dare to kill."

The young auxiliary soldier wept and mourned, and refused to take the sword and carry it out for execution.

"Waste, waste!"

The officer stomped his feet and scolded: "This is a military order, do you understand the military order?" Believe it or not, if you don't kill this bandit, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”

The young auxiliary soldier was frightened and cried: "General, that's a human life." ”

"They are all bandits, bandits who kill people like hemp. We kill them for the people! ”

"But..."

"But what, if you don't do it again, I'm really going to engage in military law."

The young auxiliaries only felt that their legs and stomachs were weak. He was familiar with military regulations and military laws, so he naturally knew that the management officer was not alarmist, and tremblingly took the waist knife that was still dripping blood from the management officer.

Cut it down, cut it down and you're done.

The young auxiliaries comforted themselves.

It's like chopping a winter melon. Just cut it down.

He took a deep breath and slashed at one of the bandits by the neck with a knife in both hands.

But when I heard a pop, the blade entered the flesh, and the head rolled off easily.

Blood spurted onto the young auxiliary's face, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with a poof.

The young auxiliary soldier could no longer suppress the feeling of churning in his stomach, and threw it up.

Killing people turned out to be such a simple thing.

But why does he feel disgusted?

Why did he have a deep sense of guilt, even if the man was a bandit who did all kinds of evil?

The captain stepped forward and patted the young auxiliary soldier on the shoulder, and said approvingly, "Good boy, bloody enough." It is inevitable that you will be a little uncomfortable for the first time, and it will be fine later. ”

Oh, my God!

The young auxiliaries shouted in their hearts.

Is this just the beginning?

He was disgusted just once, how could he bear it if it became the norm.

But the intention of the guard officer is to get him used to this feeling of killing, which is really terrifying.

Ten more bandits were brought in, and ten new auxiliaries were brought in to carry them out.

They all repeated the young auxiliary's movements, raising their steel knives high and slashing them down with great speed, followed by a large head flying and a headless corpse falling.

The rest of the bandits were full of fear and despair, and they didn't know when it would be their turn, so they simply closed their eyes and didn't look.

Facts have proved that the efficiency of the officers and troops is still very high, and in less than a stick of incense, they can behead all the more than 200 bandits, no matter how much they beg for mercy.

After that, the officers and soldiers dug pits and filled the corpses with them to prevent the outbreak of the plague.

As for the head, all of them were brought back to Wuzhushan Island to repay their merits.

Although the bandit's head is not valuable, it is better than nothing, and it can be exchanged for some silver.

After Qi Wen ordered people to take over the cottage, they confiscated the gold and silver treasures looted by the bandits, a total of 50,000 taels of silver and 1,000 taels of gold. This figure is quite impressive, and it can also make up for the attrition of the Forces nouvelles in this operation.

On the other hand, Qi Wen ordered the soldiers to search the mountain.

Many bandits took advantage of the chaos and fled into the mountains, and Qi Wen's order was to capture and kill them all. Eliminate evil, this sentence will never be wrong.

Pity those bandits thought that they would be safe if they fled to the mountains, but they never thought that the officers and soldiers were so ruthless that they would set fire to the mountains.

The instinct for survival allowed the bandits to escape from the forest, and then they were tied up and escorted by the officers and soldiers who were waiting for the rabbit to be executed.

After confirming that all the bandits had been executed, Qi Wen ordered the camp to be pulled out.

Prior to this, he had already released the slave servants and women of good families who were enslaved by bandits.

These poor people still can't believe what is happening in front of them until the moment they regain their freedom.

When Qi Wen led the army back, Ning Xiu set up a banquet on Wuzhushan Island to reward the army.

Qi Wen reported to Ning Xiu about the process of suppressing the bandits, and Ning Xiu listened quietly, saying hello from time to time.

"Haha, this time the bandits have gained a lot, and General Qi has made great contributions."

Ning Xiu didn't look down on the tens of thousands of taels of silver, what he valued was the combat experience gained by the soldiers.

He has always believed that soldiers are made out of war, not drills. Only when they see blood can these soldiers truly transform.

"Lord Ning is overstating. This is all the work of Lord Ning. ”

Qi Wen hugged his fists and said: "If it weren't for the sand table given to his subordinates by Lord Ning, how could his subordinates come up with a strange strategy to forcibly cross the Juma River from Heiniwan and attack the Bishan Village." ”

Ning Xiu pushed his hand and said, "General Qi is too modest." It's your credit, how can the official rob it? ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"Haha, don't talk about that, drink!"

These days, Ning Xiu is in a very good mood. This was due to the fact that the imperial court finally gave substantial support after appointing him as the envoy of the Guangdong Haiphong Province - a one-time allocation of thirty Canton ships and three hundred artillery pieces.

These ships were more suitable for war than the Zhifu ships, and they were perfect for dealing with the Spaniards in Manila.

As for artillery, it is needless to say. It is basically all the big general cannon and the second general cannon.

Although Ning Xiu can make cannons himself, all he makes are three-pounder cannons, six-pounder cannons and other gadgets, and big guys like the big general's cannon and the second general's cannon can't do it. The imperial court is really generous this time.

It seems that the imperial court also realized the importance of Manila and hoped that Ning Xiu would be able to knock it down.

With a common goal, it's much easier to achieve.

Ning Xiu had already recruited another 20,000 soldiers before. Now he has more than 20,000 soldiers and 50 ships in his hands.

Based on the calculation of a ship carrying 400 people, it will be able to transport all the soldiers.

What he has to do now is to let these 20,000 soldiers see blood, and suppressing bandits is naturally the best choice.

With the experience of exterminating the mountain bandits, I believe that Qi Wen can be more handy.
