Chapter Seventy-One: A Thousand Knives
syllable
"Waste"
General Zhang threw the booklet in his hand to the ground and scolded loudly.
The booklet records the losses from the night attack last night.
"There are more than 300 casualties, and the general of the dignified army is also seriously injured, how did you fight?"
General Zhang's chest was stuffy, and all the officers in the tent hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear that they would touch their brows.
Zhang Tian couldn't wait to bury his head in his chest, the only one who dared to look directly at General Zhang in the tent was Cui Yunlong, who was lying on a stretcher, his head was wrapped in bandages like a pig's head, and even if his right face was wrapped in a thick bandage, he could find a bulging bag, and only one right eye was still exposed.
At this time, Cui Yunlong's eyes were full of hatred, but he couldn't speak, General Zhang looked at him like this, and sighed secretly, but there was also a feeling of happiness in his heart, looking at Cui Yunlong's appearance, he would not be able to recover in a short time, that is to say, he would be able to fully command this army within a period of time, and if Cui Yunlong could not go to the battlefield, his nephew would have more opportunities to make meritorious contributions, although he admired Cui Yunlong in his heart, but in the face of family interests, he would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.
Thinking like this, General Zhang didn't want to be held responsible, so he turned back to the intelligence officer on the side and asked, "What's the matter, has the situation on the other side been clarified?" ”
The intelligence officer, who had just gone through all the information, pulled out a piece of paper from the middle and said, "Found it."
"According to the information of our receipts, this piece of fief belongs to a small nobleman named Liu Tianyu in the Tianqi city-state, there are three towns and one fortress in the fief, the population of the whole fief is about 300,000, and there are nearly 10,000 private troops, but only nearly half of them are standing armies, and the rest are militias that lack training, and their strength is in the lower section of the fighting division."
General Zhang frowned.
"In the lower section of the fighting division, there are only three towns in the fiefdom?"
The intelligence officer hurriedly nodded: "The data says that their branch was only canonized as a nobleman forty years ago"
Well, General Zhang nodded, although there are many nobles on the mainland, many big families have been inherited for hundreds of years, and although this Liu Tianyu is strong, the family has only been established for forty years, and the three towns are not bad.
"Is it Liu Tianyu who is stationed here?" General Zhang asked.
The intelligence officer shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, according to the intelligence, Liu Tianyu was warned as early as a few months ago when the war began, and he should be in the north with his family's private army at this moment."
General Zhang nodded with satisfaction, if Liu Tianyu is not here, then it means that there is no opponent here, if the war is really urgent, he can play in person, the intelligence officer breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for the fact that this operation had been prepared for a long time, and a lot of details and internal responses had already been arranged in the Tianqi City-State, the intelligence could not be so detailed, and no one would pay attention to such a small lord before the war.
"Let's all go down, bury the pot and cook, seize the time to boost morale, prepare the siege equipment, and the whole army will attack in two hours"
At this time, in Qingfeng Town on the other side, the atmosphere was also solemn to the extreme, although there was Cui Yunlong's variable last night, but the defenders of Qingfeng Town still had the advantage, and it was like this that the battle of Shunfeng still killed more than eighty people, half of whom were killed.
Seeing the laborers carrying the corpses down one by one, Liu Lei's face was gloomy to the extreme, this was just a tentative attack of the Storm City-State, if it was really a general attack at such a loss rate, I am afraid that it would not even be able to survive a few rounds.
"Young Master, I caught a live one"
Li Tianlong threw a soldier from the Storm City State wrapped like a rice dumpling at Liu Lei's feet.
"Tell me, how many troops do you have in total this time, and who is the general leading the team? How many masters are there? Liu Lei asked.
Hum!
The soldiers of the Stormwind City State snorted coldly and turned their faces to the side.
"What the fuck do you want to die?" Li Tianlong kicked his face angrily.
"Bah, you just wait to die, just like this people want to stop the army of our Storm City-State, you will die a miserable death, Lao Tzu and the beasts of the grassland have fought and will be afraid of you" The captive spat in front of Liu Lei's feet and said loudly.
The soldier was captured by a crossbow shot in the leg, and Li Tianlong stepped on his wound and slammed it hard.
"Ah...... Yes...... You...... Kill me...... Kill me, my comrades will avenge me...... Ahh
Liu Lei didn't expect that this captive was quite bloody, and just when he wanted to meet the captive's request for death, Liu Bushan on the side suddenly said: "Young Master, leave it to me, I'll ask if I've worked in the army and the Warcraft Forest before."
Liu Lei didn't expect Liu Bushan to take the initiative to ask, and immediately nodded in surprise.
Liu Bushan walked to the captive and squatted down, pinched the captive's face and said: "The kid is quite backbone, I have met people like you in the past, but he later told me what I wanted to know, since you said that you have done it with the beast clan, then have you heard of a thousand knives?" ”
The captive was very disdainful at first, but when he heard Liu Bushan talk about a thousand knives, his face suddenly changed, his body trembled, and he said with a frightened face: "You...... You are ......"
Before the captive's words were finished, Liu Bushan stood up and kicked him in the chin, directly unloading his chin, and did not let him continue.
"Let's take it to the house"
Liu Bushan said lightly, the two veterans hurriedly stepped forward to hold the captive and left, everyone found that this captive who was not good just now was so frightened that he peed his pants, leaving a long mark on the ground along the trouser leg, Liu Bushan signaled to Liu Lei to follow him.
Seeing that the captive was so frightened by Liu Bushan's words that he peed his pants, Liu Lei was surprised, turned to Li Tianlong and asked, "Uncle Li, do you know what a thousand knives are?" It scared people out of the way! ”
Li Tianlong shook his head and said in confusion: "No, I've never heard of a thousand knives."
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Bushan's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Young master, it seems that the expedition leader you want to recruit is a person with a story, but I don't know if the story is a tragedy or a tragedy."
"Huh? Shouldn't it be a tragedy or a comedy? Liu Lei asked puzzled.
Li Tianlong turned his head and looked at Liu Lei like a fool for a while and said, "Young Master, after the war, I'm looking for someone to show you your brain, can he be mixed up like this in comedy?" ”
"Uh...... That, okay......" Liu Lei touched his nose, listening to Li Tianlong's words of harming people without dirty words, he really felt that he had the potential to be an idiot.
The captives were dragged into the small black house, and the two veterans followed Liu Bushan's instructions and brought in all kinds of strange things, including medicine grinders, hammers, files, saw blades, and even a handful of chili peppers.
After a while, there was a scream in the kung fu room, which was normal at first, just a pain, but after a while, the scream became cautious. It turned out to be like the howl of a beast, a wave is stronger than a wave, Liu Lei listened to this voice and his face became strange, how does this sound like the sound of a female cat calling spring in the middle of the night.
The captives seemed to be greatly stimulated, and their voices were hoarse with fear, and the people who carried things nearby subconsciously stayed away from the small house, as if the devil was locked inside.
As soon as the door of the room opened, Liu Lei thought that the interrogation was over, but he didn't know that it was two veterans who helped who ran out with pale faces, squatted in the corner and vomited.
After another quarter of an hour, Liu Bushan walked out of the house, holding a handkerchief with a calm face to wipe the blood on his hands.
"Q...... Did you ask it? Liu Lei found that his voice was a little trembling.
Liu Bushan nodded lightly, as if he had just eaten a meal.
"Basically the same as we guessed, the army on the opposite side is the people of the Zhang family and the Cui family of the Storm City-State, and the leader is the lower section of the Zhang family's Zhang Shoudou Division, and according to their agreement, today is the day of the decisive battle between their main force and the reinforcements, if nothing else, there should be a result tonight, in addition, he also dealt with the relationship between the Zhang family and the Cui family is not good, Cui Yunlong led by the Cui family has been squeezed out by the Zhang family, oh yes, Cui Yunlong is the person who was injured by the head of Li, the second son of the Cui family."
Liu Lei nodded, the guesses of himself and the others were basically confirmed, and then Liu Lei asked, "What about the prisoner?" ”
Liu Bushan was stunned for a moment and said: "Oh, that, I haven't done it for a long time, I'm a little rusty, I'm a little ruthless, and I'm scared to death."
grunt
Liu Lei swallowed and spit, listening to the voice, the interrogation process was very bloody, and he knew it, but he didn't expect the captives to be scared to death.
"The ......"
"Young Master, I know what you want to ask? Now is not the time, I'll tell you later. As soon as Liu Lei spoke, he was interrupted by Liu Bushan.
Liu Lei had no choice but to nod and stop asking.
