）］．? 8> who will be adopted if they are killed?

Mo Li seemed to guess the thoughts of the generals, and was silent for a while, and said, "Of course we don't kill them all, otherwise how can we strengthen our forces?" ”

"What does the general mean?"

"Eleven Smash."

As the name suggests, one out of ten people was killed, which began with the war between the ancient Romans and the Volzis, in order to eliminate the panic and cowardice in the army and strengthen the soldiers' determination to fight.

The rougher the thing, the more effective it is, and the only way to make these captives truly become a member of the new Liao army and enhance the strength of the new Liao army is terror.

The horror of "Eleven Killing" is no less than a massacre, and the kind of psychological shock that determines life and death is enough to change a cowardly person.

The generals quickly moved and gathered all the more than 4,000 captives into an open field outside the city.

According to the count, the total number of captives was 4,669.

More than 2,000 soldiers of the New Liao Army stood in several rows with flint guns, surrounded the captives, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the captives in the middle, and each of them had a cold look on their faces, and they could not see any emotion.

The captives were frightened one by one, and they lined up in a row under the expulsion of the soldiers of the New Liao Army, but they didn't know what the New Liao Army was going to do to them, and everyone's expressions looked frightened.

Because, in this era, there is no such thing as the Geneva Conventions, and the killing of prisoners is a very common thing, although it is not very widespread, but in this troubled era of human life, it is definitely not a big deal.

Hong Chengchou, who had just succeeded his boss Yang He as the governor of the three sides, killed many captives of the surrendered peasant army, and killed with great ferocity.

The new Liao army was heavily surrounded, and powerful firearms were aimed at him in all directions, and it was impossible to escape.

Will these fierce new Liao troops in front of them kill themselves?

Mo Li rode a black horse, holding a long knife in his hand, shining in a cold cold light in the setting sun.

"Ben will know that you hate me, because I have a lot of blood on my hands, and my soldiers have a lot of blood on your robes! Not so long ago, we were fighting each other, and unfortunately you were defeated. If you fail, you must have the consciousness of the loser, and you must accept all the demands imposed on you by the winner! If we are the ones who fail today, then we are the ones standing here now!

You are standing here today because you are forced to do so, not because you meant it. Perhaps, you thought that you should have let you go and let you go home. Yes, this is undoubtedly the best place for you, because you are not soldiers in the first place!

But don't forget that from the moment you join the rebels, you lose the right to control your own destiny! ”

Mo Li's voice was as cold as his knife, cold without a trace of emotion.

"Now your lives are in my hands, and I want you to give birth, and you will be able to give birth; If I want you to die, you will never live!

However, General Ben has finally decided to give you one more chance, a chance to live! ”

This sentence made the captives instantly ignite hope from the ice, and they looked at it with their mouths wide open. People, who doesn't want to live, even if a drowning person catches a straw and serves as a lifeline, not to mention this understandable chance of immortality.

"Listen, under thirteen years old!"

"Forty-five years old and above!"

"Disabled hands and feet!"

After a while, the captives who met the above three conditions were singled out and stood at the front of the line, a total of four hundred and eighty-nine people.

Mo Li pointed a knife at them and said, "You are lucky to live!" ! Remember, if you follow the Confucian thieves to trouble the people in the future, Lao Tzu can kill you as well! ”

The more than 400 captives were pardoned, and for a moment they couldn't believe their ears. Are you really free? Did this dark horse general really let himself go?

"What? Why don't you get out of here, do you want our general to send you?! Xiao Yang pulled out his saber with a snort and said viciously.

"No, no, no! Let's get out of ...... right away," hundreds of people said in a panic, and then rushed out in a swarm, for fear that Moli would suddenly regret not letting them leave.

The new Liao army made a hole for them to escape, and no one stopped them, and the captives believed that they really would not die, so they all ran away happily and soon disappeared into the mountains.

The rest of the captives looked at the captives who ran away with envy, wishing that they were one of them, even if they were disabled! It's better than being slaughtered here by the New Liao Army.

Mo Li also asked the remaining captives to stand in a row of ten, four hundred and eighteen rows, and a total of four thousand one hundred and eighty people.

This kindled a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the remaining captives, because if the new Liao army wanted to kill themselves, why did they have to go to such great lengths to line up in a line? It seems that he probably wants to absorb us, so he got rid of the old, weak, sick and disabled. The captives stood in line as they were ordered, and they thought about luck.

Mo Li looked at the captives and said in a deep voice: "Are you thinking that General Ben is going to take you in, isn't it?" ”

"That's right! You guessed it! Mo Li still said without emotion: "But one of you out of ten must die!" Don't ask why, because you don't have the right to know! From now on, you just need to follow the orders of the general, and you don't need to know why!

If you don't follow the order, then General Ben will kill you now! If you want to survive, you have to give me your life, kill one enemy soldier in exchange for your one-year life limit, kill ten, you can live for ten years, if you can kill twenty enemy soldiers, then you will never have to worry about being killed by us! ”

One out of ten dead? Who will be killed?

The captives looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.

Mo Li raised his long knife and said coldly: "There is only one life, if you let you decide for yourself who will die, no one will be able to choose, so, for the sake of fairness, let God decide!" ”

God decides?

A pro-soldier had already walked over with a bunch of sharpened bamboo sticks.

"Now in groups of ten, the draw begins! Only one of the ten sticks is short, and whoever draws the short one will die! Mo Li said, pointing to the wooden sticks.

A small wooden stick determines a person's life and death. Whether you can survive or not depends on your luck.

"In order to prove your loyalty to General Ben, the nine people who have drawn the long lot must kill the person who drew the short lot together, only in this way can the general believe that you are really loyal to me and really cherish the last chance I gave you to live!" Mo Li said coldly.

Liang Peijun, who was riding a horse and followed behind him, was a little unbearable, and whispered quietly: "Husband, do we really want to do this?" I still think it's too cruel......"

Mo Li shook his head and said in a low voice: "Peijun, you are called the benevolence of women!" ”

"But they are innocent......"

"What about the people whom they have afflicted? Aren't they innocent? Since they are rebels, their hands will inevitably be stained with blood! This is their fate, and no one is to blame. ”

Liang Peijun was speechless.

Now Kong Youde is in turmoil, and has occupied Dengzhou and nearby prefectures and counties, and his prestige is flourishing, and it is becoming more and more intense. And Gao Qiqian clearly ordered the Mo Department to rush to Dengzhou to suppress the thieves, and used his more than 2,000 subordinates to shake Kong Youde's 100,000 army, which was undoubtedly a plan to kill people with a knife, and if he didn't listen to the order, Gao Qiqian would have an excuse to let the imperial court send troops to exterminate him.

At this time, it was obviously too late to return to Liaodong to transfer troops, and he was only a general now, and he could not transfer troops in theory.

If you want to defeat Kong Youde and survive in this predicament, you must quickly enhance your strength, recruit troops, and strive to eliminate Kong Youde as soon as possible.

But if you just drag these thousands of rabble to fight Kong Youde, not only will you not be able to succeed, but you will only be burdened by it at that time. Not to mention whether they have the courage to fight the rebels, they themselves are part of the rebels, and if they go to the battlefield and turn against each other, will they not bring disaster to their brothers?

Therefore, they must be allowed to complete their transformation in the shortest possible time and quickly form combat effectiveness, so they have to use some unconventional means, even if they are scolded as butchers because of this.

The captives knew that if they refused to draw lots, they would surely die immediately.

However, only one out of ten people will be killed, and the chance of winning the short draw is only 1 in 10, which means that I have a 90% chance of living...... Smoke, smoke, if you don't smoke, you will die immediately, and if you smoke, you may not die...... God bless, Buddha bless, don't let me draw that short lot......

"Let's get started!" Mo Li didn't have time to grind with them.

Guan Feng then shouted loudly: "Start the lottery!" ”

Immediately, the 20 teams of soldiers of the New Liao Army rushed forward under the leadership of the officer, holding wooden sticks, and moved quickly and quickly.

Among them, Li Guo led a group of New Liao Army soldiers with long knives in their hands and walked to the front of the easternmost group of prisoners, and his subordinates held a cloth bag with ten wooden sticks in their hands and stretched out their hands to the prisoner at the front.

Li Guo has always disapproved of killing these captive soldiers, strictly speaking, they can't be considered soldiers, just a group of poor worms who are unlucky enough to be carried by the rebels. Looking at the frightened expressions of the captives, Li Guo felt a tingling in his heart.

"General......" Li Guo instinctively looked back at Mo Li, hoping to see Mo Li's action of retracting his fate. It's a pity that Mo Li always looked at them with a blank face.

Li Guo sighed secretly, in fact, he also knew that it was almost impossible to change what Mo Li had decided.
