The next day, Zhang Qiang came to the barracks where the prisoners were being held.

The 1,200 captives of the Qing army and the Han army did not eat for a day and a night, and the wounded were not treated, and dozens died that night.

The other captives wailed, but no one gave them food.

At this moment, these people were pulled out and stood on a playground full of them.

Zhang Qiang was re-replenished, and Hu Kui's forty-five cavalry guards stood on the review stand.

"Do you want to die or live?" He shouted.

The captives shouted weakly, "My lord, of course I want to live." ”

"Is there anyone who wants to work for me?"

Two or three hundred people stood up at once.

Zhang Qiang nodded, "Is there anyone else who wants to play for me?" ”

and hesitantly stood up a hundred or so people.

Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, "Take them aside." ”

Wei Wuji had just found the original 400 young and strong soldiers, who were wrapped in gray turbans of the rebels on their heads, wearing the gray cloth clothes of the rebels, wearing bamboo armor on their bodies, holding red tassel guns in their hands, and captured broadswords, and quickly ran up, driving aside the 300 or so enemy soldiers of the Qing army and Han army banners who wanted to surrender, and took them into custody.

Zhang Qiang really wanted to unify the clothing of his troops, but he couldn't do it now, there were no manpower, blacksmiths, tailors, craftsmen, these craftsmen were in short supply, and they couldn't unify the clothing, weapons, armor and equipment of Zhang Qiang's thousands of soldiers.

Seeing the remaining hundreds of Qing army Han military flags, Zhang Qiang saw that some people still had hatred for him in their eyes, and their eyes were very unkind, so he immediately whispered a few words to Wei Wuji beside him, pointing and pointing in his hand for a while.

Wei Wuji nodded continuously, and after a while, he ran into the playground with a hundred young and strong soldiers, and grabbed more than a hundred people from it in a moment.

Zhang Qiang was very satisfied, looked at it, and said to Wei Wuji: "Let those of your subordinates who have not seen blood go up to see blood, take care of these people, and tell them that if they can't do it, then, you can solve them." ”

There are those who struggle, those who insult, those who cry and beg for mercy, those who are paralyzed by fright, those who are playful, and those who are chattering.

But these were useless, a hundred trained outcasts who had never seen blood, and the rebel soldiers who had been selected from among the people, hesitantly waved their weapons and hacked all these captives to death.

Then more than 100 soldiers came up and cleaned up the scene.

Zhang Qiang asked loudly again: "Is there anyone else who wants to die?" ”

"We will surrender." More than 600 remaining soldiers of the Qing army and Han army knelt down and shouted, some of them still begging for mercy.

Zhang Qiang waved his hand, and another hundred righteous soldiers went up and escorted them, Zhang Qiang said: "It's late, you should pay the price for your hesitation,"

Some soldiers crawled towards Zhang Qiang on their knees, "My lord, my lord, we are willing to surrender, give us a chance." ”

Zhang Qiang sneered, "Now let's make a game, you expose each other, all those who are contaminated with the blood of the people of the Ming Dynasty and do many evils will be prosecuted, if I find out that there is something untrue and dare to conceal it, I will be executed." ”

So the scene was lively.

At this time, many people who got the news also came to watch, the military camp in Wuyi County was dilapidated and lacked maintenance everywhere, and the people stood around, some of them were still standing on the roof, watching Zhang Qiang deal with the prisoners, while pointing and applauding loudly.

Soon two hundred Han soldiers were arrested, and even those Han soldiers who were willing to surrender for the first time had quite a few people, about seventy or eighty people.

Zhang Qiang said to Wei Wuji: "Parade these people through the streets, let them say out loud what they have done, and make them bow their heads and confess their crimes, and then send them to repair the city walls, dig moats, moats, where to work, where to send, as for the rest, he turned his head and asked them to repair the barracks first, and then help the people repair their houses." ”

Wei Wuji said, "My lord, is this different? ”

Zhang Qiang said: "It's different, when you are parading the streets, you relax your hands, let the people vent, and those who can live will be brought to work, I estimate that there are not many alive, and the rest will come back, and ten will be selected every day for the recruits to practice assassination, and the rest will do heavy work, tiring work, dirty work, until they are tired to death, thirsty to death, in short, they will not escape death." ”

"As for those who have committed minor crimes, if they have done well, they will be given the position of overseer, and let them supervise their companions, and if they do well, they will be rewarded, and they will be given more food, and they will be given a few dozen pennies, and if they do not do well, they will continue to work until they die of exhaustion. If there are craftsmen, or those who have changed their minds and are willing to become soldiers, they will be absorbed into your recruits based on their performance, and they will be scattered in formation. But watch them and find someone to keep an eye on them, lest any enemy spy sneak in. ”

Wei Wuji trembled, looking at Zhang Qiang in fear, it was the first time he felt that this adult he was loyal to was so ruthless, he couldn't help but feel scared from the bottom of his heart, fear, and had some sense of superiority before, after all, he came from Zhu Dadian's mansion, and felt that Zhang Qiang was from a humble background and did not have much respect, at this moment, he didn't dare to have such thoughts anymore.

In one sentence, a hundred people were killed, and another sentence made the enemy's stubborn resistance collapse, and at this moment, let these people not be able to survive and die.

Zhang Qiang is also a senior otaku, although he has not intrigued with people in society, but he has read a lot of intrigue novels, plus his previous experience, he can still see some of Wei Wuji's mental activities, patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead, as long as you follow me and be loyal to me, I will be your friend, not your enemy." ”

Then he turned his head and shouted, "Zhou Congee." ”

Zhou Congee hurriedly ran over from a distance, "The end will be." ”

"You go and screen the more than 200 soldiers who are willing to surrender again, and give you three days to choose for me one hundred and fifty people who are innocent, or who have no great evil, are strong, powerful, and intelligent, and bring them. The others let them also help clean up the streets, help Lord You with porridge, and maintain order, and you and your subordinates will do this for the next few days. ”

Zhou Congee gave up his hand, "The last general will obey the order." ”

And at this moment, Xuanyuan Longfei was patrolling the city defense with his own personal guards on the city wall.

Du Ge is helping You Haibo's scribe sort out the materials and carry the materials.

Zhang Qiang turned back and put his troops in order.

In that battle, he trained 150 pro-army, musketeers and musketeers killed 50 and wounded 20, only 30 followed him with minor injuries and finally returned, and the pro-infantry also lost 30 dead, 5 wounded, and 15 were also slightly wounded, and the total strength dropped to 50 at once.

Two-thirds of them, the wounded soldiers will not be able to fight for at least a month, they need medical treatment, and many of them may be disabled for life and will not be able to fight again, what a loss.

It's also that he has too few troops, but this time he has only upgraded his coaching skills by one level, and his dominating skills have not been upgraded, so he can't train more elite soldiers, which makes him very distressed.

The Qing army is so powerful that even the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Southern Ming Dynasty can't beat it, and if he doesn't send more elite troops as soon as possible, he can't resist the upcoming army of the Qing army.

Not to mention the Qing army, it is the remnants of Liu Liangzuo, plus the Mongolian cavalry, which is also a few thousand troops, and there is still a good chance of winning by besieging his small county town, after all, his soldiers have lost two-thirds, and the number of soldiers he can count in his hands now is 600 people.

It is still very difficult to defend a small county town with a circumference of several kilometers.
