When Luo Cheng rushed to the foot of the mountain with a large group of people, the scout team had already entered the gathering hall of the copycat bandits.

Although several masters in the hall resisted, they were all half drunk, which was the opponent of the scout veterans.

"Kill seven, and the rest will be discouraged and beg to surrender."

The empty field in front of the Juyi Hall in the village was originally drying grain, but at this time it was full of people.

The remaining twenty-nine of the thirty-six heroes all knelt here, and more than 100 men, women, and children in the village, although they had just hid in their thatched huts, were all driven out to kneel there.

The leader of the scout team is Scarface Zhao Gui, and his Scarface is very eye-catching when he stands on the field.

"Among these people, the leader of the thieves is a deserter, and he has two kung fu in his hands, but he was cut down by me after being half drunk, and the rest was solved in three or two strokes, and the rest fell to their knees and begged to surrender."

Luo Cheng's eyes swept over the men and women who were kneeling on the ground, old and young, to be honest, these people were actually no different from the villagers in Luo Cheng's Nanshan Village, they were all dressed in tatters, their clothes were patched, and their faces were dish.

"Why keep it, cut it all, and take the head back to repay the merit." A veteran said.

The head of the scout team, Lao Liu, who was toothless, said with a smile, "Our captain doesn't like to kill people indiscriminately, so let's listen to the captain." ”

The army attaches great importance to the first-level merit, and there are many rewards for decapitation, and it is precisely because of the importance of the first-level merit that the army likes to behead. Compared with the capture and the charge and jumping, the decapitation is an individual merit, and there are also many beheadings, and the collective also has merit.

However, Luo Cheng really doesn't like to kill people indiscriminately.

It's good to give birth to a life, and since you have laid down your weapon, there is no need to kill again. Even if you keep it as a slave, it's more useful than a dead man.

"Killing prisoners is ominous."

Luo Cheng can only use this reason to convince everyone.

As for his heart, he felt that human life was still more important, even if they fell into the grass and occupied the mountains as kings, if it was in the time of the battle, he would not relax, but since the battle was over, it was another matter.

What's more, human life is not only precious, but also an important resource.

Slavery flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and a large number of them came from warring prisoners of war.

"It's too cheap not to kill them, you can't just let them go, right?"

"Cut off one of their left flowers as a certificate of merit for capture." Lao Zhang, who has one ear, proposed that he only has one ear himself, so when he was fighting later, he liked to cut off other people's ears.

It is said that once, he followed Zhang Xutuo to quell the chaos in the southwest, and after the war to clean up the battlefield, he came back with a bag of ears, which were hundreds.

"Shixin, you go and cut."

Lao Zhang called Luo Shixin over, because he saw the qualifications of the sergeant, Lao Zhang accepted Shixin as his disciple before, and taught him iron gun combat skills.

Shixin came to the front of the people, looked at Lao Zhang, and then looked at Luo Cheng.

"Look at what you see, go and cut. In the army, you pay attention to courage and fierceness, it is not good to see blood, but it is not enough to have martial arts alone, you are still the leader of the team, if you want your subordinates to obey you, you have to show performance. Thou art short and young, and many people are secretly unconvinced, and now in front of everyone, cut off one of the ears of each of the twenty-nine bandits, and let them see your boldness! ”

Originally, Luo Cheng wanted to stop Lao Zhang, but when he heard him say this, he felt that there was some truth.

Shixin people are a little more honest and young, and now they are wearing a big shield flying spear team, which is indeed a little difficult to bring. After all, the members of the Big Shield Flying Spear Team are all tall and strong people who have been selected, and the little man of Shixin is standing in front of them, which is a bit like a rat standing in front of the cat.

"Go ahead!"

Shixin saw that Luo Cheng also asked him to cut it, so he didn't hesitate.

"Oh."

He pulled out the bull's ear knife from his leg and walked over to the guys who were kneeling on the ground, "I'll be quick, it won't hurt very much." ”

Those bandits were already frightened, several old bandits were killed just now, and the rest of those who surrendered were those who joined the gang later, regardless of courage and courage.

Looking at the short sharp knife like a cow's ear, I am scared to pee.

Someone wants to escape.

Old Zhang snorted coldly, "Those who dare to resist, behead!" ”

This sentence is full of murderous energy.

Suddenly, those people were frightened and did not dare to move.

Luo Shixin walked up to a guy, grabbed one of his left ears with one hand, held a knife in his right hand, and slashed hard, and immediately the ear was cut off.

Blood gushed out, staining half of his face red.

"Don't howl, wrap yourself in a cloth, you just have one ear missing, and you can't die." Lao Zhang looked at the person who had lost one ear, but his face was terrifyingly red, and there was even a flash of excitement in his eyes, which made Luo Cheng look amazed, why should this ear be embarrassed by one ear.

Luo Shixin cut one down, and then walked to the second person. Cutting his ears, he was as easy as cutting the grass that the cow was eating, and there was no psychological burden, Luo Cheng was originally worried that Xiao Liu would resist in his heart, but he was also relieved to see this.

In a matter of moments, twenty-nine of the surrendered bandits had one of their ears cut off.

Twenty-nine bloody ears were thrown to the ground, and one guy wanted to pick them up, but Lao Zhang glared at him again.

"This ear doesn't belong to you now, it's mine now, Shixin, take a bag and put it up, and I'll find your brother-in-law to register it for a test later, and then bring it back and cook it for me to make snacks."

Luo Cheng felt a chill in his heart.

Shixin just sighed again, and really looked for the bag.

The remaining more than 100 villagers have already urinated in fright.

"How did they get out?"

Wang Ziming asked, holding a scroll in his left hand and a pen in his right hand.

"These people were also good citizens of my Great Sui, but they just abandoned their nationality and fled, and now they are black households. Register them, along with the fields that have been cultivated here. ”

For this group of poor people, Luo Cheng didn't treat them too favorably.

After all, this group of people said that they were fugitives, but in fact, they were not all of them, and they would occasionally follow the bandits down the mountain to help. People are like that, there is nothing really good or bad.

After staying in this extralegal place for a long time, you have a different set of lifestyle and moral standards.

"First put them in a prisoner camp, arrange for them to work here every day, and turn this thief village into a supply station. Those who work hard will be provided with two meals a day, and those who are not old and hard will eat whips when they are hungry! ”

As for how these people are arranged after the bandits, Luo Cheng doesn't care, and he can't control it, he has his own policies.

Now, he didn't treat these people as thieves, and he killed them all and cut off their heads, but they reported the merits, which is already very good.

Just now, there were several veterans, staring at these people's heads and gesturing.

The cottage was breached, the thieves died, and the villagers all became laborers.

As for the little property in the village, of course, there is no doubt that all of it has been confiscated.

It's just that Luo Cheng is a little unhappy that the scout team that broke through the cottage has already collected all the valuable things and hidden them privately, and they didn't find anything valuable when they searched again, that is, some grain, dried meat, etc., and then some broken thatched houses and rotten wood tables.

It seems that this loot is also a problem, and it needs to be mentioned.

"Make a fire, make a meal, and rest here today!" Luo Cheng issued the latest order, which caused bursts of cheers from the soldiers and auxiliaries.

It's still early, but who wouldn't want to get a little rest.

The bacon and dried fish in the village were directly used to cook in the pot, and Luo Cheng also asked people to kill a group of pigs raised in the village and a few pigs, which was the first victory, so naturally we should reward everyone.
