Chapter 59: Arsenal Confinement

Based on what Li Yanzhao has seen and heard in his later life, his evaluation of the confinement room where he is locked up at the moment is only three words: unqualified!

First of all, this arsenal is the size of hundreds of square meters, and the confinement room should be a place where the soldiers who have received the punishment of confinement feel depressed and uncomfortable, so the space is small, which is almost necessary.

Secondly, in this arsenal, there are almost all kinds of weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, bows, crossbows, whips, etc., not to mention escaping, it is more than enough to use these things to demolish this house.

Li Yanzhao couldn't help but laugh dumbly. This Pang Sima is really a layman. The confinement room may not be clean, but there must be no clutter, let alone weapons?

Taking a step back, even if the confined soldiers do not use these weapons to demolish the house, if the confinement is unbearable for a long time, they will wipe a knife on their neck, and this matter will be spread, who can tell?

Secretly complained in his heart about the confinement room arranged by Pang Sima, Li Yanzhao made up his mind, found a slightly empty place in the dark in the arsenal, and lay down straight despite the fact that the ground was full of dust. Although the ground is a little cold. However, at this time, Li Yanzhao had no choice.

As he lay down, the dust that had accumulated on the ground flew up, causing him to cough. However, as soon as he coughed, more dust flew again. Li Yanzhao, who couldn't stop coughing, hurriedly got up in embarrassment, fanning his nose with his hand, while the other party was lying down and avoiding the flying dust.

Li Yanzhao walked to the window and sat down under the window. Occasionally, a cool breeze blew in from the window lattice, which made him, who was a little manic at the moment, gradually quiet. He thought about the things that had happened one after another in the past few days, and it didn't take long for sleepiness to strike, and he fell asleep against the wall.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he dimly heard the creaking of the door. Woke up suddenly, but saw the door of the arsenal open, he looked at it, but saw a figure in iron armor reflected in the night, entered the door, carried a night pot in one hand, put two night pots behind the door, and then went out, the door slammed shut again, and then there was a loud sound of door locking, but the door was locked tightly.

Li Yanzhao only felt that his whole body was sore, as if he had been beaten. He climbed up, but he felt a sharp pain in his hand, he leaned his right hand close to the window, and by the moonlight, he saw clearly that his right hand was already high and swollen, and the whole hand was bloody.

It is not the first time that Li Yanzhao, who has been confined for the first time, understands that the physical pain is better, the psychological emptiness is unbearable, and the suffering is his biggest enemy in this state. The last time I was locked up was only three days. Li Yanzhao, who was released three days later, already felt that his whole person was almost prostrating, and that profound sense of nothingness dominated him all the time. At the hardest time, he even slammed his head against the iron door of the confinement room many times. However, the soldiers guarding him remained unmoved.

In the end, he gave up on self-harm. How he survived those three days, he doesn't remember very clearly. I only remember that when my comrades-in-arms took me out of the confinement room, I carried myself out. I was so weak that my feet were almost dragging on the ground, and I was in tears......

However, it is even more conceivable how difficult the current six-day confinement will be.

However, Li Yanzhao will not regret making this decision. Keeping Dou Tong is undoubtedly buying the hearts of the horsemen in the army.

In all fairness, Dou Tong left the camp without permission. However, firstly, he did not carry his armor, secondly, he did not go out to do bad deeds, and thirdly, he was only desperate to cure his mother's serious illness. Therefore, whether in terms of motive, process, or result, the soldier's unauthorized departure from the camp did not bring serious consequences to others, and his quiet departure from the camp in the middle of the night did not affect the image of the army. Therefore, Li Yanzhao felt that in fact, Dou Tong's behavior was a minor circumstance in legal terms.

As for the battalion sergeants, most of them were sympathetic to Dou Tong's experience. Whether it was from the guards on duty who quietly let him go in and out of the camp, or the soldiers who were on duty at the city gate of Guangwu County that day, or the soldiers who patrolled the night, they did not embarrass him too much, which also shows everyone's attitude towards him. In this case, Pang Sima's handling method is not enough to convince the public and play a deterrent effect, but may cause the opposite effect. As a result, the sergeants and soldiers of the army resented and resisted the excessively strict military law.

Perhaps this resentment and resistance will not be visible in the short term, but in the future there may be another event or events that will become the trigger, and the resentment and resistance of these soldiers will intensify into anger and explode. If there is such a day, it will be a real difficult end. After all, there are 1,500 soldiers in the battalion, and even if you fold it in half, there are seven or eight hundred. If there is a roar at the instigation of someone with a heart. I'm afraid I can't even bounce if I want to.

However, it is obvious that Pang Sima, who is selfless and impartial in enforcing the law, cannot understand Li Yanzhao's mood at this time, as well as the deep meaning of his punishment decision. Pang Sima only knows how to enforce the law by relying on those boring military laws and regulations, but he does not know how to understand human nature at all. In Li Yanzhao's mind, this Pang Sima is more suitable to be in charge of finances, rather than in charge of military discipline as he is now. Although military discipline must be strictly enforced. However, understanding human nature and being relaxed is the best policy that Li Yanzhao thinks.

After thinking about these things for a long time, Li Yanzhao also felt sleepy, so he lay down under the window and fell asleep.

For three days in a row, Li Yanzhao spent time in this gloomy arsenal. Soldiers from their own battalion would come regularly to deliver food and clean up the night pots. At the entrance of the arsenal, it was apparently that Pang Sima had added a sentry post. Whenever his own cavalry came to deliver food, the ironclad guards at the gate of the arsenal did not allow those who came to stay too long. But for other things, they were happy to turn a blind eye.

In the past three days, Li Yanzhao has not had a hard time as he imagined before. Pang Sima locked him in this arsenal, so that Li Yanzhao had nothing to do, and began to study the piles of weapons and armor that could be seen everywhere around him. The shape, feel, striking point, and usage of various weapons. Different specifications of bows, crossbows, arrowheads, each with different application ranges. After studying them for a while, he picked up these weapons and wielded them freely in the small arsenal space for a while.

Therefore, after three days, whether it is a light and convenient sword and spear, or a powerful axe and hammer. Li Yanzhao has already figured everything out. Even bows of various specifications, arm crossbows, and crossbows, Li Yanzhao also had a new understanding of them, and summarized the new application methods of these various weapons in his heart. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Yanzhao is in this small arsenal, and he has a new and practical understanding of all the mainstream weapons and armaments of this era.

Li Yanzhao wielded a heavy mountain-opening axe on the weapon rack. When I felt physically and mentally exhausted, I put those weapons back in place, and then found a corner to sit and think.

At this moment, he had a strange mood in his heart, thinking that his adventure was really like walking shit luck. Even the confinement that he couldn't avoid in his previous life can be said to be extremely close. Instead of the prostration of the last confinement, and even the powerlessness of wanting to go crazy, he gave himself an adventure and a lot of valuable experience.

"Hahahaha, Lao Pang! You're really, so well confined in this confinement! Excellent! Li Yanzhao was outside the arsenal, and shouted and sighed by the way. But when others heard it, they didn't know whether he was applauding or talking back and ridiculing.

There were two ironclad guards guarding Li Yanzhao standing at the door, and when they heard Li Yanzhao's inexplicable shouting in the arsenal, they couldn't help but glance at each other, but they both shook their heads and sighed.

"Alas, this punishment of confinement seems to be really cruel." An ironclad soldier spoke.

"Not really." Another sharp pawn opened his mouth to share the gossip he had heard with his companions: "I heard that the Dou Tong who was released this afternoon had no eyes, and he was dragged out by the two teams of their cavalry together. When he came out, he kept repeating the words, 'Kill me, kill me......"

Another sharp pawn made up for the scene that his companion said, and looked back at the arsenal door beside him, although he couldn't see the Li Bairen chief inside, but through Fang Cai's unwillingness, being in prison, the dragon swimming in the shallows, and the tiger falling into Pingyang's situation, they seemed to have made up the picture of the Li Bairen chief inside who was unwilling but helpless, almost crazy......

At noon on the fourth day of Li Yanzhao's confinement, Dou Tong carried the food that was going to be sent to Li Yanzhao in the arsenal, and after the two sharp soldiers opened the door with great concern, Dou Tong walked in with apprehension.

He was locked up for three days before, which can be regarded as a complete obedience, and Li Yanzhao's previous warning to him that these three days will become the most memorable three days in your life was ignored by him disapprovingly at first. Now, however, he believes it completely.

The taste of three days of confinement, he never wanted to experience it again after exhausting his life. However, when he learned that Captain Li Bairen had a big battle with Pang Sima's sharp soldiers because of this thin punishment for him, and was thrown into the dark arsenal in the camp to be locked up for six days, Dou Tong couldn't sit still.

In order to save his life, the captain of the hundred people turned against Pang Sima, so he was so implicated. He only said that he was also locked up in confinement, and the hundred people who had to be locked up for six days must be a hundred times more uncomfortable than him at this moment. Who knows that Li Bairen grew up in the arsenal every day with swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, and had a lot of fun.

Dou Tong, whose conscience was tormented, asked for his own order to come to deliver food, and the moment the door of the arsenal opened, Dou Tong was stunned, and his eyes were involuntarily full of tears.

He saw only that they were a hundred years old, and at this time they were lying on their backs on the ground, their hair already disheveled, regardless of the dirt and dust on the ground. He looked at the beams of the room with a blank face, and when he saw him open the door and come in, he didn't look at him. Still staring at himself with two eyes as big as copper bells, staring at the beams of the room quietly.

Dou Tong was already holding the food box, and when he knelt on the ground, he cried: "Dou Tong is guilty!" Hundreds of people have suffered for a long time, and Dou Tong is ashamed! Ashamed! Please punish the 100 chiefs! ”

When Dou Tong was silent, Li Yanzhao just quietly looked at Fang Liang and was distracted. And when Li Yanzhao heard Dou Tong's cries, he immediately regained his vigor, and suddenly bounced up from the ground, his eyes suddenly became extremely vicious, and he glared at Dou Tong fiercely.

Seeing this, Dou Tong was even more sad. cried and said to Li Yanzhao: "Subordinate sinners, subordinate sinners......"

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Li Yanzhao stand up, take a few steps towards him, walk in front of him, and then take the food box and put it aside, and the head fell like a rain of punches and kicks at him......
