Chapter 130: Lawful Massacre II
Escorted by the line infantry, Uncle Sean made his way to the town's only square, and along the way there were many townspeople who had been captured or feared that the regular army would come on their own initiative. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The scattered corpses that were carried away on the side of the road made the escort team extremely dull, and the expression on the soldiers' faces made Uncle Sean and his party feel a lingering haze of death, and in this oppressive atmosphere, the escorted crowd always had an uneasy premonition in their hearts.
When Sean made his way to the town square, he saw several blue-uniformed soldiers with bayonets and flintlock pistols gathered in front of every house, and it was obvious that hiding in the house could not escape the fate of being arrested......
Uncle Sean still hasn't figured out what's going on in his head, why would these king's mercenaries do something to this small town that is not wealthy?
And indiscriminately drive all the townspeople to the town square!
Uncle Sean even saw several old men who were struggling to walk being ruthlessly pulled out of the house by the soldiers and marching towards the square with bayonets.
The only people who weren't caught by these soldiers were children who hadn't learned to walk and pregnant women with big poties!
Young children and pregnant women are not many people who are treated differently by the soldiers, and letting go of such groups is not a violation of Lin Haoda's orders, after all, anyone with brains knows that pregnant women and young children cannot participate in mob operations......
They can't even take care of themselves!
Although the old man is not handy with his legs and feet, who can guarantee that there is such an experienced old soldier hidden among these old people?
Even if the old soldiers are physically inconvenient and unable to participate in the revolution and insurrection, the combat experience and knowledge they have passed down are very valuable, and the reason why the militia armed forces have basic combat ability is actually inseparable from the teaching of these old soldiers in their hometowns.
When Uncle Sean came to the town square, hundreds of townspeople had been escorted here, both men and women, young and old, and at the same time, Sean also knew why the alarm bell was so urgent and short-lived, because there were several soldiers who were dealing with the corpse of Rekdor, who had just been carried down, Sean had a very good impression of this young man, he was a person who volunteered to be in charge of the guard tower of the town, and the townspeople in the town liked this young man's enthusiasm very much, but unfortunately, at this time, Rektor had become a corpse, The two blood-red holes in his chest that had been pierced by a bayonet were proof of his death.
The town's armament looked so ridiculous in the face of the regular army that these blue-uniformed soldiers subdued the entire town without even firing......
It didn't take long for thousands of civilians to gather in the town square, making the originally empty town square slightly crowded.
The thousands of townspeople were all empty-handed, and Uncle Sean only glanced at it and realized that almost all the townspeople in this town had been arrested!
The soldiers, dressed in crisp blue uniforms, had premeditated the siege of the town before they began to arrest people.
As the sheriff of the town, Sean stood at the forefront of the townspeople, and he looked around, the townspeople of the town were pointed diagonally upwards with at least hundreds of flintlock pistols, and in the distance there were dense phalanx line infantry, cavalry units searching back and forth in the town.
The strength of this army with the golden fleur-de-lis eagle banner alone is not something that this town can resist, and the townspeople don't even have the slightest possibility of escaping!
After the townspeople gathered, in Sean's field of vision, he saw a yellow Asian man riding on a tall white horse without a trace of stray hair, wearing a gorgeous military uniform with a golden ribbon on his body, wearing a wide-brimmed high-legged general's hat, surrounded by a group of white generals and gentlemen, stopped hundreds of meters away from the crowd of townspeople, looking here and not knowing what to talk about.
Soon, a high-ranking officer came out from behind the group, rode his horse under the protection of the guards to the townspeople, and shouted: "There is a government logistics convoy that has been robbed on the outskirts of the town, and it has been verified that the mob forces who robbed the logistics convoy, that is, the rebels under the control of the Rural Committee, have fled to this town and hidden, but no one in your town has reported to the regular army the movements of the mob and the hidden elements, what does this mean?" ”
Thousands of townspeople saw a cruel arc drawn at the corner of the senior officer's mouth, and immediately shouted in grief, although the content was different, but the general meaning was basically a begging for mercy such as wrongdoing.
Bang~~~
The senior legion blew out the white smoke from the flintlock handcuff, handed it to the guards beside him to reload, looked at the townspeople who were frightened by the gunfire and quieted down again, and shouted with a sneer: "Fornicating with the mob is a capital crime, now the benevolent French Foreign Legion gives you fornicating mob bandits a chance to survive, whoever can report the lair and stronghold of the rural committee will survive, remember, you only have one chance to report!" ”
Uncle Sean was shocked, he didn't know if he should go out, he was familiar with the members of the nearby rural committee, so he naturally knew their stronghold and the location of the lair!
It's just that Uncle Sean thought of the whistleblowers who were retaliated against by the peasant rebels, and stopped his steps stiffly, this French Foreign Legion is very strong, but it is not a local after all, and it will leave sooner or later, most people do not dare to offend the rural committee like a snake, not to mention, there are many members of the peasant rebel army hidden among the townspeople!
Lin Haoda, who was standing behind on a war horse, said to Meunier with a smile: "Look at these civilians, if I don't use some extraordinary means, they are completely focused on those peasant rebels who only know how to destroy and rob, of course, I am still very merciful, I will not kill innocents indiscriminately, this kind of thing is basically the participation of men, so I just need to kill all the men in this town who do not cooperate, leaving only women and children who can't hold weapons, is it very reasonable for you to do this?" ”
Meunier laughed and replied, "You are the commander of the Legion, you think it is enough to be right, I am just an ordinary monitor." ”
Lin Haoda smiled and snorted coldly in his heart: "The old fox, he doesn't even dare to touch this bit of killing, he despises the untouchables in the countryside in his mouth, but he insists on retaining the hypocrisy of defending human rights, and he is worthy of being an 'old revolutionary liar' dressed in the cloak of freedom and equality." ”
"Since those townspeople refuse to cooperate, let's go as planned, except for those who are willing to report the rebel stronghold, kill them all, oh yes, the women have to stay, we are a kind and reasonable regular army, hehe."
Lin Haoda calmly ordered.
