Chapter 49: Interrogation of the Captives

Ninety-three bandits were exterminated in this battle, and another 18 bandits were taken prisoner, while the Forbidden Army and the Praetorian Guard suffered minor injuries to nine people, none of whom were killed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThrough this battle, the strength of the Qiuling Mountain bandits was seriously weakened, after all, their number was not large. After this battle, the bandits would never dare to go down the mountain again to provoke.

The soldiers were busy cleaning up the battlefield, while General Huang Lang and Captain Zheng stood at the intersection, their eyes extending along the path towards Luoyun Peak. The road is narrow and steep, with steep cliffs on both sides, almost a line of sky. This place is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder the garrison of Lilang and Lilang has returned many times in vain, and the price paid will be unimaginable if you want to capture this place!

As far as Huang Zheng and the others could see, there were some figures looming, and it seemed that the bandits were also well aware of the importance of this place and sent heavy troops to guard it.

"General Huang! You can't storm here, you need to outwit! After seeing it, Captain Zheng took the lead in saying.

"Hmmm! That's right! It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if we attack, the casualties are incalculable! ”

"General Huang! In that case, let's go back to the station first and report this situation to Wen Hou! After Wen Hou makes a decision, he will attack Luoyun Peak again! ”

"Good! Just do it! ”

For what Zheng Xiaowei said, Huang Lang General also deeply agreed, and unconsciously, Wen Bin has become a leader. According to common sense, the two of them should have been in charge at the military level, supplemented by Wen Bin. But who would have thought that at this time, the roles of the three would be reversed.

In order to prevent the bandits from escaping, Huang Lang will order a group of soldiers to stay here, and every three hours, another group of soldiers will come to change the guard.

In the following time, the Forbidden Army and the Praetorian Guard, under the leadership of Huang Zheng and the others, returned to the garrison in an orderly manner. Unlike when they came, when they returned, there were eighteen more prisoners in the ranks, all of whom were slightly wounded, and one by one they staggered forward, and were pushed hard by the soldiers from time to time.

At the same time, Wen Bin was in a hurry at the station, what was the battle situation ahead? He doesn't know yet! If it weren't for Zeng Chen's pull, Wen Bin really wanted to go to Luoyun Peak immediately to solve the confusion in his heart. But fortunately, the anxious wait was finally over, and a team of soldiers appeared in front of Wen Bin's eyes.

The leader of the team was none other than Captain Zheng, who nodded in the direction of Wen Bin, and delivered the news of victory to the latter in time. Seeing this scene, Wen Bin was immediately overjoyed, and the originally worried look was swept away on his face.

Wen Bin exhaled softly and stood motionless, waiting for Huang Zheng and the others to come and report it. A moment later, Huang Lang will join forces with Captain Zheng.

"Wen Hou! The last general and Captain Zheng were fortunate enough to exterminate the outer bandits in one fell swoop, and captured eighteen captives! ”

"Good! Good! Thank you for your hard work! ”

"It's all up to you!"

"Hey! If there are no soldiers fighting to the death, what is the use of this strategy! In this battle, you should take the first credit! ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Lang and Captain Zheng didn't dare to shout, but a touch of joy still appeared on their faces. After a while, Captain Zheng told Wen Bin about the situation of Luoyun Peak.

After listening to what Captain Zheng said, Wen Bin didn't speak immediately, he put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth. In order not to disturb Wen Bin's thoughts, Captain Zheng and General Huang Lang did not dare to make a sound, and even General Huang Lang made silent movements to the soldiers behind him.

Not long after, Wen Bin stopped, turned his head and said, "You did the right thing!" Don't storm it! The matter of attacking the mountain still needs to be carefully considered! By the way, where are the captives? ”

"Wait for the wait! The captives are now in the custody of the forbidden army, do you want to go? Captain Zheng took a step forward and said respectfully.

"No need! Captain Zheng, if you arrange for the soldiers to interrogate these prisoners, you must pry open their mouths and bring all the information about Luoyun Peak to Ben Hou! ”

"Order!"

As soon as the words fell, Captain Zheng was about to turn around and leave, and at this moment, Wen Bin said, "Slow! Captain Zheng! The captives were taken to different locations and interrogated by several soldiers. Tell these captives what Ben Hou said, and if it doesn't match the confessions of others, they will be killed on the spot! And the last prisoner who confessed was also killed on the spot! ”

"Order!"

Wen Hou's military order made General Huang Lang and Captain Zheng's eyes light up, and they suddenly felt that this method was very feasible. It can not only circumvent false information, but also force the bandits to confess quickly. For a while, Huang Zheng and the others' admiration for Wen Bin deepened a little, especially Huang Langjiang, who had willingly accepted Wen Bin's moderation.

Captain Zheng took the order to leave, came to the captives, and conveyed Wen Hou's order. After a while, eighteen captives were taken to different positions and interrogated by four soldiers.

In just a moment's work, bursts of screams sounded around the station, and since the soldiers in charge of interrogation were all from the forbidden army, it was not ruthless! With hatred and anger, these soldiers tortured those in front of them. For these bandits, life is worse than death at this moment!

Not long after, the captives confessed one by one, almost on the front and back feet, and eighteen confessions were completed. The bandits were eager to tell everything they knew, hoping to escape the torture of the soldiers.

The soldiers took the eighteen confessions together and compared them in pairs to see if there was any false information! In order to survive, these bandits really don't dare to provide false information, although it is trivial, but it is all true. In the end, he put together all the useful information, and then handed it over to Captain Zheng.

After Captain Zheng got the information, he first checked it carefully, and then hurriedly walked towards Wen Bin. After a while, this information was handed over to Wen Bin.

Wen Bin was very satisfied with this speed of interrogation, and praised Captain Zheng again and again. You must know that if it weren't for Captain Zheng who ordered to stop archery at the last moment, how could there be any prisoners at this moment, let alone intelligence!

According to intelligence, there are more than 450 bandits in Qiuling Mountain, a small number of whom are hunters forced to live, and the vast majority of them are thieves, bandits, and criminals who have traveled to various states.

Because Luoyun Peak is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be called the best stronghold, and it is close to the official road, so two months ago, this group of bandits was entrenched here. The Qiuling Mountain bandits are led by three leaders, namely He Qingping, the leader of the big leader, Jia Lei, the leader of the second leader, and Liang Donghai, the leader of the third leader.

This ambush was led by Liang Donghai, the leader of the three chiefs, with the intention of taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the officers and soldiers, first sneaking up on the people of the main general, and then taking advantage of the terrain to set up traps, thereby weakening the military strength of the officers and soldiers. Fortunately, after Wen Bin's reminder, the officers and soldiers did not fall into ambush, but defeated the bandits in one fell swoop in the subsequent battle.

Liang Donghai led a group of thieves to finally get out of the battle circle, but as soon as he came out of the woods, he was greeted by a rain of arrows. Caught off guard, Liang Donghai, the leader of the three leaders, was shot into a hedgehog and died on the spot.

The bandits who became captives were just minions who only knew some basic information, but they didn't know anything about the core information. Liang Donghai, as the leader of the three leaders, must know the core information, but he was shot as a hedgehog, which is useless. This is a great shame indeed.

Eighteen confessions all mention the fact that at this time on the mountain, there was water and food, there was no worry about food and drink, and there was only one path leading to the top of the mountain.
