Chapter 1059: What nonsense is telling the truth!
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
"Come on...... It should be aimed at the gap in the rib cage and then slowly, slowly poking the sword in. ”
The bearded uncle looked serious, and in his arms was a young man in his twenties, and the uncle was holding the young man's hand with both hands in an embraced position, and the young man had a long sword in his hand, and the sharp edge of the sword was against the chest of a white-skinned middle-aged man.
The white-skinned middle-aged man looked frightened, his mouth kept talking, the speed of his speech was very urgent, his hands were raised, and his body was ridden but he didn't dare to struggle. If you can understand what he says, you are actually saying something like the old and the young, and in short, you are begging for mercy.
The cold blade slowly advanced, tearing through the clothes and skin, and finally slowly made a tooth-souring sound, and a blood stain also astringent out of the linen clothes, and soon dyed a large piece of red, and the white-skinned middle-aged man's eyes were very large, as if they were about to bulge out of the eyeballs, full of bloodshots, panting heavily.
"Yes, that's it, and then ......"
The uncle grabbed the young man's hand, the hilt of the sword was twisted, and the white-skinned middle-aged man who was pressed under him let out a miserable howl, his legs and hands kept struggling, waiting for the sword to fall and the body was about twenty centimeters, and the scene was quiet.
The young man shook off the uncle, and he sat on the yellow sand beside him, breathing rapidly, but there was no panic on his face, only a little ugly.
"How? Killing someone is actually quite simple, there is nothing to hesitate about. ”
The uncle's name is Huang Ye, and his ancestral home is in Zhaodi, but he joined the army on the Jiujiang side. When he joined the army, the empire did not have half a shadow, and it was the Han army that joined at that time. After joining the Han Army. He served as a county soldier for about two years...... That is, the local garrison, who was fortunate enough to participate in the Battle of Changsha later, and it was also in the Battle of Changsha that he killed someone for the first time.
The young man is also from Zhao Di, his name is Huang Xing, and he is actually Huang Ye's nephew. It was not by chance that he would appear in the Western Regions, it was because the family was in urgent need of money, and his father asked his uncle, so Huang Ye reluctantly agreed to take him out to wander.
"These experiences have been very useful to you." Huang Ye casually pulled out the sword inserted in the corpse, and even wiped the blood on the sword with the linen clothes of the Western Regions. While wiping it, he said: "Now that there is no war in the homeland, the only way to see blood is to go outside the border, and then not everyone can go abroad." ”
"Uncle, I understand what you mean." Huang Xing adjusted his breathing and smiled, although he smiled a little reluctantly, he still laughed. He said: "It's not easy for the army to enter now, I understand. ”
In fact, there were not only these uncles and nephews at the scene, there was a group of people on their left, it was a few warriors from the empire who were tying up some natives of the Western Regions. On the right are six or seven criminals with their hands tied behind their backs and their heads covered with cloth bags.
The army of the empire is becoming more and more difficult to enter, especially some main battle legions do not directly recruit troops at all, and generally select excellent troops from some standing legions to supplement. In addition, it is not so easy to join the Standing Legion. It is no longer the era of good physical fitness, and a certain literacy rate is also required to have good physical fitness.
"Good job!" Huang Ye said with a look of encouragement: "This time I went back, the conditions at home have improved, and then I will go and read some books first." Then try to join the army. ”
"Hmmm! My father wanted to build a new house, and this time if he made enough money, he would build it and go to school. Huang Xing talked about his plans for the future, and he didn't seem to care so much about killing someone just now. He said in a tone of expectation, "I will definitely be able to join the main battle legion too!" ”
"Such a little ambition." A majestic warrior with a cloth covering his face walked next to him, he patted Huang Xing's shoulder and said, "Not only do you want to join the main battle legion, but you also have to fight to join the forbidden army." I told you kid that the Forbidden Army is the most elite army in the Empire, you know? ”
Huang Ye looked at the majestic warrior and scolded with a smile: "Chen Bing, you are enough, aren't you from the forbidden army, you have shown off more than once." ”
"I'm telling the truth, the main battle legion selects people from the standing legion, but the forbidden army selects from the main battle legion." Chen Bing patted his majestic chest and said with a little pride: "Don't look at the forbidden army rarely fights, but the empire has today, and that is the old number before the forbidden army." ”
Huang Ye pursed his lips but did not refute, the forbidden army was almost the most elite group of the Han army before, and the empire can have the current and indeed the foundation laid by those old names, but he does not think that the current forbidden army can be compared with those elites at the beginning of the founding of the country.
"Kill those guys." Chen Bing pointed to those who were covered in burlap bags: "If you kill them, you will be buried by the way." ”
Huang Xing stood up with one hand on the ground and asked, "Can I do it?" ”
Chen Bing: "Heh! He said, "Okay, see more blood, but there is no extra wages." ”
Huang Xing took the sword from his uncle and said, "I know." Then he walked over, one by one, and stabbed his sword from top to bottom near the collarbone of his shoulder with his sword, which he had heard was the best way to deal with prisoners of war, and that it would reduce the pain of those who were about to die a lot more than cutting off their heads and stabbing them head-on.
Their team of mercenaries will be here, it is to hunt down a group of bandits who robbed the imperial caravan before, and looking at their current appearance, the battle has actually been resolved.
Yes, the village they captured seemed to be a small village next to an oasis, but this was not the case. From the fact that these natives of the Western Regions can firmly occupy the oasis, it can be judged that the small village itself has a good amount of force, otherwise it would never be possible to occupy the oasis.
The village, which must have a population of more than 500 people, had attacked a caravan coming to the Western Regions from the empire mainland a month earlier, killing three and wounding seventeen, and robbing some of its belongings. They themselves paid the price of nearly 30 casualties, and they did not hesitate to evacuate quickly when they saw the opportunity.
Originally, this village thought that the matter would be over, but what they didn't expect was that in the early hours of this morning, nearly 30 horsemen suddenly entered the village at night, and they directly killed without any negotiation.
Because the attack was too sudden, and the thirty or so horsemen who entered the village were really brutal, some of the villagers who were the first to resist were killed first, and the villagers tried to solve it peacefully when they saw the fierceness of the invading knights. For example, according to the local rules of the Western Regions, the best woman in the village and enough goods and food were given.
What the villagers didn't expect was that the attacking cavalry didn't tell them any Western Regions customs at all, they simply killed whoever they caught, and they didn't say anything after killing the village lost the ability to resist, and brutally gathered the villagers who were scared half to death, and killed all the old people in silence.
In the end, less than 200 villagers remained, and apart from most of the women of childbearing age, there were less than 20 men in the prime of life and about 30 children.
Up to now, it is estimated that the villagers of this village have not yet figured out why this tragic incident happened, and they have not tried to ask clearly, but they are limited by the language barrier. It is estimated that only by waiting for the day when the survivors learn the imperial Chinese language can they figure it out.
What if this village hadn't attacked the caravan and killed the wrong one? Huang Ye's mercenary team, they were very sure that it was the people from this village who attacked the caravan, and those who were blindfolded were proof of this.
"Those guys' heads need to be chopped off and then properly concocted with lime." Chen Bing was flipping through a stack of papers with sketches of human faces. He held up the paper and said, "Take the caravan and get the money, and the rest will take it to the military and sell it for a good price." ”
"Gotta do it!" Huang Ye nodded his head and licked his lips. In a deliberative tone, he asked, "I heard that there are other villages nearby, do you want to do a ticket while you stop by?" ”
Chen Bing looked at Huang Xing, and finally looked at Huang Ye again, and scolded with a smile: "Your nephew is building a house and marrying a daughter-in-law. Short on money? ”
Huang Ye directly admitted: "I am very short of money. ”
Chen Bing put away the paper, pondered for a moment, and said, "This trip is not allowed, wait and see if it will stop by next time." ”
Although Huang Ye was disappointed, he didn't say much.
It sounds really brutal. Attack whoever you want at every turn, but this is the status quo, how can a peace-loving person be a mercenary. At the same time, for mercenaries, who to attack has nothing to do with morality or anything. First, they are not committing traitors in the empire, and second, they are not attacking their own people, for people like them who go abroad to seek wealth, only whether they can fight or not, and whether they should be attacked or not.
Escorting the captives on the road, when they passed the village that Huang Ye said, several natives of the Western Regions appeared in their field of vision.
Regarding the appearance of natives from the Western Regions, Chen Bing and others were not unaware of it in advance. Although there are few people in their mercenary team, there are people who have been mixed with the commander of the tun, and sending scouts or something is basic common sense for officers.
"Those guys brought water, food, and women." A middle-aged knight who looks like Sven, he is the head of this mercenary team. He was the one who had been in the position of the chief. He instructed Huang Ye and said, "Bring your nephew over, and the woman can bring it over." ”
In the Western Regions, water and food are not things that can be easily accepted, and there are some imperial people who don't know these common sense, they think that the natives of the Western Regions are sending water and food to show their obedience, and after eating and drinking, they were recruited, and then became a naked ~ corpse that was stripped naked and thrown on the Gobi.
Huang Ye and Huang Xing didn't see many natives from the Western Regions, it was an old man, two fierce middle-aged men, and eight young-looking women.
Because of the language barrier, the uncle and nephew did not have any extra nonsense, they threw the old man a few weapons that had just been captured, and waited for the eight women to go to their own team with peace of mind.
The old man of the Western Regions commanded two middle-aged men to pack up their weapons and shout something loudly, and about twenty more men from the Western Regions came out, and a group of people quickly disappeared.
"This place, let's say they are poor, they look very poor, but they are not poor and there is no shortage of war horses." Huang Ye looked at the natives of the Western Regions who rode away on horseback with a greedy expression.
Huang Xing was constantly looking at the woman from the Western Regions who was following behind, and this action made Huang Ye laugh out loud.
"Uncle, I don't understand." Huang Xing felt extremely confused: "These women will follow us in the future?" ”
"If you dare to have the idea of marrying a foreign mother-in-law, you don't need your uncle to beat you, and your son will break your dog's leg!" Huang Ye scolded a few words, and then said with a smile: "The alien races in the Western Regions don't care about any women at all, several of these women must be someone's wife, they came here so that we don't attack their village, they are here to sleep with them, and they have to go back." If you want to sleep, pick one at night and give some money when you're done. ”
"I still can't." Huang Xing said shyly: "Xiaohua is still waiting for me to go back." ”
"The little flower of the second dog's family?" Huang Ye grinned: "It's a good girl, but you still pick one to sleep on at night." ”
"The smell of these aliens is too strong." Huang Xing dares to dislike this? He added: "Besides, money is not spent like this, and I am still thinking about buying a headdress for Xiaohua when I go back." ”
"I slaughtered so many people today, it's easy to calm down when I find a woman to sleep with." Huang Ye said domineeringly: "If you want to sleep, you will choose to sleep!" ”
Huang Xing hesitated for a moment, it was normal for him to look at it, but he didn't care at all about killing several people just now, and finally nodded, but he inevitably muttered: "Give a few dollars, how much is that?" ”
Just as Huang Xing was muttering all the way, the mercenary team arrived at their destination.
This is a camp located next to the Gobi Oasis, and you can see a large flag towering into the sky, the flag is a kind of black background and white characters with the word "Empire" written on it, and the camp looks quite large.
"Yo! Lao Chen, did you really run into it? ”
"What a nonsense, what a big truth!"
"Please have a drink, and you must have a drink in the evening!"
"Come here that night!"
The camp belonged to the Western Legion, and similar camps were not uncommon in the Western Regions, especially on the road to the empire mainland.
There was a garrison inside the camp, and the garrison's camp was not connected to the open camp. The so-called open camp, which is provided to past business travelers and mercenary teams, is not actually forbidden to non-Imperial people to enter, but the most people in the open camp are from the Imperial side.
When they entered the camp, the middle-aged Sven took some people to exchange their heads for a bounty, and the rest of the team members were led by Chen Bing to find a local garrison, one was to sell the captured prisoners to pay the money, the second was to find the army to treat the wounded, and the third was to replenish some necessary arrows and repair the damaged leather armor and weapons.
Huang Xing and Huang Ye, his uncle and nephew were assigned a very simple task, which was to take the women who were "picked up" halfway back to the station, and the first thing they had to do was to arrange for those women from the Western Regions to boil water and take a bath or something.
There were a lot of people who greeted them along the way, but the familiar people were laughing at Huang Ye and their team saved some money, and they even casually "picked up" some natives back.
"Uncle, what do they mean by such jokes?"
"You idiot, you can't be quiet!"
"Tell me, will?"
"Even sleeping women are also divided into grades, and we sleep at the lowest grade!"
“…… Yes? ”
