Chapter 171: All Executions

The killing continues!

"Papapapa"

A row of guns swept by, and the three rebels who were fleeing on the street were hit by the lead bullets fired from behind, and fell to the ground screaming, one of them lay on the ground and screamed loudly, the shape was very miserable, but then the officers and soldiers who followed did not hesitate to stab him with the sharp spears in their hands, and the rebels shrank into a ball of pain, and let out an inhuman howl from their mouths, and after a while, they slowly widened their eyes and died.

A pikeman pulled out his spear and spat at the soldier, "These damn brutes are more than innocent!" After saying that, he continued to walk forward with his companion.

As the saying goes, what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers, in Pang Gang's team, the strictness of military discipline is by no means covered, not to mention burning, killing, and looting, even if it is to bully the civilian people at will, it will be punished heavily, coupled with the tireless indoctrination of the military discipline officers equipped in the military camp, which makes the sergeants look down on those who make a fortune by killing the people

And Pang Gang is not stingy, he knows that it is difficult to last long when he leads an army only by strict military discipline constraints, and if he wants his soldiers to be happy when they hear the battle, they must give the sergeants a hope and expectation, so he also set a strict reward and punishment system. Just like the sergeants of this squad now, they just wiped out three rebels, and according to the reward standard stipulated by Pang Gang, they can either take a small credit and accumulate to a certain level before they can be promoted. Or you can get a reward of two to three taels of silver, strict military discipline, cruel training and rich rewards have created the outstanding combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou army under Pang Gang.

The gunfire in Laizhou City gradually became quieter, and the rebels in the city were either annihilated or surrendered, and a small number of people ran into the houses to hide and never dared to show their heads again.

By noon, all the rebels in Laizhou City had been basically encircled and suppressed, and in addition to the nearly 1,000 rebels who had been killed, the remaining 500 or so who had surrendered were overwhelmed on a large flat ground outside the south gate.

Pang Gang stood on a mound with a calm face, and beside him stood Shu Feisong, the prefect of Laizhou, and the commander of Tongzhi Weijiang, as well as Qi Wuming, Bin Shiqian, Deputy Qianhu Hao Dayong and others, and around them were more and more people of Laizhou City, densely packed with tens of thousands of people, and the huge wilderness was crowded.

Pang Gang asked without looking back: "Governor Shu, have all the people in the city arrived?" ”

Shu Feisong wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly returned: "Back to the general, according to your orders, there is at least one person from every household." Some even had the whole family there. ”

"Hmm!" Pang Gang nodded but was silent, he had already learned a general idea from Wei Jiang and several captured rebels about why there was a disturbance in Laizhou, and he was naturally not very interested in this prefect who only knew how to drink and play with silver.

At this time, several sergeants pushed more than a dozen rebels and walked over, and a general banner led by Pang Gang walked up to Pang Gang and reported loudly: "Lord Qiqi, the lowly rank and others have captured the leader who instigated the rebellion of the soldiers, please show me!" ”

"Well, well done!" Pang Gang said loudly: "If you can make this contribution, this official will naturally write it down for you in the merit book, and reward it together when you return to Qingzhou!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" The general flag raised his head and gave Pang Gang a military salute before returning to the queue.

Pang Gang slowly walked in front of these people, and when he saw these officers who were obviously dressed brighter than the ordinary rebels, he sneered: "Which of you is the leader? ”

"My lord, my lord, spare my life! The villain was also forced to lead the brothers out to beg for food. ”

As soon as Pang Gang's words fell, an officer with a sturdy figure and the best clothes among these officers immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, the villain was confused for a while, so he did such a foolish thing. The team has not been paid for three months, but the brothers still have the old and young in the family to support, and the villain just wants to ask Shangguan for some salary, my lord, you will spare the villain this time! ”

This officer is Zhou Hao, although he hasn't read any books, but he is not stupid, he knows that in this situation it is a fool's thing to do, according to his usual experience, as long as he begs for mercy and says a few words to soften, Shangguan will not kill them all, after all, Laizhou still depends on them to defend it.

But today he ran into a person who played cards unreasonably, Pang Gang stared at him for a while before sneering: "You are Zhou Hao, the leader of the rebellious soldiers, right?" ”

Zhou Hao, who knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, quickly nodded and said, "The villain is Zhou Hao." ”

"You are not so bold, you dare to set up for robbery and indiscriminate killing of innocents." Pang Gang's demeanor was cold, and his tone was more like a perennial iceberg, as if it could freeze people, and Pang Gang's hand holding the hilt of the knife was clenched tighter at the moment: "The official knows that you all want to live, but it's a pity that the official can't agree, you and your minions should take advantage of the last bit of time to look at the sun in the sky, it's almost noon now!" ”

"What? Your Excellency, you can't, you can't! As soon as Zhou Hao and the surrounding officers and soldiers heard the tone of the adult in front of them that they were going to execute them all, hundreds of tied rebels, including Zhou Hao, all stirred. It wasn't until the spears and birds of the officers and soldiers around them who had been watching them fiercely were crushed by the bullets.

Shu Feisong, who was on the side, was also a little surprised and said: "General, these are all prisoners, it is ominous to kill prisoners since ancient times, do you really want to execute them all?" ”

Pang Gang ignored him, stood on the mound and said loudly to the surrounding people: "Folks, everyone has heard of the military discipline of the Yue family army under Grandpa Yue, Grandpa Yue has a cloud: "Freeze to death without demolishing the house, starve to death without disturbing the people", why did we come to the military station, at the big one said that it was to protect the family and defend the country, and to the small one said that it was to keep the peace of one side. If our generation of soldiers can't do this, they are already ashamed of the battle robes on their bodies, but if they want to harm their neighbors and their brothers and sisters, it is simply an act that is inferior to beasts. Let's take a look at the sins of these beasts! ”

After speaking, Pang Gang waved his hand, and hundreds of soldiers brought a corpse and placed it in front of everyone, these corpses were men and women, old and young, the death was extremely miserable, those men were slightly better, but almost all the women were insulted, looking at the women who were in disarray and their frightened and resentful expressions before they died, everyone's hearts were pinched.

Those who had relatives who had died in the turmoil wept bitterly, and many recognized the bodies of their own relatives and threw themselves over and howled.

Hundreds of corpses continued to be placed on the ground as if there was no end, Shu Feisong, the straw bag prefect's face had already turned sallow, Wei Jiang's face was even greener, the effect of so many corpses placed in front of him was amazing, and the air in the wilderness seemed to have condensed.

Pang Gang turned around again and faced Zhou Hao and asked lightly, "Do you still think you're just making a fuss?" ”

"I, me, I" knew that Zhou Hao, who was going to be unable to escape death, although his face was pale, he still shouted without giving up: "I am a dignified and six-grade court official, if you want to kill me, you need to report to the Ministry of Defense, you can't kill me!" ”

Pang Gang snorted coldly: "The military department? This official is a general of Dingyuan and a general of Shandong East Road, do you still need to report to the Ministry of War if you want to kill a renegade of the Sixth Rank Deputy Thousand Households? Let me tell you, I will kill you and your henchmen today, and even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to save you!"

After speaking, Pang Gang shouted to Qi Wuming beside him: "Qi Baihu, execute immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Qi Wuming, who had been waiting impatiently, waved his hand, and immediately two hundred sergeants with spears stood up, and each of them dragged a rebel to a pile of rocks, and ordered them to kneel down immediately.

It's just that this scene can't arouse the slightest sympathy from these sergeants, and they let these chaotic soldiers stand and immediately retreat to the side, at this time, there are already a hundred bird guns standing in front of them about five steps in front of them, and with Qi Wuming's order, Qi Shushu raised the bird guns that had already been loaded with ammunition in their hands.

"Put!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

With a deafening burst of gunfire, the hundred rebels all fell in a pool of blood.

With the death of these 100 rebels, the pikemen went over and brought a hundred rebels over, and some of these rebels were already paralyzed by fright and dragged to the rocks by the sergeants when they saw the previous scenes, and some shouted loudly that Lao Tzu would be a good man again in eighteen years, but these scenes could not change their fate in the slightest.

"Put!"

"Bang bang bang" another group of rebels were shot.

This deafening gunshot, accompanied by the bloody scene, was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of Laizhou City, until many years later, this land of rocky beaches was still faint red, and it also became the place where Laizhou City executed death row prisoners.

In the end, when it was Zhou Hao's turn, the deputy Qianhu, who was full of dreams of being promoted to become rich a few days ago, was scared stupid, and the whole person collapsed to the ground and struggled desperately, desperately struggling so that the two pikemen almost couldn't hold him, and finally Pang Gang was annoyed, walked to his side and pulled out the scimitar on his waist with such a wave, a huge head with blood gushing like a spring spilled an arc in the air and flew down not far away, and the head that fell to the ground was still wide open.

Pang Gang withdrew his scimitar and whispered to Shu Feisong, who was already stunned beside him: "Governor Shu, you have to remember that next time you can no longer owe the soldiers their salaries, otherwise such a thing will happen."
