Chapter 127: Forced Confessions (4/5)

The Shannan army can't fight, but now one by one they are majestic, pick up the swords and guns in their hands, and rush forward to slash and stab the horse thieves who have been disarmed......

"Bastard! How can it be that they have surrendered! Li Guanqi scolded angrily on the high platform, "Torture and kill prisoners, you also call yourself capable?" ”

Feudal dynasty, the sky and the earth are big, the emperor is the biggest, Chen Guangxi is unruly and unruly, as long as he does not rebel for a day, he will have to listen to the emperor for a day. Now seeing that Li Guanqi was furious, he had no choice but to stop his soldiers from killing prisoners.

Li Guanqi took He Ziming, Bai Wuxian and others down the high platform to take a look, in addition to the dead and wounded soldiers all over the ground, there were more than forty horse thieves who had not had time to escape, and at this time they had been firmly controlled by Yu Linwei with a crossbow, and there was no strength to resist at all.

He Ziming saw Li Guanqi walking around among the dead bodies, as if he was looking for something, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what are you looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for arrows!" Li Guanqi said while looking around.

"Arrows? What arrows? Aren't there many arrows on the ground? He Ziming asked strangely.

At this time, Li Guanqi had already squatted down next to the stone of a horse thief, who was wearing a hat, and an arrow was stuck in the hat, which was shot by the Shannan army in the first wave of arrow rain.

Li Guanqi stretched out his hand to pick up the arrow, his brows suddenly furrowed, the arrow was less than one or two weights, he used one hand to force, "click", and the arrow was broken from it, it was a hollow arrow......

"It's called Chen Guangxi!" Li Guanqi said in a deep voice.

"Spread Chen Guangxi!" He Ziming shouted.

"The minister is here!" Chen Guangxi was wiping the blood stains on his face with a wet towel, and when he heard the scream, he hurriedly walked over.

"What's going on?" Li Guanqi asked, holding the light arrow.

"Oops! Why did you forget that? No wonder those horse thieves will break through the formation today! Chen Guangxi had a look of sudden realization and said, "Your Majesty, this is a light arrow!" It is an arrow that is specially used in military parades. This arrow can shoot far away, but it is light and fluttering, which can not only reflect the good use of the soldiers' bows and arrows, but also will not have accidents during the parade! ”

"Who came up with such a good idea?" Li Guanqi gritted his teeth and asked with a smile.

"This is the idea that the dog Chen Yinjie came up with! The minister looked good, and promoted it in the whole army! Chen Guangxi didn't notice the anger behind Li Guanqi's smile.

"You two have a lot of brains! Well, that's good! Li Guanqi said with a sneer. Then he flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned to visit the wounded again.

The number of horse thieves who came to plunder this time was less than 500, and 300 died, most of whom died at the hands of Xiao Caiwei and Yulinwei, more than 40 were captured, and less than 100 escaped; None of the Horsemen and Feathers were killed, and only a few of the Horsemen were slightly injured; However, most of the 3,000 Shannan troops were killed and wounded, and Li Guanqi looked at the past, all of them were wounded by the Shannan army.

So far. Li Guanqi can be regarded as having thoroughly seen the combat ability of the Shannan Army, he shook his head helplessly, he knew that the Shannan Army was so vulnerable, he should have let Xiao Caiwei and Yulin Wei go to the top as soon as possible, and be responsible for the results of the battle.

Bai Wuxian looked at the dead people on the ground just now, all he could smell was blood in his nose, and he ran to the side to vomit for a long time, and now he finally eased up. Hurriedly ran over again, and said to Li Guanqi with a smile: "Your Majesty will personally command this time." Our army won a complete victory, killing more than 400 thieves, and the emperor was wise and powerful, and his name was ...... in the United States."

Li Guanqi waved his hand to stop Bai Wuxi's words of praise, and called Chen Guangxi and said, "General Chen." Before I came to Shannan, I had heard a lot of talk about the combat strength of your Shannan garrison. It is said that compared with the border army, your Shannan army is 108,000 miles behind, and it has always only lost battles and not won battles. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, what else do you have to say? ”

Although Chen Guangxi does not buy Li Guanqi's face. But today's own soldiers really don't earn face for themselves, and their faces are flushed when Li Guanqi says it, so they have to say in a sneering voice: "Your Majesty taught you a lesson!" Minister...... Shame on you. The soldiers under his command have been peaceful for a long time, and they have been absent from the battle formation for a long time, and they are really panicked when they see the horse thief, and they are ashamed. ”

Li Guanqi was actually really angry in his heart, but he also knew that Chen Guangxi had always been used to flying and domineering, and he was too serious, but he was afraid that he might not be able to listen to it, so he should still appease him now, so he had to say: "Actually, my Xiao Cavalry Guard and Yu Lin Wei have not gone through the battle formation, but you also saw it just now, as long as you are not timid and afraid of battle, no matter how new the soldier is, he can fight a decent battle." Your soldiers...... It's time to practice! ”

Chen Guangxi's face was flushed with shame, although he was still unconvinced in his heart, but now he could only say submissively: "Yes, yes, the ministers obey the order, and they must train hard!" ”

Li Guanqi then said: "The soldiers are fine but not many, turn back, those old, weak, sick and disabled, you should also clean up in time!" In my opinion, the garrison in Shannan can be cut in half. Speaking of this, seeing Chen Guangxi's face pale, he immediately said, "Of course, you are the capital of Shannan, I just said that, and you have to make up your mind what to do." This matter, turn around and play it to me! ”

Chen Guangxi secretly gritted his back molars and said in a low voice: "Yes!" ”

After returning to the city, Li Guanqi first arranged for someone to register the information of the people killed and wounded in the battle, instructed them to pay heavy compensation to their families, and then went to the Xiaocaiwei and Yulinwei garrisons, and rewarded the personnel who participated in the battle today in front of the army. Xie Chen and Chang Di directly rewarded the title of General Sipin Xuanwei.

After everything was done, Li Guanqi began to interrogate the captured horse thief, his eyes swept over more than forty captives one by one, and finally landed on a horse thief wearing a woman's clothes, his eyes touched him, and he dodged for a while, Li Guanqi walked up to him and said, "Who is your leader?" How many people are there? Where do you usually move? What hurtful things have you done? Are there any other horse thieves nearby? ”

When the thief heard this, he looked at his companion from side to side, closed his lips tightly, and said nothing.

Li Guanqi smiled faintly and said, "Actually, if you don't say it, you think I don't know?" The one who was crushed today is your leader, right? ”

The horse thief remembered the situation when Wang Yilong was killed, raised his head slightly and glanced at the nameless behind Li Guanqi, and unconsciously shivered again, muttering in a low voice: "You know everything, why do you still ask?" ”

Li Guanqi sneered and said: "Whether I know it or not, whether you say it or not, are two different things. Now I ask you again, how many of you are there? Where do you usually move? What hurtful things have you done? Are there any other horse thieves nearby? ”

The thief licked his lips, but still didn't speak.

Li Guanqi let out a cold snort in his nose, pointed at the nameless horse thief and said, "You have also seen his methods of killing, but do you know his methods of torturing people?" ”

"By what means?" The horse thief asked subconsciously.

Li Guanqi said expressionlessly: "Have you ever heard of peeling? It's to dig a hole and bury you, leaving only your head exposed, and then cut your scalp with a knife and pour mercury on it, and you'll get out of the crack on the top of your head, and of course your skin will be ripped off by yourself.

There is also the punishment of scrubbing, which is to strip you naked, pour boiling water on you, and then use an iron brush dipped in salt to brush down layer by layer;

There is also the punishment of gut pumping, which also strips you naked, and then uses a hook to stick through your buttocks, and then hooks out all your intestines. Do you know? After the intestines are hooked out, you will live for a long time before you die! ”

Li Guanqi said that it was all torture methods that later generations saw from dark novels, and the horse thief was halfway through his forehead when he heard it, and suddenly said in a dumb voice: "If I recruit it, will you spare me?" ”

Li Guanqi was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, this horse thief must have done something unforgivable, his eyes fell on the woman's clothes on him, he rolled up the corner of the shirt, and asked, "You snatched this dress back?" How's the girl of his master? ”

The horse thief's face changed, the dress he had stripped from a young woman who had just married him during a robbery in a neighboring county last month, and the woman ...... The woman......

Li Guanqi saw that he was cowardly and still lying, so he turned around abruptly and calmed down the idea of strangling him alive, and then said word for word: "You say it, I let you die happily, this is the only condition, you have no second choice." ”

The man was stunned, chewed Li Guanqi's words again, and only then did he realize the meaning of his words, and his eyes couldn't help showing a look of fear, Li Guanqi said coldly: "Have you decided?" I don't necessarily have to know your situation. If I don't say it, I won't give it a second chance! With that, he turned around and left.

Seeing Li Guanqi walking out of the door step by step, thinking about the horror of the punishments such as "peeling the skin", "scrubbing" and "hooking the intestines" that Li Guanqi just said, the horse thief finally couldn't help but shout: "I recruit me, I recruit all of them, I just ask you to leave me a whole corpse!" ”

Under the persecution of Li Guanqi, the horse thief finally couldn't bear the pressure and told everything he knew.

In fact, he is just an ordinary minion, and the information he knows is not of much value. What he said is basically the same as what Li Guanqi thought, these horse thieves are generally a group of dozens of people, a large group of hundreds of people, there is no fixed base, they are all wandering around and looting, and the army of the imperial court wants to take the initiative to deal with them, which is indeed a headache.

But just when the horse thief was about to finish, he suddenly mentioned a place name, which made Li Guanqi pay attention to it suddenly, and what the horse thief said was "Fuyu Mountain Liuyun Village". (To be continued......)
