Chapter 239: Serving the Crowd
However, he wasn't going to just get caught.
Holding back the tension in his heart, he shouted at the hesitant subordinates around him: "Brothers, don't listen to their nonsense....Our food and salary are all given by the chief soldier, and we will swear allegiance to the chief soldier..."
"Stop them for me and blast them out of the barracks..."
"Let's only listen to the commander-in-chief, for the sake of a generous monthly salary, we swear allegiance to the commander-in-chief......"
After a series of roars, not to mention, there were dozens or hundreds of Sun Tianwu's diehards, armed with weapons, rushing to the deputy general, making a desperate posture with the tiger and leopard army.
And in China, there is no shortage of vassals at any time.
Hundreds of Sun Tianwu's diehards had just shown their weapons, and the hundreds of soldiers who followed closely behind didn't know if they were sincere, and followed suitably to show their weapons.
Seeing this, Zhang Wu, who was standing on the platform of the general, knew that if he didn't give the two thousand private troops in front of him some color today, the two thousand private troops would never be captured.
After taking a deep breath, he ordered the musketeers behind him with a murderous face: "The first team of musketeers, get ready to shoot, the second team, the third team, stand by on the spot..."
As soon as the order was issued, more than 100 musketeers put up the muskets in their hands, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed directly at more than a dozen of them, and more than 100 Sun Tianwu were desperately loyal to the tiger and leopard army.
At this time, although the adjutant general's heart was weak for a while, he still held back the fear in his heart and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't be afraid, they are all scaring us." They did not dare to shoot. Otherwise. Why didn't they light the arquebuses of the muskets. Without the arquebus, the muskets in their hands were a pair of scrap metal, not even as good as the spears in our hands. ”
For an army like the Taiyuan garrison, it is not known, and it is impossible to know, that the Haw Par Army has been equipped with the latest flintlock muskets. Therefore, the words of the deputy general are like a calming pill for those diehard loyalists of Sun Tianwu. It immediately calmed their nervous and weak hearts.
He continued to hold up the spear and broadsword in his hand, and showed an attitude of not giving up.
Seeing this, Zhang Wu knew that a bloody conflict was inevitable.
Under the waiting of more than a hundred musketeers, the command full of murderous aura slowly came out of Zhang Wu's mouth.
"Whoever obstructs law enforcement will be killed... Shoot ......"
"Papapa......" Zhang Wu's order had just been issued, and more than 30 musketeers in the first row had already pulled the trigger in their hands without hesitation. With the sound of gunfire like bursting beans sounded on the battlefield, dozens of lead bullets completely wrapped in flames, with a sharp whistling. Swiftly erupted from the barrel of the black hole.
The hundreds of Sun Tianwu diehards who stood in front of the deputy general just showed a heartfelt expression of surprise on their faces. The whistling buckshot was already scorching, easily piercing through their armor and piercing into their bodies.
"Ah....ah...ah......" A series of screams sounded in front of the general's platform, and more than 20 soldiers with weapons in their hands had fallen to the ground with despair and shock before they died.
"How... Their muskets weren't even lit, so how could they shoot..."The lieutenant general, who was hiding behind these diehards, also showed an expression of unprecedented shock on his face, and muttered loudly to his subordinates.
However, his reflexes were quick, and the Haw Par Musketeers pulled the trigger even faster.
The exclamations full of shock had not yet fallen, and the second round of bean-like gunfire had reached his ears.
Under the stunned gaze, gunshots rang out, and among the hundreds of subordinates in front of them, more than 20 people fell again.
After three rounds of gunfire, a thick smell of gunpowder smoke was already in the air on the training ground of Nuoda. Of course, the slightest smell of blood also quickly spread on the training ground.
There were hundreds of Sun Tianwu diehards in front of the deputy general, and at this moment, there were only half and more than fifty people left.
In addition, the speed at which the Haw Par Army shot these three rounds of lead bullets was too fast, and after the three rounds of gunfire, on the training ground where thousands of people had gathered, except for a few painful screams that continued to sound in front of the point generals, only the heavy breathing of the soldiers remained.
At this time, Zhang Wu, who was dressed in military uniform, suddenly raised the roster in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Soldiers, brothers, you have all seen it, this is the price of fighting against the imperial court and against the Shanxi General Military Mansion...."
"I don't want to be as dead as them, so I will stand back..."
After speaking, Zhang Wu, who had a murderous face, ordered the musket battalion behind him again: "All the musket battalions have it, raise your gun... Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be shot immediately, and there will be no mercy..."
A series of shrill metal clashing sounds sounded on the point platform, except for the more than 100 musketeers who had already flattened the muskets in their hands, the remaining more than 300 musketeers in the musket battalion all raised their muskets without hesitation.
A single round of more than a hundred muskets caused such a lot of damage......
If 500 muskets were fired at the same time, what a terrible damage would be caused here, and if you were standing at the front, would you be unlucky enough to be hit by a lead bullet...
Faced with the barrels of muskets with five hundred black holes, everyone in front of the general stage was afraid.
Especially those Sun Tianwu diehards who have personally experienced the lead bullets whistling past their ears, and even have felt that death has descended on their heads, summoning them at any time.
Faced with the bloody corpses in front of them, and in the face of the threat of death, these people could no longer see the arrogance they had just now on their faces. At this moment, on their faces, everyone could not see any other expression except fear.
Ignoring the lieutenant who kept roaring behind him, he raised his feet and began to retreat.
At this time, more than 30 musketeers who were holding up their muskets and confronting Sun Tianwu loyalists did not miss this opportunity.
Following the passage that these people had already awayed, he rushed directly to the lieutenant who was still roaring.
dragged him, like dragging a pig, to the point platform.
After glancing at the lieutenant general who was still unconvinced with a sneer, Zhang Wu ordered loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, execute immediately, a hundred military sticks, not a single stick is missing..."
"Yes, sir..."
After the armor worn on the lieutenant general's body was forcibly removed, the two tiger-backed tiger leopard soldiers directly pressed the constantly struggling lieutenant general to the bench that had been prepared long ago. Then, a soldier of the Tiger and Leopard Army, who had not tasted courage at the glance, appeared on the general platform with a sneer on his face and a military stick in his hand.
"Slap...", a crisp voice sounded on the platform.
The Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers, who were full of strength, swung the military stick in their hands and hit the adjutant on the buttocks.
As a military general, the deputy general is still very courageous. I couldn't hold back the constant pain in my buttocks, but I didn't let out a scream.
However, as more and more military sticks continued to fall on the buttocks, the pants, which were still white just now, had been completely stained red with blood before they knew it. No matter how tough a military general is, at this moment, he can't help this piercing pain.
Immediately, a wail like killing a pig came out of the mouth of the adjutant general.
However, as the baton continued, this shout gradually became weaker, and in the end, it died down.
After sixty consecutive sticks were beaten on the adjutant general, he was still a high-spirited adjutant general just now, but at this moment, he had turned into a dead corpse that could no longer die.
Seeing this, Zhang Wu's murderous order came out of his mouth again...
"Vice General Wang, ordered a team of soldiers to carry his body and send it to the Taiyuan General Military Mansion. Since he is our Sun Zongbing's person, then we must return it to Sun Zongbing...."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Wu's eyes were full of fierceness, and he once again swept towards the two thousand soldiers who were already frightened in front of him.
Seeing that everyone subconsciously took a step back, they looked at themselves and the musketeers behind them with a look of fear. Zhang Wuyan's face finally showed a satisfied smile from the heart.
After taking a deep breath, he ordered loudly: "Now I order, starting today, cancel the establishment of your garrison in Taiyuan. If you want to continue to eat military salaries, then continue to stay in the Taiyuan Mansion garrison as soldiers, and I assure you that the military salaries you will receive in the future will definitely not be lower than now. ”
"If you don't want to continue to eat military salaries, I will definitely not have any dissatisfaction, as long as you take off your armor and weapons, you can leave the barracks...."
"So, from now on, all of you here are no longer court officials. I order you to put down your weapons and armor at once, and assemble on the right side of the station to make your decision....otherwise, there will be no forgiveness..."
"Kill....kill... Kill ......" As soon as Zhang Wu's order was given, the five hundred musketeers behind him roared in unison as if they had eaten gunpowder.
At this time, some timid soldiers, in the face of the murderous roar of the Tiger and Leopard Army, directly weakened their hands and dropped their weapons.
As the crisp crash sounded on the training ground, more and more soldiers began to drop their weapons ....
Even those reluctant soldiers, seeing their comrades-in-arms drop their weapons one after another, in order not to personally experience the taste of shooting a gun to the head, they had to drop their weapons, take off their armor, and follow the flow of people to assemble on the right side of the point.
Soon, the front of the Dianjiangtai was covered with all kinds of weapons and armor.
The 2,000 soldiers, who had nothing in their hands, all gathered to the right side of the Dianjiangtai with a face full of anxiety, waiting for the choice of fate.
"Okay, Wang Fujiang, let your people immediately transport all the equipment back and seal it. As for these people, after jumping out of all the officers, do what I just said..." (To be continued......
