Chapter 682: Be a hero

Fang Xie sent people back to the camp of Zhuque Mountain to give an order, so that Cui Zhongzhen led his troops to attack Xinyang City, and Dugu Wenxiu, who came back from negotiations with Jin Shixiong, was reused again, and his position in the Black Flag Army became more and more obvious. And Sun Kaidao, who was entrusted with important tasks by Fang Xie before, disappeared into Fang Jie's various military orders as if he had been forgotten.

After Luo Yao died, Fang Xie asked Xiahou to lead the troops to slaughter from the east of the city to the west of the city in Yongzhou City, and the cavalry directly broke into the Gaomen compound of those big families, and killed people when they saw them.

After the blood in Yongzhou City flowed like a river, not only the gentry in the city were frightened, but also the 30,000 county soldiers who followed Fang Jie. Originally, they thought that Fang Jie's killing along the way was enough, but Fang Xie first slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people outside Yongzhou City and then wiped out all the clans in the city, hitting them again and again like a heavy hammer.

But no matter how many people were killed, after all, it didn't touch the county soldiers, so the fear was not unbearable, and after this incident passed, it became the talk of the county soldiers after dinner. Of course, no one dares to say it on the bright side, even if he scolds Fang Xie for being cold-blooded and inhumane, he just mutters something in a low voice.

But just when they thought Fang Xie had killed enough, the killing came again.

When it was still dark, the door of the county soldier camp had not yet been opened, Fang Xie suddenly arrived, and his subordinates easily climbed over the fence and went in to open the gate, and when the county soldiers on duty heard the sound coming out, a team of hundreds of elite horsemen had already rushed in. Before the soldiers on duty blew the horn to warn, they were put to the ground by the Xiao Cavalry School, gagged and tied aside.

Immediately after, about three thousand cavalry rushed straight in with the roar of thunder.

"Blowing the Horn"

Fang Xie got down from the white lion, walked quickly up to the podium, sat down, and commanded.

The black boy Yan took the horn of the herald and blew it, he was full of energy, and the horn blew extremely loudly. The sound of the horn of the assembly was long and short, and it fluttered far away.

It was a long time before the horn sounded before someone came ragged and tentatively came to see what was happening, and when they saw a black cavalry on the school grounds, they were immediately startled. The first people to arrive didn't expect that it would be Fang Jie, some of them didn't wear armor, some of them didn't hold weapons, and they ran to the school field with white faces and stood up. It's just a sparse formation, where there is a bit of strict momentum.

Fang Xie took out his pocket watch and looked at it, frowning slightly.

"Nie Xiaoju, Yan Mad, you two take the Xiao Cavalry School to take people, and all the officers above the team who are not present will be taken down. If anyone resists, cut it down. ”

"Whoa!"

Yan Yan and Nie Xiaoju agreed, beckoned to rush into the barracks with a large group of Xiao Cavalry School, and after a while, the sound of a commotion came out of the barracks.

"Murder!"

A panicked roar was heard in the distance, and those who heard it were almost frightened.

After half an hour, the soldiers on the school field were barely assembled, and some of them were asleep to death, and they were dragged out of the tent by the Xiao Riding School and beaten with sticks, and the skin and flesh of the beating were opened. There are those who resist bravely, and they are directly chopped to death by random knives. Many officers drank wine and slept sweetly last night, and they were tied up by the wolf-like horseman school in their dreams.

There were 30,000 county soldiers, and there were quite a few officers above the team, from the time the horn was blown to Fang Jie's order to take people, Fang Xie waited for almost thirty minutes, even so, within this time, not even one-fifth of the officers who arrived at the school field, and the remaining four-fifths of the six or seven hundred people were all taken, including the 30,000 county soldiers.

Nanhui Dao, Beihui Dao, Yongbei Dao, the leaders of these three county soldiers will be tied up and pushed to the bottom of the point platform, and when they see the cold face under the torch, even their legs and feet are weak.

"I gave you twice as much time to get your armor and weapons, and gave you twice as much time to form your team, and today suddenly blew the horn and assembled, I thought that the worst of the troops would be fifty percent of the troops on the school field, even if they were not neatly dressed, they could be tolerated. But in fact, less than one-third of the soldiers arrived at the school yard in two times as long as the time came, and less than one-fifth of the officers above the rank of the platoon. ”

Fang Jie's voice was a little chilling: "The soldiers on duty at Yuanmen are sleeping like dead pigs, thousands of cavalry have already come in, and you are still sleeping!" If it's not me who comes in, but the enemy, do you think you can win? I'm here to tell you, if the enemy really arrives, there will be no one standing on the school grounds, all mutilated corpses!! ”

"The Great General forgives the sins!"

"The Great General forgives the sins!"

The three men looked at each other, and then they all knelt down and begged for mercy. Since following Fang Xie all the way south, Fang Jie's temperament has also been almost touched, and if the young general in front of Zhi Lu Dao is really angry, he will kill people without blinking.

"You have no sin."

Fang Jie's tone softened a little, and the three Lang generals immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The general is tolerant!" ”

"Because you're no longer my soldiers."

Fang Xie waved his hand: "Behead these three people first." ”

"Fang Jie!"

A Lang general fell to the ground in fright, and after understanding what had happened, he roared angrily at Fang Jie: "You deliberately want to kill us today!" Even if I wait, you're going to kill us! If you don't kill us, you won't feel at ease! ”

Fang Xie glanced at him and said slowly: "You are wrong, if you are wrong, I will keep you." You yourself gave me the reason to kill you, and there are not so many assumptions in this world. ”

Xiao Riding School swarmed up, dragged the three people up and escorted them to the front of the school field, and cut off their heads neatly, not even giving the three of them a chance to say a few words. The three heads fell to the ground, and the scene was suddenly silent!

……

……

Fang Xie stood up and walked slowly to the side of the point, and glanced at the silent county soldiers below: "I brought you from the north to let you do your duty as a soldier. What is the point of a man joining the army if he does not protect his family and defend the country? Fighting Nanyan, the cavalry of our Black Flag Army rushed back and forth for thousands of miles. Fight the people, or my Black Flag Army cavalry to rush back and forth to fight a battle, can it be used to you? ”

Fang Xie sneered: "I didn't use you, because I know that you have not been in the army for a long time, and you have never been on the battlefield and have never seen blood, I am afraid that you will suffer heavy casualties, and I will not be able to explain to your family." To put it mildly, I know that you are embarrassed to be useful, so you don't need to. You don't even have this bit of self-knowledge, I heard that since the destruction of the Su people, the county soldiers have not practiced once, chatting and eating in the camp all day long and waiting for death, this is the atmosphere in your bones? ”

When he said these words, Fang Xie used his internal strength, and although the voice was not loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"I thought it would be better to die fewer people after all, and human life is more important than mountains, but you have made yourself lighter, lighter than feathers, cheaper than grass mustard."

He looked at the hundreds of officers kneeling at the front below, and the chill in his eyes made them all smell death.

"From today onwards, you are no longer the county soldiers of the provinces."

Fang Xie said loudly: "You don't have to think that you can go home as soon as possible if you break the people, because this battle is far from over." If you still have some blood in your bones, you should understand what the attitude of the Sui people has always been towards foreign enemies. ”

He raised his voice a little: "Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, I have always been allowed to fight out, and no one is allowed to come in. If someone dares to come in, then double the fight back. In the land of Nanyan, how many people were slaughtered? How many houses were burned? As a soldier, how can you still be in the mood to drink and have fun? ”

"Which of you drank last night?"

Fang Xie looked at the hundreds of officers and asked.

No one dared to answer.

"Pry open your mouth and bring up all the people who drank last night and behead them."

Fang Xie saw that no one spoke, and then said: "I don't even dare to admit that I drank alcohol, you don't have the arrogance and blood of a soldier!" ”

In a short time, dozens of officers who still smelled of wine in their mouths were brought out, and in a wail, dozens of heads fell to the ground.

"General!"

At this moment, a sturdy man struggled to break away from the hand of the cavalry school and stood up and said loudly: "The general is right, we people really don't look like soldiers!" But has the general thought about it, we are trembling here, no one can see clearly what our fate is, who is still worried about training? Those of them who have drunk alcohol are not necessarily bloodless, but they don't know what to do and what they can do, so they will be drunk and dream of death! General, we are wrong, but please give us a chance to correct it! ”

"What's your name?"

Fang asked.

"The end will be from the fifth grade, don't be Du Chun!"

"Du Chun, let me ask you."

Fang Xie looked at him and asked, "I'll give you a chance to correct now, but on the battlefield, will the enemy give you a chance to make amends?" ”

Du Chun was slightly stunned, and then took a deep breath: "General, then I will die?!" ”

"Yes"

Fang Xie nodded: "A soldier made a mistake, and it was he who died." One captain made a mistake, and five people died. One team is making a mistake, and fifty people are dead. If a brigade makes a mistake, a hundred people die! From today on, these soldiers are the soldiers of my Black Flag Army, you are incompetent, do I still want to keep you and take them to death? ”

Du Chun was silent for a while, raised his head and said loudly: "Please give me a decent way to die, General." ”

"Say!"

Fang explained.

"The general wants to cut down Nanyan? Beat the people? ”

"Yes"

"I want to be a dead soldier!"

Du Chun said: "Ask the general to let me die on the battlefield, not in front of my subordinates!" The man is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of a disgraceful death. None of these men around me are of a bad breed. The general wants to kill us anyway, so it's better to give us a chance to die with the enemy! ”

Fang Xie was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, you hundreds of people will be the Dead Soldiers Battalion from today onwards, and when I move my army south, you will be the vanguard army." I give you a guarantee, if the enemy breaks ten without killing people in three battles, I will spare you and reactivate! ”

The one who rushed to the front, three battles without dying?

The people below all understand that this is almost impossible. These hundreds of them rushed forward at the front, and they had to survive three battles...... I don't think anyone can do it. Fang Xie gave this order just to fulfill Du Chun and give them a decent death.

……

……

Less than two miles outside the county soldiers' camp, there is a swallow tower that is famous in Yongzhou and even famous in the entire Pingshang Road. The signboard of the Swallow Tower has been hanging for hundreds of years and is famous.

On the third floor, there are two people standing against the railing, looking into the distance.

Fang Xie took a puff of his pipe and let out a thick puff of smoke.

He pointed to the county soldier camp below, smiled at the big dog next to him who was a little distracted on the guardrail on the third floor, and asked, "Do you know how many kinds of courage there are?" ”

The big dog was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said he didn't know.

"To have the courage to snatch something in the hands of an old and weak woman or child is to be a scoundrel. Those who have the courage to rob the gold, silver and jewelry of a large mansion are mountain bandits and horse thieves. If you have the courage to rob the money, grain, and treasury of a county or a big city, it is for a giant coward. has the courage to grab a piece of the country, it is for the heroes. ”

He pointed to the training soldiers and said, "There are hundreds of dead soldiers and 30,000 strong soldiers there. ”

He pointed to the Black Flag Army camp in the distance: "There are still tens of thousands of elite horsemen there. ”

Then he looked at the big dog: "I'll help you get back a piece of the country, do you have the courage to be a hero?" ”
