Chapter 24: Sin

Just as the rout soldiers were rushing like galloping horses in the camp, the cries shook the sky.

The ground suddenly collapsed in many places, revealing huge holes.

"Soldiers who can't resist the enemy, quickly enter the tunnel and evacuate, there must be no mistake!" such a shout sounded in many directions at the same time.

"Hall Master Su had already anticipated that the camp might be robbed, and he had already built tunnels in the camp in all directions, so there was no need to panic!" someone shouted again.

It had been encamped for many days, and the militia was sufficient, enough to make these arrangements.

Seeing this, the eyes of the defeated soldiers lit up, and they rushed into the tunnel entrance one after another.

And the Three Rivers Army are all cavalry, and it is impossible to chase them into the tunnels. If you go in, the camp will lose its meaning, and you will be surrounded and killed in it.

For a while, the morale of the Shentang army was slightly boosted.

However, countermeasures could hardly completely neutralize the effect of the strategy, and some soldiers crowded the tunnel entrance and killed each other. Some of the defeated soldiers were completely frightened and could not comprehend their intentions, and they were still driven by the cavalry of the Three Rivers and rushed through the camp.

A roar rang out like thunder.

"The military order is like a mountain, and if there are those who collide with their own army, kill! Those who show mercy to their subordinates will not be spared by the supervising team!"

Su Mengzhen, who has always loved soldiers like a son, actually uttered such cruel words.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the loud roar still seemed incomparably clear, and the agitation spread throughout the small half of the military camp.

Su Mengzhen had already spoken, and the soldiers didn't dare to show mercy to their subordinates. The crossbow shot relentless arrows, shooting the routed soldiers who could not evacuate in time into a sieve one by one, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Zhao Zhonggao's eyes moved slightly.

Then he waved his hand and said: "No need to attack the sides anymore, go straight to the Chinese army." ”

The best case scenario is to behead Su Mengzhen with one blow, even if it can't, as long as it causes great damage, and it is not repulsed until Li Zhong's large army arrives, it can lead to the collapse of the entire Shentang army.

At that time, the layers of defensive facilities would instead become an obstacle to the escape of the Shentang army, and the Shentang army would suffer more heavy losses than the first battle of Hanshui, and it may not be able to recover for decades.

The knights gathered together and continued to charge into the depths of the camp.

A total of 200 heavy cavalry and 500 light cavalry, a total of 700 soldiers, smashed the middle army of the Shentang Army.

Originally, in the face of the strong camp and the well-trained spear and shield array of the Shentang Army, this cavalry was really not enough to stuff the teeth. But now that the morale of the Shentang army is low, and after the Blood Slaughter Battalion was reorganized into heavy cavalry, the combat effectiveness is unimaginably high, which has caused such an effect of collapse all the way.

Most of the soldiers had not personally experienced the battle when the heavy infantry of the 200 Blood Slaughter Battalion defeated Su Mengzhen's 3,000 men twenty years ago, but most of them knew about it.

And now, they really realized how terrible the Bloodslaughter Camp was, like the bloodthirsty Shura who had returned from hell - everywhere he passed, thousands of armies were stained with blood!

The knights were so shocked that they tore apart the antlers of the horse and soon approached the fourth gate.

The sun gradually rose, illuminating their figures more and more vividly, and the blood shimmered and scorched the eyeballs.

And wherever they passed, there was also a terrible river of blood.

The Three Rivers Knights of the Wild Goose Formation shrank and turned into a sharp arrow formation, stabbing towards the fourth camp gate like a sharp split. Once breached, the Chinese tent of the Shentang Army would be exposed to the attack of the Three Rivers Cavalry.

The defenders at the gate were still vulnerable and crushed with a single blow.

Zhao Zhonggao's pupils contracted suddenly.

He sensed the murderous aura and waved his hand suddenly, signaling everyone to be vigilant.

Twenty years ago, seventeen-year-old Zhao Zhonggao fought with his father under Li Qing, and personally participated in the battle in which the two hundred armor soldiers of the Blood Killing Battalion broke through Su Mengzhen's 3,000 people, and also witnessed the defeat of the Blood Killing Camp by Su Youguang's surprise attack by Su Mengzhen, and the heroic sacrifice of his father.

For murderous aura, Zhao Zhonggao has an extremely keen intuition.

In the midst of the panic, I saw a team of soldiers holding halberds and calling the crowd out.

Their armor was not glamorous, and many had wounds on their faces, some with gray hair, others with sickly faces.

However, the halberd in everyone's hand was made of stainless steel, not a single piece of wood.

The heavy armor they wore seemed to be no lighter than the armor of the Three Rivers Armor Riders.

And as they went forward in parallel, the earth trembled. The weight of three or four hundred catties on their bodies does not make them move sluggishly.

This group of halberds is undoubtedly the trump card unit that Su Mengzhen used to fight against the cavalry.

But the most striking thing is their left cheek.

In the same place, everyone has a large, striking letter written in ink on their faces.

"Sin"!

Like a stabbed criminal, write the word stab. But the tattoo only stays on the surface of the skin, and it is also proven to be washed.

But it's enough to be shocking.

The steel halberds fell one after another, like mountains and ravines.

Many of the rout soldiers who rushed in front of them were dropped by the halberds, and they were all assassinated in an orderly manner, and blood flowed all over the ground.

And Su Mengzhen, the hall master in green clothes, also stood with his hands in his hands, his attitude fluttering, and he fell in the middle of the formation, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"I haven't seen you for twenty years, and the young man Zhao has become Elder Zhao. Su Mengzhen said leisurely.

Zhao Zhonggao said calmly: "The revenge of killing my father, I dare not forget it for a moment. ”

However, he didn't see the slightest hatred in his eyes, and he just expressed it plainly.

"Fabulous. Su Mengzhen's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Let's see the real chapter." ”

Zhao Zhonggao waved his hand resolutely, and the heavy cavalry, which was covered in blood and stained red by the enemy's blood, was already surging on the halberd line.

After all, the infantry could hardly resist the cavalry, even the heavily armored halberders. In addition, the enemy broke several doors in a row, and the fighting spirit became more and more low, and the first impact, the halberd front seemed a little shaky.

Lin Xiuzhen on the side showed fear in her eyes.

Su Mengzhen slashed his fingers in the air, his movements were sharp, he glanced at the soldiers, and asked, "What is the crime?"

His voice roared like thunder: "It is a sin to be cowardly in the face of the enemy, it is a sin to listen to rumors, but it is even more sin to kill your comrades! Your sin can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy!"

Su Mengzhen pointed to a military commander, and shouted: "Greedy for people's wealth, it's a crime!"

Then he pointed to another man: "It is a sin to commit adultery with a woman!"

"It's a sin to run away from battle!"

"Sin for scorn, sir!"

Every time Su Mengzhen shouted angrily, a burst of thunder rolled up on the flat ground, but the people who were reprimanded by him showed a strong murderous aura in their eyes, not angry, but surging murderous aura towards the enemy.

"Look around you and think about your own face!"

"In this battle, if anyone takes a step back, this sin will remain on his cheek forever!"

Su Mengzhen's eyes were like ice blades and snow swords, piercing the heart of every soldier: "What is the seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four slashes?"

The soldiers responded in unison, and the sound was rolling, and they were connected to the sky: "Hearing the drum does not enter, smelling the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, this is called a rebellion, and the offender is beheaded!"

"You shouldn't call your name, you can't do it at the right time, you won't be able to violate the deadline, change the law of the division, this is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded!"

"Wherever he goes, he abuses his people, and if he persecutes a woman, it is called an adulterer, and the offender is beheaded......"

While shouting, everyone showed a look of shame on their faces, but the murderous aura and momentum became more and more intense, which would make the blazing sun lose its color.

Su Mengzhen nodded heavily, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he broke through the haze of thousands of miles: "There is a miasma of black smoke, and there will be eleven punishments of whipping! You are all sinners, and your hands are stained with the blood of your comrades." Use the enemy's head to clear your sins and the shame of twenty years ago! The destruction of the bloody camp is now!"

As he spoke, spearmen, shield soldiers, and crossbowmen gathered together to form a complete composite formation, and everyone who came over had a face like this group of halberders, with eye-catching words written on their faces!

Many pikemen were armed with barbed hook scythes, apparently to protect against cavalry onslaught.

Zhao Zhonggao completely understood.

Su Mengzhen did not kill people indiscriminately.

And what he did was one of the most terrible punishments, the law of eleven beatings.

For troops with serious depravity in military discipline, one out of ten people was drawn by lot, and the remaining nine were beaten to death with sticks.

This practice will cause great damage to the morale of the army, and it will lose one-tenth of the elite soldiers before the battle, and those who have made a great decision cannot do it.

How cruel and terrible psychological torture should it be to kill a comrade-in-arms who may have saved his own life, and to kill a comrade who is as close as wearing a pair of pants? Even if he survives the next vicious battle, when he dreams back at midnight, he will probably be haunted by nightmares and cannot forgive himself!

However, in the short term, the eleventh smash law can make the soldiers fear the main general far more than the enemy, and because of the blood of their comrades, they have an indomitable murderous spirit.

Li Xun asked Shi Shuzheng and the others to make a mess of the military discipline of the Shentang Army, just so that Su Mengzhen could implement this terrible eleven smash law.

The reason why the bloody slaughter camp was able to successfully break through several camp gates in a row was precisely to make these guilty soldiers have no way to retreat, and they fought against the water, so that the knights of the Three Rivers were deeply encircled and difficult to get out.

The purpose of this bureau is to kill the bloody camp and the elite cavalry of Sanhe in one net!

"It's a generation of madness. Zhao Zhonggao sighed.

However, Ye Luo, the deputy commander of the Blood Killing Battalion, added: "Su Mengzhen, you have always liked to gamble. But you shouldn't have gambled this time, you still underestimated us. ”

"Take off your head, right now. ”
