115 Whipping

Morale is really a wonderful thing, and the people of Leria were not afraid of arrows from the city, nor were they afraid of the spells of those who were able, and they were fearless in the face of death, and they resisted the attack of the Jeruts with great difficulty. But the next moment, Rossi climbed the wall and defended three landing points, and the morale of the Lerians slipped to freezing point in an instant, and they collapsed directly. The Leriates, who were still galloping towards the city walls, turned around and ran, whether they could get out or not, and got out of here first.

More and more Yeruts climbed the top of the wall, clearing the city gates from top to bottom, opening the last line of defense of the city of Leria, and nearly 10,000 Yeluts poured directly into the brand-new city, which was less than half a year old.

The layout of the city is very elegant, in the shape of a field, the roads are clean and wide, and it seems that a lot of thought has been put into planning the city. Unfortunately, the hard labor of the past has turned into flowing water, and this place will inevitably become the past of the people of Leria.

Siege warfare turned into street fighting, and with low morale, some of the Lerea had given up their resistance. The reason why they exist in this city is to stop the Yerutian attack and exert their last bit of heat, and to say that it is unpleasant, they are abandoned. The young, able-bodied warriors had left the city and blended into the jungle, leaving only the old and sick, and some of the Leriathians who did not want to leave.

They were abandoned without hesitation.

Naturally, after the breakdown, there was not much desire to resist either.

This is also one of the characteristics of this world, the wars between city-states in the past and the wars between countries now, once one side wins, it does not hunt and kill the enemy too much. Because these people will be one of the most important human resources - slaves.

Slaves themselves meant scarce special wealth, and Jeruth was extremely important at this time. Eventually, these people would be sent to concentration camps where they would be properly tamed, and those who were truly obedient would become real slaves and sent to places where they were needed, such as mines, army death camps, or jobs that no one wanted to do. As for those who are unwilling to submit, who are unwilling, and who still have a sense of rebellion, they will become one of the special forces of Jeruth, the rations of the siege monsters.

So once these Lerea people surrender on their knees, it means that the war is far away from them.

The team from outside the city entered the city, and when everyone had stabilized, some people had already faintly noticed that something was wrong.

What's wrong? The number of people is wrong!

Excluding the dead and wounded, there should be at least 12,000 or so, but here is full of 8,000 people.

People are this thing, it's okay when it's less, but once it's over a thousand, it's really hard to see more or less.

The bald head sat in the fine town hall and laughed, he was very satisfied with the result of the day, and it only took one morning to defeat the city of Leria. Of course, there are tricks and surprises in this, after all, the main force of the Leria people has left the city. But even if they are not there, a city is a city after all, and no one can erase this level of military exploits. The bald head also breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flashed, and after glancing at Rosie, he said loudly: "What the **** said a few times ago, I won't forget ......"

He paused, slowly removed his armor, and many generals were startled and stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my responsibility to misjudge the form, delay the warplane, and cause the loss of the troops. What about the executive? ”

A soldier pursed his thin lips and stood out with a serious expression, his bald eyes with only infinite respect. He read aloud the final resolution, sentencing him to death by burning and caning.

Burning is the most common criminal law in the military, and it can be said to be the most serious criminal law after hanging and beheading. Because the burn will leave a permanent scar, this shame-like scar will never fade, and will follow the soldier for the rest of his life until death.

In addition to this, most of the people who have a brand on their bodies are slaves and livestock, and a general who is branded will be a stain on his life.

Whipping was relatively common, and everyone who was whipped was whipped, from the commander to the farmer.

When the executive officer's resolution was read out, someone jumped out and shouted no. However, the bald head waved his hand, "I have made it impossible for at least 4,000 elite soldiers to never go to battle again, not because they were wounded or killed when they fought bravely with the enemy in battle, but because of my stupidity, they died on the march." I will always remember this lesson, and you don't need to say it, prepare for execution!"

Everyone's lips moved, and finally they all stood aside silently.

Hearing that the bald head was going to be tortured, almost all the soldiers who could come came, and they were crowded together around the town hall, and the bald head stood on the steps of the town hall, shirtless, with a soldering iron in the brazier beside him. The solder resembles the reverse treble symbol in the staff, and at the top is a spear, which is the emblem of Jelut. The executive looked at the bald head with a serious and divine expression.

"Come on!", said the bald man with a smile, and he tensed the muscles of his body, and the muscles twisted and twisted one by one, and finally turned into sculptural lines full of beauty.

The entire square outside the city hall was dead silent, even the sound of breathing was held at this moment, everyone looked at the figure, and something inexplicable grew in their hearts. This thing moves them, makes them respect, and makes them worship!

The executive picked up the soldering iron, hesitated for a moment, and finally poked it hard at the bald arm.

The sound was accompanied by a burst of white smoke, the corners of the bald head's eyes twitched violently, and a layer of oil sweat secreted from all over his body. His face turned slightly pale, and it was evident that he had suffered a great deal of pain.

Knife wounds, sword wounds, and the pain caused by injuries caused by this kind of soldering iron are completely different, and it is difficult to perceive the pain of this tear in the first place because of the high concentration of attention. The pain begins to develop slowly after the mind is relaxed, but at this time, it is not too painful because of the necrosis of the fibers and peripheral nerves.

But at this time, the burning was different, because the bald head's attention was focused on this soldering iron, so the pain came extremely violently. Coupled with the special nature of the scald, the pain spread and amplified, which made him sweat all over.

After a few moments, the executive pulled the iron away, and some of the blackened skin tissue stuck to the iron was removed along with it, revealing the whitish muscles. The muscle quickly becomes bright red due to congestion, and within a maximum of two or three days, when the edema dissipates, a deep scar appears, which is finally filled with scar tissue and bulges out. [I have twenty-two cigarette scars on my arms, and I look sick for a few days after the scalding. 】

Then someone brought out a long plate filled with salt water and a specially treated rattan. The soldiers are a group of people with rough skin and thick flesh, and ordinary whips will hurt when they are drawn, and they will not work. In the army, flogging is the most common punishment, so the whip in the army is not the same as the whip outside. The whip is made from a bamboo-like plant that splits the hard, yet resilient wood into strips that are one finger wide, two meters long, and about half a finger thick. When making, you need to cut out the edges and corners, weave them together with a dozen or so roots, soak them in animal oil for three days, and then put them in a cool place to dry naturally.

Then pick out the ones that are not deformed, and expose them to the scorching sun, at which point these rattans will begin to shrink and twist, and the edges will be the same to the outside. Then put the rattan into the concentrated salt water to soak, dry, and repeat until the final selection has toughness, tightness, and no deformation is considered to be complete.

Usually these whips will be wrapped in oilcloth to prevent deformation due to resurgence. When used, it will be stained with concentrated salt water, and it will be dried and stored immediately after use. The reason why it was necessary to soak in concentrated salt water was, on the one hand, to increase the pain and make it firmly remembered by the soldiers. On the other hand, it is also for disinfection, concentrated salt water can effectively kill some relatively common bacteria and avoid wound infection.

The executive lifted the rattan and pulled it down hard, and the whole rattan completed a circular arc, whining with a wind whistle, and then slammed it on the bald man's back.

There was a snap, and the whole front of the town hall was alarmed.

The bald head frowned, and gasped, "Come again!"

On the bald and clean back, there was an instant blood mark, this blood mark was three fingers wide, there were many blood lines hidden in the blood red, the epidermis was slightly turned outward, and the blood beads immediately overflowed.
