Chapter 70: Fifty-six Slashes

Ordered Mu Yunmo to take a seat.

Yang Tingfeng went straight to the point and said: "Uncle Yun, this captain, is planning to rob the merchants of the Western Regions, you have lived in the Western Camp for a long time and are familiar with the local people, can you have a suitable caravan to rob?" ”

Hearing this, Na Yun Mo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly got up, wanting to retreat, but was grabbed by Lao Liangtou and Chen Liang, and couldn't move.

Xiao Wolf had already stood up, with a knife in his hand, put down the curtain of the Chinese army's tent, and squatted at the door.

Shi Wansui turned his face black, pressed the saber on his waist, stepped forward, stood behind Mu Yunmo, and made a gesture of drawing the knife and slashing.

Seeing this scene, Mu Yunmo's scalp was numb for a while, and he turned his gaze, but when he saw Yang Tingfeng's face, he neither spoke nor stopped.

It dawned on him that the new lieutenant had deliberately wanted to bring him into the gang

He also knew that if he didn't agree today, it would be difficult to die well......

Thinking of this, Mu Yunmo didn't feel that cold sweat broke out on his back, wetting his underwear, but he still wanted to pretend to be stupid and see if he could get through the trick.

Seeing him, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, crossed his hands and flattened his chest, and gave Yang Tingfeng a humble salute and said, "Captain, I don't know what crime you have committed?" ”

Yang Tingfeng stepped forward, swept down coldly, sank his face, scolded angrily, and said, "Why, Mu Yunmo, so fast, you forgot?" ”

Mu Yunmo was stunned for a moment, then blurted out and asked, "I really don't know!" I hope you will show it. ”

"Okay, this lieutenant will remind you!" Yang Tingfeng said loudly:

"The Great Yin Ancestral System, the Border Military Decree, the Purple Stuff Military Regulations, Fifty-six Beheadings!"

"Those who don't hear the drum will be killed, those who will not stop hearing the gold will be killed, those who can't raise the flag will be killed, and those who can't be subdued by the flag will be killed!"

"Those who should not be called, those who do not arrive at the time are cut, those who do not meet the deadline are cut, and those who change the law are cut!"

"Those who fight in the night are killed, those who are sluggish and do not report are killed, those who violate the rules are killed, and those who have an unknown voice are killed!"

"Those who complain more will be beheaded, those who are angry with their main generals will be beheaded, those who do not listen to restraint will be beheaded, and those who are more difficult to control will be beheaded!"

"Those who raise their voices and laugh will be beheaded, those who defy the ban will be beheaded, those who gallop through the army will be beheaded, and those who disobey orders will be beheaded!"

"Those who have bows and crossbows are cut off, those who have no arrows and feathers are killed, those who are unfavorable with swords and halberds are killed, and those who have withered flags are killed!"

"Those who rumor and sophistry will be killed, those who fabricate ghosts and gods will be killed, those who pretend to dream will be killed, and those who bewitch the sergeants will be killed!"

"Those with good tongues and sharp teeth will be beheaded, those who act in vain will be beheaded, those who transfer sergeants will be beheaded, and those who make them discordant be beheaded!"

"Whoever abuses his people will be beheaded, and he who kills good people will be beheaded! Those who persecute the women of the people are beheaded, and those who commit adultery with widows are beheaded! ”

"Those who gather to discuss matters will be beheaded, those who enter the tent privately will be beheaded, those who listen to military aircraft will be beheaded, and those who leak outside will be beheaded!"

"Those who go out of the ranks are killed, those who cross the front are cut off, those who are noisy are cut, and those who do not obey the forbidden training are cut!"

"Kill the sick with the wounded, cut off the one who avoids the expedition, pinch the wound and fake the dead, and thus cut the evader!"

"Those who do not judge will be killed, those who will be unknown will be killed, those who will say more will be killed, and those who will say more will be killed!"

"Those who cower in battle, those who fail to rescue are killed, those who take the head of people are killed, and those who do not arrive at the end of the day are killed!"

As soon as the fifty-six words "chop" came out, Mu Yunmo's face was like ashes in an instant, if Yang Tingfeng was more serious, he would put on armor and kick Zhang Ying, this group of guys, out of four hundred people, there must be three hundred heads to explain here.

But I heard Yang Tingfeng tell me: "For five days in a row, you and other 300 people should not be able to get out, and they should all be beheaded, thinking that when the war is approaching and the court uses troops, I will pardon you and others." Why, I just violated the military law that the expiration date will not come, and I am ready to disobey the order again? Kill on the spot! ”

Hearing the order, but hearing the sound of "choking", Shi Wansui drew the knife in his hand, and the knife was already on the top of the country.

This sudden and unexpected change made Mu Yunmo stunned, he couldn't have imagined that this new brother would turn his face faster than turning a book!

He raised his eyes and looked: but he saw that in the dim military tent, Lao Liangtou looked solemn, Chen Liang was frightened, Shi Wansui had a knife in his hand, Xiao Wolf slightly lifted the gap in the open cloth, observing the situation outside, only Yang Tingfeng was expressionless, slanted at him, and continued: "This lieutenant knows that you are not from Xianbei soldiers in the six towns, all of you are poor, and you are a 'white captive', your status is not high, it is difficult to enter the office, and even the salary is better than the silver The small number of soldiers born in the towns, coupled with the fact that there are many embezzlers and a large amount of land embezzled, has forced your family to live in the mountains, and they are increasingly impoverished and struggling. I said, right? ”

Mu Yunmo didn't answer, just stared at Yang Tingfeng with his eyes.

"However, as long as you are willing to help me ambush the merchants of the Western Regions, Yang swears here to ensure that you and your people will never worry about food and clothing in the future." Suddenly, Yang Tingfeng was in high spirits and smiled as if he had changed someone.

Before he finished his words, everyone couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and Chen Liang even secretly shouted: "Brother Yang, we can't even pay this salary, why did you still bring in all the people of this white captive?" ”

Chen Liang was thinking about whether he could remind Yang Tingfeng and reconsider the countermeasures.

But at this moment, he heard Mu Yunmo suddenly speak, and his voice was clear and audible: "Azadocht, the orthodox descendant of Darius, the royal family of the Pars Empire in the Western Regions, has a golden mountain and ten silver seas at home!" The Song military quartermaster once consulted the historical materials of the Western Regions, and once drank too much, and bragged to us that his family had no less than 90 million taels of gold in stock! And he remained neutral among the forces in the Western Regions. He trades with various countries, has a large network of contacts, and is also friendly with the monarchs of the Western Regions, and has a powerful private mercenary guardβ€”"

"Okay, Lao Mo, you said so much, his team, will he come to my Zisaixi camp realm?" Before Mu Yunmo finished speaking, Yang Tingfeng interrupted him, with a rare look of ecstasy on his face.

Mu Yunmo sweated and said: "Naturally, I once heard the Song military quartermaster say that this Azadocht only comes to Middle-earth once a year, and in the middle of the year, he will set off from Pars and arrive in the Kushan country, and he will rest for a month to replenish supplies, grain and grass." At the beginning of the year, his camel caravans were able to go to the Zisai market, and exchange spices, glass, and furs for tea, silk, porcelain, etc. Then sell the slaves you bought along the way for silver. On the way, the caravan will pass through a place called Xiliu Ancient City in the middle of the Hexi Corridor. ”

"Xiliu Ancient City?" When Yang Tingfeng heard this, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly turned around to check the military sketch map, and pointed his finger at the dense terrain graphics drawn on the map, the names of various places, and the distribution of water sources...... But there is no place called Xiliu Ancient City.

Yang Tingfeng was surprised: "Strange, how can it not be?" ”

Mu Yunmo whispered: "My lord, this is just a deserted earthen city, and besides, this small country called Xiliu has been extinct for many years. ”

With that, he pointed to a barren sand curtain area on the map.

"Oh! I see, no wonder there is no picture! Yang Tingfeng suddenly realized, and only after a moment did he ask again, "Old Mo, how far is this ancient city from us?" ”

Mu Yunmo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's more than a thousand miles!" ”

Yang Tingfeng listened to it, and laughed unconsciously: "It's not important, what we are doing is a business with no capital, what are you afraid of?" If you don't say anything, you will rob him! ”

"What?" Mu Yunmo blurted out in surprise, "My lord...... Your Excellency, are you really planning to kidnap him? ”

Yang Tingfeng sneered slightly: "How can you not rob it?" This is beyond our territory, even if he is the king of heaven, he has to pay the road money! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed.

Mu Yunmo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, although we are the regular army of the imperial court, but this Azadoht is a descendant of the royal family of Pars, with strong strength and strong financial resources, it is said that the caravan guards around him include the legendary Hidden One from the Mingzun Palace, the elite Praetorian Guards of the Roman Empire, the Eagle of the Old Archers from Egypt, and the super-first-class cavalry of Seleuc...... They are all the top retired mercenaries in the world today, and their skills are amazing. Even, he specially sent people to take a boat to the east to cross the country of the rising sun, and from Emperor Suiko, he hired a team of Gozenhime samurai to open the way for him to go east to Middle-earth. ”

"This rich man's idea is really incredible!" Yang Tingfeng sneered and said disdainfully: "However, since you have become a robber, if you want to do it, you can do a big one, and a small one, we can't look down on it!" ”

Shi Wansui smiled: "Yes, we only do big business, and small business can only maintain daily expenses!" ”

instructed everyone to talk about it, but Yun Mo was uncertain and frowned.

Yang Tingfeng stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "In this battle, we are robbing, and it is not suitable to fight for a long time. I would like to make a slight modification to the plan, and re-select the fifty men who are good at shooting, and these fifty must be the fifty who are the most powerful and shoot the farthest, and everyone must be able to ride and shoot. In this first round of salvo raids, you have to kill half of the people on the opposite side! ”

When Xiao Wolf heard this, he said, "Brother Yang, what do you mean, do you mean that all the people ride the archers?" ”

Yang Tingfeng bowed his head and said: "Not only that, these fifty people also have to carry two bows and four arrows, use a riding bow for getting on the horse, and use a walking bow for stationing on the horse." Both a horse archer and a foot archer! ”

Xiao Wolf Qi said: "Why is this? ”

Yang Tingfeng said: "Brother Xiao, the arrows used in this horse bow and the foot bow are not the same, generally speaking, the arrows used in the foot bow are longer and harder, of course, it also needs more pulling force to pull it apart, naturally, this range is also longer." The riding bow is because the archer has to shoot arrows with the help of stirrups on the horse, and the bumps on the horse will lead to a decrease in shooting accuracy and awkward posture, which limits the use of a large tensile bow, so it is generally shorter than the design of the foot bow, and the pull force is relatively weaker, and the range is also closer. ”

Xiao Wolf touched the stubble on his chin and nodded.

Lao Liang pondered slightly, and also said: "Thunder Wind, can you only release arrows from afar?" ”

Yang Tingfeng said: "Yes, you can only release arrows, and after shooting a wave, you have to retreat with all your staff, and try not to let the enemy shooters have the opportunity to aim at us and avoid a stalemate in shooting." Also, once we find a large number of foot archers in the enemy's line, we have to move further away from their large forces and attack them with projectiles. ”

He spoke eloquently and patiently explained, and everyone listened, but they were still ambiguous and a little confused.

At this time, Chen Liang suddenly said: "Brother Yang, since the surprise attack is so troublesome, why don't we ambush them in advance and attack them in close combat?" ”

Yang Tingfeng shook his head: "Impossible, let's not talk about whether the melee can fight the other side, near the ancient city of Xiliu, there is a salt flat, there is no grass and trees, and it is open and uncovered, but how many people can successfully ambush without being detected by the caravan?" Moreover, a caravan of this size must also have scouts, so an ambush is simply impossible! Only raids. ”
