Chapter 58: Extorting Confessions by Torture

Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and the lieutenants didn't understand very much, and they seemed to want to know Ma Chao's strategy. Pound looked at Ma Chao, Ma Chao knew that Pound was asking for his opinion, Ma Chao nodded and agreed.

Pang De explained: "The intention of the lord is to ask Han Suijun about the movements of Han Suijun from his mouth. It's convenient, reliable, and fast. ”

The generals suddenly realized and said in unison: "I see, the lord is really a clever plan." ”

So Ma Chao and the generals waited patiently for Ma Dai to come back. A few scouts, using a good general like Ma Dai to arrest them, are actually overkill. Although Han Suijun's scouts were very vigilant, they were tasked with monitoring Ma Chao's military camp, and when they saw Ma Dai coming out of the camp to attack, they did not dare to escape easily, for fear that Ma Chaojun would take the opportunity to slip away from the camp. In such a dilemma, Han Suijun's scouts were very embarrassed, and they were not advancing or retreating. In his hesitation, Ma Dai chased after him and immediately shot several of the scouts. Ma Dai also saw that the armor on one of the scouts was at the level of a military marquis, so he personally shot the military marquis. In order to keep him alive, Ma Dai shot his horse instead of his people, and successfully captured a military marquis.

Since there were 2,000 horsemen, Han Sui's scouts only had a few hundred, and Ma Dai was not afraid that Han Sui's army would counterattack him. Ma Dai ordered someone to bring the marquis on the spot. The military marquis was very strong, his hands were tied behind his back, and the two of them were holding him, and they couldn't hold him down.

The two sergeants pushed the marquis and came to Ma Dai's horse.

"Be honest!" A sergeant shouted, but the marquis was still unconvinced, struggling desperately, and glared at Ma Dai with red eyes. Ma Dai looked at it coldly, it seemed that this military marquis was not so easy to speak.

Ma Dai gave the sergeant a look, and the sergeant understood, and kicked the marquis's leg so hard that the marquis knelt down weakly. He was about to struggle, but the two sergeants pressed him to the ground.

When the military marquis stopped for a while, Ma Dai asked, "Let me ask you, what the hell has Han Sui been doing recently?" What are his plans? ”

The marquis looked angry and said, "I don't know! ”

Ma Dai said: "You are a military marquis, and the official is no longer small. If there is any change in Han Sui, how can you not know? ”

"I don't tell you if I know! You want to ask me about the secrets of the United Generals, you are dreaming! The marquis said viciously.

Ma Dai was a little angry and said "um". The sergeants understood, shook the marquis's big ear scraper, and "snapped", which was extremely loud.

"Then it seems that you do know Han Sui's movements. If you don't say it, I have a way for you to say it. Ma Dai said coldly.

"Hahaha! Lao Tzu is not afraid, you can come! Lao Tzu will never betray the United General! ”

"Call me! Until he speaks! Ma Dai was furious.

The sergeants received the order and immediately stepped forward to punch and kick the marquis. was beaten so badly, but the military marquis endured it to the death, even if it hurt again, he would never scream. In the end, I don't know who was too ruthless, and he actually knocked the military marquis unconscious.

Seeing that the military marquis fainted, Ma Dai regretted it a little. It was not easy for this marquis to be taken prisoner, and if he died, it would be difficult to capture another marquis. Ma Dai's natural way Ma Chao wanted to capture the enemy's intentions, so he wanted to ask for information so that he could prove himself in front of Ma Chao. But now, he doesn't know how to pry open the mouth of this military marquis.

Ma Dai could only order someone to take the military marquis and return to the barracks. After Ma Chao saw this military marquis, he first ordered someone to splash water and wake up the military marquis.

The water was too cold, and the marquis immediately woke up. Ma Chao immediately stepped forward and asked, "What did Han Sui do?" ”

"Oh, don't you think about it." The marquis said weakly.

Ma Chao saw that the military marquis was already covered in bruises, and no matter how severely he tortured, he might not be able to ask for information, and it was very likely that the military marquis would be beaten to death. Ma Chao doesn't want to torture a living person to death, this is not Ma Chao's character; And he didn't want to cut off the source of information, so he could only think of another way to pry open the mouth of this military marquis. Ma Chao thought that this method must not hurt people's lives, but it must be so ruthless that people will collapse.

Later, a punishment that was expressly prohibited by the Geneva Conventions and the U.S. military came to Ma Chao's mind, that is, waterboarding. Because waterboarding does not harm people's lives and can cause people to panic about drowning, it can be called an indispensable medicine for extorting confessions by torture.

Ma Chao immediately ordered the craftsmen in the army to create a long bench, one high and the other low, so that people could put their heads at the low end and their feet on the higher end, which would make it easier for people to breathe and their brains to congestion.

But just when the bench was ready and delivered, Ma Chao's brain went blank: he woke up when he saw the bench, right! Why didn't he think of inventing beds, chairs and stools? The couch is only a bed with four legs, and the chairs and stools are only a few shorter and taller, and the process is as simple as it gets. Ma Chao was full of regret, and hated himself for being so obsessed with marching and fighting that he didn't even invent a bed, chair and stool, which made life extremely inconvenient. Ma Chao decided that when he was more stable, he would hurry up and make these three kinds of utensils!

However, now is not the time to consider inventing living utensils, and it is most important to discover Han Sui's strategic intentions. Ma Chao immediately asked the military marquis to be tied to a bench, with his head down and his feet up.

Seeing that he was tied to a strange thing, the marquis thought that Ma Chao was going to torture him, laughed wildly, and said, "Hahaha! Ma Chao, do you think that you can make Lao Tzu open his mouth with torture? Lao Tzu tells you, to hell with you! ”

Ma Chao said disdainfully: "When you see how powerful I am, you will naturally speak." ”

"Hmph, you underestimate the loyalty of the people of Liangzhou and Qiangzhong to the generals of the United Nations, Lao Tzu will never confide in half a sentence!"

Ma Chao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and commanded the sergeants to waterboard him, saying, "Is it tied up?" ”

"Alright, lord, this guy must not be able to move."

"Come, cover his face with this towel", Ma Chao said as he handed the sergeant a towel, and the sergeant took it and rudely covered the towel for the marquis. The military marquis endured silently and cooperated very much, and it seemed that he didn't care about Ma Chao's punishment at all, which made Ma Chao even more annoyed.

The generals watched from the sidelines, not knowing what Ma Chao was doing. Ma Chao looked at it and said, "Tie the towel again, and tie his head too." Be sure to tie the towel tightly so that his face is not exposed. ”

"Yes."

Seeing that the sergeants were ready, four people held down the bench, and two people tied the face of the military marquis, Ma Chao untied the skin bag around his waist and pulled out the sac plug. All the generals craned their necks, curious about what Ma Chao was going to do.
