Chapter 100: Killing to Stop the Assassination
Tired! Tired!
Li Erniu slowly withdrew his waist knife, looking at the corpses around him, with a helpless look on his face.
Just this morning, someone in his city launched a sneak attack on the soldiers of the expeditionary force for ten Kashapana.
Although in the end they did not succeed, and the people who were attacked were only slightly wounded, the entire expeditionary force was furious.
Facing these sneak attacks every day has made their spirits tense to the extreme, and now they are here again, coupled with the military order issued by King Yun a few days ago.
The expeditionary force was completely furious, and the massacre of the city officially began!
From morning to night, the hands of the two thousand soldiers of the First Army were weak.
That's what cleaned up the city.
Even a dog was killed by the soldiers of the First Army who killed the red-eyed.
In this way, the officers and men of the First Army, who had been tense and tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And this is not just an isolated case.
In the garrison of the first army less than a hundred miles, in another city.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force, who also had an expeditionary force, were attacked, but they did not start to slaughter the city, but argued with the first and second leaders.
"No! I disagree! It's too hurtful to do this, it's all ordinary civilians, we can't slaughter the city! ”
"! From the moment one of them took up arms and launched a sneak attack on our fighters, they lost their status as civilians, but enemies!
Deal with the enemy, then you have to kill them all! ”
"You are a crooked reason, I don't agree!"
"You're pedantic! Don't teach them a lesson, they never know to be afraid! ”
"Then you don't have to slaughter the city! Do you know how many people we're going to kill? ”
"Thirty-seven thousand two hundred seventy-four!"
Jiang Zhenliang, the deputy commander of the Seventh Army, was stunned when he heard this, and looked coldly at Liu Guangqian, the commander of the army.
Liu Guangqian saw the meaning in his eyes and smiled slightly: "Are you curious why I know?" ”
Jiang Zhenliang nodded, and Liu Guangqian explained: "The official documents in the city have all been translated, and I know the specific situation of the city from the documents that count the population and taxes. ”
"Then you still ......"
Jiang Zhenliang wondered.
The chuckle on Liu Guangqian's face just now was replaced by a sneer.
"Do you know why so many poisonous civilians are doing it to us these days?"
Jiang Zhenliang, who had not yet received the news, shook his head and said that he did not know.
Liu Guangqian could only explain to him: "A few days ago, the poisonous Nanli Governor's Mansion issued a reward order, exchanging one of our heads for ten silver cards Chapana.
Since the successful exchange of the first person, the entire province of Nanli has been boiling, and we don't know how many brothers did not die on the battlefield, but were killed by those civilians by sneak attacks. ”
"So ......"
Speaking of this, Liu Guangqian took a deep breath.
Then he said with a firm face:
"After the prince's order comes down, once one of them dares to make a move against the soldiers of our expeditionary force, then we will not hesitate to carry out the instructions of the Cloud King to slaughter the city!
Only to kill them is afraid! Kill them until they are terrified! Kill us and never dare to do it again!
Let them know the consequences of doing something to us, and only then can they curb their greedy hearts because of the bounty! ”
Liu Guangqian's words made Jiang Zhenliang silent for a long time.
Liu Guangqian glanced at him and continued:
"The dead are all our fellow brothers who fought side by side, all from Yunzhou County, and their families and children are waiting for them to return."
Liu Guangqian's words were like the last straw that crushed the camel's camel, completely cutting off the last trace of unbearability in Jiang Zheng's conscience.
Yes, these are all their comrades-in-arms.
If it is because of the kindness of his own women that these comrades-in-arms have been killed or wounded, how should he face their families after the war is over?
……
In the end, Jiang Zhenliang agreed to slaughter the city, and on that day, the expressionless guards began to gradually understand the poisonous people in the city from the direction of the city gate.
The cavalry of the Outside the City Association began to patrol the entire city, blocking all the poisonous people who tried to escape from the city.
The sound of slaughter in the city rang out for a whole day and a night, and the whole city was stained red with blood.
The guards dragged their tired bodies back to the camp, plunged into bed and fell asleep.
Since the bounty order was issued, they haven't had a good night's sleep a day.
Now they can finally get a good night's sleep, at least here they don't have to worry about being attacked while they are sleeping, because all the natives have been killed by them.
And the tense spirit for many days is also the reason why the soldiers have no resistance to the slaughter of the city, their spirit has been forced to a critical point, and after the slaughter of the city, their tense spirit for many days finally relaxed completely.
Coincidentally, this was not confined to the territory of the First and Seventh Armies.
A similar situation was encountered in the territory where other expeditionary forces were stationed.
They may or may not agree, but in the end, as soldiers, they still resolutely carry out the orders handed down by the Cloud King, and slaughter the cities that dare to launch a surprise attack on the expeditionary force.
Soon, the news of the expeditionary force's massacre spread throughout Nanli Suba, and the first reaction of the poisonous people after seeing the news was that they couldn't believe it, but then when more and more news came, they had to believe that the news was indeed true.
The barbarians, they've really started slaughtering the city.
The reason was simply that someone in that city had attacked the expeditionary force.
Since then, the cities of Nanri Suba, which are still in the hands of government forces, have been fine, but they have a deeper understanding of the brutality of the barbarians, and they are more afraid of them.
But the cities in the hands of the expeditionary force had a completely different feeling.
They were so frightened that after the expeditionary force had slaughtered the city, they quickly informed the cities under their control and explained the massacre.
If someone in a city dares to assassinate a soldier of the expeditionary force, then the whole city will have to pay the price for his arrogance!
This made all the people in the city under the control of the soldiers of the expeditionary force panic, and everyone was stupid who wanted to assassinate the expeditionary force and let them and others give him a burial.13
Under the pressure of death, many poisonous people who came here secretly from other countries were discovered by the local people before they were discovered by the expeditionary force.
They hung up these damn bastards who wanted to kill them, paraded the streets, and then cut off their heads on the spot.
For their behavior, the officers and men of the expeditionary force neither encouraged nor discouraged them, and let them do it.
Soon, the entire southern border of Nanli Suba became a forbidden place for outsiders.
All the strangers would be arrested and killed as soon as they came, and under such strict defense, no foreigner would be able to infiltrate the territory of the south, and the locals would not do such a fatal thing even if they were thinking about their own lives and the lives of their families.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force were never assassinated again, and the massacre of the city did not continue.
The purpose of deterrence has been achieved.
