Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mighty with Swords and Axes
The camp of the "evil" battalion was set up in a corner of the camp in the south of the city, a stone's throw away from the other camps belonging to the same army. Look at the posture between each other, there is quite a taste of "the voice of chickens and dogs smell each other, and the old and die do not get along".
Li Jing held Wen Zhong's warrant, first met Xiang Kun, the chief general of the Nanda Battalion, to explain the situation, and received the roster of the "sin" word camp, and then under Xiang Kun's sympathetic gaze, he took Yin Rui and the Fang brothers to the camp of the "sin" word camp.
Passing through the half-concealed and half-closed gate of the camp, which was guarded by no one at all, Li Jing and the four of them drove straight into the training ground in the hinterland of the camp with the word "sin." There was no one patrolling, still less anyone conducting daily training, but there were bursts of laughter and noise coming from inside the tents.
"The people in the 'evil' camp are usually so casual?" Li Jing asked Yin Rui beside him.
Yin Po replied: "Because it is too difficult to manage, the battalion of the word 'sin' has never set up a captain, and it is only commanded when the war is about to be made. Since there are no managers, they are naturally scattered on weekdays. β
"Something interesting. Li Jing smiled and nodded, turned over and dismounted, walked to the war drum in the training ground, which was covered with a thick layer of dust, stretched out his hand to brush the dust off the drum, picked up the two drumsticks on the wooden frame next to him, and beat the drum with his arms in turn.
The slow and rapid sound of drums thundered like thunder, and in an instant it spread throughout the barracks. According to the military law of the Great Shang, the sergeants in the battalion must be moved by the drums, and they must assemble within the sound of the drums of the three links, and those who do not arrive in the event of a delay will not be forgiven. However, under normal circumstances, if you want to beat the drums, you will inform the whole camp in advance so that everyone can be prepared. Like Li Jing's silent and sudden beating of the drum of troops, it usually only appears when there is an emergency situation.
There was a commotion in the camp with the word "evil", scolding in the various tents, and groups of soldiers in disheveled clothes and armor swarmed out. However, although these soldiers moved in a hurry, each of them had a weapon in his hand. After the first war drum was beaten, the second war drum was raised, and the soldiers in the battalion with the word "sin" were basically assembled. However, they did not line up like ordinary armies, but were automatically divided into small groups of more than 10 or 10 people, scattered unevenly on the training ground.
After these people arrived, the first thing they saw was naturally the Fang brothers who were two feet three or four tall and holding a bronze dragon pillar in their arms, and after being taken aback, they saw Li Jing who was still playing the hammer and drumming.
"Boy, who are you? How dare you beat the drum of the army!" asked a big man in the nearest group of people in the team's upright clothes.
Li Jing didn't answer, he didn't stop the drumstick in his hand until he finished beating the three-way drum, turned around and glanced around, took out Wen Zhong's arrow from his arms, held it high above the top, and said in a loud voice: "I, Li Jing, now in accordance with the will of His Majesty and the military order of Wen Taishi, I want to recruit all of your 'evil' battalion to exterminate a group of mountain bandits. You wait to stand still, and I will check the number. Yin is ruined, let's start!"
"Wow!" Yin Rui agreed, holding the roster of the camp with the word "sin" in his hand, counting the number of people according to the name. He has been in the army for a long time, and he has done all these things well, and he has completed the investigation in less than a stick of incense, and turned back to Li Jing and replied: "Yu Gongzi, the five hundred people in the 'evil' word camp are actually four hundred and ninety-six, and a total of four people and three drums have not arrived!"
"If I am not mistaken," Li Jing's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently, "Today is not a ten-day rest period, according to military regulations, all sergeants should stay in the barracks and not go out." So who can tell SΓΉ himself where the four soldiers went?"
"This Li Gongzi," Fang Cai's outspoken team was stepping forward to reply, but there was still a casual look on his face, "Those four people are all brothers in my team, and three of them are unwell, and the military doctors in the camp have always been lazy to get our 'sin' camp, so they took leave to go to the city to find another medical center to seek medicine." When I heard the drums, I sent another man to find them and returned. β
"Well, that's reasonable. Li Jing nodded lightly, but said more.
After a short time, I saw four people running in from outside the camp gate panting. The team pretended to be angry and shouted, "Why are you four so slow, why don't you come and ask this Li Gongzi for guilt!"
The four of them hurriedly ran to Li Jing's side, Li Jing asked from afar with a strong smell of wine, and when he saw three of them with red faces and vain steps, he already understood a little in his heart, and without waiting for them to speak, he asked with a smile: "Why is there still wine sold in that medical hall?"
The three who had obviously drunk a lot of wine were stammering for a while, not knowing how to answer, but the other one was very clever, and rushed forward and replied with a smile: "It is indeed the three brothers who are not right, and after going to the hospital for diagnosis, they were unable to bear the addiction to alcohol for a while, so they bought two bowls of wine to eat." β
Li Jing's face sank slightly, and he asked again: "Let's not mention the matter of drinking, these three people went to seek medical advice, but they didn't know which medical center they went to? Lang Zhong can diagnose what disease they are suffering from, and what prescriptions and medicines are prescribed?"
"This ......" Where did the man think that Li Jing asked so carefully, and he couldn't say anything.
"That's it, since you want to tear your face, don't blame our brothers for not giving you face!" The three sergeants were very impatient when they saw Li Jing getting to the bottom of it, and they pressed forward with a little bit of alcohol, and one of them stared at him with wide eyes and shouted, "Boy, it seems that you don't know the rules here." Our 'evil' word camp is not someone who can come to shout and drink based on their status. Yes, the three of us went out of the camp to drink in violation of military regulations. So what? If you have the guts, even if you take a knife and cut off the three of us, if you don't have the guts, quickly put away this face that is neither yin nor yang!"
Li Jing didn't make a fuss, and asked lightly: "So, do you admit that the reason why you can't get three drums is because you left the barracks privately?"
The sergeant slammed his neck and said, "What?"
Li Jing's eyes flashed with coldness, and with a backhand move behind him, the long knife hanging on the side of the black flame horse saddle outside the Zhang Xu was automatically unsheathed, as if it was pulled by an invisible rope and flew into his palm, and in a flash of the knife, the heads of the three sergeants fell off their necks and flew up at the same time. Because this knife was lightning fast, so that when the head was cut off, the faces of the three people still retained a heavy look of shock and fear.
The long knife hung obliquely, blood rolled from drips to the ground, and the blade instantly returned to smoothness, without any blood stains. Li Jing looked at the three corpses that were slowly dumped, and sneered: "If you leave the barracks privately, you will be guilty of one crime, and if you can't get three drums, you will be guilty of the second." Now that you are happy to admit it, you should die without complaint!"
"Surnamed Li, you dare to kill my brother!" the team was furious, reaching out to touch the hilt of the knife at his waist.
"Who dares to be presumptuous!" Fang Bi and Fang Xiang, who had been instructed by Li Jing in advance, jumped out left and right, holding the bronze dragon pillar in their hands and shouting in unison, lifting the two bronze pillars high above the top and smashing them down with all their might, but the target was the ground under their feet.
"Boom, boom!" The two loud noises before and after shook everyone's ears. With the smoke and dust rising into the sky and the sand and stones flying everywhere, there was a fluctuation visible to the naked eye on the ground within a radius of 100 steps, and the sergeants of the "sin" battalion around them all staggered to and from side with an unstable footing.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the sight made all the sergeants of the "sin" battalion who had finally regained their footing stunned. Under the blow of the bronze pillar of the Fang brothers, two long ditches with a width of five feet and a depth of three feet appeared on the ground, extending a distance of more than ten zhang.
