Fang Jie sent people back to Zhuqueshan camp to deliver an order for Cui Zhongzhen to lead troops to attack Xinyang City. Dugu Wenxiu, who had negotiated with Jin Shixiong, was reused again, and his position in the Black Banner Army became more and more obvious. And Sun Kaidao, who was entrusted with important tasks by Fang Jie before, disappeared among Fang Jie's various military orders as if he had been forgotten.
After Luo Yao died, Fang Jie asked Xiahou to lead his troops to massacre from the east to the west of Yongzhou City. The cavalry directly broke into the high gates of the rich families and killed everyone they saw. You must know that this kind of massacre is very rare It rarely happened, the Emperor God Bless had slaughtered a few families in Jiangdu for so many years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, but Fang Jie brought blood all the way from Zhuque Mountain to Yongzhou.
After the blood flowed into rivers in Yongzhou City, not only the common people and gentry in the city were frightened, but also the 30,000 county soldiers who followed Fang Jie were also frightened. Originally they thought that Fang Xie's slaughter along the way was enough, but Fang Xie first massacred hundreds of thousands of people outside Yongzhou City and then exterminated all tribes inside the city, hitting their hearts like a heavy hammer.
But no matter how many people were killed, the county soldiers were not touched after all, so the fear was not unbearable. After this incident, it became the talk of the county soldiers after dinner. Of course, no one dared to say it in the open, even those who scolded Fang Jie for being cold-blooded and inhuman were just muttering in a low voice.
But just when they thought that Fang Jie had killed enough, the killing came again.
When it was still dark and the gate of the county soldiers camp hadn't been opened, Fang Xie suddenly arrived, and his subordinate Xiao cavalry school easily climbed over the fence and opened the gate. When the county soldiers on duty heard the sound, a group of hundreds People's Jingqi has rushed in. Before the county soldiers on duty blew their horns to warn them, they were thrown to the ground by Xiaoqi School, gagged, tied up and thrown aside.
Immediately afterwards, about 3,000 cavalry rushed in with the rumbling thunder.
"Blow the horn."
Fang Jie got down from the white lion, quickly walked up to the platform, sat down and gave instructions.
The black boy Yan Kuang took the messenger's horn and blew it, he was full of energy, and the sound of the horn was particularly loud. The sound of the assembled horns matched the length and length, and spread far and wide.
It took a while for the sound of the horn to be heard before someone came tentatively in disheveled clothes to see what happened. When they saw a mass of cavalry on the school field, they were immediately startled. The first people who came here didn't expect Fang Xie to arrive. Some of them didn't wear armor, some didn't hold weapons, and all of them turned pale in fright and ran to stand on the school field. It's just a sparse formation, where there is no serious momentum.
Fang Jie took out his pocket watch and looked at it, frowning slightly.
"Nie Xiaoju, Yan Kuang, the two of you are leading the cavalry school to take down all the officers who are not present at the rank and above. If anyone resists, they will be killed immediately."
"Here!"
Yan Kuang and Nie Xiaoju agreed, and beckoned to lead the brigade Xiaoqi School into the barracks. Not long after, there was the sound of commotion coming out of the barracks.
"Killer!"
There was a panicked roar in the distance, and the person who heard the shout was almost scared out of their wits.
It took a full half an hour before the county soldiers on the school grounds barely assembled. Some of them were sleeping and dead, and they were dragged out of the tent by Xiaoqi School and beaten with sticks, until their skin was torn apart. Some brave rebels were directly chopped to death by random knives. Many officers drank and slept soundly last night, and they were tied up tightly by the wolf-like Xiaoqi school while still in their dreams.
There are 30,000 county soldiers, and there are quite a few officers above the rank and file. From the time the horn was blown to when Fang Xie ordered the capture, Fang Jie waited for almost thirty minutes. Even so, one-fifth of the company's officers arrived at the school within this time. None, the remaining four-fifths of six or seven hundred people were all captured, including the generals of the 30,000 county soldiers.
Nanhui Road, Beihui Road, and Yongbei Road, the leading soldiers of the three counties were tied up and pushed to the bottom of the general platform. When they saw the cold face under the torch, their legs and feet were weak. .
"I gave you twice the time to put on your armor and take out your weapons, and I gave you twice as much time to form a team. Today, I suddenly blew the trumpet and assembled. I thought that at the worst, 50% of the troops would arrive at the school grounds, even if they were not neatly dressed. Tolerance. But in fact, less than one-third of the soldiers arrived at the school field in twice the time, and less than one-fifth of the officers above the ranks arrived."
Fang Jie's voice was a little chilly: "The soldiers on duty at the Yuanmen are sleeping like dead pigs. Thousands of cavalry have already entered, but you are still sleeping soundly! If it's not me who came in, but the enemy, what do you think at this time? Can you win? Let me tell you, if the enemy really arrives, there will be no one standing on the school field at this time, and all of them will be mutilated corpses!!"
"Forgive me, General!"
"Forgive me, General!"
The three men looked at each other, and then all knelt down and begged for mercy. Since they followed Fang Jie all the way south, they had a good grasp of Fang Jie's temperament. They knew that if the young general in front of him really got angry, he would kill people without blinking an eye.
"You are not guilty."
Fang Jie's tone softened a bit, and the three gentlemen immediately kowtowed like garlic: "The general is tolerant!"
"Because you are no longer my soldiers."
Fang Jie waved his hand: "Behead these three people first."
"Fang Jie!"
A general was so frightened that he fell to the ground. After realizing what was happening, he yelled at Fang Jie: "You deliberately wanted to kill us today! Even if I waited right, you would still kill us! If you don't kill us, don't worry. !"
Fang Jie glanced at him and said slowly: "You are wrong. If you are right, I will keep you. You gave me the reason to kill you. There are not so many assumptions in this world."
The Xiaoqi school rushed forward, dragged the three people up and took them to the front of the school grounds, and cut off their heads neatly, without even giving the three people a chance to say a few words. The three heads fell to the ground, and the scene was suddenly silent!
…
…
Fang Jie stood up and walked slowly to the side of Dianjiangtai, and glanced at the silent county soldiers below: "I brought you from the north at the beginning because I wanted you to fulfill the obligations of a soldier. What's the point of joining the army for Jiawei? To fight against Nanyan, our Black Banner Army cavalry will rush back and forth for thousands of miles. To fight against the He people, it depends on our Black Banner Army cavalry going back and forth to fight, can we use you?"
Fang Jie sneered: "I didn't use you because I know that you have been in the army for a short time. You have never been on the battlefield or seen blood. I am afraid that you will suffer heavy casualties. I can't explain to your family. To put it harshly, I know you are too embarrassed to use it, so I don’t need it. You don’t even have this self-knowledge. I heard that since the He people were defeated, the county soldiers have never practiced once. They spend all day chatting and eating in the camp waiting to die. The ethos in your bones?"
When Fang Jie said these words, he used his internal strength, although his voice was not loud, it was heard clearly in everyone's ears.
"I thought that fewer deaths would be good after all. Human life is more important than mountains, but you have made yourself lighter, lighter than feathers, and lower than grass."
He looked at the hundreds of officers kneeling at the front, the coldness in their eyes made them all smell of death.
"From today onwards, you are no longer the soldiers of the various counties."
Fang Jie said loudly: "You don't have to think about defeating the He people and you can go home as soon as possible, because this battle is far from over. If you still have some blood in your bones, you should understand the attitude of the Sui people towards foreign enemies."
He raised his voice a bit: "Since the establishment of the country in the Sui Dynasty, I have always been allowed to fight out, and no one is allowed to fight in. If someone dares to fight in, they will fight back twice as much. Nanyan is a tiny place, but there are soldiers and bandits on the side. People were slaughtered? How many houses were burned? As soldiers, how can you still be in the mood to drink and have fun?"
"Among you, who drank alcohol last night?"
Fang Jie looked at the hundreds of officers and asked.
No one dared to answer.
"Pry open your mouth, and kill everyone who drank last night."
Seeing that no one spoke, Fang Jie gave orders and said, "You dare not even admit that you have been drunk. None of you have the arrogance of a soldier!"
Not long after, dozens of officers who still smelled of alcohol were brought out, and amidst howling, dozens of heads fell to the ground.
"General!"
At this time, a strong man struggled to open Xiao Xiao's hand and stood up and said loudly: "The general is right, we people really don't look like soldiers! But have you ever thought about it, we are trembling here, who I can’t see what my destiny is. Who cares about training? Those who have been drinking are not necessarily bloodless, but they just don’t know what to do, so they are drunk! General, we are wrong , but I beg the general to give us a chance to correct it!"
"what's your name."
Fang asked.
"Farewell to General Du Chun from the fifth rank!"
"Du Chun, let me ask you."
Fang Jie looked at him and asked, "I'll give you a chance to correct now, but on the battlefield, will the enemy give you a chance to correct?"
Du Chun was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath: "General, will I die if I wait?!"
"yes."
Fang Jie nodded: "A soldier made a mistake, and he died. A corporal made a mistake, and five people died. A team made a mistake, and fifty people died. A brigade leader made a mistake. Wrong, one hundred people died! From today onwards, these soldiers are soldiers of my Black Banner Army, you are incompetent, do I still want you to take them to death?"
Du Chun was silent for a while, raised his head and said loudly, "Please give me a decent way to die, General."
"explain!"
Fang Jie said.
"The general wants to attack Nanyan? Hit the He people?"
"yes."
"I would like to be a dead soldier!"
Du Chun said: "I beg the general to let me die on the battlefield, not in front of my subordinates! A man is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of an embarrassing death. There is not a single coward among the men around me. The general wants to kill us anyway. , why not give us a chance to die together with the enemy!"
Fang Jie was silent for a long time, then nodded: "Okay, you hundreds of people, from today onwards will be the battalion of dead soldiers, and when I march south, you will be the vanguard. I will give you a guarantee, if the three wars Undead kills enemies and breaks ten, I will spare you, and start it again!"
The person who rushed to the front survived three battles
The people below all understand that this is almost impossible. Hundreds of them are rushing forward at the forefront, and they have to survive three battles... It is estimated that none of them can do it. Fang Jie's order was just to fulfill Du Chun and give them a decent way to die.
…
…
Less than two miles away from the Junbing Camp, there is a Swallow Tower that is famous in Yongzhou and even in the entire Pingshang Road. The signboard of Yanzilou has been hanging for hundreds of years, and its reputation is far and wide.
On the third floor, there were two people standing against a railing, looking into the distance.
Fang Jie took a puff of his pipe and exhaled a thick puff of smoke.
He pointed to the army camp below, smiled at the dazed dog leaning on the guardrail on the third floor and asked, "Do you know the different types of courage?"
The big dog froze for a moment, shook his head and said he didn't know.
"If you have the guts to snatch something from an old, weak, woman or child, it's for a rascal. If you have the guts to snatch the gold, silver and jewelry from a rich mansion, it's for bandits. It is a hero who has the courage to grab a piece of land and thousands of miles."
He pointed to the drilled county soldiers and said, "I have prepared hundreds of dead soldiers and 30,000 strong soldiers for you there."
He pointed to the Black Banner Army camp in the distance: "There are still tens of thousands of elite cavalry there."
Then he looked at Da Quan: "I'll help you take back a piece of land, do you have the guts to be a hero?"
