Chapter 175 Relentless Military Law
Xie Yuan looked at the three deserters in front of him with a cold face.Their heads were still covered with turbans, which are obviously a Southwestern custom, and they had already put on ordinary people's bunt clothes.

Xie Yuan was angry and felt ridiculous.

What kind of stupid person is he, who would not forget to wrap his glaring turban back when he ran away as a deserter?
This is her soldier?If his mother is so stupid, can he really win the battle? !

The people who were tied up saw Xie Yuan's face sinking like water and said nothing, and thought that Xie Yuan's style was different from the others. Everyone in the camp said that he was young, a well-educated son of a family, upright and soft-hearted. .

Immediately, they had the hope of surviving, and cried to Xie Yuan:
"Captain! Forgive us this time. I have an old mother at home, and there is no one to take care of her in the southwest. I am so far away from her, and I am really worried... That's why I ran away now. I can't let her alone People are starving to death at home..."

Another also said:
"That's right, captain, we were forced to serve as soldiers, far away from our wives, children, and children. We don't have a single man at home. How can they survive... Captain, let us go back. We know you are kind, and we won't just sit and watch With such a tragedy happening, right?"

"Yes, Captain... Please, please let us go, let us go home, woo woo woo..."

All three of them were crying bitterly, looking at Xie Yuan with pitiful and pleading eyes.

Xie Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, she lowered her eyelids and looked away.

It would be a lie to say that she was not moved at all.

She knows best how these people become soldiers.

The southwest is located in a remote place. After the king of the Southwest rebelled, the court did not know who gave His Majesty the idea.Let the Southwest have no more soldiers to recruit, and completely cut off the possibility of their rebellion.

So as long as they were involved in the rebellion, the men and strong laborers were forcibly conscripted into the imperial army and taken away from the southwest, and they were not paid for soldiers, and they were treated as prisoners.

There are many Southwesterners in this camp, old, weak, sick and disabled left at home.

What they say is not false.

Feeling homesick and worrying about your family is all human.

Xie Yuan is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person by nature, how could she not soften her heart at all?

But how can you be so soft-hearted about this kind of thing?The camp is full of helpless people, who is better than the other?

As long as this opening is opened.On the second day, it is estimated that half of the camp will be emptied and run clean.

"Captain!!! I beg you. Please have pity on us!"

"Yes, take pity on us, please, we will never forget your great kindness."

"A good man is rewarded...a good man is rewarded, Colonel."

They were still crying bitterly, asking Xie Yuan for hope of life.

Unable to bear it, Xie Yuan turned half of his body and stood sideways, deliberately not looking at them, to cover up the sadness and weakness in his heart.

If according to her heart, she really wanted to let them go, let them go home to farm and reunite with their parents, wives and children, why fight here?

But does this world allow it?Without a peaceful world, there will be no peaceful days.No one can escape the fate of being displaced and having their wives and children scattered at every turn.

She suddenly thought of Shen Liuzhen's words - "Someone has to do such a cruel thing."

Xie Yuan fixed his eyes and said:

"I understand your situation, and I sympathize with you, but military law is ruthless. If you escape, it will be a death penalty. There is nothing Xie can do..."

Her eyes turned sharp as a knife, with a cold light, and said to the messenger: "Come on! Take it down, show the head of the owl, and expose the dead body at the gate of the camp for three days as a warning to others!"

"Yes!" The three people were dragged away immediately, leaving behind a wailing.

Since then, everyone knew that Xie Yuan, the captain, even though he had a unique "gentleness" and took good care of his subordinates, did not prevent him from being decisive and strict in military law.

For a while, everyone in the camp had a preliminary understanding of his "combination of toughness and softness" methods, and they were even more in awe.

deserter?

Those who thought that Xie Yuan was easy to talk and wanted to escape by chance, would break out in a cold sweat every time they saw the headless corpse hanging on the wooden stake at the gate of the camp.

Rather than being caught and then executed by military law and hung on a wooden stake, it would be better to still be in the camp and feel the spring breeze of Lieutenant Xie Xiaowei.

……

On the school grounds, Xie Yuan walked around, inspecting the training under the head of the guard.

The training in the previous period was mainly to exercise the cooperation and coordination between each of the 15 people configurations.

In their battalion, there are mainly infantry. The cavalry is not organized, and there are only a few horses, which is not considered to be cavalry.

So strictly speaking, everyone is an infantry.

The infantry practiced hand-to-hand combat, melee combat, and the stamina and reaction speed of hacking and killing.

Usually, there are regular stabbing exercises, and the movements of individual soldiers are the usual training schedule in the battalion.

Now the test is to teach the team of 15 people how to kill more enemies and preserve their own strength while cooperating.

How many people hold shields, how many people hold guns, and what formation to use, these are all things to consider and the purpose of training.

For this formation and how to cooperate, Xie Yuan didn't make any rules, but let them figure it out for themselves.

To see if it works, just try it out in a battle between the two guys.

Now it is mainly the battle between the various gangs. The first four gangs in a team can just practice fighting against each other in pairs.

In order to ensure that it is close to actual combat, wooden sticks without gun heads and wooden knives are used.

Each corps leader is responsible for coordinating, summing up the experience of winning, and after popularizing the whole corps, then forming a competition between corps and corps, combining the two numbers into one, and advancing layer by layer.

Xie Yuan took the messengers and walked through the fields of the corporal commanders one by one. Watching them discuss countermeasures and rush to kill together, he was somewhat relieved.

This kind of atmosphere dedicated to studying tactics and the spirit of striving to win, from morning to night, it is best to dream about how to win and how to work hard when you sleep at night.

This rhythm is the rhythm of wartime.

Every day, there is no time for mind and body to be idle... There is no time to be homesick, to think about whether I can adapt...

This point, she has fought for several years, is the most clear.

Xie Yuan passed by a place, and saw that the battle between the two gangs was like a child's play, as if it had been negotiated, you use the shield and I use the spear, she frowned and said angrily:

"Acrobatics!! Cut legs! Don't chop shields when there is time?!"

When those people heard the voice, they stopped their movements in fright, and turned their heads to see that it was indeed Xie Yuan.

They panicked in their hearts, they didn't dare to lie anymore, and quickly tried their best to fight, and suddenly there was a sound of screams and wailing, and they all fell to the ground.

Xie Yuan's face was serious, and he said to the messenger: "Go and tell the second guard commander that the subordinates are fooling him, and then it's not easy to fool me. If I find out that there is such a joke again, the whole guard will not even want to sleep. Times, including him!"

"Yes!" The orderly took the order and went.

At this moment, a soldier hurried over and said to Xie Yuan:

"Just now the general sent someone to urgently summon the school lieutenant to discuss something important."
