Chapter 493 Enforcing Military Law
"Maybe it's because the road is too peaceful, and I always feel that something is wrong." Qin Mingtai rubbed his eyebrows, and he felt a little tired from the long journey, "Lieutenant Wu, take someone to have a look!"

"Obey!" The military captain gave a military salute, and was about to leave, but saw a man rushing over from the rear of the team.

"Report—" The soldier who summoned the messenger was out of breath, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He rushed all the way to the Captain Wu, panting and said, "Wu... Captain Wu, the rear... the rear Food and grass were... burnt!"

"What? Say it again?" Lieutenant Wu only felt his head buzzing, and he took a step forward to grab the summoned soldier and growled in a low voice.

The little soldier who summoned him also knew that this was extremely bad news, but the facts were there, how could he conceal it and not report it?Bite the bullet, the soldier who summoned the messenger repeated again: "Our food and grass have been burned..."

"You nonsense..." The word nonsense was swallowed abruptly, and the military captain looked at Xiao Bing's pale face and understood that the other party did not have the guts to lie about military information.Could it be that grain and grass were really...

Just when Captain Wu was flustered and anxious, he heard General Qin Mingtai's voice from behind: "Captain Wu, what's the matter?"

Lieutenant Wu froze, loosened the collar of the summoning soldier, and turned around with an ugly expression: "General..."

Seeing him like this, Qin Mingtai's heart moved, and he didn't even have the time to say anything, so he rode his horse and rushed to the rear of the team.

The uneasiness in his heart was finally confirmed. Looking at the thick smoke billowing from behind, Qin Mingtai's expression changed drastically: "What's going on here? Captain Wu, take someone to have a look!"

The captain of the military school hurriedly took the order and left, and the news that the grain and grass were burned spread throughout the entire Vietnamese army.For a while, people panicked, and even the speed of the march was delayed.

Mu Lin, who was in a hurry to finish the fight early and get out of the battle, naturally sensed the delay of the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom. He immediately pulled the reins to stop the horse, and shouted at the soldiers with a straight face: "Hurry up! Don't ink!"

The already anxious soldiers were even more dissatisfied when he urged them like this, and some of them even muttered softly.

"It's easier for him to ride the horse himself!"

"That's right! The food and grass have been burned. Are we going to fight hungry?"

"Wu Xiaowei Dun Dun has meat, we can't even drink rice soup now!"

……

The soldiers below were talking in whispers as they hurried on the road reluctantly, and some of the grievances were louder and inevitably the volume could not be controlled, and it reached Mu Lin's ears.

Hearing that the soldiers under his command dared to criticize him secretly, Mu Lin was furious, and whipped his horsewhip at the Yue soldier who said he was not: "How dare you talk about the chief! Presumptuous!"

Mu Lin whipped the whip extremely fast, and he didn't know whether the soldier had no time to dodge or didn't dare to dodge, but stood in place and received the whip abruptly. Not only was his shirt instantly stained red by the blood that gushed out, but even the left side of his face He was also swept by the whip, leaving a blood-red scar.

Seeing that his companion was injured by Captain Mu, a soldier who had a good relationship with that person immediately stood up and complained: "How did you beat someone!"

Looking at the three soldiers who stood up, Mu Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and shouted, "Where is the military judge?"

Hearing Mu Lin's cry, the three soldiers couldn't help being stunned, showing timid expressions.They stood up for their companions just because of the momentary impulse, they never thought that Colonel Mu would be called a military judge.

In the army, normal minor conflicts do not involve military law at all.Only serious incidents such as dereliction of duty that caused heavy casualties to the army, or betrayal, would allow military judges to come forward to enforce military laws.Therefore, when Mu Lin yelled, the military judge not far away didn't react suddenly.

"Military judge! There are people here who commit crimes and spread rumors to shake the morale of the army!" Mu Lin turned his head and shouted directly at the military judge, "Such violators of military regulations must be severely punished!"

Hearing what he said was so serious, the military judge didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, and hurried over, looked at the crowd and asked, "What's going on?"

Originally, the soldiers discussed a few words and complained in private, such things can be big or small.But when Colonel Mu called the military judge, the nature was different.The soldier who had been whipped gritted his teeth and stood up: "Report! It's my fault! I'm the one who talked about Captain Mu, and I'm willing to accept military punishment!"

When the three early soldiers saw that their companions wanted to take responsibility for themselves, they quickly said: "Report! We didn't spread rumors to cause trouble, and we didn't shake the morale of the army! Lao Zhuang just talked about Mu Xiaowei. Just beat him with a whip, we can't see it..."

"He can also talk about the captain?" Mu Lin interrupted them coldly, pointing at the three people, "You speak ill of the captain in secret, and even contradict me face to face, what is wrong with you? What is the matter of burning down if it is not spreading rumors and shaking the morale of the army? Seeing that we are about to attack the city of Wu, you actually shake the morale of the army. What is your intention? The military judge is here today, and none of the four of you can escape! "

The big hats were buttoned down, which made the four people dumbfounded.

"Report sir, we have been wronged!"

"We have not shaken the morale of the army! Everyone knows about the burning of food and grass..."

"Yeah! We are also worried..."

Seeing the four people arguing at each other, Mu Lin didn't bother to waste any more words, turned his head to look directly at the military judge, and said with a cold snort: "At such a critical moment, they actually use the burning of food and grass to shake the morale of the army! Military judge, how should I deal with it according to military discipline?"

Cold sweat broke out from the military judge's head. He wanted to intercede for the four soldiers, but Captain Mu's gaze was fixed on him like a knife, and he showed no intention of compromise.

The military judge swallowed, and said with difficulty: "The following people commit crimes, spread rumors to cause trouble, and shake the morale of the army. According to the military law, they shall be executed!"

These words surprised everyone, and even the soldiers standing next to them thought it was a bit exaggerated.Isn't it just to talk about Captain Mu's food is special, don't you know how hard it is for their legs to walk while riding a horse?How could he be punished for the crime?

Hearing the military judge's words, Mu Lin nodded slightly, and urged unceremoniously: "Then what are you waiting for? Still not enforcing the military law?"

"But... Captain Mu..." The military judge just wanted to ask Captain Mu to show mercy on the grounds that his combat power was precious at this time, when he saw the other party stare at him coldly and pointed at him.

"As a military judge, you don't want to bend the law for personal gain, do you?" Mu Lin raised his finger and pointed at the military judge, blocking the second half of the other party's words.

The military judge's heart was cold, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Enforce the military law!"
