The soldiers present all lowered their heads and said nothing in silence.Seeing that no one answered, the captain looked around everyone with bloodthirsty eyes, and said, "Or is it that this woman was looted and humiliated by you together?"
The captain's indifferent voice resounded through the secluded alleyway, leaving no doubt as to what he wanted to do next.
Among the crowd, a soldier suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, the villain has stayed in the mountains for too long, and I was confused for a while, so please spare the villain!"
The soldier kowtowed all the time, and in the end, he even cried out in fear.
"Sima, the military law of the Qin army, adultery, adultery, what is the crime?" The captain suddenly asked the young Sima behind him.
Sima was taken aback for a moment, and then he shouted out the military law that he had memorized since he was a child, and he could recite it backwards: "Kill without pardon."
"The law has been clarified, and the crime must be dealt with." The captain raised the long knife in his hand, and under the scorching sun, cut off the soldier who was desperately begging for mercy.
The captain's knife was very fast, and the soldier fell to the ground without feeling any pain, lifeless.
"Take his body back and say he died in battle on the battlefield." The captain ordered to the silent soldiers beside him.
"Yes Yes."
"I thought you would let that soldier go. Thank you for not disappointing the imperial army." On the way to retreat, Sima on the horse said to the captain.
The lieutenant was riding on the horse, and when he heard Sima's words, he said disdainfully: "You have misunderstood. Right now our people are in the enemy's territory, and we have to fight for a long time, and we will be in danger at any time. Rape, adultery, etc. It will seriously reduce the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. If I don't kill a hundred, the morale of the army will quickly deteriorate. If I encounter the enemy at that time, I will definitely lose. If the imperial army has captured Shushan at this moment, I will not care about this kind of thing at all. "
After listening to the captain's explanation, Sima unconsciously let go of the rein.The army horse trembled when it encountered the stone, and Sima almost fell off the horse.He said with a look of resentment: "You are dereliction of duty and contempt for the imperial military law."
In any case, for this Sima with a sense of justice, the school captain became more and more unhappy the more he looked at him, and he always wanted to sing a different tune with him: "Brothers hold their heads up, rush to the front line, expand the territory for the empire, and live a prosperous life." In the days when there is no Ming Dynasty, what’s the point of grabbing women’s wealth? You high-ranking aristocrats have been clothed in luxury since childhood, how do you know the suffering of us people.”
What the captain said made Sima speechless, but Sima still refused to accept it and said: "You are like this, why do you still lie about him, saying that he died when he encountered the enemy without fighting?"
"These soldiers are all from poor backgrounds, and most of them have trouble in their families. If they died because they violated military laws, the imperial court would not grant them pensions. How will the young and old in their families survive?"
Sima stopped, looked at the captain in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.
……
When Yu Ziqi rushed to the village with a thousand Shushan guards, the goal was broken trees and the sky full of flies and insects.
"Damn it!" There was a stench in the air, but Yu Ziqi didn't look disgusted at all. He half knelt down and slammed his fist hard on the ground.
"These damned Qin troops."
"What shall we do now!"
"Chasing, let's follow the path to catch up, to wipe out all the invading Qin army, and pay homage to the mountain people who died there." Yu Ziqi said with hatred in his eyes, gnashing his teeth.
"Yes!" Yu Yuan's guards behind Yu Ziqi said one after another.
……
In the barracks, at this moment, a team of hundreds of people is surrounding the fire, grilling meat for dinner.
"If you want to say who I admire the most in the army of the empire, it is General Wang. I followed General Wang and defeated Zhao Fachu. It was such a joy." Beside the fire, a soldier said happily .
"What are you bragging about? You joined the army five years ago, when General Wang destroyed Zhao, what happened to you?" On the other side of the fire, a soldier exposed his old background.
"Who said that when Old General Wang was destroying Zhao, he passed by my house, and I personally helped him deliver some military rations, so it's none of my business."
"You are a single husband, so what does it have to do with you when someone goes to war?"
"What the hell are you, didn't you follow His Highness the Crown Prince to cut down swallows once? I heard that when you were facing [-] Yan troops by the Yishui River, you peed your pants in fear."
"What did you say? Who pissed his pants, I was wet by the wind and the river."
Seeing that the two were about to make a move, the soldiers beside them quickly stopped them.In the army, picking quarrels and provoking troubles is not a small crime, and there is no need to lose your life because of verbal disputes.
……
Sima, who was sitting not far away, listened to the argument and didn't care much.He looked at the school lieutenant sitting beside him, and asked, "Do the soldiers seem to respect Old General Wang?"
The lieutenant raised his head, his mouth gnawed on the goat's hooves loosened, and looked at Sima with an idiot look on his face: "Nonsense. No one in my Great Qin Army knows the prestige of Old General Wang and his son. Where did you come from?" ?”
Sima smiled lightly and said, "But I think His Royal Highness is not inferior to the two generals."
"His Royal Highness, that is needless to say. If His Royal Highness hadn't led the army to capture Chudu in the south and cut off the Chu army's food supply. We don't know how long our battle will last?" The captain stayed aside. said the centurion with the long beard.
"Old Fang, how long have the five scouts we sent out been out?" At this moment, the captain interrupted the centurion as if he remembered something, and asked suddenly.
"It must be two hours!" The centurion named Lao Fang replied.
"Something's wrong! It's taking too long."
"Maybe it's because the mountain road is difficult, so it took some time!" the centurion said indifferently.
"No, pass down the order and tell the brothers to be on guard." The captain stood up, like a ferocious beast sensed the danger, restless.
The two centurions took action immediately. Sima watched the scene, and unconsciously clenched the saber in his hand.
"Our large army is at the rear, with only [-] soldiers around, and [-] of them are heavy soldiers. In the mountains and forests, there are many forks in the road, and the enemy will come over at any time. Such a situation is really too dangerous gone."
Phew, a sharp arrow cut through the darkness, passed through the thick branches, and shot a Qin Bing who was about to get up.
"Shield array!" The captain shouted and responded immediately.
Qin Jun, who was still scattered in the woodland, immediately picked up the small shield beside him and moved closer to the captain.On the way, many soldiers were shot by sharp arrows from the forest.
The shield array was set up, and rows of vertical shields blocked the lieutenant, Sima and a dozen wounded soldiers behind them. The attack of the locust-like rain of arrows soon became much weaker.
"The arrow is poisonous, I'm afraid it won't work." Sima inspected a soldier lying on the ground who had been wounded by an arrow, and said.
