Chapter three hundred and twenty third blood-stained five hundred
"Report!"
A soldier hurriedly rushed into Xie Jun's tent and said breathlessly: "Report to the general, my subordinates and others found two assassins assassinating General Niu during their inspection. I and my subordinates rushed to the rescue, but
Those two assassins have succeeded, they should flee as soon as their subordinates arrive!"
Xie Jun stood up suddenly when he heard the soldiers' words and shouted loudly: "How is General Niu?"
The soldier lowered his head and said: "General Niu...died in battle..."
Xie Jun slammed the table and said angrily: "Where is the assassin!? Don't tell me that I lost him!"
The soldier raised his head and said: "The assassin was chased so eagerly by us that he ran into the C-shaped camp of the new recruits Jiazi camp. The subordinates and others have blocked the C-shaped camp, but they did not find the assassin. It seems that he mixed with the soldiers.
Among them, there are 500 soldiers in the C-shaped camp. They are all new soldiers recruited from Shangzhou. Their subordinates are not familiar with these people. When the assassin assassinated General Niu, he covered his face with a black scarf. Now he has blended in with the new soldiers and recognized them.
Won’t come out.”
Xie Jun snorted angrily: "Go! Move my personal barracks to surround the C-shaped camp first! Then call Dongfang Liang for me! I want him to identify who he has recruited from Shangzhou
Come!"
The soldier responded and hurried out. Not long after, Dongfang Liang, who was sweating, came quickly. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down on one knee: "General, I humble my position..."
Xie Jun glanced at him coldly and said, "Follow me to your barracks. I want to see what your barracks looks like. Hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
Dongfang Liang opened his mouth to explain, but in the end he hung his head feebly. He had already learned the news from Xie Jun's personal soldier before, and he did not expect that the assassin he had been looking for for so many days was hiding in his own body.
In the camp, more than twenty generals of thousands of captains and above have been assassinated in the past few days, and the entire camp is shrouded in an atmosphere of terror. Those generals, even if they go to the toilet, they have to carry at least dozens of
Guarded by personal soldiers. Even in their own military tent, they must be guarded by at least four personal soldiers at all times.
But even so, those damn assassins can still find flaws and kill them with one strike. General Niu is usually most afraid of death. He usually goes in and out of the military camp with at least twenty or thirty soldiers with him. When he goes to bed at night
, there must be six or seven soldiers guarding the military tent. But today I don’t know why he robbed a young woman from outside the military camp. General Niu is famous for being lustful. If he doesn’t touch a woman for several days, he will feel uncomfortable to death.
.Finally caught a good-looking young woman, but he couldn't bear it after holding it for so long. But he couldn't do this in front of six or seven soldiers, so he asked his soldiers to do it.
Guarding outside the tent, who would have thought, they subdued the woman and climbed up. After a few twitches, two assassins wearing the uniforms of ordinary soldiers of the Zhou army cut open the tent and got in. They slashed General Niu and the woman at the same time with one knife.
Turn around and run away.
It happened that a brigade of Xie Jun's soldiers was patrolling the camp with dozens of soldiers. They saw a big hole in General Niu's military tent. Just as he was about to go closer to check, he saw two men wearing Zhou army uniforms coming out of the big tent.
Seeing that something was wrong, the brigade leader immediately led people to check. Sure enough, General Niu had been assassinated. He led his people to chase the two assassins. The assassins were originally wearing Zhou army uniforms and went to No. A
He ran into the new barracks. After entering, he entered the C-shaped barracks very familiarly. When the soldiers led the brigade to pursue him, he couldn't find anyone again.
The brigade leader had no choice but to order his men to guard the gate of the C-shaped camp tightly, while he hurried to Xie Jun's Chinese army's tent to report the news.
During these days, the atmosphere in the entire Zhou army camp has been too depressing. The assassins hiding in the dark are everywhere, and they specifically target generals above the rank of captain. More than twenty generals were assassinated before and after, and Zhou Jun's
The command system was once broken. The assassin could not be caught. These generals who had experienced hundreds of battles were all panicked. They didn't know whether the assassins would be their next target. They didn't know if they would kill them again when they fell asleep at night.
They couldn't open their eyes. They were fearless on the battlefield, but now they were scared. In their view, dying on the battlefield is the fate of soldiers, and there is nothing wrong with it. But if you die by assassination, it is a little bit no matter what.
Frustrated.
Moreover, everyone has vaguely heard that the reason why assassins are so rampant is because the general Xie Jun sent several tiger guards to assassinate Liu Ling, the king of Han. Naturally, those tiger guards did not succeed, but they killed Liu Ling, the king of Han.
He was so angry. So, Liu Ling sent a large number of assassins to sneak into Zhou Jun's camp and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Xie Jun. However, Xie Jun was protected by tiger guards and was airtight, so Liu Ling ordered the assassins to assassinate Zhou Jun in a rage.
Generals. This incident made the Zhou army generals feel very uncomfortable. They always felt that they were dying for others.
In fact, the rumors are close to the truth. However, those assassins were not temporarily sent by Liu Ling to infiltrate the Zhou army camp. The military camp was heavily guarded, and it was difficult for assassins to sneak in. These assassins from all over the Supervisory Yuan are all in Yongzhou
, sneaked in when Shangzhou was recruiting new soldiers.
In any case, the Zhou army camp was shrouded in a gloomy haze. Now, another general has been assassinated, and the assassin who has not been found for a long time has been discovered. How can Xie Jun not be anxious? For this
Several assassins have killed no less than 500 soldiers. If they are allowed to escape this time, Xie Jun will be extremely unwilling and extremely angry.
With a cold face, Xie Jun led Dongfang Liang and sixty Tiger Guards, and aggressively entered Camp A and C of Shangzhou Bing Camp. This camp was filled with recruits recruited from Shangzhou, and each camp had a total capacity of 500 people.
Because the C-shaped camp is composed entirely of new soldiers, and there are no veterans among them, the men of the C-shaped camp have not participated in the war since the war began. There are only 500 people in the C-shaped camp. When Xie Jun arrived at the C-shaped camp, his personal soldiers had already
The place was surrounded by people, and the new recruits of Camp C who didn't know what was going on gathered in the open space of the camp, looking at the murderous soldiers looking at each other.
Some of them had the courage to step forward and ask what had happened to the soldiers who had drawn their swords from their sheaths, but the answer they received was to tell them to go back and stand still, and no one was allowed to move, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
! Some people vaguely guessed something. Looking at the fierce eyes of the soldiers, a strong uneasiness arose in their hearts.
Xie Jun walked to the front of the open space and said coldly to Dongfang Liang: "This is your military camp. I won't interfere. The assassins are hiding among these five hundred recruits. If you can't get them, I will ask for you!"
Dongfang Liang shuddered. He smelled the smell of blood from Xie Jun's cold words. He knew that General Xie Jun was going crazy. In just ten days, more than twenty generals were killed. He
How can you not be angry? But who is to blame for this? If you hadn't sent the Tiger Guard to assassinate Liu Ling, what would have happened today?
But he absolutely did not dare to say these words.
Because he knew that if he said it, the furious Xie Jun would order the Tiger Guard to cut him into pieces with swords, right? He also knew that if he couldn't find the two assassins today, the end would not be any better.
Place to go.
Dongfang Liang bowed in response, and then walked up to the assembled recruits of the C-shaped battalion. He first glanced at the unfamiliar soldiers under his command, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These soldiers,
Is there really that hateful assassin among these own soldiers?
"I am Dongfang Liang, your general."
He paused and continued: "Someone saw with their own eyes just now that the assassins who sneaked into my camp mingled with you people. You know very well what those assassins have done. I know that the assassins are here now.
Look at me, and you are likely to be implicated by these assassins! If you report it, you will be punished! If I find out who is harboring the assassins, the corps commander, commander, and centurion will all be killed. All the centurions where they are located will be killed.
!Now, open your eyes and take a closer look to see if the people around you are familiar! If no one recognizes the assassin within a stick of incense, then don’t blame me for being ruthless in military law!"
After saying this, there was an explosion in Camp C. The soldiers immediately became confused and shouted that they were wronged. They all joined the army together, and the five people in the same unit were at least familiar to each other, but now,
The general actually said that among the partners who had been getting along day and night since the dispatch of the army, some of them would be assassins of the Han army. This made them not believe it no matter what!
However, they heard murderous intent from the general's cold words. These five hundred recruits were shrouded in panic.
The stick of incense passed quickly, and no one came forward to identify his robe as the assassin. Xie Jun snorted coldly, and looked at Dongfang Liang with a chill in his eyes. Dongfang Liang's heart trembled, and then he became a little angry.
He walked quickly not far away from the new recruits and shouted loudly: "Commanders, sergeants, and centenarians, come out and identify your men to see if there are any faces you don't recognize!"
The corps commander, sergeant commander, and centenary commander bravely stood up. Under pressure, they carefully identified the brothers in a military camp, and then they were distressed to find that there was not a single stranger. These soldiers were all engaged in business.
We came together when we set off from Zhouzhou. After so many days of getting to know each other, at least a few people in the group knew each other.
The five centenarians looked at each other, and then came up and reported that they had not found any strange faces. Another centenarian asked if he had seen it wrong, and the assassin had not infiltrated the C camp at all.
This result made Dongfang Liang very angry. When he turned around to look at Xie Jun, he found that the killing intent in his eyes was even stronger.
"Asshole! Go and show me again!"
Dongfang Liang shouted loudly.
"No need!"
Xie Jun said coldly.
He turned around and asked his personal brigade leader: "Are you sure those two assassins entered Camp C? Are you sure they didn't escape?"
The leader of the personal brigade replied affirmatively: "General, my subordinates have seen it with their own eyes, and it is absolutely unmistakable. Moreover, after the assassin entered Camp C, my subordinates sent people to blockade the place. The assassin will definitely not escape!"
Xie Jun nodded and said: "Okay, let's kill them all."
After saying that, he waved his hand and turned around.
His personal camp immediately surrounded them, took off the hard bows from their backs, took out the wolf-fang arrows, and aimed them at the five hundred dazed Shangzhou recruits with cold expressions. Dongfang Liang was startled and looked at Xie Jun's back eagerly.
shouted: "General, wait a moment, give me some more time!"
Dongfang Liang shook his head and pressed his hand down suddenly: "Fire the arrow!"
Two Shangzhou recruits wearing Zhou army uniforms stood on the last floor of the 500-person crowd. They looked at each other, stretched out their hands and held each other tightly. There were indifferent smiles on their faces. If
If you look carefully, you will see nostalgia for this world and life in their eyes. However, there is another emotion that suppresses this nostalgia. This emotion is called determination.
"Everywhere, Li Huairan."
"Four places, Wang Dongtian"
"Haha, brother, see you in the next life."
"See you in the next life!"
At this time, Xie Jun's personal camp had begun to fire arrows, and the recruits from the C battalion in the front row immediately fell down like weeds blown down by the wind. The soldiers shouted, begged, and cried in panic,
But it was of no avail. The cold arrows pierced their fiery bodies and took away the life.
"don't want!"
Dongfang Liang roared, but Xie Jun was indifferent. He turned around and glanced at Dongfang Liang, sighed and said: "It would be better to kill five hundred by mistake than to miss one person. Dongfang Liang, you should know what a trade-off is!"
"General, doing this will provoke a mutiny!"
Dongfang Liang begged, as if in response to his words, suddenly a voice came from the back of the C-shaped camp: "Since Xie Jun doesn't regard us as human beings, let's rebel! Kill Xie Jun and replace the dead brothers.
revenge!"
Another voice shouted: "It's a death anyway. Rather than being unjustly accused and shot to death, we might as well fight for it! Let's kill everyone!"
Li Huairan and Wang Dongtian looked at each other and smiled, then gritted their teeth and rushed forward.
On the ninth day of September in the second year of Datong in the Han Dynasty, on the Double Ninth Festival, five hundred people were stained with blood. (To be continued)
