Although he was nothing more than a high-sounding hypocrite, several of his squadron leaders still had fatal relationships with Buchi.
Looking at those standing there, either holding a long whip made of rope in their hands, or picking up a stick from nowhere, or even worse, simply using local materials and grabbing a handful of ashes of burned vegetation. The captain of the East Factory was preparing to torture his tied up squadron leaders to extract confessions, and Bu Qi began to consider Xiao Chen's suggestion.
"If I tell you, can you let them go?" Buqi asked coldly, turning his head and looking at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen shook his head, with a hint of apology on his face: "No."
"No? You said that if I told you, they would suffer less. Are you going to regret it so soon?" Buqi looked very angry.
He had been pretending to be a tough guy, and finally he was a little shaken, but the other party denied what he said.
Do this person’s words have any credibility?
"Yeah, I said I could make them suffer less, but I didn't say let them go." Xiao Chen patted the dust on his body and looked at the squadron leaders whose eyes were filled with anger and fear. "There are more than ten people. If we take them, we will have more than ten soldiers unable to participate in the battle. I am a real person and don't want to lie to you. Only by killing them can we reduce the burden on the army and not affect the combat effectiveness of the army. You also take the lead People who fight in the war, think about it for yourself, is this the truth?"
"It's a death no matter what, what else can I say?" Buqi spat on the ground, "Come on, kill me, and then kill them."
Xiao Chen laughed: "Captain Buqi is really impatient. Whether you say it or not, there are two completely different results. If you say it, first, they don't have to suffer and can die cleanly. Second Second, you said that since you have no intention of being an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, I can spare your life."
"Sparing me for life?" Buqi narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't believe his ears.
Although dying standing is the last dignity a man can have, if he could live on his knees, who would choose to die standing?
"Yes, I will spare your life." Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.
"Do you keep your word?"
"Of course." Xiao Chen puffed up his chest, "Although I am not the commander of the army, or even a vanguard officer, I am responsible for obtaining information from you prisoners. I think your information is enough to buy you a life, then You can save this life."
Before Buzy could answer, "Well, well, well." A thick-throated roar came from afar.
The Dongchang captain, who held a handful of ashes in his hand, stuck his left hand around the neck of the Ryukyu army squadron leader opposite him, and stuffed the ashes in his right hand into the opponent's mouth.
With his hands tied tightly behind his back, the squadron leader was unable to resist and could only shake his head vigorously and struggle.
His face turned red, his eyes widened, and he turned his head desperately, trying to get rid of the imprisonment of the captain in front of him.
How can you compete with your opponent's wrist with your neck? How can you ever compete?
"Ah, ah. Please let me go, please! Ah, ah." The squadron leader let out bursts of painful whines, and tears flowed out.
He knew that he was doomed today. Ever since he became the leader of this squadron, he had never encountered anything so miserable. The other party actually treated him like a dog and used such disgusting ashes to destroy his dignity and dignity. Will, how could he endure it?
"Let you go? Let you go and let you come back to kill us?" The captain who was squeezing his neck said coldly, "We have killed most of the soldiers in your first brigade, and now we are not missing one more of you.
If you want to blame, just blame him." After saying that, the captain pointed to Buqi here.
The distance between the two was not too far, and the squadron leader could hear clearly the conversation between Xiao Chen and Bu Qi, even though he was being tortured by the captain of the Dongchang School.
"Captain, please, for the sake of following you, please give me a good time." The squadron leader shouted towards Buqi.
Seeing his subordinates suffering, and seeing that he could survive if he told the truth, Buchi finally made up his mind.
He shouted at Xiao Chen: "Okay, let me tell you the military layout of King Shannan."
"Pah, pah, pah." Xiao Chen raised his hands and patted them three times gently, "Captain Buqi is a cheerful person, and I like to deal with cheerful people. If you are sincere, I must show it to you.
My sincerity.”
With that said, Xiao Chen turned to look at the captain of the Dongchang School in the distance: "Give them a good time."
"Whoosh, whoosh."
After receiving Xiao Chen's instructions, the captains drew out the sabers from their waists and quickly slashed at the necks of the tied Ryukyu squadron captains.
A stream of blood arrows spurted out instantly, and each head immediately fell to the ground.
The screams and begging for mercy stopped suddenly, and the whole scene fell silent.
Buqi closed his eyes, feeling sad.
The first brigade was completely finished.
"The current army of King Shannan has a total of more than 50,000 people. Except for Shimajiri Osato Castle, the other two cities, like Gushikawa Castle, are stationed in a large group, which is more than 7,000 people." Bu Qi's eyes were dull, like a puppet.
Said slowly.
"In other words, Shimajiri Osato Castle is the permanent residence of King Taru of Shannan. There are more than 30,000 people stationed in the city?"
"yes."
"What are the configurations of these more than 30,000 people?" Xiao Chen asked.
"The entire Shannan army uses Japanese swords as its main weapon, and there are less than a thousand archers and spearmen in total."
"They are all close-attack weapons, so this will be much easier to handle." Xiao Chen laughed and pulled out the saber from the waist of the captain next to him with a "clatter".
"You, you, what are you going to do? Are you going to break your promise and kill the donkey?" Looking at the bright sword in Xiao Chen's hand, Bu Qi was shocked and even stammered.
Xiao Chen's face was stern, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face: "You are also a dignified captain who commands more than 7,000 people. Why do you always judge the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart? I, Xiao Chen, am the kind of person who always speaks the truth.
A person without faith?"
His eyes rested on the sharp and cold blade of the saber, Buqi said tremblingly: "Then, what are you doing with the saber?"
"Of course I have fulfilled my promise." Xiao Chen smiled, as if he were making a routine, but the saber in his hand slashed towards Bu Qi's left leg.
"Pfft."
The saber cut into Buqi's left leg like it was cutting tofu.
Immediately afterwards, there was another "click", and Buqi's thigh bone was also cut off.
The entire left leg was left with only a layer of skin connected to the body. Xiao Chen took back the knife with a smile.
"Ah, ah."
Buqi collapsed to the ground, screaming like a wild animal caught in a trap, trembling and whirling in the yard.
"Ah, despicable, ah, despicable and shameless villain. Ah."
The screams were mixed with Buqi's angry yells.
"Captain Buqi, you have wronged me. I said I would keep your life, so I will keep your life. However, I did not say I would keep your legs. I am a man of my word and will not violate my word.
Things that I promised myself."
Xiao Chen shook his head with aggrieved face, and slashed Bu Qi's other leg with the saber in his hand.
In the same way, the muscles and leg bones were cut off, leaving only a layer of skin connecting the body.
"Z/Zi, you are just a despicable and shameless old bastard." Buqi was in pain, but the hatred in his heart made him search for the most unpleasant words and curse Xiao Chen despite the pain.
Xiao Chen pursed his lips and looked at Buqi with great disappointment: "Captain of the Ryukyu Army, what kind of qualities do you have, how can you be so foul-mouthed? Are you vulgar? You really disgrace the Ryukyu Kingdom."
Shaking his head, the saber in his hand struck Buqi's shoulder again.
Only when Bu Qi's arms were cut down to only a layer of skin was he handed the bloody sword to the captain next to him and warned: "Wipe the blood on it, otherwise it will be inserted into the knife."
The sheath will rust."
"Zai/Zai, you have to die a good death. Even if you are lucky enough to conquer the Ryukyu Kingdom, you will encounter huge waves on the way back and be buried in the sea." As a large amount of blood was lost, Buqi's voice became lower and lower.
But the curses became more and more vicious.
"Alas." Xiao Chen let out a long sigh, "A gentleman really can't associate with a villain. Not only did I save your life, but I also kindly made your body look intact. You don't know how to be grateful, but you cursed me so viciously.
I. You disappoint me so much. You disappoint me so much about the Ryukyu Kingdom."
After saying that, he put his hands on his back, shook his head, and walked out of the yard in a disappointed manner.
Behind him, Buqi's eyes were red, staring at Xiao Chen's back fiercely, and his curses became quieter and quieter.
Finally, his head tilted and he stopped breathing.
Ming Dynasty, Beijing, in the imperial study room of the imperial palace.
Ming Chengzu had just gone to court to have breakfast, so he came to the imperial study room as usual, and slowly sat on the dragon chair, preparing to review the accumulated memorials.
"In the past few days, I have been worried about the prince's eastern expedition, and I have accumulated so many memorials. It shouldn't be."
Shaking his head in remorse, he picked up the top memorial and opened it gently.
Wang Xiaosi placed a bowl of ginseng soup on Ming Chengzu's right hand, then slowly walked behind the dragon chair and started his daily kneading action.
There was a rush of footsteps at the door, and Dongchangchang Gong Lin Shangli came hurriedly in with a memorial in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Xingzhou in Yongping Prefecture has sent an urgent memorial to Fang Qi." Lin Shangli bowed his body and handed the memorial forward with both hands.
"What's going on in Xingzhou that we need to report urgently?"
Muttered, Ming Chengzu put down the memorial in his hand and reached out towards the urgent memorial in Lin Shangli's hand.
