Chapter 072 Prey
Zhao Wenxuan ordered his 100 households to select some soldiers whose hands had not been stained with human blood in their respective camps, and then disrupted their original establishment and divided every ten soldiers into groups. Standing on the left side of the campus, they are waiting for the coming moment with all kinds of complicated emotions. On the right side of the campus is the entrance of a group of more than 300 mountain thieves who are about to die, and they are under the care of the elites in Zhao Wenxuan's camp. Without personal freedom, they were either locked in huge cages or tied up in a string of bodies. If someone among the mountain thieves changes a little, they will be killed in an instant.
The east, south and west sides of the school campus have long been arranged to prevent accidents. Located around the general platform in the north, there are knives and shields standing on the periphery, while there are alert firemen standing inside. The purpose of this arrangement can not only ensure the safety of important people, but also prevent mountain thieves from escaping. After all, Lin Zimo did not choose to cut off their heads directly, but to test Zhao Wenxuan's real courage to turn over some of the unbreakable soldiers in this trick.
Before that, Lin Zimo would naturally show his deception to the mountain thieves again. He asked the messengers to bring his words to the mountain thieves and let them know that there was a chance to survive. As for whether you can grasp it or not, it depends on your personal nature. The first ten mountain thieves were almost tied up like hairy crabs and driven into the school yard by their soldiers. On the left are ten soldiers standing side by side with knives in hand, and on the right are ten mountain thieves who can move their legs.
The way for mountain thieves to survive is to get the freedom to get out of the school by not being killed in a cup of tea. As for whether the mountain thieves who can walk out of the campus alive will be killed outside the campus, that is not the scope guaranteed by Lin Zimo. His purpose is to maximize the surplus value of the mountain thieves, so he will not really let any of them go at all.
The messenger who led Lin Zimo's general, hurriedly ran down the platform, deliberately lengthen his voice, and shouted loudly, "Start."
Ten mountain thieves ran away in the west. They have "hope" and want to get this opportunity to survive. In advance, ten soldiers had been told by their respective hundreds of households. Whoever could not complete the job of killing a mountain thief would be whipped 20 times and fined three months of money. Although they have never killed anyone, they don't want to be beaten and spend money at all. Therefore, they looked at each other and ran away to kill their "prey".
Lin Zimo, who sat on the platform, had his head down, smiled, and shook the folding fan regularly in his right hand. He was in an excellent mood to see the officers and soldiers holding their knives high and chasing the mountain thieves running forward one by one. He felt that the gallbladder training he arranged was a cat-and-mouse game. After a short time, there was a scream from the school yard when a mountain thief was killed by a knife.
Lin Zimo noticed Yang Yu's expressionless face and said with a gentle smile, "You should observe it carefully first, and then I will arrange you to practice. At that time, don't lose my face!"
Yang Yu, who didn't hear at all, saw his closest relatives die at the hands of mountain thieves, but he really killed him, so as not to feel uneasy. When I saw this completely unequal picture, I felt very hateful. The ten mountain thieves who were extremely afraid were killed by the officers and soldiers behind them, and the expressions of the ten officers and soldiers were similar after killing the mountain thieves. There was no such a pathological pleasure when Lin Zimo killed the first time.
The second batch, the third batch... The mountain thieves were killed by the corresponding batch of officers and soldiers one after another, leaving only about 200 people. Some of the mountain thieves who wanted to run outside the campus were either beaten into a sieve by the fireman or shot into a hedgehog by the archer, and were stabbed all over by the long gunners and killed by knives and shields. The failed gallbladder was naturally arranged into the next group, and then continued to complete the job of killing each mountain thief.
Lin Zimo, who noticed that many officers and soldiers began to vomit under the field, first passed the order to rest for a while, and then suddenly stood up and walked to Yang Yu. He said calmly, "Now, I want to see you perform. The job of the soldiers is to kill one person, and you have to kill ten people. Don't let your brother-in-law down!"
Yang Yu, who had vomited several times, had no courage to disobey his brother-in-law and said, "I'll try my best."
Lin Zimo tied up his clothes and firmly said, "It's not trying your best, but definitely. This is a great opportunity for you to avenge your dead relatives. If you feel that ten people are not enough to sacrifice your family's undead, I can arrange for you to kill unlimitedly until you use up all your strength.
After saying that, he walked sideways to his brother-in-law and whispered about the next thing. Zhao Wenxuan was very happy and laughed a lot. As he walked down from the platform and ordered his soldiers to prepare wooden stakes, he shook his head and felt that his brother-in-law was really well-intentioned. However, judging by his years of experience, Yang Yu may be terrible.
Lin Zimo, who sat back in the position of the main general, saw that Zhao Wenxuan's soldiers were carrying ten stakes, and then two soldiers held a stake, while the other soldier raised the mallet in his hand and smashed the top of the pile until it fell firmly to the ground. After the group of people who finished their errands retreated, another group of officers and soldiers entered the school yard with ten mountain thieves. These ten thieves were separately tied to a wooden stake and could not move. The reason why Lin Zimo arranged this is to think about the relationship between Yang Mengqi and Yang Yu, otherwise he would not bother to spend this time.
Lin Zimo, who stood up again, thought about his husband and wife relationship with Yang Mengqi, and said kindly, "I'll go with you."
Yang Yu, who is young and vigorous, has the great pride of a scholar, but the job of killing is completely different. My heart is repeatedly entangled with all kinds of distracting thoughts. Naturally, he wants to avenge his dead parents and siblings. However, Yang Yu, who has never killed anyone, is afraid in his heart. What makes him different from that group of rough people is that he has brains and ideas. Soldiers who have been trained for a long time only know how to obey their orders, otherwise they will be severely punished. Therefore, they who will not hesitate too much will certainly choose the former between you and me.
Yang Yu, who followed Lin Zimo, seemed to walk down the platform and went directly to a mountain thief who was tied up. He saw that the mountain thief's face had begun to twist and deform, his eyes were full of hatred, and his expression revealed a sense of wanting to eat people. When Yang Yu first saw the other party, he instinctively took a step back. I know very well that fighting and killing are completely different things. At this time, a soldier who came over was holding a long knife in his hands and delivered it to the trembling Yang Yu. Holding the handle of the knife in both hands, he suddenly felt that he didn't know what to do.
Lin Zimo, who was forceful with his hands behind his hands, stood not far from Yang Yu's left and said in a slightly commanding tone, "Let's start!"
Yang Yu, who held the handle of the knife tightly in both hands, took three steps forward bravely. He pointed the tip of his knife at the mountain thief's chest, but he didn't dare to do it. I know very well that the result of this knife is that a living person died at his hands. Even if he is an unforgiving mountain thief in front of him, it is still a human life.
Seeing that he was about to be killed by a cowardly mountain thief, he suddenly felt that he had been humiliated, so he cursed: "You are a yellow-mouthed child, and your hair has not yet grown, so you want to kill your grandfather. Bah, if there is no one to support you, dream about it! It's really shameful for me to die in your hands.
Lin Zimo, who didn't want to hear this mountain thief continue to scold, lightly called Gao Xiang's name. Gao Xiang, who understood it, approached the mountain thief and dislocated his chin with two heavy punches. Even if he resisted the severe pain of the mountain thief, he couldn't scold him. However, his eyes were staring at Yang Yu. After half a cup of tea, Yang Yu, who was sweating with his hands, still didn't do it. He was in a dilemma and was completely at a loss. Zhao Wenxuan and others standing next to him would have laughed loudly if they hadn't seen Lin Zimo's face.
"Is it so difficult for me to let you kill a mountain thief?" Lin Zimo seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Yang Yu's performance.
Yang Yu, who turned around, said with a sweat on his face, "Brother-in-law, let me try again. After all, I have never done such a thing."
He held the knife in both hands and stroked left and right, then closed his eyes, raised the long knife in his hand high, shouted 'ah', and cut a blank with a knife. Yang Yu, who exerted too much force, was affected by the force and almost fell to the ground. Zhao Wenxuan and others couldn't help laughing loudly.
Lin Zimo, who did not smile, saw the result of his continued development. Many of them could only be a petty official in the Taiping period, and his wife Yang Mengqi was still eager to have high hopes for her cousin. He shook his head and stretched out his right hand to stop in mid-air, while Gao Xiang, who stood beside him, pulled out the steel knife at his waist and delivered it with the blade in both hands.
Lin Zimo, who grabbed the handle of the knife, habitually smiled. Facing the mountain thief, he quickly stepped forward, chopped his right hand hard, and directly cut off the mountain thief's head.
