Chapter 161 Shengjie army still needs to become stronger

After the two left, Su Yonglin didn't stay where he was.

He took part of the army from Huben Camp to explore around the Jin Army Camp, and followed the trail of the army to find the villages where the Jin Army had been violent, and wanted to see how the situation was going.

After arriving at the first destroyed village, Su Yonglin was stunned.

It was midsummer, the climate was hot, and the human corpses were decomposing at an extremely fast rate, and they gave off an indescribable stench.

A large number of mosquitoes and unknown maggots were twisting and twisting on the top, and the horrific appearance of the rotten corpse wrapped in the stench appeared in front of Su Yonglin and the soldiers of the Huben Battalion.

Despite the bloody battle, the psychological quality has long been different, but at this moment, there are still many soldiers who can't help but vomit involuntarily.

Even the always brave Tie Hanhan Su Yong covered his mouth and nose, his eyes full of shock.

Su Yonglin didn't vomit, the strong stench and the rotten and broken corpse seemed to him only sadness, not nausea.

After the village was destroyed by the flames, there were only rubble and broken wood. Under the half-drawn houses that were burned to the dark, lay black charred corpses. Some corpses appeared alone, and some corpses were held together in two or three.

From their distorted postures, Su Yonglin could see the pain in their lives.

The humming of mosquitoes kept ringing in his ears, but Su Yonglin heard their desperate cry before they died.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. After a while, he calmed down and led the team out of the village to avoid the plague.

"Ayong, bring someone neatly dressed, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth towel, bring something to spark, hold a torch, and set all the corrupt corpses you can see on fire, burn them, and don't leave a single corpse behind."

"what?"

Su Yong didn't understand why he did this.

"After the war, there will be a big epidemic, because the corpses are not disposed of in time. In the midsummer season, the corpses are rapidly decomposed and mosquitoes breed. If they are not disposed of in time, epidemics are likely to occur. It is necessary to burn all the corpses with fire to ensure no A disease occurs."

Hearing this, Su Yong nodded.

"I see, I know how to do it, so that's all right, Lang? Don't need to do anything else?"

"Everyone is already dead, what else?"

Su Yonglin was silent for a while, then shook his head: "Go, finish things as soon as possible, get rid of all the corpses, and then go back to the camp, we still have a lot of other things to do, we don't have time to delay here."

"Here."

Su Yong led the team to work, and Su Yonglin couldn't bear to look down.

Because he felt that the next village could only be worse than this, not better.

Not a single survivor could be found, and the entire village was killed, not even a single survivor.

All men and women died, not even the elderly and young children survived. The death was extremely tragic...

As far as he is concerned, those who do such things are no longer human, they have already left the category of human beings, and the most vicious beasts are nothing more than that.

But sadly, in this day and age, there are countless non-humans who would do such things.

What's even more sad is that this kind of thing is normal in the eyes of this society, just like eating and drinking water. At most, I feel sorry for it, but I don't think it's overbearing, and I won't feel the slightest bit about it. anger.

At most, I sighed, and then I began to pray that I would not encounter the army, my family, relatives and friends would not encounter the army, and never encounter the army crossing the border.

Burning and looting is a normal army.

An army that protects the people instead of burning, killing and looting is a myth.

The people are the natural prey of the army.

This is the general concept of this society.

Su Yonglin felt that there was a fire in his heart, a fire that was burning and intensifying.

He wanted to do something and felt he had to do something.

Back at the Jinjun barracks, Su Yonglin thought for a while, ordered the entire army to cover their mouths and noses with cloth towels, and followed him to patrol the affected villages and dispose of the bodies of the victims.

Burial is difficult, cremation is their last dignity.

Pile their bodies together, light firewood and fuel, send them on their last journey with a raging fire, pray that they can have an afterlife, and pray that their afterlife will not be born in such a cruel world.

It doesn't matter whether the corpses are whole or incomplete, heavily or slightly decomposed, men's or women's, old or children's.

No one spoke during the whole process, everyone was very quiet, and silently followed behind Su Yonglin to offer the last condolences to the victims.

During the process, some people vomited, and some secretly wiped their tears.

In an empathetic army like the Shengjie Army, nothing educates soldiers better than this brutal hellscape.

If the Shengjie Army is strong enough, it will be able to implement the new rural policy on a larger scale, and it will be able to organize more of these farmers to flee quickly, just like the surviving new rural areas.

However, the strength of the Shengjie Army is still too weak, so weak that it can only protect itself, but not others. It is not easy to even protect oneself, and facing a powerful enemy is also dangerous.

Shengjie Army has not become stronger.

Shengjie Army also needs to become stronger.

Later in the day, Su Yonglin returned to the abandoned camp of the Jin Army to listen to the latest clean-up report. Basically, he concluded that the escaped Jin Army was unlikely to regain a threatening fighting force, and more likely to be scattered and go home.

Too many officers died, and the army that lost so many officers could not continue to maintain its establishment, and they could not get enough food to maintain the establishment of the army, so the most likely thing that happened was that the defeated soldiers fled home one after another.

Su Yonglin felt a little relaxed, and the feeling of being blocked was relieved a little.

Until the sun went down, the soldiers who had gone to dispose of the corpses returned one after another, and then went to the river to wash their hands and faces, as if they wanted to wash away the anguish in their hearts with cold water.

At this time, Zhao Kaishan came.

Zhao Kaishan had been waiting for Su Yonglin to see him at the barracks.

Although he didn't want to see Su Yonglin at this time.

Because he was beaten in the face.

Facts have proved that the Jin Army has indeed collapsed and lost the battle. Yesterday's fire was a real fire, not a plan of suspicion. Zhao Kaishan himself was frightened by the Jin Army and did not dare to fight or expand the victory. In the end, the battle was ended by Su Yonglin. .

Su Yonglin led the Victory Army under his command to defeat tens of thousands of Golden Army, three battles and three victories.

Now it's all right, Su Yonglin's title of [No.1 General of the Restoration Army] cannot be taken away at all.

After all, he is the God of War of the Restoration Army.

And myself...

what is it then?

So when Zhao Kaishan heard the news, although he had a strange premonition, when he really learned it, his head was still blank.

Then soon, a huge embarrassment came over him, making him almost want to dig a hole into the ground.

Disgraceful and lost.

As the leader, he dared not attack with tens of thousands of troops in his hand, but Su Yonglin dared to fight against the Jin army with several thousand troops, and even if he fought to the death, he still won the final victory, which made him how to continue to be the leader in the future. How about handsome, leading the Restoration Army against gold?
How will the officers and soldiers who know all this regard him as the commander-in-chief?

Will he feel that he is an incompetent person, so he will no longer obey his orders, and instead join Su Yonglin's command?
It's all really hard to say.

Zhao Kaishan was embarrassed when Zhao Zuoliang came.

"Kaishan, let's go meet Su Yuting together."

Zhao Kaishan looked at Zhao Zuoliang with a complicated expression.

"Uncle, I... can I not go?"

Zhao Zuoliang shook his head.

"Kaishan, I know what you think in your heart, but right now, Su Yuting is the greatest hero of the Restoration Army. No matter what, you must go to see him, praise him, give him an official title, and hold him high to show that The harmony between you and him will stabilize the military's morale."

Zhao Zuoliang said this, Zhao Kaishan was unwilling.

"Add an official to the rank? How can I add an official to him? Uncle, he is the Hussar General. I am No. 1 in the Restoration Army, and his rank is higher than Sun Ziyi. How else can I be named?
I am a leader myself, I don't have a title yet, how can I give him a title?Seal what?If I give him another seal, I might as well abdicate and give up the position of leader and give him the position of commander! "
