The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 247 Just Follow the Order

The No.14 Battalion of Wang Qing's Bandit Army was stationed outside Luzhou City and belonged to the Third Small Army.

Wang Qing's army followed the Song system, with 100 people as a capital, 500 people as a battalion, which is also called a command, and 500 people as a small army.

The highest official in the capital is the head of the capital.

The highest officer of the battalion is called the battalion commander, also known as the army commander.

The highest officer of the small army is called the commander of the army.

The third small army has five battalions under its jurisdiction, No.11 to No.15.

Most of the subordinates of this third small army are veterans, there are bandits and refugees, they have fought many battles, and they are the most ruthless in search.

But these people are fine on the battlefield, but once they are stationed, they are in a mess. No one is convinced by the battalion commander's words, and they can't hold down the soldiers below. As for the capital, they are useless.

The leader of the third small army is called Pan Zhong. He was born in the green forest. He has some martial arts skills.

He was the leader of the entire Third Small Army who had a bit of prestige, and the battalion commander and the head of the capital couldn't share it with him, so they simply let him go. As long as he could go to the battlefield, everything else was optional.

The five battalions below are all good at making money. They are the weakest among the veterans in war, and the strongest in making money among all the bandit troops. They are very famous under Wang Qing's command.

Zhao Tun led 2000 men out of the city and went straight to the third army. The third army was stationed in the north of the city, with five battalions lined up side by side.

Yu Shunshui was leading the way at the moment, pointing to one of the camps and said, "General, that's No.14 Battalion!"

Zhao Tang narrowed his eyes to look at the camp, but there was not even a sentry standing in front of the gate, and he could hear the commotion inside from a distance.

Yu Shunshui said: "General, there is no one in front of the door, they are either eating wine or gambling inside, if you go in now, you will definitely be caught!"

Zhao Tang glanced at Jun Ding behind him, all of them were eager to try, and their eyes were a little red.

He laughed and said, "Boys, listen to my general's order. After entering the camp, arrest all 500 people, and let none of them go!"

The soldiers said yes one after another, Zhao Tun nodded and said, "Enter the camp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two thousand soldiers rushed over behind him, calculating mentally but not intentionally, 2000 men were enough to catch 500 men, Zhao Tama was not worried about any accidents.

The tent in front of him immediately became chaotic, Zhao Tang looked at the impatient Yu Shunshui, got off his horse and said, "Follow me, general, go in and have a look!"

Yu Shunshui nodded hastily: "Your Majesty's order!"

When they entered the first main village, they saw that it was a mess inside, with wine jars and gambling utensils lying on the ground, and the soldiers of the [-]th Battalion, who were framed with swords and guns, refused to accept it at all, and they were all yelling at each other.

Zhao Tang frowned, Yu Shunshui observed his words, and immediately stepped forward to slap the person who scolded the most ruthlessly, the person was beaten until the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and then he restrained himself.

Zhao Tong looked around and said, "Where's the battalion commander of the [-]th Battalion?"

This tent is a big tent, logically speaking, the battalion commander needs to sit here every day, but right now let alone the battalion commander, he can't even see his head, the big tent has become a place for the soldiers to drink and gamble.

No one spoke below, the soldiers of the [-]th Battalion looked at me and I looked at you, all of them were stuck in their necks.

Yu Shunshui shouted: "The general was ordered to inspect the internal and external barracks. If you ask where your battalion commander is, who would dare not answer?"

These people still didn't speak, and it took a long time for the drunk man to mutter: "What general, what a fart of inspection, why didn't I see him when I was fighting in the battlefield!"

Zhao Tun heard the words and said calmly: "Come here, kill them all!"

"Ah?" As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned. Although they knew that Zhao Tun had the right to kill first and play later, they didn't expect it to be so direct and ruthless.

Among the two thousand soldiers led by Zhao Tang, four were headed, and one of them entered the big tent, his heart trembled when he heard this, but he dared not disobey his orders, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Observe the order!"

He stepped forward and chopped off the head of the bad-mouthed bandit soldier with a knife, and the other soldiers also stepped forward to kill indiscriminately when they saw this.

Some soldiers of the [-]th Battalion saw that the situation was not good and were about to shout "forgive me", but there was no such thing as a sharp knife. In just a moment, they were killed in the big tent until blood flowed like a river.

Zhao Tang looked at his subordinates and said: "Take these leaders up, go to each tent to arrest people, and kill all those who disobey!"

The soldiers got the order and left the camp one after another. After about a quarter of an hour, they brought out all the people from the [-]th battalion and gathered them outside the tent.

Almost all the soldiers of the [-]th Battalion were disheveled and reeked of alcohol, and some of them were still unconvinced even after seeing the heads, clamoring to win back the money they lost, obviously gambling crazy.

Zhao Tun glanced slowly, and said, "Which one is the battalion commander?"

Yu Shunshui hastily stepped forward and grabbed one person, saying: "General, this kid is, when we found him, he was hanging out with a little girl, and the little girl yelled nasty words, and was chopped off by the villain!"

Zhao Tang looked at the battalion commander and said, "Are you convicted?"

How could the battalion commander dare to argue at this moment, he said submissively: "I am guilty, I am guilty."

Zhao Tong said: "Tie it up!"

Then, he looked at the soldiers again: "Are you guilty?"

Some of the soldiers bowed their heads and remained silent, some looked to the side, although they knew that Zhao Tang had really killed someone, but they always thought how dare they kill all of them standing here, but no one answered.

Zhao Tong sneered and said, "Yu Shunshui, where is your neighbor?"

Yu Shunshui pointed to a person in the front team and said, "General, that's the one with the pointed head!"

Zhao Tong said: "Find out and let him and the conductor write the crime together!"

Yu Shunshui immediately rushed forward and dragged the pointed-headed thief out, and the thief scolded Yu Shunshui for eating inside and out.

Yu Shunshui stretched out his hand and slapped him: "I ate King Huai's food, and I was on the general's job. I even ate your food, but I remember clearly that you scolded the privy envoy."

The sharp-headed thief was taken aback when he heard this, and then his voice of cursing couldn't help but lowered.

Zhao Tong said: "This person's confession needs to be more detailed. He should reveal all the deeds and deceptions of the [-]th Battalion. If there is something to hide, this general will not kill him here, and just send it to the privy envoy!"

Yu Shunshui immediately said "yes" when he heard the words, and then slapped the pointed head: "Did you hear what the general said? If you write well, you may save your life. If you write poorly, I will send you to the Privy Council for questioning!"

The sharp head's face immediately changed drastically. He was not afraid of dying on the battlefield. At worst, he would get a big scar when he closed his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Yu Shunshui suddenly said in a low voice: "We are old neighbors, we escaped from our hometown together, how can I really harm you? You should write a confession carefully and truthfully report the facts in the barracks. I beg in front of the general, I don’t need to go to the Privy Council, maybe I can take this opportunity to get promoted.”

The sharp-headed thief didn't know that Yu Shunshui was half-coaxing and half-deceiving at this moment, but he had no other way, so he said: "I can't read, how can I write a confession?"

Yu Shunshui said: "You dictate what you say, and when the time comes, you will mark it. With so many people watching, how can you hide it from you!"

The sharp-headed bandit had no choice but to nod, and was taken aside to confess.

At this moment, Zhao Tang glanced at the soldiers behind him, and said loudly: "Boys, the Fourteenth Battalion violated the military law, and there must be evidence hidden in the tent. Let me search the tent for the general!"

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately became excited and ran towards the tents everywhere.

At this moment, a roar came from far away from the fence: "Where did you soldiers come from? How dare you search Lao Tzu's camp!"
