Chapter 273 I was ordered to supervise the beheading, please allow the execution (addition for Brother Meng)
On the eighth day of May, near noon, in front of the Martial Arts Hall in the south of Dushikou Fort.

One hundred bandits tied up in five flowers all knelt on the west side, and behind them were two hundred mighty armored soldiers, two sergeants guarding one bandit.

To the south are the officials and generals of Kaipingwei and Dushibao, such as the commander Tongzhi Jin Xinpeng and others. There is a chair behind him. However, he did not sit down at this time, but joined He Biao, looking Standing majestically.

After Zhang Cheng rode his horse to give a lecture, he went around the field again, and then came to the entrance of the martial arts hall, got off his horse, walked to the front chair of the Grand Master, and said to Chen Zhong: "Order to take those criminals who have not committed crimes to the east. Face to face punishment!"

After finishing speaking, he sat on the chair. After Chen Zhong took the order, he turned around and yelled a few times, and the 400 armored cavalry turned over and dismounted in unison.

After they got off their horses, a hundred knights led their horses back to the Martial Arts Hall, and the remaining 300 people stood in the south, west, and north directions to maintain order in all parties.

Seeing Zhang Cheng sitting down, Jin Xinpeng breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside Zhang Cheng. He said softly, "General, Jin Jincheng is very good at managing the army. I hope he can help the general."

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng turned around and said, "Lord Jin, don't worry, I won't treat him badly."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking. At this time, as Chen Zhong conveyed Zhang Cheng's military order, a dark crowd came from the east, and Zhang Guangda walked in the front with one eye staring at him.

Behind him, Tong Shoushan, Zhou Zhouping, Wang Tieren, Cui Shijie and others each led a hundred armored sergeants and escorted more than 500 people in a dense crowd.

These are all bandits from various hilltops. They have not committed many crimes. Zhang Cheng asked them to watch the beheading, so as to frighten their hearts, so that they can be used by me. 50 of them were tied into a string with hemp rope, and there were ten rows in total. There.

He Biao came forward in a red official robe, and said in a deep voice: "General, today we have captured the head of the bandit and hundreds of bandits, and we plan to execute them by beheading. "

"Take it, cut it up!"

Zhang Cheng gave a loud shout and threw a golden command arrow to He Biao.

After Zhenfu He Biao received the order, he strode towards the west, and twenty Zhenfu sergeants also followed behind him with cold faces.

Following He Biao's order, ten of the bandits on the west side were immediately pushed out to the middle, one of the two sergeants pressed them to the ground, and the other pulled the bandits' long hair.

Another ten armored sergeants stepped forward with big swords in their arms, stood beside each bandit, swung the big swords in their hands to compare the distance, and then hugged them back to their arms.

At this moment, another ten soldiers stepped forward, and each of them held a bowl of wine in their hands. They came to the bandits, took a sip, took it in their mouths, and sprayed it between the necks of the ten bandits. .

Then he took another sip of strong wine, and the sergeant next to him raised the big knife in his arms into the air, and they sprayed the strong wine in their mouths on the big knife vigorously.

After everything was finished, the team leader ran to the supervisor He Biao and reported loudly: "Everything is ready, please order the execution!"

"Execution!"

He Biao shouted orders.

"cut!"

The execution team officer ran back and shouted again.

Under the sunlight, big knives fluttered in the air, streams of bright red blood splashed, heads rolled to the ground one by one, and exclamations came from all directions.

…………

Not to mention the military households in the north who came to watch the excitement out of curiosity, even the thugs who were kneeling on the west side waiting to be executed were also crying for their parents and howling in grief.

They have no backbone at all, they bully men and women on weekdays, if they really come to a critical moment, they will run away first one by one. into one piece.

Seeing that Xi Bian was flustered, He Biao turned around and glared angrily. He waved his hand and said, "Shut up!"

The twenty appeasement sergeants behind him dashed away with big sticks in their hands, smashing them, and the wailing gangsters suddenly became quiet. Although some of them were still crying softly, they didn't dare to let out any more wailing. cry.

Following the shouts of orders, another ten bandits were escorted to the center. The same procedure went through again, and under the same order, another ten heads rolled to the ground.

The military households watching the bustle outside Nanguan covered their mouths and let out exclamations, and some timid ones had already started to back away.

People are like this, before they see some things, they are very curious, and they don't even believe it, but when they really see it, they often can't accept it.

Today, when I heard that the new guard general was going to behead all the bandits captured outside Nanguan, each one of them ran to the south of the castle to observe the beheading with curiosity.

But when they really saw the bloody scene, they all jumped up in fright. They looked at the human heads that rolled to the ground, and then at Zhang Cheng who was sitting firmly opposite, with a gloomy expression.

Everyone was as silent as a cicada and did not dare to make a sound, even those military households who were extremely frightened just squeezed back quietly, not too hard at all.

"Oh, I said...slippery, you're usually quite horizontal...why did you squeeze back..."

"Which one backed off... shit... you idiot..."

…………

"This...cut all these people at once...isn't it..."

Cao Jinwang's voice trembled a little.

"Well, Mr. Zhang is not simple. As far as this boldness is concerned, Liu Zhi is convinced."

The governor Liu Zhi's tone was a bit calmer, after all, that's what he did, but it was the first time he saw that hundreds of people would be beheaded in one battle today.

"Master Jin, beheading more than a hundred people at one time, isn't that too heavy?"

Xue Liangqing, the commander of Kaipingwei, had no trace of blood on his face. He was usually aloof, and he hadn't seen such a bloody scene for many years. He only felt extremely dull in his chest, as if he had a breath of stale air, which was very uncomfortable.

"Hmph, these bandits have troubled my North Road for many years. I wanted to cut them off a long time ago, but I regret that I can't do it. Today, General Zhang helped me achieve my wish. It is really a blessing for my soldiers and people in the North Road!"

The commander's colleague Jin Xinpeng said that Xue Liangqing was dizzy. He only felt dizzy before his eyes. What's wrong?
Didn't Jin Tongzhi have always been brooding about Zhang Cheng's coming to North Road? Why did he suddenly change his attitude? The more he thought about it, the more irritable he felt inside. A whitish, a reddish.

Jin Xinpeng squinted at Xue Liangqing, saw that his huge fat face was covered with beads of sweat, and his whole body seemed to be shaking uncontrollably, and cursed in his heart: such a short-sighted person, such a waste, dares to think of overthrowing him. A ruthless person like Zhang Cheng?
