Bright Sword: I am Li Yunlong's old squad leader

Wang Tianyou walked out of the camp, and Wei Dayong and others quickly followed.

From conversations with these women, Wang Tianyou learned that the Ma family army was capturing able-bodied men everywhere.

"Where is the main force of the Ma family army?"

"It's 50 miles from here. There are tens of thousands of these beasts."

Wei Dayong became excited when he heard this: "Captain, you once told us that the best defense is offense.

Give me a few hundred brothers, and I will lead them to attack their lair right now."

Long Wenjian quickly shook his head: "Captain, all is fair in war. Who knows if these women are in the same group with the Ma family army?"

The women immediately became anxious when they heard this and burst into tears.

Li Yunlong: "I think what these women said doesn't seem to be false.

Old squad leader, I also agree to take the initiative."

Wang Tianyou: "Long Wenjian, Wei Dayong, each of you will lead a team of scouts to scout in the direction the woman mentioned, and bring your radio transmitters.

Report to me immediately if anything happens.”

"Yes..." Wei Dayong and Long Wenjian whistled quickly, and rode away at lightning speed with their men on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

……

Ma Hongkui's residence.

"General, we captured all the able-bodied men in the vicinity, and only managed to gather 28,000 men in total."

Ma Dayuan shrank his neck as he reported.

Ma Hongkui walked up to the newly captured men with a horsewhip in hand.

Half of these able-bodied men are children.

When these children were captured, they witnessed with their own eyes their homes being destroyed and their mothers and sisters being abused by this group of Ma's troops.

What they had experienced made the children look terrified and they didn't know what to do. Some of them burst into tears.

Ma Hongkui frowned when he heard this. He took out his pistol and pointed it at the forehead of the child who was crying the loudest and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

Bang, bang, bang... After a few gunshots, these children, aged fourteen or fifteen, fell to the ground with their heads smashed into pieces.

The bright red blood mixed with the pale brain matter was scattered everywhere.

When the others saw this, they quickly stopped crying.

They covered their mouths one by one and trembled all over.

Ma Hongkui put away his pistol and said, "Gawads, welcome to join the Ma Army. Here you will have food, drink and women.

Stop thinking about your dead relatives and the home that I have burned down. "

"You will just be a pauper there."

"Follow me, and I will give you food and drink.

I will let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and enjoy endless wealth and women from now on."

Ma Hongkui, wearing leather boots, walked back and forth among the crowd.

This guy walked while threatening the young men who had just been captured.

At this time, Ma Dayuan came over with a dozen strong men.

Ma Hongkui glanced at these able-bodied men, and Ma Dayuan quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in front of him.

With a snap, Ma Hongkui swung the whip in the air.

"Men, these dozen newly captured men don't know what's good for them. They actually dared to run away. Someone come and hang them upside down on the tree."

After hearing this, Ma Dayuan snapped his fingers, and soon, the dozen people were hung upside down on the tree.

These dozen people knew what they would face next.

The dozen or so people quickly begged for mercy.

"General, please forgive me. I was blinded by lard and I shouldn't have run away."

"General, please forgive me this time. From now on, I will follow you with all my heart."

"Please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again."

"General, you have a broad mind."

"General, please forgive me this time."

The dozen or so escaped strong men were hung upside down on the tree. Soon their foreheads became swollen and their faces turned red.

Ma Hongkui waved the whip in his hand and walked towards the dozen people step by step.

"Young men, have you all listened carefully? There are no rules without rules."

"These dozen people dared to betray me. I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart unless I kill them."

Ma Hongkui turned around and looked at the newly captured men in front of him: "Today I give this task to you. Whoever dares not to do it will be punished.

I just hung him on a tree and skinned him."

Ma Hongkui snapped his fingers, and each of the more than 20,000 people who were captured was holding a stick.

"Listen to me, you boys. Walk up to these traitors and beat them hard with the sticks in your hands. If anyone dares not to beat them hard, I will beat him to death."

The more than 20,000 people formed more than a dozen teams, wielded sticks, and hit the dozen or so able-bodied men who were fleeing.

Soon, screams were heard at the scene.

All the captured young men knew that Ma Hongkui was cruel and ruthless and could do anything.

Those who were captured were all able-bodied men, so how could any of them not do their best?

The dozen or so people who were hung upside down on the tree were soon covered in blood.

The screams, wails and cries made it sound like hell on earth.

Anyone who dared not hit hard would be whipped directly in the face.

"Gawads, I am very satisfied with your performance. Now, each of you pick up a knife and stab these dozen people."

Ma Hongkui's meaning was very clear, which was to let these newly captured young men see blood.

After seeing the blood, these strong men were no longer afraid.

Soon, each of the more than 20,000 people was given a saber, and many of them hesitated and dared not step forward.

Ma Dayuan: "If you dare not do anything, I will hang you on a tree in a while and let everyone stab you."

When everyone heard this, how could they not step forward?

Soon, the screams were heard again.

The dozen or so people who were hung upside down on the tree were pierced like sieves, and their blood had drained out completely.

Ma Hongkui ordered the Ma family army to check each one of them, and if there was anyone who was not doing his job conscientiously, he would be dragged out and shot on the spot.

Half an hour later, the dozen people hanging on the tree were all turned into pieces of meat.

Ma Hongkui was slightly satisfied at this point: "Gawads, I am very satisfied with your performance today. Someone serve them food, a big bowl of meat for each of them. And give each of them two scallion pancakes.

After they finish eating, share the opium among them, so that everyone can smoke some and relax. "

In a word, the captured strong men must be obedient and have food and water. If they dare to escape, they will be caught and killed.

The Ma family army used this method to control the people.

Soon, more than a dozen large carriages arrived, loaded with wooden barrels, each filled with steaming meat.

It was a day of fear for everyone, and they quickly gathered around the carriage.

A dozen reconnaissance cavalrymen galloped over from a distance.

When they saw Ma Hongkui, they quickly dismounted from their horses.
