Chapter 197 (2/2)
The muscles on Wei Ran's face twitched for a moment. What happened in front of him was very cruel. When the refugees in the wilderness saw the cavalry raising their sabres and rushing, most of them were numb and waiting to die, and a few of them hurriedly fled around with physical strength.
Wei Ran saw the cavalry's saber cut off the heads of the old and weak women and children. The horse's hooves crushed the innocent children's bodies and turned into a mass of dust and mud like a broken pocket.
The elite soldiers who used to talk, laugh and joke with Wei Ran had no mercy when slaughtering these people, and even enjoyed the pleasure of bullying. He drove his horse to encircle and tease the refugees who were really unable to run and had no choice but to kneel down and surrender. When you feel bored, you cut off with a saber and go away.
Wei was angry and choked to his throat. He couldn't help shouting, ”this is the Imperial Army!”
Zhang Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked over. Li Chengye grabbed Wei Ran and pulled him off his horse.
”Disturb the morale of the army, nonsense! Disarm, whip 30! If there is another time, behead to make an example! ”
Before Zhang Zhen spoke, Li Chengye first spoke and dealt with Wei Ran by military law. Otherwise, when Zhang Zhen spoke, the result might not be so.
The military judge took off Wei Ran's armor, pulled off his coat, and beat Wei Ran's vest with a soaked cow whip, one whip at a time. Next to him, another military judge counted out loudly.
Just whipping and treating ordinary soldiers can make him jump into bed for ten days and a half months, but for Wei Ran, it's just a bit of heart piercing pain, that's all.
He knelt on the ground and saw a wide view of the roadside. He saw the cavalry of God's plan who were scattered in formation to hunt down the refugees in the wilderness. These cavalry are worthy of being the elite of the army. Their riding and sabre skills are very exquisite. Their tactical cooperation is extremely tacit. There are no loopholes in the opening and closing attack, and they will never be soft in cold killing.
However, it is really ironic that such elite was used on their own people in the first war since they left the customs.
The dry land was soaked with the blood of thousands of refugees and dyed red, which also red Wei Ran's eyes. He originally thought that since the war, he was to restore rural order, first martial arts and then literature, and sort out the refugees.
But now it seems that to restore the ruling order, it is not relief and governance, but butcher's knife
Soon after, when we arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the whole army was stationed outside the city, local bureaucrats immediately came to work.
Zhang Zhen accepted the invitation and ordered a deputy general to stay in the camp and lead other military staff to the east capital, including Li Chengye.
However, as soon as he entered the gate of Luoyang, a flying horse came and sent an urgent report quickly.
Fan Heng, who was left behind in the eastern capital, hurriedly received the urgent report, but was robbed by the domineering Zhang Zhen. He opened the letter on the spot, only looked at it, and his face changed greatly.
”How can the royal highness of Shouning be so reckless?”
