Most of the horse bandits are people with perverse personalities. After being whipped, not only did they not become honest, but they aroused their ferocity.
Several horse bandits tried to snatch the whips from Tan Zaiwang and other cavalrymen. Some even had their whips taken away and were beaten by the bandits.
boom!
The gunfire sounded, and the horse bandits who were snatching riding whips from the cavalry all let go and retreated, looking in the direction of the sound.
They saw a horse bandit covering his chest with a look of disbelief in his eyes. Blood overflowed from his fingers, soaking into the clothes on his chest, and finally he collapsed on the ground, motionless.
Opposite him, Tan Zaiwang held a blunderbuss in his hand, with the muzzle pointing forward.
"Whoever takes one step closer will be punished." Tan Zaiwang said coldly.
The cavalry around him all replaced their riding whips with muskets and pointed them at the horse bandits in front of them.
The horse bandits who had been causing trouble just now retreated one after another, looking nervously at Tan Zaiwang and the other cavalry, including the muskets in their hands.
Soon, another group of cavalry and soldiers staying in the camp came over from a distance.
Ma Yunjiu walked at the front, came to Tan Zaiwang, and asked, "What happened?"
Tan Zaiwang pointed his gun at the horse bandits and said, "These people disobeyed orders and started fighting with our people. I killed one of them with my gun."
After hearing this, Ma Yunjiu turned around, looked at the horse bandits in front of him, and said coldly: "Who else took action and stood up on their own?"
No one in the crowd of horse bandits stood up, but some people stepped back. The horse bandits who followed many people did not dare to look directly at Ma Yunjiu.
Ma Yunjiu said again: "If you dare to do it but don't act like it, I will fucking despise this kind of thing. Don't say that I have been a horse bandit in the future. It's embarrassing."
After speaking, he glanced at the horse bandits in front of him.
"What's wrong with me!" A horse bandit couldn't stand the excitement and stood up from the crowd.
"And I." Another horse bandit stood up.
"I've also taken action."
A dozen horse bandits stood up and stared at Ma Yunjiu.
"Catch them all."
Ma Yunjiu waved his hand forward, and the surrounding cavalry and soldiers rushed forward. Two people held down a horse bandit and all the dozen horse bandits in front of them.
Tu La squeezed in from the crowd at this time, quickly came to Ma Yunjiu, and said, "What's going on? Why did you arrest this person?"
Tan Zaiwang on the side explained: "These people disobeyed orders and took action."
Tu La glanced at the corpse of the horse bandit not far away, and after looking away, he said to Ma Yunjiu: "The people are also dead, it's better to forget it. They have just joined the Tiger Flag and don't understand the rules yet."
Ma Yunjiu said coldly: "It doesn't matter if they don't know the rules. Today I will teach them the rules."
"What are Ma Ying planning to do with them?" Tu La asked in a low voice.
Ma Yunjiu glanced at Tu La and said, "I know that among these people there are several of your former brothers, but if they join my Tiger Flag, they must abide by the rules of my Tiger Flag."
"Don't worry, Ma Ying. After we go back, I will make sure they learn the military regulations and make sure they don't make the same mistake again." Tu La begged in a low voice.
Ma Yunjiu said expressionlessly: "If I'm lenient, I'm afraid these people won't have a long memory."
"Ah!" Tu La was stunned for a moment, then said immediately, "Why should everyone be whipped thirty times for such a small thing?"
In his opinion, it was just a few pushes at most, which was not a big deal. Moreover, a horse bandit died, and the people in the Tiger Flag did not suffer. If everyone received thirty lashes, the punishment would be too serious. .
Ma Yunjiu said to Tan Zaiwang: "Tie them all up and kneel here."
"Yes." Tan Zaiwang agreed, turned around and ran to find the rope.
After a short time, he brought back a large bundle of rope, and together with others, tied up the dozen horse bandits who were being held captive one by one.
"Kneel down!" Tan Zaiwang ordered one of the horse bandits.
The horse bandit glanced at Tan Zaiwang contemptuously, then turned away and spat on the ground.
Ma Yunjiu on the other side saw a gun coming from the hands of a soldier on the side, walked up to the horse bandit, turned around and smashed it into the horse bandit's leg.
Only a click was heard, and the horse bandit let out a scream and threw himself to the ground.
When Tu La saw this scene, he raised his eyes.
The other tied horse bandits were all frightened. Needless to say, they knelt on the ground on their own initiative.
Tu La stepped forward and said to Ma Yunjiu: "There are several of my former brothers here. It's better for me to execute it."
Ma Yunjiu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay."
Tu La breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Tan Zaiwang and said, "Give me the riding crop and I will give them thirty lashes myself."
"Who said they were whipped thirty times?" Ma Yunjiu said.
Tu La was stunned for a moment, then said: "If thirty lashes are not enough, then forty lashes are enough. These people dare to fight against the cavalry of the Tiger Flag. They are nothing big or small."
Ma Yunjiu shook his head and said: "Since these people don't take the rules of my tiger-character flag seriously, then they don't have to take them seriously anymore and kill them all."
Tu La glanced at him and said sarcastically: "It's not a big deal. I don't think there's any need to kill people! Why don't we give him dozens more lashes, sixty lashes per person."
"Deputy Tu Yingzheng, if you were a horse bandit in the past and your brothers provoked you and didn't abide by your rules, what would you do?"
Tu La was speechless.
"We don't dare to do it anymore, please let Ma Yingzheng let us go!"
"Let us go, we really won't dare to do it again."
A dozen horse bandits who had been very tough just now were so frightened that they begged for mercy when they heard that they were going to be killed.
Ma Yunjiu turned around, looked at the other horse bandits and said: "Since you have chosen to join my Tiger Flag, you must abide by the rules of my Tiger Flag. If anyone dares to disobey orders or abide by the rules of my Tiger Flag in the future, The fate of these people is execution!”
A dozen soldiers armed with sharp blades raised their knives and slashed the neck of the horse bandit in front of them.
Blood splashed out from the neck cavity, and more than a dozen heads rolled to the ground. The furthest head rolled to the feet of the horse bandit on the opposite side.
The grass blades and mud on the ground were covered with blood, and the smell of blood quickly spread.
Tu La looked at the head on the ground, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he opened his mouth, but no words came out.
The blood and heads on the ground scared off some horse bandits, but it also aroused the ferocity of some horse bandits.
Immediately, a horse bandit stood up, pointed at Ma Yunjiu and said: "Since you Tiger Character Banners don't take my lives seriously, I won't do it anymore, and I won't bear your cowardice."
As he finished speaking, dozens of horse bandits suddenly stood out from the crowd.
"Yes, I won't be angry with you. The grassland is so big, and I don't need a bite of your food."
Several dozen horse bandits shouted sparsely.
Seeing this scene, Ma Yunjiu showed a sneer on his lips.
