After stabilizing Li Rusong, Xiao Ruxun pointed the knife at the deserters who were kneeling on the ground with a panic look on their faces.

He asked sternly, "Come on the truth immediately, what's going on in Zijing Pass! If there is a lie, you will all die!"

The deserters had no choice but to let small deserters stand up and answer this question.

"General, Zijing Pass is still in our hands, Admiral Li is still in our hands, we all escaped, the Mongolians are too fierce, we...we are not their opponents at all!

We could only be beaten to death by the Mongols at Zijing Pass. We took a step back and were killed by Admiral Li’s supervisory team. We really had no way to survive, so we could only escape at night. General, please spare your life, general, please spare your life!"

The small deserter knelt in front of Xiao Ruxun, hugged Xiao Ruxun's calves and begged for mercy. Xiao Ruxun raised his legs and kicked the small deserter away, staring at the group of deserters coldly.

"As soldiers, what crime should you be guilty of escaping before the battle? You should be clear. I don't believe you don't know what crime is for escaping before the battle!"

The soldiers felt panic and quickly begged for mercy.

"General, it's not that we don't want to fight. The Mongols are so fierce. They have artillery and trespasses. They are so terrible. We can't beat them!"

"A step back, those supervisors will come up to kill us. Where can we live?"

"We can't eat enough and wear warmth. When we open our eyes, we will fight. We really can't stand it!"

"They don't treat us as human beings at all, they know how to kill people. How could we go to fight if we can't even eat enough? Many generals killed the Mongolians with bed crossbows, and died in front of us. We must not be able to defend them!"

"The Mongolians ride horses, we only have two legs. If we don't run now, how can we run after the Zijing is finished in the future!"

Xiao Ruxun had a cold face, and the more he heard, the more angry he became.

"Enough! Stop me all! A bunch of cowards! Where is the military judge?!"

Xiao Ruxun shouted, and the military law clerk in the army hurriedly stepped out.

"exist!"

"According to the military laws of the Ming Dynasty, what should the sergeant escape and abandon the commander at the last minute?"

"According to the law, you should be killed!"

Xiao Ruxun swept through these soldiers who were crying and shouting in a bad mood, and deeply understood what psychological collapse was hopeless. These people would not only go back to promote the ferocity of the Mongols, but also cause more people to fear the Mongols, causing a terrible chain reaction, and may even have affected the morale of the military!

Xiao Ruxun's intention to kill suddenly arose.

"Since ancient times, deserters should be killed, and there is no forgiveness! The person who came and pulled them out with me and killed them!"

The deserters widened their eyes.

"No!! No! No! No, General! Please spare me! Please spare me!"

"General, please spare me! Please spare me!"

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"I am the slave of the Duke of Dingguo! I am the Duke of Dingguo! You can't kill me! You can't kill me!"

Some deserters were scared and kept begging for mercy, with shit and urine all over the ground, some deserters stood up and tried to escape, blocked by the Liaodong army, and some people were even scared and said brutally that they were slaves in the noble family. Who can tell the difference between true and false?

"Admiral, what should I do? What if they really are..."

Looking at the chaotic scene, the military law clerk looked embarrassed.

"What if? No, there is no! Duke Dingguo is a descendant of General Xu Da. General Xu Da is a hero and a founding father of the Ming Dynasty. He has made an unparalleled contribution to reviving Yanjing from the north. How could such a heroic hero have such a cowardly slave who escaped at the fortress? Where is the deputy general?!"

Xiao Ruxun's deputy general immediately left the list.

"The last one will be here!"

"Where is the gunman?!"

More than a hundred guard gunmen were out of the list.

"exist!"

Xiao Ruxun waved his hand

"Execute all! No one is left!"

"promise!"

The deputy general immediately obeyed the order and raised his hand.

"The gunner obeys the order! Raise the gun!"

The gunmen immediately raised the flintlock gun in their hands.

"put!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang

A gunshot brought out a piece of smoke, and the smoke disappeared, and the howling was gone, leaving only a corpse.

"If you find another deserter on the way to march, no matter who you are, you can kill him!"

Xiao Ruxun issued a new military order and immediately sent the entire army.

"promise!"

The entire army obeyed the order.

The army then rectified and set off again after two quarters of an hour.

After witnessing Xiao Ruxun's strict military law with his own eyes, Li Rusong and Nurhaci also recalled how Xiao Ruxun punished the Liaodong soldiers who harassed North Korean women and beat North Korean officials on the Korean battlefield, and they were immediately in awe.

The news of Xiao Ruxun shooting and killing deserters soon spread throughout the army. The Liaodong Army and the Jurchen cavalry were also in awe. The military discipline was solemn. Considering the prestige at the beginning, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army became more and more awe of Xiao Ruxun, and their military appearance was solemn and their morale was solemn.

The beginning of the 26th year of Wanli began with blood and killing.

Coincidentally, the same blood and killings were going on all the time around Zijing Pass. The Mongolians had no Han people to spend the New Year, and of course they would not give Han people the chance to celebrate the New Year. It was obviously a big night, from Li Chengliang to an ordinary soldier, but each of them had a bowl of wine.

And when drinking at this time, whether to celebrate the New Year or numb yourself with alcohol so that you don’t feel so scared, everyone has their own scale in their hearts. Therefore, many people are extremely confused about drinking this wine.

Li Chengliang cannot be confused, he cannot be confused no matter what. Once he is confused, the big things will be bad. He insists on being sober and staying with the soldiers every day. Despite encountering dangers many times, Old Li still did not retreat. This allowed the defenders of Zijing Pass to maintain the minimum order and courage, and ensure the safety of Zijing Pass.

As the main executor, Chai Guozhu's voice has long been hoarse and has not been able to rest well. Now he can't speak any sound. Once he encounters something anxious and gets angry, he will hear him making a leaky sound, which looks very funny.

But where would anyone watch his comedy now?

Chai Guozhu couldn't speak, so he used practical actions to express his presence.

Cooperating with his strong spirit and physical strength, Chai Guozhu rushed wherever he encountered an emergency. The death rate of the guards under his command was as high as 70% to 80%. In the past half a month, several guards around him had been replaced, and there were 30 to 40 Mongols killed, but the Mongols had never retreated and were still arrogant and fierce.

Fortunately, the Mongols' offensive has been getting slower and weaker recently. At first, they had to attack once every hour. After being repelled by the Ming army, they quickly regrouped and attacked. Now they only attacked once or twice a day, and the offensive strength is not strong.
