Chapter 607 Interrogation
His eyes fell on the equipment that was delivered. Zhou Xu picked up one of the swords and flicked the blade. He listened to the sound and felt the texture. Needless to say, it was iron. Made sword.
At the same time, like them, he also put up a round shield, which was also made of hardwood covered with iron.
Obviously, the other party didn't know what was going on here, so they sent more practical sword and shield soldiers to explore the way.
After that, Zhou Xu’s eyes fell on the opponent’s armor.
The first impression is...
[It looks like a mahjong table. 】
He reached out and picked it up, it was unexpectedly light. He had already suspected it when he saw it before. Now when he reached out and touched it, Zhou Xu was completely confirmed.
“This armor is made of wood strung together.”
“It is also made of iron sheets.”
While speaking, Shi Lei respectfully handed a set of armor to Zhou Xu's eyes.
In terms of design, they are made the same as mahjong mats. The difference is that this set is made of iron sheets, which is much heavier and stronger.
"Is there only one set of this armor?"
"Yes, it should be the general on the opposite side who was captured by us, that is, the one with 10,000 troops."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu suddenly knew something.
When there is not enough iron, it is not a strange operation to invest the iron in making weapons and some generals' armors first, and let the soldiers below use cheap wooden armors.
In comparison, all of their members, Da Zhou, have scale armor made of iron, and their weapons are crystal iron weapons. From this point of view, they have an advantage in both weapons and armor. of.
Of course, this does not ensure that the other party is weaker than them.
Because there is a very key factor here, and that is military strength.
Does the Rat Man have enough equipment? Even those rat slave soldiers didn't even have weapons or armor, so why could they fight like that with the lizardmen?
Because there are so many of them!
With the Lizardmen troops unable to get through, if there are really 10,000 troops on the other side, even if the soldiers underneath are all wearing wooden armor, it will still be a huge threat that cannot be ignored.
As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on those equipments.
“Melt all this iron and use it to make crystal iron weapons.”
“Yes!”
After destroying the path-exploring troops on the opposite side, Shi Lei naturally did not dare to make any decisions on how to deal with the weapons and equipment on the opposite side, and had been waiting for their king's order.
Compared with the beginning, the mining efficiency at Tieshan Mine has improved a lot.
But considering that the mountain road is difficult to walk, transportation efficiency is still a big problem. It is also a good thing to pick up a batch of ready-made iron for free.
“Let’s go and see the three prisoners.”
In order to prevent the three prisoners from colluding with each other, they were isolated one by one from the day they were captured. Come on, put in solitary confinement.
Through the observation window, Zhou Xu glanced inside. Everyone looked sallow, thin, and unkempt.
Throw it on the roadside and put a broken bowl in front of them, basically no different from beggars.
It is different from the prisoners who were taken back as hard labor after the primitive tribes were taken away. In order to prevent these prisoners from the enemy from causing trouble when they are full, they are only given one big cake a day. and three bowls of water.
After more than two months of this, while my body became weak, my spirit also became trance-like.
In the simple eye contact with Shi Lei, Zhou Xu knew that the person in the pass was the enemy general who said he had 10,000 troops.
[Eye of Insight. 】
As soon as the mantra was opened, the opponent's panel immediately unfolded in front of Zhou Xu's eyes.
After scanning, all the five-dimensional attributes are two stars. Looking at this alone, it can be regarded as a very ordinary two-star character, but the opponent has the talent of being a "good hand with a knife".
Coupled with this talent, this guy's bravery level should be in the upper reaches of the two-star level.
Zhou Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with using such a character as a general of the path-exploring force.
Over the past two years, he has become more and more aware that he was simply lucky from the beginning. There are very few three-star roles in this world, let alone four-star or five-star roles.
With a good talent, even a character with two stars in five-dimensional attributes is enough to distance himself from ordinary two stars.
Obviously, even if they are both two stars, there is still a difference between good and bad. When he passed by before, he had seen the other two. They were very ordinary two-stars, and their talents were incomparable to this one.
The focus right now is how to pry open this guy's mouth, let the other party tell the truth, and let them obtain useful intelligence information.
Zhou Xu is really not very good at this matter.
Don’t forget, he was originally a good citizen with comprehensive development of intelligence, body, art and work in a civilized society! What good citizen would be good at interrogating and torturing prisoners?
Of course, when he was watching TV and reading novels, he had tentatively learned some interrogation and torture methods, but he had already taught them all to Shi Lei and the others. Now he really doesn't know what to do. .
Standing outside the cell, Zhou Xu thought about it carefully.
[Maybe, you can try that. 】
"Shi Lei, ask someone to get the dripper, and then find a shelf and a chair..."
As his thoughts were whirling, Zhou Xu whispered to Shi Lei.
After Shi Lei agreed, he quickly gave instructions.
During this period, Zhou Xu also asked someone to open the cell, intending to question the prisoner again.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man's eyes that were slumped in the straw of the cell were slightly focused.
The first thought that flashed through his mind was...
[Is it time for dinner? 】
There is no way, since he was imprisoned here, except for the initial interrogation, for nearly two months, he did not only eat, but also slept in a daze, and he was not full after eating.
After being cleared like this, his will has been worn away for a long time. He didn't even notice that the other party called him by his real name, and what he said before was always a pseudonym.
"Shang Xijun."
When he heard someone calling his name, Shang Xijun subconsciously raised his head and looked at Zhou Xu standing there, with a confused look on his face.
"Give you one last chance. How many troops do you have in your country? Recruit them truthfully."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu appropriately offered some benefits.
“If you cooperate, I can promise to grant you the status of a citizen of Dazhou and a sum of money. While gaining freedom, you can also survive without worries about food and clothing in our territory of Dazhou.”< br>
“I have already said it, ten thousand troops.”
"What the other two said is not this number."
"Those two little soldiers know nothing."
"..."
[I have no idea. Be true to your word. 】
Of course, thinking about it, Zhou Xu would not let him go just like that.
"But you said before that you didn't know. The ten thousand troops were just a guess. How come you are so sure that there are ten thousand troops now?"
Hearing this, Shang Xijun's expression finally changed.
Long-term detention has tortured his spirit. When people are weak-willed, they often lose their initial meticulousness and even make some low-level mistakes.
"I, I guessed."
"No, your tone just now was very sure, and you said it without thinking at all. This doesn't look like a guess."
< br>
While talking, Shi Lei walked up.
"Your Majesty, the things are ready."
Zhou Xu nodded, and then his eyes fell on Shang Xijun's face again.
At this moment, there was obvious uneasiness on the other party's face.
“You, what do you want to do?”
"Go, tie him to a chair, blindfold his eyes and plug his ears."
Zhou Xu gave the order, and the two soldiers next to him immediately executed it. The weak Shang Xijun was unable to resist at all.
After that, with the falling of the first drop of water, the interrogation officially began!
