FIELD EXPEDIENTS

Various executions

   Lacking anything high enough to use as a gallows she was hung sideways. Her feet lashed to a outcropping or rock and the noose around her head was hooked to a block and tackle attached to another. Her hands were tied securely to her sides. As  her breasts heaved with  her last breaths the men pulled the slack out of the tackle and the noose tightened.  She fought hard but within a few seconds her throat was squeezed shut. Her body fought as it was stretched between the two immoveable rocks. Unable to kick she was forced to flop like a fish out of water as her lungs tried to find the air she needed so badly. Although it had to have seemed an eternity to her in reality she lasted only a minute or two before the noose quieted her  struggles. She lived somewhat longer but her last few minutes were spent slowly using her last reserves. Without the needed air to fight she just laid there slowly dying. Once she stilled the block was tied off and she was left until morning. In the cold light of a new day she was released from the fatal ropes and her body left for whatever scavenger that might find it. 

    We were short of shot so I was loathe to shoot the dumb bitch even though that was what the regulations demanded. Then I realized that we did have lots of powder. We were in trouble because the porter carrying our shot had fallen off the edge of the trail but the one carrying our extra powder had made the trip without mishap. I had her tied to a table in a wrecked farmhouse. She was on her back with her feet tied up and spread wide to the sides. A perfect position for rape and I did think about letting the men have her as payback for the fucking she had given them by failing in her duty but I decided not to. I was the boss and felt it was my duty to carry out the execution, besides doing it myself meant one man could get a bit more much needed rest. My musket was already loaded with a double charge of powder tamped by a large wad of cloth as I walked into the room. Upon seeing me she tried to beg but I had already commanded her gagged so all I heard was muffled noises. I stood between her legs and repeated the death sentence. From where I stood it was fairly clear that some of the other troopers had already expressed their outrage at her actions and had not been gentle about it. Once she had been pretty and she had always used it to get what she wanted. Now her nose was broken and perhaps her cheek as well. She had a very good start on a pair of black eyes. Both sides of her torso had still darkening bruises. Her left tit looked like someone had stomped on it. The ropes holding her were much tighter that they had to be and her legs were spread way too far for her comfort. I was proud to note that she had not been raped, I’ve got a good troop and the men would not insult the few remaining female troopers by doing so. Although I suspected a few of the women might have held a leg and made helpful comments without such help few of the men would have taken such action. I inserted the muzzle of my weapon into her cunt and shoved it in as deeply as it would go without a point. At the double click of the hammer being drawn back she started to fight and sob. It was useless, she was tied much too tight to have any hope of interfering. I said “Goodbye bitch” as I pulled the trigger. The shot was strangely quiet. Her belly bulged for just a second as the powder gasses entered her body. Her large tits jumped as the shock wave passed upward through her guts. Her mouth opened wide enough even with the gag that blood and tissue was blown out. More was expelled from her ass and nose. By the time the room quieted from the shot her she was dead even if her body continued to twitch and gurgle for a while. We salvaged the rope but left her body. Maybe some of the farm cats needed a good meal.  
    
    She came running back by my position. I had almost expected something like this and was ready. Sue had always been a coward. Now she had fled in the face of the enemy and it was my duty to execute her on the spot. Normally she would have been shot but since the whole idea at the time was to sneak by the Norwich troops unseen there was a problem. Instead I butt stroked her in the belly as she went by. She folded up and went down gasping for breath. I kicked her over onto her back and slammed the butt on my rifle down to crush her throat. I left her clawing at her ruined throat and choking to death. Within in a short time she would either be dead or captured. Given what the Norwich men would do to her I hoped she would die before she was found but I was just being nice. Either way she would no longer be a danger to us

    Irregular troops always have their own special problems and this bunch was no exception. We had gotten hit hard last night and had to disperse to evade. Now we were grouped at the rally point and were fairly safe for the time being. While we regrouped and counted our losses I found out what in hell had gone wrong. There was this bull dyke and her little bitch that were supposed to be on guard and instead of paying attention to duty had been busy carpet munching. They were seen by two others but by then it was too late and the enemy was in position to ambush us. I had just finished getting the story from the others when who should show up but our two love birds. I had both of them secured and convened a field court at once. Within minutes they had been found guilty and sentenced to death. It sounds harsh but the truth of the matter was we really had no choice. We were under the gun and had limited choices. We couldn’t just kick them loose,  they would have been picked up quickly and they knew too much about out plans and to tell the truth I didn’t trust the to keep their mouths shut. We really couldn’t keep then with us either. Nobody would trust then again so they were finished as fighters and we had no way to handle prisoners so they had to die. Normally they would have been shot or hanged but we did not dare risk the sound of shots and there were no handy trees or gallows around. I decided to let the rest of the troops work off their anger at the pair. I had them tied to small saplings and we used them for bayonet practice. Before they died each one was stabbed at least thirty times and I noticed that not one of those doing the stabbing aimed for a fatal spot. I had some pissed off troops  I tell you. It took almost an hour to kill them but it was time well spent if the comments I heard were any indication. We never had any trouble with sentries after that either. 

    It was quick and dirty but it worked. We just forced her to place her head on a large flat rock and while we held her naked body in place the biggest guy took one of the engineer hammers and smashed her skull. He blew the first swing and just grazed her head but the second try did the job. Her skull exploded and sent blood and brains flying all over the place. Messy but effective out the ass.
