Chapter 22: The Ancient Generals Are No Different
On the official road, there are only a handful of real corpses, and some are just some stumps and broken arms, and the wailing wounded.
Just now, the rebels were only concerned with chasing and killing the defeated soldiers, and they had no time to pay attention to the people who fell to the ground for the time being, and in addition to those who were trampled to death, there were still one or twenty people still alive.
Whether it is a corpse on the ground, a severed limb or a wounded, it is almost all the fault of those four soy sauce jars.
Instead, the spears and bows on the ground were thrown to the ground, a dozen wagons fell to the side, sacks were scattered, and the mules and horses pulling the carts were long gone.
Qin Yu took the young man back to the official road to take an inventory, and immediately jumped to his feet and scolded, these officers and soldiers are so poor that they don't even have a decent waist knife, almost all of them are spears.
Some spear heads are rusty, more than a dozen broken bows, a little hard pull is estimated to have to break, more than 20 pairs of cotton armor, I don't know how many years old antiques, broken and dirty.
The only estimate of value is the dozen or so carts of grain and tents, about 200 stones.
You can open a few of these bags and take a look.
Oh yes! It is all coarse grain, and there are only a dozen bags of fine grain, which is estimated to be eaten by officers and family members.
Sure enough, there are no good goods cheap, the ancients did not deceive me, and it is impossible for an army to flee in fright.
"Go, look around, see if you can find any horses..."
Qin Yu looked at the broken lasso, and shouted at the young man, it is estimated that the four earth-shattering noises just now made all the mules and horses pulling the cart go crazy.
When the teenagers heard the noise, they hurriedly searched around.
"Oh no, how did you forget about them..."
Qin Yu suddenly slapped his forehead, rushed to one of the small pits, and quickly cut the dirt on it, and several other teenagers also reacted and hurriedly rushed to the other three small pits.
"Wake up... Wake up! β
Looking at the young man who was cowering in the pit, motionless, Qin Yu patted his face vigorously.
"The first... Chief, have you won? β
"Won, won, how? It doesn't matter, right? β
When the boy heard that he had won, he squeezed out a smile, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.
"Carry it away!" Qin Yu was startled, and quickly squatted down to check, and found that he was only injured internally, and there was no worry about his life, so he waved his hand.
The other three teenagers also suffered internal injuries, and one of them even had blood from his ears, Qin Yu didn't expect the power to be so great, and the pit had to be dug farther away in the future.
At this time, the mother and daughter also took the two teenagers to the official road with a worried face, looked at the stump and broken arm on the ground, and squatted on the ground and vomited, Li Wan'er was even more frightened and cried.
And the teenagers who were cleaning on the official road were infected, and they couldn't help it, and they bent down and vomited one by one.
"It's all fucking hypocritical to Lao Tzu, aren't you, people are girls, are you also girls? Tie one piece to each of them when they go back! β
Qin Yu turned a blind eye to the mess all over the ground and yelled at the teenagers.
"The first... Chief, what about the wounded? β
A teenager asked cautiously as he looked at the dozen or so wounded people who were still wailing on the ground.
"Carry the lightly injured to the side of the road first, and give them a good time if they are seriously injured!"
Qin Yu said and handed over the waist knife in his hand.
"Male... Childe, these people are not seriously injured! Mrs. Li looked at those who obviously only injured their hands and feet, and were also slashed by those teenagers, and she couldn't bear it, so she came to Qin Yu's side and said carefully.
"It's a sin to live in this weather."
Qin Yu waved his hand, he saw too much, but he was scraped on his leg, and finally died of pus and fever.
Mrs. Li opened her mouth.
In fact, she didn't want Qin Yu to become so cruel, and wanted to teach him subtly, which showed that he was indifferent, and he really didn't dare to say more.
Such an injury only needs to be cleaned and then put some medicine, try not to sweat, and rest for a few days to get better.
β¦β¦
After a while, the big men began to return, and it was not until the evening that Li Dingguo returned with a large group of men.
At this time, Qin Yu had already prepared dinner, the weapons and food had also been counted and piled together, and hundreds of corpses were stacked in a pile.
The weather was too big, and Qin Yu finally gave up on letting the teenagers tie their heads and arms, and instead carried the corpses, of course, each of them had to make up for it.
"Dingguo, how's it going? Did you catch up with those officials? β
Qin Yu knew that if he wanted to get rich, he had to kill the officials and the family members, almost all of them had a good steel knife and cotton armor, and some even had war horses, not to mention the officials, there were chain mail and Mongolian horses.
"Damn, I ran faster than a rabbit, Lao Tzu chased it for more than ten miles, but I didn't catch up, I knew that I would have left a team of people and horses to block the road in the valley." Li Dingguo said hatefully.
"Come on, if you really block the road, it is estimated that if we win, we won't have many people left."
Qin Yu rolled his eyes, the reason why he didn't choose to set up an ambush in the valley was not only that the other party was easy to detect, but also because he was afraid that the other party would die and the net would be broken.
The military generals of the Ming Dynasty raised their families, but they were not raised for nothing.
The other party was about to collapse at the touch of a button just now, and that was because they didn't understand their reality and didn't see that the way to retreat was cut off, so those military attachΓ©s were unwilling to take risks.
Anyway, as long as the elite families are not lost, it is not a big problem to see how many ordinary military households die, and it is a little heart-wrenching for that bit of food, but for that bit of food, it is far from enough for them to take risks.
But if they dare to set up an ambush in the canyon, strangle the two ends to death, and catch turtles in the urn, the gang will definitely take the lead in the killing.
And ordinary military households will also fight for their lives, and the final result is likely to be a defeat for both sides, or a defeat for the sake of being killed.
Therefore, it is also extremely particular to fight an ambush, you have to weigh your own catties and taels first, and then you can choose to defeat, encircle and annihilate, or surround half and put half.
Li Dingguo obviously understood this, and he didn't dwell on it, looking at the pile of weapons and asking, "How many weapons and food have been seized?" β
"Don't mention it, it's just more than 2,000 broken guns, more than 200 stones of miscellaneous grain, eight mules and horses are okay, one of them was injured, and I killed one to reward the army."
Qin Yu's face hurts, the military households are too poor, and most of them only have one ancestral broken gun.
"How many kills did you have over there? What about self-inflicted casualties? β
Li Dingguo also frowned, obviously not satisfied.
"In addition, there are more than 200 people killed in the explosion, and more than 30 wounded people have been brought back, there is no battle damage, only a dozen of them are too eager to chase their feet."
The wounded people who were brought back were all knocked unconscious by the young man with a wooden stick, and Qin Yu felt that these people could still be saved.
"I killed about five or six hundred people over there, and injured more than ten people, all of whom fell."
"Okay, kill nearly a thousand enemies, and you don't die for a while, and the famous generals of the ancient times are nothing more than that, a big victory!"
Qin Yu suddenly raised his waist knife and shouted.
"Whew! Oh! β
"The second general is mighty!"
"The leader is mighty!"
When the rebels who were eating meat heard this, they also howled, and their faces were red with excitement.
Only Qin Yu and Li Dingguo glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly in their hearts, only the two of them knew that this Lao Shizi's big victory was too fake.
Almost all of them are old and weak with slow legs, not to mention elite families, and even young and strong men are very few.
After eating, the sky was already dark, Gucheng was empty, Li Dingguo did not dare to delay, as soon as the two of them were combined, they decided to return with torches overnight, anyway, it was only twenty or thirty miles away.
