Chapter 125: A New Life for Dabao's Face

The course of the battle was very uneventful, and the army rushed up to surround and kill. Stand on the shore and shoot arrows at the captives who have fled into the river.

Soon, this battle, which was too small to be worth mentioning in Wang Xiao's eyes, came to an end.

More than 500 were killed on the spot, and more than 100 were swept away by the current. The others surrendered and became prisoners.

Achieving a victory so easily, the morale of the people who had feared the enemy like a tiger suddenly rose.

Seeing those quail-like captives, everyone said that it was not a big deal.

The army began to camp on the spot, and at the same time sent people to clean up the battlefield.

'Smack! ’

A blood-stained whip slammed into Dabao's back, knocking him to the ground.

"Get up, you piece of shit! You can't even drag a corpse, don't eat tonight's dinner! ”

Dabao, who was sent into the army as a wrestler, wiped his face with dusty hands. didn't argue anything, silently got up and continued to drag the corpse of the captive rider to the pit to be buried in a centralized manner.

When he was first assigned to the barracks, he also had the temper of the eldest young master. I also threw away the food because it was hard to swallow.

But this is in the army, not Rongguofu. No one here will get used to him and spoil him.

When the eldest young master lost his temper, he was responded to by rough fists and foul feet.

The end result of throwing away food is that you don't have to eat for several days.

After that, he would receive the warm greetings of the spirit infusion stick every night. If it weren't for the instructions from above, it is estimated that his thin skin and tender flesh would not even be able to hold the blooming flowers in the barracks.

It only took a few days for Dabao's face to quickly adapt to a new life.

When you are scolded, you spit on yourself, and when you are beaten, you endure it silently. When I worked, I no longer complained about being tired, and when I ate, I learned to fight and rob like beggars.

No matter how much coarse grain he pulls his throat, he can also eat it with relish.

Even at night, it was very natural, lying down and sleeping with the men who used to look like mud in his eyes.

The once fine skin and tender flesh quickly became rough and black, and it was common to sweat and not take a bath for a few days.

At this time, Dabao's face has lost the slightest trace of the breath of a once noble son.

The saying that the environment changes people is extremely obvious in him.

It's just that when he was ordered to clean up these corpses today, Dabao's face, who had never seen such a tragic scene, still lost his mind.

In the past, where had Dabao Face seen such a tragic scene.

Corpses and blood stains all over the ground, broken knives and arrows, torn armor. Swarms of flies danced on the corpses, and the bloody breath that rushed straight to his brain even made him vomit out the coarse grain steamed buns and pickles he had eaten in the morning.

However, these reactions disappeared after being whipped.

Dabao's face, which was used to being beaten, suddenly had chaos in his mind, and he mechanically began to work according to the order.

After the corpses were thrown into the pit and buried, before the wrestlers had time to catch their breath, they were ordered to fetch firewood and water to prepare for the firehead army.

"Blessed are the people here."

A bearded man sighed beside Dabao's face.

The palm of his hand was already full of calluses, and his face struggled to chop the branches: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Don't you know that the crops that have drunk blood grow well?" The bearded face looked at him, "Oh, you are the young master of a big family, so naturally I don't know." ”

Dabao lowered his head and did not speak, working silently.

The midday meal was unbelievably good. Even these people have tasted the taste of meat.

Looking at the fat and greasy chicken butts and undercooked chicken feet in his bowl, Dabao's face silently shed tears.

In the past, when he was in Rongguo Mansion, he didn't even bother to look at this kind of thing.

"What, don't like to eat?" The bearded face on the side of the gobbling reached out directly, "Don't eat it for me." ”

Dabao's face directly buried his face in the sea bowl that lacked a few gaps.

After eating, Dabao faced them and was called to do chores on the handsome tent again.

A celebration feast was held here, and all kinds of leftover bones and leftovers of bones, as well as some wine jars with some remnants, were piled up, which they had to clean up.

Dabao looked at Wang Xiao who was surrounded by the stars and the moon in the distance and accepted waves of toasts.

The figure was so energetic, as if it were as striking as a bright light.

"What do you think? Why don't you hurry up and eat? Bearded Face shoved a gnawed mess of pig's trotters into his hand, "What are you stupid doing here to catch up with such a good thing." ”

Dabao wiped his tears from his face, squatted in the garbage heap and bit the pig's trotters that he didn't know who had bitten into a rotten peach.

He regretted it and was so wronged.

But his mother was arrested, and there was no one to help him speak and plead.

The cruel reality made this noble son finally understand what real life is.

It's like this pig's trotter in my hand, it's so fragrant.

"It's just a small victory, and there's no need to be so exaggerated."

In Lin Ruhai's tent, Wang Xiao was complaining that the emperor was making too much of a fuss.

It's just a few hundred rides, as for it.

Lin Ruhai smiled: "During the Chongzhen period of the former Ming Dynasty, it was already a great victory to be able to win the two hundred Tartars in a battle. ”

"That's because their army sucks. Years of unpaid wages, lack of food, lack of warm clothes, and the use of weapons are all tattered by cutting corners. You can't even do basic training. How is it possible for such an army to ask them to fight for the generals who oppress them all day long. ”

Wang Xiao explained the reason for the low combat effectiveness of the army during the Chongzhen period: "When the Tartars entered the customs, the combat effectiveness of the former Ming troops who surrendered to the Tartars was completely different. The reason is not that the Tartars have fed them all. ”

To tell the truth, the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not the top among the northern captives of all dynasties, and it is not even a first-class level.

It's just that when the two sides are worse than them, the opponent is worse than them.

Lin Ruhai waved his hand again and again, "Come on, that's all about the previous dynasty." Tell me what to do next. ”

"Fight hard."

Wang Xiao poured a cup of tea for Lin Ruhai, and patted him a little, "The prince didn't take the Shenji Camp with him when he left, which is a bad thing for him, but it is a good thing for us." Mounted archery, mounted archery, when facing cannon fire, I will see how you ride and shoot. ”

"It's not that Wang Ziteng doesn't want to take the Shenji Battalion, but the cannons of the Shenji Battalion are too heavy and heavy, and he hates that it will slow down the march. It was the infantry chasing the cavalry, and then dragging the cannon slowly, so what else did you mention about making meritorious contributions. In the end, I still think too highly of myself. ”

Lin Ruhai has seen the power of firearms with his own eyes, and he also knows that mounted archery looks sharp, but in fact, the range is far inferior to firearms, let alone cannons.

If those grassland captives really dare to come to the decisive battle, the Shenji Battalion will definitely teach them how to behave.

Lin Ruhai took a sip of the teacup, and looked at Wang Xiao with a smile, "When can I drink the tea you respect?" ”

Wang Xiao smiled, at this time, a personal soldier came in outside to report that a messenger sent by the captive cavalry had arrived, and the emperor asked them to pass.

The envoy was originally going to the capital, but he didn't expect to be caught by the rangers when he walked here. I was thinking about going back and reporting the matter as soon as possible.

When Wang Xiao entered, the envoys were telling the emperor about their request.

"The opening of the mutual market allows us to send envoys to live in Chang'an City permanently. Compensate us for 800,000 taels of silver, and all the Great Zhou troops north of the Great Wall were withdrawn into the pass. If you marry another princess, the dowry must be rich, and it cannot be less than Tang Taizong's marriage to Princess Wencheng. If we don't agree, then our army will be broken in a few days..."

'Whoa! ’

Wang Xiao drew his saber and directly cut off the head of the envoy.

Everyone in the handsome tent was in an uproar.

King Zhongshun couldn't wait to jump out, pointed at him and shouted, "How dare you kill the envoy?!" ”

Wang Xiao wiped the blood stains on the blade of the knife, and put the knife back into its sheath, "Where is the envoy?" ”

Wang Xiao looked around: "Are you stupid to read?" It's just a bunch of horse thieves on the prairie, who told you to raise their status? Cutting land, paying compensation, and kissing. Which of you would dare to say yes? ”

To be honest, no one dared to say yes.

The former Song Dynasty agreed, but their fate made the latecomers extremely vigilant.

Coupled with the fact that there is a clear future as a reference, who would dare to agree to such a thing?

Wang Xiao glared at King Zhongshun with fierce eyes, "The prince is so enthusiastic to speak for these people, isn't there some collusion with them?" ”

King Zhongshun's eyes trembled when the dead fish bubbles caused by long-term excessive drinking: "You spew blood!" ”

Suddenly turned around, the fat prince, who is said to weigh nearly 200 pounds, used a posture that did not match his body shape at all, and fell to the emperor's feet with a slippery kneeling, hugging the emperor's thigh and crying, "Your Majesty, my brother has been wronged~~~"

The fact that someone betrayed intelligence and colluded with the steppe people was not news in the imperial court. Anyone with a bit of eyesight can see it.

The King of Zhongshun was well aware of how angry the Emperor was at this. If this basin was fastened to his head, the fat on his body would tremble just by thinking about it.

"Get up."

The emperor also did not believe that the king of Zhongshun had the courage to do such a thing. also knew that Wang Xiao was taking the opportunity to take revenge. But he's always been happy to see this kind of thing happen.

The emperor did not think to agree to these requests made by the envoys.

He is a person who values his reputation very much, even the Emperor Taishang He can endure it for more than ten years without letting him die of a violent illness, how could he leave such a stain on himself in the history books that has been stinking for thousands of years.

Thinking of the reputation given to the second emperor of Huiqin in the history books, the emperor couldn't help but shudder. He didn't want hundreds or thousands of years from now, someone would still point to his name and scold him.

Although the emperor felt unhappy about Wang Xiao's act of drawing his sword and killing people in front of him, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Such a character is straightforward, and everything is a general who is shown in person. It's better than those generals who have smiling knives and no one knows what they're thinking.

The previous victory in the luring ambush gave the Emperor a great boost in confidence, and he quickly made a decision.

"Aiqing, what do you think should happen next?"

Wang Xiao stroked his saber, and his voice was flat, "Fight with them, until you kill them." ”
