Chapter 412, it's worth it to die
Big cow, are we still slipping? ”
Chen Haozi looked at Wang Da Niu, his eyes were red, killing a Tartar would reward one hundred taels of silver, if he died on the battlefield, he would be compensated with two hundred taels of silver, at this moment, everyone's eyes were red.
"Sniff~"
Wang Daniu knocked Chen Haozi on the head fiercely, then gritted his teeth and said: "TMD, my rotten life is worth two hundred yuan, and killing a Tartar will cost one hundred taels of silver, such an opportunity to make a fortune is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is still slippery." ”
"Slip back to be poor for the rest of your life?"
"If you slip back, you can't even afford to marry a wife, and you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"
"TND, if you fight this time, even if you die, you will be killed in the Tartar knife, and at least you can get two hundred taels of silver for your family."
"What do you say?"
Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes were blood-red and blood-red.
"It's done, two hundred silver is enough to buy my rotten life, if you can kill a Tartar and pull a cushion on your back, then it will be even more profitable, if you can survive the shit luck, then you will turn over in the future."
Li Fugui spit out fiercely, took out his kitchen knife, he wanted to use this kitchen knife to give himself a fight, even if he died in the hands of the Tartars, he had no regrets, two hundred taels of silver, it was worth it to die, it was enough to marry a mother-in-law with three taels of silver, it was enough to build a house in his hometown with a few taels of silver, and an acre of land was only a few taels of silver.
"Yes~I did it~"
"It's all two shoulders and one head, and it's also necessary to pull a tartar down."
"Mother~ If I go back here, my father has to beat me to death, such an opportunity to make a fortune, there will be no such shop in this village."
The others also howled, and what had been a flock of sheep trying to escape had suddenly turned into hungry wolves with red eyes.
"Hmm~Hmm~"
"Everyone is gathered, everyone is gathered~"
At that moment, there was a trumpet sound in the barracks, and their commander gathered the people again.
"It's coming, it should be the people from the Prince's Mansion to publicize it~"
"Let's go, let's go~"
When the scholar heard this, he hurriedly said to everyone, and hurriedly walked to the playground after speaking.
As the scholar said, when everyone gathered, the officials from the Prince's Mansion directly announced the blockbuster news to everyone, and those who knew the news in advance were able to calm down.
Those who only knew the news immediately exploded, all of them were in disbelief, thinking that their ears had heard it wrong, and after repeated confirmation, everyone was like Wang Daniu, Chen Haozi and others, and their eyes were red in an instant.
Even the generals and commanders in the army of Qianhu, Baihu and so on on the general's platform are red-eyed, and they also have huge rewards, and the more the team they lead kills, the richer their rewards will be.
In an instant, the original fear of the Tartars, the fear of death on the battlefield also disappeared, and these people on the entire playground became a group of howling hungry wolves, with red eyes, and they hated to fight with the Tartars immediately, even if it was death, there was no fear and fear for them, because they knew that even if they died, their families would be able to get a rich pension.
Only the commanders hurriedly convened a meeting of their thousands of households, hundreds of households, etc., to discuss how to kill more enemies on the battlefield, and the first thing was to start weapons and equipment.
The weapons and equipment issued by the imperial court are really poor, and iron-like knives can't kill people at all, and the knives and armor donated by Miyun Iron Factory are really good things.
Originally, many guards didn't want these things at all, because once they took these armor and weapons, it meant charging into battle, which meant dying in front.
But now it's different, the commanders of the guards took the initiative to find Liu Yu here, stalking and fighting, and they all want to become the vanguard troops, no matter what, they also want to get these armor and weapons and so on.
I really can't get the weapons of the Miyun Iron Factory, and these people are also starting to use their brains, what if they don't have weapons?
Of course, I made it myself, cutting wood to make a wooden gun, sharpening it can stab people to death, melting the iron weapon, creating a gun head, and it can also be made into a shot.
Others get some lime and the like everywhere, and when it's time to fight the tartars, they scatter a bag of lime over them, keep them blind to the other side, and then they can easily stab them to death.
Some people even try to get some highly poisonous things to smear on the blades, hidden weapons, etc., in preparation for the death of the tartars at that time.
For the reward of a hundred taels of silver, human wisdom is infinite, and all kinds of ways will be thought of.
If you don't have a weapon, you can find a way to do it yourself, steal it, borrow it, in short, everyone has become a hungry wolf, one by one red to study, lick their tongues, and wait to be fed.
……
The three-way army of the Ming Dynasty gathered towards the grassland army in Gansu, Shaanxi, and Ningxia, and the grassland people had naturally received the news and were also alert.
The task of the Eastern Army was to cut off the retreat of the steppe people to the north and attack the Tartars from the east, so they were also the first to engage the Tartars.
Here at the Hukou Pass, the Tartars who were in charge of the rear and guards on the city wall chatted very leisurely, talking about the harvest of this southward raid.
Hukou Pass is the gap they opened when they went south this time, and the terrain here is dangerous, like a huge tiger's mouth, so it has the name of Hukou Pass.
However, because of the disrepair of Hukou Pass and a major flood this year, they successfully opened this gap and were able to go south to loot.
For this pass, the little prince Dayan Khan attaches great importance to it, because this is the exit for their northward retreat, and if they are given more back by the Ming army here, it will not be easy for them to retreat northward smoothly.
Therefore, Dayan Khan also arranged 5,000 heavy troops to guard the Hukou Pass.
When many people hear five thousand, they will feel that these five thousand seem to be very little, but the grassland people are all cavalry, skilled in bows and horses, and five thousand grassland cavalry is enough to easily rush across the Ming army of tens of thousands of people, and it is absolutely enough to hold the Tiger Pass.
"The women of the Central Plains are really fragrant~"
"Isn't it, haven't you seen that our leader hasn't gotten up until now?"
"It must have been tossing late last night, and I couldn't get up at all this time."
"Daming is really a good place, there is food, salt, and iron pots, and the things we grabbed this time are enough for us to eat for a long time."
"It's a pity, now it's our turn to guard here~"
"We are robbing some small towns, if we can break through those big cities, then it will be more real, there are countless gold, silver and jewelry, there are mountains of salt and grain, and those women of the Ming nobles, it is exciting to think about."
The city of Hukou Pass was full, and groups of grassland soldiers gathered together, chatting in groups, and the most exciting thing for them was to go south to plunder.
Pick up the scimitar in your hand and go south, as long as you can enter the Ming world of Huahua, you will have everything, kill the men of the Ming Dynasty cleanly, snatch their women, snatch their food and salt, iron pots, kitchen knives, all the things that can be snatched away, as for the things that cannot be snatched away, they will be burned cleanly.
This kind of capitalless business, wanton killing and plundering, and the pleasure of wanton looting always fascinate and yearn for it.
On the road leading to Hukou Pass, there are convoys of convoys constantly going north, these teams all escorting and looting materials, cart after cart, full, and tied up slaves, next to them are on horseback, holding a horse whip of the steppe people, seeing that the one walks slowly, up is a whip, full of laughter between each other, and the tied up slaves are blind, tears streaming down their faces.
Seeing her husband being killed, watching her hard-earned home burned down, all her wealth being plundered, and even becoming a slave, you can imagine how it felt at this time.
"Smack~"
"Hurry up~Hurry up~"
A few steppe soldiers on horseback looked at the slow-walking procession, looking very dissatisfied.
Every time they go south, their favorite time is this time, the harvest time of the full load, but this time is also the most annoying time, because there are so many looting things, they can't go south like when they came, like a gust of wind, they have to slowly and leisurely bring their spoils back to the grassland, very slowly.
If in the past, they had time to retreat north slowly and leisurely, because the army of the Ming Dynasty was very Buddhist, and they didn't dare to come out at all when they hid in the city.
But this time there was a little different, they also already knew the news, and the Ming Dynasty organized an army of 300,000 to encircle them from three roads.
Although Dayan Khan was eager to fight a good battle with the Ming army and remove the fig leaf of the Ming people, for the sake of prudence, he was still beginning to arrange the evacuation.
The first to evacuate was naturally the spoils of war, and the plundering tribes began to arrange for people to withdraw what their tribes had looted to the grassland first.
As long as these loots go back, when the time comes, they will have no baggage, whether this is a good fight with the Ming people, or that the wind can be tightened and the wind can be easily whirred.
The current team belonged to the Tuva tribe, and the number was not large, only about two hundred, but it was a team of thousands of slaves and thousands of wagons to evacuate north, ready to bring the spoils back to their tribes.
These steppe people looked very wanton and very happy, and kept talking about the wonderful moment of this southward journey, but they did not notice that on both sides of the road, thousands of Ming troops were already ambushed here, ready to fight an ambush for them.
