Chapter 69: The Hero of Fortune Teller
Guo Yan, Wang Gang, and Bao Wu were dumbfounded.
They originally thought that the surname Qin would burn grain, and there was nothing in this world that could be more expensive than grain.
Unexpectedly, the guy turned a blind eye to the mountains of grain, and instead burned three siege equipment.
Now, there are only 1,200 people left, and without those few things, I am afraid they will not be able to defeat Mengjiazhuang.
You must know that when Bashanhu and Li Biaofeng joined forces, they were also 1,200 people, and nearly half of their men were lost when they conquered Mengjiazhuang.
There is a person surnamed Qin in Mengjiazhuang, and the defense is much stronger than before, and if he attacks hard, I am afraid that 1,200 men and horses will have to be explained here.
That's it, Mengjiazhuang doesn't fight, anyway, more than 4,000 stone of grain has already been obtained, which is enough for a few of them.
As for how to transport these grains back, it is not too difficult for them, Guo Yan has 300 subordinates hidden nearby, and there are 400 people in Guandi Mountain Dazhai, as well as many carts and chicken carts.
Wang Gangbao and the others also left five or six hundred people behind to transport the looted money and grain, and there were also a lot of cars.
After discussing for a while, they sent fast horses to inform their respective reserve troops to bring various means of transport to come and respond, and asked their subordinates to move the grain to Loufan Town, and build fortifications with the help of the broken walls and ruins of the town to resist the attacks of the surnamed Qin and Zhang Kewang, and prepare to stay here for another night.
They didn't dare to send people to chop wood and make instruments, because Zhang Kewang was nearby, and if there were fewer people who went, they would be intercepted and killed by the other party.
Just stay in the town and wait for answers.
Zhang Kewang is the opposite of them, he is now without food and light, with 1,300 subordinates and 2,000 war horses.
He didn't give up, the surname Qin burned his siege equipment, he could still build it, and before nightfall, he found a mountain beam with trees along the Fen River and camped, and continued to cut down trees to build siege towers.
After the two coalition forces transported away the so-called grain, they would attack Mengjiazhuang and slaughter him without leaving a chicken or dog.
……
At night, the howls of wild wolves and the roars of wild beasts fighting for food, as well as the disturbing crow of crows.
The smell of blood attracted all the jackals within a radius of tens of miles, and thousands of corpses were scattered all over the field, full of beasts gnawing on corpses and fighting to bite, as well as countless crows that had eaten enough to stand on the corpses and comb their feathers.
In Mengjiazhuang, the smell of blood and the wails of the wounded were everywhere.
In the gatehouse, Song Zhiting was squatting on the ground, stitching up a wound on Qin Chuan's thigh that was pierced by the head of a gun, and next to him was Wang Jizong, who was full of curiosity and desire to learn.
Qin Chuan frowned, enduring the pain while listening to his subordinates report the battle damage.
In this battle, two brothers from Jiuji Mountain were killed in battle, and the corpses were still outside, and one hundred and seventeen Guan Emperor soldiers were killed, and more than 60 were wounded, seven of whom were seriously wounded.
Coupled with the more than a dozen Guan Emperor soldiers and dozens of displaced people who died when Zhang Kewang attacked Zhuang before, this battle can be described as a heavy loss.
"Lao Liu, take a few people to find the bodies of those two brothers, don't let the wolves eat them."
After his subordinates finished reporting, Qin Chuan took a deep breath and said to Liu Youzhu on the side.
"Which wolf cub who doesn't have long eyes dares to eat Brother Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has peeled its skin."
The centipede-like scar on Liu Youzhu's face became more and more hideous, and he picked up the knife and walked out.
"I'm going to hunt some wolves and come back and skin them."
Luo Ba threw down the meat and bones in his hand and picked up the horn bow and quiver.
"I'll go too."
A few of the good men of the bow and arrow also went out.
Lao Huang grinned with big yellow teeth and smiled: "Fight more foxes, the fox skin on a cold day is the thickest, soft and warm." ”
"Okay."
A few people outside the house answered.
Not long after, after Song Zhiting bandaged Qin Chuan's thighs with boiled muslin, he stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Qin Chuan wiped his sweat and leaned back in the chair to relax.
"Big boss, let's eat first, the big guys have eaten, and you and the two gentlemen are left."
The lynx leaned over and handed him a towel soaked in warm water with bad breath.
Qin Chuan held his breath, took the towel and nodded, and after seeing the lynx turn around and walk away, he said, "Let's catch that kid and bring it over to eat together." ”
Although the lynx was a little puzzled, she still ran to the door and shouted a few times.
Soon a few homeless people brought hot meals, and Li Dingguo was also brought.
Because Qin Chuan specially confessed, he was not tied up, nor was he beaten, he was quite energetic, as soon as he entered the house, he cocked his chin, saying that it was good to call it heroic and unyielding, and to say that it was bad to say that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
Seeing him like this, the old bandits of Jiuji Mountain in the house were happy, and even Wang Jizong came over curiously and looked at this hairy boy from head to toe.
"Come and eat."
Qin Chuan beckoned to him.
Li Dingguo said with a cold face: "Master, I never eat food that comes from me. ”
"Ho." Qin Chuan was also happy.
Wang Jizong smiled and nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of appreciation.
An old bandit said puzzledly: "Big boss, this kid doesn't look special except for being stubborn, and he is shameless, why do you serve him with good food and drink?" If you want me to say, it's better to slaughter it with a knife. ”
Qin Chuan smiled: "Don't underestimate him, this kid is of great use to us." ”
"What's the use of a little hairy boy."
"Hmm...... Let's put it this way, you stupid people, all of them can be regarded as generals with one enemy and one hundred, but none of them can become handsome. ”
"What's that kind of handsome thing?"
Wang Jizong interjected: "The general is the general who charges into battle, and Shuai Cai is the commander who commands the general to charge into battle. ”
"What? Can this kid be a commander? ”
"The big boss didn't look away, such an inconspicuous boy, I can pinch it to death with one hand."
"Big boss, how do you know? Will you still be able to see it? ”
Qin Chuan cleared his throat and pretended to be a god and said, "Didn't Lao Huang say that I had a fox immortal when I was seriously injured?" Hehe, the bad old man is really accurate, your big boss, I, am now proficient in fortune-telling and divination. ”
"I only need to look at it to know that this humble boy is a handsome talent, and in the future, when he leads an army of 100,000 to kill everyone, everyone will be terrified, and Kyushu will tremble."
Listening to his words, those old bandits in Jiuji Mountain were all gone.
After waking up from a serious injury, the big boss did seem to be a different person, more cunning than before, I don't know how much, Lao Huang said that he was ignited by the fox fairy, and it really looked like that.
"Humph! Pretending to be a ghost. ”
When everyone was shocked, Li Dingguo snorted disdainfully.
Wang Jizong on the side naturally didn't believe Qin Chuan's words, but he could also see that this hairy boy was indeed a little extraordinary.
"Big boss, help me take a look, can I please my mother-in-law in the future?" An old bandit craned his neck and asked with a smile.
"And me, and me, and help me take a look."
"Big boss, let's take a look at me again."
Qin Chuan waved his hand to interrupt this group of stunned goods, and said: "As long as you follow the surnamed Qin, you will definitely be prosperous and prosperous in the future, and your mother-in-law and aunt will be fine." ”
"Hey."
The stunned bunch was happy again.
At this time, Wang Jizong suddenly interjected and asked jokingly: "If there is a dispute today, and the heroes rise together, the chief steward thinks that among the many members of the Ming Court and the seventy-two families in the thirty-six battalions, who is a master?" Who is a bear? What will be the situation in the world in the future? ”
Qin Chuan put away his smile, pondered for a while, and said: "Zhu Youjian has the ambition to rejuvenate the country, but he is unable to turn the tide, among the many members of the Ming Court, nine times out of ten are bears, Sun Chengzong is a generation of heroes, but he is already old and twilight and unable to return to the sky, and only Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao and others in the backbone generation can barely be regarded as masterpieces, Hong Chengchou has some ability, but it is just ...... Hehe. ”
"Of the so-called 36 battalions and 72 families, only Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong can barely be regarded as a generation of heroes, and only these two can achieve great things in the future, and the others are just a nest of bears."
"As for the future situation in the world, it can only be said that there is chaos, there are rogues inside, and there are foreign races outside to mess with China, and the Ming court will not last for many years, but no matter what the chaos is, it is not the rogue who can finally sit in the world."
Hearing his words, Wang Jizong frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
Li Dingguo sneered a few times: "Hmph! Pretending to be a god and playing tricks, hundreds of thousands of rebels are burning the prairie like sparks, and heroes from all sides have waved their flags in response, this world is not the rebels, who else can it be? ”
"Ahem."
Qin Chuan cleared his throat, pointed at himself very seriously, and said two words: "Mine".
Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head and laughed wildly.
Wang Jizong still looked thoughtful.
Qin Chuan turned his gaze to the north and said to himself: "In this world, there is only one person who can truly be called a masterpiece. ”
Wang Jizong raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?" ”
"Huang Taiji."
