Chapter 40: The Enemy Comes (4)
The cavalry passed, splashing up clouds of dust ~~~
The sudden arrival of the army suddenly frightened the last bit of courage of the soldiers who had fled. The more than 300 cavalry that Liu Xia led out of Zhuojiabao before were not something they could deal with, and now there were more than 300 cavalry, how could they be able to deal with it?
The four-legged war horse was obviously faster than the two-legged man, because there were many of these family members, and Liu Xia only had three hundred people just now, so they couldn't keep running back. Now that another three hundred cavalry have come, sharing part of the pressure of Liu Xia and others, those defeated families soon fell into the point of being flanked in front and rear, and soon hundreds of families died under the horses of the cavalry.
"There is an enemy ahead"
"There is also in the back!! What to do! ”
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I haven't slept with Xiaolan yet"
"Run to the woods!"
Somebody shouted, and when they heard it, they all lifted their spirits, and ran towards the woods faster than rabbits.
However, it was obvious that they were not alive, because there were soldiers from the three hundred wolf howling battalions hidden in the woods, and they also rushed out on horseback at this time.
"Kill !!"
"Oh no, there's it here, there's it here!!"
"Tear up!"
"Spare ......"
"Die! Things that don't have long eyes, dare to come and beat us, let's all die! Kill! After that, I saw that this young general picked up the family with the spear in his hand.
……
"General, the subordinates of the culprit who organized this coalition to invade us have been arrested, please deal with it."
I saw two sturdy soldiers, one holding Master Li's weak arm tightly with one hand, and walked in front of Liu Xia, and the soldier in bright armor on the left said with high ambition.
Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction and said, "Who is this person?" How did you know he was the initiator of this time? ”
One of the soldiers hurriedly said: "General Hui, this is what his subordinates accidentally learned, his subordinates caught a man on a thin horse, and when the man saw that his subordinates were going to kill him, he hurriedly told him everything.
Then the subordinates united with several brothers and arrested a few people who were also riding horses, and after some interrogation, they all said the same thing, saying that this guy was the initiator of this time, so the subordinates affirmed that this person was the mastermind."
Liu Xia looked at this soldier with great satisfaction, he didn't expect that there were such careful and good investigators and interrogators in his team, so he asked this soldier, "Good job."
"What's your name? What is your current position? ”
As soon as the soldier heard Liu Xia ask himself, his heart began to get excited, since Liu Xia asked what position he was holding now, it meant that he was definitely going to be promoted, and he hurriedly said to Liu Xia: "General Hui, subordinate Meng Yu, subordinate is now serving as a squad leader in the personal guard." ”
The pro-guard team is the guard that protects the generals, and it can be regarded as Liu Xia's personal soldiers, and most of the general external dispatches are selected from the pro-guards.
In the eyes of these soldiers, entering the pro-guard team is equivalent to entering Liu Xia's eyes, and it is very easy to be promoted in the future.
Moreover, the loyalty of the pro-guard team is very high, and Liu Xia sent the pro-guard team to serve as a squad leader, squadron leader and other official positions in other armies, which can also prevent some generals from defecting.
The soldier said that he was a member of the personal guard, and Liu Xia liked it even more, so he said, "Have you ever studied?" ”
Liu Xia suddenly had a new plan in his heart, no, it was not a new plan, it was a plan that had been thought of a long time ago, and it was implemented in advance now.
The soldier's face was a little gloomy, but there was still a light in his eyes, and he said: "General, when my subordinates were young, they were also considered a solid family, and they went to private schools to study for a few years, but when they were thirteen years old, there was a sudden change in the family, the father was killed by a eunuch, the mother and the sisters were also used as official prostitutes, and the younger ones were also sent to the frontier.
Over the years, with the changes in the Ming court, they have also followed different generals, constantly moving back and forth from the frontier to Yangzhou City.
In Yangzhou City, thanks to the general's rescue, otherwise the subordinates would have died in Huangquan, and the subordinates' lives are the general's.
Liu Xia didn't feel much sadness, because at this time Liu Xia's heart had gradually become iron, and he had heard too many sad stories, and he gradually became numb.
Not only these soldiers, but even he Liu Xia, his father was killed when he fought against the Qing army, and his family is now slaughtered by the Qing army.
The political turmoil at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the conquest of the Jin Ge Iron Horse shattered many happy families.
To change this world, we must change this world, this is the most urgent thought in Liu Xia's heart now.
"You don't have to be the squad leader of the guards in the future"
"Go and sort out your things, and go to the personal guard team and the special brigade to select a few people first, and you form an inspection department, which manages some daily conflicts between soldiers, and the improper behavior of generals and soldiers, as well as interrogations, etc. And you must strictly abide by military regulations, and as for your rank, you will be equal to the captain first, and you will be directly under my management."
Meng Yu listened to Liu Xia's words, his eyes lit up, this position was exactly what he wanted, and said, "Yes, general, subordinates obey orders!" ”
The other soldier beside him looked at Meng Yu enviously, and after Liu Xia finished speaking, this Meng Yu changed from a small squad leader to a captain-level figure. It seems that this pro-guard team was promoted really quickly.
After Liu Xia finished talking about Meng Yu, he looked down at Master Li, who was already frightened at this time, pale and trembling, and gray-faced with Meng Yu and another soldier.
glanced at this half-dead Master Li coldly, and said to Meng Yu: "You take this guy down first and interrogate him clearly."
"Yes, General, subordinates retire."
…………
At this time, the battle was basically over, and the stewards of each family, as well as the county lieutenant Zhang Qian, had been arrested by the soldiers at this time, as for the more than 2,000 family members, under the resistance of nearly 1,000 soldiers, they were basically all killed, and the remaining dozen or so knelt on the ground in fear at this time, constantly vomiting.
Some even get soaked under the lower body, and a peculiar smell continues to spread.
"The battle is over, the battle is over"
"Hold the Captives Together"
"The general has an order, the soldiers have made meritorious contributions, and the fragrant meat in the Zhuangzi is cooked, waiting for the soldiers to eat!"
"Whoop~~~"
"Eat meat!"
"The battle is over, and the soldiers of the logistics battalion are cleaning up the battlefield!"
……
"Open the door!"
"Squeak~~"
"It smells so good."
"Don't rob, don't rob, everyone has it, don't fucking rob, the general said, enough for you all to eat."
"Queue, queue"
