Chapter Ninety-Seven: Success
Zhao Kun said one after another: "It's so cool, let's study hard and practice hard in the future to fight faster and more accurately, the bird gun is really a good thing, this thing is amazing, Bayala and Niu Lu are really nothing, Lao Tzu only needs to hit a lead to make them return to the west." ”
Song Pengfei said: "Seeing is believing, no wonder the master asked me not to envy the cavalry brothers, he said that in the future, it will be a hot weapon war, and the soldiers will have to use firearms to kill the enemy." ”
Knowing that the head of the family respected firearms so much, Zhao Kun and Liu Sihai's eyes brightened even more, they had not been able to raise their heads in the "Red Flag Army" before, why?
Because they all serve their comrades-in-arms, they have never had the opportunity to fight face-to-face, and of course they have not achieved an inch.
Although they have already been treated as captains because of their old qualifications, in this "Red Banner Army" contingent that judges heroes by military merits, it is of course very boring to always do logistics.
Today they were different, and their daily hard work paid off, as they took advantage of the short time to reload and then calmly fired again, and successfully shot a Tartar and a Bannerman.
It's so painful, it turns out that killing enemies with a bird gun is so sour! Song Pengfei and Zhao Kun, Liu Sihai, and Wang Gensheng all laughed heartily, and they couldn't wait for all the robes to see it, they were also good men who won the beheading merit.
After experiencing the actual combat test, Song Pengfei thought that it was urgent to form a bird gun team, and he had already pondered the selection of soldiers who had played bird guns before from the seven hundred infantry to retrain, and when he didn't get the bird guns produced by Yang Laoshi, he first used ordinary bird guns to practice loading and aiming.
The remnant sun is like blood, the battle flag is picturesque, and the knights at this time are like killing gods, in fact, the short cavalry raid battle is only two breaths of time.
Happiness came so suddenly that more than 2,000 Han people who were forced to become free laborers in the Houjin Army could not adapt for a while.
They only had time to hear the rumbling of horses' hooves approaching, and then they saw that the slaves, the tartars, and the bannermen who had whipped them viciously had become poor worms twitching on the ground.
The earth has been stained red with blood, and the surroundings have also been swept by red flags, and the dazzling red and the life-saving red have made these rescued Han people talk about it for a lifetime.
Those devastated Han people came back to their senses, and shouted out the ecstasy in their hearts with all their might: "The Ming army, it's the Ming army, it's my Ming cavalry who came to save us, woo woo woo woo ......"
"I'm looking forward to Master Wang, folks, we can go home, wow......"
"The sky has eyes! Dog Tartar, you also have today. ”
Too many Hermes-Epitek wept with joy as they were finally freed from their slavery. Many Han people were ashamed and brave, and they fought with the bannermen and the clothed minions......
The raid worked, the "Red Banner Army" won a complete victory, and the results of the battle were counted, and 71 Jiannu armorers, including Niu Lu Ezhen and nine Bayalas, were killed, 63 Tartars left corpses, and 230 Qiding and Baoyi slaves were killed.
Seven of the "Red Banner Army" were killed, 13 were seriously wounded, and 21 were lightly wounded.
There will always be casualties in the battle, and the losses in this battle are small and the results are brilliant, and all the soldiers chant "'Red Banner Army' is victorious." "The joy of victory is not diluted by casualties.
While Huang Han arranged for everyone to clean up the battlefield and arrange the guard, he solemnly wrote down the name and origin of the sacrificed robe, and it was unrealistic to bring the remains of the martyrs back to the Jiulitai Martyrs' Cemetery to be buried for peace, so he could only let the Han people help go to the hillside to bury their comrades.
Just when the surprise attack on Pisces Village ended, and three or four thousand soldiers and civilians reaped the heads and spoils of the Houjin Army, Zunhua City was also very lively, and it was Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian who returned to the city triumphantly with their men and horses.
I didn't see the Ming cavalry out of the city for half a month, and today suddenly rushed out of more than 1,000 horsemen from the north gate and the south gate at the same time, and more than 2,000 Ming cavalry encircled in the direction of the east gate.
The Houjin army sentry cavalry on the periphery found that the Ming army was not reluctant to kill in the direction of Santun camp city at full speed, and immediately galloped back to Santun camp city to inform the main general Ming army to attack.
The city of Santun camp suddenly jumped chickens and dogs, and the Houjin army reacted quickly, and in a moment, Wakda gathered 1,500 horses out of the west gate to prepare to meet the Ming army in person.
Who knew that the Jin army ran all the way west to the Wuli Pavilion at the east gate of Zunhua and did not see the Ming army, and ran sixty or seventy miles in vain, and the Ming army that killed more than a dozen children of the Eight Banners slipped into Zunhua City, so that the Jiannu who pursued to the east of Zunhua exploded their lungs one by one.
Is it useful to be angry? The Ming army at the head of the city made obscene gestures to lure the Houjin army to attack the city. The Houjin army can only stare dryly, they are not stupid to know that no matter how many five times the number of men and horses will not be able to defeat Zunhua City, there is no way to go back!
In this sortie, only five people of the Ming army were injured, and no one was killed, although the result was only a thirteenth-level real slave, but it was enough to boost the morale of the Ming army.
Many Ming soldiers looked at the robe that had won the decapitation skill with envy, and it seemed that it was not very difficult to cut off the head of Jiannu! Too many Ming troops were holding back their strength, preparing to return with the enemy's head in the next sortie.
The atmosphere on the battlefield in Pisces Village was even more enthusiastic, with thousands of people hugging each other to celebrate the victory, and many people actually found their fellow villagers in the "Red Flag Army".
Because dozens of ordinary people died in the melee between the two armies, this transport team also had more than 2,600 Han people-sturdy laborers, more than 700 oxen and horses, and more than 300 war horses that captured Tartar Jiannu, as well as 400 pack horses and horses.
The value of the gold and silver treasures transported by this team was more than 30,000 taels of silver, and the value of silk, cloth, tea, and iron should not be less than 20,000 taels of silver.
Gold jewelry and silver taels were also looted from the corpses of the Tartars, Jiannu and bannermen, and from the blankets of war horses, which should belong to the private property of the Houjin army, and were worth more than 20,000 taels of silver in total.
The main material transported by this convoy was actually wheat, which was loaded with more than 600 carts of cattle and horses, and it was estimated that it was not less than five or six thousand stones.
Without the cart, even if Huang Han brought more than 800 spare horses, more captured war horses, pack horses, and 1,000 small cattle would be a drop in the bucket, and the transportation capacity was far from enough to take away these grains.
Huang Han ordered everyone to pick up valuable materials to carry first, and to carry as much wheat as they could, so that all the Han people could hide in the mountains in time, and they could carry some wheat according to their ability.
The soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" had already begun to prepare firewood, and before retreating, they could only choose to burn those carts and four or five thousand stones of wheat.
Huang Han knew that there was a shortage of grain everywhere at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it would be good for the people of Shengdou to be able to eat two meals of cereals.
But what if you don't destroy it? If you lose it here, you will become enemy again tomorrow. War is meant to destroy each other and kill each other, and there is no way to be a bodhisattva!
