Chapter 121: Capture the Head of the Thief
Zhong Hao saw the cavalry of Jingqiang Village on the wall of the village to pursue the party cavalry, and immediately organized 200 soldiers to go to the party camp to clean up the battlefield and pack up the spoils. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The camp in front of the mountain was a full cavalry battalion, with a full number of 300 cavalry. Although most of the 300 cavalry scattered and fled, many of them were killed and injured when the ** bag exploded, and many were killed and injured when they were hit by the startled horses when they stepped on the camp, and when the Jingqiang Zhai cavalry rushed into their camp to kill and trample, they were picked up and knocked away a lot, and these dead and wounded were difficult to escape, and there were more than 100 people left in the camp.
When Zhong Hao and Zhang Yong came to the party camp with more than 200 soldiers from the battalion, there were still many party cavalry lying on the ground wailing.
Many tents in the camp were still burning with raging flames, and under the reflection of the firelight, the faces of those party cavalrymen who were howling miserably were extremely distorted, and Zhong Hao was a little mad when he saw him.
But Zhang Yong and the 200 soldiers of the battalion did not feel uncomfortable at all, in their eyes, these party cavalry lying on the ground and wailing were all strings of copper coins, all of which were piles of war exploits.
Zhang Yong commanded the 200 soldiers of the battalion to harvest the heads first.
Zhong Hao instructed to pick some lightly injured ones to leave them alive. In today's battle, I will have to explain the situation to the imperial court in the future. At that time, I am afraid that the Shuai Si or the imperial court will probably have to question the Xia people about this matter, if they all cut off their heads, I am afraid that there are some things that are difficult to say. All the heads were cut, and it is difficult to tell where these heads were cut. With these living mouths, and taking a confession, the matter will stand still.
Zhang Yong loudly instructed all the soldiers of the battalion: "Take one general (the Song army, ten people as one general) as a unit, and scatter to search this camp!" Be careful, remember to make up a few knives on the key points of the dead bodies first, in case there is a violent attack that cheats death and hurts people. ”
All the soldiers of the war battalion shouted their orders and went to harvest the heads in a hurry.
Under the light of the fire, Zhong Hao saw that those soldiers of the battalion cut off the heads of party members one by one, and he couldn't help but feel a little churning in his stomach and felt slightly uncomfortable. However, this is the second time Zhong Hao has seen this kind of bloody scene, and the situation is much better than the first time he saw those regimental training township soldiers and the forbidden army of Qingfeng Town harvesting the heads of the bandits in the Three Evil Mountains in Qingzhou. Although Zhong Hao couldn't bear to see the lives passing in front of his eyes, he couldn't bear to bear this feeling.
Wang San has been following Zhong Hao closely to protect his safety. At this time, seeing that Zhong Hao's eyes couldn't bear it, he persuaded softly beside him: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." These party members are alien barbarians, barbaric and accustomed to it, and each of these party cavalry has a few Great Song Dynasty lives in their hands. If they break through our Jingqiang Village, I'm afraid that my Jingqiang Village will really not leave chickens and dogs, so there is no need to bear it! ”
Zhong Hao didn't expect Wang San, a seemingly rough and honest man, to have such a delicate mind, and to be able to see through the unbearable in his heart at a glance. Thinking of when he was in the corner tower today, he could see at a glance his worry about Yang Huaiyu's comfort, Zhong Hao couldn't help but be a little impressed by his mental cleverness.
"Third brother, rest assured, there will be no woman's kindness to the party members in the next decision!"
Zhang Yong commanded the barracks to harvest the heads of the party members very quickly.
In a short time, a pile of bald and drooping party heads were piled up in the middle of the camp, and next to them were a dozen lightly wounded party cavalrymen with their hands tied behind their backs. These dozen or so party members were only slightly less injured, but they couldn't stand up and lay on the ground, and it was not certain whether they could be saved.
Zhang Yong reported loudly to Zhong Hao: "The news is opportune, the cleaning and search in the camp has been completed, and a total of one hundred and six party leaders have been killed, plus 12 people have been captured. ”
There are more than 100 heads, which is already a very big feat. You must know that in the past, even if the Song army was able to defeat the party cavalry, but those party cavalry were superb in equestrian skills, and as soon as they encountered a rout, they scattered and fled on horseback, and it was quite difficult to chase down their heads. After a battle, the Song army can behead dozens of party leaders, which is already a big victory. In this battle, more than 100 party leaders were won, which can definitely be regarded as a big victory.
Zhong Hao nodded, and asked Zhang Yong to count the loot left by the party members in the camp again. In fact, this group of party cavalry all fed their wars with war, ate anywhere, and had no supplies, and the only trophy that could be used as war was their war horses, weapons and armor. The horses were frightened, and they didn't know where they had gone, and they couldn't look for them in the dark, and they had to wait until after dawn tomorrow. There are a lot of weapons left behind by the party members, and the swords of Western Xia are also a must, these are good trophies. As for the armor, it was naturally stripped off the party cavalry who had been beheaded.
When the cavalry of Jingqiang Village formed a front arrow formation, four were killed in battle, and three were wounded after falling off their horses. One of the three wounded horsemen had been trampled by the hind horse after falling off his horse, and was so badly wounded that it was difficult to save him. The other two were okay, they were both hit by the weapons of the party and fell off their horses, although they fell off the horses, there was no big problem with their injuries.
The seriously wounded cavalryman was half-supported by a soldier battalion soldier, just holding a breath, seeing Zhong Hao coming, his eyes couldn't help but be full of eagerness, and he wanted to speak, but a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, and he couldn't say a word.
Zhong Hao saw the seriously injured cavalryman and knew that he was afraid that all his internal organs had been trampled by the war horse, and it would be difficult to save him again. This seriously wounded cavalryman Zhong Hao is known, named Wu Tianqiang, is a rather honest man, and has a family and children in Jingqiang Village.
Seeing him like this at this time, Zhong Hao couldn't help but feel a little sad, hurriedly took two steps forward and squatted down, grabbed the hand of the seriously injured cavalryman, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Tianqiang, you have to hold on!" ”
Wu Tianqiang shook his head slightly, meaning that he couldn't do it, he wanted to speak but couldn't say it, just looked at Zhong Hao with ardent expectations.
Zhong Hao understood what he meant from Wu Tianqiang's eyes, and said softly at the moment: "You beheaded four party cavalrymen today, and transferred them to two levels according to military regulations. I will distribute your reward to your family and hands in a lot of money. In the future, if your son wants to join the army, I will try my best to train and promote; If you don't want to join the army, I will arrange a good livelihood for him, you can rest assured! ”
Wu Tianqiang listened to Zhong Hao's words, looked at Zhong Hao's eyes full of gratitude and reassurance, and then gradually dimmed.
Zhong Hao looked at Wu Tianqiang's dim eyes, and his expression was also a little gloomy, and he gently closed Wu Tianqiang's eyes with his hand and stood up.
Han Hu came to Zhong Hao's side at some point and comforted: "A few of our fighting men in the northwest died on the kang!" Dying on the battlefield and being shrouded in horse leather is a common thing. The machine is good, with the merits of these four heads, Wu Tianqiang can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and his death is worth it. He has earned a lot of credit and money for his son of the Hun family, and he can rest assured. Ji Yi, you see that his eyes are full of peace of mind when he is dying, Ji Yi does not have to be sad! ”
Zhong Hao found that he seemed to be a little sentimental tonight, and it seemed that he was not suitable for the battlefield at all. Zhong Hao felt that as the leader of Jingqiang Village, he had to harden his heart, otherwise it would be impossible to make a difference in this treacherous land west of the river. Zhong Hao secretly thought in his heart: The weakness of his mind is only limited to tonight, and he must harden his heart in the future.
Zhong Hao asked people to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and bring the heads, prisoners, and booty into Jingqiang Village as soon as possible. Now I don't know if there are other party cavalry teams to sweep and loot on the border of Linzhou, if there are other party cavalry teams sweeping on the border of Linzhou, hearing the sound of explosions, maybe they will come to sentry, and maybe after the sentry, a large number of party cavalry will come. Jingqiang Village came out of the small group of cavalry that came to rush to the camp, and there was no field ability, so it was safer to hide in Jingqiang Village.
By the time Zhong Hao and the two hundred soldiers of the battalion had transported the heads, the prisoners, and the loot back to Jingqiang Village, it was already the ugly early hours of the second half of the night.
Zhong Hao asked the soldiers of the war barracks to close the gate of the fortress in case the party cavalry attacked.
Zhong Hao himself stood on the wall of Jingqiang Village, trying to look into the dark distance.
I don't know what happened to Yang Huaiyu and them, but if I want to come to nearly thirty people to pursue a few party cavalry, even if I can't catch up, there should be no danger, right?! Of course, the premise is not to run into other party cavalry teams.
It took more than an hour for his team of soldiers to go out of the village to harvest the heads and clean up the battlefield, Yang Huaiyu and they should have already caught up with those cavalry, why has there been no news? Thinking of this, Zhong Hao couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Zhong Hao wanted to send someone out to investigate the situation, but after thinking about it: the people in Jingqiang Village who were skilled in riding followed Yang Huaiyu and them out to rush out to the camp, and there were few people with superb horsemanship left in the village, and there were nearly 200 people in the party cavalry in the camp in front of the mountain who fled in all directions, maybe some of them gathered into a team, maybe they would control some war horses, and send a few soldiers to investigate the situation.
Zhong Hao didn't want to let the soldiers in the village make senseless sacrifices, so he gave up the idea of sending someone to visit.
Zhong Hao stood on the wall, praying that the Jingqiang village cavalry led by Yang Huaiyu would not touch the party cavalry. If they had made any mistakes, the victory of the night would have been overshadowed.
………………
The words are divided into two ends.
When the sharp arrow formation of Jingqiang Village pursued the last three party cavalry, Yang Meng and Yang Huaiyu, who were the sharp arrows, gradually distanced themselves from the Jingqiang Village cavalry in the rear formation.
By the time the Jingqiang cavalry in the rear pursued the pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge was broken. And Yang Meng and Yang Huaiyu, who were the front arrows of their array, had already crossed the pontoon bridge and pursued the last knight who seemed to be the commander of this group of party cavalry.
As the rear formation, the more than 20 Jingqiang village cavalry could not cross the river from the pontoon bridge for a while, and stopped at the bridgehead one after another.
Three of the twenty or so cavalrymen with the best horsemanship in Jingqiang Village were headed. It's no wonder that the heads of the five capitals of the Jingqiang Village Camp are the best warriors in each capital, and their riding skills are good and normal.
The three of them all summed up and decided to build the pontoon bridge first, guard the bridge, and wait to meet Yang Meng and Yang Huaiyu.
There are not many of them, and the reason why they were able to break through in the party camp just now was mainly because Yang Meng and Yang Huaiyu, who were the arrows of the front arrow, were too strong, and they rushed to kill with this team of Jingqiang village cavalry, and those party cavalry had already been tossed by ** bags and shocked horses. If they really want to rush and kill alone, it is still quite insufficient.
If it was dark today, they wanted to go to the west bank of the Guye River to meet Yang Meng and Yang Huaiyu, but they couldn't find their trace for a while. If they encounter the scout rangers of the party members who are scouting on the west bank, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to deal with easily.
Besides, there are only about 20 cavalry in Jingqiang Village, which is not much, if they all go to the west bank, I am afraid that the back road of the pontoon bridge will be cut off by the scattered party cavalry, and even if they find Yang Meng and Yang Huaiyu, they may be trapped on the west bank of the Guye River. If a part is divided, the number of people is smaller, and they are afraid that they will be eaten by the party scout rangers who are likely to be sentinels.
After the three of them discussed, they felt that it was safer to stay on this pontoon bridge to meet Yang Meng and Yang Huaiyu.
One of the leaders also offered to send someone back to Jingqiang Village to report the letter. But when everyone put it together, they didn't think it was appropriate. Now that the sky is dark, there are still many scattered party cavalry on the east bank of the Kuye River, and if only a few people are sent to report the news, in case they encounter a small group of party cavalry, I am afraid that there will be danger. There are many pies...... Well, I'm afraid the pontoon bridge is dangerous here. In the end, everyone still felt that guarding the pontoon bridge was the best way.
No one went back to report the news, Zhong Hao could only wait while standing on the wall, of course, these cavalry of Jingqiang Village were also waiting for Yang Meng and Yang Huaiyu at the bridgehead.
This is more than two hours.
It wasn't until the end of the hour, when the morning dawn had already appeared in the east, that there was a sound of horses' hooves.
The autumn night was very cold, and the Jingqiang Zhai cavalry waiting at the bridgehead was afraid that the war horses that had galloped and sweated just now would get cold, so they would lead the war horses for a while every once in a while. When they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the east side of the Kuno River, they were walking their horses.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, they didn't know whether they were friends or foes, and everyone hurriedly got on their horses and stood on guard.
Under the morning light, Yang Huaiyu took the lead and led the four Yang family members to the pontoon bridge of the Guye River. In front of Yang Huaiyu, there was also a party leader wearing armor lying on the saddle, constantly bumping and undulating as the war horse galloped, and he didn't know whether he was unconscious or dead.
"It's Sect Leader Yang, they're back!" The sharp-eyed Jingqiang Zhai cavalry saw Yang Huaiyu in the distance and couldn't help shouting, his voice full of joy.
The cavalry of Jingqiang Village, who was on full guard, couldn't help but relax when they heard the shouts of their comrades, and they were all overjoyed.
Last night, Yang Huaiyu and their leaders of the Jingqiang Village War Battalion took the lead in leading everyone to kill, and they were brave and unmatched, and the cavalry of the war camp were very impressed, and they were naturally overjoyed when they returned safely.
Yang Huaiyu came at a gallop with four generals, with joy on his face.
The three heads of the war camp hurriedly took the cavalry of Jingqiang Village to greet them: "We will welcome all the sect leaders, and congratulate Yang on the capture of the thief head!" ”
Yang Huaiyu laughed and said: "Haha, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, go, go back to the village to celebrate!" ”
"Go back to the village to celebrate!"
Everyone was overjoyed, and they turned their horses back to Jingqiang Village. (To be continued.) )
