Chapter 157: The People Are Suffering

The once invincible Tartars were actually defeated at their own hands, although the number was small, but this still made the hearts of all the soldiers feel lifted.

The Tartars had already retreated, and the remaining Koreans and traitors were almost immediately defeated, rushing to the beach in the rear, for fear that they would be too late and there would be no boats.

Some of the warriors began to sweep the battlefield, cutting off the heads of the real Tartars, which were of great use.

The iron armor and tiger head knife on the Tartar's body were also taken away without pulling it, and even the chain mail attached to it was ripped off the corpse with all hands and feet, and the soldiers threw it on the cart and pushed it back to the ship.

Although some of the iron armor has been damaged, there is an ochre mine on Yangma Island, and when the war is over, it will be returned to the blacksmith shop in the state city to repair it, and it will be a good iron armor.

After years of disasters and famines, all the resources that can be used must be utilized.

The momentum of the Wendeng camp was like a rainbow, and at this time it should have been pursued by victory, but Wang Zheng did not chase, but just took the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

The Koreans and traitors were really defeated, but the Tartars retreated in an orderly manner, and any soldier was raised by his father, and Wang Zheng didn't want to lose one more.

Since there is a perfect plan, why fight for the pleasure of this moment, it is not too late to find out the empty island first.

The battlefield was a mess, but there was nothing to clean up, it was only because it was difficult to see clearly in the dark that the soldiers spent a little more effort, but it wouldn't be long in total.

At this time, there was no trace of the Qing army in the houses under the slope, and Wang Zheng walked into the courtyard where the Qing army staff lived and looked to the side.

"It seems that the Tartars were in a hurry, and they didn't bring anything so important."

The courtyard is full of all kinds of materials, including the ring-headed broadsword commonly used by the Eight Banners Army, as well as boxes of tiger guns and iron armor, and there are many chain mails.

It wasn't long before soldiers from other places came back to report the same discovery.

Dong Youyin walked back excitedly, saying that he had found a lot of gold, silver and silk in the cave where the North Koreans lived, and he didn't bother to pull them away when he ran, and it should have been taken by the Tartars from other places.

This was an unexpected joy, and Wang Zheng immediately ordered someone to count it.

As a result, counting the battle captures, there are more than 2,000 pairs of chain mail, which is enough to assemble the entire Wendeng battalion, there are more than 800 pairs of iron armor, and the Tartar armor infantry army is accustomed to using the most ring-headed broadsword, with nearly 3,000 handles.

This kind of ring-headed broadsword requires the user to have a lot of strength, and it is much more powerful than the standard waist knife equipped with the Ming army.

In addition, what made Wang Zheng happiest was the boxes of tiger guns!

This kind of tiger gun is different from the vermilion and white-tipped spear that is now standard in the Wendeng camp, and it is made of stainless steel, which is the most ideal standard weapon in Wang Zheng's heart, and the Bayala battalion of the Tartar is equipped with everyone.

The body of each tiger gun is made of fine iron, and someone once said: "The advantage of the tiger gun can be hole in iron armor." ”

If everyone in the Wendeng camp is equipped with this kind of spear, even if the opponent is a Baya Tartar wearing heavy silver armor, the soldiers will be able to pierce him in the heart with a single shot!

There was nothing to say, Wang Zheng immediately took out the soldiers of the two outposts to assemble all the ordnance and materials, and transported them back to Yangma Island in several medium-sized cargo ships, first stored them in the treasury there, and then transported them back to the state city after the war was over.

"General Qiyu, the Tartars have boarded the ship and fled to North Korea!" A soldier trotted back to give his report.

Wang Zheng nodded, there is still a long way to go to North Korea, and it is easy for the big ship of the Wendeng camp to catch up with the small sailing ship of the Tartars, and this is not in a hurry.

"Gao Liang, take the people of the two sentinels to clear the remnants of the Qing army on the empty island."

Gao Liang was playing with a tiger spear, this silver-white stainless steel spear, how to look at it, suddenly heard Wang Zheng's order, even if there were a hundred reluctance, he immediately put down the tiger spear, Zhengse said:

"Humble orders!"

The soldiers of the two outposts immediately dispatched to encircle and suppress the Qing troops who had not had time to board the ship.

There weren't many Tartar boats, and they didn't care about the rest of the people on the island, and they left the empty island without looking back, bent on running back to North Korea as soon as possible.

The Qing troops still on the island were all Koreans and Han Chinese, and they did not have a unified commander, although there were many people, they were all like headless flies scurrying back and forth on the island.

The commander of the Wendeng battalion commanded the soldiers to disperse in teams, whether they surrendered or resisted, they killed people when they saw them, leaving no way to live at all, and the faint sound of fighting appeared on the island again.

"General, you'd better go and have a look! We found some women there, who were supposed to be the people here, but ......"

An officer of the team came to the king to report to the king, and as he spoke, he looked embarrassed.

Following the team of officers to this courtyard, Wen Dengbing was already standing around, and they were all relieved to see Wang Zheng coming.

Pushing open the door, about a dozen expressionless and numb women looked at Wang Zheng.

Their bodies were still alive, but their hearts seemed to have been dead for a long time, and even Wang Zheng felt a cold chill in their eyes, like a dozen dead people.

At this time, Wang Zheng noticed that the bodies of these women were dirty and messy, and several of them were almost unkempt, and their hair was unkempt and knotted.

"The Tartars usually feed them as pigs and dogs, and they often spoil them, these hateful Tartars..."

Out of the hut on one side came an old man, gray-haired, on crutches, limping and trembling when he walked.

Wang Zheng couldn't bear it, so he personally stepped forward to support the old man, helped him to sit on the stone steps, and then asked loudly:

"Old manβ€”β€”, we are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, what about the other people here?"

"I'm not deaf! Now, the best thing to do is the ears! The old man laughed, and Wang Zheng noticed that his teeth were almost gone.

I saw that the old man looked at one of the many numb women, and said bitterly:

"What's the matter, I'll just say, one day, the court will come to take us back! You guys.... Alas..."

The old man suddenly sighed again as he spoke, and said leisurely:

"Don't hide it from adults, our empty island is small, these Tartars came a few months ago, the men and children in the village were killed, my old bones have long been not afraid of death, these murderous Tartars somehow let me go."

"In the first month, everyone was still looking forward to someone in the court to come to the rescue, but there was no one left and right, and I heard from those traitors who took refuge in the Tartars that the official army was defeated and retreated, and the Tartars actually went to the Beijing Division, and even the emperor couldn't do anything about them!"

"At first, everyone just relied on a force to hold on, and when this strength was discharged, everyone didn't want to do this, and gradually, it all became like this......"

Speaking of this, two muddy tears suddenly slipped from the old man's eyes, he held Wang Zheng's hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice:

"That Aunt Liu, Qi Niangzi, and Sister Zhang are all crazy, all crazy! Not one escaped from the Tartars, they were all ruined..."

"My lord, you said that this tartar is still not human, ah? How to do it is not as good as pigs and dogs, that Cui'er is only thirteen this year, and Tartar will not let go of such a young child. ”

The old man sat there talking, and the dozen women were still standing in the courtyard, looking at the warriors around them with numb expressions, like a dozen lifeless wooden poles.

Gradually, more and more warriors gathered here, and everyone clenched their fists tightly after hearing the old man's words.

The sentry officer Du Yuan couldn't bear it, and ordered a soldier to take a mandarin duck jacket, stepped forward lightly, did not dare to use force, and held his breath to drape the mandarin duck jacket on a woman's shoulders to cover her body.

Suddenly, the woman turned her head and looked at her expressionlessly, so frightened that Du Yuan subconsciously held the knife.

But the woman suddenly burst out laughing, and laughed out loud, and then into a crazy laugh.

It's just that this smiling face is so dazzling in Du Yuan's eyes, and it is so sad and indignant in the ears of the surrounding soldiers.

When the old man heard this, he sighed heavily and said:

"This is Qi Niangzi, she only got married on the first day of Tartar's coming, the man and the son were killed by Tartar, and she was also ruined..."

"Ugh...."
