Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Widows
This incident surprised Kuroko and Gao Liang, who thought that Yangma Island was just some unsuccessful and low-powered thieves, although the two were very nervous, they didn't expect that there would be horse thieves!
At this time, even Wang Zheng's Wendeng camp does not have a horse team.
Speaking of which, Wang Zheng thought about this matter, but he only thought about it, and after asking Guan Qingtian and some other people, he still dispelled the idea for the time being.
At present, horses are extremely scarce in Dengzhou Prefecture, even if they are imported from other places, the price of good horses is quite expensive, and now silver is needed everywhere, Wang Zheng only relies on the income of private salt, and he can't spare much money to form a horse team, so he has to shelve.
What's more, the horsemen are not so easy to train, throughout the entire Wendeng camp, there are very few people who are really familiar with horseback riding, and the most you can find in Dengzhou Mansion are the ruthless salt and the slender man with excellent water resistance.
Even if Huang Yang and Dong Youyin are only average, they do not meet the suitable candidates for the training horse team in Wang Zheng's mind.
Dengzhou Mansion encountered the most water thieves, and it was the first time that the soldiers of the Wendeng battalion encountered horse thieves, and the sunspots and Gao Liang were also eager to save people, but they didn't pay much attention at the time, and now they are a little afraid in retrospect.
"Xiao Ke, there will be no thieves to hurt you in the future, there is Brother Heizi."
The little girl who was rescued was only eight years old, and Kuroko only knew that her name was Xiao Ke, and she wore two pigtails, how she liked it.
Kuroko rode on the captured horse, holding Xiao Ke in his arms, recalling the battle not long ago, he still felt too lucky.
This time, the number of horse thieves is too small, and if there are hundreds of horse thieves hidden in the Zhuangzi in front of him, Kuroko is not sure if he can complete the task given to him by Wang Zheng.
Gao Liang rode the horse behind, watching the sunspot hug Xiao Ke tightly, and also smiled.
The reason why Heizi likes Xiao Ke so much Gao Liang naturally understands, in retrospect, the relatives of the two people are only the old lady at home, so on the night of the New Year in February, Gao Liang and Heizi are together, and the four of them are also lively together.
At that time, Kuroko once said that he used to have a younger sister, and he also doted on this sister the most, and then the family was unfortunate, and Kuroko's sister died early for some reason.
Gao Liang closed his eyes, and could vaguely recall the painful look on his face when he talked about it that night, shook his head, and shook this thought out of his head, this is a march outside, and Xietai is still waiting for his victory.
Suddenly, a spear pointed ahead, and wondered:
"You see, sentry, these people..."
Gao Liang and Heizi looked over when they heard the sound, and saw that a small manor was indeed built in the distance, and if they looked closely, the people who came and went outside did not look like Han people.
The people in front of them were busy carrying things to the carriage, and most of the people who carried things were thieves in Zhuangzi, but there were some people around who obviously didn't look like Han Chinese.
They stood aside, hugging their chests and giggling, wearing red and blue tights, and the long and narrow ones hanging from their waists did not look like Ming knives at all, although they were all short in stature, they were all shouting arrogantly, and their faces were hideous.
Deng Heizi frowned, clenched his fists, didn't want to believe what he saw in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said:
"It's a wolf!"
Gao Jing nodded, still in disbelief, and said: "I haven't seen any traces of the Japanese in the vicinity of Ninghai for more than ten years, how can there be Japanese in this Yangma Island?" ”
Although Kuroko and Gao Liang had never seen the Japanese Kou, they had heard from the older generation that the combat effectiveness of these dwarves from the other side of the sea should not be underestimated, and the officers and soldiers of the guard station were defeated more than they could.
Gao Liang said: "Or... We still returned to Xietai, and we were both robbers and horse thieves, and we would definitely suffer a lot of casualties after the defeat. ”
Hearing this, Kuroko looked back at him in surprise, and snorted coldly:
"Liangzi, do you think that our Wendeng Camp can't win against these Dongying dwarves? This is a good opportunity for you and me to behave in front of Xietai, don't ask Xietai about everything! ”
Gao Liang pondered for a long time, and felt that it was also true, since he had come to Yangma Island, he couldn't just go home empty-handed.
"How are you going to fight?"
Kuroko held his hand on the steel knife, stared at the Japanese who were being shipped in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
"Let's wait, the thieves don't have to worry about it, and they will annihilate these robbers first."
......
"Sentinel, the Wokou has moved!"
When it got dark, the outside of Qijiazhuang was finally loaded, and about eighty or so would-be pirates drove the carriage to the east with a swagger.
Kuroko loosened his muscles, spat out his phlegm, and asked:
"Damn, it's finally finished, and it's going east, what's in the east?"
"To the east is the dock, and it looks like the pirates are going to escape!"
"At their speed, we can rush to the front and ambush, remember, if we fight, we can't let any of them go!"
"Yes!"
The Japanese did not expect that there would be officers and soldiers coming, and they rushed to the car in a hurry, and Yangma Island was not big at all, that is, a quarter of Jinshanzuo.
The soldiers of the Wendeng camp trained day and night, and long-distance running was a necessary subject, and this time finally came in handy, and they soon rushed to the front of the Japanese Invaders, and when Heizi and Gao Liang each came to ambush with a sentry soldier, the Japanese Invaders had not yet seen a human figure.
The soldiers around Gao Liang squatted on the hillside with spears in hand, all a little nervous, after all, this was the first time to fight against the Japanese Invaders, and I heard that those dwarves were naturally murderous, and they didn't know if they could win the fight.
This time, Gao Liang deeply experienced that it was not easy to lead troops, and the more he understood, the more he was in awe of Wang Zheng, and he couldn't figure out how Wang Zheng came over.
"Here, Sentinel, are you fighting?"
Hearing this, Gao Liang looked ahead, and sure enough, a team of people appeared at the bottom of the slope, which was the same as the Japanese who he saw in the afternoon.
Gao Liang could even see the hideous faces of the front wrinkles, and hear their vulgar language.
"Don't be anxious, wait for all the pirates to come in and then fight, you can't let one go!"
The pirates were still talking and laughing, unaware of the danger.
Suddenly, the ground under the carriage at the front suddenly fell into a large pit, and the two widows on and around the carriage fell headlong into it.
The Japanese robbers were suddenly in chaos, and they all drew their knives and shouted indiscriminately, and Deng Heizi, who was ambushed on the other side, saw this scene, knew that the time had come, shouted, and came out first:
"Brothers, kill the widows!!"
Hundreds of Ming troops armed with spears suddenly rushed out from the hillsides on both sides, and if it was an ordinary thief, they would have scattered and fled, but the wouldn't have panicked.
Seeing that it was the Ming army that rushed in, several real Japanese gathered together and chattered a lot, and finally led the Japanese to meet them in two groups.
"Array, array!!"
When Kuroko and Gao Liang saw the Japanese invaders rushing in, they immediately changed their tactics of rushing and killing, and the soldiers of the Wendeng battalion also stopped under the order of the two, pointed the spears in their hands at the Japanese invaders, and waited for the battle.
