A skirmish of cavalry outposts on the north bank of the Yellow River was quickly over.

In less than a quarter of an hour, eleven of the twelve Qing soldiers were killed, and only one was seriously wounded and fell under the horse, and at this time he was also dragged out, his face was pale and trembling, and he was muttering something in Manchu that everyone could not understand.

Of the thirty-one Ming troops, three were killed and seven were wounded, and the rest were safe and sound, except for a few young men who were out of strength on the battlefield, who had unloaded their armor at this time and were being comforted and massaged by their partners.

The rest of the Ming army, except for those who were ordered to go to the perimeter to guard, were panting, leading horses, and standing on the battlefield waiting for further instructions from Lu Dalei.

"Just a group of infantry armor killed three of my subordinates, what a group of brutes."

After this bloody battle, Lu Dalei also had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Qing army.

The Ming army came suddenly, after the Qing army patrolled for a day, and wreaked havoc in the village, and robbed the women of wine and meat to enjoy themselves, these Qing troops still made the fastest response at the first time, and quickly fought back, to several times the number of people, and there was excellent armor, sharp swords of the Ming army brought a certain amount of damage.

In addition to the fact that the opponent did not send patrols to guard the perimeter, there was really nothing to find fault with.

Of course, this is due to the arrogance of the Qing army, and there is nothing to say.

The performance of the Ming army has been too poor in the past few decades, which also caused these Qing soldiers to not expect that they would also be attacked.

And their armor is very ordinary, except for Bashiku, which is iron, the rest are cotton armor, and the armor body is inlaid with iron sheets, which is very heavy and inconvenient to exert force.

may be related to the fact that they are the most excluded banner in the Qing army, and it is only related to the infantry armor, the armor is not thick, the weapons are average, and the level of martial arts and horsemanship is above the knights of the Ming army, but it has not reached the level of terror.

Just thinking of the vests on top of it, as well as the white armors that were later organized as the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Guardian Battalion, Lu Dalei also felt a little heavy.

However, the young man's heart is extremely high, although he was surprised by the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, but looking at the iron armor on the partners around him, the stainless steel saber in his hand, and the strong and strong figures, invisibly, the mood of this Pingyu army sentry commander was much calmer.

"We will also fight stronger and stronger, and my Ming manpower and material resources exceed the opponent by a hundred times, Donglu will fight weaker and weaker, but we are fighting stronger and stronger!"

This point of view is, of course, the credit of the Department of Culture and Education, when teaching soldiers what is China, what is the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, what is the world, what is the nation, and naturally there are many teachings on the geography of the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and the culture and education of products.

It's just that these people in the Department of Culture and Education don't know much about themselves, and later Zhu Cihong personally compiled the textbooks, about the Ming Dynasty's manpower and material resources exceeded the opponent by a hundred times, as well as the number of Dongyu, the number of men, material reserves, the geographical environment conditions in the north, etc., these were also compiled and written in the textbooks by Zhu Cihong himself.

There aren't many people who might appreciate the subtleties of it. However, there were many sergeants who only remembered that their side was far superior in numbers and material resources...... Of course, this is a very nice side effect.

"Check the items brought by the Dongyu, keep the good knives and guns, bring gold and silver, carry the military equipment such as the flag, and leave the tents and pots and stoves to the people of the village."

In the firelight, Lu Dalei finally noticed a group of frightened half-dead women, and in the darkness, many people who had been hiding slowly came over.

They didn't dare to get too close, because whether it was a thief, an officer or an officer, or including this Eastern captive, all the soldiers who ate food were the same, and sometimes the officers and soldiers were even more ruthless than the thieves.

As soon as the officers and soldiers came, they had to kill and burn Zhuangzi, and the women did not let go of one, in the past few years of the Henan army and the officers and soldiers, and the battlefield was close to the place where the great disaster was suffered, even if the Zhuangzi here in front of him had not encountered such a tragedy before, but the people spread the word of mouth, everyone was trembling, lest the front door reject the wolf, and the back door entered the tiger.

After hearing Lu Dalei's words, all the people present breathed a sigh of relief.

"God, why didn't you come earlier!"

It was about one of the humiliated women who suddenly cried first, then all the women cried, then the children cried, and finally the men also squatted on the ground, sighing and wiping their tears.

Lu Dalei's heart was also like soaking in tears, not up or down, not down.

The soldiers of the Ming Army, who were a little disgusted by the murder just now, were all pale at this time, and in addition to being angry, they were also with a little pride and relief.

These soldiers, a few months ago, were the children of the same family as these people in front of them, and you can imagine the hardship and sadness of these people, and they can empathize with them.

And he was very proud and proud that he had finally killed these humanoid beasts.

"You have to kill all the captives!" Lu Dalei struck hard with his right hand on the willow tree beside him, and the rough bark touched the broken skin and flesh of his palm, and the blood flowed, but the young sentry chief did not feel any pain at all.

These Eastern soldiers have harmed this Zhuangzi too much.

Robbed such a large group of women, a little property and livestock of the Zhuang people were also robbed and killed and eaten, and when they resisted, or there was no decent resistance, these Eastern soldiers killed several of the people in the Zhuang in order to establish their authority.

Now the families of these slain people also rushed over, and smashed the corpse of Dongyu with palladium and forks, and after a while, it became a pile of meat puree.

The soldier who did not die was even more targeted, first with sticks, and then many women came up to scratch and bite, and after a while, his moans could not be heard, and only a pile of rotten meat remained.

After listening to the people's weeping for a long time, Lu Dalei decided to leave all the gold and silver for the village, and these things were also looted by these Eastern soldiers.

This kind of regulation is to put an end to the previous shortcomings of the Ming army, in a key battle between the Qin army and Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng was the first to deceive, of course, it may also be a real defeat. When the army was defeated and left, they left behind the gold and silver, but the Ming army rushed up to pick it up, and the queue was chaotic, and the generals could not copy it.

was caught by this kind of opportunity, and the army returned the division, and as a result, the Qin army was defeated, which was simply a nest.

It's just that it is impossible for the Ming army to affirm military discipline, civilian officials are subject to the general army, the general army is subject to the generals, and the generals are subject to the soldiers. There is really a statement of military discipline, and once it is cleared to the end, I am afraid that there will be no soldier left who can run.

That's okay, make a battalion change or something, and the soldiers will kill people, but it doesn't matter if you are the governor or the general of the army.

The military discipline of the Pingyu Army is based on generous treatment, the monthly salary is paid, the food is easy to use, the sense of collective honor has long been cultivated, and there is no resistance to all the regulations on the redistribution of seizures to the public from top to bottom, and naturally there is no need to fail to enforce them.

As for such a small team, of course, there are no people from the Judge Advocate General's Department, but if there is anything wrong afterwards, as long as you report it to the Judge Advocate General's Department, in addition to secrecy, there will be a fairly high reward, so it is even more unlikely that anyone will dare to defy the law.

Although it hurt his own interests, none of Lu Dalei's subordinates objected.

The seizures were soon counted, and there were more than 300 taels of silver, more than 100 strings of copper coins, and a few ingots of gold, which were probably taken from a wealthy family.

In addition, it is some jade bracelets, gold and silver five offerings, copper furnace Buddha statues and the like, although there are many things, but there are almost no top grades, they are some big road goods, not worth anything.

After all, in these years, those who have a little family background live in the city, or they build their own villages to protect themselves, and it is really ordinary families who live in the villages.

The sum of the various pieces is not worth a thousand silver, which is about the harvest of several Zhuangzi collected by the Dongyu.

The poverty of the people of Henan can be seen in the seizure of these eastern captives.

Disasters have been encountered year after year, and the disasters have been linked since the early years of Chongzhen, Henan has been worse than a year after year, at this time, these robbers who killed people and set fires robbed how many villages to get such a point, and the poverty of the place can also be seen.

When they heard that they were going to divide the silver, everyone's eyes were shining, and they were scared to death just now, but now they were scrambling to move forward, and they were almost crowded and pushed open.

"It's noisy, and it doesn't pay a penny!"

Lu Dalei was furious, and finally stabilized the people, and simply put the items into piles according to the family unit, and each family divided some of them.

In the end, there were still a lot of left, and the villagers present were all reluctant and suspicious in their eyes.

"Sentry Chief, didn't you just say that it was all given to them?"

Some people were puzzled and asked. Lu Dalei smiled bitterly: "It's because I'm not careful, the village that was robbed is not one of them, it's all divided, aren't other villages too much of a loss?" Let's not do anything else tonight, let's go from village to village and divide the money. ”

I see, all the soldiers smiled.

Tonight's events are really something I haven't experienced in my previous life, and I haven't even dared to think about it. And at this moment, in addition to the pride of success, there is also the pleasure of revenge, and the sorrow of the death and injury of brothers, coupled with the sense of responsibility and pride of being the master of the people, all the emotions are distorted together, and the soldiers of the Pingyu Army Cavalry Camp present have gained more experience than they have in their previous lives in an instant.

This is the essence of battlefield training!

In the barracks, there is no real knife and gun, no innocent victims, no such complicated situation, no book or verbal knowledge, no real knife and gun to do it more clearly and really!

In addition to gold and silver, twenty-one war horses were also captured, among which there were several of the best horses in the district. The Qing army raised its own horses, and their Mongol allies were very effective, so horses were the most important strategic resources, although the Ming army was not short of horses, but it was difficult to store and buy them in the south, and the cavalry of the Pingyu army had only three battalions, which was caused by the lack of horses.

At this time, a lot of seizures were made, and weapons such as tiger tooth knives, picking knives, eyebrow tattoo knives, and tiger guns were also made of fine iron, and the harvest was very rich.

In the night, under the leadership of Lu Dalei and the thunderous praise and gratitude of the people, this small group of cavalry quickly disappeared into the boundless night with the capture.

More battles await them.
