Chapter 75: "Incredible"
(0075)
[Today's third update is sent to ~~~ for collection, for recommendation~~~]
Those quasi-tartars who do all kinds of evil are tied together by ropes, threaded in strings, and lined up in a human wall. The soldiers of the convoy, hiding behind, pushed them slowly forward. The gap between the human walls is made up with an earthen shield. The musketeers followed behind the human wall, their muzzles resting on the shoulders of their comrades in front of them, ready to fire.
"Up!"
Zhang Zhun shouted coldly.
For the death of these quasi-Tartars, Zhang Zhun has no sympathy at all.
Whoever works for the Tartars, whoever they are, will be damned!
The soldiers of the convoy pushed the human wall slowly.
"Whoosh!"
Three arrows whizzed.
The human wall in front of him suddenly erupted with three blood arrows.
The three quasi-Tartars came to an end at once.
"Whoosh!"
Three more arrows flew in.
Three more would-be Tartars died.
The Tartar archers are indeed fierce, and the arrows are accurate and ruthless. They kept firing arrows, killing all the would-be Tartars in front of them. From time to time, sharp arrows flew past the scalps of the guards soldiers. However, the guards behind had already prepared, and pushed the corpses of these quasi-Tartars to continue to move forward, which were tightly protected in front of them. Due to the angle, the Tartar archers could not shoot in a sling.
"Whoosh!"
The Tartar archers were anxious and furious, and the speed of their arrows was even more violent.
"Puff puff!"
The arrows kept falling on the corpses of the would-be Tartars in front of them.
The human wall in front of him looks like a hedgehog, and his body is full of arrow shafts.
The target of the Tartar archers is actually the Guardian warriors. However, in the dark, the Tartar archers could not fully aim at the Guardian warriors, and their eyesight had not yet reached the realm of dark vision. They could only see shadowy figures, but they couldn't tell which figure was alive and which was dead. Besides, the gap between the human walls is too small. As a result, the convoy warriors slowly approached the Tartars.
Yang Qianqiang and others hurriedly carried the wounded down and treated them on the spot.
The airtight wall of people continues to move on.
"Shoot!"
Yang Zixuan saw that the distance was about the same, and immediately ordered to shoot.
"Bang bang bang!"
Thirteen muskets were fired one after the other.
The smoke of gunpowder was filled, the sound shook the sky, and the smell of gunpowder was choking.
Because the light was not very good, Zhang Zhun also couldn't see if the tartar was hit. However, when the gun rang out, there was a noticeable pause in the release of the Tartar's arrows, and someone should have been hit by a musket. Or maybe it was the Tartar archers who had to dodge the muskets.
In fact, the Tartars were also more afraid of the firearms of the Ming army, just as the Ming army was taboo about the Tartars' cavalry shooting. The wild boar skin, the boss of the Tartars, was killed by the artillery of the Ming army, and they could not help but take it as a warning. The firearms of the Ming army on the Liaodong front were not bad at all, what was bad was the courage to actively fight, and the shrewd and decisive command, which would lead to a great rout.
"Charge!"
"Put it again!"
Yang Zixuan shouted calmly.
The musketeers immediately lowered their muskets and reloaded.
"Whoosh!"
The Tartar archers shot their ferocious arrows again.
Their arrowheads, still shot at the human wall in front of them, did not have much effect.
Occasionally, a convoy soldier was shot and wounded, and someone immediately took their place and continued to push the impenetrable human wall. The Tartars on Fukushima had no horses, no room to retreat, and could only passively watch as the human wall got closer and closer, and the muskets got closer and closer.
"Shoot!"
About a minute later, Yang Zixuan's musket team finished recharging.
"Bang bang bang!"
Thirteen muskets were fired again.
The Tartar's bow and arrows were suddenly contained.
It took a while for the Tartar to shoot again, but the arrow was noticeably weaker.
There should have been a Tartar casualty.
"Charge!"
"Shoot!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Yang Zixuan issued the password in an orderly manner.
The musketeers reloaded, fired, reloaded, and fired in a loop......
"Bang bang bang!"
The gunfire continued to ring.
The smell of gunsmoke on the battlefield is getting stronger and stronger.
The counterattack of the Tartar archers grew weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
The human wall continued to move slowly.
Eventually, the human wall reached the entrance of the cave completely.
The tartars are already unresponsive.
"Ignition."
Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.
Several torches were lit and illuminated everything inside the cave.
The five Tartars had been killed by muskets, and their bodies were lying in all corners of the cave, and blood stained the entire cave. No matter how powerful they are, they are flesh and blood, and they can't stop the fire of muskets. What's more, there are also three powerful Rumi guns.
"They're all dead." After Li Jiaxi examined each corpse, he reported it to Zhang Zhun.
"Cut off the head and take it back to Maojiatun!" Zhang Zhun said coldly.
After a pause, Zhang Zhun said to Yang Junjie and Yang Hongwen again: "Carefully search the surroundings, all kinds of weapons and equipment, gold, silver and jewelry, parchment documents, all of which are centrally sealed. ”
Yang Junjie and Yang Hongwen agreed.
After some searching, I really gained a lot.
"According to rough statistics, three pairs of bows and arrows were seized, 32 arrows were used, 5 scimitars for Tartars, 67 ordinary steel knives, and 26 standard waist knives......"
Yang Hongwen reported.
The scimitars and bows and arrows carried by the five Tartars naturally became the trophies of the convoy. Although the Tartar bow and arrow are not exquisitely made, the lethality is very large, and when the string is full, it can shoot a distance of 150 meters, which is no less powerful than the Lumi Gun. The weapons carried by other quasi-Tartars are of good quality, although some weapons are not used by the escort team, but the second-line escort team can be equipped.
"In addition, there are some silver taels and wild ginseng ......"
Yang Hongwen continued to report.
From the battlefield, the escort team seized a total of about three hundred taels of silver, as well as five heavy gold ingots, each of which may weigh more than a dozen taels. To be honest, gold ingots are still very rare, and gold was too valuable at that time, and non-royal nobles and wealthy families would not have it. Even if they are rich and noble, such as Jin merchants, Hui merchants, and Zhejiang merchants, they rarely use gold.
Only when gold is produced in Liaodong, and the Houjin nobles have a large amount of gold, it will be cast into gold ingots and circulated for use. In fact, it may not be correct to say that the circulation and use of gold ingots will only be used by the high-level of the Houjin aristocracy in some special channels, and gold will never be seen in general commercial activities. The golden leaves, golden beans, and golden bills in martial arts novels are just fictions of later generations.
It seems that the relationship between these Tartars and Amin is really close, and they can even get gold ingots. That Shu Bu, if there is such a gold ingot in his hand, Zhang Zhun doesn't mind taking it over and using it at all. After taking Aoshanwei, we must turn Tianheng Island upside down.
However, the biggest capture in this battle was not gold and silver, but a large package of thousand-year-old wild ginseng, more than 30 of them. Changbai Mountain has always produced ginseng, and the ginseng of the Central Plains mainly comes from here. Since the rise of the Houjin Tartar, the trade of wild ginseng has been monopolized, and the thousand-year-old wild ginseng in the interior of the Central Plains has been abnormally out of stock, and the price is getting more and more expensive. In the hands of these tartars, there are so many wild ginseng, which is indeed unexpected by everyone. More than 30 wild ginseng, if you take it to Jiangnan to sell, you can sell it for at least 50,000 taels of silver.
"Captain, we've found these."
Li Jiaxi came over with a few pieces of parchment.
Zhang Zhun took a closer look and found that there were many words written on the parchment, which seemed to be traditional characters, but they were not quite similar. He looked left and right, and found that he really couldn't read. The parchment was shown to the rest of the escort, and everyone said they couldn't read it.
"Take it back first."
Zhang Zhun commanded.
Then, everyone worked together to find a place to bury the dead man's body. With so many corpses, if they were thrown into the sea, they would definitely pollute the waters. There happened to be a cliff next to it, so everyone threw the corpses under the cliff and covered them with dirt.
By the time it was all done, it was already morning and it was getting dark. When I watched Fukushima last night, I didn't think there was anything, and the tidal flats were even more palpitating. When I looked at Fukushima during the day, I realized that it was actually quite beautiful. With the exception of the tidal flats, the rest of the beach is snow-white. It can only be said that their luck was really bad last night, and they happened to land at the location of the tidal flat.
"Let's go back!"
Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said.
Everyone packed up their things, carried the bodies of the wounded and sacrificed soldiers, burned the huts on the island, and then returned on a sampan. Because it was daytime, everyone didn't need the pirate ship to transfer it, and they returned to Maojiatun directly from Fukushima.
Maojiatun's fathers and villagers are waiting on the shore. See the triumphant return of the convoy while cheering. Liu Hang, Wang Mingyu and others were also very happy, and came up to ask about the battle. Zhang Zhun briefly introduced last night's battle, and both of them were deeply impressed.
The heads of the five Tartars were soon displayed in front of the villagers. Together with the previously slaughtered Tartars, there are thirteen in total. After the formation of the convoy, in the first battle, thirteen Tartars were slaughtered, and hundreds of quasi-Tartars were slaughtered. Such a result cannot but be said to be brilliant. If not the last, it is certainly unprecedented.
"Incredible."
"Incredible."
"Incredible."
Mao Sanye used three incredible words in a row to describe the record of the escort team.
He had been to the front line in Liaodong, and he had personally fought with the Tartars, so he knew how powerful the Tartars were. The entire Liaodong Town, as well as the Dongjiang Town that cooperated with the Liaodong Town, had hundreds of thousands of Ming officers and soldiers, and they might not be able to slaughter thirteen Tartars in one battle. The convoy consisted of only 400 people, but he had done this, and he had to feel that he was too old to keep up with the requirements of the times.
Zhang Zhun asked Peng Bo to tell the villagers about the battle, comfort the injured fathers and villagers, and temporarily handed over the troops to Yang Zhiyuan and Hao Linyong to lead, while he took the captured parchment and returned to Yangjiatun. He felt that the content on the parchment might be useful to him, but no one could understand the words on it. Now in the entire Yangjiatun, the person who is likely to understand the text above should be Xue Zhidie. In all fairness, she is quite knowledgeable.
As soon as he returned to Yangjiatun, Zhang Zhun met Yang Yinghan.
"You're back!"
Yang Yinghan was overjoyed, and shouted in surprise and joy.
She hadn't seen Zhang Zhun for a long time. However, when she wanted to say something, she suddenly found that Xue Zhidie and Xue Ningying were both here with her. It turns out that the weather has gradually become hotter recently, and the three eldest girls have also become acquainted, sometimes sleeping together at night, and often together during the day.
Yang Yinghan also learned to calculate with Xue Zhidie and learn to read and write. When Xue Zhidie started, he was still full of hard work, and Yang Yinghan's progress was also very fast. However, when Xue Zhidie learned that the four mixed operations were actually invented by Zhang Zhun, he did not teach other calculation methods, and also learned from Yang Yinghan. She is a girl who loves to learn, but unfortunately she doesn't have the right relationship with Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun didn't care that Xue Zhidie was looking at him beside him, and said with a smile: "What? Missed me? ”
