Chapter 1230: It's Dark Under the Light
readx; What a massacre!
Mao Wenlong was ruined by Shi Chunhu, but he couldn't afford to provoke Jinyiwei no matter what, and he had to do everything possible to protect them from death, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live. The pen was www.biquge.infoβ a top novel, so he had to vent his anger on the people in the village, and with an order, hundreds of soldiers first attacked the more than 100 unarmed Han army banner soldiers.
One side is defenseless, and the other side is ready to go, so can there be a good one? In an instant, blood flowed in the center of the village, and none of the more than 100 traitors escaped. Even if a few people fight to the death and defeat a Ming army, they can't avoid the fate of being chopped into meat sauce.
The terrible howls spread throughout the village, and terrified old people, women, and children rushed out of their houses and fled desperately outside. But this is completely futile, Mao Wenlong has already arranged more than 100 soldiers outside the stockade in advance, how can these people who have no combat effectiveness escape? The five hundred soldiers had already killed the red eyes, and the big blades flew up and down, and within five or six minutes, they had already slaughtered all the people who had fled.
Mao Wenlong led his troops to search from house to house, except for horses, as long as they were alive, even if it was a chicken or a dog, they were killed mercilessly. After making sure that there were no fish that slipped through the net, the next thing was naturally a complete looting, and all the gold and silver in the stockade were found and loaded on horses, and only a rough estimate was worth thousands of taels of silver.
Next, everyone thought that Mao Wenlong was going to drink on the spot as usual, but Mao Wenlong ordered: "Cut off the heads of all the dead corpses, even the pig's head and the dog's head, and build it for the general!" β
The soldiers and ruffians had already worshiped Mao Wenlong like a god, so they naturally followed the order. A short time later, a hill of nearly a thousand heads appeared in the middle of the stockade. The heads of men, women, and children mingled with pig's and dog's heads, some with bloody eyes at the corners of their mouths, while others had their eyes wide open, still with expressions of regret and horror at the last moment.
Facing this mountain of skulls in the midst of this pile of blood, even people with strong psychological endurance can't stand it. Except for Mao Wenlong, everyone vomited. Mao Wenlong didn't care, and ordered someone to remove a door panel, dip it in blood and write five crooked characters on it: The fate of the traitor!
Mao Wenlong personally climbed the head mountain, inserted this door panel at the top, and then stepped back and looked at it with satisfaction for a while, and shouted: "Open it immediately!" β
Shi Chunhu asked puzzledly, "General, why don't you rest for half a day before leaving?" β
"That's not going to work." Mao Wenlong said solemnly, "Liaodong is not as good as the Mongolian steppe, although it is still vast and sparsely populated, there are villages at most dozens of miles away. With such a small number of troops, once we let the Tartars block, we will definitely die. We could not rest for a moment, and we had to run a hundred miles before dark, so that even if the Tartars soon found out that we had attacked this place, it would be difficult to find our trace. β
The crowd had no choice but to gallop their horses one after another, and soon left the dead and silent stockade far behind. Shi Chunhu found that Mao Wenlong was walking due east, and couldn't help asking: "General, from Guangning to the east is Liaoyang, which is an important town in Liaodong, and there must be heavy Tartar troops stationed there." Where do we go, will we not fall into a trap? β
Mao Wenlong smiled proudly: "Brother Shi, the old brother and the Tartar have been around for many years, I know exactly what these animals are thinking. Yes, the cavalry of the Tartars was very powerful, but that was when they assembled into an army and went out on a large scale. When the enemy and us are in a period of confrontation, the Tartars will station most of their elite troops in the front line, and the remaining part will remain in Shenyang, and the rest of the places will be very empty. In the past, the successive governors of Liaodong, the governor of Jiliao and even the governor Sun Ge Lao all went straight to Jinzhou from Shanhaiguan, just like hitting the strong wall of the Tartars.
"My brother never did it so brutally. I only dispatched once or twice a year to Phi Island, for as little as half a month and at most a month, to select Tartars to defend the empty stockades and forts. Like the great victory in Zhenjiang in the third year of the Apocalypse, I had already detected in advance that the main force of the Tartars went out of the city to kill the Han and Koreans along the Yalu River, so I was able to attack Zhenjiang Fort with only 200 people, and killed more than 1,000 people in the fort. By the time the Tartars returned, I had already gone away.
"It's the same now. The Tartars didn't know that we had infiltrated Liaodong, especially not that we would dare to pass outside such an important town as Liaoyang. Even if the stockade is discovered, they will desperately search in the southwest direction and will not pay attention to the east, which is called darkness under the lights. β
Shi Chunhu was convinced when he heard this, and nodded frequently: "In this way, do we have a chance to sneak attack Liaoyang?" β
Mao Wenlong hurriedly shook his head and said, "Liaoyang is not comparable to Zhenjiang Fort. Do you know why I chose the stockade just now? Because I have long known that this area is the territory of the Han Army Banner, and the Han Army Flag is much easier to deal with than the real Tartar. In a big city like Liaoyang, there must be the main force of the Eight Banners of Tartars, and of course we can't touch it. β
Shi Chunhu couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, Mao Wenlong smiled when he saw it: "Do you think that you can't kill the real Tartar, it's a bit unpleasant?" In fact, although the Tartars fought bravely, they did not produce crops, and the military supplies during the battle were all supplied by the slaves of this class of Han people. If we kill one more traitor, the Tartars will have less food and wages, and it will be more difficult to assemble a large army. We don't have to pay many casualties, so why not? β
Shi Chunhu was silent after hearing this, savoring Mao Wenlong's strategy and tactics in his heart. At this time, the sky was full of snowflakes again, the north wind was bitter, and the soldiers were still complaining despite their thick leather coats.
Seeing this, Mao Wenlong encouraged: "Everyone gritted their teeth and persisted for a few more days, as long as we fought one more battle, we could be a class teacher!" When the time comes, there will be food and women, and General Ben will let you have a good time for a few days! β
The morale of the soldiers was just a little depressed, and when they heard Mao Wenlong make such a promise, they were overjoyed, and they screamed wildly against the cold wind. Shi Chunhu asked in surprise: "This... General, we spent a lot of effort to get around Liaodong from the grassland, why did we just have to fight a battle? Besides, the saint has repeatedly told him not to rape a silver woman..."
"Hehe, Brother Shi, you still don't know much about the old brother's methods." Mao Wenlong laughed and said, "We are swords that go sideways, attacking behind the Tartars, and we don't need to fight many battles at all." As long as you do it two or three times, do you want the tartars to sleep soundly? They will lay down all their work and search everywhere, and we will cross the Yalu River to Korea, and let the Tartars work in vain, no less effective than a bloody battle. β
"Oh!" Shi Chunhu suddenly realized.
"Got it!" Mao Wenlong smiled treacherously, "As for the woman I talked to this gang of ruffians, she will not violate military discipline." When I arrived in North Korea, my own woman sent me to the door, and I couldn't get rid of it! β
