Chapter 224: Useless Things
Sichuan saw that the sun was about to set in the west.
Zhuangzi poured the canal water to protect the east, north and south sides of the village, which was not a problem for Wang Dou. Looking at the hundreds of Qing soldiers on the village wall, the dozens of armored soldiers were even more ready to fight. In their case, Wang Dou estimated that some of the armored soldiers had participated in the previous battles, or they were notified that they knew the fierceness of their army.
He sneered and ordered: "Transfer the five big Buddha wolf machines to come over and blast the village door open."
It's getting late, I can't go back today, and it's not a good place to camp around this Goryeo Village. And Zhuangzi is good, after the breakthrough, thousands of people squeezed inside, and they can still live.
Under Wang Dou's order, Zhao Xuan excitedly transferred five Buddha wolf machine cannons, and the doors were all aimed at the south gate of Zhuangzi. The rest of the sergeants were lined up on the northeast side of the village, and the two teams did not receive the night, but they scattered a group to the vicinity of the village to report the possible enemy situation of all parties at any time.
Seeing that several artillery pieces of the Ming army under the village were aimed at his village gate, the face of the defender of the village was white, he had participated in the previous war, and naturally knew the strength of this Ming army. Five Buddha wolf machine artillery is just a round of bombardment, Zhuang Gate was collapsed, Zhuang Qing soldiers shouted, immediately from the north gate of Zhuang rushed away, with the dock and bridge gate. Flee to the north side of the canal. They shouted all the way and went nowhere.
Li Guangheng said excitedly beside Wang Dou: "General, do you want to pursue?" ”
Wang Dou shook his head: "That's it, it's important to get down to business."
He ordered Han Zhong to send a total of troops into Zhuang to sweep and see if there were any remaining remnants of the Qing army.
Han Zhongling led the chief Zhong Xiancai into the village. Zhong Xiancai led hundreds of sergeants into the village like wolves, and a team of captains of spearmen, fire soldiers, and sword and shield soldiers turned around in the village, and kicked open the doors of the houses to inspect, but there was no one inside, and even the original villagers were gone. Either fleeing or being taken captive by the Qing soldiers.
Wife Dou waved her hand: "Enter the village." ”
Thousands of troops swept into the village, squeezing the inside, and Wang Dou occupied the inside.
After a few days of fighting and food shortage, the soldiers also understood this truth, but they just looked at the silver in vain and did not take it, and this concept changed. It's too hard, it's too hard. The act of taking the silver was almost instinctive and subconscious.
After Zhong Tiaoyang's strong drink, they woke up. Carrying bags of grain to one's own wagon or wheelbarrow.
The officers of the battalion headquarters lifting team also shouted from the side: "The action is quick, load the grain on the car quickly, don't want red and white things, only transport grain and grass."
The barn was busy, and no one paid attention to the white silver rolling down on the ground.
Zhong Tiaoyang walked out of the warehouse, and the cold wind was shining. I saw the guerrilla general Wang Dou facing the sunset in the west, standing not far away looking at the canal.
On this side of the canal, go out along the north gate of the village, almost all of the bluestone are built within dozens of steps by the river, this area used to be a prosperous wharf, and the wharf side is densely packed with tall warehouses, and I don't know what big businessmen or magnates belong to the local people. From all over the warehouse into the north gate of the village, a bluestone road or a small stone road, very easy to walk, compared to the potholed official road, this road is really a first-class road.
Now that the soldiers in Wang Dou's army are cheap, all of them are smiling, coming out of various warehouses, pushing vehicles full of grain, and entering the village in a mighty way. After hundreds of military vehicles are fully loaded, at least for this month, the army will not have to worry about food and rice. Seeing Wang Dou's serious expression, many of the officers and guards beside him were silent, standing silently and solemnly. Directly in front of Wang Dou, there is a bridge lock, which leads directly to the opposite side of the canal, and there are also dense warehouses on that side. At this time, Wang Dou was looking at those warehouses and pondering.
Zhong Tiaoyang stepped forward and saluted Wang Dou, Wang Dou turned his head, looked at Zhong Tiaoyang and said, "What's going on in the warehouse?" ”
Zhong Tiaoyang said, Wang Dou smiled: "My cousin is a person who understands, and those silvers are indeed yuan, and they are used." ”
Then he began to ponder again, and Han Zhong and Wen Fangliang beside Wang Dou cracked their mouths, and their expressions were quite regretful and pity.
After a long time, Wang Dou sighed lightly: "Let's move a box of silver and go, some of the wounded brothers in our army may not be able to go out with us in the near future." Those silvers can be arranged in the capital division and take care of their bodies
Zhong Tiaoyang arched his hand and gave a few orders to a team officer beside him, and the team officer strode away.
Zhong Tiaoyang took a step closer, and Shi Wang Dou said: "General, the grain and grass we carry are enough for our army to eat for a month." However, there are still a lot of wheels left in the warehouses to loot the grain and rice, and what to do with the heavy weight of the grain and grass? ”
Han Zhong laughed and said, "Of course, all the fires have been burned, is it left to the godson, so that they can eat and drink enough, so that they can attack our soldiers and people?" ”
Wen Fangliang suddenly said: "General, the last general has a different opinion
"If we burn down these storehouses," he said. If there is a lack of food and grass, they will continue to attack the surrounding areas, and the officers and troops in various places will not have the combat strength of our Shunxiang army, and more people in the city will suffer. If they do not burn it, they will have food for the time being, and the people in the vicinity may be able to save it. And we can be our granary in this place, and when there is a shortage of food in the future, we will come and get it at any time, and if it burns down, it will be a pity. ”
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Moreover, these warehouses are all owned by Haoqiang in the land of Gyeonggi, and the godson has not burned them, if we burn them,"
Han Zhong shouted: "Old Wen, do you think that if you have food to save your son, you won't rob it?" They plundered everywhere, and in addition to feeding and drinking their own army, they also brought the proceeds back to their godson's den, and for the sake of the people, they will not be like you
He even shouted: "Haoqiang is a fart, they are afraid of their godson like a tiger, leaving these warehouses and enemies, what if we burn them?" ”
The two argued endlessly, and finally looked at Wang Dou and listened to him deal with it.
