Chapter 986: Hunting
Since Li Chengliang raised his army, the Li family has dominated Liaozhen for nearly 30 years, and his power is naturally not only the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the surface, more than 10,000 families, but the private relationship must be intertwined. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The old man is still sure of this, even if it is a place where the Tartars are active, the old man is sure to spread the news."
Hearing Li Chengliang's answer, Wang Tong nodded and said in a deep voice:
"In that case, there is a news that should be spread as soon as possible, and let these Tartars know as soon as possible."
Yu Feng is a military household in the ancient city of Weigutun, Haizhou, it is not too accurate to say this, no one in Liao Town is not a military household, to be precise, Yu Feng's family is a full-time farming military household, and all the men in their family have no possibility of becoming soldiers, they can only farm and work, which is no different from the farmers in the Guannei.
Here in Liaozhen, because there are fewer people and more land, the harvest is better, so there is no need for all the labor to be used for farming, if you can go to the army, then the family tax will be reduced, if you can be a personal guard pacesetter in the Li family or something, there are even people to help you farm, there is a certain amount of money and grain subsidies.
However, Liaozhen has a population of more than a few million, and the young and strong are also more than a million, and those who can go to work full-time to engage in martial arts are either generations of martial artists, or they are particularly outstanding, and it is difficult for Yu Feng to be selected.
Yu Feng is twenty-one years old this year, and the two partners he grew up with are now one of them is a personal guard under Sun Shoulian, and the other is a messenger under Li Rumei.
The man is good at holding a knife, seeing his childhood friend like this, Yu Feng is very envious, and this envy is not a year or two, which also makes him unwilling to work hard, but to ride a horse with a bow and start a living as a hunter.
There are still a large area of undeveloped places in Liao Town, there are many old forests, and there are mountains around Guchengtun, Yu Feng and the old army of Guchengtun are also hard to learn bow and horses, and it is really good to be a hunter, at least let the family live much better than other "farming military households" in the village.
Yu Feng is not satisfied with the current situation, but the guards everywhere in Liao Town are missing one to make up for the other, and the generals are very satisfied with maintaining the current situation, and they don't want to expand the scale, because of the comparison of their childhood companions, now let Yu Feng be a big soldier, but he is unwilling.
Liao Zhen's defeat outside the border wall made Yu Feng feel that the opportunity was even more slim, and Yu Feng, who was extremely disappointed, was ready to try his luck on the grassland, he heard from the defenders of Guchengtun that many merchants on the grassland were recruiting guards, although these guards were begging for a living on the tip of the knife, but they had a good income and lived happily.
Just when he had this plan, Wang Tong's Eastern Expeditionary Army came to Liao Town, and the announcement of recruiting volunteer cavalry was a joke for many people, but Yu Feng's news was better than those whose ancestors were in Liao Town, and he knew a lot of Wang Tong's deeds.
He prepared his own horses, bows and arrows, and sold his two good skins to the hundred households in the village at a cheap price, in exchange for arrows and provisions, this behavior was not only a joke for the people in the village, but also his own Lao Tzu and his brothers scolded him.
However, the joke is that after Feng shot seven bandit scoundrels to death in exchange for fourteen taels of silver, he immediately became a capable person in the village, and immediately many young men were willing to go with him.
After arriving in Liaoyang City, Yu Feng was already accompanied by eight people, all of whom were young people from Liaozhen who had their own weapons and horses and wanted to take risks and make a fortune.
These people all call Yu Feng "Dongjia", and Yu Feng wants these people to call him eldest brother, because Yu Feng knows that Xiaoqi is called this in the army.
Following the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Yu Feng's idea is not just to make some extra money, he also wants to join this team, Wang Tong has established countless meritorious achievements, and Yu Feng wants to participate in it.
His expectations are getting bigger and bigger, among the number of people shot, among the volunteer cavalry who are not professional warriors, Yu Feng's number is the highest, and a cavalry guerrilla of the Eastern Expeditionary Army came to see him, chatted with him a few words, let him perform martial arts on his horse, and shot three arrows.
After reading it, he encouraged him a few words, and also supplemented him with arrows and horse harnesses, and gave him a set of half-body plate armor and helmet, this set of armor made Yu Feng very excited, this armor is not possible in Liaozhen is not the Li family's descendants, all young people who like martial arts are drooling with envy, and it also makes him more determined to work with the Eastern Expedition army to the end.
After Liaoyang City brought enough supplies, everyone was on the road, although Yu Feng wanted to make a contribution, but the others were thinking about hunting more Tartar heads and bringing more silver back, after all, now one is five taels of silver, and a good life for a medium family is ten taels a year.
Most of the volunteer cavalry went to Liaoyang to operate in the area west of the official road in Shenyang, because the military village and Qianhu were relatively dense there, and it was relatively safe, although after the siege of Shenyang, the fortresses near the front line began to be abandoned, and the situation in other places was not good, but there was a certain basis for activities there.
However, for some of the volunteer cavalry who were born in the military generals' personal guards, as well as Yu Feng and others who wanted to take the risk of fighting, but they were active in the area on the east side of the official road, there were only two military villages there, one of which had been abandoned, and the rest of the area was the Jianzhou Jurchen army led by Shuerhaqi, and most of them were already under the control of the Tartars.
Although it is a plain, many places are forests and water and grass depressions, and they are all places where people can be hidden, and if the Jurchens and the ancient spies come over, this is the road they have to choose.
"There's a corpse of a Han dog here, the sixth."
A tall Jurchen man walked under the tree, followed by four Jurchen men in the same costume, all in leather jackets and hats, and under the tree sat a person, to be precise, a corpse, with obvious wounds on his thighs, and his face was pale and black.
The Jurchen man stretched out his hand and pressed the corpse, and said:
"It's not frozen yet, it should be bleeding and dying, and the remaining three should not be too far away."
One came up from behind, stretched out his hand and touched the corpse a few times, got up and kicked the corpse down, spat at the mouth, and said:
"Nothing, his horse doesn't know if it's still there."
"A group of hairy children also want to fight with the old hunter, this is the crow wants to catch Hai Dongqing, there should be three more, one of them was also hit by an arrow, my arrow was smeared with dung, he didn't live long."
Another man said with a big grin, but the first man bent over, looked at the marks on the snow, took a few steps forward, turned his head and said:
"They left people here and swept the horseshoe prints with branches"
When he said this, there was a smile in his voice, and several other people had already opened their bows and arrows and followed with a smile, what is the use of sweeping the marks in the snow, isn't it to let people follow the marks of the snow sweeping, and looking at this look, it is not a horsetail dragging the branches, it is clear that people are sweeping while walking, and people will not go far.
These five Jurchen rangers are all old hunters of the Jianzhou Department, this time they were sent out to operate at the junction of Liaonan and Liaoyang City, and they met with a team of volunteer cavalry, compared to the Jurchen hunters who hunted in the deep mountains and old forests, the volunteer cavalry of Liaozhen was indeed not an opponent, and a team of nine people obviously had an advantage, but at the first moment of engagement, they were shot and killed by the other party relying on the terrain in the forest, and the ambusher was chased and killed by the ambusher.
Looking at the traces, the Jurchen man took a few steps forward, because the branches swept by, so the snow was scattered in a layer, and the rest of the place was dense, there was a clear difference, follow this, and you will soon be able to catch up, and it is ridiculous that the Ming people actually sent such a chick to be a spy to cover up.
Originally, everyone was apprehensive about Ying Ming Khan's rash war with the Ming Dynasty, although he won a big victory, he still had no bottom in his heart, but in today's encounter, several Jurchen rangers felt that they could really go further, even if Liaozhen became their own territory, there were also them.
Every winter, it snows a lot in Liaozhen, and it is common for snow to be knee-high on the ground, and people and horses can't run fast.
The person at the front glanced at the front with an eye out of his eyes, then stared at the traces, and moved forward step by step, that is, as soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt that the snow in front of him was a little loose, and something was blocking it, and he just reacted, but he saw that there was a trace of a rope on the surface of the snow in front of him.
"Hum", something was triggered in the first dozen steps, this thing is buried very shallowly, but it is covered with scattered snow, and there is reflection, if you don't pay attention, it is difficult to see clearly, the Jurchen rangers are actually careless, and they are playing with the mind of hunting roe deer.
The Jurchen who was exploring the way screamed, and fell to the sky, the upper part of the lower abdomen had been penetrated, and the person rolled on the ground in pain, and several people behind him hurriedly caught up.
Turning the man over, the expression of the man on the ground was already distorted in pain, and he hissed:
"This is the bow of the bear's nest, and now my intestines are broken, you guys have killed me, and then go and slaughter those dogs."
The intestines were broken, and there was only one way to die, and several of his companions cursed loudly, but they still pulled out their knives and slit his throat.
The sudden death, so that this group of people did not react for a while, suddenly heard a movement in front, several people are looking up, a person is more than 20 steps away from them, Fang should be hiding behind the tree, this person has a bow in his hand is already full, there are only two good archers in this group of Han people, one of them has died, but no matter how bad the archery is, it is difficult to shoot accurately at this distance, and there is no time to react.
The Han man who shot the arrow on the opposite side let out a heart-rending scream as if he was about to be shot to death, but his arm did not shake, and the arrow still sank into the chest of a Jurchen, and then he was also killed by the next two arrows.
Chasing and killing all the way, like a game of cat and mouse, suddenly two people died on his side, and the Jurchen rangers fell into a state of rage.
At this moment, from their right side, another sharp roar of arrows breaking through the air sounded, and a Jurchen subconsciously turned his head, and an arrow was driven into his neck, and another one died.
