Chapter 212: Who Rares You
What are the cavalry most afraid of, what they are most afraid of is losing speed and falling into the encirclement of the infantry, Dong Qi's soldiers are more and more, and Guo Yaoshi's side is one less dead. The Marines quickly gathered around, their formation seemingly loose, but they maintained a shock formation, suppressing the enemy's counterattack with platoon guns, blocking the enemy's attack route with machine guns, and slowly compressing them behind a sloping area.
"Hero, be merciful, all this silver is yours!" Guo Yaoshi was beaten so much that he couldn't raise his head, and looked at the one hundred and ten cronies he had brought out from Yanjing around him, and looked at him with a panicked expression, he understood that these brothers had been coaxed.
Guo Yaoshi pondered the way these people came from, thinking that if it was the Song army, they would not wait until this time to use such a powerful army, he had stayed in the Jin army and the Liao army, and he had never heard of such a group of people, thinking about it, it could only be the 'righteous army', they must be here to make money, and now seeing that people and money are empty, he still feels that life is important.
"Good..."
"Commander, what is surrounded by us is the commander of the Changsheng army who rebelled against the Song Dynasty, Guo Yaoshi!" As soon as Dong Qi's good words came out, he was interrupted by a subordinate, and Guo Yaoshi's 'deeds' can be said to be widely circulated, making trouble known to the world, and becoming Song Liao's public enemy.
"Then what's the matter, don't leave a single one!" Dong Qi was stunned for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, he didn't expect that this kind of unavoidable good thing would fall on his head, and this big traitor for the country would definitely go down in history.
Pharmacist Guo, who was still waiting for a reply, did not wait for the news that he could live, but waited for the invitation of the god of death, and the gunshots that had just been silent suddenly rang out again, no matter what Pharmacist Guo said. All he answered was the merciless sound of gunfire, the bullet of revenge. In less than a quarter of an hour, the remnants of Pharmacist Guo were wiped out behind the dirt slope.
Dong Qi found the beaten body of Pharmacist Guo from the pillow corpse, which was completely unrecognizable by his face alone. It was only through the search for seals, armor, and weapons on his body that he was confirmed, and his body was quickly buried with the other dead, and when the rainy season came, no one would know the burial place of this giant traitor, and when Guo Yaoshi looked left and right, he probably didn't expect that he would be buried on this nameless river beach!
At this moment, no one will sigh for a hero who has almost changed history, after the second battalion annihilated the enemy army of Guo Yaoshi, it quickly relied on two low sand beams on the river beach to build simple fortifications, established two arc-shaped blocking lines, and ordered people to send the captured 300,000 taels of silver ingots back to the ship, and inform the capital of the situation...
At this moment, the battle to clear the remnants of the army in the stockade has also come to an end. He Wei, the leader of the first brigade, personally supervised the battle to find King Su and his horses, and he searched the entire front yard of the stockade and found no trace of the two, and his heart could not help but be heavy, they were likely to be taken away by the fleeing Jin army, or take advantage of the chaos to escape. But no matter what the result, it made him worry that with their strength, they would not be able to snatch two people out of the thousands of Jurchen troops; And if they fled, they could be swept away by the rout or die under heavy artillery fire.
He Wei led a group of people into the backyard with the last glimmer of hope, and when they searched a low grass hut, they found several dead bodies in Hanfu lying outside the door. He Wei looked carefully, and it could be seen from the clothes of the dead body that it was the chamberlain who died. And the only people who could have the right to summon these people were the nobles of Tianhuang, which shows that the hostages were indeed imprisoned in the stockade at that time.
"Don't kill me, I'm willing to surrender..." He Wei had a heartfelt look at him, and did not rashly let the soldiers shoot according to the custom. Instead, they slammed open the door, but before they could move further, there was a cry from inside the house.
"......" Everyone was stunned. He pointed his gun at the door, and saw a little old man crawling out of the house trembling. Fell to the ground and whimpered in pain.
"You are an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and King Su can be in the house?" He Wei has followed the prince for several years. The official has seen a lot, and seeing that the person is wearing a purple robe, how can he also be a third-grade person, and asked in a slow tone.
"Oh, you're not Jurchen?" After hearing this, the little old man raised his head and looked at the people around him, all of them were dressed as Han people, not Jurchens with bare brains, and asked in surprise.
"We are the Hebei Righteous Army, who kill the Jurchens!" He Wei replied that this was also agreed upon by them in advance, so as not to implicate the prince in case of an accident.
"Eh, help the official to get up, I am the Great Song Dynasty Dazai Zhang Bangchang is also!" As soon as the little old man heard that it was not a Jurchen, but a Hebei person, he immediately stopped crying, turned over and sat up, and put up a score.
"Since Lord Zhang is here, how is King Su good?" He Wei ordered someone to take the torch and shake it in front of the little old man's eyes, and sure enough, it was the kid who was caught by the prince who was 'sweeping pornography' and was dead and alive, he was one of the executioners, so he recognized it, stretched out his hand and dragged Zhang Bangchang up and asked.
"King Su and Cao Yuma are both taking refuge in the house, let your leader come and question!" Zhang Bangchang was wearing an official hat on his head, dusting off the dust and grass clippings on his body, and said with a shelf, his face had already been replaced with a standard photo of the official master.
"On the orders of the leader, the villain welcomes King Su and the horse on the boat!" He Wei said loudly at the firewood room, ignoring Zhang Bangchang, who turned his face faster than a book.
"Who is your leader?" After a while, two trembling people came out of the firewood room, and said with pale faces and pretending to be calm.
"It's inconvenient to talk here, the prince will talk about it when he gets on the boat!" He Wei didn't say much, and immediately a few personal soldiers stepped forward to set up the two of them and left.
"Where are the grass people so bold that they dare to forcibly capture the prince of the dynasty and the horses!"
"You know that you have committed a big crime and lost the prince, and the Jurchens will ask the court for sin!"
"You should also take the official with you, don't leave the official here alone!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, take me with you, I will not treat you badly, you can ask for money or officials!"
…
Zhang Bangchang saw that these people only took away the prince and the concubine, but he 'forgot' about himself, and begged to take him away with both soft and hard, but those people still turned a blind eye to themselves, and hugged He Wei's thigh in a hurry and cried again.
"Lord Zhang can't help it, our boss said, everyone who is a traitor will be punished, and if you can't spare your hand today, you can ask for more blessings!" He Wei said, and a heartwarming foot kicked Zhang Bangchang aside.
"I'm the Dazai of the Great Song Dynasty, and I'm also a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, take me with you..." Zhang Bangchang still refused to give up, bowing and begging bitterly.
"It's not annoying, I don't know how to lift, slaughter this old man, so that he won't make a noise!" A sergeant scolded and waved a knife to cut, Zhang Bangchang was so frightened that his soul was gone, and he ran into the firewood room again with his head in his hands...
Besides, the 2nd Brigade, which was responsible for the transfer of the captive Han people, quickly attacked as soon as they waited for the ship and dealt with the guards. But the situation was not as smooth as imagined, some people in the chaos took the opportunity to escape, a group of people in the east and west collided everywhere, and those who ran in the wrong direction and strayed into the ranks of the Jin army were immediately killed, Tao Qian worked hard to gather the people together, and explained that he was the Hebei Righteous Army, and he came to rescue them, and finally barely controlled the situation.
However, when it was learned that the ships were limited, and that some of them could only evacuate by boat, and that most of them had to travel 50 miles overnight to reach the mouth of the river before they could be met by boats, there was a burst of confusion, and as soon as the ships carrying the soldiers docked, people flocked to the shore, not wanting to give up this rare opportunity to escape. Due to the large number of people boarding the boat, several dinghys ran aground in the shallows and were even overturned.
Tao Qian had to send soldiers to maintain order and forcibly pull people off the boat, and time was being wasted minute by minute, he knew that if he continued to consume like this, once the Jin army adjusted, it would attack, and these unarmed people would become the targets of slaughter, not only could they not leave, but their lives could not be saved.
So Tao Qian immediately made a decision, forcibly grouped the people, the old and weak women and children formed a team to wait for the transfer to the ship, the others immediately set off to rush downstream, the four boats on the right side set off immediately after the transfer, to provide cover for the people who moved on foot, after a toss, both sides finally began to move, but the heart-rending cry at the moment of separation made the soldiers of the Marine Corps feel extremely sad, no one knows if the relatives who embarked on the march on the road can meet again...
After the 1st Brigade had completed its task of clearing out the remnants of the enemy, the three battalions immediately rushed to build fortifications and set up a blocking line 300 paces away from the temporary crossing, which was the limit of the fire support that the naval guns could provide. At the same time, the sailors of the ship who completed the ferry mission, except for the necessary combatants, all joined the task of rushing the 10 million taels of silver.
When the imperial court originally sent the indemnity to Jinying, it was 10,000 taels for one letter, and 100,000 taels for one outline, a total of 100 units for a total of 10 million taels of silver. When He Wei counted, he found that the seal on the silver box was still from the Inner Treasury, and even the silver car belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, so he didn't dare to move it and shipped it as it was.
Under the supervision of the officer, the sailors pushed the silver cart to the ferry, and then loaded it into the dinghy, and then hoisted it onto the big ship, which was quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, but everyone was very motivated, so much silver, who had ever seen it, 10 million taels of silver was equivalent to 100 million copper coins, which was equivalent to a year of taxation in the good years of the Great Song Dynasty, and the savings of the prince for so many years were only so much, although the silver was not his own, but he was very happy to be able to pass it!
There are happy and unhappy, and Han is not happy, and when he finds that the enemy who is sneaking up on him has quickly stopped attacking and turned to the defense, he realizes that the enemy is not coming at him, but at the silver. But at that time, he was suddenly attacked, and he was also dizzy and left the battlefield, and he didn't bring out a single tael of silver.
That's almost all the gains of the Eastern Route Army's southern expedition, and everyone is still waiting to use him to fill the gap in the troops! If he fell into the hands of the enemy, wouldn't he lose money and make money, and Zong Han would not have to laugh off his big teeth. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and as soon as the army was completed, he couldn't wait to launch a counterattack against the enemy... (To be continued......)
