Chapter 396: A Headache Captive
At the foot of the mountain, the captives had already begun to eat, and they who usually drank gruel to fill their stomachs suddenly saw the broth and were very excited, and if it weren't for the forbidden speech, they might have already sung and danced.
"Sir" Lu Wang was eating his big bone noodles, Zhu Yujian walked in, his face a little stiff, "None of those female soldiers are willing to stay, and all of them choose to return to their hometowns and serve the people!" What an exaggeration! ”
Hmph, Lu Wang snorted coldly, "You are wrong, most of them are unwilling to return to their hometowns as people, eight out of ten here have been plundered, their families have long been ruined, where to return to their hometowns, their relatives will not recognize them when they go back!" ”
"Well, then why did they choose to go, oh, to get that money!" Zhu Yujian is a little awake!
"You're still wrong! Although it is a difficult choice to return home, presumably when female soldiers fight like men, they still want to go back and be women, even if they will live harder! Lu Wan sighed, "It's too hasty for them to choose this matter now, let's talk about it later!" ”
"How are you waiting, we will send troops back to the mountain pass in the afternoon to block the thieves, sir, you don't plan to take this group of girls away, this is tens of thousands of people, and when the time comes, we will be trapped in this mountain!"
"Naturally, I won't take them away, so let them stay here!" Lu Wang smiled faintly, not only Zhu Yujian was shocked, but Xu Wenjue and several people behind him also had a different face!
"Was it a surprise?" Lu Wang looked at everyone, "We still have to fight a sniper war, naturally we can't take prisoners, as Lao Zhu said, if they make trouble, we will be miserable, so it is better to keep them here!" ”
"Isn't that a fight for nothing?" Xu Wenjue asked, yes, everyone coaxed with Zhen
"How can they fight in vain, let them stay here and collect their weapons. War horses, only a little food left, wait until Li Zicheng is dealt with and then come to settle them! First, they were defenseless and could not rebel again, and their hearts had already been broken after the killing just now, and secondly, the deep mountains and old forests were covered with deep snow, and there was no place to escape, so they could only honestly wait for us to come back, and third, they thought that Li Zicheng was dead, and the people's hearts had been scattered, and it was impossible for them to rebel again. At least not for the time being! When Lu Wang said this, everyone nodded, feeling that there was some truth!
"Big brother, do you think those bandits on the mountain will come back after we leave? At that time, they may organize these people again, or they may loot the temple or even kill that Li Cuiwei and then escape into the mountains and fall into the grass! Xu Wenjue suddenly said Lu Wang nodded, "It's possible!" So leave a detachment here to garrison! ”
"Whoever stays, I won't stay, I will follow my eldest brother to kill the thief", Xu Wenjue shouted. Zhu Yujian next to him also followed, "I don't want to stay either, I always feel like being the king of the mountain here!" ”
And, Rwann gave him a blank look. "I don't agree if you two want to stay, because you're incompetent", he said and glanced at Zuo Mengeng, "You stay!" ”
"Subordinates obey the order" Zuo Mengeng has no objection. He knew it was useless to disagree.
"Those defeated troops are at least more than a thousand people, and their strength should not be underestimated, I can leave you with a thousand men and horses. Have you pushed me against them? ”
"Yes!" Zuo Mengeng didn't want to answer immediately!
"What's the best idea?" Lu Wang smiled faintly,
"It's simple, just defend the temple! The defeated army has no food and clothing, why am I afraid of him! Zuo Mengeng looked confident, and Lu Wang nodded, "There is a kind!" Wai Rui Good! I hope you'll get rid of these thieves when I get back!" ”
"Uncle, don't you want to take prisoners?" Zuo Mengeng hurriedly asked! Lu Wan nodded lightly, "The diehards have killed a hundred!" ”
"Hehe, I'm afraid that a large number of captives will come in a short time, Zuo Mengeng, hurry up and prepare to meet it", Xu Wuhou said with a hippie smile, his words are right, this weather, cold to the bones, those rout army and no food, no clothing, will not last long at all, they will definitely come back and surrender, as for whether it is true or false, it is still important, anyway, they are all dead!
Time is money, now is the time to race against time, Zuo Mengeng dropped out of his original 1,000 men and horses of his left battalion, lined up and waited for Lu Wang's lecture, Lu Wang never liked to talk nonsense, but used practical actions to prove that there is nothing more convincing than silver at this time! Five taels of silver per person were directly sent to the soldiers of the left battalion, and they yelled happily at Uncle Chitose, as if the fatigue of the night was immediately thrown out of the clouds!
After the lecture, Lu Wang began to chat with those female soldiers, it is useless for women to tell big truths or anything, they must be careful, what future, family, future, Lu Wang painted them one after another fragrant flatbread and even made many people shed tears for a time, and they wailed and cried when they were excited!
The captives of the female soldiers followed Zuo Menggeng's men to the mountain immediately, and some of them would live in the temple, and some of them would live in the original barracks next to the temple and wait for Lu Wang's arrangements to turn back!
"If you show some results, I will consider letting your father return to his hometown safely, if you have bad intentions, then you will soon say goodbye to your father!" Before Zuo Mengeng left, Lu Wang said this to him, which made him excited, although he didn't understand the meaning of the second half of the sentence, he circled the sentence in his head to return to his hometown safely, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart while being happy, it turned out that this little uncle had already had the intention of killing his father!
How to deal with these more than 10,000 female soldiers in the future Lu Wang really said that his head is very big, but now he doesn't have much time to think about it, because there are more than 5,000 male soldiers in front of him, and Lu Wang is not so polite to these men, let alone beat around the bush, and those who are willing to stay here and wait for the arrangement to return to their hometowns will stay here and wait, but they are not allowed to go to the mountain, and those who are willing to follow the Ming army to kill back the horse pistol and sweep the remnants of the mountain pass will have a basic salary of five taels of silver per person, and ten taels of silver will be rewarded for killing one person! Of course, he can't help but say that he will Li Zicheng, because Li Zicheng has already become meat sauce in the hearts of these captives.
This is definitely a high salary, five taels of silver is a huge amount of money for them, not to mention that there are ten taels of silver for killing a person, and maybe they can be a small landlord after returning to their hometown in the future, thinking about it is still very exciting, so many people are tempted!
Of course, there are still some people who are already tired of fighting and killing, and they think that their wives have stayed peacefully, and there are more than 3,000 people! For these people, Rwann confiscated their weapons and even winter clothes, so that they would only be allowed to move around the camp and leave a small amount of food for only two days!
As for the 2,000 captives who were willing to lick their blood with their knives and earn money for their lives, Rwann gave great trust and distributed weapons, clothing, etc., but the others were a little worried! In particular, Zhu Yujian kept whispering beside Lu Wang: "Sir, I always feel unreliable, these people just surrendered and immediately went to fight the thieves, okay, we have few people here, in case we can't suppress the rebellion!" ”
"You are too worried", Lu Wang smiled slightly: "First of all, they are just cannon fodder, and secondly, they stand for money, which means that for them, there is no difference between killing officers and soldiers and killing thieves, since there is no difference, of course, who gives the conditions with whom, what do you say is good for them to rebel, unless we lose, they may rebel!" The problem is that I'm sure we're going to win! ”
But after all, there were nearly 20,000 prisoners left here at once, and it was impossible to say that they were not worried at all, although all their winter clothes and weapons were confiscated, and they were forbidden to leave the camp, leaving only a little food and other measures, which minimized the possibility of riots, but Lu Wang's heart was still beating the drum, and after thinking about it again, he left fifty pro-guards here to assist Zuo Mengeng, and then set off.
When the team sent out, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and what they had to do now was to go back the same way and secretly set up an ambush in the col behind the camp of the thief army's mountain pass! Make a break for tomorrow's Armageddon! However, this way back is more difficult than when it came, although the snow has stopped, the cold wind is still the same, the temperature is lower, the trouble is that the snow is deeper, if you only rely on walking, it is estimated that you will be tired of walking a kilometer in an hour, but don't worry about it now, nearly a thousand war horses captured from the thief army camp came in handy, after the cavalry, the infantry said that there was no pressure to walk!
Even Rwann couldn't stand the cold wind, he decided to drive because of his rich willfulness, but this depth of snow to drive is tantamount to nonsense, but in him this is no problem, I have horses, five horses pulling an off-road vehicle means that there is no pressure at all, and Louvain in the car even happily played music, and then, and then fell asleep.
Xu Wenjue did not choose to take the car, because he felt that he needed to be trained, insisted on riding a horse and soldiers braved the cold wind to step on the snow, as for Xu Wuhou, who was on his feet, he naturally would not give up taking the car, and slept very well like Lu Wang, and the middle-aged uncle Zhu Yujian resolutely chose to take the car with the mentality of being blessed and not enjoying the bastard, and now he is really looking at the mountain scenery outside through the car window!
And he didn't know that he had become a sight in the eyes of others, and the two thousand captives were almost staring at the car all the way, and the sound of music coming from inside from time to time filled them with great curiosity, but they didn't dare to ask out loud!
"Can you contact the brother of the mountain now?" Xu Wenjue rode a horse and wrapped himself tightly, chatting with Liang Ping beside him!
"Not for the time being, the signal doesn't work!" Liang Ping shook his head,
"It's not going to freeze to death, is it?" Xu Wenjue said jokingly, Liang Ping smiled, "My subordinates are not stupid, they do a good job of keeping warm, and the uncle also gave a small tent, which can't freeze to death, let's walk a few miles and take a look!" ”
