Chapter 36: The Great Victory

The boulder cart was three feet tall and occupied almost the entire road, with a dozen wrestlers and horses dragging ropes in front of them. The reason why the team attacking Xiong'an Village was moving very slowly was because the boulder cart was holding back. The troops guarding in front of the boulder cart saw that the Chinese army was killed and could not form an army, and they simply formed a defensive formation.

Almost the same, in front of Qin Ming and the others wearing black iron armor, those attacks were no damage, and with a burst of crossbow fire, the defense of the rear army was crushed. Ma Yun took the opportunity to rush over with the other soldiers, because the boulder cart occupied almost the entire road, the enemy army was divided into pieces, the enemy army in front was eliminated, and the enemy army behind reacted.

"Brothers, rush! It's almost the end, and victory is ahead. Ma Yun took the lead, and the long sword in his hand swam among the enemy like a poisonous snake, each sword taking the life of an enemy soldier.

In this way, in a narrow forest road, Ma Yun led dozens of soldiers to kill from the rebel front army to the rear army without the slightest stop. Finally, at the last boulder car, except for the defeated soldiers in front of them who fled frantically like lost dogs, there was no enemy soldier standing around Ma Yun and them. Countless enemy corpses lay on the ground, each with horror on their faces. The green clothes on Ma Yun's body were stained red with blood, and even his face was covered with blood.

It's not that Ma Yun is fond of killing, it's that he knows the truth of "mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not financed". War does not matter whether it is right or wrong, those enemy soldiers may have many innocent people, but this is the cruelty of war, there is no right or wrong on the battlefield, only victory and defeat, only life and death. When it comes to critical moments, we must not miss a major event because of the kindness of a woman. If you let go of the enemy in front of you because of soft-heartedness, the enemy is likely to turn around and kill your companions, and you must not hesitate to relent.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion during the Three Kingdoms period, most of them were poor people, such as Liu Bei and Tao Qian, who were quite famous, all of them relied on suppressing the peasant uprising to obtain meritorious services, not to mention a generation of heroes Cao Cao.

Ma Yun clearly remembers a movie he watched "The Decisive Battle of Songhu and Hangzhou": when the PLA troops defeated the national army in a fierce battle, and then pursued the national army in the swamp, the PLA soldiers at this time were extremely tired, and even ran to death and died of exhaustion, and many soldiers hoped to take a break. At this time, General Sun Wu and Liu Bocheng said such a sentence: If Ci is not in charge of the army, if the national army is allowed to escape, the fighter will be delayed, and the future will be endless.

"It's really enjoyable!" Qin Ming, who was wearing black iron armor, couldn't help but shout, the blood on the iron armor was still flowing.

"Yes, Lao Tong, I have been on the battlefield for many years, and I have never been so happy as I am today!"

Ma Yun looked at everything in front of him, but the joy of the great victory was replaced by an inexplicable sentimentality, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "What is the way, what is righteousness, what is right, what is wrong." "But on second thought,

"There is a way for all things in heaven and earth, there is a way for all kinds of changes, there is a way for life, there is a way for death, there is a way for the morning, there is a way for the evening, there is a way for the right, there is a way for evil, there is a way for the state, there is a way for the people, there is a way for the army, there is a way for soldiers, there is a way for farming, there is a way for grain, there is a way for cooking, there is a way for food, there is a way for heaven, and the cycle of life and death is a way. Thinking of this, the confusion in Ma Yun's heart was swept away, and the originally sad eyes became resolute again, and his mood changed subtly.

Ma Yun's enlightenment is completely different from ruthlessness and murder, the former is the improvement of mood perception, and the latter is a distorted mentality.

"Two big brothers, send some people to the front to guard, the rest of the people clean up the battlefield, and the qi... Kill!" Ma Yun hesitated, but still said the words to kill.

"Fortunately, only a thousand people came, if there were more, the black iron arrows would not be enough. All ten of my arrows were shot. Tong Guanshan said with emotion. "By the way, Brother Tong, when cleaning the battlefield, take back the black iron arrow, that arrow is not easy to make, I will use up most of it in this battle, try to recover some of it." Tong Guanshan's words inspired Ma Yun, the black iron arrow is not easy to forge, if it is thrown away like this, it is a pity.

"Old boy, how many thieves did you say we killed this time?" Qin Ming asked.

"We slashed all the way, and many enemy soldiers died before they could react, and I estimate that there were 500 enemies. ”

"Five hundred, eighty against five hundred, and five hundred escaped, old boy, you have never heard of such a record!"

"In this big victory, we occupy a favorable position, especially the power of weapons, without the black iron arrows and armor, we will have many casualties at the beginning. By the way, Brother Tong, I noticed that several brothers were injured, how are the injuries?" Ma Yun suddenly remembered that someone on his side was also injured.

"Several brothers were wounded in the battle with the thieves who fled into the forest, eight of them were slightly injured and were treated for a few days, and two brothers were seriously injured and were carried back to the village for medical treatment. Thankfully, none of the brothers died. ”

"Well, there's a bottle of Muscle Pill in the treasure house, and I'll go back and give it to the two seriously injured brothers. Jack Ma sighed.

"Thank you to the owner of the village, don't hesitate to heal the medicine. Tong Guanshan bowed in admiration.

"Brother Tong is polite, if you go into battle to kill the enemy together, you are all brothers, medicine and money are all things outside the body, how can your own brother's life be important. Ma Yun smiled faintly. The little brother's open-mindedness made Tong admire. ”

"Brother Tong, don't be polite, what should we do with these corpses of enemy soldiers?"

"Usually it's either burned or buried, but I think it's better to be buried here. ”

"That's what I mean. Then find a place to bury it. Inform Gao Tang and ask him to send fifty people down to the village, with digging tools, and be sure to dig a pit big enough tonight, and bury these people tomorrow. Let Gao Tang come too, the eight boulder cars, let him see how to disassemble them, disassemble them into parts, transport them to the mountains and reassemble them. Then the three of them discussed some details of the aftermath, and then returned to the cottage with the excited and tired people.

In the cottage, Gao Tang had already received the report of the big victory and had arranged a celebration banquet. Since the last time there was a fatal scholar disguised as a refugee and infiltrated the cottage, the management of the cottage has improved a lot. First of all, some key places, such as kitchens, wine cellars, granaries, and even water sources, such places that are prone to large-scale poisoning, are strictly guarded, and idle people are not allowed to approach; as for the refugees who come to visit, explain the situation clearly in advance, and if they are willing to stay, they will be arranged elsewhere alone, and those key places are not allowed to approach.

A feast lasted until midnight, and even Qin Ming, who had an amazing amount of alcohol, was drunk, but Tong Guanshan, who only drank a few glasses of wine, went out to inspect and set up defenses, which made Ma Yun have a little more understanding of Tong Guanshan's stability in his heart.

Ma Yun also drank a lot of wine, almost no one refused, the strange thing is that since the mysterious energy of "Rejuvenation Jue" appeared, he has also drunk an incredible amount of alcohol, and he has drunk a lot of wine, and his mind is still very clear. After examining his body, he found that the wine energy disappeared when he encountered the mysterious energy, and I don't know if it was absorbed or dispelled.

"I rub, I won't get drunk in a thousand cups in the future, there are thousands of cups not drunk Hu Tiehua in the past, and now there are 10,000 cups that don't pour the god Ma Yun!" I have to say that drinking is definitely a good way to enhance feelings, but in the past, because the amount of alcohol was not good, I was drunk when I drank it, and I was uncomfortable when I drank it, and almost all the wine table meals were pushed away.

Early the next morning, Ma Yun went to the battlefield where he fought yesterday, the battlefield had been cleaned up, and the corpses had been removed, except for the mottled blood stains on the ground, he was still telling the cruelty of war. It won't be long before the blood melts into the soil and disappears. After a night of hard work by fifty people, the pit where the bodies were buried had been dug.

Ma Yun stood on the edge of the pit, looking at the corpses piled up around him, couldn't help sighing, and gave a strange order: "Hang the corpse into the pit with a rope, put it in the right place and bury it well, you were an enemy in life, and you will have no revenge after death." ”

Five days later, in the study of the Qianwei City Lord's Mansion, King Lu in a yellow robe sat on a chair, the green-clothed ghost stood aside cautiously, bowed his head and said nothing, and there was a fat man kneeling on the ground, trembling constantly, it was the fat envoy who participated in the extermination of Xiong'an Village a few days ago.

It is said that this person saw that the situation was not good, and he wanted to ride a horse, but he was overwhelmed by the soldiers in front of him, and he had no way out, this person could serve under the account of King Lu, and he also had a certain ability, especially the active mind, seeing this situation, he decisively dismounted and walked, and fled into the forest. Ma Yun and they rushed to kill on the road, and they couldn't take care of the person who fled to the forest, so he shuttled through the forest for several miles, and then fled back.

"King Qiqi Lu, this is what happened in the battle of Heifeng Village that day. In his heart, Xiong'an Village is still the Black Wind Village.

"So, you were defeated from the front by a small group of thieves?" King Lu's words did not carry the slightest emotion.

"Yes, but those thieves rely on their weapons, my lord! their crossbows can easily pierce the shields, and our bows and arrows have not even been traced to their armor. The villain only saw how powerful the black iron weapon that the prince valued this time was, if the prince had such an army, why would it be difficult to dominate Kyushu?"

I saw that King Lu, who was originally expressionless, laughed: "In this way, the black iron weapon is very powerful, this king just wanted to create some big knives at first, but now it seems that not only big knives, but also arrows and armor will be made, so it will speed up." What do you think?"

The man in Tsing Yi, who had not spoken, bowed down and said: "This matter needs to be divided into three steps: first, take the Black Wind Village and let the prince send troops to manage it, so as to speed up the mining of black iron ore; second, first transport the five hundred black iron knives that were forged before and see the specific power on the battlefield." Third, make some black iron arrows and armor. Among them, it is better to win the Black Wind Village and outwit it. If it is attacked, it will be difficult to do it without thousands of troops. ”

King Lu hurriedly asked, "How to outwit?"

"How to kill the scholar to mix into the village, we can also use the same method, the enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, but this time we secretly poisoned those powerful thieves to death, so as to prevent future troubles, and the rest will be left to mine!"

"Lord Onice, pay attention!" the fat envoy on the ground hurriedly complimented loudly.

"You go and arrange it!" King Lu thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
