Chapter 137: Killing the Wu family
When Jia Cong led the people back to the battlefield, the battle had already ended here.
Wangcai is leading people to clean up the battlefield, and it is nearing the end.
When Zhang Dakui saw Jia Cong coming back, he came up and asked, "Third Master, have you caught up with those who ran away?" โ
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Except for the six of them who surrendered, the others were all shot, what are the casualties here?" โ
Zhang Dakui said happily: "This time I caught the opponent off guard, and the special combat team made a timely move to block the opponent, so that they did not organize an effective counterattack, and it was almost a one-sided fight."
We also have stainless steel armor to protect ourselves, the other party slashes on the body, and the armor can't be broken, no one died in this battle, not even seriously injured, only more than 20 lightly injured, Miss Han has already taken someone to see it, and there is nothing wrong. โ
Jia Cong was still very satisfied with this result, after all, he was wearing fine steel armor, and his weapons were all high-quality and above-grade weapons.
And they also took advantage of the surprise attack, and the other party was disturbed by the special combat team again, and was in a panic.
The only thing that's a bit of a pity is that I didn't really experience the shock of the cavalry hedge.
Tie Zhu and Wangcai walked over together and saluted Jia Cong.
Wangcai said: "Third master, the battlefield has been cleaned, this time a total of more than 90 people were killed, more than 70 prisoners surrendered, and more than 10 wounded, the lightly injured ones were left, and the seriously injured ones were directly repaired."
The biggest gain this time was the war horses, a total of more than 160 war horses, more than a dozen were killed in the melee. โ
Jia Cong said with a smile: "This can be regarded as a good start, I didn't expect that when we first came to Liaodong, the Wu brothers gave us a big gift." Iron pillar, there are no casualties among the special operators, right? โ
Tie Zhu arched his hand and said: "Back to the third master, there are no casualties among the special combat soldiers, we are just harassing with crossbow arrows from a distance to prevent the horse bandits from approaching the war horse."
There is also the fact that those two grenades are a very great deterrent, this thing is definitely a sharp weapon on the battlefield, if there are enough grenades, no one will be our opponent on the battlefield. โ
Jia Cong said solemnly: "You have also seen the power of the grenade, if we encounter it one day, what will be the result?" โ
Tie Zhu said: "This? If we do, we will be very miserable, and we may even die. โ
Jia Cong said: "That's right, in order to avoid this situation, the grenade must be kept absolutely confidential, and the special combat team members should be kept strictly confidential, and the leaker will be killed!"
In the next battle, the grenade will be used as our killer weapon, life-saving hole card, and will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary, and it is not allowed to be used in front of outsiders, so as not to be leaked out.
Once it leaks out, someone will force us to hand it over, what kind of virtue are the officials of Da Chu, I think you all know well, once it is in their hands, whether it is an opponent or an enemy, it is possible to get it. โ
Tie Zhu said: "Yes, third master, I will definitely order your words and let them keep them secret." โ
Zhang Dakui said: "It's a pity that such a good thing doesn't have to be, but what the third master said is also very reasonable, once it is made public, it will not benefit us at all." โ
Jia Cong said with a smile: "I just said that we don't use it in joint operations with others, and I didn't say that we don't use it when we fight alone, but when it really comes to a critical moment, when our lives are endangered, even if it is a joint operation, we still have to use it."
If this kind of thing really happens, then all the grenades on the body will be used up, and no one will be left, and others will not be able to see it if they want to. โ
This hand is only intended to be used by the special combat team, for ambushes, sneak attacks, reinforcements and other operations, and the number will also be controlled, and the rest will be taken back after the operation is over to prevent it from flowing out.
The grenade is a thing that is suddenly used to catch the enemy off guard, and the effect is best at this time.
Once the opponent knows and has defense, it will not be very useful.
The attack distance of the grenade is not as long as the range of the bow and arrow, and with the suppression of the bow and arrow, it cannot be thrown into the opponent's crowd at all.
The melee between the two armies cannot be used, and it is easy to injure one's own people by mistake.
Give it to the special combat team to use, the effect is better.
After the triggering device was passed, Jia Cong had already communicated the idea of the grenadier and the general style with Master Liao.
Let them focus on the development of grenadiers, and with grenadiers, it is equivalent to carrying a small steel cannon with them.
This thing is too light, a grenadier canister weighs only a few pounds, and each person carries one without delaying the march.
And it's easy to operate and powerful.
In this era, the grenadier was a real weapon, with a range of about 500 meters.
If you bring dozens of grenadiers, what Mongol cavalry? What woman is really invincible? A few rounds of grenades were all over.
With the current technical conditions of Linhe Villa, there is no problem in making guns and cannons, but bullet shells really can't be made.
But to make a grenadier, to make a grenade, there is no problem at all.
Once the grenadier is introduced, no one will be their opponent on the battlefield.
Zhang Dakui said: "Third master, we have harvested so many war horses this time, our hundred guards can all form a cavalry team, and these people have not practiced riding skills in the villa, and they are fully qualified to be cavalry." โ
For this suggestion, Jia Cong has no opinion, the advantage of cavalry on the battlefield is too great, and it is more beneficial for him to have more cavalry around.
"Okay, Master Zhang is in charge of this matter, give priority to selecting good horses to expand the cavalry team, or you will be responsible for commanding and training."
Zhang Dakui said: "Don't worry, the third master, his subordinates will definitely train them to be elite soldiers who dare to fight and protect the safety of the third master." โ
Jia Cong glanced at a few people and said: "This time the victory has been achieved, the special combat team should be the first meritorious, and each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, in addition, those who kill one person in the battle will get ten taels of silver, and those who kill two people will get twenty taels of silver, and so on."
After you count this matter, hand it over to Wangcai, and Wangcai will be responsible for distributing it uniformly, so that the soldiers know that as long as they dare to fight and kill, they will be rewarded, and I will not treat them badly. โ
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and they arched their hands together: "Thank you Third Master, your subordinates obey the order." โ
Jia Cong continued: "There is another thing, the leader of this gang of horse bandits is called Wang Shun, who has been captured by me, and I know from his mouth that these horse bandits are not all of them, and there are more than a hundred people left in their lair.
We have captured these horse bandits, we can't kill them all, I plan to take them in, it just so happens that we also lack cavalry, these horse bandits are all proficient in horsemanship, and their riding skills alone are better than our people.
Recruit them, and then go to their lair, and also incorporate the remaining more than 100 horse bandits, with these 300 cavalry, we have the capital to crisscross the steppe, what do you think? โ
Wangcai said worriedly: "Third master, can these horse bandits be trusted?" What if they rebel again? โ
Tie Zhu also said: "Third master, I also think that these people are not credible, and there are few good people who are horse bandits." โ
Zhang Dakui said: "I think the third master's idea is good, these people may not be good people, but does that matter?" What we need is their combat power, just let them fight for us, and if they are really disobedient, they will be consumed. โ
Jia Cong said: "It's impossible to make them how loyal they are, they just joined us to save their lives, and we should be able to make some people really stay."
Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed and will not be left behind. โ
Seeing Jia Cong say this, several people no longer objected.
After the news of the reward was spread, the camp burst into thunderous cheers.
"Lao Zhang, how many people did you kill this time?"
"If you don't have good luck, you killed one, and you all surrendered fuckingly, Xiao Li, how many did you kill?"
"Hehe, I was lucky, rushed to the front and killed two."
"You two are good, I'll be a little slower, and then I rush up, and there is no one standing."
"Me too, I haven't grabbed any of them, and I must be at the forefront next time."
The faces of those who had killed people bloomed with smiles, and the silver for white flowers was about to arrive.
Those who didn't grab the heads, one by one, sighed, regretted, and secretly swore that the next time there was a battle, they must rush to the forefront, kill a few more enemies, and earn more silver.
The captives who surrendered, hearing the comments of these people, could not help but be secretly surprised.
If you kill a person, you will be given ten taels of silver, which is too good, much better than robbery, but the heads of your own people have become other people's silver, and you don't know what to do with yourself and others.
"A handful of hair, what do you think they will do with us? Will they kill us? โ
"Probably not, right? If you want to kill it, you won't kill it sooner, but you don't know where it's going to get us? โ
"These people are treated so well, it would be nice to be able to join them."
"It's hard to say, we don't have freedom now, we can only resign ourselves to fate."
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
The team returned to the village of Montenegro.
There are nearly 200 more horses and nearly 100 people, and the team is even more immense.
Wu Jinxiao looked at this huge team, and his heart felt cold.
His little master turned out to be fine, but there were many more tied horse bandits, this is the horse bandits defeated and captured alive?
I searched in the crowd for a long time, but I didn't find my cousin.
I suddenly felt bad in my heart, could it be that the matter was revealed and I was killed by my little master?
When I looked up, I saw the little master riding on a horse and with bright armor, looking at him with cold eyes, and my heart was suddenly cold, and the last trace of luck was gone.
"Poof" knelt in front of the horse.
"The third master spares his life, the little one was only temporary, and he was bewitched by his cousin, this matter was planned by his cousin, and I only knew his plan when he came to me last night.
He didn't want to hand over the wealth in his hands, so he found a horse bandit to deal with you, at this time, even if I objected, he wouldn't listen to me, and asked the third master to look at the friendship of several generations, spare the little one this time. โ
Jia Cong said coldly: "Wu Zhuangtou, I have already given your brothers a chance, but you don't want it, you are greedy for money, mad, and devouring the master with slavery, which is a great crime."
If I don't kill you, how can I do it to my loyal subordinates?
Someone came, arrested all Wu Jinxiao's family, escorted them to the square, and waited for the verdict.
Tie Zhu, you take people to the Zhuangzi of the Rong Mansion next door, arrest all the Wu Jinxian family, and escort them to this square, if they resist, they will be killed. โ
"Yes, Third Master, subordinate order."
Tie Zhu promised to take someone to Zhuangzi next door and arrest Wu Jinxian's family.
Zhang Hu stepped forward to take down Wu Jinxiao, and then asked Wangcai to bring people and arrest Wu Jinxiao's family.
Half an hour later, the square was filled with people.
Pointing to Wu Jinxiao, who was kneeling in the center of the square, and Wu Jinxian's two families, there were many discussions.
"What's going on? Why is Master Wu kneeling there? โ
"What old man Wu? That's Wuzhuangtou, the real master, it's the little master above, and the land we farm is all owned by other people. โ
"In recent days, many people have been inquiring about the harvest in Zhuangzi, and it is estimated that Wu Zhuangtou deceived the little master."
"Yes, you asked me too, and asked me if there was a big hail last year."
"Where have we ever had such a big hailstorm here, not to mention that it wasn't last year, and it wasn't before."
"I understand, it may be that Wu Zhuangtou lied to the little master, saying that the harvest was not good, and the big hailstones fell from the bowl, and the crops were smashed, so the little master came to check on him."
Looking at the chaotic crowd below, Jia Cong shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, please be quiet, I have something to say." โ
The people below heard the shouting, slowly quieted down, and looked at Jia Cong on the high platform.
Jia Cong glanced at the crowd below and said, "Everyone, I am your owner, the land you cultivate is mine, and the two brothers of the Wu family are the heads of our Ningrong Second Mansion, helping us manage this village."
These two people are greedy and despicable, and they embezzle tenants every year under various pretexts, either raining all year round, or there is a great drought, or a bowl of hail.
The rent paid to us every year is less than 30% of the tenant rent, but they themselves are greedy for more than 70%. This time, I came to Liaodong with the caravan, and I found out the truth by checking it by the way.
Not only did these two people not know how to repent, but they were afraid that I would recover the money they had embezzled, and they would buy off the horse bandits, trick me into leaving Zhuangzi, and intercept me on the way, intending to kill people and kill me. โ
"Boom"
After listening to Jia Cong's words, the crowd below suddenly boiled.
"This old aconite usually looks honest, but he can't imagine that his heart is so black, and he is directly greedy for seventy percent of the Mo master's family."
"Haven't you heard, they also colluded with horse bandits and wanted to harm their masters, it's really mad."
"Yes, such a devourer should really be killed."
"Damn it"
"Damn it"
"Damn ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Looking at the angry crowd below, Jia Cong smiled slightly in his heart, this is what he wants.
Let all know their crimes and know that they deserve it.
Jia Cong shouted: "Kill!" โ
More than a dozen guards stepped forward, raised the steel knives in their hands, and slashed down fiercely.
