Chapter 188: Parting Ways

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the Fan people also retreated like a tide, abandoning fifty or sixty corpses of Fan people.

And the hundreds of soldiers brought by Huang Jin also lost forty or fifty people.

Fortunately, most of the Chinese businessmen on this trip were unharmed, except for a few who were injured.

The Fan archers who were ambushed in the rainforest also evacuated, and it seemed that the number of Fan people who ambushed them was only about one or two hundred.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, he naturally chose to retreat.

"In the realm of Dongpu, where are there so many soldiers?"

Seeing that there were only four or five horses left in the family around him, Huang Jin looked up to the sky and roared.

This is his subordinates who desperately brought to Annam from Liangguang.

It took a lot of silver and two painstaking efforts to raise these more than 30 family members, which can be said to be the foundation of his reliance in Meidi.

This trip brought half of the way, and as a result, ten people were lost on the way.

The baggage convoy and the soldiers of the Chinese merchants guarding the rear suffered heavy casualties.

Many soldiers robbed the silver taels, but they were directly nailed to the ground by Fanren's arrows.

Huang Jin didn't care about the number of casualties among these soldiers brought from Meidi, and when he was clean, he continued to recruit from the local Han people.

As long as there is money and food, where can you not recruit soldiers?

But what really surprised Huang Jin was that his soldiers guarding the rear had already been killed and wounded in the arrow cluster of Fanren.

The more than 30 Ming officers and soldiers guarding the rear actually repelled the attack of 50 or 60 Fanmen.

And the people also abandoned twenty or thirty corpses.

Look at those Ming guards again, except for a few people who were injured by Fanren's arrows, they were basically unscathed.

On his side, the family alone lost ten people.

"This firearm is violent." Huang Jin couldn't help but be impressed by this.

Before, he thought that Mingren's firearms were just burning sticks, but who would have thought that it was such a sharp weapon.

"Lord Huang, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, hurry up and pack up your things, count the wounded and leave as soon as possible." Lin Xu rushed over and glanced at the corpses and wailing wounded soldiers all over the ground.

After this battle, more than 40 soldiers were lost and more than 20 wounded.

For this reason, the Ming officers and soldiers deliberately cleared out four or five carriages.

And the goods on the car were naturally carried by the Chinese businessmen themselves.

Since the mules and donkeys had escaped for the most part, the Akito had to push the cart himself.

In this way, the speed of travel has naturally decreased a lot.

But fortunately, there was no more attack by Fanren along the way.

After walking for about an hour, the group finally arrived at the next village.

Surprisingly, however, all the people in the village had been emptied.

The huge village was empty, and even the chickens, ducks and other livestock within the fence were nowhere to be seen.

Presumably it was learned of the arrival of the Fan people and migrated early.

The only good news was that the village had not been destroyed, which gave the group a good place to stay.

After arriving at the village, everyone rested on the spot.

The soldiers carried the seriously wounded soldiers off the wagon.

In the bump of more than an hour, four or five seriously wounded soldiers breathed.

And the remaining seven or eight people are also unconscious, and they must not be able to survive.

Ming Shang took some herbs from the carriage and gave them to some of the wounded soldiers.

"Water, water......" A wounded soldier was carried off the carriage by several soldiers, and the sharp pain of the wound tearing made him wake up, and his mouth kept muttering.

The soldier on the side hurriedly walked over and handed him a bowl of water.

After he drank a few sips desperately, he seemed to be choked, coughed constantly, and finally coughed up a few mouthfuls of old blood and passed out.

"I didn't expect Zhenla's Shengfan to act so quickly, and the Ming people of Dongpu are not in a good situation." Ding Ge silently looked at the wailing wounded soldiers in front of him.

"The merchants of Minghai still want to move on." Lin Xu looked at Hua Shangdao, who was sitting on the ground resting.

Under the desperate protection of the Ming army, the more than 20 Chinese businessmen on this trip were fine.

Ding Ge smiled bitterly and said, "Many of these merchants have been imprisoned by the Spaniards, and it was the Ming Court who exchanged them from Manila, if they were frightened by a few things, then they would not have come here." ”

"But those American soldiers are not easy to say." Brother Ding pointed to Huang Jin in the distance.

At this time, Huang Jin was also in trouble, looking at the wounded soldiers all over the ground, and looking at the only four or five family members left beside him, he regretted taking this errand.

There are more than 60 of the more than 100 soldiers he brought with him, and a small half of them are wounded.

In a humid place like Annam, it is easy for wounds to festering and infecting if they are not treated, even if the accompanying Ming merchants took out a lot of herbs and personally treated the wounds for these soldiers.

But more than half of the wounded still fell.

"It is estimated that the arrows of these people are smeared with poison, and the wounded soldiers have been running for more than an hour." An accompanying medical officer shook his head, he didn't have anything to do.

The people in the Nanyang area are good at using poisoned arrows, and there is no way for this kind of injured medical officer, and they can only look at their own creation.

However, fortunately, there were only a small number of arrow wounds among the wounded soldiers, most of whom were seriously wounded, and most of them were already on the verge of dying.

"My lord, it looks like Dongpu has been occupied by the people of Zhenla, let's go back to Meidi!" A housekeeper turned pale and spoke to persuade.

With such a large number of soldiers suddenly appearing on the boundaries of Dongpu, they should immediately return to Meidi and inform Yang Yandi instead of moving forward.

Huang Jin is also difficult to ride a tiger at this moment, Yang Yandi ordered him to escort Ming Shang to Dongpu to meet Chen Shangchuan, but now he is in Dongpu, but who would have thought to meet Zhenla's Fanren, if he wants to continue to move forward, he will meet more Fanren troops along the way, and then he will rely on these people to estimate that they will all be planted here.

Huang Jin naturally wanted to go back, let alone him, and the rest of the soldiers were also frightened one by one, and they were reluctant to go forward even if they were killed.

"Lord Lin." Huang Jin stepped forward and arched his hand to Lin Xu.

"Lord Yang ordered me to escort the Chinese businessmen to the boundary of Dongpu, and now that we have escorted the Chinese businessmen to Dongpu, it is time for us to return to the United States."

Lin Xu and Brother Ding glanced at each other, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that the Dongpu Realm would encounter a life, and it was okay, Lord Huang still took the soldiers back as soon as possible."

Since these Meidi soldiers wanted to run, Lin Xu couldn't dissuade them, after all, they had indeed sent the Chinese merchants to Dongpu, and they could only rely on themselves for the rest of the journey.

"The wounded." Ding Ge asked.

Huang Jin gritted his teeth, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "If you can walk, you will go, and if you can't move, you will help." ”

After finishing speaking, Huang Jin left without looking back, followed by several family guards.

The group rested in the village for the night, and the next day they parted ways.

Huang Jin fled with more than 40 soldiers early in the morning.

The wounded soldiers who could move naturally left with them, while those who couldn't really move were simply stabbed.

Before the soldiers fled, they didn't forget to look at the carriages on the side with their greedy eyes, but the Ming army guards were beside them, looking at these Ming guards like rakshasas, these soldiers didn't dare to make any moves.

"Looks like we're going to have to go the rest of the road on our own." Looking at the soldiers who were drifting away, Brother Ding sighed and said.
