Chapter 229: The Nadahai Tribe
Five days later, a group of more than 200 Khitan cavalry roared and galloped, followed by dozens of servant knights driving herds of horses behind.
The commander of the left-behind division of Nanjing City, Du Yelu, turned over and dismounted at night, carefully inspecting the traces left at the mouth of the valley......
A few war horses turned back from the black soil forest and said to Yelu Daye, who was squatting on the ground: "My lord, the Mongols inside are gone, and there is not a decent log left in the camp."
"Got it, are Song Wen and his party still with those herdsmen?"
"The cavalry marching to the north did not meet them, and should have gone all the way west with those herdsmen."
Yelu Daya nodded, then touched several large pits on the ground, and twisted the blood-soaked and dried soil......
"How powerful is this powder bomb? Was the body found? ”
The two henchmen arched their hands and said, "My lord, there are a total of twenty-four corpses, buried in the ditch over there, and they are pulled out naked...... There are quite a few burn marks and strange wounds on the body! Several other carcasses were dug up by wild wolves and eaten ......"
"Go and see how these people died!"
Several corpses had not yet decomposed, and the ashes were stiff in the ditch, and several Khitan cavalrymen kicked them in disgust, and then covered their mouths and noses with pieces of cloth.
Yelu Daya snorted, walked down the ditch and carefully examined the corpse's wounds...... "Cut this place!" See if there are any arrows or weapon fragments inside! ”
A henchman walked up and drew his scimitar and slashed down, no blood, only the dull sound of the knife slashing into the shell of the corpse.
"My lord, I found it! It's a piece of iron! ”
The Khitan guards endured nausea and took out a sharp triangular piece of iron from the abdomen of the corpse, held it and sent it to Yelu Daye.
Yeroda carefully picked up the piece of iron and looked at it carefully......
"Write a letter immediately and send someone back to tell the prince! The power of the gunpowder bullets of the Song people is still beyond imagination, please use death row prisoners or traitors to test it...... Let's just say that in such a narrow place, six gunpowder bombs exploded, and twenty horse bandits could have been killed! ”
Yelu Daye whispered to the henchman scribe beside him, and the scribe was surprised: "My lord, is this gunpowder bullet so terrifying?"
"If this thing is used well, it is really a militaristic weapon! Song people...... It's really powerful, but it's a pity that this kind of person is a businessman who can't be on the stage in the Great Song Dynasty, and he will never be reused! ”
~~~~~~
Song Wen gritted his teeth and picked up a short knife that had been burned with fire, cutting the arm of a herdsman who was about to be broken......
The herdsman was biting a wooden stick in his mouth, and his whole body was trembling like chaff, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down.
The afternoon before yesterday, when An Chun and Da Luchi returned to the Black Earth Forest with more than 20 horse bandit heads, Song Wenzheng took the big-eyed sister Dao Tong Mingyue and a group of old and weak women and children to fight hard with the remaining six or seven horse bandits!
An Chun's eyes were red and Daruchi rushed over frantically, and the remaining few horse bandits were all hacked to death on the ground during the waving of the saber......
Song Wen breathed a sigh of relief, although he was sure to kill this gang of wandering horse bandits, but the final casualties were definitely not small...... An Chun: They came back in time.
In the last count, more than 30 horses were seized, and six of their own herdsmen were wounded and three were killed...... All of them are old herdsmen who are at the forefront and fighting the horse bandits head-on!
This is the first application of gunpowder bullets in actual combat, and it can be called terrifying. Later, when the battlefield was counted, it was found that a total of seven gunpowder shells were thrown, one of which was wet with splashed blood and did not detonate, and the rest killed and disabled a total of 12 horse bandits......
The smaller and denser the space, the more terrifying the lethality of the gunpowder bullet!
Three herdsmen and two Mongol women were wounded, and at last all the herdsmen, both men and women, who could carry knives, rushed up to fight the bandits, and the arm was almost severed by the Semu.
It's a pity that he still couldn't save his arm.
Song Wen couldn't suture the blood vessels, so he could only tie the blood vessels tightly with the silk threads that had been run by the spirits, and then tightly suture the wound of the broken arm, and then bandage it with precious gold sore medicine...... The rest depends on whether this old man can survive the infection.
With his hands full of blood, Song Wen walked out of the tent exhausted.
Here is a nameless little sea, that is, a blister. In the past two days, dozens of fleeing herdsmen have come to gather one after another, and none of them want to leave their homeland to make a living in the strange grasslands of the Kerebu, so it is very likely that they will be caught by those tribal leaders as herdsmen, and to live like that is to suffer.
Mohan Orchid was also wounded, and a dying horse bandit threw his scimitar in his hand and slashed Mohan Orchid in the shoulder.
Da Luchi was distressed to death, so Song Wen checked it several times and took Jinchuang medicine before he was relieved.
In the next part, Song Wen plans to gather more herders and make a plan to recover the Nadahai grassland......
An Chun brought a bucket of water and asked Song Wen to clean it well.
Song Wen simply took off his robe and scrubbed his upper body. The Mongolian herdsmen and girls passing by narrowed their eyes and peeked carefully, this Han Langjun has a compassionate heart, understands medical skills and knows martial arts...... Several of his guards are also good sons with strict military discipline, who have never bullied herdsman girls, and have brought a lot of good things such as salt.
The daughter of the grassland never hides her feelings and admiration...... It's a pity that this Song Langjun is finally followed by a big-eyed girl, always with the same look as a kitten who is firmly guarding her little dried fish.
Song Wen, who has become an adult, has not been at ease to practice martial arts, although he has not obtained any true martial arts, but the breathing method of Daomen and the group body strength that he studied with An Daoquan have never let go. Although Song Wen is still a little thin, he already has a lot of manliness in his muscles.
It's a pity that the current Great Song Dynasty is still the perverted aesthetics of the literati who occupy the mainstream, and the chubby, fat-headed, big-eared bearded man is appreciated by the powerful after all, as for the martial arts...... Phew, what qualifications does a thief have for a stinky hill with a stinky mould?
A small hand held a linen towel to help Song Wen wipe his back...... Song Wen knew that it should be a little girl with big eyes.
"Ling'er, are you homesick?"
Song Wen was not hypocritical, sat on the stone and asked the little girl to help him wipe his back, and asked softly.
The little girl shook her head...... "My aunt left early, and my father has been floating on the sea all year round to beg for a living, and I am used to it." ”
Song Wen was a little distressed when he heard this, and then said: "The golden blood family in the north of the prairie is not easy to deal with, so don't worry about it for the time being...... When we help Daruchi and these herdsmen force them back to the Nadahai grassland, it is best to contact the Kereh Department again, and we can do some business with them in the future. When we're done, let's go straight to Hejian Mansion! Then go directly to your father and them, and finally let's go to Sanxian Island......"
"Well, these herders are pitiful...... Should help them. ”
Song Wen smiled...... "It's a pity that it's in the territory of the Liao Kingdom...... If it is in the Great Song Dynasty, I can quietly transfer the villagers of Qingshanzhai over, and I may be able to completely disperse these horse bandits in one battle! ”
