Chapter Seventy-Eight: Human Trafficker Xue Rengui
"Quick, clean up the battlefield, recruit mend knives, veteran supervise."
Fuzhou City has been almost bombarded into ruins by the artillery of the black army, the city wall that was attacked almost all collapsed, the city gate does not know where it was blown away, and the Qianlai defenders in the city are stupid, when the black army invaded, they all looked crazy and knelt on the ground and worshiped something, and later the translator who understood the Tibetan language knew that they were praying for God to forgive them, God forgave them or not, anyway, Xue Rengui They will definitely not forgive them, Under the supervision of the veterans, the recruits mended the knives of the Tubo soldiers who were still wailing after death, watching these being hit by their muskets, but because they were not critical, they struggled on the ground in pain or were lucky enough not to be directly smashed by the shells, only half of their bodies were left, one arm, there was everything, the mutilated corpses, the internal organs all over the ground, those recruits were shaking their hands and holding black knives, while vomiting, even if those veterans looked at this purgatory-like picture, they couldn't help but vomit, but the veterans just vomited and scolded.
"Damn, this firearm is too fierce, you, hurry, give him a good time."
The struggling Tibetan soldiers covered their wounds and stretched out their hands for help or for relief, these are unknown, because he has been speechless, under the urging of the veterans, the black knives in the hands of those recruits are cut off by those painful soldiers, and the Tubo soldiers who are not dead one after another will always close their eyes, of course, there are also dead eyes, but these are no longer important to the black army, as for those Tubo soldiers who are not injured are gathered together, as in the past, These people will be disposed of, but Li Yong was a human trafficker before he became a weapon dealer, and these strong Tubo soldiers were the trophies of the black army.
"Commander, three thousand two hundred and fifteen people were taken prisoner."
"Boss Fan, these are the young men of Tubo, wipe a zero for you, those five people are considered to be sent to you, how about it?"
"Hehe~ Commander, you are good enough in this abacus, do you want to consider retiring to us to be a messenger of peace?"
"Then there is no need, what about me, I was born to fight, to be honest, these are still the benefits of the third lady for our black army."
"It's all my own people, and I won't blame you, what about these slaves and those loot, I want to wait for them to be cleaned up and then settle for you."
"Okay, then the brothers' bonuses will depend on Boss Fan."
The logistics support troops gathered some gold and silver jewelry collected from the pile of the dead, and then handed them over to the peace messenger surnamed Fan, who took these things and sold them, and the money obtained was divided in half with the black army, of course, including these captured Tubo soldiers, these people will be turned into slaves and sold to Tuyuhun, Turkic or to the Tang Dynasty, this policy is from Zheng Liwan's handwriting, she knows that every time the black army fights, there is no grass, and no prisoners are left, after feeling that she needs to change, After all, it is not good for Li Yong to increase the killing, and she discovered the sweetness of the slave trade when she was in Xinhua Pavilion City, and finally discussed with Li Yong to give this matter, that is, all the booty on the battlefield is collected by the logistics support force and handed over to the peace messenger in charge of trafficking, this is to prevent the soldiers from fighting because of greed while picking up the spoils of war, with such measures, the soldiers can concentrate on killing the enemy, and the rest of the things will be left to logistics. And those young and strong captives will be sold as slaves, but it is forbidden to be Han Chinese, otherwise military law will be engaged, and it is stipulated in the military regulations of the black army that you cannot attack Han people when fighting outside, and you must protect them. The peace messenger surnamed Fan asked his subordinates to take away the bound captives and collected booty, and he had to continue to follow the black army to continue to set off, because he was responsible for the trading of Tibet, and he didn't have to do anything, just look for the missing work behind, the black army had goods, he had a way, and they would get rich with each other, and it would be a win-win situation, which was why Li Yong agreed with Zheng Liwan to do this, and after being busy with everything, the black army left the purgatory-like Fuzhou City like a receding tide, and they rushed to the outskirts of Songzhou to join the dragoons and ghosts who had already arrived. When Niu Jinda's forward troops arrived at Fuzhou City, when they saw the corpses all over the field and the ruined Fuzhou City, everyone was stunned, there was no living person in the entire Fuzhou City, it was quiet like hell, such a scene made Niu Jinda, who had been through a hundred battles, shudder, and those soldiers who inspected the battlefield couldn't help but vomit when they saw the broken and hideous Tubo soldiers, and at this time a scout who entered the city to investigate ran back to report to him.
"General, there's nothing alive inside, are we going to the city?"
Niu Jinda looked at the collapsed city wall and Fuzhou City without a city gate, and said angrily.
"Do you think such a city needs to be entered? Ordered to bury all the corpses to prevent the plague, and sent someone to tell the general about the situation here, we are camping outside the city tonight, damn it, who did it? Lao Tzu has never seen such a scene after so many years of fighting, disgusting. ”
Niu Jinda spat on the ground and rode away, the scout who got the order felt that he gave the other people an order to the main general, Duan Zhixuan was shocked after receiving the situation of the striker, he hadn't fought yet, this is the end? How is this feeling very familiar, he hurriedly summoned all the generals to his Chinese army tent to report this matter, but all the generals present were also unbelievable after hearing it, only one person was most familiar with this situation, that is, Su Dingfang, this combat mode is what an army does, he stood up and said.
"General, I know who did it."
"Huh?"
Everyone present looked at Su Dingfang.
"The Black Army, they must have done it, I saw them when I was in the Turks, they came out without leaving a living mouth wherever they went, and any city captives were a burden to them."
Su Dingfang was recommended by Li Jing to be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass materials for the rear army, and he followed Li Jing to discuss the east and west, and he was half of Li Jing's disciple, so no one would not believe what he said, he was the only one here who had seen the black army, Duan Zhixuan pondered after hearing it, and suddenly remembered that Tuyuhun was not like this back then? The imperial court picked up the places in the five states in a daze, and from what he saw in the military newspaper, combined with what Su Dingfang said, Duan Zhixuan was 100% sure that this elusive black army did it, but their purpose seemed to be to help them, not the enemy.
"General Su, do you think these black troops are friends or foes?"
"With my understanding of them, what they do is indeed unacceptable, but they advocate the supremacy of the Han people, in the Turkic time, as long as it is the Han people, they will not only not do it, but will help them, this time they appear here, it is estimated that they are also dealing with the Tubo people, their commander is a very strange person, the marshal once said, don't provoke the black army, they want to do whatever they want, I don't think we need to pay attention to them."
Duan Zhixuan nodded, feeling that what Su Dingfang said made sense, because if these black troops were enemies, they would have attacked them a long time ago, and they would not run to turn Fuzhou City into a ghost town, so he decided to ignore the black army, change his plan, and march directly to Songzhou through Fuzhou City, according to Niu Jinda, Fuzhou City has lost the meaning of garrisoning, it is better to hurry up and rush to Songzhou, otherwise Lu Dongzan reacts, and then sends reinforcements to support Songzhou, which will be even more unfavorable to the war later, And Li Yong, who was lying comfortably in the rear army, naturally knew the news of the destruction of Fuzhou City, he was not worried at all that Xue Rengui would not be able to take Fuzhou City, with the help of such a powerful firearm, he would not be able to take Fuzhou City, then he Xue Rengui could commit suicide by cutting his stomach, after Niu Jinda received the order to continue advancing, he rushed directly to Songzhou through the broken Fuzhou City, and Xue Rengui's black army was no longer in a state of rapid marching, in order to maintain physical strength, marching at a speed of fifty kilometers every day, although the altitude here is not very high, but in order to avoid accidents, Xue Rengui is still careful to march, because he still has baggage and artillery, these are big guys, as he keeps walking, the altitude and terrain are not so easy to walk, some people have already had a slight altitude sickness, the black army doctors have long been prepared, each soldier's kettle is soaked in rhodiola, there is nothing to drink a sip, the black army stopped and went for nearly ten days to arrive at the meeting point, Xue Rengui listened to the intelligence of the intelligence bureau and ghosts, and learned that Lu Dongzan's reinforcements had come to Songzhou, with about 50,000 troops, The distance from them here is less than a month, Niu Jinda's forward is already close to Songzhou, and Duan Zhixuan's army can reach the periphery of Songzhou City in about ten days, according to the time calculation, if they don't block these 50,000 reinforcements, then Duan Zhixuan will be in danger of being annihilated by the front and back of the whole army, Xue Rengui said after thinking for a while.
"Blocking these 50,000 reinforcements is definitely needed, we are now in this position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I decided to give the Tubo people a vote here."
"Say, Commander, how we should fight."
"The artillery of the artillery regiment is placed in this position, the firing angle is good, basically covering the entire battlefield, and can provide powerful artillery coverage and support, while the musketeers are arranged in the front to shoot in a half-moon formation, because the opponent's cavalry can only attack in a cone shape when they attack here, you see, our position is made of wide and narrow terrain, which is conducive to our firearms to play, as for the dragoons on the left and right to protect the two wings from sneak attacks, you can play freely with the ghosts, but start lightly, those Tibetan barbarians are the bonus of the brothers."
"Hahaha~"
The Chinese army camp of the black army let out bursts of lewd laughter, since Fuzhou, Xue Rengui has become interested in such human trafficking, as long as he sees the Tubo people along the way, he will arrest them, his small book constantly records how many people have been arrested today, and now the 50,000 reinforcements are gold ingots in the eyes of him and those black soldiers, just like that, a generation of famous generals are going farther and farther on the road of human traffickers.
