0861 Fortune
The captain took the man's head, fiddled with it twice, and threw it back to the soldier, saying, "With this head, you won't lose anything!"
The soldier who took over the head broke the head's bun and tied his hair around his waist and said, "Boss, let's hurry up and rush inside, there must be more bandits inside!" Look at a few more heads and we'll get rich!"
Wu Chang said disdainfully, "You know a fart! Do you know why Lao Tzu is desperately leading you forward? Just to grab this head! Go inside, don't have any of them!"
The soldier next to him was puzzled and said, "Why do you say that? Didn't you say that there are thousands of water bandits in this village, and it is impossible for so many people to go to the river?"
Wu Chang said, "Thousands of bandits are true! But they are being cut down on the river at this time, and those heads will not be our turn! As for the people who stayed in the village, they must be the lowest-ranking people among the bandits, and such people can only live on the outskirts of the village! If you don't believe me, you'll see that those fools who are desperately rushing in will come back empty-handed!"
A few soldiers thought about it, and it was really true! Water bandits, like the official army, also have an internal class! When they camped, they were also the largest officials, and they lived in the middle, and then lined up on the periphery. The one who lives in the outermost part must be the one with the worst strength and the least likable, so he was left behind when he went out to rob!
Several of the soldiers were deflated when they heard this, and one of them said, "So, won't we only have one head to capture this time?"
At this moment, cheers rang out in the courtyard next door, and it seemed that the water bandits in their yard had also been beheaded! Taking this opportunity, Captain Wu recruited them to come over, and then he whispered, "There is still a chance, but there must be one person left to watch this family of water bandits!" They are also considered to be credited, and they can't be let go in vain!"
The soldier with his head tied around his waist hesitated and whispered, "Why don't I stay here and watch them!" I've already beheaded a head, and I'm sure I'll get the big head for the silver reward!"
Wu Chang nodded with satisfaction when he heard him say this, and then said in a low voice, "Tie up a few of them in a while, and let Xiao Zhao escort them outside the village to watch." Take this opportunity to follow me to the river, and go downstream along the Yangtze River!"
Speaking of this, a soldier understood this, and whispered in surprise: "Chief, you mean that those bandits on the river have lost now, but there will definitely be people who will flee back, let's go and kill them, right?"
Wu Chang said with a teachable expression, "That's right, that's what it means!"
Another soldier said, "Just a few of us, do we have enough manpower?"
The soldier with his head tied around his waist kicked him and said, "What are you afraid of? The people who ran back were frightened, maybe they didn't even have weapons, they could just hold down and cut off the head, how could there be so many things!"
Wu Chang nodded and said, "Xiao Zhao is right! Even if they have weapons, they are not afraid, those people have no fighting spirit when they come back, and they don't dare to fight at all! So the most important thing is not to fight, but to hide so as not to be discovered by them! When the time comes, you'll be busy scaring people away!"
When everyone saw Captain Wu say this, they all nodded and agreed. Then someone went in and dragged the headless body out and threw it outside the yard. The other men tied up the four women and one man in the courtyard, tied them into a string with ropes, and led them out of the village.
They were the first to come out with captives, so the soldiers guarding outside looked at them with envy. Especially the head on their waists, their eyes are red with envy!
The soldier with his head tied to him is also a clever ghost! He took the rope and braged to the soldiers about how brave he was, how he jumped into the window, and attracted the attention of most people! The other four took the opportunity to walk around the village towards the river.
When they walked to the river, they looked at the Yangtze River from a high place and found that the battle on the river was over. There are a lot of small boats on the transport ship to fish people all over the river! If you are injured, cut off your head directly, and throw your body into the river! The uninjured ones were dragged onto the boat and tied up, this is all a military feat!
Wu Chang was overjoyed when he saw this situation! He hurriedly said, "Quick! Fast! Hurry downstream and watch out for paths! A large part of the bandits here are locals, and they will definitely come back along the path, so be sure to stop them!"
To their surprise, there were more than a few smart people! In the process of finding the path, they ran into a few more groups of people, and it seemed that they were all fighting with the same idea! So a few of the leaders got together and discussed. Just join forces and follow the path. There is a slash that is distributed according to the amount of effort.
They were able to reach an agreement so quickly because they knew what they wanted to think of, and their generals would definitely want it, but now the generals were busy encircling and suppressing the water bandits in the village. As soon as the battle in the village is over, he will immediately send someone to touch downstream! When the time comes, they won't be able to grab the head!
Predictably, these clever guys will definitely be able to hold back a lot of bandits who have escaped. Those heads were taken back for large sums of silver. Those who go back to buy land buy land, and those who marry relatives are enough to live a good life!
But at this time, the battle in the center of the village was in trouble! In the largest house in the center of the village, the soldiers attacked four times before occupying the yard!
In the beginning, the soldiers went from house to house in an orderly manner. Because they knew that the village had been surrounded, and the people inside could not escape, although the house-to-house clearance was slow but safe, and there would be no omission. And as the location says, except for some gains on the outskirts of the village, the rest of the houses are full of old and weak women and children! Except for the fact that these people are gangsters, there are not many real gains.
But when they attacked the center of the village, they met with stubborn resistance! At the beginning, the soldiers decided to climb over the wall when they couldn't push the courtyard door. Since this house belongs to the village chief's family. Obviously, the courtyard wall is also higher than other people's houses, and the soldiers who climb over the wall are a little laborious!
But this could not stop the soldiers who were eager to make a fortune, but when the first soldier had just climbed the wall, he only heard a strange cry and twisted his body and turned out. There was a scream in mid-air, which scared everyone! When he landed, everyone saw a hole in the cotton armor on his waist, and blood was gushing out! Fortunately, he dodged in time, and it seems that the injury is not serious!
The officer leading the team hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Someone's in there?"
The wounded soldier covered his wounds and shouted, "There are two people inside guarding the courtyard wall with spears, and they can't climb the wall, it's too dangerous!"
