Chapter 055: Back to Huangsha City
Wait for work with ease and surprise.
Ma Shuo's move to drive the pigs and rush the wolves directly disrupted the plan of the city guards, and under the melee, they had forgotten that there was another way of people and horses. Therefore, when Jin Tian gave an order and Panlongwei came out of his hiding place, whether it was the remnants of the city guards or those remnants of the bandits, they were all stunned all of a sudden.
Panlongwei is a proper new force.
Kill!
The first thing that Panlongwei focuses on is the city guard, as long as the city guard is defeated, those remnants of the bandits will no longer be able to become a climate.
Among the city guards, the first ones to be taken care of are those archers, and the long-range attack ability of these guys is the greatest threat to the Panlong Guard. In response to these archers, Pan Longwei directly deceived himself and approached him, not giving the other party a chance to show it at all.
Although the city guard army also belongs to the sequence of the border army, and some of the grassroots officers in it are also from the border army, they are not regular border troops after all, and their overall combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the border army, and they are not a level at all.
In the face of those mountain bandits, the city guards naturally slaughtered and directly destroyed the mountain bandit team. However, in front of the Panlong Guard, who were waiting for work, these already exhausted guards were quickly defeated. Although Panlongwei is not as good as the regular border army, its combat effectiveness is much more powerful than that of ordinary mountain bandits.
"Surrender—"
Finally, some of the Protector soldiers couldn't hold on and chose to lay down their arms and surrender.
"Surrender or kill!"
Seeing that someone chose to surrender, someone from Panlongwei's side also shouted out.
Immediately, more and more soldiers of the city protector chose to surrender, throwing down their weapons and kneeling on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, trembling.
The city guards were still like this, and the remnants of the mountain bandits did not dare to continue to resist, and then knelt there one by one, holding their heads and surrendering.
The enemy surrenders, the battle ends, the battlefield is cleaned up, and the results are counted.
"Go home, the battlefield has been cleaned up, and the results are counted. In this battle, a total of 421 people were captured, 36 horses, 200 bows of various kinds, more than 1,000 knives and guns, 150 sets of leather armor, more than 213,600 taels of silver, a number of copper coins, and a number of property. ”
When Jin Tian reported the results to Ma Shuo, Ma Shuo was still taken aback. There were more than 400 captives, but after a little thought, he understood. In addition to the more than 200 people who were finally surrounded by Panlongwei, in fact, when the two sides were fighting before, some injured people also became prisoners. In addition to those who could not be cured, the other wounded bandits and city guards became prisoners. This point is also explained by Ma Shuo from the beginning, and there are not many prisoners.
Of course, all the captives were escorted back to Panlong Village. When the time comes, these captives will be re-divided, and those who have crafts will first be incorporated into the various workshops; Part of it will be enriched to Panlongwei, another part will be enriched to ordinary cottage patrols, and finally the rest will be ordinary labor, responsible for clearing wasteland and farming and mining tasks to be carried out in the future.
All in all, for Ma Shuo, the more people, the better. Because for the frontier lands, the most scarce thing is manpower.
Unfortunately, there were no big fish in the captives. In the end, the two masters of Black Wind Village and Wolf Castle still ran away, and in the end, their henchmen won a chance to escape for these two at the cost of themselves.
Compared with Feng Cannon and Chi Biao, the vice president was a little sad. In the end, this guy not only didn't run away, but even lost his life during the melee. By the time Panlongwei found him, he had become a tattered corpse. However, he has made a lot of contributions, and 10,000 taels of the silver taels in the loot were turned out of his corpse, a full 10,000 taels of silver tickets, which is worthy of being the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce.
It is estimated that the 10,000 taels on Qiao Zheng are ready to be used to pay those hired people, but in the end, it is still cheaper than Ma Shuo.
After cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up all the traces, Ma Shuo asked Jin Tian to take the Panlong Guard and escort the prisoners straight back to Panlongling first. He himself, Bai Xuan, and Meng Hu went straight to Huangsha City with thirty veteran guards. Although, going to Huangsha City this time will definitely be risky, but Ma Shuo also has to go there in person.
As long as he moves quickly, the news of rushing here has not completely spread, and I believe that the City Lord's Mansion will not take immediate action against him. As for the other forces, he is actually not afraid, whether it is those mountain bandits or the Chamber of Commerce, they are actually a rabble.
The only trouble is actually the City Lord's Mansion. Ma Shuo actually didn't expect that the City Lord's Mansion would intervene this time, but since the matter had already been done, he would not regret it.
Ma Shuo and the thirty veterans of the guards, as well as Bai Xuan and Meng Hu, all rode on horseback this time, so they were very fast. However, they didn't ride directly into Huangsha City, which would be too conspicuous. When they arrived not far outside the city, Ma Shuo and the others dismounted one after another.
"You stay here, take care of the horses, and at the same time, keep an eye on the situation at the door, and really don't answer me at any time!" Among the thirty veterans, Ma Shuo left one and specially told the chief. Then, he walked towards Huangsha City with Meng Hu, Bai Xuan, and twenty other guards.
In order not to attract the attention of the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Shuo and the others honestly paid the entrance fee as required, and more than 20 people did not get together, they were divided into several groups one after another, and only after arriving in the city did they come together again.
After this period of development, the scale of the winery has become large. Although Kangding has gone to the cottage, the daily production here is going on normally, and because of the cooperation with Qianzhongfang, the three high-grade wines produced every day are not worried about sales at all.
At the same time as the scale of the winery expanded, a hidden back door was built in the entire courtyard. This time, Ma Shuo and the others entered the wine shop through this back door. Because there are several courtyards between the location of the back door and the original sake brewery, it is really easy for ordinary people to find it.
"Shuo'er, you're back!" After a long time, she finally saw her eldest son again, and Ma's mother was also excited. This time, Ma Shuo went out for a long time, although he also communicated with his family during the period, but after not seeing him for such a long time, as a mother, Ma Shuo's mother was still very worried in her heart. What's more, the two sons were not around during this time, and that kind of longing can be imagined.
"Mother, I'm worrying about you! My son is fine outside, and Xiao Ke is also very good. Xiao Ke has been with me all these days, and he only returned to the town a few days ago. By the way, Xiao Ke is now a thousand-legg. Ma Shuo picked out some good news and told Ma Mu.
When there was an exchange between mother and son, Qi Jing had already arranged for someone to prepare a meal. Ma Shuo immediately introduced Bai Xuan, a military advisor, to his mother and Qi Jing, and invited Bai Xuan to have a meal with him.
After eating and drinking enough, and washing up again, Ma Shuo sent someone to invite Bai Xuan and Fan Zeng to come over to discuss the next course of action.
