If he didn't kill the party and the tower, Wang Wu would not be able to take away their old department at all, and even the remnants of the army he led would have to be controlled by them.

There's no way, who made one of the family members a Guogong, the other a Hou Ye, and they are all high-level leaders of Lao Shunjun.

And he, Wang Wu, is in the "system" of the Ming army, but he is just a nominal Jingzhou general.

Real power, just rose from a "battalion commander" to a "regiment commander".

What is this status and the qualifications comparable to that of Liu Tichun, the commander of the Ming Army, for the party and the tower?

Ma Sizhong, Xu Deyi and others, who were born in the old Shun army, will definitely only look forward to these two people, so Wang Wu will lose his influence on the veterans of the Shun army.

Rather than being constrained by these two surrender factions who have wavered in their hearts, and even splitting the team that he has managed to pull up, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the root cause to prevent future troubles!

As long as they can successfully control the old department that the two of them left in Lao Mugang, even if Tian Heng, Wan and the two rebel generals did not retreat in shock, Wang Wu would have the strength to confront them head-on!

Therefore, if the subordinates of the party and the tower are willing to stay and work with him, Wang Wuzi welcomes it.

If he doesn't want to, he doesn't force it.

But what Wang Wu didn't expect was that dozens of party and tower subordinates all chose to go to Laomugang with him.

Including Ma Changyuan, the registered chief soldier under Ta Tianbao.

"If the general goes to rescue Liu Shuai, he is willing to help the general!"

Ma Changyuan was not only willing to do anything with Wang Wu, but also took the initiative to bow to Wang Wu, without mentioning that he was the chief soldier of Jiangxi appointed by the Yongli Imperial Court.

This person also has some eyesight, and when he heard Wang Wu say that they were going to Lao Mugang, he immediately realized that he might be able to make a great contribution after returning to Ming.

This credit is to help Wang Wu collect Lao Mugang's party and the old department of the tower.

"If you really help me, you are my brother in life and death!"

Wang Wu couldn't ask for it, after all, it was a bit risky to take the head of the party Shousu and Ta Tianbao to deter their old subordinates from obeying him.

In case someone is not convinced, it is inevitable that there will be a fight.

With the help of Ma Changyuan, a general who is familiar with the situation, his success has greatly improved.

Let Ma Changyuan sort out the team at the moment, and go to Lao Mugang with him later.

There was probably an hour or so before dawn, but Wang Wu couldn't wait.

He also told the dog to count the casualties and snatch out all the Manchurian soldiers' armor and arrows that could be used in the village.

He is ready to arm his subordinates to the teeth as much as possible, and put on double armor if he can.

One more set of armor, one more life.

Unfortunately, because the fire burned too quickly, there were only more than 60 sets of usable cotton armor snatched out of the village, 13 iron armors, and more than a dozen helmets.

It was impossible to count how many Manchurian soldiers were killed at the scene, because many of the dead Manchurian soldiers were consumed by the fire.

On the side of the Ming army, 17 people were killed and 21 wounded.

The casualty ratio is more than one in six.

Even if he took advantage of the surprise of the night attack, this casualty ratio was still too large, which made Wang Wu very distressed.

But there is no immortal in war!

At present, there is no condition to dig graves for the dead to be buried, so he asked the mute Zhu San to lead people to carry the fallen soldiers together and incinerate them on the spot.

Do not let the remains of these fallen soldiers be insulted by the Qing army after the Ming army leaves.

Zhao Jinzhong saw that Ma Changyuan was talking to the gang of soldiers, so he reminded Wang Wudao: "Head, will these people turn against the water?" ”

Wang Wu thinks not.

Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, Ma Changyuan's gang slaughtered a lot of Manchurian soldiers, and they couldn't hide this matter if they wanted to, because although the Ming army successfully killed Du Min, the deputy commander of Manchuria, in this battle, there were no less than 200 Manchurian soldiers who escaped.

After the Manchurian soldiers went back, because they couldn't figure out the situation, they would only attribute Du Min's death to the party and the Ta Descending Army!

Therefore, regardless of whether Ma Changyuan and others are sincere in doing anything with him and Wang Wu, there is no possibility for these people to turn against the water.

At least not for now.

Zhao Jinzhong nodded after hearing this, but he still kept an eye on it, if the situation was not right, he would shoot that Ma Changyuan first with one arrow.

"Master, I..."

Kang En came to Wang Wu with a lot of hesitation, and stopped talking.

Wang Wu glanced at him, pointed to the distance casually, and said lightly, "You can go." ”

"Huh?"

Kang En was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to let him go so easily.

Wang Wu knew his thoughts, and said: "My words have always counted, since you helped me take this village, I will fulfill my promise to let you go... Why, do you, a Manchurian, still want to kill the Tartars with me? ”

"Huh? ... Thank you, sir! ”

Kang Enbei was excited in his heart, thought about it, knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Wu three times, and said sincerely: "Little one, I wish the old man a long life!" ”

"Alright, let's go."

Wang Wu waved his hand, "See you on the battlefield in the future, and you will have your destiny." ”

Hearing this, Kang En shook his head hurriedly and said, "The little one doesn't dare to be the enemy of the master, don't dare!" ”

"The world is unpredictable."

Wang Wu smiled and motioned for Kang Enbei to leave now, lest Ma Changyuan's gang find out about his existence as a true Tartar.

"Yes, yes."

Kang En couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, and hunched his waist and took a few steps back before turning around and walking towards the outside of the village.

But it was not long, and it didn't take long for his figure to disappear into the night.

It seems that it is also like an arrow.

Looking at the disappearing figure of the other party, the corners of Wang Wu's mouth curled slightly, and he was about to order the team to gather, when Xu Lin came over to report that many corpses had been found under the eastern slope.

It should be the Ming army originally stationed here.

Only then did Wang Wu remember that his brother-in-law Wang Si was the commander of the defenders of Cizhulong, and hurriedly brought someone over to check.

When we came to the hillside, there were a few soldiers looking through them with torches.

Wang Wu also took the torch from Xu Lin and went down the hillside, and then found that the corpses of the Ming army here did not have a head.

Apparently beheaded after being captured, rather than dying in battle with the Qing army.

This made Wang Wu's heart ache, but he didn't want to believe that his brother-in-law Wang Si would be killed after the Qing Dynasty.

However, none of the corpses here had heads, and it was difficult for him to tell which one belonged to his brother-in-law.

After walking in vain, Wang Wu sighed lightly and shook his head, preparing to return to the slope and lead the team to set off.

I just climbed halfway up the slope, but my body was stagnant.

Not far away, on a large tree behind a soldier with a torch, there were human heads hanging one after another.

One of them is Wang Si!

The expression on his face was not death, but horror.

Xu Lin and the others also saw the heads of people hanging from the trees by the Manchurian soldiers, and even though they were not afraid of death, they were also shocked by this gloomy scene.

Under the blowing of the wind, the heads kept turning in mid-air.

Suddenly the face is forward, and suddenly the face is backward.

Some began to curse the cruelty of the Tartars, others remained silent.

Wang Wu was also silent, he knew that his brother Wang Si must have surrendered to the Qing army for his life, but after surrendering, he found that the Manchurians still wanted their lives.

The look of horror on his face before he died said it all.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and continued to climb up the slope without saying a word.

When the figure leaned out of the slope, its face was already frosty.

This time, he wants to win the handsome!
