Chang Yu slept soundly and even had a dream, but he never imagined that when he woke up, Kuang Ren and Duan Wuhu had surrendered a den of horse bandits from the Tianwang Village!
Yuan Wentian, who was shooting arrows into the sky, was running around the two of them like a horse boy. The more than a hundred people under him were squatting under the woods outside the village wall.
"Factory Supervisor, we have emptied Tianwang's Village. Take a look..." Kuang Ren and Duan Wuhu's eyes were bloodshot but extremely excited. Chang Yu looked at the piles of supplies under the thatched shed and smiled bitterly.
Shaking his head, he is also a loser, only a little better than Qin Fugui.
Tianwang Village was really poor, with no more than 10,000 kilograms of food and only a few hundred taels of gold and silver. Chang Yu began to believe what Luo Ertang had said before: these horse thieves were only part-time farmers and half-robbers, or even part-time horse thieves.
Of course, it is also possible that these days we are too poor and there are many people traveling with us, so it would be nice to grab something, but Qin Fugui and his family of two hundred couldn't finish a meal.
The environment these days is not good, and it is not easy for thieves to do so.
Another thing Chang Yu was not mistaken about was that this village was indeed the outpost of Tianwang Village, and the so-called village chief Luo Ertang was the third among the so-called Eight Great Vajras.
Of course Luo Ertang was very depressed. Chang Yu's people came up and took control of the village, so that he had no chance to send people up the mountain to deliver the message, which led to the big boss Yuan Wentian thinking that the officers and soldiers were coming to suppress him and surrendered directly...
"Factory Supervisor, should we kill them all or..." Duan Wuhu knew the little eunuch very well. When he was in Taiyuan, he often told the rebels to surrender but not kill them, and then he turned around and slaughtered them all.
Chang Yu looked at the hundreds of shivering horse thieves in the woods outside the village wall, then looked at the common people in the thatched huts in the village, as well as the villagers in the distance who were still busy serving the army, and fell into silence.
"You two go get some sleep first," Chang Yu said softly to Duan Wuhu and Kuang Ren.
"We are not sleepy." Duan Wuhu was very excited. He held the handle of the knife and waited for Chang Yu to say a word and he would start killing.
Chang Yu smiled: "Don't hold on, there are still dozens of miles of mountain roads ahead. After staying up all night, go to bed quickly. Don't reach the end of the field and have no energy to fight. He waved his hands and urged the two of them to go to bed. This is the governor's own property.
arrange".
Duan Wuhu and Kuang Ren finally went to bed, while Chen Suole and Chen Ruxin took over the security duties. Chang Yu was alone under the eaves, watching the horse thieves outside the village wall, lost in thought.
Li Muxian and Li Shiyuan were not awake yet. Qiao Sanxiu whispered beside him: "Does the factory supervisor want to use these horse thieves?"
Chang Yu hummed and nodded slightly: "Do you think Master Qiao can use it?"
Qiao Sanxiu shook his head: "It is useless to keep him, but it is a pity to kill him."
Chang Yu chuckled: "How do you say that?"
"These horse thieves are actually just mountain people. They usually have a great reputation when they rob families and homes. It's useless to drag them out to fight. They are not even as good as those raw melons and eggs in the Beijing camp. They feed hundreds of mouths and waste food. But if they are all killed, let's kill them."
, which is...a bit of a pity."
"Master Qiao doesn't feel it's a pity, it's because he thinks he can't do it," Chang Yu said lightly. Qiao Sanxiu sighed: "Although horse thieves rob houses, they rarely kill people..."
Chang Yu immediately interrupted him: "Robbing homes and homes is a crime that will lead to death." Qiao Sanxiu stopped talking.
"But..." Chang Yu looked at Yuan Wentian, Luo Ertang and others under the thatched shed: "If you kill them in peacetime, you can kill them, but now you can use them."
"Logistics?" Qiao Sanxiu suddenly had an idea, and Chang Yu smiled and nodded.
"We are not familiar with the mountains and we have to stay longer. The soldiers are already tired. It would be better to leave these horse thieves to make fires, make food and run errands." Chang Yu paused and then said: "And there are several horse thieves entrenched in the mountain. Really
It wouldn’t be so easy to wipe them all out. It’s better to use poison to fight poison..."
Um... Qiao Sanxiu was stunned. He already knew what Chang Yu was going to do. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The factory supervisor is a master of art, but he is not afraid of raising tigers."
"Although it is possible, it is much easier to kill a tiger than a pack of wolves, isn't it?" Chang Yu smiled slightly, and Qiao Sanxiu nodded.
Then Chang Yu woke up Li Shiyuan and muttered with him for a while, and then Li Shiyuan went to the hay shed and called Yuan Wentian and others aside to chat.
Xiang Wentian and others originally thought that surrendering might be okay, but Duan Wuhu was about to draw his sword at one moment and then with a murderous look on his face.
After buying his life, Li Shiyuan came over to chat with him.
In a word: help the officers and soldiers finish this battle and let bygones be bygones!
Yuan Wentian was overjoyed: "Then we are also officers and soldiers now?"
Bah, what a beautiful idea. Li Shiyuan angrily rebuked: "You are now guilty of the crime. The Lord in Beijing wanted to kill you. Fortunately, I said many good words and gave you a chance to live. Behave well."
After the war, I will let you go back to the mountains. If you do evil, you will be killed..."
Outside the Qingshan Tower outside the mountains, fighting was going on outside Qingzhou City. Jia Waixiong woke up early in the morning and rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked outside from the lookout. The sky was covered with clouds and the Qing army camp by the Nanyang River was slightly calm, so there was a dark pine tree.
He walked out of the tower and took a bite out of the bird.
While shaking the water, Lao Jiu also came out, stretched out, and looked into the distance: "Boss Jia, are the Tatars going to be quiet now? Will they take action today?"
Jia Waixiong looked up at the sky. The air pressure was really low. He murmured: "I'm not that smart and can't make clever calculations. But the Tatars said yesterday that if they don't surrender before this evening, they will have to learn from Qingzhou City. I don't think so."
Just to scare you."
Lao Jiu nodded and looked around: "It's cool enough for a fight today."
Jia Waixiong glanced sideways at him: "Do you have any other pursuits besides fighting in life?"
"Yes, such as the free money, the beautiful women..." Lao Jiu smiled obscenely, and Jia Waixiong punched him: "Don't imitate me."
The butler of the palace came to deliver the meal again, and the generals called each other very hotly. Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu were particularly impressed, but Song Luoyu was extremely disgusted. When he was about to rebuke, the butler suddenly said to him: "Female General, you
You haven't been to the city for days, and the princess is thinking about you very much. Just now she said she would come to the city to visit you..."
The princess is Zhu Youtong's eldest daughter, Zhu Yan, who is only sixteen years old. She is a graceful lady who is much prettier than Zhu Cian. The Qing army is approaching the city and Qingzhou is in danger. The little girl is worried to death, but there are so many women these days.
There were many things that I couldn't see and couldn't ask, so I could only sigh in the palace. It happened that Song Luoyu came to Qingzhou with Chang Yu and was arranged in the palace. The heroine naturally attracted people's attention and soon got acquainted with Zhu Yan, but she was also very speculative. After all, although Song Luoyu
I have been surrounded by men all year round, but after all, I am a woman who also yearns for sisterhood. However, there are too few girls in the circle, so I am happy to meet a girl who talks like this.
"It's dangerous in the city. Don't let her come up. I'll go down to look for her later." Song Luoyu glanced outside the city and sighed, "If I turn back and I'm still alive."
"You bitch, you are saying depressing words so early in the morning!" Lao Jiu was not happy. Song Luoyu kicked him without saying a word. Lao Jiu was furious and was about to get angry when he saw Song Luoshu coming over.
...Can't beat it!
At noon, the Qing troops outside the city did not make any big moves. Except for a few scout horses having fun outside the city, the rest were washing horses and feeding grass and wandering around in the camp, looking like they were in a peaceful time.
But the more this happened, the more pressure Jiawai Xiong and others in the city felt. Knowing that it was the calm before the rainstorm, the Tatars would definitely take action today!
So Xiangyong was ordered to go to the city to start practicing defense. How to avoid counterattacks when the Qing army fired arrows, how to push down ladders with hooks, how to adjust the angle of the trebuchet, and how to cooperate with archers and slingers. If the Qing army attacked the head of a mountain city,
How to resist counterattack...
These experiences were brought back from the gate of hell by Jia Waixiong and others countless times.
