Chapter 1121: Break through and ask for help
Qiu Luan glanced at the generals under his command with a gloomy face, and these people all lowered their heads to avoid Qiu Luan's gaze, obviously not wanting to take on this task of nine deaths and one life.
Mr. Qiu was disappointed and annoyed, and secretly regretted that he didn't bring Xie Sangun out, but there was no regret medicine in this world, so Qiu Luan resorted to a trump card - a heavy reward, a heavy reward of three thousand taels of silver.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and when they heard that there was a reward of three thousand taels of silver, all the generals who wanted to lower their heads in the crotch of their pants subconsciously raised their heads, but no one squeaked.
It's no wonder that the lowest-ranking generals present are all thousand, and although three thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money, it is not enough for them to sell their lives.
Qiu Luan couldn't help but secretly scold these guys who saw the money, and were about to continue to increase the price, when someone suddenly said in a deep voice: "Lord Commander, three thousand taels, I'll go." ”
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a man with a waist knife striding over from the shadow of the firelight, and a thousand households present couldn't help blurting out: "Guo Heizi!" ”
The man walked up to Qiu Luan and repeated in a deep voice: "Lord General Soldier, three thousand taels, Lao Tzu did it." ”
Qiu Luan couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he didn't bother to blame this thing for being disrespectful in tone, and looked this Guo Heizi up and down.
I saw that this Guo Heizi was not tall, but he was very sturdy, he belonged to the short and sturdy type, his skin was like black charcoal, but he was as his name suggested, and a scar on his face that crossed his eyebrows made him look a little more hideous.
"What's your name?" Qiu Luan nodded with satisfaction and asked.
Guo Heizi replied very dryly: "Guo Liang, nicknamed Guo Heizi, a hundred households." ”
People don't talk much, ruthless people don't talk much, Qiu Luan was even more satisfied, and asked again: "This mission is to break through and ask for help, nine deaths, are you sure you want to take it?" ”
"There are three thousand taels, why don't you take it?" Guo Heizi is still very crisp.
"You're alone?"
"I have a bunch of brothers who have died."
"Okay, it's you!" Qiu Luan is also simply authentic.
"Give the money first." Guo Heizi was even more straightforward, spread his hands, and directly asked for silver.
Qiu Luan's face sank and said, "Could it be that Ben would have been without your silver?" I will pay it later. ”
Guo Heizi shook his head and said stiffly: "I don't do it if I don't see the silver." ”
Qiu Luan couldn't help but be furious, and really wanted to order this black charcoal head to be dragged down and cut down, but finally someone dared to sell his life, who did he find to break through and ask for help?
"Okay, the silver will be given to you first, and someone will come and fetch the silver." Qiu Luan shouted at the captain of his own soldiers.
Soon, several pro-soldiers came over with a wooden box and put it in front of Guo Heizi, and said unhappily: "Guo Heizi, this is three thousand taels, you order it." ”
Qiu Luan is a hereditary marquis, his net worth is still very rich, and now he is the chief soldier of Jizhou, although it is only a few months, but he has also made a lot, three thousand taels of silver is not much for him, and he brought tens of thousands of taels of silver this time, mainly to reward his own soldiers.
As mentioned before, the pro-soldier is equivalent to a personal bodyguard, the most loyal, blocking the gun and knife for the master, taking the money to buy his life, if the treatment is not good, who will give you his life? Now Qiu Luan took out three thousand taels from the reward of the pro-soldiers to Guo Heizi, and the pro-soldiers were naturally unhappy.
Guo Heizi opened the box and looked at it, but he didn't count, closed the lid, directly grabbed the pull rings on both sides of the box and moved it, then carried it on his shoulders and turned around and left.
Qiu Luan's pro-soldiers couldn't help but secretly stumble when they saw this, three thousand taels of silver plus nearly three hundred catties of boxes, this black charcoal head was easily moved, and sure enough, there were a few handfuls of strength.
Qiu Luan was not surprised when he saw this, the more capable Guo Heizi is, the greater the possibility of rushing out, and his net worth and life are tied to this kid.
It is said that Guo Heizi carried the wooden box back to the camp of the hundred households to which he belonged, called all the brothers under his command over, and then directly poured the silver in the box on the ground, and said concisely: "There are three thousand taels of silver here, Lao Tzu takes four hundred taels, and the remaining two thousand six hundred taels are divided into thirteen brothers, two hundred taels each, and the brothers who have taken the silver will follow Lao Tzu to break through and ask for help, who dares, sign up by yourself." ”
As soon as these words came out, more than 50 people immediately flashed out to say that they wanted to participate, two hundred taels of silver for these low-level soldiers, it is definitely a huge amount of money that they have dreamed of, you must know that the military salary they receive every month is only two taels of silver, part of which is not cash, two hundred taels of silver is equivalent to their income of one hundred months, that is, almost ten years of military pay at one time, it is surprising not to be moved.
As the so-called wealth and danger are sought, there are two hundred taels of silver reward, it is definitely worth fighting, not to mention that tomorrow the Tartars will definitely attack, it is difficult to say whether they can hold it or not, horizontal and vertical are a life, the battlefield kills the Han, the people die and the birds are facing the sky, and after eighteen years, he is a good man, afraid of a fart!
Guo Heizi glanced at the more than fifty brothers who stood up, walked over directly, grabbed a dozen young soldiers who had not yet married like an eagle catching a chicken, and threw them out, shouting, Mao Changqi came again, which immediately attracted a burst of laughter.
"Whoever doesn't have a baby yet, or a daughter-in-law with a big belly, or is over forty years old, will automatically withdraw consciously." Guo Heizi said coldly.
The remaining twenty or so soldiers in the field couldn't help but look at each other, and finally fifteen of them reluctantly withdrew, and there were exactly thirteen people left in the field.
Guo Heizi frowned, and walked in front of one of the old pawns, who had a frosty face, a red nose, a few cracked lips, and a wry grin, revealing two rows of uneven yellow teeth.
"Old Li Tou, how old are you?" Guo Heizi asked in a deep voice.
Lao Li Tou sneered: "Fourth...... Forty, exactly forty! ”
"Didn't you brag a while ago that you were fifty years old and had a son, and now he is telling Lao Tzu forty?" Guo Heizi said with a dark face.
"Aha, aren't your subordinates just bragging about it, you can't do it seriously, Boss Guo, my baby is only one year old, and my wife and I are not young, so I have to save some money for the baby to leave a way back, right? Boss Guo let his subordinates join, and his subordinates will not hold back. ”
Guo Heizi hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "Okay, take the silver, life and death are at your own risk." ”
"Okay!" Lao Li was overjoyed, and stepped forward like an arrow and took twenty ingots from the pile of silver, each of which was ten taels.
Soon, a few thousand taels of silver were divided.
At midnight, a dozen Franc cannons in the camp suddenly roared and fired at the Tartars to the west and east, and the whistling shells pierced the night sky, and the sound of the cannons shattered the silence of midnight, and naturally woke up the Tartars.
However, the Tartars were not fools, although they surrounded the Ming army, they put their tents out of the range of artillery, and the shells of the Ming army could not hurt them at all. Of course, the reason why Qiu Luan ordered people to open fire was not to kill and injure the Tartars, but to attract the attention of the Tartars.
After a round of shelling, the camp of the Ming army was on fire, and I saw the Ming soldiers fighting out on the east and west sides in two ways, shouting and killing and gunfire!
The Tatar general Holge hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, and when he saw the movement in the camp of the Ming army, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, it seems that he underestimated the general of the Ming army, and in this case he dared to break through, is he confident that he can escape our Tatar cavalry, and he doesn't want the mountains of grain here?
General Holger was suspicious, but he would rather believe that he had it than that he did not, and he immediately mobilized his troops to intercept it.
At this time, in the camp of the Ming army, Guo Heizi left the camp with thirteen brothers from the south side and rushed into the defense line of the Tartars.
It was dark tonight, and although the fire in the camp was as bright as day, Guo Heizi and the others disappeared into the night after running a hundred meters, and they were never seen again.
Qiu Luan clenched his fists nervously, I hope Guo Heizi and the others successfully rush out and invite the rescuers, otherwise they are very likely to be here.
The night wind whined, and the shouts of killing came and went in the east and west, but in the south it was relatively calm, and in the distance was the continuous tents of the Tartars. If you break through, you will be born, and if you can't break through, you will die and the birds will rise to the sky!
"The brethren are on track!" Guo Heizi let out a low cry and galloped wildly, staring at the front like an eagle, and the thirteen brothers behind him followed closely all the way, each holding a black round object in his left hand.
When Guo Heizi and others approached about 50 meters of the Tartar camp, they were finally discovered by the patrol post, and a wave of feathered arrows came head-on, and two brothers were unfortunately hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and died on the spot.
A sharp arrow flew across Guo Heizi's cheek, marking a bloody mark on the spot. Guo Heizi didn't realize it, he raised his hand and threw the grenade out with all his might, and the grenade flew out dozens of meters with white smoke and landed accurately in the opposite Tartar patrol team.
With a loud bang, the ten-man Tartar patrol was blown up on the spot, and the frightened horses scattered uncontrollably.
"Hey, this thing works!" Guo Heizi grabbed the horse's belly and rushed into the Tartar's camp first, and the brothers behind him threw grenades into the Tartars' camp tent and horses.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Explosions came and went, and the Tartar camp was in chaos.
In order to break into the camp, Guo Heizi and others each brought 20 grenades, broke into the Tartar camp and threw them at a crowded place, blooming on all sides, and blowing up a lot of people.
However, after the panic, the Tartars finally discovered Guo Heizi's uninvited guests, roared angrily, mounted their horses, surrounded them from all directions, and three brothers were hacked to death in an instant.
Guo Heizi and the others tried their best to lie low and cling to the horse's back, running all the way and throwing grenades, so the huge explosion sound was really a bit scary, the Tartars did not dare to get too close, and they were afraid of hurting their own people when they released arrows, and finally let Guo Heizi and others successfully rush out of the Tartar camp and take advantage of the darkness to run for their lives in the direction of Gubeikou.
