Chapter 255: Settling Accounts After the Autumn
"Hoo ......"
It's finally over.
Sewing up the wound of the last wounded, Zheng Tuoniang wanted to stand up, but because she had been squatting for too long, the blood in her legs could not circulate well for a while, and as soon as she stood up, she felt that her whole leg began to be numb, and her body shook for a while, and she was about to fall.
"Miss, are you alright?"
"Informant, I'm fine."
Zheng Tuoniang barely supported her body, endured the numbness and tingling sensation in her legs and smiled and comforted, she stood for a while, until the blood circulation in her legs was good, then she walked to the side of the wounded and exploded the wounded with clean gauze, and then said to the wounded with a smile: "It's okay, as long as you rest for one to two months, the wound heals and you can return to the team." ”
Looking at Zheng Toniang, who was smiling at herself, the wounded's eyes were a little red. This wounded man is a sergeant about twenty years old who was born in a military household with a thousand households in Jiangdong Gate, and he naturally knows the name of Zheng Tuniang, but this concubine who is the commander of the envoy actually bandaged the wounds of a military household with a humble status on weekdays, and he was naturally grateful, only to see him struggling and about to bow down to Zheng Toniang: "Thank you, madam, your great kindness is unforgettable." ”
"Huh...... What are you doing. Zheng Tuoniang's fair-skinned face immediately turned red, and she was a little at a loss, and she hurriedly said to the line girl on the side: "Line Niang quickly help this brother up." ”
The informant hurriedly held the sergeant up, and reproached in her mouth: "You reckless boy, if you move and crack the wound again, isn't our hard work just now in vain, hurry up and lie down." Miss and I were originally from the medical camp, and it was supposed to help you treat your wounds, so there was so much reason. ”
"No, this sister, you're wrong." The sergeant said solemnly: "Although the villain is a humble military household, he also knows the truth of gratitude and retribution. In the past, before the commander made the adult come to Jiang Ningwei, the villain's family of five could only eat wild vegetable dumplings even for the Chinese New Year, but since the commander came, the villain alone had one or two silver dollars and three liters of grain every month, and the father and sister of the family could finally have a full meal. ”
Zheng Tuoniang and Xianniang looked at each other, although they were born in Qinglou, but no matter how difficult the Qinglou women on the Qinhuai River usually lived, at least they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and naturally they didn't understand how difficult the life of the military households at the bottom of the society was. In fact, before Yang Feng's arrival, many military households in Jiang Ningwei's military households would be starved to death every year, in this era, food is hope, whoever has food can gather people's hearts, which is also the reason why Yang Feng was able to quickly make all military households grateful to Dade after his arrival.
Although she still didn't understand, for Zheng Tuniang, who had long regarded Yang Feng as her man, the sergeant's admiration for Yang Feng still made her very proud, and she comforted the sergeant a few more words before she walked out of the tent with a plate with the informant......
…………
It was already dawn and the battle was long over, but some things were not over.
In the prisoner camp, more than 20,000 captives were divided into many squads and squatted on the ground, and around these captives, a group of sergeants armed with firearms were looking at them murderously, the bayonets on the firecrackers flashed with cold light, and all the prisoners of these soldiers were silent. In fact, they are not afraid and they can't do it, just now a few people who do not believe in evil have already explained with their lives what will happen if they do not cooperate with these sergeants.
Zarile and his family also crouched on the ground, and with his parents and sister behind him, he looked with horror at the officer in cavalry armor standing not far away, and the dozen or so knights around him who were also wearing cavalry armor.
This officer was unusually tall, and his face was very majestic, but a pair of slender eyes ruined all this, making his whole person look unusually weird and hideous, and I saw him slowly pacing back and forth less than ten paces away from the Zarile family, as if thinking about some problem, and next to him stood a middle-aged man in a famous Mongolian costume.
For a long time, he glanced at the prisoners squatting on the ground around him, for some reason, Zarile knew that the gaze was only passing over him, and he didn't specifically notice him, but he still couldn't help but shiver all over his body, as if he was being targeted by a lone wolf, a hoarse voice sounded from his mouth, and the middle-aged man standing next to him was helping to translate.
"I guess you don't know this official, but it doesn't matter, I think you will know this official soon. So the official first introduced himself, the official's name is Huang Jiye, and he was added to the thousands of households in Jiangning Weishenchi Fort, and he came here for the events of last night. ”
Hearing this, the bodies of many people in the group of captives couldn't help but tremble, and some of them hurriedly lowered their heads.
Seeing this, Huang Jiye showed a strange look on his face, "How about it, you know why the official came, originally your affairs here are none of the official's business, but because what some of you did last night was really out of line." Lord Yang is very angry, so you have to pay for what you have done, and now this official will give you a chance, and everyone who participated in the rebellion yesterday will stand up for me! ”
"Brother!"
Zaril's sister shook his hand with some fear.
Feeling his sister's pale face and trembling little hands, Zarile hurriedly shook his sister's hand with his backhand and comforted: "Aza Cai, don't be afraid, we didn't do anything last night. Akito won't trouble us. ”
But when he said this, Zarile noticed that someone was looking at him with a cruel gaze, he turned his head to look, and found that it was Badeyi and several other people who had encouraged him to participate in the riot last night were looking at him with fierce eyes, and when he saw this, Zarile's heart suddenly shuddered. He never expected that Badeyi would be so fateful, and after setting off a riot last night, they ran back alive and blended into the group of prisoners, it seems that he is eyeing himself.
Time passed slowly, but not a single person from the more than 20,000 people in the entire prisoner camp came forward. These Mongols are not fools either, and naturally know that the only result of standing up now is death.
Seeing such a situation, Huang Jiye was not surprised at all, people are afraid of death, and now they are the ones who are lacking in heart. But this doesn't mean that Huang Jiye just let them go, he nodded: "Okay, it seems that you don't plan to stand up, it's okay." I don't expect you to stand up on your own, but what happens next may be a little unacceptable to you. ”
After that, Huang Jiye waved his hand, "You go and bring some people out." ”
"Yes!"
Following Huang Jiye's order, the sergeant behind him answered loudly and rushed into the nearby crowd, and with a burst of chickens and dogs jumping and screaming, they soon pulled more than a dozen people out of the crowd.
"I don't know who was involved in the riot in the prisoner camp last night, so I can't identify it, but I know someone knows, and that's you. Now the official has caught ten ...... Fifteen people, if you are willing to tell the official who participated in the riot last night, the official bypassed these people, and those who are willing to speak out will be rewarded by the official, what do you think? ”
There was still silence in the crowd.
"Good...... You don't want to say it, do you? Huang Jiye smiled, but if you look closely, you will find a burst of indifference in his eyes.
Huang Jiye took out a three-eyed handcuff from his waist, put it on the head of an old herdsman, and whispered, "Do you know who participated in the riot last night? ”
Seeing this, the Mongolian who acted as an interpreter on the side also became nervous, and stammered to translate Huang Jiye's words.
However, the old herdsman looked at Huang Jiye with contempt, and then he actually spat at Huang Jiye, and a mouthful of yellow thick phlegm spit on Huang Jiye's shoes.
"Good...... Very good, worthy of being a descendant of Genghis Khan, the bones are really hard. ”
The smile on Huang Jiye's face finally retracted, and then he only heard a muffled "bang", and the old herdsman's head suddenly burst open like a rotten watermelon, and brains, blood, and minced meat splashed all over the ground.
"Ah......h
The surrounding Mongolian herdsmen became in a commotion, and many of them stood up in excitement, but they were soon pressed by the sergeants next to them, but just a few excited herdsmen were smashed by guns and their heads were bleeding, and then they obediently squatted on the ground again.
Huang Jiye wiped the blood splashed on his face, pointed the fire gun at the head of another young herdsman again, and asked lightly, "How is it?" Does anyone want to say that now? Still no one...... Very good, I like it. ”
"Bang!"
Blood splattered again.
"Bang!"
After killing five, the sixth man finally collapsed, and the middle-aged man, who was about thirty years old, collapsed to the ground crying tears and snot came out.
I said...... I say...... I know who participated in last night's riot, and it was him...... It's him...... And him...... All three of them took part in last night's riot! ”
"Hahaha...... Very good! ”
Huang Jiye laughed out loud and kicked the crying middle-aged man into the crowd, and at this time, several wolf-like sergeants had already rushed into the crowd and dragged the three people out.
"Very well, let's move on!" Huang Jiye's indifferent voice continued to sound in the sky above the prisoner camp.
"Your Excellency, you don't need to ask them, I know the people who participated in the riot last night, and there are more than a dozen of them hiding next to me!" A voice rang out suddenly.
"Oh!"
Huang Jiye looked over and found that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old man who spoke. Rao is Huang Jiye couldn't help but glance at him curiously, suddenly laughed, and beckoned to him, "Good boy, come over and let me take a look." ”
When the young man walked over, Huang Jiye asked with a smile, "What's your name?" You just said that you know that there are more than a dozen people who were involved in the riot last night, can you point that out? ”
"Lord Qiqi, my name is Zarile, I know that there are more than ten people who participated in the riot yesterday who are hiding here, I am willing to identify you!"
"That's him...... He...... He...... They ......"
The direction Zaril was pointing in was where Badeyi and the others were......
"My lord, our casualties have come out this time." In Yang Feng's big tent, Li Geyu, who is in charge of all the materials and logistics of the baggage battalion, reported: "In this battle, our army lost 253 people and 487 were wounded, of which 101 were seriously wounded, but most of them were sergeants of the baggage battalion. ”
In Yang Feng's big tent, Yang Feng and dozens of thousands of households under his command all sat on the small horse and listened to Li Ge's report.
After listening to his own casualties, Cao Yingmao, who was impatient, asked again: "What about those Mongolian Tatars, how many Mongolian Tatar heads have we captured?" ”
Li Ge said without hesitation: "Last night, our army raided the Mongolian camp and was successful, and later galloped to the aid of our army camp and defeated the Tartars, and captured a total of 4,255 Mongolian Tartar heads, captured 561 people, and captured a total of 1,897 war horses. ”
"yes, got it."
After Yang Feng listened, his face did not show a happy expression, but became a little heavy like the officers around him. Last night's battle was really the largest casualty since the formation of the Jiangning army, not only killed and injured six or seven hundred people, but also from a strategic point of view, they also made a mistake last night, everyone did not expect that the Mongols fought with the same idea as them, if it were not for Yang Feng to return to the aid in time, the camp would not have been broken through by the Mongols, and then the consequences would be serious.
Seeing the solemn expressions of everyone, Yang Feng sighed lightly: "Okay, don't be too sad, the main responsibility for last night's incident is in the official, and the official didn't expect the Tartars to be so cunning, and they also played the trick of stealing the camp, so that they lost so many brothers, if it weren't for the luck of our army, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of us would be hungry today." ”
Seeing Yang Feng say this, the surrounding officers couldn't sit still, and Qiu Disheng hurriedly said: "Don't blame yourself too much, my lord is responsible for what happened last night, how can I bear it by myself." ”
"Yes, my lord, if it weren't for the prisoner riot in those prisoner camps last night, our losses would not have been so great."
Speaking of the riot in the prisoner camp, everyone was so angry that their teeth itched, if it weren't for these people to disrupt it, the baggage camp would not have lost so many people, Qi Yan is still lying in the medical camp.
"That's it!" Yang Feng waved his hand, "Everyone must remember this lesson, you can't think of your opponent too stupidly at any time, otherwise we will only suffer." This time, the official will say the ugly things in front, and when he arrives in the Horqin grassland tomorrow, everyone will pay more attention, do you understand? ”
"Yes...... Follow the teachings of adults! "There was a neat sound from inside the tent.
