Chapter Thirty-Eight: Encountering the Enemy
This ambush point has not been exposed, and it seems that it can still get another vote. Huang Han continued to lead everyone to wait for the prey to enter the trap again.
With the capture of the third-level real slaves, every Ming army knew what it meant, and their faces were full of smiles, and they all came to touch the captured war horses to see what good things were in the captured blankets.
In order to stimulate the Ming army to fight bravely to kill the enemy, Huang Han asked Huang Nongsheng to take out the contents and show them to everyone.
The three Jiannu don't know how many Han people they had, and they really plundered a lot of goods, in addition to a hundred or dozens of taels of silver with white flowers, there are more than 20 pieces of jewelry such as gold rings, gold hairpins, earrings, etc., and some of the jewelry is obviously stained with blood.
The spare horse also carried three horses of cotton cloth, six horses of silk, and two sets of somewhat damaged chain mail, which should have been planted by two Ming army officers or family members in the hands of these three Jiannu.
Although dozens of Ming troops armed to the teeth sneaked up on the three Jiannu and were a little invincible, what does it matter?
The real military exploits and captured soldiers are obvious to all, and it seems that the Jin Army is not as difficult as imagined!
The cavalry of the 30th Ming Army no longer had the confusion they had at the beginning, and they were already in the mood to laugh with the soldiers of Jiading at this time.
Huang Han lost no time in giving the Ming army a political lesson, he looked at the soldiers with envy on their faces, and said with a smile:
"Why is it that this officer can ensure that everyone's military pay is paid in full and on time? Why do you dare to promise to give every brother who died in the war a pension of thirty taels of silver, and promise to support the disabled brothers for a lifetime? ”
The soldiers whispered to no one answered, and Huang Han pointed to the captures and said:
"This is the confidence of this officer, this official swears to treat every robe who follows the battle, this officer will give considerable rewards to the brothers who fought bravely, and will let him be promoted to an officer or even a general, now do you still suspect that this official is painting bread to satisfy hunger?"
Many Ming soldiers laughed, and they coaxed and said, "We are willing to follow the adults to build slaves, and we have to earn money to support our families." ”
Huang Han said loudly: "What's the point of just supporting your family, this official wants to take you to get promoted and make a fortune and change the court." ”
The sergeants applauded, and everyone smiled.
This time it was Hanzi who was passionate, and he waved his fist and shouted slogans: "There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant." ”
The thirty Ming soldiers said in unison: "Tiger, tiger, tiger." ”
At this time, all the robes can only be described as united, and the eyes of every warrior show a determined color.
When the ambush continued, the mental outlook of the Ming army was very different, no one was on pins and needles, and everyone was looking forward to another Houjin army taking the bait.
It is obvious that the large contingent of the Houjin army has passed, and it is unknown what caused them to fall behind.
It didn't take long for Song Pengfei to have another signal that he could attack.
This time it was not Jiannu but a Tartar ten-man caraver, which was probably damaged in battle, and this ten-man squad was not a member of the army, including the chief of the eight, and they had no one to ride, only five spare horses loaded with goods.
It was already the second time to play a sneak attack, and the Ming army was more composed, and Huang Han calmly waited until the last Tartar left his ambush position and walked forward for about twenty steps before shooting a Ming Di feather arrow to attack the back of the Tartar.
Of course, the Ming army, which had long been ready to attack, was not polite, and the feathered arrows and throwing spears were all aimed at the back of the Tartar.
This time, the cavalry that was blocking in front got the opportunity, and although the two Tartars who were running in front were hit by no less than five feathered arrows, they still held on their horses and did not fall off their horses, and at this moment they were crawling on their horses and running forward with leather shields.
There were more than a dozen cavalry Ming troops in front of them, and under the attack of the Ming army with unprecedented enthusiasm for killing the enemy, where did the two wounded Tartars have any chance of escaping, they were slashed a few times, stabbed a few times and died completely.
The small-scale ambush was no thrill or danger, the Ming army was completely victorious, and the soldiers immediately rushed to clean up the battlefield.
Huang Han thought that one could be the other, and ordered all his subordinates to quickly cover up the traces and then withdraw from the battlefield, and even the three Jiannu and eight Tartars who were chopped off and stripped naked were dragged away and thrown into a ravine far away from the official road.
The two ambushes were successful, and they captured eight Tartars of the third level of real slaves, and they really got a lot of captures, and these barbarians robbed the land of Gyeonggi for more than two months, and they did save a lot of good things.
The Tartars were full of gold and silver in their arms, and their horses were loaded with cloth, silk, and some clothes, and even three large iron pots.
It can be seen from this that there is no robber who does any business and robs directly to make money, Huang Han only robbed one day and got twenty-one war horses, thirteen bows, etc., and the precious metals in his hand are probably worth at least 1,000 taels of silver.
After arranging the secret sentry and the ambush army in the evening, everyone gathered around the campfire to cook horse meat in a captured cauldron.
The cavalrymen all knew to cherish the war horse, but one of the war horses was too seriously injured and was about to die, so in order to stop the pain of the injured horse, Hanzi ended its life with an axe.
After a day of fighting together, there were many more topics between the family members and the Ming army, and it was obvious that a sense of trust had been established between them.
Ming Jun was quite curious about this different Shangguan, who was obviously a martial artist but was willing to patiently teach the big-headed soldiers to read and hyphenate, and the mantra made them feel even more incredible.
Huang Han often said: "You will all be generals in the future, fight hard and study hard, and you will see the difference within ten years." ”
Damn, thank God for being able to keep the family from going hungry, and being a general? Although everyone took it as a joke, Shangguan said it seriously, and they still felt loved.
On the third day of the first lunar month, when Huang Han led his men and horses to an ambush point that he had been looking forward to a long time, Huang Sifang's small banner, who acted as a scout, passed the news to Song Pengfei, who responded to him, and found the enemy situation in front, and the number of people was unknown in the investigation.
There is a small village ahead, there should be more than 100 people, and if the enemy situation is discovered, I am afraid that the Houjin army is looting this village.
Huang Han immediately announced: "All of them are there, check the equipment, and now it is a first-level combat readiness." ”
After a while, Song Pengfei, who had rushed forward to observe, came back to report in person, "There are at least twenty Houjin troops looting Wangjiatun Village in front, and they are now hunting and killing ordinary people in the village, the specific number is not accurate, and it is certain that it will not exceed the number of our army." ”
After that, Song Pengfei still looked at Huang Han, he should have remembered the family members who were plagued by the Tartars, and at this time he hoped that everyone would rush into the village to save those ordinary people.
On the premise of being able to do so, it is Huang Han's mission to rescue as many Han people as possible, and he said loudly to the soldiers around him:
"The Houjin army is slaughtering the fathers and villagers, and the soldiers of our generation should kill the enemy and protect the people, and this officer orders the whole army to immediately prepare for a charge, and strive to kill all those animals."
