The red-haired ghost's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and he replied "yes!" yes！ ofcourse！ ”

The goods apparently could understand English, and Li Xin was puzzled that a Westerner could become a slave of the Mongols. At the end of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century, when Europe was at the peak of the Age of Discovery, Western explorers flocked to the ancient country of China from land and sea, especially in the southeast of Fujian, Guangdong, and even Shandong. From south to north is their path, how did this cargo get to Mongolia outside the Saiwai?

The red-haired ghost exuded a suffocating stench, and almost none of the clothes on his body were intact. Li Xin covered his mouth and nose and asked Lu Jiu to smash the thumb-thick chains on the hands and feet of this thing.

The red-haired ghost was moved to almost tears, and stepped forward to hold Li Xin's hand and thanked him enthusiastically. Li Xin really couldn't stand the stench on his body, so he pushed him away and ordered someone to find a cotton coat to put on him.

"Thank you very much, General of the East, my name is Heisenberg, and I am from Swabia of the Holy Roman Empire."

Li Xin had never heard of the place name Swabia, but he knew of the famous Holy Roman Empire. In other words, this guy who claimed to be Heisenberg came from the area called Germany in his previous life. Suddenly, Lu Jiu walked over with a worried face.

"It's not a good thing, Brother Thirteen, according to those Han captives, this is the vanguard tribe of the Mongolian Han Division, and a large number of people are still coming from the north one after another......"

Li Xin suddenly became alert, and lost his voice: "Could it be that the Mongols want to enter the border wall?" ”

Lu Jiu nodded, "It should be so, we are a mistake this time, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, we have to take advantage of the heavy snow to go back quickly, otherwise as soon as the heavy snow stops, we may encounter the Mongols head-on at any time." ”

The joy of victory was immediately replaced by anxiety about the future, and Li Xin said to Lu Jiu after a little thought: "Well, immediately gather your men and horses, and be ready to evacuate at any time." ”

"What about the captives?"

"The captives were released on the spot with a delay, and the adult men had their right thumbs cut off."

Lu Jiu received the order, but he stopped talking, and left to make arrangements.

The red-haired ghost Heisenberg could not understand Mongolian or Chinese, and he was still immersed in the euphoria of being saved.

"Hey, General Dongfang, my savior, can I have the honor of being your retinue?"

Li Xinzheng was worried about the news that the Mongols would enter the Kou in a big way, and the red-haired ghost's Mao Sui didn't take it seriously, he just wanted to let him go when he returned, so he said perfunctorily: "Excuse me, what will Your Excellency do?" ”

Unexpectedly, Heisenberg replied very seriously: "I was once a captain in the Swabian infantry regiment......"

Li Xin's heart pounded, "Can you use artillery?" ”

Heisenberg smiled, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth.

"Of course, I'm one of the best gunners in the infantry regiment."

Li Xin was slightly surprised, it was not easy to have such a perfect tooth in an agrarian society with a low standard of living, and this thing might be a Western aristocrat.

Heisenberg said, giving a thumbs up. Of course, this is a compliment to himself. Heisenberg's undisguised, even somewhat exaggerated, behavior of praising himself made Li Xin feel amused. If it was not himself who was talking to Heisenberg at this time, but a native of the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely think that this thing was bragging. Usually only the incompetent brag about themselves.

However, Li Xin believed that Heisenberg was not lying, and that the guards did lack the ability to use artillery, and he was ready to set up a separate artillery corps from the infantry, and this person appeared at the right time.

"Very good, the Zhenjun Army is short of talents like Your Excellency, you are welcome to join!"

Heisenberg's eyes suddenly lit up, he really didn't expect this Eastern general to be very talkative. "It will be the greatest honor of my life to join the general's infantry regiment and fight for the brave general!" This mouth was full of beautiful words, but Li Xin couldn't be disgusted at all.

"Well, when you return to the city, I will issue you a military uniform and arrange a job for you. Now your first priority is to find a horse and prepare for a quick march and retreat! ”

Heisenberg was stunned, "Didn't the general go on a crusade against those damned barbarians?" ”

"Barbarians?"

"Those barbarians are the Satan of hell! Oh, my God! At this point, he hurriedly struck a cross on his chest, as if he remembered something unbearable from the past.

Li Xin soon understood that the Satan in Heisenberg's mouth should be the main force of the Mongol Han Army, and a sneer rolled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Haven't you heard a word, Your Excellency? If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it mad! He couldn't directly answer that he couldn't beat them, and he planned to avoid them first, and then wait for an opportunity to fight back.

Heisenberg smacked his lips, although he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence from the mouth of the Eastern General, but it sounded very profound and powerful. Li Xin was about to get on the horse, but he grabbed Li Xin as if he suddenly remembered something.

"My friend, poor Dr. Albert is still in the hands of those barbarians, merciful and brave General of the East, please save him!"

Li Xinxin said that this product even has companions, but now they themselves may not be able to protect themselves, where do they have the extra energy to save that Dr. Albert, they can only take one step at a time. But he did not intend to deceive Heisenberg on this matter, and he was glad to lend a helping hand to this international friend if the existing conditions permitted.

"Your Excellency, to tell you the truth, our Acropolis needs an infantry regiment to return immediately. So, to rescue your friend Dr. Albert, I can promise it, but I can't do it until later! ”

Heisenberg was obviously a little disappointed, and unconsciously drew a cross on his chest, "Poor Conrad, may God bless you!" "It looks like he's really worried about his friend Dr. Albert.

Li Xin said, it turned out that this Dr. Albert's name was Conrad, but he didn't know what the name of this thing was. It is clear that Heisenberg is just a surname.

"Hey, if you don't mind, can you tell me your Excellency's full name?"

Heisenberg's eyes flashed with an imperceptible gloom, and he hesitated and replied, "Ludwig? Heisenberg. ”

It's a standard German name, and Li Xin notes that he doesn't have a "von" in his all-hit, which means that he is not from a German aristocracy.

At this time, Lu Jiu had already gathered all the adult men in this tribe, and there were dozens of them in a rough count, some of these people were fearful, some were resentful, and some were cursing. But this did not help them in the slightest with the doom they were about to come, Lu Jiu's cold gaze was retracted, and he waved his hand. The soldiers under his command immediately pounced like wolves and tigers, and with a miserable howl, one after another bloody thumbs fell to the ground.

Heisenberg followed behind Li Xin step by step, and happened to witness this tragic scene, and couldn't help but fight two cold wars. This cruel penal law was extremely vicious to these barbarians, who had carefully observed these barbarian warriors during the hundreds of days and nights they had been enslaved, and their main weapon was the rudimentary dake, and without their thumbs, they could no longer use the dagger accurately, and even the saber would be a problem.

Thinking of this, Heisenberg looked at Li Xin with a little more fear in his eyes. Look at the screaming barbarian warriors, each with a rope tied but unable to move, this double pain has distorted their faces and looked disgusting like bats in the gloomy caves. Heisenberg quickly withdrew his gaze and followed in Li Xin's footsteps. He hadn't spoken to anyone in this place for a long time, and the language barrier and this unbearable loneliness had tormented him for a long time, so he never wanted to live like this again.

With the completion of the execution, Lu Jiu mounted his horse and led the cavalry and horse team to take the lead in leaving the tribal camp to search and guard the surrounding area. Li Xin personally commanded the infantry phalanx to leave, and he divided the entire phalanx into three parts: front, middle and rear, and retreated in columns.

Gu 14 and his 100-man team were used as the palace column, and the 100-man team he commanded fought bravely in this battle and suffered the greatest loss, and the reason why Li Xin asked him to come to the palace was also because this person's psychological quality and personal ability were second to none among the five team officers.

Watching the large army gradually disappear into the vast snow curtain, Gu Shishi turned around, his face was gloomy and terrifying, he was about to make an order that even he himself could not have imagined a day ago. Gu Shishi beckoned to his team deputy.

"Are you ready, brothers?"

The deputy of the team looked hesitant and worried.

"I said, brother, are we doing this well? The chief soldier only ordered us to break off, and we didn't ......."

Gu Shishi's eyes rolled and scolded: "What's the matter, am I not good at talking?" Where is so much nonsense, hurry up and let the brothers prepare! ”

"I only listen to my brother in Zuo Qianhu, since my brother has made up his mind, the unconditional obedience of the brothers is ......"

After speaking, he turned around and left, and Gu Shishi stopped him again.

"Remember, now we all listen to the Chief Soldier, the kindness of the Chief Soldier's wife, our brothers are doing this to clear up the troubles for the Chief Soldier."

The deputy of the team nodded and replied: "Also, cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows!" ”

Gu Shishi smiled and kicked him.

"Go quickly, learn those poor sour, what kind of poems ......"

At the sound of an order, dozens of Yanling knives were waved high, and the Mongolian man who had just had his right thumb cut off fell to the ground one by one. The women, children, and children who were chained together were so frightened that their faces shrank and shrunk as if they had expected their doom.

The wind is getting stronger and the snow is getting heavier. The red-dyed valley was soon buried by the falling goose feather snow, as if nothing had happened. A column of dozens of people was heading south step by step against the strong wind, and their footprints were quickly buried by the wind and snow, and there was no trace of them.
