When You Sanjiang woke up, he was groggy, as if everything was in a dream.
In a daze, he was still on the horse. He remembered that the horse had been hit by a bullet and neighed and fell to the ground. No wonder it couldn't get off.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong. I seemed to have been rescued by a few subordinates. I still remember lying on that man's back and smelling the smell of sweat from his body.
So what...?
He tried to move his arm, "squeak", his hand was wet and sticky. "Mom, what the hell is this? It's so unlucky!"
He muttered angrily to himself, opened his eyes with force, and then froze.
He didn't know what the black mattness in front of him was. It took him a while to realize that it was his hand covered in sticky mud.
"These bastards are acting more and more unruly, and they dare to neglect me!"
You Sanjiang was filled with anger and turned his head to find someone to vent to. Suddenly he saw a tall man standing on a ridge not too far away.
"This... doesn't seem to belong to me?" He was confused and couldn't remember which team had seen such a burly man.
He closed his eyes hard and opened them again, trying to see more clearly.
He really saw it clearly. He was a man with dark and translucent skin and eyes full of disdain. He looked much darker than himself.
His steps were firm and powerful, and he was followed by two warriors holding spears.
You Sanjiang's whole body tensed up. He remembered that he had said before the battle that he would put a bounty on that big black guy's head!
He hurriedly wanted to stay away from this place, but found himself lying under the cofferdam of a large pond. Six or seven steps ahead was the water.
The sparkling water makes You Sanjiang feel friendly. I am a person who has been named in front of You Sanjiang and the Dragon King!
He struggled to get up, but unexpectedly, a sharp pain shot through his body, causing him to scream and fall down again.
The cry of pain attracted people's attention. "Look, there's a living one there!" a spear-wielding warrior shouted to his companions.
Now even the big black guy saw the pile of mud pricking his hands and feet beside the reeds.
They approached quickly, and You Sanjiang waved his hands to stop them, but his lower body hurt too much. He kept making short roars in his throat, and his body swayed left and right in the mud, like a fish thrown to the river beach and struggling.
"Oh my God, this man can't be saved!" The warrior who got there first put his spear on the ground, lowered his head to observe his injuries, then turned around and said loudly:
"Brother Hei, his legs are broken, and his crotch seems to have been smashed by something. It's all rotten!"
Kuroki walked over to take a look, but he didn't know who it was. The formation was far away and facing the sun, he couldn't see the other side clearly.
When You Sanjiang saw him at that time, firstly, because as the general, he chose a high place and was on horseback, and secondly, he had focused on the Chinese army.
Kuroki shook his head: "It's a pity for a man, let's give him a good time."
"Don't, don't!" You Sanjiang's voice was weak: "I am a general, a general."
"what did he say?"
"What kind of general is he?"
Kuroki straightened up and snorted to the sky.
The enemy general he knew was the You Sanjiang that Li Dan often mentioned, but he didn't have the skills and wasn't sure if this guy was the same person.
"Who cares? He won't survive anyway. Is this made of mud and blood? Should you two carry it back or carry it back?"
The members of the two militia groups immediately curled their lips after hearing this, looking reluctant.
"In that case, aren't the living and the dead the same?" After he finished speaking, he said condescendingly to You Sanjiang with his customary contemptuous attitude:
"Instead of suffering, it's better to help you escape and get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible. Don't be a thief and suffer this sin in the next life!"
"No, no, listen to me..." You Sanjiang was about to speak, but Kuroki was impatient. He waved his hand and immediately stabbed a spear into his abdomen.
"It's just a waste of your strength to ask you to practice more. You can't even stab a dying person lying here right now. Go away!"
The other man pushed away his embarrassed companion, stepped forward with a grunt, and stabbed You Sanjiang hard on the neck.
"Did you see? Learn from me, you are such a young boy! Don't be stunned, go and take off his head! I am not the corps commander for nothing. Don't you be dissatisfied in the future!"
He pushed away his companion who turned red with embarrassment, pulled Heimu a few steps away, and whispered: "Brother Hei, do you think this moustache is really the one from You Sanjiang?"
"Who knows? The beards look a bit similar. You can tell if you take them back and show them to the prisoners for identification."
After Kuroki finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and shouted to Tuan Ding, who had just turned the body over and pulled out the machete from behind:
"Hey, brother, that guy's chainmail is pretty good, don't break it, take it off first!"
When they climbed up the cofferdam again, Heimu Xiangzhong's pair of chainmails was tied with strips of cloth and placed on the young regiment's spear tip, and You Sanjiang's pair of thick-soled cowhide boots were hanging on top - this was A trophy he kept for himself.
The corps commander looked proudly at his newly acquired pair of cowhide engraved wristbands. You Sanjiang's head, with his hair tied on the tip of the spear, swayed back and forth with his pace, his mouth slightly open, and his face seemed to be full of smiles. Unwilling.
At noon, about a hundred people from the official army and part of the rear camp who stayed in the temple rode down the mountain on their livestock and continued to clean the battlefield and bury the corpses. The rest withdrew their troops and returned to the temple to rest and eat. Li Dan returned to the Heavenly King's Hall after taking a nap.
At this time, the cleaning of the battlefield has not yet been completed, and Mr. Ba already has rough statistics.
The camp where fire gunners were originally trained currently holds more than 600 prisoners, including more than 700 heads.
In the past two days, more than 1,600 weapons, 120 sets of armor, and more than 30 horses and livestock were seized. The amount of gold and silver turned over was equivalent to more than 900 taels.
This does not include the officers and soldiers. Their numbers have not yet been combined. However, Li Dan had made an agreement with Sheng Huai'en beforehand. He captured the enemy camp from behind in a surprise attack. The seizure and distribution were all decided by Sheng Huai'en, so Li Dan also Not going to ask.
He invited the three Yingzhengs and Ma Jiu to discuss the distribution of these things. He first equipped all those who did not have weapons such as bamboo guns and wooden sticks with weapons, then replaced the damaged ones, and made a list of the rest to be handed over.
The gold and silver were divided into four parts, one for each camp, but Li Dan gave more than 60% of the front camp's share to Ma Jiu, asking him to distribute it to the escort team, archery team and the remaining officers and soldiers.
In exchange, except for the nine healthy mules taken away by the three battalions, the front camp kept most of the livestock.
Here Li Dan laid an ambush. The armor told the outside world that the firearms brigade (fire gun squadron and bronze cannon squadron) temporarily borrowed part (the same as fire gun and bronze cannon) and would hand it over after arriving in Shangrao, but it did not explain how much it borrowed.
In addition, among the weapons, he asked Mr. Master Ba to leave more than thirty bows, which he did not include in the list.
As soon as a few people finished talking about the carving up, they heard cheers and cheers outside.
Li Dan hurriedly ordered Mao Zaidi to go out and take a look. In a blink of an eye, the little guy ran back and said excitedly:
"Brother Hei came back and took the head of the enemy general You Sanjiang. He said that he had taken it to the prisoners to identify him, and there was no doubt that it was him!"
Everyone in the room jumped up, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Heimu happily walking around surrounded by a group of people (Gu Da), Yang Yi, Zhao Jingzi and others.
Seeing Li Dan kneel down on one knee: "My subordinates led people to search by Beixiatang. Thanks to the powerful defense, they found Yu Sanjiang." After that, he recounted the original situation at that time:
"Later, some captured soldiers said that they thought he would not survive in Sanjiang and were afraid of dragging themselves down, so they abandoned him by the pond."
Gu Dadao, who was next to him, said: "Brother Hei just took me on horseback to the pond to see the corpse. The guy was hit by a bullet in the lower abdomen, and the horse was also shot and fell down. His leg was broken by the horse."
Even if I carry him back, I won’t be able to recover tonight. Brother Black did the right thing! "
"Okay! Very good!" Li Dan was very happy and asked Master Ba to get ten taels of silver: "Take it and divide it with the two brothers!"
"Well, my subordinate took that guy's chainmail back and presented it to you, sir!" Kuroki took a tray from Zhao Jingzi behind him and held it up high.
Li Dan waved his hand and said, since it is yours, I will reward you!
Xiao Wanhe, Zhou Qin, and Tan Zhongxiao all agreed, and without any hesitation, they gathered around and helped him put it on. Everyone cheered in unison, saying that he was a great warrior!
I was happy to have won the battle, and to have some money to share. The whole camp was filled with joy.
The villagers of Quanshui Village are also happy and can finally go home safely.
The monks breathed a sigh of relief. It was God's blessing that this battle did not affect them!
Tongzhi solemnly led two or three monks by the official road to chant sutras for the fallen. Lian Xingwu also respectfully lit incense on each Buddha statue and added sesame oil to the lamp.
Li Dan saw Shi Mao sighing repeatedly as he stood face to face with the battlefield at the foot of the mountain. He stepped forward and asked strangely: "Old monk is going down below to recite sutras. Why don't you join in the fun?"
Shi Mao looked back at him and saw Li Dan hanging behind his back with a pair of penises and a shark skin sheath Yan Ling knife hanging on his waist - this equipment originally belonged to Lieutenant Zhu, and was captured by Zhou Qin and presented to Li Dan.
"The defense is so impressive!" he cheered.
"I didn't have prestige originally, but I have it since I won the battle."
Shi Mao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, I can also use defense to attack!"
Li Dan laughed loudly: "Xiao Ji'er, I am just happy after winning." After saying that, he nodded and reminded him: "Brother, you haven't answered my question yet?"
"I'm just a cultivator who has the heart to worship Buddha. How can I have the strength to save others?" Shi Mao waved his hand modestly.
"Then you are here... you are not composing poetry?"
Shi Mao's face turned slightly red: "It's just a slight feeling, not a poem yet. Besides," he looked at the dashing young warrior:
"The rain of blood has stopped, the bloody wind has stopped, and there are still shouts of murder in my ears. Alas, writing poetry now is a bit...?"
"The sudden attack of the sharp sword scares the flying birds, and the movement of the grass reveals the murderous intention. The three armies broke through the sesame oil village, and the sound of the kapipe was played in the mountain pond. The small sword dyed the spiritual rock, and the setting sun and haze painted the red cliff. After victory, we discussed foreign affairs, and showed pride to you when I met you. Yu Jinxi."
After twirling his beard for a long time, Shi Mao bowed to Li Dan and crossed his hands: "A great talent in defense is not as good as Mao!"
Li Dan chuckled and touched Shi Mao with his hand: "I see you Maocai (the Chinese character is Shi Mao), your heart is in the world of mortals! It's impossible to be a real practitioner."
Shi Mao was speechless and let out a long sigh: "Beautiful Mao Ben, how could you live in Qingdeng!"
"Oh? Brother, there is something in your words, would you like to tell me in detail?"
"This..., would you like to take the time to sit down in a humble house?"
Seeing that he really extended his arms to invite me, Li Dan also became serious: "The pure land of Buddhism, wait until I get armed and then follow you in."
After saying that, he waved Heimu and Mao Zaidi over to help him remove the double penetration and Yan Ling knife. He took only Mao Zaidi and went with Shi Mao to the bridal chamber where he stayed in the temple.
It is divided into three rooms by a cliff hole, but no one lives on either side. It is said that people come and go, and even Shi Mao himself can't remember how many neighbors he has changed.
The room is only about seven steps wide and more than ten steps deep.
It's a little dark inside. With an oil lamp lit, you can see a bamboo bed inside, with two bamboo mattresses placed at the head of the bed.
Outside is a square table made of the same bamboo, but next to it are two elegant carved square stools.
Shi Mao was boiling water and making tea at the stove outside. When he saw Li Dan looking at the two stools curiously, he said with a smile:
"My little hobby made Defense laugh. Defense, please have tea."
As he spoke, he brought a jade-glazed lotus bowl and placed it in front of him. A cluster of green leaves inside slowly stretched out, the color of the water gradually deepened, and a rich flavor filled the air.
"Good tea, good utensils!" Li Dan leaned over to observe and shouted softly. He looked up at Shi Mao and asked with a smile: "Is it possible that this is also your little hobby?"
"The defensive vision is really..."
"Hey, wait." Li Dan stopped him:
"I'm at your house tonight. There is no defense here. You are Brother Maocai, and I am Li Sanlang. How about it?"
