Wang Wu, who had shaved his hair, briefly explained a few words to Tong Tian Wen and then led the team to set off.
Right now, the most precious thing is time.
The place where we encountered the Manchurian Red Flag Zuoling Yatu tribe was less than 30 miles away from Cizhulong in a straight line. It didn’t look very far, but we had to climb a mountain with an altitude of several hundred meters on the way. If we were to walk on two legs, it would be at least as big as Half a day, that is, if we leave now, we will arrive at Cizhulong tomorrow morning.
This is an optimistic estimate based on everything going well.
If an accident occurs on the way and encounters other Manchurian soldiers performing the task of "sweeping caves", it is unknown whether they can successfully sneak into Cizhucage.
According to Kang Enbei's explanation, their camp was in Magou, a village where local people lived about five or six miles directly in front of here.
There are more than 470 people under Yatu's command including Zhenman and Aha. In addition to the team commanded by Yatu himself, there are also two teams commanded by the leader, Futa, and the Xiaoqi school, Taiyinbu.
Mafuta and Taiyinbu were both "sweeping holes" nearby.
The one left behind in Magou is a logistics support team composed of Aha. There are only more than 30 people, but the equipment and combat effectiveness are not weak.
Since more than a dozen Manchu soldiers escaped from the Ming army, Wang Wu was unable to determine whether the escaped Manchu soldiers returned directly to Magou or fled to report to the other two groups of Manchu soldiers who were "sweeping holes". Therefore, he did not dare to lead his troops directly from Cross Magou to avoid being ambushed by Manchu soldiers or blocked by Manchu soldiers in Magou.
So Kang Enbei, who had been "sweeping holes" here recently and was familiar with the terrain, could only lead the way and chose a small road to bypass Magou.
In order to increase the speed, in addition to carrying necessary weapons, the Ming army only brought two meals of dry food per person.
They didn't wear any iron armor, only one person wore a piece of cotton armor.
Kang Enbei did a pretty good job as a guide. It only took more than an hour to lead the Ming army around Magou on a small road. He did not encounter Manchu soldiers along the way, but he saw two massacre sites.
The tragedy is really that of a stone that needs to be cut through, and a thatch that needs to be overheated.
Maybe he was one of the perpetrators of these tragedies. Kang Enbei was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look up and face it.
Wang Wu ignored Kang Enbei, but took the mute and the blind man up to a high slope and looked towards the horse ditch behind.
They were too far away to see clearly the situation in the village.
There was also silence all around, which made Wang Wu feel a little dazed among the mountains.
It's like a paradise.
Only this Taoyuan is now stained with blood.
Every corner of Wushan is full of blood.
The blind man Wansi said: "Captain, it seems that the other two Tatar teams did not receive the message."
Wang Wu also believed that the Manchu soldiers who escaped might not have delivered the news to Magou, because the only people left behind in Magou were a group of Han Aha.
As the master, the Manchu soldiers looked down on the Han slaves and did not want to be embarrassed in front of Aha. Therefore, the Manchu soldiers who escaped most likely went to find the other two teams of "sweeping holes", causing Aha on the Magou side not to know at all. Condition.
"No matter, let's go!"
After jumping off the slope, Wang Wu gave the order to continue setting off and walking along the mountain road.
About evening, at a place called Heigou, Xu Lin, who was exploring the road ahead, sent back news that there was a team blocking the road ahead.
Wang Wu was shocked and quickly took people over to check.
From a distance, the team blocking the road seemed to be Manchurian soldiers, but that was not entirely true, because there were a group of Han people in the team.
If you look carefully, you can see that the group of Han people were carrying looted goods and grain for the Manchu soldiers, and they also drove a lot of pigs, sheep and other livestock.
Two Manchurian soldiers at the back of the team who were closer to the Ming army were smoking and chatting. One had several chickens and ducks tied to his back, and the other was holding a sheep in his hand.
Smoking a pipe.
The Manchurian soldiers liked this.
While chatting, they laughed from time to time.
Wang Wu found that there were not many Manchurian soldiers in the team. There seemed to be about twenty, but there were hundreds of Han people.
Since he did not know the specific situation of the deployment in Manchuria ahead, Wang Wu did not dare to order an attack easily, so he called for Kang Enbei and asked him what was going on with the team in front.
Kang Enbei looked at it for a while and said that the group of people in front should be the twelfth leader who came back from the hole scan, but they were not the real Manqidian, but Aha.
The Eight Banners Army is organized into staff leaders and assistant leaders. The staff leader is equivalent to the brigade, and the assistant leader is equivalent to the squadron.
In other words, the Manchurian soldiers in front are the 12th Squadron belonging to the 7th Manchurian Brigade with a red flag.
To be more precise, it should be a certain squadron of the 12th Squadron.
This team is not really full, but a Han Aha who was ordered to deliver the loot to the stronghold.
The civilian husbands were young men they captured from nearby, and they did not kill them all. After all, the Qing army also needed people to work for them.
Hearing that there were Tatars in front of him, Gou Sheng came over from behind, lay down next to Wang Wu and asked in a low voice: "Fifth brother, do you want to fight or not?"
Wang Wu looked at Kang Enbei: "You know what to do?"
"I know, I know!"
Kang Enbei nodded, and Wang Wu winked at Xu Lin, who immediately understood.
Then, Aha, who was taking a rest, discovered that a team came from behind, flying not the green flag, but the red flag of the ninth commander.
He was so swaggering that one could tell from his posture that it was the Manchu masters who had returned.
"Who do you belong to?"
Kang Enbei, who was walking in front, first drank twice in fluent Manchurian, and then switched to Chinese.
When the two Han Chinese Aha who were smoking and chatting behind the team heard the Manchu dialect, they were frightened and at a loss what to do, and instinctively bent down.
"I'm humbled to say hello to you, sir!"
The Qing army was led by a horse soldier named Bahada, whose surname was Liang.
After entering the customs, both Baoyi and Aha were proud of changing their Manchu names.
If a master has a discerning eye and recognizes people and gives him grace, he can even take the master's Manchu surname.
Seeing that it was the ninth leader leading Lord Yatu's team, Bahada didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly passed through the crowd and came to the back, "Ba Ba" and was about to hit him.
Before I could salute, I was slapped by the Manchurian soldier in front of me and scolded: "It's getting dark, what are you doing here if you don't go back!"
"Sir, I..."
The slapped Bahada felt infinitely wronged, but he did not dare to complain at all. He explained with a smile that they were ordered by Zuoling Naha to deliver food to Cizhulong. Because the road was far away and the mountain roads were difficult to walk, they rested here. Yes, I have no intention of being lazy.
Kang Enbei was moved in his heart and asked: "Where is your leader?"
"My lord, my assistant is in Baijiachi to clear out the Han bandits. He won't be back until tomorrow."
Due to the darkness and awe, Bahada did not dare to look at the ninth leader, and kept his head lowered as he spoke.
Kang Enbei said nothing and turned to look at Wang Wu behind the crowd.
Wang Wu nodded, and Kang Enbei stepped forward to push Bahada, and then led a group of "braided soldiers" from the ninth commander to rush towards the crowd like wolves and tigers.
Bajada thought that the people of the ninth leader were trying to steal their things, so he didn't dare to say no, so he just cursed a few times in his mind and followed them.
But his feet were clearly moving, so why did his body stay still in the same place?
In confusion, he looked back, but there was a flash of cold light, and then a red line suddenly appeared out of thin air on his fair neck.
As his eyes widened, the red line spurted out blood in an instant.
"big?"
Without even saying "human", Bahada was pushed aside casually by the "Manchurian soldiers" in front of him.
Ahead, the exclamations returned to calmness after a few moments.
On the ground, there were more than twenty Aha's who died without knowing what happened.
