ps: Thanks to book friend Jiang Mingyue for the tip.
"Yingzheng, Captain Chen is here." Zhao Wu's guard ran over excitedly.
Hearing this, Zhao Wu turned around.
I saw a group of soldiers and horses coming from the rear, with more than a dozen cannons in the group.
"It came in time." Zhao Wu glanced at the artillery team captain who had just arrived and the dozen guns the other party had brought.
Soon, Captain Chen of the artillery team came to Zhao Wu.
He first raised his hand and saluted Zhao Wu, and then said: "The camp is in charge, four cannons are left in Qingniwa Fort, and the other cannon subordinates have brought them over."
"Just come." Zhao Wu nodded towards the other party.
Although they are used a lot to fight slave thieves, these cannons can be used on the South Guam Fort.
Captain Chen of the artillery team turned his head and glanced down the hillside, and said curiously: "Ying Zheng, have we encountered the enemy?"
"Well, when I came here, I encountered slave soldiers attacking Nanguan Island, so I intervened. Now our people are clearing out the remaining enemies. The cannons you brought will come in handy soon," Zhao Wu said. .
Captain Chen of the artillery team stood at attention and said: "Don't worry, Ying Zheng, our artillery team is ready to fight at any time."
"I believe in your artillery team." Zhao Wu nodded and then said, "Okay, you have just arrived. You have worked hard all the way. Find a place to rest by yourself first."
After saying that, he picked up the monocular and continued to focus on the battle down the hillside.
"Should we rest?" Captain Chen of the artillery team on the side said, "Yingzheng, our artillery team does not need to rest. We are needed more on the battlefield below."
After hearing this, Zhao Wu took away the monocular telescope in front of him, looked back at him and asked: "Is your artillery team also going to the battlefield?"
"Hey, Ying Zheng, it would be a pity if our artillery team missed such a good opportunity." Captain Chen of the artillery team said in a flattering manner, gnashing his big yellow teeth.
Zhao Wu waved his hand and said: "Don't do this. What are your artillery teams going to do at this time? Are the artillerymen used as infantry? I don't have that luxury. If there are more artillery, I can serve as infantry."
"This is to kill slave soldiers. If you have such a good opportunity to camp, please let our artillery team go!" Captain Chen of the artillery team saw that he couldn't please him, so he begged.
Zhao Wu shook his head and said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense with me here. Take the time to rest. Your artillery team will be indispensable when we attack Nanguan Island."
Again rejected the artillery team's request to fight.
"yes."
Captain Chen of the artillery team saw that the artillery team had no chance to interfere in the current battle with the slave thieves, so he had to obey the order.
"Oh, by the way." Zhao Wu turned around and waved to him.
Captain Chen of the artillery team who was about to leave hurriedly came up and said: "Ying Zheng, do you agree with our artillery team to kill the slave soldiers?"
"I don't agree." Zhao Wu's face darkened, and he immediately said, "Remember to eat something, so that you don't have any strength when your artillery team is used later."
Zhao Wu stood up straight and said: "Please rest assured, Ying Zheng, all the subordinates and artillery team members can kill several of his slaves even if they don't eat for a day."
"Stop talking nonsense and take the people to find a place to rest." Zhao Wuyang pretended to be impatient and began to coax people.
Captain Chen of the artillery team smiled and returned to the artillery team.
The battle down the hillside was drawing to a close.
All the soldiers and horses of the slave thieves who could escape escaped, and those who could not escape were either captured or killed, leaving only the final cleaning of the battlefield.
"The camp is up, the Ming army from Nanguandao Fort has sent people." A soldier quickly came to Zhao Wu to report.
After hearing this, Zhao Wu was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "The Ming army from Nanguandao Fort sent people here? Don't they think of me as their reinforcements?"
He made a casual guess.
The three parties on the battlefield can be said to be opponents of each other. Even if the defender of Nanguandao Fort is stupid, it is impossible to think that their troops with the Tiger Flag have become the reinforcements of Nanguandao Fort.
"Bring people here!" Zhao Wu decided to meet the people sent by Nanguandao Fort.
If the defender of Nanguandao Fort really misunderstood, there might not be a need to attack Nanguandao Fort and it could be captured through other methods.
Soon, the people sent from Nanguan Island were brought to Zhao Wu.
"Little Niu Er, see the general." The visitor knelt down on one knee and saluted Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu glanced at the guard of Nanguan Island Fort who called himself Niu Er.
His attire was no different from the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers he had seen on the islands in the past, except that he had a waist knife on his waist. It could be seen that Niu Er should have some status among the officers and soldiers guarding Nanguandao Fort.
Ordinary officers and soldiers are not qualified to wear waist knives. After all, a knife requires a lot of money, which is not something that ordinary officers and soldiers can consume.
"Get up!" After looking at Niu Er, Zhao Wu motioned for him to get up.
"Thank you, General." Niu Er stood up.
Zhao Wu looked at him and said, "You came to see me, but what did you bring?"
"General, my general has sent a young man here to congratulate the general on his victory over Nahai in Jinzhou City, and to invite the general to enter the fort. My general has prepared a banquet in the fort, specifically for the general's great victory. Congratulations." Niu Er stated the purpose of his coming here in one word.
After hearing this, Zhao Wu immediately understood that the guard of Nanguandao Fort had really mistaken him for reinforcements from the Ming army.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wu looked at the visitor with a smile and said, "Do you really want to thank me?"
"The general defeated the slave soldiers who attacked Nanguandao Fort and relieved the siege of Nanguandao Fort. Naturally, I would like to thank you, general." Niu Twenty-score said respectfully.
Zhao Wu nodded lightly and said: "According to what you said, you should really thank me. If I hadn't appeared in time to repel the slave soldiers, I'm afraid the South Guandao Fort would have been lost by now."
"That's what the general said." Niu Er agreed from the side, and then said, "General, please follow me back to the castle first. Our general has prepared a banquet."
Zhao Wu thought for a while and said: "You go back first, and I will be over soon after I clean up the mess here."
"Yes, the young one will leave first." Niu Er bowed and turned to leave.
As soon as they left, Wang Ju came back with the prisoners in custody.
"Bring the prisoners over there and keep them alone." Wang Ju pointed to an open space in the distance, and he himself came to Zhao Wu.
"Is it over?" Zhao Wu asked Wang Ju.
Wang Ju nodded and said: "It's almost over. There aren't many slaves left. We've sent a team to pursue them."
"Don't chase too far, we are not familiar with the terrain here yet." Zhao Wu reminded.
Wang Ju said: "Don't worry, Ying Zheng. I have already explained it. It's a pity that the slave thieves' cavalry was allowed to run away, otherwise many horses could be captured."
"There is nothing we can do about it. We did not bring cavalry with us this time, and the terrain is unfamiliar, so it will be difficult to stop the enemy cavalry who are escaping." Zhao Wu said.
He also wanted to capture the war horse.
The Tiger Flag has no shortage of horses, but their team in Liaodong lacks war horses, and the few war horses raised in Jeju Island are simply not enough.
