When Jia Cong led his men back to the battlefield, the battle had already ended.
Wangcai is leading people to clean up the battlefield, and it's almost over.
When Zhang Dakui saw Jia Cong coming back, he came up to him and asked, "Third Master, have you caught up with those who ran away?"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Except for the six of them who surrendered, all the others were shot. What are the casualties here?"
Zhang Dakui said happily: "This time I caught the opponent off guard. In addition, the special team took action in time and blocked the opponent. They were unable to organize an effective counterattack and it was almost a one-sided fight.
We also have stainless steel armor to protect us. Even if the opponent cuts us, the armor cannot be broken. No one died in this battle, not even seriously injured. There were only about 20 minor injuries. Miss Han has already taken people to see it. Okay, nothing happened. "
Jia Cong is still very satisfied with this result. After all, he is wearing fine steel armor and the weapons are all high-quality weapons.
Moreover, they took advantage of the surprise attack, and the other party was harassed by the special forces and was in a state of panic.
The only regret is that I didn't really experience the shock of cavalry hedging.
Tiezhu and Wangcai came over together and saluted Jia Cong.
Wangcai said: "Third Master, the battlefield has been cleaned. This time, more than 90 people were killed. More than 70 prisoners surrendered, and more than ten were injured. The lightly injured were left behind, and the seriously injured were directly injured. Last hit.
The biggest harvest this time was the war horses. A total of more than 160 war horses were obtained, and more than ten of them were killed in the melee. "
Jia Cong smiled and said: "This can be considered a good start. Unexpectedly, just after arriving in Liaodong, the Wu family brothers gave us a big gift. Tiezhu, are there any casualties among the special forces members?"
Tie Zhu cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Third Master, there are no casualties among the special forces members. We are just harassing them with crossbows from a distance to prevent the horse bandits from approaching the war horses.
Also, those two grenades are a great deterrent. They are definitely a weapon on the battlefield. If there are enough grenades, no one will be our opponent on the battlefield. "
Jia Cong said solemnly: "You have also seen the power of grenades. If we encounter one day, what will be the result?"
Tie Zhu said: "This? If we encounter it, it will be very miserable, and we may even lose our lives."
Jia Cong said: "That's right. In order to avoid this situation, the grenade must be kept strictly confidential. Notify the special forces team members to keep it strictly confidential. Anyone who leaks the secret will be killed!"
In the next battle, grenades will be used as our trump card and life-saving trump card. We will not use them unless absolutely necessary, and we are not allowed to use them in front of outsiders to avoid being leaked.
Once it is leaked, someone will force us to hand it over. I think you all know what the virtues of Dachu officials are. Once it gets into their hands, no matter whether they are opponents or enemies, they can get it. "
Tie Zhu said: "Yes, Third Master, I will definitely tell you what you said and let them keep it a secret."
Zhang Dakui said: "It's a pity to have such a good thing. However, what the third master said is also very reasonable. Once it is made public, it will not do us any good."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I just said not to use it in joint operations with others. I didn't say not to use it when we are fighting alone. When it is really critical and our lives are endangered, even if we are fighting jointly, we still have to use what we need. .
If something like this really happens, then use up all the grenades you carry and leave none behind. Others can't see it even if they want to. If anyone asks, just say that they are thunderbolts bought at a high price from the south. "
This grenade Jia Cong is only intended to be used by special forces for ambushes, sneak attacks, reinforcements and other operations, and the quantity will be controlled. After the operation is over, the remaining grenades will be taken back to prevent them from flowing out.
Grenade is a thing that is used suddenly to catch the enemy by surprise. It is most effective at this time.
Once the opponent knows about it and takes precautions, it won't have much effect.
The attack distance of grenades is not as far as the shooting range of bows and arrows. With the suppression of bows and arrows, they cannot be thrown into the opponent's crowd at all.
It cannot be used in a melee between the two armies, as it is easy to accidentally injure one's own people.
Leave it to the special forces for use, and the effect will be better.
After passing the triggering device, Jia Cong had already communicated with Master Liao about the concept and general style of the grenade.
Let them focus on developing grenade launchers. Having a grenade launcher is equivalent to carrying a small steel cannon with you.
This thing is so light, a grenade weighs only a few kilograms, and each person can carry one without delaying the march.
It is easy to operate and powerful.
In this era, the grenade was a real weapon, with a range of about five hundred meters.
What kind of Mongolian cavalry would it be if they brought dozens of grenade launchers? What woman is really invincible? Several rounds of grenades passed and everything was over.
With the current technical conditions of Linhe Villa, there is no problem in making guns and cannons, but it is really impossible to make bullet casings.
But making grenades and grenades is no problem at all.
Once the grenade was launched, no one could match it on the battlefield.
Zhang Dakui said: "Third Master, we have harvested so many war horses this time. Our hundred personal guards can all form a cavalry team. These people have also practiced riding skills in the villa, and they are fully qualified to be cavalry."
Jia Cong had no objection to this suggestion. The advantage of cavalry on the battlefield was too great. It would be more beneficial to him to have more cavalry around him.
"Okay, Master Zhang will be responsible for this matter. Prioritize the selection of good horses to expand the cavalry team, and you will be responsible for commanding and training."
Zhang Dakui said: "Don't worry, Third Master, my subordinates will definitely train them into elite soldiers who dare to fight and fight hard, and protect Third Master's safety."
Jia Cong glanced at a few people and said: "This time we won the victory, the special forces team should take the lead, and each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. In addition, whoever kills one person in the battle will receive ten taels of silver, and whoever kills two will receive ten taels of silver." If you get 20 taels of silver, you can get 20 taels of silver, and so on.
After you make statistics on this matter, hand it over to Wangcai, who will be responsible for distributing it uniformly, letting the soldiers know that as long as they dare to fight and kill, they will be rewarded, and I will not treat them badly, Third Master. "
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this. They raised their hands together and said, "Thank you, Third Master. I will obey your orders."
Jia Cong continued: "There is another thing. The leader of this group of horse bandits is called Wang Shun, and I have captured him. I learned from him that not all of these horse bandits are there, and there are more than a hundred people left behind. In their lair.
We have captured these horse bandits, so we can't kill them all. I plan to recruit them, and we happen to be short of cavalry. These horse bandits are all proficient in riding skills, and their riding skills alone are better than ours.
Collect them, then go to their lair and collect the remaining more than 100 horse bandits. With these 300 horsemen, we will have the capital to roam the grasslands. What do you think? "
Wangcai said worriedly: "Third Master, can you trust these horse bandits? What if they rebel again?"
Tie Zhu also said: "Third Master, I also think these people are not trustworthy. There are not many good people who are horse bandits."
Zhang Dakui said: "I think Third Master's idea is good. These people may not be good people, but is that important? What we need is their combat power. Just let them fight for us. If they are really disobedient, we will use them up." ”
Jia Cong said: "It's impossible to make them loyal. They only join us to save their lives. We can use inducements to make some of them sincerely stay.
Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed without leaving any further trouble. "
Seeing what Jia Cong said, several people no longer objected.
After the news of the reward was passed on, the camp suddenly burst into cheers.
"Old Zhang, how many people did you kill this time?"
"It's not my luck. I killed just one, and everyone fucking surrendered. Xiao Li, how many did you kill?"
"Haha, I was lucky. I rushed to the front and killed two of them."
"You two are pretty good. I just slowed down a little, but then I rushed forward and there was no one left standing."
"Me too, I didn't grab any of them. I must rush to the front next time."
Those who had killed people all had smiles on their faces, and they were about to get their free money.
Those who didn't get killed sighed and regretted endlessly, and secretly swore that next time there was a battle, they would be at the forefront, kill more enemies, and earn more money.
The captives who surrendered could not help but be secretly surprised when they heard these people's comments.
They were given ten taels of silver for killing one person. This treatment was too good. It was much better than robbery. However, the heads of people like myself became other people's money, and I didn't know what to do with myself and others.
"A Tuft of Hair, what do you think they will do with us? Will they kill us?"
"It shouldn't be possible, right? If you want to kill, why don't you kill us earlier? I just don't know where it will take us?"
"These people are treated so well, it would be great to join them."
"It's hard to say. We have no freedom now and can only resign ourselves to fate."
······
The team returned to Black Mountain Village.
With nearly two hundred more horses and nearly one hundred people, the team looked even more majestic.
Wu Jinxiao looked at the huge team and felt a chill in his heart.
His little master was fine, but there were many more horse bandits tied up. Did he defeat the horse bandits and capture them alive?
After searching for a long time in the crowd, he didn't find his cousin.
I suddenly felt something bad in my heart. Could it be that the matter was exposed and my little master was killed?
When he looked up, he saw his little master in bright armor riding on a horse, looking at him with cold eyes. His heart suddenly felt cold, and the last trace of luck was gone.
With a "pop" sound, he knelt down in front of the horse.
"Third Master, have mercy on me. I was just confused for a moment and was bewitched by my cousin. This incident was all planned by my cousin. I didn't know his plan until he came to see me last night.
He didn't want to hand over the wealth he had obtained, so he hired a horse bandit to deal with you. At this time, even if I object, he will not listen to me. Please forgive me for the sake of the friendship between us for several generations. Let’s be small this time. "
Jia Cong said coldly: "Wuzhuangtou, I have given you brothers a chance, but you don't want it. You are greedy for money, crazy, and use slaves to devour your masters. It is a heinous crime.
If I don't kill you, how can I deal with those loyal subordinates?
Someone came and arrested Wu Jinxiao's family and took them to the square to wait for the verdict.
Tie Zhu, take people to Zhuangzi in Rong Mansion next door, capture Wu Jinxian's family and bring them to the square here. If there is resistance, kill them without mercy. "
"Yes, Third Master, I honor your order."
Tiezhu agreed and took people to Zhuangzi next door to arrest Wu Jinxian and his family.
Zhang Hu stepped forward and captured Wu Jinxiao, and then asked Wangcai to lead people to arrest Wu Jinxiao's family.
Half an hour later, the square was filled with people.
Pointing at Wu Jinxiao, who was kneeling in the center of the square, the two families of Wu Jinxian and Wu Jinxian started talking.
"What's going on? Why is Mr. Wu kneeling there?"
"What Master Wu? That's Wuzhuangtou. The real master is the young master above. The land we farm belongs to other people."
"In recent days, many people have been inquiring about the harvest situation in Zhuangzi. It is probably that Wuzhuangtou deceived the young master."
"Yeah, you asked me too, and asked me if there was any hail as big as a bowl last year."
"There has never been such a big hailstorm here, let alone last year or before."
"I understand. It may be that Wuzhuangtou deceived the young master, saying that the harvest was not good, and there was hail as big as a bowl, and the crops were destroyed, so the young master came to check on him."
Looking at the chaotic crowd below, Jia Cong shouted loudly: "Fellow folks, please be quiet, I have something to say."
When the people below heard the shouting, they slowly calmed down and looked at Jia Cong on the high platform.
Jia Cong glanced at the crowd below and said, "Everyone, I am your boss, and the land you cultivate belongs to me. These two brothers from the Wu family are the heads of our Ningrong Second Mansion. They help We manage this village.
These two people were greedy and greedy, and they used various excuses to embezzle rent every year, whether it was raining all year round, severe drought, or hailstorms as big as bowls.
The rent handed over to us every year is less than 30% of the tenant rent, but they themselves take more than 70%. This time I came to Liaodong with the caravan and checked it out to find out the truth.
Not only did these two people not know how to repent, they were afraid that I would recover the money they had embezzled. They bribed the horse bandits and tricked me into leaving Zhuangzi. They intercepted me on the way and killed me with the intention of killing me. Do you think they should kill me? "
"boom"
After listening to Jia Cong's words, the crowd below suddenly became excited.
"This old Wutou usually seems to be an honest person, but he didn't expect that he has such a dark heart, and he directly covets 70% of the owner Mo's family."
"Have you not heard? They also colluded with the horse bandits to harm their master. They are really crazy."
"Yes, such a master-devourer should really be killed."
"Deserves to be killed"
"Deserves to be killed"
"Deserves to be killed..."
Looking at the angry crowd below, Jia Cong smiled slightly in his heart. This was the effect he wanted.
Let everyone know their crimes and that they deserve what they deserve.
Jia Cong shouted: "Kill!"
A dozen guards stepped forward, raised the steel knives in their hands, and slashed hard.
