The power of the wolf spear is extremely powerful, and the shadow it casts on the mountain people is also huge, because there is a sharp spearhead hidden in the large group of bamboo branches, and it will hit you to the core if you are not careful. The bamboo branches are also full of barbs. The body may be covered with bloodstains at first after being pricked, but after a few days, the mountain residents realized that something was wrong. The wound will begin to become red, swollen, and then fester, and it is difficult to suppress the body's tendency to fester even with the use of herbal medicine. Many people begin to feel feverish and dizzy, and it is worse than death.
The mountain people had heard that the equipment of the people down the mountain was worse than theirs, and many of them even used farm tools such as hoes and rakes. Their spears were also made of bamboo. But when I saw it with my own eyes today, I just wanted to curse. Where are the farm tools here? It is clearly a tool for black and white to seduce the soul! They used iron spearheads, real iron swords, and even their shields were standard and high-quality. If the clothes they were wearing were not the tattered linen clothes of the villagers, they would even think that these were villagers disguised by the government. Wait here to hunt them down!
The mountain people scattered behind to cover the retreat of the mountain people charging in front. Liang Chuan ordered that each team was not allowed to pursue. The team members stopped one after another when they reached the mouth of the trap, because there was only a trail that could accommodate one or two people to pass the trap, and they were all in one group. They are all at least ten people. If you squeeze in, the team will be deformed and problems will definitely occur.
The battle lasted until dawn. The trap at the entrance of the village was filled with countless corpses. There were also many dead people outside the trap. The mountain people shot arrows at the team members frantically, with many arrow feathers stuck on their shields. , the battle was not completely over until the mountain people completely retreated to the mountain.
The team members took stock of the battlefield. The victory was an overwhelming victory, but no one was happy because some team members died in this battle.
The sun in the east rose slowly with a bloody color, reflecting on the faces of the team members. There was no clean face to be found. The trap at the entrance of the village is full of dead bodies. It used to be a trap, but now it has become a corpse pit. If it were summer, it wouldn't take two days for these corpses to cause a plague.
Everyone was in no mood to care about the bodies of these mountain people, because they had to take care of the funerals of their brothers first. In this battle, six people died in He Lu and four in Shanshui Village. The most people died in the company. Because the mountain people were shooting with arrows, their people were the largest and densest, and the most people died. Nearly ten people died. . It is equivalent to the members of the two teams saying goodbye to everyone forever.
After receiving the news, the families of the sacrificed team members came one after another. They lay on the bodies of their children and grandchildren, and their cries shook the earth. Liang Chuan saw this scene, as if a sharp tip pierced his heart. He was already prepared today. And after the war, the casualties were so tragic. If they were unprepared, wouldn't every family be in trouble? .
Children are always the hope of a family. These are the good young men of the three villages. Yesterday they were lively heroes, but today they have turned into a cold corpse. Liang Chuan overestimated the combat effectiveness of these peasant armies. In just a few days of training, although the combat effectiveness was much better than the unstructured charge of the mountain people, the casualties in the battle were still very high.
"Fugui, Jinshan, gather the team members, we are going to hold a memorial service."
Memorial service? The captains of the two squadrons were stunned and didn't know what this meant. Liang Chuan looked at it and couldn't explain it for a while, so he said: "Call everyone over here!"
The team members were no longer in the mood to count how many people had been killed today. Those who died were all his brothers and relatives, or playmates who grew up with him and wore the same pants. Looking at their corpses, who knows how long this battle will last, and who knows how many more people will die in the future. These dogs and sons of mountain people really come to the village to kill people with knives in the dark and windy night.
Li Chuyi walked to the edge of Liangchuan unknowingly. He did not expect that so many people would die in this well-prepared battle. Liang Chuan glanced at him and asked, "Brother Li, if your soldiers are killed in battle, how much pension will the court pay you?"
Li Chuyi said coldly: "Thirty strands of disability, fifty strands of horse leather."
Liang Chuan announced loudly to all the team members: "Today is the saddest day since the establishment of our adult management brigade, because today we lost twenty good brothers. It was their sacrifices that brought the peace of our three villages." An Ning, I will personally give each family member fifty guan as a pension in my own name."
He Baozheng stood up and said: "Sanlang, it is everyone's responsibility to defend our homeland. Deaths and injuries are inevitable, but this money is yours. The villagers have received enough kindness from you. This money..."
"Yes, captain, we are voluntary, and we all have to do our part. You have taken enough care of us, and we can't let you spend any more money."
Liang Chuan sighed and slowly closed his eyes. There was no way he could take back the decision he made. He resolutely asked the corps commanders to receive their pensions and go back to comfort their families. He is no longer here, and without a strong laborer, the family will be very difficult. Without this money, life will not be easy in the short term. Better off.
After the memorial service was held, Liang Chuan asked the team members to collect the bodies of these mountain people. After counting, there were more than 160 corpses. Except for the more than 70 people killed, most of the others died in traps. These corpses were of great use to Liang Chuan, so he gave them to Cao Qiansong. I wonder if he would be rewarded.
Cao Qiansong was waiting in the city. After waiting all night, he was surprised that not even half of the mountain people came. At noon the next day, he heard someone from He Lu coming to deliver a message, saying that yesterday the mountain people attacked the north bank in a large scale, and He Lu was killed and injured. More than ten people, but more than 160 bandits were killed!
Cao Qiansong poked his ears, thinking that he had heard something wrong. He killed more than 160 mountain people. How many mountain people were there on the mountain? Add in the more than 70 people killed by high officials. How many mountain people could be left? ? This is great news. He ordered people to take Zhao Xiaopin out of prison. It seemed that he was really innocent. Moreover, Liang Chuan had made such a big contribution to him, so he should return this Zhao Xiaopin to him first. As for other rewards, that would have to wait for the court.
Zhao Xiaopin crossed the river with the officers and soldiers going to Helu. The officers and soldiers went to move the corpses of the mountain people. They had to be verified. Many officers and soldiers would use this trick to kill the good and take credit for their merits during the war. Without careful inspection, Qiu Hou Settling accounts can be fatal.
Cao Qiansong asked the director of household registration and post office in Xinghua. Most of the mountain residents did not have household registration, but the number of Xinghua mountain residents was not large, at least more than 500, and at most not more than 1,000. , the mountains cannot support such a large population. On a head-to-head basis, after these two battles, the mountain people have been severely weakened. If they are hit hard again, they will not be able to make any waves. This time he gained a lot, and he finally had something to report to Zhao Weixian, and Bianjing also had an explanation.
The only shortcoming is that he is a great general who originally wanted to make great achievements, but now he can only hide in this small county. Killing enemies and thieves actually depends on a few farmers. This has spread to the ears of the old Cao family in Bianjing. , the ancestors had to jump up from the coffin and scold him severely!
In fact, Cao Qiansong himself underestimated Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan trained these adult soldiers using military training methods that were a thousand years advanced. Even the army defeated the Japanese slaves five hundred years later and the Mandarin Duck Formation of Mongolia in the north. They could play at the same time. The mountain people who have served these two armies should not have been born yet.
The court's regulations were to report the progress of quelling the chaos on time, so Zhao Weixian bit the bullet and reported the situation after the first defeat to Bianjing immediately. The shock was no less than a major earthquake. At the beginning, Lu Yijian made the final decision that Zhao Weixian was not trying to support the troops indiscriminately and to respect himself. The death and injury of more than 200 officers and soldiers completely proved that this was indeed a rebellion and not an artificial conspiracy. The Privy Council has ordered Fuzhou to mobilize troops to Xinghua as soon as possible. They must eradicate the roots before the mountain people become bigger!
After Zhao Xiaopin was released, he went straight to Liang Chuan's home. Liang Chuan asked him about the cause and effect of the matter. This is a good result that can only be obtained by sowing good causes. There is God's will in the dark. Zhao Xiaopin thought for a while and said: "I'd better go back to the mountain. Firstly, I can find out more information. Secondly, I am a small person anyway. No one will notice me. On the contrary, they have just suffered a defeat, and I am just right." Without me, they will doubt me even more."
Liang Chuan is a sensible person, and everything Zhao Xiaopin said makes sense, but there is a tiger's den on the mountain. If something goes wrong if you go deep into the tiger's den, your head will be disfigured. Zhao Xiaopin said with emotion: "When I was in trouble, only you, my boss, helped me. Now I help you to repay the debt I owe!"
Without further ado, Zhao Xiaopin took another long trip. First he returned to Xinghua and bought a lot of daily necessities. He pretended to go down the mountain to buy things, and then walked up the mountain along the path of Xiayuan. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped on Youyang, he was caught. People were all tied up.
Zhao Xiaopin watched the mountain people being rough with him and thought that it was over. He was going to die anyway, so he didn't think much about it. His heart was filled with awe and awe-inspiring expression.
Lin Ju Linyi has also placed many eyes and ears in Xinghua City, but it is more difficult to spread the news. They were still wondering how the farmers in He Lu were prepared to wait like them and make them suffer heavy losses. News came from the informants in the city that on the day they went down the mountain, a mountain man secretly ran down the mountain to report the news and was caught by the government.
They immediately plowed the fields of each household and checked them. Everyone knew each of the mountain residents, but the Luocheng master who built the stove in Xiaoxiao's home was missing. How could it be that he went down the mountain to buy things for two days? He was still injured. He clearly went to report something and was arrested. It was indeed true!
Zhao Xiaopin was brought to the two heads of the family, Lin Ju and Lin Yi. Dayi raised his head and said, "If you want to kill me, please chop me up quickly. Come on!" Lin Yi was about to explode because of the many casualties and injuries, but when he saw Zhao Xiaopin's appearance Adding fuel to the fire, he jumped up from his seat, slapped Zhao Xiaopin hard, and then pulled out the other person's waist knife: "I'll chop you alive!"
