Chapter 7 Catching Dai Shan Alive
"So soo soo..."
A sharp roar continued to sound, and the six hundred karmintons hidden in the sorghum on the roadside launched an attack at the same time. The sharp crossbow arrows were intertwined like dense spider silks. The Jiannu cavalry riding on the horse and holding a torch became the best shooting target. There were no shooting dead spots at all. In just a short while, seventy or eighty Jiannu cavalry had already wailed and fell off the horse.
"There are assassins!"
"Protect your master!"
"Protect your master and rush forward!"
The remaining Jiannu cavalry quickly reacted and rode their horses in a circle to rush forward and rushed forward. Of course, Wang Pu would not let them do what they wanted. He immediately jumped up from the sorghum field, raised the sword in his hand forward and shouted: "Big Bearded Man, you bring two hundred brothers to attack the manor. The remaining brothers come with me. You must not let Jiannu run away, kill him!"
"Kill all Jiannu, no one will be left! Kill and kill!"
Six hundred clans rushed out of the sorghum field, like a group of hungry wolves pounced on the flock of sheep in the encirclement. However, the Jiannu cavalry in the circle was obviously not a lamb. Most of the Jiannu cavalry had been killed or injured in the raid just now. However, the remaining more than thirty cavalry were elites who had lived for the rest of their lives. Not only were they skilled in martial arts but also had extraordinary archery skills.
Before they got close, several servants had fallen under the arrows of the Jiannu cavalry.
After more than a dozen casualties, the servants finally rushed to the group of Jiannu cavalry. The two armies began to fight closely. Although the Jiannu cavalry was very skilled in martial arts, they could not defeat four hands after all. After half an hour of fierce fighting, the servants finally solved the remaining more than 30 cavalry Jiannu and captured Dai Shan alive.
Looking at the servants lying all over the floor, Wang Pu couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning in his heart.
The servants of six hundred people sneaked into more than a hundred cavalry Jiannu, and shot over 70 or 80 cavalry first, but in order to solve the problem of the last thirty cavalry Jiannu, dozens of casualties were paid!
[The early Eight Banners soldiers were not very strong in fighting due to their backward equipment, and their combat effectiveness was actually not very strong. However, in the late stage of Huang Taiji's rule, with the improvement of the equipment of the Eight Banners soldiers and the repeated victory in foreign wars, the Eight Banners soldiers had risen to a considerable level in terms of self-confidence and combat experience. At this time, the Eight Banners soldiers had entered their heyday, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, Wang Pu was cautious enough. If he led 600 Ding Minghuo to launch an attack from the beginning, it would inevitably turn into a head-on confrontation between the two armies. With the strong combat power of the Jiannu cavalry, the final victory or defeat is really hard to say. This is the most elite servant unit in the Ming army. If it is replaced by an ordinary Ming army, its combat power will be even less worth mentioning than that of the Jiannu cavalry.]
Two servants escorted Dai Shan to Wang Pu and asked, "General, have you killed this old slave?"
"Slow down." Wang Pu waved his hand to stop the two servants, then looked at Dai Shan leisurely for a moment, and said, "Looking at the clothes he was wearing, this guy should be the powerful among Jiannu, keep it first."
"Hmph." Dai Shan groaned and said in Chinese, "I will not change my surname or name, Prince Heshuo Li of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin Gioro. Dai Shan."
"Daishan? Are you Daishan!?" Wang Pu was stunned for a while, then laughed, "Hahaha, this is really God helping me."
Dai Shan frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at? Who are you?"
Wang Pu stopped laughing and replied, "I am Wang Pu, the general of Datong of the Ming Empire. At the order of Lord Hong, the commander of Ji Liao, to bring a brigade elite troops to attack your Jiannu's nest - Shengjing."
"Hmph, hahaha..." Dai Shan sneered first, then laughed, and said disdainfully for a long time, "Shengjing has 30,000 elite soldiers stationed in the Qing Dynasty. Just you, a group of mobs, want to stroke the tiger's beard? You are simply overestimating your own abilities. Boy, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."
"Haha, are you overestimating yourself? Your Highness, you will know immediately." After saying that, Wang Pu waved his hand and shouted, "Leave two hundred brothers to clean the battlefield, burn the brothers who died in battle and bring the ashes, and then add two knifes to each of these Jiannu, so as not to escape the net, and then peel off their robes and armor. The remaining brothers will send the injured brothers to the village for treatment."
At this moment, the bearded man had already entered the village with two hundred clans. The more than 300 Jiannu in the village were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were killed without any effort. The remaining more than 700 Aha were all Han people. Seeing that the Ming army had entered the village, they were already happy. The brave ones even picked up hoes and rushed out to help kill Jiannu.
In less than half an hour, the bearded man had completely controlled the entire manor. Even the dozen or so Jiannu children hiding in the cellar were searched by the excited Han Aha and dragged them to the yard to death. These Han Ahas have had enough of Jiannu's bullying. If they catch the opportunity, they will of course have to take revenge. Moreover, the revenge methods are not inferior to Jiannu at all.
Under the turmoil of the crowd, these Han people almost burned the entire manor.
In the end, Wang Pu had to come forward and weave a lie to appease these Han people who were out of control.
"Don't be excited, listen to me, I want to tell you a great news. Jiannu's army has been defeated by our Ming army at Songshan City. The 200,000 Jiannu's army was completely destroyed. The slave chief Huang Taiji was also killed in battle! Now the Ji Liao commander, Lord Hong Chengchou, has led 300,000 troops to Xiping Fort, and will soon kill Liaohe to attack Shengjing. You can go home soon, and you don't have to be a cattle or a horse for Jiannu..."
When the Han people in the yard heard this, they cheered.
It was not until the cheers in the yard gradually subsided that Wang Pu continued: "Our army's mission is to deceive the gate of Shengjing to clear obstacles for the subsequent army's attack, so the action must be hidden. Please calm down and stay here for a few more days. Never go out privately. If our army's whereabouts are revealed, so the Jiannu in Shengjing is prepared in advance, then you will become the sinners of the Ming Dynasty."
Someone in the crowd responded: "Don't worry, General, we will do our best to cooperate with the actions of the imperial army."
"That's good." Wang Pu nodded, "Now please return to your own residence and cook some more meals. Our soldiers have not eaten hot rice for several days. If you have any medical skills, please come out and help bandage our injured soldiers."
"I understand some medical skills." As soon as Wang Pu finished speaking, a strong old man came out with a young man and walked up to Wang Pu and said, "General, I have been hanging my pot for decades, and I can be considered a master of medical skills. If the general can trust me, let me see your soldiers. If it is just an ordinary knife wound and arrow sore, it will be difficult for me."
"This is really great." Wang Pu said overjoyed, "What do you call the old man?"
"Old Li Changfu." The old man said as he pulled the young man beside him and said, "This is my grandson Li Bao. The general told him that the little leopard, and the little leopard should pay homage to the general."
The young man knelt down on the ground and worshiped: "Little leopard greets the general."
"Oh, I don't dare to take it." Wang Pu hurriedly stepped forward and helped the little leopard up, then turned around and ordered the bearded man, "Big bearded man, take this old Mr. Li to see the injured brother."
