Chapter 75 Unbelievable(1/2)
(0075)
[Today's third update is here~~~ Please collect it, please recommend it~~~]
Those quasi-tartars who do evil are tied together by ropes, tied into a string, and lined up into a human wall. The soldiers of the guard hid behind and pushed them forward slowly. The gaps between the human wall were made up with earth shields. The muzzle team followed behind the human wall, with the muzzle on the shoulders of their companions in front, and could be fired at any time.
"superior!"
Zhang Zhun shouted coldly.
Zhang Zhun had no sympathy for the deaths of these quasi-Tartars.
Anyone who works for the Tartars should die no matter who they are!
The soldiers of the escort team pushed the wall and moved forward slowly.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Three arrows roared over.
Three blood arrows suddenly burst out from the human wall in front of him.
The three quasi-tartars were immediately over.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Three more arrows flew over.
Another three quasi-Tartars died untimely.
The Tartar archers were indeed fierce, and the arrowheads were accurate and fierce. They kept firing arrows and shot all the quasi-Tartars in front to death. From time to time, there were sharp arrowheads flying over the scalp of the guard soldiers. However, the quasi-Tartar soldiers behind were prepared and pushed the bodies of the quasi-Tartars in front of them to continue to move forward. Due to the angle, the Tartar archers could not shoot.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
The Tartar archers were anxious and angry, and the speed of shooting arrows became even more intense.
"Puff puff puff!"
Arrows kept falling on the quasi-Tartar corpse in front.
The wall in front of him seemed like a hedgehog, and his body was filled with arrows.
The target of the Tartar archers is actually the guard soldiers. However, in the dark, the Tartar archers cannot fully aim at the guard soldiers. Their eyesight has not reached the level of dark vision. They can only see shadows, but they cannot tell which figure is alive and which figure is dead. Moreover, the gap between the human walls is too small. As a result, the guard soldiers slowly approach the Tartars.
Yang Qianqiang and others rushed to lift the wounded down and treated him on the spot.
The airtight wall of people continues to move forward.
"shooting!"
Yang Zixuan saw that the distance was about the same and immediately ordered the shooting.
"Bang bang bang!"
Thirteen muskets were fired one after another.
The smoke filled the sky, the sound was loud and the smell of gunpowder was choking.
Because the light was not very good, Zhang Zhun could not see whether the Tartars were hit. However, when the gunshots, the Tartars' arrows were obviously paused, and someone should have been hit by a musket. Or, the Tartar archers had to avoid the musket attack.
In fact, the Tatars were also quite afraid of the Ming army's firearms, just as the Ming army was afraid of the Tatars' cavalry and shooting. The boss of the Tatars was killed by the Ming army's artillery, and they had to take it as a warning. The Ming army's firearms on the Liaodong front were not bad at all, but the lack was the courage to fight actively and the shrewd and decisive command, which led to a great defeat.
"Recharge!"
"Let it go again!"
Yang Zixuan shouted calmly.
The musket team immediately put down the musket and recharged the medicine.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
The Tartar archers shot out fierce arrows again.
Their arrowheads were still shot on the wall of people in front, and they did not have much effect.
Occasionally, some guards were shot and injured. Someone immediately took their place behind them and continued to push the airtight human wall forward. The Tartars on Fukushima had no horses and no room to retreat, so they could only passively watch the human wall getting closer and closer and closer.
"shooting!"
About a minute later, Yang Zixuan's musket team finished reloading.
"Bang bang bang!"
Thirteen muskets fired again.
The Tartars' bows and arrows were immediately restrained.
It took a while before the Tartars shot again, but the arrowheads became significantly weaker.
There must be some casualties among the Tartars.
"Recharge!"
"shooting!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Yang Zixuan issued a password in an orderly manner.
The musket team revolves, shoots, loads, shoots...
"Bang bang bang!"
The gunshots continued to sound.
The smell of gunpowder on the battlefield is getting stronger and stronger.
The counterattack of the Tartar archers became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
The human wall continues to move forward slowly.
Finally, the human wall completely entered the cave entrance.
The Tartars no longer responded.
"ignition."
Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.
Several torches were lit up, illuminating everything in the cave.
The five Tartars were all killed by muskets, and their bodies fell in all corners of the cave, and blood stained the entire cave red. No matter how powerful they were, they were still flesh and blood, and they could not stop the musket shooting. Moreover, there were three powerful Lumi guns.
"All dead." After Li Jiaxi inspected each body, he reported it to Zhang Zhun.
"Cut off the head and take it back to Maojiatun!" Zhang Zhun said coldly.
After a pause, Zhang Zhun said to Yang Junjie and Yang Hongwen again: "Carely search the surroundings, all kinds of weapons and equipment, gold, silver, jewelry, and parchment documents were sealed together."
Yang Junjie and Yang Hongwen agreed to go.
After some search, I gained a lot.
"A rough statistics show that three pairs of bows and arrows were seized, 32 arrowheads were used, five special scimitars for Tartars, sixty-seven ordinary steel knives, and twenty-six standard waist knives..."
Yang Hongwen reported.
The scimitars and bows carried by the five Tartars naturally became the trophy of the guards. Although the Tartars' bows and arrows were not exquisite enough, they were very lethal. When they were full of strings, they could shoot a distance of 150 meters, and their power was no less than that of the Lumi gun. The weapons carried by other quasi-Tartars were of good quality. Although some weapons were not used, the second-line guards could be equipped.
"In addition, there are some silver and wild ginseng..."
Yang Hongwen continued to report.
From the battlefield, the guards found about 300 taels of silver and five heavy gold ingots, each of which may have a dozen taels of weight. To be honest, gold ingots were still rare. At that time, gold was too valuable and not a royal noble or a wealthy family would not own it. Even wealthy merchants, Hui merchants, and Zhejiang merchants rarely used gold.
Only when gold is produced in Liaodong and the Later Jin nobles own a large amount of gold will be cast into gold ingots and circulating and using. In fact, it is not necessarily correct to say that circulating and using gold ingots is only used by the senior officials of the Later Jin nobles in some special channels. In general commercial activities, gold leaves, golden beans, and golden turtles in martial arts novels are just fictions of later generations.
It seems that these Tartars have a close relationship with Amin, and they can even get gold ingots. If Shu Bulu had such gold ingots in his hand, Zhang Zhun would not mind taking over it and using it. When he took down Aoshanwei in the future, he would definitely turn Tian Hengdao to the bottom.
However, the biggest capture of this battle was not gold and silver, but a large bag of thousand-year-old wild ginseng, with more than 30 pieces. Changbai Mountain has always produced ginseng, and the Central Plains ginseng mainly comes from here. Since the rise of the Later Jin Tartars, they monopolized the trade of wild ginseng. Thousand-year-old wild ginseng in the mainland of the Central Plains has been extremely short of stock and the price is getting more and more expensive. There are so many wild ginseng in the hands of these Tartars, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations. If more than 30 wild ginseng are sold in Jiangnan, they can be sold at least 50,000 taels of silver.
"Captain, we found these."
Li Jiaxi came over with a few pieces of parchment paper.
Zhang Zhun looked carefully and found that there were many words written on the parchment paper, which seemed to be in traditional Chinese characters, but they didn't look very similar. He looked left and right and found that he really couldn't understand it. He showed the parchment to the rest of the guards, and everyone said he couldn't understand it.
"Take it back first."
Zhang Zhun ordered.
Then, everyone started to work together and found a place to bury the dead bodies. If so many corpses were thrown into the sea, they would definitely pollute the waters. There happened to be a cliff next to them, so everyone threw the bodies under the cliff and covered them with soil.
When all this was done, it was already morning and it was dawn. I didn’t think there was anything to see when I saw Fukushima last night, and the mudflat was even more scared. When I saw Fukushima during the day, I realized that it was actually very beautiful. Except for that mudflat, the other beaches were all snow-white. I can only say that they had bad luck last night, and they happened to be docked at the mudflat.
"Go back!"
Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said.
Everyone packed up their things, carried the bodies of the wounded and the sacrificed soldiers, burned the thatched hut on the island with a fire, and then returned on a sampan. Because it was daytime, no one needed to transfer the pirate ship, so they returned from Fukushima to Maojiatun directly.
The elders and fellow villagers of Maojiatun were waiting on the shore. Seeing the guards returning triumphantly, they cheered and cheered. Liu Hang, Wang Mingyu and others were also very happy and came up to ask about the situation of the battle. Zhang Zhun briefly introduced the battle last night, and both of them were deeply impressed.
The heads of the five Tartars were soon displayed in front of the villagers. Together with the Tartars slaughtered before, there were thirteen Tartars in total. After the establishment of the guards, they slaughtered thirteen Tartars and hundreds of quasi-Tartars in the first battle. Such a result is glorious. Even if it is not the last, it is definitely unprecedented.
