Chapter 47 Battlefield
. "It's all cut."
In just a few words, the fate of these prisoners was determined. The two messengers were filled with joy and replied: "Yes!"
Among these prisoners, there were two Beizi and important officials of the Tartars. Perhaps they could have greater benefits if they were kept. However, facing such huge casualties in the first battle between the Yulin Guards, Wang Fu ordered them to be executed without thinking. That is, to comfort the sacrificed Yulin Guards, and to avenge the millions of people in the Ming Dynasty who had been killed by the Tartars for years. If one life was to pay one life, all the Tartars died ten times would not be enough to repay the crimes they committed against the Han people.
"Slowly, come back."
When the two messengers were about to go down to convey the emperor's will, Wang Fu suddenly called them. They thought the emperor had to change their minds, so they had to turn around again: "What are the emperor's orders?"
"First bake and ask questions. After the bake and ask a Tartar to break his tendons and ask him to go back and tell Duoduo that the Ming Emperor had an order to ask Duoduo to wash his neck and wait for death."
"Yes!" The two messengers answered louder.
Gong Aday, Xihan and other Qing troops knelt on the side in dejected manner. They looked at the corpses of the elite Zhenglan Banners around them and were secretly frightened. Zhenglan Banners were over. Although only more than 400 people died, the generals from Gushan Ezhen to Zuomei Ezhen, Jia La Ezhen and other generals were almost beaten up in one go.
Gong Aday, Xihan and others were blocked in the room by the Ming Ming army. They were not captured until the war ended. Seeing that Haoge and He Luo would fall with those Goshha, more than 20 generals of all sizes did not dare to go beyond the line. Apart from them, the Ming army only captured some sporadic prisoners.
Gong Aday and Xihan lived under the wings of their parents since childhood. Even if they went to the battlefield, Goshha would protect both sides and often win easily. They had never been in such a situation as today, especially Haoge and He Luohui were shot and killed by the Ming army with unknown weapons, which made them very scared. They ordered others to be captured with them, and they answered questions and answered questions about the Ming army, for fear that the Ming army would kill them when they were angry.
Who said that the army is like a pig or a dog, and can be killed at will. They just came out with Prince Su to grab something, and how could they meet the Ming army in the brigade? If they had known this, they would not have come out no matter what. At present, they only hope that the Ming army could let them go back for their honesty, even if they had to pay a huge ransom, they would be willing.
Two fast horses came from behind. Every time the sound of hooves was like stepping on the hearts of the two people. Soon their fate would make a decision. The two horses ran a few steps away from Sun Kexian before stopping: "Report to the general. The emperor has an order. These prisoners only need to leave a message and cut the rest."
"Give me your life! You're lucky! I'm the Qing Dynasty's Beile. I can give you a large sum of gold and silver to redeem it." Gong Adays fell apart when he heard it. Xihan shouted loudly. In the past, when they caught Ming army or Han people and wanted to execute them, they begged for mercy and looked down on these people. They even felt a sense of pleasure in playing with mice. Unexpectedly, it would not be much better today.
"Bah! It's really a shame to the descendants of Aisin Jueluo of the Qing Dynasty." A Qing general with a bearded and savage look like a savage in the direction of Gong Adayai Xihan. If these two people hadn't insisted on surrendering, even if they died in battle, it would be better than their current situation.
"Catch it!" Sun Ke said coldly in his mouth.
Dozens of ghost-headed knives were raised at the same time. "Pu, the sound came. Gong Aday, Xihan and others rolled to the side. Their eyes were wide open, as if they didn't believe they would die like this. Only one Qing army with a little tender face stayed. He saw with his own eyes so many big people died in front of him. The Qing army with only the Geshiha had a face as if they were earthy.
"Pick up the broken tendons and give him a horse. Let him convey the emperor's will. The rest of the people clean the battlefield."
"yes."
The Qing army was quickly dealt with as he said. When the tendons were broken, the Goshha burst into tears. But he insisted that he did not faint, and his eyes were full of hatred. Several Ming army who were fighting did not care at all and helped him up behind the horse. He slapped the horse hard, and the horse carried the Qing army to the distance. As for the tendons to break, how to control the horse, will something happen on the road? That's the Qing army's own business.
It was just dawn and the thick fog outside had not yet dissipated. The villagers of Matouzhuang were still immersed in their dreams. This place was less than twenty miles away from Niujia Village and belonged to Huai'an. However, perhaps because of good luck, perhaps a little far from the canal, Matouzhuang was not harassed by the Qing army.
Matou Village is not big, with only about 200 households. There are two nameless hills on the left and right of the village. These two mountains seem to be two gates guarded by Matou Village. The mountain is not high and there are no trees. There are only some short bushes. There are many slopes opened by villagers at the foot of the mountain. The hilltops are only a few dozen acres in size. Because the land is a bit poor and cannot be sent to water, the villagers let it waste and usually provide some cattle-grabbing kids to play.
A rapid sound of horse hooves broke the silence in the early morning. Ten cavalrymen with large white furs and white feathers on their heads emerged from the thick fog. They divided into two teams and climbed directly onto two hills and looked around, but their eyes were blocked by the fine fog. The knights on both sides frowned. Fortunately, the fog slowly dissipated, revealing the outline of the entire landform.
There are large flat land in front and behind the two hills, and the flat land is divided into cages and cages, which are clearly large farmland. However, because the crops have been harvested and the farmland has dried up. Behind are villages with more than 200 houses, the terrain of the village is obviously much higher than the surrounding terrain. There is also a forest of dozens of acres on the side of the village.
The entire village is a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only regret is that the village is too small to accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, it is a good place to use it as a commander and pile up materials, and these two hills can be installed.
The two knights on the hill looked at each other from a distance, nodded to each other, rushed down the mountain, and disappeared in a short while. Although some people in Matouzhuang seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves, they thought it was their own hallucination, and their heads sank and fell asleep again.
Half an hour later, the entire Matouzhuang was already full of people shouting and neighing. Teams of knights in bright military uniforms drove into this small village. Even the people who slept the most well in Matouzhuang were awakened. Their first reaction was to close the door tightly, then climb up the wall with a ladder, stretched their heads out of the wall, and looked at the knights entering the village in surprise.
The village chief of Matouzhuang is not surnamed Ma, but Sun, and his name is Sun Wancai. In fact, there are not many people in Matou Village, and most of them have surnamed Sun. Regarding the origin of the name of Matouzhuang, it is said that a general led his troops to pass by here during the Taizu of this dynasty. He saw two nameless hills outside, and he casually said like two horses protruding his head. Although the villagers could not see that these two hills were similar to Matou, they changed the original Sunjiazhuang to Matouzhuang. When someone asked about it, they proudly told this past, and the two nameless hills were also called Matou Mountain.
At this time, Sun Wancai opened the door tremblingly, looked at the two officers and soldiers riding on the tall horse and said, "I don't know where the official came from, and what kind of support do you have, just give me an order."
"Well, the imperial court temporarily requisitioned your house. In addition, you summon the villagers, clean up the fine and soft things, and give up half of the house in the middle. If you have relatives, you can also invest in relatives. If you have no relatives, you can temporarily squeeze in other families. If you are willing to give up the house, the court can subsidize ten taels of silver."
Matou Village is not richer than Niujia Village. Sun Wancai, the village chief, only has two yards of houses. When it was built, it cost about 100 taels of silver. As for the other villagers, most of them were only worth 20 to 30 taels of silver. The compensation for ten taels of silver was already a lot. When did the officers and soldiers be so easy to talk to? Since there is compensation for the expropriation of the house?
"This official, I wonder how long the army will be stationed here?" Sun Wancai asked with a tough bullet.
"It's hard to say. Maybe in the past ten days or in a few months, this place will soon become a battlefield. After the war, the army will naturally leave."
"War?" Sun Wancai almost turned dark. He was honest all his life, and what he feared the most was war: "This... this old man immediately notified other villagers."
Not to mention the soldiers of the Yulin Guard persuaded the villagers of Matouzhuang to move away. At this time, Wang Fu was standing on the mountain outside the entrance of the village with a group of generals. From here, the terrain of dozens of miles was visible. Teams of Yulin Guards were driving various livestock and transporting supplies to the village. It was about five miles from the canal. It took about half an hour for the Yulin Guard to travel back and forth.
Another group of people are using tools to dig trenches and build camps. Everyone is working hard. Everyone knows that every moment is precious now. Take a little more time and be more sure of dealing with the Qing army.
This was the second day after the Haoge tribe disappeared. From the prisoners, I learned that Haoge had more than 50,000 people, including more than 30,000 real Tartars. Other Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners were also elite. After yesterday's war, no one dared to promise that if the marching was on, 40,000 Yulin Guards could block the attack of more than 50,000 Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces.
Since you are not sure when marching, the easiest way is to build a position yourself first and let the Manchu and Mongolian coalition attack. If the emperor personally provides bait, I believe that the Tartars will definitely not let it go after learning this information.
The time left for the Yulin Guard is no more than three days. This battlefield is not very ideal at the moment. However, Wang Fu no longer has time to find a more ideal battlefield. There are three days to build a position and install cannons, which is barely enough.
