Chapter 599: Countless Captives

"More than 10,000 cows, more than 5,000 wounded soldiers, and more than 6,000 young women, they have gained a lot!" He Xing, who had invaded the camp of the rebel army, smiled happily after hearing the soldiers' reports.

More than 5,000 wounded soldiers, including Li Guodong's alcohol, hot water disinfection, boiled with boiling water and then dried with fire, can save most people, and will not leave any wounds that are inflamed and forced to amputate. In addition to some people who are blinded by lime, seriously infected with wounds, severely injured and disabled people who have broken arms and legs, at least more than 3,000 people can jump around again after being cured. After the refugees were cured, they were sent to various places with a group of labor and reserve forces.

He Xing approached the female barracks of the trespassing army and saw that the young women left by the trespassing army, except for a few injured and unable to walk, most of the young women were those who were tender and tender skin and knew that they had never done rough work at the first glance.

"What's going on with these women?" He Xing asked, "Why did you keep them all when the thief left?"

A small flag officer replied: "When the chief, some of them are the eldest daughters of officials and gentry families, the personal maids, some are the palace maids of the Fu Palace, and some are the daughters of the middle-aged families. The army of the crusades incorporated all the thick and big-footed women into the healthy women's camp. The most beautiful women were all distributed to the leaders as their wives and concubines. The women left behind were not the most beautiful, spoiled and spoiled, and could not run away, and were discarded."

These women are either palace maids, or ladies and maids from wealthy families, or middle-aged women with good family conditions. Such women are definitely not needed by Li Zicheng's healthy women camp. The healthy women camp recruits thick and thick hands and big feet with thick hands and wide feet. Those strong women may not be effective when they go to the battlefield, but setting up camps, doing heavy physical work, and acting as auxiliary soldiers are not necessarily worse than men.

So these women with tender skin and tender flesh are not considered as beautiful and beautiful, and have been discarded.

He Xing walked to a girl dressed as a palace maid and saw that the girl looked about thirteen or four years old, and looked a little pretty. He walked to a girl dressed as a rich girl, about twelve or three years old, and looked at her for a few minutes and found that she looked pretty pretty.

"These women all look OK. If you ask them if they are willing to go home or if they are unwilling to go home, they can send them to our soldiers who have made contributions." He Xing said with a smile.

A thousand-house officer led dozens of soldiers into the crowd of women and asked, "Girls, who do you want to go home? We can send you back if you are willing to go home; if you are unwilling to go home, you can choose a good-looking man from among us."

"June, we don't want to go back, and we can't survive even if we go back." A woman who looked like a young woman stood up.

"Mr. Jun. I won't go back. If I go back, my father will force me to commit suicide." A fourteen-five-year-old girl replied.

"We won't go back, I hope Jun Ye can save us." Most women are unwilling to go home.

In the era of the raging Neo-Confucianism in the late Ming Dynasty, it was no longer as open as in the early Ming Dynasty. A good woman once fell into the hands of a bandit. Whether she was touched or not, in the eyes of the elders of the family forces, they were no longer clean. Once they were considered unclean, what awaited them would be forced to commit suicide.

Only a few small families whose power is not so strong are willing to go back, while the rest of the women choose to stay.

Even if you assign a wife to a meritorious officer, you have to make arrangements as much as possible on the basis of your wishes. He Xing could not handle this matter and could only wait for Li Guodong to come back to deal with it. In fact, these women who were discarded by the rebel army looked pretty good. The vulgar military men could get such a wife, which could be said to be a burning incense. The meritorious soldiers under Li Guodong had a good military salary and good treatment, so it would be no problem to support a delicate and gentle woman.

At this time, Li Guodong was leading 6,000 cavalrymen, following the retreating rebels and chasing them reluctantly.

"Surrender to avoid death!" The light cavalry following the refugees shouted and chased after them. In this battle, Li Guodong did not ask for many people to kill, but only wanted to capture refugees as much as possible.

Hearing the Ming army's shouts, the refugees who were almost unable to run knelt on the ground. The light cavalry passed by them, threw down bundles of ropes, and ordered the refugees to tie them up. Then they ignored them and continued to pursue the refugees who fled everywhere.

A few bandits, bandits, knew that they had no good ending to fall into the hands of the Ming army, so they turned around and resisted stubbornly. As a result, before the light cavalry rushed to them, a row of arrows shot over and shot the bandits out of hedgehogs. The cavalry galloped past, and the sabers cut off the bandits' heads, the war horses knocked the bandits away, and the horse's hooves trampled the bandits into meat paste.

Li Guodong personally led 3,000 heavy cavalry, followed behind the light cavalry and pursued the bandit army together. His 3,000 heavy cavalry was used to prevent the counterattack of the veteran soldiers of the rebel army.

The King of Rebellion Li Zicheng led his old camp cavalry to run wildly, without caring about the situation behind him.

He rode forward and caught up with Li Zicheng. The cavalry arrived in front of Li Zicheng, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on one knee: "Big King! King, the official dog chased us closely."

"The official dog caught up with us? How far is it from us?" Li Zicheng glared with one eye and asked.

"They are still far from our old camp soldiers. They follow us, hunt down the hungry people, and kill the newly-brothered horse bandits who defect to us."

"Then let them go! As long as we don't catch up with our old camp soldiers, there is no need to risk our old camp soldiers to save those mobs!" Li Zicheng roared.

"Nee—" Li Zicheng suddenly screamed, and his loud speech just now pulled the nerves in the injured left eye, causing him unbearable pain. Li Zicheng shook his body and almost fell off the horse's back.

"King! King!" Liu Zongmin and others hurried forward and supported Li Zicheng.

"Let's go!" Li Zicheng said gritting his teeth. He spoke loudly, and the left eye socket, which had lost its eyes, stinged again.

Li Guodong's three thousand heavy cavalry ultimately did not have the chance to compete with Li Zicheng's old camp cavalry. Throughout the journey, they were all refugees who were tied up and surrendered on the ground.

The main force of the Ming army chased for more than 100 miles, and was about to chase to Xinzheng (now Zhengzhou). Along the way, he killed thousands of old thieves in the Turkish thief and captured more than 150,000 refugees, most of whom were young and strong men, and more than 20,000 strong women with thick hands and feet.

Li Guodong took heavy cavalry and the infantry following behind and carried 150,000 refugees back. Three thousand light cavalry continued to pursue and recruited the lonely refugees.

"Be honest, don't try to escape. If the escaped person is caught back, then we will not be so polite!" Liu Laogen, who has become an engineer, shouted at a group of refugees kneeling on the ground with a spear in his hand.

Although Liu Laogen's newly married young wife was less than fifteen years old, she was very diligent. She could plant more than ten acres of farmland by leaving her young wife alone in Shandong. Liu Laogen went south with the engineering troops. In the past two years, he went to Jiangnan to build a farm, build a dam, and then went to Jiujiang to build a dam and dig rivers and canals. Now he has come to Henan and participated in the Battle of Kaifeng.

After arresting so many refugees, with these newcomers joining, Wu Weibo's strength became even stronger. Liu Laogen said in his heart.

One of the refugees stood up. Seeing the man standing up, two Ming soldiers stepped forward and pointed at the man with a spear: "Be honest! Sit down for me!"

"Liu Laogen! Liu Laogen!" the man shouted.

When Liu Laogen heard the scream, he immediately walked up to him.

"Liu Laogen, is it you?" the man asked.

"Are you? Ah, is it Zhang Ashui?" Liu Laogen asked.

"Yes, I am Zhang Ashui and Liu Laogen. I haven't seen each other for several years. Are you okay?"

"You sit down first. Now you are our prisoner. Let's talk slowly after you settle down."
