The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 101 The Return
This is actually the mental state of most soldiers of the Golden Army after looting for several months.

They have long since lost the spirit of playing life with bare feet and not being afraid to wear shoes. They only want to bring back the hard-earned gold, silver, treasures, supplies, population, and livestock to Liaodong safely. Go desperately with the Ming army.

Huang Han was not afraid of the enemy's pursuit, he couldn't do anything with high mountains and dense forests, the enemy army was not familiar with the terrain, and there were more than a dozen locals in the "Red Banner Army" team.

The retreating "Red Banner Army" troops can keep giving eye drops to the following enemy troops, and cutting down some big trees to block the only way in a dangerous place is enough to make the enemies who follow behind eat farts in a hurry for an hour.

The journey back was smooth, and no pursuers were found at all. Although everyone had horses, it was not until evening that the outline of Zunhua City could be vaguely seen.

At this moment, the sound of "rumbling" horseshoes came from far to near, startling Huang Han into sweat.He thought to himself: "It's all at the door of the house, is it possible to be planted here?"

Yang Danian and Yuan Siming reacted quickly, and immediately ordered their subordinates to jog in formation to prepare for the cavalry attack.At this moment, Pei Daneng, who was acting as a scout, rode his horse and ran over, and he reported loudly: "My lord, Mr. Yang Baizong led his brothers to meet us."

Immediately afterwards, I heard Hanzi yelling: "Brother Han! You should have come back an hour ago. I almost stretched my neck at the top of the city. I really couldn't bear the suffering of waiting, so He brought three brothers from the General Banner to respond. Did anything happen to you?"

Although Huang Han blamed Hanzi for his recklessness in his heart, he was sweating from fright, but he felt the strong brotherhood of Hanzi, and his heart was still warm.

Huang Han said: "What can we do? It's just that we don't want to come back empty-handed. We waited for a team of ten men to take their heads."

Han Zile said: "Haha, that's great, are there any casualties among the brothers?"

"It's okay, only a few people are slightly injured."

"Brother Han, Mr. Liu, Ma Jinglue, and Zongbing Wu have sent people to our military camp at the north gate to look over and over again. Before I left the city, Mr. Liu was still worried. He had already personally looked at the city from the top of the city. That Mr. Liu is really interesting, I like it."

The scheming fool still said whatever came to his mind, Huang Han teased: "Oh! Really? How about I inquire and see if he has a daughter waiting to be married."

"Brother Han, what does this mean?"

"I'll be a matchmaker for you, and you'll be able to embrace a beautiful woman! He's a scholar-bureaucrat, from a scholarly family!"

"Brother Han, you are kidding me, the daughter of a scholar-bureaucrat will be our daughter-in-law, do you really think I am stupid?"

"That's not necessarily true. There is no such thing as a prime minister. A man should be self-reliant. There may be too many scholar-bureaucrats wanting to betroth his daughter-in-law to you one day."

"Haha, it seems to be possible. With my current promotion speed, it won't take long to become a general."

Hanzi was very happy to see Huang Han let go of his hanging heart, and the two joked all the way to the north gate of Zunhua.

At this time, all civil servants and generals in Zunhua had been informed by scouts, knowing that the "Red Banner Army" troops who had been terminated had not only returned safely, but also beheaded the first-level slave vest and the tenth-level Tartar.

A group of civil servants and generals were on the top of the north gate overlooking the mountains at night. Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian had already recovered from the excitement of gaining more than a dozen levels in the attack on the slave post.

They were really embarrassed to mention this matter again. More than 2000 people made more than a dozen slaves. Compared with the Red Banner Army, which only dispatched more than [-] people and won more than [-] heads of the Jin Army, it is really not worth mentioning.

What's more, more than 2000 war horses, draft horses, and more than 400 strong cattle were loaded with supplies and wheat. How much money did the "Red Banner Army" make this time?

There are too many Zunhua defenders who are envious and jealous, especially under the command of Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian. They are all talking about the "Red Banner Army" and lamenting themselves.

Because each of Liu Zhilun's soldiers has at least 40 taels of silver in hand, and the soldiers of Ma and Wu have not been paid for three months.

"Brother, why is the leader of the 'Red Banner Army' always doing so well?"

"Of course. Didn't you see that the leader of the family died in person and didn't return to the city until now? If I follow such a leader, I will go forward bravely."

"That's right, how can the lord general Mao Shishi spare our lives? Besides, if you win a battle, you can get gold and silver for your military exploits. Who doesn't scramble for the first?"

"Damn, why don't we do this vote, we have more than twice as many troops as the 'Red Banner Army'!"

"The lord will take soldiers like us to drill the ravine in the dark. Can you estimate how many people there will be when we finally reach the ambush point? Maybe you will run away halfway!"

"Come on, you still have the nerve to talk about me, I'm afraid you will be the first to get into the woods and run away without a trace!"

"Can you blame us? Why do you eat food and serve as soldiers? It's not for the little food. Now you have to go to battle and fight with your life. The food has not been paid for three months, and we still go for others Is it true that you have no tendons to try your best?"

At this time, one of the hundred chiefs shouted loudly: "Wang San, Zhao Si, if you speak strange things again, believe it or not, I will beat you to death?"

Seeing that the Shangguan overheard their conversation, the two soldiers immediately remained silent obediently.

On the top of the city, more than a dozen Zunhua military generals surrounded Liu Zhilun to look at the scenery on the top of the city. Ma Shilong said with emotion: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers. This statement is true! Master Huang has only been floating around for two days, and the captures and gains he got I'm afraid they can support hundreds of family members for a year."

Liu Zhilun said with a smile: "Ma Jinglue, it's better to retreat and make a net if you are envious of fish in Linyuan! You have four to five thousand cavalry and infantry under your command. Earlier, you made an attack like General Huang's. Aren't those gains and captures all yours?"

Ma Shilong was speechless, thinking about it in his heart, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case. His own number of troops was two or three times that of the "Red Banner Army".

Wu Zimian couldn't help laughing, and said: "We have fought for half our lives, how can we compare with Master Huang's reckless stunned head, who leads troops in a war without rules, that is, the gang of 'Red Banner Army' can If you make him feel like a fish in water, if you give him our men and horses, Master Huang will be in vain."

Liu Zhilun scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, when Zunhua was attacked, there was no 'Red Banner Army'. General Huang only had fifty armored servants. Didn't Zunhua City be blown down by our army? You shouldn't envy General Huang." Red Banner Army', but should ask him how to train such a strong army."
