The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 126
The three maidservants Huang Han took in, a mother and a servant, Huang Kezao, also actively participated in the treatment of the wounded. The ingenious Tianxiang dared to stitch the wounded up, and his movements were quicker than Liu Dashou's.

This little girl once assisted Liu Dashou in treating Bai Yangcui's concubine, Cailian, and she was the one who took care of Cailian and changed her dressing, so she has experience in dealing with trauma.

Zheng Xiaowen organized more than a hundred men and women to cook broth and steam cakes, and Fang Liandong led dozens of men to carry the wounded down the city.

The thirty-odd guns deployed by Liu Zhilun showed their splendor today. The gunners finally understood what firepower is. Seeing the large bullets of the guns hit the target, they would be covered in blood mist, and everyone felt relieved.

Things hurt their kind. After seeing the Jin army wantonly slaughtering Han compatriots outside the city, any Han who has a trace of blood will no longer be silent.

At this time, the gunners got the opportunity to let the Houjin army eat the gun, how could they let it go, and took out the fastest speed to complete the loading and firing.

Liu Zhilun, who was wearing a helmet and armor, adjusted a bed crossbow and fired it himself. When firing the third bed crossbow special arrow like a throwing gun, this big arrow went straight into the chest of a white armored soldier of the late Jin army.

Liu Zhilun was so excited that he jumped three feet high, he temporarily forgot all the bearing and self-cultivation that a literati should have.

Facing Huang Han who was shooting arrows on his right side, he yelled: "General Huang, come and see, I shot and killed a Jiannu Baijia today. The one whose chest was pierced by a big arrow."

Huang Han discovered that a Jiannu Ba Yala had been pierced through the chest by a big arrow specially designed for bed crossbows, but he didn't know that Liu Zhilun shot it himself. Hearing Liu Zhilun's excited words, he cheered loudly: "Master Liu is really a hero. Congratulations to Nubaijia."

Liu Zhilun said: "Damn it! What a pity, it would be great if we could drag the body of that Jiannu white armor soldier back!"

"It doesn't matter, there are so many soldiers and soldiers who saw your lord shoot through that white armor with your own eyes today, and your lord's glory will spread all over the world soon."

The two of them didn't stop talking and their hands moved. Huang Han had already shot 22 feather arrows back and forth. At this moment, he only felt his arms were sore.

The bed crossbow controlled by Liu Zhilun was reloaded again, and then a big arrow was shot out. This time, it missed the enemy, but hit a Tartar horse, causing the Mongolian soldier to fall to the ground and die.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of gongs coming from the direction of Hou Jinjun.

It turned out that after Hong found out that the Jin army had just killed some common people of Ming Dynasty in such a way, the casualties caused to the Ming army defending the city were not worth mentioning, but his own side had to pay a heavy price for killing the unarmed common people. He decided decisively Mingjin withdraws troops.

The Hou Jin army rushed quickly and retreated simply, and it really deserves to be one of the kings of the cold weapon troops of this era.

Mang Gurtai was so angry that he couldn't steal the chicken, and he knew that he had lost face this time, so he was too embarrassed to brag in front of others.

Seeing that Jiannu had retreated, Huang Han immediately stretched out his head from the top of the city and said to the young and middle-aged Han people below: "Courageous men, listen carefully, rush forward and take the one about 150 steps away from the chest that was hit by a big arrow." The body of the white-armored Jiannu soldier who ran through it was snatched from the city and the official gave a reward of 100 taels of silver."

Liu Zhilun said: "Master Huang doesn't have to be like this, it's not worth letting those ordinary people lose their lives just for the sake of fame."

Huang Han said: "The Han people can no longer be silent. Now we have reached the point where we must fight with our lives. Those men who dare to snatch Jiannu's body will definitely dare to take up arms and fight for their wives and children in the future."

Liu Zhilun felt that Huang Han's words were justified, and he also shouted: "Heroes, go and snatch Jiannu's body! I will reward you with 20 taels of silver for the first level. The more the better."

Liu Zhilun's soldiers immediately repeated the command of the general in unison: "Whoever snatches back a corpse of an armored soldier will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver." Immediately afterwards, the Ming army at the top of the city repeated this sentence.

Some people added: "Everyone must pay attention, don't forget to confiscate the badges of Jiannu and Tartars."

At this time, more than a hundred courageous men picked up the weapons left on the ground, and some even rushed [-] steps away to pick up the leather shield. Since they didn't have armor, they could carry weight more quickly, and the four of them cooperated to actually pull The body of the white armored soldier came back.

The rest of them were not empty-handed either, they each grabbed the feet of a Jiannu or Tartar corpse and ran to the base of the city wall in a group, pulling back more than twenty corpses in total.

The hanging baskets from the top of the city are still pulling women and children to the top of the city. The "Red Banner Army" is reluctant to use the hanging baskets that can save the lives of ordinary people if they want to pull those corpses.

They threw down the rope and let the young and strong under the city tie the waist or feet of Hou Jinjun's body. The two soldiers worked hard together, and they got the first-level harvest including the armor.

I was a knife for the fish and meat. At this time, the men in the city knew that the Jin army was brutal and murderous without blinking an eye.

Not long after, the Jin army sent troops to snatch the corpses. The artillery and guns at the head of Zunhua city still fired at a leisurely pace, trying to cause more casualties to the enemy.

The Hou Jin army was not stupid, they did not come to snatch the corpses themselves, but threatened Banners and Baoyi to drive away the trapped Han people to collect the corpses for a hundred or so Tartars and slaves.

Huang Han discovered this situation and decided to stop shooting. He could not waste precious gunpowder shooting Han people. Even if he hit a few bannermen, it would be meaningless. As long as the Jin army did not come within range, the Ming army would not open fire.

Since Jiannu always kept 5000 troops cruising two miles away, the "Red Banner Army" could only take the cover of strong labor and use about [-] hanging baskets to pull the people to the top of the city.

Even so, [-]% to [-]% of the people who Mangurtai deliberately drove to the city of Zunhua were rescued. The total number reached more than [-], and more than [-] of them were young men.

To be on the safe side, Huang Han personally led Song Pengfei, Zhao Kun and other dozens of people to screen the people who entered the city again. In the end, there were only thirty or so men who couldn't tell their identities clearly, and couldn't find any witnesses.

This is interesting, none of these people had their heads shaved, they didn't wear armor, and they weren't found to have weapons, but why were they alone, and no one from the same village was among the rescued crowd?

Obviously, many of these people should have problems. Huang Han could only say to them: "If you can't tell where you came from, you may not be the spies of Jiannu, but there must be enemy spies among you. An Wei, I can only apologize."

There was no way, Huang Han went out in person in order not to let a bad guy go and wrong a good guy as much as possible.
