The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 14 Captured
Song Pengfei, who was already close to the enemy, was reminded, but he refused to give up the opportunity of Zha Jiannu, and raised the tip of his spear slightly.

There was only a sound of "噗味", and the point of the spear pierced through Jiannu's neck and came out from the back of his neck.

Huang Han said with a smile: "You are doing the right thing. Only the Jiannu who have been pierced through can be trusted."

It may be the first time that a weapon has been pierced into the human body. Song Pengfei's face turned pale and his hands trembled a little after he couldn't get used to it.

He forced his composure to smile and said, "Master, Jiannu is nothing more than that, one shot can pierce through it!"

"It's true, you remember, as long as the Han people dare to fight, no enemy can defeat the great Han nation."

Song Pengfei drew his gun vigorously, but Jiannu's body fell straight on top of him, and he kicked Jiannu into his chest and shouted, "Go to your mother."

It was obvious that Song Pengfei yelled and cursed to strengthen his courage. After he had this experience of piercing through the enemy face to face, he would be much better when facing the bloody battlefield in the future.

Huang Han ran to Jianu's horse and took out the quiver and said to Song Pengfei, "Clean the battlefield quickly, and remember to take off all the equipment on Jianu's body. I'll go ahead and stare at it. I guess the two Jiannu in front will find their companions If you don’t keep up, you will look back.”

Huang Han ran [-] steps away and saw some small trees on the side of the road. He cut off a few trees and dragged them to the main road. Of course, the purpose of doing this was to slow down the knight who was confused about the situation.

After all, there are too many uncertainties in the arrow shooting of galloping cavalry. If the cavalry loses horse speed, the hit rate of archery will double.

Huang Han was still hiding behind a big tree by the side of the road, with a saber beside him, and after about a moment, two Jiannu and four horses came galloping.

Although the two Jiannus were unhappy with their companions wasting time, they reined in their horses and slowed down. After jogging for a while, their companions did not catch up. The two Jiannus thought that their companions might have discovered something, so they decided to look back.

Everything was as expected by Huang Han, seeing the roadblock from a distance, the two Jian slaves noticed that they slowed down very early.

These two are also veterans of many battles, and they are very vigilant. One has taken out a leather shield and picked up a machete to be on guard, and the other has already taken out a compound bow and put on a feathered arrow to aim at the sides of the road.

In fact, there are only mere branches on the official road, which are not enough to stop the horses. As long as the two Jiannus jump over the horses, Song Pengfei, who is picking up Jiannu's armor, will probably be shot to death on the spot by Jiannu.

But Jiannu didn't know the depth at all. They just passed by here not long ago and found that their companions hadn't followed up when they came back to search and found a roadblock. Of course, they would be extra careful.

Jianu had already entered thirty steps away, "Swoosh!" The feathered arrow in Huang Han's hand went straight to the enemy's chest. Of course he chose Jianu who was holding a compound bow and was ready to shoot at any time.

Jiannu, who was on high alert, reacted quickly and turned sideways on his horse. Unfortunately, the heavy arrow struck him at a short distance, strong momentum, and fast enough. Jiannu couldn't dodge in time, and the armor-piercing cone still pierced into his left rib.

Jiannu, who was suffering from pain, just had time to let out a muffled snort, "whoosh" the second feather arrow came again, this time his dodging movement was half a beat slower, and the arrow went straight into the left chest.

Jiannu, who felt that he was losing strength, turned pale with fright. He threw his compound bow and crawled on the horse, hugged the horse's neck tightly and clamped the horse's belly. The horse neighed and ran away.

It was too late and then too soon, Huang Han's third armor-piercing awl had already gone towards the horse holding the sword to build slaves. It wasn't that Huang Han intended to shoot people first, but the boy curled up when he realized that there was a cold arrow attack. Behind the shield, it seems impossible to shoot.

Seeing the arrows coming, Jiannu immediately leaned forward to block with the machete, and with a precise "ding" sound, the feathered arrow was knocked out more than ten steps away.

The Jiannu couldn't figure out the situation, and his companion obviously suffered heavy injuries and ran away, so he didn't dare to stay. He crawled on the horse and protected his back with a leather shield, then turned around and galloped away, and soon his back disappeared into the distance.

Huang Han collected himself and listened carefully. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and he heard no other noises. After confirming that it was safe, he picked up Jianu's lost compound bow and a feathered arrow on the official road.

These days, it takes time and effort to make a good bow, so it is expensive. Strong bows like compound bows are prohibited items among the people, and only the army can have them.

It's a pity that in the last Ming Dynasty, apart from the slightly better military equipment of the frontier army, many bows and arrows in the Ming army were useless because of cutting corners.

Why is it like entering the land of no one when building slaves and entering the customs?That's because the Ming army has quantity but not quality. Many bows used by the Ming army are soft-looking. Feathered arrows only fly beautifully in the air, and basically have no lethality. These are just props used to deceive Shangguan.

When they really went to the battlefield, there were countless fugitives from the Ming army. When they fought against Jiannu with a composite bow made of real materials, the Ming army would be defeated.

The technology of the Ming army is far superior to that of Jiannu, and the use of firearms has become quite popular, but why can't the use of matchlock guns defeat the barbarians who use bows and arrows?

It's not that the technology of the matchlock gun is not good, but that cutting corners often leads to frequent explosions.

The Ming army is not stupid. They all have ways to deal with it. For their own safety, they refuse to load gunpowder in accordance with the regulations. Some even don’t load lead bullets. They only hear the sound when they shoot. The purpose is to deceive the officer. protect yourself.

The Han people are all smart people, and in the end they were so smart that they destroyed themselves and became the slaves of the barbaric and backward Tungus bastards for more than 200 years.

It is true to say that corruption is enough to subjugate a country. In fact, the Ming Dynasty died because of the prevalence of corruption among civil servants and generals.

Huang Han saw Jiannu’s lost compound bow, of course he wanted to get it back. Long-range weapons are too important. The more the better, maybe some Orion will become his subordinates in the future. Give them a composite bow to get used to it for a month, and a qualified archer can start working immediately .

The two Jian slaves were both on horseback and fully armed. Huang Han didn't expect to keep them at all, he just wanted to stop them and prevent them from missing the harvest again.

Of course, it would be nice to be able to shoot and kill one person, but unfortunately, I don't know if Jian Nu, who was shot with two arrows, was in danger of his life?

Huang Han picked up the bow and arrow and immediately left the battlefield. At this time, Song Pengfei had already packed up and seized the bow and arrow, leading the horse and waiting happily.Looking at the naked Jiannu, Huang Han always felt that something was wrong.

The two of them had walked a few steps before Huang Han suddenly realized that the dead body had a head, which was very wrong. If he didn't cut off Jian Nu's head, what would he have to offer to the court?
Huang Han came back with great strides, "Kacha" cut off Jiannu's head, and said to Song Pengfei: "Xiao Song, you must remember in the future that the heads of Jiannu and Tartars are silver and military achievements. Not only do we have to take away the heads of the enemies, but we can’t break their braids.”

Song Pengfei was very clever, and immediately understood, he quickly picked up Jiannu's money and said with a smile: "Master, I understand, no wonder you keep wearing a Jiannu head, it's so creepy, it turns out that this thing can be promoted and rich !"

He didn't need to wait for Huang Han's order to put this Jiannu head and that one in a bundle.

It's cold and the dripping water turns into ice. There is no need for tanning in this kind of weather. There should be no problem keeping the two Jiannu heads fresh when the ice and snow melt next year.
