Chapter 9

The sky is getting darker and darker, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the woods before it's completely dark.

Huang Han decided not to do useless work, and was going to climb a big tree to spend the night. This was of course because he captured the lasso.

He can use a lasso to fix himself on the tree trunk, so he doesn't have to worry about falling from the tree and falling to his death in sleep, and he's not afraid of being suddenly attacked by wild beasts. in activity.

I had nothing to say all night, and when I woke up the next day, I found that it was rare to see the sun. The sky was gloomy for the past few days, and this was the first ray of sunrise I saw after arriving in Daming. Huang Han couldn't help standing on the tree and staring at the blue sky. I watched the blue sky for a long time.

He didn't get the planned war horse, and was equipped with an extra leather shield. At last, his busyness was not in vain. Thinking that many Han people should have escaped yesterday, Huang Han was still a little happy, and finally did his best for the Han people.

With two imperfect ambush experiences, Huang Han thinks that there should be no problem with the plan. The only thing missing now is a piece of good luck, because the plan failed to keep up with the changes due to accidents both times.

All in all, it is still too lonely to fight alone. If one more person looks ahead to extend the field of vision for a few miles, every attack will not be a risky gamble every time.

It is difficult to walk in dense forests. Huang Han always chooses to walk on the edge of the forest. Although there is no road here, it is much easier to walk. Another great advantage is that you can hide in the woods first if you find trouble.

Of course, you can walk when you find that there is no situation on the official road, but when you are in the wilderness, you must count the time and speed to sprint, otherwise you will be in trouble when you encounter enemies.

It may be because of the fine weather, when Huang Han walked to the edge of the forest, he never had the opportunity to pass through a section of the unobstructed official road, because there was an endless stream of Jiannu and Tartar cavalry on the road.

The depressed Huang Han had no choice but to wait, maybe he had to wait until the sun went down.

Anyway, being idle is boring, Huang Han chose another ambush point to hide, thinking that if any unlucky ghosts who are alone appear, he can do things cheaply, and it is acceptable to grab a few pancakes if he can't snatch the enemy's war horse.

After walking for a few days, Huang Han found only Tartars and Jiannu running, but he never saw a single Ming army cavalry. It seemed that this huge territory was no longer the territory of Ming Dynasty, but had become a hunting ground for Tartars and Jiannu.

Daming, a vast country with a population of more than 5000 million, was so weak that Huang Han, a cynical youth with a strong sense of national honor, was extremely ashamed.

He knew in his heart that if the Han people did not break out in the past few years, they would be doomed, and finally became the slaves of the Tunguska savages for more than two hundred years.

But with only one person and a knife, I can only worry in vain!

Not long after, a large team appeared on the official road in the wilderness, and the cries of the common people and the shouts of Jiannu could be heard from a distance.

The line is so long that you can't see the end. There should be 5000 people. The Jiannu who appeared here may be a bull record, and the armored soldiers are at least no less than two hundred. The number of coated slaves wielding knives to help Jiannu drive away the common people is even greater. many.

Later gold is a backward and barbaric slavery, and the top is the military aristocracy.

In the era of wild boarskin, theoretically every Jiannu was a slave, because the military nobles who built slaves claimed to be slaves in front of Nurhachi, and wild boarskin could kill any military nobleman at will, even his own brothers and sons. Complimenting so-and-so can say that so-and-so is a good minion.

These good slaves are also big slaves—Gushan Ezhen, and then they have middle slaves like Jiala Ezhen and Niu Lu Ezhen, and the middle slaves have armored men as small slaves, the most basic small slaves There will be Han Chinese, Koreans, and Mongolians as coated slaves.

You have to get the master's approval to be a slave, and the master said harshly, "I don't have a slave like you." So, the slaves were heartbroken, and begged the master not to let the slave serve you...

Many Han people who were not even slaves, Aha, were taken captive to Liaodong, and they were really inferior to animals. They were not only bullied by Jiannu, but also bullied even harder by Han people who had become slaves.

It is obvious that this is a team for escorting spoils to Zunhua. There are men and women in the team, but there are no old, weak, sick or disabled. The mules, horses, carts and ox carts are fully loaded, and the Han men who work as laborers are all shoulder-to-shoulder With goods.

The team was about to enter the official road in the woods, Jiannu immediately dispatched more than a dozen cavalry to stand in front, and all the Jiannu bowed their bows and drew their knives out of their sheaths as a state of alert.

The coated servants not only brandished their knives to show off their power, but also threatened loudly: "If anyone dares to play tricks in the woods, I will definitely have his skin alive."

It can be seen that passing through the woods is prone to chaos, leading to the escape of captured spoils has long been the consensus of the slaves, and they have already taken precautions in advance.

In fact, even if Jiannu didn't put on a guard, Huang Han didn't dare to rush out to hack Jiannu and create chaos. Just kidding, there are only a few hundred armored slaves here, and he is neither brass nor iron, nor superhuman.

If he doesn't adopt sneak attack tactics, he can't guarantee that he will win if he fights two Jiannu vests by himself, two or three hundred?That is to go to beat and be beaten, and there is only one ending in the end, which is to be beaten to death by Jiannu.

Huang Han is still looking forward to those strong Han laborers who are not tied up but are driving carts or carrying things to cry out not to be slaves.

If they threw the things on their shoulders at Jiannu, and the cart they were driving at Jiannu, and then everyone ran wildly into the woods, although the casualties would be heavy, it shouldn't be a problem to lose more than half of the strong laborers.

Once such a situation occurs, Huang Han will not stand by and watch, and will always plot against one or two barbarians who chase into the woods.

It's a pity that these Han people were afraid of being killed. No one dared to stand out, and each of them worked harder under the whip. After entering the woods, the team obviously increased their speed.

Mourn its misfortune, anger its indisputable.Huang Han really couldn't predict the fate of these thousands of Han people, but he can be sure that no more than half of them will survive after they went to Liaodong to work as cattle and horses.

After finally waiting for the big team to pass, seeing the sun was about to set, Huang Han planned to drive a longer distance before the night, because after all, walking in the dark was much slower.

After these few days of observation, it is clear that traveling in broad daylight is very risky, and if there is a trouble, you have to hide, and you have to take a detour when encountering the enemy. It is useless to walk more than ten miles a day.

He was going to simply walk at night, since he was in good physical condition and had no night blindness. He had a saber in his hand and a leather shield on his back.

He had to make good use of a lasso that he got. Huang Han used this rope to firmly tie the girdle and leather shield to his body. This would not affect his mobility, and it also improved his protection.

If Jiannu shoots heavy arrows with a step bow at a distance of [-] to [-] steps, it will not be able to hurt the back with a leather shield. If there are more pockets on the chest, it will also reduce a lot of damage. After all, arrows are not bullets, they can be seen and touched The penetrating power is average.

With this big girdle slung across the shoulders, the front and rear corners exposed from the right waist were tied tightly, and more than half of the left shoulder, chest and back were covered. Huang Han had already cut off all the meat from the horse's legs and put them in With a bag, it not only reduces the burden, but also increases the protection of the front heart.

With Huang Han's combat skills, as long as the arrows are not shot in unison, he can still deal with them by wielding the saber and dialing three or five arrows.In the current state, as long as you are careful and don't let yourself face multiple enemies at the same time, your safety is still guaranteed.

Most people suffer from night blindness these days. Basically no one travels in the dark at dusk. Nine times out of ten, they get up early and travel in the dark, because the sky gets brighter and brighter when they get up early, and it gets darker as they walk in the evening.

In order to avoid encountering enemies and pedestrians, Huang Han went the opposite way, rushing on the road when the sun was infinitely good, and finding a forest to climb a big tree to sleep in the dark before dawn.

After Jiannu finished walking, Huang Han also set off. He walked up the official road facing the setting sun with great strides. Unexpectedly, he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from ahead after walking for less than three miles.
