A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1016 A brilliant victory
A brilliant victory.

Afa's legs almost broke when he chased the enemy. His whole body was soaked with sweat and he felt like his lungs were going to explode.

"How can these island barbarians run away so damn well,"

Afa and his team were chasing hundreds of people. Instead of surrendering, those hundreds of barbarians actually tried to fight back. This made the leader of the team, who was like a black bear spirit, feel insulted, so he started to charge with a flying stride. Then he stabbed the yelling leader across from him and sent him flying.
Even the flag bearer stabbed one to death with his flag gun.
Afa and his brothers stabbed him one by one with spears.

On this battlefield, the Zhangba spear is not easy to use. It is too long and heavy. It is not as light as the Hengdao, especially when the enemy just wants to escape.
After a sudden burst, the enemy broke up and fled again.

I just regretted that my parents had lost two legs. If possible, they just wanted to become a spider and have eight legs.

Ah Fa felt that they were at a disadvantage.
Wearing leather armor, carrying spears, bows, arrows and knives, as well as water bottles, first aid kits and other equipment, this seriously affected their pursuit speed.

Those island barbarians are much lighter. Many of them are barefoot, and some even have bare feet and only wear a pair of crotch pants. Their equipment is also light, such as an antler gun or an antler gun. a knife,

They all look dark, thin and short, but the thieves can run away.

Just when Afa felt that he might collapse from exhaustion at any time, they finally stopped the hundreds of people under the leadership of the leader, who was like a black bear spirit.

"Run, run, damn you,"

The leader of the team was also out of breath. The weather was really too hot. Everyone was still wearing leather armor and carrying a lot of equipment.

Afa panted like an ox,

Holding a spear, he called to his brothers, "Try to take prisoners alive, those who die are worthless,"

The people they stopped were from the same big house. They were escorting their elders and fled eastward. They were also out of breath.

There are many people in this big house. They are composed of seven families. At this time, they are barely intact. There are about 500 people, about 100 soldiers, and hundreds of slaves from the Chinese people who accompanied the expedition.

Hundreds of warriors armed with swords and guns,
Several clan leaders and their descendants, thirty or forty people surrounded the elders, as well as leather armor, bows and arrows.

The elder couldn't run anymore, so he asked several tall and strong serfs to take turns carrying him on their backs all the way.

After all, he was stopped.

The soul is scattered,

Everyone is desperate,

They fought back, but to no avail;

Although there are dozens of people chasing them, those guys have leather armor, not only equipped with spears and knives, but also bows and arrows, which can shoot far and sharply. Their leather armor is much better than them, and their spears The Japanese knife is also extremely sharp.

What's even more outrageous is that these guys, only a few dozen in number, chased hundreds of them and fought them with as much ferocity as tigers. On the contrary, they fled all the way, and their morale dropped to the bottom. Many tenants and serfs had trembling legs and wandering eyes. I just wanted to find an opportunity to break away from the team and escape.

If the elders hadn't asked the seven clan leaders to restrain them and killed a dozen slaves who tried to escape, they would have been dispersed long ago.

But he was stopped after all.

"Fight them," the elder said with a pale face, gritting his teeth and trying to kill him.

But the seven family heads were silent.

Finally the elder's son couldn't help but said, "We can't defeat them."

A young family head was also crestfallen and full of despair, "We will all die here,"

"Talk to them,"

"Or we surrender."

The atmosphere of despair spread among the five hundred people in this large house,
The captain of the Black Bear Spirit waved his hand and ordered four of the five groups under his command to defend each direction in one direction to surround the natives. He led one group to act as a reserve team, and he would reinforce wherever the natives broke out.

The natives were surrounded. They retreated and crowded together, so densely packed that they could not break through for the time being.

Ah Fa and his brothers stayed on the side, took the time to catch their breath and rest, took off the water bag from their waist, drank it vigorously, and drank half the bottle in one go.

After quenching his thirst, Ah Fa took out another piece of betel nut, threw it into his mouth and chewed it to cheer him up.

At this time, he missed the sea very much, missed the fish boats and row houses where he grew up, and missed the time when he would take off his clothes and swim in the sea.
"Brother Fa, those guys haven't moved."

The mate, Agui, was also chewing betel nuts. Agui was also a dragonfly and lived on the sea near Ludao Island. Afa and his group of ten people were all dragonfly residents from the sea.

"First take a moment to take a few breaths and regain your strength," Ah Fa said.

No matter what, they caught a big fish this time, but it would take a lot of effort to harvest it.

Afa used to live at sea. He could not only dive into the sea to stab fish and catch shrimps, but also fish with a pole. He even had the ability to catch a shark.

When you catch a big fish, you have to run away. Don't be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, you will get away.

Now they were a team of fifty, but they surrounded five hundred enemies.

If they were of equal strength, this kind of siege might cause them to be surrounded by the enemy, but they were facing the natives, who were far inferior to them in all aspects.

That's why the leader of the team didn't care what the flag bearer reminded him all the way. Return to the army, don't cover up the poor bandits, don't chase after these bullshit.

The flag-bearer is tall and tall, but he used to be a shop clerk. He can write and do calculations, so he became the flag-bearer. I don’t know where he bought a copy of Sun Tzu’s Art of War. He carries it with him every day, reading it day and night, and reading it every day. , the exit is Sun Tzu's Art of War, any encirclement must be blocked, return to the enemy do not cover up.

Why eat the enemy for one minute and treat me twenty?

Why is it that a soldier is more valuable to win than to last?
What is the first step to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the army, and the third step is to attack the city.

What if ten means to encircle it, five means to attack it, and if twice it means to divide it...
Although Afa joined the Wu family guard, he attended night classes as required, learned Mandarin and learned to read and write, but he did not understand Sun Tzu's Art of War.

The team leader doesn’t understand either.
So he ignored the flag bearer's words at all,
The leader of the team refuted his original words, that is, the thief is now running away like a lost dog. How can he not chase him? Those are not five hundred fleeing enemies, but countless long-legged achievements and money.

How could you let him go?

If all the fat that comes to his mouth is gone, then what else does he think of as the leader of his team? How can he deal with Duke Wu and the Marquis, and how can he deal with the brothers who follow him?

So go to hell and return to the army, don't cover up the poor, and don't chase after them. He only knows that these hundreds of people have countless merits and rewards. If they let them go, he will vomit blood.

"Brothers, if a soldier beheads three levels or captures three people, he can advance to one level.
We have now surrounded five or six hundred people, and our team has fifty people. On average, one person can spread out to ten people, which is enough for us all to advance to one or two levels."

A Yi warrior would be rewarded three bolts of silk for a living prisoner, and a slave would be rewarded three feet.

How could you miss such a rare opportunity to make a fortune?

"Although a living thing is worth more than a dead one, the thieves are ten times more powerful than me, and I have to guard against them being defeated, so don't show mercy.
Get down first and then we'll talk. Anyone who dares to surrender will be cut down. "

"One more important point,"

"Before the battle is over, whoever dares to cut off his head to search for trophies will be killed by the deputy king with a knife."

"After the fight is over, let's record the beheadings and clean the battlefield to collect the loot."

The leader of the team turned around and glanced at the hundreds of island natives who were surrounded. They were as panic-stricken as a flock of sheep surrounded by wolves.

The team leader licked his chapped lips,

After this battle, he should be able to advance to the next level, and receive a good reward, and even Hundian. When he is on vacation, he can take in a concubine and buy two more maids.

The leader of the team was delighted.

These island barbarians were frightened. They were ten times their size. They were surrounded but they didn't dare to break out. They just huddled together.

The big flag-bearer actually said that the enemy should not pursue the poor enemy but should not cover up the enemy.
fart.

He took a few steps forward,
As a result, the natives in front retreated one after another, not even daring to confront them.

The leader of the team laughed several times proudly,
He waved his flag and gun, pointed it at the natives, and shouted, "Abandon your weapons, hold your head in your hands, lie down, surrender and avoid death."

"Those who resist with weapons will be killed without mercy!"

The leader of the team is already burly and stout. There is a triangular red flag on the spear in his hand, a small red flag on the helmet gun above his head, and a small backrest flag on his back. This is the symbol of the leader of the Luzon army,

The gun flag, helmet flag, and back flag made him extremely conspicuous on the battlefield, allowing the entire team to see the leader at all times, the high team flag held by the flag bearer during the battle, and the several flags on the captain's body. The small flags are all guides for battle.

Although it is easy to be targeted by the enemy,

But the leader of the team is responsible for starting the war. The death rate of the leader of the Tang Army squadron is very high, but this is also the only way for military attaches to go. The leader of the team who survives the waves is the real elite.

Besides,

Everyone in the team has the responsibility to protect the team flag and captain. If a team loses the team flag and team leader, the entire team will be punished. Even if the team leader dies in battle, the body must be recovered, otherwise the penalty will be increased.

The natives couldn't understand what the big man was talking about.
But from his tone, expression, and gestures, we can still guess some meaning.

The elder looked at the strong man with an ugly expression.
Looking at those small flags, I knew that this person must be the leader of this group of people.
It's a pity that no one in their family understands these Chinese words.
"Afa, you are smart, you can set an example for them."

The team leader waved to Ah Fa.

Afa grinned, walked to the front, and smiled at the trembling natives.

Then he raised the weapon in his hand, showed it, and threw it aside.

Spears, swords, bows, arrows, and even daggers were all thrown away;

They also deliberately threw them far away, gesticulating with their hands and feet while throwing him.

After throwing away the weapon,

Ah Wan untied his leather armor and took it off again, throwing it aside as well.
Finally, he raised his hands behind his head and crossed his fingers to hug the back of his head.

Then he knelt down, and finally his upper body also lay on the ground.
The leader of the team was very satisfied with Ah Fa's demonstration performance. He pointed at Ah Fa who was lying on the ground and shouted loudly to the barbarians,
"Do you see, this is it, that's it, abandon your weapons and surrender, lie on the ground to avoid death!"

After saying that, the team leader was afraid that these guys wouldn’t understand.

He called Ah Fa, reached out and patted him, then took out a piece of dry food from his body and handed it to Ah Fa, indicating that he accepted the surrender. Not only would he avoid death, but he would also get food.

The leader of the team called another soldier.

Let him demonstrate what it means to die for those who resist,

This soldier was armed and refused to surrender. He also carried a spear to resist.
Then the team leader showed the consequences. He held a flag gun and demonstrated in slow motion how he stabbed the rebel to death, and then used a knife to cut off his head.

"Did you see that? Surrender and avoid death. Those who resist will be killed!"

Although there is a language barrier.

But I have to say that the performances by the Black Bear leader and Ah Fa were quite vivid.

The morale of this group of people was already shattered. They couldn't escape or fight.
Being surrounded here, I don't even have the courage to fight anymore.

After watching the banner man's demonstration, they all understood.

"Elder, they want us to surrender."

"They mean that if we surrender, we won't have to die and we'll still have food to eat."

"If you don't throw away your weapons and lie down on the ground, you will be killed and your head will be cut off!"

The seven family heads gathered around the elder, all talking about translation.

But how could the elder not understand.

"These people may not always keep their word," one soldier reminded everyone, but no one listened at this time. In other words, they had lost their fighting spirit and now just wanted to find an excuse for their cowardice.

The elder's eyes scanned the crowd,
Everyone lowered their heads,

Even the soldiers did not dare to look at him at this time.

Although they are the most proficient in fighting in each family, they have no fighting spirit now.
The elder felt a little unwilling in his heart.
But in the end I could only sigh,
If they resist, they will only lose their lives in vain.

"Do as they say,"

The elder said to the seven family heads, his voice was extremely low and weak,
"Throw away the weapons in your hands, and those with leather armor, and throw them away, clasping your heads and falling to the ground."

As soon as the elder finished speaking,

There were sighs among the natives,
There was a sense of loss in this voice, but also a bit of relief.

The clan leader walked out from the middle and came to the front of the two armies. He was the first to throw down his weapon.

Then the seven clan chiefs came out and threw down their weapons.
Then came hundreds of warriors,

Then there are the children of each family, then the middle people, the lower people, and the slaves,
Several hills were piled up with weapons and equipment.

One after another the natives threw down their weapons,
Then he put his head in his hands and lay prone on the ground.

The captain opened his mouth and smiled very happily.

Afa also laughed.

He smiled at the flag bearer and said, "Are we called soldiers who conquer the enemy without fighting?"

The flag bearer smiled.

The enemy surrenders, which is the best result. Live prisoners are more valuable, and the enemy surrenders directly, avoiding fighting and reducing casualties.

In a real fight, if the opponent engages in a trapped beast fight, there will definitely still be casualties.

Now it's so cool to directly force hundreds of people to surrender.

When they all lay down,

The leader of the team shouted loudly, "Brothers, take out your cowhide ropes and tie them up."

A warrior is worth three bolts of silk, and a slave is worth a hundred and fifty coins.

There must be elders and family heads here. An elder is worth two hundred pieces of silk, and a family head is worth a hundred pieces of silk.

"Qitou, screen them carefully and find their elders and clan leaders. These are big fish and are valuable."

Afa smiled and said, "You know, the elders and clan leaders are considered Eastern Star Spots and Rat Spots, their warriors are at most sea bass and yellow croaker, and those auxiliary serfs are red-headed fish and white pomfret and mackerel."

"Hahaha, that's what I mean. Don't mistake the Eastern Star Spot for a red-headed fish. The rewards are a hundred times different!"

Everyone excitedly tied people up with cowhide ropes.
At the last count, there were a total of 517 people, an absolute bumper harvest.

The net caught so much that it exploded. The team leader decided to send a group of people to escort the 517 prisoners back.
The others continued the pursuit.

"Let's keep up the good work and fuck him a few more times,"

But which group of people to escort people back has become a problem. No one wants to go back.
In the end, the team leader had no choice but to ask the five team leaders to draw lots, break off five grass stalks and hold them in their hands. If they drew the shortest one, they would be responsible for escorting the prisoners back.

"Don't worry, if we capture any prisoners, you will have your share."

The five team leaders put the straw stalks together and measured them.
Ah Fa screamed helplessly. His one was the shortest, so he had to take over the task of escorting the prisoners back. The other nine men under him all complained that he was unlucky.

"Brother Fa, why are you so short!"

"Fuck your mother, I'm not short, it's this grass root that is short!"

"Hurry up and pack them up, escort them back, tie those weapons to these prisoners and carry them back," Afa shouted loudly, deciding to seize the time to send the prisoners and the captured people back, and then immediately rush back to catch up with the leader of the team and try to catch them again. A few nets of big fish.

Don't miss this opportunity, it won't come back again!
