Blood from Daming

Chapter 541 Looting
Zuo Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words of his own soldiers. It seems that the resistance of the Jianlu Bannermen was still limited, and then the escort Xue Jiajun sent 29 Jurchen women to Zuo Ming's boat. Many of these women were crying. Zuo Ming took a look at the 29 women and was a little disappointed. They were all inferior goods with rough skin and thick flesh. Zuo Ming waved his hand and ordered the navy to lock up these women.

Seeing that the general was interested in women, Zuo Ming's personal soldiers impatiently begged for orders to join the main force to serve the general again. Zuo Ming understood what the personal soldiers meant, so he forced them to use it for lunch, and explicitly ordered the personal soldiers to come back to serve the general. A fleet of men cannot be too far from a naval fleet.

Then there were two teams of Xue Jiajun escorting the women back with belongings. Zuo Ming reluctantly picked two decent-looking Jurchen girls there. Zuo Ming's personal soldiers immediately locked up the two girls alone, but Zuo Ming was still sulking. The gap between this girl from Jianlu and the girl from North Korea is really too big. How come this kid Wang Erwa got Cui Ai? A doorway has been paved in the young master's harem.

By the end of the night, all the Xue family troops had returned, and the trophies were: more than 100 cattle, sheep, mules and horses, more than 120 catties of Liao Shen, more than 3000 pieces of various wild animal furs, and 590 Jurchen women, including a little girl. There are more than 170 people.

The Xue family army massacred more than 400 Jurchen men and women and Liao people with hair-shaved hair, and burned down three to four hundred wooden houses in Dianbao, a seventeen village, as well as a large area of ​​grassland and countless hills. However, the Xue family army also paid three sacrifices, 77 people The price of injury, after Zuo Ming selected nine women, he locked up more than 170 little girls, and distributed more than 400 Jurchen adult women to the Xue family army on each ship to enjoy, so the soldiers rushed to eat the meat that was not fully cooked For beef and mutton, they hurriedly queued up to relax with the Jurchen women, killing the evil fire that had been suppressed for nearly half a month.

Zuo Ming sat on the bow and watched the boat head towards the upper reaches of the Yalu River. However, the brothers Xue Jiajun in the fifteen warships were still busy, but he had no interest in these Jurchen women. Instead, he was more excited about how to kill the Jurchens. Zuo Ming By dawn, the fleet had traveled up for nearly forty miles.

As soon as the fleet docked on the west bank, the officers and soldiers of the Xue family rushed away from the ship as if they had taken an aphrodisiac, and moved towards the predetermined target according to their respective division of labor. , The explosive sound of the explosive package rang again.

The residences of the banner people who built the Yalu River are relatively simple, and most of them are some fences. Many of the Jurchens along the river escaped, and the rest focused their eyes on the land. Most of them did not expect the Ming army to come from the river.

The resistance of the Jurchen Bannermen was more intense than the previous day. However, the soldiers of the Xue family army had rich experience. When encountering places that could not be attacked by fire, they used grenades to serve them. In the afternoon, the surrounding Jurchen Bannermen were wiped out by Xue Jiajun.

On the second day, the Xue family's army got a total of trophies: more than 300 cattle, sheep, mules and horses, more than 80 catties of Liao Shen, 210 pieces of various wild animal furs, and more than 90 Jurchen women, including more than [-] little girls.

Xue's army killed about 900 Jurchen men and women and Liao people with hair-shaved hair, and burned down 50 wooden houses in [-] villages, Dianbao, and a large area of ​​grassland. Xue's army sacrificed [-] soldiers in the battle, and more than [-] people were injured. It is said that the harvest was much less than that of the first day, and Xue Jiajun's loss was also much greater.

Zuo Ming didn't have much hope for tomorrow's robbery, but after the soldiers had dinner, they still ordered to move towards Manpu. The soldiers of the Xue family army who had worked hard all day still followed yesterday's rules and lit lanterns as usual. When it was almost dawn, the fleet of the Xue family army came to the Manpu River.

Many officers gathered around Zuo Ming. They wanted Zuo Ming to propose to expand the scope of the attack on the Jianlu tribe, but Zuo Ming rejected this suggestion, and only agreed to attack the Jianlu tribe within [-] miles along the Yalu River. After the mission, they quickly retreated to the ship. After all, today is the third day of a large-scale attack on Jianlu, and maybe Jianlu's reinforcements will arrive soon.

After more than 2000 Xue's troops were released, a radius of tens of miles soon became a sea of ​​flames. However, Zuo Ming noticed that there were very few explosions from grenades and explosives. The target moved very quickly. After completing the scheduled tasks, the various units of the Xue family army returned to the ship one after another at noon.

On the third day, Xue Jiajun’s trophies were only: more than 700 cattle, sheep, mules and horses, more than ten catties of Liao Shen, more than 3000 pieces of various animal furs, and more than 70 Jurchen women. Xue Jiajun only killed more than 400 Jurchen men and women, but burned them. There are 23 wooden houses and grasslands in Dianbao, 40 villages. Only more than [-] Xuejiajun were injured in the battle, and no soldiers died.

Zuo Ming got a report from his subordinates that most of the Jurchens here had run away. The Xue family army did not receive much resistance. Except for the confiscated property and women, they just set fire to the fort and destroyed it. look like.

After three days of burning, killing and looting the Jianlu tribe, the fifteen warships of the Xue family's army fleet were filled with cattle, sheep, mules, horses, property and women. Zuo Ming ordered the soldiers to go down the river to Yizhou Prefecture and Xue's army after having lunch. The three-masted warship "Yellow River", the flagship of the Navy, converged.

Just when Zuo Ming commanded the fleet to go down the river, there was a lot of dust in the west of Jianlu. Zuo Ming looked through the binoculars and estimated that there were at least [-] Jianlu cavalry rushing to the Yalu River where he was sailing. An hour later, Jianlu's cavalry chased them up along the banks of the Yalu River.

Zuo Ming felt very angry and funny. Seeing that three or four thousand Jianlu cavalry gathered behind the west side of his fleet, they were biting the Xue family's fleet. The starboard and tail guns fired at the pursuing Jianlu.

The stability of firing guns while sailing is very poor, but the advantage is that the cavalry density of Jianlu is very high. Xue Jiajun's artillery always has one or two shots falling into the crowd of Jianlu's people every ten shots. Solid bullets can take the lives of one or two Jianlu, and many Jianlu were injured. Whether they were dead or alive, these people looked very terrifying. They were either missing arms or legs, or they were bloody and mutilated. On the ground, some Jianlu even lost their heads.

When the chasing Jianlu killed or wounded 50 people, and more than a dozen horses fell to death, the chasing Jianlu finally gave up and slowed down the pursuit of the Xuejiajun fleet, only outside the firing range of the Xuejiajun fleet's artillery Followed, but these Jian captives were already exhausted, so they had to watch the Xue family's army fleet row all the way down the river.

On May 23, Zuo Ming led the fleet of the Xue family army back to the river in Yizhou City. Wu Yang, the governor of the second fleet of the Xue family army, immediately came to pick up Zuo Ming in a small boat. The twenty or so Jurchen women I selected were brought to the battleship "Yellow River" to avoid being ruined by those soldiers who don't know what to do.

Zuo Ming asked in the boat: "Wu Dudu, are the North Korean troops here?"

Wu Yang said: "General Zuo, there was dust on the east side of Yizhou City last night. It is estimated that the vanguard of North Korea has arrived. There should be an envoy from North Korea to contact us today."

Zuo Ming asked: "Well, how is the situation in Yizhou City these days?"

Wu Yang replied: "Since the general left, the general will let the battleship "Yellow River" fight three or four times every morning, noon and evening. By the way, the artillerymen of the other five warships are also transferred to the battleship "Huanghe" to practice. Uiju City The Jianlu came out of the city a few times, but every time the artillery commanded by the last general killed many of them, and Jianlu was no longer seen in the past two days."

"puff" "puff"

Zuo Ming, who had just approached the "Yellow River" battleship, heard the soldiers behind him shouting that a Jurchen woman had dived into the water. Zuo Ming turned around and saw the soldiers behind them in a mess. The soldiers on the side reported that two Jurchen women were trying to escape by diving. Zuo Ming thought to himself that he might be looking for death. A few days ago, he saw that the belts of the Jurchen women were very loose, and he thought that the women of Jianlu had a weak sense of chastity.

Zuo Ming saw that the soldiers under him were busy hunting for people, Zuo Ming thought for a while and said to the soldiers: "Let's pass on the order. Since the mother Jianlu is willing to seek death, I will fulfill them. Just ask if anyone else is willing to go with him to the Yalu River." God’s brides, let’s send them on the road together.”

Then Zuo Ming, with the help of the sailors of the "Yellow River" battleship, boarded the cabin of the "Yellow River" battleship, and Wu Yang said, "General Zuo, these women were carefully selected by the general from the prisoners of Jianlu."

Zuo Ming nodded and said, "Yes, it's a pity that the goods are really bad."

Wu Yang said: "Most of the Jurchen women are thick and dark-skinned. There is no comparison to the women in North Korea. Since the general likes beautiful women, the general will look for him in North Korea for the general."

Zuo Ming said: "Wu Dudu, you misunderstood. It's not that I want some beauties, but to find one or two stunning chicks for my young master, so as to show the loyalty of my subordinates."
