"Sir, almost a hundred households."

The men who went out to investigate came back and reported to Wang Yan.

Nodding, Wang Yan turned around and looked at a group of soldiers with different expressions: "The boss of the Li family will stay here and watch the horses. I will take the lead in a while and kill the Jian slaves on guard on the tower first. You are basically veterans, so there is no need." I'll say more. When you see my signal, move quickly and don't make any big noise."

Everyone responded in a low voice: "Yes, sir."

"Follow up."

Wang Yan took out the knife, went around and touched it.

At this time, several soldiers on guard at the door were chatting listlessly at the door. After all, it was so cold at night, and everyone else was eating and drinking inside. They were freezing outside, even though they were on regular duty. , but it was also uncomfortable for him to specify.

While these people were not paying attention, Wang Yan took a running start, kicked his legs, and turned over the two-meter-high fence as light as a swallow. There was a little movement, but those people didn't pay attention, they were all distracted chatting.

Quietly walking to the bottom of the tower, listening to the chatter above, Wang Yan had to say that he looked up to them. Based on the current situation, it would be no problem for him to bring people in by force.

But now that we're here, it's better to play it safe. After all, the fifty people under his command are elites who can draw one out of twenty. They are all made of money, so two or two fewer people will die.

Holding the knife, Wang Yan crouched and slowly and gently walked up the solid wood steps step by step.

The two people were chattering there. Wang Yan didn't understand Manchu, and what they were talking about now was still the old Manchu that old boy Nurhaci had made, which was based on Mongolian. He didn't know any of it. ah.

When he reached the killing range, Wang Yan took a deep breath, exerted force on his waist, and used a series of ergonomic transmissions from his thighs to his feet. He pushed hard and jumped over the last few steps with lightning speed, leaping up the tower. , then bullied him, and directly wiped the neck of the person close to him with a knife, then turned around and turned behind the person, using his other hand to push the person to the other side to avoid making any noise.

Then he thrust forward again, and with the other person's eyes widening, he stabbed the knife through his neck. Drawing the knife, blood spurted out. Wang Yan dodged the spurting blood and went around behind the man to drag him. At this time, another man happened to cover his neck and press over him. The sound of the armor leaves striking did not startle the others at all.

In this way, after Wang Yan touched the other two intersecting watchtowers and cleared them, he took out the fire folder and blew out the dots of light. Seeing the response from the ambush position in the distance, Wang Yan got off the tower and hid in the sky. Close your eyes in the dark and listen quietly.

After a while, there was a burst of messy footsteps and a suppressed sound of "uh-huh" like in the movie, and a group of people sneaked in with knives.

Nothing happened to come out to pee, nothing happened accidentally, Wang Qianhu pointed at the barracks, a group of people holding knives, divided into groups and passed.

After a while, the outpost became lively. The soldiers of Houjin only resisted symbolically and it was over in a moment. Although the weapons were at hand, after all, they were so damn drunk that they could still fight in a daze.

Wang Yan didn't even make a move, he held the knife in angrily manner and watched them hack and kill quietly from outside. Not long after, more than a hundred people were killed.

A group of people groped around for a long time to see if there was any fish that slipped through the net. After the last five Xiaoqi officers counted the battle losses very sensibly, Xiaoqi, who ranked first, reported to Wang Yan.

"Your Majesty, my brothers have suffered some superficial injuries, but none of them are dead."

Wang Yan nodded and said: "Let's make some arrangements, count the harvest, and then make some hot meals with the things here. In addition, go and get our horses."

"Yes, sir."

Everyone took orders and made arrangements in an orderly manner. Those who cooked cooked, those who beheaded beheaded, those who fed horses fed horses, those who treated wounds treated wounds, and those who vomited.

In fact, Wang Yan didn't want to bring heads at first, because it would be a bit awkward to tie so many heads when going out to fight. But Wang Yan thought for a while and decided to bring it. After all, this thing is for military merit. He came out for military merit. Without brain proof, he couldn't justify it. How can I ask Zhu Youxiao for a reward then? How to get promoted?

After seven days of traveling, it was another stressful battle, so after dinner, we arranged for a night watch and everyone fell asleep...

The next day, after breakfast, Wang Yan was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he asked someone to make dry food for another week, and sent someone out to explore other nearby outposts as the next target.

While they were resting, a messenger came and added another level.

They have just taken action now, and a messenger has arrived so far. It is estimated that they will not find it until tonight. So Wang Yan and a group of younger brothers were chatting and laughing, sitting outside to bask in the sun, waiting for the younger brothers who had gone out to come back and spread the news.

That night, they established two outposts.

This is because it was the first time to do it before, and I was tired from marching in a hurry. In addition, some people who have never killed people are not very skilled. Now this second time is not to say that I am familiar with the road, but I have gone through the business process again.

It was also at this time that the senior Houjin officials here discovered that the previous outpost had been massacred. After all, the person who delivered the letter didn't come back and didn't say anything, and the outpost commander who was supposed to report on the work didn't go either. Not even a fool knew that something was wrong.

The next day, it was discovered that two more posts had been massacred. Jia La E Zhen, who was stationed here, was the eldest brother with 1,500 men. After seeing the headless corpses of 300 men, um... he became angry.

He has a total of 1,500 men. In the past two days, he has not fought a single battle and has not even seen the enemy. He has directly reduced the number of soldiers. The commander of one of the outposts is still his brother. This is a bloody feud.

Immediately, 200 people were left as guards, and the remaining 1,000 people were sent out, just to catch this group of people and rip off their skin and cramps. At the same time, he did not forget to report the news to the superiors to prevent this group of thieves from repeating the past.

Wang Yan would definitely have noticed such a big movement when they came out to arrest people. He was not afraid at all. Back then, he brought thousands of people with him to make Japan's various pursuits and blockades ineffective. This small battle was nothing.

Moreover, there were only fifty of them, and their targets were small and unencumbered. Even the worst, the boss of Mr. Li's family, had been specially trained by Wang Yan. He might not be able to fight, but he was definitely good at running.

So Wang Yan led a group of people into the mountains, and he was well versed in the essence of guerrillas. From time to time, he would come out to work in the cold for a while, get some heads and then run away.

It's not that there are no Han people in Hou Jin's territory, but to be honest, the Han people here are just big animals. I won’t go into detail about how miserable those numb faces and empty eyes are. So from time to time he would encounter unprotected or weakly protected villages, and he would kill them. Of course, he would not kill children or women, but only men who were adults or who would become adults in a few years.

Because women are good helpers for future national integration, and children will become strong laborers when they grow up in a few years. As for hating them when you grow up? Maybe it's still not tiring, but if it doesn't work, we can go to Sichuan to build roads and turn the high and low natural chasms into thoroughfares.

Only adults are the greatest short-term threat. By doing this, he can also weaken Houjin's war potential. Although the few people he kills can be ignored, there are too many who can't hold him back.

The losses were accumulated. Gushan Ezhen, who was holding 7,500 men, was the banner leader of Houjin. Seeing that the battle losses were increasing day by day, he could not sit still. These people are all elite veterans who have fought all the way to this point, not new recruits who know nothing.

Moreover, now is the sensitive period of power transfer and a new round of competition for interests. His subordinates have suffered a lot of losses, so how can he stand upright when speaking? So the flag owner directly sent more than 5,000 people out to capture Wang Yan, most of them elite cavalry...

Whether you can do it or not, you have to fight to know. Faced with today's fierce competition, Houjin Iron Cavalry, who refused to accept anyone, found an opportunity and caught a lone team of fifty people, and started to fight one-on-one.

The final result was, of course, the complete annihilation of the opponent, but thirteen of Wang Yan's men also died, six were seriously injured, and the rest suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Because cavalry battles are all about hedging, several of his men died in the first wave of charges, and the rest were the result of subsequent fights. There is still a big beast like Wang Yan here, otherwise he will probably die.

But strictly speaking, although this result is not ideal for Wang Yan, it does prove his achievements during this period. After all, the golden cavalry had basically massacred the Ming cavalry in a one-sided manner.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Ming Dynasty doesn't have cavalry that can compete with it, it can only be said that it is during this period. The Liaodong Iron Cavalry, which was once trained by Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was to beat the Mongols and Jurchens. However, after Li Chengliang disappeared, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry that had dominated the north for 40 years was also useless. And Guan Ning's cavalry, who was later able to fight in the field, is now training. This is one of Governor Yuan's political achievements.

It doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not, the main thing is that the elite No. 49 boy he trained so hard, half of them were destroyed in one battle, which is a bit uncomfortable. Of course, the remaining twenty or so people must be stronger than before, so it can be regarded as another screening.

A man's hand is broken in half, and the rest is wounded. Either he runs away or he fights, and he can't bear it. So Wang Yan took the remaining people and corpses, drove the forty or so captured horses, and the long string of heads tied to the horses, and went through another toss before finally returning to his station.

At this time, a month had passed since the last departure.

Ignoring Sun Fugui's shock, Wang Yan asked him to take people to process more than 500 heads at once to preserve them for a long time. The next day, he went directly to Shanhaiguan to find his eldest brother with the heads.

After the usual announcement, Wang Qianhu was about to kneel on the ground with a skillful and natural click.

This Man Gui did not sit there firmly, but stood in front of Wang Yan. When he saw him saluting, he stopped him and said, "Okay, no need to be more polite. Tell me how the trip went smoothly? How was the harvest?"

After agreeing to Wang Yan to go out, he regretted it the next day. He was still too reckless. How could he be like a child? If everything goes well, everything will be easy to say. But if it doesn’t go well, who the hell can say it’s okay? He won’t take prisoners, he will only die in battle? Who can believe that he talks nonsense? He was always afraid of what might happen, but if there was a real case, he had no doubt that Yuan Chonghuan and other people who supported the peace talks would kill him, and even the emperor would not care about him...

During this month, Man Gui was terrified every day. While praying that Wang Yan could display his strength normally, he couldn't help praying that Wang Yan, a little kid, would have some fucking blood, and he would just die in battle. thing.

The reason why he was not surprised by Wang Yan's sudden invitation was because the person he sent had told him when he came back yesterday, otherwise he would have been a little happy. After all, when he learned the news yesterday, he wanted to get over it directly. Fortunately, he had calmed down after years of ups and downs, and he held it back...

Wang Yan nodded and said: "It went smoothly. More than half of the fifty horses brought by my subordinates were damaged. Don't worry, sir, the bodies have been brought back without leaving any traces. As for the harvest, please move to the backyard..."

"Oh? Have you brought all the heads?" Man Gui said with a smile: "Then let's go and see what your results are this time. If you go back to my channel, I will definitely ask the emperor for credit."

As he spoke, he immediately walked away quickly.

Yesterday his younger brother came back and reported that there were dozens of war horses and many heads. He really didn't know the details.

And when he said to go through his channels, he meant to go to Shu alone and not go through the channels of the cabinet. He would directly submit it to the emperor for inspection, so that it could be kept confidential to the greatest extent.

As for the loss of more than half of the fifty cavalry... Where can there be undead people in a war? Is that a problem?

Wang Yan followed Man Gui leisurely. After all, the situation was complicated. He was negotiating peace in the front and stealing the house in the back. He didn't know how Zhu Youxiao viewed this matter. But the most outrageous thing is that there is no reward, just a training. After all, there are five hundred heads there, so it’s not a big problem.

"You all go down."

Not long after, the two came to the backyard of the General Military Mansion. Wang Yan asked his men to stop in front of the carriage. Without him saying anything, Man Gui waved away the boy who was in charge of the backyard. Although he was trustworthy, it was better not to take risks.

After everyone left, Man Gui looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan nodded to express his understanding, and then said to the two boys driving the car: "Open the box and let the commander-in-chief see our harvest."

"Yes." The two younger brothers responded for a moment, then quickly opened the five large boxes: "Sir, please take a look, there are 528 heads in total."

Smiling and nodding, Mangui stroked his beard and took a closer look. At this glance, a small tuft of beard fell off...

Man Gui stared at the heads in the box with his eyes wide open and looked at the heads with different expressions arranged neatly according to the size of the face and plate. After a long time, he took a long breath and turned to look at Wang Yan: "These are all from this month. In that time, you led fifty people to capture something?"

There is no doubt that Wang Yan killed a good person and took credit. After all, he had dealt with Hou Jin a lot. Isn't it the most basic thing to identify heads? More than five hundred heads, that’s more than five hundred heads...

In the battle of Ningyuan, there were two and a half days of shelling, and a lot of people died. What was the result? The number of heads is less than five hundred. Now, Wang Yan took fifty people and went out for a month and got back more than five hundred pills? And got back dozens of war horses? What the fuck...

"My lord, that's exactly what happened." Wang Yan nodded and said, "If my subordinates hadn't been so eager to make contributions, they had to fight with Jiannu's fifty-man cavalry team because of heavy manpower losses and had to come back. After a while, there would still be Want more."

Man Gui was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask a nonsense question: "Did Wan Wan be injured in a cavalry battle? What was the result?"

"Killed them all, no one escaped, and forty-three horses were captured."

"hiss……"

No wonder Mangui was ignorant, it was really a one-to-one cavalry confrontation. The Ming Dynasty had not had such a record for many years, and they were often defeated in one blow. Although there are only fifty people, the one-to-two battle damage is enough.

"Can others under your command do the same?"

"Sir, I can't." Wang Yan shook his head seriously: "The fifty people this time are the top fifty chosen by my subordinates among thousands of people."

"Okay, okay. With such a record, I will go to Shu to ask for credit for you when I get back."

Mangui didn't pay attention, grinning and stroking his beard in admiration. This is enough, what kind of bicycle do you need?

"Haha, where is it? Aren't the actions of my subordinates still under your wise command?" The two looked at each other tacitly. Wang Yan hesitated and said, "Sir, should we give Wei Zhongxian... something?" Silver...means...means..."

"Well..." Mangui pondered for a moment: "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own ideas. Okay, leave the head here. You have been backlogged for a month and have accumulated a lot of military affairs. Go back and deal with it quickly. I won’t keep you here. Also, don’t go anywhere recently, just stay at the station and wait for news from me.”

Wang Yan cupped his hands and responded: "Yes, sir. Then your subordinate will resign first?"

"Go ahead."

After nodding, Wang Yan bowed again, waved to his two younger brothers, and asked the people from the General Military Mansion to get two horses back to the station.

He knew what Mangui meant, after all, he understood it tacitly. It was this operation, under the wise command of the Manchu Commander in Chief, that lasted for a month, and resulted in the current gains. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was dissatisfied. If he wanted to be disciplined, he would be disciplined by Mangui and not have anything to do with them. If he is satisfied, then Man Zongbing will receive the favor of the Holy Heart, and Wang will be promoted to a higher position.

The reason why he was allowed to leave was because he didn't know what Zhu Youxiao was thinking, and he couldn't act without authorization anymore, which would be a real loss of head.

As for what he said about expressing sympathy with Wei Zhongxian, it was just because the kid was difficult to deal with, not to mention that Wei Zhongxian was still a fucking big kid. Their business was in full swing, and there was no reason why Wei Zhongxian and others in the court didn't know about it.

But Mangui really tied up the entire civil and military affairs of Liaodong. Governor Yuan Chonghuan, the minister of the king, Zhao Lejiao, the other commander-in-chief, Zu Dashou, the deputy commander-in-chief, etc. all had a share of the profits, not to mention Wei Zhongxian. Even Zhu Youxiao is not easy to use. No one has the courage to offend the entire Liaodong.

It would not necessarily be possible if Old Zhu Taizu was there. After all, he really had soldiers in his hands and he really dared to kill. Of course, Wang Yan would not get involved blindly if Old Zhu Taizu was here.

When he returned to the station, Sun Fugui came directly to the door without him looking for it. He didn't ask any questions. After all, Wang Yan went to Shanhaiguan and back for such a long time, so he could find out more by asking other people.

Wang Yan pointed to the chair in the room: "Sit."

Now that the conditions are good, he can throw away the extravagance without being extravagant. The main thing is for comfort. If he buys anything in this house, the last thing he buys in four hundred years will be hundreds of thousands...

When his subordinate brought the brewed tea, Sun Fugui poured Wang Yan a cup first, and then had another cup himself.

Wang Yan took a sip of hot tea and said, "Tell me, how is your recent development? How much money do you have? How much grain and medicinal materials have you saved?"

"Sir, in the month since you left, several batches have been released one after another..."

After Wang Yan left, Mangui asked people to look at the head, then walked back to the room with brisk steps and hummed a tune. Without saying a word, he picked up his pen and wrote a report document with flying colors. Although he had been with Zhu Youxiao's subordinates for several years, he was not sure about the emperor's bloodline, so he did not dare to write a petition for merit. Although he said he didn't care about being scolded, there was something to be said for punishing him more than others, so he just reported the facts.

The fact is that he was wise and powerful, and he saw this transfer of power to the slave establishment, which caused internal instability. He sent his subordinate Wang Qianhu, whose individual combat ability was the best in the nine countries, with a small team of elite troops to carry out sabotage behind enemy lines and contain some of the energy to build slaves. In the end, thanks to his invincible calculation, Wang Qianhu took more than 500 heads in a month...

Afterwards, the secret security was sealed, and his cronies were sent to the capital with five large boxes of heads and three thousand taels of silver notes... quickly.

Of course the bank note is for Wei Zhongxian, I don’t ask him to say nice things, I just ask him to shut up and stop talking nonsense, it’s that simple...

Thank you (Sanju) brother for your continued support.

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly for their support.

Thank you to all the brothers who recommended me for your support,

Thanks to the big brothers who read silently for their support.
