Chapter 45: Savior from Heaven
As soon as the Yu family army saw this group of Jiannu, they immediately blocked their way. Without saying a word, they fired their guns in turn. The First Brigade and the Second Brigade had an infantry battalion, which had only four battalions in total, and the total strength was less than 5,000 people.
However, their firepower was still too strong against the Jiannu soldiers who were less than 10,000 people. Although they did not carry artillery in order to speed up their journey, the muskets in their hands still took the lives of these Jiannu soldiers and generals.
The scattered soldiers left by Jiannu had very limited combat power, and their morale had already fallen to the bottom because they learned that their main force was defeated and had no fighting spirit at all.
Especially those Baoyin slaves, who were Han people themselves or the population of some other tribes stolen by Jiannu, were very honest when their masters were powerful, but now they heard that their masters were all defeated by the Yu family army, so they immediately stopped obedience.
Some Baoyun slaves even turned against each other on the spot, taking revenge and complaining, and directly pointed their swords and guns at their former masters, and they were more ruthless than anyone else.
The less than 10,000 Jiannu scattered soldiers were beaten to pieces just after meeting the Yu family army, and they were immediately beaten to pieces, without even a room for resistance, and they were beaten to death. The remaining fewer than six or seven hundred Jiannu were slightly elite. Seeing that the situation was not good, they followed their chief general and began to break through and escape.
|Chang|Wind|Literature www.[c][f][w][x].net However, under the platoon of Yu's army, they were knocked over. Even the slave general who stayed here was knocked off the horse on the spot and lost his anger when he landed on the ground.
In the end, less than 200 Jiannu were able to escape, but under the pursuit of scouts and cavalry companies, they probably could not escape.
Until the Yu family army general appeared in front of these people who were being held back, the people didn't know what had happened. Until a group of North Korean auxiliary soldiers found that something was wrong, the group of soldiers who came were not their Jiannu masters, and they scattered and ran around to hide, some people realized that these soldiers and horses who came here might not be able to rescue them.
So someone plucked up the courage to meet him, knelt on the ground and asked about the identity of the generals of the Yu family army. The Yu family army reported their identity and told them that the Jiannu army had been defeated by them, and most of them had been wiped out by this time. When a small number of people were dispersed, these Ming people who were brought in knew that these people were the Ming army and the general led by the Fujian general Yu Xiaotian.
They traveled thousands of miles and heard the news that they took a boat from Fujian to Tianjin. They blocked the Jiannu army and fought fiercely for half a month. Finally, they defeated the Jiannu army in one fell swoop. Now, these soldiers and generals have come to rescue these people.
When the people heard the news, they burst into tears. This was a timely help! In fact, they had already no hope for the Ming Dynasty and the government army, and had silently agreed to their fate. They followed Jiannu and walked towards the future of their fate, and went outside the pass to act as slaves for Jiannu, and never returned to their hometown or their relatives again.
But what I never expected was that a savior came from the sky here, and a Yu family army appeared. It suddenly defeated the Jiannu army in one fell swoop, and it could even be said to be completely wiped out, blocking them here and saving them.
Almost everyone could not believe their ears, and the news spread suddenly. Within a radius of more than ten miles, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the same radius, flew to get the news. Almost everyone couldn't believe it was true. They asked repeatedly. They did hear the sound of a bean-like musket from afar, but they couldn't believe that anyone could defeat the Jiannu army.
After confirming that they were rescued, all of them sat on the ground immediately, and each started to cry loudly, feeling glad that they had survived in a desperate situation. Then countless people knelt down and kowtowed to the benefactors of the Yu family army and thanked them repeatedly.
Some people almost fainted when they cried. Of course, there were quite a few people who fainted from crying, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Until this time, some people remembered that there were many Koreans who were accomplices of Jiannu, and they called them Goryeo Kanzi. In addition, there were also many bastards among them who served as second or even third or third.
As a result, many new and old hatreds of ordinary people came to their hearts, and they immediately began to identify these guys for the Yu family army. Some of them, who had been suppressing their anger and did not dare to have an attack, even took action directly, grabbed some guys who were harming them, and started to punch them in the turn.
It is really a headache to have these hundreds of thousands of people in chaos together. The soldiers and generals of the First Brigade really struggled until dark, and the situation stabilized.
They finally found more than 3,000 North Korean auxiliary soldiers from the crowd, disarmed them, took them into custody, and killed two or three hundred of the most angry guys in public.
In addition, they also found more than 2,000 guys who were the ones who were a tyrant to Jiannu along the way. The Yu family army was even more polite, stripping naked one by one and hanging them on the tree, allowing the people to deal with them at will.
Poor these more than 2,000 murderers, this time they received retribution. The weather was cold, and they quickly became cold after stripping their clothes. In addition, the people hated them very much, so they grabbed anything that could be thrown and smashed them desperately.
More than two thousand guys, none of whom survived the night, were beaten to death or frozen to death here, which ended their sinful life.
The brigade commander of the First Brigade did not dare to easily deal with the remaining more than 3,000 Korean knots, so he sent someone to ask Yu Xiaotian for instructions. After dark, Yu Xiaotian sent someone to send orders and told them to handle the same way as those bad guys. These Koreans were not worthy of sympathy. Even if they were forced to come, they also committed heinous crimes against the people of the Ming Dynasty, so no matter how they deal with it, they deserved the crime.
So after the evening, the remaining North Korean auxiliary soldiers brought by the captured Jiannu were suddenly rushed up, tied up ropes, and threw them into the crowd in batches. Then, there were another punch and kick, shouting loudly and screaming. Not long after, the more than 3,000 Korean sticks were beaten to death, leaving only dozens of smart guys who were left as prisoners, and they turned around to interrogate them for obtaining some information.
The common people can actually leave at this time, but these people did not leave immediately, because there may be many Jiannu scattered soldiers around them. If they set out on the road like this, they might even encounter these Jiannu scattered soldiers.
So they followed the advice of Yu Family Army and stayed for the time being, waiting for Yu Xiaotian's next order here.
That night, Yu Family Army found some respected or well-educated people from these people, and asked these people to come forward to group hundreds of thousands of people, one thousand people, more or less, and try to be fellow villagers in the hometown. In this way, these people will first manage these people and establish a preliminary order.
In addition, these people were tortured miserably along the way and were even hungry. Many of them were extremely weak and let them scatter and go home. They probably would starve to death on the road if they couldn't get home. So the most important thing now is to supplement them with nutrition and let them have a hot meal first.
Moreover, the weather is very cold now, and many people even snatched cotton coats by Jiannu, and they also had to distribute some cold-proof items to them, saving them one night and freezing many people to death.
All these things need to be arranged. Fortunately, there are military officers in each brigade, who are good at coordinating and arranging such things. Moreover, after the Yu family army arrived here, the first thing was to control a large amount of materials abandoned by Jiannu and not allow anyone to approach, so as not to be stolen by red-eyed refugees.
Moreover, after nightfall, such a thing happened. Many refugees saw Jiannu run away, so they couldn't help but feel greedy and wanted to take some money in the chaos to take it home.
That night, gunfire sounded in the area where supplies were piled up all night. After dawn, I found that many guys who tried to fish in troubled waters were killed.
After nightfall, the Yu family army distributed a large amount of grain from the materials seized by the captives, and asked the people who had already been grouped to collect some food, bury them into the pot to make rice, cook some hot porridge, add some salt, and distribute it to these refugees for a hot meal first. The amount is not large, so they will be overwhelmed to death that night. The hungry people are uncontrollable. If they give them too much food, they may not know how to eat until they can't move and keep themselves alive. This is something that Yu family army has seen a lot of experience before, so they are very experienced. When distributing food, they are only enough to eat half full in one meal, saving people to death.
The next day, Yu Xiaotian brought a baggage battalion, replaced the First Brigade to manage the temporary refugee camp, and brought military supplies and direct pickets to inspect and accept supplies here.
When these people arrived here, they were also shocked by the piles of supplies here. They had seen big scenes. The Yu family army prepared a lot of supplies this Northern Expedition, but after all, it was a batch, planned, classified and organized transfer of materials.
However, the materials I saw here are very, very complicated. It can be said that there are some things I thought of, from gold, silver, jewelry, bronzes, antiques, grain cloths, iron pots and spoons, iron farm tools, various weapons, muskets, cannons, gunpowder, etc. In addition to the few porcelains that are not easy to carry and preserve, almost everything that Jiannu looked at was swept by them and piled up here.
There were also a large number of mules, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and even chickens and ducks. All of them were left here by Jiannu. The abundant supplies and the number of varieties made people dizzy. At that time, the people responsible for receiving these supplies were as big as a fight, and they didn't know where to start for a while.
