Volume 1 Little Yuanba Chapter 57 Passing Victory and Playing the Flute
When You Sanjiang woke up, he was groggy, as if everything was in a dream.
In a daze, he was still on the horse. He remembered that the horse was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground with a neigh. No wonder it couldn't get off.
Suddenly, I felt something was wrong. I seemed to have been rescued by a few subordinates. I still remember lying on that man's back and smelling the smell of sweat from his body.
So what...?
He tried to move his arms, and "pop", his hands were wet and sticky. "Mom, what the hell is this? It's really unlucky!"
He muttered to himself angrily, opened his eyes with force, and then froze.
He didn't know what the black mattness in front of his eyes was. It took him a while to realize that it was his own hand covered in sticky mud.
"These bastards are acting more and more unruly, and they dare to neglect me!"
You Sanjiang was filled with anger and turned his head to find someone to vent to. Suddenly he saw a tall man standing on a ridge not too far away.
"This... doesn't seem to be one of mine?" He was confused and couldn't remember which team had seen such a burly man.
He closed his eyes hard and opened them again, trying to see more clearly.
He really saw it clearly. He was a man with dark and translucent skin and eyes full of disdain. He looked much darker than himself.
His steps were firm and powerful, and he was followed by two warriors holding spears.
You Sanjiang's whole body tensed up. He remembered that he had said before the battle that he would put a bounty on that big black man's head!
He hurriedly wanted to stay away from this place, but found himself lying under the cofferdam of a large pond. Six or seven steps ahead was the water surface.
The sparkling water makes You Sanjiang feel friendly. We are the people who have been named before the Dragon King in You Sanjiang!
He struggled to get up, but unexpectedly a sharp pain shot through his body, causing him to scream and fall down again.
The cry of pain attracted people's attention. "Look, there is a living one there!" A spear-wielding warrior shouted to his companions.
Now even the big black guy saw the pile of mud pricking his hands and feet beside the reeds.
They approached quickly, and You Sanjiang waved his hands to stop them, but the pain in his lower body was too much. He kept letting out short roars in his throat, and his body swayed left and right in the mud, like a struggling fish thrown on the river beach.
"Oh my God, this man can't be saved!" The warrior who got there first put his spear on the ground, lowered his head to observe his injuries, then turned back and said loudly:
"Brother Hei, his legs are broken, and his crotch seems to have been smashed by something. It's all rotten!"
Kuroki walked over to take a look, but he didn't know who it was. The formation was far away and facing the sun, he couldn't see the other side clearly.
When You Sanjiang saw him at that time, firstly, because as the commander-in-chief, he chose a high place and was on horseback, and secondly, because he had focused on the central army.
Kuroki shook his head: "What a pity for a man, let's give him a good time."
"No, no!" You Sanjiang's voice was weak: "I am a general, a general."
"What did he say?"
"What kind of general is he talking about?"
Kuroki straightened up and snorted to the sky.
The enemy general he knew was the You Sanjiang that Li Dan often mentioned, but he didn't have the skills and wasn't sure whether this guy was the same person.
"Who cares? He won't survive anyway. Is this made of mud and blood? Should you two carry it back or carry it back?"
The members of the two militia groups immediately curled their lips after hearing this, looking reluctant.
"In that case, aren't the living and the dead the same?" After he finished speaking, he said condescendingly to You Sanjiang with his customary contemptuous attitude:
"Instead of suffering, it's better to help you escape and get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible. Don't be a thief and suffer this sin in the next life!"
"No, no, listen to me..." You Sanjiang was about to speak, but Heimu was impatient. He waved his hand and immediately stabbed a spear into his abdomen.
"It's just a waste of your strength to ask you to practice more. You can't even stab a dying person lying here right now. Go away!"
The other man pushed away his embarrassed companion, stepped forward with a grunt, and stabbed You Sanjiang hard on the neck.
"Did you see? Learn from me, you are such a young boy! Don't be stunned, go and take off his head! I am not a corps commander for nothing, and you, my dear, must not be dissatisfied again in the future!"
He pushed away his companion who turned red with embarrassment, took Heimu a few steps away, and whispered: "Brother Hei, don't you think this mustache is really the one from You Sanjiang?"
"Who knows? The beards look a bit similar. You can tell if you take them back and show them to the prisoners for identification."
After Kuroki finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and shouted to Tuan Ding, who had just turned the body over and pulled out the machete from behind:
"Hey, brother, that guy's chainmail is pretty good, don't break it, take it off first!"
When they climbed up the cofferdam again, Heimu Xiangzhong's pair of chainmail was tied up with strips of cloth and was placed on the tip of the young regiment's spear, with You Sanjiang's pair of thick-soled cowhide boots hanging on top - this was
A trophy he kept for himself.
The corps commander looked proudly at his newly acquired pair of cowhide engraved wristbands. You Sanjiang's head, with his hair tied on the tip of the spear, swayed back and forth with his pace, his mouth slightly open, and his face seemed to be full of joy.
Reluctantly.
At noon, about a hundred people from the official army and part of the rear camp who stayed in the temple rode their livestock down the mountain and continued to clean the battlefield and bury the corpses. The remaining troops returned to the temple to rest and eat. Li Dan took a nap and returned to the Temple of the Heavenly King.
At this time, the cleaning of the battlefield had not yet been completed, and Mr. Master Ba already had rough statistics.
The camp where gunners were originally trained currently holds more than 600 prisoners, including more than 700 heads.
In the past two days, more than 1,600 weapons, 120 sets of armor, and more than 30 horses and livestock were seized. The fine gold and silver turned over were equivalent to more than 900 taels.
This does not include the officers and soldiers. Their numbers have not been combined yet. However, Li Dan had made an agreement with Sheng Huai'en beforehand. He attacked the enemy camp from behind and captured and distributed all the seizures and distributions to Sheng, so Li Dan also
Not going to ask.
He invited the three Yingzhengs and Ma Jiu to discuss the distribution of these things. First, all those who did not have weapons such as bamboo spears and wooden sticks were equipped with weapons, then the damaged ones were replaced, and the rest were recorded and handed over.
The gold and silver were finely divided into four parts, with each battalion taking one. However, Li Dan gave more than 60% of the share from the front camp to Ma Jiu, asking him to distribute it to the escort team, the archery team and the remaining officers and soldiers.
In exchange, except for the nine healthy mules taken away by the three battalions, the front camp kept most of the livestock.
Li Dan laid an ambush here, and the armor told the outside world that the firearms brigade (fire gun squadron and bronze cannon squadron) temporarily borrowed part of it (the same as fire gun and bronze cannon) and would hand it over after arriving in Shangrao, but it did not explain how much it borrowed.
In addition, among the weapons, he asked Mr. Master Ba to leave more than thirty bows, but they were not included in the list.
As soon as a few people finished talking about the carving up, they heard cheers and cheers outside.
Li Dan hurriedly ordered Mao Zaidi to go out and take a look. In a blink of an eye, the little guy ran back and said excitedly:
"Brother Hei came back and took the head of the enemy general You Sanjiang. He said that he had taken it to the prisoners to identify him, and there was no doubt that it was him!"
Everyone in the room jumped up, and as soon as they reached the door, they saw Heimu happily walking in a swarm (Gu Da), surrounded by Yang Yi, Zhao Jingzi and others.
Seeing Li Dan kneel down on one knee: "My subordinates led people to search by Beixiatang. Thanks to the powerful defense, they found Yu Sanjiang." After that, he recounted the original situation at that time:
"Later, some captured soldiers said that they felt that they would not survive traveling to Sanjiang and were afraid of dragging themselves down, so they abandoned him by the pond."
Gu Dadao, who was next to him, said: "Brother Hei just took me on horseback to the pond to see the corpse. The guy was hit by a bullet in the lower abdomen first, and the horse was also shot and fell down. His leg was broken by the horse."
Even if I carry him back, I won’t be able to heal him tonight, Brother Black did the right thing!”
"Okay! Very good!" Li Dan was very happy and asked Mr. Ba to get ten taels of silver: "Take it and divide it with the two brothers!"
"Well, I took that guy's chainmail back and presented it to you, sir!" Kuroki took a tray from Zhao Jingzi behind him and held it up high.
Li Dan waved his hand and said, since it is yours, I will reward you!
Xiao Wanhe, Zhou Qin, and Tan Zhongxiao all agreed. Without any hesitation, they gathered around and helped him put it on. Everyone cheered in unison, saying that he was a great warrior!
I was very happy to have won the battle, and had money to share. The whole camp was filled with joy.
The villagers in Quanshui Village are also happy and can finally go home safely.
The monks breathed a sigh of relief. It was God's blessing that this battle did not harm them!
Tongzhi solemnly led two or three monks beside the official road to chant sutras for the fallen. Lian Xingwu also respectfully put incense on each Buddha statue and added sesame oil to the lamp.
Li Dan saw Shi Mao sighing repeatedly while facing the battlefield at the foot of the mountain with his hands on his sleeves. He stepped forward and asked strangely: "Old monk is going downstairs to recite sutras. Why don't you join in the fun?"
Shi Mao looked back at him and saw that Li Dan had a double penis hanging behind him and a shark skin sheathed Yanling knife hanging from his waist. This set of equipment originally belonged to Captain Zhu and was captured by Zhou Qin and presented to Li Dan.
"The defense is so impressive!" he cheered.
"I didn't have prestige originally, but I have it since I won the battle."
Shi Mao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, I can also use the defensive skills to attack!"
Li Dan laughed loudly: "Xiao Ji'er, I am just happy after winning." After saying that, he nodded and reminded him: "Brother, you haven't answered my question yet?"
"I'm just a cultivator who has the heart to worship Buddha. How can I have the strength to save others?" Shi Mao waved his hand modestly.
"Then you are here... you are not composing poetry?"
Shi Mao's face turned slightly red: "It's just a slight feeling, it has not yet been written into a poem. Besides," he looked at the dashing young warrior:
"The bloody rain has stopped, the bloody wind has stopped, and there are still shouts of murder in my ears. Alas, writing poetry now is a bit...?"
"The sudden attack of the sharp sword scares the flying birds, and the movement of the grass reveals the murderous intention. The three armies broke through the sesame oil village, and the sound of the kapipe was played in the mountain pond. The small sword dyed the spiritual rock, and the setting sun and haze painted the red cliff. After victory, we discuss foreign affairs, and I feel proud when I meet you.
Yu Jinxi."
After twirling his beard for a long time, Shi Mao bowed to Li Dan and crossed his hands: "A great talent in defense is not as good as Mao!"
Li Dan chuckled and touched Shi Mao with his hand: "I see Maocai (Shi Mao), your heart is in the mortal world! It is impossible to be a real practitioner."
Shi Mao was speechless and let out a long sigh: "Beautiful Mao Ben, how could you live in Qingdeng?"
"Oh? Brother, there is something in your words, would you like to tell me in detail?"
"This..., would you like to take the time to sit down in a humble house?"
Seeing that he really extended his arms to invite me, Li Dan also became serious: "The pure land of Buddhism, wait until I get armed and then follow you in."
After saying that, he waved Heimu and Mao Zaidi over to help him remove the double penetration and Yan Ling knife. He took only Mao Zaidi and went with Shi Mao to the bridal chamber where he stayed in the temple.
It is divided into three rooms by a cliff hole, but no one lives on either side. It is said that people come and go, and even Shi Mao himself can't remember how many neighbors he has changed.
The room is only about seven steps wide and about ten steps deep.
It's a little dark inside. With the oil lamp lit, you can see a bamboo bed inside, with two bamboo hats placed at the head of the bed.
Outside is a square table made of the same bamboo, but next to it are two elegantly carved square stools.
Shi Mao was boiling water and making tea at the stove outside. When he saw Li Dan looking at the two stools curiously, he said with a smile:
"My little hobby made the defense laugh. Defense, please have tea."
As he spoke, he held up a jade-glazed lotus bowl and placed it in front of him. A cluster of green leaves inside slowly stretched out, the color of the water gradually deepened, and a rich flavor filled the air.
"Good tea, good utensils!" Li Dan shouted softly as he leaned over to observe. He looked up at Shi Mao and asked with a smile, "Is it possible that this is also your little hobby?"
"The defensive vision is really..."
"Hey, wait." Li Dan stopped him:
"I'm at your house tonight. There is no defense here. You are Brother Maocai and I am Li Sanlang. How about it?"
