Chapter five hundred and sixtieth first-level fattening pig
Luo Keduo and Zakka were startled by the explosion and thought that the Ming army had set up an ambush ahead, but soon found that things were not what they thought. It was accurate to say that the army did not set up an ambush ahead, but there were indeed Ming army, or the enemy suspected of Ming army, attacking the Qing army.
The soldiers of Zhengbai Banner were attacked. The soldiers led the team leader came over with a sad face and roughly told Prince Ping about the attack.
According to the leader of the Zuo, his dozen vests were suddenly attacked by more than a dozen enemy soldiers while exploring the road ahead. They first threw down something similar to firecrackers, and then the thing exploded in the vest soldiers, and the iron nails shot out injured seven or eight people. Suddenly, the horses were alarmed by the explosion, and the vest soldiers could not control their mounts and immediately became a mess. The enemy soldiers were at a high place from the forest to shoot arrows at them. In the chaos, several enemy soldiers sneaked over and cut off the heads of the injured vest soldiers, and then retreated under the cover of the remaining enemy soldiers. Then they ignored the remaining vest soldiers and ran to the mountain quickly. From the attack to the enemy soldiers, the enemy soldiers were withdrawn for a short time. When the Zuo tied with a large group of people came, the enemy soldiers had long disappeared.
"So, you are a thief and didn't even catch him!"
Luo Keduo patiently listened to Zuo Ling's words and found that the other party was a bandit who didn't even catch it. Instead, he injured seven or eight people and had six heads cut off. His face turned gloomy.
"Prince, those bandits are very familiar with the terrain, and the servants' men are really unable to catch up with them."
The Zuo Ling saw that Prince Ping looked ugly and his heart was trembling. He forced another thing down and did not dare to say anything else. After he brought his men to the mountain, he sent a team of soldiers to search. As a result, the enemy soldiers had already dug several pits on the mountain, and were filled with bamboo guns stained with poison. Four soldiers accidentally fell into the pit. When they pulled it up, they found that although it was not a fatal injury, the wounds were all black and the blood flowed out changed color. Not long after, the four soldiers swallowed.
According to the Han army leading the way, the bamboo gun was probably stained with deadly snake venom. Therefore, the Han army speculated that the enemy soldiers just now might not be the Ming army in Hunan, but the Miao people or Yao people on the nearby mountains. Because neither the Qing army nor the Ming army would use poisonous arrows in battle, nor could they collect deadly venom. Only those natives would do such things.
What did the Yao Miao natives attack our Qing soldiers?
The subordinate couldn't understand that although the Qing soldiers had many harms to the places since they entered Guizhou, those natives lived in deep mountains and hills during the Ming Dynasty, especially the two sides of the official roads were not inhabited by the Han people. Therefore, the Han people suffered more and few locals suffered less. Therefore, these natives had no reason to attack the Qing soldiers. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty had many comforts to the chieftains in various places. Those chieftains, like the Ming army who surrendered to the Qing army, were mostly fence-bearers, and they would surrender to the ones who were strong. The Qing Dynasty did not destroy them. It was their ancestors who accumulated virtue and hid at home and were secretly happy. Now, why did they eat the bear heart and leopard courage and dare to send people to attack the Qing soldiers?!
The leader of the Zuo Ge originally wanted to report this to Prince Ping, but seeing that Prince Ping's face really didn't dare to get into trouble, he pressed down.
"The Han people are treacherous and dare not compete with our Manchu and Mongolian warriors with dignity. They have to do something sneaky, which is shameless!"
Zaka gritted his teeth. The leader did not dare to say that the venom of the bamboo gun and snake were trapped in the back, so he only thought that the enemy soldiers attacked were small groups of people sent by the Ming army, and the purpose was to harass and delay their march.
Luo Keduo asked the Zuo Ling with a gloomy face: "Have you ever discovered which direction the enemy soldiers have fled?"
"this"
Na Zuo Ling couldn't say anything. When the vest soldiers under his command were attacked, he thought they were ambushed by the Ming army and were just guarding themselves for protection. He didn't expect that the opponent would run away after he succeeded, so no one paid attention to where the enemy soldiers ran.
Seeing that the leader of the sect didn't even know that the people were running away, Luo Keduo whipped him up in anger and cursed: "Baste! The two white flags are all waste!"
The Zuo Ling was whipped by the prince, and he dared not speak out. He knelt on the ground and knocked his head to the ground and did not dare to move. The few soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner who were also kneeling on the ground, kneeling on the same side as the Zuo Ling knelt on the ground, but everyone was angry in his heart: If the Regent and Prince Rui were still there, you, Prince Pingbi, dare to say that the two of us white banners were useless!
A whip would be useless. He died and injured. No enemy soldiers were caught. Luo Keduo was angry and felt that this fact was too embarrassing. Seeing that it was too late, he simply ordered the camp here. Then he ordered the soldiers to search everywhere. He found that there were people living in villages, regardless of the elderly, weak, women and children. This was a warning to the Ming army that attacked the Qing army, which annoyed the Qing soldiers, but they were not allowed to stay!
Luo Keduo's order surprised Zaka. He believed that even if he was injured by the Ming army, the losses could be ignored. The correct way would be to send orders to continue the march, then strengthen vigilance, and send more horses to patrol in the front. In this way, even if there are small groups of Ming army attacks, it will not affect the speed of the army's marching. In this way, he would definitely be able to camp at Pingxiyi before dark, instead of camping in the wilderness where there is no village in front of the village and not relying on the shop. If the army camps here, Zaka can be sure that the Ming army is happy, because the purpose of sending people to attack is to delay the army's advance. The Qing army did not leave and did not follow their wishes.
Zaka really wanted to persuade Luo Keduo not to lose his mind because of his anger. It is meaningless to send troops to search for nearby villages. Killing all the nearby people can relieve their anger. What impact will it have on the Ming army? Do those Ming army really value these people these days?
Zaka wanted to persuade him, but Ke Luo Keduo couldn't speak even if he told him that way. Although he grew up together and was as close as a brother, he was also the prince of Manzhou in the Qing Dynasty, and was his master of Zaka. He would be honest in his master's order, as a slave, he would still be honest in his servant.
The king ordered to search for nearby villages. Although the generals and subordinates were surprised and felt something was wrong, the soldiers were very happy. At that moment, there were two subordinates of Zhenglan Banner and one subordinate of Zhengbai Banner left the official road and searched everywhere under the leadership of the Han army. But they soon discovered that as they penetrated into the mountains, there were beacon smoke rising everywhere on the mountains, and in some places there was no smoke rising, but a conspicuous tree suddenly fell down.
The beacon smoke was obviously a signal, and the sudden fall of the tree seemed to send some signal to other places. The soldiers were confused. Could it be that there was still a large group of Ming troops hidden in the mountain?
With this idea, the soldiers naturally became nervous. However, except for the rising smoke of beacon and falling trees, there was no Ming army coming out. The soldiers finally discovered the nearby village. However, after they rushed into the snatching their son happily, they found that the whole village was empty. Not to mention people, even a mother dog, could not be seen by a chicken. When they smashed open the doors of the villagers' houses and rushed in, the rice jar was clear and turned the inside of the house to the sky, and they could not even find the quilt!
All signs in the village indicate that the village was inhabited before, but they retreated before the Qing army arrived.
The soldiers finally understood who the rising beacon smoke and the falling big trees were sending signals to.
The soldiers who had found nothing returned to the military camp beside the official road in dejectedly. Before leaving, the soldiers could not hold back their anger and set fires everywhere in the village. Soon, the naked eye could clearly see the fireworks rising from the sky in the mountains on both sides of the official road, which was thicker and bigger than the beacon smoke that was straight up to the sky.
Knowing that the troops sent out had nothing to find, Luo Keduo's face was almost distorted because he was too angry.
"These damn bad guys!"
Prince Ping could only curse the people who were honestly staying in the village and letting the Qing soldiers pass the sword.
Prince Ping of the Qing Dynasty gritted his teeth and cursed the people and the unruly people. In a dense forest that was only seven or eight miles away from his location, a group of men dressed in Miao stood in front of a team of Ming troops. The Miao people led the handed the few heads they had just obtained to the officers of the Ming army.
"Sir, this is the head we cut, you can test it!"
"No, really Tartar!"
