Chapter 270 If you have any responsibility, I, Wang Yue, will shoulder it!
It was already afternoon when Wang Yue woke up from his horse.
He was really drunk last night, but before that, he had already instructed Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng to take him away secretly while Mu Cong's people were drunk. .
In this way, they had at least half a day to get rid of Mu Cong and set off in advance.
Because of Mu Cong's abnormal behavior these days, Wang Yue felt suspicious of Mu Cong.
That's why this is the worst strategy and march in advance.
"Where are you now?"
"Go back to General, we are already in Heyang now. If you walk forward, you will be Baihe River."
Wang Yue looked at The map in the water was clearly drawn on the map.
Wang Yue immediately understood the location of the army.
"Continue to move forward." Wang Yue said, looking back.
"Are there anyone in the army who are unacceptable to the local environment or are stung by snakes and insects, and are not feeling well?"
Zhang Yong, who was in charge of the military supervisor, shook his head: "No, none of them." "Is that so? That went quite smoothly." Wang Yueshu was feeling at the same time, and he was a little confused.
Logically speaking, those who stay in the northern plains all year round will feel a little uncomfortable when they come to this deep mountains and forests.
But unexpectedly, no one of them had any reaction to being unacceptable to the local environment for more than 300,000 people.
What's even more surprising is that there has not been any accidental sting of snakes and insects.
This smooth progress can only be attributed to the blessing of our ancestors.
What Wang Yue didn't know was that this was because the effect of the blessings of the ancestors Zhu Youzhang signed in before had already played a role.
Just as the army was marching normally, a galloping arrow suddenly shot from all directions.
"Ah!"
"Yeah!"
"Uh..."
In an instant, dozens of soldiers in the army fell to the ground.
Because the camp was wearing heavy armor, the hidden arrows could not hurt them at all.
But the other soldiers were not so lucky. More than a dozen soldiers from the San Thousand Battalions and the Fifth Army Battalions, as well as more than a dozen logistics supply personnel, screamed and fell to the ground.
Wang Yue looked around and saw figures swaying among the surrounding mountains and forests, appearing in a hurry, and disappearing quickly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
"Swish! Swish!"
"..."
In a flash, the muskets, bows and crossbows of Shenji Camp and the Fifth Army Camp were launched at the same time, and they rushed towards the shaking branches.
Some muffled groans came from the opposite side, and several Annan people who were attacking sneaked down.
At this time, the soldiers shouted in shock and anger from the army.
"General Wang! The arrow is poisonous!"
"Ah?!"
Wang Yue turned over and dismounted and came to the wounded to check the wound. He saw that the arrow was short and small, but the wound was bleeding.
And the injured man's face quickly turned purple, his lips were also blue, his expression was dull, and he drooled in his mouth, which was obvious symptoms of poisoning.
"Shenji Camp, chase!"
Wang Yue immediately ordered a team of soldiers from Shenji Camp to pursue the enemy.
"Yes, general!"
Soldiers from Shenji Camp took the order and rushed towards the place where the figures flashed, chasing them relentlessly.
Under the crushing of absolute strength, after the sound of a musket, many soldiers who went to pursue returned safely.
"Return to the general, a total of 46 enemy troops were killed, all dressed up by villagers and did not wear armor."
"I know, keep moving forward and walk out of this piece as fast as possible at the fastest speed Forest.”
Wang Yue nodded and issued another order to march.
Faced with the Annan natives who fought guerrillas in the deep mountains and forests, although they had an army of 100,000.
But just like the cannon hitting a mosquito, it has nowhere to use it.
These Annan people didn't fight them head-on at all, they just hid in the forest and kept firing poisonous arrows at them.
They have many people, unfamiliar roads, and the harsh environment, so they cannot give full play to the advantage of large people.
The best way now is to continue moving forward regardless of the situation and specifically target the big cities in Annan to attack.
They are people in Annan who can run, but the city cannot.
What they have to do is to destroy Annan's main force, rather than fighting guerrilla warfare with these straitors.
Wang Yue led his large army and advanced all the way. On the mountain road, he encountered a village built on the roadside.
See from the map, this village is called Niutouzhai, which is the largest Annan village near Jianshui Prefecture.
When you approach this Niutou Village, you can see that in the dilapidated village, there are only hundreds of villagers working, all of whom are women and children.
A strangeness is everywhere in such a village in the deep mountains and old forests.
First of all, there are no elderly people in this village, and the oldest is no more than fifty years old.
And there are no young people in this village. The oldest children are no more than ten years old, and most of them are girls.
Even in a chaotic world, it is a strange thing for young and strong men to be so lacking.
Could it be that all the men in the village went to work in the fields and no man in the village was left?
As Wang Rui leads his subordinates to approach the village, something even more strange happened.
These women and children did not panic when they saw the Ming army with neat military preparations, nor did they scream and escape.
They looked particularly calm, and the expression on their faces did not change at all. They just watched the Ming army approaching without any reaction.
These women and children have pale faces, ragged clothes, and even their hair looks like dead grass.
It is said that ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty lived a hard life, but compared with this small country in Annan, the lives they lived were the lives they dreamed of.
Faced with such a dilapidated village, Wang Yue did not want to make things difficult for the local people, and ordered the army behind him to prevent invasion of the village and accelerate his walk past the village.
But while the team was marching, a sudden change occurred in the village.
The women and children suddenly took out their bows and arrows and blew arrows from somewhere, and launched an attack on the Ming army that was close to them.
A series of poison-tempered arrows shot into the dense crowd with the sharp sound of the wind, causing a large number of casualties to the Ming army.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
"It's them, it's these women and children who are attacking!"
"On the arrow It's poisonous, save me, save me quickly! ”
"..."
In an instant, the army at the waist was in chaos, soldiers screamed, war horses neighed, and countless casualties were killed or injured.
At the same time, a large number of soldiers, after discovering that the women and children in the village took the lead in taking action, stepped forward with their knives and launched a counterattack. Wang Yue, who was walking in front, asked in surprise after hearing the noise behind him, "What's the noise in the army? What happened behind?"
Supervisor's army The eunuch Zhang Yong immediately sent the Dongchang man around him to check it out.
Soon soon, Dongchang Fanzi came back with the news: "Report to General Wang, report to the big shot, it was the women and children in the village who attacked our troops with poisonous arrows, causing trouble to our army. Great losses."
"Now the women and children in the village have been controlled by our army. Please deal with it!"
"What?!"
Wang Yue was shocked and angry, and quickly rode his horse back to the village.
Along the way, Wang Yue was shocked by the casualties of the troops.
At least hundreds of soldiers died at the hands of these women, children and children.
The poison they tempered on the arrows were all mixed together after collecting local toxic snakes and insects, extracting toxins from their bodies.
This poison is fierce and even if it has only a small sore, it can be killed immediately.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
From the arrow, until the loss of vital signs, it does not take more than a quarter of an hour.
Wang Yue was angry and blamed himself. He never expected that Annan, women and children, who looked so pitiful and harmless, would do such a cruel thing.
Because of his carelessness and his temporary compassion, the Ming army suffered heavy damage.
Anger had already ignited in his heart.
"General Wang..."
"General Wang!"
"General Wang, please avenge our brothers and brothers!"
"General Wang, these people are so hateful. Our brothers cannot die in vain!"
"..."
Along the way, countless soldiers from the three camps in the capital, With tears in his eyes, he looked at Wang Yue with red eyes, and looked at the thin women and children of Annan with hatred.
They were afraid that Wang Yue would let these weak women and children die in vain because of the so-called pattern and the so-called benevolent and righteous army.
Wang Yue walked into the village in silence, and found that everyone in the village had been taken down by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
A total of more than 500 women and children were taken to the middle of the village and stared at them fiercely.
Their eyes were like snakes and scorpions, showing a vicious light, which made Wang Yue frightened.
Wang Yue didn't understand how a child, who was only a few years old, could show such a terrible expression? He hated Ming Jun to the core.
Such a sinister beast must not be kept!
"General Wang, we have checked. They are local villagers. They do not have standard weapons or armor, and they use their own weapons."
"There are some food and bacon in the village, and a tank of poison. The traces of life are very obvious, but there are no young men and no elderly people." "General Wang, how do we deal with these people?!" br>
Wang Yue looked at these villagers and was puzzled.
He didn't understand why they still had the courage to launch an attack on the Ming army when facing the Ming army that was thousands of times their people.
Are they all afraid of death? !
Wang Yue fought a war for a lifetime, and this was the first time he had seen such a civilian who was fearless and launched an attack.
But since they were seeking death, Wang Yue didn't mind sending them a ride.
"Execute all! Dead immediately!"
"Yes, general!"
The soldiers of the three camps were shocked, and a hint of cruelty appeared on their faces. .
But just as they were about to execute, several civil servants of the Ministry of War who followed the army to fight with concern raised their opposition.
"General Wang, think twice!"
"Yes, General Wang, slaughtering women and children at will will affect the reputation of our Ming Dynasty!"
"This matter If it is heard by Your Majesty and Your Majesty blames you, who can bear this responsibility..."
Before these civil servants of the Ministry of War had finished speaking, Wang Yue interrupted them impatiently: "Enough I! If there is any responsibility, I, Wang Yue, will take it on my shoulders!"
"Behead!"
"Yes, general!"
Wang Yue's words immediately blocked the mouths of these civil servants of the Ministry of War.
They looked ugly and looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed.
But since Wang Yue said everything, he will bear all the responsibilities.
Then, the civil servants of the Ministry of War who cherish their feathers were not good to say anything, so they could only continue to remain silent.
In the village, soldiers of the fifth barracks held a knife and cut off the heads of a group of women and children.
In an instant, blood splattered and human heads rolled down.
The kindness to the enemy is the cruelty to oneself.
Wang Yue was kind once, and he made a big mistake and lost the lives of hundreds of soldiers in vain.
Faced with these prisoners of war who killed their brothers and brothers, even if they were still women and children, the soldiers of the three camps would never show mercy!
"Yaaaa, it's a long time to get a sprint..."
As the first batch of villagers were killed, the remaining captured villagers began to scream from their mouths. roaring with some Annan language that the Ming army could not understand, he began to struggle.
But their struggle was in vain. When the knife was placed on their necks, their expressions turned from resentment to fear and fear.
But it was too late, the blade fell, and several more prisoners of war were executed.
There are not many people in the village with hundreds of people, but in just two quarters of an hour, the entire village has been slaughtered by the Ming army.
Blood flows all over the village, and there is no living person in the village.
The scoundrel shakes the tree, this is the end!
But just this is not enough!
Wang Yue lowered his head and looked at the Annan map in his hand again. Just around them, thirteen villages of all sizes were marked on the map.
These thirteen villages are particularly clear on the map, and there is even basic information about each village, including the number of people, weapons, food, etc.
Among these villages, the largest Qushui Village, only a few thousand people, and the smallest Xijiao Village, the number is only two or three hundred.
There is no young and strong male in Niujiao Village where they are, which makes Wang Yue speculate that the people who attacked them in the mountains and forests may be the men in these villages.
Although the Ming army has killed many attacking enemies, how can it be possible to attack the Ming army at only such a small price? "Wang Rui, take a thousand three thousand battalions of cavalry to this furthest Niutou Village and kill everyone in the village!"
"Li Bing, you take the 2,55th military camp, to this Yuhua Village, Zhao Xiong, you take the 2,55th military camp, to this Dajiao Village..."
Wang Yue will control the twelve villages in one breath The task was handed over to twelve thousand households.
At the same time, they handed over the copy of the map drawn by the painter to ensure that they could successfully arrive at the village location without any mistakes.
"After you complete the task, you will immediately come to Qushui Village to meet. We set out from Qushui Village and quickly rush to Xuanhua Prefecture."
"Others, follow me to Ququ. Water Village! ”
Xuanhua Prefecture is the closest prefecture to Dianzhou, Annan, and the most important prefecture in the northwest of Annan.
There are more than 100,000 people in the palace city, and the terrain is open and suitable for the Ming army to conquer the city. "Yes, general!"
After receiving the order, the twelve thousand households ordered their own personnel and immediately rushed to their target village!
