Overlord!

Chapter 5 The wealth of the water bandit camp

The leader was defeated and surrounded by a large number of Sun family soldiers, and the water bandits dared not move at all.

Sun Ce threw the long knife to Cheng Zi who was standing aside, walked to the front of the formation, and asked Zheng Bao, who was held at the throat by the long halberd, "Cheat? Why did I ever cheat? I never interfered in the battle between the two of you. Yes. You lost to my soldiers and were defeated in front of the battle. You, Zheng Bao, can be regarded as a hero, so you can’t go back on your word, right?”

Zheng Bao was speechless after being told that he could only blame himself for not being courageous enough.The opponent also fought bravely in the crowd of hundreds of water bandits, without any timidity.But the situation was easy to change. When it was my turn, I panicked when I saw dozens of soldiers coming from the opposite side, and finally lost.

At this time, it is indeed unfair to say that the other party is cheating.

Although he, Zheng Bao, was defeated, he was not a rogue who could not afford to be defeated.

More importantly, at this time the situation was already under the control of Sun Ce's army.

Fu Wei who holds a sword in his hand can be domineering!
Zheng Bao said very rationally: "I accept the bet and admit defeat, and I am willing to do my best for the general."

Sun Ce laughed heartily, stepped forward and took away Chen Wu's halberd pointing at his throat, helped him up, and said, "You are a good man who stands up to the sky, I believe you will be able to fight all kinds of battles in the yellow sand, and worship the general as a marquis. "

With Zheng Bao's cooperation, all the water bandits in this village have taken refuge under Sun Ce's command, with a total of more than 430 people.

Among them, there were 320 young and strong water thieves, 38 women and maidservants, and more than [-] old, weak and wounded soldiers.

Sun Ce believed what he said, and personally selected two beautiful maidservants in the village to reward Chen Wu who was fighting bloody battles.Both of these two were women captured in the village. Their relatives were killed by water bandits, and they were helpless.There are more than 30 people with similar identities to them, and Sun Ce plans to reward them all as sergeants to help these people get married.

After the water bandits surrendered, Chen Wu finally took off his armor and carefully treated the wound.

In this battle, his whole body was full of arrows, even if it was a hunting bow or a soft bow, a few arrows shot in through the gaps in the armor, and the arrows penetrated an inch into the flesh.

After taking off the armor, a lot of blood flowed from the wound. He sat on a dead body by himself, and Cheng Zi tore off the clothes of the dead body to bandage his wound.

Sun Ce came over with the maidservant, looked at the way they bandaged the wound, and his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters. With this treatment, survival really depends on fate.

So Sun Ce drove away Cheng Zi, and said to Chen Wu, "These wounds on your body are as deep as an inch, and some of them are already visible. Don't be so foolish. These two maids gave you a reward, let them both Let me help you deal with it carefully."

Chen Wu is still young and energetic at the moment, exactly the age of Mu Shaoai, when he saw two dignified and handsome young maidservants, his blood was surging, he waved his hands proudly, and said: "General, I am strong and strong, A mere minor injury is not worth mentioning, even if you let it go, it will be fine in a few days."

It's good to be young, the body is full of vitality.

Sun Ce liked to laugh and talk, so he said, "You are not afraid, but what about these two maidservants? In the middle of the night, you lie on her body covered in blood, won't she faint from fright?"

Chen Wu took a deep breath: "The general is indeed right."

"Haha, then treat the wound properly." Sun Ce ordered the two maidservants beside him, "Find some pottery to boil water, then find if there is coarse salt in the water village, and then put the cloth Wash it, put it in and boil it. Wash his wound with salt water, and then wrap it with boiled cloth. Don’t only care about your groom, after taking care of him, take the women in the camp to take care of him in the same way Check out the other wounded soldiers."

A group of men fought fiercely and bloodily, scaring the two maidservants to turn pale.In violent conquest, women are just spoils of war, and they dare not have any objections at all.After listening to Sun Ce's instructions, the two of them immediately obeyed Sun Ce's request and led a group of women to get busy.

Several soldiers surrounded Lu Fan and walked up to Sun Ce. Lu Fan looked excited, even flushed, and said excitedly to Sun Ce: "General, guess what we found?"

"Food?" Sun Ce asked with interest.

Lu Fan shook his head immediately, and said excitedly, "It's armor pieces! Six baskets of armor pieces! There are at least tens of thousands of pieces. As long as you find a skilled craftsman who is familiar with weaving armor, you can quickly make it into black armor!"

Sun Ce also cheered up immediately, a piece of armor, and there are tens of thousands of pieces.This is enough to make nearly four sets of basin-collar iron armor, the kind worn by Chen Wu and Ma Chao.Ma Chao fought with Yan Xing when he was young, and Yan Xing stabbed Ma Chao's neck with a broken spear. If it weren't for the protection of the iron armor with the collar, he would have almost killed Ma Chao.Sun Ce was able to fight thousands of people with long swords in this battle, and it was also because of this excellent armor that he deflected most of the water bandits' weak swords.He just needs to dodge the heavy spear and halberd.

This kind of iron armor that protects the whole body of a person is called Xuanjia because of its black color.

Sun Ce's entire army did not have ten officers. Even among Sun Ce's personal guards, only Chen Wu, the captain of the guards, was assigned a pair of pot collar Kai because he was seven feet seven inches tall and very burly. prestige.Standing next to him, Cheng Zi could only wear two sets of Kai, which only covered his chest and back.

Sun Ce looked at Zheng Bao who was at the side, and asked excitedly, "Why are there so many nails in your village?"

Zheng Bao pressed his injured chest, coughed, and said: "Among the refugees who took refuge in me, there were a few iron officials who fled. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they helped the tyrants in Wubao to forge armor. For capital, there is no government affairs, no laws and regulations, and the livelihood of the people in the territory is dilapidated. These few iron officials came to me and helped me make armor. But we don’t know how to make armor, so the binding is relatively slow.”

Sun Ce glanced at the armor on Zheng Bao's body. It was indeed tied in a mess. The various pieces of armor were completely tied together with ropes, and the defensive effect was greatly reduced.

Seeing all this, Sun Ce was overjoyed. Yuan Shu did not set up government affairs, and even the iron officials went into exile. Now these are all in his pocket!Then as long as he can win Jiangdong, with Yuan Shu's brutal rule, a large number of Jianghuai talents will inevitably flow into Jiangdong.

With this in mind, Sun Ce is full of hope for Jiangdong's prospects.

While talking, another group of soldiers landed by boat, this time they were under Sima Jiangqin's subordinates.

Jiang Qin jumped off the bow first, walked up to Sun Ce, and said loudly, "General, I heard there is still a water fortress? Let me lead the soldiers of the headquarters to conquer it."

Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "Okay, then you can go."

Sun Ce still has to give him the face of another Sima.

Now there are four Sima in the army, Sima Jiang Qin, Sima Lu Fan, Sima Sunhe and Sima Chengpu.

In this era, investing in a hero is the easiest way to get a return.These four basically became the four important generals in the army because of this form.

Among them, Jiang Qin was from Jiujiang. When Sun Cegang led troops into Jiujiang to join Yuan Shu in Shouchun County, he decisively brought hundreds of guests into Sun Ce's account, so he didn't take one.

Lu Fan supported Sun Ce strongly at the beginning, and handed over a hundred of his guests to Sun Ce's leadership.Now that Sun Ce Chuangjun opened, he not only returned the hundred guests to him, but also let him, like Jiang Qin, not get one, to lead the Jiangbiao heroes who came to vote.

Basically, Jiang Qin and Lu Fan commanded all Sun Ce's trilogy under Sun Ce's command except for one thousand elites.The other ministries are basically non-elite direct descendants, and there is no specific establishment.

And Sun He was able to overwhelm veterans like Huang Gai and Han Dang to become Sima among the direct line elite, commanding 500 people, all because of his loyalty.

Back then when Sun Ce was in Shouchun, he and Lu Fan were the only ones who were always by his side, and they were ministers of the humerus, so Lu Fan was promoted to Sima of another department, and he was promoted to Sima, and together with Cheng Pu, he led the elite soldiers of the Sun family.

Needless to say, Cheng Pu was the first hero to invest in Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian. He has fought for the Sun family for many years, made great achievements, and is capable of fighting well. We must give this veteran a place to stabilize the morale of the old people.

Sima is already the highest official position in Sun Ce's army besides Sun Ce.

Don't look at everyone calling Sun Ce a general, but this is the same as the general Xingzi, the Changsha bandit district that Sun Ce's father Sun Jian sacked, it is a fake.

That was Yuan Shu's cousin Sun Ce as the general who killed the bandits, that is, acting as the general who killed the bandits.Originally, the position of General Exorcist was not a formal appointment by the imperial court, and he, Sun Ce, was still an acting General Exorcist.It will be clear how bad the so-called general Sun Ce is.

In fact, there is only one position that Sun Ce is really recognized by the court, Captain Huaiyi.This was the appointment given to Sun Ce by Ma Rixun, the Taifu of the Han Dynasty, when he appeased the Guandong.

Holding festivals represents the emperor's closeness and can represent the will of the Han court.

Until Sun Ce took down the three counties in Jiangdong, his official position was also a small school lieutenant.

Therefore, the only official position he can give to his subordinates is the Sima position of the school's lieutenant department.

With Jiang Qin's ability, it's more than enough to be a small Sima in another army. He doesn't have to worry about pacifying the water thief Sun Ce. Your soldiers come and clean up."

Cleaning the battlefield is a good job. You can collect some abandoned weapons, clothing, and even a broken armor if you are lucky.

Soon Sun Ce saw Douer active on the battlefield just now. He happily took off a pair of straw sandals with big toes exposed from the remains of a water thief, and put them on his feet.

But it was obvious that the shoes were much bigger than his feet, so he didn't dislike them, and immediately stuffed the stinky shoes into his chest and clothes, and then went to pick up other wreckage.

But this time his luck was not so good, the pair of straw sandals he fancy was also seen by another soldier.

The two immediately began to scramble for it, and the other soldier had quick eyesight and quick hands, and directly stuffed a shoe into his arms, and immediately came to grab the one in Douer's hand.

Douer's eyes were red, and he said anxiously: "I saw this, why did you snatch it?"

Another soldier clung to the sole of the shoe, fearing that the straw sandal would be torn in the struggle, but he refused to let go.

He was taller and stronger than Dou'er, so he directly pushed Dou'er down and rode on him, opened his fingers one by one, and snatched the stinky straw sandals.

Then he said happily: "What you see is yours? You idiot, you see so many women with big butts, why don't you touch them?"

As he said that, he patted Douer on the back of the head with the sole of his shoe, and cursed: "Zhuzi, it's a big business to delay. In the time it takes to grab a pair of straw sandals from you, others have picked up the good things."

After the strong soldier left cursingly, Dou'er finally got up, his chest was already stained with blood, mud and filth on the ground.

Having been robbed of a pair of straw sandals, his eyes were red with tears rolling in their sockets.

Just when Sun Ce thought he would sit on the ground and cry, he wiped the dirt from his mouth, ran into the pile of corpses, and searched together with other soldiers.

There were only dozens of dead water bandits. If he stopped crying in place, he would not even be able to pick up any scum. If he wanted to live, he had to pull a pair of pants from the corpse.

Children from poor families are as tenacious as weeds.

Sun Ce's expression was moved and he was deeply shocked.Dou'er waited until Dou'er finished cleaning the battlefield and searched around in the water thief camp before calling him over and asking, "Dou'er, are you a soldier too? Where's your weapon?"

Douer was still quite afraid of Sun Ce, so he replied honestly, "I don't have a weapon."

"Then what do you do when you go to the battlefield?"

"Find a pointed wooden stick and rush with everyone."

Sun Ce asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid." Dou'er's answer surprised Sun Ce.

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Jiang Sima usually doesn't let me stand in front. Those in front are all veterans. They have spears and even swords. If they can win, I will follow them to grab heads and pick up weapons. If they can't win, we will be in a mess. Just run away, I will run away faster."

Sun Ce looked at Dou'er in surprise, not expecting him to be a veteran.

"Then what did you pick up?"

Douer said angrily, "All the good things have been taken away, so I took a broken arrow from the corpse."

As he pulled out from the right side of his waist, Sun Ce finally saw his treasure clearly, a blood-stained arrow shaft, only half of it was left, with a four-inch long arrow in the front and a two-foot arrow shaft in the back many.

After the arrow is shot, it is basically useless.Because once the arrow shaft is broken, cracked, or bent, it will greatly affect the accuracy.

Especially the curved shaft, that is a shooter's nightmare.Aiming at the front, the result may have flown into the phalanx of my own home on the right.

To polish a standard arrow shaft is a very demanding manual job.

But as long as there are many people, it can be built.

The more precious ones are actually the arrow feathers, which have a great influence on the flying speed and hit rate of the arrows, so the arrow feathers are the best, followed by horned eagle feathers and owls, and the worst are goose feathers. The wind is easy to slant.

This thing can't be used just by pulling out a few feathers from the chicken's buttocks, so when cleaning the battlefield after the war, the soldiers will give priority to collecting the arrow feathers, leaving a broken arrow that has not been found.

Sun Ce gave Douer an idea and said, "You can't kill anyone with this half-shafted arrow. Why don't you pull out the arrow and find an archer to change it. Ask them if they want this kind of arrow." The used arrows should still be usable after being polished. If you’re lucky, you might even get a knife they picked up on the battlefield, or a dagger.”

Douer immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said, "They all have thick and strong arms, so they wouldn't change them with me, and just snatch them away."
