A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 11 Team Officer Zhang Gui

When Wang Dou and others returned to Jingbian Pier, there was a commotion in the entire Pier.

Zhong Dayong, Wang Youjin, Yang Tong, the women of Jingbiandun, and the soldiers of Juludun all rushed out. The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a large group of healthy horses. It was Wang Dou and the others riding on a steed each proudly.

Immediately, they all wore the heads of the Tartars whose blood was still wet, and held the reins of several horses. On the backs of these horses, there were some emaciated women from the Ming Dynasty who had been rescued.On the remaining horses, there were a large amount of seized materials piled up.

There was a lot of noise, everyone rushed over one after another, pointing at the horse material in front of them, exclamation and inquiries sounded from time to time.So many captured war horses, so many materials, and those heads are really surprising. Could it be that all the Tartars were killed by Wang Dou?

Zhong Dayong and Wang Youjin walked out side by side. Seeing the situation before them, how can they not understand?Surprised, the two looked at each other, and they both burst out laughing, the victory was certain, not to mention the heads, but the horses captured in front of them, it was inevitable for them to get promoted and get rich this time.

Zhong Dayong went up to meet him with big strides, and shouted loudly: "Welcome the strong men come back victorious, welcome the strong men come back victorious, brother Wang, you are really good, hahahahaha!"

Wang Dou and Han Chao and others jumped off their horses, Wang Dou thought to himself: "Although I can ride a horse with my body, my riding skills are not very good. It seems that I have to practice hard in the future." Look at the brothers Han Chao, they are good at riding , but Gao Shiyin and Qi Tianliang are not even as good as themselves, they can barely ride on the horse.

Wang Dou strode forward, clasped his fists at Zhong Dayong, and said loudly: "Wang Dou and others have fulfilled their mission and returned by luck. They planned to behead ten Tartars, seize 23 war horses, and take back the captive women." More than [-] mouths, and the rest have nothing to do with material, now come back and report to Zhongtou."

The fat on Zhong Dayong's face trembled violently, and even his voice changed: "Chop, behead ten levels, you, you... Hiss... Well, you are really a warrior, you are really a warrior."

When everyone around heard Wang Dou's words, they collectively took a breath of air. They knew that Wang Dou and the others were going to fight, and they only dispatched nine people in total, but now they have beheaded ten heads of the Houjin Army. On average, one person has won more than one level. When did the Ming army have such combat effectiveness?

But the facts are in front of them, not to mention the heads of the post-Golden army hung on the horses of Wang Dou and others, but the horses and materials seized in front of them are enough to prove the facts they said.

Han Zhong even shouted loudly: "Brother Wang contributed the most in this battle. He killed five Tartars by himself!"

There was another exclamation, and everyone looked at Wang Dou in awe. At this time, the image of Wang Dou, a foolish king, no longer existed in their hearts. Instead, it was an unfathomable feeling. .

Zhong Dayong also coughed, and looked at Wang Dou in shock. He loved and hated Wang Dou in his heart. Such a warrior is what every Shangguan dreams of. Unfortunately, Wang Dou is too rebellious and difficult to control.

He remembered something: "Brother Wang went to battle, did you have any casualties?"

Wang Dou said dejectedly: "Brother Ma Ming in Dunnei died in battle, brother Tan Jinrong who rejected Ludun, brothers Zhang Ruchun and Qi Bing in Dakangdun also died in battle, and the rest were all wounded!"

Zhong Dayong also saw that, except for Wang Dou, everyone was wounded, and the horses behind were still carrying the corpses of Ma Ming and others. Killing ten opponents is already a very rare achievement.Looking around Daming, it seems that such a record has never been heard.

Zhong Dayong said solemnly: "Brother Wang, you have made such great achievements. I should reward you from the superior, and the good news will spread quickly. For the brothers who died, I will also ask the superior to give them compensation, so as to comfort their spirits in heaven."

Wang Dou cupped his fists and gave a big gift: "Thank you for the hour!"

Next, Zhong Dayong went to watch the seized materials with great interest, condolences to the rescued women, and promised to deal with their future affairs well.

Han Zhong vividly described the experience of this battle to everyone, and everyone's exclamations were heard.While listening, everyone was talking excitedly as they looked at the heads of the Empress Jin Army who were staring at the wrathful eyes.

Seeing Wang Dou and the others' high-spirited looks, Yang Tong in the back had a look of annoyance on his face, he would have fought with them if he had known earlier, alas, it was too late to regret.

Beside Qi Tianliang, his wife Tao Shi was smiling from ear to ear, and Qi Tianliang also looked complacent. Looking around, the husband and wife finally looked at each other and smiled, knowing it clearly.

As for the several Dunjun who rejected Ludun, they surrounded Gao Shiyin with envy, like stars holding the moon, Gao Shiyin also looked proud. In front of him, Wang Youjin, the leader of the rejected Dunjia Hush from time to time.Gao Shiyin participated in this battle, and I even captured the head of the Houjin Army. It is worthless to capture it. This credit is naturally inevitable for him to be a part of Jiachang Wang Youjin. Gao Shiyin has always been his confidant, and now he has made such a The great achievement naturally made Wang Youjin very happy.

The crowd quarreled for a while, and Zhong Dayong ordered the seized materials to be moved into the pier first, and the food, chickens and sheep that the Tartars had robbed, etc., can have a good meal tonight, Wang Youjin was beside the clock Dayong said: "This battle is a great victory, we should send someone to report the victory to the supervisor as soon as possible."

Zhong Dayong said: "That is, that is, I don't need my uncle to remind me, I can save it."

Everyone was about to enter the pier, when several pier soldiers shouted: "There are officers and soldiers coming!"

Sure enough, they saw smoke and dust billowing from the south, and a dozen or so Ming cavalrymen appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Looking at the banners, they were soldiers and horses under the command of Zhang Gui, the team manager of Dongjiazhuang.

Zhong Dayong and Wang Youjin looked at each other and smiled: "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived and was about to send someone to report victory to Mr. Zhang, when he came!"

Soon, the Ming cavalry team arrived in front of everyone in Jingbiandun. There were about twelve or three cavalry. The leader was a middle-aged officer with a short beard and wide-eyed leopard eyes. He was about 37-[-]. Dressed in blue clothes and iron armor, with an eight-petal iron pointed helmet on his head, and a big red cloak around his body, he looks very mighty.

This person is Zhang Gui, the management team officer of Dongjiazhuang. He is the official of a hundred households. Jurisdiction.Immediately behind him is Zhang Tanggong, the head of his servant team, who is 35 years old and usually takes care of ten members of Zhang Gui's servants.

Seeing the boss coming, Zhong Dayong and Wang Youjin rushed up to greet him, and was about to kneel down to pay homage, when Zhang Guiji jumped off his horse, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Dayong, listen to my village's neiye not accepting, last night you Dunnei played a big victory against the Tartars?"

Wang Dou thought: "The news spreads so fast!"

Before Zhong Dayong could speak, Zhang Gui's eyes were already looking at the pile of seized goods in front of him. His eyes were opened to the maximum in an instant. In front of him, the armor of the horses, the tent weapons, and the heads of the golden Tartars hung in front of the horses, etc. What's wrong with this great victory?He repeatedly exclaimed: "As expected, as expected... Great, great..."

He strode forward, tremblingly caressing the confiscated items, looking carefully at them non-stop, while still murmuring in amazement.Not to mention him, even the Dongjiazhuang cavalry behind him looked enviously at the horses and weapons in front of them, and they all talked non-stop. The captured Tartar horse weapons and armor are wonderful.

After watching for a long time, Zhang Gui burst into laughter, describing himself as overjoyed.According to the military merit system of the Ming Dynasty, if an officer leads hundreds of troops, if his subordinates capture ten thieves, they can be promoted to a higher rank.Not to mention these decapitated heads, just these captured horses and other materials, this promotion is already affirmed.

Zhang Gui laughed, turned around, and said loudly to Zhong Dayong, "Dayong, what's going on here, please explain carefully!"

Both Zhong Dayong and Wang Youjin followed closely behind him, paying attention to his expression all the time. Hearing Zhang Gui's inquiry at this time, Zhong Dayong hurriedly stepped forward to tell what happened yesterday. Before, he was naturally not good at talking nonsense with his eyes open.

For a while, under his mouth, last night's battle situation and the credits of Wang Dou and others were all mentioned one by one. Of course, this did not include the credits of him and his uncle Wang Jiachang for strategizing before the battle.

Zhang Gui couldn't help being moved, even Zhang Tanggong, the leader of the guard team behind him, and all the Dongjiazhuang officers and soldiers showed shocking expressions.

Nine men attacked ten Tazi soldiers at night, and only four of them were killed in battle, so they beheaded all ten of the opponent's soldiers, and seized a lot of horses and other materials, including the white armor soldiers of the Tartars, Pashiku, etc. Brave Tartar soldiers.In particular, one of the pier troops in the Jingbian pier also captured the heads of up to five opponents.If it weren't for the large number of captured heads in front of them, Zhang Gui and others must have thought that Zhong Dayong was lying.

Zhang Gui shouted: "Which heroes played last night? Let me stand up and see!"

Wang Dou, Han Chao, Han Zhong and the others stood up boldly. Zhang Gui and the others saw that all of them were heroes. From these people, it could be seen that the battle was brutal last night. Everyone was wounded, especially Han Zhong, who was stabbed in the thigh. He was still walking with a limp at this time, and blood still oozes from his leg from time to time.

Looking carefully at these people, Zhang Gui said repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad!"

He shouted again: "Which one is Wang Dou, stand up and show me!"

Wang Dou walked out with his head held high, looking carefully at Wang Dou, Zhang Gui asked, "You are Wang Dou, the one who beheaded the five Tartar soldiers last night?"

Wang Dou clasped his fists and said loudly: "The little ones are killing thieves for the country, life and death have long been ignored!"

Looking at Wang Dou, Zhang Gui's face was full of admiration. Such a tall, strong, and brave sergeant is what every superior officer desires. The idea of ​​subordinates.

In addition, everyone in Dongjiazhuang also looked at Wang Dou with incredulous expressions. He killed five Tartar soldiers by himself?Could it be that he is a descendant of heavenly soldiers, otherwise how could he do it.

And among some people in Dongjiazhuang, they also knew what happened to Wang Dou before, they knew that he was a famous soft bastard, he was good at skills, but he was as timid as a mouse, so he beheaded five Tartar soldiers, When did he become so bold and sharp?

However, the firm facts in front of them, as well as the calm aura emanating from Wang Dou, had to convince them in their hearts, but they were secretly suspicious, when did this fool Wang seem to be a different person?
