Chapter 20
Golden Words
The targets the scouts found were pretty good.
According to their description, if Zhu Youjian guessed correctly, that earthen fort should be a complete residence for Niu Lu.
I don’t know whether this residence is rich or not, but at least it is well-built and developed quite well.
Just like the group of slaves who built the garrison before.
As a human being, you have to have a place to live.
place of production.
If the time could be traced back to maybe three months ago, Zhu Youjian felt that it was impossible for him to take the Niulu Castle with 700 barbarians. No matter how many casualties there were, no matter how brave the soldiers were, it would be impossible.
But it's different now.
Dorgon went south.
According to the normal timeline, he is about to enter Beijing now.
Zhu Youjian remembered this.
But the dark place is still dark and dim.
There was another crisp sound, and the second knife slashed diagonally into the skull of the man kneeling on the ground!
In silence, the two men died suddenly!
The blade kept moving, and the cold light finally hovered in front of the nose of a thin, naked figure in the corner of the shack.
"Just like hunting, don't alert them. I will decide whether to shoot any target that comes into view. Unless after I shoot one person, another person suddenly appears in your field of vision, then you must shoot him quickly, otherwise you will just
Can fire arrows after I give the order."
After reaffirming the principles before the action began, Zhu Youjian lowered his body and walked towards the few shacks built together on the outermost edge of the earthen fort.
At a distance of twenty steps, there is no need to hide anything.
The few faint flickering lights on the wall of the earthen castle did not indicate anything about this.
The earth is faintly glowing blue under the moonlight, and it looks very open at first glance.
He could even clearly see Jiannu sitting on the small gatehouse of the earthen castle with half of his body exposed, covering his face with a big-brimmed velvet hat and taking a nap, scratching his itch.
A saber penetrated directly from his Adam's apple into his neck, nailing the cervical spine with a crisp sound!
In the next instant, Zhu Youjian twisted the knife fiercely and swept it with his backhand towards another figure kneeling on the ground in the shack. Along the way, he also completely strangled the neck of the first slave who suffered!
Rain of blood spurted out.
The reason is also very simple. The muffled shouts of people came from the originally dark shack.
But even so, thanks to the harsh living environment of nitrifying bacteria, Zhu Youjian was able to obtain barely enough nitrate mud after searching all the tribes along the way.
He only muttered something vaguely, which seemed to be his last words, as if he was quietly waiting for death.
Then he raised his finger and pointed at the top of the gate.
But the funny thing is.
He tore open the animal skin door curtain of the shack and pounced in like a tiger. His target was immediately fixed on the head of a rat with a money tail.
The action continues.
As he spoke, there was a sound of shredding fabric coming from inside.
Any unexpected changes may cause unnecessary casualties in this attack.
"Jinkou Yuyan, this is my promise, but it is not just to you."
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!"
Before I even got close, I heard heavy snoring inside.
The next journey did not have the same episode as before. Soon, Zhu Youjian and his party were only about 20 meters away from the gate of the earthen castle.
Seeing this, Zhu Youjian waved his hands to the hunters behind him, and then continued forward. The hunters also followed around the shack.
According to Jin Yiwei's report, these people who have their own shacks on the periphery are the middle class of the slave settlement.
Therefore, the owner of this earthen fort, the unknown Niu Lu Ezhen, is probably leading his 300 men to fight with Dorgon.
It was dark outside the castle, and there was no night watchman with a torch or a watchtower for warning, which proved that the slaves did not care about the safety of people outside the castle.
Most of my head was shaved and it was somewhat reflective, making it somewhat conspicuous in the dark.
The first night after the raiding team arrived near the castle, there was a full moon.
And Zhu Youjian also responded.
The attack was determined by Zhu You to be in the early morning.
Slowly, Zhu Youjian's hunting team passed through field ridges and crossed a small stream that was no more than one person wide, and finally had to stop in front of a relatively spacious shack.
Thanks to the savage Jurchen tribe, they also know that feces and urine in the tribe will stink so bad that no one can live in it. They know how to build a public toilet or dig a hole in their own house.
There is still some distance from the gate of the castle.
Zhu Youjian, on the other hand, carried a baggage on his back and personally led a small group of experienced hunters to explore the castle with bows.
To a certain extent, it alleviated the night blindness of the next group of tribal warriors.
Because of the cold and fear, she curled up tightly, shivered, and closed her eyes tightly. Even the blood with some residual warmth from the saber was thrown on her face, but she couldn't make her scream.
A moment later, there was a roar of wind and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground overhead. Then, a loud explosion made the hunters not far away shrink and retreat! The flying wood and sand debris collapsed.
On them!
There was a secret joy in her heart that her husband was not at home.
Obviously.
A simple but practical explosive pack is ready.
The people on the ground floor are now in a bunker and have to work in chains every day. At night, they are gathered together and taken back to the bunker to be imprisoned.
Even more fortunately.
After briefly hugging the poor woman with an ecstatic smile on her face, Zhu Youjian murmured and left the small shack.
Zhu Youjian took out the explosive package from the bag, lit the fuse with the fire sickle, then rushed to the gate of the earthen castle, put it in place and quickly hid against the wall next to it.
The owner of the head was standing naked, wiping his butt with a rag that had just been torn off Aha's body. He was a little confused when he saw Zhu Youjian for the first time.
When the moon has not yet disappeared, the skylight has already risen slightly.
But wait until he wants to express something.
"boom!!"
"Hide here. No matter what happens outside, don't move, don't make a sound, and don't even think about running. Wait until I come back to find you, and I will take you home."
Bottom floor?
Then, a dagger immediately penetrated her brain.
The wild Jurchen warriors in the raiding team were like hunting deer or roe deer in the forest, divided into six groups and surrounded the fort tightly.
"Damn it, you bitch slave, look at it! Your crazy mother-in-law chose your time very well! When I woke up, I saw blood all over my butt! Shut up! Don't make any noise! This will attract other slaves to me and steal your eggs.
!.Look at it! You idiot!"
Use the refined saltpeter to adjust the proportion of previously captured gunpowder to a more reasonable range.
While they are responsible for the work, they also manage the lower floors, and have their own small huts, small shacks, and small families.
The authentic Korean made the woman suddenly open her eyes, which were frighteningly bright in the darkness.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this, Zhu Youjian lowered his body, put down his saber, tightly covered her mouth and nose with his right hand, and spoke softly.
The team of hunters not far away immediately understood and drew their bows together.
Immediately afterwards, distant and passionate roars and screams sounded from all directions, and like the explosions, they traveled very far in the night.
"Dangdangdangdang——"
Soon, the crisp sound of gongs sounded from the wall of the earthen fort.
Looking at the dark figures scattered in all directions under the moonlight around the castle, a night watchman on the wall of the castle who was awakened by the explosion slapped himself twice in the mouth, and then screamed and beat the gong.
