The Eight Great Devils Wu Changbo

Wu Changbo, the Eight Great Bandits

Wu Changbo sat on the horse and looked around. In addition to the snow, there were only black and black pine trees on the low hills.

This is the case in the north. As long as there is white snow, the remaining colors will change, and even the water will turn into black water.

Wu Changbo envied his uncle Zu Fuyu's big beard. Only with such a big beard can he look more dazzling among the army.

The horse slowly went down the hill, and a whistle probe lifted the lid on the ground nest, stood outside the ground nest tremblingly waiting for Wu Changbo to verify.

There were six soldiers in a whistle pit. This was the routine. Wu Changbo glanced at the six soldiers and saw them wearing sheepskin coats and standing in the snow with a stinking smell all over their bodies. He took a wine pot from his waist and threw it to the long-skinned man with frostbite on his face, saying casually.

"Have the slave thieves harassed me?"

Shi Chang held the wine pot and said carefully: "Yesterday, a group of slave thieves came. The old slave saw that they were crowded and did not go out. He saw that they were heading west, with a population of about sixty, and they were all riding!

I was worried that the slave thief would have any abnormal movement, so I released the wolf smoke to send a message!"

Wu Changbo couldn't help but look west, and then to the west was Daling River. The water of the Daling River in winter was turbulent and would not freeze. In such weather, even if there was a boat, it was easy to be smashed by the ice in the river, so he was not worried that the slave thieves would take the risk of crossing the river.

Shi Chang didn't dare to put his mouth on the spout of the wine pot, and poured a mouthful of strong wine into his mouth in the air, so he carefully returned the silver wine pot to Wu Changbo.

"Take another sip, and the other brothers will also take a sip to warm up the body. Damn Liaodong, this winter is too cold."

Shi Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and then impatiently poured a sip of wine into his mouth, then handed the wine pot to the brothers behind him.

He couldn't bear to breathe, so he held the alcohol in his stomach. It took him a long time to exhale a breath of white air like a training-like breath.

Seeing that the soldiers were pitiful, Wu Changbo sighed and said, "If you bear it, our Jinzhou army has no shortage of food and grass. It's just that the weather is too cold and the road is blocked from heavy snow. When you get off, you will have hot food when you go back to the barracks."

Chief Shi hurriedly bowed and said, "Major General, the old slave is the Wu family's standard army. Now, the master is in the city. The young people must be more careful and dare not make any mistakes."

Wu Changbo smiled and said, "This is reasonable. Joining a soldier eats food is to tie his head to his belt to make a living. He has become my Wu family's standard army. Even if he dies in battle, I, the wife and the baby, will definitely have a bite of food and will not starve to death in this world."

As he spoke, he said to the other soldiers: "Do it well, and the Wu family has given him a large area of ​​land, and the Wu family can't cultivate it himself. My father is kind-hearted and may not say that he will use the excuse of recruiting the army to make food for everyone that they don't pay for food.

The army worked hard. If they could get the head of a first-level slave thief, if someone else didn't know about it, they would be able to exchange three taels of silver and become a standard army. If they didn't give it to five acres of land, they would be better than you in a blink of an eye.

This old dog relies on serving me, Wu for a long time! He has no other ability!"

Everyone laughed like a funny thing when Wu Changbo said, and Lao Shi looked even more like Rong Yan, and said with his chest straight: "This is my old slave with vision, not something that these fools can compare with."

Wu Changbo smiled and took back the wine pot and weighed it. He said angrily: "A group of dirty and dirty goods, one pot of wine is left with this. This is the good wine stole from a certain family from his father's study!

You guys have been slandered!”

As he spoke, he hung the wine pot on his waist, looked at the west side and said to Shi: "Sixty cavalry thief, since he is here, don't think about going back!

You are so protective. When you find something wrong, you will ignite the wolf smoke. Grandpa is going to collect these sixty cavalry thieves today!”

Shi Chang grabbed Wu Changbo's reins and said, "Major General, don't underestimate the enemy. The old slave heard the sound of the horse hooves of the slave thief, and was worried that there would be white-armored soldiers inside, and there would definitely be a archer beside the white-armored soldiers. There were only two hundred cavalry under the command of the major general, so he might not have a chance of victory!"

Wu Changbo looked down at Shi Chang's scattered face and said, "You guys are so lucky, maybe you will have a chance to pick up some slave thieves' heads!"

Before he could speak, Wu Changbo took his horse away and led his two hundred clans to chase westward.

The white mountains and black waters in winter are the world of slaves and thieves. Once these savages are in winter, they will move frequently.

Since the slave prisoner Nurhaci died of illness in Liaodong due to artillery injuries in July, internal strife broke out between slaves and thieves immediately.

In Wu Sangui's opinion, before the slave thieves completely established the head wolf, the defense line from Shanhaiguan to Daling River should be stable.

Now, a slave thief whistle suddenly appeared on the Daling River defense line, which is not a good sign.

The war horses galloped and the cold wind blew on their faces. Wu Sangui suddenly remembered the unprovoked explosion that occurred in the capital this year.

As a child of aristocratic families, he knew much better than ordinary people. Just from the letters from the eunuch of the Sili Prison, Liu Ruoyu, to his father, you can see how strange the big explosion was.

Liu Ruoyu is an eyewitness of the incident and a large eunuch in the Silijian. What he said should be the closest to the facts.

"On the sixth day of the king's moon in the sixth year of Tianqi, a sudden loud tremor was heard, and it was more than thunderous. It pulled out all twenty trees, with the roots either upwards, and the tips were downwards, and there were pits several feet deep, and the smoke and clouds were upwards, just like Ganoderma lucidum, rolling towards the northeast.

Iron slag from Xi'anmen area, like bran and rice, will stop when it is moved. From the west of Xuanwu Gate and south of Xingbu Street, near the factory building, suddenly fell, with the earth and wood on the top and the tiles on the bottom.

Thousands of people with names were killed, and thousands of people who died and did not know their names were killed.

Anyone who collapsed and the fire in the furnace was extinguished. However, the wooden foil of two or three families sold wine was burned, and the rest were not burned. The limbs of the dead were mostly incomplete, regardless of men or women, all naked, and those who were not dead were also taken off their clothes and hats…”

"This explosion is probably a punishment for heaven, right?"

As soon as he said something, Leng Feng forced himself to his mouth. Wu Changbo coughed and ordered the front army to speed up. He wanted to catch these slave thieves so that he could know what was going on with the slave thieves.

I soon arrived at the Daling River. The black river water was sobbing and slowly flowing, and there was no footprint on the snow on the river bank.

Wu Changbo did not disperse his men to investigate the whereabouts of the slave thieves. He only had two hundred people under his command. If he dared to divide his troops, even if he was divided into two groups, those brave slave thieves would dare to attack their 100-man team!

Since the slave thief Nurhaci became emperor in Hetua*ji in the 44th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty has invested huge amounts of silver and money in Liaodong and built fortresses after fortresses. Unfortunately, most of these fortresses are now occupied by slave thieves. Now, only Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan are left.

The Ming army was familiar with the Daling River, while Wu Changbo was familiar with every grass and tree here.

Similarly, the slave thieves also know the same thing about this place. Whether it is Nurhaci, Huang Taiji, or the slave thief general, they are also familiar with this place.

The slave thieves are different from the other savages who invaded the Central Plains. They are more cunning, more fierce, and more planned...

The snow at the foot of the mountain is very thick, and hares occasionally emerge from the snow, and occasionally frozen pheasants fall on the snow surface. Wu Changbo has no interest in these things and his eyes keep on the dark pine forest.

There were no birds flying in the cedars, and were there little beasts that rushed out of the pine forest, and it was as quiet as a dead place.

The sun drew an arc from the horizon, and finally hung lazily on the horizon, shining on the world weakly.

Wu Changbo stopped the war horse. He thought of going to the front to take a look. He was pulled tightly by Deputy General Wu Tong, and ordered the other personal soldiers to surround Wu Changbo tightly.

"Major General, the thief slave dragged the branches behind the horse and swept the snow path, but there were still traces to follow."

The front army reported loudly.

Wu Tong's eyes rolled like a lantern. After carefully checking the surrounding environment, he whispered to Wu Changbo: "This place is backing on one side and uncovered snow on the other side. It is beneficial to slave thieves who are good at shooting. Do not advance rashly.

You should quit slowly!”

Wu Changbo shook his head and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? If you withdraw at this time, we will pass by the slave thief. Don't, I will pass on my order and hold a shield to advance!"

Seeing that Wu Changbo did not listen to his advice, Wu Tong immediately shouted to the front army: "One horse distance, a shield is erected, and the direction of protection is pine forests, move forward!"

The originally compact cavalry team quickly became loose under the command of the deputy general, and Wu Tong quickly left Wu Changbo and headed straight to the head of the team.

He is a very experienced general and a powerful general who has experienced countless battles. At this time, protecting Wu Changbo is no longer the most important thing, but to ensure that the leader of the army is not caught in one fell swoop.

The personal soldiers also scattered one after another, and Wu Changbo's armor was no different from them. In order to confuse the enemy, he was the first to leave the crowd.

There was still no sound in the dark pine forest, but there seemed to be a tiger peeking at them. Wu Changbo felt that the hair on his back was standing up.

After finally leaving Shanbao, Wu Changbo forgot the cold and fatigue, and mobilized all the spiritual senses in his body to prepare for the coming crisis.

"Don't let go!"

Wu Tong's voice like a pulp came from the front of the team again.

Wu Changbo shivered, and a cold star suddenly appeared at the corner of his eyes...

"Enemy attack!"

Wu Tong discovered the enemy situation earlier than Wu Changbo. With a whistle, he urged the war horse to go straight to the small highland at the foot of the mountain.

Han Xing's target was not Wu Changbo, but a big man with a beard on his face. The big man also found a feather arrow, and his body immediately shrank into a ball and hid behind the shield. With a trembling sound, the feather arrow was blocked by the shield. The big man who had originally shrunk into a ball screamed and fell from the war horse shakingly. At some point, a black feather arrow was inserted into the base of his thigh.

When the man fell off his war horse, his body was no longer moving, and a black feathered arrow penetrated his temple...

"Amkayou got out of the card! (Good come)"

The originally flat snow was suddenly lifted up, with snowflakes all over the sky, a slave thief wearing a sheepskin coat suddenly rose from the ground. Before the Ming army opposite could react, a heavy, simple mace hit his war horse's chest.

The horse's chest immediately became shattered and he fell to the ground with the knight. The slave thief seemed to be ready. The mace hit the knight's helmet again. The black helmet flew away, and the knight's head also turned into a bloody ball.

Wu Changbo felt that he was fully focused, and the war still caught him off guard.

When the sword was raised, I had already seen two personal soldiers tragically die in the hands of slave thieves.

Wu Changbo, who was arrogant and arrogant, could bear it. He took two steps forward and slashed the slave thief with all his strength.

With a "clang", his long sword collided with an iron rod, and the long sword jumped high. Wu Changbo, who had participated in the war, ignored the long sword and slid out of the saddle bag of the war horse with his left hand, and used the momentum of the war horse to send it into the chest of the slave thief in front of him.

The war horse knocked down the dying slave thief and rushed out of the fog made of splashed snowflakes, and found that the originally calm snow field had completely turned into a flesh-and-blood battlefield.

Sixty slave thieves dared to set up ambush and ambush two hundred elite Guanning Iron Cavalry on the plain, which made Wu Changbo extremely angry.

On the battlefield, anger was a good mood. Wu Changbo threw away the protection of his personal soldiers and rushed towards Xiaoshanbao first.

The greatest threat to the cavalry was not those who hid their bodies in the snow and raided, but rather the arrogant Theocratic hands standing on the mountain.

Holding the four-stone strong bow stands in the wind, one arrow three times. The former has just left the string, the latter has already tied the bow string, the former has not yet killed the enemy, the tail has already left the string, and in an instant a pot of feather arrow has disappeared.

The top can kill the eagle in the clouds, the bottom can kill giant fish in the abyss, and the other is ordinary. If you are a hero, you cannot be called the archer!

The war horse was shot and killed by the Eagle's hand. Wu Tong, who was caught in an arrow on his shoulder, hid behind a huge rock. Seeing his head general charge in person, he remembered the extremely cold face of the home, and couldn't help but explode.

Grudge his teeth and roared, holding his shield and rushed out from behind the boulder.

The arrows were like locusts. The eagle hand standing on the mountain bag had no intention of leaving. Its body was as light as willows in the wind, avoiding arrows one by one. Even though his body was shaking, he still did not forget to shoot arrows, and easily shot several Ming troops who shot against him.

Seeing that Wu Changbo's war horse had reached the hillside, the Eagle's hand showed a sarcastic look on his face. He raised his hand gently, and a huge black arrow flew towards Wu Changbo's throat.

Wu Changbo raised his red eyes, lowered his head slightly, and faced the helmet tassel towards the feather arrow. With a sound of the squid, the feather arrow wiped the iron helmet and flew into the air.
