Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 187, For Gold

Compared with the first wave of charge, the second wave of charge was a bit more difficult to resist.

The grassland troops attacked from both the left and right sides at the same time, which made Wei Xing unable to cope with it.

But fortunately, we managed to hold on in the end.

But the enemy did not give us time to rest, and the third wave of attack began quickly.

This time the charge was launched from three directions: front, left and right, and the number of people was twice as many as before!
"Shoot arrows, shoot arrows. Spearmen take the lead, and sword and shield soldiers attack the horse's legs!"

Wei Xing shouted loudly, and the messenger beside him quickly passed on the order.

In the night, a dark cloud obscured the moonlight at some point, making the already dim battlefield even darker and posing a greater test on the commander's command ability.

Fortunately, good news came soon.

The general has successfully gotten behind the enemy.

After hearing this, Wei Xing's tense nerves relaxed a lot.

However, he could not retreat at this time. He had to act out his role to the fullest and not let the other party find any flaws.

During the fourth charge, Gong Yulie cursed the soldiers and said that if they could not break through the enemy formation this time, he would punish them by making them herdsmen.

Pastoral slaves were the lowest class in the grassland and were almost no different from slaves.

The reason why Kah Khan was able to become the common ruler of the grassland with an inconspicuous small tribe was because he liberated the herdsmen and slaves, which brought him a lot of productivity and prestige.

However, although most of the pastoral slaves have been liberated, in tribes like Gong Yulie's, there are still a small number of pastoral slaves who secretly exist for the enjoyment of their masters.

This time, the grassland soldiers charged extremely fiercely, and a hole was torn in the left wing. Wei Xing had to lead his troops personally to resist and drive back the grassland soldiers.

"There are only half of the arrows left in the bow, and they are almost used up!"

The soldier reported.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xing looked at the grassland soldiers who were preparing for the fifth wave of charge and knew that it was time to retreat.

During this charge, Gong Yulie personally took up his sword and mounted his horse.

He killed a soldier who had just escaped from the fourth wave of charge with one sword, and announced that the other's family would become pastoral slaves!
"Anyone who dares to retreat from this charge will be like this man!"

After saying that, Gong Yulie shouted, "Charge!"

Batu Xiong on the other side also said: "Charge!"

The grassland army is pouring down!

The blood-stained Goshawk and Wolf battle flags were flying in the air, and the grassland soldiers were roaring in the incomprehensible grassland language, just like goshawks and wolves!

The Huaiyin army was not afraid of this at all. They stood with guns and swords in hand, and did not retreat even when the enemy's warhorses charged as powerfully as thunder.

The grassland cavalry still uses the same old tricks, projectiles and charges!
The only difference lies in the number of people and their bravery.

The horse of a grassland soldier died, and he fell off, bleeding from his mouth and nose and his internal organs were ruptured. However, he did not dare to escape. Instead, he drew his dagger and fought desperately with the Huaiyin army.

If he retreated or escaped, the cattle, sheep, and cloth in his family would be taken away by the leader, his mother would become a herdsman, and his underage brothers and sisters would be given away as rewards to others for fun. Rather than having such an ending, it would be better for him to die on the battlefield like his father.

"Kill!"

Wei Xing raised his sword and killed a grassland soldier with his own hands. At this moment, an arrow shot towards him and Wei Xing quickly dodged it.

But I saw Gong Yulie shooting arrows with a bow not far away.

Seeing this, Wei Xing rushed towards Gong Yulie with his knife. Gong Yulie laughed loudly, put down his bow and arrow, drew his saber and fought with Wei Xing.

The two fought for several rounds, and Gong Yulie's mouth was torn and blood flowed out.

He couldn't help but be shocked that the strength this man exerted on foot was actually greater than when he was riding a horse.

"This man must be a great general of Daxi, he must not be allowed to stay!"

Gong Yulie yelled something that was incomprehensible, but it was a unique word of the golden lineage of the grassland, or it could be said to be a dialect, meaning Cang Wolf.

Batu Xiong, who was not far away, heard this and looked over. Seeing the fierce battle between Gong Yulie and Wei Xing, Batu Xiong drew his bow and shot an arrow without hesitation. An arrow quickly shot towards Wei Xing. Wei Xing was shocked and rolled on the ground.

This is a unique move of street thugs, which can be used to dodge all attacks.

Wei Xing was born a gangster in Jinling. He first participated in Feng Tai's uprising. After Feng Tai's defeat, he went to the mountains to become a bandit. During the period of fighting, he often used this trick in battle and was quite skilled at it.

When Gong Yulie saw that his hidden arrow missed his target, he shamelessly ordered his men around him to attack Wei Xing together.

Seeing this, Wei Xing deliberately blocked the knife with his shoulder, pretending to be injured, and then fled in panic with his bodyguards.

The Huaiyin army soon began to collapse!
Gong Yulie was overjoyed and quickly ordered his men to give chase.

At this time, the Huaiyin soldiers followed the previous orders and dropped their gold bars, silver ingots, pearls and gems.

It wasn't obvious in the darkness at first.

But as more and more were discarded, they were eventually discovered.

The first grassland soldier who discovered it widened his eyes!
Gold, it’s gold!

No matter in which dynasty, nomadic or farming, gold is the eternal hard currency.

He quickly picked up a piece, then another piece, and another piece.

No matter how much I pick up, I can never pick up enough.

And following the first person's discovery, soon the second and third people also discovered the gold on the ground.

In just a moment, all the grassland soldiers on the battlefield discovered the golden gold and white silver ingots!

If one person only dares to pick it up secretly after discovering it, then when everyone finds out, it will directly turn into a craze to scramble for the gold.

The soldiers dismounted and lay on the ground looking for gold bars.

Gong Yulie looked at this scene with a furious expression. He kicked a grassland soldier away and shouted:
"How dare you, you bastard, put the gold in your pocket!"

The grassland soldiers reluctantly offered the gold.

Gong Yulie grabbed a handful of gold bars and couldn't stop laughing!

The wealth of the Han people was beyond his imagination. He thought that it would be a tough job to chase the Han emperor alone, but he didn't expect that this was a really good job.

Batu Xiong looked at the gold all over the ground and couldn't stop being greedy.

The Han people are too rich, really too rich.

After all, they were the leaders of two large tribes on the grassland, but even they had never seen so much gold in their lives.

But Batu Xiong was still a little worried.

"We are only focused on grabbing the gold, what if the Han emperor takes the opportunity to run away?"

At this time, with the support of the reserved personnel, Wei Xing had successfully led his troops back to the camp. Batu Xiong looked at the camp not far away and then at the gold under his feet, not knowing whether to chase or grab the gold first.

Gong Yulie killed a soldier who was stuffing gold bars into his crotch with a knife, then looked at Batu Xiong as if he was a fool and said:

"Are you stupid? Do you still need to consider this? How can their two legs outrun our four legs? Besides, even if the Han emperor escapes, so what? It's the Kahe tribe that wants to conquer the country. What does it have to do with us? What are we fighting for? The right thing to do is to bring all this gold back to the grassland!"

Upon hearing this, Batu Xiong nodded in agreement. Without any worries in his heart, he quickly ordered his men to scramble for the gold and silver.

In order to grab more gold and silver, these grassland soldiers even fought each other.

However, just when everyone was fighting fiercely, suddenly, a large number of cavalry rushed over from the rear, led by a general holding a large bow, it was Fang Yong!

Gong Yulie was shocked at first, but he felt relieved when he saw that Fang Yong's group was small, and said hurriedly:

"Don't panic, there are not many enemies. Follow me and fight them on horseback to protect our gold!"

After saying that, Gong Yulie mounted his horse.

However, Gong Yulie was able to find the horse, but the other grassland soldiers could not. They were so busy grabbing gold on the ground that they had long forgotten where they had left the horses.

Fang Yong was getting closer and closer, four hundred meters, three hundred meters!
Fang Yong drew his bow and shot an arrow, which came quickly!
