After Tuhesu sent people to the Jin army camp to ask for help, he waited anxiously. In the afternoon, not only did he not see any reinforcements, but what was worse was that the soldier who reported the news did not come back either.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong.

If the main camp received a request for help, even if they did not send reinforcements, they should have sent someone to notify us. It is impossible for there to be no news at all.

Then, there is only one possibility left, that the soldier who went to report the news was intercepted and killed by the Song army.

Thinking of this, Tu and Suda shuddered.

The intention of the Song army was very clear. They wanted to trap themselves here or even destroy themselves.

After several battles, more than half of the Jin soldiers in Magedang Village were killed, leaving only more than 200 people. Among them were some signed soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. If the Song army wanted to attack Magedang by force, they would not need too many troops at all, five or six hundred people would be enough.

We must send more people to the camp for help.

However, the question arises: how many men should be sent? If too few are sent, they will surely be intercepted and killed by the Song army. If too many are sent, the already limited military strength of Ma'erdang will be further strained.

Tu Hesu took a deep breath and decided to take a gamble. He sent another ten people to the camp to ask for help. To be safe, they selected all Jurchen warriors and not a single signed soldier.

Before leaving, Tu Hesu said to these people in a heavy tone: "If you encounter the Song army on the way, do not fight them, but rush out and deliver the news to the camp."

The Jin soldiers who were delivering the letter nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Mouke, we will definitely deliver the message back."

At this time, it started to rain.

Tu and Su personally escorted them out of Magedang and stood on the village wall to watch them leave until their figures disappeared in the distance. Only then did they descend the village wall and return to their residence.

That night, as he lay in bed, he was still thinking: "They are all the most elite warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom. They will definitely be able to break through the interception of the Song army."

At this time, the rain was still falling outside and the weather was gradually getting colder.

Tu and Su curled up, wrapped themselves tightly in the quilt, and slowly fell asleep.

Less than ten miles away from Magedang, behind a pile of rocks, more than twenty soldiers of the National Protection Army were lying in ambush. Their clothes were soaked and stuck to their bodies, making them very cold.

The team was led by a platoon leader named Han Song.

A soldier shivered and said, "Platoon leader, it's dark and raining. Is the Golden Dog coming?"

"Whether the Golden Dog comes or not, we must hold on until the hour of Xu. Someone will take over from us then."

"I'm soaked and cold...very cold."

"Persevere even if it's cold."

Han Song was so cold that his upper and lower teeth were chattering. He tilted his head to look at the black shadow lying next to him. This guy was Hei Wuchang.

What impressed Han Song was that Hei Wuchang had not moved since he lay there.

This man is taciturn and never takes the initiative to talk to others. He also ignores others when they talk to him.

Because he was Zhang Tianshi's servant, everyone respected him.

Suddenly, Hei Wuchang whispered: "The Jin soldiers are coming!"

Everyone perked up and looked forward with eyes wide open. In the rainy night, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.

I listened carefully, but didn't hear any sound.

Han Song was about to ask Hei Wuchang when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar.

The Jurchens really came.

Han Song quickly ordered: "Stretch the crossbows."

The soldiers of the National Protection Army drew their arrows and put them on their bowstrings.

The sound of horse hooves gradually approached.

Han Song whispered, "Draw the bow...shoot!"

When the bowstring sounded, dozens of feather arrows flew towards the black shadow in the middle of the road.

Instantly, several screams were heard in the darkness, followed by the sound of bodies falling from warhorses.

"Kill!" Han Song shouted and rushed out with a spear in his hand.

The soldiers of the National Protection Army jumped out from behind the rocks and rushed towards the Jin soldiers shouting.

A black shadow passed by Han Song at an incredible speed. It was Hei Wuchang.

The Jin cavalry was caught off guard and had no desire to fight. They urged their horses to gallop forward, trying to break through the interception of the National Protection Army.

However, the National Protection Army was well prepared and placed two horse ropes on the road.

The Jin army could not see anything in the darkness, and their horses were tripped by the horse ropes, and both the soldiers and horses fell to the ground.

Similarly, the National Protection Army soldiers could not see clearly and used their weapons to randomly slash and stab at the black shadows.

The surviving Jin soldiers were very ferocious. They crawled out of the mud with strange cries and fought with the soldiers of the National Protection Army.

If Hei Wuchang had not been in this battle, there would definitely be casualties on the side of the National Protection Army.

But it's completely different with Hei Wuchang around. He is a BUG in itself, and the night is no different from the day to him.

And it is invincible.

However, in this operation, Zhang Shixun did not activate the killing mode, but the interception and protection mode.

In this mode, its attack action will only be triggered when the enemy attacks it and its teammates, or tries to escape.

Zhang Shixun’s idea was very simple, which was to allow the soldiers of the National Protection Army to receive practical combat training as much as possible.

The biggest role of Hei Wuchang is to prevent the Jin soldiers from escaping.

The battle was a foregone conclusion, all the Jin soldiers were killed without a single one escaping.

On the National Protection Army side, one person was killed and three were injured.

Zhang Shixun saw the entire battle clearly from beginning to end through Hei Wuchang's eyes.

“It’s pretty good.”

Zhang Shixun in the tent muttered, turned over and fell asleep.

The next morning, after eating and drinking their fill, the soldiers of the National Protection Army mounted their war horses and, led by Zhang Shixun, circled around the horse's nest.

He is the best at armed parades, and he used them against Yang Tianwang and Toushouhua before.

The difference is that this armed parade was carried out with human heads, which were called heads or skulls in more formal and less bloody terms.

Eleven in total.

All the Jin soldiers who went for help twice are here now.

Upon hearing the news, Tu Hesu climbed up to the top of the village wall. When he saw the head hanging high, his heart sank.

The road to seeking help is completely blocked, and now we can only hold on and wait for help.

There has been no news from the main camp, so they will send someone to check it out sooner or later.

However, no one can be sure when they will come to check. It may be three or two days, or it may be ten days or half a month.

Tu and Su looked at the Song cavalry showing off their might and felt so angry that their teeth were itching.

This Song army, which called itself the National Protection Army, was so hateful and cunning that it always used despicable means such as sneak attacks and ambushes to attack the Jin army.

Now that the Jin army has been almost exhausted, they dare to be so arrogant and bully us.

Tu and Su Qiang suppressed the urge to go out and fight, and ordered their men to reinforce the village walls. They also secretly instructed their confidants to monitor the soldiers to prevent them from having any rebellious intentions.

There are only 200 soldiers in Magedang now, and the signed troops account for more than half of them. If something happens to them, it will be completely over.

Tu and Su specially called Chen San over, pretended to comfort him, and asked someone to bring dozens of taels of silver for him to distribute to his soldiers.

Chen San seemed flattered on the surface, but in his heart he was cursing Tu and Su's ancestors for eight generations.
