He couldn't leave, and he didn't dare to rush forward. Zhong Dahu was extremely anxious.
When he set out from the military town, he sent someone to rush to Shuozhou Prefecture to report to the military commander Yang Jian that the Minister of War was making a secret visit to the Jingbian Army and was preparing to go to Heituo Mountain to observe the terrain!
When Yang Jian learned of this situation, he would definitely send elite cavalry from Shuozhou Prefecture to escort him as quickly as possible. He didn't want Fan Nan to get into trouble on his territory.
Therefore, now, Zhong Dahu could only look nervously towards the direction of Heituo Mountain, hoping that Zhang Biao could help Fan Nan's guards and buy him more time.
The other side.
Fan Nan and his party did not go down the mountain, but stayed in a dangerous place, overlooking the enemy and defending on the spot.
Another group of Tartars, led by the silver-armored Tartar captain, quickly found the location of Fan Nan and others.
They immediately dismounted, holding bows and arrows and swords, and rushed towards Fan Nan and others.
The mountain road was narrow, only two or three people could walk side by side, and they had to attack from above.
Fan Tong and his five guards firmly guarded the main road, resisting the wave after wave of attacks from the Tartars.
For a while, the Tartars were unable to do anything to them!
"Useless! There are only a few of them, and you can't even take them down?"
Seeing that his men had been repelled several times, the Silver-Armored Tartar was furious and waved his whip and cursed at his men.
"Master Qian, this is a dangerous place, with thorn bushes on both sides. There's only one way out. They're in a commanding position. Give us a little more time, and we'll definitely take them down!"
A bronze-armored Tartar beside him looked helpless.
The enemy was hiding on a huge rock that looked like a meter-high city wall. Bows and arrows could not reach them, so people had to climb up and attack.
But as soon as the man went up and showed his head, he was greeted by four or five knives.
Several Tartars had been seriously injured in succession, and their blood had dyed the boulders red.
"We must resolve this battle as quickly as possible! It seems that Dayin's cavalry is coming to support us from the southwest. We don't have much time left!"
"If we can't capture these people on the mountain and escape unscathed, we'll be in trouble."
The Tartar captain with silver armor had a stern expression on his face.
He came from the grassland forty or fifty miles away with a hundred cavalrymen.
Relying on the mobility of the grassland cavalry, he only planned to raid the beacon tower, slaughter the soldiers to avenge the three dead soldiers, and teach Dayin's border troops a lesson, but he had no intention of expanding the scale of the battle.
But the development of things was beyond his control.
Not only were the troops of the entire Jingbian Military Town dispatched, but the cavalry of Shuozhou Prefecture were also attracted.
If he cannot leave before the Shuozhou cavalry arrives, he and these one hundred cavalrymen will be in great danger.
However, his eyes were filled with fanaticism and greed.
Now not only the Jingbian Army has been alarmed, but also the Shuozhou Prefecture. This also shows that the people in the mountains are very important and valuable!
If he was captured, his superior, King Zhelan of Beidi, who was in charge of the Daqing Mountains, would be very happy and would give him countless cattle, sheep, pastures, women and slaves.
"Captain of the Ancient Capital, you lead your men and take them down in person. This time, take them down!"
"Yes, Master Qianchang!"
The bronze-armored Tartar named Hun Gudu immediately asked someone beside him to pass him a round shield and shouted:
"Bow and arrow cover!"
About twenty Tartars drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the top of the boulder.
"kill!"
