"What do they want to do? Are they going to go out?"
"There are so many Tartars outside. Aren't they just going to die?"
"These two guys, just because they went out and managed to kill three Tartars, do they really think they can do it?"
"They dared to leave the beacon tower without permission. When Zhangtou returns, they will be in big trouble!"
“…”
When Zhao Muyun and Wang Tiezhu were dressed neatly and walked to the gate of the beacon tower to go out, they attracted discussions from other soldiers behind their backs.
Zhao Muyun glanced at these people with contempt.
How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?
The two soldiers guarding the gate, Lao Li and Lao Zhang, were too timid to open the door for them!
Tang Yanhai, who arrived shortly after, shouted, "Open the door! The three of us are going out! If Zhangtou comes to investigate, come find me. It has nothing to do with you!"
After saying that, he pushed Lao Zhang and Lao Li away and opened the door himself.
squeak!
As the door opened, the wind blew in a wisp of yellow sand, desolate and sad!
But in the eyes of Zhao Muyun and the other two, it is a bright future full of opportunities and challenges.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Muyun walked out of the door quickly without looking back, and Tang Yanhai and Wang Tiezhu followed closely.
A group of soldiers leaned on the wall and watched the three of them walk away, talking in a flurry:
"What! How come Tang Yanhai is hanging out with these two?"
"These two guys are obsessed with military achievements. Could it be that Old Tang has also been bewitched by them?"
"Alas, there's no hope!"
Suddenly, a nimble figure, after just a slight hesitation, rushed out of the beacon tower and chased after Zhao Muyun and the other three!
"Hey, Xiaowu, why do you want to die too? Come back quickly!"
"The four of you are finished. You've deserted your post. Even if you manage to come back alive, Zhang Tou will not let you off easily!"
......
now!
On the mountain road of Heye Peak of Heituo Mountain, Fan Tong, accompanied by five guards, protected Fan Nan and three staff officers and quickly retreated.
Zhang Biao and Han Zhong were arranged to lead the way.
When Fan Tong saw the thirty-four Tartar cavalrymen at the foot of the mountain charging towards them at high speed, his face became extremely solemn.
"Sir, these Tartars are so clever! They actually divided their forces!"
"With our current speed, I'm afraid we'll be blocked on the mountain by them before we even reach Kurama."
Fan Nan also saw the situation below the mountain and made a prompt decision:
"Since we can't make it, then we'll just hold the mountain and defend it! Once Captain Zhong defeats the Tartars, he'll be able to come and support us!"
Fan Tong said worriedly, "Sir, we have no problem holding on to the mountain. I'm just worried that Captain Zhong's troops will be defeated by the Tartars, and we'll be left fighting alone."
"Then sacrifice your life for your country and fight to the death! We must not fall into the hands of the Tartars!"
"If that time comes, Fan Tong, you're so agile, you must find a way to break out and take our surveyed atlas out and deliver it to Shuozhou Prefecture! It's more important than any of our lives!"
Fan Nan's eyes were firm and his face was determined. He had already prepared for the worst.
"grown ups...."
Fan Tong had tears in his eyes and a look of grief and anger on his face.
"Stop talking and prepare to fight the enemy!" Fan Nan waved his hand resolutely and drew his sword.
The three aide-de-camp also took out their bows and crossbows and stood ready with Fan Tong and other guards.
"Zhang Tou, the situation is not good!"
While Fan Tong and the others were off guard, Han Zhong whispered to Zhang Biao, "Judging from what this gentleman is saying, I'm afraid we can't escape!"
Zhang Biao couldn't see the current situation clearly.
Originally, Zhong Dahu asked them to lead the way because he hoped that Zhang Biao and the others would perform well in front of the adults in the capital and bring honor to himself.
Zhang Biao was very nervous along the way, begging everyone to please not to get into trouble, complete the mission safely, and then get promoted and make a fortune.
But the Tatars appeared, and there were hundreds of them!
Forget about getting promoted or getting rich, you might even die here!
"The Tartars' target is this gentleman and his entourage. We should act according to the situation." Zhang Biao's eyes rolled.
ah!
Han Zhong was a little confused and didn't understand what Zhang Biao meant.
"Sergeant Zhang, Sergeant Han, you two were able to kill three Tartars. Please lend your support in the upcoming battle!"
At this time, Fan Tong came up to the two of them and bowed.
"Of course!"
Zhang Biao replied hurriedly.
......
When Zhao Muyun and his party quietly came out of the beacon tower, crossed the Zishui River and arrived at the foot of Heituo Mountain, the Tatars who went to intercept them had already started fighting with Dayin's reinforcements.
As his own future and life were at stake, Zhong Dahu mobilized all the troops in Jingbian Military Town.
Of his one hundred cavalrymen, only about thirty were scouts and real cavalrymen, and the rest were infantrymen and archers. The horses were just means of transportation to provide them with support.
Seeing about fifty Tartar cavalrymen charging towards them, Zhong Dahu hurriedly ordered the infantrymen and archers to dismount and form a frontal defense, while another thirty or so cavalrymen waited for an opportunity to move from the flanks.
This was the regular formation used by the Dayin army to deal with the Northern Di grassland cavalry.
When the Tatars came within a hundred paces, thirty archers suppressed them with arrows from behind a line of thirty infantrymen.
The Tatar cavalry had already taken out their longbows and shot arrows from their horses.
This group of Tatar cavalry probably only wanted to tie down the support troops, patrolling about a hundred steps away from the Dayin Army to tie them down, and had no intention of charging.
Zhong Dahu's thirty cavalrymen did not dare to attack rashly. Once they went out, they would definitely be eaten by the enemy.
Both sides launched long-range attacks, with arrows flying back and forth. It was quite lively!
