"Is everyone ready?"
"This is the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower. This is the first official battle against the Tartars since I, Zhao Muyun, became the squad leader."
"It's time to test the results of everyone's hard training over the past month!"
"Do you have the confidence to defeat the Tartars?"
At the southern foot of the Daqing Mountains, north of the Dahe River, in the Gobi Desert, Zhao Muyun summoned his nine brothers for pre-war mobilization.
The route to Daqing Mountain was intercepted, and Zhao Muyun decided to enter the Gobi Desert. Hun Gudu, with a hundred Tatar cavalrymen, immediately discovered Zhao Muyun's intention and chased him following the marks secretly left by Bai Shouren.
Both sides entered the Gobi Desert one after another and advanced more than 20 miles westward.
Wang Tiezhu, who was exploring the way, quickly found an excellent ambush point ahead and came back to report.
Zhao Muyun rushed over to check and found that this was a typical Yardang landform.
Countless weathered blood-red stone piles formed a high wall that stretched endlessly.
There is only one passage in the middle, which is an average of more than ten meters wide and one hundred meters long.
The weathered rock walls on both sides of the passage are towering, and the narrowest part is only four or five meters wide. When people stand in the passage and look up at the sky, they can only see a narrow strip of sky.
Such a dangerous place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is a good place to launch a surprise attack on the Tartar pursuers.
Zhao Muyun made a prompt decision and decided to ambush the Tartar pursuers here.
Hearing Zhao Muyun's extremely serious words, everyone looked stern.
Before, they raided small Tatar tribes along the way and killed the male Tatars, young and old, in the tribes, which could only be regarded as actual combat exercises.
After all, the combat effectiveness of those old and young male Tatars is far different from that of the young and middle-aged Tatars.
Among the one hundred Tatars chasing them now, there is one bronze-armored Tatar and nearly ten iron-armored Tatars.
In terms of numbers, they are already ten times more numerous than Zhao Muyun and his men.
You know, currently, if the Dayin soldiers want to kill a leather-armored Tartar from the Northern Di, they need the combined efforts of three to four people to have a chance.
If the Tatars were riding horses, more Dayin soldiers might be needed to join.
Now, Zhao Muyun and his men only had ten people, but they wanted to take the initiative to ambush a hundred Tartars. If it had been a month ago, they would have been scolded as lunatics, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and asking for humiliation.
However, after a month of devilish training and formation drills, they also have six compound bows, which are super long-range attack weapons.
In addition, due to the dangerous terrain with a narrow gap in the sky, the Tatars can only attack in groups of three or four at a time and cannot charge on horseback.
Zhao Muyun was very confident that he could completely defeat the pursuing Tartars.
At this moment, the battle between Beidi and Dayin in Shuozhou should have begun. Sending a hundred Tatars to encircle and kill their team should be the limit of the Tatars.
As long as they are defeated, the Tartars will not send troops to target Zhao Muyun for a period of time.
He could also go and look for the whereabouts of the Wuhuan people with great ease.
"Don't worry, Zhao Tou, we are all ready!"
Han Zhong, Tang Yanhai, Wang Tiezhu, Shi Yong, Wu Shangzhi, Tian Qing, Ma Bao, Lao Li and Lao Zhang all responded in unison with firm eyes.
When Zhao Muyun was mobilizing his men, Bai Shouren and his ten escorts and drivers stood by and watched with their hands folded.
Bai Shouren's face was full of contempt.
Zhao Muyun, ah Zhao Muyun, you are still so ignorant even when you are about to die!
It is simply wishful thinking for ten people to ambush a hundred Tartars. I am afraid they won't even know how they died.
Bai Shouren had secretly instructed his escorts that once the Tartars launched an attack, they would take the opportunity to create chaos for Zhao Muyun.
"Okay! Everyone, listen to my orders!"
Zhao Muyun was very satisfied to see the nine men eager to fight. He raised his hand high, then swung it down with force, saying in a deep voice, "Control them! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned cold and he moved like lightning. He was the first to rush to Bai Shouren and punched him in the head.
Seeing this, Han Zhong and others did not hesitate. Each of them targeted a bodyguard and attacked.
Bai Shouren never expected that Zhao Muyun would take the initiative at this moment.
By the time he reacted, Zhao Muyun's fist had already hit his temple. His vision went black and he fainted and fell to the ground.
The other escorts were still in a daze. When they saw their boss being knocked down by a single blow, they finally reacted and hurriedly drew their weapons, ready to fight with Han Zhong and the others.
"I've already subdued your boss. I only earn a few hundred coins a month. Why would you risk your life for me?"
However, Zhao Muyun's angry shout shocked them and made them hesitate.
However, there were also two or three people who were willing to be the running dogs of the Bai family. They were unmoved by Zhao Muyun's soul-searching. They roared and wanted to come over to snatch Bai Shouren away.
"I don't know what's good for me!"
The three-edged spears in Wang Tiezhu and Xiaowu's hands flashed with cold light, and the two lackeys were immediately covered in blood. The other bodyguards were frightened out of their wits and dropped their weapons one after another.
"Tie them all up first. We'll deal with them after we drive the Tartars away." Zhao Muyun's face was as cold as ice.
Since we want to ambush the Tartars, Bai Shouren and others who have secret dealings with the Tartars are an unstable factor and must be eliminated first so that we can focus on our task.
Wang Tiezhu, Xiaowu and Shi Yong immediately pulled off the belts of the escorts and tied up the hands and feet of Bai Shouren and the other eight people and put them aside.
The two dead bodyguards were dragged to the side of the road.
The blood on the ground was lightly covered with sand.
After doing all this, I heard the deafening sound of horse hooves outside the passage.
One hundred Tatar cavalrymen have arrived outside the passage.
