In the winter when the cold wind is raging, they use weeds and dead branches mixed with cold water to freeze around the tent into a simple windproof wall to protect against the cold, which is a habit passed down from generation to generation. It didn't take long to dig holes for watering, and it didn't take long to build these two gables with local materials.

Shen Rong stabilized his position slightly, and immediately shouted: "Beat the flag, order Zhu Yi to lead the team to attack forward, Guo Cong and Xu Yongning lead people to attack the enemy troops on both sides, and at all costs must break out of a gap." ordered Chen Chengfeng and Zheng Hong to move closer to this side quickly to prevent being cut off by the Tartars. ”

Guo Cong and Xu Yongning ordered the archers to shoot arrows at the two wings of the enemy to suppress them, and they could not attack on horseback, so they were easy to be used as a live target, so they let all the cavalry dismount and hold shields and spears to storm the slopes on both sides to buy time for the army to break through. On the hillside was the command of the general Bulta, who saw that the Ming army quickly stabilized its position and began a counterattack, and immediately ordered: "Shoot the Ming army waving the flag, shoot the war horse, and stop the Ming army from gathering!" ”

Sharp arrows poured down into the valley like a torrential rain, so that the standard-bearer was shot like a stinger and killed on the spot, and at the same time, many horses were hit by arrows, and the war horses roared in the valley in pain, and the Ming army was trampled by the war horses and suddenly the formation was chaotic, and the offensive was also blocked.

The division of troops to attack was blocked, Guo Cong and Xu Yongning had to join forces to brave the rain of arrows to attack the right side of the hill, this hill is lower and gentler than the left side, control this commanding height, and then organize archers to counter-suppress the Tartars, you can stabilize the position. Otherwise, the army will be left in the valley and will only be able to die.

It was a matter of life and death for the whole army, and Shen Rong also personally came to supervise the battle with a knife, and the trapped beast-like Ming army roared, holding swords, guns and shields and staring at blood-red eyes, and his face was hideous and he launched attacks on the hillside again and again. In war, the attacking side often has to pay a heavy price, especially in this unfavorable terrain conditions, the Pyrites hide behind the ice wall and condescendingly bend their bows and arrows to shoot at the target below the mountain, and it does not take much effort to fall hundreds of corpses of Ming soldiers on the hillside. Seeing the death of his comrades-in-arms who had just been talking happily beside him, but no one sighed, and no one even glanced at the fallen comrades, in this battlefield of blood and fire, death became so commonplace, it would grind everyone's mind into insensitivity.

Under the leadership of the chief flag officer and the small flag officer, the Ming army stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to rush forward, seeking a glimmer of life with the determination to die. The Tsmuts who confronted them on the hillside relied on their geographical advantages and excellent archery skills to hold their positions, and they did not dare to be careless, because they also knew that once the Ming army rushed to the commanding heights of the mountaintop, all their efforts would be in vain.

"My lord—" The herald hurriedly rode to Shen Rong at this time, and reported: "The valley is long and narrow, and Chen Qianhu and Zheng Qianhu cannot get closer to gather here, so they ask your lord to break through to the other side of the valley. ”

Shen Rong saw that his army was suppressed by the Rats, and every step he made had to pay a great price. In this case, it seemed impossible for Chen Chengfeng and Zheng Hong to lead the rear army to assemble on their side, so he waved his Yanling knife and said with a blue face: "Then you will send an order to Chen Chengfeng and Zheng Hong, and ask them to wait for an opportunity to break through." ”

"Yes." The herald hurried away.

"Report-" A general flag officer ran back with blood on his face and reported: "My lord, the Tartars are guarding the valley mouth, arrows are raining, Zhu Qianhu has led people to rush several times without opening the gap, and please increase the number of soldiers and horses......"

"All the troops are suppressed by the Tartars, where are the soldiers and horses to give him?" Shen Rong interrupted the words of the chief flag officer, and shouted angrily: "Tell him that if you want to rush out, you can't spare your life, the soldiers are dead, the small flag officer and the chief flag officer will fill it, and if it doesn't work, let the hundred households and him Zhu Qianhu fill the ......" "Boom-" slashed the ground with a knife, "This official has no soldiers and horses here to increase his strength, go, lead the way in front of the head, this official wants to see if Zhu Qianhu can give our whole army a way out." ”

......

The Tarts sealed the mouth of the valley with chariots, boulders, and walls of ice.

Under the cover of the dense rain of arrows covering the shooting, a large number of Rakites pounced from the mid-mountain bunker to the valley mouth to block the way out of the Ming army, the valley mouth was narrow, only dozens of people had their bows in hand, and the arrow rain continued, even if thousands of troops and horses could not rush out.

The purpose of Taniguchi's Pyrites was only to block the Ming army, so they only held the key points and did not attack. Each of these Erat archers carried at least four quiver pots, and they fought to the death of the Ming army. Zhu Yi commanded the Ming army to rush several times, but left nothing but hundreds of corpses.

"Lord Qianhu, we can't rush anymore," one of Zhu Yi's subordinates pleaded: "If this continues, the brothers will be exhausted." ”

"It's death to stay," Zhu Yi said with a pair of blood-red eyes: "Gather the brothers again, this time I will personally lead the team, and we must open this gap." ”

The attack of the Ming army began again, Zhu Yi rushed towards the valley with a spear in his helmet, and hundreds of cavalry rushed forward with his shout. Looking down from the mountain, they formed a huge arrow to poke at the line of resistance of the Urats at the mouth of the valley. And on the tip of this arrow is their Qianhu Zhu Yi.

The rain of arrows poured down again, and people kept falling off their horses, but Zhu Yi was unmoved, his eyes staring ahead. Just when there were still dozens of steps away from the Taniguchi bunker, suddenly the war horse under his crotch neighed, and he fell forward, and Zhu Yiden was overturned.

From the armor he was wearing, the Pyrites could tell that he was a high-ranking general, and a dozen people rushed out of cover with a howl, waving their scimitars and rushing towards Zhu Yi.

"Lord Qianhu has fallen from his horse," exclaimed one of the chief flag officers, "go and protect Lord Qianhu." At that moment, more than a dozen horsemen rushed towards Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi's armor was heavy, and when he finally stood up, a sturdy man rushed to him with a scream, holding a scimitar high and slashing at his head. Zhu Yi hurriedly pulled out the waist knife, and with a "bang-" sound, the knife in Zhu Yi's hand was almost knocked away, and he took a few steps back, and the blood in his chest surged.

"This Tartar has a lot of arm strength." Zhu Yi was shocked. The Turat did not give him a chance to breathe, and then there was a loud "boom" of ...... slash, and a Ming cavalryman galloped towards him, swinging his sword and striking the knife of the Zarat with the momentum. The two knives flew out at the same time, and the Ming cavalry flew down from his horse, scuffling with the Ts.

"Lord Qianhu, let's go!" A small flag officer rushed to Zhu Yi, pulled him onto his horse, turned his horse's head and retreated, while the roaring Pyrites were stopped by a group of Ming cavalry......

The fall of the main general greatly dampened the morale of the Ming army, and more people turned their horses and retreated, leaving behind corpses in another place.

The Ming army's attack failed again, and nearly a hundred Ming knights fell in front of the narrow valley pass, and the unridden war horses ran blindly in front of the formation, followed by the cheers of the Rakites.

......

When he returned to his front, Zhu Yi angrily threw his helmet to the ground, and was just about to scold, when he saw Wei Baihu come over and say, "Lord Qianhu, the commander is here." ”

"Lord Shen is here?" Zhu Yi was overjoyed in her heart, grabbed Wei Baihu's collar and asked, "How many people did Lord Shen bring?" ”

"That's it...... and commanded the envoy alone. Wei Baihu stammered.

"Just Lord Shen?" Zhu Yi let go of Wei Baihu's collar in disappointment.

"Why, just the official alone, you admit it?" A majestic voice sounded in his ears. Zhu Yi turned his face and saw Shen Rong's gloomy face.

"Lord Shen." Zhu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"You didn't rush out, did you?" Shen Rong glanced at it and asked.

"I personally led the team under the mark, but unfortunately the horse missed the front hoof, so I ......" Zhu Yi grunted in his throat, and the following words choked.

"Then take a break and lead the team to rush." There was no sense of blame in Shen Rong's tone.

"But...... But the brothers under the mark are dead and wounded," Zhu Yi glanced at Shen Rong worriedly, and said boldly: "There are fewer and fewer people who can charge. Your Excellency...... Can you ...... again?"

"This official knows what you want to say," Shen Rong interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Now that all the departments are entangled in the Tartars and fighting hard, they are even more short of manpower than yours. Draw everyone to you, and the Tartar will immediately press it down, and at that time, let alone rush out, everyone, including the officials, will die in this valley. Seeing Zhu Yi's frustrated face, he asked, "When you retreated, did the Tartars chase them out?" ”

"Nope!"

"Well," Shen Rong pondered for a moment and said, "So the manpower of the Tartars is also very limited...... "Pressing the handle of the knife and continuing, "It's been fighting for so long."

Now, the Tartars have never taken the initiative to attack, so it can be seen that they don't have many people, otherwise they wouldn't have to go to great lengths to lure us into this valley...... As long as there are tens of thousands of people, we can surround and kill us in the snow. ”

"Your Excellency means that there are only a few thousand of them?" Hearing Shen Rong say this, Zhu Yideng came to the spirit again.

"That's the case," Shen Rong glanced at him and said: "But you don't have to be too happy, we fell for their tricks and were surrounded here, the current situation is extremely passive, if it drags on, it will be extremely unfavorable to us......" said in an accentuated tone: "Who knows if there are any reinforcements from them nearby, once their reinforcements arrive, then everything will be over!" So, we have to open the gap as soon as possible to get out. ”

"What my lord said is," Zhu Yi said with an impassioned face: "Under the mark, I will lead people to rush again, and this time I will open a way for the whole army even if I die." ”

"Don't be in a hurry first," Shen Rong waved his hand, "I will only hit and rush, that is a reckless move." Let's send someone to investigate first, and see where to find a weak spot as a suitable breakthrough," looked up at the sky, and it gradually darkened, and pondered: "It is better for us to act when it is dark, and then we will have a greater certainty." ”

————————————

When Yang Muyun, Lin Mei'er and Mo Buyu came out of the tunnel, it was already past noon. The place where they were was was in a deserted courtyard, and the yard was covered with bluestone slabs, and they came out with a stone slab on top.

"It's finally out," Mo Buyu stretched his waist and abdomen, and said with a long breath: "I'm really afraid that I won't be able to get out, if I stay in this tunnel for the rest of my life, I must be crazy!" ”

"You still want to stay in there for the rest of your life?" Lin Mei'er glanced at him and said, "If you don't eat or drink under this ground, you won't be able to live in a few days." ”

"Miss Lin is right," Mo Buyu smiled, scratched his head and said, "You also feel hungry in my stomach, how can I find something to eat?" ”

"You know how to eat," Yang Muyun glanced at him and said: "This group of Tartars must have come on horseback, they all died in the tunnel, the horse must still be there, you go to look for it, and if you find the horse, you will find food." ”

"Yes, your lord is always faster than my brain." Mo Buyu patted his head and turned to leave.

"Be careful, there may be Tartars out there."

"I know," Mo said without replying, "I can deal with a few Tartars by myself, and I don't need to work on you and Miss Lin." ”

"This rammed goods," Yang Muyun shook his head and said to Lin Mei'er: "Miss Lin, let's go to the house to rest for a while, shall we?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Meier's eyes were like water, and she didn't know how to obey Yang Muyun's words.

......

This is the most ordinary courtyard in this abandoned castle, and the furnishings in the courtyard room are also very simple, who would have thought that the authentic exit would be in such an inconspicuous place.

Yang Muyun wiped the dust on the tables and chairs in the room, and then helped Lin Meier to sit down on a chair.

"You're really not worried about him?" Lin Mei'er glanced at him and asked.

"Those three masters have all been solved," Yang Muyun said very calmly: "Even if there are still people left, they are just a few small characters, and he can handle it completely without saying anything." ”

"Where did you get one of these living treasures?" The corners of Lin Meier's lips turned up slightly, "Still keep him by your side?" ”

"It was a chance encounter, right?" Yang Muyun smiled faintly, "Just like with Miss Lin, isn't it also a coincidence that you and I have met and met each other?" ”

"Wow," Lin Meier raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "You compare me with that rammer, see how I clean you up." As he spoke, he was about to get up, but his legs were sore and weak, and he sat back in the chair with an "ouch".

"Miss Lin, you are making a gaffe," Yang Muyun hurriedly said, "You must not move." ”
