Niu Mantun went all out, I don't know how long he has been working? He forgot the threat of death, and his index finger couldn't even stand up to the sound of a cannon! I don't know how long it took, Niu Mantun's left hand was numb from the shock, and he couldn't hold the chisel before he came to his senses.

So he dropped the chisel and hammer and stepped back and came up with another man. With trembling hands, he picked up his shield and put it above his head, ready to take a look at the city. But before he could stick his head out, he heard a "poof" sound from the wooden raft above his head, as if something had fallen on it. Immediately, a lot of dust-like things were spilled through the cracks of the wooden rows.

Niu Mantun felt that what was spilled was not dust. He grabbed a handful and put it on his nose to sniff it, and the result surprised him! Because what flowed from the cracks was nothing else, but gunpowder!

Niu Mantun heard Gan Delen say that this kind of defensive weapon is called fire felt! It is to use a specially treated quilt dipped in a large amount of gunpowder to invest in the city, and then use rockets or torches to light it. When the fire burns, it will be seriously injured if it doesn't die!

Niu Mantun, who reacted, didn't care about others, shouted and ran quickly to warn his companions, he had already run more than a dozen steps along the city wall, and then dared to look back at the situation. Hearing Niu Mantun's warning, the others fled without seeing what was happening. Niu Mantun watched a torch fall from the city, and the fire ignited in an instant! The fire ignited the car completely!

And the flames that sprayed everywhere led to the gunpowder that was thrown, and the flames enveloped the few people who were running slowly! At the same time, I don't know what is mixed in the fire felt, and there are bursts of pungent smoke! It was so stimulated that Niu Mantun's eyes hurt and his throat itched! Non-stop coughing!

Niu Mantun was very flustered at the moment, because he knew that he was exposed to an unsheltered place, and at any moment a bow and arrow or a lead bullet would fly and knock him down! Just as he was looking for a shelter, he heard a familiar but translocated voice shouting, "Help! Help me! ”

Niu Mantun turned his head to look at it, and instantly recognized the source of the sound! The sound came from a burning man covered in fire! Through the flames, Niu Mantun could vaguely see Xiao Xiucai's face distorted by pain!

At this time, Xiao Xiucai, who was covered in fire, also found the stunned Niu Mantun. He ran desperately to him, hoping that Niu Mantun would save him! But how dare Niu Mantun let him get close! He didn't even know how much gunpowder he had on him? Once he gets close to ignite himself, won't he be buried with Xiaoxiu?

So just when Xiao Xiucai was approaching, Niu Mantun, who was extremely frightened, subconsciously slashed the knife in his hand obliquely! This knife accurately slashed at Xiao Xiucai's neck! The sword slashed, and a large stream of blood gushed out, and the blood that spurted out even suppressed the flames in his chest! Xiao Xiucai immediately fell to the ground, and after a few convulsions, he didn't move. But the flames were still burning on him!

Niu Mantun was stunned when he saw Xiao Xiucai falling! He didn't know what he was thinking at this moment? Completely forgetting that you are still on the battlefield! Just when he was stunned for a moment, an arrow came from nowhere, and it shot squarely into his chest! The huge impact directly knocked him to the ground!

At this time, Niu Mantun's heart was blank! It wasn't until half a day later that he felt a tingling pain in his chest. At this moment, the gong for the retreat of the Houjin army sounded. Niu Mantun didn't know where he got the strength, so he staggered to his feet, clutching the arrow wound on his chest and trying to find the right direction!

At this moment, a figure pounced, stuffed a shield in Niu Mantun's hand, picked up the shield and war knife on the ground, pulled Niu Wantun, and the two people staggered backwards. Niu Mantun had already recognized that the person who pulled him was Zhang Liang at this time.

Niu Mantun wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak. With every step he took, there was a tingling in his chest. But by this time reason had returned to his mind. Judging by the feeling in the chest, it seems that this arrow does not penetrate deep into the flesh! But while running, he still didn't dare to pull out the arrow, so he could only run backwards with Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang kept helping Niu Mantun to a safe place before putting him down and lying down. Then he took out a knife and cut his clothes, looked at the wound carefully before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay! Nothing! It's a shame that you wear more in winter! The arrow is not deep in the flesh! ”

After speaking, he rode on Niu Mantun, held the arrow shaft in his right hand and said to Niu Mantun: "Grit your teeth! Hold back! ”

Niu Mantun immediately gritted his teeth and waited for Zhang Liang to pull out the arrow. Zhang Liang was not ambiguous, he saw Niu Mantun's cheeks bulging, knowing that he gritted his teeth, the right hand holding the arrow shaft was raised suddenly, and the arrow was smoothly pulled out!

Blood spurted out of the wound and splashed his face! And Niu Mantun couldn't stand the pain anymore, and screamed again and again! The body keeps bouncing! If Zhang Liang hadn't ridden on him, I'm afraid that Niu Mantun would have jumped up in pain at this time!

Zhang Liang didn't care about Niu Mantun's pain at this time, so he quickly took out the prepared cotton cloth and wound medicine to help Niu Mantun wrap his wounds. When Niu Mantun was panting evenly, and the wound on his chest was no longer oozing blood, he picked up Niu Mantun and walked in the direction of Daying.

When the two returned to the camp, they found that Song Yonglian and another Aha had escaped. Seeing that Niu Mantun was injured, the two men hurriedly rushed over and helped him lie down. After asking about the situation, the two of them were relieved.

The three of them relaxed and sat down, and listened to Niu Mantun say slowly: "Xiao Xiucai is dead!" I hacked it to death! ”

Song Yonglian and Ah Ha looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what was going on! Zhang Liang said on the side: "Brother Niu, I have seen everything!" I don't blame you for this! He is already covered with fire, and if he comes near to you, you too will die! ”

After speaking, Zhang Liang told the specific situation to Song Yonglian and the two of them. Song Yonglian sighed after hearing this and said, "Brother Niu, you can't blame you for this!" I have long told Xiao Xiucai that when I go into battle, this life is not my own. ”

Because of Xiao Xiucai's death, several people were not in high mood. So they rested in their tents until the afternoon and then came out to inquire about the situation. As a result, the surprising news came that the Great Khan had decided not to attack Ningyuan City again! Instead, prepare to attack Kyaw Hwa Island tomorrow!

However, this attack on Juehua Island did not use the Han army flag, and all the horses used were Jurchens. That being the case, several people were happy to rest in the camp. A few days later, the news came that the Great Khan captured Juehua Island, captured countless wolf grasses, annihilated thousands of people, burned more than 2,000 sea ships, and won a great victory!

However, after capturing Juehua Island, the Houjin army did not fight Ningyuan again, but directly withdrew to Shenyang. Since this battle was the only time that the Great Khan did not win, it reduced the morale of the Later Jin army.

However, the withdrawal is good news for Niu Mantun and them. After all, their purpose of coming out this time has been achieved. A few people grabbed a lot of food, enough to survive this spring famine.

By the time they returned home, Niu Mantun's arrow wound was almost healed. Several families gathered in the courtyard of Niumantun to greet them. Niu Mantun stood in the middle of the yard, patted the grain bag on the car and said to Zhang Liang and them: "Divide the grain." Xiao Xiucai's share was also sent to his father. I'm not going to go. ”

As soon as Niu Mantun finished speaking, Zhang Liang's wife said: "Brother Niu, you just came back and didn't know that Li Xiucai was dead!" ”

Several people were taken aback when they heard this! Niu Mantun asked in surprise, "Dead?" How did he die? ”

Song Yonglian's mother-in-law sighed and said, "I hanged myself!" After you left, he couldn't find Xiaoxiu, so he came to ask us. We had no choice but to talk about Xiaoxiu going to war with you. He sighed and went home without saying anything. We didn't take it seriously at the time! We didn't see him for a few days, so we knocked on his door. Only then did I find out that he had hanged himself at home! The body was buried with the help of several of our families! ”

Hearing this, several people were silent on the spot. After a long time, Niu Mantun said, "Let's divide all the grain." ”

After saying that, Niu Mantun carried his clothes and armor into the room. When he packed up his clothes and armor and sat on the kang, he remembered Xiao Xiucai's face wrapped in flames again! He involuntarily whispered, "This dog's world! ”
