"Fourth uncle, it's not good...... A large army of Tartar cavalry is coming to our side! ”

At this time, the military household, who was standing guard on the fort wall, suddenly shouted urgently.

A timid family woman was so frightened when she heard the words that she fainted directly, and the other women were all pale and trembling.

They saw how miserable the maiden and the woman who had been buried before had died, and how could they not be afraid when the Tartar soldiers came to kill them?

"What are you afraid of, the girls and children go home to hide, and the men all copy the guys for Li Rui!"

"No~!"

Zhao Laosi shouted, and the scene quieted down in an instant, and then more than 100 old men agreed in unison.

The military household is a father and son who are soldiers, but the Ming Dynasty did not have family planning, so there are not a few men in a family, and no one will back down at this time of life and death!

At this time, Wu Meiniang suddenly picked up a large package from the war horse, untied it and threw it on the ground, and said coquettishly: "These gold and silver treasures, Li Rui's family was originally going to share them equally with everyone, but now put them here, you will fight with the Tartars, and those who kill the Tartars can get thirty taels of silver...... If there are disabled or war dead, they can also get 30 taels of silver for a pension! ”

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and then their eyes suddenly turned red, and even the trembling women, when they saw the gold, silver and jewels scattered on the ground, stopped trembling instantly, and only the hungry children, with big heads and small bodies, were still cowering into the arms of adults.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, if you talk about who is the most miserable, it is definitely not a military household, one person in a military household is a whole family of military households, no food, no land, if you want to go out to make a living, you can't, if you are caught, you will be punished as a deserter.

At this time, the heavy reward is in front of him, don't say that he is desperate to defend the family and the Tartars, that is, let them wipe their necks and commit suicide now, as long as they can let their families get thirty taels of silver, I am afraid that someone will hack themselves to death without hesitation!

After a moment of silence, everyone turned their eyes to Li Rui with extreme longing, as if they wanted to get his affirmative answer.

Li Rui looked at Wu Meiniang, and sighed in his heart that it was really the empress, and it was not a lottery opportunity in vain, so he met everyone's eyes at the moment, nodded heavily, and said: "Since this is the case, everyone fights bravely to kill the enemy, and you don't have to worry about what happens behind you!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill~!!"

The more than 100 old men immediately shouted in unison excitedly, as if they couldn't vent their emotions without this.

"Brother Rui, you put on this set of Tartar iron armor." Zhao Laosi picked a relatively intact pair of the captured armor and handed it to Li Rui.

"Thank you, Uncle Si."

Li Rui took the armor unceremoniously, after all, when facing the bow and arrow, having armor to protect it is equivalent to a few more lives, Wu Meiniang hurriedly stepped forward to help him put it on, as well-behaved as a little daughter-in-law.

Fan ...... That, Mei Niang, you don't need you here, you just take care of this child. Li Rui pointed to the girl who was tugging at the corner of his clothes and did not let go, and instructed.

"Brother, are you going to fight the bad guys?" The girl asked, staring at her big watery eyes.

"Yes, fight the bad guys."

"Wanwan wants to fight the bad guys with her brother."

The girl clenched her little fists and tried to make a vicious appearance.

Li Rui looked at the bandages on her head, knowing that she was thrown against the wall by the Tartar soldiers, most of them had psychological shadows, and couldn't help pinching her little nose with pity and said: "Wanwan, right, when you grow up, my brother will take you to fight the bad guys again, now be obedient, let Sister Mei Niang take care of you first, otherwise my brother will be angry." ”

"Well, listen to my brother."

Xiao Wanwan nodded busily, but she was also well-behaved and sensible.

"The sword has no eyes, and Engong should be more careful." Wu Meiniang helped Li Rui tie up the armor belt, picked up Xiao Wanwan and saluted him.

……

……

Outside the fort, the Tartar cavalry has approached three hundred meters away, saying that it is a brigade, but in fact, the number is only about fifty, but all the Tartars have two horses and even many horses, so it looks like a mighty one!

These Tartars were probably startled by the shouting and killing in the fort just now, so they did not attack directly, but only divided a few sentry scouts and went around the big reef fort to check the form.

There were sentry scouts who relied on their superb riding skills, and even approached within fifty meters of the fort wall, and the soldiers shot arrows at them all missed, and the tartar became more and more bold, and he opened his bow and arrows in the gallop, and shot at Li Rui, who was wearing iron armor on the fort wall.

Because this tartar recognized it, the iron armor on Li Rui's body was his companion's!

"Huh~!"

The iron helmet of Li Rui flew by, and the soldiers on the fort wall were startled, and they bent down to hide behind the wall battlements.

"Waha......"

Outside the fort came the arrogant laughter of the Tartar cavalry, and the old faces of the soldiers turned red.

"Xiu'er, let you show off!"

Li Rui drew his gun in his hand, held it in his hands in a half-squatting position, and aimed it at the Tartar outside the fort.

"Bang~!"

A sound similar to a firebolt sounded, and the ridicule of the Tartar outside the fortress wall stopped abruptly, and immediately the stunned gaze of the soldiers made the Tartar fall from his horse.

"Kill! Kill! Kill~!!! ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then immediately raised their arms excitedly and shouted again.

In the Ming Dynasty, the effective killing of firearms such as bird guns was about 50 meters, but because it was a smoothbore gun, there was no accuracy if it was more than 20 meters.

Therefore, in the eyes of the military households, Li Rui can hit the Tartar with one shot with that strange-looking handcuff, which is absolutely amazing, and it is naturally extremely exciting!

But the soldiers were excited, but the Tartars were furious, and three other sentinels, seeing their comrades fall from their horses, shot arrows at the fort wall, and one of them tried to retrieve the body.

"Bang ......"

Zhao Laosi held a rattan card to cover, and Li Rui fired four or five shots in a row, killing the Tartar who snatched the corpse again with the people and horses.

The other two Tartars finally realized that something was wrong, and did not dare to snatch the corpse anymore, so they immediately turned their horses around and returned to their own formation.

"Hahaha, dog tartar!"

"Brother Rui continues to fight, don't let the Tartars run away."

The soldiers cheered and urged Li Rui to shoot the other two Tartars as well.

But Li Rui knew that he had a few pounds and a few taels, and he killed the first galloping Tartar, and there was an element of luck, so he killed the second Tartar and fired four or five shots in a row, and it would be a waste of bullets to shoot again at this time.

"Brother Rui, where did you get this handcuff?" Zhao Laosi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Picked up from the ruined temple." Li Rui casually lied.

"Oh!"

Zhao Laosi nodded strangely, but did not ask any more.

Li Rui was originally a stupid boy, but today he suddenly seemed to be enlightened, he had long been surprised, but it was a good thing after all, and he was mostly happy as an elder.

"Woo doo~!"

At this time, a dull horn suddenly sounded in the Tartar formation outside the fort, Zhao Laosi's face changed, and he shouted urgently: "All ready, the Tartars are going to attack!" ”
