Among the captured Tartar military rations, there were some air-dried beef, which was not enough to get into the pot, Wu Meiniang sent it to the children in her family, this girl was sensible, and she left it in her arms for a long time to Li Rui.

"Good baby, keep it for yourself...... My brother just eats it. ”

Li Rui wanted to refuse, but Xiao Wanwan put her feet on her feet, handed the beef jerky to his mouth, blinked his eyes and waited for him to open his mouth.

"Then do you want to give Brother Xiang a look?" Li Rui made an inch, leaned his face over and said.

"Let's chirp~!"

The little girl kissed him on the face, and then ran back to Wu Meiniang and buried her little head in her arms, but she looked shy, which made the young people around laugh.

"Brother Rui, if Li Rui kills the Tartars like Sun Da Niu, do you have any money to take?" A farmer covered in patches asked at the opportunity.

When other farmers heard this, they also pricked up their ears.

In the previous life, it was said that poverty was the original sin, and in this chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, human life was even more worthless.

"Of course there is, Li Rui killed the Tartar soldiers before, and seized a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and when the Tartars come again, everyone just has to fight bravely to kill the enemy, one to defend the family, and the other to earn a wife's capital, even if the battle is dead, Li Rui will personally hand over thirty taels of silver to your family!" Li Rui replied in the affirmative.

……

……

At midnight, Li Rui, who was hiding under the fort wall to rest, was awakened by the slight shaking of the ground, and immediately the fort door was opened, and the old uncle and other military households who had dispersed to guard rushed into the fort on horseback.

"Beware of rejecting horses!"

Li Rui hurriedly reminded him.

Several military households reined in their horses, and only then did they see clearly by the light of the bonfire in the fort, and a circle of wooden horses with interlaced canine teeth was arranged in front of them in a C shape, sealing the entrance to the cave of the fort gate, and behind the horses, there was a chest-high and low wall piled up with broken beds, door panels and other objects.

Fortunately, Li Rui reminded them, otherwise they would have to hit the refusal horse and string human meat candy gourds!

Some young men moved away from the only movable refusal horse, and let a few military households enter along the gap, and the old uncle led by Uncle Fu found Li Ruiyu and reported: "The Tartar army is coming, just behind Li Rui. ”

"Prepare for war~!"

Li Rui shouted and climbed the fort wall to check.

A mile or so outside the fort, there were indeed dotted torches.

The light of these torches quickly approached the Great Reef Fort, and it was not long before it was close, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves also reached the ears of all the young people.

By the light of the torches, the number of people could be faintly seen, as the traitor said, about two hundred people!

By the light of the torches, the number of people could be faintly seen, as the traitor said, about two hundred people!

"Dudu Dudu~!"

The Tartars only stayed for a moment, and the horns sounded in the formation, but they were going to attack directly.

More than 200 Manchu warriors, attacking a small ruined military fort, really don't need any planning, one drum can be fired!

"Bring that traitor and the wounded Tartar soldiers." Li Rui shouted under the fort wall.

"No~!"

A sound of promise was heard from a hut under the fort wall, and ten young men drove the traitor and four wounded Tartar soldiers who could barely walk up the fort wall.

In the morning, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, and originally captured six wounded Tartar soldiers, all of whom were seriously wounded, and two died after being carried back, and the remaining four were about the same, but just in case, Li Rui still ordered them to be tied up and guarded by ten young men at all times.

The young men tied five captives to the stakes they had prepared in advance, and set them up at the top of the wall, and lit torches around them so that the siege Tartars could see them.

When the Tartar cavalry approached about 200 meters of the fort wall, they probably saw the five companions on the fort wall clearly, and unsurprisingly began to hesitate.

"Attack, kill all the Han dogs~!"

Ao Bai pulled out his scimitar and ordered indifferently.

"Kill all the Han dogs~!"

The tartar cavalry, who had paused, urged their horses to speed up again, and rushed towards the fortress wall with a roar.

"Ma Dan, the first minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, is really ruthless enough."

Li Rui looked at the Tatar cavalry after a pause for a moment, and then rushed towards the Tartar cavalry, and couldn't help muttering.

When he interrogated the traitor before, he had already learned that the Niu Lu Ezhen of this team of Tartars was the legendary Aobai.

Just looking at this resolute posture, it is indeed a difficult and ruthless character to deal with!

"Throw all the torches on the fort wall to Li Rui outside, and extinguish the bonfire." Li Rui ordered loudly.

"Brother Rui, isn't throwing the torch outside to light the way for the Tartar?" A young man asked inexplicably.

"It is to illuminate them, so that we can see them, but they can't see us, and they can't find anyone if they want to shoot with a bow and arrow, who do you say takes advantage?"

Li Rui knew that they didn't understand the huge advantage of 'turning the whistle into a dark whistle', so he had to explain in a loud voice.

"Brother Rui'er's bad idea, it's really one ...... after another"

"Smack, what is damage, this is called cleverness, hurry up and throw the torch out."

The young man who asked the question muttered suddenly, but was slapped on the back of the head by his companion, and immediately shut up honestly, and threw the torch out of the castle with all his might.

……

"Puff~!"

At this time, the Tartar cavalry, which rushed towards the fortress wall, suddenly rushed to the front of several war horses as if they had encountered a tripping horse, and fell forward with a bang, and the Tartars on the horseback were thrown out fiercely.

"Haha, the Tartars are on their heels!"

"This fall is hard enough, if you don't break your neck, you have to fall half-crippled."

When the young men on the fort wall saw this, they immediately burst out laughing, and the tense atmosphere was also relieved.

Since there was no time to dig a trench, Li Rui summoned the old and young to dig a dense pit within 100 meters outside the fort, the size of a volleyball at the entrance of the cave, knee-deep, with sharpened chopsticks built-in, covered with dead branches and rotten leaves.

Anyway, whether it's a person or a horse, as long as you step on it, it's definitely a lame end!

Of course, there was no digging on the main road into the fort, otherwise Uncle Fu would have stepped on a trap when they came back from outside.

"The Han dogs are despicable, all dismount, bow and arrow cover to move forward!"

Ao Bai changed the order to attack at the first moment, and all the Tartar cavalry jumped off their horses and hurled their bows and arrows at the dark fortress wall, as they walked forward so as not to step on the trap again.

"Woo Woo Woo ~!"

"Bang bang bang~!"

The young men who were good at shooting with bows and arrows on the walls of the fort shot arrows under the cover of their companions' shields, and the bird-gunners also opened fire.

"Stop, don't panic, listen to Li Rui's order to fire again!"

Li Rui shouted loudly, although the bird gun claims to be able to shoot a hundred paces away, which is about 150 meters, but if you really want to shoot at a target 100 meters away, it is a joke, no one knows where the lead bullet will fly.

When the bird gunners heard Li Rui's order, they had to suppress the anxiety and even fear in their hearts, and looked at the Tartar approaching step by step...... Wait quietly!
