Chapter 66: Snow-white steamed buns

Chapter 66 Snow White Steamed Bun Fight and Retreat, Although the Tartar Riding Technique is much stronger than that of the Ming Army, it is really difficult to quickly and completely disengage.

Xu Hai, who was carrying stones and rolling logs on top of the city and actively guarding, watched the fire from far and near in the sky in a daze, and he didn't know what was going on for a while.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves shook the city walls like thunder, and the soldiers and surviving strong men at the head of the city also lay on the head of the city and watched. However, despite the flames, it was impossible to see the specific situation in the distance, but the sound of killing was becoming clearer and clearer to tell that it was a fast-moving battlefield.

"My lord, could it be that our reinforcements have arrived?" The guard ran back from the east gate at some point, standing beside Xu Hai and guessing.

Xu Hai, who was dumbfounded, came back to his senses when he heard this, and then laughed out loud. "Hahaha, this doesn't need to be asked, with such a big formation, it must be Lord Wang who rushed to save us with the Datong Iron Horse."

When he said this, Xu Hai felt a little sad in his heart. If Lord Wang had arrived with the men and horses of Datong City a few days ago, maybe Brother Zhenhu would not have been killed.

"Go, immediately inform the people of the city, just say that our reinforcements have arrived, and they are now fighting a vicious battle with the Mongol Tatars, so that everyone has the money to contribute money and strength, prepare more food and send it outside the city, don't let the soldiers go hungry." Xu Hai commanded to the guards.

He is also a veteran in the army, and with such a big battle, I am afraid that it will not be separated until the winner is decided. Especially now that it's so late, and the people on both sides are mixed together, and no one dares to stop easily.

The two heavens of life and death are talking about the current feelings of the people of Yanghe City. Originally, I heard that the soldiers and strong men at the head of the city suffered heavy casualties, and the Tartar soldiers were still attacking the city. The tens of thousands of people who have taken refuge in the city are all heartbroken, and they only feel that their lives are not guaranteed today.

But soon after, news came that the Mongol Tatars had suddenly and inexplicably withdrawn from their troops. Even Xu Hai didn't know why, not to mention the people in the city, all of them were monks who were second and second, and they couldn't figure their heads. Despite this, the hanging heart did not let go, and God knows when the Tartar soldiers will come back.

At this time, it was just dark, but there was news that Lord Wang Chonggu of Datong had rushed to the rescue with his men and horses, and it was precisely because of their arrival that the Tartars did not have time to break the city. This news suddenly made the hearts of the people completely steady, and this life-saving grace, as long as it is a normal person, will be grateful.

Now, when they heard that the Yamen had sent someone to make some food for the soldiers who were fighting hard against the Mongolian Tatar soldiers outside the city, they all boiled their own stoves.

"Grandpa, the Ming army is chasing so closely, I'm afraid our prediction is not wrong." Bahannaji looked a little anxious. Nearly two hours have passed since the fighting, and if the two sides had fought at such an hour in normal times, they would have already retreated. But this time, the Ming army had no tendency to stop at all.

Looking at the still chaotic battlefield not far away, I also frowned. "This Han people's Qin is not simple. Originally, the warriors of the tribe were much stronger than their cavalry, but they also had no experience in night fighting, and now they were no different from them. Well, how is this good? ”

"Father Khan, since this is the case, then it is useless for us to retreat or not, it is better to stop and fight with them, I don't believe that our warriors can't even beat these weak Han people." Xin Ai couldn't bear it. It's so embarrassing to live so big, and it's the first time that I've been chased and beaten like this by the Han people I have always looked down on.

It's a pity that I didn't pay attention to him at all, and turned to this Bahan Naji and asked, "Najib, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Bahannaji wrinkled his brows and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Grandpa, the reason why the Han people are so entangled uncharacteristically must be because of some conspiracy. My grandson thinks that the sooner we get out, the better, if it is delayed, I am afraid that something really will happen. ”

I nodded silently and said, "Najib, then you can arrange it, let's withdraw from the pass as soon as possible." ”

Although Bahan Naji was speculating, I had completely concluded in my heart that the Ming army was really in ambush this time, and maybe he could capture Huyukou, but they deliberately released water to invite you into the urn.

Seeing Bahan Naji lead the order away, Xin Ai's face on the side turned the color of pig liver, his cheeks trembled, and his eyes were full of viciousness. Damn Najib, it looks like you're really trying to snatch the throne that belongs to me as an uncle in the first place.

The steaming meal was delivered out of Yanghe City, but the two teams of men and horses who were fighting together had already gone north, leaving only corpses all over the ground and the war horses with no owner screaming.

"My lord, what now?" The guard carrying a jar of wine turned his head to look at Xu Hai, whose face was dull.

Xu Hai was stunned for a while before turning around and reprimanding: "Nonsense, of course it's chasing!" Come on, those who can ride horses will follow the official, and let's go and meet the Mongolian Tartars for a while! With that, he shook off his stride and galloped towards the nearest warhorse.

Turning over and stepping onto the war horse, Xu Hai looked back and saw that his guards had also followed, and immediately glared and reprimanded: "Bastard, don't stay with the people in the city to search for the wounded, it's really a rice bucket!" ”

The guard was angry for a while, and complained in his heart: Didn't you just say that you can ride a horse and follow you to meet the Mongolian Tartars for a while, we can ride horses.

But complaining is complaining, and this stay to save people still has to be saved. Seeing Xu Hai take the people to beat the horses away, the guard stiffened his waist and began to command the people who came out of the city to deliver food to start searching for the wounded.

After all, it's a battle, and the speed of this march is much slower. All the strong men volunteered, carried a load of food and quickly followed Xu Hai to catch up, and rushed for half an hour, and finally caught up with the team.

"Whoever comes is named!" With a loud shout, Brother Erdan stopped in front of Xu Hai majestically with several brocade-clothed captains.

Shen Chongming knew that his martial arts were not high, and killing him would also add to the chaos. And the higher the status, the more you cherish your life, although this kind of thing can't be said, but it is clear in anyone's heart. So since the start of the fight, he has been very useless and cowered at the end. said that it was a remote command, but everything was handed over to Wang Chonggu to handle, and he didn't even have to move his brain.

As a guard, Brother Erdan has always been by Shen Chongming's side. Although he also wanted to fight with blood, he thought about Shen Chongming's safety and endured it.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared behind him, but he was startled by Brother Erdan, and hurriedly brought a team of brocade captains around him to meet him.

As soon as he heard that the other party was a mouthful of Beijing films, Xu Hai hurriedly shouted: "Don't misunderstand, brothers on the other side, we are the people of Yanghe City." ”

That being said, Brother Erdan, who couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly on this big night, didn't dare to believe it easily, and shouted: "Don't move!" Then he whispered to the two people around him: "Go up and have a look, be careful not to follow each other's ways." ”

The two lieutenants were also veterans, and although they knew that the other party would definitely be in danger once they were Tartars, they were not afraid, and they hit their horses and walked up without thinking.

"Steamed buns?" "Wotou?" There were two screams in a row, but the nervous Erdan brother was startled, and the ghost made a god pull out the blade on his waist.

"Steamed buns?" Shen Chongming's eyes widened, and his eyes lit up when he looked at the basket of steamed buns in front of him. To be honest, he's been hungry for the past half a day.

I had a breakfast before I set off in the morning, but I didn't eat a grain of rice on the way. Originally, he didn't feel hungry when he was worried about the war, but seeing that the Mongolian Tatars didn't resist and only knew how to flee blindly, Shen Chongming's heart was completely down-to-earth. In this case, even if Zhang Chi couldn't arrive before the Tartars escaped from Huyukou, he could be regarded as winning.

As soon as people are relieved, trivial things like eating, drinking, and Lazar will be entangled in their hearts. But the war was tense, where was there time to bury the pot and cook, Shen Chongming had to endure it. So now take a look at the snow-white steamed buns, how can Shen Chongming not be excited.

didn't have time to think about it, Shen Chongming got up and grabbed one, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to take a bite. However, when the steamed bun came to his mouth, Shen Chongming hesitated, raised his head and said, "Erdan, immediately send someone to send these foods to the front, and let the soldiers take turns to come down and eat a few bites." ”

Brother Erdan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Shen Chongming meant. Although so many of us are also hungry, the soldiers who fought with the Tartars on the battlefield must be even more hungry, and they need these steamed buns even more.

Without further ado, Brother Erdan picked up this basket of steamed buns and took the strong men who came to deliver food to the soldiers.

This scene moved Xu Hai, who was standing in front of Shen Chongming, to death. Fang Cai never had a chance to speak, but then he saw Shen Chongming sigh and sit under the big tree again, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general Yang and Wei commanded Xu Hai, I have seen Lord Qincha. ”

"Hehe, Lord Xu, hurry up and excuse me, the Tartars are besieging the city, and the people of Yanghe City have not suffered any damage, right?" Shen Chongming smiled. To say that this Xu Hai is also a smart person, such a big man actually knows how to order people to cook some food for the soldiers, and it seems that he is a master of leading soldiers.

Xu Haihan smiled: "Thank you for your concern, my lord, you came in time, and the people of my Yanghe City were not harmed." ”

"Hehe, yes, with only a thousand troops, you can withstand the Tartar soldiers for two hours. The people of the party are safe, and after the official returns to the capital, he will definitely ask for credit for you. ”

"Thank you, my lord, but the peace of Yanghe City depends on the courage of the strong men in the city, but there is no credit for the general." Xu Hai told Chen Da truthfully, listening to the sound of fighting not far away, he couldn't help but itch his hands.

"My lord, the battle ahead is in full swing, and the last general will go up with someone first, and I will have the opportunity to listen to your guidance again." After that, Xu Hai looked at Shen Chongming with blank eyes.

"Hahaha, okay, this official is waiting for the news of the Tartar rout." Shen Chongming laughed heartily, and said that the border army is a brave general, it seems that this is true.
