"What the fuck are the people up front doing! Hold it off for me. Liu Jinquan's voice roared in the snow, and was quickly drowned out by the shouts around him, "Damn, don't shrink back, otherwise it's better to put down the knife and let them kill!" ”

"My lord, watch out for the arrows!"

"Leave those alone, the Tartar arrows won't hurt me!"

In this improvised position, hastily erected fortifications were withstanding the onslaught of the Tartar army of 6,000. However, the soldiers of the Ming army knew what would happen if they let the Tartars break through, and they were all fighting desperately, and the Tartars would not be able to attack for a while. It's just that the morale here is okay, otherwise the situation would be unimaginable.

"Be careful!" Wang Degui shouted and pulled Zhang Fan off the horse, and an arrow flew over from the top of Zhang Fan's who fell to the ground.

Zhang Fan was startled, and before he could thank Wang Degui, more arrows came at them, and the two had to dodge in a hurry. Zhang Fan's horse was hit by a few arrows, and under the pain, the horse ran around and injured a few of his own people.

"**Raised Tartars! It seems that this time I have to explain it here! Wang Degui looked at the Tartars not far away with angry eyes swarming at the main gate of the camp, as if they wanted to break through the camp and enter. The Ming soldiers at the door were desperately resisting, not someone falling. Some were able to get up again, while others fell down forever.

"Degui, are you okay?" Zhang Fan was protected by Wang Degui with a shield, and looking at Wang Degui's bloody left arm, Zhang Fan asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, this little injury won't kill me." Wang Degui said with a big grin.

No sooner had the camp been set up than the Tartar army arrived. When Maubas saw Zhang Fan and them hiding here, he immediately ordered the whole army to raid, vowing to kill all the Ming troops here and avenge Bars. The Tartars were also not afraid of death, and when they saw the order from the Lord, they immediately rushed up. For a time, the gate of the camp was full of flesh and blood, arrows fell everywhere in the camp, and the Ming soldiers in the camp were also fighting back with bows and arrows. It's not that someone fell.

Zhang Fan can be said to have truly realized the horror of war this time! Although he didn't have to rush up to fight the Tartars, there were arrows flying around him all the time, and they would kill him at any time. When he was on the horse just now, he was a little stunned by the current situation, if Wang Degui hadn't pulled him, he might have been killed by an arrow.

Over there, Liu Jinquan was shouting in his neutral voice to command the battle, not afraid of the stray arrows that might attack him, and even an arrow flew against his cheek, leaving a blood mark, and he didn't care. Zhou Biao had already rushed to the gate of the camp and tore up with the Tartars, and the armor on his body was damaged in many places, and it was already stained with blood, but looking at his appearance, the blood of the Tartars was the majority.

"Aren't you afraid, sir?" Wang Degui saw Zhang Fan looking at the killing in front of him, there was no panic on his face, and asked.

"Then why aren't you afraid?" Zhang Fan asked rhetorically.

"I've been used to it for a long time, not to mention that even if I am killed by the Tartars, this is fate." Wang Degui said very freely, looked at the tartar outside, and he added, "But I have to pull two pads on my back when I die, otherwise how can I have the face to see my parents, brothers and sisters!" ”

Zhang Fan looked at Wang Degui, he didn't speak for a long time, the shouting and killing outside was still shocking, and there were still arrows flying around, but Zhang Fan didn't see it from time to time, he said to Wang Degui: "Although I am also on the battlefield for the first time, I haven't even seen a dead person before, but I am not afraid." I don't know why, maybe like you said, if I die, it's fate. I'm just worried that my mother will have no one to take care of me in the future. ”

"Your Excellency, you don't have to." Wang Degui pointed to his colleagues around him and said, "We all came to serve as soldiers voluntarily, and no one has children in the family, but since we came, we already thought of dying on the battlefield." Adults are different from us, adults don't actually have to come to this troubled water, as long as the adults say it, the court will inevitably let other people replace the adults. But why do you ......?"

"Why do you have to come to die?" Zhang Fan continued, "Actually, there is another person who wants to die?" But when I see the people who have fled to my house to ask for food, I am always worried that maybe one day it will be my family's turn. So when the court ordered me to be requisitioned, I decided to do my part. ”

"My lord......" Wang Degui listened to Zhang Fan's words, and just wanted to say something, Zhang Fan interrupted him.

"When I arrived in Ningxiawei with you, I did regret it when I heard that I was going to follow five thousand men to raid the Tartar brigade. At that time, I just wanted to do my part, but I didn't think about putting my life into it. ”

When Wang Degui heard this, he didn't interrupt Zhang Fan, he knew that Zhang Fan had something to say later.

"But you don't know, you changed me." Zhang Fan said.

"Me?" Wang Degui was a little surprised, why himself?

"Yes, after hearing your story, my mind changed." Zhang Fan nodded and said, "I used to think that even if the Tartars came, it would only be to grab some food, gold and silver, and besides, I am also a person, if he is a Jinshi one day and becomes an official in another place, he can also take his mother away and get out of this dangerous place." But I want me to know what happened to you, and my idea is stupid. Tartar is not an object that can be ruined, and if I really do this, I am afraid that I will become a prime minister in the future, and I will be uneasy. I know I could die here, but I think I deserve it. ”

Zhang Fan said and took out a letter, handed it to Wang Degui's hand, and said: "If I can't escape this catastrophe this time, you can call this letter to my mother and tell her: 'The child is not filial and cannot ......'"

"You go and say these words to Lingtang in person." Wang Degui didn't wait for Zhang Fan to finish speaking, pushed the letter back, and said, "I still want to go back to live with my wife and children!" ”

Zhang Fan looked at Wang Degui, didn't speak, put away the letter he wrote last night, smiled, and thought in his heart: "Yes, why be so pessimistic, I may not die yet!" No, I'm not going to die. ”

The sun gradually rose to the center, and the Tartar attack continued, but gradually slowed down. However, Liu Jinquan is not very optimistic, and the Tartars on the opposite side have already set up camp not far away, making it clear that they will consume themselves to the end.

After several hours of fighting, many people were hungry and tired, and the soldiers immediately began to cook, although it was only some dry food, but the soldiers also ate with relish.

The snow was littered with arrows, blood, and corpses. Zhang Fan felt that he should do something, and he saw the wounded in the army screaming in pain in the makeshift tents, and told Liu Jinquan that he had also read some medical books and wanted to help treat the wounded. Liu Jinquan felt that it was better to let Zhang Fan go there, at least it was safe, so he agreed to Zhang Fan's request.

Zhang Fan's body does have some memories of ancient medical books, but those are herbal acupuncture and the like, which can cope with the current situation. Zhang Fan is at least a young man in the new era five hundred years later, and he still understands a few books of health knowledge. He asked Wang Degui to find someone to dig up some clean snow, boil it into hot water in a cauldron, disinfect some of the medical treatment torn into bandages, and bandage the wounds of the wounded soldiers.

The attack of the Tartars did not stop, although both sides fought fiercely for a long time and were a little hungry, but the battle at the camp gate did not stop. The Ming soldiers had no choice but to replace the soldiers who were defending against the Tartar attacks at the gate with a group of soldiers who had eaten dry food. It wasn't that the wounded soldiers were carried into the tent, Zhang Fan and a few temporary military doctors were also busy.

Gradually, the Tartars saw that the Ming soldiers in the camp were hiding, and only their own people were still fighting at the camp gate, so they no longer used bows and arrows to shoot. The Ming soldiers who had been replaced immediately went to rest, and another group of men and horses went to the gate of the camp to resist. In this way, the battle lasted until the evening, and the Tartars withdrew their troops, but the Tartars also sent men and horses to the rear of the Ming army camp to station to prevent the Ming army from escaping.

There were many injured people, and Zhang Fan was busy until late at night, and then he rested. After eating some dry food casually, he was extremely tired, and he really didn't know anything, he spread out his pen and paper and recorded the situation of these battles.

Liu Jinquan came to Zhang Fan's place, and waited for Zhang Fan to do his job before he came in.

"Lord Bo must be very tired after a busy day, why don't you rest early?" Liu Jinquan asked.

"It's really tiring to go down, but I can't sleep!"

"The main Bo doesn't have to worry about the Tartars outside, they won't be able to attack for a while and a half, and the main Bo can rest in peace." Liu Jinquan thought that Zhang Fan was worried about the Tartars outside.

"Adults don't have to worry, it's not because of the tartars that you can't sleep. It's just ......" Zhang Fan paused and continued: "It's just that these things happened today, and I'm just uneasy." ”

"Hehe, I don't know if Lord Bo has ever thought about what would happen if the reinforcements didn't arrive in time!" Liu Jinquan asked.

"It's not that I'm afraid of death, not to mention that this mission has been completed, and I feel that I have no regrets about dying."

Liu Jinquan thought for a while and said: "In fact, there is not much grain and grass in the army, and the Tartars lost a lot when they were chasing, and now the rest is only enough until tomorrow." ”

"How are you going to deal with it?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Now that we are surrounded by the Tartars, we have no chance of winning if we fight the Tartars head-on." Liu Jinquan said, "I plan to gather all the war horses in the army, as well as the soldiers who are not seriously injured, and break out." There will be internet access as well, but it's better than sitting around and waiting for all of them to die. ”

"My lord......" Zhang Fan just wanted to say something, but Liu Jinquan interrupted him.

"When the time comes, I will lead those people with limited mobility to entangle the Tartars, and Lord Bo will also follow them to break through!" Liu Jinquan said.

"What do you mean, sir? Do you want to be the greedy man who is afraid of death? Zhang Fan immediately retorted.

"It's not a fear of life. Staying in the main book will only drag us down, and it will be in vain. ”

"But ...... my lord," Zhang Fan wanted to say something.

"I've made up my mind, and I'll have a good rest tonight." Liu Jinquan didn't give Zhang Fan a chance to speak, exited the tent where Zhang Fan was resting, and said to Wang Degui who was outside, "You give me a good guard for the main Bo, and send the main Bo to the war horse tomorrow to escort him to break through." ”

"No!" Wang Degui responded.
