A few hours is not a short time, and for Zhang Fan, the excitement of waiting for the war makes him feel that these hours have passed extremely slowly. And when he saw the sleeping soldiers, he felt that the time had passed too quickly, for fear that the soldiers would not get enough rest.

Anyway, time passed gradually, and although it was still dark, Zhang Fan knew that the time was coming. The soldiers woke up one by one, and there was no emotion of life and death in the camp that they were going to the battlefield to fight, nor did they think about the excitement of going into battle to make contributions, everything seemed so calm.

Zhang Fan didn't close his eyes all night, although after these few days, his heart has long been without the excitement he had at the beginning, but now he is still full of energy, or he has no reason to sleep at all. Zhang Fan's heart was like the atmosphere here, calm and abnormal. Looking at the soldiers in front of him preparing their equipment, pacifying the horses, and checking the knives and guns, Zhang Fan suddenly had a kind of enlightenment. No one longs for death, no one longs for leaving their loved ones behind on the battlefield, and no one really sees death as home. Behind these people is not the national righteousness, not the emperor's detachment, not loyalty to the country, but ...... It's just very selfish, just hoping that his life will be better, and longing for his family to be safe. They can't reason with the Tartars, so they have to use their swords to make the Tartars understand the truth.

"Are you ready, sir?" Wang Degui said on the side, he was ready to go.

"Hmm...... All right. Zhang Fan didn't say much, just responded to his words.

"These fifty people will always be by your side, please rest assured." Wang Degui said firmly.

Zhang Fan didn't answer, just nodded.

At this time, the army was ready, and the sky was still dark, but Zhang Fan could feel the difference in the darkness. Liu Jinquan came to the front of the five thousand men, looked at the soldiers in front of him, there was no expression on his face, and for a while, he just said: "Brothers, come back alive!" Let's go! ”

Zhou Biao, Liu Yong, and Zhao Rui each led the team to their scheduled location. Wang Xing's 1,000 men and horses went to the road where the army was preparing to retreat and laid an ambush. Zhang Fan insisted on following Liu Jinquan, and Liu Jinquan had no choice but to agree to him, but Zhang Fan could only be on a hillside far away from the Tartar camp, and it was convenient to leave in case there were Tartars going.

In this way, a big battle in the ice and snow is about to begin.

In the Tartar tent, the general who led the troops this time, Bars, also did not rest all night. Altan ruled the Tatars, as a subordinate of the Tatars, his position in the Tatars has risen greatly, in the past few decades, the orthodoxy of the Great Yuan has been driven to a remote corner of the east, and he seems to be not with the wrong person, and the status of his family has become more and more noble in the Tatars in the past few decades. What a joy it is that those who did not look at themselves now grovel to themselves! Now I answer the surprise attack of the Ming Dynasty, I am the main general, I have to say that this is another credit of my own, thinking that I am over the age of six, my children except for the eldest are not competitive things, maybe I can still accumulate some strength for the family in the last time of my life.

The southern invasion was so smooth at the beginning that the Southern Dynasties were defenseless at all, and the nearest place was only a hundred miles away from the Ming Dynasty. However, the land of the Ming Dynasty is so tightly defended, and now the strongest Qi family army in the Ming Dynasty has gone to Datong. Bars heard that his subordinates in Datong were having a very hard time, and that the Southern Dynasties had taken advantage of the time and place there, and the opponents were strong, and they had asked for support many times. However, the situation in Shaanxi is much better, because Bars has an inside line, and it is also the credit of this inside line to be able to get the news of the change of guard in Shaanxi, but now there is no use value. Bars planned to withdraw his troops in two days, and of course, he would also transfer troops in a more relaxed situation to rescue Datong's subordinates.

The Tartars lived in this environment all year round and were well prepared for the effects of the weather, and the tent in the Bars was wide and thick, and even if the wind was strong outside, it could not blow in a single chill. A campfire burns in the tent, making it incredibly warm and cozy. Despite this, Bars was thinking about various matters and had no intention of resting. It wasn't until midnight that he felt sleepy, and was about to rest, when the sound of a war horse neighed and broke the silent air.

Liu Jinquan looked at the Tartar camp in front of him, now is the most difficult time for people, according to the scout's report, the Tartar patrol has also gone to rest. There was no one in the camp, and the soldiers on guard, although they had just changed their guards, looked drowsy. Liu Jinquan knew that now was a good opportunity for a surprise attack, and when the herald reported that the other three groups of men and horses were ready, Liu Jinquan knew that it was time to attack.

He didn't say much word, but drew his saber and pointed at the typing battalion, and the three hundred cavalry and seven hundred foot soldiers behind him rushed towards the Tartar battalion. The guards only felt that the earth shook, and the two people who opened their hazy and sleepy eyes looked over here, only to see a large area of menacing Ming troops rushing over, and before they could react, they had already been shot by arrows ** their chests. Liu Jin took the lead in the whole body, and at the front of the army, he broke through the gate of the Tartar camp and rushed straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Zhang Fan watched the situation below from a hillside to the west of the Tartar army, just staring at everything that was happening below with his eyes, and there was no fluctuation in his heart. Zhang Fan held a bow and crossbow that Wang Degui gave him, Wang Degui was afraid that he would have any accidents, and he would not be able to use the sword, so he had to give Zhang Fan a bow and crossbow to protect himself.

In the Tartar camp, many people were asleep, and suddenly heard the neighing of war horses outside, and they got up and picked up weapons to prepare for battle, but Liu Jinquan was too fast, and Liu Jinquan's war horse was only a few dozen steps away from the big tent of Bars. The garrison of 8,000 Tartars also reacted, and they all rode their war horses to meet the enemy, and Bars's personal guards also took out their swords to block in front of Liu Jinquan. At this moment, Zhou Biao and others, who had been ambushed in advance by the three sides of the Tartar camp, also rushed over, and the Tartar army had to send people to block it, but they hurriedly met the enemy, and many people were not awake and were caught off guard by the Ming army that broke in.

The three people in charge of disturbing the Tartars did not want to fight with the Tartar army, but just blocked them from going to block Liu Jinquan's way. Liu Jinquan had already rushed to the front of the big tent, waved the sword in his hand and slashed down several of Bars's personal guards, and the remaining personal guards had been cleaned up by the people behind him. Liu Jinquan and a few cavalrymen had already jumped into the big tent.

In the big tent, Bars held a war knife in his hand, and looked angrily at the people who rushed in, although he was a little flustered, and he didn't even wear armor on his body, but he didn't look panicked. Unable to ride a horse in the big tent, Liu Jinquan and the others had to dismount and walk towards Bars with the weapons in their hands.

"You Southern Dynasty people are really despicable, you don't dare to fight our army head-on, you will only attack behind the back." Bars retorted.

"Sure enough, he is an outsider, he doesn't know how to use soldiers, it's useless to talk too much, so let's die!" Liu Jinquan didn't say much, and rushed forward with his sword.

Liu Jinquan stabbed at Bars's chest with a sword, but was blocked by Bars's sword. Although Bars was already a sixty-year-old man, a fierce Tartar and the experience of a hundred battles since childhood easily defused Liu Jinquan's attack. Liu Jinquan's subordinates didn't care about anything else, and rushed forward one after another with knives.

The battle outside the tent continued, and the Tartars gradually came to their senses, and under the leadership of some leading officers, they stopped and counterattacked. The strength of the Ming army gradually disappeared, but they were already prepared and began to deflate their fires. Although it was a cold winter, the weather was unusually dry, and the forage tents in the Tartar camp were simply on fire, and after a while, everyone had spread to the entire camp.

In the main tent, the battle between Liu Jinquan and others and Bars continued, and Bars was able to resist the opponent's attack, but after all, he was old and gradually lost his support. At this time, the main tent was also on fire. Liu Jinquan knew that this meant that the battle outside had also begun to change, and it was necessary to fight quickly. Unbeknownst to him, Bars saw Liu Jinquan's thinking gap, avoided the attack of the three people on the side, and slashed at Liu Jinquan together.

"Your Excellency!" When a soldier saw Bars's attack, he saw that the blade was about to see Liu Jinquan's neck, and he ran to Liu Jinquan with his life, blocking him.

Bals's sword was on the soldier's neck, and with such great force that the soldier's body was in a different place in an instant, and blood gushed out. Liu Jinquan's face was covered with blood, but at this time, he didn't have time to care, seeing his subordinates being killed, anger instantly filled him. He screamed, and stabbed a sword at the somewhat distracted Bars, and the two soldiers on the side also slashed their swords down. In an instant, Bars's left and right hands were cut off, and his chest was pierced by a sharp sword. Bars didn't show a frightened expression, his eyes began to lose concentration when he looked at Liu Jinquan, and he was most bleeding, muttering something, and after a while, he fell to the ground and died.

Liu Jinquan looked at the fallen Bars, pulled out his sword expressionlessly, cut off Bars's head and hung it on the horse. They did not touch the man who had fallen, but the three of them mounted their horses and rushed out of the tent.

The battle outside the tent has become white-hot, the attack of the Tartars has become crazy, and the Ming soldiers are already at a disadvantage. When Zhou Biao and the three of them saw Liu Jinquan coming out, they came over on horseback, and when they saw Liu Jinquan's head hanging on his horse, they knew that the purpose of the operation had been achieved. Liu Jinquan immediately ordered the army to break through.

Zhang Fan and others on the hillside saw that the army had begun to break through, and knew that Liu Jinquan and they had already succeeded, and began to retreat under the escort of Wang Degui.

The Tartar army was still in the fight between the Ming soldiers, and the Ming army struggled to break through the siege, losing a lot of men and horses, so that the Tartar camp was highlighted, and the pre-designed retreat route was to retreat.

By this time, the sky had begun to light up slightly.
