Chapter 363: Forest Fires

Every manor has guards, and the same is true of Huifeng Manor under Jiang Feng, after all, although there is a regimental training, but Tie Dan must maintain a standing armed force, and the so-called guards are actually family soldiers, of course, the best choice.

Although the reclamation manor outside the gate is not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, those manor owners still have awe of the imperial court in their hearts, so try to avoid these names that do not respect the authority of the imperial court too much, such as "Ministry", speaking of which the guard is a very modern name or Jiang Feng's own creativity.

The battle below was so fierce, and the battle of those guards riding out on horseback also played a great role, and the killing effect was better than Jiang Feng's soldiers and those regimental training, after all, it was easier to stab in the back.

However, the guards of Huifeng Manor did not participate in the battle below, but lurked in the mountains near the wooden gate, and Jiang Feng and Tie Dan gave them the task of not ambushing the enemy in the bushes but other tasks.

Kuang Sihai is the deputy leader of the guards of Huifeng Manor, to tell the truth, those outlaw men are not very convinced of him, because Kuang Sihai can do this position, it is entirely because he and Tie Dan deceived people in the human market back then, Tie Dan is still a relatively nostalgic person, and he has included these old brothers in the military and political system of Huazhou, fortunately, the Jiang family army and Huazhou Taishou Mansion are in need of manpower.

It's always been the more, the better, and no one says it's not, but Kuang Sihai is also competitive, and he works hard to stay up and exercise martial arts on weekdays, although he is not the strongest among the guards, but he can be regarded as a master, but he is a petty official by virtue of his relationship.

Everyone didn't look at his efforts, they were all cynical, Kuang Sihai was also holding his stomach, this time when he followed Tie Dan to the valley of the Taer River to intercept the Mongols here, he was also full of desire to show it.

However, these people have no chance to fight at all, they have always been arranged to stay on the mountain, and when Kuang Sihai went down the mountain to replenish supplies, he also saw the extremely tragic battle scene under the mountain, and since then he has never said that he has ever said that he wants to go down the mountain to fight.

Although it was less than twenty hours on the mountain, it was only two hours of silence, and the rest of the time there was the sound of guns and swords clashing, and shouts of killing and screaming. Training and fighting on the battlefield every day is not a thing at all, and Kuang Sihai doesn't have the ambition he had at the beginning.

He now baked the baked cake in his hand on the torch and put it in his mouth, Jiang Feng's arrangement for them was that no matter who it was, they must have a torch in their hands and keep it burning at all times, and if it is at night, they must build a shack to ensure that the torch is not discovered.

Although this arrangement is troublesome, it is much better than the fight under the mountain, and these mountain guards feel quite lucky.

When Kuang Sihai was nibbling on the baked cakes, suddenly there was a noise in front of him, and he heard the sound of trembling, this change made Kuang Sihai over there feel a wit, looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that in the woods, there were a large number of figures shaking.

came, Kuang Sihai swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and scooped up the torch inserted in the pit, although there were already fallen leaves in the woods, but they did not completely fall off, and the field of vision was not so broad, but Kuang Sihai's sound was still noticed by the person opposite.

The sound of swishing dense arrows breaking through the air sounded, many of them were nailed to the tree poles, and when it continued, Kuang Sihai only ran a few steps forward with a torch, and felt a stinging pain in his back, and then saw the arrow coming out of his chest, although it was not injured, but such an injury was only a little longer to live.

After death, his family can have food and clothing for the rest of his life, of course, if he works hard under Jiang Feng's subordinates, he can do this, and Kuang Sihai's hard training all day long is for this.

The internal bleeding made him constantly lose all the strength in his body, and the torch in his hand was also a little unbearable, Kuang Sihai gritted his teeth, laughed miserably, put the torch in his hand on his clothes, and the fire suddenly became bigger, and in a short moment, his back was nailed with several arrows.

"Damn, I'm worth it!!"

Kuang Sihai roared and pounced on the nearest haystack, this is what these guards of Huifeng Manor did on the mountain, Kuang Sihai, who was covered in fire, fell on the haystack, these dry firewood and grass quickly burned, and soon the nearby trees were also on fire.

The guards on the mountain were not all so unlucky, and the soldiers of the Jiang family army behind the wooden fence were all taking advantage of the quiet rest on the battlefield, and suddenly saw a little fire coming out of the mountains on both sides, and they all stood up in surprise, ready to fight.

However, the place where the fire caught fire was not on both sides of the camp, but in a very far front, Jiang Feng's officers at all levels had already obtained a plan in advance, and hurriedly asked Minzhuang and the guards to take weapons and start to go up the mountain to guard, the trees on the mountains on both sides of this side had already made all kinds of things suitable for materials into wooden fences and pontoon bridges when the camp was just established, and on the night of the first day, it was cleaned up with slave raids, and now it is very easy to go up and down the mountain, because it has long become bare.

Min Zhuang took torches and firewood or other things, and walked in front one after another, standing at the junction of the clearing and the woods.

The fires were burning everywhere, and the autumn weather was dry, and the fire soon spread, and the guards had been active in the mountains outside the pass for several years, and the terrain of the forest was much more powerful than the Mongols who had been on the steppe.

Therefore, even though they were able to use the terrain to escape after setting fire, the Tile Thorn soldiers, who wanted to kill under the cover of the mountains and forests, managed to clear all kinds of bows and traps in the woods, and only after walking a few steps, they found that their front and back were beginning to catch fire.

Mongolians who have always been active in the steppes and deserts, after entering the woods, the uneasiness and panic in their hearts are no less than a person who does not know how to swim and suddenly cross the river, not to mention that the surroundings suddenly start to catch fire, and both soldiers and officers are desperately running down the mountain. However, in order to hide more conveniently, so they still go deeper, and anyone who has ever walked in the primeval forest knows that in the primeval forest, it is impossible to maintain your sense of direction, and most of the people's judgments will be wrong.

So when the fire was blazing, the guards who set the fire could set the fire and run out calmly, but these soldiers of the tile spurs may not have such a calm mind, at first they panicked, and then they became frenzied, and they ran around.

They often ran to the center of the fire circle, and the camp on Jiang Feng's side was still making various movements in an orderly manner, but the camp on the Mongolian side was already in chaos, and the smoke on the mountain was already somewhat obscuring the sky of the valley, and the sky was a little dark.

In the sound of the fire, and the frantic shouts of those who were caught in the fire, the miserable screams of death, the whole valley seemed to be a hellish scene, and the iron egg on the mountain carefully counted the guards who ran out, and there was a short incense plant on the ground beside him.

The short incense burned very quickly under the current environment, and soon it was completely turned into ashes, and Tie Dan knew that there were probably more than a dozen people who did not run out, but Jiang Feng's had already given a death order, and he couldn't care about these people. Tie Dan sighed, lit a bundle of hay in front of him, and threw it into the woods in front of him, his action was a command.

All the people on the mountain followed the action of the iron egg and threw the fire in their hands into the forest in front of them, the effect of this concentrated fire was extremely strong, and you could almost see the flames rise suddenly, and the trees and grass on the side of the wooden fence had been cleared cleanly, which was regarded as a firebreak.

The fire swept almost one-sidedly in the direction of the Watts, like the waves of the sea when the wind was blowing on the seashore.

The wooden fence that the Jiang family army was tied up had already been removed, and the people who set fire to the mountain had all walked down the mountain and were given weapons, Jiang Feng was riding on a horse, holding a big knife in his hand, staring at the tile spur camp in front of him with an expressionless face, and the screams of their companions on the mountain obviously broke their morale.

"The whole army moves forward, drive the Tartars out of the pass, the land here is what we have worked hard to fight, and we can't let others sit back and enjoy it!"

Every officer was there desperately encouraging his soldiers, Jiang Feng raised the big knife in his hand, and the audience suddenly fell silent, and the iron egg beside Jiang Feng shouted loudly:

"In today's battle, those who kill the heads of the Tartars will be granted 100 acres of land, and they will not pay taxes for 50 years, and those who kill slaves and thieves will get rid of their lowly status and be the people's ......"

Before the words were finished, a huge cheer erupted in the field, including the blank-looking slaves, everyone shouted in unison:

"Fight, fight, behead, behead!"

Jiang Feng shouted:

"This battle is a matter of life and death, everyone moves forward and retreats."

After speaking, he turned his horse and took the lead in rushing forward, and the soldiers behind him all shouted loudly, and followed Jiang Feng towards the tile spur camp like a torrent.
