Chapter 304: Before Dawn

The man on the ground must have been hit by a frightened and crazy animal, and his waist and lower limbs were twisted at strange angles, but he still crawled through the fire with difficulty, crying as he crawled, and repeatedly shouted the word "Eji" and "Eji" in his mouth.

Datong is located in a border town, and the people know a few words of Mongolian language, and if you listen carefully, you can know that the word this person shouted is "mother", and Fu Yu, who was chasing after him on horseback, suddenly hesitated.

Fu Yu hesitated, but the other family members who ran over were simply sharp, and when they came to the front of him, they raised the knife and directly cut half of their neck.

"You think he's pitiful, you think he has a father, you don't see him brutalizing the people, it's ridiculous!" Zhu Da said coldly on the horse, Fu Yu's face was flushed, and he didn't dare to speak.

Some of the Inner Mongolian soldiers in the camp surrendered in fear, and some were seriously injured and dying, but the soldiers only stabbed with knives and guns, and even had to make up knives on the corpses, and even the captured Han people were killed by mistake, killing and arson became more and more wanton, and their emotions were out of control.

On the contrary, the young poor people are still a little restrained, knowing that to rescue the poor Han people who were captured, they can also kill the red-eyed family members as cover and guidance.

All this is normal for Zhu Da, the family members are out of control because their relatives were killed and their homes were destroyed, and the Mongolian soldiers in front of them are the culprits, when you see this seriously injured and dying person shouting at his mother, he feels pitiful, have you thought of the pain of the family members when their father and mother died and the grief of their relatives.

The core of the entire Liangtai camp is the original Grange house area, in addition to the house can be inhabited, it is a temporary tent set up on the nearby drying field.

After the first wave of fierce attacks, the entire camp was on fire, all the tents and half of the people inside were destroyed by Zhu Da's team, half of them were destroyed by the mad bull and the horse, not all the soldiers died in the tents, but they didn't escape too far, Zhu Da and they had already moved their hands and feet, and naturally they couldn't catch up with sleepy eyes and didn't know what was going on, not to mention that Zhu Da and they already had more than 20 people on the horse, in addition, the spear throwing was faster!

After a few rounds of sweeping, there was no longer any threat in the camp, it was not even possible to hide in corners and in the dark, the raging fire lit everything, and grain hay was the best fuel.

"Don't set it on fire, clean up everything you can pack! Gather all the cows, horses, and carts that can be gathered! All shout! Judah reined in his mount and shouted to the people around him in a hoarse voice.

Everyone was out of breath, everyone was sweating profusely, everyone's eyes were red, everyone was splattered with blood on their blades and bodies, and their faces were flowery, with blood, sweat and fly ash mixed together.

Zhu Da shouted a second time, and only then did the people around him react, and then he shouted, everyone's voice was already dumb, and they had killed too many people tonight, and their voices were already dumb.

In fact, the whole camp had been quiet, except for the fires burning everywhere, and the frightened livestock had either died or fled away, and there was no one to kill, and after Zhu Da and the others shouted, everyone else could hear it clearly, and they all shouted along.

"Whether it is the people or the Tartars, those who are disobedient will be killed!" Juda shouted again, and the others shouted in unison.

There were nearly 400 Han captives in this camp, except for more than 100 beautiful young women, the rest were taken captive to be slaves and coolies, when Zhu Da and they shouted "the official army is coming" and rushed in, some people didn't know how to react, some were cooperating with the fight, picking up the tools they could use, and even with their bare hands, to fight with the Mongols around them, and some people took the initiative to show Zhu Da them the way, telling them where the soft was, and telling them where there were Mongolian soldiers and horses.

But there are also people who are at a loss, and even subconsciously avoid the military disaster, some people are in a state of confusion, some people are smart, but they suffer a big loss, some people are taken hostage, and then mercilessly killed by the family, some are trampled to death by the running livestock, and some are burned to death......

Nineteen of Zhu Da's family members died, no serious injuries, the others were minor injuries from scratches and burns, and the young poor man knew that he was following Zhu Da because he was relatively calm, but only one fell from his horse and broke his arm.

The biggest casualties were the neat houses in the grange, which were the residences of the generals and leaders, and Zhu Da directly crossed these houses in order to completely destroy the camp at first, but gave the generals inside time to react, these people were often well-equipped and much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Although for them, there will be a sudden mess on the fire kang in the house, but they can still be ready to get out of the house, of course, the leader of the cavalry still has combat power, and the one who is in charge of the grain and grass is the soft-footed shrimp that is not worth mentioning.

Maybe it was because they fought too smoothly after breaking into the Ming Dynasty, only two of the eight Mongolian military academies wanted to escape, and the others actually wanted to go in to save the situation, and the six people naturally couldn't fight against the two hundred people, but they were relatively familiar with the terrain, and they broke in from the rear of the team, on the one hand, they were surprised, and on the other hand, they gathered sporadic manpower to counterattack.

This caught the family by surprise and caused casualties, if it was really an ordinary people's strong camp, relying on a bloody brave fight to the present, the enemy did not resist It's okay, once there is a counterattack, it is easy for morale and a good situation to collapse, and it will be turned over directly, but the Mongolian soldiers met a trained family soldier.

After the initial panic, the leader of the family immediately gathered more than a dozen people to throw short spears, piercing a group of people who still had the intention of resisting, and the rest could only hide in a bunker somewhere they found, and then the bunker was ignited by torches, and then, some people were burned to death, and some people were shot by Zhou Qingyun and Wang Hu who rushed over.

"All the grain and grass must be set on fire, and nothing can be left for the tartars!"

In this case, cleaning the battlefield does not need to be very careful, anyway, the soft stored here are stacked in one place, and the undamaged weapons can be picked up at any time, and not only the family members and young people clean up, but also the rescued Han captives.

There were still a few carts left that had not been burned, and the tamed cattle and horses did not run too far from the fire, and the carts were put on their cattle, and the seized soft and weapons were placed on the carts, as well as the bodies of the wounded and their companions, and there seemed to be plenty of time for the night.

"Master, it's better to take the head of the Tartar!" When everyone was busy, Wang Hu walked up to Zhu Da and bowed down and said.

Anyone can see that Wang Hu is very excited, his breathing has not been stable until now, his quiver is empty, but Wang Hu has become very respectful in front of Zhu Da, and he is equal and indifferent when he goes out of the city, but at this time he is a subordinate with a respectful attitude.

This proposal made Zhu Da stunned at first, and then he understood, he nodded at Wang Hu, and shouted: "If you want to follow into the city, go and cut off a tartar head, and wait for you to have a stick of incense." ”

The Han men and women who had just finished packing up the spoils heard this shout, regardless of fatigue or injury, they immediately dispersed and cut off their heads, thinking that they would be inferior to pigs and dogs, and that they were going to die.

The head was easy to cut off, and the Mongols who were killed had swords on them, and most of them were not worth taking away, so they used this person's knife to cut off the person's head.

There are almost 1,000 or more Mongols in this grain camp, but there are hundreds of people who have been burned and can't cut off their heads, and many of them are burned to ashes in the fire, and there are more than 700 heads that can be taken.

It's still late at night, but the fire here is lighting up the surroundings, and everyone is still in shock and huge surprise, and for a while they are a little dazed, not knowing what to do next.

Zhu Da turned over and raised the Pu knife in his hand, which was also stained with blood, and the unpolluted part flickered in the light of the fire, and the crowd immediately fell silent.

"Back to the city!" Juda shouted, and the crowd was silent at first, and then erupted into a huge cheer, mixed with hysterical shouts and crying for the rest of his life.

After a short period of emotional catharsis, Zhu Da pointed to the crowd and scolded: "Are you all dizzy? What do you do with so many animals, and you can't enter the city! ”

The crowd was quiet for a while, and after coming back from cutting off the head, everyone not only took their heads, but also the cattle and horses that were not completely scattered on the periphery of the fire, and the big cattle were extremely important goods, seeing so many good cattle and horses in front of them, no one was willing to just leave it alone, and would rather walk a few more steps to bring it back.

Now not only the cheering crowd, but also the people are not just holding the head, but also the piles of cattle, perhaps the luck of the rest of the life, the family, the young and even the rescued people, are much more lively than the others, some people shouted: "It's a pity, I didn't expect to be able to summon such a large number of animals in the past, and it is good that they can be used under the city wall." ”

After this shout, a burst of laughter broke out in the crowd, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and cheerful, and Zhu Da didn't blame, just waved his hand there and shouted: "Hurry up, enter the city to be considered Ansheng." ”

After speaking, the crowd didn't move, Zhu Da didn't move, the scene cooled down for a while, and it was a little embarrassing, but Wang Jing reacted quickly, trotted to Zhu Da and whispered: "Wait for the master, you go first......"

Zhu Da suddenly, when he came, he led everyone in front, and on the return trip, of course, everyone thought it was the same, Zhu Da smiled on horseback, and said loudly: "Wang Hu leads the team, Qingyun walks in the middle, and I walk in the end." ”

Hearing this, the crowd was quiet again, and Wang Hu, who was near Zhu Da, solemnly clasped his fists in salute, and then strode in front of the team.

The rescued civilian men and women don't feel anything, but the family and the young people feel very different, when going out of the city, the front is the most dangerous and unpredictable, if the enemy comes, then the people behind still have the possibility of fleeing for their lives, and the people who walk in the front will definitely die, and on the way back to the city, the most dangerous position is to press the back of the palace, charge in front, retreat in the back, as the main general rush in front and guard the back, such a person is worthy of trust, worthy of loyalty, worthy of death.

"Go, go, don't delay!" Zhu Da urged a few words, and the family and the young messengers all obeyed the order solemnly, and quickly changed from the wanton killing red-eyed and the ecstasy after the victory to calm.

The rescued people saw that the team was in order all of a sudden, and they couldn't help but follow, and even the chaotic and chaotic order was much better.

Wang Hu walked in front and kept maintaining the team, but Zhou Qingyun, who was supposed to be in the middle of the team, ran to Zhu Da's side and said succinctly: "I'll be behind with you." ”

No one has any objections to this, Zhou Qingyun will only listen to Zhu Da alone, even if Zhu Da's words are just suggestions to him, not orders.

The flames could not be extinguished for a while, and the skylight made the night even darker, but Zhu Da kept looking at the eastern sky, and he must return to the city before the first light appears, otherwise there will be danger.

In the dark night, on the endless plain, the fire on this side will be seen by the Mongolian army under the west road and Datong city and even the south of the division, and they will rush to the rescue, it is very dangerous to rush to the ground in the dark, as long as you can see the road at dawn, I am afraid that you will immediately mobilize to rush over, and the speed of the cavalry is much faster than walking.

There is even the most dangerous possibility, if the Mongols are not afraid of the night road, and have already begun to mobilize to rush over, and this raging fire is the most conspicuous sign of the night, I am afraid that this team will soon be in a catastrophe.

It's just that when this happens, as long as you don't retreat to the city, it's a dead end, there is no way, and there is no luck, you can only ask for a few lives of the other party in the battle, don't die in vain.

In such a plain terrain, when encountering a large group of cavalry that had been on guard for a long time, except for the same number of cavalry, there was really no one who could match it.

"Don't leave anyone behind!"

"If you think the seizure is in the way, throw it away, whether it's soft or first!"

"Walk and trot, whoever falls behind will be whipped hard!"

"Hurry up, don't bother, go back to the city and rest!"

Zhu Da kept shouting and urging, the whole team was driven up, the family members and the young people began to run in small steps, and the rescued people did not dare to give up hope of life, no matter whether they were tired or hungry, they all ran with it, even if they fell and couldn't keep up, they would be supported by the people around them.

The surprise of being in a desperate place, surrounded by night, whether it is just over the battle or rescued, I only feel that I am on an isolated island, I want to help each other, I want to return home, looking at the Huairen City faintly in the distance, I don't feel how far away, of course, the real distance is indeed not far away.

I was very nervous when I came, but the return journey was relatively simple, because more than 30 people had already mounted their horses, and they walked around the team to take care of the shelter, so that the people who were trotting on foot were not so tense, and some people were already holding torches to illuminate and urge the horses to go to Huairen County to report the news.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had already turned over and dismounted, and they were at the intersection of the freight yard or the fire yard opposite the official road, which was the closest to the county seat, and it was also the only way to transport supplies in the city.

Although it was a cold winter night, the raging fire made people not feel the slightest chill, and even some roasted people, reflecting Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's faces were red, and even sweat on their foreheads.

, The two watched the team rush out, and they didn't want to talk for a while, although they had to worry about the danger of the enemy's rescue, but it was more likely that they would return to the city safely, and the break was not to guard against danger, in fact, it was a gesture.

can think about the fear of the past ten days, think about the heavy mountain that weighs on their hearts every day, and then think about the desperate and desperate retreat arrangement, and then look at the fire in front of them, look at the headless corpses all over the ground, and their own team that has already sounded a small tune in front of them, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both feel that their hearts and chests are full of emotions, and they just want to quietly enjoy this moment of excitement and fulfillment, and they don't know what to say.

"Can you think of winning before you even go out of town?" Zhou Qingyun still couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Da shook his head with a smile, and replied frankly: "I just wanted to die in battle when I went out of the city, where I could hope for a big victory, but before coming to this Tartar camp, I suddenly thought that this matter may not be so difficult!" ”

How dare you have a trace of luck before going out of the city, thinking about eggs hitting stones, thinking about being happy and heroic, who dares to underestimate the enemy and carelessness in such a situation, but really come to the front of the enemy camp, only to find the other party's laxity, in order to deduce the logic of the other party's laxity, if in the city, who dares to think so?

"Tomorrow the Tartar army comes, will they still attack the city?"

"If it weren't for the emergency, there shouldn't be a siege."

"You never say such a sure thing these days, how dare you now."

"If the Tartars don't have a small group of cavalry to watch the city during the day, it's hard to say whether they will fight or not, but now that they have rules and regulations, then they will follow the rules, they should speed up and go to the next grain platform, instead of wasting time on our side."

Zhu Da spoke with great momentum, but he still had concerns in his heart, the Mongol army did not have a grain station camp outside the city, and it was not completely impossible to attack the city, and if he made a desperate effort to attack the city and plunder the grain stored in the city, it would also make up for the losses outside the city.

But the granaries guarded outside the city were burned, and it was easier to burn inside the city, and after this attack on the camp, no one would doubt the determination of this small county town to "take all the stops".

Seeing that the last team of family members also walked on the official road, Zhu Da exhaled lightly and subconsciously looked at the eastern sky, but he couldn't see clearly under the dazzling firelight.

I don't know how something made a popping sound in the burning fire, almost at the same time, Zhou Qingyun turned around suddenly, and the whole person stepped to Zhu Da's side in one step, and before he could stand still in front of Zhu Da, he had already taken out the bow he was carrying, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow!

At the moment when Zhou Qingyun pounced in front of him, Zhu Da had already realized what was happening, his whole body squatted, rolled to the side, and then bowed and jumped up, and when he got up, he had already pulled out the short knife.

In the short moment when Zhu Da drew his sword and bowed and prepared to fight, he broke through the air and roared, and Zhou Qingyun, who was facing away from him, had already shot three arrows, and he still maintained the posture of opening the bow and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"It's okay, there is a Tartar hiding in the snow pit on the side of the road and pretending to be dead, and suddenly shooting an arrow ....." Zhou Qingyun said in a muffled voice, only then did he put away his posture, but this time he didn't take the bow back, but he still held it in his hand, and the feather arrow was on the string, so that he could react at any time.

Zhu Da has already picked up the Pu knife again, and the team of family members who just walked out also noticed the movement here, and was hurrying back, Zhou Qingyun sorted out his clothes and armor over there, turned around and nodded to Zhu Da, Zhu Da first told the team of family members who rushed back that it was fine, and then said in a muffled voice: "Hurry up, there is no sieve here is too clean." ”

Fight more with less, and it is a fast fight, naturally there is no way to clean up this camp, although all the ones who can be killed are killed, but no one can say whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net, and it is time to relax and talk and laugh when returning to the city.

......

Everyone was silent on the return journey, whether it was the rescued people, or the family members and the poor people, the people escaped death and the tribulations of these days were superimposed, the family members and the poor people were tense all night, and after the fighting, they were extremely tired, making people reluctant to speak.

The body is very tired, but the spirit is very relaxed, from time to time someone sings a small tune, and some people respond softly, walking and walking but seeing a fat man suddenly stopped, there is a captain of the family Ding shouted, this man did not move.

This kind of return trip can't be messy, immediately two family members came forward with their belongings to ask, even Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, who were riding horses and followed behind, noticed this, fortunately, the fat man seemed to be in a trance for a while, and immediately returned to the team, and was scolded by the family who led the team a few words, and something even more confusing happened, and the man couldn't help crying loudly after returning to the team.

Originally, he was moving forward in a very quiet and silent state, but suddenly there was such a movement, everyone was unclear, and the team was also a little unstable, Wang Hu asked over, the captain of the team over there was Chen Dashan, and he couldn't help but reprimand loudly, which made the team even more chaotic, and even delayed the progress.

"Bring people here, whoever wants to slow down and stop, whip them, beat them with sticks, cut them with knives, and hurry back to the city!" Judah shouted as he rode his horse.

As he shouted, the vitality of the team was restored again, and the two men in front of him escorted the crying fat man over.

Although it was the figure reflected by the torch in front of him, Zhu Da already knew who this fat man was, because the people who were taken captive did not have a fat body, and there were strong people in the family, but there were no lucky ones, and those who could not be very disciplined like this were Xu Erdan, who was not young.

When they were brought to Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's horses, the escort's actions were very unceremonious, and they directly pushed Xu Erdan and almost fell on the snow.

Despite such a mess, Zhu Da will not have any real punishment, and those who can follow the late-night attack on the camp will have a friendship, not to mention that this Xu Erdan is really bloody and killed without the slightest ambiguity, at least five of them are hacked to death, this is another meritorious service, call him to the end of the team, just let Xu Erdan not affect the progress of others.

"What are you crazy about?" Judah asked right away.

When Xu Erdan came here, his crying had stopped a lot, and when he heard Zhu Da ask, he finally reacted.

"Master, the little one was walking just now, and the father and sister who died in the villain were standing on the side of the road, all smiling and greeting the little one, the little one may be dazzled, and then you can't see it, the little family was killed by the Tartars, and after this trance, I really couldn't help it......"

Probably explained a few words, Xu Erdan couldn't help crying again, several people present, the family members who came from Zhu Da and Xu Erdan all had similar experiences, they really felt the same way, and they were silent for a while.

No one believes in any ghosts and ghosts, it's nothing more than the obsession that has been deposited for many years because of the courage and killing that has been released, and the heart has thoughts, so there is such an illusion.

"Will you be able to see your loved ones? I'm afraid I can't really see it until I'm dead. Zhou Qingyun broke the silence and said in a low voice.

Zhu Da glanced at Zhou Qingyun, and could see that the other party was still ordinary and expressionless by the firelight, but Xu Erdan's words made Zhu Da also think well, he subconsciously looked at both sides of the road, there was only the darkness of the night, and there were no parents and relatives.

"Go back to the city, hurry back to the city!" Zhu Da didn't want to wait too long on the official road.

The road was quiet, although everyone was tired, they could return to their hearts like arrows, help each other, urge each other, and there was no detour, but they came out much faster than when they came.

Everyone looked at the Huairen County in the distance when they were in a hurry, and the fire on the city wall was very conspicuous in the night, and everyone knew that it would be safe to enter the city.

As we get closer, we notice that the fire on the city wall is getting brighter and brighter, which is certainly not a mystical miracle, but to participate in the firewood to help burn, and when it is a few hundred steps away from the city wall, you can already hear the cheers and noises on the city head, and you can also use the firelight to set off, behind the battlements of the city wall are rows of human heads.

When the team reached the edge of the moat and was about to approach the city wall, Juda urged his mount to the side of the moat, and raised his hand and shouted, "We have come back from killing all the Tartars!" ”

He suppressed the noise and noise with this shouting, so that the city and the city were immediately quiet, and then the shouting broke out, everyone didn't know what to shout, but they just wanted to shout and make a fuss, some people shouted, some people cried, and the entire Huairen County was not quiet.

"Light the fire at the head of the city, put down the ropes that can be lowered, and move all those who have strength, don't delay your work, and celebrate when you enter the city!" Juda shouted loudly under the city.

No matter what happened in the past, what he said is now an iron order, and everyone will carry it out without hesitation, just hear Qin Juren at the head of the city hoarse voice arrangement, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen big ropes to hang down.

"The family and the messenger go first, the people go next, the captain of the family goes later, Qingyun and I are the last, those who don't follow the rules and rob indiscriminately, don't worry about killing!" Zhu Da's voice was full of anger, and after saying this, the scene that had just been a little unbearable quieted down again.

Originally, the six captains who led the team all consciously retreated and began to maintain the order of the team, Fu Yu and Meng Tian among the poor people did not look at each other this time, and they also came to the back of the team, and even the chaotic rescued people were quiet, they didn't have to worry about being abandoned outside the city, because the real leader was the last to come up.

The city wall is not high, and those who have the strength to climb along the rope, and those who have no strength to grab the rope or are tied up and pulled up, this side of Huairen County is in full swing.

Wang Hu originally wanted to stay at the end, but was urged by Zhu Da to go to the city, and it was not only the soldiers and civilians who wanted to enter the city, but also a large amount of seized property and severed heads.

When the servants and messengers went up to the city, they went to the city wall where no one climbed and hung down a large basket bound with ropes, and some people organized the people to throw the goods from the cart and the severed heads into the big basket, fill the basket and drag it up, and the cycle continued.

The battle started too fast, ended too fast, and there was the pressure of the pursuers at any time, no one had the opportunity to hide it privately, or it was too late to hide it privately, as long as the goods were on the bright side, then whether it was the family or the rescued people, whether it was outside the city or in the city, they all felt that this was the private property of Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun.

The money and the head were quickly shipped, the corpses of the sacrificed family members were also sent up, there were fewer and fewer people outside the city, the noise and cheers inside the city became louder and louder, and even the sound of firecrackers rang out, and Zhu Da yelled twice "Curfew at this moment", which was barely suppressed.

There are fewer and fewer people in the city, but there are also more than a dozen family members who have returned to the city to help maintain order.

"Master, there is a man we rescued who wants to ask to see."

"Let's talk about it in the city."

"This man said there was a way to keep these dozens of animals."

Having said this, Zhu Da immediately arranged to bring people over, the horses they ridden, the cattle and horses pulling the carts, this is actually a big injection of wealth, but if you want to get the cattle and horses to the city, it is a big project, at such a juncture, you can get the captured soft and weapons into the city, and it is already the best result to let everyone enter the city, there is no need to be greedy, but if someone can do it, Zhu Da does not refuse, although Datong is a border town, but the cattle and horses are as expensive, and there are many places where he can use animal power.

"Little Xu Erzhu." This man was led to him, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, a strong man who was shorter than Zhu Da, and he could see that he had suffered a lot in the Mongolian camp, and that there were new injuries on his face and body that had not healed, but he could see that the excitement in his expression was abnormal, and anyone who escaped was like this, not to mention that he had to win something else.

"Do you have a way to house these cows and horses?"

"The small one turned out to be in the border pass to let people put horses, this time was caught by the Tartars, I didn't expect to be rescued by the big man, these cattle and horses can't enter the city for a while, but it's a pity to lose them like this, the small ones have a way to keep these cattle and horses, and then send them into the city when the Tartars are gone."

"Aren't you afraid of death outside the city?"

"Master, the return journey of the Tartar army is just in a hurry, and it will not go through the sieve to wash the floor like when it came, find a place away from the main road, and wait for the Tartars to leave."

"Are you busy alone?"

"The villain still has a few folks, and they are willing to do this work together."

"It's done, what do you want?"

"The villain and the whole family of the villagers were killed by the Tartars, and there is nowhere to go in the future, so I just want to do this thing, so that I can herd cattle and horses for the master, and work hard for the master."

Rescue people back to the city, the people who were rescued along the way have to ask who saved them, these bloody and brave simple and young people are not the official army, the official army will not save people, the official army will not see the woman is not bad, nor will they see the wealth and goods are soft and not private, when they know that it is the "family" of this old man Zhu, many people who have been ruined have moved their minds, this Xu Erzhu is brave and tempted, and he can also pull a few companions.

Zhu Da was beside a family member holding a torch, and Xu Erzhu's appearance was clearly reflected by the firelight, and he looked like a sturdy man with quite vicissitudes.

"You're not Han, are you?" Zhu Da asked with a smile.

When he said this, Xu Erzhu, who was kneeling there, trembled his whole body, and the family member standing on the side had already aimed his weapon at him, and someone shouted to the other side, the sword was unsheathed, and he shouted continuously, and the family Ding over there had already taken Xu Erzhu's companion close.

Zhu Da didn't make much movement, Xu Erzhu's expression was hideous, but he was not ruthless, but anxious to the extreme, he knocked his head down, looked up and said: "Master, the little ones are not Han people, but they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tartars who killed them this time are not all the way, ...... old man."

"I promise you, if you can bring me the cattle and horses well, I will accept you as a family." Juda replied with a smile.

Xu Erzhu, who was kneeling on the ground, originally thought that the disaster of killing was coming, but he didn't expect this result, he looked up and was stunned, and the family members around him were also stunned.

"What do you want to think?"

“...... Want...... We want the lord to give us some dry food, a meal for a hundred people, enough strength for the livestock, and some forage for us, and it would be better if I could give us a few jugs of wine......

At the beginning, Xu Erzhu was still a little flustered, but at this time, everyone knew that he had to be decisive and react quickly, but he explained what he wanted quickly, cattle and horses eat forage, but eating grain is more powerful and can last longer, which is the common sense of serving cattle and horses.

After being drunk out of his identity, Xu Erzhu was already out of proportion, and at this moment it was no longer a question of what he wanted to do, but a question of whether he could survive, the corpses under the raging fire were all over the field, but I had seen it just now.

But he didn't expect Zhu Da to continue to ask, but said with a smile: "You take the cattle and horses with you, if you can bring the cattle back, it will be beneficial to you." ”

These words really made Xu Erzhu, who was kneeling over there, like an amnesty, couldn't help but kowtow continuously, but fortunately, there was no knot in the snow, and it didn't hurt, Zhu Da smiled and urged again, and then hurriedly shouted to go.

The border army in the border towns is not only Han Chinese, but also many Mongolians, these Mongolians are called Da officers and soldiers, and there are also military households and civilian households of Da officers and soldiers.

Since the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world to the present, every year there are many Mongolians on the grassland for various reasons attached to the Ming Dynasty, these people are organized as military households scattered to various places, not only border passes, Ming provinces, and even Qiongzhou Mansion (Hainan Island) have exists.

It is interesting to say, the officers and soldiers are often more loyal and more daring than the Han soldiers and horses, and these officers and soldiers are often one of the main forces in the hands of military generals at all levels.

In normal times, no one cares much about this, but in wartime, it is different, no one knows whether this is a spy or even a defeated soldier seeking survival, plus a deep blood feud and for foolproof vigilance, if there is no guarantee and trust from the villagers and neighbors, the first reaction to kill and avoid future troubles.

"In fact, it's just to look at their thick waist and legs to cheat, if they insist that they are Han, I can't help it, if they really live in Datong for decades, their hair and teeth are the same, who can tell the difference." Zhu Da said a few words to Zhou Qingyun, in the past, Zhou Qingyun would ask curiously, but now he didn't say anything, Zhu Da took the initiative to explain, "Some people say that cheekbones and face shape and eyes can be seen, but here they intermarry with each other and are passed down from generation to generation, and it is not clear how many Han ancestors are Tartars." ”

After this matter, Zhu Da was a little relaxed, and he talked more, Xu Erzhu over there did not delay, and had already begun to take away the cattle and horses, and some family members went to the city to shout, so that the people in the city would drop the materials they needed.

It didn't take long for Xu Erzhu to come over with a smile to take Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's mounts, Zhu Da gave the reins to the other party, Xu Erzhu nodded and took it, and went to get Zhou Qingyun's side.

"Leave this horse to me." Zhou Qingyun said in a low voice, Xu Erzhu didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly agreed with a smile, although it was still dark, everyone felt that time was pressing, and they couldn't take care of this horse.

Zhu Da shook his head, smiled and said, "We have to go into the city too, this horse can't get in, let's go!" ”

For Zhu Da, what a horse is worth, if Zhou Qingyun likes it, he will keep it, or he will not let the Xu Erzhu who came out of nowhere take it away, and it doesn't matter if he drives it away.

"I'm not going into the city." Zhou Qingyun said this sentence slowly. (https:)
