Chapter 306: Noon

At this time, only by constantly wiping can we ensure that the vision is not blurred, Zhou Qingyun put down his arms, drove the horses forward, and rushed towards the nearly 1,000 horses in front.

After the Mongolian cavalry column passed through the official road and reached the spacious terrain near the city, the team had already been deployed, and Zhou Qingyun rushed towards it alone and alone.

He didn't open his bow, but just held his spear flat, like a cavalry charge that Yuan Biao had once taught, and rushed forward with all his might.

A man is fearless in the face of a great wave, and when the big wave hits, he catches it, and then disappears.

In fact, Zhou Qingyun did not rush into the enemy formation, he was shot by the opponent with a bow and arrow at a distance of more than a dozen steps, so he fell off his horse, and then was trampled and drowned by the cavalry.

Zhou Qingyun's one-horse charge did not cause any obstacles to the advance of the Mongolian horse team, and he didn't expect to do anything, Zhou Qingyun just gave himself the last dignity, maybe the horse team rushing to the city was surprised why there was a horse rushing towards him, maybe he didn't care at all.

When Zhou Qingyun rode over, the entire city was silent, and many people were originally behind the city wall, but at this moment they all stood up and looked around, looking at Zhou Qingyun in the distance, watching him disappear into the enemy formation.

The size of the approaching horse team is nearly a thousand, and the movement is also like a tide, and the sound of hooves is like thunder, but after experiencing the big scene of attacking the camp at night, the soldiers at the head of the city do not have much fear of this horse team, especially condescending, under the cover of the city wall, everyone just stood there, looking at the approaching cavalry coldly.

The vanguard of the horse team approached beyond the range of the bow and arrow at the head of the city, and the cavalry also looked up and looked at the guards at the head of the city after stopping their horses.

From the breakthrough of the pass to the return journey, there was no way to stop their soldiers and horses, as long as they were willing to work hard, there was no way to block their city, from the nobles who led the team to the herdsmen below, they all thought that the big battles with the Ming Dynasty more than ten or twenty years ago were fake, how could such a cowardly and incompetent army and people have a victory.

It is said that there are elite soldiers on the west road of Datong, and it is said that there is the main force of the border army in Datong City, but they have not been seen to fight so far, I thought that this time I could go in and out quickly, return to the grassland safely, and wait for the next time when the time is right, indulge in looting, and even go deeper into the south of Daming.

No one thought that something would go wrong in this small Huairen county, no one cared about this small county town, and even the small leader who commanded the ten horsemen knew that this county town was not worth attacking, and no one even cared about the life and death of the people in this city.

It's like a tiger crossing the border, a hundred beasts worshipping each other, bears, leopards, jackals and the like don't dare to move, but a rabbit sprang out and bites, although it is not fatal, and it will not even bleed much, but it still hurts, and it is necessary to consider whether this wound will be bitten by a poisonous snake that is being tested by prying eyes, or it will be regarded as a flaw by other fierce beasts.

The Mongolian horse team under the city should be the main elite, otherwise it will not be sent out to rescue before dawn, many cavalry in the front line have armor, in addition to bows and arrows, there are also swords, shields and spears equipment, close to the city wall did not ride on the horse to look, but dismounted in line, someone in front, someone led the horse, very orderly.

The general at the head of the army was still on his horse, looking forward, and it was not long before he dismounted and retreated, for the simple reason that he noticed that someone was staring at him behind the battlement.

The actions of this general made the people in the city quite regretful, Wang Hu, Wang Xiong, the Dong family brothers and a few good archers in the caravan guards were all staring at him, and if they got closer, they would open their bows.

Although not everyone participated in the attack on the camp last night, this victory emboldened many people, and in the past, only two or three people dared to do so.

This kind of stalemate between the city and the city did not last long, and some people in the city horse team screamed, and the nearly 1,000 cavalry left dozens of horses unmoving, and the others began to gallop around the city.

Zhu Da didn't move, and the others didn't move, Huairen County didn't deliberately concentrate on this side, and he could concentrate his forces on a certain side at any time, so the Mongols would not be in a hurry no matter what direction they attacked, Zhu Da knew all this, so he didn't make any arrangements, he just looked at the snow in the distance, and Zhu Da couldn't see the specifics clearly, he only knew that Zhou Qingyun's body was over there.

After circling the city, the horse team still stopped on the side when it arrived, and could not find a chance to attack the city, nor did it have the effect of intimidation, so it could only wait.

After this circle, the horse team from the north also arrived, and the convergence of the two armies suddenly became a lot louder, and the people in Huairen County, who were still confident just now, became nervous again, but there were not many movements of the thousand and hundreds of cavalry under the city.

Before last night's attack on the camp, Huairen County was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Mongols, maybe there were thousands of horsemen who dared to open a posture to attack the city, but last night the Liangtai camp was burned, and thousands of people in the camp were killed and wounded, and the Mongolian army did not dare to despise it, they were still sure to eat this small city easily, but they must consider that they would lose their teeth and bleed all over their mouths, and they might have to delay a lot of work.

In a field battle, these thousands and hundreds of horsemen could sweep away several times more than ten times the foot soldiers, but in front of Huairen County, which had already proved itself, they hesitated.

As a dozen days ago, there was a low thunder roaring in the sky, and the livestock in the city began to be restless, and after noon, the main force of the Mongol army appeared outside the city of Huairen County.

Many people in the city thought that they were no longer afraid, but after the appearance of soldiers and horses of this scale, everyone still hid behind the city wall and did not dare to show their heads, as if they were safe if they were not seen by people outside the city, and if they could not see the army outside the city, nothing existed.

Zhu Da was still observing at the battlement, and it was the most critical time, whether the Mongol army would speed up according to logic, or whether it would retaliate emotionally and attack the city, if the city was attacked, then everything would be over, and everything that was done would be meaningless.

In fact, if the Mongol army attacks Huairen County, it can't be said to be impulsive, it still won't cost too much to fight, and after the battle, it can plunder the grain and grass in the city to replenish the population, the only thing to consider is that it may delay time, there may be fierce resistance in the city, last night's attack on the camp has proved this possible risk, and the calm and meticulous commander will definitely take it into account, and will not ignore it because of "possibility".

The sound of hooves was deafening, the people and horses were noisy, the guns and flags were like a forest, the army was like a wave, Zhu Da even thought that the city walls under his feet were trembling, and the grief in his heart was also squeezed by tension and worry, Zhu Da knew that the attack on the camp was gambling, and gambling would win or lose, whether the other party would be calm and meticulous, he had no way.

The army showed no signs of stopping, it was still surging forward, Zhu Da looked at it without blinking, it would take several hours for this army to cross the border, who knows if it will suddenly divide its troops to attack.

Half an hour later, a few horses from the army rushed out, but they ran to the cavalry brigade that had not moved under the city, and not long after these horsemen arrived, the horses that had begun to rest under the city began to mount one after another, and the brigade began to converge towards the main force.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Da's legs instantly weakened, safe, safe, without the grain and grass materials hoarded here, the Mongolian army must rush to the next grain station, otherwise there will be a shortage of food at a certain time on a certain section of the road, which will delay more time and increase the risk, the most rational choice is to speed up the road, rush to the next grain station camp and then make plans.

Raid on the Ming Dynasty, although it came quickly and went fast, but there were enough captures and harvests, when the top and bottom were like arrows, whether it was necessary to retaliate against this small city that had nothing to do with the overall situation, to consider the lack of grain and grass gap brought by the camp of this grain station, to consider the time required to attack the city, to consider the Ming soldiers and horses, to consider the morale of their own families, to consider whether they can return to the grassland safely, and to consider all kinds of measurable and unpredictable risks.

The Mongolian cavalry under the city evacuated quickly, and it was estimated that at this moment, no one wanted to make extraneous branches, and they all wanted to return home with the spoils of war, so why bother tossing in front of this small city with no oil and water and thorns.

Zhu Da inhaled and exhaled, and there was about to be a result, and the other people who were originally quiet and silent at the head of the city also began to stir, and it was really ...... But then it was quiet again, for more than 100 riders were running towards us.

There were already cheers at the head of Huairen City, and some people were already crying with joy, but after seeing this scene, they immediately quieted down.

Although there are only more than 100 horses, it looks different from any Mongolian soldiers and horses, these more than 100 horses are all armored, you can see the metal armor leaves emitting light, and then there are too many flags and honor guards, you can see the wooden pole holding like a big umbrella, as well as the pennant, and there are also big flags with tiger and leopard skins, the momentum is amazing.

The flag guard of honor is the core of the army, and the origin of this team is self-explanatory, and the more than 100 horsemen are surrounded by one person, who is particularly conspicuous in the condescending view of the city, and the person is actually wearing a golden helmet.

"This person should be the deputy of the Khan King, called Jinong on the Tartar side, just like our Ming princes with military power, the real power is probably even more than that, but this banner looks like it is not the past, there should be great changes in the grassland over the years, but our side is the same as a blind man." Wang Hu said as he stood behind Zhu Da.

At this time, Wang Hu was already doing things conscientiously, and he was not a proprietor and a guest to Zhu Da, but clearly regarded himself as a subordinate.

The team of more than 100 horsemen was out of range of bows and arrows, Zhu Da noticed that the formation was not a battle formation, it seemed to be in line with some kind of display, so that the flag and honor guard were displayed in front of the people, and the core figure wearing a golden helmet also came to the front, and the two cavalrymen around him should be personal guards, holding large shields, ready to cover and protect at any time to avoid any accidents.

Although there were more than 100 people, the pressure on the city head exceeded the cavalry that was approaching, and even the family members did not dare to show their heads at the battlements, only Zhu Da and Wang Hu behind him stood in the gap that could be seen.

Zhu Da's attention was never focused on the golden helmet general under the city, he was looking at the mottled fields that had been trampled in the distance, and Zhu Da knew that there must be a piece of Zhou Qingyun's corpse over there.

The two sides "looked at each other" and "confronted" for a moment, the golden helmet general turned his head and said a few words, and one of the horsemen in the team stepped forward a few steps, still carefully hiding out of range, clasping his hands and shouting at his lips: "Listen to the people at the head of the city, you dare to block the army of the Khan, you have committed a capital crime, but my nobles are merciful, appreciate your martial bravery, and are willing to accept you for deployment, if you are willing to surrender, you can command a thousand horses, you can give a thousand taels of gold, a thousand heads of livestock, and a beautiful woman to choose from, if you don't know what to do, you will be lucky this year, Wait for the next year, the whole city will not be left! ”

This official dialect has a little Shaanxi accent, which is very standard, if you command a thousand horses, it means that there are at least nearly 10,000 herdsmen under your hands, not to mention a thousand taels of gold, strictly speaking, it is also a guerrilla position in the Ming Dynasty, and the private property of livestock and women is just an addition, and it cannot be said that there is no temptation.

But the situation has come to this, I am afraid that no one dares to accept such a temptation, but everyone does not dare to ignore this threat, this year is so easy, it is certainly not difficult to come next year, and this year has gone smoothly, next year I am afraid that the time will not be so tight, I am afraid that winter is coming, and then Huairen County can still exploit this loophole, the probability is very slim.

Zhu Da was still distracted, and the city was silent for a while but he was impatient, and the golden helmet general muttered a few more words, and shouted to the cavalry again: "If you don't know the stakes, then wait for the whole city to be destroyed, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

"If you ignore it, take a few steps back, otherwise he will easily get into a hole and release a cold arrow if he rushes forward lightly." Wang Hu whispered that the range of the bow and arrow is not too accurate, and it is difficult to keep a marksman or a good bow and arrow to reach it, and it is not too unpopular example.

Being reminded like this, Zhu Da relieved himself, but he didn't retreat, nor did he open his mouth to respond, but just picked up his bow and arrows and opened them all over the city.

The distance between the city and the city is not far, and they can see each other clearly, Zhu Da's action The city immediately reacted, and some people had a huge shield in front of the golden helmet, but the others did not retreat or protect the action, which could be seen as elite.

Judah didn't aim at the people, but shot the arrow ten paces in front of the cavalry, and one arrow was driven into the snow.

Although it missed, the attitude expressed by this arrow was very resolute and clear.

"When the army comes again, there will be no more Huairen, and all of you will die, or you will look forward to death!" The cavalry under the city shouted back.

After shouting these words, more than 100 horsemen began to turn and leave with the golden helmet general in their arms.

The Mongolian army in the distance is not fast, such a mighty and mighty makes people feel endless, after the more than 100 horses under the city, although there is still a noisy crowd outside the city, but the city has been completely relaxed, the cheers of the suppression are sounding again, and even the news has reached the city, vaguely you can also hear the shouts and laughter under the city, the pressure is too great to vent, for the vast majority of people in the city, they don't know that the Mongolian army was going to attack the city, they just feel that the Tartars are finally gone, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and finally be able to live a normal life.

Zhu Da still stood there, waiting for the more than 100 horsemen to turn and run more than 100 steps, he suddenly reacted, and took a step forward, behind him Wang Hu was so frightened that he almost hugged him, Zhu Da held the edge of the battlement and shouted into the distance: "..... I'm going to kill you all......"

“...... I'm going to kill you all......"

“...... I'm going to kill you all......"

Since the appearance of the Mongol army, Zhu Da has been extremely calm in front of people, this is the first time that he has lost control so much, so hysterical, he is only repeating this sentence, and his voice is hoarse, I don't know if he is shouting at the enemy below, or shouting further away.

The more than 100 riders who went away only a few people at the end turned back, anyway, across the city wall, and they were in a hurry to go back, you can shout if you want to, no one will pay attention, and even some people laughed on the horse, laughing at the arrogance of this small city, laughing at the young man's self-indulgence, and so on next year and the year after this city will be destroyed, everyone will be killed or life is worse than death, the grassland has been a wolf again in the past ten years, and these people in Datong are pigs and sheep.

"Proprietor, slowly, it hurts like this!" Wang Hu finally couldn't help it, raised his voice and drank, Zhu Da's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound, and finally stopped after being reminded like this, but he was already full of tears.

Looking at the mighty army, Zhu Da never turned his head, his breathing changed from heavy to even, and he turned his head to look at Wang Hu, the antifreeze oil on his face was washed away by tears, there was ice and cracking, but his expression was dazed, from defending the city to sneaking out of the city, he had never seen Zhu Da look like this

Wang Hu was just about to ask, but Zhu Da's body seemed to have lost his balance, and he couldn't stand steadily.

"Proprietor, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, I'm tired, I want to go to sleep, no one can go down to the city, wait for my order to let go." Zhu Da immediately stood firm, waved his hand and said a few words.

Few people in the city now care about Zhu Da, and Zhu Da doesn't care about this, he has calmed down, and even has been calm.

"The proprietor, after great joy and sorrow, it is better to hold on, otherwise there will be evil energy in dreams that will damage the spirit." Wang Hu persuaded again, people will be very weak in the case of large mood fluctuations, and if they are frightened in their dreams at this time, it is easy to hurt their spirits.

Zhu Da shook his head and said in a voice that was so hoarse that he could barely hear clearly, "I can't dream anymore." ”(https:)
