Animals are much more sensitive to their senses than humans, and when it is still night in the mountain valleys, they have realized that it is almost dawn and begin to agitate.

Zhu Da relied on this judgment to set off, and when he got up, Zhou Qingyun also silently began to clean up, and even Qin Qin, who had always been sleepy, said timidly: "You have to be careful." Indeed, who in such a situation can sleep peacefully until dawn.

After a night's recovery and rest, not only did Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun feel a lot better, but the two horses also recovered a lot, and the wounds on their abdomen had been treated and bandaged.

Telling Qin Qin to pay attention to safety, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun took the horse and set off, rode to the bottom of the hillside where they climbed and looked out yesterday, found a hidden position to tie the horse, and the two walked up.

It is still dark in the mountains, and there are bright colors outside the mountains, at the junction of such plains and mountains, there will be such a scene of the coexistence of the sun and the moon at some point, and in the more than 20 years of life, Zhu Da is very obsessed with this, as one of the pleasures of wild travel, and these years will also be recalled, at this moment, there is no mood at all.

From afar, you can see the smoke rising from both villages, and those Mongolian horse teams also know that they are in the hinterland of the enemy country, and do not dare to indulge too much, and at this time they have begun to prepare, and what can be noticed is that the horses are carrying burdens, and it is obvious that they have gained a lot.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were a little nervous when they saw all this, they were not lucky in their hearts, the relatives in the village hid in the cellar tunnel, and the Mongols would not delay too much time here, so it was possible to escape and survive.

"Don't set fire to these tartars!" Zhou Qingyun said to himself, he clenched his fists nervously, and he could see the green tendons on the back of his hands bulging.

Yuan Biao, Xiang Bo and the old people in the village all said that the Mongols were used to killing people and setting fires after they went south to loot, and this practice was not just to vent, but to weaken the war potential of the Daming border town.

No matter how impatient and impatient you are, you have to wait, after yesterday's rage, Zhou Qingyun also understands the trade-off, it is easy to make a choice between dying together and taking revenge alive.

The horse teams of the two villages began to gather in the new village by the river, and Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both stretched out their hands and used the method taught by Yuan Biao to estimate the number of people, which was a small means for the army to observe the enemy's situation at night.

The number of "1,500 to 1,700 riding ......" made the two of them silent again, and even their impatience disappeared a lot, the absolute disparity in strength gap, and the huge pressure can make people dispel many unrealistic ideas.

While Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun waited, the Mongolian horse team that had been prepared finally set off, and the more than 1,000 horsemen did not cross the river, but went southwest along the river.

"Are they going to Zheng Jiaji?" Going south along the river, the most valuable target is the area near Zhengjiaji, which is the richest area in Huairen County and Datong Zuowei in addition to the county seat, and there is no protection at all, such a soil fence is barely enough to resist bandits, and soldiers and horses of this scale are probably the same as paper paste.

"Someone led the way for the Tartars."

"You don't need to lead the way, how many people come to do business every year, and the road here can't hide from people."

After Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had a conversation, they both walked down the mountain, they knew that Zheng Jiaji was going to suffer, but according to the direction of the Mongolian horse team, they had no chance to report the news, not to mention that the Mongolian horse team in order to prevent the news from leaking, there were many reconnaissance teams scattered out before and after, only in the early morning and dusk, they chose this route is also the most appropriate, the road on the east side of the Xiami River is the best to take, if you cross the river, the straight line is close, but in fact, you have to go around a few circles, so that there is the possibility of rushing to the front, now like this, To report the news, one is to send him to death, and the other is too late.

At present, Qin Qin is very safe in the salt cave hut, Qin Xiucai went to Taiyuan Township to try, Yuan Biao has passed away, and other people in Zhengjiaji do not have such a deep friendship worth saving, this matter is a very cold reality, it will make people very uncomfortable, but I have to admit it.

It takes time to walk down the mountain, and during this time, the Mongolian horse team should have walked some distance, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were very anxious, and their movements were very fast, and they both wanted to go to the village as soon as possible to see if there was a miracle.

It was only at the place where the horse was tied that the reins were untied, and suddenly the mountains and forests became restless again, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock and despair on each other's faces, could it be that the Mongolian horse team is back again? Is this a fluke and hope to kill everything?

Without waiting for Zhou Qingyun to speak, Zhu Da said in a muffled voice: "Don't be in a hurry to move, just in case." ”

Zhou Qingyun nodded with a complicated expression, the two of them did not ride horses, they walked out of the mountain on foot, they did not go out of the mountain pass, they just stopped nearby, Zhou Qingyun lay down first to listen, and Zhu Da did the same thing.

"Not so much this time, and not in one direction."

"Even if there aren't so many, it's not something the two of us can deal with, go back and observe again, and now, we can't be in a hurry!"

When Zhu Da said, "Don't be in a hurry", his tone was a lot heavier, because he saw that Zhou Qingyun had some unbearable emotions, but fortunately, this time Zhou Qingyun was not impulsive, but just followed him back to the hillside with a gloomy face.

When the Mongolian cavalry went south on the grassland, the limit of the cavalry of the Mongolian brigade was thirty or forty miles a day, because it was necessary to maintain the state of people and mounts, and there was not so much grain to consume, but after breaking into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it could break through to a hundred miles a day.

Such a rapid march is a disaster for the next people, but it is convenient for the current Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, but they still dare not go down the mountain into the village, because from the direction of the Mongolian horse team yesterday, another horse team is rapidly approaching, also towards Baibao Village and Hebian New Village, although the scale is not so large, but the same smoke and dust are rolling, the momentum is amazing, between the smoke and dust, you can vaguely see the flag shaking.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both saw the real despair on each other's faces, what kind of large-scale entry is this, more than a thousand horsemen have passed, this is another time, do you want to sweep away the settlements around Datong? How many people have come from Mongolia, and is Datong still there?

If this is the situation, then don't talk about revenge, the only thing to think about now is survival, at least now you can only nest in the mountains, Zhu Da patted his forehead in distress, if he had studied more seriously, he should have remembered this history, but nothing, if he had focused on this in his life for more than 20 years, at least he could avoid the disaster in front of him, but how could he think of it now.

"It's the official army! It's the official army! Zhou Qingyun on the side suddenly shouted, his tone full of ecstasy.

Officers and soldiers? Zhu Da came back to his senses and looked at the new horse team that was advancing, unlike the Mongolian horse team in front of him holding a small pennant and wearing a leather robe, the new soldiers and horses looked much neater from a distance, and there were a few flags waving, which looked quite majestic and majestic, and there were mutual victories and defeats between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, but the cavalry army Rong Daming was indeed stronger than Mongolia, and everyone in the Mongolian tribe could ride horses, all of them were cavalry, so naturally there was no neat equipment, and it looked messy and sloppy from a distance, and the Ming cavalry were the hearts and minds of the main generals. The guards are mainly cavalry, so they naturally give priority to supply and equipment, and of course they look neat and mighty, and they are elite and extraordinary.

Zhu Da used to listen to Yuan Biao and Xiang Bo describe the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers, they were quite contemptible, based on Zhu Da's observation on weekdays, it is indeed not strong there, bullying the people, and the ability to be rampant and domineering, but if you really want to fire and fight, even if it is a battle in the sense of the rivers and lakes, the quality is much worse, and in those more than 20 years of life, Zhu Da's memory of the Ming dynasty is that he rarely wins battles, and the officials and troops are weak.

The breakthrough of the Mongolian horse team this time, in a sense, proves this point, the border army on the side wall should be much stronger than the one in Huairen County, even they did not block it, and even the beacon fire was not ignited, what can such an officer and army expect, but what I didn't expect is that the official army came so quickly, and actually dared to chase more people with fewer people, Zhu Da even worried about this official army horse team, if the Mongolian horse team that left turned around and killed back, with less and more fighting, the official army would definitely be in trouble.

"The officials and soldiers are here to kill thieves and save people, are they here to kill thieves and save people, or are the officials and soldiers reliable, or the officials and soldiers are reliable!" Zhou Qingyun danced excitedly, almost shouting and talking there.

In this era, the Mongols on the steppe are enemies, and the Ming officials and soldiers are still their own people who do not perform well in peacetime, and now there are already some meanings of national wars, in the face of the great right and wrong, or this Ming own soldiers and horses are reliable, Zhu Da is much calmer than Zhou Qingyun, but the mood is getting more and more excited.

"Come down, get down, let's get to the village and have a look." Zhou Qingyun urged loudly.

Zhu Da hurriedly agreed, and the two walked down the mountain road together, watching the movements of the officers and soldiers as they walked, the officers and soldiers did not pursue the Mongolian horse team, but stopped at Baibao Village and Hebian New Village, maybe to see the deaths and injuries of the people in the village, to see if they could be treated, and to pursue the superior enemy is to send them to death, and it is not bad to be able to save people and evacuate.

When walking down the mountain, the two of them looked at each other while walking, although they were still not optimistic, but after all, there was a good turnaround, and there were some illusory possibilities.

"Look, someone from the village is coming out." Zhou Qingyun, who had good eyes, suddenly shouted, and Zhu Da also stopped and looked over.

The weather is sunny and condescending, and although the details cannot be seen clearly from a distance of a few miles, you can see a rough idea, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were excited and ecstatic at the same time, and sure enough, someone survived, this will not be the official army, the official army is on horseback.

If you survived, why run? After the two were excited, they immediately had such a question, they saw that an official cavalry urged the horse to catch up with the man who ran out, and slashed and killed him......
