Chapter 34: Rebirth after the Tribulation

In order to make the Tartars more convinced, and not to kill the horse pistol, the "main force of the Ming cavalry" who rushed to the north also followed the light cavalry to the north to chase the remnants of the Tartars out for more than ten miles, and shot more than a dozen Tartars who ran at the back before turning around and returning with the captured war horses and booty.

Looking at the returning team, Ran Wu said sincerely: "My lord, your suspicious plan is really powerful, and the Tartars have really been fooled." “

Hao Jian smiled without saying a word, showing a reserved smile, but in Ran Wu's eyes, the lord looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom and winning steadily, and he admired it even more in his heart.

Don't you know that Hao Jian is all pretending, and he doesn't know if he can succeed before he succeeds. Fortunately, it succeeded, so that he could pretend to be forced calmly.

In fact, his strategy is very simple to say, it is nothing more than borrowing the method of Zhang Fei bluffing at Changbanpo in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to scare off the Cao army, let the ten archers tie the large bundle of tree branches cut down behind the horse's tail, and then use the huge dust raised by the branches behind the horse to create the momentum of the army's attack.

Of course, in order to keep the Tartars from seeing through the reality, he made the starting point of the archers far away, and it happened to be in the southwest position, which was also the direction of Datong City.

The distance was long, so the Tartars couldn't see exactly how many people there were after discovering this team, and could only judge by the size of the dust raised.

In addition, the direction of the attack is the direction of Datong City, so it is logical for Tartar to think that this is a reinforcement from Datong City.

Coupled with Hao Jian's shouting at the beginning, "Three thousand iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty", these factors are linked, although it does not make Tartar really feel that there are three thousand cavalry, but only Tartar sees the threat from Hao Jian's strong combat effectiveness, and then links this combat power to the coming "main force of the Ming army", then it will naturally make the decision to escape.

However, of course, this also requires the element of luck, if you meet a dead-brained Tartar leader who is not afraid of death, he has to call these "Ming Iron Horsemen" the ability, it will really be suspenseful.

Fortunately, although there were some twists and turns, in the end, the result came according to Hao Jian's assumption, and that was enough.

Of course, fighting a war requires not only strength, but also luck.

In his original world history, the Great Yuan Empire was invincible and conquered almost half the world, and later set his sights on Japan across the sea.

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched across the sea, but unfortunately God favored the Orientals at that time, and huge waves arose on the sea, overturning many Dayuan ships, so that Dayuan's plan to conquer Japan was stranded, and later finally abandoned, which avoided the bad luck of the Japanese archipelago being trampled by the Mongol iron cavalry.

To get back to the point, after all the soldiers returned to their lives, Ran Wu took them to clean up the battlefield, collect the ownerless war horses and weapons and other things in the Tartars, and collect the corpses of the fallen soldiers.

And Hao Jian stepped on the war horse and casually led an ownerless war horse to Guan Hu, who was seriously injured at the edge of the woods.

"Brother, do you know how to ride a horse?" Hao Jian jumped off his horse and came to Guan Hu, looking at this sturdy and honest young hunter.

When I was waiting for the attack in the woods before, I saw Guan Hu's sharp archery skills and coquettish positioning, so I had a good impression of him.

"Are you officers and soldiers?" Guan Hu didn't answer, but stared at Hao Jian and asked with some hesitation.

Hao Jian saw distrust and vigilance in his eyes, and he understood his thoughts for a moment.

The people on the border are indeed very bitter, and they are deeply affected by the Tartars and bandits, but the border soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are weak in battle, and they have been defeated repeatedly, so they can only hide in the city and dare not come out, how can they take care of the safety of these small people?

"Don't you think I'm like it?" Hao Jian looked at him with a slight smile.

Maybe it was the sincerity in Hao Jian's smile that moved him, so Guan Hu hesitated for a moment and said boldly: "No, I don't think you are officers and soldiers at all." ”

Hao Jian smiled with interest: "Why do you say that? ”

"Officers and soldiers? If they had this bloody nature and dared to fight with the Tartars, then the people on our border would not be so miserable, and my mother would not have been killed by the Tartars! My best brother Erzhu will not be cut off and hung on the door of his house by the Tartar of the dog day, and my wife and children will not be taken away by the Tartar! Soldiers? Phew! It's a bunch of eggless bastards! ”

Guan Hu's tone became excited as he spoke, his eyes were a little red, and even Hao Jian saw tears welling up in his eyes.

He could understand the feelings of this young man, his closest relatives and best friends were separated from him in an instant, but he could not do anything about it, and this miserable situation was uncomfortable for anyone.

Hao Jian looked at Guan Hu silently, waiting for him to finish venting.

Although Guan Hu is a hunter, he is not completely brainless. Saying these words, on the one hand, it is indeed out of anger, and on the other hand, it also has the meaning of testing Hao Jian's identity.

Seeing that Hao Jian didn't speak, he also fell silent.

"Brother, you're right, we are indeed not officers and soldiers. Moreover, yesterday we had a battle with officers and soldiers, and we killed dozens of officers and soldiers. Hao Jian said.

Hao Jian's words made Guan Hu stunned, claiming to be an officer and soldier but really not an officer and soldier, and saying that he had just fought with an officer and soldier, so who are you?

Guan Hu was a little stunned and couldn't understand Hao Jian's words.

Hao Jian smiled, put the helmet and long sword on the saddle, slowly walked to Guan Hu and squatted down and said, "Brother, it doesn't matter who we are, as long as you know that we are all Han Chinese, it is enough for us to kill the Tartars and save the people." In the future, if you have fate, you will know who I am. Now, I'm taking you to meet your relatives, I think you've chased so far, there must still be your relatives and friends in that team. ”

When it came to relatives and friends, Guan Hu's emotions became a little excited, and he looked at Hao Jian and finally nodded.

Hao Jian helped him up, helped him onto the ownerless war horse, and then stepped on the war horse himself, and the two slowly walked towards the people's ranks.

The war horse moved forward slowly, getting closer and closer to the ranks of the people, and Guan Hu's body trembled more and more.

He can't wait to see his wife and children now, and what he fears most is that he will be disappointed again.

Fortunately, before his mount could reach the group, two figures, one large and one small, burst out of the crowd and rushed towards him crying.

"Brother Huzi!"

"Daddy!"

The moment Guan Hu saw his wife and children, tears poured out at once, regardless of his injuries, he rolled off the horse at once, seemed to forget the pain, and staggered to his wife and children.

The family of three hugged tightly together and cried loudly, for the sake of rebirth after the catastrophe and for the sake of the relatives who died.

Hao Jian jumped off the horse, looked at this scene and felt a little sad, quietly turned his head, and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
