In a tent near the village gate, Zhao Chengdong was changing into iron armor with the help of his guards. In this season, in this area, no one will be able to wear iron armor in their daily actions, otherwise they will be self-harming.

Therefore, Zhao Chengdong's team only wore cotton armor when they traveled, but only carried 4 or 5 iron armors with them in case of emergency. At this critical juncture, Zhao Chengdong naturally took out the iron armor and put it on.

After putting on the iron armor that was baked and warmed by the fire pond, not only did Zhao Chengdong not feel cold, but felt the warmth of being surrounded by the fire pit. When Zhao Chengdong put on cotton armor outside the iron armor, the subordinates who arranged the ambush for the Jurchens also happened to enter the tent and report to him the specific arrangements for the ambush.

"My lord, our people and the young people in the village have already made arrangements. But now it's snowing outside and the arquebuses we brought with us can't fire outside.

Therefore, the subordinates arranged the hunters in the village to attack in the first wave, and after Jiannu's team entered the village, they let the hunters shoot at Jiannu.

After confusing Jiannu's team with bows and arrows, the ambush force with our soldiers as the main force rushed forward to kill and cut it off and strangled. After the enemy ranks were completely dispersed, the warriors of the village stepped forward to assist in the attack on these Jiannu. ”

Zhao Chengdong nodded, tied the last belt and said, "Just arrange the ambush according to this, in addition, send a few people to watch over the elders in the village, and don't let them contact other villagers until the battle is over..."

Escorted by more than a dozen of his subordinates, Tuburi followed Jiruo and Yigab into the village, and the sky became darker and darker.

Since the dogs pulling the plough smelled many strangers and were barking outside the village, Jachel and his people had to stay outside the village to appease the animal companions, so the Jurchen team naturally split into two parts.

The guide Yajie and the local servants all stayed outside the village to pack up the plows, while Tuburi and his Jurchen subordinates couldn't wait to walk into the village, hoping to find a tent to bake a fire and warm their frozen bodies.

Because of the wooden wall, the wind and snow in the village are much smaller than outside, and there will be no snowflakes that blow on the eyelashes and then obscure the view. But the wooden walls that are more than one person high, the many tents and the towering cedars around the village also make the light in the village darker than in the wilderness.

After entering the gate of the village, Igab stopped Tubury and said, "My lord, the elders' tents are not too big to accommodate all the horses that the adults have brought.

You see if you can arrange for some people to disperse to other tents to rest, and the adults themselves bring some people to see the elders. ”

Tubury glanced at the tents of various sizes in the village, but he didn't doubt Igab's words, and he was about to say that he could just let the guards accompany him to the elders.

However, when the words came to his lips, Tubury remembered Jachel's warning, and he subconsciously looked into the depths of the village, but the tents and piles of snowdrifts completely blocked his view, so that he could not see the whole village at all.

So when the words came to his lips, Tubury had a heartfelt eye, and he ordered one of his subordinates to guard the entrance of the village, and arrange a resting place for his soldiers with Jiruo. And he himself took nearly 20 subordinates and followed Yigab to meet the elders of the village.

Along the way, Tubury didn't find anything out of the ordinary, so his heart was put down. When Igab lifted the curtain to invite Tubury in, looking at the bright fire in the tent, Tubury was smiling and bending down to enter, but was grabbed by his own guard.

Tubury subconsciously looked back, only to see that his guards were nervously hinting at him. He followed the guard's gaze and saw that the tent where the elder lived was littered with footprints, which were clearly not the shoes worn by the locals, and most of the footprints were fresh.

"There are outsiders in the village." The thought crossed Tubury's mind. Igab seemed to notice Tubury's abnormality, and he stretched out his hand to pull Tubury, and said nervously: "Don't stand here and get cold, my lord, come in and warm up, the elder is waiting to see you." ”

The guards around Tubury reacted quickly and pulled him away, and then stepped forward to block in front of Tubery, and while reaching out to Igab's shoulder, he reprimanded loudly: "Bold bandits, dare to be rude to adults, don't let me get away... Defend your lordship, it's the enemy..."

The guard did not push Igab away, but was carried by Igab and rolled into the tent. Looking at the changes happening in front of them, and hearing the shouts of their companions, these veterans of the war did not know where they had encountered an ambush.

They quickly formed a circle, surrounded Tubury in the middle, and then retreated towards the entrance of the village, trying to join their companions at the entrance.

However, just as they formed a circle, there was already a chaotic shouting at the entrance of the village, and it was obvious that the companions at the entrance of the village had also been attacked.

Only then did Tubury react, and he stood in the middle of the circle and shouted in horror and fear outside: "Are you not dying? Dare to besiege the army of the Kingdom of Houjin after me. I urge you to lay down your arms and bow down to me and admit your mistakes, and I will intercede with the commander of the army behind you for you.

Otherwise, even if the people in your village flee to the ends of the earth, they will be captured and beheaded one by one by the army sent by the Great Khan. I don't know who you have been bewitched by, but as long as you hand over the people who bewitched you, I can spare you from being held accountable. ”

Tubury's shouts were not answered, and he was answered by the shots of archers emerging from behind snowdrifts and tents. These hunters were less than 20 paces away from the Jurchen soldiers, and the archery skills they had trained in the deep mountains and wild forests had already been fully displayed at this moment.

These hunters knew that the cotton armor worn by the Jurchens could withstand the fire of bows and arrows, so they aimed at the exposed body parts of the Jurchens. The first round of shooting took the lives of four or five Jurchen soldiers.

The battle ended more quickly than Zhao Chengdong expected, and the Ming soldiers and hunters in the village faced the Houjin soldiers who were stiff and slow after a long journey, and when Zhao Chengdong led his guards to rush out of the tent and engage in hand-to-hand combat with these Jurchen soldiers, the Jurchens quickly collapsed.

Except for the more than a dozen Jurchen soldiers at the entrance of the village, who saw that the situation was not good, desperately fought out of the village and fled into the blizzard, the others quickly dropped their weapons and surrendered.

When the local minions, led by Jachel, saw the Jurchens fleeing, they withdrew from the battlefield and waited for the war to end and surrender to the victors.

These locals know very well that in such a snowstorm, it is completely impossible to escape, and the best outcome for these Jurchens who escaped from the village is to be quickly frozen to death in the wild.

Zhao Chengdong picked up the head of Tuburi that his subordinates Xing Chongchong brought to him and looked at it, stared at Tuberi's frightened eyes for a long time, and then said dissatisfiedly: "This is the head of the leader of Jiannu who led the team this time?" He doesn't look like a good man. ”

He casually threw his head on the ground and said to his subordinates who came to receive the reward: "I have written down your merits, I am no longer judging merit by head, you don't have to show me such a disgusting thing next time, the military judge will naturally register your merits."

Now you are all back to the team, Lao Tzu has not given the order to end the battle, you are running to clean up the battlefield one by one, do you want to be beaten? Get back to me, and take care of the captives.

Huang Er Mazi, you take people to interrogate the prisoners one by one, and those who are willing to surrender to me will stay, and those who are unwilling will be cut directly. When the snow stops, we'll be on our way, and we don't need to carry so much baggage..."

In Zhao Chengdong's scolding, many soldiers who cut off their heads and ran to ask for rewards had to drop their heads in their hands and run back to their teams. A small colonel who was not far away to supervise the battle agreed to Zhao Chengdong and took a few of his subordinates to screen the prisoners.

Elder Ambleon, who was finally released by the Ming people, looked down at the blood-stained snow on the ground of the village, and walked quickly towards Zhao Chengdong, with a smile on his face.

Five days later, Meler Ezhen Anguli arrived at the village with a large army of nearly 700 men. On both sides of the road in the village, the Jurchen soldiers of the sentry spotted the traces of the Niulu in Tubury.

Soon, Anguli, who got the news, rushed over. In a snowdrift more than one person high on the right side of the road, he saw that after brushing away the snow on the surface, in the raised cone-shaped ice tower below, the Jurchen-faced leaders couldn't help but want to vomit.

Anguli forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his stomach, and after a long time, he asked his subordinates on the side with a blue face: "Is Tubury's head also in it?" Is this Niu Lu under his command completely destroyed? Any news from the local guides they were with? ”

Niu Lu, who found this Jingguan, replied with a gloomy face: "I've already seen it, and Tubury's head is also inside, but not all of his Niu Lu people are here, at least there are 27 people who don't know where to go."

As for the head of the local guide who led the tour in Tubury, I have not found any of them. The people of this village have been gone, at least for more than two days, they have taken all their supplies with them, and they have burned down the tents in the village, and it seems that they are determined not to return. ”

"That is, could it be that the villagers of this village attacked them? Why? Tubury had a man from Niu Lu, how could he be attacked by them so quietly? Anguli said with some confusion.

The Ezhen beside him replied without thinking: "Maybe the villagers colluded with those local guides to plot against them in Tubri, otherwise they wouldn't have been killed so easily in Tuberi..."
