Su He saw that the old man in the distance had already led the team to appear, and he hurriedly took out an Aiye arrow from his quiver and shot it at the enemy's war horse that was fighting with him.

However, his attack was not successful, and the enemy's reaction was swift. As soon as they saw the appearance of a new Ming army, they quickly turned around and fled from here.

Su He and several sentry riders under him were naturally unwilling to let go of each other.

They hurried their horses, bent their bows and arrows, and continued to pursue the fleeing enemy. Even if the enemy kept fighting back with mangu from time to time, Su He and they were still undaunted. While they were holding on to each other's feathered arrows, they continued to shoot with their own bows and arrows.

The old man's men and horses in the distance have not yet arrived, and there is a tendency to continue to change directions and pursue. Su He was not surprised when he saw it, but instead beckoned the sentry riders around him to change the direction of the march slightly.

Because Su He knew that another leader, Master Fan, should soon appear in front of the enemy.

The development of things was as Su He expected, and Master Fan suddenly rushed out from behind a sand dune with his men and horses. They had a tacit understanding with the other Ming troops around them, and they surrounded the fleeing Mongol cavalry like a big net.

Among the six Mongolian cavalrymen, the one who rushed to the front seemed to want to use his bravery to break through the blockage of Old Man Fan's men and horses in one go. He drew his saber and rushed towards Master Fan with a loud shout.

But after a horse's neighing, this person was thrown to the ground by his war horse, and Master Fan's archery skills were still so superb.

The next five fleeing enemies were also stopped by Master Fan's men and horses, and they were knocked down by the Ming soldiers one by one. Except for two acquaintances, they saw that something was wrong and chose to surrender early in the morning. The others were all wounded and captured, and one person wanted to continue to resist after being hit by the arrow, and finally his head was cut off by Master Xiucai.

"Su He did a good job, thanks to your quick reaction and dragged them down, Lao Fan and I were able to lead the troops to arrive in time."

Master Xiucai raised his new waist knife with one hand, and then shook it hard, and an arc of blood was added to the white sand.

"Thank you for your praise, this is what I should do."

Su He knew that now that Master Xiucai had recovered from his injuries, the master was fighting for the eldest master (Zhang Mengjin) and other leaders, wanting to take back all the guards around him. Su He didn't know the specific results of Wu Dayong and Ma Jinzhong, but Master Fan seemed to have relented.

Su He also wanted to return to the master, not that he was dissatisfied with the old man. It's that old friends like Xigui and them are there, and Su He naturally prefers places with more friends.

Moreover, Master Xiucai also understands Mongolian and knows a lot about some habits of Mongolians, so Master Xiucai is also more kind to Su He.

This time, Su He took several of his sentries out of the wall, which somewhat meant that the Han people returned to their hometowns. The group of Mongols who chose to submit to the lord and them before actually included people from the same tribe he knew.

The other party informed Su He that the lord who wanted him had died on the battlefield in the battle to conquer the set of departments a few years ago. And the family of the herdsman who hired him that Su Hehe killed by mistake has long been missing because of the chaotic situation, and their pastures and herds have also been divided by others.

The result of this confusion is not an exception. Many of the other herdsmen from the Su contract tribe are not very good. In the chaos beyond the border walls in the past few years, many people have even starved to death from famine caused by various causes.

So in comparison, Su He, who now has land and property in Han Land, as well as a family and a little power, is much better than his original fellow villagers. This strong difference, which can be seen at a glance, makes Su He, a Mongolian descendant who has been living in Han for many years, feel secretly refreshed.

(Mongolian) "What tribe are you from, and where is your pastoral land?" ”

It's the Mongolian dialect of Master Xiucai's accent a little weird, but Su He feels that it is more authentic than before, at least closer to the accent of the suite. Now he is interrogating one of the previously captured captives, and the other captives are being kept separately to prevent them from colluding with each other in private.

The interrogated captives were somewhat uncooperative, and did not reply to the master's questioning. For such a blind guy, Su He could only pout his lips disdainfully.

The old man's reaction was really crisp, and he pulled out the sharp knife at his waist. He then grabbed the captive's hand and stabbed the tip of the knife into the soft spot between the captive's fingers and fingernails. After the master's wrist turned, the captive had to scream no matter how hard he pretended.

Then the old man did not continue to question, but only changed one of the prisoner's fingers and prepared to torture again. The captives were held firmly by the other soldiers, unable to put up any resistance at all, and the screams soon rang out again.

(Mongolian) "I say, I say, I say everything. I am an alban of the Marquis of Battle, and there are more than 170 men in our village, and there are only 60 men who can bend bows to fight, and there are also some strong slaves who can fight. ”

When the old man did not say a word and carried out the punishment for the third time, the captives finally began to beg for mercy loudly.

The disdain on Su He's face became even stronger, if this thing was really a tough guy. He should not have chosen to surrender before, but continued to fight until he was hacked to death by the sabers of the border army. For the sake of hypocrisy for such a short time, it is really stupid to let two of his fingers be blurred by the flesh and blood picked by Master Xiucai with a knife.

(Mongolian) "His name is actually Batel (Mongolian for hero), so how is he fighting, is he very powerful?" ”

Master Xiucai finally stopped the torture, but his decapitator was still pressed against the captive's finger, and he continued to question the captive coldly.

(Mongolian) "Batel had defected to the Great Khan (Lin Dan Khan) in a previous battle, and he was actually a former commoner (arad), as if he had been wanted by his former lord for murder. Later, he was appreciated by the Great Khan for his bravery in battle, and was given the throne, and even his name was changed by the Great Khan at that time. ”

After listening to the captive's words, Su He became a little interested. I chose to take refuge in the lord, so I have these current statuses. And this murderer who changed his name to a hero was actually more fortunate than himself, and he was directly appreciated by the Great Khan and got a candidate.

At this time, the old man temporarily stopped the interrogation, and began to explain the information he learned to the old man Fan on the side.

"This guy seems to be the family of a small Mongolian lord (in fact, for the military attaches of the Ming army, their family can indeed be regarded as a retainer), and he is a commoner who made his fortune by taking refuge in Hudun Rabbit (the Ming people's name for Lin Dan Khan). Although he was only in charge of a village, there were more than 170 people, and there were about 60 men who could fight, and some slaves might be able to fight. It seems that the guy whose name means hero, does have some skills. ”

"Then why did they choose to go out at this time, is it because they discovered us?" After understanding some basic conditions, Master Fan wanted to know more subtle and direct information.

"I'll keep asking, but you should also send a few more people to keep guard." Although after the previous battle, some people have gone out to continue the vigilance. But after learning some of the information, Master Xiucai felt that he had to continue to strengthen.

Master Fan nodded, after all, there was nothing wrong with being careful, so he called a few more people out to patrol the sentry. And Su He's men and horses had consumed a lot of physical strength before, so they stayed for the time being.

(Mongolian) "What are you going out to patrol this time, who is the leader of your sentry horses, and is there anyone else on this patrol?" ”

(Mongolian) "There was a slave in the village who killed people and ran away, and we came out to patrol him in order to capture him." The man you shot at the end is our head, Battle's brother. In addition to us, six other sentinels were sent to the east and six to the southwest. ”

(Mongolian) "Didn't your Great Khan move west before, and why didn't you go with him?" ”

(Mongolian) "The Great Khan, in order to hide from the enemy in the east, forced everyone to leave with him. However, Batel believed that doing so would kill many of the herds on the road, so he did not accept the Great Khan's call. And Battle was also worried that the other nobles from the original would seek revenge, so he took people to hide here. ”

After listening to the conversation between the master and the captive, Su He suddenly felt that although this former murderer like himself had some knowledge, his final choice was still very bad. Su He also learned that the Great Khan's army was not doing well after moving westward through some of the attached Mongol descendants, and even heard that some people were hungry and ate human flesh.

However, this guy named Batel made a big mistake by moving his people to this vicinity in order to avoid other Mongol nobles. The threat of the Ming army also exists, and this time the border army is out of the post as proof, and the old man is still following behind with hundreds of cavalry.

After listening to the captive's answer, Master Xiucai relayed the information he got to Master Fan. After the two leaders discussed for a while, they continued to interrogate and verify with other captives, and found that what the captives said was indeed true.

Su He has always followed Master Xiucai's side, but when the two leaders discussed in a whisper, Su He would still know each other and go a little farther. Ever since the traitor appeared in the past, Master Xiucai has a strong sense of secrecy. If it weren't for Master Xiucai taking the initiative to speak out and listening to the deliberations of the leaders without authorization, he would definitely be the unlucky one.

However, after all, Su He has been following Master Xiucai for a long time, and he is not unable to guess what the old man is saying. If Battle had only sixty or so men capable of fighting, and had sent eighteen sentinels from three directions, there would have been only forty or so of the enemy left in the pasture.

And now Master Xiucai and Master Fan have more than 50 elite cavalry under their command, and if they join with Master Zhou's more than 20 cavalry, this combat power can already defeat the enemy.

It's just that this battle will become a defeat battle that Master Xiucai said before. It will still be a perfect encirclement battle under everyone's flexible movement. This question will be something that the scheming master is constantly thinking about.

"Hiss~hiss."

didn't let Su He and the others continue to think, and it was the unique sound of Jinding Mountain's special arrows. The sentinels who were on guard outside also discovered the situation, and the cavalry of the border army immediately began to prepare for battle.

However, after meeting with the Sentinel Cavalry, everyone found that it was just a false alarm. Because the person who came was Zhou Shaoteng, who returned from a mission, the other party not only returned completely, but also joined the team with some other people.

It turned out that Zhou Shaoteng also encountered a team of Dazi's sentinels, and after killing and capturing everyone, he also rescued a Han people who was captured by the Mongol sentinels.

This person is the slave who escaped from the pasture of Battle, although he has been scarred by Dazi's torture, but he still has the spirit to tell this group of Ming cavalry all the information he knows.

Under the informed information of the rescued Hermes-Epitek, the three leaders of Zhou Shaoteng, Fan Shunjiang and Zhang Mengcheng glanced at each other, and a decision was quickly made among the three of them who had a tacit understanding.
