"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided!"

Qiao Gui and Qiao Fu had already brought someone over, and the two of them were full of horror.

"Brother Ke, what do you think?"

Zhang Ke had a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and said, "Kill, kill these two Tartars!" ”

"But killing them will alarm the Tartar army?"

"If you don't kill them, won't you go back and report it? It's all the same, you can hide it for a while if you kill it! ”

Qiao Fu nodded: "Brother Ke is right, we are only ten miles away from the village, we can run back." ”

The big guy can only pray like this, and the Tartar is getting closer and closer. Within a hundred paces, one of the Tartars was covered in armor and had bells and whistles on the outside.

His equestrian skills are amazing, and from time to time he plays with the pattern of hiding in the stirrups and pulling the flag with the wind, which is dazzling to watch. The Tartar laughed and shouted wildly in Mongolian, not taking the person in front of him in the slightest.

It's true that Zhang Ke and they don't even have military uniforms, they are clearly a caravan, how much ability they can have!

The Tartar rushed forward unscrupulously, until it reached about sixty paces, according to previous experience, the archers of the Ming Dynasty could not shoot this distance at all, let alone the fire gun.

The tartar stretched out his thumb and gestured downward, laughed wildly, and turned to leave.

He didn't know that several pairs of eyes had locked on him, and Qiao Fu had long wanted to do it, but he had been gritting his teeth and waiting for the best opportunity. As soon as the tartar turned, the bowstring rattled, and an arrow shot at it accurately.

Almost at the same time as Qiao Fu opened the bow, five or six more people were in trouble together. When dealing with the Xiashan Tiger, Zhang Ke was an archer, but did not have a good hard bow. As a result, after a lot of bows and arrows were seized, everyone changed their guns, and now it is not what it used to be.

The most joyful Tartar was hit by two arrows, and one of Qiaofu's arrows pierced his throat, and even the war horse was shot with an arrow and fell to the ground together.

The other Tartar didn't make it out, Qiao Gui shot the horse's leg, and the Tartar fell off his horse, rolled up, and tried to escape.

Zhang Ke waved the horsewhip fiercely, and jumped out at once, talking about Zhang Ke's equestrian skills are not very good, but this is the time to be desperate, four hooves galloped, and in a blink of an eye behind the Tartar, he jumped off the horse suddenly, like an eagle, and threw the Tartar to the ground.

Both men strained themselves, twisted each other, and rolled on the ground.

"Brother Ke, don't worry, we're here!"

Qiao Fu and the others all rushed up, and Zhang Ke's arm locked the throat of the tartar, so that his face turned purple. Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui grabbed Tartar's arm left and right, pulling him off the ground.

Zhang Ke hurriedly got up, drew his short sword and was about to kill.

"How are you?"

Zhang Ke suddenly screamed out loud, which surprised him more than when he met the tartar, the captured tartar's eyes were like cows, and his mouth was open enough to put two steamed buns side by side.

"How are you!"

Qiao Fu didn't know what was going on, he hurriedly looked over, and suddenly he was dumbfounded, the Tartar they caught, they knew it, it was the big Han Zhana they met in the Quang Ninh market!

The big man asked stupidly, "Why don't you sell stoves?" ”

Zhang Ke's impression of Zhana was not bad, and he waved his hand to let Qiao Fu let him go first.

"Zana, you'd better tell me why you came to beat the grass valley first?"

Zhana's face turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, I know that you are a good person, and you don't want to rob the Han people, but there is no way, it is Shanba Taiji's order." ”

"Shanbateiji, who is he?"

"It's the leader of our Uliang Habu, in fact, Shanba Taiji was also forced by someone, thousands of Han slaves in the Flower Fried Department escaped, they wanted to take revenge, they wanted to rob more people, so they forced us to kill together!"

Zhang Ke finally understood the reason, and let out a long breath: "Zana, do you want to go against me?" ”

Zhana shook his head like a rattle, "Brother Zhang, you are an honest businessman, I brought the clothes I changed into, and the mother-in-law at home liked it very much, and I also told more people, they all want to do business with you." ”

"Okay, do you see, my business has grown, there are so many carriages, I can provide you with more things, and I will drive these convoys to Quang Ninh in the next year. But if we get killed, it's all over! ”

Zhana was not stupid, his eyes rolled, he patted his chest and said: "Brother Zhang, the Mongols are affectionate, I will not betray you!" ”

Zhang Ke nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Zana, as long as I tell your leader, there is nothing to show up, I am grateful." In the future, as many goods as you want, they will be sold to you according to the price of Daming mainland. I can vouch for you, within five years, you will be the richest in the tribe. ”

Zana thought for a moment, and suddenly pulled out the dagger and scratched it on the side of his thigh, and the leather robe was sliced open, and bright red blood flowed out.

Zhana gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Zhang, I just said that I hit a cliff and fell to my death, I was lucky to climb up, you guys go quickly!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Zhang Ke arched his hand, and Qiao Fu and they fled with the convoy. I ran out of five or six miles in one breath, and when I looked back and saw that there was no movement, a heart was put in my stomach.

Qiao Gui said with some fear: "Fortunately, I met Zhana, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”

Zhang Ke clenched his fists and said: "This time we are lucky, but we won't always be so lucky, when we return to the village, we must practice hard, and when we meet the Tartars next time, we don't need to run away like this!" ”

"Your Excellency is right, my subordinates have written it down!"

The recruits who survived the death were secretly determined.

was running forward, and suddenly a few horses appeared in front of him, Zhang Ke was startled at first, but when he saw that it was Yue Zixuan who was running in front, Zhang Ke finally let out a long breath.

When Yue Zixuan saw the convoy, his eyes almost fell off.

"Your Excellency, you didn't meet the Tartars, did you?"

"Fortunately, I got away with it, and the village is okay? Did the downhill tiger attack the city? ”

Yue Zixuan hurriedly smiled and said, "No, that guy retreated to the south for more than five miles and set up camp in the valley." My lord, there are so many carriages, you have emptied the Black Mountain Pass, right? ”

"Hahaha, not only did it be emptied, but it was also burned!" Qiao Fu said with a laugh.

Yue Zixuan's eyes widened, "I heard that the Xiashan Tiger has been looting for many years, and his family is rich?" ”

Zhang Ke smiled noncommittally: "Hurry back to the village, the Tartars will come over at any time, and we'll talk about it when we get home!" ”

Running wildly all the way, Zhang Ke finally led the convoy back to Hewan Village.

Qiao Tieshan came out with a large group of soldiers, even Shen and Xiaoxue, and when they saw Zhang Ke coming back, tears welled up in their eyes.

"Ke'er, why don't you tell Sù Niang when you lead people out, my heart follows you!"

Zhang Ke's nose was also a little sour, hugged the old lady and smiled: "Mother, isn't the child back well." ”

Shen glared at Zhang Ke fiercely, and said angrily: "Ke'er, do you know no, just now the wolf smoke was everywhere, there was cannon sound everywhere, some people said that the Tartars came in, how scared my mother was!" ”

Not only the Shen family, even Zhang Ke was apprehensive, he smiled and said: "Mother, you can rest assured in the future, my son has a family background, and he will not take any more risks!" ”

Zhang Ke waved his hand as he said and laughed: "Brothers, take out the things in the car and let the big guys take a look!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they all jumped out of the car excitedly and lifted the tarpaulin.

Seeing that the car was full of supplies, these people couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and even Qiao Tieshan showed a look of horror.

He grabbed a pair of chain mail with trembling hands, looked at it carefully, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Okay, good thing, many children were injured yesterday, but there is no armor!" Hurry up and arm the big guys, my lord! ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Let's divide the same things first, we have seized five hundred stone of grain, one stone for each family, and the rest is kept as military food." With this stone grain, you can eat it until the New Year! In addition, there were many clothes and skins, and everyone had to have clothes to protect them from the cold. ”

"My lord Shengde, we are grateful!"

The people around knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowed to the ground one by one, and moved the food and clothes away with great gratitude.

The rest was silver and weapons, and the soldiers all gathered around Zhang Ke, looking at each other one by one.

"We have seized a lot of swords and firearms, but these things still need to be practiced, so everyone's main equipment is still a long spear, a long spear, plus a waist knife. We now have five teams of soldiers, four of them armed with spears, and each team is given twenty pairs of armor. ”

Zhang Ke said and looked at Qiao Fu again: "Your archery skills are the best, and fifty soldiers with excellent archery skills will be sent to you and trained well." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Ke was assigned to the end, and there were only firearms left. Qiao Tieshan said suddenly: "The current Ming army all regard the fire gun as a chicken rib, put a shot indiscriminately in front of the battle, turn around and run. In fact, when I was in North Korea, I saw teams of muskets fired together, the smoke of gunpowder filled the sky, and the Japanese were torn apart, and the blood flowed like a river, which was really majestic! ”

Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "Uncle Qiao is right, the firearm is indeed amazingly powerful if it is used well, but now the Tartars may be killed at any time, and we have no time to train." Set up the eight tiger squat cannons at the head of the city first, and as for the firecrackers, draw them from among the young people between the ages of fifteen and eighteen, and tell everyone to get ready! ”

With these weapons, the soldiers quickly got ready, thinking that a few days ago everyone had nothing, and now that they have weapons and armor, it is like a dream. The recruits admired Zhang Ke so much that their morale became higher and higher.

Zhang Ke also knew that it was not trivial for the Tartars to enter the Kou, and he and Qiao Tieshan took turns patrolling the city, and also sent a large number of sentry spies to monitor the Tartars' every move, while the village seized every minute of time to train recruits and hoard supplies to meet the upcoming challenges.

For two days, it was all bad news, and the surrounding Duntai villages were all poisoned by Tartars, and it can be said that there were no chickens and dogs left wherever they passed. At least hundreds of villagers have been looted, and if it weren't for the previous retreat, I am afraid that the losses would have been even greater.

In the midst of the anxious waiting, the scouts who had been released ran back one after another.

"Lord Qiyu, the Tartars have failed to break through the Daqing Fort for half a day, and have abandoned the Daqing Fort and attacked us instead. I guess it will be killed in an hour! ”

Qiao Tieshan's brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were red in the past few days.

"My lord, why do I sound a little wrong, the Tartars entered the Kou to rob money, food and people, and they should attack Daqing Fort no matter what. How can the Tartars give up the fat to gnaw the bones, how much oil and water can we have, the Tartars will never know that we have copied the Black Mountain Pass, right? ”

Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "There's nothing strange, isn't Xu Bangyan in Daqing Fort!" They can hire bandits to deal with us, and they can fake their hands Tartars. But in any case, they miscalculated! ”

Zhang Ke walked out of the house with a few captains in great strides, and at this time the courtyard was silently full of people, and everyone heard that the Tartars were coming, and they were clenched one by one.

"My lord, we will never be slaves to the Tartars again!"

"Yes, we must win!"

Looking at the excited crowd, Zhang Ke waved his fist vigorously and shouted loudly: "Folks, we finally have a place to live, we have to be like nails, nail me firmly, the tiger can't drive us away, and the Tartar can't do the same!" ”
