The cavalry company was limited by the number of horses and was not yet numbered, with only eighty-two people. Fortunately, the mules and horses pulling the cart were also dispatched, and the entire sharp knife company was pulled out, plus Hu Guang and others, a total of 180 people.

The so-called sharp knife company was named by Hu Guang. It was the most powerful company in Hu Kuan's combat battalion, and the personnel were specially selected for the front line of cold weapon fighting.

The team that came out this time can be described as luxurious, everyone in the cavalry is in leather armor, and the sharp knife company is all in iron armor. At present, there are no firearms, and the existing ones are disdainful of Hu Guang. Therefore, they all use their own cold weapons, swords, guns, swords, halberds, strong bows and crossbows.

The group all dismounted upstream and crossed the Yellow River, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers had left the Yellow River and could not see their backs, they galloped along the bank of the Yellow River to the ferry.

Liu Daneng lay on his horse and ran in front. The target of this time is Yejiabao, which is not far from the ferry. To be more precise, he actually went to Ye Tianlong.

originally thought that there would be a tough battle, but he didn't expect Ye Tianlong to come out of the nest in this winter, which really deserved his bad luck.

Liu Daneng saw in the telescope that Ye Tianlong didn't care about the lives of the people in his fort at all, and drove them to curry favor with the dog official, and he was already angry in his heart, and he must intercept Ye Tianlong before he returned to the fort.

No one thought that the thieves from Fugu would dare to come out on such a cold day, and they still came to Yejiabao, which is dozens of miles away from Fugu on this side of Shanxi.

Just as a group of people shrank back to Yejiabao, they heard the sound of horses' hooves faintly behind them.

Those ordinary people in Yejiabao curled up and tried to lean towards the side of the road. And those Ye Tianlong's people all stopped and looked back curiously.

Even Ye Tianlong came out of the sedan chair, and glanced at Steward Hou in a little surprise, and he didn't know what happened to the governor, so he actually sent a horse back?

At Yejiabao, about two miles away, the gate is closed. On the tall fence, from time to time, people poke their heads out to look in the direction of the ferry, but it's a pity. There has been no movement.

Or if the wait was fruitless, his temper became a little dry, so he was angry at the forts who were holding knives and guns and shrunk against the shelter of the city wall: "Look carefully." If a thief comes in, do you want to live? ”

"Go, go up there and stand up, and let me know as soon as the master comes back."

“……”

Even if the thieves were coming, they would have come a few days earlier. Yejiabao is also a big fort anyway. There are fewer thieves coming, and it's not enough to stuff the teeth, but too much? How many people can come out of this weather?

Those few burgers thought so, and there were quite complaints in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, but they were the second managers of the Ye family, so they could only reluctantly walk to the wall.

The men were standing listlessly on the fence when they suddenly heard a movement. Several people looked at each other, and then they all looked in the direction of the ferry.

Some shadows emerged on the undulating official road, and I slowly saw the whole picture. About twenty heavily armed horsemen were heading towards Yejiabao.

One of the burgers was taken aback. Hurriedly walked towards a fence, and reached out to pick up a gong hanging there.

But another burgher immediately stopped him and said, "You have itchy skin and want to ring the police gong, will it be a thief?" ”

If it weren't for the thieves, the police gong would have been sounded and the people in the fort would have been frightened, and a meal would have been light.

"Sir, didn't they go out without horseback?" Nabaodin explained. The current meaning, since he is not the master, then the person who came to Yejiabao at this time must be a thief.

He knew that if the thieves outside entered the fort and burned, killed and looted, the people in the fort would not want to live.

"Your grandmother's, I didn't see the equipment of those horsemen. Which thief has such good equipment? The man immediately asked.

At this moment, another burger, who was still observing, spoke: "What are you arguing about, it is the steward Hou who has returned with the official army." ”

When the two heard this, they glanced at each other. He stopped arguing, and walked back to look out.

Sure enough, they saw the familiar steward cowering and riding on a horse, and there were all horsemen in leather armor on the left and right.

Needless to say, these knights were naturally men of the cavalry company. In this cold winter. The four-legged ones soon caught up with the two-legged ones who had returned to the fort.

Because they went to the ferry with the governor's team to pave the way, the Ye family members didn't have any weapons, at most they only took some sticks to supervise the work of the people in the fort. This pair of heavily armed cavalry, the combat effectiveness of both sides is not a heavyweight at all. Liu Daneng led his subordinates to block the road and immediately made dumplings.

At the moment, Liu Daneng took some of his subordinates and threatened Steward Hou, so he asked him to bring them over to deceive the door.

At this time, the equipment they wore was captured from the Fugu You family, and it was also the equipment belonging to the Ming army. At first glance, the first impression is naturally not that of a thief.

Liu Daneng saw that the fort on the wall had noticed him, so he threatened in a low voice: "Take out your majesty at the ferry, no matter what you say, you must open the fort gate, otherwise your dog life will be lost!" ”

How can a person not bow his head under the eaves, unless the steward can see death as home. But it is obvious that Hou Guan is not, and the better the living conditions, the more he lacks this quality of seeing death as home.

Steward Hou agreed again and again, and when he slowly approached the gate of the fort, he took out his usual majesty for his own life, and shouted at the wall: "Blind your dog's eyes, I won't open the door when I come back?" ”

The people on the wall had already distinguished at this time that the clothes of these horsemen were different from the patrol team that had left before, but because the steward Hou led them over, they couldn't understand it for a while, and when they were in shock, they were scolded by the steward Hou.

Hearing such familiar words, the burghers did not dare to offend him, and hurriedly went to open the door.

The steward had already heard the movement, and when he went up to the wall to look, he did not suspect him, but asked loudly, "Where is the master?" ”

Steward Hou was slightly stunned, not thinking that he was here. However, he immediately had an idea, and said loudly: "The governor is angry, and the master is carefully accompaniing!" No, let these soldiers come to the castle to get some hot food, both the governor and the master have been hungry for so long! ”

After such a long time, the second steward was waiting impatiently, and when he heard his explanation, he did not doubt it, and immediately said: "Madame has already made me wait here for a long time, and I will go and tell you immediately." ”

As they spoke, the burghstein had opened the gates. When Liu Daneng saw it, he glanced at his subordinates and entered the fort gate.

In the distance, Hu Guang saw this scene through the telescope, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't think that he would open the fort gate so easily, which is really good!

He immediately ordered the whole team to mount their horses and wagons, and immediately storm the fort.

What Hu Guang didn't expect was that things were not as easy as he thought. (To be continued.) )
