Outside the dead silence of Mushroom Yu Town, nearly 300 Manchurian Tartars on war horses were looking at Mushroom Yu in front of them, waiting for Niu Lu Zhangjing's order.

Suddenly, a murderous shout came out of Niu Lu Zhangjing's mouth.

"The first team, the second team of warriors, immediately enter the town and search for possible remnants."

Dozens of Manchurian Tatars shouted Manchu, as if they had suddenly been injected with a stimulant, screaming and beating their horses and rushing into the mushroom valley.

Although the imaginary battle did not break out, the corpses of the fifteen Manchurian warriors who had been stripped naked were brought out by their subordinates and placed in front of Niu Lu Zhangjing.

At the same time, an angry Tartar also followed, and reported angrily to the commander of Niu Lu: "Report to the general, after searching, not a single Ming Dynasty person was found in the town. However, all of our fifteen Manchurian warriors defending here were brutally slaughtered by the Ming Dynasty and all of them were killed. ”

"Please avenge the Manchurian warriors who died in the battle, and kill all the Ming Dynasty people who dare to provoke our Manchurian warriors."

Under the gaze of the surrounding subordinates, Niu Lu Zhangjing's face quickly turned blue with anger. He roared loudly at the dozens of tooth swingers that quickly gathered around him.

"You are very right, in the face of the cunning Ming Dynasty people, I must let you pay for your blood debts. A few of you, immediately lead your warriors to search around, and be sure to find the murderers of these warriors and avenge them. ”

"The other warriors are camping here, and as soon as we find the murderers, we will immediately send troops to destroy them."

In less than a day, several Han Chinese who had been released by Wei Zheng were found by the Tartars and brought back to the camp.

When it was learned that more than a dozen Manchurian warriors with strong combat effectiveness had died at the hands of a group of Han bandits. In order to vent his anger, the angry Tartars directly beheaded several Han people for public display. And in front of all the Tartars, he promised that he would send troops the next day to avenge the Manchurian warriors who died in battle, and to bloody the cottage where the Wei Zheng was currently located.

In fact, in the eyes of this Niu Lu Zhangjing, everything he just did was for his subordinates.

Avenging the warriors who died in battle was indeed one of the reasons why he wanted to send troops to the cottage, but it was not the ultimate goal.

The reason why he directly led this Niulu warrior after losing the connection with Mushroom Valley was to come. A very important reason is that the 100,000 catties of grain that the entire Niu Lu has worked hard to accumulate are stored here.

You must know that the reason why Manchuria wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty in the south again and again was in addition to realizing the so-called dream of territorial expansion. The most important reason for this was to loot enough food and living materials from the territory of the Ming Dynasty to survive.

Although the main force has looted countless grains and people from all over the country, those are all from the emperor and the princes, and there must be only a handful of them that can really be distributed to their own people.

Therefore, in order to let my people survive this winter and live better. In addition to completing the looting tasks assigned to him by the prince, he must also loot more food and living materials for his own people.

And the 100,000 catties of grain here are the hard work of the entire Niulu.

Although 100,000 catties of grain is not much for the whole of Manchuria, it is a very large number for his own people. If you save a little, it will be enough for all your clansmen to eat for three months, even if you can help your clansmen survive this difficult winter, there will be no problem.

Therefore, when Niu Lu Zhangjing learned from a few Han people that after Wei Zheng captured Mushroom Valley, he not only killed more than a dozen Manchurian warriors, but also took away the 100,000 catties of grain and more than 100 young and strong slaves he had hoarded here, Niu Lu Zhangjing's first thought was to take back these grains and slaves.

Because these grains and slaves are related to whether their own people can survive this winter and whether their people can continue to develop and grow.

Therefore, the temptation to take back the grain is significantly greater than revenge.

In order to prevent the batch of grain he had privately hoarded from being confiscated by Baylor, he was not going to deal with an elite Ming army, but a group of bandits who were not even as effective as the Ming army. Niu Lu Zhangjing did not report this operation to Baylor, but planned to solve it privately and recapture 100,000 catties of grain.

However, what this Niu Lu Zhangjing didn't expect was that it was his self-confidence and arrogance that made more than 200 Manchurian Tartars under his command consume little by little in this dense forest behind Mushroom Valley.

Until the entire Niu Lu army was wiped out, the white flag banner owner Dol Roll Baylor, who was located around Zunhua, still didn't know that one of his elite Niu Lu was about to disappear without a trace.

Early the next morning, in addition to leaving twenty and warriors to guard the camp and extra war horses. There were more than 260 Manchurian Tartars left, all armed on war horses, and under the command of Niu Lu Zhangjing, they rushed to the cottage to kill.

The mountain roads are not plains, and the Tartars do not ride as fast as they do on foot. It doesn't do anything other than look imposing.

Therefore, when the mighty Tatar cavalry had just appeared in the mountain pass, the two tiger and leopard army spies hidden in the shadows of the mountain pass easily overtook the Tatar cavalry and appeared in the cottage two hours in advance.

Seeing that Wei Zheng was guiding training at the training ground, the panting spies had just rushed into the training ground and shouted loudly.

"Report to the general, something has happened. The Tartars, the Manchurian Tartars have come to attack us. ”

As soon as the words fell, the more than 200 soldiers who were still training in full swing just now seemed to be directly fixed on the spot, and at the same time stopped training in their hands, and focused their eyes on the spies who came in a hurry.

Although Wei Zheng hurriedly glanced at the spies, he wanted to stop the spies from continuing to talk in the two training sessions.

However, the spies who were already shrouded in fear in their hearts never saw Wei Zheng's eyes coming to him.

In front of all the officers and men of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he continued to report to Wei Zheng: "General, we have found a Tatar army in the mountain pass, almost two hundred and fifty people, and many people wearing iron armor, who are quickly daring to come in the direction of our military camp. ”

Although he knew that the revenge of the Manchurian Tatars would come sooner or later, Wei Zheng did not expect this revenge to come so quickly.

What's more, for the sake of the bandits under his command, the Tartars actually dispatched a force of Niu Lu.

Thinking of the superior forces dispatched by the Manchurian Tatars, a trace of solemnity quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

Although his own strength has reached one Niu Lu of Tartars, the three hundred people of Niu Lu of Tartars are all elites who can immediately go to the battlefield to participate in the battle. As for himself, only more than sixty veterans can barely fight.

It is certain that in any respect, in front of Tartar and Niu Lu, he does not have any advantage.

If one is not good, the capital that I have worked hard to accumulate will be wiped out in this battle.

After glancing at the equally weak-hearted subordinates around him, Wei Zheng took a deep breath and calmed his facial expression as calmly as possible. He asked the two jars in front of him.

"So much, you're sure you're not mistaken......"

The two of them loudly assured: "General, you will never be mistaken... In addition to one person and one war horse, more than two hundred Tartars also brought at least two hundred more war horses, which are so vast that there is no end in sight..."

"This is a mountain battle, and the Tartars are still alone and on two horses, is the Tartar commander a fool... Wait, I seem to figure it out. Wei Zheng frowned and said to himself.

Wang Feng, who looked anxious, subconsciously said: "General, what do you understand..."

Wei Zheng replied thoughtfully: "The reason why the Manchurian Tartars sent so many troops to deal with us is not for revenge, but for the food in our hands...."

"When I was in Mushroom Valley, I was still thinking about how a small Tartar stronghold could have hoarded so much grain. Not surprisingly, Mushroom Valley must be a secret grain storage point of the Tartars. And we, unfortunately, happened to beat the Tartars' grain station, which caused trouble and forced the Tartars to send so many troops to deal with us at one time. ”

Why did the Tartars send so many troops to deal with the cottage, it was no longer the answer that Wang Feng wanted to know the most.

In Wang Feng's eyes, at this moment, the most important thing to solve is how to let the cottage survive the current crisis. Otherwise, the Haw Par Army will be completely ruined in an instant.

As soon as Wei Zheng's voice fell, Wang Feng asked impatiently: "Then how should we fight....General, I don't know if you have a way?" ”

After some thought, Wei Zheng replied in a firm tone: "The Tartars are menacing, we must find a way to rub their sharp energy and force them to suspend their attack, so that we have enough time to prepare for a decisive battle with the Tartars." ”
