On this night, the camp of the Heavenly Army was not quiet, except for those who slept to death due to fatigue, everyone else was more or less noisy.

When it was light, breakfast had already been prepared, and the officers and men of the Heavenly Army were asked to convey Hu Guang's orders by their respective leaders while eating, and a tense atmosphere suddenly permeated the officers and men of the Heavenly Army. After finishing breakfast in a hurry, the heavenly army chose a straight path and went straight to the eagle's beak ditch.

The cavalry that was scattered out returned one after another, and except for the most necessary places where cavalry warnings were needed, most of the cavalry and the convoy of the Heavenly Army acted together.

When the sun hung overhead, the rear cavalry retreated, bringing back news that Bu Shitu's army had arrived.

According to the prior arrangement, the formation of the Heavenly Army was changed, from a long snake formation to a similar four-sided formation, with the mule carts on the periphery and everyone continuing to hurry on the inside.

Hu Guang and several other leaders stood in a carriage behind them, holding monoculars and observing the distance.

It didn't take long to see two thousand horsemen emerge from the horizon of the steppe, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, even if it was far away, was already heard like thunder.

Inevitably, many of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army showed nervous faces, and looked at each other as they walked.

The army of Bu Shitu seemed to be very bold, and rushed towards the convoy with impunity, and only a stone's throw away from the Heavenly Army did they slow down and observe, pointing at this side with impunity, and talking to each other about something.

Obviously, this convoy may have been a large Han caravan. Looking at the people in the team, not all of them are strong men, even the old people and women.

Hu Guang could clearly see the ecstasy and greed on their faces through the binoculars, and knew that they must have taken a fancy to this cart of supplies.

The order was passed on to the horses, and the mules and horses on the periphery were quickly draped with thick blankets, and each mule and horse was led by a special person to continue walking. The soldier in armor leaned out of the car. Armed with weapons in hand, start defending.

Either they saw that there were guards on this side, and there were people in armor, or they saw that the convoy was not afraid of them and continued to march, and those Mongols did not launch an attack for a long time, and they were always discussing something.

More than a quarter of an hour later. Suddenly, more than 100 horsemen broke away from the brigade and rushed towards the convoy with their teeth and claws.

When Hu Kuan saw it, he took out the step bow on his back with his backhand, stood on the car and began to prepare. When the other twenty or so archers saw it, they also began to prepare.

Hu Guang put down the binoculars and turned his head to Hu Hansan on the side and nodded. Thirty flintlock pistols were immediately arranged, and they lay on the cart waiting for the next order.

The Mongol cavalry was clearly faster than the convoy was moving, and their screams grew louder and louder. In particular, one of the Mongol cavalrymen who rushed to the front, tall and arm-long. It's very powerful. Wearing a leather armor and wielding a huge mace, he looked fierce and vicious.

On the contrary, no one spoke, and it seemed very quiet.

Wang Heizi was lying next to Hu Guang, watching a little nervously. As Hu Guang's bodyguard, he must ensure the safety of his son. But when he saw that the Mongols did not dismount with a bow or a bow on their horses. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Guang was very calm, just observing the situation on the battlefield. As for the command of the upcoming war. He had already delegated it to his eldest brother Hu Kuan, after all, his eldest brother's experience was much richer than his own.

Suddenly, a bowstring sounded, and a heavy arrow shot out of the heavenly army with a piercing sound, and the powerful Mongolian cavalryman who rushed to the front on the opposite side screamed, and was hit by an arrow in his forehead. Immediately roll over and fall off the horse.

The sound of the bow was the signal, and the other archers immediately began to fire their arrows, and the flintlock musketeers opened fire as well.

The sounds of "bang bang bang" and "bang bang bang" sounded, and gunsmoke rose at the end of the convoy.

In just one round, more than 20 of the more than 100 Mongol cavalry who rushed over were shot down. The rest of the cavalry turned a corner and ran back, as if frightened.

When Hu Kuan saw it, he no longer wasted arrows, so he ordered it to stop.

Thunderous cheers immediately rang out in the heavenly army, but what was a little special was that the shouts of the old men and women were louder.

Hu Guang continued to observe with a telescope, and saw that the Mongols led by the other side of the formation had shocked faces, and after a discussion, he saw only one horse galloping out, while raising his hands to signal, and shouting loudly in a somewhat stiff Ming official dialect: "We are the subordinates of the king of Shunyi, what do you Han people want to come to the grassland to kill my king of Shunyi?" ”

"Our leader said that if he left half of your supplies, he would intercede with the king of Shunyi and exempt you from the crime of manslaughter, otherwise the army will attack and be killed!"

They were apparently referring to the conflict between the tanma, and used it as an excuse to find a reason to ask for supplies.

When Hu Guang heard this, he couldn't help laughing. As soon as these Mongols began to see so many supplies and old men and women, they didn't say a word, but sent people to test them first. If you don't fight on your side, you'll already be killed by this time.

Seeing that the strength here is good, not only there are armored soldiers, but also archers and firecrackers, I feel that these Han people are not so easy to bully, so I began to threaten with words, hoping to get supplies for nothing.

In the previous time, Hu Guang still didn't know how strong the combat effectiveness of the pro-army under King Shunyi was. It can only be judged from the fact that Lin Dan Khan was driven over by Liaodong Jian, and Lin Dan Khan drove the King of Shunyi away, it should not be too strong.

However, the battle just now has made Hu Guangzhi know the combat effectiveness of this army, and these Mongols have lost one of the most crucial qualities of their ancestors, which is courage.

Don't look at the grinning teeth and claws they looked like when they rushed over just now, in fact, they were very timid, and when they saw the bow and arrows and muskets shooting, they were very frightened and ran back.

Since the other party came to negotiate, no matter what, Hu Guang had to come up with an idea. Therefore, including Hu Kuan and the others, they didn't move, just turned their heads to look at Hu Guang.

Hu Guang didn't procrastinate, and shouted back directly: "We are a newly established Heavenly Army, go back and tell your leader, as well as your King Shunyi, that if people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone sins against me, I will return it with a tooth for a tooth. ”

The man looked at Hu Guang with a little surprise, thinking in his heart that he had never heard of the Heavenly Army, and such a strange name. He hesitated for a moment, and then shouted again: "It doesn't matter what kind of army you are, don't toast, don't eat and drink, the army of five thousand is here, and it has angered us, and you will definitely die without a place to bury!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a string sound, and his head was cold, and he found that the hat on his head was gone.

Hu Kuan held the bow in his hand, stood beside his younger brother, and shouted: "If you want to fight, you will fight, what are you talking about!" (To be continued......)
