After speaking, Wei Zheng quickly shifted his gaze to the two spies and asked, "Two brothers, when you found the Tartar troops, did you see the Tartar vanguards?" If so, how many people are there in the Tartar vanguard in total ...."

The two spies nodded subconsciously and replied, "There are vanguard troops..."

"There were more than twenty people in all, all riding tall horses, about two miles away from their main force..."

Under the popularization of Wei Zheng many times, Wang Feng, who already had a certain understanding of the establishment of the Manchurian army, said: "General, this is exactly the number of troops in the Tartars..."

After speaking, he asked Wei Zheng thoughtfully: "You just said that we must first frustrate the enemy's spirit, do you want to eat the Manchurian Tartar vanguard first, and give the main Tartar force a head start..."

"That's right.," Wei Zheng affirmed loudly.

"Not only do I have to eat the Tartar thread troops, but I also have to write a letter to the Tartar Niu Lu Zhangjing. Warn the Tartar Niu Lu Zhangjing that if he continues to attack us regardless of the urgency, he will be ready to break the net with us. When the time comes, not only will he not be able to snatch back a grain of grain, but he will also not be able to catch a single of us..."

"The mountain we are on is so big, there is a place for us to hide....if the other party really attacks us regardless of a qiē, don't give us a little buffer time. Then we threaten the Tartar Niu Lu Zhangjing to burn the captured grain and flee to the mountains..."

"When the time comes, not only will the Tartars not be able to get the food back, but we won't be able to catch any of us..."

"So, as long as Tartar Niu Lu Zhangjing is not a fool, the attack will be suspended. Rearrange an encirclement plan and find a way to trap us in the cottage. Even if we burned the grain, we could not escape the encirclement and suppression of the heavy troops of the Tartars. ”

Hearing this, a trace of puzzlement quickly appeared on Wang Feng's face.

He asked Wei Zheng: "General, in this way, the Tartars who attacked us did not want to divide the way, but directly surrounded us in the cottage, so that we could not escape." ”

At this moment, a mysterious smile quickly flashed from Wei Zheng's face, and he affirmed to Wang Feng and all his subordinates: "You are right, what I want is the division of the Tartar army. As long as the Tartars divide their troops, I have a specific way to smash the heavy Tartar forces to encircle and suppress us. ”

Wei Zheng had already said so, as a subordinate, coupled with everyone's trust in Wei Zheng, everyone stopped talking, quietly waiting for Wei Zheng's next order.

didn't let everyone wait too long, Wei Zheng spoke again with a confident face.

"No matter what happens next, the first thing we have to face is how to thwart the enemy's edge and eat the vanguard of the Tartars."

"I have decided that the task of destroying the Tartar vanguard will be entrusted to the longbow platoon and the original pike. As for the remaining brothers, the two of you will be in command and continue to train in the cottage, striving to develop the ability to kill the enemy as soon as possible. ”

Although Wang Feng wanted to go together, after seeing Wei Zhengyan's gaze, he still wisely chose to agree.

He promised loudly to Wei Zheng: "Please rest assured, I will lead the remaining brothers to train well and wait for the general's triumph." ”

On the rugged mountain road, a path trodden out by bandits winds its way deep into the dense forest.

At this moment, the neighing of a war horse suddenly sounded at the end of the path, and then a curse of a tartar quickly spread.

Because of the rough road, the war horse that walked in front of the horse did not step on it steadily, and directly stumbled in front of the horse, overturning the rider on horseback, that is, a Manchurian Tartar wearing leather armor, to the ground.

Seeing that the mountain road ahead is getting rougher and rougher, it is not only dangerous to ride on a war horse, but the speed of the march will become slower and slower. Wearing two layers of iron armor, the Tartar Swing Tooth Horn commanded decisively.

"Warriors, the mountain roads here are not suitable for horseback riding. Now I order, all of them, to dismount and march on foot......"

The Tartar advance became faster, however, the main force of the Tartars, in order to save their body, still rode on their horses and advanced towards the cottage at an increasingly slower marching pace.

Invisibly, the distance between the two armies became larger and larger, and the time left for Wei Zheng to eat their forwards by the main force of the Tartars became more and more.

In a dense forest directly in front of more than twenty tartars, fifteen archers led by Wei Zheng himself were lying motionless in the bushes, blending in with their surroundings.

As the Tartar got closer and closer to him, Wei Zheng, who was in the middle of everyone, first drew a feather arrow and aimed steadily at the Tartar who was getting closer and closer to him on the mountain road.

Although the more than ten archers around him have not yet been systematically trained, they can be selected by Wei Zheng into the longbow platoon, and at least they can draw bows and shoot arrows, but they are not accurate.

However, in the battle that is about to break out in front of him, what Wei Zheng wants is that everyone is not accurate.

Because, only if the arrows shot by these people are not accurate, will the Tartar vanguard underestimate the enemy, will they pursue themselves regardless of a qiē, and will they slam into the spear array carefully prepared by the guards under their own traction.

Seeing that all the longbowmen around him who were participating in the battle for the first time were ready to shoot arrows, Wei Zheng, who was satisfied, quickly shifted his gaze to the Tartar who was quickly approaching the ambush circle on the mountain road.

Fifty meters, Wei Zheng did not move......

Thirty meters, Wei Zheng still didn't move......

Twenty meters, when everyone hidden in the grass could even clearly see the hideous face of the Tartar, Wei Zheng still did not move.

Some people may say that with the archery of the Tartars, a distance of twenty meters can definitely be used to shoot wherever you want. Wei Zheng, who was hidden on the side of the mountain road, did not worry about the longbow platoon he had worked so hard to build, and he was shot by the Tartar archers here.

In fact, otherwise, in the densely wooded mountain in front of you, a feathered arrow often shoots less than ten meters, and it will lose its power due to various obstacles. Therefore, no matter how good the archery skills of the Tartar archers are, they cannot threaten their subordinates hidden in the dense forest.

Someone wants to ask again, since the Tartar archers can't threaten the longbowmen under Wei Zheng's command. The longbowmen under the command of Nawei Zheng were not equally incapable of threatening the Tartars on the mountain road.

If anyone thinks like this, it proves that the person has made another empirical mistake.

The rugged path where the Tartar is located, due to long-term man-made destruction, the dense range of the surrounding woods is far less than that of the deep forest, and can even be described as 'sparse'.

Shoot an arrow from the dense forest, and the arrow can fly lightly for 20 meters before encountering an obstacle. And when you shoot arrows into the dense forest from outside, the arrows often fly more than ten meters and will be slowly unloaded by various obstacles.

Unless there is a powerful archer in the middle of the tartar, the arrows shot are very powerful, and can easily penetrate all kinds of obstacles without diminishing their power. Of course, this is obviously impossible for a Tartar army of only two dozen people.

Fifteen meters, when the hands of the surrounding subordinates holding the longbow had begun to tremble slightly, and beads of sweat began to flow from his forehead in the biting cold wind, Wei Zheng finally moved.

With a slight whirling sound of breaking through the air, the arrows flew lightning toward a Tartar armorer. Wei Zheng shouted at his subordinates: "Everyone in the longbow platoon, launch immediately, and prepare to retreat." ”

"Whoosh ......"

After more than a dozen arrows flew out of the dense forest one after another, Wei Zheng, who reacted quickly, had already put a second arrow on the longbow in his hand.

Aim at an armored soldier who is preparing to conceal and shoot a feathered arrow. Then, regardless of the outcome of the battle, he held the longbow in his hand and withdrew with his longbow platoon subordinates to the position where the longbow platoon was.

Sixteen longbowmen, including Wei Zheng, easily retreated into the dense forest, but the Tartar Swing Tooth Lama who was suddenly attacked was furious on the spot.

In a round of arrow rain, because Wei Zheng shot two arrows in a row, the two Tartar armor soldiers who were hit were directly killed by arrows on the spot.

Although the other fifteen arrows were not on target, at a distance of fifteen meters, even if the blind cat hit the mouse, two Tartars were incapacitated by the arrows, and one Tartar was wounded in the arm.

Looking at the corpses and wounded of the warriors in front of him, the Tartar quickly thought about what to do in his heart.

Let go of these bandits and continue to search and advance, and open the way for the main force in the rear, the morale of the warriors under his command will definitely be greatly affected. Not only that, but the dozen or so bandits who had just fled did not know where they would continue to launch sneak attacks on themselves.

After all, the forest here is too dense, and no matter how cautious you are, you can't prevent it.

Immediately lead his subordinates to pursue the fleeing bandits, and it is possible that he will not be able to complete the search task given to him by Niu Lu Zhangjing.

Just when Niu Lu Zhangjing was embarrassed, the report of an ironclad soldier beside him directly dispelled the worries in the heart of the swinging tooth.

"Judging from the perspective of the warriors' arrows: although the opponent has more than a dozen archers, there are only two qualified archers at most, and the other archers are not trained."

"As long as we are determined to go after it with all our might. With the skills of the warriors, at the latest, we can destroy all the Han bandits who dare to sneak attack us, and avenge the warriors who died in battle. ”

Eliminating the sneak attackers in a single stick of incense will not only not affect his mission as a striker, but also increase his own combat merits, so that the morale of the warriors can be restored.

Why not do such a good thing.

Facing the longing gaze of the remaining twenty warriors under his command, the Tartar waved his teeth and resolutely ordered: "All the wounded warriors will stay to take care of the horses, and the remaining warriors will pursue with me to eliminate the bandits who dare to sneak up on us." ”
