Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Seven or eight days had passed since Chinese New Year's Eve, and the mountains of Helinger were silent.

Winter is the season of recuperation, and most of the herdsmen, horse thieves, and domestic animals on the grassland are nested in their nests waiting for the spring flowers to bloom.

This was the case with Ringle at this time of year, but this year there was a bit of an accident. A caravan came out of the Tuoketo steppe and headed for the trade road that had been deserted for half a year.

More than thirty men drove the pack horse caravan, the horses were full of goods, Ning Sheng walked in front with a fur hat, he was now the shopkeeper of this caravan. The caravan consisted of more than a dozen guards, dressed in leather clothing, with bows and arrows and long knives straddling their waists. The mountain road to the pass was rugged and undulating, it had just snowed heavily, the road was very slippery, and it was not fast to walk, and it would take at least five or six days for the caravan to reach the mouth of the Hukou according to this degree.

Since the beginning of winter, the Zhongshan wolves in Lao Ya Mountain are rarely quiet these days, and there are always some refugees begging in front of the cottage a few days ago.

After killing a few wastes that are not long-eyed, no one dares to make noise, it is estimated that they are all dead, either freezing to death or starving to death, and the Zhongshan wolf has no intention of caring about it.

Last year's battle between the Chahars and the Tumuts doubled the number of people in his cottage. The original happiness had now become a lot of scruples, because he heard that the Flying Moon on the grass had broken in the Tuoketo Grassland.

To be a horse thief, Zhongshan Wolf is certainly not a stupid person, and there has been no caravan out of the fortress since the city of Naturalization was occupied by the Chahars in June. Without caravans, the horse thieves had no choice but to attack the Mongols. The Chahars deliberately indulged horse thieves in attacking the Tumut herdsmen, so that they had gained enough years ago

AC food, but what about next year? Regardless of how the grass flies and dies, it means that the Tokto grassland is no longer safe for horse thieves. There was no caravan, no Han Chinese, and Lingle was dead.

"It seems that Kaichun can only enter the customs!" Zhongshan Wolf secretly made up his mind, I heard that the hungry people in Shaanxi were everywhere, and it was a good time to fish in troubled waters, and many old friends were mixed up there.

While he was thinking about it, a watchful minion came in and said, "Two people have come to the door to see the big boss." ”

The Zhongshan wolf scolded irritably: "Why are there so many people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, drive them away!" ”

"I'm not here to ask for food, I said I had news to tell the big boss."

Zhongshan Wolf took off the knife on the wall and walked towards the gate of the village, scolding as he went: "It's better not to lie to me!" ”

At the gate of the village, Che Feng was waiting with an entourage who knew the way.

"You're a Mongol!" Zhongshan Wolf was a little surprised, and looked at the car wind coldly.

"Yes, the big bosses have plagued us Tumuts a lot in the past few months!"

The Zhongshan wolf sneered and said, "Tumuts? You thought it was before! ”

Che Feng covered his face with frost, and said: "You must have heard the news of flying on the grass, and it is the end of offending our Tumuts." You are limited to go down the mountain and surrender within three days, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not be left after the village is broken. ”

The Zhongshan wolf laughed and said, "It's a pity that the Monan grassland is now the world of the Chahar people, do you still have the ability?" ”

"Have you forgotten that both the Chahars and the Tumuts are Mongols?" Che Feng dropped this sentence, turned around and strode away.

The Zhongshan wolf stretched out his hand to order him to be arrested, but after all, he still didn't say anything, and watched the car leave with suspicion.

In the afternoon, the sentry patrolling outside panicked back to the village and reported: "Cavalry, Mongolian cavalry, there are a lot of Mongolian cavalry under the mountain!" ”

The Zhongshan wolf was taken aback and went to the high place of Lao Yao Mountain to watch.

In the mountain road between the two mountains, there are more than 300 Mongolian cavalry galloping on horseback, kicking the snowflakes with iron hooves, and looking at the direction of the Lao Ya Mountain Pass.

"What a Mongolian cavalry!" The wolf's head buzzed. Once upon a time in the steppe horses \u8d

3c Only the Tumuts dared to steal, and all the horse thieves who blatantly robbed the Mongols were exterminated, and this steppe was the steppe of the Mongols after all. In the past few months, he has been bold, and there is a reason.

"The Tumuts reconciled with the Chahar?" The Zhongshan wolf's mind was a mess.

It is absolutely impossible to surrender down the mountain, and the mountain wolf will never put his life in the hands of others until he is cornered.

At the foot of the mountain, 300 Mongolian cavalry camped in the woods on the side of the road under Lao Ya Mountain, and after settling down, they cut down a lot of big trees with branches to block the middle of the road down the mountain, as if they were preparing to close the mountain. The clever guards on the periphery have all retreated to the cottage.

That night, Lao Yashan was heavily guarded and panicked, and the Zhongshan Wolf personally patrolled the camp twice, fearing that the Tumuts would attack at night.

At noon the next day, the Zhongshan wolf was restless and heard the minions looking at the top of the mountain come to report: "The big boss, the Mongolian cavalry is here again!" ”

The Zhongshan wolf climbed to the top of the mountain, or on the road where the Mongolian cavalry came yesterday, a group of cavalry slowly and leisurely came towards Lao Ya Mountain, and the number was much more than two hundred.

"It's over!" The heart of the mountain wolf was cold, and the Tumut people must have freed their hands.

In the mountains and forests behind Lao Ya Mountain, seven or eight miles away, Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan were gnawing dry food, they came here to ambush last night.

For so many days, what made Zhai Zhe spend the most energy was the terrain of Helinger. The refugees who were lured out of the mountains had been wandering here for more than half a year, familiar with most of the mountains and roads, and at the same time inextricably linked to the Zhongshan wolf and the newly recruited horse thieves in Gengguang Village. With these people, Zhai Zhe made the topography of Zhongshan Wolf and Geng Guang Cottage clear. The old camp of horse thieves usually has multiple roads, one is the main gate, the other is the small road, and Zhai Zhe is waiting on the road behind the old crow mountain.

"Do you think the mountain wolf will escape tonight, or tomorrow night?" Zhai Zhe was full of interest and was ready to make a bet with Xiao Zhiyan.

Xiao Zhiyan didn't raise his eyelids and said, "Tonight!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"Have you forgotten what I used to do?" Xiao Zhiyan glanced at Zhai Zhe, and again

He took a sip of wine and said, "Your trick is really vicious, if I were a wolf in the mountains, I would fall into the pit you dug!" ”

"The brave horse thieves on this grassland have all died, and all those who can be left in the waves are cautious people, like frightened birds! You scare the mountain wolf like this, where can he stay! ”

Zhai Zhe laughed and said, "Thank you for auspicious words!" ”

The sky slowly darkened, and after the sun set, the wind blew extremely cold, and the occasional sound of tree branches breaking was heard in the mountain forest. Zhai Zhe lay on the snow, and the belly of the big black horse beside him rose and fell with his breathing. At midnight, there was the sound of hurried footsteps on the ground, and Zhai Zhe gestured to the car not far away, asking him not to act rashly.

The cold wind blew through the trees, and the Zhongshan wolf walked in the forefront, covering his head tightly with his fur hat. After thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to flee, more than 500 Mongolian cavalry were not matched by horse thieves. He wanted to take advantage of the cold weather and the freezing of the Yellow River, lead his troops out and Lingel to cross the Yellow River, and then go to Shaanxi, where the people were in turmoil, through the Hetao. I heard that the army and people on the border of Shaanxi rebelled and occupied Hequ City, which was handed over by Shanxi and Shaanxi, and there were many swordsmen and horse bandits from Ningshan in the army, and Gao Yingxiang, whom he knew, was already a big leader.

If the grassland can't squeeze oil and water, go to Daming, where it is more enjoyable to burn and loot, Zhongshan wolf secretly persuaded himself, Daming is in chaos, why stay in the grassland to play?

The Zhongshan wolf on horseback was full of thoughts, urging the war horse to go fast, on the snowy path, it was impossible to go fast, and there would be a road after a few more mountains.

Turning the corner of a mountain, the mountain wolf saw two big trees falling across the road in front of him, just blocking the road.

"Bad luck!" He cursed secretly, thinking that the snow was pressing down and the wind was blowing down the trees, and when he took a few steps closer and looked closely, he felt that something was wrong. The roots of the wind-blown trees would be connected to the dirt, and the two trees in front of them had obviously been cut down and placed here.

As he was looking around, the sound of bowstrings sounded in the mountains and forests on both sides, arrows rained down, and the horse thieves behind him screamed and screamed, and those who fell from the horses with arrows were endless.

"There is an ambush! Rush over! The Zhongshan wolf immediately made a decision and urged the horse to jump over the tree

"Kill!" Hundreds of cavalry in ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides poured out, swords and arrows in unison.

"Han people! The ambush of the Han Chinese! "When the wolf urged the horse to run, his mind was a mess. The Mongols and the Han fought very differently, and he knew that it was the Han who were in ambush, but he couldn't figure out when the Tumuts began to recruit Han cavalry.

In the narrow mountain road, the war horse could not gallop at all, and the horse thieves who were in a hurry to kick the horse and gallop wildly were crowded together, and the person who fell turned on his back.

On the wide part of the road in front of him, Meng Kang had been waiting for a long time with a plate axe.
