Chapter 013: Less Victory, More Jia Congchu's Meritorious Service

On the plateau in late autumn, the sun is still hot.

It's noon.

Forty or fifty sergeants in light armor sat or lay down, quietly hiding behind a sheltered hill to eat, salted bread with water, and everyone still ate with relish.

The leader is a young general with a delicate face, and he is also very alert when he rests and eats.

It is none other than our protagonist Jia Cong.

"Hey......"

"Why are the Tatars going south, now we have been patrolling for more than ten days in a row, and we haven't even seen a ghost, it's really unlucky!"

Among the four brothers, the second eldest He Nan couldn't help muttering a few words because of his meritorious service.

"If you did, you wouldn't think so."

The thin sergeant said with a smile: "In the past, the Tatars went south to plunder, and each team had at least two hundred households (equivalent to one hundred households in the Ming Dynasty). ”

He Nan was silent for a moment.

The Tatars are nomadic people who live in pursuit of water and grass, they have grown up on horseback since childhood, and they are skilled in each bow and horse, and they have the advantage of numbers, and these forty or fifty people in their own family are really not enough to see.

Seeing He Nan's head hanging down after being hit, the previous sergeant smiled "hehe", turned around and changed his position to lie down.

It's rare to have a little rest time after lunch, but you can't waste it!

The surroundings slowly fell silent.

……

It didn't take long.

"There are enemies!"

On the top of the hill, He Xi, who was in charge of the sentry, suddenly exclaimed.

"What?!"

The crowd in a state of false sleep suddenly woke up.

The two sergeants with good eyesight quickly jumped to the top of the hill more than three feet high, and looked in the direction of Ho Xi's finger, and the next moment, both of them were a spirit, "It's a Tatar!" ”

"All the soldiers are on the horse!"

Jia Cong immediately shouted and asked, "What is the number of enemy troops?" How far away are we? ”

"The enemy army is still more than four miles away from us, and it is blocked by hills in the middle, so it is impossible to determine the number of people, but looking at the smoke and dust raised by the enemy army, there must be at least four hundred households!" A sergeant on top replied.

Jia Cong's brow furrowed.

More than 400 Tatar cavalry, this is not a small force!

"Determine the direction of the Tatar cavalry, let's avoid them first," Jia Cong ordered, "He Dong and He Bei, you two quickly go back and report to the commander-in-chief, and the others will join me to keep an eye on the movements of the Tatar cavalry!" ”

"Obey!"

All the sergeants received the order together, and He Bei looked at Jia Cong and wanted to say something, but was pulled away by the boss He Dong.

The commander of the troops is outside, and Jia Cong's words are military orders, which cannot be refuted.

……

Not to mention He Dong and He Bei, the two hurried back to Datong to report the news.

Jia Cong and the others stayed far behind the Tatar cavalry, and followed them all the way south, heading straight in the direction of the Great Wall.

Half an hour later.

Looking at the Great Wall in front of him, Jia Cong's heart moved.

"Will you, brethren, make a fortune with me?"

“??”

The sudden words made all the sergeants puzzled.

Jia Cong pointed to the Great Wall in front of him and explained: "If the Tatar cavalry wants to enter the territory of our Great Cadre to plunder, they must cross the Great Wall.

No matter how bad it is, there will be dozens of heads in the account this time, and if you are lucky, it will not be a great achievement to meet a centurion who stays behind? ”

Everyone was suddenly a little moved.

According to the "Great Cadre Law", those who kill one enemy in battle will be promoted to one level and promoted to three levels in a row (single); Those who do not want to be promoted can be exchanged for thirty taels of silver for each head.

They all came out to join the army to earn their lives, who doesn't want to have a rich future?

Ideas, done!

"We all listen to the general, what you tell us to do, we will do!"

Hearing this, Jia Cong smiled and said, "In this case, then I will take the brothers to have a game today!" ”

Between words.

The Tatar cavalry in front had already reached the foot of the Great Wall, and they were skilled in finding the weak points of the wall, and then quickly digging a gap with the hoes they carried with them.

More than 400 Tatar cavalry slowly entered along the gap.

See when the time is ripe.

Jia Cong immediately gave an order, and the cavalry who had already quietly touched the vicinity quickly rushed out and charged towards the remaining Tatar cavalry in front.

"Kick and kick!"

"Kick and kick!"

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves came in an instant.

The slender blade reflected the afternoon sun, stirring up a fluffy blood mist in the dazzling light, causing the unprepared Tatar cavalry to fall directly into a large area.

The next moment.

The sound of the impact of flesh and blood, the "snort" sound of sharp weapons cutting through flesh and blood, and the hoarse screams of the injured turned the originally peaceful foot of the Great Wall into a hell on earth.

More than forty light cavalry, like sharp arrows, rushed through the chaotic Tatar cavalry.

Immediately after, the crowd turned their horses' heads and charged back again......

The hasty counterattack of the Tatar cavalry also knocked down several large cavalry, but it was no longer helpful.

In just one round trip, the more than 100 Tatar cavalry who had not yet crossed the Great Wall were gone, and the remaining dozens were also frightened, and they scattered in a hurry......

Let's talk about the other side.

In the face of the surprise attack of Jia Cong and his party, although the Tatar cavalry who had already crossed the Great Wall had the intention to support, in a panic, the gap in the city wall had already become a pot of paste.

I can't get over it at all!

Thinking of using bows and arrows to support, he was blocked by the tall city wall, and there were arrows passing through the gap, but for the large cavalry that charged back and forth, the threat was pitiful.

Time flies in the blink of an eye.

Let these Tatar cavalry jump to their feet in a hurry, but they can only see through the gap in the city wall, watching the death and surrender in the rear, but they can't help at all.

That kind of helplessness almost blew them up!

And just when Jia Cong was about to take people away first, a Tatar centurion was impulsive, and actually took his subordinates and turned back again!

Jia Cong's eyes lit up.

I didn't dare to think that the living military exploits were actually sent to the door by myself!!

The cavalry was overjoyed, hurriedly turned their horses' heads, and made another crisp and neat charge, so that the Tatar centurion, who had not yet gained a firm foothold, directly settled the account.

There was a dead silence on the other side!

Jia Cong led people to guard for a while.

Seeing that the group of Tatar cavalry had no intention of turning back at all, Jia Cong had no choice but to lead people away with disappointment......

So far.

Of the more than 400 Tatar cavalry, the number of those killed was not even 200.

With such a small number of troops, it is naturally impossible to continue to go south, so the only remaining centurion hesitated for a moment, and decided to retreat outside the pass for the time being.

In order to prevent it from being blocked again, the centurion waited for a while longer, and only when there was no movement on the other side before he ordered to climb over the wall.

It's just that he never expected it.

The team of nearly 200 people had barely turned back when the familiar sound of horses' hooves sounded again in the distance.

It's still the same routine as before.

Draw the knife, charge, swing the knife, turn around, and charge again......

Now the green mountains are gone!

As the centurion was beheaded by Jia Cong, the remaining Tatar cavalry no longer had the courage to resist, and knelt on the ground one by one, raising their sabers above their heads with both heads, with unconcealed panic and grief on their faces......
