Tong Tao definitely didn't dare to stay alone in the Autumn Wind Forest, even if he was angry again, he had to travel with the army at night. It's the same with caravans.

A group of people walked out of the autumn wind forest with the night.

"Huhuhu......"

The cold wind is howling and the snow is falling.

Except for the lanterns that led the way, all the officers and men of the whole army were dyed white by the wind and snow.

The march reached the third watch, and the soldiers and horses were indeed tired.

Song Che picked a relatively leeward low slope and let the whole army rest for two quarters of an hour.

"The spirits are enough, all of them cheer me up, in the ice and snow, there may be a wolf hiding at any time!"

Bao Dayou spurred his horse and personally ran back and forth in the team.

Song Che went up to the top of the hill alone, although it was cold from the heights, he still liked the feeling of standing on the heights and looking at everything, although the visibility in this cold night was pitiful.

He held up his binoculars and inspected his surroundings intently.

Maybe I'm worried about it?

Maybe you shouldn't kill that little one, maybe you can ask for something.

Looking at it, the more I became more and more distracted.

Until there was a rustling ...... sound behind him.

Song Che suddenly felt a chill in his back, this was by no means a cold wind, but a blade.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned back sharply, only to see a man in black covered in snow, stabbing at him with a dagger.

He instinctively dodged backwards, but the man's dagger was too fast!

It's over!

Can't hide!

Just as the blade was about to plunge into his throat.

"Poof!"

A sword pierced the chest of the man in black! The man in black's eyes burst out, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on Song Che's mask!

"Poof!"

The sword was drawn, the man in black fell to the ground, and a beautiful face appeared in front of him, although she was a young woman, her movements and skills were not inferior to that of a woman

Song Che didn't have time to thank him, and shouted down the hill:

"There's a night attack!"

Dead night, sudden hustle and bustle!

Seventy or eighty men in black jumped up from the snow on both sides of the road, lit a torch with their hands, shouted wah-wah-wah-wah, and quickly charged towards the team.

"Musketeers!"

Jiang Yuntian rode his horse and shouted.

The one hundred and fifty musketeers who had already been arranged by Song Che next to the baggage were neatly lined up on the left and right, kneeling on one knee and raising their guns to aim.

"Launch!"

Jiang Yuntian gave an order.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The guns roared like thunder and resounded throughout the snowy night.

In an instant, half of the eighty would-be pirates fell.

The momentum of the charge also vanished with fear!

"Reload!"

The musketeers quickly refilled with ammunition.

"Launch!"

After the second round of shooting, there were only a dozen or so people left.

The Japanese lost their momentum and turned and fled into the snow.

"Hunt down!"

Jiang Yuntian and Bao Dayou each led a cavalry to pursue the Japanese from the left and right flanks.

Two legs naturally can't outrun four legs, and tonight's total annihilation of the Japanese is a foregone conclusion.

Song Che saw that the defensive counterattack was successful, so he sighed the breath held in his heart, looked at the blood-stained corpse under his feet, and then looked up at the white-headed Ning Nuxia, his gratitude was beyond words.

He was just a little bit closer, and he had to leave this world and lose everything.

"If you look like this, everyone knows they want to kill you first." Ning Yehong brushed the fine snow stuck between her hair and smiled at Song Che.

Song Che turned his back and lowered his voice: "I didn't expect Mrs. Chu to have such skills, thank you for saving me today." ”

"That's a big favor."

"Hmmm......"

"It's you, right? It's you, right? ”

Ning Yehong asked side by side, winking at Song Che.

Song Che took a step forward, "Bai doesn't know what Mrs. Chu is talking about. ”

Ning Yehong's bright eyes kept spinning, and she also circled around Song Che, "Covering your face with a mask is the lowest means, you also have to change your voice, change your posture, change your eyes, and change your way of speaking...... If you want to learn, you can take me as a teacher, I have studied the science of disguise. ”

It's also said that in front of a woman who is good at disguise, a mask really can't hide anything.

"Still don't admit it? Then look at this. ”

Ning Yehong took out a pair of binoculars from his sleeve and handed it to Song Che.

The telescopes are made of white jade building, except for the different patterns, the style is exactly the same, this blue and white tube is given in the past in Hangzhou Ciyin Temple.

"And your musket team, don't forget, I'm the first person besides you to witness its birth."

Ning Yehong tilted her head, opened her eyes wide, and looked up at Song Che from bottom to top, with a hint of playfulness in her gentleness: "Aunt Song......"

Song Che sighed: "Yes, so what? ”

"Haha!" Ning Yehong laughed from the bottom of her heart, "You really came, I knew that you would not live in a corner, deep down in your heart you still have the world in mind." ”

"Call me Mr. Bai," Song Che paused, looked at Ning Yehong seriously, and added, "Mrs. Chu." ”

"According to you...... Then don't you want to know, why did I become 'Mrs. Chu'? ”

Ning Yehong asked with a smile.

Song Che was puzzled:

"You can be a woman who kills people without blinking, or you can be an oiran who accompanies people, and now you are Mrs. Chu, most of the things you need in that man, just like when you used beauty tricks to tempt me, you have too many identities, even if I guess this one, maybe there will be the next one in a blink of an eye, I am not as smart as you think, and I am not as generous as you think."

With that, he strode down the hill.

Ning Yehong's smile brought by the reunion one moment was like ice and snow frozen on her face the next moment, for a long time, until the snow turned white, the smile completely disappeared, and there was only endless sadness in her eyes.

……

Originally, Song Che was still worried about the power of the musket, but he didn't expect to be powerful in the first actual battle.

Of the eighty-one Japanese who were killed by pursuit, most of the remaining sixty-eight were killed by a single shot, and even if they were not dead, they were incapacitated.

Song Che asked the army to reconnoiter in the nearby snow to confirm that there were no remnants of the Japanese invaders, and then continued to set off.

In the wee hours of the morning, the wind and snow gradually stopped.

The sky has just broken at dawn, and Yancheng has come into view.

Under the half-light and half-dark sky, groups of soldiers were limping and supporting each other to retreat towards Yancheng from the southeast. With a bloodstained face and an exhausted appearance, you don't have to think about it to know that you have lost the battle.

Gradually, there were more and more soldiers who were defeated and returned, and there were four or five thousand to say the least.

"Hey, brother, which army are you from?" Jiang Yuntian stepped down and stopped a soldier.

The soldier replied weakly: "Huainan Sailor ......"

"Sailor?" Jiang Yuntian was puzzled: "Shouldn't land battles be attacked by horse infantry?" ”

The soldier shook his head: "They just lost yesterday, and they rotate ...... today."

No wonder they are depressed and take turns to defeat the battle, who can withstand it?

"Brother, you resist it, our Yangzhou army has come to help!" Jiang Yuntian was full of enthusiasm and clenched his fists to encourage.

The soldier just glanced at the team, forced a smile, said "oh", and left with a sullen head.

Jiang Yuntian smiled bitterly: "It seems that they urgently need a victory to boost their morale." ”

Song Che glanced at Yancheng, who was immersed in the dawn, and said with a smile:

"Go to the city, have breakfast."
