Long Gang glanced at Chen Lu and didn't say anything, he had already understood the deputy envoy of the imperial court, and then he checked the terrain.

The granary is on a high place, and the enemy will run to the side of the official army, because this side is the official road, and it is also the only way for these Warat soldiers to pass. It's just that the terrain that Long Gang is in is too low, and he will definitely suffer a big loss when he fights. As soon as Long wanted to go to a high place, he was afraid that they would run away here.

At this time, the thieves had already discovered them, and a few people came out to observe for a while, and then walked in again. Long Gang decisively ordered Hu Chun to lead a general flag around the back to ambush at a high place, and he himself took a general flag to choose the terrain, prepare firecrackers and chain crossbows, and let Han Liu'er invite Chen Lu to the back.

Chen Lu didn't refuse, and consciously stepped back ten feet away, observing the other party. He knew very well that he didn't understand military affairs, and he pointed fingers at the position, affecting Long Gang's judgment. Long Gang didn't know him very well, and he was a civil official standing at the forefront, which would definitely distract Long Gang.

After a while, a group of Mongol soldiers ran out of it, and bowed down on the hillside, bows and arrows, waiting for the order to fight.

Followed by several Mongols with helmets and armor, shouted in Mongolian: "We are just borrowing food, we don't want to kill, don't look for trouble, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." ”

Long Gang also replied in Mongolian: "You have always had a good relationship with the imperial court, why are you here to kill people and steal grain?"

"It was the prince who sent us. As for why, we don't know, and we don't inquire, just do the prince's errand. I think the prince can't help it, he can't open the pot, and the prince's mansion is out of food. We'll ship these back first, and then we'll give them back to you when we've collected the grain and grass. Now get out of the way, and we will not make it difficult for you. ”

Long Gang ran to Chen Lu's side and reported: "It's a soldier of the loyal king Mahamu, what should I do?"

Chen Lu has been thinking about this problem, Mahamu has always been very deferential to the imperial court, and the saint named him the king of loyalty, and set up horse markets with each other, friendly exchanges, how could he do this?

However, the Tatar Benjamin has always been unable to get along with the imperial court, and has fought several battles, and it is said that this time the royal expedition is because this Tatar is too jumpy, and it is not known whether the Tatar is to blame.

Chen Lu said to Long Gang: "It doesn't have to be the King of Zhongshun. Long Gang, there is nothing to do at this time. If they want to break in, you just say hello, you are the boss, you have the final say. ”

At this time, more than 200 Mongol soldiers rushed down the hillside. It was all infantry, and needless to say, the horses were used to carry food. They were obviously taken aback when they saw these soldiers here, and they received information that there was no garrison in Kanhe Town.

More than 200 of them formed a peony formation and charged downward, the distance between the queues was too large, and more than 200 people were scattered in a phalanx more than two miles wide, and the crops were basically leveled.

Long Gang knew that the other party was a general who had been in battle for a long time, and in such a formation, it was difficult for the chain crossbow and firecracker to play a role, and they must have found that there were not many troops on this side, otherwise they would be immediately defeated by a counter-charge.

The thieves gave an order and began to shoot arrows, shooting as they went, and they marched noisily, and some of the soldiers of the mission were shot, the distance was too far, and the injuries were not serious. This is just like what is usually said, the end of the strong crossbow does not wear through Lu Min.

Long Gang observed, saw that it was enough to shoot the arrow, and ordered the arrow to be released, and a rain of arrows hit several people. The thieves retreated and stood there on standby.

Another group of men and horses attacked the hillside, and they had already spotted the ambush behind them. But this group of officers and soldiers occupied the favorable terrain, and with a rain of arrows, the thieves retreated. It's just a small test to see if it's in line with your own judgment.

When the thieves found that the officers and soldiers really had such a small number of troops, they were relieved and fearless, gave up the attack behind them, and released their vigilance. The intention was very obvious, to stop the officers and soldiers, not to stab them in the back, they attacked with all their strength to seize the way.

Chen Lu counted the time, an hour had passed, if it went well, there would be half an hour for reinforcements from the Thousand Households to arrive. So he sent one of his own soldiers back to the camp, and if the soldiers of the thousand households arrived, he would bring them here. The soldiers took the order and left.

The attacking thieves arrived at the place of a stone's throw again, this time Long Gang gave the order, using a chain crossbow, and put down dozens of people at once, but these thieves did not stop, and kept attacking and saw the range. Long Gang gave an order, the crossbowmen retreated and loaded their arrows, and more than 20 firebolts shot at bursts, and the thieves fell again.

The earth-shattering sound startled the thieves, and they quickly retreated and fell to the ground.

The thief officer waved the flag, and the team on the hillside immediately split half and pressed towards Long Gang. Long Gang is not in a hurry, let everyone load lead bullets, as long as they are dragged down, they don't have to play with them.

The thieves obviously saw Long Gang's intentions, and they couldn't afford to delay it, so they ordered a strong attack. The thieves stepped forward one after another, stepping on the corpses of their companions and continuing to advance, followed by a team of overseers who killed several retreating thieves, who rushed towards the official positions with a roar.

As soon as Long Gang waved his flag at Hu Chun on the slope, the officers and soldiers on the slope suddenly rushed down and fired at those thieves with firearms. The terrain of the officers and soldiers was favorable, and the thieves could not resist it, so they quickly withdrew into the granary compound.

The officers and soldiers on the slope retreated and crouched there to monitor the compound. The thieves below were affected and retreated to a stone's throw away.

After about a quarter of an hour, another group of thieves rushed out of the granary compound and divided into two teams, one team released a guard to Hu Chunbu on the slope, and the other team rushed down to join the thieves.

Everyone else led their horses and camels, and there was a long queue outside the compound, with the horses' heads facing the official road. The officers on horseback and wielding knives also appeared outside the courtyard.

Chen Lu saw Yin Ji and the inquisitor Chahan, and they were also dragged out, tied to the back of the carriage. Long Gang obviously saw it too, and looked back, Chen Lu nodded, indicating that he had seen it.

Suddenly, the horn of the thieves whimpered, and the thieves rushed over like a tide, and the convoy began to move, and a group of thieves on the slope still watched Hu Chun's officers and soldiers with bows and arrows.

Long Gang saw that these thieves didn't want to be entangled anymore and wanted to risk breaking through, they already knew that there were few officers and soldiers, even if Long Gang had three heads and six arms, they couldn't stop it.

Long Gang heard Chen Lu shouting to retreat, so he ordered to retreat, and the officers and soldiers withdrew to the trench next to the official road to continue to resist.

These thieves did not give the officers and soldiers a chance to breathe, and followed closely behind. Their goal was very clear, to seize the official road and flee north.

At this critical moment, the reinforcements guarding the Thousand Households arrived. Long Gang looked at it, there were about five hundred or so people, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The officers and troops of the Thousand Households Office rushed over from the flank, and the thieves were terrified, and they were defeated for thousands of miles, and retreated to the granary compound. They must have built fortifications outside the granary because there was no room for so many men and horses and carts in the courtyard.
