When there were only more than ten people left in the team, Zhang Zai deeply felt despair. The heart hanging in his throat seemed to pop out of his mouth.

This is not only because there are no one on his side, and there is a Khitan elite cavalry of more than 200 people behind him, but also because on the grassy slope in front of him, he suddenly rushed down and suppressed a group of cavalry.

After Niu Dan and others broke off one after another, although their courage was commendable, the Khitan Jingqi was not a fool. In the end, they had too few people, and the Khitan cavalry only needed to divide a part of them to meet them head-on each time, and the cavalry on both sides could continue to pursue without much hindrance.

Niu Dan and others have no way at all.

Zhang Zai heard the roar of the second dog.

In the face of such a situation, more than ten people have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, even if they are all scattered and escaped, they can only be broken one by one.

This time, Zhang Zai successfully pulled out the horizontal knife, but his hand was still shaking violently. In his state, if a miracle doesn't happen, I'm afraid he won't be able to kill or hurt anyone, and the biggest result is that he will die in front of him.

However, in the current situation, whether or not one or two Khitans can be hacked to death has no impact on the overall situation. This ranger who discovered the location of the Khitan army could only be wiped out in the end.

The military information obtained by hard work and good fortune is also destined to be unable to be known to the defenders of Beikou.

"Kill!" the two dogs roared with a red face, and the bruises on their necks protruded.

Although he is a new recruit, this mission is the first time to fight the enemy, but the preparation he has made for this moment is far from being comparable to Zhang Zaineng. The sweat he sheds on weekdays and the training he endures allows him to behave like a qualified fighter.

"Kill!" the rest of the soldiers shouted at the same time, their faces hideous. When the matter comes, even if the border soldiers die in battle, they will not lose their dignity.

Zhang Zai, Liu Dahe and other three Confucian scholars were stimulated by the bloody spirit of their comrades, and their hearts were much less timid. The resolute backs of Niu Dan and the others after the break appeared in their minds, and their eyes gradually turned red, even if their bodies trembled more violently because of fear and nervousness, but there was also a bit of excitement in it.

At least, at this moment, no one pees their pants anymore.

The Khitan cavalry that rushed down from the grassy slope was about to face them head-to-head, but this team suddenly split into two groups, ran left and right to the two wings, and made way for Ergouzi and the others to open the passage in the middle.

The eyes of the two dogs, who have not yet reached the age of the crown, are glazed.

There are about 300 people on the other side, and there are only more than ten of them, and under the hedge, they can't penetrate into the opponent's formation, and they will all be hacked to death. With such a huge disparity in power, why should the other side avoid its edge?

Do you want to choose another tactic?

There is no need at all.

Young, but definitely not stupid, he can be called the most clever second dog in this team, and he found the clue with just two eyes.

The team of the Khitan cavalry rode not scout fast horses, nor fine horses, but the most common ponies. They wore leather armor made of animal skins, the style was not uniform, the swords and bows in their hands were even better, and the warriors were tall and thin.

This is an ordinary Khitan tribal cavalry, and it is not from any big tribe.

But if you only see these, the second dog will not be confused.

What surprised him was that the people who were the leaders of this Khitan cavalry turned out to be several monks and Taoists wearing monk's robes and robes!

It was they who led the team, divided into two groups, ran from a safe distance next to Ergouzi and the others, and rushed behind them.

The second dog turned his head suddenly, and the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded!

Not only him, Zhang Zai and others were also dumbfounded.

The Khitan cavalry that rushed past them, led by several monks and humanitarians, launched a brave and fanatical attack on the Khitan elite cavalry that pursued them!

The natural combat power of the Khitan elite cavalry is extraordinary, and it is not comparable to the warriors of ordinary small grassland tribes, but they could never have imagined that this group of Khitan cavalry, which is obviously the face of the grassland people and not the pretending of the Tang people, would suddenly attack them.

By surprise, the Khitan elite cavalry was hit by a blow, and the front was quickly disrupted. When the people turned over on their backs, the screams came and went, and one after another the elite cavalry soldiers fell off their horses.

They die without understanding why their companions are attacking them.

Those monks and Taoists have good strength, even though they are not real masters, but they are enough to face some centurions, and they take the lead in rushing into the Khitan elite cavalry array, and it is difficult for their subordinates to have a three-in-one enemy.

The Khitans began to kill each other for no reason, and Ergouzi, Zhang Zai and others were surprised and surprised, and they all slowed down their horses. However, the second dog did not let his companions act rashly, but just turned the horse's head and watched them fight.

His smart head, which has been praised many times by all cow eggs, has been thinking about it for a long time at this time, but he has not come up with a reason.

The battle of hundreds of cavalry soon came to an end, and the Khitan elite cavalry decisively chose to retreat and flee when more than half of the casualties were lost. Although their mouths were screaming and cursing, they did not look back.

It wasn't until the Khitan tribal cavalry began to clean up the battlefield, pick up their spoils, and cheer loudly, talking and laughing loudly, that Ergouzi, Zhang Zai and others were convinced that they had really picked up a life.

And what saved them turned out to be a group of Khitans.

A monk rode a horse to the second dog and the other horses, and greeted them with a smile. Of the monks, they were the only ones with Han Chinese faces.

The second dog dismounts and returns the salute, at this point, he doesn't need to be on guard everywhere, if the other party wants to kill them, it is simply easy, "Today's grace of saving each other, it is unforgettable in the next toothless, and the border army in the north will be grateful for the two kindnesses!"

The Taoist stroked his beard and smiled: "The little general doesn't have to be polite, everyone is doing things for the dynasty, regardless of you and me." ”

The monk folded his hands and said compassionately: "It is also fate to be able to meet you today, the little general and others think that they have received our favor, but in fact, in the eyes of the poor monks, this is not our blessing, so there is no need to say thank you." ”

The second dog disturbed his head, and the other party's words made the second monk puzzled and couldn't understand it for a while.

Zhang Zai and the others also stepped forward to salute, and saw that the two dogs couldn't communicate well with each other verbally, so they took over the conversation, "The two masters, presumably from the Voidless Liberation Gate and the Quanzhen Concept?"

Seeing Zhang Zai, the monks and Taoists were a little surprised, probably wondering, how could there be Confucian students in the army. Although the other party is dressed in armor, ordinary people may not be able to see the demeanor of the literary master, but they can be recognized at a glance.

"Exactly. ”

The middle-aged Taoist said with a smile, "Wukong Shimen and Quanzhen Guan were ordered by the king to preach and preach outside the territory, and gather strength to contribute to the great cause of our dynasty. Recently, fierce battles have been raging on the border, and we have also taken the opportunity to gather our respective believers to hunt and kill the Khitan scouts here. ”

The monk sighed sadly and said, "It's a pity that the Khitan has a tight control over the grassland, and Yelu Abaoji is well aware of the situation of the Void Liberation Gate and the Quanzhen Concept, so he is very protective of us, and our actions on the grassland are not very smooth."

"Today, there is no emptiness to release the door and the concept of Quanzhen, and it is impossible to penetrate the Khitan magnates, so they can only look for those small tribes on the grassland. ”

Zhang Zai nodded again and again.

Without waiting for him to speak, the middle-aged Taoist continued: "Fortunately, the grassland is vast, the land is vast and sparsely populated, not to mention that there are many small tribes, and many herdsmen and even families live together, so there are still many places where we can do something. ”

The monk said: "Now that the war has begun, Yelu Abaoji's attention is on the battlefield, and his control over the small tribes of the grassland is much weaker, so we have a great opportunity to develop more believers." ”

The middle-aged Taoist said: "Yelu Abaoji looks down on the power of the small tribe. They are poor and weak, not to mention that a tribe may not be able to make even a complete pair of iron armor, and many arrows are bone arrowheads. When Yelu Abao ordered troops, he didn't bother to bring them.

But for the Voidless Buddha and the Pure Truth, these poor and weak people happen to be the easiest targets for our believers. ”

The monk said: "Although their strength is weak, as long as they are gathered, they can still be useful. In a team like the one in front of me, I don't know how many of them have been organized. Although it does not have the ability to compete with the Khitan army, it is still possible to cooperate with the imperial border army. ”

"In the steppe, the tribe is the only destination for the shepherds. Although Yelu Abaoji was the king, except for his descendant army and the Khitan headquarters, the herdsmen in the vast grasslands, especially the small tribes and scattered herdsmen, did not have much loyalty to him. With the power of religion, they can easily be used by me. ”

Speaking of this, the monk finally smiled, "Just like now. ”

Ergouzi was already confused, like an ignorant child, and he had completely listened to the book of heaven.

Although he was clever, his knowledge was too limited, and he was at a level where he could not reach the Buddha Gate and the Dao Gate, so he could not understand these words and the great meaning behind them.

Zhang Zai was fascinated by what he heard.

Gradually, his blood began to boil again.

However, the monk in front of him, speaking like a double reed, did not give him a chance to speak at all, which made him a little uncomfortable and felt indescribably weird.

Shimen and Daomen have always been opponents, who looks at no one is pleasing to the eye, fighting on the rivers and lakes in peacetime, and being involved in the torrent of great disputes when the world is in turmoil, and you will not stop if you don't fight to the death.

But now, the monks and Taoists get along exceptionally well.

is so harmonious that the two low-level monks can act together and fight together, and the words are perfectly coordinated, so that Zhang Zai, a Confucian handsome, can't interject into the words.

While everyone was talking, a young Taoist ran over and said something to the middle-aged Taoist. After hearing this, the middle-aged Taoist smiled and said to Ergouzi: "Our companions, in the place where you came, saved some border soldiers. ”

The soldiers of the border army who were rescued were Niu Dan and others.

After more than forty people turned around to kill the enemy, they spread their feet and fled, attracting the Khitan elite cavalry to pursue the soldiers, and when they were rescued by the Wukong Liberation Gate and the Quanzhen Temple, there were only four people left.

The cow egg was not lightly injured, but it was still able to ride a horse.

When the remaining Niu Dan and others returned, they hugged their colleagues excitedly, and everyone thanked the monks and Taoists again, and then embarked on the way home.

It is important to send back the military intelligence.

When he turned back in the galloping procession, he saw the Khitan tribal cavalry that disappeared behind the grassy slope under the leadership of several monks and Taoists, and Zhang Zai's heart was agitated.

No, those people, not Khitan tribal cavalry.

They should be called steppe tribal cavalry.

Although the steppe is now under Khitan rule, they are not the shepherds of the Khitan Eight Tribes.

Shock is Zhang Zai's biggest emotion now.

Shimen and Daomen have found their place in this reviving dynasty. And began to work in this position, according to the will of King An, to win their own glory and glory.

For example, today, they saved their own team of rangers, so that the military report that would affect the battle situation in Beikou, Danzhou, and even the entire Youzhou battle situation could be transmitted back to the border in time.

Today's Datang is a hard-working Datang.

Zhang Zai felt that time was running out, and he felt that it was an urgent need to make contributions.

There is not much time left for the Confucian sect in Yangzhou.

Thinking of his unbearable performance on this trip, Zhang Zai was ashamed and angry.

After returning to Beikou Guancheng, Niu Danzi went to the commander of the capital to report the military situation, while Zhang Zai himself talked with Zhang Qishen all night. No one knew what they were talking about, but the next morning, the soldiers were surprised to find that those delicate soldiers had risen earlier than them and practiced their battlefield skills even harder than them.

The most important thing is that the eyes of these Confucian scholars and their attitude towards them have not been the self-assured and high-minded overlooking meaning of the past, but equal friendship.

In equality, there is also respect and admiration.

In particular, when I asked them about the army, I was more serious and pious than ordinary recruits.
