The tide was surging and constantly lapping against the riverbank.

The once hard rocks have not resisted the erosion of the past and have been washed out of a narrow channel.

Zhang Shun looked at the Han River in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into the old scene: "Are you back here again?"

"That's right. I thought I would stay away from this place from now on, but I didn't expect to come back here in the blink of an eye. Zhang Gui was also touched, and looked up at the small villa at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

That's where they lived, and that's where they grew up.

"Now that we're back in this place, let's start over here. Perhaps, this is fate. Zhang Shun took a long breath and let out a whistling sound.

The whistling sound was not loud, and it was soon swallowed up by the sound of the waves, but Zhang Shun felt extremely happy, after all, he did not come back empty-handed this time, but came back with a big gift.

The war horse under his crotch was a little anxious, and Zhang Gui felt his blood begin to boil: "That's right." Now that you're back here, let's start over. In the end, with some worry, he complained: "I just don't know if there is any poison from the Tartars here." ”

As far as the current situation is concerned, he is really afraid that this will happen.

"Anyway, let's go ahead and talk about it. ”

Zhang Shun slapped the war horse, including this Zhang Gui and dozens of people behind him, rushed down the hillside and ran towards the mountain villa in the distance.

About less than a mile away from the villa, Zhang Shun reined in his war horse, pointed to the messy horseshoe prints on the ground, and said with a worried look: "It seems that those Yuan troops have really discovered here." ”

Although he had expected it, he was still annoyed when he actually saw it.

These Tartars are really doing all kinds of evil!

"Then kill them?" Zhang Gui said fiercely, his face looking much more hideous.

Just by looking at the horseshoe prints, they could tell that the number of the other party was not large, at best, there were only about a dozen people, and relying on the dozens of people they brought along the way, they could naturally annihilate them.

Zhang Shun nodded and said, "That's nature." These Tartars have bullied us, so of course we have to show them how good we are. He quickly took off the gun he was carrying behind him, and shouted to the comrades who followed: "Everyone listen to my orders and draw their guns." ”

There was a bang, and everyone took off their guns and looked ready for battle.

Among the group of men and horses they brought, some of them were comrades-in-arms in the Huaxia army, who followed the two out of their desire for war, and the other part were righteous soldiers recruited along the road, gathered for the same goal.

Now that they see that the Tartar is in front of them, these people are also beginning to can't hold back the boiling blood, and plan to start giving each other a ruthless blow.

In the distance, the Tartars, who had just returned from plunder, also came out of the village, holding livestock such as chickens, ducks, and fish, and even several wagons filled with freshly collected grain.

"Kill!"

The crisp sound of gunfire announced the action, and the group all unfolded, firing bullets at each other.

These Tartars were still immersed in the pleasure of harvest, and they were not prepared for the sudden attack, and half of them were dead in the blink of an eye, and although the remaining half of them reacted, they did not wait to take out their guns, and they were also hit by the vital points of the body, and fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the marauding Tartars fell to the ground, paying for their previous crimes.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that the Tartars who were still committing the murder just now fell to the ground one after another, the people in the village were also nervous and couldn't figure out the situation.

"Put away the gun!"

Zhang Shun waved his hand and asked everyone to take back the guns, while he urged the war horse under his crotch to enter the village.

The village was not very large, at best there were about a thousand people, and at this moment they all came out of their houses, and came to the square where the grass was taught, and watched with curiosity as everyone walked into the village, and the leader of them was an old man in his sixties, less than five feet tall, with a rickety back.

The old man saw Zhang Shun coming in, and before he could look up and see the person coming clearly, he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Thank you for your help, the little one is for the adults. ”

"Zhang Sanbo. The corners of Zhang Shun's mouth cracked, and he smiled: "Have you forgotten me? I am the black tower of your fourth brother's family." ”

The old man was stunned, and raised his head suddenly, and then the person who recognized it: "Are you the Black Tower?" Turning his eyes, he saw that Zhang Gui was also among them, and he was immediately happy: "Isn't this a dwarf winter melon? I didn't expect you two to come back." It's just that I didn't hear you say that you went to Junzhou, why did you come back again?"

"This, mainly because of some unavoidable factors, is back. ”

Zhang Shun coped with the past vaguely, the task of his trip was closely related, and he could not say anything.

Zhang Gui also asked, "By the way, what is the matter with these Tartars, why did they find this place?"

The village where they are located is not far from Xiangyang, and there are often patrols by the Song army on weekdays, and now these Tartars appear here, which only means one thing.

"Alas. Isn't it because we didn't honor the black charcoal army?" Zhang Lao sighed, and then told the truth of the matter.

According to the regulations of Xiangyang, if you want to be protected, you must offer enough food, but their village is not big, and it is difficult to meet the food they produce, so how to free up excess food to supply Xiangyang, especially when the Yuan army attacked, the black charcoal required to supply more than one day a day.

After a few times of this situation, of course, their village could not bear it, so they had to give up continuing to supply.

As a result, the Black Carbon Army also withdrew, giving up on continuing to protect the village.

And those Tartars also pounced on the village like wolves that smelled fishy, intending to ransack the village.

This caused the scene that Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui saw before.

After listening, Zhang Shun thought for a while, and said in his mouth: "So that's the case?"

"The defenders of Xiangyang are also really wretched, and they actually gave us directly to the Tartars like this. Are they still human?" Zhang Gui also opened his mouth and scolded, they had long been clear about the urine nature of the Xiangyang defenders, otherwise why would they follow Zhang Wei to the Huaxia army in the first place?

"Alas. They are officers and soldiers, and it is good that they didn't rob them. ”

Zhang Lao was glad and said with a smile: "And aren't you two also back?" I believe that as long as you two come back, we will definitely not be bullied by those Tartars in the future." ”

Just looking at the previous scene, Zhang Lao understood that Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui were now considered to be shotguns, not only equipped with the legendary guns, but also with many loyal subordinates.

He didn't want the two of them to be able to make a difference, as long as they could protect the entire village from the Tartars, bandits, and officials.

Rest, it doesn't matter.
