As if he heard Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, the next day, which was the eighth day after Zhang Yong led his army to set off, the message that had been interrupted for two days finally came back. However, the ones who came back this time were not Zhang Yong's scouts, but
He is Qian Wubing's guardian.
"The army first fought a fierce battle with the Tatars at Baishan Mountain. Later, under Zhang Tongzong's order, I escorted Qian Baihu and others to leave the army and return!" The captain who came to report had a face covered in dust and fatigue.
I couldn't hide it. Facing the commander-in-chief and the emperor who was sitting on one side with a somewhat gloomy expression, I didn't dare to hide it at all.
"How is the battle going? Did our army win?" Wang Fu frowned. If it were his people below, he would have scolded him long ago. But these are people from the Forbidden Army. The emperor is watching from one side.
He frowned slightly to show his dissatisfaction, and did not do anything else. He just cursed a few times in his heart, saying that the captain did not know the seriousness of the matter.
"Our army won a small victory at first, but after nightfall, the Tatars found so many soldiers and horses from nowhere and attacked our camp. Zhang Tongzhi led the army to fight all night before fighting a bloody road. Now we
The remaining troops, led by Zhang Tongzhi, retreated to Baishan Mountain!"
"Surrounded by Tatars?" Wang Fu's face darkened. Most of the cavalry led by Zhang Yong had to abandon most of their horses if they wanted to go up the mountain. Any wise commander knew that the dismounted cavalry
, then it is worse than a foot soldier. If the situation was not extremely critical, Zhang Yong would definitely not make such a decision.
"What I saw when I left was that the entire Baishan Mountain was completely surrounded. The Tatars were attacking the mountain regardless of casualties!"
"Where is Qian Wu's patient?" Zhu Houzhao's face was also very ugly. After sitting for a while and listening to the news brought by the captain, he asked coldly.
"Qian Baihu had already led everyone out of the camp. Hearing the sound of fighting behind him, he decided to go back and have a look. Later, he encountered Tatar soldiers and horses. The low-level officials could not stop Qian Baihu, so they had to follow his instructions and divide them into
Several people escaped back, and Qian Baihu, if he had escaped the Tatar pursuit and returned to the camp, he should be following the army up the mountain, waiting for the army to come to rescue him!"
Zhu Houzhao remained silent. When Wang Fu saw this, he waved his hand and ordered the captain to retreat.
"Your Majesty, look!"
"Call a few more people to come in and ask clearly!" Zhu Houzhao became calmer for the first time: "These people said they came back to protect Qian Wubing, but they don't even know the traces of Qian Wubing. What they said must be questioned carefully!"
The emperor said Qian Wubing, where is he now?
Qian Wubing was not as brave as the guards who came to report the news imagined. He turned around and rushed into the enemy camp. Leading the dozens of cavalry guards assigned to him by Zhang Yong, Qian Wubing left the camp and headed towards the enemy camp.
Run in the direction.
When the lights of the camp behind became like stars in the sky, the sound of fighting, accompanied by the shaking of the earth, also came from a distance. And in front of their small team, there seemed to be a faint
A lot of people appeared.
Night attack! Qian Wubing's heart skipped a beat. The level of technology involved in stealing a camp was too high. In this era where you can't see anything at night, stealing a camp was simply a legendary thing. But it was such a coincidence.
, Qian Wubing met Qian Wubing, who was experiencing battle for the first time.
The killing was in full swing behind, but the vague and silent figures in front were obviously not here for a walk in the middle of the night. Qian Wubing's first reaction was that he was blocked by the Tatars blocking the army's retreat.
But at the moment, the other party is silent and seems to have not noticed these people yet.
After reining in his horse, Qian Wubing gave some instructions to the unfamiliar guards, ordering them to restrain their voices and try to bypass the Tatars blocking the front from the darkness.
Unfortunately, the vigilance of the Tatars was much higher than Qian Wubing expected. Before they could go far around, the Tatar cavalry noticed the movement, and then there was a strange roar, and a group of hundreds of
The people's cavalry came towards them.
The guards kept their duties firmly in mind and protected Qian Wubing's mount in the middle. They rushed towards the uninhabited side in a hurry. Their actions immediately attracted the attention of the Tatars. These Ming soldiers were acting like this.
The people in the middle were closely guarding each other. The people in the middle must be important figures in the Ming army. When the Tatars thought of this possibility, they became even more energetic. For a while, strange screams were heard in the darkness.
This is not a thing!
Qian Wubing also realized this. If people like him were bitten by the Tatars like this, it would be difficult for them to escape from the clutches of the Tatars. As he ran all the way, Qian Wubing decisively divided the people like him into two.
and ordered all the people, no matter who escaped, to report the situation here immediately to the commander of the army in Datong.
The small number of dozens of men and horses divided into two groups and fled in different directions. The Tatar cavalry who were following them also divided into two groups without hesitation and bit them hard.
Seeing that he could not escape their pursuit, Qian Wubing gritted his teeth and divided the people around him into two groups again, thus attracting some of the pursuers. It has to be said that if there were enough people around Qian Wubing
, after several separations like this, the number of pursuers who were chasing after him would definitely decrease exponentially. Unfortunately, there were only so many people around him. After several separations, he suddenly discovered
, although there were only a few dozen pursuers behind him, there were only two cavalry guards around him.
There was a loud sound of bowstrings, and Qian Wubing felt a sharp pain on his shoulder. He could no longer sit upright. With a pop, he fell off his horse. Then, he only heard the sound of countless horse hooves, accompanied by the Tatars.
A strange scream came in front of him, and his eyes suddenly went dark, and then he didn't know anything anymore.
A group of Mongolian cavalry, surrounded by a man, came to the place where Qian Wubing fell off his horse. Someone jumped off the horse, put his finger in front of Qian Wubing's nose, tried Qian Wubing's breath, raised his head, and looked towards that
The man who looked like a leader shouted loudly: "This Ming official is still angry!"
A crescent moon poked its head out from the dark clouds, casting down a hazy silver glow. In the silver glow, there was an exquisite hunting bow in his hand, and the person riding on the horse was none other than the little one Tu Meng was talking about.
Who is Skylark Agelina?
She looked at her prey quietly, with a smile on her lips: "Take it back, don't let him die!"
His men responded loudly. Someone walked over, tied up the unconscious Qian Wubing's hands and feet, and threw him into the saddle. The two guards who followed Qian Wubing in the end were not so lucky.
Not far from Qian Wubing, one was hit by an arrow and died on the spot, while the other was still lying on the ground groaning.
The cold light of the saber flashed, and the moaning stopped abruptly.
