Even in the dark night, Meng Hetong relied on his flexible marksmanship and hearing to dismount the enemy general. The Sangge group felt embarrassed and immediately ordered a charge. The Xu family army, which had been prepared for a long time, also rushed out of the city gate at this time.
Meng and Tong fought fiercely and rushed all the way to the front. Not long after, Xu Yanquan caught up with him: "You stupid boy, what's the matter? You can't win military merit alone!"
Meng Hetong turned around and beheaded the person behind him, and then said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether you can grab it or not!"
Xie Suyu, who was standing on the city wall, watched them fight, and his heart was already tightening. He wished he could go up to help, but his identity forced him to stay behind.
Ning Yuanhou looked at the distance with cold eyes, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "Are they retreating?"
Xie Su Yu reacted suddenly, and then compared the distance between them: "Did they retreat?"
"There's an ambush!" Xu Xiaozhen shouted suddenly, then rushed to the drummer, grabbed the drumstick and started beating the drum.
Xu Yanquan and Meng Hetong looked at each other when they heard the sound of the drums, then tightened the reins without hesitation and shouted: "Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
Marquis Ningyuan raised his hand: "Get on the catapult!"
Fang Cheng immediately made arrangements, and the catapults were pushed out of the city gate one after another. After setting up the formation and correcting the distance, they waved the flag: "Let go!"
The stones of the catapult were smeared with kerosene and lit before being thrown out. Even Meng Hetong and the others couldn't help but shrink their necks. If a stone weighing over a hundred pounds hit them, it would be no joke. !
But at the moment the stone fell to the ground, there was a sudden loud roar and explosion. The horse under Meng Hetong was frightened and almost threw him off the horse. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pulled the reins in time, so he did not fall.
"It's gunpowder, they have an ambush!" Xu Yanquan reacted, "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
The charging teams ran back one after another, but some who did not evacuate in time were knocked unconscious by the explosion, and someone immediately dragged them away.
The stones from the catapults hit the gunpowder they were ambushing, causing explosions one after another. Because the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang people did not retreat in time, most of them were blown up, and some were even blown into the sky.
Meng Hetong rode a horse and stood at the open city gate, his eyes full of disbelief.
But Marquis Ningyuan, who was standing on the city wall, seemed to have anticipated this scene, and just watched with cold eyes as the people of Northern Xinjiang reaped the consequences.
Xie Suyu on the side was a little dumbfounded: "General Xu, did you expect this?"
"The heavy snowfall has just passed, and the snow is very thick. Our people have no time to clean it up. They gathered a large army at this time and came to the door in the middle of the night. The line of sight is blocked. At this time, there must be an ambush!" Marquis Ning Yuan said coldly, "Although this is my first time playing against this young general, it is not my first time hearing about his deeds!"
Studying the combat styles and habits of enemy generals is an ability that every general must possess.
In fact, during this little fight, they also studied some of the styles and habits of the Sanger group. However, when they were fighting just now, they did not think of these things at all. In fact, Xie Suyu still has it in his heart until now. Be afraid.
If Ning Yuanhou had not discovered that the ambush circle that Xu Yanquan and the others rushed to was exploded, it was their people. Xie Suyu's heart clenched tightly. He could not imagine what would have happened if he had not retreated in time at that time. Tragic things.
But at this moment, Xie Suyu suddenly understood why his father had believed in Ning Yuanhou for so many years.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. You must not only have enough confidence, but also have enough experience. They are a group of young people who are not afraid of tigers when they are just born. They are full of momentum, but when they really encounter an emergency, they have no time to react.
Ning Yuanhou glanced at Xie Suyu and saw that his face was pale and ugly, so he knew what he was thinking. Ningyuanhou showed a rare smile and patted Xie Suyu's shoulder gently: "Back then, you and I Father, just like you, many things have been experienced, just like scars. Only when you have experienced pain can you know what kind of things will hurt you! It’s nothing serious!”
Xie Suyu pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes, I understand!"
Winning the first battle is a great joy!
The first battle between the two armies determined the momentum of both sides. Everyone was very happy, and even the cold brought by the first snow seemed less obvious.
But Meng Hetong and the others felt a bit indescribable. They were sitting in front of the bonfire, watching everyone jumping for joy, but their faces were quite solemn.
"Do you think we would have been shattered into pieces if we had rushed forward at that time?" Meng Hetong lowered his head, looked at the fire in front of him, and said softly.
Xu Yanquan put his arms around Meng Hetong's shoulders: "What, are you scared?"
"Aren't you afraid?" Meng Hetong glanced at Xu Yanquan, "My wife hasn't married yet, so she must be afraid. I have to go back alive!"
"It doesn't matter, we can definitely go back alive. You have to believe in my father!" Xu Yanquan smiled, "He is an invincible god of death! Nothing can defeat him!"
Meng Hetong looked up at the camp not far away with a burning gaze: "In a few years, we will be as good as him! We can't read so many books in vain!"
Xu Yanquan smiled: "Then you have to work harder! In the early years, I had the same idea as you. Later, when I actually went out to fight, I realized that my father is a man worthy of worship! At least I arrived I still admire him all the time!”
Xie Suyu on the side nodded his head gently: "Me too!"
"Shut up now. If your Majesty finds out about this, I'm afraid he will be angry to death!" Meng Hetong grabbed a handful of hay on the ground and threw it at him.
Xie Suyu didn't say anything, just stared at the fire in a daze.
"But speaking of which, I haven't thought that gunpowder can be used in this way!" Xu Yanquan suddenly said, "When we were cleaning the battlefield just now, I saw that they seemed to have buried saltpeter in the snow. As soon as they encountered an open flame, they would directly Exploded!"
"It is rumored that this Sanger group is so cold-blooded that they can kill without distinguishing between friend and foe. I just asked my father. The reason why he was on guard was because he had killed people in this way in several battles. General!" Xu Yanquan frowned, "Explosives do not distinguish between friend and foe. It is said that several of his own cronies died because of explosives!"
