"Quickly put out the torch!"
One of the Hou Jin soldiers thought that the enemy was hiding in the dark and that he was seeking death by being exposed to the light of fire, so he immediately alerted his companions holding torches.
"Bah~"
Hou Jinjun, who was holding the torch, immediately inserted the torch head into the snow, and a puff of white smoke came out.
In just a moment, all the torches were extinguished, including the one whose owner had been shot and fell to the ground.
An instant later, the campground returned to darkness.
Yu Ding, who was shot in the face by Huang Yi and could not die for a while, was still wailing.
It's like a ghost crying in this dark night.
Huang Yi saw it really and heard it clearly.
At this time, he already regretted shooting an arrow through the neck of the torch-bearing slave.
Knowing your mistakes will lead to improvement!
When aiming for the third target, Huang Yi decided not to shoot the heart or the neck, but only to hit the face.
A Jiannu armored soldier thought he was so dark that he could not see his fingers and would not be shot by the enemy, so he hid in the shadows and slowly moved towards the other side of the tent.
"Pfft!" A feather arrow flew silently and went straight into the left cheek, and the arrowhead actually came out from the right cheek.
Being shot through the face did not affect his speech, so one more slave screamed inhumanly. The two screams were mixed together, making it sound even more horrifying in this dark night.
The most fearful thing is the unknown. Hou Jinjun couldn't figure out how the enemy could accurately shoot in the dark night.
They realized that the danger came from the west, and the smart ones hid to the east of the bunkers they could find.
Several Hou Jin soldiers did not believe in evil. They held iron shields in their hands and prepared to form a formation and approach the dark place where the arrows were fired to see what happened.
It's a pity that just after taking ten steps forward, an arrow flew and hit the calf of a rear Jinjun infantry armor exposed outside the shield...
"Cang! Ah! Ah!..." The iron shield fell to the ground, and the armor, which had been shot through the muscle and broken the leg bone, hugged its leg and howled.
The rest of the Houjin army were frightened and immediately retreated into the nearest bunker with their shields raised.
The Bujia was shouting in Jurchen dialect that Huang Yi couldn't understand. Huang Yi understood that this person was calling for help.
His crossbow had been loaded. At this time, he deliberately did not add another arrow to kill the infantry. Instead, he used the scope to observe the Jiannu hiding nearby.
That infantryman was a regular soldier, and his status in the army and the Niulu was one level higher than ordinary armored men, much higher than Yu Ding.
At this time, he was yelling and threatening!
An armored man who was in the same camp as Bujia could not hide. He whispered to Yu Ding, a fellow villager:
"We can't just die without saving him!"
"Definitely not. They are all fellow countrymen from Niulu. They will be stabbed in the spine!"
"The Ming soldier who shot the crossbow was hiding in the darkness to the west. We held up our iron shields and went over to him, pulled him up and ran back."
"I'll listen to you!"
"Just remember to beware of the west!"
"Um!"
The two men approached cautiously, holding iron shields. Under the cover of the snow, the two of them could still distinguish the outline of the armor whose leg bone had been shot off.

One step, two steps, three steps...
Fortunately, the fatal crossbow arrow did not fly. After they approached the injured vest, they immediately stretched out a hand to drag him away.
It's just that the armor, which is equipped with iron armor, leather armor, and cotton armor, is relatively heavy, weighing more than 200 kilograms. Even if he pedals hard with one leg that can still use his strength, he moves slowly.
In the rush of the armored man, the iron shield he held tilted. This oversight was fatal.
Huang Yi, who had been targeting them, got the chance.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The crossbow arrow grazed the edge of the iron shield and went straight into the shoulder socket of the armored man. The man screamed in pain, and the iron shield fell and hit the armor, which had his calf broken.
Unfortunately, the iron shield happened to hit the bridge of the armor's nose, causing blood to flow profusely...
"Ah! Ah!..."
"Ouch! It hurts so much, please help me..."
There were two more howling Houjin troops, which made the movement here seem particularly loud.
Yu Ding, who was also involved in the rescue, uttered a cry and scurried back to the bunker like a rabbit. Although the two injured people who had been together were groaning, he no longer had the courage to come out.
Unfortunately, it was too dark. Except for Huang Yi and Huang Dayong, who was holding a telescope, no one else could figure out the situation at all.
Not everyone in the camp of the Hou Jin Army could sleep in a tent. Most of the young and middle-aged Han people crowded under the carts to keep each other warm.
Of course, such a loud howl woke everyone up.
In a tent not far from the tents of Kamuge and Choketu, an eight or nine-year-old boy was held tightly in the arms of a man in his forties.
They were surrounded by Han women, no less than fifty in number.
Except for the coated slaves and the Han bannermen, the rest of the Han men had no tents to live in, except these two men.
That's because Li Yongtai, who is in his forties, used to be the doctor at the largest herbal medicine store in Yongping Prefecture, and he was a general practitioner with superb medical skills.
He was the one who was treating Choctaw's injuries and changing his dressing.
Is Li Yongtai a traitor?
No!
Li Yongtai hated Jiannu to the core!
There are eleven people in his family, and now only he and his youngest son, Li Ping'an, are left.
Li Yongtai originally didn't want to live anymore, and wanted to poison a few people and then the Jin army would take revenge.
However, Jiannu used his remaining youngest son to threaten him, and Li Yongtai had to kneel down.
He was a capable doctor, and not only did the slaves look up to him, but the slaves also treated him politely.
So when they went to bed at night, both father and son could squeeze into the tent.
Li Yongtai believes that if he is taken to Liaodong, he may never be able to return to his hometown in this life.
He wanted to escape, but his reason told him that in this freezing winter, escaping would be a dead end.
He is literate!
It was already obvious that the small Guan Ning Army team that dared to raid the slaves in broad daylight would not be able to give up easily, and would definitely come again to harass them.
He had relatively more freedom in this post-Jin army, and often gave the Han people a headache.
This afternoon, he also quietly encouraged some young and middle-aged Han people, urging them to find a way to escape immediately if they found out that Guan Ning's army was coming to kill again.
"Dad, I'm scared!"
The screams outside were terrifying, and Li Ping'an was trembling when he woke up.
Li Yongtai whispered in his son's ear: "Don't be afraid, it's a good thing. Guan Ning's army is coming to kill again!"
"Can Guan Ning's army defeat Jiannu?"
"Yes! I can definitely do it! I can't do it today, but I will definitely succeed if I try it a few more times!"
Although Li Yongtai said it in his son's ear, because it was too crowded, a woman next to him heard it.
She said: "Mr. Li, please stop lying to your children. If Guan Ning's army can really defeat Liaodong, it should have been pacified long ago. How could it be possible for Jian Nu to fight all the way to Yongping Mansion!"
This woman was also captured by Jiannu from Yongping Mansion. Li Yongtai knew her and knew that she was the concubine of the Inspector General, and her maiden name was Ye.
As a famous doctor in Yongping Prefecture, Li Yongtai would of course often go to the homes of officials to practice medicine. It was not surprising to see the female relatives of high-ranking officials.
