Seeing a group of people rushing over with swords, Zu Dabi knew that he had no chance of survival. He couldn't even stand up at this time, so how could he be a match for this group of money wolves? However, he was not willing to die like this and looked back. , outside the military building not far behind was a group of Tatars. They hadn't rushed in yet. It seemed that their men were not dead yet, but they were almost there!
Unwilling to give in, Zu Dabi turned his head, and the group of people had already rushed to him. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Zu Dabi roared with all his strength and slashed with his sword.
With a clang, Zu Dabi's knife was knocked off by the opponent. Just when he was about to curse, he heard a voice coming from his ear: "General, one of our own!"
ah? Zu Dabi looked confused. He took a closer look and saw that the man who knocked the knife out of his hand turned out to be a Ming soldier. Looking back, he saw that the dozen or so people who had just rushed in turned out to be Ming soldiers, and they were already heading towards the military building.
Reinforcements are coming!
Zu Dabi finally came to his senses. He was in the mood to kill just now. He was like crazy. He was confused and seriously injured. He lost too much blood and the sky was gloomy, windy and snowy. He couldn't see clearly that it was his own people who rushed in!
That's right, reinforcements are coming!
The reinforcements would not have come so quickly. After all, this place is still dozens of miles away from Tashan Fort. There is no mobile phone or airplane these days, so it is impossible for them to come so quickly.
But what a coincidence.
In order to prevent the Qing army from attacking Tashan Fort, Chang Yu decided to advance instead of retreat. To block the Qing army outside Tashan Fort, he mobilized thousands of troops to dig trenches more than ten miles north of Tashan Fort and sent patrols there. Patrolling over there, intercepting the Qing army's probing horses.
Besides, after Zu Dabi's personal soldier Dai Ji escaped from Xingshan, he whipped his horse and ran towards Tashan Fort. Before he reached the trench, he encountered a Ming army patrol with more than ten riders. He rushed the matter said.
After hearing this, the leader of the patrol quickly called other nearby groups and quickly went to Tashan Fort to report. At this time, the first batch of more than 20 cavalry reinforcements arrived.
More than 20 fast horses galloped for nearly 20 miles at a stretch. The horses were tired early, but they were worried about Zu Dabi's safety and had to whip the horses hard, hoping to rescue him quickly.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, both men and horses were exhausted. No matter how hard they were whipped, the horses could no longer run. On normal days, they wouldn't be so tired, but it was actually because of the deep snow.
As soon as they reached the mountainside, they heard the sound of killing. Knowing that they had no time to waste, the Ming army abandoned their horses and ran wildly. Fortunately, Xingshan Mountain was not high, but even so, they were tired and out of breath. However, after rushing into the ruined fort, after a quick glance, Seeing more than ten Tatars attacking the gate of the military building, they were still tired and slashed at them with a sword.
There were originally sixty or seventy Tatars chasing Zu Dabi. When they were circling the ruined fort, the Ming army killed more than ten of them. When they besieged the courtyard, there were still more than fifty people.
But not everyone participated in the attack on the courtyard. There were about a dozen archers hidden in various places to suppress fire, and more than ten people were on guard outside to prevent anyone from breaking through and escaping. Then more than ten people attacked from the main entrance, and the rest climbed over the wall. When they entered, there were more than twenty people in this group.
The people in the courtyard were already weak with one against two. Although they had injured many enemies after a hard fight, they also suffered heavy casualties. If they waited for the dozen or so little bosses at the door to come in, they would be in trouble.
After the dozen or so little bosses at the door discovered Zu Dabi's identity, they became very excited and rushed to get in. After all, this was a big fish, and it was a great achievement whether he lived or died!
But if you want to come in, you must first clear the debris blocking the door.
These debris include stones and wood. They seem to be useless waste, but they become Zu Dabi's life-saving things.
When the dozen or so Tatars were cleaning up the debris and were about to rush in, someone was suddenly hit by an arrow and fell down. Before they could react at first, they thought it was shot by the Ming army in the yard.
But he immediately realized that something was wrong. The archers in the yard had all been killed. In addition, he suddenly heard the shouts of the friendly troops on guard outside. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned around suddenly. Holy shit, a Ming army was coming from behind!
When he was frightened, he was about to turn back to fight, but several more people were shot dead in an instant. The remaining ones who dared to fight again ran away, and the Ming army that came over rushed into the yard in waves, and the waves that were originally on guard outside were The Tatars started to fight.
As soon as he rushed in, he saw Zu Dabi falling to the ground with blood on his face. He hurriedly went to check, but he didn't expect the old boy to chop him with a knife. Fortunately, a man with quick eyes and quick hands knocked the knife away from his hand.
Seeing that Zu Dabi had been slashed on the back and bleeding profusely, the soldier quickly dragged him to a corner to be bandaged. The rest of the soldiers had no time to greet him and immediately attacked the Tatar soldiers in the yard.
Those Tatar soldiers are attacking the military building next to it. The five or six Ming soldiers who survived inside, they are the only remaining soldiers of Zu Dabi, are blocking the door and hacking each other with the Tatars!
There were nearly ten Tatar soldiers outside the door, shouting and waving their swords as they rushed in. However, the door of the military building was much narrower than the courtyard door. The Ming army inside blocked the door with a mess of things up to waist high. The Tatars outside It's impossible to rush in like a swarm of swarms. You'll be hacked to death in a blink of an eye if you go in for a moment or two.
Two groups of people blocked the door with a pile of junk, hacking and slashing. The people inside couldn't escape, and the people outside couldn't rush in for a while.
But the Tatars were not too anxious. As long as the door was blocked, where could you escape? Sooner or later, it would be a matter of time to close the door and beat the dog. So when someone looked back, the old man actually chopped down two of his colleagues! They didn't rush over to help, because the courtyard door was about to be rushed open, and a half-dead old man would fly into the sky in the blink of an eye.
The courtyard door was opened and someone rushed in.
Then some Tatar soldiers suddenly felt severe pain. Some had severe pain in their heads, some had severe pain in their necks, and some had severe pain in their backs. Those with severe back pain could still look back and see what was going on, while some had severe pain in their heads and necks. There is no need for people to look back or not.
The poor dozen Tatars were concentrating on besieging the Ming army in the house, but they didn't know they were being killed from behind. Only three or four escaped in panic.
Unfortunately, as soon as these three or four people fled to the door, they were killed by a group of Ming soldiers with knives. Then the group of Ming soldiers retreated into the courtyard and were beaten back by the Qing soldiers outside.
They had accidentally killed six or seven people in the group of people outside the door before, but they faced about thirty Tatars, and they only had about ten people, and the number of the Tatars was three times more than them.
The most important thing is that they ran for dozens of miles and came halfway up the mountain. They were already exhausted. Just now they were holding on with just one breath. In this situation, if more people hit less people, they can still use their strength to fight. If they hit less people, they can still use their own strength. , it all depends on one go. If you can't defeat the opponent in one go, then it will weaken again and you will be exhausted in three!
There were only about twenty reinforcements in total, half of them rushed into the yard to rescue, and the other half fought with the Tatars outside. The people inside took advantage of them when they were unprepared, but those outside worked hard and resisted. The Tatar archers and The perimeter guards and others were encircled and retreated steadily, and they quickly retreated into the yard. Just as they were entering the yard, they encountered a few bargain hunters who came to their doorstep.
After he returned to the courtyard, the Tatars outside did not attack him, but kept shouting and cursing outside.
But the Ming army inside didn't care about them. One group was busy rescuing the wounded, while the other group was busy guarding, and by the way, they blocked the courtyard door again.
Zu Dabi leaned softly against the wall, his eyes closed tightly and breathing weakly. He muttered something that could not be heard clearly. His wound was long and deep, and two soldiers were busy helping him apply medicine to stop the bleeding.
"General, general" At this moment, a soldier with a face covered in blood and several knife wounds on his body staggered over, knelt down beside Zu Dabi, and kept crying: "General".
Zu Dabi opened his eyes slightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up when he looked at the soldier in front of him: "You're not dead yet."
"The younger one is not dead, General, the younger one is not dead, and several brothers are still alive!" The soldier said and suddenly started crying: "But we have lost more than twenty brothers!"
"More than twenty." Zu Dabi looked up at the sky and said gloomily, "Not many, not many, only more than twenty. There were many more who died back then!"
The soldier buried his head and cried, while the reinforcements next to him looked at each other, wondering what crazy things the old man was talking about.
Zu Dabi said nothing more, just stared blankly at the sky.
This time he went out with more than twenty soldiers, and six were still alive at this time.
"We can't stay here for long. We have to send the general back quickly." The soldier who was crying just now suddenly raised his head and said. A reinforcement shook his head: "We are surrounded by Tatars outside. We are exhausted at this time and cannot rush out at all. Yes, even if you force your way out without a horse, you won’t be able to run far!”
Ah, the soldier had a fierce look on his face and almost blurted out, "Well, you are here to support Mao Xian. You were besieged again when you first arrived. Isn't this a sacrifice of your life?"
No, of course it’s not to give someone away, it’s to extend your life!
"You have to break in if you can't get out, otherwise we will either freeze to death or starve to death here!" The soldier stood up slowly and looked around at the corpses in the yard: "Or we will be killed soon."
"That's not a big deal." The man's tone was very calm: "It won't take long before we can leave."
The soldier was startled at first, and then he realized that there were reinforcements behind him. At this time, he also realized that these reinforcements should not be from Tashan Fort. If so, it would not be possible for only such a small number of people to come, and it would not be possible for them to come so quickly. Guess They are the patrol outside Tashan Fort.
"How long will it take?" He couldn't help but ask.
"It should be soon." The reinforcements shrugged with a relaxed expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard constant noise outside. The soldiers were overjoyed, thinking that reinforcements were coming. They were about to get up and walk to the entrance of the courtyard, but suddenly they felt something was wrong. The sound came from the north, and if they heard it carefully, it was in Manchu.
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed. Reinforcements did come, but they were Tatar reinforcements! Judging from the sound, there must be a lot of people. At this time, the archers standing on the roof also discovered that many Tatar soldiers came in from the north of the ruins, including cavalry and infantry. There were only a few people in the ruins, but there were also more than a hundred people.
Good guy, everyone who just escaped death suddenly felt cold in their hearts again!
It's just that he died, and he was dragging down the supporting soldiers.
The reinforcements who had looked relaxed just now also had livid faces at this time.
After all, hundreds of people surrounded you with more than 20 tired soldiers, and the result was no surprise.
They were one step ahead of others, and although they rescued Zu Dabi in time, they were besieged by the enemy army who came one step later!
So is this a blessing or a misfortune?
