The battle damage was soon tallied up. All of Zu Dabi's more than 20 soldiers died in the battle except for him. Thirteen of the more than 100 members of the Tashan Fort patrol team who came to the rescue survived, and the Black Tiger Battalion was responsible. Seven of those who blocked the enemy forces at the foot of the mountain were killed, twenty-seven of those led by Wang Fuchen who participated in the battle of the ruined fort were unharmed, and Ji Jike's Yingying camp was wounded of sixty-seven and six were killed.
The casualties of the Qing army were relatively serious. The attackers left nearly a hundred corpses, and there were more than 210 corpses in the abandoned fort!
In other words, including the dozens and hundreds who escaped, there were at least three hundred Tatars who participated in the siege in the ruins!
Hundreds of Ming troops lit fires in the abandoned fort to keep warm, melting snow to quench their thirst. After half a stick of incense, they gradually regained their strength. At this time, Wang Fuchen came to report that the Tatars were still in formation down the mountain and refused to retreat.
"The thief's heart will never die. I'll kill him when he is gone..." Tu Yuan picked up the knife and was about to do it. The previous fight made him extremely unhappy. When he heard that the Tatars would not retreat, he became murderous again.
But Chang Yu stopped him and raised his eyebrows: "It's so cold and freezing, why are they so exhausted?"
"I am unwilling to do so," Tu Yuan snorted, "So he asked me to fulfill the thief's wish and kill him without leaving any trace behind..."
"I'm just afraid of fraud..." Ji Jike looked solemn and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."
"I feel the same way even in humble positions. Maybe there are reinforcements behind the Tatars. Let's leave immediately..." Wang Zhengnan also agreed, and Tu Yuan sneered: "They are only three to five hundred people. We have more troops at this time... …”
"Let's go" Chang Yu interrupted him: "The person has been saved and the revenge has been avenged. It is really not suitable to stay here for a long time."
Knowing that their goal was hopeless, the Tatars still stayed at the foot of the mountain. In this cold and snowy weather, it would make people numb even if they stood up. They did not light a fire, so they lingered in formation at the foot of the mountain. They had to let people die. Suspicious, and Chang Yu felt that Zu Dabi had been rescued and had killed hundreds of Tatars to satisfy his hatred. In addition, the soldiers and horses were exhausted and the weather was cold. There was really no need to stay here and waste time with the Tatars at the foot of the mountain. Not to mention that it is so close to Songshan that the situation can change at any time.
Tu Yuan didn't want to, but when he saw Chang Yu ordered him to leave, he had no choice but to comply.
So he ordered all the troops to withdraw from the abandoned fort and return, taking the corpses of their comrades with them. As for the corpses of the patrols at Guimen Pass, they could only stay there and bury them later.
The soldiers of the two battalions left the ruined fort, each looked for their war horses, and descended the mountain one after another. Wang Fuchen led more than ten cavalry to take charge of the rear, and stayed at the north gate of the city to monitor the Tatars at the foot of the mountain.
"What do you think those Tatars are thinking down there? They don't want to divide their forces to outflank us from behind," a veteran said with a frown as he looked at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Fuchen snorted: "It's just a small number of people. They can't even climb the mountain in a swarm. They're not enough to kill the general alone. We have to divide the troops... Isn't it too slow to die?"
"Then I guess we have to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. Gou Tatar is quite stubborn today and will definitely give us a fight..." Another person muttered, and the person next to him couldn't help laughing. Gou Tatar has been feeling depressed these days. It's on fire, and the fire is quite strong.
Everyone laughed, and Wang Fuchen chuckled: "That's thanks to our grown-up, these days are so provocative, even a naughty rabbit is anxious."
On the south side of Xingshan Mountain, Chang Yu was sitting on a horse with his neck curled up, but the cold wind was still blowing into his body, making him couldn't help but curse, "It's so cold on a dog's day."
"My lord, you feel cold because you haven't moved your muscles and bones today. If you move, you won't be cold anymore." Kuang Ren chuckled and raised his arms: "I can't feel the cold now, and my whole body is full of strength."
Chang Yu glanced at him, his eyes fell on the bow behind him, and couldn't help but said: "What a pity, what a pity. If I could get you a compound bow, coupled with your archery skills, you would really be invincible in the world!"
"What is a compound bow?" Kuang Ren couldn't help but asked.
Chang Yu sighed: "A very powerful but very labor-saving bow and arrow. It's a pity that our family can't make it and we don't have the materials."
"Is there anything that adults can't create?" Kuang Ren felt incredible. In their eyes, Chang Yu was an omnipotent god. Chang Yu smiled helplessly and shook his head: "That's it, that's all. When the moon is full, it will be weak, and when the water is full, it will be weak. "Yi, your archery skills are rare in this world, so you can't be too greedy."
Of course, the compound bow he was talking about did not refer to the compound bows of ancient times, but to those compound bows made of special and responsible materials in later generations. But he also knew in his heart that there were some things that could only be thought of in this era.
The wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger, and everyone felt hungry again, so they whipped up their whips and hurried off. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, several riders came running from the southeast, shouting something. Chang Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and there was a kiss beside him. Soldiers and horses came to meet them. Tu Yuan and Ji Jike quickly sent orders to be on guard, and hundreds of horsemen got into battle formations.
Soon his men rushed back to report to the Lord that General Ma's soldiers were fighting fiercely with the enemy two miles southeast!
These words shocked everyone.
Chang Yu's mind was confused for the first time. Could it be that his home was robbed? But he soon came to his senses. If his home had been robbed, he wouldn't start a war here...
It's just that Marco wasn't sitting in Tashan Fort. When did he come, why did he fight with the enemy here, when did the enemy come, and how many came... Then he summoned the messengers and asked in front of the horse.
It turned out that Ma Ke was worried about waiting in the fort for a long time, so he sent people out of the city from time to time to inquire. It happened that a team met the monk who was escorting Zu Dabi back, and learned that Chang Yu was leading his troops to fight with the enemy in the abandoned fort in Xingshan, and the Tatars When there were still many soldiers, Ma Ke couldn't sit still. He thought that although Chang Yu had two battalions of guards, Xingshan was too close to Songshan City. If the Tatars sent a large army...
This is not possible. To put it bluntly, Zu Dabi was surrounded and even killed. Although it had an impact on the Ming army, it was still under control. But if Chang Yu was trapped...
The consequences would be disastrous, and Marco couldn't even imagine it.
So he personally brought a thousand soldiers and horses to support him!
Little did he know that it was because of his worry and caution that he accidentally saved Chang Yu from a bloody disaster. After Ma Ke led his troops across the trench, they headed towards Xingshan Fort, learning from the mistakes of the past. It wasn't very hard, but the wind and snow were quite tough for my eyes. When I was still a few miles away from Xingshan Fort, I suddenly saw a detective team running towards me, saying that a Tatar army was marching on the east side of Xingshan.
Ma Ke was also deeply surprised after hearing this. The original intelligence said that Chang Yuzheng was leading his troops to fight with the Tatars at Xingshan Fort. Why was there still an enemy force east of Xingshan.
But he quickly realized that it was probably a Tatar sneak attack force. They wanted to go around to the south of Xingshan, attack from behind, cut off the retreat of the Ming army on the mountain, and trap them in Xingshan!
Marco didn't know what the fighting situation was at Xingshan at this time, but he was determined not to let this Tatar army succeed. He decisively led his troops to meet them and at the same time sent people to Xingshan to report.
After Chang Yu heard this, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat!
He immediately realized that this enemy force that was sneaking around and attacking should have arrived at the same time as the enemy force that rushed up the mountain earlier. However, their tasks were clear. The enemy force was responsible for charging up the mountain to bring reinforcements, and it was also to attract The Ming army noticed that the other force directly circled from the east and outflanked it...
Chang Yu and others knew nothing about all this. Their attention and energy were indeed on the abandoned fort and at the foot of the mountain. They did not notice or expect that the Tatars had another army. If it was sunny on weekdays, they might be able to look far away. I found some clues, but in this windy and snowy weather, your ability to see clearly is the limit.
If I had been touched behind by that enemy army just now...
Thinking of this, Chang Yu couldn't help but shudder, which also aroused his anger. It seemed that the Tatars were becoming more and more agitated and sinister. Instead of being passively beaten, they also began to plot against him.
However, they were unlucky today. Just when they succeeded, they were met by Marco.
"How many soldiers and horses do the Tatars have?" Chang Yu asked with a gloomy face.
"Sir, there are hundreds of people, the exact number is unknown!"
"It doesn't matter how much he has, fuck him." Tu Yuan couldn't sit still for a long time, and kept cursing: "I just didn't have enough fun, and these gangsters came to my door..."
Chang Yu nodded. It was really time to move around and warm up his body. He waved his hand and went to fuck...
At the foot of the North Mountain of Xingshan Mountain, hundreds of Tatars were still in formation. Many soldiers were freezing and stomping their feet to breathe. However, the formation was not chaotic and their morale was not weak. Even though they had charged up the mountain with hundreds of people just now, they were beaten by dozens of Ming soldiers. After blocking it, they were still not convinced. They felt that the Ming army just took advantage of the terrain and the strength of their armor.
Therefore, they were unwilling to accept and had no intention of retreating.
They were ready to take a breath and come back again. The anger they had suppressed for so long must be released today, and they must regain the prestige of the Qing Dynasty's cavalry!
At this time, they were waiting for the general's order, and then they would rush forward regardless of their own safety.
The general of the Qing army had a gloomy face from beginning to end, looking at the mountain road with a telescope from time to time, watching his troops withdraw, watching the Ming army withdrawing to the abandoned fort, watching the Ming army clearing the battlefield, watching the abandoned A dozen Ming troops were lingering outside the fort to monitor, and they also saw thick smoke billowing over the abandoned fort...
The friendly troops who escaped from the ruins told him that there were nearly a thousand Ming troops besieging them in the ruined fort, and most of them were fully armed. From this, he concluded that they were definitely not ordinary Ming troops, and therefore almost wiped out their entire army and escaped. Only a hundred people...
This made him frown and mutter to himself, since there were nearly a thousand soldiers and horses, why were there only a few dozen to stop him from attacking the mountain? Was he looking down on himself, or were these deserters exaggerating...
But one thing he did not doubt was that this was no ordinary Ming army on the mountain. Their combat power and equipment were clearly visible.
However, no matter who is on the mountain today, you will have to shed your skin if you want to die.
He raised the mirror and looked eastward for a while, but saw nothing. But he calculated in his mind that the time was almost up, so he looked towards the mountain for a while, and then sent an order to attack the mountain!
"Damn it, the Tatars are coming..."
A Ming soldier who saw it on the mountain shouted.
Wang Fuchen took a closer look, what a good guy, before he could say anything, someone next to him shouted: "Fuck you!"
"Fuck Ruliang," Wang Fuchen scolded angrily: "Hurry up and run the hell away." Then he got on his horse and drove away with his whip...
