The wind is really sharp, like a knife, and the sky is really cold, which makes people freeze.
Chang Yu shrank his neck on the horse, cursing in his mind that the damn weather was so cold.
Also, the era we live in now is the Little Ice Age. The south these days is colder than the north in later generations. You can imagine how freezing it is on this windy and snowy day outside the customs. It is estimated that it is at least ten degrees below zero.
This is not the coldest three-nine days, when it will be minus 20 degrees.
On a day like this, let alone fighting, you will die if you step out.
After all, they don't have down jackets or jackets.
Most of the soldiers only wore thin cotton clothes to keep out the cold.
Although the soldiers and generals have leather armors and battle armors, they are not able to withstand the cold.
"Hey, has the snow stopped?"
Everyone was walking in the dark for a while, and Kuang Ren suddenly murmured. Chang Yu and others were startled, and then they stretched out their hands and found that the snow had really stopped, but the wind was blowing like a knife, and they didn't care when the snow stopped.
"Hey, maybe that Qing Yuanzi is still a hidden master?" Kuang Ren muttered, and Wang Zhengnan looked thoughtful: "There are many strange people in the world who like to play in the world..."
"Come on," Chang Yu cheered: "Where are there so many strangers? It's just a pretense, but it's just playing with probability." As he said that, he looked up at the night sky. It was pitch black without any starlight. Fortunately, the ground was covered in white. The snow reflects everything, so that the eyes are not completely dark.
"Don't worry about the authenticity of that wild Taoist. Let's find our way home first. If we get lost, we will turn into ice sculptures tonight..." Before Chang Yu could finish his words, he heard Kuang Ren groan and turned his head. Seeing him pointing to the west, everyone took a closer look, vaguely seeing the light of the fire, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Huh... Everyone didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so they didn't dare to be careless. They hurriedly reined in their horses and silenced them. Kuang Ren made a gesture, and two guards immediately got off their horses and groped towards the direction of the fire.
Chang Yu looked around and vaguely saw a black shadow more than ten meters away in front of him on the left. He guessed it was a small forest. He made a gesture and everyone slowly moved over and stopped to watch.
After a while, they suddenly heard a call in the distance. Everyone was startled, thinking that the spies had been caught doing it. They also saw the fire moving quickly towards this side. Chang Yu was about to send an order to prepare for war, but the call became clearer and clearer. Everyone looked carefully. Listen, he looked overjoyed, it turned out to be one of his own!
It was none other than Ma Ke and his more than fifty soldiers.
"The end will come soon, please forgive me." After seeing Chang Yu, Ma Ke quickly got off his horse and knelt down to worship. The reason why he gave such a big salute was because he was about to be frightened!
Previously, he was chasing Table Bu Tai, but gave up because his horse was exhausted. At this time, Qia Changyu chased him, chasing in the direction he pointed, while Ma Ke was lying on the ground panting, thinking of taking a breather before chasing after him, but he just took a few breaths. There was no trace of Chang Yu and others, and there were no soldiers left or right. This time, within a few miles of the surrounding area, the two armies were chasing and fighting. Everything was extremely dangerous. It was too dangerous to be alone.
So Ma Ke led the horse and walked back, hoping to find his own soldiers to go with him. After walking a hundred steps, he heard the sound of killing in the distance. When he was hesitating, a group of personal soldiers came looking for him. Ma Ke was overjoyed. He changed horses and went to the ordinary world. , but the soldiers said that the fighting was fierce at the foot of Xingshan Mountain.
This made Ma Ke a little confused. His subordinates could have killed the Tatars to a great extent. Seeing the arrival of Chang Yu's reinforcements, they retreated north. At this time, they should have been defeated long ago and fled. Why are they still fighting fiercely?
The soldiers said that when the two battalions of the East Factory Guards came to attack, the Tatar army was indeed in retreat. The generals were chasing after them and just when they were about to encircle and annihilate this enemy force, hundreds more Tatar troops came from the west...
Ma Ke frowned when he heard this, thinking that with Chang Yu's bravery, he would not suffer much in chasing the Tatar leader. The most urgent task at hand was to focus on the battle situation, so he went to the front line with his soldiers to command the battle.
When the fighting over there ended and I was returning to the army, I realized that Chang Yu hadn't come back yet, and I panicked. Could it be that the ship capsized in the ditch? Let alone Ma Ke, Ji Jike, Tu Yuan and others are not panicking now. For them, Zu Dabi can be lost, Tashan Fort can be lost, and even Ningyuan City can be lost, but Chang Yu cannot be lost!
That is the Great Pillar Stone!
If Chang Yu makes a mistake, it will be equivalent to cutting off two arms and two legs of Emperor Chongzhen and losing half of his head! In Emperor Chongzhen's rage, they all had to die!
Tu Yuan and others hurriedly went to look for them, but Ma Ke was worried that something would happen on the way back. At this time, all the soldiers and horses were exhausted and they were afraid of encountering a strong enemy again. There were no strong generals in charge, and they were afraid of suffering heavy losses, so they ordered Tu and Ji to After leading his troops back, he led more than a hundred cavalry to search around.
It was a dark and windy night, and when searching for someone in the vast wilderness of enemy-occupied territory, Ma Ke was uneasy, on tenterhooks, and even almost lost his way. He didn't know where Chang Yu could be at this moment, so he could only find someone in the dark. He was walking around the area he had been to before, but he didn't dare to go too far north for fear of stepping on a trap.
He searched for Chang Yu like this for nearly half an hour. During this half hour, Ma Ke really felt like he was being fried on a hot pan. He didn't know whether Chang Yu was alive or dead, lost, or captured. He He even thought about where to bury his head after being beheaded by Chongzhen.
But after all, he got lucky today and bumped into him when he was most disappointed. If he had known that Chang Yu was chatting by the fire at the farmhouse just now when he was burning in a hot pot, he would probably have cursed!
"General Ma is here at the right time. Our group is worried that we can't find our way out." Chang Yu dismounted and helped Ma Ke up, and asked casually: "How is the fighting over there?"
"More than a hundred enemy weapons were killed, and the Tatars fled. If we hadn't been exhausted, we could have wiped them all out." Ma Ke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and realized that Chang Yu was lost, and looked behind him: "Are you there, sir?" Capture Na Zhuo Butai?"
"That guy is very slippery. All his subordinates wiped out the one fish that slipped through the net!" Chang Yu said with a regretful look on his face: "Guri's riding skills are also very good, far better than ours."
"Let that guy dance for a few more days," Marco said, looking around: "It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. Sir, let's go quickly."
Everyone said yes, got on their horses and left.
On the way, they had time to ask Ma Ke why he had sex with Zhuo Butai, and Ma Ke explained the cause and effect. Chang Yu and others were secretly surprised. If Ma Ke hadn't come and bumped into Zhuo Butai, If he can't protect everyone from being double-teamed from behind, he will suffer a big loss today!
Wang Zhengnan and Kuang Ren quickly thanked Ma Ke and said that they would treat him to a big drink in the future.
Then Ma Ke told the details of the battle between the two armies, and Chang Yu became confused. Although Zhuo Butai's troops were powerful, they were not as powerful as Ma Ke. It's his fault. If you run slower, you will be surrounded and annihilated. How come you still kill someone while running?
Marco then said that while he was pursuing the enemy, another enemy army came from the west to fight for reinforcements.
Chang Yu and Wang Zhengnan looked at each other and guessed that it must be the Tatar army that attacked the mountain before. After attacking the mountain, they saw that the abandoned fort was already empty. Then they heard that Shandong was fighting, so they came to help...
"These two groups of Tatars are not ordinary soldiers and horses, they are very tyrannical!" Ma Ke looked solemn: "If we hadn't been outnumbered and powerful, we would have suffered a big loss today."
Chang Yu hummed: "We know that this is Zhuo Butai. His people are brave and his troops are also the elite of the Tatars. As for the branch that attacked the mountain, although I don't know its name, judging from its tactical layout, "It's not a human being." He said and sighed: "If the logistics can keep up and the soldiers have a warm place to rest and warm things to eat and drink, I will stay at Xingshan Fort today and wait and see who dares to come and get it." I’ll take my head!”
Everyone was in high spirits after hearing this, and they all said that they would come back to do it again tomorrow if they were well prepared!
Chang Yu asked Tu Yuan again, where was Ji Jike?
Ma Ke said that the soldiers were all tired, hungry and cold, so they retreated to Tashan Fort. Fearing that something might change along the way, he ordered the two generals to lead the troops ahead.
Chang Yu praised his sophistication.
