The group of people rushed to the resting point, and soon Fang Heng left with his men.
Only three people were left to drink hot water to replenish their hunger.
They were like all ordinary businessmen. They talked loudly while eating, talking about the big things about their country and the small things at home.
"The resting place here in the border area is just a small hut, which can protect you from the wind and rain and have a meal. It is simple and tight." Wang Xiaosong said eloquently, "The resting place in Jiangnan is different. It is a tea pavilion, and the tea inside is It’s free, you can drink whatever you want.”
"Tea pavilion? Wouldn't it be drafty from all sides and extremely cold?" Yang Zhi said blankly.
Wang Xiaosong smiled, "It's warm in the south of the Yangtze River. It's extremely hot even if there's no wind. It's the wind that leaks in from all sides of the tea pavilion that blows on your body, which makes you feel cool and comfortable. Couple that with a bowl of ice dumplings, it's really amazing."
Yang Zhi's expression changed from stunned to envious.
He has been in Northern Xinjiang since he was born, and the furthest he went was to Anshui County. He had never been to Jiangnan, and could not imagine what the legendary wealthy land was like.
"Good boy, follow my brother and I will take you to Jiangnan to eat delicious food in the future." Wang Xiaosong took care of everything, "The roast duck over there is very cheap, only a few dozen yuan each."
Yang Zhi's face was filled with admiration and he nodded seriously.
After they had eaten and drank enough, the three of them got up and continued on their way.
Wang Xiaosong kept Fang Heng's advice in mind and remained cautious as before, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and occasionally complained.
About half an hour passed like this, and the surroundings were still silent.
Wang Xiaosong almost wondered if the Tartars had left, but there was sudden movement behind him, mixed with shouts of joy and incomprehensible language.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage was stopped, and a dozen Tartars came forward with ferocious smiles and raised their swords to kill.
They don't talk nonsense or be long-winded. Their purpose is very clear, which is to kill people and intercept goods.
The long knife with blue light in the darkness had harvested the lives of countless people in Dayu.
Wang Xiaosong gritted his teeth and restrained his fear.
The curtain of the carriage behind them was opened, and Jiang Wu, Jiang Qi and Jiang Ba fought with them with their long swords.
At that moment, swords flashed and blood flew everywhere.
The Tartars panicked, thinking they had encountered an ambush. When they took a closer look, they found that there were only three of them, and they thought of a quick victory.
Jiang Wu and his younger brother were under a lot of pressure.
They not only had to protect Wang Xiaosong and the other three people behind them, but they also had to delay the Tartars until the large force arrived.
And because there are no horses, they can only rely on their own agility to move among the crowd and hack and kill the enemy.
If we say that Jiang Wu and his younger brother Wu are the gods of war, they are the descendants of the God of War.
The three long-term workers were like three weeds in the cold wind, hugging each other and still shivering.
Some Tartars recognized them as baits, cursed and slashed at them with five long knives at the same time.
Jiang Qi and Jiang Ba shouted, each rushing to block a knife.
There are also three handles, which are aimed at the necks of the long-term workers.
At one moment, Jiang Wu rolled on the spot, holding the long sword in his right hand and the snatched machete in his left hand. He tried to block the three long knives with his own strength despite his injured back.
"Fifth sister...brother." Jiang Ba's eyes were red, "Hold on, the captain is coming soon."
Jiang Wu shook her head and said it was okay. She raised her hand and knocked away the Tartar's sharp blade. Then she turned around and cut off the Tartar's hand holding the knife behind her back.
"Ah..." Tartar screamed in pain.
Jiang Wu didn't change his expression. He threw the long knife with his left hand and knocked the Tartar off his horse.
Those years of hardship are not in vain. Those who are cruel to themselves will only be more cruel to their enemies.
She is obviously a beautiful girl, but she has to survive in the military camp as a man. Although there are brothers and sisters helping to cover, Jiang Wu's ruthlessness accounts for the majority.
She doesn't care whether she is a girl, she doesn't care about the cocoons in the tiger's mouth, she doesn't care about the scars on her body, she doesn't care about whether her long hair is beautiful, and she doesn't care about whether her face is old.
She just wants to prove that she is no worse than men.
She did it.
Fang Heng, who came at the fastest speed, reined in his horse and saw the gurgling blood on Jiang Wu's back. He reined up his horse angrily.
The horse neighed and raised its hooves, and took two steps forward under the influence of inertia. When it fell, it happened to run over the Tartar just now.
Amid the screams, Fang Heng held a big knife and shouted angrily, "Kill, kill me!"
If it was the delaying time of the Jiang Wu siblings before, then now it is the unilateral killing by the Dayu Dynasty army. Even with the same number of people, as long as the Tartars cannot escape, they have no chance of winning.
However, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen fierce men were injured or dead, and only one person was left, fleeing on horseback in embarrassment, but it was only the end of his efforts.
Because Fang Heng had already drawn the bow and arrow behind him, aiming it at his back.
With the sound of arrows piercing the air, the Tartars fell to the ground and made no sound again.
Everyone in the 10th team cheered happily. Some collected weapons, some moved corpses, and some dragged horses.
That's what war is like.
With a limited amount of iron ore, being able to equip all soldiers in the military camp with long knives has drained most of the treasury.
However, in every war, many long swords are used and many people die.
In order to save resources, the complete knives were picked up and used again, the broken blades were brought to the blacksmith for re-casting, the best horses were taken back for use, and the dead ones could be skinned and eaten.
But these are not the biggest gains.
Fang Heng was sitting on the horse, looking at the trembling Wang Xiaosong and the other three, and his eyes were astonishingly bright as he remembered the key to luring the enemy deeper.
Taking a detailed look at the years of friction between the Chongqing Dynasty and the Tartars, they have used every trick to lure the enemy in, and most of them ended in failure.
why?
Because it's not real enough.
Wang Xiaosong and others can be used as bait because they are really transporting goods, are really afraid, and are really running for their lives.
All illusions can only deceive fools. Only true behavior can attract the Tartars and lure the enemy deeper.
On the basis of refusing to use ordinary people as bait, the soldiers were allowed to live like ordinary people, transporting goods, quarreling, bickering, and bragging.
It's not just a temporary pretense, nor is it a role play, but let them really do it and become ordinary people to attract the pursuit of the Tartars.
Years of trouble seemed to have come to an end.
Fang Heng is sitting on the horse. The young man is heroic and ambitious. His eyes are as bright as stars, looking into the distance.
In two different directions, a young man drawing a map with ambitions in all directions, and a young man sitting quietly reading and waiting for the release of the results, are like three bright stars rising.
Their position just outlines a triangle.
Sensing their younger brother's gaze, Zheng Ruqian and Xu Mo looked up at the same time.
One saw the weak Prince Liu Fufeng who came to send the letter in person.
A sister stared at the sister who broke in through the door, with doubtful expressions on her face.
"Brother, the list is released." Jiang Sheng gritted his teeth and said in a difficult tone, "But you are not on the list."
