The deputy pastor was still very puzzled, but he could only do as he was told.
However, as the large army turned around, a sound like a swarm of bees came from high in the distance again, which soon turned into a scream.
It seems that everything is happening again, but this time the distance between the two has been shortened to two hundred meters.
Accompanied by a whistling sound, there was a series of muffled hums from the Shangdu Department.
In an instant, dozens and nearly a hundred people fell off their horses, and now everyone turned around and ran faster.
Upon noticing this anomaly, the deputy pastor had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"Shepherd...Chief Shepherd...could this be..."
"Don't you know yet? They're Outer Mongolians! We've met Outer Mongolians!"
One Eye spoke coldly, and as soon as he said these words, the deputy pastor also suddenly understood.
No wonder!
No wonder there is such a terrifying range!
The situation was so urgent just now that he didn't think about it in detail, but now he has figured it all out.
At a distance of about three hundred meters, the opponent was able to shoot to death the few scouts and also injured several tribal warriors.
Now that the distance is two hundred meters, it can still shoot this far. This is not a coincidence.
You must know that the range of bows and arrows of various tribes in their grasslands is basically only about 100 meters.
One hundred meters has a certain lethality regardless of accuracy, and the further away the lethality drops exponentially.
And this is a walking bow. If it is a riding bow, its range is only 50 meters and it is lethal.
They usually come with two bows as standard.
But there is one difference, and that is Outer Mongolia.
They used Manchurian bows, which had an exaggerated range and terrifying lethality.
But where are they now? Why did you suddenly meet an Outer Mongolian?
Little did he know that this was all a good team led by him. If you look down at the route map they took when they first came, you can see that they have completely gone around in a big circle.
Not only did they bypass the Huozhongtun and Pingqiantun lines, but they also bypassed the Maoming'anbu line and went directly to its rear, almost leaving the border.
The team quickly passed by the sheep, and the brothers who were originally driving the sheep hesitated for a moment and joined the fleeing queue amidst the shouts of their companions.
There were still a few who really couldn't bear to part with the sheep and stayed where they were, but they were quickly shot into pieces by subsequent arrows.
From a distance, two large armies were running rapidly, one behind the other, but as time passed, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
"Chief Shepherd! No, how about we fight with them?"
The deputy shepherd shouted anxiously, they had been traveling for a day and a night, and now the man was tired and the horse was tired. People can still hold on, but horses can't increase their speed. In the end, they can only be caught up by the opponent.
"Huh!"
Suddenly the one-eyed man let out a light moan. The deputy pastor was stunned and followed the other person's gaze, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
On the outskirts of Maoming'an and Darhan tribes, patrolling herdsmen gather and chat with each other from time to time.
For a large tribe like theirs, it is normal to arrange for routine patrols every day. On the one hand, they are on guard against trouble caused by the other tribe. On the one hand, we are also wary of possible external threats.
It's just that after so many years, it has always been relatively safe, so the herdsmen patrolling at this time are relatively loose.
Everyone occasionally gathers together to chat with each other. As for men, most of the chat topics are about women.
Just as they were chatting, the two herdsmen from the Maoming'an Department felt something was wrong.
Similarly, the herdsmen from the Darkhan tribe on the opposite side seemed to sense something was wrong, and then the two herdsmen made the same move in unison.
They dismounted suspiciously and carefully observed the snow on the ground with the torches they held.
The wind and snow had stopped at this time, but upon looking at it, I found that the snow on the ground was shaking slightly.
The tremor was very subtle, and they looked at it several times before they were sure they were right.
Several patrolling herdsmen looked at each other suspiciously, and immediately ran in the direction of their respective tribes.
Just as I was running, the sudden vibration became more and more obvious.
One person couldn't help but look back, and was immediately frightened to death.
I saw a large black spot suddenly appearing on the pure white snowfield in the distance. These black spots gathered into a group, like a piece of black ink dizzying a large piece of white rice paper into black.
And it began to spread rapidly toward them.
Mongols? ! !
This is the first thought. After all, the people coming from the north can only be Outer Mongolians!
But...why is there no news at all?
But before they could run back to their respective tribes, the front group of the other party quickly passed them by.
Then, under the astonished eyes of the two patrolling herdsmen, the follow-up force crossed through the several miles of land vacated between them.
During this period, there was no sign of spreading the attack towards the two of them.
Wang Beibei, Beishan, and even Baoshan, who had just returned to his tribe, were also attracted by the violent shaking outside, and they all rode out to check the situation.
"The Mongolians are coming!!"
"The Mongols are coming in!!!"
Almost as soon as everyone came out to check the situation, the people from the Shangdu Department who passed by along the way began to yell at the top of their lungs.
In an instant, the faces of Baoshan, Beishan, Wang Bei and Qi Qi changed drastically.
Especially Beishan and Wang Beibei looked particularly stunned.
Because according to the original plan, even if Outer Mongolia took action, it would be tomorrow night, and they would have to penetrate from the northeast and kill directly towards the front line of Pingqiantun.
But now everything has changed.
"Is this a good thing you did?! How on earth did you tell the Outer Mongolians?" Beishan stared at Wang Beibei fiercely.
Wang Beibei was also confused. After hearing this, he quickly retorted, "Old man, I just told you what you asked me to say. I definitely didn't lie! It's because they Outer Mongolians don't follow martial ethics! They want to eat them all!!!"
Whoosh!
But as they spoke.
An arrow flew in a parabolic arc, pop, and the next moment a herdsman behind him grunted, and an arrow penetrated the back of his neck directly into his front throat.
And this arrow is like a signal, without waiting for the others to react, swish swish!
The sound of densely packed arrows piercing the air resounded, and the continuous and dense sound was like a swarm of bees attacking.
Looking back, it seemed like a rain of black arrows was falling from the sky.
Whistle rustle! ~
As the dense arrows sank into the snow, several patrolling herdsmen on the periphery were shot into sieves by the covering rain of arrows.
The situation of the herdsmen of the Darhan tribe patrolling in the other direction was similar, and they fell to the ground almost at the same time.
However, the chaos continued, and many tribal herdsmen were just getting up. Some of them didn't even put on their coats before rushing out to call out to other sleeping companions.
But before I had taken a few steps, whoosh whoosh! ~
Covered by a dense rain of arrows, the man fell to the ground with a wailing cry.
This group of Outer Mongols came like a strong wind, and I thought that the sheep would slow down their progress.
Unexpectedly, this Outer Mongolian cavalry came directly to pursue them, without being hindered by the benefit in front of them.
At this time, the outline of the Outer Mongolians could be seen in the distance, and the two units were only less than two hundred meters apart.
At this time, a group of people including Zhao Ming, Zhang He and Monkey Wang Er were already fully armed as the two groups were rioting several miles away.
"Zhao...Master Zhao! It seems...it seems like the Outer Mongols are coming to kill us."
