After a while, a group of people crowded into the small cave.
Because the cave was a little small, it could only accommodate dozens of people, so the horses had no choice but to be tied outside.
Fortunately, they all put a layer of sheepskin jackets on their horses, so the lee of the hillside was not in the way.
But making a fire was a problem. The firewood found nearby was a little damp. As a last resort, I used a dagger to cut off some wool from my coat and then managed to raise the bonfire.
With the fire burning, several people smacked their lips and began to miss the kumiss and hot mutton soup.
However, we often camped outdoors before, so it was easy to have fun. Some people had already started to make a fire and chat about dirty jokes.
Some people used their own iron pots to fill up the snow outside, and then placed it in front of the campfire to bake.
There is no goat soup, horse milk wine, milk tea, so I can drink a whole pot of hot tea.
The conditions are difficult, and a little something can satisfy them.
However, just as they burst into bursts of laughter from time to time, behind a pile of rocks less than ten meters away from their cave, a large group of dark figures were lying nearby.
The snow on their bodies gave them a natural protective color. Some of them had blood stains on their bodies, and a few people on the periphery were holding ten horses and squatting nearby.
Yes, they had already dealt with the ten patrolling knights nearby, surprisingly smoothly.
When they came over, the ten horsemen were not patrolling in the open area at all, but were gathering together at a leeward opening.
This undoubtedly gave Wang Er and the others a huge opportunity.
Because most of the team members were brothers from the Song Suppressing Army, they were fine with guns, but not very efficient with bows.
If you want to avoid alerting the opponent, the best way is to use a bow.
But in the face of such heavy snow, the visual range does not exceed fifty meters, and ordinary archers with half a bucket of water cannot accurately hit these ten people despite the wind.
I had no choice but to touch it cautiously.
Fortunately, the wind and snow were so strong that the ten people were busy gathering together to keep warm or chatting, and they didn't even pay attention to the dozen or so men who came over and were covered in snow.
By the time they realized it, the distance was already less than ten meters.
The distance of ten meters was still too far. I thought that with the help of horses, the other party could easily distance themselves and even give the other party time to report the news.
But Wang Er was once again shocked by the Outer Mongolians.
I don't know if the other party thought that there was no threat to the dozen of them without horses, but these ten people actually rushed over on horses.
Normally, they would not be able to defeat this group of Outer Mongolians who are strong and skilled in equestrian skills.
But everyone is wearing cotton armor, they can make many mistakes, and one for the Outer Mongolians is enough to kill them!
Wang Er was able to deal with these ten people without any danger. Wang Er was thankful that the investigation force here was very weak. A brother from the periphery told him that there were dozens of Outer Mongolians gathered nearby.
Hearing this, Wang Er broke out in a cold sweat.
Just looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Er's mouth twitched.
These Mongolian people really know how to enjoy it!
With a soft hum in his heart, he calmly waved his hands to the brothers lying on the left and right sides.
The brothers understood and leaned forward with their waists hunched over.
The advancing area was just blocked by a group of horses outside the cave, and the cave did not notice anything.
A horse outside was quietly followed.
If this were normal, he would definitely be noticed, but with such a heavy snowstorm at the moment, it would be difficult to detect it even if he wanted to.
Occasionally, some wind blew into the cave, and there were bursts of whistling sounds. Added to the laughter and chatter of everyone in the cave, the sounds outside seemed to be blocked.
Time passed little by little, and changes suddenly occurred.
After taking away more than a dozen horses, when the thirteenth horse arrived, the horse was actually more alert than its owner. It started to shake and neigh when being dragged by a stranger.
"what's the situation?"
\"No! Someone stole the horse?!\"
When they vaguely saw the movement outside, the Outer Mongolians were all shocked.
Someone actually stole a horse in this winter?
Wait, that’s not right!
"You're so damn good at stealing your mother! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Company commander Shan Zhi was frightened and angry. He picked up the bow next to him and shot an arrow as soon as he could.
Swish, brush, brush!
Almost as soon as he took out the bow, a group of people holding guns suddenly stood up from under a pile of rubble not more than ten meters away.
Bang bang bang!
There was a burst of smoke and sparks and a series of gunshots.
The fire was radiating, and in an instant, more than a dozen people fell to the ground on their backs.
They were gathered so densely that Shan Zhi's eyes were splitting as he looked at the fallen brothers.
But it quickly turned to despair.
Because the first round of salvo ended, the people in the opposite row quickly squatted down, and a group of people in the second row with guns stood up, and another continuous gunshot sounded.
After a few rounds, they occasionally fought back sporadicly, but soon almost all of them lay on the ground like dead dogs.
Shan Zhi lay shivering on the pile of corpses, his hand tightly clenching the saber beside him.
He stared upward at the group of dark figures outside. As long as they came in, he would kill one of them.
Despicable southerners!
But gradually he froze, because these people had no intention of coming in at all.
As soon as one of them waved his hand, a large group of people outside began to turn over and mount their beloved horses.
Almost all rode in pairs, and then the group of people walked away without even looking at the cave.
"This...this..."
It wasn't until the other party completely disappeared in the snow that Shan Zhi got up from the pile of corpses.
Seeing that there were only messy horse hoof prints and human footprints not far away, Shan Zhi was messy in the wind.
At this moment, several other smarter brothers got up and looked at each other at a loss.
"Boss! They... they are not going to..."
An Outer Mongolian warrior seemed to have thought of something, but Shan Zhi already felt dizzy without his reminding.
"Quick! Let's go! We must rush back as soon as possible!!! These southerners are crazy!"
Shan Zhi roared loudly, picked up his weapon and started walking out.
It's just that two legs can't run better than four legs. As for whether the gunshot just fired will alert the station.
It's completely unnecessary to think about it, it's simply impossible.
In such a heavy snowstorm, unless the cannons are firing here, no matter how fiercely you fire, you won't be able to hear anything from the other side.
After all, this place is one or two miles away from the station.
He could only hope that there were other scout brothers nearby who were investigating.
It's just that he may have thought too wonderfully.
Geer was not very interested in the speculation about the leader of the Heyan flag, so he thought of taking a shot if there was no date.
Since a team of 100 people has been sent out, in this terrible weather and it is behind the station, there is no need to send more people.
The nearest sentinel point is one mile away.
And it was less than five hundred meters away from the station.
"Strange!"
Wang Er, who was already riding his horse in the direction of the Outer Mongolia garrison, was also confused.
