Chen Kan made the final decision, which immediately made Cheng Feng unhappy.
Unfortunately, he did not dare to yell at Chen Kan and could only look at Fang Xu with dissatisfied eyes.
Fang Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him now, and turned around and walked out of the tent first.
The soldiers were divided into two groups, taking turns to rest among themselves, guarding against pursuers who might appear at any time.
As for Chen Kan, he fell into sleep again.
Early the next morning, when the scouts came back to report, the Tatar reinforcements were only thirty miles away from the tribe, and the remnants of the pursuer who fought with Chen Kan's soldiers last night were He did not retreat, but when there was a faint tendency to form an encirclement with the reinforcements, Chen Kan could only yawn, and continued to flee with his soldiers.
Chen Kan had to admit that the Tatar pursuers were indeed very patient.
At noon, Chen Kan and Mingjun had already moved a hundred miles away, but the five thousand Tatar reinforcements were still biting everyone's back.
Several times, Chen Kan couldn't help but think about turning around and killing them.
But thinking about my current situation, I had no choice but to suppress this impulsive thought.
Cheng Feng has been angry because Chen Kan chose Fang Xu's suggestion.
In the end, Chen Kan really couldn't stand his bad face, so he simply sent him to lead the scouts to explore the road.
Anyway, he is good at riding and can run fast.
Such days did not last long. On the seventh day, Chen Kan and his Ming army officers were still blocked by a Tatar army.
This army is small in number. It seems that it has just completed some mission and is preparing to go south to support the border between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty.
Then, the unsuspecting sides caught up.
Cheng Feng stood on horseback and boasted to everyone with a stern expression on how wise he was to finally lead this Tatar team into their encirclement.
Chen Kan's face twitched when he heard this. Although they had successfully left the Tatar pursuers behind in the past seven days, who knew where the Tatar army would appear from.
He had tried every means to avoid the Tatar scouts, but now that Cheng Feng, a fool, had done this, all his previous efforts had been wasted.
But now is not the time to punish Cheng Feng. The most important thing at the moment is to quickly deal with this Tatar cavalry.
The Tatar cavalry on the opposite side were instantly confused after seeing a Ming army suddenly appear here.
Marching on the grassland, since it was their home field, they did not send out scouts to explore the road at all.
After all, this is deep in the grassland, their base camp, and it is impossible for enemies to appear.
But...the appearance of this Ming army caught them off guard.
Could it be that Abu in the south has been defeated by me?
The enemy's commander: "My family, who knows? I went out to perform a mission and found that the enemy came to my house."
Hearing that Cheng Feng was still bragging about how he used a strategy to lead this Tatar team into the encirclement, Chen Kan suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "Cheng Feng!"
"The end will be here."
Cheng Feng still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and he still had the same smiling expression when he answered.
Chen Kan breathed out weakly and said in a cold voice: "Since you are the one who brought this person here, it is up to you to take care of it. If you dare to let a Tatar escape, I will skin you!"
"Got the order!"
Hearing Chen Kan's words, Cheng Feng suddenly smiled. This was what he was waiting for.
He came to the grassland just to kill the Tatars, and it was like being chased by the Tatars all the time.
Cheng Feng waved his hand, and five hundred cavalrymen separated from the queue and rushed towards the Tatar army with him.
At first, when the Tatars saw the Ming army on the opposite side, they were still uneasy.
But when he saw that the Ming army general with five hundred people dared to charge towards his own side, his uneasy mood was instantly replaced by shame and anger.
I really thought that the warriors on the grassland were made of mud. They just came in and wandered around in the grassland arrogantly, but they actually dared to charge towards them.
Which one is intolerable? My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can't.
Mongolian: "My sons, follow me and kill all these intruders who dare to break into the grassland."
The commander of this cavalry had an ugly face that looked both ashamed and angry. The grassland was the grassland of the Mongols. When did it become the back garden of the Ming Dynasty?
In his opinion, A Bu who let this Ming army enter the grassland deserved death, and those trash on the border who couldn't even stop two thousand people deserved to die even more.
Shame can only be washed away by blood.
So he launched a charge in Cheng Feng's direction without hesitation.
Mongolian: "A group of two-legged sheep actually tried to charge at the noble prairie warriors. You will know later that the steel swords in the warriors' hands are not vegetarian."
The general looked at Cheng Feng who was getting closer and closer to him with disdain.
Dare to rush over with such a small number of people. Do these two-legged sheep think they can fight hand-to-hand with the brave prairie warriors?
Cheng Feng took off his spear from the saddle while charging. The next moment, the formation of the Ming army suddenly changed. The originally chaotic formation suddenly spread out and wrapped around the Tatar cavalry like a rope.
When the Tatar general saw this, his face was even more disdainful. The general of the Ming army opposite him was obviously a fool. He didn't even understand the most basic formation of a cavalry charge.
If they spread out like this, wouldn't that create opportunities for them to massacre?
"idiot!"
He turned around and looked at the prairie warriors who formed a cone-shaped formation and charged with himself as the head of the awl. He seemed to have seen his awl piercing the Ming army's formation fiercely.
When the time comes, he must use the most cruel methods to torture them and make them kneel in front of him to perform the sheep-raising ceremony.
Just when the two sides were three hundred steps away, he suddenly discovered that the Ming army had an extra black iron pipe in their hands.
But he didn't care. What was the use of lifting the iron pipe now? Even the most elite archer couldn't shoot the arrow that far at a distance of three hundred steps.
What's more, he didn't find any archers in the Ming army.
"Bang~"
Suddenly, he heard a crisp sound.
He raised his head subconsciously. There was no cloud in the sky, no thunder?
Where did this sound come from?
The moment he lowered his head, he seemed to feel something warm in his chest.
"This is?"
He reached out and touched a warm place. It was sticky and warm, and seemed to be blood.
"Am I bleeding?"
Before he could say any more words, a sharp pain came from his chest.
"Bang bang bang~"
The next second, gunfire sounded like raindrops, but he could no longer hear or see it.
The last thing he saw before he died was that of him falling from his horse.
A warrior on the grassland will never leave his horse, let alone fall off his horse, unless he has died in battle.
Yes, he died in battle, just before he was about to rush into the Ming army's formation.
The distance of three hundred steps became a natural chasm.
Then, the cone-shaped formation that made all prairie warriors proud became the most obvious target for massacre by the Ming army.
The soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion were no strangers to fire guns, and mounted shooting was their specialty, so they rarely had empty bullets.
As for some Tatars who survived after being shot, that doesn't matter, as long as they get shot again.
In just half an hour, only a thousand war horses and a thousand corpses were left on the scene.
Cheng Fengzhi returned to the army with his soldiers proudly. He gave a military salute to Chen Kan and said loudly: "Master Marquis, you are fortunate to have lived up to your command!"
But what greeted him was Chen Kan's whip.
"Pa~"
With this whip, Chen Kan struck Cheng Feng in the face without any hesitation.
In an instant, a line of blood stretched from the corner of Cheng Feng's eyebrows to his chin. Cheng Feng was stunned by the sudden whip.
He looked at Chen Kan with disbelief on his face.
He didn't understand why the Marquis had such an expression even though he had clearly won the battle.
Chen Kan frowned and rode away, while Cheng Feng remained stunned.
Zhou Shi turned his horse's head and walked up to him, and asked calmly: "Not convinced?"
Cheng Feng nodded first, then shook his head.
Zhou Shi had a look of hatred on his face, and said angrily: "Do you know there are pursuers behind us?"
Cheng Feng nodded numbly: "I know."
Zhou Shi became even more angry and said angrily: "I knew you had put the Tatars in front of the Marquis before you came to report them. Do you want to kill all the brothers?"
Cheng Feng said angrily: "But they only have a thousand people."
"Yes, they only have a thousand people, but you have to understand that this is the grassland, not our Ming Dynasty!"
Zhou Shi was also angry, and his roar instantly spread throughout the army.
Chen Kan glared at this side coldly, and then said calmly: "Before entering the grassland, I did not emphasize the importance of military law to you. Now I emphasize it here. Anyone who does not respect the general's orders will be killed."
The word "kill" came out, and all the soldiers couldn't help but shiver under the bright sun.
Chen Kan continued: "Here at this lord, it is best to put away your tricks that will not be tolerated by foreign military orders."
Chen Kan's voice was not loud, but it still reached everyone's ears clearly.
Zhou Shi didn't know how he comforted Cheng Feng. After Chen Kan announced the military law, he reluctantly chased after Chen Kan on horseback and said angrily: "Master Marquis, I finally realized that I was wrong."
Chen Kan twitched the corner of his mouth and wanted to scold him, but in the end he let out a long sigh.
To be honest, Cheng Feng's performance on the grassland these days can be said to be outstanding.
He and Fang Xu made up for Chen Kan's many shortcomings in both literature and martial arts.
But what happened today, Cheng Feng's behavior really disappointed Chen Kan.
He could understand Cheng Feng's feeling of wanting to kill happily, but Cheng Feng could not understand his feeling of being responsible for the lives of the two thousand soldiers under his command. This is where they differ.
After a moment, Chen Kan said calmly: "If you have any ideas, you can discuss them with me. I will adopt the correct suggestions, but please don't make your own decisions again. Otherwise, I am definitely not trying to scare you by talking about engaging in military law." .”
