Tabunan sat next to the extinguished campfire, keeping warm with the heat of the embers.

It is now the second day of the second day, and only the people who are on duty are not asleep. They are patrolling the area they are defending. The people who are patrolling do not make any sounds, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of horse hooves and the accidental coughing of people.

The bonfire is extinguished after the night, and people cook meat here, hanging the pot on the rack, heat it from a distance, then put the mutton out and cook it, cut the meat with a knife, and each person shakes out the salt from the salt bag he carries, sprinkle it on the steaming fat lamb, and then feast on it.

Tabun can easily see the collapse of people's hearts from these trivial matters... More than a month ago, the Spikes, as the most elite cavalry among the Mongolian tribes, wished they could seize any opportunity to fight against He Yusheng, or find any clues to report, and then hope that the Taiji people above would seize the opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and remove the thorns rooted in the grasslands, which were also rooted in the hearts of every dignified Mongolian.

However, after so long, the war was in unfavorable shapes everywhere, people were relaxed, and they could not live in their felt bags for a long time. The double fatigue of spirit and the best makes it difficult for people to keep cheering up... The war here in Jining Fort is very unfavorable. Every day, they are threatened by artillery on the military fort. If they are too close to Juntaidun Fort, they will be attacked. The accidental attack of the breastplate cavalry will cause the Mongols to suffer heavy losses. The Taiji people of all sizes have lost confidence, and the upper level is confused... Everyone feels discouraged, dare not attack, and cannot withdraw the siege... Zhang Han is in this military fort, and everyone knows that he will win the battle in this battle. This is the biggest goal. However, if this person dares not fight, he withdraws his troops to other places. Don't talk about others, Tabuang himself feels that if he does this, it is better to surrender directly.

Previously, the ambush was set up in the area of ​​Xiaoheihe Fort, but the Ming people were not deceived. They mobilized a large number of people to set up ambush for no reason, but they did not catch anything. They also lost many people under the raid of the Ming people. Even the son of the Khan, the future Tumote Khan Omubu Hongtaiji, was captured.

Whenever he thinks about the future Taiji becoming a prisoner at the hands of the Ming people, he might be insulted and abused, Tabunang's heart was burning like fire, and he wished he could fight the Ming people to the death immediately!

After nightfall, the subordinates took off their saddles when they were full, fed the horses, drank water, and tied the horses together to prevent them from running around. Most of them slept around the bonfire in sheepskin. Although it was summer, the grassland after nightfall was also very cold. The unobstructed terrain could not resist the coldness of the night. People were wrapped in thick fur and slept very sweetly.

Tabunam couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and stared at Jining Fort in the distance like an eagle. There was a clear light there. The Ming people were not afraid of the siege of the Mongols. Their castle did not prohibit lights. The military fort in the distance was on a high place, and the lights were like starlights, stinging Tabunam's eyes.

"Are there no good men among the Mongolians?"

Beside me, there were thunderous snoring from my friends, and fewer and fewer people were willing to make whistles from near, which also made Tabuna and others more tired. Thinking of this, Tabuna was even more sad.

"Get up and change the place to be on duty!" Tabunang rudely woke up his companions and led his subordinates to transfer to the place to be on duty. Under the night, a team of more than a dozen people quickly gathered. The Mongolian cavalry was yawning, and many people lay on the horses again, allowing Tabunang to ride the horse and lead everyone to the south.

...

During the second update, all the people in Jining Fort who followed Zhang Han out of the fort were gathered, and the military funds used were also prepared.

Every soldier wore mail. In order to save physical fitness by asking the horses, even Zhang Han did not wear breastplate or iron scale armor, and of course he did not wear cotton armor with poor protection and heavy protection. The horses had to wear face curtains and chicken necks, as well as chests. The mail weighing more than ten pounds was worn on the horse. If the knight wore heavy armor, it would be fine if he was chased from a long distance. If the horse was chased for a long distance, the lack of physical fitness would likely lead to the failure of the entire operation... Of course, it would be a catastrophic consequence.

Several entire military forts were alarmed... The weather was very cold at night, but everyone almost ran out of the warm room. The soldiers on duty were restrained by the officers and walked away, but everyone looked back and looked back. Some soldiers could not help but their eyes were red when they thought they were infantry and could not be selected for the cavalry team.

In fact, even the officers were also inspiring, but they had received better guidance and abiding by military discipline had become an unswerving creed in their bones. Otherwise, the first person to run to Zhang Han would be those officers who followed him longer and had a deeper relationship with Zhang Han.

Only then can people better understand the importance of Zhang Han to this group!

Many people dare not think about it. If this team of cavalry goes out and Zhang Han is unfortunately killed or captured, what will happen to He Yusheng next?

Almost all the officers who were not on duty stood beside Zhang Han, and people surrounded him, but they had given up persuasion. In the current situation, such a big leak occurred behind him. Zhang Han must return to solve the problem, and others cannot replace him!

Han merchants, civilians, baggage soldiers, war soldiers, and military forts were full of layers of people standing there, and people were inevitably worried.

"Sir, the journey is smooth."

"Sir, safe all the way."

"I'll wait for the good voice of my lord."

Li Xuan, Li Shouxin and others were all seeing each other off at the gate of the fort. What everyone said was nothing more than some words of prayer. The eleven people selected followed closely, and Wen Zhongfa and Bald Head led the horse in front.

Everyone has changed the best war horses. There are guns and flying swords in the left and right pockets, and there are horse guns and short guns with medicine in the right pockets... The number of short guns is still very rare now, only Zhang Han's personal guard is equipped with short guns. Even the team of Wen Zhongfa did not carry them last attack. However, many people feel that the short gun is just a melee protection and is not very useful in horse battles. It is effective to kill within twenty steps. If it is really a distance where a short gun can be used, the Beilu's bows and arrows will be extremely

The big threat... The Beilu's arrows were extremely accurate. Many Beilu could also use the continuous shooting method, that is, to shoot a considerable number of arrows in the shortest time. Within fifty steps, Beilu could shoot more than a dozen arrows in a moment, and could shoot continuously at the bull's eye. However, when fighting, the speed of movement was fast, the accuracy rate would decrease a lot. However, within twenty steps, Beilu who was good at shooting could shoot continuously, and each arrow could hit the vital points of the person's face or throat!

Three of the selected knights were Li Xuan's subordinates, and the rest were the best among the special service and field personnel. Along with Wen Zhongfa and Bald, they formed an extremely strong team.

The fort gate gradually opened, and Zhang Han and others came out one after another. The moonlight was very good tonight. Looking around, the large area of ​​Mongolian tents five miles away were clearly visible, and there were also many white shadows. They were flocks of sheep grazing outside the tent. A few miles away, the north wind blew gently on people's faces, which seemed to bring the unique smell of cattle and sheep.

Wen Zhongfa and Baldhead were riding in front of them. They were very skilled and led everyone to detour from the winding road. After they left the range of the horse-blocking wall, everyone began to gallop southwest.

"The time is here, the gun crew opens fire!"

The officers standing on the top of the city were red, and Joshua Chan was the most calm one. Seeing that the time for cooperation was up, he called out first.

Li Shouxin glanced at Joshua Chan and made a sure hand gesture.

The gun team immediately opened fire. In the middle of the night, the gun's muzzle ejected a strong tongue of light, which instantly cut through the night sky. The shells flew out after a loud noise and flew to the Mongolian camp in the distance with a scream.

Almost shortly after the sound of cannons, people shouted and neighed in the camp opposite, and the sound of trumpets were heard. Many herdsmen and cavalry woke up from their sleep, and the entire camp was in chaos.

Such scenes actually occur a few days later. Of course, it is impossible to set off artillery in Jining Fort at a fixed time. Sometimes it is morning, sometimes after noon, and sometimes it is naturally night. Even the time at night is not fixed. Under such artillery fire, the Beilu stationed at close range is of course miserable. The pressure is very high during the day and night. They can only stay away from the five-mile range as much as possible. However, in order to put pressure on the castle, they will inevitably have to stay within five miles or even within three miles. This kind of chore can only be rotated. Whenever the artillery fire sounds, the herdsmen and cavalry within the range are panicked.

Someone knows where the shells will fall... Fire at night. If you are lucky, the shells will fall hundreds of steps away. If you are not lucky, the next day, the tent that was hit by the shells will still burn, with residual fire, and then you can smell a violent stench from a distance. It is the smell of burning people and horses after being hit. The corpse and the odor are added to the smell. People who clean up the battlefield are under great mental pressure. You can often see people riding wildly in the fort city, yelling while escaping. This is because the herdsmen cannot bear the pressure to escape... Of course, the end of these people will not be very good. There are more than ten miles of tribes surrounding the surroundings, and no one can escape.

After the cannon sounded, it was almost noisy. Under the moonlight, the small cavalry team was inconspicuous. It was not until Zhang Han and others galloped out on the side of the military platform several miles away that they were discovered by the people there. The Mongolians shouted and rode their horses to chase. When the two sides were intertwined, they saw the cavalry team setting fire to fight against the fire. When they crossed at close range, several Beiliu were knocked off the horse, and the rest were forced to run sideways to stretch the distance. After the contact was like lightning, none of the cavalry team Zhang Han was in was dropped, and no horses were shot over. However, the Beiliu who came into contact with them was overturned by people and suffered a great loss.
