Chapter 138 Two young men fall into the magic palm of the Tartars

Discovering that the large Tatar troops were moving south quickly, Chi Hu and others rushed to Xu Xingxia, and they all gasped and said with relief: "Sir, the Tatars seem to have retreated, we have won!"

Xu Xingxia shook her head calmly and said slowly: "The Tartars did not retreat. They went south to attack our reinforcements. Tell the people below that we cannot relax our vigilance. If the Tartars kill a backlash, we will suffer a lot."

Chi Hu said hesitantly: "The Tartars still have to attack our reinforcements? So many people have been killed by the Tartars, but they have not retreated yet, and they still want to attack our reinforcements? They only have a few hundred people now, so how dare they provoke our reinforcements?"

Xu Xingxia nodded with a serious expression and said slowly: "Chi Hu, you have never stayed in the army and don't know the combat effectiveness of the army. Compared with the Tatar cavalry, our army's combat effectiveness is indeed a scumbag! The Tatars suffered such a huge loss and would not withdraw easily. If they suffered losses from us, they would definitely find ways to make it back from other places. The outside world is the world of the Tatars!"

Chi Hu and others all looked dark and felt a little ashamed. Yes, the reason why they were able to defeat the Tartars was the city wall of Weizhen Fort. If they had not been covered by the city wall, they would have been crushed by the Tartars' cavalry. Of course, the powerful explosive pack also played a key role. But these two things were not used in field battles. Once they fought with the Tartar cavalry, they were indeed inferior to even the scum.

"Chi Hu, collect the Tartars' corpses and prepare to win the battle." Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment, then cheered up and said in a deep voice. No matter what the result of the other Ming army's battle, the military achievements of Weizhen Fort could not be escaped. It is estimated that three or four hundred Tartars should have been killed in the city walls around Weizhen Fort. This is all white money!

"Okay!" Chi Hu and others immediately went excited. In this battle, hundreds of Tartars were knocked down. This military achievement was indeed heavy and no one could erase it. Perhaps some Tartars had no bones left. However, I believe that there are still three hundred Tartars' heads. The three hundred Tartars' heads, which would be exchanged for silver, would be nine thousand taels of silver! This is a lot of money.

More importantly, after this battle, Chi Hu and others could wear white cloaks as they wished. Several stars could even be embroidered on the white cloak. Just now, Chi Hu himself threw five explosive packs with his own hands, and exploded the Tartars under the city walls to cry and cry. Hearing the Tartars screaming, it was simply indescribable.

"Squeak!"

The heavy fort gate opened, and Chi Hu, Mao Shisan and others flocked out to collect the Tartars' bodies. The military households in Weizhen Fort also came out to help. After being besieged by the Tartars for half a month, the military households finally found a chance to vent. Even Xu Fuqing limped out of the city with a crutch. Liu Daming, who was a little confused, also took a sickle to help cut the Tartars' heads.

The corpses of the Tartars were spread all over the four directions of Weizhen Fort. A considerable number of the Tartars were blown into pieces, and it was quite difficult to collect them all. Moreover, some of the Tartars were not completely dead and were struggling in pain. However, their struggles did not need to continue. The military households in Weizhen Fort would send them all to hell in the fastest way.

In order to prevent the Tartars from returning, Xu Xingxia of course personally stationed on the city tower. At this time, there were only a few people on the city tower. Old Taoist Tang Chen naturally disappeared. Zhu Hengzhi wanted to leave, but in the end she was a little reluctant. Her eyes were still nostalgic on Xu Xingxia. She slowly saw Xu Xingxia's side and said softly: "Xu Baihu, it's true that she is young and promising. I'm afraid that the Tartars will be hurt in this battle, right?"

Xu Xingxia looked back at her and saw that her lips were red and white, with beautiful and charming, and she was indeed quite pleasing to the eye. She said a little lazy: "What? I want to give me a special reward?"

Zhu Hengzhi avoided his inappropriate gaze, smiled slightly, and said softly: "If you win a battle, you will naturally be rewarded. What can I reward you? What reward do you need from me?"

Xu Xingxia shook her head and said lightly: "I don't expect the reward from the superior. Even you can tell that the superior doesn't like me. It would be great if they don't blame me for attracting the Tartars, what else would they give me?"

Zhu Hengzhi frowned and said, "Blame you for attracting the Tartars? Is it a mistake to take the initiative to annihilate the invading Tartars? What is the reason?"

Xu Xingxia said lightly: "I don't know what the reason is. However, this does exist. If you win a battle, it doesn't mean it's a good thing. Some people are probably already secretly annoyed that I'm having trouble. Maybe after this battle, I will be exiled."

Zhu Hengzhi's brows frowned even more. It seemed that she was a little incomprehensible about Xu Xingxia's fallacies. After a while, she said softly: "Who is going to be sent to you? Is it Li Maohui or Li Guozhen?"

Xu Xingxia smiled and said casually: "Where do you need to bother the two adults? I am just a small hundred household. As long as I have any thousand households, I can throw me into the valley. Even if I die for a hundred years, no one will notice it. If I disobey my orders, it is the following who commits the crime and they can enforce military laws. At that time, unless I rebel, I will have to wait to go to prison!"

Zhu Hengzhi frowned and said, "According to what you said, there is no light of day in Ningxia Town?"

Xu Xingxia smiled coldly and said disapprovingly: "When did Ningxia Town have a sunny day? Why don't I know? Have you seen the sunny day in Ningxia Town?"

Zhu Hengzhi frowned and thought about it, thinking that this topic was difficult to discuss. She always felt that Xu Xingxia was too "angry young" and too extreme. For such a person, she needed good guidance and education, and could not go against him, nor could she stimulate him. She staggered the topic and said, "What is the thing you threw down just now?"

Xu Xingxia casually said: "Explosive pack. Very simple tool to defend the city."

Zhu Hengzhi said with interest: "How did it be made? How do you use it?"

Xu Xingxia looked at her with a smile, shook her head and said, "This is a murderous thing. You are a girl, it's not a good thing to know. I won't tell you!"

Zhu Hengzhi said a little disappointedly: "Are you just cherishing yourself like this?"

Xu Xingxia shook her head and said, "I'm not a treasure, I really don't want to let you, a girl, get so much blood. War is a matter for men, and women should go away. In fact, you shouldn't appear in Weizhen Castle at all."

Zhu Hengzhi couldn't help but say, "Why are you so repulsive to me?"

Xu Xingxia raised four fingers and said with a stern look: "First, you didn't tell me your true identity. Your origin is unknown and your motivation is impure. Second, I don't like your master. Third, you say too much. Fourth, you know too much."

Zhu Hengzhi said with a giggle and cry: "Is it a mistake to know too much?"

Xu Xingxia said shamelessly: "Of course! A woman without talent is virtue. If you are so talented, it is a violation of this rule. Which man is willing to have a woman who is more talented than you? Be careful not to get married in the future!"

Zhu Hengzhi's face turned slightly red, as if she wanted to argue something, but in the end she gave up. She said habitually: "Xu Xingxia, you really can't spit out ivory from your mouth! Humph, if I can't get married, you don't want to marry a wife!"

After saying that, her face turned redder and she went away with a little anger.

"Tsk! You're angry again!" Xu Xingxia curled her lips indifferently, and did not stop her from leaving. He continued to serve on the city wall until most of the Tartar corpses were collected. When the fort gate of Weizhen Fort was closed again, Xu Xingxia came down from the city wall. Mao Shisan was the one who took over him.

According to Yu Lijun's statistics, a total of 325 corpses of Tartars were collected. In addition to the corpses of Tartars, about 140 war horses were collected. In addition, more than 5,000 taels of broken silver were collected on the corpses of Tartars, and a considerable amount of gold, silver jewelry, gems and antiques.

It is estimated that the Tatar cavalry have plundered everywhere in the past half month. There are blood on some gold and silver jewelry, and the original owner has probably been killed. Every time the Tatars go south, it will cause great harm to the people of Ningxia Town, and this time it is the same. However, this time, they have never returned.

"Okay! Lao Yu, prepare to repay the merits!" Xu Xingxia ordered excitedly.

"Abide by the order!" Yu Lijun responded with a stern expression and immediately began to copy the battle report.

That night, the glutinous rice fields in Weizhen Fort were singing and dancing, and were very lively. The military households celebrated the victory of the battle in their own way. In this battle, three or four hundred Tartars were killed. There was not even a single injured person in Weizhen Fort itself. No one could have imagined such a miracle. However, since the Tartars had not yet gone far, everyone could not celebrate it. After about an hour of trouble, they dispersed.

Xu Xingxia returned to the military camp and prepared to have a good sleep. These days, his nerves were actually very tense. In his previous life, he was just an otaku and had no combat experience. This time, the Tartars went south in a big way, and the test for him was also very serious. Several times, he felt overwhelmed. Fortunately, he finally managed to survive.

With experience in this battle, Xu Xingxia has a deeper understanding of the war. His psychological tolerance has also been greatly enhanced. Even a team of thousands of Tartars could not handle a small Weizhen Fort. He was also full of confidence in the future.

Mao Shisan suddenly rushed over and whispered: "Sir, something happened!"

Xu Xingxia was about to take off her clothes and take a shower. When she heard this, she had to put on her clothes again. She frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Mao Shisan said anxiously: "A group of scattered soldiers came from outside the fort, saying that they were disbanded by the Tartars. They wanted to enter Weizhen Fort to take refuge, and said that the Tartars would follow them and could catch up with them at any time. They were not opponents of the Tartars."

Xu Xingxia said to herself: "There is such a thing?"

He hurriedly went up the city tower with Mao Shisan and saw it out by the fire. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen Ming soldiers outside. Judging from their clothes and outfits, they should be soldiers from Ningxia City. Xu Xingxia carefully identified their faces and was sure that they were not pretending to be Tartars. Mao Shisan, Chi Hu and others also looked carefully, but they didn't think they were spies from Tartars.

"Open the fort door!"

"Let them in!"

Xu Xingxia said coldly.

Soon, the heavy fort gate was opened, and the Ming army scattered soldiers outside hurriedly rode in. They came to Xu Xingxia, turned over and dismounted, and saluted respectfully. It can be seen that they were indeed quite frightened. They were indeed embarrassed. There were two wounded soldiers, both shot by the Tartars' arrows.

After both sides reported their identities, the two Ming soldiers who led the leadership, one was Zhang Feng and the other was Wang Xia. The officers of the war soldiers were probably equivalent to the hundred households of the garrison army, and even a little higher than the hundred households of the garrison army. Of course, in front of Xu Xingxia, they did not dare to show off. Weizhen Fort was Xu Xingxia's territory.

Xu Xingxia asked cautiously: "What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Feng said in pain: "It's over, it's over, it's over."

Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Have you been ambushed by the Tartars?"

At that time, he felt that the Tartars must have looked for opportunities to seek compensation and lost the losses. The Tartars could not bear the big losses. They suffered a great loss in Weizhen Fort and must have to make up for it from another place. The Ming army who came to reinforce from Ningxia City was likely to be ambushed by the Tartars. However, he thought so too, and did not take it seriously.

After all, the Ming army who came to reinforce should also be very clear that they might be ambushed by the Tartars, and they would definitely be very careful along the way and would not be ambushed easily by the Tartars. But now, they were still ambushed. Xu Xingxia had no other thoughts except for expressing contempt for the command ability of the Ming generals who led the army.

After pondering for a while, Xu Xingxia asked, "Who is your commander?"

When talking about this issue, Zhang Feng and Wang Xia both looked a little depressed. After a while, Wang Xiacai said in a stiff tone: "My commander is Mr. Li Yunrui and Mr. Li. His commander is Mr. Li Canran and Mr. Li. We were originally very cautious in marching and would not be attacked by the Tartars, but the two princes kept urging us to speed up the marching speed, but the result..."

Xu Xingxia said in surprise: "What's going on? Why did they lead the army?"

No wonder he was surprised. The commander of the army was Li Yunrui and Li Canran! It was simply nonsense! When could these two playboys be able to command the war soldiers? No wonder the Tartars attacked easily. It turned out that they encountered two embroidered pillows. Alas, what are you saying? Don’t say anything anymore.

Zhang Feng and Wang Xia both hung their heads and did not speak.

Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "What about them?"

Zhang Feng lowered his head and said in distress: "When we escaped, all the troops had collapsed. The Tartars kept chasing them. It was probably because they were captured by the Tartars."

Xu Xingxia frowned immediately. The governor and the general officer's son were captured by the Tartars. What's the matter? The Tartars had no ability to turn the tide, but with the two young men in hand, they might cause some storms. Alas, this is really... one wave has not been settled and the other has started again!

Wang Xia whispered: "Xu Baihu, I heard that the two young men seemed to have heard that there was a very beautiful girl named Zhu Hengzhi in Weizhen Castle. They wanted to come to Weizhen Castle and flatter Miss Zhu Hengzhi, but they were unlucky to meet Tartars..."

Zhang Feng also said depressedly: "It seems that the news was reported by a deputy Qianjia of your garrison army. What is it called Zhang... Qiuqing... That's right, it's Zhang Qiuqing! This old guy killed us. Damn, when I see him, I have to beat him up!"

Xu Xingxia laughed silently. Damn, the whole story is like this. Zhu Hengzhi was actually a beauty, which made the two young men in Ningxia Town very moved. As a result, they all fell into the hands of the Tartars. If they didn't know the truth, Xu Xingxia really couldn't understand why the two young men were so active.

However, Zhu Hengzhi does have the ability to be a beauty. Her beauty, her voice, smile, and her knowledge are all first-class. Ordinary men will feel sore and soft when they see her. Fortunately, I saw too many beauties in my previous life, and I have practiced to the point where I have not touched my body. I did not suffer any loss when I saw her.

Stopped the random thoughts in his mind, Xu Xingxia shouted casually: "Come here!"

Chen Shouwang came in and said respectfully: "Sir, what are your instructions?"

Xu Xingxia casually said, "Take them down to rest first. Prepare the meal and give them full. In addition, ask Dr. Dong to heal their wounds. If you have any needs, you can come to me at any time."

Chen Shouwang agreed and took Zhang Feng, Wang Xia and others down.

After everyone left, Xu Xingxia couldn't help but frown and paced back and forth on the street. If what Zhang Feng said was indeed true, Ningxia Town would be in trouble this time. The sons of the governor and the general officer both fell into the clutches of the Tartars. This is probably a strange story. I wonder what the two adults will deal with it?
