Chapter 030 I also want to kill a few Tartars

There are still some young women in Weizhen Fort. If the Tartars breaks through Weizhen Fort, their fate will be destined. Whether they die or live, they will never be able to clear the stains on their bodies in their lives. Instead of living in humiliation forever, they might as well die. Even a girl as young as Niu Niu is no exception.

Niu Niu? Xu Xingxia subconsciously looked at the direction of his thatched hut. He did not see Niu Niu or Dongzi. Perhaps, they should be hiding in the woodshed now. Can the woodshed protect them? Of course not. But at least, the closed space of the woodshed can give them a little psychological comfort.

Xu Xingxia took a deep breath. He felt that he should do something and must do. In the war era, women were always the most injured group. If the Tartars captured this time, such a dark scene would definitely happen again. He must do his best to prevent this tragedy from happening.

After tidying up the iron-backed bow behind him, Xu Xingxia quickly walked up the stairs, looked at the panicked crowd around him, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic everyone! There are not many people in the Tartars! I, Xu Xingxia, are here! The meritorious soldiers in Niujiaodune are also here! If everyone wants to survive, follow my command and don't run around!"

His voice was very loud and his energy was very sufficient. The loud shout could be heard by the people in Weizhen Fort. The panicked crowd slowly calmed down. It was really great to hear Xu Xingxia's calm voice in this chaos. Many people placed their only hope on Xu Xingxia.

That's right, the soldiers of Niujiaodun are all here, and they have killed more than twenty Tartars. Especially Xu Xingxia, who killed seven Tartars alone. This time, there are only thirty or forty Tartars, not much of them. With them here, Weizhen Fort will definitely be peaceful. At least, Weizhen Fort will not be broken before Xu Xingxia falls.

"Brothers of Niujiaodun, show your courage! The safety of Weizhenbao is in your hands! The safety of your parents, brothers and sisters is in your hands! If you don't want your family to suffer from the Tartars' poison, you can only sacrifice! Fight with the Tartars! If you are a corrupt, I'm sorry, you can only be slaughtered!"

"My fellow villagers in Weizhen Fort, there is nothing we can do about the Tartars! Since the superiors can't control us, we can only manage ourselves! As the saying goes, if we put it to death, we must put out twelve points of strength to survive! I now order you that as long as you can pick up weapons, you will be ready for battle! Any act of cowardly avoiding war will be punished by military law!"

Xu Xingxia's voice continued to echo in Weizhen Fort. At this time, Weizhen Fort seemed particularly quiet. All the military households subconsciously listened to every word Xu Xingxia said. Hearing the four words of military law sanction, some military households couldn't help but look stern. Xu Xingxia's tone was not high, but his tone was very domineering. He brought out the mountain without hesitation without hesitation. There is no doubt that once someone is really cowardly avoiding the war, Xu Xingxia will really enforce military law. Killing people is common during war times.

If there were other officers here, perhaps Xu Xingxia's will was not very important. However, now, there is only Xu Xingxia, the general banner of the entire Weizhen Fort. As the highest-level officer, his will is crucial. After all, the people in Weizhen Fort are all military households and are used to obeying the orders of superiors. Xu Xingxia's will is the order. Any violation of the order will be dealt with seriously.

After hearing Xu Xingxia's words, the soldiers in Niujiaodu immediately found that the eyes of young and strong people around him were different. Their eyes were expecting and a little scared. At this time, even the most fried doughy soldiers would look righteous at this time. No matter what, they could not let others beat them up. The damn Tartars, today I will kill you one of them!

“Da da da da da!

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

The sound of horse hooves is getting faster and closer.

Soon, more than 30 Tartars appeared in Xu Xingxia's sight. Their outfits were not much different from those Tatar cavalry I saw before. Maybe they came from a long distance, and the leather armor of these Tatar cavalry was stained with a lot of dust. The war horses under their crotch were basically earth-gray. It was still a little difficult for the Tatar cavalry to cross the Ulanbu and desert.

"They left too early..." Xu Xingxia couldn't help but shook her head and muttered to herself. Deng Rubai, Wu Datou, Peng Feng, and other senior officials, even the number of Tartar cavalry, had not even figured out, so they retreated back to Pinglu City in panic. It was really strange. If such a thing happened, I was afraid that the military households in Weizhenbao would abandon them. Are the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty so afraid of fighting?

Let’s not talk about the soldiers commanded by Wu Datou for now. Deng Rubai is the commander of the guard! A guard in the Ming Dynasty had five thousand households and 5,560 officers and soldiers, which was equivalent to a brigade in later generations. With the strength of a brigade, he could not deal with the platoon of the Tartars. Damn, he was not afraid of jokes! Even more than 5,000 pigs could hold the Tartars to death! What’s more, the two hundred cavalry around Deng Rubai had some combat power no matter how you look at it!

"Zhang Quanfu!"

Xu Xingxia shouted loudly again.

Zhang Quanfu hurriedly ran over with his elm bow.

Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Isn't it just more than 30 Tartars? Why are you so nervous? Everyone should think that each Tartar has thirty taels of silver. After this battle, we might have thousands of silver earned! This is the Tartars who have given us money! We should be happy!"

Zhang Quanfu smiled bitterly in his heart. Mr. Xu, you can only say this. Your archery skills are so powerful that you say this. Our archery skills are not the opponent of the Tatar cavalry. The Tartars gave you money, but they took our lives. How could we compare with you? It would be good to save your life.

But, strangely, when Zhang Quanfu thought of this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. At first, he was just a little uncomfortable, but later, he gradually became awkward. There was a thought that lingered repeatedly in his mind. Why can't he, Xu Xingxia, kill so many Tartars at once? Could it be that I am really so much worse than him? Am I really not a match for Tartars?

The elm bow and arrow in my hand are also sharp, and they are also a powerful weapon for killing people. When shot on people, they can also kill people. I don’t believe that if the arrow I shoot hits the body of the Tartars, the Tartars will not react at all! Unconsciously, Zhang Quanfu, who was originally as stagnant as water, had a little idea of ​​being competitive. He secretly encouraged himself to kill a Tartar with his own hands.

Slowly suppressing the new god that was stirring in his heart, Zhang Quanfu said slowly: "Master Xu, I also hope to have the opportunity to shoot the Tartars with my own hands."

Xu Xingxia nodded confidently, stared at the outside of the castle with sharp eyes, and said confidently: "Follow me and pay attention to my gestures at any time, I will create opportunities for you."

Zhang Quanfu said in a low tone: "Okay."

"Da da da da!"

While speaking, the Tatar cavalry had already reached the front of Weizhen Fort.

Xu Xingxia carefully counted and found that there were thirty-five Tatar cavalry in total. The leader should be a centurion of the Tartars. Judging from their appearance, there was not much difference between them and the Tartars they had seen before. However, if you observe carefully, you can still find some detailed differences.

Compared with the previous wave of Tatar cavalry, this wave of Tatar cavalry seemed to be more tired. The war horses under their crotch seemed to be more tired and their steps were a little frivolous. The laymen couldn't see it, but the insiders noticed it at a glance. It seemed that they should have gone further before they reached Ningxia Town.

It is indeed difficult for the Tatars to live in the desert. Since they were expelled from the Central Plains, the Tatars did not have a strong Khan king and could not unify the entire Tatar tribe. Several larger Tatar tribes fought for the position of Khan kings and killed themselves quite strongly. However, in the process of killing each other, the Tatars' riding and shooting skills became even more powerful, and the individual soldiers' combat ability was also very strong.

By the 44th year of Wanli, there were a total of hundreds of tribes of all sizes within the Tatars. Among them, there were three largest tribes. There were more than a dozen tribes with medium power. There were hundreds of tribes with weaker strength. In order to strengthen the strength of the tribe, it was necessary to plunder more materials and more people. In order to plunder more population materials, almost every Tatar tribe would send people to Ningxia Town to burn, kill and loot.

This is also the most troublesome thing for the Ming army in Ningxia Town. The Tatars' looting operations were indeed too scattered and too unorganized. Each Tatar tribe acted on its own and rarely had the opportunity to unite. Except for the particularly cold winter, the Tatars could arrive at any other time. The Ming army could not predict in advance when, how many Tatar cavalry would be there, and where to enter Ningxia Town.
