Chapter 072 I'm afraid there will be trouble this time

If it is a Ming army of sixty or seventy people, its combat effectiveness will basically be ignored. However, a Tartar with sixty or seventy people is quite troublesome. The Tartars' maneuver combat ability is too strong, and sixty or seventy people can form a very strong assault force. Even if thousands of Ming army encounter them in the wild, they will suffer a great loss.

Of course, the premise is that the Tartars will not foolishly attack the city. If they attack the city, the Tartars may not be able to win. Defending the city is the only advantage of the Ming army. This is also the basic reason why there are beacons everywhere in Ningxia Town and castles everywhere. As long as you guard the castle and do not make low-level mistakes, the Tartars will most likely have no choice.

From the perspective of the Tartars, of course, I hope to fight against the Ming army in the field, take advantage of their maneuverability and cavalry and shooting, defeat the Ming army with less and more. But from the perspective of the Ming army, I hope that the Tartars will come to attack the city. Although the Tartars' bow and archery ability is indeed strong, the Ming army is difficult to reach, but the ability to attack is not very good.

The Tartars could not carry much siege equipment, and they did not know how to make siege equipment on site. As long as the Tartars siege cities, even if they could capture one or two larger towns, they would soon have to withdraw their troops due to their great losses. Forcing the Tartars to siege cities or inducing the Tartars to siege cities has always been the main strategy of the Ming army to consume the Tartars.

Seeing so many Tatar cavalry, those newly joined Niujiaoduan felt that the blood in their bodies was slowly boiling. It was a bit of a test when they arrived at Niujiaoduan and encountered so many enemies. Even Mao Shisan, who had the experience of horse thieves, was obviously a little uncomfortable with the pressure of the Tartars. After all, the cruel concept of the Tartars is deeply rooted in people's hearts. They subconsciously felt that the Tartars were extremely terrifying since they were young.

"Think about your relatives! Think about what you said yesterday! Aren't you going to avenge your relatives? You can't even catch your weapons, so how can you avenge them? We are not encountering the Tartars in the wild, we are holding onto the city. With the Tartars's troops, are you still worried that he will attack the city?" Xu Xingxia said coldly.

With Xu Xingxia's encouragement, the new recruits' uneasiness finally improved a little. However, Xu Xingxia did not feel that they could inspire their courage with just a few words. If things were really that simple, it would be a little bit too strong. In fact, to motivate these people's courage, more efforts and more practical actions are required. The boss is definitely not that easy to do.

"Sir, look, the Tatars seem to be coming for us?" Suddenly, Zhang Quanfu said to Xu Xingxia with some confusion.

"Is that true?" Xu Xingxia frowned and carefully looked at the movements of the Tatar cavalry outside.

The people around them also followed Xu Xingxia's gaze and looked around in surprise. Sure enough, the Tatar cavalry did not go south along the main road. When they were about one hundred feet away from Niujiao Dun, they all dispersed and surrounded Niujiao Dun from different directions. Even the east side where the Tatars had never appeared before, there were more than a dozen Tartar cavalry. Such a distribution of troops was indeed quite strange.

Around Niujiaoduan, there were flat vegetable fields that everyone had sorted out. Now, the Tatar cavalry is very close to these vegetable fields. Perhaps because they discovered the unusual vegetable fields, the Tatar cavalry temporarily lowered their speed and slowly leaned towards Niujiaoduan. The bent bows in their hands were already covered with the geese-ling arrows.

"Do the Tartars want to pull out the ox horn pier?" Gao Meng said in a little astonishment.

This sentence suddenly made the tension in Niujiaoduan even more nervous. Some new recruits' faces even turned pale. Not only did Chen Shouwang, Liu Heng, and Lin Dacheng, who had no practical experience, even Mao Shisan, who had experience in horse thieves, could not help but shivered all over. They vaguely felt that this time coming to Niujiaoduan might be the most wrong choice in their life. What's more serious is that this wrong choice has not yet been pushed down and has no chance to start over. The big mistake has been made and has no salvation.

If the Tartars wanted to pull out Niujiao Dun, it means that the new recruits who had just passed the assessment and arrived excitedly, and were ready to eat enough to die after just having a full breakfast. They would not be naive and thought they could escape under the arrows of the Tartars. To be honest, this result was really frustrating. They came to Niujiao Dun and were just here to die!

Many people can't understand why the Tartars tried to pull out the Niujiao Dun. There is no need for this! Niujiao Dun is just a simple beacon fire pier, which is used to call the police and has basically no impact on the Tartars' military operations. Therefore, the Tartars generally don't care. For a long time in the past, the Tartars passed by the Beacon Fire pier and were too lazy to take a look.

However, if the Tartars really make up their minds to pull out the Niujiao Dun, then there is only one possibility - the Tartars will launch a large-scale attack again. Only when a large-scale attack of thousands of people will the Tartars kill all the beacons on the front line of Ningxia Town. The purpose of this is of course to facilitate the operation of the large army.

When thinking of thousands of Tartars pounced on Ningxia Town, almost everyone felt a little chilling on their backs. So many Tartar cavalry went south and suffered a catastrophe, not only Niujiao Dun. Weizhen Fort would definitely not be able to stop it. Whether Pinglu City can be blocked is still something to say. It is conceivable that how many military households will die under the Tatars' butcher's knife by then.

"calm!"

Xu Xingxia shouted expressionlessly.

Whether the Tartars wanted to pull out the beacon fired pier or not, Xu Xingxia was not afraid at all. His confidence came from the iron-backed bow in his hand and the eighty black feather arrows he had. The number of Tartars was only sixty or seventy, and even if they all rushed up, they were no match for him. What's more, there were more than a dozen people around him who knew how to ride and shoot. They were the least good, and they could kill five or six Tartars.

As for whether the Tartars had more large troops behind, this was not a question that Xu Xingxia needed to consider. He was just a small household with only such a few people and such a few weapons around him. He could only do his best to do his best within his ability. Even if he was really razed to the ground with Niujiao Dun in the end, he had nothing to say. He had done his best without regrets.

The Tatar cavalry was moving very fast. When the Ming army in Niujiaodu was secretly heartbroken, they had already completed the encirclement of Niujiaodu. The Tatar cavalry closest to Niujiaodu was less than 70 meters, and was basically the limit of the range of the iron-backed bow. However, due to the distance being too far, Xu Xingxia did not take action. He was not sure and could not waste the precious black feather arrow.

A Tatar cavalry jumped forward and shouted to Niujiaoduan: "We are warriors of the Tatar Helejin tribe! Ask Xu Xingxia to speak! If he refuses to show up, we will razor Niujiaoduan to the ground!"

His Chinese is very standard. Among the pure Tatars, no one could say Chinese so standard. From this, it is inferred that the Tatar cavalry who called out must be Han people. It is very likely that they were the kind of Han people who defected to foreign tribes. It was like Fan Wencheng, who defected to Liaodong and worked hard for wild boar skins.

What Xu Xingxia hates most is such a traitor. He decided to use this traitor first and give the Tartars a little color. He nodded to Gao Meng and signaled him to respond. Gao Meng's voice was big enough to be used as a loudspeaker. Gao Meng immediately shouted loudly: "Fuck you, traitor! Tell me if you have something to say, and let go if you have fart!"

The traitor said condescendingly: "This is Sobud, the eldest prince of the Hellejin tribe! He came in person this time to find one of yours named Xu Xingxia! As long as you hand over Xu Xingxia's head, we will let you go!"

During the Ming Dynasty, many Mongolian tribes were canonized as kings. At the beginning, they were enthroned by the Ming Dynasty, with relatively formal procedures, and the number of enthroned was small. Later, the procedures gradually simplified, and more and more princes were enthroned, resulting in the prince's hat becoming less and less valuable. Later, the Mongolians simply enthroned themselves and left the Ming court. As long as they had some strength, they would give themselves the title of prince, and the same was true for the Helejin tribe.

Xu Xingxia made a gesture to Gao Meng to get the traitor close to him in order to create a chance to shoot the other party. Gao Meng nodded and said loudly: "What bullshit prince? We can't hear clearly, please get closer and speak."

The traitor didn't know that there was a fraud, so he rode his horse forward and walked about fifteen feet. He was about to speak, but suddenly, with a whoosh, an arrow roared away and knocked him directly from the horse's back. The traitor fell to the ground and did not move. The black feather arrow shot through his chest, obviously he couldn't survive.

"ah!"

The Tatar cavalry who saw this scene couldn't help but sucked in the air.

This traitor who was shouting was more than 40 feet away from Niujiaodune! At such a long distance, he was actually shot to death by an arrow! The archer who shot is too perverted! Even the Tatar archer is difficult to do!

"I am Xu Xingxia!"

On the top of Niujiao Dun, Xu Xingxia lowered his iron back bow and shouted in a deep voice.

A Tatar cavalry stepped forward and stopped ten feet away from the traitor's body, shouting in stiff Chinese: "Xu Xingxia, kill the little prince of our Helejin tribe, come out and die obediently! Come out and we will give you a chance to fight fairly! As long as you can defeat us, we will let you go!"
