Chapter 12 Mountain Wars Against Mountain Peoples (4)
When they climbed to the top of the mountain panting, Zhang Ping'an hung a string, held a crossbow and shouted, "Is the fire extinguished?"
"No! But the fire is too small!"
Zhang Ping'an rushed to Lu Deyin and didn't care about anything else to scold him. He glanced at the dark red charcoal. Lu Deyin pushed away the small red stone as required, but the fire did not ignite as scheduled. Zhang Ping'an handed the crossbow to Lu Deyin and said, "Go and stare at the Tartars! Every ten feet of the Tartars advance, they will report the number."
Zhang Ping'an began to search the items they brought. He yelled while flipping: "Start count!"
"Fifty feet!"
Zhang Ping'an took out the cloth that was wrapped, pressed it directly on the charcoal fire with his left hand, and the fire suddenly started to rise;
"Forty feet!" Maybe the Tartars came out too quickly, so Zhang Ping'an and the others did not feel the threat of bows and arrows.
"Thirty feet!" Lu Deyin shouted with a slight cry.
"Calm down!" Zhang Ping'an shouted;
"Twenty feet!"
I saw Zhang Ping'an holding a flame-burning charcoal in his left and right hands, and rushed towards a snow pile.
The Jurchen Tartars looked at Zhang Ping'an who was rushing down strangely, raised their swords and prepared to fight against the Xiao Ming dog holding a strange weapon.
The Jurchen Tartars slowed down their pace to go up the mountain; seeing that Zhang Ping'an did not rush down, but kicked away the snow pile that was about ten feet away from them, and stuffed charcoal into the snow pile, the Jurchen Tartars were surprised to find that the snow pile immediately burst into the snow pile.
"Ten feet!"
When the Jurchen Tatars saw Zhang Ping'an crawling on the mountain with their hands and feet and ground, they heard Zhang Ping'an roar: "Drop the crossbow and hold the tree!"
Lu Deyin firmly followed Zhang Ping'an's order and hugged the big tree beside him with both hands. The Tartars also felt danger and rushed towards the smoked snow piles desperately.
When the Jurchen Tartars closest to the snow pile was less than three meters away, they heard a loud "boom!" and the whole mountain began to shake.
The snow began to collapse! This avalanche was not big, but fortunately, none of the Tartars could escape. The first one was the Tartars who were shot at the first ambush. It was because he was injured that when other Jurchen Tartars went up the mountain, he was responsible for leading the horse at the foot of the mountain. Horses were very spiritual animals. When huge dangers came, they would desperately escape from the danger. This was the instinctive reaction of the horse's evolution for millions of years. The Jurchen Tartars was kicked off one leg in an instant by the frightened horse, which caused him to dislocate his hands.
After the avalanche stopped, Zhang Ping'an quickly glanced at the battlefield and saw six black dots. Lu Deyin was obviously shocked by the natural disasters they created.
Zhang Ping'an shouted: "Wake up quickly! Steel the crossbow and put an arrow!" Seeing that Lu Deyin had not responded yet, Zhang Ping'an slapped Lu Deyin in the face. Then Lu Deyin came to his senses and mechanically followed Zhang Ping'an to sing the crossbow and put an arrow.
Zhang Ping'an quickly walked more than 20 feet away and saw the largest black shadow on the battlefield, which was actually the leader of the Jurchen Tartars. He saw his hands facing the sky, and most of his body was buried in the snow. He obviously fainted. Zhang Ping'an took a look and the arrow was still on his left shoulder, and the arrow shaft was cut off by him. Zhang Ping'an quickly used a knife to break the tendons of his right hand, and then broke the tendons of his left hand.
Lu Deyin was completely calmed down at this time and began to scan the battlefield completely. After seeing Zhang Ping'an breaking the tendons of the Tartar leader, he smiled and bandaged his wounds with great thoughtfulness.
Lu Deyin suddenly shouted: "Brother is there any movement!" At the same time, the crossbow arrow was shot out;
Zhang Ping'an saw the Jurchen Tartars seven feet away being shot through the head by an arrow. Zhang Ping'an patted Lu Deyin's shoulder with relief, asking him to use the crossbow arrow again and be alert. Zhang Ping'an continued to do his careful surgery.
Zhang Ping'an and the others were making great progress. After Zhang Ping'an picked out the Tartars' tendons one by one, he dragged them out one by one, tied them up one after another. Zhang Ping'an then picked out their tendons and bandaged them carefully.
After Zhang Ping'an performed five operations, he began to detect the victims in the snow with wooden sticks. Fortunately, they were not buried very deeply. They rescued three Jurchen Tartars who fainted due to hypoxia. Zhang Ping'an also carefully performed the operation on them. Then he dug out the bodies of two Tartars. Zhang Ping'an shook his head and gave up the final rescue operation.
Zhang Ping'an was wondering at first why he could see so clearly. He looked up at the sky, the snow stopped, and the moon in the sky showed half of the smiling face of Fei Dongdong;
Zhang Ping'an smiled at the moon and shouted: "This time it's good! Continue next time. Sister Chang'e, I'll go see you again in eighty or ninety years!"
"Brother, do you know Sister Chang'e?"
In order to relax his nervous mood, Zhang Ping'an began to whisper: "Who do you know? Oh, of course I know him. Last time I visited his house, she was not at home. According to her pet little white rabbit, she felt too lonely, so she went to the bar to have a good and handsome appearance. Uncle Wu Gang, who had a crush on his doorman, was still crying in the house!"
"Oh, brother, what is a tall, rich and handsome guy? What is a secret love?"
"As long as you get along with me, you will be tall, rich and handsome in a few years! A secret love is..., you are a little brat who has no hair, hi... what are you doing?"
He saw Lu Deyin picking up the knife and walking towards a Tartar, and the Jurchen Tartars had a horrified look in their eyes. “I want to see where the hair grows?”
"Come back to me! We still have some serious things to do!" Seeing Lu Deyin's indignant eyes, Zhang Ping'an pretended not to see it.
They walked to the second ambush scene, and even Lu Deyin laughed. When they saw the Jurchen Tartars who were responsible for leading the horse, they made the horse lie on the ground and were trying hard to roll onto the horse's back. Because of their dislocated hands, they also broke one leg. I don't know how many times he tried, and the snow around the horse was covered with indentation.
Zhang Ping'an and the others calmed down in the moonlight and saw that they knew the Tartar, the one who had the rope cover last time, was the Tartar who was preparing to cover the little girl. Zhang Ping'an found a big stone, walked to him quietly, and tried hard to lift the stone at his only good foot, and smashed it hard. Zhang Ping'an heard the crackling sound of a broken bone. He was not at ease, so he performed a surgery to break his hands. Zhang Ping'an felt that this Tartar was still capable, because six horses gathered around him, and Zhang Ping'an couldn't ride a horse with his back. Only after Lu Deyin got on the horse, he found a big stone to mount a foot and rode behind Lu Deyin.
Zhang Ping'an immediately said to Lu Deyin: "I recalled the entire battle. There were nineteen chasing us and nineteen alive. Then I will look at the one in front of us. I saw three headless corpses at the second ambush point just now, and I will come to find the head tomorrow. The two guards should not be war soldiers, probably miscellaneous soldiers, but we can't be careless. Compare strength with them. We can't be! They can't compare intelligence with us! If they are in the yard, they can't be shot with crossbow arrows. If they are in the room, you can shout in Jurchens: Go and save people! Cover your mouth with your hands and shout. Pull them into the yard, and we can't shoot them with crossbow arrows." Lu Deyin nodded to show that he understood. (To be continued)
