Chapter 116: Kneeling and breastfeeding

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun rushed out along the valley. There were no decent roads in the valleys in the mountains. The river beaches were full of rocks and bushes. It was easy to be injured when running in such an environment, but who can still care about it now, just whipping the mounts desperately and going out as quickly as possible.

"Without beacon, how could there be a large number of cavalrymen!"

"Can it be the officers and soldiers crossing the border?"

Zhou Qingyun shouted immediately. He was not asking questions, but reassuring himself. If the Ming Dynasty official army was transiting, Zheng Jiaji and other encirclements would know the news a long time in advance. On the one hand, it was prepared to work hard and on the other hand, it was good to defend itself to avoid being harmed by the official army. With Zhu Da and his knowledge in Zheng Jiaji, he knew nothing.

"Stop talking to him, look at your horse and don't fall on the road." Zhu Da yelled back. The more important the moment, the more you should not be panicked, otherwise it will delay the matter even more.

When the two of them ran out, they could already hear the low roar from afar, which sounded like a muffled thunder in the sky. But when they looked up at the sky, the sun was bright, and the movement made people even more crazy.

You can already see the mountain pass in the distance, and even the buildings of the new village by the river. From this narrow angle, everything seems to be as normal, but how can it be as normal!

At this moment, the "Dangdang" bell rang, and there were still hoarse roars and shouts. Zhu Da knew that this was a warning signal from Baibao Village and Hebian New Village. He had already had emergency training for the helpers in the two places. When the bell rang, each had made arrangements.

At that time, he also considered the invasion of large enemies, but he regarded this extreme situation as the limit and would not easily encounter it. But who would have thought that it would appear like this today, and it would appear so suddenly, making people unprepared!

The way to deal with such an extreme situation is nothing more than hiding in the cellars and tunnels regardless of property. There is plenty of water and very hidden. But is this method useful? If you really search carefully, how can you not find it? Zhu Da is not sure.

As for resistance, what can we do with the population of less than a thousand people in the two villages? These thousand people have the elderly, weak, women and children, and less than 500 males. Without regular training, what can we do to resist?

Finally leaving the mountain pass, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun subconsciously loosened the reins, forgot to wave the whip, and prevented the mount from running wildly, because they saw smoke and dust, and the dust covered the sky, like moving mountains, rolling towards this side. They could even feel the vibration from the smoke and dust, and the thunderous roar in their ears. Large cavalry and large horse teams were rushing towards this side.

The two of them had never seen such a momentum, but they knew that this was a brigade of cavalry. Because Yuan Biao, Xiang Bo and even the old people in Baibao Village and Zheng Jiaji had described this scene. When the Mongolian brigade in the north broke through the pass and swept the villages and towns along the way, it was such momentum. When the Ming official army faced the enemy on the battlefield, it was such momentum. At that time, Zhu Da only felt exaggerated, but when he really faced it, he realized that those people were lacking in words.

Are they Mongolians? The Ming Dynasty official army? It is no longer important. What is important is that such momentum is definitely not for the sake of peaceful movement. In the face of such momentum, everything will be completely crushed!

The two riders slowed down a little, and immediately realized that Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun accelerated again. Both of them ran towards the new village by the river. When the sky was dawn, the elders would arrive at the new village early and start to be busy all day long. They could save people there, at least they could bring their parents and Xiang Bo out.

After running forward for more than ten steps, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the rolling smoke and dust coming from the east. Zhou Qingyun took a look and stopped looking. However, Zhu Da tilted his head and almost couldn't control the horses.

Zhu Da was so dazed for a while. He gritted his teeth and whipped the mount hard with the back of the knife. The horse could not bear it and accelerated, and rushed to the position side by side with Zhou Qingyun. Zhu Da immediately reached out and grabbed Zhou Qingyun directly. With a sudden pull, both of them were shocked. If the two horses did not run in parallel, Zhu Da's arm would probably be broken.

Zhou Qingyun turned around and was about to roar. At this moment, what if the person was pulled off the horse and delayed the major life-saving matter. But after seeing Zhu Da's expression, he was shocked. Zhu Da could only say that he was a gloomy expression just now, but at this moment he became a little crazy, his eyes were red, his facial features were twisted, and he was still gritting his teeth.

"Let's go into the mountain!"

When Zhou Qingyun heard Zhu Da’s roar, he thought he had heard it wrong, so Zhu Da shouted again, "Let’s go into the mountain immediately!" In just a short time, Zhu Da’s voice was completely hoarse.

"You are crazy! Your parents and master are still in the village, let's go and save them!" Zhou Qingyun hissed and roared back. He was extremely angry. He never expected Zhu Da to say such words.

"It's too late! When we go over, the other party will catch us up. It's too late to cross the river. If we go, we can only die together. We can still survive when we go into the mountains!"

It is not difficult to judge the speed. It takes time to get from the mountain to the two villages. The distance between the two sides is not much different, but there are many cavalrymen from afar. When they enter the village, the enemy may have arrived. Even if they cross the river, it will be too late. The mounts cross the river and there is no way to distance them. If the enemy cavalry crosses the river and pursues them, they will still be unable to get rid of them. It is still a word of death.

"I don't care! I'll die together! You coward who has no courage!" Zhou Qingyun was already furious immediately. If he hadn't controlled his mount in such a crazy state, he would probably have drew his sword and slashed him.

Zhu Da reached out to grab the horse on the back, but Zhou Qingyun waved his hand and cursed him directly. Zhu Da stepped a little slower and drove the horse forward. After getting closer, he slashed Zhou Qingyun's neck with his palm. This was a way to capture the enemy alive. Zhou Qingyun didn't expect to be attacked like this. By the time he was cut, it was too late, and he didn't even have time to glar and scold him, and his whole body was soft on the horse.

Zhou Qingyun was just knocked unconscious, and Zhu Da had already flattened the horse's head with Zhou Qingyun. He kicked the horse's belly hard. The spurs pierced the horse's belly bloodily. The horse's neighed continuously, but it could always maintain its speed. Zhu Da reached out and grabbed Zhou Qingyun and pulled him over from his mount, placed it on the saddle in front of him, and then stopped the mount desperately. Zhu Da did not dare to turn quickly. With such a speed of galloping, it is very likely that the horse would fall over and throw the person down. The more this time, the more anxious it would be.

Stop in time, not too far from the mountainside. When you look at the rolling smoke and dust, you are almost approaching Baibao Village. Xiama Village may have been swept by. In the face of such momentum, the seemingly solid earth enclosure and the strong man holding a wooden gun will be as ridiculous as paper-paste and useless.

As he was crazy sprinting just now, there were two people carrying the horse on his back. Zhu Da felt that the mount under his crotch was a little unhurried, and now he didn't care about so much. He had already pulled out his dagger and was about to stab the mount when necessary.

Fortunately, the horse finally ran, and Zhou Qingyun's mount rushed forward for a while and then turned around and followed Zhu Da.

The mountainside is less than a few miles away from Baibao Village and Hebian New Village. You can see all kinds of people running out of the village, some riding horses, some driving cars, and some jumping into the river regardless of care. The warning bell is still ringing regardless of care. At this time, if there are no horses, then running wildly or jumping into the river is the worst choice, because you can't escape the cavalry.

Zhu Da didn't want to go and see, but he couldn't help but go and see. He gritted his teeth, bleeding from his mouth, and the veins on his arms holding the reins were exposed. Zhu Da knew that his parents must be in the village. Xiang Bo might be in the village, and people he was familiar with might be in the village. Even Qin Qin might be taken to the village by Xiang Bo. Will they escape on horseback? Will they hide in the cellar? Can they survive? Do they refuse to save him if he dies!

The more he thought about it, the more he became more confused. Zhu Da felt that his eyes were blurred. He slapped himself a few times. The force was so strong that he directly made his cheeks red and swollen. The severe pain also made his thoughts clearer. He turned to look south and could already see the truth in the dust. It was indeed cavalry, cavalry in leather robes, and cavalry completely different from the Ming Dynasty official army. They shouted and shouted, and some rushed into Baibao Village, while others rushed to the new village by the river.

This is the Mongolian cavalry, this is the Tartars! This is the Tartars! In recent days, the beacons on the edge of the sky have gradually faded. Why hasn't it become peaceful? Instead, there are a large number of Mongolian cavalry. This is clearly a confusion of the virtuality and reality.

You can see a large number of cavalry divided into two and attacked Hebian Xincun. In the areas of Baibao Village and Hebian Xincun, the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry were not that big, because the fields here were well irrigated, and there would not be so dry sand and dust. Zhu Da also saw the number of cavalry clearly. Perhaps not as much as he thought, the momentum was so terrifying, but it could not reach thousands. Only hundreds of cavalry were divided, but such power was enough to crush these two villages.

There is a rare place like this rich in the countryside of Datong. The Mongolian cavalry heading south in the bitter and cold land is like hungry wolves seeing flesh and blood, and they have to pounce on them to bite and swallow them. A few miles away, they can see the excitement of the cavalry on their horses.

Going forward is the Xiami River. With the boundaries of encirclement and pursuit, you can see the Mongolian cavalry even scattered, chasing the escaped people, either drawing bows or swinging swords, killing the villagers who were not far away.

Zhu Da couldn't see the faces of these villagers clearly, and did not know if there were any relatives here. He forced himself to turn his head and run towards another road into the mountain.

The cavalry had all kinds of inconveniences into the mountain. They would not run so far, nor would they let anyone go. They were robbed, not to kill people. Perhaps the Mongolian cavalry that pursued them had already seen Zhu Da, but they were indeed not interested in chasing them, so they took a look and went back.

Zhu Da’s sword bow is ready, and if he really can’t escape, he can only fight.

At this moment, it seems that I can't say that I'm lucky, but no one came up to chase me. Zhu Da turned into the familiar mountain road and looked back. The smoke and dust were still there, the sound of horse hooves and the howling of excitement came.
