Chapter 196: A strong enemy may not be difficult

The road looked to both sides, except for the frozen river!, there was only the fields. The snow fell a little a few days ago, and the ground looked like a dirty rag, one piece yellow and the other piece white. It was ugly.

Wang Tong and Tan Bing were behind a bush of short trees. The royal blue cotton robe on their bodies has now turned yellow, and the mounts on their bodies are covered with a piece of felt, which is also yellow.

Looking from afar, you can't see anyone in a trance. It's very simple to achieve this effect, just roll on the sand and land.

The sun was about to set, and the horse stopped behind them, stretched out his mouth and chewed the hard material in a pocket. Wang Tong and Tan Bingxian stood quietly behind.

"As long as the magistrate can be sent to Xianghe County, the county magistrate will lose his official position if he doesn't accept it. He will definitely report to send troops to rescue him, but the city gates in all parts of the twelfth lunar month are closed early. See if he can catch up."

Tan Bing looked at the official road not far away and whispered to Wang Tong.

Wang Tong nodded, but had no interface. They were on the edge of the official road about three miles east of the convoy. It was almost certain that the Shi Tianhu would definitely come from here, so he simply took a look as a horse to take a look.

The sunset was extremely bright, and the world seemed to be dyed with a layer of color. At this time, a team appeared on the east side of the official road.

It can indeed be said to be a team. The cavalry in this team is far inferior to those thieves, which are about fifty cavalry, but they are arranged neatly. There is no Samar running wildly in front of them. Both the infantry and cavalry are wearing half-old cotton jackets with black or brown cloth, and there is also a very strange thing, that is, they are all covered in their faces.

The infantry behind were all swords and shields on the outside, and the inside was people holding long soldiers. Although the team was a bit loose, it was in a trot. The formation could be maintained, and even if it was far away, it could roughly see the original arrangement. This was not easy.

Apart from the sound of horse hooves and foot ping-tops, there is only the leader whispering orders to restrain the soldiers. A team of about 500 people is moving quickly on the official road. It actually puts pressure on people.

Wang Tong took a breath slowly and whispered:

"If this were a thief, our Ming Dynasty would have been a big deal long ago." You are so cruel. I don't know what I did, but I actually dispatched troops to kill me."

While talking, he retreated. When he arrived at the horse, he removed the felt. The two of them turned over the horse. With a whip, the horse hurriedly ran towards the road. The sound of the side was definitely seen by someone on the official road, but his eyes were stopped. No one came to pay attention to it, and he just kept moving forward.

Wang Tong and Tan Bing ran wildly when they were fighting horses, so they were naturally much faster than those who wanted to maintain their formation. Soon, they left these enemies behind.

When he rushed back to his convoy, he was already nervous and busy. On this big plain, Tan Gong stood on a high place, and was shining with his light. He could see the large group of people clearly from afar.

Seeing Wang Tong and Tan coming, the blacksmiths and several shopkeepers shouted to move the cart blocking there and let Wang Tong and Tan Bing come in.

In just a short distance, the horse ran almost with a sprint. After entering the range of the car array, the horse was covered in sweat, and the shopkeepers hurriedly pulled it away.

General Tan rushed over quickly, talked to Tan Bing for a few words, then came to Wang Tong and whispered:

"Master, now we can go to the wilderness by horse. We can whip the horse in front and go to the three guards of Tianjin. Then we will be safe."

Wang Tong looked back with a calm face and saw that there were only fifty people who could ride horses in the car array. His closeness, the teenagers in the martial arts hall and the money they had accumulated hard, but they could not take them away. If he ran away safely, what should he do?

Regarding General Tan’s proposal, Wang Tong shook his head and said in a stern voice:

"I'm leaving like this, who else is willing to be loyal to me in the future?"

After a pause, Wang Tong's question interrupted Tan Jiang's continued persuasion and said:

"The Jinyi's personal army is different from other soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty. What can the archery and horse skills of General Tan's brothers be counted in the army?"

Although Tan Jiang was surprised at Wang Tong's question, he still showed a proud look on his face and said loudly:

"To be honest, no one in a hundred words

Wang Tong nodded. Before he could speak, Tan Gong, who was whistling on the top, had already started shouting:

"Here, push up everywhere and keep the weapons carefully." When Wang Tong went to observe the enemy just now, General Tan and others had already made arrangements here. The farmers who set up horses were divided into two teams, all of whom were on standby with bows and arrows, while the servants and young men were divided into several teams with long and short weapons to guard each direction.

Sun Dahai, Zhang Shiqiang, and the Jinyiwei who seemed to be the King of the Workshop to protect the panicked women and children.

The sun hung above the horizon and looked huge. The enemy army had already arrived at the front of the convoy's formation, almost a hundred steps away.

The cavalry in front stopped first, and the infantry began to unfold. Without much effort, five teams of people were formed in groups of hundreds of people. This movement made the people in the chariot feel more pressure.

"I don't know if it's the army from the Three Guards of Tianjin, but this attitude has also been on the battlefield.

General Tan said with emotion.

I ran all the way and needed some time to breathe and rest. Except for the cavalry in front of me, the other four teams dispersed in other directions.

After forming a surround on the car array, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he gathered the array meal there and temporarily repaired it.

The defense circle surrounded by this big cart looks strict. But it is just temporary defense. If these four hundred people have the same force, the defense inside will definitely be unable to take care of. Such an isolated and helpless stronghold, if a point is broken, the entire defense will be completely opened.

While the renovation was being made, the cart used as the entrance and exit of the thief cavalry was moved away. More than twenty horses rushed out of the chariot formation.

The cavalry standing on the opposite side was a little turbulent. They attacked from all sides, fighting less, and their cavalry was just for chasing and intercepting escaped people.

But even so, their number was more than that of the cavalry in the convoy. I never expected that the other party would rush out so openly.

Could it be that the people outside wanted to run away? But the posture was not like that. Is it because I was looking for death? When I came, some of the people riding the horse shouted a few words. The cavalrymen who had stopped for a while were moving, shouting and yelling to strike out.

Wang Tong held a large shield to cover his body, and the hand holding the shield had to hold the reins to control the horse. His movements were quite awkward. But he was at the forefront of the team. Everyone in the Tan family had already rode horses and followed him out. The shopkeepers had the most accurate archery shooting, Ma Sanbiao, Sun Dahai and several servants were also riding horses in the team.

Now Sun Xin and Li Tao are responsible for the recommendation in the chariot array. If Li Hutou and Ma Pozi were not staying there, many people would probably think he was going to escape. Wang Tong rushed in front, with more than 20 cavalrymen in the shape of a straight triangle, and the other party was able to deal with it. The cavalry surrounded the left and right wings.

At more than a hundred steps, Wang Tong had already run dozens of steps in response. A cavalry in front shouted and raised the spear in his hand and stabbed Wang Tong straight towards him.

"Wither soothing, an arrow shot out from Wang Tong's side, hitting the cavalry's chest, and the cavalry fell down from the horse.

Wang Tong kicked the horse's abdomen with both legs, allowing the mount to add. When every cavalry in front of him was shot off the horse by the people behind him, those who shot archers even ignored themselves and just focused on archery to cover Wang Tong.

In a battle of less than a hundred cavalry, after more than a dozen people were shot down, everyone knew that they should not be blocked in front of Wang Tong. In front of Wang Tong, only the person who gave the order and the few guards beside him.

Wang Tong dropped his shield, took out the copper tube and lit the fuse, then removed the paper ball at the muzzle. He tamped it with a few strokes, and raised the muzzle upwards.

The sunset light shone from behind Wang Tong, and the person on the other side could not see clearly what Wang Tong was holding. He only felt that he raised a stick. Even though the other party was covering his face, Wang Tong could clearly hear the laughter of the person who gave the order, and even heard contemptuous words clearly:

"I always have a little boy who grows all the time, but I'm still learning from others to rush forward. Who will go up and bear him? I'll give him 200 taels of extra money."

The guards next to them also burst into laughter. One of them took off his spear from the saddle and drove the horse. Wang Tong had already arrived twenty steps away from them, but suddenly strangled his mount, and everyone was stunned.

Wang Tongfang flatly his arm, aimed at the person who was giving orders in the middle, hooked the trigger, and the end of the burning fuse ignited the medicine pool's lead-in, and there was a loud "touch".

At this distance, the short fire lock pool had enough accuracy. It sounded loudly and the smoke drifted away. The man in the middle grabbed the front panel tightly, screamed, and immediately fell from his horse.

"Mr. Zhang!!"

Neither Wang Tong's horse nor the other party's horses were used to adapt to the huge roar of Huo Di. Both sides were trying hard to control the mounts. The cavalry who came out of the formation saw the man Ling fall down. He roared, but instead chased Wang Tong with his gun, and pulled the reins and ran towards the wilderness.

He took out the short hanging on the other side, and was pragmatic and strangled the horse again. The horse stopped, and Wang Tong turned around. The man's spear was no more than ten steps away from Wang Tong.

Wang Tong aimed hastily and pulled the trigger.

After a loud bang, the chasing knight suddenly leaned back and his spear fell to the ground. The other square teams were a little restless. I don’t know if it was time to help the cavalry and attack, Wang Tong took a few breaths, put his hands together at his mouth, shouting in a shrill voice:

"Mr. Zhang is dead, Lord Zhang is dead. Everyone, come back to the camp!!"

When he shouted, everyone in the convoy shouted, "Mr. Zhang is dead." "Go back to the camp quickly."
