The Northern Cavalry was less than 100 paces away from the closest, Zhang Han heard a crackling sound, it was the Northern Cavalry who were unwilling to fire bows and arrows, because there were too many people who pulled bows and arrows, and the usual sound of collapse turned into a rapid crackling sound, and some arrows swept into the air, and then stuck obliquely on the ground, as if they were from a bush.

In the second half of the night, the cavalry became scarce, the people began to get sleepy, and the horses were tired, but Wen Zhongfa and the bald man insisted on continuing their walk, and it was not a good idea to rest at this time.

Zhang Han also felt exhausted...... When he was in Li Zhuang, he felt that his physical fitness was very good, after all, he had practiced martial arts for several years, and he got up every morning to run and drill with the soldiers, and occasionally he would participate in physical fitness and combat training, and the riding training was not pulled down for a day, and he had to ride a horse almost every day for several years, and he felt that his riding skills were already very good...... At this time, Zhang Han secretly felt: he is still far away!

Wen Zhongfa and others' riding skills are far better than Zhang Han's, they seem to be connected with the horse's body on horseback, with the horse's body up and down, there is no deliberate sense of riding at all, of course, they are still worse than the Beilu, the Beilu who grew on horseback can make all kinds of unbelievable movements, they are the real nation on horseback.

Zhang Han lay on the horse, felt that the horse's skin was also trembling, there was a strong smell of horse sweat between his nose, and the horse's mane brushed his cheeks, and there was some itching, which also made him feel comfortable and reassured.

No one spoke, the starry sky above his head began to become dim, the original full moon also became a crescent moon, the sky began to turn white, and the morning star slowly brightened, at this time people were the most sleepy time, Zhang Han lay on the horse's back, feeling that he was groggy and very uncomfortable, but he was afraid of falling off the horse in his sleep, he did not have the ability of Mongolians to sleep on horses, he could only wake up from time to time, and then lie down again, and wake up again...... In the midst of this extremely uncomfortable cycle, the day finally dawned.

The moon had gone down completely, the stars were gone, and the eastern sky was at first white with a fish's belly, and then with a red glow.

At this time, Zhang Han heard the sound of Wen Zhongfa speaking, and at the beginning of the urn, Zhang Han shook his head, only to hear clearly that everyone was told to dismount and rest.

The horses were also exhausted, and at this time they could not run even with whipping, and the people dismounted one after another and walked to the edge of a bush to rest.

Zhang Han took out a water bladder to drink water, but Wen Zhongfa and the others started drinking horses first, and Zhang Han also hurriedly began to drink horses.

Everyone's movements are a little stiff, but they are skillful, and all of them are almost in unison.

Most of the knights who were singled out were middle and lower-ranking officers, and even the bald ones were deputy flag captains, and everyone had experienced arduous cavalry training and many actual combat tests, and they were already very experienced.

After feeding the horse water, the bald man walked over, took out the bean material from the cloth bag, and began to help Zhang Han feed the red sand horse.

The bald man said while feeding: "Team officer, you eat some dry food first, we feed the horses, and then we have to continue walking, now we are very close to the ninth station." ”

Zhang Han nodded slightly, knowing that he was far worse than these subordinates, and he didn't have to be polite in these matters, so he took out the dry food prepared last night from the side of the saddle, a few wheat cakes with some salted jerky, and began to eat with the water in the water bladder.

In the early morning, the grass was full of dewdrops, but the people could not care about it, and the bald man and others fed the horses, and wiped the sweat and dew off the horses, and then the horses slowly ate the young grass, and everyone sat down on the side of the bushes, and then began to eat and drink.

Zhang Han was originally exhausted, and after eating dry food and drinking water, he was much more sober, on the other hand, Wen Zhongfa and others, because they were too concentrated and nervous, after running in the middle of the night, their eyes were red at this time, and some people would fall asleep soundly if they lay down.

However, people did not sleep, only a few miles away from the ninth, through the gap in the bushes can already see where the military platform is, it is not a good time to rest at this time, and when they arrive at the military platform, they will change horses in the military platform, although the war horses of the military platform are not as good as these, but the victory is in good physical condition, these horses at the moment after a night of wild galloping, there are no days of rest is not able to recover physical fitness.

If people are counted as animals, their physical reserves and ability to walk long distances are actually much stronger than those of horses......

The calculation time is almost up, Wen Zhongfa and Bald Man and others stood up one after another, Wen Zhongfa smiled at Zhang Han and said, "Team officer, you can't rest for too long......

Zhang Han was standing on the edge of the woodland and looking around because he had finished eating early, when he suddenly felt alarmed, and he didn't know why, his instinct was to shout: "Squat!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and everyone subconsciously squatted down!

Zhang Han himself was the first to bury his head, and then he heard the sound of collapse, and an iron arrow grazed Zhang Han's neck, and after a muffled sound, the arrow was inserted into the trunk of a small tree, and the body and feathers of the arrow buzzed violently.

Zhang Han felt a dull pain in his neck, he didn't dare to wipe it with his hand, but stretched out his right hand and took out his handcuff from his arms.

At this time, Wen Zhongfa and the others also took out all their handguns, and their riding guns and the rest of the weapons were in the horse's pockets, and they were in a hurry, and it was too late to get them.

The attackers should have seen that the long and short weapons of this group of cavalry were on the horses, so they advanced quickly, Zhang Han half-squatted on the ground, through the gap in the forest, he could see that there were more than a dozen people scattered in the woods and hurrying towards this side, each of them holding bows and arrows.

At this time, the sound of bows and arrows sounded one after another, and everyone was surprised that these bows and arrows were almost all shot in the direction where Zhang Han was, and the arrows kept breaking, because the distance was only twenty or thirty steps, so the shooting was fast and urgent, most of them were inserted in the trunk of the tree or on the ground, but if they shot like this, Zhang Han would definitely be hit by the arrow in the next round.

Wen Zhongfa and the others had a lot of combat experience, and when they saw that the situation was like this, Wen Zhongfa did not rush to make a move, but turned forward and attacked in the direction from which the enemy came.

The bald man and the others also hurriedly followed, and more than a dozen people scattered and dodged forward in the bushes and woodlands.

The oncoming Beiyu finally felt the pressure, and the bows and arrows in the hands of several people aimed at Wen Zhongfa and the others.

A northern captive man shouted and cursed, those people hesitated, and some people continued to aim their bows and arrows at Zhang Han's side.

More than a dozen Beiyu continued to walk forward quickly, bow and arrow after arrow, Zhang Han was already crouching on the ground, in front of him was a small tree with a thick bowl mouth, several arrows had been inserted in the trunk, all of them were coming head-on, and the rest of the arrows were either at his feet, or they were not far from his side, the sky was bright, the distance was close, and the Beilu was almost aiming at Zhang Han shooting, at this time Zhang Han couldn't move, as long as he dared to move, the arrows were likely to fall on his face and throat and other vital parts.

Beiyu also knew that the soldiers of He Yusheng had chain mail or iron armor, either stronger breastplate or piercing armor, and even the soldiers were mostly chainmail and piercing armor, and there was also a small amount of cotton iron armor, and the arrow did not have a great effect on them, if it was at close range, the best way was to shoot at the door or throat. Among the soldiers of He Yusheng, many of them have a pause under the iron helmet to protect the throat, and there is an iron mask to protect the door, and the fire gun can not be worn, fortunately, when the battle is also in the front, the fire gun hand is a little farther away, the protection of the chain mail is enough, if the arrow is in the air, as long as you lower your head, the iron helmet can be a good protection against the damage of the northern arrows.

At this time, Zhang Han was in the most dangerous situation, Wen Zhongfa and others' advance affected some of the northern captives, and the other northern captives still firmly shot while walking to the place where Zhang Han was.

Wen Zhongfa shouted: "Bald, you take a few people to continue to the southeast, and the rest will come with me." ”

The distance between the two people was less than twenty steps, and Wen Zhongfa cut diagonally in the southwest direction, just before the attack on Zhang Han's northern captives, and the two sides could already clearly see each other's facial expressions through the sparse woodland and shrubs.

"Be careful!"

A dozen or so northern captives are the first to throw throwing axes or swords!

Wen Zhongfa and the others are all experienced in a hundred battles, and their skills are very agile, and they all turn their bodies to dodge at the first time!

The buzzing sound of throwing axes and swords almost brushed the hair and the tip of their noses, the distance was too close, these Mongols were good throwers, they could hunt with throwing in the steppe, and when they threw not only at people, but even took into account people's dodge movements!

Someone let out a muffled snort, Wen Zhongfa turned his head to look, and a cavalryman's arm was grazed by a flying axe, blood splattered everywhere, and the injury was not light.

He still didn't give the order to fire, the distance at this time was only twenty-five or six paces, after the Beiyu tossed, a few people continued to shoot arrows to this side with the bead shooting method, and about half of the Beiyu big men drew their sabers and strode forward to rush over.

A cavalryman was covered in sweat, and the short gun in his hand was always aiming, and he sent a message to Wen Zhong: "Deputy Wen, do you want to fight?" ”

"Wait for my orders." Wen Zhongfa dodged the bow and arrow, and glanced at Zhang Han's side, seeing that Zhang Han was not hit by the arrow, he relieved himself and shouted, "Wait!" ”

The enemy entered within twenty steps in a blink of an eye, Wen Zhongfa still didn't let go, everyone's palms were sweating in a hurry, until only ten steps away, when the enemy had already swung his sword, Wen Zhongfa shouted: "Let go!" ”

Bang bang

The bald man on the left hand side was also ordered to be released at the same time!

Beiyu didn't expect that the cavalry here would still have firearms to shoot!

They kept observing when they were dozens of paces away, and Yusheng didn't have a firearm on his shoulder, nor a bow and arrow, and the long weapon and firearm should be in the pocket, they didn't expect that each of the cavalrymen on this side had a short handcuff in the palm of his hand!

Gunfire rang out one after another, and because they were so close, almost all of them were within ten paces, and at least half of the short guns hit the enemy! At least five or six Beiyu fell down in an instant, and the rest were all in a daze, after the release, Wen Zhongfa threw away the short gun in his hand, pulled out his saber, and rushed forward like a tiger!
