According to the information summed up by the officers and men of Ningxia Town, the distribution area of the Tatar tribe is very vast, and the entire desert is from north to south, from the east to the Harawen Mountains (Daxing'an Mountains) and to the west to the Jinshan Mountains (Altai Mountains). The former powerful Varat has been completely squeezed aside by the Tatars. From the perspective of the Ming army itself, the easternmost towns of Shanxi and the westernmost towns of Gansu were often interfered with by the Tatar cavalry.

The number of Tatar tribes is also very large, it is said that there are hundreds. Each time the Tatar cavalry went south, they probably belonged to a different tribe. Due to the large number of tribes and different demands, the number of Tatar cavalry that went south to loot each time was also uneven. There are hundreds, even thousands. Few, only a dozen people. In the 22nd year of Wanli, the Tatar cavalry invaded the south, which was the largest number, with a full 13,400 people.

"Ring the alarm bell!"

"Prepare for wolf smoke!"

Chen Hai shouted angrily.

Niujiaodun is the forefront of Ningxia Town, and it is the first place where Tartar was found. If the horn pier is not lit in time, the piers behind it, as well as Weizhen Fort, will be in danger. At this time, it was the spring of March, and a large number of people went to work in the fields, and if they were not notified in time, the people who were working in the fields would be shot by the Tartars. In the past, the people of Fort Weizhen died under the arrows of the Tartars.

"When! While! While! ”

Gao Meng rang the alarm bell hard, and the sound shook the four fields.

"Da Da Da!"

With the sound of bells, it spread far away, and the figure of the Tatar cavalry became clearer and clearer. At this time, the shadow of the Tatar cavalry could already be clearly seen. However, due to the relative distance, the Tatar cavalry overlapped each other, and it was not possible to accurately estimate the number of people for the time being. According to past experience, it should have been more than twenty Tatar cavalry.

Every time the Tatars went south to raid, there were not many of them. Because, they knew very well that the Ming army in Ningxia Town would not go out of the city to intercept them. As long as they do not go deep into the vicinity of Ningxia towns and towns, they will not be strongly hindered by burning, killing and looting in the fields of various places. A small number of Ming troops were dispatched, and they were not their opponents at all. Once the field troops of the Ming army of the brigade attacked, they could quickly flee away, so that the Ming army could not catch up, could not fight, and was helpless.

This kind of looting mode of robbing when you come and leaving after grabbing makes Ningxia Town feel very headaches. Don't attack to meet the battle, the Tatar cavalry is too arrogant again. The place that they ravaged can be described as a blank field, and the losses are heavy. Take the initiative and you won't be able to catch up with the enemy. If one is not done well, it is also easy to be shot by Tatar cavalry.

Until now, Ningxia Town did not have an effective way to deal with the Tatar cavalry. There is also no consistent action strategy among the top management. Some generals like to attack and fight, and some generals like to defend passively. In the area where Fort Weizhen was located, it was absolutely passively defensive, and it was absolutely not in favor of taking the initiative, unless it was a small number of Tatar cavalry.

"Light two piles of wolf smoke!"

Chen Hai ordered with a gloomy face.

Zhang Quanfu hurriedly lit two piles of wolf smoke. According to the signaling regulations, each pile of wolf smoke represented ten Tatar cavalry. If it is below four piles of wolf smoke, the Ming army can still go out of the city to meet it. As the location of the Thousand Households guarding the Thousand Households, Peng Feng, the Thousand Households Lord of Pingyu City, has more than 100 armed families in his hands, and he still has a little combat effectiveness. Coupled with the reinforcements sent by Deng Rubai, the commander of the Ningxia avant-garde guard, forty or fifty Tatar cavalry could be driven away. Well, it's a drive, not annihilation. To be able to drive the Tatar cavalry away is not bad. It's too difficult to destroy them.

If all five piles of wolf smoke were lit, it would be a brigade of Tatar cavalry. At this time, all the Ming troops under the jurisdiction of Pingyu had to shrink up and strictly guard their forts. As long as the bunker is not breached, the mission is completed. As for the attacking Tatar cavalry, they had to wait for the chief officer of Ningxia Town to send soldiers to deal with it. In Ningxia Town, the recruited soldiers are the main combat effectiveness.

"Da Da Da!"

The ranks of the Tatar cavalry, getting closer.

Xu Xingxia narrowed his eyes and silently counted the number of Tatar cavalry. Soon, he got an accurate answer. In total, twenty-three Tatar cavalry. These damned Tatar cavalrymen, and the Tatar cavalry who shot and wounded his father, were almost identical. Even, the hideous look on the face of the Tatar cavalry, Xu Xingxia vaguely remembered.

Seeing the Tatar cavalry approaching, everyone in the horn pier was silent. This is a consistent practice, silently watching, never moving. Because, once you move, you risk being besieged by the Tartar cavalry. The arrows of the Tartars are too powerful, accurate and ruthless, even with the help of the beacon pier, I am afraid that casualties will not be avoided. If you are not careful, you may be killed by the arrows of the Tartars. They have completed the task of calling the police. The rest of the task of killing the enemy is the matter of Senhu and Weili.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, the whistling sound of arrows was heard.

"Smack!"

With the roar of arrows, a Tatar cavalryman suddenly fell to the ground.

Because of the incoming arrows, it is very ferocious and very accurate. The action of the Tatar cavalry falling to the ground was also very neat. As if he had known that he was going to be shot, he fell off his horse at once, bouncing on the ground a few times like a defeated flop, and finally bent into a strange shape, never to move again.

"Whoosh!"

The other Tatar cavalry, before they had time to see what was going on, did not even slow down even a star and a half at the speed of their gallop, and another arrow whistled away.

"Poof!"

Another Tatar cavalryman fell from his horse.

The fields swept by the Tatar cavalry had already grown tender green grass tips, and from a distance, they were green. The Tatar cavalry, dressed in black, swept through the green fields as if they were a swarm of black vermin. When they fell, they were like pests that had suddenly died, wallowing desperately in the field.

"Xu Xingxia! You are crazy? ”

Chen Hai scolded in shock and anger.

It was Xu Xingxia who suddenly shot the arrow.

If it was Xu Xingxia in the past, he would definitely be like everyone else, silently letting go of these Tatar cavalry. In the past, he had no ability to deal with these Tatar cavalry. But now, it's absolutely impossible. Now he has enough skills to shoot them. What's more, he wants these Tartars to pay for their father's life.

"Xu Xingxia? Is it him again? ”

Everyone in Niujiaodun stared at Xu Xingxia with strange faces.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that Xu Xingxia was able to kill the Tatar cavalry running at high speed with a single arrow. The distance of the Tatar cavalry from the horn mound was at least a hundred meters, which was completely beyond the effective range of the elm bow. The speed of the Tatar cavalry was so fast that even Zhang Quanfu, who was quite confident in archery, was not sure to hit the target. When did Xu Xingxia have such magical archery?

Thinking of Xu Xingxia's ability to fight just now, everyone's hearts were even more puzzled. This Xu Xingxia, why did he go home to recuperate for a few days after being injured, as if he was a different person? When did his ability become so powerful? If it weren't for Xu Xingxia's appearance, which was no different from before, they couldn't help but wonder if someone had impersonated him.

If you want to talk about the ability to fight, suddenly become powerful, maybe it can be described as a miracle. However, the changes in archery are indescribable by miracles. The improvement speed of archery is much slower than the improvement speed of hand-to-hand combat skills. Without years or even decades of hard work, it would be impossible for Xu Xingxia to be at his current level. What level is Xu Xingxia now? It's completely a level of 100 steps through the Yang, 100 shots!

Xu Xingxia didn't care about the surprise of others at all, let alone any response. He just silently concentrated on archery. Now he had only those Tatar cavalry, those Tatar cavalry locked by his arrows. Between him and them, there is an enmity against the heavens. Thinking about the wounds on his father's legs, and thinking of the fields that the Xu family was forced to abandon, his only thought was to kill all the Tatar cavalry, leaving no one behind.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! ”

In a short period of time, Xu Xingxia shot five arrows in a row.

Five arrowheads, just enough to put down five Tatar cavalry, not a single arrow missed.

The speed of the arrow was unusually surprised even by Xu Xingxia himself. Each of his movements seems to be completely free of the brain's command, and is completely reflexive. It only takes up to two seconds to shoot an arrowhead. Don't even aim at the target. As soon as he strikes, he absolutely hits.

In fact, it is. Every arrow shot was accompanied by the fall of a Tatar cavalry. No matter how fast the Tatar cavalry galloped, whether they had already taken evasive actions or not, whether they subconsciously tried to fight back, Xu Xingxia could easily shoot them.

There is no mercy, no forgiveness, no compassion. Xu Xingxia's heart is as hard as a stone. Thinking of his father's crippled legs, thinking of his father's sallow face, and thinking of the stunted bodies of his younger brothers and sisters, Xu Xingxia felt that his whole body was enveloped in a thick anger. If it weren't for these damned Tatar cavalry, how could their home be so miserable?

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them all! This was the only thought in Xu Xingxia's mind. When he picked up the bow and arrows, he felt as if his whole body had endless power. The galloping Tatar cavalry were like snails crawling in front of him, and he could pinch them all to death with a slight stretch of his hand. That's right, that's what it feels like. Although, Xu Xingxia doesn't know how this feeling came from.

"Whoosh!"

"Smack!"

"Whoosh!"

"Smack!"

The people in the horn pier were all suppressed. They could barely see Xu Xingxia's archery movements. Xu Xingxia's movements looked like an illusion. All they could hear was rhythmic sounds—the whistling of arrowheads, the screams of Tatar cavalry falling to the ground. Every time an arrow was fired, a Tatar cavalry fell to the ground.

For a time, the Tatar cavalry was furious and went crazy.

They didn't expect that this looting was actually a journey of death!
