"Your Excellency?"

Gao Meng saw Xu Xingxia in a daze, so he whispered beside him.

He was a little strange why the white-clothed army succeeded in killing Tuoba Su, but Xu Xingxia seemed to look more dignified. Before the battle began, Xu Xingxia did not have such a reaction. It stands to reason that after killing the big scourge of Tuoba Su, Xu Xingxia should be happy. Shouldn't we be happy if we have won a battle?

This battle was unprecedentedly smooth, and the disaster that the high-level leaders of Ningxia Town could not solve in more than ten years, and the white-clothed army only needed to dispatch a tiger and leopard cavalry detachment to easily solve it. The power of the moon gun is indeed too strong. As long as Tuoba Su's head is taken back, the prestige of the white-clothed army will definitely be raised by a notch.

The benefits of a real surname are also visible. The horse thief with a pimple of Ao Bao, without the leader of Tuoba Su, must have no combat effectiveness. The warriors of the tiger and leopard ride only need to turn halfway to Ao Bao Pimple to dig up all the nests of Tuoba Su. It is certain that in Tuoba Su's lair, there will be no shortage of gold and silver treasures.

"Hmm."

Xu Xingxia came back to his senses and rubbed his temples vigorously.

Inadvertently penetrated Tuoba Su's plan, Xu Xingxia could obviously feel the tension in his heart. The huge pressure fell on his shoulders at once. There is no doubt that this is a huge conspiracy and will likely cause great losses to Ningxia Town. Although Tuoba Su was killed, the Beacon Pier of Kalong Mountain was also saved. However, the fact of the arrival of the Tartars, however, was inevitable. In two days at most, the Tartar army will be killed.

How many people will come from the Tartars? It's not clear for the time being, but it's estimated that it won't be less. Sporadic Tartar operations, can Tuoba Su be dispatched in person? Of course not! Therefore, the Tartars who arrived this time were at least more than a thousand. If they are allowed to break into Ningxia Town, even if there is a prior warning, Ningxia Town will definitely suffer great trauma. It is impossible for early warning to eliminate all hidden dangers. Tartars can always find an opportunity to kill and set fires.

What's worse is that if the number of Tartars is more than 3,000, Ningxia Town will suffer the risk of being slaughtered. The pressure on an ordinary castle, such as Fort Weizhen, will be very great. Other castles don't have as strong a defense as Fort Weizhen. Back then, only two thousand Tartars went south, and four castles would have fallen.

The best way, of course, is to block the Tartars on the west side of Helan Mountain, so that they can't get in at all. It's a pity that Xu Xingxia has too few troops in his hands to be used. The only thing that can be used is the natural fortress advantage of Helan Mountain. Will the ruined canyon passage be able to stop the Tartars' army? It's harder. The Tartars still have a lot of manpower, and they only need to flatten the gravel, which is a new path that can be continued.

Of course, it will take some time to close the passage and reopen it. However, with the ability of the Tartar, it will take a maximum of two days to open the passage. If the way to block the canyon can block the Tartars from entering, these canyons would have been blocked a long time ago. In fact, in addition to blocking the canyon, it is necessary to build a powerful fortress and equip a strong guard team to really block the Tartars from entering. Building a fortress is simply impossible for the time being, don't think about it.

"Gao Meng, check the weapons and ammunition!" Xu Xingxia said subconsciously.

"Understood!" Gao Meng immediately turned around and left.

Xu Xingxia held his hands and paced back and forth on the rocks. He made up his mind to block the Tartars on the west side of Helan Mountain. He was ready to get up close and personal with the Tartars, using his advantage to inflict a little damage on the Tartars, forcing them to retreat. This advantage is the powerful lethality of the Moon Gun and its ultra-long range. If the number of Tartars falling under the guns of the moon is too large, they may retreat.

"My lord, it's been counted, and everyone still has more than 280 rounds of Mini bullets! Plenty of them! It's just that the number of explosives packs is not much, only four. Soon, Gao Meng came up to report the inspection.

Because the military operation of the white-clothed army was to deal with a fierce figure like Tuoba Su, and Xu Xingxia's special orders, the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry carried Mini ammunition very sufficiently. Each of them carried at least three hundred rounds of Mini. The shooting speed of the moon gun was very slow, and in the battle just now, everyone fired only a dozen shots.

Anyway, a Mini bullet weighing more than twenty pounds is nothing if it hangs under the horse's belly. As for the cartridge propellant, it is even lighter. The tigers and leopards are equipped with Mongolian horses. Don't look at these Mongolian horses are inconspicuous, but the weight-bearing capacity is really good. The weight below 300 catties is still difficult to overwhelm them. The total weight of each soldier was less than three hundred catties.

What is insufficient is the explosive package. Originally, when I went out, I only brought ten explosives bags. Because of the need to blow up the canyon just now, it's almost used. Now in Yun Qifeng's hands, there are only four explosives bags.

"Let's go!"

"To Karon Mountain!"

Xu Xingxia said without hesitation.

If you want to block the attack of the Tartars and force the Tartars to retreat, the best place is, of course, Karon Mountain. Where even dragons can get stuck, what are a few Tartars stuck? As long as he occupies the advantage of the terrain and gives full play to the power of the Yue Yue Gong, Xu Xingxia is confident enough to make the Tartar pay an unbearable price.

"Damn Tartar again!"

"Want to get past here? Leave your life behind! ”

He informed all the warriors of the Tartars' imminent arrival. As a result, the warriors of the tiger and leopard rode were very excited and angry. Paralyzed, the Tartar is really ghostly, and he actually wants to enter Ningxia Town from here. This Tuoba Suli is connected to foreign countries, and he is innocent...... Well, it is highly likely that Tuoba Su himself is a foreigner!

For killing the Tartars, none of the soldiers of the white-clothed army will not flinch in the slightest. The decision to go to the Beacon Pier on Karon Mountain was immediately executed. The fighters didn't even have time to take the loot away. Including the head of Tuoba Su, they were all temporarily found a place to store them, marked them, and transported away when they returned. There was no place to store the captured war horses, so they had to continue to take them with them.

This time the ambush of the Tuoba Su bandits, the harvest of the white-clothed army is quite rich. There were four sacks filled with gold, silver, and jewelry. Each sack is heavy, estimated to weigh at least a hundred catties, and it takes a tiger and leopard warrior to hold it with both hands. Xu Xingxia opened the sack and checked it carefully, and found that there were no silver ingots or anything like that, and the worst ones were gold ingots. There are also a lot of jadeite, pearls and the like.

The wealth of four sacks is estimated to be worth at least thirty or forty thousand taels. If you continue to think about it, you can conclude that a large number of silver ingots should still be in the nest of horse thieves with pimples. Compared to those rare treasures, silver ingots are probably the least valuable. Tuoba Su went on the road with so much wealth, presumably as a meeting gift for the Tartars. As a result, the Tartar did not see it, and the greeting gift was also taken away by the white-clothed army. This trip is not a loss!

It's a bit of a pity that Xu Xingxia doesn't have a suitable channel for selling stolen goods, and many of the rare treasures that have been seized may not be sold at a good price. For example, jade, jade, agate and other things are of no use to the poor. Only by selling to the rich area can it be profitable. If it is sold to the capital or Jiangnan, the price will be better. It's a pity that he doesn't have such a channel for the time being. Wang Qinian is not a big business at first glance. It's okay to get some diamonds, but if you want to sell jade and jade, I'm afraid you won't be able to.

Probably for some reason, when Tuoba Su arrived, he carried more than 30 more war horses than the accompanying personnel. Except for the four sacks that were specially designed to carry four sacks full of wealth, the rest of the war horses were basically carrying all kinds of dry food, and the portions were very sufficient. It is estimated that it is also to help the Tartars who came from the Great Desert. There is clear water in the beacon pier of Karon Mountain, and the clear water does not need to be carried specially.

"Let's go!"

After making preparations, Xu Xingxia set off with the tiger and leopard.

Starting from Suweikou and heading in the direction of Mt. Karon, there is also a deep and curved canyon. On both sides of the canyon, there are still craggy and steep rocks. After walking for fifty or sixty miles, the canyon along the way gradually opened up. Moving on, the terrain continues to be wide. In the widest place, even twenty war horses can be walked side by side. However, after approaching Karon Mountain, the terrain gradually became dangerous.

After walking for a day and a night, in the second half of the next night, Xu Xingxia and others arrived near the remnants of Kalong Mountain. Xu Xingxia estimated the distance, starting from Suweikou to Kalong Mountain, at least nearly three hundred miles away. If it weren't for the war horses, but on foot, it was estimated that there would be no three or five days, and it would not be possible to walk at all. This is indeed a place where even ghosts will be forgotten.

"My lord, this should be Karon Mountain."

Lin Hainiu, who was in charge of leading the way, looked around and said uncertainly.

He was more familiar with the situation around Suweikou, but he was relatively unfamiliar with the situation at Karon Mountain. In fact, due to the long distance, few people in Ningxia Town come to Kalong Mountain. Those military households who were assigned to garrison the beacon pier in Karon Mountain basically had the idea of being exiled. The vast majority of people are not liked by their superiors, so they will be thrown to Caron Mountain.

"Look around."

Xu Xingxia nodded and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, there is a small flag officer who said he was waiting for us."

As a result, not long after his order was issued, Zhang Feng, who was a reconnaissance outpost, came back to report that there was actually a small flag officer of the Ming army in front of him, waiting for their arrival. Before he could identify himself, the other party couldn't wait to complain, saying that he had been waiting here for two days, and during this time, he also mentioned Tuoba Su's name. Zhang Feng sensed that something was wrong, so he fooled the small flag officer back.
