"Whoosh!"

"Poof!"

The last Tatar cavalryman, very cunning, played hide and seek with Xu Xingxia. The opponent's war horse has good stamina. However, Xu Xingxia is lightly dressed after all, and the war horse also has abundant physical strength. The distance between the two sides is gradually narrowing. Finally, thirty miles beyond the far pass of the town, Xu Xingxia hit the target with one arrow.

The Black Feather Arrow passes through the back of the target's heart and exits through his chest. Before the Tatar cavalry died, he looked back at Xu Xingxia with difficulty, as if he didn't want to believe that he would die in Xu Xingxia's hands. In the end, he fell to the sand unwillingly. This is already Ulan Bu and the desert, and the dried yellow sand is stained red with blood.

"It turned out to be a centurion!"

Xu Xingxia carefully examined it and came to a conclusion.

The centurion of the Tatar cavalry, still very powerful. They were all battle-hardened warriors who had shot at least fifty or more people. The cavalry of the Ming army in general was not their opponent at all. However, when he met Xu Xingxia, he could only say that he was unlucky. The black feather arrow can kill even a red deer weighing five or six hundred pounds in one blow, let alone a person?

"Whew!"

Xu Xingxia pulled out the black feather arrow.

These black feather arrows made of fine iron can continue to be used after wiping off the bloodstains. Xu Xingxia wiped the black feather arrow on the body of the Tartar centurion, and inserted it back into the quiver behind him, and then began to slowly examine the body of the Tartar centurion.

After careful inspection, Xu Xingxia found more than fifty taels of silver on the body of the Tartar centurion, as well as two small gold ingots, each weighing about three taels, and he didn't know where he grabbed it. When he had hidden the gold and silver, he threw the body of the Tartar centurion on horseback.

Now Xu Xingxia has found a path for himself to protect himself, that is, to be promoted as soon as possible and become a big official as soon as possible. Only when he becomes a senior official and has more human, financial and material resources can he have the ability to confront others, or influence others. Even if he can't fight Nurhachi for the time being, he must at least be able to fight Wei Zhongxian and Li Zicheng. After all, he debuted earlier than the two of them and has more advantages.

Xu Xingxia calculated his combat exploits and found that he had shot and killed twenty-three Tatar cavalrymen and was promoted to two levels, which was no problem at all. As for promotion to the third level, he didn't seem to have such a precedent in his mind. Above the general flag, it is not possible to simply use the head of the Tartar to calculate the merits. It doesn't matter much, though. As long as he can be promoted to the general flag, he is very satisfied. This matter of promotion and wealth must also be done step by step. When he makes the general banner, there will be more opportunities to build up his exploits.

After putting the centurion corpse of the Tatar cavalry away, Xu Xingxia turned over his horse, clamped the horse's belly, and slowly walked all the way back. The corpses of the six Tatar cavalrymen in the back were also scavenged by him for gold and silver, and then thrown the corpses on horseback. The corpses of these Tatar cavalrymen, together with their equipment, weighed one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, but they were lifted by Xu Xingxia with one hand, as if they were hay, and they were easily thrown on the horse's back.

On the bodies of these six Tatar cavalrymen, Xu Xingxia scavenged a total of about eighty taels of broken silver. Together with what was looted from the centurion, it was about one hundred and thirty taels. That's a small windfall. There are also some jewelry items that cannot be estimated for the time being. In the past, it was the Tatar cavalry who robbed others, but this time it was their turn to be robbed, which can be regarded as feng shui in turn.

The six black feather arrows that shot the six Tatar cavalry were also recovered by Xu Xingxia. These Black Feather Arrows, for now, are still very useful. The blacksmiths of Fort Weizhen may not be able to build it. In the end, Xu Xingxia came back alone with seven horses. The horses were carrying their original owners. The only difference is that their owners, who were originally seated and alive, are now lying down and dead.

"He's back!"

"Xu Xingxia is back!"

The others in Niujiaodun were cleaning the battlefield and hurriedly came up to greet Xu Xingxia when they saw him returning. People, including Chen Hai, seemed very enthusiastic. Of course, if you look closely, there is still a slight embarrassment in their enthusiasm. There is no way, their roles can't be completely changed for the time being.

People are like this, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Now they all realize that Xu Xingxia is not an ordinary person. Such a person can never be opposed. On the contrary, there will definitely be benefits to following such people. Fortunately, in the entire defenders of Niujiaodun, except for Liu Jinbiao, the others and Xu Xingxia have no unsolvable hatred.

When Chen Hai saw the corpses of the seven Tatar cavalry that Xu Xingxia brought back, he knew that all the Tatar cavalry had been shot by Xu Xingxia. His desire to kill people with a knife was frustrated, and his fear of Xu Xingxia became even more profound. He didn't want to be remembered by Xu Xingxia. Someone else can shoot twenty-three Tatar cavalry in one go, and if you want to kill him a Chen Hai, it's not a piece of cake? He hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said to Xu Xingxia: "Xu Xingxia, you have made a great contribution, and I want to ask my superiors to reward you." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, handed over all seven war horses to Chen Hai's hands, and took back all the sixteen black feather arrows from the hands of others, before he said lightly: "I didn't kill all the Tartars. As far as I know, I have only killed seven Tartars, three of them have been killed, two of them have been killed, and one of the other brothers has been killed. Well, excluding Liu Jinbiao. Liu Jinbiao was afraid of fighting with the Tartars and was injured by himself, so I suggested that he report to his superiors and punish him severely, we don't want such people. ”

Everyone around was slightly stunned. They didn't react for a while, and they all stared at Xu Xingxia a little woodenly, not understanding why he said that. After a long time, they realized what Xu Xingxia meant. Immediately, they all looked at each other in a flash of consciousness and laughed loudly with joy.

Xu Xingxia said this, just to give them some of the battle achievements. Except for Liu Jinbiao, everyone in Niujiaodun is not in vain. For a while, including Chen Hai, he was full of gratitude to Xu Xingxia. This battle exploit of killing the Tartars is heavy, and the reward from above is also quite rich. The rarest thing is that this is the supreme glory! In the entire Ningxia Town, how many people can cut the head of the Tartar?

Within the Ming army, there was already a tradition of killing the enemy and shrinking back and grabbing merit and fighting bravely to be the first. It's just that because of Xu Xingxia's ferocity, the people of Niujiaodun, including Chen Hai, don't dare to mess around. They just took away the broken silver from the Tartar's body, but the Tartar's head did not dare to chop it off, and the Tartar's war horse did not dare to take it away. In fact, these are the main credits. A little bit of silver is just better than nothing.

Now, with Xu Xingxia's permission, they immediately became excited. One by one, they brandished their weapons and poked them at the corpses of the Tartars to prove that they had been killed by themselves. When Gao Meng and Zhang Quanfu started, they were still a little reserved, and they felt embarrassed to ask for Xu Xingxia's credit. However, the two finally could not resist the temptation of the two Tartar heads, and each took up his own weapon and went up to get busy.

As for Chen Hai, he had already carried his spear, went up and stabbed each of the three Tartar corpses a few times, then cut off their heads, and then led the three Tartar war horses over. These Tartar war horses have no other advantages, that is, they have a very strong ability to run long distances, they need less forage, and the probability of disease is also low. In a word, easy to nourish and durable.

Soon, the sixteen Tartars who were shot by Xu Xingxia were all under their respective names. Except for Liu Jinbiao, everyone has at least one head. This made everyone present feel even more that Xu Xingxia was not only cruel, but also very vindictive. He is going to completely kill Liu Jinbiao. Needless to say, when the high-level arrives for a while, Xu Xingxia will definitely mention Liu Jinbiao alone, and his attitude just now is very clear, and he will be severely punished.

Under the charge of being afraid of war, Liu Jinbiao will not want to turn over for the rest of his life. This crime can be big or small. If you don't pursue it, the law doesn't blame the public, it's okay. But if it is investigated, it is not too much to kill the head and steal the family. The point is, is there anyone to defend you. However, in front of the head of the Tartars, who cares about Liu Jinbiao's life and death? Who will defend Liu Jinbiao? Even Chen Hai has completely forgotten the existence of Liu Jinbiao.

Chen Hai didn't understand why Xu Xingxia wanted to share his exploits with others. If it was his own exploits, he would never have been able to divide them evenly. He felt that Xu Xingxia must be too happy and a little carried away. This kid surnamed Xu is still a little young, and he is not experienced enough to be proud.

Of course, to be able to get the heads of three Tartars from Xu Xingxia's hands, Chen Hai was the most happy. Now he is most afraid that Xu Xingxia will suddenly regret it, and he will not share his war exploits. As for the beating just now, he completely forgot about it. He was very happy to be beaten and change the heads of three Tartars.

In fact, Xu Xingxia did this, of course, for his own reasons. With the heads of seven Tartars in hand, it is enough to be promoted to the general banner, and the rest of the battle exploits will not bring him much value. On the contrary, if you give your exploits to others, you can also gain their favor. After all, in the final analysis, the defenders of Niujiaodun are a whole. In the future, he is most likely to lead this whole. From now on, he will buy people's hearts.

Xu Xingxia was almost certain that after he was promoted to the general banner, his superiors would definitely have to guard the horn pier by himself. This is the most dangerous place, and it needs to be guarded by a strong officer. The Tatar cavalry heading south almost always passed through here. For Xu Xingxia, his wish is also to guard the strategic location of Niujiaodun. Because, only by guarding this place, can he shoot more Tartars and build more feats.

At the same time, many of his plans can only be carried out by Niujiaodun alone. Don't look at the establishment of only 30 people in Niujiaodun, in fact, places such as the Black Mountain Camp and Zhenyuanguan are all within the control of Niujiaodun. As long as he makes use of all these places, he can completely let it go. The purpose of giving Chen Hai the three Tartar heads is to transfer him away from Niujiaodun as soon as possible, so that he can take over. It is estimated that this is also something that Chen Hai is happy to accept.

If there is no accident, in the near future, he will be the boss of the bull horn pier. Except for Chen Hai and Liu Jinbiao, everyone else will be their subordinates. In fact, from now on, he Xu Xingxia can enter a new role. Playing a stick to a sweet jujube, grace and power, is the way of the emperor. Killing Liu Jinbiao is a murderous stick. The first level of the tartar is sweet dates.

The defenders of Niujiaodun are just such people, he doesn't expect to change a group of people with high consciousness, everyone's loyalty is 100. It's simply not possible. In the entire town of Ningxia, there are not a few outstanding characters. Otherwise, the Tatar cavalry would not have been so arrogant. Everything has to start slowly with these people.

Gao Meng slapped Xu Xingxia on the shoulder fiercely, and said loudly: "Brother, it's interesting enough!" Interesting! Wait for you to guard the horn pier, and our boss will follow you! When the time comes, our boss Gao will also kill a few Tartars with real guns! ”

Xu Xingxia nodded slightly, and said quietly: "Next time, I won't give you my battle merits." If you want to get merit, you have to rely on your own efforts. ”

Gao Meng said repeatedly: "That's right! That's right! ”

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves from the south,

Chen Hai and the others raised their toes and looked south, but they didn't see anything. However, if the guess is correct, it should be the arrival of official reinforcements from Pingyu City and Weizhen Fort.
