There are still some young women in Weizhen Fort, and if the Tartars break through Weizhen Fort, their fate is already doomed. Whether they are dead or alive, in this life, they will never be able to wash away the stains on their bodies. Rather than live in humiliation forever, they might as well be dead. Even a girl as young as Niu Niu is no exception.

Girl? Xu Xingxia subconsciously looked in the direction where his thatched house was located. He didn't see Niu Niu, and he didn't see Fuyuko. Perhaps, they should be hiding in the firewood room now. Can a firewood house protect them? Of course not. But, at least, the enclosed space of the firewood room, can give them a little psychological comfort.

Xu Xingxia took a deep breath. He felt that he should do something, that he had to do something. In times of war, women are always the most hurt group. If the Tartars break through Weizhen Fort this time, such a dark scene will definitely be repeated. He must do everything possible to prevent this tragedy from happening.

After straightening the iron-backed bow behind him, Xu Xingxia walked quickly to the stairs, looked at the panicked crowd around him, and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone! There are not many Tartars! I'm Xu Xingxia here! The meritorious soldiers of Niujiaodun are also here! If you want to live, follow my command and don't run around! ”

His voice was very loud, and his breath was very sufficient, and this loud shout could be heard by the whole people of Weizhen Fort. The panicked crowd slowly quieted down. In this chaotic time, it is indeed great to be able to hear Xu Xingxia's calm voice. Many people pinned their only hope on Xu Xingxia.

That's right, the soldiers of Niujiaodun are all here, and they have killed more than 20 Tartars. Especially this Xu Xingxia, one person killed seven Tartars. The Tartars who came this time, that is, thirty or forty, are not much. With them, Fort Weizhen will definitely be safe. At the very least, before Xu Xingxia fell, Weizhen Fort would not be breached.

"Brothers of Niujiaodun, show your courage! The safety of Fort Weizhen is in your hands! The safety of your parents, brothers and sisters is in your hands! If you don't want your family to suffer from the poisonous hands of the Tartars, you have to go out! And the Tartars desperately! If you're a softbone, I'm sorry, you're only going to be slaughtered! ”

"All the fathers and villagers of Weizhen Fort, the Tartars are coming, this is something that cannot be helped! Since the superiors can't control us, we have to take care of ourselves! As the saying goes, if we want to survive, we have to put out 12 points of strength! I now command you, as long as you can, take up arms and prepare for battle! Any act of cowardice and evasion of war will be punished by military law! ”

Xu Xingxia's voice continued to echo in Weizhen Fort. At this time, Weizhen Fort was extraordinarily quiet. All the military households were subconsciously listening to Xu Xingxia's every word. Hearing the words military sanctions, some military households couldn't help but look awe-inspiring. Xu Xingxia's tone was not high, but his tone was very domineering, and he did not hesitate to move out of the mountain sanctioned by military law. There is no doubt that once someone is really cowardly and avoids the war, Xu Xingxia will really enforce military law. Murder is a common occurrence in times of war.

If there are other officers here, maybe Xu Xingxia's will is not very important. However, now, in the entire Weizhen Fort, there is only one general flag of Xu Xingxia. As the highest-ranking officer, his will is crucial. After all, the people of Weizhen Fort are all military households, and they are used to obeying orders from their superiors. Xu Xingxia's will is an order. Any violation of the order will be dealt with seriously.

Those soldiers in Niujiaodun, after listening to Xu Xingxia's words, immediately found that the eyes of the young people around them were a little different. Their eyes are expectant, and they are slightly frightened. At this time, even the most fritters have to show a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance at this time. No matter what you say, you can't let others look down on you. Dog's Tartar, I'm going to kill you today!

"Da Da Da!

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of horses' hooves grew faster and closer.

Soon, more than thirty tartars appeared in Xu Xingxia's sight. Their attire was not much different from the Tatar cavalry they had seen before. Probably from afar, the leather armor of these Tatar cavalry was stained with a lot of dust. The war horses under their crotches are basically earthy gray. The Tatar cavalry going south had a little difficulty in crossing Ulan Bu and the desert.

"They left too early......" Xu Xingxia couldn't help but shake his head and whispered to himself. Deng Rubai, Wu Datou, Peng Feng and other high-ranking officials, even the number of Tartar cavalry, had not even figured out, so they retracted back to Pingyu City in a panic, which was really a strange thing. If such a thing happens, I am afraid that the military households of Weizhenbao will abandon them. The high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty were so afraid of fighting?

The soldiers commanded by Wu Datou are not to mention for the time being, Deng Rubai is the commander of the guard! A guard in the Ming Dynasty had 5,000 households and 5,560 officers and soldiers, which was equivalent to a brigade in later generations. With the strength of a brigade, you can't deal with the strength of a platoon of Tartars, damn, I'm not afraid of jokes! Even if it is more than 5,000 pigs, it can hold the Tartar to death! What's more, the two hundred cavalry around Deng Rubai also have a little combat effectiveness!

"Zhang Quanfu!"

Xu Xingxia shouted loudly again.

Zhang Quanfu carried the elm bow and hurriedly ran over.

Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Tell the brothers to relax, isn't it just more than thirty tartars?" What are you doing so nervous? Everyone should think that each tartar has thirty taels of silver, and after this battle, we may have thousands of taels of silver in the account! This is the Tartar who sent us money! We should be happy! ”

Zhang Quanfu smiled slightly bitterly in his heart. Mr. Xu, you can say this. You're so good at archery that's what you say. Our archery skills are no match for the Tatar cavalry. The Tartars have brought you money, but they want our lives. How can we compare to you? It's good to be able to keep your last name.

However, the strange thing is that thinking of this, Zhang Quanfu felt that his heart seemed to be a little uncomfortable. At first, it was just a little uncomfortable, but later, it slowly became awkward. There was a thought that lingered in his mind over and over again. Why can he, Xu Xingxia, kill so many Tartars at one time, but I can't? Am I really that much worse than him? Am I really not a match for the Tartars?

The elm bow in my hand is also sharp, and it is also a sharp weapon for killing, and it can also kill people when shot at people's bodies. I don't believe that if I shoot an arrow and hit the Tartar's body, the Tartar will not react at all! Unconsciously, Zhang Quanfu, who was originally like a stagnant water, already had a little idea of being competitive. He secretly encouraged himself to kill a Tartar with his own hands.

Slowly suppressing the new god that was stirring in his heart, Zhang Quanfu said slowly: "Mr. Xu, I also hope to have the opportunity to shoot the Tartar with my own hands." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded confidently, stared sharply at the outside of the castle, and said firmly: "You follow me, pay attention to my gestures at any time, I will create opportunities for you." ”

Zhang Quanfu said in a low tone: "Okay." ”

"Da Da Da!"

As he spoke, the Tatar cavalry had already reached the front of Fort Weizhen.

Xu Xingxia carefully counted and found that there were a total of thirty-five Tatar cavalry. The one who takes the lead should still be a Tartar centurion. Judging from their appearance, they are not much different from those Tartars they saw before. However, if you look closely, you can still find some nuances.

Compared with the previous wave of Tatar cavalry, this wave of Tatar cavalry seems to be more tired. The war horses under their crotches all looked tired, and their steps were slightly frivolous. The layman can't see it, but the insider notices it at a glance. It seems that they should have traveled a farther way before they reached the territory of Ningxia Town.

To say, the Tatars in the desert are indeed not happy. Since their expulsion from the Central Plains, the Tatars have not had a strong khanate and have not been able to unify the entire Tatar region. Several of the larger Tatar tribes, vying each other for the position of Khan, killed themselves quite violently. However, in the process of killing each other, the Tatars' cavalry and archery skills have also become more powerful, and the combat ability of individual soldiers is also very strong.

By the forty-fourth year of Wanli, there were hundreds of tribes large and small within the Tatars. Of these, there are three of the largest tribes. There are more than a dozen tribes of medium power. The weaker tribes have hundreds. In order to increase the power of the tribe, it is necessary to loot more supplies and rob more people. In order to plunder more people and materials, almost every Tatar tribe will send people south to Ningxia Town to burn and loot.

This is also the most headache for the Ming army in Ningxia Town. The raids of the Tatars were indeed too scattered and unorganized. Each Tatar tribe, acting on its own, rarely had the opportunity to unite. Except for particularly cold winters, the Tatars could have arrived at any other time. The Ming army could not predict in advance when and how many Tatar cavalry would enter Ningxia Town.

The area controlled by the Tatars is indeed too extensive. From the easternmost Great Khingan Mountains to the westernmost Altai Mountains, it is an area of Tatar activity. In other words, throughout the northern part of the Ming Kingdom, there were large and small Tatar tribe activities. From the easternmost town of Liaodong to the westernmost town of Gansu, there was a risk of being attacked by the Tatars.
