After eating, Wang went to wash the dishes, Dongzi continued to look through the illustrated version of Journey to the West, and Niuniu, Da Nan, and Xiao Nan continued to play hand shadow games in front of the candlelight. For these little girls, the only entertainment activity at night is probably to play hand shadow play. The hand shadow play is very energetic, so I don't remember to pester Xu Xingxia to continue telling the story.

After a while, Wang boiled hot water and beckoned everyone to take a bath. All four children can take a bath by themselves, and there is no need for adults to worry about it. Xu Xingxia and Wang Shi wiped Xu Fuqing's body again, and replaced all the herbs on the wound. Due to the improvement of the family's economic conditions, the doctor in Weizhenbao also paid a lot of attention to Xu Fuqing's wound and used some better herbs, and Xu Fuqing's leg wound has been significantly improved.

According to the doctor, the arrows of the Tartar did not actually hit Xu Fuqing's vital leg, and the tendons and bones were not injured. As long as you keep it for a while, it is still possible to recover. Of course, it is impossible to heal in a short time. After all, when he was injured, he did not receive timely treatment, which caused the wound to become inflamed and rotten, which greatly aggravated the injury. Now it takes a lot of effort to get rid of these hand tails. Xu Xingxia had no choice but to comfort his father and recuperate with peace of mind.

Xu Xingxia didn't need to take a bath, and after helping his father wipe his body clean, he fell to sleep. Under the conditions at that time, it was impossible to take a bath once a day in this place in Ningxia Town. Basically, everyone only takes a shower once in ten days and half a month. When there was a war, I didn't even take a shower for two or three months. Usually, I wash my feet and go to sleep.

"Slept? I'm Guangliang! ”

Suddenly, someone called outside, but it was Liu Guangliang who came.

Xu Xingxia hurriedly got up, went out, opened the wooden door, and invited Liu Guangliang in.

When Liu Guangliang saw Xu Xingxia, he said excitedly: "I knew you didn't sleep." The black feather arrow you wanted, Guo Fuquan handed it over to me, and I came overnight to hand it over to you. ”

It turned out that he had brought the fifty black feather arrows that Xu Xingxia needed. He also knew that the soldiers were in danger, and these weapons to kill the enemy were handed over to Xu Xingxia a quarter of an hour earlier, and Weizhen Fort would be safer. Therefore, despite the fact that it was night, he sent the Black Feather Arrow. The current Xu Xingxia is the core pillar of the Weizhenbao military households.

"Thank you." Xu Xingxia nodded and took all the black feather arrows. He carefully stroked the black feather arrows with his hand, deeply satisfied. Guo Fuquan is indeed an expert in making bows and arrows, as long as he is dedicated, he can indeed create a lot of fine products. These black-feathered arrows he created, with slender shafts and sharp arrows, were indeed of very good quality. There was no need to inspect it, Xu Xingxia knew that these newly created black feather arrows were more lethal than the original black feather arrows.

With eighty black feather arrows to defend himself, Xu Xingxia was fearless. Eighty black feather arrows are enough to shoot eighty tartars. For this, Xu Xingxia still has full self-confidence. As long as the Tartar didn't attack the horn pier like crazy, he didn't need to be afraid.

……

After Liu Guangliang left, there was nothing to do overnight. When he got up the next morning, Xu Xingxia prepared his things and prepared to return to Niujiaodun. As soon as he opened the wooden door, he found that outside, Liu Heng and Yu Lijun were waiting for him. Behind them, there were thirteen soldiers who passed the assessment yesterday. They are all waiting for Xu Xingxia here and returning to Niujiaodun together.

"Go get the horses first, then go get the weapons."

"Yu Lijun, you are responsible for distributing weapons."

"Zhang Quanfu, you are responsible for distributing the war horses."

Xu Xingxia said briefly.

There are a lot of war horses and newly created weapons in Niujiaodun, which are stored in Weizhen Fort, which can just come in handy at this time. Of the original 30 pieces of equipment, only about two-thirds of them have been built, and there are only 20 sets. Fortunately, there are only a dozen people around Xu Xingxia, and everyone can just get a new set of equipment.

Soon, everyone received a war horse and a new set of equipment. Including all the mandarin duck battle jackets, all the bows and arrows, all the scimitars. Since it is mainly mounted archery, the main weapon that everyone receives is, of course, all the curved bows. Xu Xingxia specially checked the quality of the bow and arrows, and felt that it was not bad.

All this is because of Xu Xingxia's previous special request, requiring craftsmen to engrave their names on weapons and equipment. With such a request, the craftsmen of Weizhen Fort did not dare to be sloppy, and when they were building weapons, they were all engrossed in ensuring the quality. Therefore, the quality of these weapons and equipment obtained by Xu Xingxia is quite good. It's much better than the ones in the previous ones.

"Yes, really good."

Even Yu Lijun couldn't help but praise it.

Not to mention Mao Thirteen and the others, they all couldn't put down checking all their equipment. A good set of equipment is very important for them. No one wants their own weapons and equipment, problems on the battlefield. That's going to cost you a head. Mao Thirteen used to be a horse thief, but he had never used such a good weapon. As the equipment of the regular army, as long as the quality is guaranteed, it must be much better than the horse thief.

"Let's go!"

Xu Xingxia waved his hand and led his subordinates to set off towards Niujiaodun.

When I returned to Niujiaodun, it was just breakfast time, and Lao Yang Tou had already prepared for everyone's rebellion in advance. There are only two kinds of breakfast in Niujiaodun, one is steamed bread and the other is porridge. There are big baskets of steamed buns, large barrels of porridge, and some pickled radishes and other pickles on the side. Those who like steamed bread eat steamed bread, and those who like porridge eat porridge. Of course, it's okay to do both together. There is no limit to the amount of portions, until you are full.

The recruits who had long been envious of Niujiaodun's food, and with Xu Xingxia's order, they all broke into the canteen and hurriedly ate it. Some people take five or six big steamed buns in one go, and they don't care whether they can eat them or not. Lao Yang Tou saw it in his eyes and shouted anxiously: "I must finish eating, I must finish eating." If anyone takes more and doesn't finish it, I'll report it to the Lord of the Hundred Households. ”

A group of hungry recruits turned a deaf ear to Lao Yangtou's warning, and just lowered their heads and gnawed on steamed buns desperately. Mao Shisan's bite was the most fierce, and he actually opened the bow left and right, constantly stuffing it into his mouth from both sides. When Xu Xingxia saw him eating steamed buns, he knew that when he was a horse thief before, he must have been hungry. Chen Shouwang and Liu Heng and others are not inferior. Lin Dacheng actually ate ten steamed buns in one go, which scared Lao Yangtou, for fear that he would die of a belly break, so he said that he would not give him porridge. Alas, what a bunch of bitter children.

"Da Da Da ......"

As soon as breakfast was over, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the north.

The old soldier of Niujiaodun immediately reacted. Without any command, they quickly put down their dishes and chopsticks, like rabbits, and hurried into the horn pier, grabbed their weapons, and went up to the top floor.

Tartars!

Damn Tartar again!

Zhang Quanfu was the first to shout: "The Tartars are here!" ”

Soon, the shouts of the lookout post were also heard from above: "Here comes the Tartars!" ”

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

The alarm bell kept ringing, and the sound shook all over the world.

To the south of Niujiaodun, several herdsmen were grazing, and when they heard the alarm bell, they hurriedly gathered their sheep and desperately evacuated to Weizhenbao in the south. In places that are not visible to the naked eye, there are also a large number of people, in a rapid retreat.

"Line up to enter the pier!"

"Don't panic!"

Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice.

He stood at the pier gate, staring at each of the recruits who arrived. The first time the recruits arrived at Niujiaodun, they encountered Tartars, which was certainly not what Xu Xingxia wanted to see. However, since the Tartar is here, he will definitely not back down. Now, it's time to put these recruits to the test.

Whether you are afraid of the Tartars or not, and whether you have the ability to kill the Tartars, is the easiest to see in actual combat. Under his personal command, all the recruits of Niujiaodun entered the pier smoothly. They followed the stairs in an orderly manner until they reached the top floor of the Horn Pier.

When Xu Xingxia came to the top, it was already heavily guarded. The recruits who had just arrived at Niujiaodun and were facing actual combat were all half-squatting and hiding behind the battlements under Zhang Quanfu's order, waiting for the battlement. Xu Xingxia walked to the back of the battlements and looked outside, and sure enough, there were many black spots on the northern field. The black dots are getting closer and larger, and finally they are connected into a black cloud.

There was no need to distinguish carefully, Xu Xingxia knew that the number of Tartars must have exceeded fifty. Tartars with less than fifty people will certainly not be able to form a black cloud. Therefore, Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice: "Light five piles of beacon fires." ”

The five piles of beacons represent the large number of Tartars, more than fifty people. According to past experience, such a number of Tartars, Qianhu and Weili, can no longer be dealt with alone, and must ask the town's soldiers to dispatch.

If the number of Tartars is too large to even be dealt with by Ningxia Town alone, Guyuan Town in the south, Yansui Town in the east, and Gansu Town in the west will all have to send troops to help. Of course, the regulations are so, and as for whether anyone enforces them, it is not clear. Anyway, there are some things that everyone knows by heart, and they just need to understand it.

Soon, Gao Meng lit all five beacon fires, and streams of black smoke continued to drift towards the sky. Soon after, in the distant sky to the south, it was faintly visible that five black pillars of smoke were rising from the location of Fort Weizhen. This is the fact that Fort Weizhen has received an alert and reported the enemy situation to Pingyu City further away.

As the sound of the horse's hooves got closer and closer, the true face of the Tartar was gradually revealed. Xu Xingxia roughly calculated that the number of Tartars who came this time was about sixty or seventy people. After seeing the number of tartars, the atmosphere around the horn pier suddenly became tense. Some of the recruits were visibly short of breath.
