Lin Danhan suddenly found that his appearance in Zhenyuan Pass today may be a mistake at all. He hadn't been here before. None of his subordinates have ever been here. He doesn't have the information here. He had never cared about the area. To put it mildly, Zhenyuanguan and Ningxia Town are completely unfamiliar places for them. They are in this unfamiliar area, and they always feel ungrounded psychologically.

Prior to this, Lin Dan Khan's understanding of Xu Xingxia was almost blank. As Lin Dan Khan, those who can deal directly with him, or who are qualified to be noticed by him, are at least Ming army officers above the rank of general. A small generation of thousands of households, who will notice his existence? At the level of a thousand households, among the Ming army, there are at least thousands of people! How could he possibly pay special attention to one of these thousands?

Subconsciously, Lin Dan Khan regarded Xu Xingxia as an ordinary Ming army officer. Since it is an ordinary Ming army officer, it is not a big deal. Maybe it's a bit too much to describe them with wine bags and rice bags, but it's not a problem to say that their rotten wood can't be carved, and the corpses are vegetarian. Such an officer of the Ming army is everywhere. Without their cooperation, how could the Tumut tribe rise so quickly?

It is based on this understanding that Lin Dan Khan will not hesitate to chase all the way to Zhenyuan Pass. He optimistically estimated that as long as he chased to Zhenyuan Pass and raised the name of the border conflict, he could deter the other party. The Ming army in Datong Mansion, Xuanfu and other places was made very passive by Lin Dan Khan every time in such a name. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Now, he fully realized that this Xu Xingxia was definitely not an ordinary Ming army officer. He's an alternative. A crazy existence.

That's right, it's madness. Capable of going all the way deep into the savannah and forcibly capturing Tessna, isn't this a madman? How could a normal person make such a crazy move? Lin Danhan really didn't expect that he would meet a madman. Judging from the fight just now, this madman is quite difficult to mess with.

"What do you think?" Lin Danhan suddenly asked in a low tone. As the chief of the Tumut tribe, Lin Dan Khan was not the kind of person who acted arbitrarily. He was more than willing to follow the advice of others. Around him, there are all kinds of talents. Some of the talents are from within the Tumut tribe. Some of the talents are from other tribes of the prairie. Even, by Lin Dan Khan's side, there is also the existence of Han staff.

As long as Lin Dan Khan thinks it is reasonable, he will accept it with an open mind. If the suggestions they put forward can achieve good benefits, Lin Dan Khan will never be stingy with his rewards. The more obvious the benefits, the greater the rewards. Therefore, the henchmen around him are happy to make all kinds of suggestions. This is also the fundamental reason why he was able to surrender to the large and small forces within the Tumut tribe, unite them, and become stronger and stronger.

It's a pity that a few henchmen around him were too shocked by today's events and didn't speak for a while. Like Lin Dan Khan, they don't know much about the background information of this Xu Xingxia. Before that, they didn't have any contact with Xu Xingxia at all. The Hellerkin tribe had actually presented them with some information about Xu Xingxia, but they didn't remember it. In the absence of knowing anything, of course, one cannot talk nonsense.

Lin Danhan frowned, and said by name: "Then Song, you can talk about it." ”

Na Song is the brain trust of Lin Dan Khan, about forty years old, and he has no white face. When Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen, he has been by Lin Dan Khan's side, and it can be said that Lin Dan Khan is one of the oldest and most reliable supporters. For his advice, Lin Dan Khan almost always obeyed. Within the Tumut tribe, Na Song is known as the "National Teacher". At this time when it was difficult to ride a tiger, Lin Dan Khan had no choice but to ask the national teacher. Na Yuesong pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Great Khan, in the opinion of his subordinates, it is not appropriate to leave the Naturalization City for a long time. ”

The meaning of the words is actually to suggest the withdrawal of troops. Na Song's own force is not very good, but his vision is quite sharp. As soon as Xu Xingxia made a move, he knew that none of the Mongolian cavalry archers around Lin Dan Khan was Xu Xingxia's opponent. Unless Lin Dan Khan changes his strategy and adopts a wheel battle, or attacks in groups, it is impossible to defeat Xu Xingxia. Rather than holding on here in embarrassment, it is better to retreat early.

Of course, such words cannot be said bluntly. Lin Dan Khan is also a young man, and he is also young and vigorous, and he is hot-blooded, how can he easily admit defeat? If your own words accidentally stimulate Lin Dan Khan, then things will be even more difficult. Sometimes, the persistence shown by Lin Dan Khan is also speechless. In particular, this fight involves a beautiful woman named Tessna. This woman is the most terrible! She is between Xu Xingxia and Lin Dan Khan, and she is a devil.

In front of beautiful women, how many heroic teenagers can put down their face and leave in disgrace? It is estimated that the vast majority of people would rather choose to die stupidly in battle than choose to leave with their heads down! What's more, Lin Dan Khan let out the rumors very early, saying that the three beauties on the grassland are his forbidden belly and are not allowed to be touched by others. This point, even the arrow god Mo Yuegen admitted. Now, his forbidden belly has been snatched away, and he doesn't want to find a way to snatch it back, which is indeed a big blow to his reputation.

Lin Danhan said quietly: "Gui Yingcha, what do you think? ”

Guiying is Lin Dan Khan's eldest brother-in-law, and he is the same age as Lin Dan Khan. He is a well-known warrior among the Tumut tribe and one of the top ten sumu of the Iron Lance Cavalry. Lin Dan Khan's 50,000 iron lance cavalry, divided into ten parts, each with 5,000 men, was led by a "sumu". This Su Mu is basically equivalent to the level of the commander of the Ming army. The top ten sumu, of course, are all of Lin Dan Khan's henchmen, and they are also the best generals among the Mongols.

Xu Xingxia's shot just now, Gui Yingcha naturally saw it. He was an excellent horse archer himself, so he naturally knew how deep the gap between thirty and sixty zhang was. He estimated that even if he played in person, he would definitely not have a chance to defeat Xu Xingxia. Since there is no way to defeat the other side, there is only a way to withdraw the troops. Like Na Song's reason, the only thing Gui Yingcha had to do was to find a suitable excuse for withdrawing the troops. Therefore, he said euphemistically: "Great Khan, I don't approve of staying here for too long, those little bastards in Horqin are not very peaceful!." ”

The two of them said that they persuaded Lin Dan Khan to go back to Naturalization City as soon as possible to prevent any accidents. In fact, the meaning behind the two of them couldn't be clearer, this Xu Xingxia is so strong in archery, they can't bargain for anything in his hands. Rather than an awkward stalemate here, it's better to go back early. They were very worried that if this stalemate continued, they were afraid that the Mongols would have to lose a lot of money.

If Xu Xingxia's archery skills were not so perverted, even if they stepped on the far pass of Zhenyuan and slowly returned to Naturalization City, what did it matter? The current Tumut tribe is completely under the control of Lin Dan Khan alone, and there is no internal problem at all. As for the so-called little bastards of the Horqin tribe, it is also an excuse. Under the pressure of the Tumut tribe, the Horqin tribe actually did not dare to take the initiative to provoke trouble, unless they wanted to seek death.

"Naturalization City, no hurry!" Lin Danhan's face was gloomy and he said slowly.

Of course Lin Dan Khan understood the words of Song and Gui Yingcha. These two people are his confidants, they have almost grown up together, and they have a few roundworms in their stomachs, and Lin Dan Khan knows them all. However, it was precisely because he understood that Lin Dan Khan felt uncomfortable. He had come all the way from Naturalization City, full of enthusiasm and confidence to rescue Tessna, but now he had retreated in disgrace, which would be a great blow to his reputation.

Everyone on the prairie admires force and respects heroes. If you continue to defeat your opponents, constantly submit to other tribes, and bring benefits to your subordinates, you will gain everyone's respect and everyone will be willing to follow you. On the contrary, if you are defeated by other opponents, or by other tribes, they will feel that you are not good, and they will not want to follow you, and they will have to find another way. At this time, if there are foreign forces that take the opportunity to win over, it is estimated that more than half of the small tribes attached to him will be gone.

In the savannah, in addition to some large tribes, there are more and more small tribes. They all depend on the big tribe to survive, and whoever is strong, they will depend on whomever they are. For example, the current Tumut tribe has at least three or four hundred small tribes attached to it. These are all built on the prestige of his Lin Dan Khan. If his Lin Dan Khan's prestige is seriously hit, it is really hard to say whether these small tribes will change their courts.

In addition, if he leaves like this, it is tantamount to giving up Tesna completely. This is his most likely chance to save Tessna. If you miss the opportunity this time, you don't know when the next time it will be. It's not good, the next time I see Tessna, she is already Xu Xingxia's woman, and she has already given birth to several children for Xu Xingxia. To be honest, Lin Dan Khan is really reluctant! Namu Zhong, Tesina, and Uyunna, these three women, he has to get, so that he can live up to his name of "Golden Khan". None of them is perfect.

However, how easy is it to snatch Tesna back from Xu Xingxia's hands? Not to mention anything else, the first difficulty is the range of Xu Xingxia's perverted bow and arrow. The best cavalry archers under his command could only fire arrows at a distance of thirty or forty feet. In other words, the gap between them and Xu Xingxia is a full twenty zhang! Unless there is a miracle, it is impossible to make up for such a gap by relying on manpower or resourcefulness.

"Who wants to keep playing?" Lin Danhan barely cheered up and said in a deep voice.

The faces of the people around him changed slightly, and they subconsciously bowed their heads, not daring to respond. The person who can appear next to Lin Dan Khan is definitely not an ordinary riding archer. In their respective tribes, they are all first-class warriors. However, when they heard Lin Dan Khan's words, they all lowered their heads in shame. There is no way, if they go to war, they will simply go to death. The distance of 20 zhang is completely a moat, and it is impossible to surpass.

What made them feel shocked was not Xu Xingxia's archery, but Xu Xingxia's arm strength. At such a distance, he was able to shoot down a war horse. Such an ability is unseen and unheard of. I'm afraid that the Tatar arrow god Mo Yuegen can't do it. However, such a gap cannot be bridged. No matter who encounters such an opponent, they can only turn around and flee for their lives.

"Are all my warriors frightened by the enemy? Do you all admit that you are cowards? Lin Danhan was suddenly annoyed and scolded angrily. He didn't expect that Xu Xingxia's arrow just now would actually scare all of the outstanding cavalry archers under his command. This is a terrible blow to morale. Fortunately, the two sides have not officially started a war yet. Otherwise, without the high morale of the Mongol cavalry, the combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced. If you fight together, you will inevitably suffer.

"Great Khan, I'll go!" A Mongolian cavalry archer who was a little stunned was blown out by Lin Dan Khan's agitation method. He rode out of the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards Xu Xingxia at the fastest speed. He kept turning his horse's head along the way, zigzag, trying to avoid the incoming arrows. However, at a distance of fifty or sixty zhang from Xu Xingxia, he was still killed by Xu Xingxia's arrow and fell off the horse without any suspense.

Everyone can see that Xu Xingxia deliberately showed mercy to his subordinates, only shooting the Mongols' war horses, but not the Mongols' horse archers. If he hadn't shot horses, but people, the Mongol horse archer would have been doomed. No one present, including Lin Dan Khan, dared to doubt that Xu Xingxia's archery skills would not be able to shoot the person on horseback. There is no doubt that if he is shot by a black feather arrow, there is still a chance to survive.

Like the previous tin pot, the Mongolian horse archer who landed on the ground looked dazed after getting up from the ground. He looked at Xu Xingxia and then at Lin Dan Khan, not knowing what to do. His weapons and equipment are still there, but it's a pity that the war horse is dead. If he rushed towards Xu Xingxia, there was only one way to die. He, a cavalryman without a war horse, has a chance to rush in front of Xu Xingxia? You can imagine it with your heels.

Besides, if his horse was shot to death, he was actually judged to lose. He himself could see that this was Xu Xingxia's subordinates who showed mercy and did not directly ask for his life. The opponent's archery skills were so superb that he had no other way than to bow to the wind. After a long time, this Mongolian cavalry archer had no choice but to bow his head and walk back obediently on foot.
