Venting the anger in his heart, Zhen Wei looked around, frowned and said: "No, we can't go on any further. Send the order, pause the convoy, and send out a group of sentinels to make sure to find out the surrounding situation clearly."

A deputy general beside him couldn't help but said: "Sir, we have now entered the territory of Suidezhou. It will take at most one or two days to deliver the food. If we stop again, it will definitely delay the time."

The deputy general frowned and said, "My lord, you must have been too cautious along the way. You stopped and stopped. The journey that could have been completed in three days ended up taking four or five days. The officials in Sui Dezhou were all

I have urged you several times. If the food can be delivered one day earlier, the victims can be relieved one day earlier."

When Zhen Wei heard this, his face was solemn and he said: "Qi Kang, do you think this general doesn't want to speed up? But once we speed up, the army will inevitably be in chaos. If something goes wrong, who will bear the consequences?"

A stern look flashed in Zhen Wei's eyes and he said: "Don't forget, we were attacked several times by rioters along the way. If we hadn't been on high alert all the time, I'm afraid the rioters would have robbed us of our food."

The deputy general opened his mouth when he heard this and sighed softly.

What Zhen Wei said was true, and thanks to Zhen Wei being cautious enough, otherwise they might not have been able to reach Suidezhou smoothly.

After glancing at the deputy general, Zhen Wei said: "Go and pass my order to the general, let everyone stop and have a rest, and send all the sentinels out for me. What on earth does that bastard Tang Ye do for food? Doesn't he know that he is the army?"

His eyes disappeared for more than an hour."

Soon, amid the shouts of the messengers, the team slowly stopped. At the same time, a group of sentinels spread out, spreading in a fan shape in all directions.

Among the mounds, a group of people was staying there quietly, led by none other than the members of the Tang family brought by Tang Dingwei.

At this time, Yue Buqun, Han Le and a dozen accountants were sitting aside to rest, but Yue Buqun occasionally glanced at Tang Dingwei and the servants of the Tang family who were not far away.

Han Le on the side obviously noticed Yue Buqun's reaction and was not surprised at all.

In fact, Yue Buqun's reaction was completely normal. Not only Yue Buqun, there were two newcomers among their dozen accounting offices, who were also like Yue Buqun.

On the contrary, these old people who have seen this kind of scene several times are no longer surprised.

At this moment, Han Le looked at Yue Buqun and said with a smile: "Mr. Yue, don't worry, the servants will naturally do the killing and fighting. All we have to do is write down the calculations and calculate the final harvest."

Yue Buqun nodded towards Han Le.

At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats came. Many people heard the sound of horse hoofbeats and immediately followed the sound. They saw several figures riding horses in the distance. These figures were still wearing the armor of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

.

Yue Buqun could see clearly that the person who came was undoubtedly a sentinel from the Ming Dynasty's frontier army. After all, that elite group was definitely not comparable to ordinary guardsmen.

The momentum of the visitor was somewhat stronger than that of many of the elite members of the Tang family's servant team.

When Tang Dingwei saw the person coming, he stood up and went to greet him. Soon he saw the person coming and got off his horse. He went up to Tang Dingwei and bowed to him and said, "Tang Ye has met Master Jiu."

Tang Dingwei helped Tang Ye up, and said with a smile on his face: "We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to be polite. Please tell me, where are Zhen Wei and the others at this moment?"

Tang Ye looked serious and said: "Master Jiu, Zhen Wei's troops have now arrived near the Bali River ten miles away. They will be able to get here in about an hour or two."

Tang Dingwei's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "Okay!"

As he spoke, Tang Dingwei looked at Tang Ye and said, "Have you ever contacted the third master?"

Tang Ye nodded and said: "Not long ago, I brought someone to see the Third Master. The Third Master and the people in the Huli Department are already heading towards the grain team."

A flash of light flashed in Tang Dingwei's eyes, and he said with a slight smile on his lips: "Very good, if that's the case, let's set off now to save those people in the pot from causing any trouble."

Tang Ye nodded and said, "I'll lead the way."

Tang Dingwei was heard shouting, and soon he saw hundreds of elite servants of the Tang family getting on their horses one by one. Under the leadership of Tang Ye, a group of people disappeared into the distance.

When Yue Buqun and the others not far away saw this scene, they heard Han Le say slowly: "Since Master Jiu has already set off with his people, let's just wait here. It will take half a day at most. If everything goes well, Master Jiu will go there."

I will send someone to take us to clean the battlefield and make statistics."

Yue Buqun frowned, thinking in his mind, why did the Tang family send out so many elite servants to come to this place without a village or shop inexplicably?

Han Le glanced at Yue Buqun and whispered: "Mr. Yue, don't think too much, we can't take care of the master's family affairs. When the time comes, we can just do our own thing."

Yue Buqun nodded at Han Le and said, "It made Brother Han laugh."

Here Zhen Wei ordered the troops to stop, and the sentinels spread out in a fan shape to inspect the surroundings. They looked at the desolate wilderness around them. For some reason, they thought that Tang Ye had taken people out for an hour and still hadn't come back. Zhen Wei felt inexplicably.

Wei felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. Zhen Wei suddenly looked up and saw a figure running towards him in the distance.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, my lord, there are Tatars..."

At the same time, the earth shook, and the sound of thousands of horses galloping gradually came. As a person who had been on the battlefield for decades, Zhen Wei could immediately judge the size of the person just by hearing this sound.

"No, there are at least thousands of cavalry here."

At the same time as his expression changed drastically, Zhen Wei shouted almost instinctively: "Quick, quick, everyone immediately surrounds the convoy in a circular formation and uses grain trucks as defense. Be sure to block the invading enemy."

Here, Zhen Wei gave orders to assemble troops and use the convoy to defend against the invading enemy. At the same time, the running sentry in the distance had already arrived.

Zhen Wei held a spear in his hand and was already riding forward.

With a pop, the sentry turned over and fell off the horse. Zhen Wei looked closely and saw that the sentry was hit by an arrow and penetrated into his vest. He really didn't know how the sentry managed to come back.

The sentry who fell to the ground said with difficulty: "Sir, the Tatars... at least three to four thousand Tatars..."

After the words fell, the sentry coughed violently and then disappeared. Zhen Wei looked at the sentry, reached out and closed the sentry's wide eyes, and at the same time stood up slowly, looking into the distance with a solemn expression.

.

It was almost evening at this time, and with the last rays of the setting sun, we could see a billowing cloud of smoke roaring in the distance.

Behind Zhen Wei, screaming, crying and scolding, a group of soldiers were driving a group of civilians to gather carts filled with food, trying to form a circle.

It's just that all the people were confused. In the panic, many carts even overturned due to the confusion, and large bags of grain were scattered on the ground.

Several lower-level generals were loudly scolding the soldiers and civilians around them. Although there was some chaos, within a short time, dozens of large vehicles had gathered in one place, barely forming a circular formation.

Zhen Wei showed no joy at all when he saw this scene. Instead, he looked into the distance with an extremely solemn expression.

"coming!"

As Zhen Wei let out a sigh, a black shadow appeared on the horizon in the distance. A group of dark cavalry were approaching on horseback. They would kill them in just a few cups of tea.

At this time, the surrounding soldiers could no longer care about anything else, and relied on their experience to actively retreat into the circular formation. Of the thousands of soldiers, only six or seven hundred were able to gather near Zhen Wei. As for the other soldiers, many were scattered directly.

The fleeing civilians were immediately dispersed.

Moreover, the convoy is several miles long, from beginning to end, and it is simply impossible to gather all the people and horses in a short time.

Zhen Wei straightened his body, standing on a large cart, holding a spear in his hand, and shouted: "Soldiers, prepare to meet the enemy."

At this time, the men and horses of Hulibu had already rushed forward. Aliha, Solnit and other leaders of Hulibu looked at the large carts in the wilderness, especially the bulging ones on top of the carts.

sack, with a greedy look in his eyes.

"Hahaha, food, a lot of food, this time I can finally survive the cold winter safely."

Encouraged by Aliha, Solnit and other Hulibu leaders, all the Hulibu people already knew the purpose of their visit. Seeing so much food in front of them, many people shouted excitedly

Howl.

Zhen Wei and other Ming soldiers looked at the thousands of Tatars, and their expressions became very ugly.

Lieutenant General Lei Meng couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Those people at the Great Wall Pass are all dead. It's okay for thirty or fifty Tatars to sneak into the pass, but among these thousands of people, who can tell me how they sneaked into the pass.

of?"

Normally, when thousands of Tatars enter the border, the border is probably already on fire. Not to mention other places, at least many towns in Yulin Town have definitely received the news early, and all the cities are on standby.

But they came all the way and didn't get any news at all.

Zhen Wei shouted solemnly: "Concentrate on facing the enemy."

As the Tatars got closer and closer, even though many soldiers were already used to seeing the Tatars, the gap in numbers between the two sides was really big at this moment.

Especially when they fought against the Tatars in the past, they often relied on city walls, but this time they were in the wilderness, with only some grain carts as resistance.

They are just infantry, but there are thousands of cavalry on the opposite side. If it were not for the support of these grain trucks, many soldiers would not be able to bear the pressure and escape without the Tatars coming.

"Archers, prepare muskets."

Following the order, the archers and gunmen in the army were ready.

Riding on the tall horse, Alifa laughed loudly and said: "My sons, kill them for me."

At the same time, Zhen Wei shot an arrow and shouted at the same time: "Let go."

Arrows shot through the air, and firecrackers exploded.

The Tatars on the opposite side also fired a shower of arrows. In just a moment, many people on both sides were injured and fell.

Even if there were grain trucks as a shield, some soldiers would still be hit by arrows and the arrows would enter their bodies. Unless they hit a vital part, they would usually be injured rather than die on the spot.

Among the dozens of soldiers, except for two or three unlucky ones who were killed on the spot, the rest were slightly injured. Some even had arrows stuck in their bodies, and they shot the arrows crazily as if they didn't notice.

The Tatars braved the rain of arrows and rushed directly in front of the convoy at the cost of hundreds of casualties. The leading Tatar even drove his horse headlong into the big car.

There were even Tatars who directly used the force of the impact to control their horses and jump up. They actually jumped higher and rushed into the car formation with a cart that was as tall as a man.

"kill!"

As a Tatar rushed in, Zhen Wei immediately led hundreds of his soldiers to greet him without fear.

After all, there were only a few people who could use their horse power to rush into the carriage formation. After a long tea time, with the circular formation formed by the carriage as the center, hundreds of corpses fell down on both sides, and even the Tatars gave up temporarily.

Charge into battle.
