If we think about it rationally, Hu Biao actually chose to reach some kind of tacit cooperation with the Tatars. This would undoubtedly preserve the strength of the team and successfully complete the second phase of the task. It was the best choice project.
After all, until now, they still don’t know what the content of the more difficult third phase mission is.
But maintaining more combat effectiveness to meet and deal with him is definitely the wisest behavior.
But Hu Biao knows better that he is not a qualified commander; he believes that not everything can be measured by reason, results, and other cold things.
Just think that if you agree to the Tatars' conditions, they will be safe.
However, if more unsuspecting compatriots were captured by the Tatars and brought back to Liaodong to work as cattle and horses, his anger would be ignited and could not be extinguished.
After gritting his teeth, Hu Biao shouted:
"The grandson of the system always asks me to choose. How dare you Tartars ask me to choose?
I choose your grandma. If I fall to the point of colluding with the Tatars and defrauding my own compatriots to survive, I would rather die.
Just fight, if I have the word "fear" in it, it means I was not born to my parents; no matter who is at the top of the pier, raise the smoke and fire the trumpets for me immediately."
The people currently on duty at the top of the pier are Sun Xing, who plans to take up the last post, and a rookie like Lao She.
When he heard that Hu Biao actually issued such an order, which meant that they were almost going to die here, the old snake immediately cursed:
"What the hell! Hu Biao is so desperate~"
But with the curses in his mouth, this guy polished it as quickly as possible. It was a match provided by the system.
What's even more amazing is that when he used a match to light the cannon, the old snake had a sincere and relaxed smile on his face.
At this moment, SIR in this modern dimension was already prepared to die in battle.
Among the other netizens, whether they were newbies or veterans, many started to curse, but even as they cursed, their faces were indescribably relaxed, or calm.
In fact, when Hu Biao was struggling in his heart, they also secretly conducted some difficult soul torture on themselves.
To live in humiliation or to die upright?
They were also in an extremely difficult situation between the two choices; fortunately, they no longer had to worry about it. The decision made by Hu Biao made them no longer entangled, and they could even scold him as "dead on the streets".
Only Xu Er, a high-quality male in society, instinctively wanted to speak out and object.
But after hesitating for a while and seeing everyone around him reacting in this way, he finally chose not to speak.
He quickly glanced left and right and found that no one else had noticed. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes started to move.
In short, after a short time, there were three wolf smoke rising straight from the highest position on Suifeng Pier.
Accompanied by three loud cannon shots, the quiet of the early morning was suddenly broken.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty beacon communication: if you see an enemy with one or two to more than a hundred people, fire one beacon and one cannon, five hundred people with two beacons and two cannons, more than a thousand people with three beacons and three cannons, more than 5,000 people with four beacons and four cannons,
There are five beacons and five cannons for more than one person.
Therefore, what they conveyed was that the Tatars were attacking with more than a thousand people.
It's a bit exaggerated, but it also made the people cheer up and run away immediately.
After all, based on their understanding of the Ming army, whether the Tatars came with 500 people or 1,000 people, they would not have any thoughts of going out of the city to fight in the field, and there would be no losses caused by misinformation about military information.
A few moments later, at the location of Suiyu Dun, five miles away, there was a similar reaction.
Then, there was smoke from Suiyuan Dun, and the sound of cannons was faintly heard.
In this way, the beacon fire and smoke that started from Suifeng Dun was continuously relayed, and the news representing the incoming Tatars in large numbers was transmitted all the way to the distance.
Notify the fellow soldiers and civilians on this piece of land to run away if they should, hide if they should, or close the Tuen Gate.
Whether they can escape this catastrophe depends on their fate.
And when Hu Biao shouted, "Choose the legs of Grandma Ni~", he didn't need any more commands. The netizens around him actually knew what to do.
Immediately, Lang Qing and others had a total of eighteen or nineteen bows and arrows.
Amidst the vibrations of bowstrings, they all greeted the Tatars under the pier.
Even the girl Ali swung the flying stone rope in her hand and threw a selected pebble at the Tatars.
Unfortunately, it was a little far away, and it fell to the ground feebly halfway...
****
Seeing that the Ming army on the city wall was so ungrateful, the Tatars under the pier became furious.
The two Tatars on horseback in the distance immediately started shooting arrows to fight back.
Thanks to the dense horse traps before Suifeng Dun, even if the two of them were anxious for a while, they did not dare to drive their horses forward to respond.
However, due to the limited strength of the horse bow in his hand, it was difficult to even shoot the city wall.
Occasionally, one or two would fly over, but they were light and without much strength, and they basically posed no threat to Hu Biao and the others.
Na Gurnen quickly talked to the two people around him and did not act blindly.
He just looked at the Ming army on the beacon pier with extremely vicious eyes, and at the same time, he slowly retreated back under the protection of two Tatars holding shields in their hands.
If looks could kill, Hu Biao and the others would be dead by now.
It is a pity that the Tatar Bashiku of Zhenghuang Banner had no choice but to see with his own eyes these unscrupulous Ming soldiers, or rather Nikans, being killed one by one with the most cruel means.
(Nikan, the transliteration of Han in Manchu, originally did not have any derogatory meaning, but after the Tatars grew stronger, it became a derogatory term in their eyes)
I don’t know if the recent intensive training in bow and arrow shooting has had an effect.
Still now on Suifeng Pier, a total of eighteen or nineteen people fired their bows together, successfully forming a small rain of arrows.
Anyway, under the rain of arrows, the two Tatars guarding Gurnun.
In the blink of an eye, one person fell to the ground dead after being hit by an arrow in the face; the other fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow in the thigh, and also died in the subsequent follow-up shots.
Only Gurnen was wearing double armor or even triple armor, and his defensive power was astonishingly great.
Without even looking at his two men, he raised his left arm to protect his head and face, and then retreated wildly behind with a pair of thick bow legs.
During this process, Lang Qing and others used their fastest movements to shoot arrows, trying to keep this guy behind.
Unfortunately, three arrows hit his chest and abdomen, and two arrows hit his raised arm.
However, two of the sharp arrows were bounced away, and the remaining three arrows were respectively inserted into the arms, chest and abdomen, etc., but they obviously did not penetrate very deep.
The pace of this guy's retreat actually didn't slow down at all.
After a short while, the Tatar, who was attacking Hu Biao and others with his eyes, was about to escape from the bows and arrows in the hands of everyone on the pier, and the effective maximum killing range was reached.
Fortunately, at this moment, at the same time as a gunshot, a choking white smoke rose.
It was Lao Hei who had been aiming for a long time with a blunderbuss. Finally, after gaining some confidence, he pulled the trigger on his fingertip.
An instant later, a ball of blood spurted out from Gurnen's chest. It was Lao Hei who hit the Tatar with the granular gunpowder and a polished steel bar head brought by Yang Dongli.
God knows how many grains of gunpowder Lao Hei put into the gun at once, so that the power of the gun was astonishing and even outrageous.
The steel head penetrated directly through the Tatar's body, which was as heavy as a turtle shell, and the shot was fatal.
Looking at the Tatar who was still twitching after falling down like a wild boar that had been hit at a critical point, Hu Biao ignored the two surviving Tatars further away.
He also drew his bow and arrow and greeted the Tatars who had fallen to the ground after throwing their horses.
Because these Tatars saw Nikan on the Suifeng pier and dared to attack. Knowing that the situation was not good, they did not care about their injuries. Three of them lying on the ground desperately crawled farther away.
past.
The two Tatars on horseback put down their bows and arrows and replaced them with a bundle of ropes with hooks.
It swayed rapidly above its head, preparing to hook the three Tartars with hooks and ropes, and then drag them out of the dangerous area.
The problem was, before the hook ropes in their hands could be released, more than a dozen arrows were shot out from Suifeng Pier, killing these targets that were basically fixed targets.
Seeing this, the last two remaining Tatar cavalry could only slap their horses and retreat bitterly.
Suddenly, Lao Hei cursed bitterly: "What the hell!"
Because at such a time, he was in a hurry and had not yet had time to load the new gun; originally he was thinking of firing the next shot to kill another Tatar.
Facing Lao Hei's scolding, Hu Biao said nothing.
Instead, he shouted in his mouth: "Everyone, prepare for war with all your strength.
Lao Yang went to wake up the soldiers and told them that it was Brother Hu Biao who said that something big happened here today, and those who wanted to survive had to fight to the death."
Immediately, people in Suifeng Dun were jumping up and down...
