Chapter 2166 Breaking out of camp in the early morning
The night was dark, the wind and snow were raging, and the Ming soldiers on duty on the Tashan Fort watchtower shrank their necks and looked out from time to time. The cold snowflakes scraped on their faces, making them shiver.
"Xue Duzi, look there seems to be movement over there." A Ming soldier on the watchtower squinted his eyes and looked northwest. A Ming soldier behind him walked out from inside: "How can there be any movement in the snow on this cold day?
It can’t be that the Tatars are coming.”
"There seems to be fire. Look over there..." The Ming army man named Xue Duzi squinted his eyes and looked over there carefully. In the dark night, there seemed to be a real fire flashing.
"It's so late, let's light a torch near Tashan Fort. That must be one of our own." According to experience, Ye Bushou outside sent urgent information. The two people hurriedly informed the people below, and soon a mobile unit on duty came
Waiting at the gate of the city, after a while, there was a call from outside: "The 12th Battalion of Guanning, we will not accept the sixth group of Bing Zi at night." After saying this, he took the waist badge and put it in the frame. The Ming Army at the top of the city checked it.
After that, he asked the people below to open the door and let him in.
"I want to see General Tu of the Black Tiger Camp!" After Zhang Sui entered the fort, he went straight to Tu Yuan's residence. Soon Li Muxian, Ji Jike and others heard the sound and got up. Could there be some emergency military situation? Ma Ke also came
.
"Back to the general, a few days ago the Tatars began to secretly mobilize thousands of troops to garrison Songjiang City, like a sword pointing at Tashan Fort." Zhang Sui bowed and said: "The information was handed over from Jinzhou City, and three brothers were lost for this."
"Is it so chaotic outside?" Li Muxian frowned. He was actually worried about Chang Yu's safety.
"Recently, the Tatars have been active in the surrounding areas very frequently. They often send out dozens of troops to conduct interrogations or interceptions. The surrounding villages and towns have become smoky. Our people have encountered them several times and fought several times..." Zhang Sui suddenly said as he spoke.
What came to mind: "By the way, a message came from Jinzhou City saying that you must go to General Tu."
"Say" Tu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Seal the wolf to live in Xu, come quickly".
When Tu Yuan heard this, he stood up and reached out to lift Zhang Sui up: "How long did it take for this news to come out?" Zhang Sui was so frightened that his face turned pale: "It was only a day and a half."
Tu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, threw him to the side, and then shouted to the soldiers at the door: "Send the order to assemble. After saying that, he was busy putting on his helmet and armor." Li Muchian and others knew something was wrong when they saw this, and guessed that the matter had something to do with Chang Yu.
, presumably the owner had made relevant arrangements with Tu Yuan before going out.
"Old Tu, where are you going?" The first person to speak was Ji Jike.
"Be that champion?" Tu Yuan chuckled while putting on his armor. Ji Jike raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to Jinzhou City? I'll go with you."
"No need." Tu Yuan waved his hand: "I can do it with one person and one camp."
"There are tens of thousands of Tatars entrenched in Jinzhou. It's too dangerous for you to go there alone..." Ji Jike urged, but Tu Yuan still shook his head: "The most dangerous place at this time is Tashan Fort. Didn't you hear what the spies said? The Tatars secretly
When dispatching troops and generals, we must aim at this place. You should stay here to help Commander Ma defend the city." Then he smiled proudly: "The champion Hou can ride 800 horses across Mobei. I may not be able to compare with him, but a battalion
If I go to Jinzhou City alone, the Tatars can't do anything to me!"
Ji Jike still persisted, but Li Muchian came to persuade him: "What General Tu said is reasonable. Since the Tatars are secretly deploying troops, they want to launch a surprise attack on us. A war may break out at any time. General Ji will stay here to defend the city and wants to come to supervise."
The public can still handle it, otherwise he would not be allowed to go alone!"
Ji Jike no longer forced him to go with him, but Ma Ke was still a little confused: "What does it mean that General Tu wants to go to Jinzhou City? To harass and confuse the enemy, or to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao?" Tu Yuan laughed loudly: "General Ma is still awake.
Wake up, what did the spy say just now? The news came from Jinzhou City."
Ma Ke was startled, then looked horrified: "The Governor is in Jinzhou City right now!"
With the wind blowing and the snow flying, three hundred warriors from the Black Tiger Battalion put on armor and left the city, disappearing into the vast night. Li Muxian and Ma Ke stood on the lookout and looked at the dark night with extremely solemn expressions.
&nbbsp; The Tatars are really going to take action first!
Although I had been mentally prepared for it, it was still a bit unexpected when it actually came.
Accidents are accidents, they have to be done anyway. Fortunately, Tashan has already made preparations, but even so, Ma Ke still sent people to Ningyuan overnight to inform Zu Dashou and let him be ready for reinforcements at any time.
Everyone knows that this battle is inevitable, and everyone also knows what determines the outcome of this battle.
It's really cold at night.
But after the three hundred warriors of the Black Tiger Camp galloped for more than ten miles, their coldness subsided, and their hearts were filled with heat. Someone shouted: "General, what are we doing out here?"

Yes, most of the soldiers didn't know what they were doing out there. Military orders were overwhelming. They obeyed all military orders unconditionally, even if they were sleeping soundly in a warm bed. When the order was given, they put on their armor and mounted their horses and left the city.
"I'm bored inside, so come out and kill a few Tatars to relieve your boredom." Tu Yuan chuckled, and the soldiers behind him immediately echoed loudly: "How about we go directly to the outside of Songshan City. I heard that Yingying went there last time.
We found nothing, but when we came back, everyone was very happy. General, let’s go for a walk.”
"What do you two think?" Tu Yuan turned around and looked at the two riders beside him. They were none other than Wang Fuchen and Wu Mushan. The two men stirred up trouble in Shanhaiguan a few months ago. They were kicked off the deputy Qianhu directly. One of them was kicked off to the general flag.
A deputy hundred households.
Wang Fuchen was originally Ji Jike's subordinate, and Tu Yuan also seconded him this time because Zu Runze passed a message from Chang Yu last time, saying that he should take these two men with him when he went out, one for punishment and the other for training.
, Third, these two guys are indeed brave and powerful. They are not even a bit more powerful than the general soldiers under their command. They feel quite safe when they go out with them.
"We will attack wherever the general points," Wang Fuchen said quickly, while Wu Mu Shanze frowned: "We went there in the middle of the night and couldn't find anyone, but the Yingying camp laughed at us for copying what he was doing."
"That's true. What Mr. Baihu said makes sense. The people in Qi Ying Camp even mocked us because we knew there was no one there at night and only went there on purpose." Some of his subordinates agreed.
Tu Yuan snorted: "It's almost Yin time now, it's already dawn if we wander over there, and we'll just meet the first batch of people going out, hehe..."
"General, aren't we going to Jinzhou City..." Wang Fuchen asked in a low voice, Tu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yes, we can't miss the business" and then added: "But it won't delay us from shouting a few times on the way."
It was very interesting to go out to have fun on a snowy night. The fighting spirit of the three hundred warriors was so high that they galloped all the way to Xingshan Fort without meeting anyone. Then they whipped up their whips and headed to Songshan. The lights of the city could be dimly seen several miles away.
This made Tu Yuan a little confused.
Something was wrong with the general, and Wang Fuchen was also alert: "At this time, around Yinzheng (at four o'clock in the morning), it is impossible to have such a big light in the city, let alone how many miles away it can be seen on this windy and snowy night, I'm afraid
…”
"That's right, they are busy inside preparing to plot against us." Tu Yuan thought of the news sent by the spies, saying that the Tatars secretly mobilized troops from Jinzhou to Songshan, thinking of raiding Tashan Fort. Judging from this movement, they would probably do it soon.
Take action.
In fact, Songshan City was under construction day and night, and it was almost brightly lit at night, which provided a good cover for the Tatars to mobilize their troops. However, Songshan Mountain, a few miles away, was also so brightly lit, which aroused Tu Yuan's vigilance.
, if you think of that piece of information, you will know what it means.
"He wants to plot against us?" Wang Fuchen was startled, and Tu Yuan sneered: "I have been following the Governor for so long, and I have never seen him plotting against others. I have never been plotted against by others, at least he has never succeeded." He said with a shout
: "Brothers, give them a shout."
"Report, general, there is a group of Tatar reconnaissance cavalry ahead." At this time, his subordinates came to report, and Tu Yuan was overjoyed: "killed!"
