"drive!"

On the vast snowfield between Dongsheng City and Xuanfu, more than a hundred horse teams with black veils on their eyes were rushing on their way in the wind and snow.

Needless to say, this cavalry team of more than a hundred people was Wang Bing and his personal guards who were eager to return to Beijing.

However, because he had been 'delayed' in Dongsheng City for too long, in order to return to Beijing before the Chinese New Year, Wang Bing did not choose the easier cement straight road through Datong via Zijingguan, but chose to cross the grassland and go through the road.

The route back to Beijing from Juyongguan in Xuanfu.

"Damn it, why did it suddenly start snowing after everything was fine? If I had known, it might have been faster if we went to Datong!"

Facing the increasingly heavy wind and snow, Wang Bing couldn't help but sigh helplessly. He originally wanted to take a shortcut, but unexpectedly he encountered a blizzard.

"General, this is not far from the Xuanfu Shangxi Road. Let's just drive harder to Shanfang Fort!"

"Forget it, the wind and snow are too strong. Let's take shelter at Yehuling in front and wait until the wind and snow calm down before leaving!"

Looking at the increasingly heavy wind and snow, Wang Bing shook his head helplessly and could only choose to avoid the wind and snow.

…

"Old guy, is your news accurate? Don't let him go from other places by then, and the cold here will be in vain for the rest of us!"

Just when Wang Bing ordered to go to Yehuling to take shelter from the wind and snow, halfway up the mountain on both sides of a mountain pass that must be passed from Yehuling to Shanfangbao, a strong man with several scars crisscrossed on his face appeared from the cover.

After sticking his head out of the simple shack in the snow and observing for a while, he then shrank back and asked the person behind him.

"Hmph, he is in a hurry to return to Beijing, and he has not taken the same route. Where else can he go but here? Remember, use bows and arrows when the time comes, and try not to use firearms first. Firstly, we don't have many firearms. Secondly, we don't have many firearms.

This place is too close to the Shanfang Fort, and the firearms are too loud, which can easily attract the border troops..."

In the simple shack, a man whose appearance he couldn't see clearly, but judging from his voice, he must be quite old, snorted coldly.

"Just provide information. As for how we fight, just mind our own business!"

…

"Herodus~"

"Damn it, I finally have a place to take shelter from the wind!"

Looking at the north-south mountain pass not far ahead, Wang Bing and his group couldn't help but urge their horses again and ran hard towards the mountain pass.

"It's finally here!"

As waves of war horses neighed, just as Wang Bing and his party rushed towards the mountain pass, hundreds of sneaky figures wrapped in white appeared on the mountainside on both sides of the valley, quietly emerging from shacks buried in the snow.

came out.

"Just rest here and let the brothers see if they can collect some firewood and make a fire to eat some hot food!"

Soon, after entering the valley which was also covered with snow, but at least there was no strong wind, Wang Bing and others immediately leaned to the right side of the valley, preparing to find a place to rest in the leeward area and warm themselves up with hot food.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

However, just when Wang Bing and the others had just jumped off their horses, suddenly, from the mountainside on both sides of the not-too-wide valley, countless black dots emitting green smoke flew up in an instant and hit them.

Come down.

"What a fool, it's a grenade, get down quickly!"

After dismounting, Wang Bing, who had just raised his head and stretched his body, saw this terrifying scene, and his hair stood up in fear, and then he shouted a warning loudly.

"General!!!"

After hearing Wang Bing's warning, a group of personal guards immediately discovered this terrifying scene and rushed to find bunkers on the spot as quickly as possible to avoid the bullets.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Soon enough, under Wang Bing's warning, everyone including Wang Bing had just fallen to the ground, and bursts of dense grenades exploded in the valley.

"Herodus..."

"Ah! I'll fuck your mother's legs!"

"Damn it, where did these people get the grenades?"

"Old Zeng!"

As the dense grenades continued to explode, many casualties appeared in the team in an instant.

There was no way, even though those who served as Wang Bing's personal guards were all elite sergeants of the Yulin Guards, but they were unprepared and suffered such a dense grenade attack. It was simply impossible to avoid casualties.

"Take the injured brother with you, lean against the mountain walls on both sides as much as possible, and cross-shoot the enemies on both sides!"

Dragging up a guard whose leg was broken by the explosion, Wang Bing quickly leaned against a mountain arm while loudly ordering everyone to fight back.

Just kidding, even if the manpower is short, when has the Habayashi Guard ever been beaten without fighting back!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Soon, a group of personal guards fired back bullets.

However, Wang Bing and the others were already small in number, and they were attacked by the opponent and took advantage of the opportunity and location, so the effect of this counterattack did not seem to be ideal.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Perhaps the people who ambushed Wang Bing and the others did not have many grenades. They only concentrated on throwing two rounds and then switched to shooting with crossbows.

However, due to the blind spot of the crossbows, these ambushers could only shoot each other at Wang Bing's personal guards on the opposite side of the mountain wall, just like Wang Bing and others.

However, facing the sophisticated armor of the Yulin Guards, the lethality of these crossbows was much worse than the previous grenades.

So for a while, even though Wang Bing and his side were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, the two sides formed a stalemate.

"Have someone stop the bleeding and bandage the injured brothers first, and count the casualties!"

Taking advantage of the temporary stalemate between the two sides, Wang Bing quickly sent out manpower to treat the personal guards who had been blasted by grenades.

"Damn it, the Habayashi Guards are indeed known as the strongest army in the world. Their reaction is so fast! With so many grenades, it only took a few people to be killed. Not to mention, a few dozen people blocked hundreds of us.

Brother’s Raid!”

Just when Wang Bing was sending out his manpower to treat the wounded, on the mountainside on the west side of the valley, looking at his men who were being knocked down by fire blunderbuss, the strong man with scars all over his face couldn't help but look in admiration.

Open your mouth and praise.

"Why, are you afraid? Let me remind you, if you continue to linger, wait until the people from Shanfang Fort arrive..."

As soon as the scarred man's praising words fell, behind him, a thin, gray-haired, masked old man spoke coldly and urged him.

"Hmph, how can I fight and I need you to teach me? If you have the ability, do it yourself?"

After casting a glance at this guy who had been hiding his face, the scarred man turned his head and continued to focus on the valley.

…

"General, fifteen brothers died, and twenty-one were seriously injured and lost their fighting ability!"

Just when the scarred man and the masked old Jin were choking each other on the mountainside, in the valley, Wang Bing also learned the casualties of the guards.

"Zhang Hong, you eggless bastard, you dare to leak the grenade. I will kill you with my own hands when I get back!"

After learning about the casualties of his personal guards, Wang Bing couldn't help but his face suddenly darkened, and he furiously cursed Zhang Honglai, the eunuch in charge of the war.

"General, now is not the time to be angry. While they are out of grenades, I will escort you out first. Then we will go to Shanfang Fort to mobilize troops..."

Seeing that the opponent seemed to have no grenades, Shuerhaqi began to take off his cotton armor, preparing to add another level of protection to Wang Bing, and then rush out.

"Put your armor on for me! Just a bunch of rabble-rousers want me to be a deserter? Back then, more than a hundred of us could run rampant on the grassland and withstand the attack of thousands of Tatars. Are we still afraid of hundreds of us hiding our heads and tails?"

Everyone?"

After knocking down an ambushed enemy halfway up the opposite valley with one shot, Wang Bing, who was reloading his ammunition, waved his hand to stop Shuerhaqi from disarming.

"Besides, with such thick snow, the horses can't run, so how can they charge? We'll just stay here and force them to show up and confront us head-on!"

After raising the gun again to knock down an enemy, Wang Bing issued an order to stand firm on the spot.

"General, we have too few men. If they don't show up and keep shooting at us with their bows and crossbows, I'm afraid we will be the ones who suffer the consequences over time. In addition, in this icy and snowy environment, I'm afraid the injured brothers won't be able to hold on for long.

!”

After hearing Wang Bing's order to stay on the spot, Shuerhaqi and others couldn't help but asked with some worry.

"Don't worry, don't forget, this is not far from the Shanfang Fort. The sound of the grenade just now may have been heard by the Shanfang Fort. So these people will definitely not drag it on forever."

"In addition, let a few brothers kill the injured horses. Then empty the horse's belly and put all the injured brothers into the horse's belly!"

After giving the order to stay on the spot, Wang Bing looked at the whining war horses and injured guards lying on the ground, but Wang Bing remembered the legendary method of treating wounded soldiers by the Mongols.

Of course, Wang Bing didn't really believe in the miraculous efficacy of this method. He used the abdominal cavity of the war horse to place the wounded, just to try to maintain their body temperature in this ice and snow.

…

"Woooooo~"

Just when a few guards were braving arrows to drag the injured horse that fell to the ground, and were preparing to make "cold-proof clothes" for the injured guards, a low horn sound suddenly sounded on the mountainside.

"People in the military?"

Hearing the sound of a horn that was usually used in the army, Wang Bing, who was already gloomy, couldn't help but frown, and cold murderous intent burst out from his slightly narrowed eyes.

"General..."

Listening to the horn sound coming from the mountainside, not only Wang Bing, but also all the personal guards reacted in the same way.

"It doesn't matter, at most they are just private soldiers who were eliminated during the military rectification!"

Wang Bing shook his head disdainfully, but Wang Bing waved his hand indifferently.

"Backers array!"

Seeing that these people were just as he expected and were preparing to engage him hand-to-hand, Wang Bing immediately gave the order to form an array with their backs against the mountain wall.

"Creak, creak, creak..."

It didn't take long, and with the sound of intensive treading on the snow, there were about five hundred enemies dressed in various colors, but their military characteristics could be seen at a glance. They were also lined up in a fairly neat formation, holding weapons in their hands.
