When there were only more than ten people left in the team, Zhang Zai felt despair deeply. The heart hanging in his throat seemed to pop out of his mouth.

This is not only because there is no one on our side, but there is a Khitan cavalry with more than 200 people following him, but also because the grass slope in front of him suddenly rushed down and a group of cavalry were crushed.

Niu Dan and others were successively cut off their backs. Although their courage was commendable, the Khitan cavalry were not fools. They had too few people. Each time the Khitan cavalry only needed to split a part of them to fight head-on, and the cavalry on both sides could continue to pursue without much obstacle.

Niu Dan and others had no choice.

Zhang Zai heard Ergouzi's roar.

Faced with such a situation, more than ten people had no way out to heaven and had no way to enter the earth. Even if they all escaped in dispersion, they would have to be defeated one by one.

This time, Zhang Zai successfully pulled out the horizontal sword, but his hands were still shaking violently. With his condition, if no miracle happened, he would probably not be able to kill anyone or hurt him. The biggest result was that he would die when he met.

However, under the current circumstances, whether one or two Khitans can be killed has no effect on the overall situation. This cavalry that discovered the location of the Khitan army could only be wiped out in the end.

The military situation obtained by hard work and good luck is destined to be unable to be known to the North Gate defenders.

"Kill!" Ergouzi roared with red face and blue veins on his neck burst.

Although he was a recruit and this time he took the mission, the first time he fought with the enemy, the preparations he made for this moment were far from comparable to Zhang Zai. The sweat shed on weekdays and the training he had undergone allowed him to act like a qualified warrior.

"Kill!" The other soldiers also shouted at the same time, with a ferocious expression. When the matter came, even if the soldiers at the border were killed in battle, they would not lose their dignity.

Zhang Zai, Liu Dahe and three other scholars, were stimulated by the bloody energy of their comrades, and their timidity was much less. The decisive back of Niu Dan and others broke the back in their minds, and they gradually became jealous. Even though their bodies were trembling even more due to fear, they also felt a little excited.

At least, at this moment, no one wet his pants.

The Khitan cavalry who rushed down from the grass slope were about to face them, but the team suddenly split into two strands and ran left and right to the wings, leaving Ergouzi and others in the middle.

Ergouzi, who was not yet at the age of the crown, looked shaking.

There are about 300 people on the other side, and there are only more than ten people on the other side. When they are hedging, they will not be able to penetrate the opponent's formation and will all be cut to death. The power balance is so different, why should the opponent avoid his edge?

Should the other party choose another tactic?

There is no need at all.

Young, but definitely not stupid. Ergouzi, who is the smartest in this team, found clues in just a few eyes.

The Khitan cavalry team rode not scouts or scoundrels, but the most common ponies. They wore leather armor made of animal skins, and the styles were not uniform, and the knife bows in their hands were of varying quality, and some soldiers were tall and thin.

This is an ordinary Khitan tribal cavalry, and it does not come from some large tribe.

But if only these are seen, Ergouzi would not be confused.

What surprised him was that the people led by this Khitan cavalry were actually several monks and Taoist robes wearing monk robes!

It was them who led the team into two groups, running through the safe distance beside Ergouzi and others, and rushing behind them.

Ergouzi suddenly turned around, and the scene in front of him stunned!

It was him, Zhang Zai and others were also irritated.

The Khitan tribal cavalry who rushed over from them, led by several monks and Taoists, launched a brave and fanatical attack on the Khitan cavalry who were pursuing them!

The Khitan cavalry has extraordinary natural combat power and is not comparable to the warriors of ordinary grassland tribes. However, they could not imagine that these group of Khitan cavalry obviously had faces, not those pretending to be Tang people, would suddenly launch a rush to them.

By chance, the Khitan spirit cavalry was shocked and the front was soon turbulent. As the people were on their backs and horses were over, screams came one after another, and one after another of the elite cavalry warriors were caught.

They never understood why their companions attacked them until they died.

Those monks, Taoist, were very powerful. Even though they were not real masters, they were enough to face some centurions. They took the lead in rushing into the Khitan cavalry formation and could not have a three-combination enemy under their command.

The Khitans began to kill each other for no reason. Ergouzi, Zhang Zai and others were surprised and slowed down their horses. However, Ergouzi did not let his companions act rashly, but just turned the horses to watch them fight.

His smart head, which had been praised by all the cow eggs, had been thinking about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

The battle of hundreds of cavalry soon came to an end. With more than half of the casualties, the Khitan cavalry decisively chose to retreat and escape. Although they were screaming and swearing, they did not look back.

It was not until the Khitan tribal cavalry began to clean the battlefield, pick up their own spoils, and cheered loudly. Ergouzi, Zhang Zai and others, that they were sure that they had really saved their lives.

And what saved them was actually a group of Khitans.

A monk and a Taoist horse came to Ergouzi and others, and greeted him with a smile. Among the monks, they were the only ones with Han faces.

Ergouzi dismounted and returned the favor. At this point, he didn't need to be on guard everywhere. If the other party wanted to kill them, it would be easy. "I will never forget the kindness of saving each other today. The North Frontier Army will be grateful for the kindness of both of you!"

The Taoist stroked his beard and smiled, "Young general doesn't have to be too polite. Everyone is doing things for the dynasty, no matter you or me."

The monk clasped his hands together and said mercifully: "It is due to fate that we can meet you today. The young general and others think that they have received our favors. In fact, in my opinion, this is not our blessing, so there is no need to thank you."

Ergouzi disturbed his head, and the other party's words made him confused and unable to understand for a while.

Zhang Zai and others also came forward to see him. Seeing that Ergouzi could not communicate with each other well in words, he took the initiative to take over the conversation, "The two masters must be from Wukong Shumen and Quanzhen Temple?"

When they saw Zhang Zai, the monks and Taoists were a little surprised. It was probably because they were wondering how there were Confucian scholars in the army. Although the other party was wearing armor, the demeanor of the literary master might not be able to see, but they could recognize them at a glance.

“That’s right.”

The middle-aged Taoist laughed and said, "Wukong Shimen and Quanzhen Temple were ordered by the king to preach and preach outside the territory, gathering their strength to contribute to the great cause of our dynasty. Recently, fierce battles on the border are in full swing, and we have also taken the opportunity to gather our respective believers to hunt down the Khitan scouts here."

The monk sighed with compassion and said, "It's a pity that the Khitan has a strict control over the grassland, and Yelu Abaoji is also aware of the situation of Wukong Shimen and Quanzhen Temple, and is very careful about us. Our actions on the grassland are not very smooth.

"Today, Wukong Shimen and Quanzhen Temple cannot penetrate the Khitan powers and can only find those small tribes on the grassland."

Zhang Zai nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Before he could speak, the middle-aged Taoist continued: "Fortunately, the grassland is vast and the land is vast and the population is sparse. Not to mention that there are many small tribes, many herders and even families live together, so there are still many places where we can do it."

The monk said: "At the beginning of the war, Yelu Abaoji's attention is on the battlefield, and his control over the small grassland tribes has become much weaker. Only then can we have a great opportunity to develop more believers."

The middle-aged Taoist said, "Yelu Abaoji looks down on the power of the small tribe. They are poor and weak. Not to mention that a tribe may not even be able to get a complete set of iron armor. Many arrowheads are bone arrows. When Yelu Abaoji ordered his troops, he was unwilling to bring them with him.

"But for the Wukong Shu and the Quanzhen View, these poor and weak people happen to be the most likely objects of our believers."

The monk said: "Although their power is weak, they still have a place to use their skills as long as they gather together. There are countless teams like Wukong Shimen and Quanzhen Temple that have been organized. Although they do not have the ability to compete with the Khitan army, it is still possible to cooperate with the border army of the dynasty."

The Taoist said: "On the grassland, tribes are the only destination of the shepherds. Although Yelu Abaoji is the king, except for his direct army and Khitan headquarters, the shepherds on the vast grassland, especially small tribes and scattered shepherds, were not very loyal to him. Under the power of religion, they could easily use it for me."

Speaking of this, the monk finally smiled, "Just like now."

Ergouzi looked confused, like an ignorant child, who had completely listened to the Book of Heaven.

Although he was smart, his knowledge was too limited, and he could not reach the level of his life, so he could not understand these words and the great significance behind them.

But Zhang Zai was fascinated by hearing it.

Gradually, his blood began to boil again.

However, the monk in front of him spoke like a double act, and he did not give him a chance to speak at all, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and felt indescribable.

The Shimen and the Taoist sect have always been opponents, and no one likes them. They fight in the world during the peace and chaos, and they are involved in the torrent of great struggles. They will not stop if they fight to the death.

But now, monks and Taoists get along very well.

The two lower-level monks were able to act together and fight together, and their words were coordinated and seamless, making Zhang Zai, a Confucian scholar, unable to get in.

While everyone was talking, a young Taoist came over and said something to the middle-aged Taoist. After hearing this, the middle-aged Taoist said to Ergouzi with a smile: "Our companions have saved some border soldiers from where you came."

The rescued soldiers of the border army were Niu Dan and others.

After returning to kill the enemy forty years, he ran away and attracted the soldiers who were chasing the Khitan spirit cavalry to pursue him. When he was rescued by Wukong Shimen and Quanzhen Temple, there were only four people left.

Niu Dan was seriously injured, but he could still ride a horse and run.

When Niu Dan and others who had survived the disaster returned, they hugged their companions excitedly, and after thanking the monks and Taoists again, they embarked on their way back.

It is important to send back military information.

When he turned around in the Mercedes-Benz team, Zhang Zai was in a state of great excitement when he saw the Khitan tribal cavalry who had disappeared behind the grass slope under the leadership of several monks and Taoists.

No, those people are not Khitan tribal cavalry.

They should be called the grassland tribal cavalry.

Although the grassland is under the rule of the Khitan, they are not shepherds of the eight Khitan tribes.

Shock is Zhang Zai’s biggest emotion now.

The Shimen and Taomen have found their own position in this increasingly revived dynasty. They began to make achievements in this position according to King An's will and win their own glory and glory.

For example, today, they saved their own team of cavalry, which would affect the war situation in Beikou, Tanzhou, and even the entire Youzhou situation, so that the military newspaper could be transmitted back to the border in time.

The Tang Dynasty today is the vigorous Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Zai felt that time was endless and that it was urgent to make achievements.

There is not much time left for the Confucian school in Yangzhou.

Thinking of his unbearable performance during this trip, Zhang Zai was so ashamed and angry that he was so embarrassed that he died of anger.

After returning to Beikou Pass City, Niu Dan went to report the military information to the commander-in-chief, and Zhang Zai himself talked with Zhang Qi all night. No one knew what they were talking about, but the next morning, the soldiers unexpectedly discovered that the delicate scholars actually got up earlier than them, and practiced their skills on the battlefield, and worked harder than them.

The most important thing is that the look and attitude of these Confucian scholars looking at them and getting along with them has no longer the kind of self-reliance and noble look that they used to be, but rather a discussion of friendship.

In equality, there is also respect and admiration.
