Chapter 1228 Despicable
Two groups of people met on the grass where the snow had just melted.

The Mongolian clan members headed northeast, while the Zhang family headed southwest, with a distance of more than [-] steps between the two sides.

An Tong stopped and looked at the Zhang family.

He had been held captive for a year and didn't quite understand what was going on.

The most colorful scene in my memory is the blood-stained desert during the Battle of Helan Mountain, followed by the long, dark prison cell. Except for being interrogated and persuaded to surrender, few people spoke to him.Two months ago, with a sack over his head, he was transported here like a sheep.

Today, when the sack was removed from his head, what appeared before his eyes was this situation.

It wasn't until he turned his head and recognized Zhang Rou and Zhang Honglue that An Tong guessed the general direction of the matter.

This is a prisoner exchange.

Li Xia is actually willing to hand over so many important Mongolian clansmen?

An Tong recalled that many people in prison had tried to persuade him to surrender. They not only made him an official Xu Jue, but also promised to let him return to the grassland. In the future, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, his tribe could trade with the Central Plains and learn how to farm. , build a city, and even study and take the imperial examination.

In short, there is a set of rhetoric for buying people.

Of course, An Tong himself is the fourth grandson of Mu Huali, and he called Kublai Khan his uncle, and he received great kindness from Kublai Khan since he was a child. No matter how many benefits he gave, he could not betray him.

But among these captives there must be people who have betrayed Da Yuan.

Li Xia likes to use this despicable trick the most.

At this time, although An Tong has not yet been freed, he is already analyzing who among these Mongolian clansmen will be a traitor, and whether he will be suspected.

The next moment, he narrowed his eyes, and saw Zhang Honglue suddenly freed his hands, untied several Zhang family members, and rushed over here.

"Woo! Woo! Woooo!"

"Woooo..."

The Mongolian clansmen suddenly fell into chaos.

Their hands were tied behind their backs and their mouths were stuffed. Seeing someone rushing over, they could only rush in the direction of the Yuan army.

In the chaos, some people knocked the people in front of them to the ground, and some fell to the ground by themselves, but none of them could get up, wriggling on the ground like insects, whining.

"Wow!"

An Tong also yelled, adjusted his footsteps, stared at Zhang Honglue who was charging towards him, and hit his head hard on Zhang Honglue's stomach.

At the same time, Zhang Honglue also grabbed An Tong's shoulders and hit An Tong hard on the spine with his elbow.

With a sound of "dong", An Tong fell to the ground, and was beaten several times by Zhang Honglue, and had no choice but to bite Zhang Honglue's calf desperately, like a mad dog.

Although one of them is Dayuan Yuxue Chang and Prime Minister You; the other is a court official and leader of Qixue's army.But today, without any armor or weapons, and only wearing the short brown clothes of a prisoner, he is no different from a street rascal when fighting.

After Zhang Hongluesheng freed his hands and knocked An Tong down, he fell like a wolf into a herd of sheep, knocking down Mongolian clan members one by one.

~~
Na Muhan put down the watch tube in his hand, and ordered: "Kill it."

He originally planned to take back the captives and kill them immediately, first kill the Zhang family, and then take advantage of the situation to defeat the Tang army.

Unexpectedly, there was a small accident, but it didn't matter, just a few people made trouble, and it couldn't affect the speed of the Mongolian cavalry swinging the scimitar.

Trumpets sound together.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry rushed out from the reed marsh in the southeast, and directly charged at the two groups of captives.

This is Namuhan's ambush.

He had already sent people to investigate Baiyangdian to ensure that there was no Tang army hiding inside, and then he agreed to exchange prisoners here.

At this time, he and Zhang Hongdao were the same distance away from the captives, and only his ambush soldiers were the closest.

Of course, if there are too many such surprise soldiers, it is inevitable that they will be discovered by the Tang army, and there are not many hiding among them, only 200 people.

But enough, two hundred armored knights with knives and arrows, hacked and killed more than 100 bound prisoners, and then blocked the Tang army, and waited until Na Muhan led the troops to kill, it was completely enough.

Thinking of this, the corners of Na Muhan's mouth raised a smug smile.

"Ha, I'm just that despicable. In the words of your Han people, soldiers never tire of cheating..."

~~
When he heard the sound of the horn, Tugel, the centurion of the Yuan Army who was hiding in the reeds, looked back and said, "Your Majesty has given the order. Why haven't Hagai and Dugeda come back yet?"

"Don't worry about it, just kill it."

Tugel frowned, thinking that it would be okay if the two explorers got lost, let alone encountering Tang Jun.

But if you meet Tang Jun, there is no reason why Tang Jun hasn't come here for so long.

The horn sounded louder, and seeing that another centurion had already rushed out, Tugel quickly got on his horse.

"Never mind, kill!"

"kill!"

The horse's hooves stepped on the wet and soft ground, and it was not fast at first.

Fortunately, although they were in the reed marshes, they were not too deep and could still run.

Gradually, the speed of the horse became faster and faster, and the horse's hoof kicked up a little bit of sand. The two hundred cavalry quickly rushed to the front of the newly released Mongolian clan.

Tugel remembered two things. First, the king had explained that the rest of the Zhang family were old, weak, sick and disabled. Two people must be killed, that is, Zhang Rou and Zhang Lao Liu; Many of the disgraced people are Dawang and Ke Dun, of course we have to protect them.

He immediately gave the order to let other people go forward first, while he himself would lead 20 people to kill Zhang Honglue and save those clan members.

Tugel even recognized Hulahuer, Xue Biliejieer and other great kings in the crowd.

Then, he turned his eyes, subconsciously pulled the rope, and thought: "What are they doing?"

~~
That is more than 20 people in the ranks of the Mongolian clansmen.

They all have the faces of Mongolians, and they are all dressed as prisoners, and they all had their hands tied behind their backs at the beginning.Some people followed several Zongwangs, and some dressed up as women and mixed among the female relatives.

But when Tuger's soldiers and horses came out, they suddenly broke free from the ropes in their hands.

After that, they took out the thunderbolt cannon from their bodies and threw it at the Yuan army who rushed forward.

The veins on Tuger's forehead had burst.

He struggled to hold the rein, but the horse still rushed forward for more than thirty steps.

During the whole process, he did not give the order to shoot arrows, because he was originally here to save people.

Those unarmed captives in prison uniforms were his nobles, and he subconsciously forgot to guard against them.

He was still thinking all over his head that the nobles were about to reward him with a lot of cattle and sheep, gold... A thunderbolt cannon had already rolled to his horse.

"Oh!"

The iron plate pierced Tuger's face, and immediately, the blood on his face was like pockmarks.

excruciating pain.

At the same time, the horse under him was frightened, neighing and throwing him to the ground.

"Boom! Boom!"

Tugel fell heavily to the ground.

Another frightened warhorse galloped wildly backwards in front of him, its hooves slamming into his thigh.

"what!"

The screams were terrible.

But the individual screams are just a small embellishment in the whole chaotic scene.

The scene was chaotic.

Not only was the cavalry of the Yuan army rushing forward in chaos, but after throwing the Thunderbolt cannon, the more than twenty fake prisoners had already drawn their daggers from their bodies and hacked at the released prisoners.

"puff."

"puff."

"puff."

Killing is easier than ever.

The victim's hands were tied, and he even forgot that he could run in small steps. He jumped wildly like a rabbit, fell to the ground and rolled around, crying with tears all over his face.

An Tong was already seriously injured, and fell to the ground watching this scene in despair, but finally found that he could do nothing.

He had to bury his face in the wet soil and play dead.

From time to time, someone stepped on him, and he dared not move.

Because he doesn't want to die yet, he is only 20 years old this year.

~~
At the same time, the banners of Zhang Hongdao and Namuhan continued to waver.

The cavalry on both sides were still charging forward.

Na Muhan raised the binoculars and looked at the scene ahead, first of all he was surprised.

He was surprised that Zhang Hongdao actually hid the ambush in the captives, and couldn't help but reflect on why he didn't think of it?
Because he couldn't hide the ambush in the Zhang family, the Zhang family knew each other, but whenever an outsider was pushed in, the Zhang family's eyes would obviously always focus on him.

But he forgot that those Mongolian clansmen were not very familiar with each other.

In the final analysis, I still believe in the other party too much.

He thought that Li Xia would keep his word, and that Zhang Hongdao didn't want to take Zhang Rou and Zhang Honglue back.

Great anger welled up in Namuhan's heart.

"Despicable! These Han people are too despicable, hurry up, kill them all..."

~~
This time, the two sides agreed to take 2000 prisoners each.

At this time, the horseshoes on both sides were thundering, and more cavalry from the Yuan army appeared to the east and north.

This is again one of Namuhan's strengths.

Although his total strength is not as good as Li Xia's Northern Expeditionary Army, his cavalry is more than that of Zhang Hongdao.

Another Yuan army surrounded the past directly to the west, intending to cut off the retreat of the Tang army.

……

In the middle of the battlefield, the Yuan army finally rushed past those prisoners who were lucky enough to escape.

And Hong Hongdao finally received the Zhang family.

"Fire arrows!"

During the handover of soldiers and horses, the cavalry of the Tang Army was inferior in riding skills, but they wore stronger and lighter cotton armor, held weapons made of refined steel, used fast-firing crossbows and more powerful throwing firearms. , The combat capability of individual soldiers is actually stronger than that of Yuan army cavalry.

Zhang Hongdao withdrew his gaze from his family, took a glance into the distance unhurriedly, saw more cavalry of the Yuan army surrounded, and ordered: "Back!"

He chose a completely different style of play from Namuhan.

He does not plan to increase cavalry operations in the wilderness all the time, which is not his advantage.

Soon, the command sounded.

The Tang army did not retreat to Baozhou City, but to the south, but to the middle of Baiyangdian.

~~
Na Muhan still wanted to chase, but when the Yuan army cavalry chased into the muddy swamp, after all, they didn't dare to go deep in hastily, so they could only gradually stop their pursuit.

Fortunately, it is still far away from Baozhou City, and fortunately, he has already let Oruchi lead [-] cavalry to bypass Baiyangdian to block it.

I believe that Tang Jun will not be able to escape.

But thinking back on the whole experience today, Namuhan still couldn't appease his anger.

"E Xiute, you can't believe what you say, it's so humble..."
