There is an inn more than ten steps south of the official road, just off the Yi River, located in traffic and business is quite prosperous. When people passed by here on the third day of the lunar month, they were still eating, drinking and resting here, and told the owner and the town people that the Tartars would arrive soon and persuade them to escape, either to Suqian or Pizhou.

At that time, the people of Matou Town helped the elderly and children, fled to Tancheng or Suqian, which was further south. Seeing that Matou Town was quiet and quiet, it was obvious that the residents had all escaped, but the owner of this inn had not escaped yet?

The smoke in the restaurant was shaking, and it was obvious that someone was preparing lunch. Seeing that the brothers around him were in a state of dust, they had not eaten well and had not had enough sleep these days, Qian Sanniang said, "Well, let's take a break here. Uncle Wan, take someone to the mountain bag shop to hand it over to the place to take a look."

She took everyone to the inn, but was still vigilant, and sent Uncle Wan and others to search near Pudishanbao. If there were enemies, they were most likely to hide there.

The inn is quite large, with a circle of rammed earth walls around it, which is a bit broken. When you enter the courtyard gate, you will find a large area, a living room, a kitchen yard, a stable, and a forage room, and it is quite large in scale.

Li Ruwan swayed off her horse and shouted, "Jie Tian, ​​Sister Tian."

Soon a woman came out of the kitchen yard in a hurry, wearing an apron, quite young, less than 20 years old. She said, "It's Mr. Li, are you back?"

Li Ruwan leaned over and looked at the lobby. There was no one left, and only a baby less than one year old crawled on the ground. She frowned and said, "Why are you the only one left, what about your man?"

Tian Jie'er said: "I've gone to Tancheng and come back at noon."

Li Ruwan said: "There are wars and chaos, and there are Tartars. You should run away as soon as possible and don't be reluctant to leave your family business."

Tian Jie'er said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your advice. When the men come back, I will persuade them to run away."

Her expression was a little unnatural, with tears hidden at the corners of her eyes. Li Ruwan glanced at her. Of course, she was not the only one in the inn. When everyone passed by on the third day of the lunar month, there were also her men, the shopkeeper, and many friends, all of whom were strong men.

Generally, such stores are a bit uneasy, but Li Ruwan and others come, and Tian Jie'er and others are naturally entertaining warmly and staying at peace.

Seeing the woman, she looked at the large group of horses and mules in surprise, with the heads hanging on them, and asked quietly: "Master Li, are you whistle detectives? Are those heads of Tartars? I heard that you are not from Tancheng, where are the officers and soldiers from?"

Li Ruwan frowned: "You don't need to ask so much, go cook your meal."

Tian Jie'er hurried back to the kitchen yard, and Qian Sanniang and others were still planning to do so. At this time, Uncle Wan and others came back and reported that there was nothing wrong around. There had been searches near Shanbaopu.

Qian Sanniang ordered the horse to be dismounted, but Tian Jie'er was only alone, and he rode all the whistles and led the horse and mule to the stable on the right side of the courtyard. He fed water and food by himself, but he still kept his saddle and his armor.

There was also Brother Song and Brother Huo to the warmer lobby. The captives of the Tartars were also carried in. This person was important, so it was important to pay attention to it.

Qian Sanniang pulled out her mace from the saddle and leaned against the door of the hall. She pressed the heavy sword and looked around the inn.

Turning to the backyard, there is a storage room here, and under the slope is the Yi River. Large patches of dense reeds and weeds are covered with snow. Looking out along the river, there are more than ten miles of saline-alkali land, dense weeds and reeds.

Qian Sanniang looked at it for a while and returned to the lobby. In addition to the guards and horse feeders, all the whistle-sleepers sat around one after another. Tian Jie'er kept serving dishes, fish, chickens, ducks, and vegetables, which were very rich. Smelling the aroma of the food, everyone's stomachs were "gurgling" and it took a long time since she had a good meal.

The baby girl next to her crawled around on the wooden floor, her black eyes staring at everyone, making "giggle" laughs from time to time, and the detachers were smiling.

Seeing that everyone was there, Li Ruwan was not here. Qian Sanniang was about to send someone to greet her, but saw Li Ruwan secretly coming back from the kitchen yard and whispered: "That sister Tian put arsenic in the soup."

Everyone was shocked, Qian Sanniang looked solemn. Although there were some black shops in this inn, there were so many of them, and Tian Jie'er was only one. When they saw the baggage they seized and the Tartar heads they captured, they still dared to poison them. Obviously, there was something that could not be used for reasons or relied on.

Uncle Wan said in a deep voice: "It's only possible that it's the Tartars. I followed us yesterday. If we were determined to walk on the official road and rush to the night, it would be possible to go here in advance to arrange it."

Qian Sanniang's mind flashed through the surrounding terrain. She had searched near Puduo Mountain Bao. If the Tartars wanted to ambush, then it was only possible...

She ordered everyone to be on guard, immediately occupy the rammed earth wall and prepare for defense. If Tartars appear, try to use firearms and ten thousand enemies.

They immediately brought a ward and prepared a lot of 10,000 enemies. Although they consumed some ammunition in the battle of Xima Mountain, four more enemies were hung on each of them. The winged tiger guns, hand guns, and ammunition inside were loaded in advance.

After the war with the Tartars, everyone's confidence increased a lot. Although they were likely to be in a slump, the cavalry were shocked and scattered around the low walls immediately, preparing fire weapons, etc., and they took more tens of thousands of enemies under the corner of the wall, and closed the gate of the courtyard.

Depending on the direction where the enemy might attack, the whistle cavalry were mainly arranged in the east, and seven people were arranged to guard the whistle. Facing the official road in the north, it could not be spared, and five people were also arranged to guard it. The west was not far from the river and the bridge, and the place was narrow. In case of precautions, three people were arranged.

As for Song Ge'er, the captives of Tartars, etc., Uncle Wan was guarded in the lobby.

Sister Tian appeared at the side door, her face pale, rushed into the hall, hugged her child tightly, and shrank in a corner of the lobby and was just trembling.

...

Everything was ready, Qian Sanniang put the side card on her arm, took off her winged tiger gun, pulled down the hammer, and quietly entered the backyard with Li Ruwan, hiding behind the storage room and watching secretly.

I didn't notice it earlier, but when I looked carefully, I saw that among the reeds under the slope, there seemed to be some tricky things in the piles of weeds on the river bank going south.

She gave Li Ruwan a look, and the two of them quietly put down the Winged Tiger Gun, leaned against the debris room, each took out a 10,000 enemy from the side bag, twisted off the lid, and exposed the lead.

They took out the fire rolls, bounced off the bamboo tube lid connected to the thin rope, lit the lead, and without saying a word, they threw ten thousand enemies into the reeds.

There was a loud bang, and the smoke filled the gunpowder, with screams, the scarlet blood mist exploded, and after thousands of enemies exploded, iron marbles inside flew, and large pieces of snow in the surrounding reeds trembled.

Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan took ten thousand enemies and lit them and threw them away. Thrilling shouts came from inside again, with broken limbs flying into the air, and the smell of blood mixed with pungent smoke spread.

Then there came the roar of beasts, the reeds swayed, and several iron bones were thrown in, with great force, and then heavy steps stepped on the snow and rushed up from the slope.

Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan hurriedly dodged the iron bones thrown away. This type of small mace was so fierce and heavy that it hit the custard room covered by the second girl. There was a loud noise, and several wooden boards were smashed to pieces and splashed.

The two women picked up their winged tiger guns and looked up. They turned out to be several Tartar vests. Unlike the Tartars I had seen earlier, they were wearing blue cotton armor, and the same expression was full of tyranny and bloodthirsty.

They rushed over with their leather shield, swords and axes, and their evil spirits were rippling. Qian Sanniang pointed at the Tartars who rushed over with a shield and pulled the plate machine.

The Tartars charged forward with the shield, and the shield raised high, covering his chest and most of his face, only the heavy geese-winged sword in his right hand was exposed. A sudden loud bang, and his shield opened, and then a large amount of blood mist rose from his right chest. He screamed like a wolf, and he rolled down from the slope. Then a shrill howl came from the reeds.

Li Ruwan also fired a gun, and the smoke filled the gunpowder. Another Tartar shield broke open and staggered down the slope.

Qian Sanniang twisted the gun barrel and changed the hole. As soon as she probed her head, a flying axe was spinning over in the smoke. Qian Sanniang quickly flashed, and the flying axe roared past the helmet.

Then there was a heavy sound of stepping on the ground, and a burly and ferocious figure rushed towards this side in the smoke.

This body is full of heavy armor, two large heart protection mirrors on the chest, and the slanted tips are like a small fire flag behind it. The armor leaves are clanging, and they are striding like an iron man.

Every step he took was extremely heavy, leaving deep traces on the snow.

He seemed to be injured, with blood marks on his body left by the bomb holes left by ten thousand enemies after the explosion, but he still roared. Seeing Qian Sanniang and the others, he stepped faster, showing his crimson teeth, and raised the sword-picking weapon in his hand. It was a kind of weapon like a sabre, narrow and curved, with a cold light shining.

"This is..." Qian Sanniang was surprised, but she was not idle in her hands. She raised the Winged Tiger Gun and gave him a gun to the heavy armored Tartar.

Heavy white smoke filled the air, and a blood mist appeared on his hideous body. He shook incredible. He was heavy and thick, and the iron armor made of iron was broken?

The Xin'an Army's Winged Tiger Gun used a long single-headed bullet, and tin was added to the lead liquid to increase the hardness. Twenty steps were useless even triple armor. It was normal for this heavy armor Tartar iron armor to be broken. But he couldn't accept it. He roared regardless of the wound, and still held a knife-holding weapon and howled.

Li Ruwan also turned the barrel of the gun at this time and gave him a gun. The Tartar trembled again and staggered. But he looked ferocious, and he still held the knife and struggled to come here. Blood was pouring out of his mouth, plus the blood flowing from the wound, and blood was cut on the snow step by step.

Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan were really shocked. They twisted the barrel of the gun again and fired the gun at the same time. "Bang bang..." The blazing flames sprayed out from the muzzle with the smoke, and two heavy single-headed bullets hit him again.

He made it with iron, and the overlapping sperm armor was broken again, blood was gushing, the holes were deep, and even cracks appeared around the armor piece that hit the bullet. The single-headed bullet entered his body, causing him to feel blossom-like damage again.

The heavily armored Tartar finally fell to the ground. He held his knife weakly and gasped for breath, like a dying beast.

Seeing the four blood holes on the Tartar armor and the scars brought by tens of thousands of enemies on their bodies, both of them were still scared. Li Ruwan said in surprise: "Is this the Tartar armor?"

Qian Sanniang carried the Winged Tiger Gun back, took the side card in her hand, pulled out a hand gun, and looked at the reeds under the slope: "I don't know if there are any Tartars."
