Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 211 Double Teaming

In the end, Magistrate Tian was persuaded by his daughter, and Tian Xing'er went to rescue people with his second brother as he wished.

This time there are many dangers. We know for now that there are about three hundred people, which is not a small number. Tian Zhenwei and his team had just gone there to deliver the grain, and there were about a hundred people there, and more than half of them were porters and other ordinary people. It's a miracle that they can hold on for so long.

However, according to the soldiers who returned, it was not a miracle. It was that Tian Zhenwei and his men discovered them early and wanted to enter the valley to block the road. Unexpectedly, another team appeared on the other side with a large number of people. If they fought head-on, both sides would suffer losses, and the food might even be destroyed.

So they made a prompt decision to block the other half of the mountain road. At present, they had no problem with food, and they could use snow for water, but once the snow stopped, the enemy might go up the mountain and push the rolling stones on the mountain into the valley, and the team might be wiped out.

Even if the other party cannot go up the mountain, as long as the snow melts and their water runs out, Tian Zhenwei and the others will still be in danger. Now they can only find someone outside to rescue Tian Zhenwei and the others.

The place where they were trapped was away from the main road. Even if someone from General Li Yun's side came to check out the situation, they might not be able to find Tian Zhenwei and the others in time.

Therefore, Tian Xing'er and his team will be their lifeline. There can be no mistakes on this trip, otherwise, many people will die.

On the second day, Prefect Tian had already selected the troops, and the judge brought all the remaining soldiers that Zhao Shi could take away. Tian Xing'er's men also arrived, almost 200 people. There was no task of transporting grain this time, so the team only brought the rations needed for the journey and set off.

The team leader this time was one of the soldiers who had returned to report the news. Although it saved them a lot of worry, the further they went towards Qishan, the heavier the snow became. They thought they could travel much faster, but it still took them about 10 days despite their haste.

The soldier who led the team stopped and pointed to the forest ahead and said to Tian Xing'er, "Miss Tian, ​​it's right in front of us. That's where we were trapped before."

"Okay, then we'll stay where we are and send a few people to scout the way ahead."

"I'll go, you guys wait here." Tie Qi did not follow Tian Zhenwei this time, but stayed behind, just in time to follow him here.

He got off the horse and ran forward. It would take half an hour to walk across the snow, but if he rode a horse, he would be easily discovered by the other party.

Tian Xing'er arranged people to guard the base and wait for Tie Qi and the others. Xu Er wanted to come this time, but Tian Xing'er was worried about her father's safety, so she didn't let him come. The one who came this time was Xu Shiwen, the third brother of Tian Zhenwei and his brothers, who brought his own group of people to help Tian Xing'er and Tian Yuheng, and the rest were left in the city with Xu Laoer.

Tian Yuheng was told by Tian Xing'er that he had to protect himself if a fight broke out, and he would be responsible for assisting his sister at other times.

About an hour later, Tie Qi came back.

"How is it? What happened?" Tian Yuheng asked hurriedly when he saw Tie Qi coming back.

"Well, there are quite a few people on the other side. It seems that they plan to fight to the death here. I saw that they killed a wild boar. They will have no problem with food in the short term. I'm afraid they want to trap my eldest brother and the others in there.

As for the other side, I can’t see it either, so I don’t know what’s going on there.”

"How long will it take for the other party to discover us if we go over there? Is there something hiding us ahead?" Tian Xing'er asked.

"There are only a few trees. If we are a mile away from them, we might be discovered. The snow makes a lot of noise. I was almost discovered when I went there just now."

One mile is still a bit far. If we are discovered, we will lose the initiative. We can’t let them all run away.

Tian Xing'er thought about it and started drawing on the ground, dividing the area in front of them into three areas according to what Tie Qi reported.

"Then let's split into three teams. We'll start with a regular team of 30 people. They might not find us so quickly. Even if they do, they won't run away immediately because we are outnumbered. Instead, they will try to kill us."

At this time, everyone thought about pretending that they couldn't win and running back, leading them to the position of our second squad. The second squad was the musketeers, with 4 people, and one person should be able to take out at least 5- people. When they wanted to escape, the third squad would cut off their retreat. "

"This is a great plan. I didn't expect that Xing'er, you are also good at military tactics!"

"I learned a little trick from General Xiao Li." Tian Xing'er casually put the blame on General Xiao Li. Anyway, the people here would not be suspicious.

When Tian Yuheng heard that it was General Xiao Li, he thought it made sense and did not ask any more questions. After all, he did not know any military tactics. This trip was led by his sister and he was the assistant.

Tian Xing'er and his men were divided into three teams. Tie Qi was the bravest and led the first team, Tian Xing'er led the second team, and the third team was led by Xu Shiwen. Tian Yuheng followed them. After all, he didn't know martial arts, and Tian Xing'er didn't dare to put her brother in danger.

After the division of labor, Tie Qi was the first to set out. He was a little anxious to save his elder brother, but he also knew that he couldn't mess up. The others lagged far behind him and acted according to the plan.

A team of about thirty people is also a large number. No matter how careful they are when walking on the snow, there is still a creaking sound.

"Be careful, we are getting closer and closer to the westerners." Tie Qi had come here to investigate before and knew the approximate location, but he didn't know if the other side had archers, so at a distance of 2 miles from the enemy, he asked everyone to be careful and pay attention to the front.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew over and landed two steps in front of Tie Qi.

"Shit, we've been discovered. Spread out quickly and find cover. Be careful, everyone."

At Tie Qi's command, everyone scattered. A rain of arrows shot over, right where they had just stood.

I didn't expect to be discovered by the other party so quickly. Fortunately, Tieqi reacted quickly and no one was injured.

When the Westerners saw that they failed to shoot Tieqi and his men, they walked out and moved forward. Tieqi signaled their men to retreat step by step, and everyone followed the original plan and led these men step by step to the back.

Because the other party discovered Tie Qi and others early, they let their guard down and actually followed them closely in the direction of the second team.

The second team had been waiting for them, but they didn't expect the other side to find Tieqi so early. They calculated the distance step by step. Finally, the Western team fell into the range of the second team. In order to prevent the remaining people from escaping, Tian Xing'er temporarily asked the second team to use crossbows. This crossbow was the one they showed to General Xiao Li before.

"Swish, swish, swish" crossbow arrows flew towards the Westerners, and they fell down one by one. The team led by Tian Xing'er, not only had good accuracy in muskets, but also had surprisingly good accuracy in crossbows.
