Not only can they basically have full stomachs for more than a month, but they can also eat meat every two or three days. Zuo Guanghu and Yue Mufei have become much stronger.
They used to be sword and shield bearers, spearmen, and infantry of the Ming army, but now they can both ride horses. Their riding skills are not as good as those of the Mongols, and they can only compete with Huang Yi.
Huang Yi has nearly a hundred war horses and pack horses. Except for women, all men must practice riding horses.
Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong, Zuo Guanghu, Yue Mufei and other thirty young men and young adults have been practicing riding combat.
Huang Yi also often organizes everyone to divide into two teams to simulate a confrontation between the two armies...
Zuo Guanghu and Yue Mufei's experience as slaves in the prairie was not entirely bad. At least they learned to ride horses.
They used to be very envious of cavalry, but now that their dream has come true, of course they are willing to practice hard on cavalry.
Both of them wore leather armor lined with cotton armor, and neither used a Mongolian scimitar.
Yue Mufei was still sprinting with a 1-foot-2-foot pewter pole spear, while Zuo Guanghu was holding a leather shield in his left hand and wielding the ghost-headed sword made for him by Qi Dashan in his right hand.
This knife weighs six pounds and seven taels, more than double the weight of an ordinary Mongolian scimitar.
Neither of them knew how to shoot, but they were both practicing throwing spears. Each of them carried three spears on his back.
This investigation received much attention.
Because when the reconnaissance comes back, it is the day to launch the attack.
Not only Huang Yi's men were dispatched, but also Karitu, Morigen and thirteen experienced knights.
Their main purpose was to once again investigate the small tribe whose leader was named Dumubut.
Confirm that there are no other allies around the tribe who can provide timely reinforcements.
The Hedanbaat'er tribe had just arrived and had not formed an alliance with other nearby tribes at this time.
However, alliances between Mongolian tribes are the norm.
It is known that the selected target has defected to a certain Karaqin tribe that has deserted Lin Dan Khan, and it is necessary to calculate how many troops it may encounter.
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind! Sometimes life is quite dramatic.
Just when Huang Yi, Karitu, and Morigen were basically determining the attack route and method, a subordinate tribe of one of the eight original Chahar tribes was planning to launch an attack on the Hedanbaat'er tribe.
This tribe has a population of 2,000 and a few hundred, including more than 300 young and middle-aged knights, and no less than 700 string controllers. The chief is Dakar Mubulu, who is in his forties.
The chief was not only able to fight on his own, but also because he had many brothers and nephews and strong cohesion when fighting, he often achieved results, causing the tribe to fight more and more.
This tribe has always coveted this vast area at the western foot of Yanshan Mountain, and of course they do not want a tribe with a population and strength close to theirs to appear here.
However, Dakha Mubulu did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he deliberately led his tribe close to the settlement of Hedanbaat'er tribe, thinking of defeating the enemy without fighting.
Why does he think this way?
Because the population of the Mubulu tribe in Daqa is several hundred more than that of the Hedanbaat'er tribe, there are at least a hundred more young and middle-aged knights, and they also have several small and medium-sized tribes that are allied.
He believed that as his large tribe with a population of nearly three thousand approached, someone from the Hedanbaat'er tribe must come to take a peek.
Strength is displayed naturally.
The next step, of course, was to send envoys to contact Hedanbaat'er, asking for surrender, and asking for food, cattle, sheep and horses as offerings.
Survival on the prairie is difficult, and food and resources are limited. As long as the opponent is willing to bow his head and offer sacrifices, the Dakar Mubulu tribe that can occupy more resources will definitely become stronger and stronger, while the opponent with more scarce resources will inevitably gradually decline.
Dakha Mubulu is very smart and is ready to play a game of courtesy first and then attack.
If Hedanbaatar, who had just arrived, didn't know what he was doing, he would definitely send troops to attack him.
Therefore, when Huang Yi, Karitu, and Morigen excitedly approached Hedanbaat'er to discuss sending troops to attack Dumubut's tribe, they found that Hedanbaatar had a sad face.
That was the front foot and the back foot. The envoy sent by Daqa Mubulu to extort money had just been sent away by Hedan Bater with kind words.
After asking about the situation, Huang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
There was another war here, and a big one at that. Fortunately, all the Han people went into the mountains.
The food, cattle and sheep of the Hedanbaat'er tribe are barely sufficient to survive.
Only the original team and the young and middle-aged knights were able to have full stomachs. The slaves were thankful to be half-full.
There is nothing wrong with handing over offerings to Lin Dan Khan. After all, he is a golden family and the king of the prairie.
How could Hedanbaatar, a man who was accustomed to being wild, give in to paying tribute to the Mubulu tribe of Daqa, whom he had never heard of?
Hearing the messenger's nonsense, his heart was filled with hatred!
Fortunately, he has gone through many hardships in the past few years and has become much calmer. Four years ago, he would have whipped the messenger on the spot and made him run away with his head in his arms.
He was confident in his heart that the other party could not swallow his troops.
But we know that the other party is stronger than ourselves.
When his father was still the leader of the tribe, it was because he repeatedly fought to death with the Kacha Gute tribe who were of equal strength!
In the end, both sides suffered losses!
This time, the arrogant and powerful Dakha Mubulu tribe appeared out of nowhere!
Hedanbaat'er had a headache. He was not afraid of death or fighting. What he was most worried about was that the tribe that had finally developed would be defeated again.
Therefore, Hedanbaatar used good words to paralyze the messenger and did not fall out on the spot.
The purpose is to wait for the backbone Huang Yi to come back and discuss what to do?
Hedan Barter always told the truth in front of Huang Yi.
He made his concerns clear enough that Huang Yi, Mo Rigen's translator, could understand him.
Hedanbaat'er's biggest concern is of course that the enemy has far more young and middle-aged knights than his own, and there are at least twenty more knights equipped with iron armor than his own.
As for which tribes have formed an alliance with the Dakha Mubulu tribe, it is still unclear.
After showing off the enemy's strength, the top eight tribe leaders such as Karitu and Morigen were a little surprised and felt that this battle was not easy to fight.
Huang Yi has the firmest attitude.
We must fight, and we must fight until the Mubulu tribe in Dakha is destroyed, and the majesty and momentum of the Hedanbaatar tribe are brought out.
Let the surrounding small tribes either flee or hand over offerings to express their submission.
For this reason, Huang Yi started a big scam again.
He asked Hedanbaatar: "Do you still remember the situation of the tribe when we first met?"
Hedanbaatar answered truthfully: "It was too difficult at that time. There was no room for such a large Ujimqin grassland, so we had to keep moving to the southwest."
"How many men and horses were there in the entire tribe at that time? What was the population? Where is it now?"
"Haha, I am worthy of my father and brothers who died in the war. Now our population has far exceeded that of three years ago.
Although there are not many knights who can charge into battle, there are already more than thirty armored cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is far stronger than three years ago! "
"Have you ever thought about why this is?"
Hedanbaat'er smiled and patted Huang Yi's shoulder, and said sincerely: "I have thought about it for a long time, just because you came to our tribe!"
Huang Yi shook his head and said: "Wrong! It's not because of me, but because you and the entire tribe have been blessed by the gods. We will win every battle!"
