Hu Xiaochuan and the others were scattered around, and they all arrived after a while.
Huang Yi said bluntly: "There are three men and six horses coming from about ten miles away. They are all light cavalry. No one is equipped with iron armor. I am going to set up an ambush to kill them."
Everyone laughed when they heard that three enemies were going to be counted.
Hu Xiaogu said: "There is no need to set up an ambush. There are many of us, so we will wait at the foot of the mountain. When they come, we will rush up and kill them by surprise!"
Hu Xiaochuan said: "We have iron armor. Even if three armored Jurchens come, we can keep them safe and kill them!"
Hu Xiaochuan was full of confidence when he said this. This confidence did not come from ignorance or arrogance, because he was a Mongolian who was skilled in bow and horse. As long as his equipment was not worse than that of the Jurchens, he could really fight on horseback. Gotta win.
Huang Yi said: "I don't know which tribe this person comes from. We must completely annihilate them without any surprises.
Just rush over. What if they immediately turn around and run away, and one of them gets lost? "
Huxiaogu said: "That's right. They have spare horses for riding, and they can be sure that they are riding good horses. If they escape as soon as they get up, it is really possible to escape."
Hu Xiaochuan said: "We are wearing iron armor, and the war horses carry dozens of kilograms more weight. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with them."
Huang Dapeng liked to use his brains and did not agree to charge directly. He said to Hu Xiaochuan and his two brothers: "We must set up an ambush. Don't interrupt. Listen carefully to the master's arrangements."
Hu Xiaochuan has long regarded Huang Yi as a god. He said to Hu Xiaochuan: "We all obey the master's arrangements. We will fight how the master tells us to fight."
Huang Yi said: "The tactics are very simple, just surrounded on two sides!
Huxiaochuan, Huxiaogu, Chalahe, Exunzhaqin, and Dumbu, you five have the best riding skills. Take my and Zhang Dong’s mounts and three spare horses to the foot of the mountain to wait. I found that The three knights walked over and immediately rushed out to block their way back.
The rest of the people dismounted and followed me to set up an ambush on the roadside, and tied the remaining three horses a hundred steps away to attract the attention of the incoming people.
Remember, all attacks start from the moment I shoot the crossbow. "
Hu Xiaochuan understood and nodded: "Don't worry, sir, we have five identical twin horses, and those three spies will definitely not be able to escape."
Because a large number of horses were needed to pull carts and carry supplies, Huang Yi and others only rode thirteen war horses.
Three spare horses and Huang Yi's two Uzhumuqin horses were given to Hu Xiaochuan and the other five to prevent them from chasing the enemy.
Among the thirteen horses, Huang Yi's mount must be the best at running. These two horses were always served by Zhang Dong, and Huang Yi and Zhang Dong alternated riding.
They must not let creatures like war horses be pampered. Huang Yi and Zhang Dong must ride fast and jog for no less than two or three hours every day.
At present, the two Ujimqin horses are in good condition. If they are ridden by the Hu Xiaochuan brothers who are equally familiar with the two war horses, I believe they can outperform more than 90% of the knights on the grassland.
Huang Yi laughed "Haha..." and said with a laugh: "The enemy was discovered by us too early. We can block it and catch up. We count the number of people as few and the preparedness as unprepared. How can we not win this battle?" win?
Remember, you are not allowed to be reckless and you must achieve zero casualties! "
Everyone present stood at attention and loudly agreed: "As you command!"
The three knights did not come at a gallop, they came at a trot on horseback. After seeing the three tied horses in the distance, the three of them began to be on guard.
They were very careful along the way and kept observing their surroundings, but found nothing unusual.
Three war horses means at most three knights, but they are not afraid of three of them!
They did not turn around immediately, but slowed down and approached, presumably to see what was going on?
Huang Yi and Huang Dapeng were hiding in their white cloaks, blending in with the surrounding snow. They couldn't be seen unless they looked closely.
Moreover, the three knights have been attracted by the three ownerless horses.
Just as the three knights slowly approached the horses, suddenly about thirty steps to the left, a snow bag moved.
"Whoosh!" A crossbow arrow shot out, "Pfft!" It hit a knight's ribs directly.
"Ah!" A shrill scream resounded through the valley, "Puff, puff, puff..." The snow on the branches fell one after another, "Boom!" The knight also fell off his horse.
Huang Dapeng, Zhang Dong, Zuo Guanghu, and Yue Mufei all jumped up and shouted: "Kill!".
Almost at the same time, three spears and one feather arrow rushed towards the remaining two knights.
Among the four, only Huang Dapeng could shoot arrows and carried a walking bow. The rest practiced throwing spears.
The distance of thirty steps is not that far. In addition, Zhang Dong, Zuo Guanghu, and Yue Mufei all sprinted for a few steps before throwing the spear. The power of the spear was relatively strong. A knight who was shot by someone who didn't know who was shot also screamed. Then he fell off his horse.
The remaining knight reacted slowly, screamed in surprise, turned his horse and fled.
Huang Yi had already finished loading again, but when he aimed at the knight, he found that he was blocked by the bodies of Zuo Guanghu and Yue Mufei.
With no choice, Huang Yi had to run a few steps and take aim again, but unfortunately the knight had already run a hundred meters away.
He was worried about missing the target and gave up shooting, because the missed crossbow arrows would definitely get into the snow, and it would be difficult to find them in such a large area.
He was also worried that shooting the horses would outweigh the consequences. There were five well-equipped knights blocking the way, and the knights could not escape. The two horses were destined to be his property.
Although Zuo Guanghu and Yue Mufei had been soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it was their first time to kill Tatars face to face. They shouted with excitement while chasing the four empty horses.
They also had a special liking for the heads of Tatars. Without Huang Yi opening a word, they cut off the two heads and melon seeds, and carefully wrapped them in the underwear taken from the corpse.
The two of them also joked with each other that if it were the Ming army at this time, with these two heads, they would definitely be able to become a commander or a small flag.
The fleeing knight had just run less than two miles when he saw five knights and ten horses coming towards him.
It doesn’t take much thinking to figure out what’s going on!
It is known that the knight who was ambushed was well aware of the situation and did not dare to resist at all. He did not run away, but decisively chose to unsaddle, dismount, and kneel in the snow to beg for surrender while the two brothers in Huxiaochuan were bending their bows and setting up arrows!
Of course, it would be better to capture someone alive. Hu Xiaochuan and the others did not embarrass the surrendering knight, they just confiscated the weapons and asked him to take off his leather armor.
A knight without weapons or armor is a herdsman. A knight with armor can definitely defeat at least one against three.
There must be an interrogation.
Soon Huang Yi knew that the knight named Langeha, who should be in his early twenties, was indeed a detective sent by the Mubulu tribe in Daqa.
We also know that there are not just three people coming to explore the horse, but there will be others coming. It is not clear when and how many groups of people will come, but we can be sure that the number of people in each group cannot be too many.
As few as two or three, as many as four or five.
Huang Yili was happy. There were still people coming, which meant that there were still war horses and equipment that could be captured.
