"Headman, someone is coming out of the city." At noon, a detective came to look for Ugeqiha Shiha and reported.
Uge Qiha Shiha, who was munching horse meat expressionlessly under the weathered cliff while closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes. Around him, the other Wala generals had already stood up excitedly.
"Ah ha, the leader has indeed guessed it!" A group of people were gearing up, and some people had already begun to shout. "Come on, hurry up and get my horse!"
"Wait." Ugqi Hashiha stopped these excited generals. He frowned and turned to ask Tanma: "Are you sure they are herdsmen? How many people came out?"
"What are you waiting for? Those herders who are attached to the Han people are just lowly herders, not worthy of the warriors' caution..."
"Shut up." Ugqi Hashiha gave the general a cold look. "Even if the wolves face a sheepfold, they will first check for signs of sheepdogs around them... The Han people have always been crafty. What if this is just a bait to lure us into being fooled?"
As one of the leaders of the Oara tribe who supported Yesudie's ascension to the throne of Khan, Ugqi Hashha always considered himself very wise.
He carefully interrogated the detective who went to inquire, carefully considering every detail, and finally came to the conclusion that those who left the city walls of the forecourt were indeed herdsmen from the surrounding pastures. No matter their appearance or behavior, they are completely different from the Han people.
"Chief, can we set off now?" a general urged.
"...Wait a minute." Ugqi Hashiha shook his head. Seeing that his generals were still preparing to say more, he glanced at them viciously.
"There are more than 30,000 herdsmen in Yijinai City, and only a few hundred have gone out. If we set out now, how many cattle, sheep and cattle can we grab?"
"These people are exploring the way for the herdsmen in the city. Only when they are safe will the other herdsmen in the city come out with confidence... There are only two thousand households of the Ming army guarding Yijinai City. As long as there are no other herdsmen in the city, Herdsmen, what do they use to fight with our Mongolian warriors?”
"Only when the city is empty can we dedicate our wealth and glory to Yesudier Khan."
Ugqi Hashiha's slender eyes shone with a shrewd light. Although he doesn't know how to say "Putting a long line to catch big fish" as a saying, he understands the truth behind it.
This group of Wala people waited here for a few more days, until more than 20 days later, the Tanma who had been sent out came again to report: Almost all the more than 30,000 herdsmen had left the city, and Yiji Nai City was already empty.
"Are you sure the information is accurate?" Ugoqi Hashha was still cautious. "Did you see those herdsmen leaving the city with your own eyes?"
"Immortal God, I watched those herdsmen leaving the city with my own eyes!" Tan Ma, who came back to report, swore. "I saw herdsmen driving their cattle and sheep out of the city every day during the day. For ten days in a row, there were more and more herdsmen driving out of the city every day."
"Those cattle and sheep don't lie to people, and I once took the risk to get close to the herdsmen's station... They are indeed good herders, they can't be cowardly Han people pretending to be!"
Ugqi Hashha was relieved. He was right, cattle and sheep would not lie to others. Since the cattle and sheep were driven out, those people could only be simple herdsmen.
"Okay!" He suddenly stood up, his originally sinister eyes turning into bloodthirsty ones. "Let the warriors have a good meal as soon as possible. We will set off as soon as daybreak."
"First capture the traitors who vassalized the Han people, and then capture the city of Yijinai..."
…
To the north outside Yiji Nai City, hundreds of yurts have been erected on what was originally a vast grassland, giving this morning when the sun is rising a bit more peaceful atmosphere.
This is the largest pasture outside Yijinai City, with hundreds of herdsmen grazing here. These herdsmen had originally abandoned this pasture due to the plundering of Wala, but now that life has returned to stability, they have returned to this treasured land.
"Hurry, hurry up!"
In the west, Ugeqi Hashha is leading eight thousand Oara warriors galloping on the grassland. Eight thousand war horses galloped wildly, enough to make the entire pasture tremble with their power. In the faint morning light, Ugqiha Shiha could vaguely see the outline of the yurt in front of him, but he frowned and asked strangely: "Why are there only yurts on the grassland and no cattle or sheep?"
"Perhaps they were too careful and kept the cattle and sheep in the camp. Or maybe they grazed them in the east." Someone on the left and right speculated.
Ugqi Hashha tried his best to squint his eyes, but this grassland was too flat. The undulating ground was extremely suitable for cavalry charges, but it also limited the coach's field of vision. Seeing that the warriors were already shouting excitedly, he simply stopped guessing.
Under the blessing of the Immortal Heaven, the horseshoes of the Wala warriors will crush everything.
"Beat the war drum made of bullock hide! Blow the horn made of cow horns! Put up my big banner!" Ugqi Hashha shouted. In order to cover up some traces, they did not raise any flags along the way.
"Let these traitors who are attached to the Han people see what the glory of the Great Mongolia is!"
The Vala knights roared in disarray and rushed towards the shepherd's camp like a tide that was about to swallow everything. Uge Qiha Shiha had already seen that the panicked herdsmen in the camp had run out of the yurt and mounted their horses one by one.
"They are running away, chase them!" Seeing someone in the camp, Ugeqiha Shiha's previous doubts immediately disappeared. "Kill them! Steal their cattle and sheep! They will become your slaves!"
The herdsmen in the camp soon began to abandon the camp and flee. Ugeqiha Shiha was very experienced in how to deal with these fleeing herdsmen. He commanded the two wings to separate and outflank the fleeing herdsmen. He led the Chinese army's horse and leaped over the rough fence in the camp. The warriors behind him were also good equestrians. They jumped over the fence one by one, and the people in the camp The defense is useless.
"Follow me!" he shouted, taking out his bow and arrow. He knew very well how to hunt down these herdsmen. They were just a mess. He only had to shoot a few who fled slower first, and the others would just run around in panic and trample on each other.
The speed will naturally slow down.
Seeing him draw his bow, the other Ora cavalrymen who were following closely also took out their bows and arrows. Seeing that the distance was getting closer, Uge Qiha Shiha narrowed his eyes and was about to shoot his arrow.
However, before he could loosen the string, he heard a sound breaking through the air from the front. He quickly lowered his head, and with a "swish" sound, an arrow was nailed to the forehead of a Wala warrior behind him, and the warrior fell off his horse at the sound.
Immediately afterwards, arrows flew from the front, and the pursuing Oara warriors continued to fall.
"Mangu's evil tactics!" Ugeqi Hashiha's eyes widened. The people in front of them did not slow down their escape speed at all because of panic and trampling, but they deliberately slowed down their horses in order to allow them to enter the range of mounted archers...
"Exiute!" Ugqi Hashiha cursed loudly. "They are not herdsmen!"
"They are the rebels who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty!"
