"Uh-huh, something's wrong, look at the grass blades on the ground." Sahemian suddenly said to Kutai.
Kutai frowned at this moment, raised a hand, and shouted: "Stop."
The driver of the cart at the front pulled the reins and controlled the animals to stop, and the carts behind them stopped one after another.
Fan Youfu in the middle of the team looked forward and said to the waiter on the side: "Go and see why it stopped suddenly."
"Young man, let's go right away." The boy next to him agreed and got off the carriage.
Fan Youfu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Forget it, I'll go with you."
With that said, he also got off the carriage.
When he came to the front of the team, he saw a Jurchen lying on the ground and listening to something.
The man next to him, Fan Ji, was about to say something, but was stopped by Fan Youfu.
At this time, the Jurchen who was lying on the ground stood up and said to Kutai: "Well, there is a cavalry coming in our direction, no less than a hundred cavalry."
Hearing this, Fan Youfu's expression changed.
Whatever I was afraid of would come, but I didn't expect that the thing I had been worrying about would come.
At this time, a cavalry team appeared, coming in their direction. It was obviously heading towards Fan Ji's motorcade.
Kutai said in a deep voice: "Steward Fan, ask your people to bring the cart, speed up the journey, and seize the time to hide in the woods."
"Okay, I'll go right away. I'd like to ask you, Lord Zhen, to stop the horse bandits and save the goods on the car." Fan Youfu cupped his hands towards Kutai.
After saying that, he didn't dare to delay and hurried to the middle of the motorcade.
"Uh-huh, what are we going to do next?" Sahemian looked at Kutai.
Kutai hesitated for a moment and said: "There are too few of us. We will retreat into the woods with the convoy. I hope the other party is not aiming at us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rumble of horse hooves could be heard in his ears, and the sound became louder and louder.
Everyone in the convoy subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.
In the direction behind them, a black torrent appeared on the grassland, as if it was connected to the sky and the earth.
"Don't stop, hurry up, speed up, and drive all the carts into the woods before the horse bandits arrive." Fan Youfu shouted loudly.
Everyone in the convoy woke up with a start. The coachman whipped the animal pulling the cart desperately with the whip in his hand. The other guys also pushed the cart or helped the coachman pull the reins of the animal forward.
Kutai took several Jurchens around him from the front of the motorcade to the back of the motorcade.
At this time, his face looked extremely ugly.
As the black wave on the grassland in the distance got closer and closer, it became clear that the black wave was all black armor.
Sahemian whispered, "Well, let's retreat. The other party is obviously coming for Fan Ji's motorcade. If we retreat at this time, we might be able to escape. But if it's too late, we won't be able to leave."
"Can't leave." Kutai shook his head.
Sahemian advised: "The other side has more than a hundred cavalry at least. We have too few people, and Fan Ji's Nikans can't be counted on. Why don't we retreat and join up with the reinforcements brought by Zamulun from Horqin." "
Kutai said: "Go and tell Butler Fan to stop the convoy and immediately gather all the big cars and surround them. Be quick."
"Uh-huh, these Nikans will just die, it's no big deal." Sahemian didn't move, still trying to persuade Kutai to leave.
Kutai frowned and ordered: "Execute my true order."
"yes."
Seeing that Kutai had revealed his true identity as Jia La E, Sahemian had no choice but to convey the order.
Fan Youfu kept urging the convoy to move faster into the woods. Unfortunately, the cart was full of goods and could not move faster at all.
"Stop, stop, stop everyone." Saheni rode to the middle of the convoy and ordered to Fan Ji, who was driving the car.
Fan Youfu in the car hurriedly asked: "Sir, why did you stop before we reached the forest?"
Sahemian said coldly: "I really ordered that your convoy, Fan Ji, form a circle on the spot. You can hide inside. As for the forest, you don't have to go there. You can't get there at all."
Fan Youfu turned around and looked at the cavalry getting closer and closer behind him, knowing that what he said was right.
With the speed of the carts in the convoy, it was difficult to hide in the woods before the cavalry caught up.
"What are you still doing in a daze? If you don't want to die, just do it quickly." Sahemian scolded.
"Yes, yes, yes." Fan Youfu did not dare to refute, nodded in agreement, and then shouted to the Fan Ji guys around him, "Didn't you hear Master Jurchen's order? Hurry up and surround all the carts to form a Circle, everyone hides inside.”
The guys in the team began to work with the driver to turn the cart around, but they had never undergone similar training, and a team of horses came to threaten them. In panic, they not only failed to form a circle around the cart, but instead caused the carts to move around each other. They collided together, and the scene became increasingly chaotic.
Kutai noticed this scene, which was very ugly.
Only then did he realize that these people in Fan Ji were not their Jurchens. There were some things that their Jurchens could do quickly, but these people in Fan Ji would only get busier and more chaotic.
Sahemian rode back to Kutai and said eagerly: "Uh-huh, let's go quickly. We can't protect the convoy. These people who are coming are not horse bandits at all. They should be the tiger-shaped flag cavalry mentioned by Butler Fan."
Most of the horse bandits on the grassland were dressed in rags and had a variety of weapons. The cavalry coming towards them were all uniformed in black armor and their weapons were blunderbuss. It was easy to tell that these people were not horse bandits, but adults. Organized cavalry.
At this time, the hundreds of riders on the opposite side began to slow down.
Noting this, Kutai not only did not relax at all, but instead had a look of worry on his face.
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he knew very well that the cavalry on the opposite side slowed down their horses not to let their convoy go, but to prepare for the charge behind them.
This situation will only occur in the organized cavalry team. If it is a horse bandit, they will only rush up in a swarm, instead of waiting for the two sides to slow down the horse speed and make preparations before charging.
"Uh-huh, let's go!" Sahemian glanced at the cavalry that was getting closer and anxiously persuaded Kutai to leave.
Kutai hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said, "Let's go to Horqin. We'll settle this account with them later."
After this incident, he completely remembered the name Tiger Flag, as well as the cavalry in black armor in front of him.
Seeing that Kutai finally agreed to leave, Sahemian breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time shouted to the other Jurchens: "Protect Ezhen, let's return to Horqin."
"yes."
The surrounding Jurchens agreed in unison.
Kutai turned his horse's head, bypassed the still chaotic Fan Ji's motorcade, took the Jurchens in the motorcade, and galloped away.
A fan clerk on the carriage noticed the departure of these Jurchens and hurriedly shouted to Fan Youfu beside him: "Butler, those Jurchens have escaped."
"Ran?"
Fan Youfu was stunned, and then looked towards the Jurchens, just in time to see Kutai leading other Jurchens around the convoy and gradually moving away.
"It's over."
As if his last bit of strength had been sucked away, Fan Youfu collapsed on the carriage, his face darkening.
