An hour later, Zamulun once again urged Baiyin and Burigude to go on their way.
This time, Baiyin didn't find any excuses to evade. Instead, he ordered the guards around him: "Gather everyone, get on your horse and get on your way."
The guard ran to convey Bai Yin's order.
It took these Mongolians almost half an hour to get everyone on their horses.
Zamulun's face was livid.
He had no choice but to watch these Mongols, who didn't look like an army at all, dragging their feet.
"Zamulun, let your people lead the way." Burigude said to Zamulun.
Only Zamulun knew the direction of the Fan family's motorcade. It was impossible for them to run carelessly in such a large grassland.
Zamulun took five other Jurchens and rode ahead. Go as fast as possible along the way.
In terms of riding skills, after all, Mongolians like Baiyin are the best. They know how to best fit with the horses and how to control the horses with the least effort. Therefore, the three hundred Mongolian armored cavalry always follow Zamulun and the Jurchens closely. behind.
A Jurchen riding in front suddenly said: "There seems to be a pack of wolves ahead."
Three hundred armored cavalry were galloping on the grassland, and the sound of horse hooves was like thunder on a sunny day. All the wolves originally hiding in the grass were frightened out, and they fled in the distance under the leadership of the alpha wolf.
The place where the wolves had just hid was the only way to go to Fan Ji's motorcade. Zamulun remembered that when he went from Fan Ji's motorcade to Horqin, there were no wolves on this grassland, let alone wolves. Take a nap here.
Seeing the wolves not running away until they got close gave him an ominous premonition.
"Go over and have a look!"
After saying that, he took the lead in controlling the horse and galloping towards the place where the wolves had been.
When he arrived at the grassland where the wolves had escaped, he immediately saw the broken limbs and broken arms on the grass. The surrounding grass blades were covered with black scabs left after the blood had dried.
"Zamulun, these people seem to be our Jurchens." A Jurchen at the side reminded.
The corpse on the ground no longer had a human shape, and many parts of the body had been torn apart by the wolves that had escaped before. However, the money rat tail on the back of the head was extremely conspicuous, allowing people to identify the Jurchen at a glance.
Zamulun jumped off the horse, came to the body, leaned down, and began to search for things on the body that could prove his identity.
After all, the wolves only eat meat. Although the clothes on their bodies are chewed and torn, they will not be eaten.
After searching for a while, I found nothing useful.
"Zamulun, look at this knife. It looks like a sahe chariot knife. I remember clearly the crescent-shaped gap on it. It was the gap made when he slashed a Ming Dynasty guerrilla iron helmet with his knife. "A Jurchen on the side picked up a knife from the grass on the side.
Zamulun took it in his hand and carefully looked at the blade on it, and found that there was indeed a crescent-shaped notch on it.
If this knife is the weapon of the dead Jurchen, then the shapeless corpse on the ground should be the Sahe chariot left in Fan Ji's motorcade.
Thinking of this, he said to several other Jurchens: "Go and look around to see if there are any other corpses."
Several Jurchens spread out and began to search around.
Not long after, I heard a Jurchen shout: "I have a corpse here."
"I have one here too."
"I have some here too."
Several Jurchens shouted one after another that they had found the body.
Not only that, Zamulun also found a new corpse again, with a braid like a money rat tail on the back of his head.
In the end, a total of eight corpses were found, which was exactly the same number as the number of Jurchens left in Fan Ji's convoy, and they also found Kutai's body.
Compared with other Jurchen bodies, which were in a state of disrepair, Kutai's body was relatively complete and could barely be identified.
After seeing these eight corpses, Zamulun fell to the ground.
He didn't expect that he would arrive a step too late and let Kutai and others die here.
Burigude and Baiyin came over, and Burigude asked in a low voice: "Are these Kutai and the others?"
The braids on the back of the Jurchens' heads were enough to prove the identities of these people, so Burigude recognized the deceased as all Jurchens at a glance.
Zamulun raised his head and glanced at Burigude, and said with a cry: "I'm late, I'm late, eh, they were all killed, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I wish I had come earlier .”
As he spoke, he hit his head with his hand.
Burigude hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist to stop him from continuing to beat him. He said, "What happened in Kutai cannot be entirely your fault. If you want to blame it, it is also the horse bandits. They killed the people."
Bai Yin on the side said at this time: "Should we go find Fan Ji's convoy? Even Kutai and the others were killed. I think Fan Ji's convoy should also have been bandits."
"Go." Zamulun suddenly said, "These corpses are not completely stiff yet. They should have been dead for a short time. If we chase them now, we should still have a chance to catch up."
"What do you want to do? Let us Mongols avenge you?" Bai Yin sneered.
The life and death of the Jurchens had nothing to do with him, so he was willing to let the warriors of his tribe sacrifice their lives for the Jurchens.
Zamulun glanced at Bai Yin with a gloomy look and said, "Don't you want the goods brought by Fan Ji's convoy? Now that the people from the Tiger Flag have robbed Fan Ji's convoy, they will definitely not be able to move fast. As long as we catch up, we will kill Those who have raised the Tiger Flag, those goods belong to you Horqin, and there is no need to pay any price."
Hearing this, Baiyin was stunned and turned to look at Burigude.
Burigude looked thoughtful.
Every time Fan Ji's motorcade came to Horqin, they brought a lot of goods. Now that even the Jurchens have been killed here, the goods brought by Fan Ji's motorcade should also have been snatched away. If they can get it back at this time, these things Naturally, it belongs to Horqin.
Zamulun said: "Fan Ji brought more than ten cartloads of goods this time, don't you want it? Now you have brought 300 armored cavalry, and the other party is just a guard maintained by a Ming Dynasty company. This is equivalent to more than a dozen truckloads of goods for you to get for free, and such good opportunities don’t come around very often.”
Burigude looked at Baiyin at this time and said: "Baiyintaiji, what he said makes sense. This is indeed a good opportunity for us."
"You mean we take people to chase that tiger-character flag?" Baiyin asked.
Burigude nodded and said, "This is a good opportunity, we shouldn't let it go."
"But in such a big grassland, we have no idea where they have gone or how to find them!" Bai Yin frowned.
"I know." Jamuka said, "As long as we find the place where Fan Ji's convoy was robbed, we can follow the tracks left by the wheels to find the goods."
