Hearing that his soldiers said that Kankantada had sent people, Su Nang looked happy and said with a smile: "Just after I said that I would treat others in their own way, Kankantada's people Here we are, it looks like things must be going well.”
Fan Yongdou, who was standing at the bottom, looked a little surprised and did not understand the meaning of Su Nang's words.
Batu also smiled and said: "If Kankantada's armored cavalry takes action, it will be easy to capture him."
Su Nang nodded, and then said to his soldiers: "Bring the people in!"
The soldier retreated from the house.
Not long after, he walked in with a Mongolian armored soldier wearing leather armor and an iron helmet.
"Zhebie, I have seen Su Nang Tai Ji and Batu Tai Ji."
The Mongolian armored soldier who came in made a Mongolian salute to Su Nang and Batu respectively.
"Haha, you don't need to be polite, Zhe." Su Nang smiled, "Tell me what happened this time, and let Batutaiji and I follow you happily."
Zhebie put down the hand on his chest and said, "When we returned to Taiji, the mission failed. Not only did we fail to seize the goods of the Tiger Flag, but we also lost the lives of more than a dozen warriors."
"How could this happen?" Batu frowned.
Su Nang paused and said in a deep voice: "Kankantada is one of the most powerful Taijis in Tumote. Each of his armored knights are our Mongolian warriors. What he faced was just a group of Southern Barbarians. How could Zi’s caravan fail?”
The heart is unwilling to accept the fact of failure.
Zhebie said: "The soldiers of the Tiger Character Flag are much stronger than we Taiji imagined, especially their car array and fire cannons. Our Taiji Cavalry has not been able to get close to the Tiger Character Banner's carts several times in a row. , and they were beaten back with firearms."
Batu frowned and said: "It's not like we haven't seen the firearms of the Ming Dynasty. It's okay to shoot at a close distance, but it's inaccurate when it's a little further away. It's no match for the mounted archery of our Mongolian warriors."
"Yes!" Su Nang said, "We Mongolians once conquered the entire Central Plains with mounted archery, but now we face only soldiers raised by Ming merchants, not even as good as the border troops. How could we Mongolian warriors be defeated?"
Zhebie lowered his head and said: "The people of the Tiger Flag not only have firecrackers, but also cannons. Nearly half of the dozen or so warriors who were injured were killed by cannons."
Su Nang had a livid face.
Just after he said that he should treat others with their own medicine, the men sent to attack were repulsed and more than a dozen Mongolian warriors were killed.
Although none of the people who died were his, and they were all armored cavalry under Kankantada, the people who died were their Mongolian warriors after all.
"It seems that the people of Kankantada are really defeated." Batu turned to Su Nang and said.
He believed that Kankantada would not lie about this matter, and Kankantada had been dissatisfied with Tiger Flag ever since Tiger Flag built a warehouse. This time, both he and Su Nang were insiders. They also secretly supported Kankantada in taking action.
Su Nang looked at Zhebie in front of him and said, "Taiji asked you to come to my place. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Zhebie put one hand on his chest and said: "My Taiji said that if you want to rob the Tiger Flag caravan, just one family may not be able to do it. You need several Taijis to join forces and assemble a team of more than a thousand people." "
"It's just a small Ming Dynasty merchant caravan, but it needs so many string control soldiers?" Su Nang frowned deeply, feeling that Kankantada was making a fuss.
Zhebie said: "This is my Taiji's exact words. If only one family takes action, or only brings a few hundred warriors, it is best not to touch the caravan with the Tiger Flag, so as not to lose more Mongolian warriors."
"Okay, you go back and tell Kankantada that Su Nang and I know about it and we will pay attention." Batu said to Zhebie.
Su Nang nodded and said: "Go back and tell Kankantada that I know. I will be careful if you attack the tiger-character flag caravan."
"Zhebie said goodbye." Zhebie bowed and left the room.
From arrival to departure, we didn't stay long.
Fan Yongdou, who was standing at the bottom, heard the conversation between the two parties and then understood what Su Nang meant by treating the other person with his own way.
Unexpectedly, Su Nang had already started to attack the Tiger Flag, so he used the most direct method, which was also the method commonly used by the Mongols against the Han people, and directly plundered the Tiger Flag's caravan.
It's just that things didn't work out, and many Mongolians were lost.
Batu said: "In the past, there were horse bandits trying to attack the Tiger Flag caravan, but every time they failed, I never took it seriously. Now it seems that the soldiers raised by the Tiger Flag are quite capable."
"They are just some infantry. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot be the opponent of our Mongolian warriors. You must know that all of us Mongolian warriors are born cavalry and grew up on horseback." Su Nang looked unconvinced. said.
The Mongols defeated the Central Plains Dynasty with bows and horses. This was the glory of their golden family.
In his eyes, their Mongolian cavalry was the most powerful.
Batu sighed: "It seems that dealing with the tiger-character flag caravan is not as easy as we thought before."
"Do you think Kankantada said that on purpose? You must know that he was the first Taiji who supported the tiger-character flag to come to the grassland for business." Su Nang suddenly said.
"Impossible." Batu shook his head and said, "Both you and I know that Kankantada dislikes the Han people the most, especially the Han people from the Ming Dynasty. He supports the Tiger Character Banner to come to the grassland to do business because of the Tiger Character Banner's wealth. , rather than really wanting the tiger-character flag to come to the grasslands for business."
Su Nang said: "What I mean is that Kankantada will deliberately deceive us. In fact, he did not attack the Tiger Flag caravan."
"No." Batu said, "I know Kancantada. He won't make a joke about this matter. Since he said to take action, he will definitely take action. With his status, he will not be involved in this matter." lie."
Su Nang frowned and said: "According to this, unless we dispatch more than a thousand string-controlling warriors, otherwise, we cannot attack the tiger-character flag caravan."
"Since Kankantada said that, it should be true. It seems that the soldiers of the Tiger Flag are more difficult to deal with than we thought." Batu said to Su Nang.
"Then we can only watch the tiger flag build a fort on the grassland?" Su Nang slapped his hand on the low table in front of him.
"Not necessarily." Batu glanced at Fan Yongdou and said immediately, "Isn't Fan Dongzhu still here?"
Su Nang then looked at Fan Yongdou and asked, "How much do you know about the soldiers raised by the Tiger Flag?"
Fan Yongdou thought for a while and said: "Actually, the common people don't know much, but they heard that all the bandits who were originally in Datong were wiped out by the soldiers of the Tiger Flag, and there were very few bandits in the Ming Dynasty who knew how to fight the Tiger Flag. The flag caravan’s idea.”
After hearing these words, Batu said: "It seems that this Tiger Flag is really not simple. Those bandits must have suffered losses from the soldiers of the Tiger Flag."
Su Nang's face was extremely ugly.
The stronger the soldiers of the Tiger-Character Banner are, the harder it will be to deal with the Tiger-Character Banner.
