"Which tribe did your foreign intelligence agency decide on?" Ma Yunjiu asked calmly.
Huang Hong did not answer directly, but said: "Before coming here, I went to the soldier camp on the other side of the Dahei River. I saw that several soldiers escorting the convoy were injured. They said they encountered horses on the way here. Bandit attack.”
"The convoy coming from Datong?" Ma Yunjiu asked.
Huang Hong nodded.
"This is impossible." Tu La next to him said, "All the horse bandits in Tumut are here. It is impossible for there to be horse bandits to attack the convoy. Moreover, with the strength of the tiger-character flag soldiers, there are very few horse bandits. The bandits are willing to take the risk to rob the tiger-character flag’s convoy.”
Huang Hong said: "I also think it was not the horse bandits who robbed the convoy, and I suspect that it was the armored cavalry around the Mongolian nobles who deliberately disguised themselves as horse bandits and attacked our Tiger Flag convoy."
"Are there any suspects?" Ma Yunjiu asked.
Huang Hong said: "I specifically looked at the feathered arrows used by the horse bandits, such as the arrows made by the Kankantada tribe. The tail feathers on the arrows are only used by his tribe. Other tribes rarely use this kind of tail feathers."
"Kankantada is one of Tumote's great heroes. In Tumute, his strength ranks among the top five." Tu La frowned and said immediately, "Could I be mistaken?"
"You can't be mistaken." Huang Hong shook his head and then said, "I can be sure that the attack on the convoy has nothing to do with the Kankantada tribe. I even suspect that other Taiji are involved, but No evidence has been found yet.”
"If the person who did it is really the armored knight next to Kankantada, then it will be troublesome." Tu La frowned and said, "You may not know that Kankantada's Abu, his father, He had followed Anda Khan to raid the Ming Dynasty many times, and Kankantada had been with Abu since he was a child. He had learned 100% of his skills. He is the most knowledgeable Taiji in Tumote today, and his tribe is a In a large tribe, there are hundreds of bodyguards and cavalry alone, and even more string-controllers."
Huang Hong said with a smile: "Don't worry, the armored cavalry is not targeting Kankantada's tribe."
Hearing this, Tu La breathed a sigh of relief.
When I was a horse bandit, the last thing I wanted to provoke was the large Mongolian tribe. Now, although I have become the deputy battalion commander of the Tiger-shaped Banner Armored Cavalry Battalion, the entire armored cavalry battalion only has a few hundred cavalry, and those large tribes There are easily thousands of cavalry.
"Who does your Foreign Intelligence Agency plan to attack?" Ma Yunjiu asked.
Huang Hong had just heard the news about Kankantada's attack on the Tiger Flag convoy. He thought that the target selected by the Foreign Intelligence Agency was Kankantada and his tribe.
"It's a good thing not to confront Kankantada." Tu La said, "This Kankantada is not easy to mess with. Even if hundreds of us cavalry all go to his pasture, they may not be of much use. His tribe is the worst. There is no shortage of string control soldiers."
Huang Hong glanced at Tu La and said with a smile: "What Deputy Tu Yingzheng said is right. The armored cavalry battalion has too few cavalry and cannot withstand too much damage. It is absolutely impossible for a large tribe like Kankantada to belong to." You can’t do it forcefully.”
Ma Yunjiu said: "Since we are not going to attack the tribe in Kankantada, then you just said that there is a tribe suitable for our armored cavalry battalion to attack. Which tribe is it?"
Tu La on the side also looked at Huang Hong.
Huang Hong said: "The time is too short, I haven't decided which tribe to attack specifically, but my opinion is that attacking the small tribes that are attached to the Kankantada tribe can not only fulfill the orders of the Military and Political Department, but also At the same time, it is also a warning to those northerners who want to take advantage of our tiger-character flag."
"The order from the Military and Political Department did not say which tribe to attack. It just asked the armored cavalry battalion to deter those Mongolians who were ready to make a move." Ma Yunjiu said.
Huang Hong turned to look at Tu La and said with a smile: "Deputy Tu Yingzheng, you have been with Tumote for many years and know the Tumote tribes best, so it is up to you to choose a tribe that is close to the Kankantada tribe to take action. "
Tu La looked bitter.
Ever since he chose to join the Tiger Flag, he knew that such a day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect that the first target he would deal with would be the Mongols.
In the past, I only knew that the Tiger Banner was doing business on the grasslands and had good relations with various Mongolian ministries.
Only now did he realize that the Mongols were as greedy as ever and could not bear to see the Han people making a lot of money from the grasslands. The Tiger Flag was also tougher than he thought, and it directly attacked the Mongols.
Without waiting for Tu La's response, Huang Hong continued: "Tu La's battalion has been traversing Tumote for many years. Isn't it possible that he doesn't know about the small tribes that are attached to the Kankantada tribe?"
Tu La showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "Of course I know this. I was just thinking about which tribe would be the most suitable to attack."
"You don't have to choose tribes that are too strong, just choose tribes with four to five hundred people." Huang Hong reminded.
Tu La thought for a while and said: "There is such a tribe. There are more than 500 string-controlling warriors. There is also a Xiao Taiji in the tribe. This tribe has always been attached to the tribe in Kankantada. "
"More than five hundred string control warriors are about the same number as the cavalry in the armored cavalry battalion. They are suitable for training the armored cavalry." Ma Yunjiu said.
"How about choosing a tribe with fewer string control warriors?"
When Tu La heard that he really wanted to take action against the tribe he was talking about, he looked hesitant.
"No need to change, just choose it." Ma Yunjiu confirmed.
Huang Hong said with a smile: "Deputy Tu Yingzheng, you are a horse bandit. Why are you so scared before you take action?"
"I'm not afraid." Tu La said: "Mongolians grew up on horseback. When equal numbers of cavalry meet, we will not have an advantage. Even if we have the advantage of armor, the training time is too short. I'm worried that if we fight, If we get up, there will be too many casualties, so it’s not worth it.”
Ma Yunjiu sneered and said: "The armored cavalry battalion has been training for several months. If we can't defeat the same number of Mongolian string control warriors, then there is no need for this armored cavalry battalion to exist. I will personally return to Lingqiu Statue." Please forgive me."
Tu La next to him opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Huang Hong said at this time: "Deputy Tu is relieved. The cuirassiers were only trained for a few months, and they were fighting with the horse bandits on the grassland. Could it be that the cuirassiers who came from the horse bandits are not even as good as the cuirassiers?"
"This..." Tu La choked.
Huang Hong smiled on his face and said: "That's it. Tu Fuying is giving a brief introduction to the tribe you mentioned. Let's go back to the Foreign Intelligence Bureau to inquire about the situation. In three days at most, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau will provide information about that tribe. Accurate information was sent to the Cataphract Battalion."
If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
The main task of their foreign intelligence bureau is to find out information about their opponents so that the soldiers and cavalry will not fight unprepared battles.
Tu La thought for a while and said: "The tribe I'm talking about is called Hatan tribe. The leader of the tribe is called Lu Te. He is a small Taiji with little status. If it were not for the tribe attached to Kankantada, I am afraid that it would have been abandoned by other tribes long ago. Annexed.”
Huang Hong said: "Knowing the name of the tribe, it only takes a few days to figure out the situation of this tribe. In three days, I will send the news about the Hatan tribe."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Ma Yunjiu nodded.
