Not far from the Dahei River, a fortress stands on the grassland.
There is a moat on three sides of the fort, and the Dahei River is on the back.
The water from the Dahei River is introduced into the moat, above which is a cross bridge. Four-wheel vehicles pass over the cross bridge and enter the pier.
There is a camp not far outside the Dunbao.
This was originally the camp of the Third Soldier Battalion, but now it is the camp of the Armored Cavalry Battalion, and the Third Soldier Battalion has moved into the pier and is stationed there.
"Captain, look quickly, another convoy is coming from the south." The speaker was an armored cavalryman with a war horse riding underneath him.
Not far from the pier, a cavalry squad from the Iron Cavalry Battalion was patrolling nearby.
Tu Sha raised his head and glanced at the convoy that was crossing the moat. There was a long queue, which made him subconsciously swallow the saliva in his mouth and said: "I only heard before that the Tiger Flag has gold mountains and silver seas, but now I believe it." .”
"Since our armored cavalry battalion moved here, I've probably seen hundreds of four-wheel-drive vehicles alone." The cavalryman said with emotion.
After the armored cavalry battalion attacked the Hatan tribe, it didn't take long for the entire armored cavalry battalion to move to the Dahei River.
Originally, the armored cavalry camp was close to the Daqingshan Mountains and was barely hidden, but it couldn't be hidden from the nearby herdsmen. Especially with so many cavalry and war horses in the armored cavalry camp, it was even harder to hide it completely.
After attacking the Hatan tribe, Ma Yunjiu was worried that the camp would be retaliated by the Mongols, so he moved to the Dahei River in advance to meet up with the Third Soldier Camp.
"Cannons! Lots of cannons!"
Suddenly, a cavalryman pointed at the large vehicles at the back of the four-wheeler convoy.
Tu Sha then looked over.
Artillery carts towed cannons one after another, walking at the back of the four-wheeled convoy. There were many soldiers following nearby, and at least they were protected by a large group of soldiers.
"Isn't it said that the Tiger Flag is a business name of the Ming Dynasty? Why are there so many cannons? They were also taken to the grassland." The cavalryman who spoke had a look of surprise on his face.
He was a horse bandit on the grassland and had never been to Lingqiu. His knowledge of the tiger-character flag was limited to the convoys of four-wheel-drive vehicles that appeared on the grassland with the tiger-character flag.
Tu Sha licked his dry lips lightly with the tip of his tongue.
Like the cavalry around him, he had no idea that the Tiger Flag would send so many cannons to the grassland.
As a frontier soldier, he has a deep understanding of artillery. He knows that it is a weapon of the country. Most people cannot get these things at all. Even if they can get their hands on them, they will only have one or two at most. To say that they can get more than a dozen cannons at once, This is simply impossible.
But the cannons he saw in front of him were at least a dozen, and that was just what he saw. There were so many convoys behind him, so it was obvious that there were more than a dozen cannons.
With so many cannons, even if all the cannons on the city walls of Yulin Town were put together, there were not so many cannons. However, the Tiger Character Banner's fort in Dahei River actually had so many cannons.
"Captain, where did Liu Dongzhu get these cannons from? Could it be that Liu Dongzhu had a general backing him?" a cavalryman beside Tu Sha asked curiously.
"How the hell did I know." Tu Sha said angrily.
It took more than a general to transport so many cannons from the Ming Dynasty to the grassland at once. No general dared to sell more than a dozen cannons at once. If the court found out, he would lose his head.
On the top of the city wall, Zhang Hong held the parapet with one hand and watched the four-wheeled vehicles entering the city.
Since the completion of the construction of the Dunbao, Lingqiu has continuously sent a convoy of four vehicles to transport various goods to the Dunbao. In addition, there are also soldiers and weapons, and the soldiers who escorted the convoy have also been retained. Come down and act as a soldier in the third soldier camp.
"Zhang Yingzheng, congratulations, your third soldier camp is the first to be fully staffed." Huang Hong said with a smile.
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "I also benefited from the honor of being stationed in the grassland. If the third battalion of soldiers were not stationed in the grassland, the boss would not have given priority to recruiting soldiers from the third battalion."
"Because of this, it further shows that the master attaches great importance to the Third Soldier Camp." Huang Hong said.
Zhang Hong nodded.
The predecessor of the Third Military Battalion was the Third Thousand-man Team, which was also the last Thousand-man Team to be established among the three Thousand-man Teams. Now it is ahead of the other two Thousand-Man Teams, which shows that Lingqiu’s side is not interested in him. of attention.
At the same time, he also knew it was a heavy burden.
As the commander of the third battalion of the Tiger-Character Banner stationed on the grassland, he had already noticed that some tribes on the grassland were ready to attack their Tiger-Character Banner.
Several times the tiger-character flag's convoys were attacked on the grassland, which proved that the grassland was beginning to become unstable, and there were forces behind it targeting their tiger-character flag.
He also knew who the forces were targeting the Tiger Flag, but due to the unusual identities of the people behind these forces, he couldn't take action and kept silent.
After all, although the Tiger Flag has some force on the grassland, it is not enough to deal with the forces hidden behind it.
"Yingzheng, Captain Zhang is here."
A tiger-character flag soldier ran up from under the city wall to report.
"Captain Zhang? Which Captain Zhang?" Zhang Hong was stunned for a moment, not remembering who else in the Tiger Flag was called Captain Zhang besides him.
Before the establishment of the station barracks, he, the captain of the thousand-man team, had been called Captain Zhang. At first he thought he was talking about himself, but then he remembered that he was no longer the captain.
"Zhang Sancha should be here." Huang Hong reminded him.
Zhang Hong immediately remembered that before Zhang Sancha returned to Lingqiu, he served as the captain of the combat team for a period of time.
Thinking of this, he said to Huang Hong: "Brother Sancha didn't go to the baggage corps. Now he is training new soldiers. How can he have time to come to the grassland."
Huang Hong smiled and said, "Then let's wait and see if the person coming is Zhang Sancha."
Just as he was talking, a man walked up from the bottom of the city.
The other party came to Zhang Hong in a few steps, raised his right hand across his chest, and said, "I have seen Yingzheng, Deputy Director Huang."
"It's really you." Zhang Hong looked surprised.
Huang Hong on the side smiled and said: "How is it? I was right!"
"Your Foreign Intelligence Bureau is still well-informed." Zhang Hong said to Huang Hong, then looked at Zhang Sancha and asked, "You are not the captain of the baggage team in Lingqiu, how come you have time to come to the grassland?"
Zhang Sancha said: "In the future, the baggage team will mainly do the task of escorting goods. This time we brought too many things, so I personally came with the team."
"What about troop training? Who is doing it?" Zhang Hong asked.
Zhang Sancha said: "There is no need for our baggage team to train troops for the time being. Now several military camps have begun training on their own. As the captain of the baggage team, I am now free."
"Have you met the deputy director?" Huang Hong asked.
Zhang Sancha was stunned for a moment and said, "The deputy director is not in Qingcheng?"
When he left the grassland, Li Shuheng often lived in Qingcheng.
Zhang Hong explained: "Recently, the grassland has not been peaceful. Some Taiji secretly targeted our Tiger Flag. For the deputy director's personal safety, it is no longer suitable to continue to live in Qingcheng. Now our pier in Daheihe has been built. , the deputy director will stay here in Dunbao."
Huang Hong said: "Let's go, let's go see the deputy director together."
Zhang Hong and Zhang Sancha walked down the city wall with Huang Hong.
