Hearing the worry in Boriged's tone, Arslan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Su Nang is defeated this time. Even if he wants to continue to use troops against the fortress of the Tiger Flag, other Taiji will not agree. , and Kankantada is coming soon, he is our Tumote's most skilled Taiji, with him here, we will definitely be able to capture the fortress of the Tiger Flag."
"I hope that after Kancantada and Batu arrive, they can help the army successfully capture the fortress of the Tiger Flag." Bozhigede sighed.
He didn't have much confidence in his heart. The Tiger Flag's cannon gave him too much of a shock. It was the first time he saw Akito's cannon being so powerful, so he didn't think Kankanta would be able to change it once he reached it. The current situation of the army.
Azlan patted Bozhigede on the shoulder and said: "Stop thinking nonsense, you go and distribute the sheep sent by the food bag to the families of the dead warriors, two sheep per family. If it’s not enough, we’ll make up for it from our herd, and remember to tell the families of those warriors that when we capture the fortress of the Tiger Flag, we will still share the benefits promised to them.”
"Abu, I'll go then." Bozhigede said.
Arslan nodded.
Bozhigede walked away from the yurt.
As soon as he walked out of the yurt, he saw someone riding a fast horse galloping in the middle of the yurt in the distance. At the same time, the man on horseback shouted: "The army led by Kankantada and Batu has arrived. Kankantada and Batu have arrived." The army led by the two Taijis has arrived."
While shouting, he galloped away from Bozhgede quickly.
The sky in the west is bright red, and the sky in the east is gradually darkening.
Azlan ran out of the yurt, looked at Bozhged and asked, "Did the man just now say that Kankantada and Batu have arrived?"
Boziged nodded and said, "The man who just rode away was indeed saying that Kankantada and Batu had arrived."
"Great." Arslan said with a happy face, "You come with me to see Kankantada. At this time, the other Taijis should have gone to Su Nang's tent, so let's go too."
"Didn't you say that the sheep should be distributed to the families of those warriors who died? Otherwise, I won't go. It's better for you, Abu, to go by yourself!" Boziged said.
Arslan said: "Your matter is not urgent. Going to Su Nang's tent is the most important thing."
After saying that, he walked towards his horse.
Bozhiged hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.
The two men mounted their respective horses and galloped towards Su Nang's tent.
Along the way, not only their father and son, but also other Taijis also rode horses to Su Nang's tent.
When the two of them came outside the Su Nang tent, they saw a strange elite armored cavalry outside the tent.
After getting off their horses, the two of them entered Su Nang's tent along with other Taiji who came over.
The charcoal brazier and other items in the big tent had been cleared away long ago, and Su Nang was sitting cross-legged on the mat in the middle.
On his left and right sides were Kankantada and Batu.
The tribe to which Kankantada belongs is powerful, only slightly less powerful than the Su Nang tribe and the Ulut tribe before the split, but much stronger than the other Taiji tribes present, and Batu is from the Lindan Khan faction. The supervisory minister of Tumut has a higher status than the average Taiji.
The two of them were sitting at the head of the large tent, and no one felt it was inappropriate.
Azilan's status was not high and the strength of the tribe he belonged to was average, so he took Boziged and found two empty seats among the many Taijis to sit down.
From time to time, Taiji would come in from outside the tent, find their respective places in the tent and sit down cross-legged.
When all the Taijis arrived, Wo Lunkuo arranged for his personal guards to bring wine and some food to the Taijis in the big tent.
Su Nang had a good night's sleep, and the drunkenness had subsided a lot. In addition, he often drank alcohol, and now there was no hint of drunkenness on his face.
"Come, let's raise our glasses to welcome the arrival of Kankantada and Batu." Su Nang raised the wine glass in his hand.
There was no wine bowl this time. In front of everyone's table was a wine glass the size of two or three cents.
Although such a large wine glass is not satisfying for the Mongols, everyone in Taiji in the big tent knows that drinking is secondary, and the main purpose is to discuss the attack on the Tiger Flag Dunbao.
The Taijis in the big tent all raised their wine glasses and said, "Here's to you two Taijis."
After that, everyone put the wine glass to their lips and drank it in one gulp.
Kankantada put down his wine glass, turned to look at Su Nang, and said: "Before coming, I heard the sentry sent out report, Taiji, you suffered losses in the two attacks on Tiger Flag Dunbao, and also suffered a lot of damage to me. Mongol warrior.”
The big tent suddenly became quiet.
Su Nang said with an ugly face: "I didn't expect the Tiger Flag's cannon to be so powerful. Both attacks suffered losses from the cannon."
"I see." Kancantada pinched the beard on his chin thoughtfully.
Batu, who was sitting on the other side, said to Kankantada: "Kankantada, they say you are good at using soldiers. Do you have any way to deal with the cannons of the Tiger Flag?"
Kankantada thought for a while and said: "I know something about the artillery of the Ming Dynasty. After one shot is fired, the second shot will take a long time to fire. We can send out the gun in the time between the two shots. The cavalry rushed to the base of the fort wall."
"The interval between the artillery bombardments of the Tiger Flag is very short. Almost as soon as the first cannon is fired, the second cannon will be fired. The pause time in between is not enough for our Mongolian warriors to get close to the wall of the pier, and there is a gap outside the pier. There is a moat around it, and if you want to get close to the fort wall, you must fill in the moat," Su Nang said.
Batu frowned and said, "So, it's very troublesome to capture the Tiger Flag's fort on the grassland."
As he spoke, he looked at Kancantada.
Su Nang has already failed twice. If he had a way, he would have captured the fortress of the Tiger Flag, so he knew that he could not count on Su Nang and could only place his hope on Kankantada.
Kankantada looked thoughtful, and then said after a long time: "What is the specific situation, I have to see it with my own eyes before I can be sure. How about this, attack the fortress of the Tiger Flag again tomorrow, and let me see what the Tiger Flag's cannon is. What's going on? How is it different from the artillery used by the Ming army to defend the city?"
Su Nang also wanted to know how Kankantada planned to capture the fortress of the Tiger Flag, so he agreed: "I will do as you say, and the army will be dispatched again tomorrow."
"I object." Azlan, who was sitting cross-legged below, stood up.
Taiji in the big tent all looked at him.
Arslan continued: "My tribe has lost many warriors. Just to understand the situation of the Tiger Banner cannon, we sent our Mongolian warriors to attack Dunbao. Wouldn't it be a waste of sacrificing the lives of my tribe's warriors."
Kankantada and Batu looked puzzled.
Wo Lunkuo on the side explained: "Arslan Taiji's tribe was the vanguard. When they attacked Dunbao, many people in his tribe were killed or injured under the gunfire of the Tiger Flag."
Kankantada nodded, understanding what was going on.
