Zhang Hong pressed one hand on the female wall and held the monocular in front of his eyes with the other hand. Through the monocular, he looked at the herds grazing in the distance.
"These herdsmen are really brave. They dare to graze under our noses."
Ma Yunjiu, who was also behind the parapet, smiled and said: "Don't be angry. Huang Hong brought news before, but now all the Mongolians from all Tumut tribes are eager to eat the flesh and blood of our Tiger Flag, not to mention grazing in front of our eyes." , I don’t think it’s strange even if they come to attack our castle now.”
Under the propaganda of the nobles of the Tumut tribes, the Tiger Flag has become a liar and a robber in the eyes of the herdsmen. In the past, transactions between the Tiger Flag and the herdsmen were said to be the Tiger Flag squeezing the wealth of the herdsmen. The herdsmen are having a hard time because of the Tiger Flag.
Of course, in addition to publicizing the abomination of the tiger-character flag, nobles from various tribes also promoted the wealth of the tiger-character flag. Grabbing some at will can make the herdsmen have a comfortable winter.
It can be said that in the eyes of herdsmen, Tiger Flag has become a heinous business name, and it is also a very wealthy business name.
From every tribe gathered on the grasslands near Qingcheng, many warriors clamored to kill all the people who held the tiger-character flag and rob the wealth of the tiger-character flag every day.
"More and more tribes are gathering here in Qingcheng. Even here we can smell the stench of feces every day. I'm afraid the smell is stronger over there in Qingcheng. I don't know how they get together with so many Mongolians." I can stand this smell." Zhang Hong said, holding a telescope in his hand.
Ma Yunjiu on the side smiled and said: "Don't think this smells bad, it is a good thing for herdsmen. It can be used to make fires after drying, and it can also be used to keep warm in winter."
"Don't tell me, this thing doesn't smell bad when it's burning, but it has a slight fragrance." Zhang Hong replied with a smile.
The winter on the grassland is extremely cold. Even if there is a stove in the Tiger Flag for heating, some dung cakes will sometimes be burned. The dung cakes are mixed with hay and are very suitable for burning as firewood.
"Don't worry about watching for yourself, let me take a look too." Ma Yunjiu reached for the monocular telescope in Zhang Hong's hand.
Zhang Hong handed him the monocular telescope.
Ma Yunjiu took the monocular and put it in front of his eyes, looking at the herds in the distance.
After a while, he suddenly said: "These herdsmen are really brave. If so many people dare to come to our place to graze, they are not afraid that we will kill them and take away the cattle and sheep they bring."
"What are you thinking? Those herdsmen are separated from the herds. By the time our people pass by, the herdsmen will have fled far away." Zhang Hong said.
Ma Yunjiu raised the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said, "Herdsmen can escape, but these cattle and sheep cannot be taken away so easily."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Hong turned to look at Ma Yunjiu.
Ma Yunjiu put down the monocular telescope in front of him and said with a smile: "There are so many cattle and sheep in front of you. If you look at them like this every day, you won't be greedy."
"How could you not be greedy?" Zhang Hong sighed and said, "This is an isolated city now, and our convoy cannot get through at all. Although there is no shortage of food in the fort, meat has been discontinued for several days."
Ma Yunjiu raised his chin outside the female wall and said, "Aren't these just meats in front of you? How about you? Why don't you go out of the city and fuck him for a while."
"Not good!" Zhang Hong hesitated.
Ma Yunjiu said: "There is nothing wrong. Anyway, Bu Shitu has ordered to deal with our Tiger Flag. Even if we don't snatch the cattle and sheep in front of us, we will only benefit the Mongolians who deal with our Tiger Flag in the future."
"This..." Zhang Hong licked his lips, somewhat moved by Ma Yunjiu's words, and immediately said, "Isn't it too dangerous? More and more tribes are coming to Qingcheng now, and there are also many Mongolian armored cavalry. .”
Ma Yunjiu smiled and said: "Those Mongolian armored cavalry are not the opponent of our cuirassiers at all. It's not that we have never fought with them. At most, they are similar to the Ming army's Ye Bushou, or even worse. It's just a battle." I have more cavalry, otherwise my armored cavalry battalion will be able to completely defeat them in one battle."
"Do you want to talk to the deputy director?" Zhang Hong acquiesced in Ma Yunjiu's behavior of going out to the city to rob Mongolian cattle and sheep.
When Ma Yunjiu saw Zhang Hong's agreement, he smiled and said: "It's just snatching a few cattle and sheep from the herdsmen. It's not a big deal. There's no need to tell the deputy director."
"Well, be careful. Once you encounter an attack by Mongolian armored cavalry, you must immediately retreat to the fort." Zhang Hongti nodded.
Ma Yunjiu handed the monocular telescope in his hand to Zhang Hong and said with a smile on his face: "You can just wait for the meat in the fort with peace of mind. Remember to ask the cooking team to boil the big pot with water and drink mutton soup in the evening."
"Be sure to pay attention to safety." Zhang Hong took the monocular and warned again.
Ma Yunjiu waved to him and walked towards the bottom of the city wall.
After getting off the city wall, he returned to the barracks of the Cataphract Cavalry Battalion and arranged for his men to pass on the order to assemble the cavalry of the Catacomb Cavalry Battalion.
Not long after, groups of armored cavalry wearing breastplates and holding horses appeared in the open space outside the camp.
The open space was occupied by hundreds of cavalry and war horses.
"Report to the camp, the second group of the armored cavalry battalion has been assembled, please give instructions." Liu Chao stood in front of Ma Yunjiu and shouted loudly.
There were only two cavalry brigade in the armored cavalry battalion. When Zhang Sancha left, Tan Zaiwang left with the first cavalry brigade of the armored cavalry battalion. The second cavalry brigade of the armored cavalry battalion was left in the fort.
"Return to the team." Ma Yunjiu said to Liu Chao.
Liu Chao took a few steps back and stood in front of the other cavalry.
Ma Yunjiu, who was standing on the stage, looked at the cavalry in front of him and said, "I'm calling you all here. I just want to ask one thing. Do you want to eat meat?"
"think."
Liu Chao and the cavalry of the armored cavalry battalion behind him shouted in unison.
Normally they can eat meat every day, but since more and more Mongolians came to Qingcheng, the convoy of the Tiger Character Banner was unable to deliver supplies. They had not eaten meat for several days in a row, and the gluttons in their stomachs had long been The noise started.
"Just eat meat if you want." Ma Yunjiu said loudly, "On the grassland outside Dunpu, there are herdsmen grazing and bringing many cattle and sheep. Now you have the opportunity to eat meat. Just take the cattle outside Dunpu. The sheep have been robbed and can be eaten tonight. The meat tubes are full. You decide whether you want to rob them or not."
"Gotta grab it."
The cavalrymen of the many armored cavalry battalions in front of them shouted in unison again.
Ma Yunjiu chuckled and said: "I know that many of you have been horse bandits on the grassland. This time I will give you a chance to show off your skills. You can grab as much as you can. If you don't grab too much, you can grab it for me." , don’t blame me for kicking your people’s asses with my boots.”
Laughter came from the array of the armored cavalry battalion.
Except for the first group of cuirassiers brought by Ma Yunjiu, the rest of the armored cavalry battalion are horse bandits on the grassland. These people have no other abilities, and the ability to rob is already engraved in their bones.
Ma Yunjiu added: "The third cavalry squadron of the second cavalry brigade stayed in the fort to respond. The others followed me on their horses and left the fort, grabbed the Mongolian cattle and sheep, and set off."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, took the war horse sent by his men, turned over and rode on it.
The barracks of the armored cavalry battalion were closest to the city gate. When Ma Yunjiu arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city gate had already received Zhang Hong's order and began to open the city gate.
