On the grassland twenty miles away from the Huzi Banner camp, there are newly built yurts.
The largest yurt among them is the sweat tent of Bushitu.
"Old Taiji, as you said before, the fortress of the Tiger Character Banner has not been built yet, and their soldiers cannot hide in the fort. When do you think it is appropriate for us to take action?" Bu Shitu asked Xiang Sitting there. Cancantada on the side.
Kankantada stroked his beard and said: "Don't worry, the road warriors who have been driving for such a long time are all tired. Let's rest today and wait until all the sentry riders come back to figure out the situation of the Tiger Flag. It’s not too late to take action.”
"That's fine, just do as Lao Taiji said." Bu Shitu nodded.
The big tent was filled with Taijis from all tribes. The big Taiji sat in the back, and the Taijis from the smaller tribes sat near the door.
Bu Shitu turned his head and said to the person next to him: "Zhamuhe, go outside the tent and take the returning sentries directly to the big tent. I want to personally understand the arrangement of the Tiger Flag."
"Yes." Zhamuhe agreed, turned around and exited the tent.
Bu Shitu then said to the other people in the Khan's tent: "Don't leave today. I've asked someone to prepare a few roasted sheep and the strongest wine. You can eat with me while waiting for news from the Sentinels."
The big Taijis in the tent nodded slightly while maintaining their identity, but the Taijis from the small tribes all said something about boasting about the Stone Rabbit and belittling the Tiger-Character Flag.
The atmosphere in the entire tent was very joyful.
Tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were dispatched, and they could plunder a handful in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, no one thought that the battle with the Tiger-Character Banner would fail. Everyone thought about when to kill all the people in the Tiger-Character Banner and rob the Tiger-Character Banner. Flag of wealth.
The roasted mutton is delivered to the tent.
There were silver pots and cups placed in front of Bu Shitu, and even the plate holding the mutton was a silver plate.
Mongolians love wine. Many Taijis have wine bowls placed on low tables in front of them, and wine jars beside them. There are red letters on them with the words "sorghum fermented rice" written on them.
After the sorghum wine from Tiger Character Banner flowed into the grassland, the sorghum became the strongest wine on the grassland, which was the most loved by the Mongolians. Many Taijis would use cattle and sheep to make several jars.
There was a lively drinking scene in the tent when Zhamuhe walked in from outside.
He came to Bu Shitu and whispered: "Great Khan, the sentry sent out has returned."
Bu Shitu put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his head and said, "Since you are back, bring people in. Several Taijis are here, let's listen together."
"Yes." Zhamuhe nodded, turned and left the tent.
Not long after, Zhamuhe walked in with a strong, round-faced Mongolian.
"Mo Rigen has met the Great Khan and all Taiji." Mo Rigen bent down and saluted.
Bu Shitu did not speak to Morigen first, but looked at Kankantada aside and said, "He is the sentry sent out by Lao Taiji, right?"
"Mo Rigen is a rare warrior in the tribe. This time, he will lead the people to inquire about the situation of the Tiger Flag." Kankantada said with a smile.
Only then did Bu Shitu look away and said to Mo Rigen in front of him: "Even Lao Taiji praised you as a warrior. You must be capable. Tell me, what information did you find out this time?"
"I would like to thank the Great Khan and Taiji for their appreciation." Mo Rigen saluted to Bushitu and Kankantada, and then said, "This time my subordinate rode out with a sentry, and found that only the tiger-shaped flag was left. The lower fort twenty miles away is still under construction, and the other forts have been built, and their soldiers are stationed inside. As for the fort twenty miles away, the camp of the Tiger Flag is in the fort they built. Outside, there is a vehicle formation composed of one or two thousand soldiers at the front."
Bu Shitu smiled and said: "Well done, Zhamuhe, serve wine to our warriors."
Zhamuhe came over with a wine bowl, poured a bowl of wine from the wine jar on the side and handed it over. reading room
Morigen took the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, wiped the wine stains on his mouth, and said with a smile on his face: "I thank Khan for the wine."
"Okay, you go down and have something to eat. You will need to make new achievements with the other sentry riders later." Bu Shitu waved his hand towards him, indicating that Morigen could retreat.
"My subordinates resign." Mo Rigen bowed to Bushitu and then to Kankantada before leaving.
After he exited the tent, Bushitu turned to look at Kankantada and said, "This Mo Rigen is very good. There are many sentries sent out to inquire about the situation. He is the first one to come back and report."
"He is a rare Batur in the tribe. After this expedition to Tiger Flag, I plan to keep him as a personal guard by my side." Kankantada said with a smile while stroking his beard.
Mo Rigen brought glory to his face, which made him very happy.
Bu Shitu picked up the wine glass on the low table and said, "I would like to pay a toast to you, Mr. Taiji."
Kankantada hurriedly picked up the wine glass on the table and exchanged greetings with Shitu.
The banquet in the big tent lasted until midnight. Many Taiji stumbled out of the big tent and returned to the tribe under the care of their own guards.
Woo! Woo...woo!
One night passed, and the horn sounded in the Mongolian camp.
The Mongolian army began to gather, and all the capable warriors from each tribe, led by Taiji of their own tribe, rushed towards the direction of the fortune teller's tent.
More than an hour passed, and tens of thousands of Mongolian troops slowly approached the camp of Tiger Flag.
After the tiger-character flag sentinels heard the horn horn, cavalry began to return to report the news. When the Mongolian army was dispatched, the remaining sentinels also returned one after another.
The Mongolian sentries also scattered out at this moment. They noticed the tiger-character flag sentries galloping on the grassland and chased after them one after another.
"Captain, the Mongols are catching up." A man wearing a breastplate with a tiger banner cavalry who was one horse length ahead of him shouted loudly.
Tu Sha, who was galloping on his horse, turned around and glanced around, and saw a dozen Mongolian cavalry behind him chasing after him.
The only ones who could catch up at this time were the Mongolian sentinels. With the Mongolians' equestrian skills, it wouldn't take long for them to be caught up with them.
"Turn around and kill these Mongolian sentry cavalry." Tu Sha shouted, and then he led a small group of cavalry back in circles.
The Mongolian sentries who were chasing after them with their backs turned originally were now facing each other.
"Kill!" Tu Sha shouted and picked up the rifle at the same time.
The Tiger Banner cavalry around him all took out their rifles and raised them with one hand.
The chasing Mongolian sentries not only did not run away when they saw the cavalry with the Tiger Flag, but instead rushed towards them. They all looked happy and grabbed their own bows.
The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and the Mongolian side took the lead in shooting the arrows in their hands.
A dozen arrows flew towards Tu Sha and others.
boom! Bang...bang!
Tu Sha and the cavalry around him also fired their muskets.
