"Taiji, those people from the Karaqin tribe have retreated." A personal guard next to Suhebamon sent the news of Azig's retreat.
Sukhbamon and Azig each led a team of 3,000 Mongolian cavalry and besieged the castle from both sides.
The news that the three thousand warriors of the Karaqin tribe had withdrawn made Sukhbamon frown.
"Taiji, let's retreat too." The guard on the side suggested.
Sukhbamon said hesitantly: "If we retreat like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Great Khan to explain."
"With the people of the Karaqin tribe in front, there is no need to worry that the Great Khan will blame Taiji for your head." The guard said.
Sukhbamon raised his head and glanced at the fort in front of him, and said hesitantly: "I am not willing to go back like this. If I can capture the fort in front of me, the tribe will also get a lot of benefits."
The wealth of Tiger Character Banner was already well known on the grassland. In front of him was the fort of Tiger Character Flag, and he was unwilling to give up just like that.
"Taiji, don't hesitate. Once the Kalaqin tribe retreats, only our Ulut tribe will be left in the Dunbao. It will become more difficult to capture the Tiger Flag. Continue the attack." , there will be more casualties among the warriors in the tribe, and even if we finally capture the fortress in front of us, it will not be of any benefit to our Ulut Tribe. On the contrary, because there are too many warriors killed or injured, the strength of the tribe will become weaker." The guard advised.
Sukhbamon once again glanced at the fort ahead, waved his hand helplessly at the end, and said: "Retreat."
The guard took out the horn, put it to his mouth and blew it.
Accompanied by the sound of trumpets, the three thousand Mongolian cavalry of the Ulut tribe retreated from the side of the fort.
Someone has been watching the Mongolian cavalry outside the fort from the observation hole inside the fort.
The soldiers and gunners behind the perforations also looked outside, especially the gunners. Each gun crew was equipped with a monocular telescope, which allowed them to see the retreat of the Mongolian cavalry more clearly.
"Staff officer, the Mongols outside have retreated." The cannon was ordered to report the news.
Wu Chunguang suddenly raised his head and said, "Come on, take me there. I want to confirm with my own eyes that the Mongols have retreated."
With that said, he walked towards the fort wall.
After taking just two steps, I suddenly realized something was wrong. I stopped hurriedly, turned around, and said to the person behind me: "Ying Zheng, Staff Officer Xiao, let's go over and take a look."
"Okay, let's go together." Zhang Sancha nodded.
He and Xiao He followed Wu Chunguang and walked toward the fortress wall in front.
The place where a few people were before was not far from the fort wall, and within a few steps they arrived at the edge of the fort wall.
The soldiers guarding the observation hole gave way.
Zhang Sancha picked up the monocular telescope in his hand and looked through the observation hole at the Mongolian cavalry team that was gradually moving away.
With just one look, he was able to confirm that this Mongolian cavalry was not pretending to be confused, but was actually leaving in the direction of the Mongolian army's camp.
"This Mongolian attack failed in your hands. I don't know if Lord Bu Shitu, the Tumut lord, would be furious if he knew about their defeat." Zhang Sancha said with a smile.
The only person who can recruit tens of thousands of Mongolian warriors in Tumut is Bu Shitu, the lord of Tumut, and with the news sent by the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of Tiger Character Banner, everyone in Tiger Character Banner knows that Bu Shitu Shitu's yurt is located in the camp of tens of thousands of Mongolian troops.
"It would be better to make him angry to death. If it weren't for him, there would be no such war." Wu Chunguang said bitterly.
Zhang Sancha smiled when he heard this. 12
As a high-ranking officer of the Tiger Banner, and always with the deputy director Li Shuheng, he knew more than the average officer in the military camp.
He knew that even if Tumote did not take action this time, the Tiger Character Banner would sooner or later take action against Tumote. From the day the Tiger Character Banner built a fort on the grassland, the battle with Tumote's tribe was inevitable. .
Xiao He on the side said: "If we really make Bushitu angry to death, the Mongolian army of tens of thousands will fall apart immediately. They themselves should be fighting over who should be the Great Khan, and they won't even care about our tigers." Word flag.”
Wu Chunguang said with a smile: "It's a good thing that the Mongols are fighting on their own. Our Tiger Flag can build the fortress safely. When they are almost done fighting, we can just stew it in a spoonful and cook it in a pot."
Zhang Sancha and Xiao He laughed.
After defeating the two attacking Mongolian cavalry, everyone was in a happy mood and started joking.
Although the Mongols retreated, no one could guarantee when they would come next time, so the soldiers guarding the fort wall still stayed here and did not relax their vigilance because the Mongols retreated.
The cooking team used carts to deliver the prepared meals to the open space next to the fort wall. Large wooden barrels containing broth were lined up one after another, and bamboo baskets were placed beside them, with pieces of pancakes inside.
The soldiers lined up and one team after another started to eat.
Zhang Sancha, Xiao He, and Wu Chunguang lined up to get food.
After finishing their meal, the three of them sat together.
There is broth in the big teapot, and each person has two cakes and a few slices of mustard heads.
"After dinner, you come with me to the Minfu Camp." Zhang Sancha looked at Xiao He and said, "The people in the Minfu Camp who deceived the civilians and caused trouble must be found out, otherwise, the next time the Mongols come to attack Dunbao, they will Inspiring other civilians to cause trouble."
Xiao He nodded with the pancake in his mouth.
"Do you need me to come over too?" Wu Chunguang asked after swallowing the broth in his mouth.
Zhang Sancha shook his head and said: "You are still here. Although the Mongols have retreated, there are still tens of thousands of troops outside. The Mongols may attack the Dunbao again at any time."
"Then I'll stay," Wu Chunguang said.
The three of them ate very quickly, without chewing anything carefully. Like other soldiers, they finished the food in their hands and washed the big tea cups and spoons they had used.
Wu Chunguang stayed at the fort wall to continue guarding against the Mongols.
Zhang Sancha took Xiao He to Minfu Camp again.
The captain of the soldier squadron who stayed in the civilian husband camp continued to search for those civilian husbands who were instigating other people to cause trouble.
"Zhang Yingzheng, Staff Officer Xiao." Seeing Zhang Sancha and Xiao He, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Zhang Sancha pressed his hand to indicate that he did not need to salute, and then asked: "How's it going? Have you found those people?"
"We have found it," said the captain of the warrior squadron. "In order to ensure that no fish slipped through the net, my subordinates screened it again, and this time it has not been completed yet."
Zhang Sancha nodded and said, "You're doing well, keep going! I'll go see the person you found."
"Subordinates, please bring Zhang Yingzheng and Staff Officer Xiao over there." The captain of the Zhanbing Squadron said to the two men.
Zhang Sancha waved his hand and said, "No, you stay and continue to search. Just send someone to take us there."
The soldier squadron did not persist and sent a soldier next to him to lead the way for the two men.
