On the wall of Daheihe Dunbao, Zhang Hong used a monocular to look at the figures on several slopes in the distance.
"These Mongolians are really brave. After killing them several times, they still dare to send people here. I will arrange for people to kill them right now." Ma Yunjiu, standing next to Zhang Hong, said.
He also held a telescope in his hand.
Zhang Hong shook his head and said: "It's useless. By the time your people get out of the fort, they will have already fled far away on horseback. It will be difficult to catch up with them."
"A toad falls off its feet. If it doesn't bite, it will bite people." Ma Yunjiu said angrily. At the same time, he also knew that Zhang Hong was telling the truth. As soon as his armored cavalry left the fort, the Mongolian sentries outside would escape on horseback. .
Mongolians grew up on horses since childhood, and the horses they rode were all carefully selected horses. If they wanted to escape, it would be difficult for the armored cavalry in their hands to catch up.
"Have you found out which tribe the yurts opposite belong to?" Zhang Hong asked Ma Yunjiu.
Ma Yunjiu said: "They are just two small tribes. There are about seven or eight hundred armored knights. The leader is a Mongolian Taiji named Zola Kashen."
"Bu Shitu really thinks highly of us and got two tribes to stare at us." Zhang Hong snorted in his nasal voice.
Ma Yunjiu said disapprovingly: "For such a small number of people to want to keep an eye on us, they look down on us. The cavalry brigade in my hand has hundreds of cavalry. As long as the deputy director agrees, I can lead this cavalry brigade right away." Scatter the Mongols in the ger."
"It's not necessary." Zhang Hong waved his hand and said, "Even if we beat away the Mongols in the yurt, Bu Shitu can still send two more small tribes over. We don't have many cavalry, so there is no need to waste them here. "
Ma Yunjiu moved the monocular telescope in front of him and said, "I don't know what the battle situation is like at Chen Yingzheng's side. Is it possible to stop the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses brought by Bu Shitu?"
"I'm as worried about the situation over there as you are." Zhang Hong put down the monocular telescope in his hand and said, "Bu Shitu can be said to be desperate this time. Even with the support of the 7th Soldier Battalion brought by Sancha, Chen Yingzheng is The pressure must be quite high.”
Since there were many yurts on the grasslands outside, Daheihe Dunbao has been cut off from the outside world.
"Look to the northwest, there seems to be a large group of cavalry." Ma Yunjiu suddenly pointed to the northwest of the Dunbao.
Zhang Hong raised the monocular telescope in front of his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by Ma Yunjiu.
Through the monocular, he saw a cavalry team of thousands of people galloping towards the Dunbao.
"Could it be that Bu Shitu led the army back to see?" Ma Yunjiu said with an ugly expression.
This grassland belongs to Tumut, and Qingcheng and several Bansheng places are not far from the Dahei River. When large groups of cavalry appeared on this grassland, his first reaction was that the Mongolian army led by Bu Shitu returned in triumph.
Zhang Hong said solemnly: "It's also possible that Shitu was defeated and escaped."
"You are right, Shitu must have lost the battle, and the cavalry in front of him should have escaped." Ma Yunjiu encouraged himself.
It's a pity that he doesn't believe this himself.
A large group of Mongolian cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance, scattered but not chaotic, with clear flags. They did not look like they were defeated at all.
"No need to guess, this cavalry is from Mobei. You can observe their flags to see if they are the flags of the Mobei tribe." At some point, Huang Hong came behind the two men.
Ma Yunjiu and Zhang Hong stared at the flag of the approaching Mongolian cavalry.
It's a pity that the two of them didn't know much about the banners of the Mongolian tribes in Mobei, and they couldn't figure out which tribe's cavalry they were after looking at them for a long time. One hundred percent
However, the two people believed Huang Hong's words.
They knew that Huang Hong often dealt with various grassland tribes, collected information from various grassland tribes, and knew the banners of most Mongolian tribes.
"Unexpectedly, even the Mongols from Mobei are here. It seems that the war is not going well in Bu Shitu, so they borrowed reinforcements from Mobei." Huang Hong said, looking at the large group of cavalry in the distance.
Zhang Hong nodded, agreed with Huang Hong's statement, and said at the same time: "If the Mongolian army in front of us really comes from Mobei, it means that the current situation is very good for our Tiger Banner. Chen Yingzheng and the others must have won the battle. They are so forced." Shitu had to borrow troops."
As a senior officer of the Tiger Flag, it was not difficult to guess the situation on Chen Xunping's side through the reinforcements from Mobei.
"The cavalry in front of us is about a thousand people at most. Mobei only sent so few reinforcements, so I'm afraid they won't be of much use." Ma Yunjiu said, staring at the Mongolian cavalry in the distance.
Zhang Hong said: "If there are really reinforcements from Mobei, they won't just come here. The thousands of cavalry in front of us are probably just the vanguard, and there will be a large group of Mongolian cavalry behind them."
"You said they are not going to support Bu Shitu's tens of thousands of troops, so what are they doing here?" Ma Yunjiu frowned.
The Mongolian cavalry army coming from the northwest is obviously coming here for Daheihe Dunbao. If you want to go to other places, you don't need to go here at all.
Huang Hong, who was behind the two men, raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically: "Maybe he wants to use us to establish his power and declare the power of their Mobei tribe."
"They are out of their minds if they want to use us to establish their authority." Ma Yunjiu said with a cold look on his face.
Huang Hong said to Zhang Hong: "Zhang Yingzheng, prepare for war."
The Mongolian cavalry in the northwest is getting closer and closer, with no intention of changing direction.
Zhang Hong called his messenger and ordered: "Go down and have the artillery and gun teams ready. Once the Mongols approach, attack is allowed. No need to ask for instructions again."
The messenger ran to deliver the order.
"Look, you two, there are Mongolians rushing towards the yurt." Ma Yunjiu said, holding a monocular in his hand.
Zhang Hong picked up the monocular and looked over again.
Through the monocular, he saw a dozen cavalry in the direction of the yurt heading toward the Mongolian cavalry brigade heading northwest.
When the dozen or so cavalrymen who came out of the yurt met up with the large group of Mongolian cavalry in the distance, the large group of Mongolian cavalry with thousands of people stopped.
"I am Zolakashen, please come out for a moment." Zolakashen stopped the large group of Mongolian cavalry in front of him.
The large group of cavalry on the opposite side separated a road, and a few rode out from it.
One of the riders said to Julakashen in front of him: "I am the captain here, why do you want to block the way?"
Those who are qualified to be captains of thousands on the grasslands must be nobles on the grasslands. Mongolians who are ordinary herdsmen, no matter how capable they are, are already at the top of captains of ten and centurions.
Zhula Kashen did not dare to show off in front of the other party, and said politely: "May I ask where you are going? Are you going to attack the fort in front of you?"
As he said that, he turned sideways and pointed at the castle in the distance.
"That's right, I followed Tuxietu Khan's order to attack the fortress of the Tiger Flag in Dahei River." The captain admitted frankly.
