"This is a good thing. We came from Mobei just to deal with the Tiger Character Banner. When does Seraktan Taiji send out troops, just ask, we Mobei warriors can be the vanguard of the army." Tuxie Tuhan Gunbu said.
After hearing this, Kankantada smiled and said: "With Taiji's words, I feel relieved. However, both Taiji have just arrived here. They might as well rest for a few more days. These two days are temporary." We won’t send troops yet.”
"Okay, then we will wait for news from Taiji." Tuxie Tuhan Gonbu said.
Kankantada nodded, stood up immediately, and said: "I won't disturb the two Taijis. I have something to do with my tribe, so I will go back first."
"I'll see off Lao Taiji." Tuxie Tuhan Gunbu stood up to see him off.
Bilegon of the Chechen Khan tribe also stood up and saw Kankantada off together.
After sending the people away, Bilegon said to Gunbu: "Taiji really intends to be the vanguard of attacking the Tiger Flag?"
"Don't worry, Sheraktan Taiji will not let our warriors from Mobei be the vanguard of the army." Gunbu said lightly as he looked in the direction of Kankantada's retreat.
Bilegon pursed his lips and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Tumut's warriors have been defeated by the Tiger Flag several times in succession, and their morale is low. Maybe they want us Mobei warriors to be the vanguard."
"Before coming here, your Shuoleitaiji should have told you something, right?" Gunbu turned around and asked suddenly.
Bilegon nodded and said, "That's right. Before we came, our Great Khan told me to take good care of the warriors of the tribe. It's best to return with a full load."
"Shuoleitaiji has a good idea." Gunbu smiled lightly and said immediately, "Don't worry, we came from Mobei, not to work for Tumote. I will not really let us in Mobei The brave warriors serve as the vanguard of the army."
Bilegon hesitated for a moment and said: "I believe Taiji's words. If Seraktan Taiji proposes that our warriors from the Chechen Khan tribe be the vanguard of the army, I would rather take them back to Mobei than agree to it." .”
As the vanguard of the army, it means that the casualties will be the highest. The soldiers of the Chechen Khan tribe came to Tumut to gain benefits from the Tiger Flag, not to really work for Tumut.
"Okay." Gunbu nodded towards Bilegon.
………………
A few miles away from the Mongolian army's yurt, Chen Xunping had been guarding a simple wooden camp.
"Yingzheng, we just received news from Zhang Yingzheng that the fort has been almost built and is now being roasted by fire. In three days at most, we can abandon this place and retreat to the fort to meet up with Zhang Yingzheng and the others." Qin Rong, the staff officer of the First Soldier Battalion, came to the edge of the village wall.
Chen Xunping was lying on the wall of the village, observing the movements of the Mongolians in the distance through the monocular telescope in his hand. When he heard Qin Rong's words, he said: "Three days is not long, but I am afraid that the Mongols will not give us This time.”
"Is the battalion worried about the Mongolian reinforcements that just arrived?" Qin Rong asked tentatively.
As soon as the reinforcements from Mobei arrived, they were discovered by the cavalry sent by the Tiger Flag and the news was sent back to the camp.
Chen Xunping nodded and said: "Originally, I thought that in the previous battle, Bu Shitu should have understood that he was not our opponent. Unexpectedly, he found a reinforcement of five to six thousand people from other places. I don't know if there are more. Other Mongol reinforcements arrive."
"It should be gone. Didn't you and Zhang Yingzheng discuss it at that time? Even if Bu Shitu could borrow reinforcements, they could only go to Mobei. It was impossible for other tribes to send troops to Tumote." Qin Rong wrinkled said with a frown. Little bookstore
Chen Xunping said: "If you think about it more, if there are reinforcements to support Tumut, Bu Shitu will not take action until the reinforcements arrive. But if there are only the reinforcements that arrived yesterday, I am afraid they will attack us right away." Take action."
"What Yingzheng means is that we can't go back to Dunbao to meet Zhang Yingzheng and the others for the time being?" Qin Rong asked thoughtfully.
Chen Xunping put down the monocular telescope in his hand, turned around and said, "Then it depends on what Bu Shitu thinks, whether they want to wait a few more days to take action, or whether to take action against us right away."
"It's best to wait a few more days. By then our troops will be united and we will have a fortress to rely on. No matter how many Mongolians there are, they can't do anything to us." Qin Rong said with a smile.
Chen Xunping smiled and said, "It's just like you said, so we can relax."
"Yingzheng, look outside. Captain Tan's armored cavalry is fighting with the Mongolian sentries again." Qin Rong suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the grassland in the distance.
On the grass in the distance, two cavalrymen belonging to different groups were fighting each other.
Chen Xunping picked up the monocular, looked in the direction of the fight, and said: "This time the Mongolian side has two more ten-man teams, no wonder they dare to take action again."
Although there was no major battle between the two sides during this period, their respective cavalry would fight on the grassland from time to time.
"No, the Mongols seem to have sent another cavalry, coming from a distance." Qin Rong's face suddenly turned sideways, showing a nervous expression.
Chen Xunping moved the monocular telescope in his hand. Through it, he saw a Mongolian cavalry of more than a hundred people emerging from the side of the Tiger-character Banner armored cavalry.
"Damn it, these Mongols are becoming more and more insidious. They actually ambush a hundred-man team on the left side." Chen Xunping said bitterly.
He seemed to be very open-minded about the sudden addition of a hundred-man team to the Mongolian side.
Qin Rong said eagerly: "Ying Zheng, it's better to send someone to support Captain Tan and his companions. Captain Tan and his companions are outnumbered by twice as many as the Mongols. It's such a disadvantage."
"No need." Chen Xunping waved his hand and said immediately, "You have seen with your own eyes how powerful the armored cavalry are. They are twice as many enemies. I believe Tan Zaiwang can handle them."
Qin Rong still said uneasily: "The Mongolian sentry cavalry are all elite warriors among the Mongols. It is better to send another team of cavalry from the camp to respond."
"You and I both know the strength of the Mongolian cavalry. If our armored cavalry can't even defeat these people, we should disband the cavalry battalion as soon as possible. The money needed to support one cavalry is enough to support several soldiers." Chen Xunping said, " You have to have confidence in our cavalry, I believe they will be fine and can handle the situation at hand."
When Qin Rong saw that Chen Xunping was determined not to send anyone to rescue him, he knew there was nothing he could do to persuade him, so he simply stopped talking, but there was a worried look in his eyes.
On the grassland, Tan Zaiwang led a group of armored cavalry to fight with the Mongolian sentries.
"Captain, another Mongolian cavalry is coming up from the left." An armored cavalryman following Tan Zaiwang reminded.
Tan Zaiwang glanced to the left, and then shouted: "Brothers, retreat to the right."
After giving the order, he turned the horse's head and galloped towards the right direction.
He took the lead and walked to the right, and the other armored cavalry also followed.
