Morigen retracted his gaze, looked at the people around him, and said: "It's hard for others to say, but we have not interacted with the people of the Tiger Flag once or twice. When have you ever seen the cavalry of the Tiger Flag come out? The fort patrol doesn’t wear iron armor?”
His eyes glanced back and forth at the people around him.
"It seems that I have never seen it before." A Mongolian sentry rider said thoughtfully.
Another Mongolian sentry rider nearby spat out the hay in his mouth and said, "Even if there are two people without armor mixed in, it doesn't mean anything!"
"I don't think it's anything." The Mongolian sentry who spoke earlier said.
Morigen held the reins with one hand and said: "I suspect that the cavalry of the Tiger Flag came out of the Dunbao this time not to patrol around, but to have something else to do."
"It's not that serious!" the Mongolian sentry rider next to him said with a frown.
Morigen said: "Don't forget, the people from the Tiger Flag will attack us after this winter, but we don't know exactly when they will attack us. Now that winter is almost over, the people from the Tiger Flag may send troops at any time. Attack Qingcheng."
"With the reinforcements from the Yongxie Bu Tribe and the Ordos Tribe, if the people of the Tiger Flag dare to take action, the Great Khan and Taiji will definitely make it impossible for them to come back." The Mongolian sentry rider on the side said with a sneer.
Mo Rigen frowned and said: "When the Tiger Flag will be used by Tumote, it is a matter for the Great Khan and Taiji. Our task is to monitor the people of the Tiger Flag, so you guys, please I will go after the cavalry with the Tiger Flag just now to see what they are going to do."
"Perhaps the cavalry of the Tiger Flag are still patrolling around as usual. It might be a waste of time for us to just follow them." The Mongolian sentry cavalry next to them complained.
It was already a hard job to stay on the other side of the river every day and stare at the fort with the Tiger Flag. At this time, they also had to keep an eye on the armored cavalry with the Tiger Flag. Several Mongolian sentries complained.
"Stop talking nonsense, follow me closely and drive!" Mo Rigen knocked his heel on the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch suddenly jumped out.
Seeing that Mo Rigen had already gone after him, the other Mongolian sentry cavalry could only follow Mo Rigen to keep an eye on the cavalry with the Tiger Flag.
Although the armored cavalry of the Tiger-Character Banner had left for a while, for the Mongolian sentry cavalry such as Mo Rigen, who had been dealing with horses since childhood, they quickly determined the direction in which the Tiger-Character Banner cavalry left and chased them along the road.
More than a hundred horses led by Ma Yunjiu and Huang Hong were galloping on the grassland, making a lot of noise. The sound of horse hooves that sounded almost like thunder could be heard from a long distance away.
They galloped along the forts and fire roads built along the way.
With these forts and fire road piers in place, this armored cavalry does not need to prepare any dry food or tents. As long as they go to one of the piers or fire road piers before nightfall, they can get a good rest environment.
With more than a hundred cavalry, they are considered a large-scale cavalry team. They rarely choose to stay in the fire road pier for the night. They usually choose to spend the night in the nearest pier along the road.
The Huolu Dun is smaller in scale, and it is a little more difficult to accommodate hundreds of cavalry. Unlike the large piers, there is not only enough space to house so many cavalry, but also sufficient food, grass and war horses to replace them.
The Tiger Flag relies on the grassland and has no shortage of war horses. What it lacks most is cavalry with good equestrian skills.
Mongolians' equestrian skills are generally better.
Morigen led his troops and fell far behind the armored cavalry of the Tiger Banner. The two sides were far away, and the number of Mongolian sentry cavalry was not large. Along the way, the cavalry of the Tiger Banner did not notice Behind them came a team of Mongolian sentries and cavalry.
Both Ma Yunjiu and Huang Hong wanted to receive their master as soon as possible, so they inevitably relaxed their vigilance about the surrounding situation, giving Mo Rigen the opportunity to keep a close eye on them.
When it was getting dark, Ma Yunjiu and the armored cavalry team he brought came to the outside of a pier.
"We are from the armored cavalry battalion. I am Ma Yunjiu, the armored cavalry battalion. We need to stay at your place tonight and open the city gate." Ma Yunjiu rode to the gate of Dunbao City.
The fort in front of me is different from the one in Daheihe. Although the scale is also large, there is no moat due to the conditions.
"Ma Yingzheng, please take out the bronze medal that proves your identity and put it in the bamboo basket under the city wall." Someone shouted from the top of the city.
Ma Yunjiu raised his head and glanced at the top of the city. He saw many figures faintly moving above, and shouted, "Wait, I'll put the identity tag in right now."
An armored cavalry came up from behind, came to Ma Yunjiu, took the bronze medal, and then walked towards the bamboo basket under the city wall.
Soon, the bronze medal and the bamboo basket were hoisted into the city by the people on the top of the city.
Not long after, the sound of friction of iron ropes was heard from the direction of the city gate, and the city gate was opened little by little.
Several soldiers ran out of the city gate and moved the fence in front of the city gate.
Ma Yunjiu flicked the reins and drove his horse slowly toward the city gate.
The reason why we had to slow down the horses to prevent them from running was because they were worried that the galloping horses would easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings among the defenders inside the fort. Moreover, there was also a small urn in the fort, which could not allow the horses to use their speed at all.
Arriving at the city gate, Ma Yunjiu pulled the reins and controlled the horse to stop.
"Ma Yingzheng, this is your bronze medal." A soldier standing in the city gate handed over the bronze medal with both hands.
Ma Yunjiu took the bronze medal, put it into his arms, and said: "A squadron of our cavalry will stay here tonight, and we need you to prepare a resting place for us, as well as fodder for the horses."
"Please rest assured, Ma Yingzheng, my subordinates have arranged for people to prepare. It won't be long before the brothers in the armored cavalry battalion can have hot meals." The soldier said to Ma Yunjiu.
Ma Yunjiu nodded, urged the horse again, and began to enter the city.
Usually, there will be motorcades staying overnight in the fort, so there are barracks dedicated to reception in the fort.
As soon as Ma Yunjiu and others arrived, they were arranged in the barracks.
"Ma Yingzheng, Deputy Director Huang, our Yingzheng invites you two to meet in the office." A man who claimed to be a subordinate of the fort guard came over and invited them to meet the fort guard.
Ma Yunjiu smiled and said to Huang Hong: "This Pan Yi has made a deal with us. Let's go and see him."
The defender of this fort is Pan Yi, who used to be the third military battalion.
"It seems that this guy has been promoted and has a big reputation. He knew we were coming, but he didn't take the initiative to see us. Since he doesn't come, let's go see him." Huang Hong said with a smile, and stepped out. Go to the barracks.
The soldier who came to invite them walked in front to lead the way.
