Liu Heng finally agreed to Huang Hong's suggestion and followed the armored cavalry back to Daheihe Dunbao.
At dawn the next day, Ma Yunjiu and the armored cavalry squadron gathered in the open space inside the fort.
Liu Heng changed into a suit of armored cavalry armor.
"Sir, are you ready to go?" Huang Hong came to Liu Heng and said.
Liu Heng looked at the sun that had just risen in the east and said, "Wait a moment."
At this time, several armored cavalry rode over from a distance.
Soon these cavalrymen came to Liu Heng, Ma Yunjiu and others.
One of the leading cavalrymen dismounted, saluted first, and then said: "My subordinates were incompetent and allowed the Mongolian sentry cavalry outside the city to run away, but I left a group of people behind to continue pursuing them."
"Your small team of cavalry can't even deal with a few Mongolian sentries. How can you, the captain, still do it?" Ma Yunjiu said with an ugly face.
The captain of his armored cavalry battalion personally led the team out of the city, but failed to deal with several Mongolian sentries outside the city. This made him, the armored cavalry battalion, lose his face.
Especially in front of his own lord, he didn't show any respect to the armored cavalry battalion and made such a big mistake.
Liu Heng raised his hand to stop Ma Yunjiu from scolding the armored cavalry captain in front of him, and said: "If you run away, just run away. The Mongolians who can serve as sentinels are all elite warriors from various Mongolian ministries, and their number is small. If They are trying to escape, so it’s really hard to catch them.”
He didn't care whether the Mongolian sentry riders were caught, even if the news of his coming to the grassland was known to the fortune telling rabbit in Qingcheng, he didn't care.
Of course, it would be better if the Mongols didn't know the news about his coming to the grassland, which would give him the opportunity to catch Shitu off guard. If the Mongols knew the news about his coming to the grassland, it wouldn't matter.
With the current strength of the Tiger Banner, he is confident that he will eliminate the Mongolian tribes on the Tumut grassland in one fell swoop. Even if the Ordos tribe and the Yongxiebu tribe send soldiers to support the Tumut tribe, he does not care.
The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Character Banner were his strength. In this battle, he believed that the final winner would be him and the Tiger Character Banner.
"Since my lord has begged for mercy on your behalf, take your people back to the team!" Ma Yunjiu said with a cold face to Liu Chao, the captain of the cavalry team in front of him.
Liu Chao returned to the team with several cavalry around him.
Liu Heng said to Huang Hong: "Let's go!"
Except for a group of armored cavalry who took off their armor and stayed in the fort, the other armored cavalry left the fort one after another.
Liu Heng took his escort team and mixed it with the armored cavalry team.
A group of armored barracks remaining outside the Dunbao failed to pursue the Mongolian sentry cavalry. At this time, they returned to the armored cavalry team and marched towards the Dahei River with the team.
After Morigen led a few sentries to escape the pursuit of the Tiger Banner Cavalry, they made a circle and appeared again near the armored cavalry team that was returning to Daheihe Dunbao to conduct surveillance.
"Sir, the Mongolian sentries are coming again. Would you like me to send a team of cavalry to intercept them?" Ma Yunjiu said beside Liu Heng.
As soon as Morigen and others appeared, they were discovered by the armored cavalry sentries.
Liu Heng raised his monocular and glanced in the direction of the Mongolian sentry.
The surrounding grassland is unobstructed, and there are only some withered yellow tall grass on the ground that is barely above the ground level. Riding on horseback, you can easily see the situation several miles away.
"If you can catch up, deal with them. If you can't catch them, drive them away." Liu Heng put away the monocular.
Ma Yunjiu nodded and ran to the side to give orders.
Soon, a small group of cavalry was separated from the armored cavalry team and galloped towards the Mongolian sentries a few miles away.
After all, the grassland is the place that Mongolians are most familiar with. Mongolians have grown up on horses since childhood, and all of them are very good at equestrian skills.
The cavalry team sent by Ma Yunjiu chased for a while and saw the Mongolian sentries retreating further away, so they stopped chasing and only cruised around the armored cavalry to prevent the Mongolian sentries from approaching.
I recommend an app that looks like the old version of the book-chasing tool that has been resurrected. It can be used to change the source of all books!
"Mo Rigen, why are we following them? I think it's better to go back earlier!" A Mongolian sentry rider said to a Mongolian man with pigtails next to him.
Morigen squinted at the cavalry between them and the Tiger Flag brigade, and said, "I just want to find out what these Tiger Flag cavalry are doing?"
"No matter what they are doing, as long as they don't make any big movements, we can just keep a close eye on them from a distance. In my opinion, there is no need for us to follow them like this." said the Mongolian sentry rider on the side.
Morigen licked his chapped lips with the tip of his tongue and said: "The cavalry of the Tiger Banner in Daheihe have never been to other places. This time they went to another fort and spent the night there. There must be something going on, but I can’t think of what it is at the moment.”
"Mo Rigen, you are so worried. Aren't some cavalry going from this pier to that pier? Anyway, they are all piers with the Tiger Flag. What can happen?" The Mongolian sentry rider next to him said disapprovingly.
Morigen glanced at his companions and said, "The people from the Tiger Flag may send troops to us at any time. It's not wrong to be careful at this time."
"The earth has not yet been civilized. How could the people of the Tiger Flag send troops at this time? You must be overthinking." said the Mongolian sentry rider next to him.
Morigen picked up the water bag at his waist, pulled out the stopper, put it to his mouth and drank a sip of water. Then he wiped the water stains on his mouth and said, "There must be something going on with the tiger-shaped flag cavalry's dispatch this time. It would be nice if I could get closer, but it’s such a shame.”
After drinking the water, he hung the water bag around his waist again.
"I heard that the Tiger Flag has something called a telescope. As long as you put it in front of your eyes, you can clearly see things far away. If we have that thing, we can still see things even if we are not close to the Tiger Flag team. Be aware of the people in the team." The Mongolian sentry rider beside him said.
Morigen nodded and said, "I've heard of that thing too. It would be convenient if we could have one sentinel rider like us to monitor the people carrying the Tiger Flag."
"After you go back this time, Morigen, you can try to fight with Taiji and find a way to get a telescope." said the Mongolian sentry rider next to him.
After hearing this, Mo Rigen shook his head and said: "I mentioned it to Taiji before. Taiji said that the telescope was made by Tiger Character Flag himself. Except for the people of Tiger Character Flag, everyone else in the Ming Dynasty No, we Mongolians simply can’t get it.”
As an elite sentry rider among the Mongols, he knew the benefits of the telescope ever since he heard about it.
It's a pity that the Han craftsmen on the Mongolian grasslands do not know how to create such delicate objects as telescopes.
