The Tiger Banner army has surrounded Bansheng City, and the armored cavalry battalion is also not idle. A large group of cavalry has been separated and appears near Qingcheng.
"Captain, why don't we go after Bu Shitu? He left Qingcheng not long ago and we should be able to catch him." The cavalryman on the side suggested.
Tan Zaiwang showed a trace of hesitation.
The cavalry continued: "The siege of the city is out of our cavalry's turn. Our armored cavalry battalion is only used as an ordinary sentinel. This time Bushitu left Qingcheng, as long as we caught Bushitu, our cavalry's contribution is not as great as The division of soldiers who conquered the city was small.”
Tan Zaiwang was a little moved.
Since tens of thousands of troops crossed the river with the Tiger Flag, their armored cavalry battalion has never had a chance to be used. The soldiers who made meritorious service along the way are all soldiers, and their cavalry can only be used as sentinels, scattered around to inquire for information. It is difficult to have the opportunity to obtain more information. A great achievement.
If you want to be promoted within the Tiger Banner, you must get credit, otherwise you will have to stay in one position for a long time before you have the opportunity to be promoted. But once this opportunity is faced with competition from people with the same merit, the Military and Political Department will only let Li stand. Those who have merit will be promoted first, and those who have no merit can only continue to wait for the next promotion opportunity. If the situation is still the same next time, then they can only continue to wait until there are no meritorious people to compete for the position, or until He also made meritorious deeds.
For him and the armored cavalry battalion around him, as long as he caught the Bu Shitu who escaped from Qingcheng, this achievement would be as good as the capture of Qingcheng.
"Captain, you can't hesitate any longer. The brothers are all waiting to take advantage of the Stone Rabbit to perform meritorious deeds!" the cavalryman advised.
Tan Zaiwang pursed his lips, and finally said: "Bu Shitu has been gone for a while, and there is no trace of him. Can we be sure to find him?"
The news that Bu Shitu left Qingcheng was learned from the Mongolians who escaped from Qingcheng captured by the armored cavalry.
"Captain, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to Captain Tu, and we will definitely be able to find the fortune teller." The cavalryman said with confidence.
Tan Zaiwang knew Tu Sha.
Before the opponent was incorporated by the Tiger Flag, he was a horse bandit on the grassland. He could trace the caravan that had left not long ago based on some traces left by the passing caravan.
"Get Tu Sha here." Tan Zaiwang said.
"Yes." The cavalryman hurriedly went to find Tu Sha.
Not long after, Tu Sha rode up to him and said, "Captain, are you looking for me?"
Tan Zaiwang took the reins in his hand and said straight to the point: "Now I ask you to lead people to chase the Stone Rabbit. Are you sure you can find the Stone Rabbit?"
"Captain, don't worry, as long as Bu Shitu leaves Qingcheng within two days, his subordinates will be able to find him." Tu Sha said, patting his chest.
Tracking the caravans through the traces left by the passing caravans on the grassland is a unique skill of horse bandits like them. The same applies to the fortune-telling rabbit.
Seeing that Tu Sha was very confident, Tan Zaiwang said: "I will give you a task. You will lead people to track down the traces left by the fortune teller rabbit and find the fortune teller rabbit."
"Captain, don't worry? My subordinates will definitely find the fortune teller." Tu Sha straightened his back and his eyes were full of excitement.
When he was a horse bandit in the past? Not to mention the Tumed Khans like Bu Shitu, even the Taijis of a certain Tumed tribe, horse bandits like them couldn't afford to offend them, and they would go around when they saw them from a distance? Now there is actually a chance to capture the fortune telling rabbit? This is something that I never dared to think about when I was a horse bandit.
"Let's go!" Tan Zaiwang waved his hand.
Tu Sha led his small group of cavalry and walked in front of the large group of cavalry.
Every time he walked for a while, Tu Sha would dismount his horse and look at the ground, then determine a direction and continue leading the team forward.
After walking for more than 20 miles, Tu Sha returned to Tan Zaiwang and said: "Captain, my subordinates found the marks of the wheel. It should be the cart used by Divination Rabbit to carry goods. According to the depth of the ruts left on the ground, , and those crushed hay, the Stone-divining Rabbit should be not far ahead."
"Are you sure?" Tan Zaiwang asked.
Tu Sha nodded solemnly and said: "This rut came all the way from Qingcheng, and the number of people on the other side is at least four to five hundred. With so many people and big carts, except for the fortune-telling rabbit, I can't think of anyone else." who is it."
Tan Zaiwang raised his head and looked ahead, then said immediately: "Going in this direction, you should be heading towards the Ulut tribe!"
"Yes, this direction leads to the Ulut tribe. However, it will take at least three days to reach the Ulut tribe. If there is a big car dragging us down, the time will be at least twice as long." Sha said.
Tan Zaiwang said: "Give me the order, everyone should dismount and rest for a quarter of an hour."
There were hundreds of cavalry in a brigade of the armored cavalry battalion. At this time, everyone got off their horses and began to take care of their horses.
After finding the fortune telling rabbit, the next step will be a battle belonging to their armored cavalry.
No one thought that Shitu would surrender. Fighting was inevitable. What he had to do now was to replenish his strength and prepare for the next battle.
A quarter of an hour later.
Hundreds of armored cavalry mounted their horses one after another, each placing their muskets and sabers where they were most comfortable.
"Let's go." Tan Zaiwang waved his hand.
Tu Sha's team was still leading the way, but this time Tu Sha didn't dismount his horse to check the traces on the ground. Instead, he determined a direction and galloped his horse.
Hundreds of cavalrymen galloped on the grassland, and the ground rumbled, and the sound spread far away.
The war horses galloped for seven or eight miles on the grassland. Tan Zaiwang and all the cavalry in the armored cavalry brigade slowed down their horses and began to accumulate strength for the next charge.
Not far in front of them, they could clearly see a group of Mongolian cavalry and large vehicles traveling on the grassland.
The appearance of Tan Zaiwang and the armored cavalry brigade was also discovered by the Mongols in front.
"The Great Khan is the armored cavalry of the Tiger Flag." Zhamuhe rode up to Bu Shitu.
Although Bu Shitu and his people left Qingcheng very early, they did not travel very fast along the way because of these large carts pulling his belongings in Qingcheng.
"The Tiger Character Flag is not besieging Bansheng City, why are we chasing him so quickly?" Bu Shitu's face became ugly, and he was still a little panicked.
Zhamuhe said: "Great Khan, now we are not studying why the armored cavalry of the Tiger Flag are chasing us. These are no longer important. I would like to ask the Great Khan to take your people to the Ulut tribe immediately."
"This Khan is gone, but what to do with these things?" Bu Shitu looked at the carts full of property next to him.
Zhamuhe said: "Great Khan, you go first, and my subordinates will arrange for people to drive over with these carts."
"Okay then!" Bu Shitu reluctantly glanced at the belongings he had accumulated over the years.
However, compared with these things, he cares more about his own life.
