Woo! Woo! Woo!
The horn sounded on the grassland, making a long sound.
The sky over the grassland looks higher, with countless cotton-like clouds floating in the blue sky, constantly changing shapes with the wind.
Many Mongolians came out of countless yurts, carrying weapons and riding their own horses.
More and more people are gathering in the direction where the army is gathering.
Several fast horses galloped towards Qingcheng.
"Report!"
Far away, I heard the loud shouts of the riders on horseback.
The deer camp outside the Tiger Flag army camp was hurriedly moved away by the soldiers guarding the side, revealing a wide passage as wide as two or three people standing side by side, allowing the approaching riders to enter the camp.
The riders who entered the camp rode all the way to Chen Xunping's tent, then reined in the reins, turned over and jumped off the horse.
"Quick, there's an emergency. I want to see Master Chen." The rider said eagerly to the soldiers guarding outside the tent.
"Come in with me." A soldier outside the tent led the rider into the tent.
In the big tent, Chen Xunping, Qin Rong and others were all there.
"Report to Commander Chen, the Mongols are gathering an army." As soon as the rider came in, he hurriedly said to Chen Xunping and others.
Chen Xunping slapped his hand on the wooden table and said, "Well done. I've been waiting for them for so long, and now it's time to take action. Send an order to the soldiers, and order each battalion to prepare to meet the enemy."
"Yes." The messenger in the tent agreed, turned around and ran outside the tent.
The battalions stationed in the camp had long been prepared for the war. When the news from the messengers arrived, the soldiers and horses of each battalion quickly gathered and appeared at their respective combat posts.
The Tiger-Character Banner army set up two camps outside Qingcheng, and they were at odds with each other.
The straw mats on the cannons were lifted one after another, and the gunners began to arrange the cannons. Baskets of iron balls and fixed gunpowder were transported.
On the wall of the village, teams of musketeers were lying on it, and on the lower level, there were also many holes, with musket mouths poking out one after another.
There was more than one rider coming back to deliver the message. Both camps had messages sent by the riders to the Mongolian army, and Qingcheng also received messages brought back by the riders.
When he received the news, Liu Heng was working in the office.
"Zhao Wu, bring someone with you and follow me up the city wall." Liu Heng said to his guard captain Zhao Wu, then he walked aside and started to put on his armor.
Although he has been sitting at the rear for the past few years, he is not a weak scholar with no strength, but a person who has actually been killed on the battlefield.
He put on cotton armor on his upper body and a long-brimmed cap on his head. He put the gun on his waist, picked up the rifle he usually used, packed up the fixed gunpowder, and hung it on his body.
Putting on his uniform, Liu Heng walked towards the outside of the office.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw Li Shuheng, who had also put on his armor, walking towards him.
"My lord." Li Shuheng bowed first and then said, "My lord, please stay in the city. Please leave the defense of the city to your subordinates."
Liu Heng held the rifle in one hand, waved it with the other hand, and said: "The Mongolian army is here for a decisive battle this time. As the proprietor of the Tiger Flag, I should go to the city wall to defend the city. There is no need to persuade."
"Sir, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Please stay in the city." Li Shuheng asked Liu Heng to stay again.
Liu Heng refused: "No need to persuade me, I have already made up my mind."
After saying that, before Li Shuheng could speak again, he walked out of the courtyard.
When he came to the courtyard gate, someone had already prepared the war horse.
Liu Heng took Zhao Wu and others on their horses and rode towards the city gate.
Seeing that he could not persuade Liu Heng, Li Shuheng led people to guard the surroundings, and together they went to the city wall in the direction of Qingcheng city gate.
After climbing the city wall, Liu Heng held a monocular in his hand and looked into the distance.
However, the Mongolian army had not yet arrived at this time, and only some Mongolian sentry cavalry could be seen nearby fighting with the armored cavalry of the Tiger Flag.
Even though the number of people was about the same, the Mongolian sentry cavalry were defeated by the armored cavalry, and the bodies were thrown under the horses one after another.
Compared with the fighting in the previous days, there were more Mongolian sentry cavalry this time, and there were also a lot of armored cavalry on the side of the Tiger Flag.
The smell of war filled the sky over Qingcheng.
On the city wall of Qingcheng, four-pound cannons and six-pound cannons were placed at the crenels. The gunners guarded their cannons. Mongol army.
There is only the third combat division left in the city, and this third combat division is only a combat division in name. In fact, it only has one combat battalion of soldiers and horses.
"This is the final decisive battle between us and the Tumote tribe. After the battle, we will decide who is the master of this grassland." Liu Heng looked at the grassland in front of him calmly.
The number of soldiers and horses under Bu Shitu's men are all warriors from those tribes. The Tiger Character Banner side has long known that they are almost inseparable, so Liu Heng knew that this time it was the last strength of the Tumote tribe.
After this battle, the Tumote Department will not have the strength to fight another such battle with the Tiger Flag.
"Sir, the Mongols are coming." Li Shuheng said suddenly.
Liu Heng put the monocular in his hand in front of his eyes, looked at the dust in the distance, and said with envy: "If we had so many cavalry, not to mention a single Tumote, we could capture the entire grassland with the Tiger Flag."
"After taking down the Tumote Division, we will no longer be short of cavalry in the future." Li Shuheng said from the side. "Now there are some Han people living on the grasslands who want to join our Tiger Banner, but we still have to fight with the Bull Shitu During the war, we have no energy to take care of them for the time being, so we only sent a few armored cavalry to temporarily teach them some military regulations."
Liu Heng turned his head, looked at Li Shuheng and said, "Are there many Han people who want to join us?"
"Not too many. Only those Han people who were once slaves of Mongolian Taiji are willing to join us, but only a part of them. More people are still waiting and watching." Li Shuheng explained.
Please help, you can steal book stamps like food. Come and steal your friends' book stamps to vote for my books.
Liu Heng said: "It's similar to what I thought. Although we captured Qingcheng, in the eyes of many people, we are not sure that our Tiger Flag can hold it, so these people are waiting for our final battle."
"Yes, as long as we agree to this battle, I believe more Han people will join in. By then, there will be enough cavalry." Li Shuheng said with a sigh.
Training a cavalry is very troublesome, and the most indispensable thing on the grassland is cavalry.
Not counting the Mongolians who have lived on the grasslands for generations, they are the second or third generation Han people who have been coming to the grasslands for many years, or who have lived on the grasslands.
Like the Mongols, these people grew up on horses. Their riding skills are no worse than those of the Mongols. They can be said to be the best cavalry.
