Ni Zhen led a Niulu Baijia and more than a thousand armored cavalry led by Mangus to leave the Horqin Grassland. Naturally, such a big movement could not be hidden from the surrounding tribes.
However, due to the deliberate concealment of Hutuktu Khan in Baicheng, the news did not spread widely. It was only circulated among some Mongolian tribes. The Tiger Flag convoy that was heading to the Fifth Khalkha did not know about it at all.
As the majority of the five Khalkha tribes, they naturally knew that Oba from the Horqin tribe had joined forces with the Jin people to send troops and horses to deal with the tiger-character flag's convoy.
But he didn’t intend to take care of the fried flowers of Khalkha Five.
He didn't care whether the Tiger Flag convoy would be robbed, and the relationship between the 5th Khalkha Division and the Tiger Flag was not good enough to inform the Tiger Flag.
However, the news that the Jinren and Horqin tribes sent troops to attack the Tiger Flag convoy could not be concealed forever, and it was still known to the Tiger Flag's secret spies on the grassland.
As soon as the secret agents of the Tiger Character Banner learned the news, they immediately arranged for a fast horse to deliver the letter.
Unfortunately, the news was known too late. Ni Zhen and other white armor and Horqin's armor riders all rode on horseback, and they were no slower than the secret agents of the Tiger Flag who went to deliver the message.
In order to find the tiger-character flag convoy quickly, Ni Zhen even separated from the procrastinating Horqin's armored cavalry, and took an awesome white armor to go to the direction of the tiger-character flag convoy.
The soldiers Pan Yi brought were all infantry, with only a small number of cavalry sentries, and the four-wheeled carts were loaded with goods. They did not move very fast, and they often stopped for a day or two because they passed by a small tribe.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The sentries scattered around the convoy came back from the front, and the cavalry on horseback shouted loudly while urging their horses to gallop from the front of the convoy to the back of the convoy.
The sentinel horse stopped in front of Pan Yi and said: "Captain, I saw a cavalry of about three hundred people in the distance, everyone wearing armor, approaching in the direction of the convoy."
"Explore further and find out which tribe they belong to." Pan Yi said to the sentry rider.
The sentry rider turned his horse's head and rode away.
"Sign the signal and notify the convoy to be on alert." Pan Yi turned around and ordered the messenger next to him.
The messenger jumped onto the four-wheeled cart next to him, pulled out the two flags from his waist, raised them high into the air, and waved them toward the distance of the convoy.
The convoy is too long, and it is difficult for people in the distance to hear clearly by speaking by mouth. Flag language is very good at conveying some simple commands.
After the semaphore was played, the four-wheeled cart at the front stopped.
The four-wheeled carts in the middle and behind began to approach the front four-wheeled cart. Finally, many four-wheeled carts were connected end to end and surrounded.
Four-pounders were pushed to the front.
The soldiers holding fire guns and the gunners operating the squatting tiger cannon also all entered their positions.
More and more tiger-shaped flag sentries returned to the convoy from a distance.
"Open a gap and let our sentries in." Pan Yi said to the soldiers guarding behind a four-wheeled cart.
Soon, a four-wheeled cart opened an aisle for the returning sentries.
When all the sentry riders retreated behind the four-wheeled cart, the gap that was opened was blocked again.
The returning captain of the sentry cavalry dismounted, ran all the way to Pan Yi, and said eagerly: "Captain Pan, the people here are slave thieves, about two to three hundred people."
"The slaves and thieves are all jealous. What do those guys from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau do for food? Why don't they get any news at all?" Pan Yi couldn't help but cursed.
The captain of the Sentinel Cavalry said: "Now is not the time to blame the Foreign Intelligence Agency. The top priority is how to deal with this slave bandit."
"How can I deal with it? Beat his mother hard." Pan Yi spat on the ground.
Tiger Character Flag has always won consecutive battles on the court. As a member of Tiger Character Flag, he has never been afraid of anyone in a battle.
The captain of the sentry cavalry said with a worried expression: "Slave thieves are different from the Mongols. The Mongols have long been rotten to the core. There are not many brave men left, but the slave thieves are different. I heard that there is a rumor about the Jin people in Liaodong. I am dissatisfied with the statement that I am completely invincible.”
"Are you afraid?" Pan Yi glanced sideways at the captain of the sentry cavalry in front of him.
The captain of the sentry cavalry said angrily: "Fart, I will be afraid of those savages who came out of the woods. I am worried that we will suffer a loss due to our carelessness."
"Just don't be afraid." Pan Yi said, "That bullshit about being invincible is all what they brag about. Only the trash in the Ming army believe it. If the slave thieves really had this ability, they would have broken through Shanhaiguan and marched straight in."
The captain of the Sentinel Cavalry said: "How are we going to fight soon? Do you want our Sentinel Cavalry to go out to fight?"
"Just leave the work to me. I have always heard how powerful slave thieves are. This time I will meet them and try their skills." Pan Yi smiled coldly.
Ever since the Tiger-Character Banner defeated the Tumut tribe on the grassland, no force on the grassland dared to attack the Tiger-Character Flag convoy. Now that someone has come to stroke the tiger's beard, he doesn't mind giving these slave thieves a profound lesson.
"Here we come." The captain of the Sentinel Cavalry said while looking into the distance.
Pan Yi turned his head and looked over, and saw a lot of black shadows in the distance, and then raised the monocular in front of his eyes.
"You're really a fucking slave thief." Pan Yi cursed.
At the other end of the monocular, the iconic money rat tail on the scalp of the slave thief can be clearly seen.
The slave thieves were getting closer and closer to the convoy.
"Tell the artillery team to put some slave thieves in and start firing." Pan Yi explained.
The messenger ran to give the order to the artillery team.
Nizhen also saw the convoy of tiger-character flags with a Niulu white armor.
"Uh-huh, it seems the people in the Tiger Flag have been prepared." A white-armored man said to Ni Zhen.
Nizhen sneered and said: "What can you do if you are prepared? If a group of cowardly Nikans rush over, they will just throw away their armor and run for their lives."
In Liaodong, he had killed too many Ming troops and could not fight countless small battles. He did not pay attention to the guards of business houses such as Tiger Flag.
"These Nikans have no other abilities, but they have brought a lot of things. As long as we kill all these Nikans and bring back these carts and their contents, the master will be very happy." Bai Jia looked at him. There were four-wheeled carts in front of them, and I licked my lips subconsciously.
Nizhen said: "We can't kill all these Nikans, and we have to leave some of them to drive our cars. Otherwise, we won't be able to get back these big cars."
"Yes, yes, yes, leave some Nikan for us to drive the car." The white armor next to him grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.
In their hearts, no one took the tiger-character flag escorting the convoy seriously. They only thought that if they Jin people took action, they could easily get the goods brought by the tiger-character flag convoy.
"Dismount and attack." Ni Zhen jumped off the horse first.
All the white armors dismounted.
Their specialty is fighting on foot, and riding horses is only used for transportation.
