"It turns out he's not a slave thief." Pan Yi had a somewhat disappointed look on his face.
When he was in Tumut, he fought with the Mongols more than once, so he hoped to fight against the slave thieves.
Cheng Ping on the side said: "No matter whether they are slave thieves or not, we cannot let down our guard. The thousands of Mongolian cavalry are several times more than the previous slave thieves."
"Tell your captain that the Mongolian cavalry is ten miles away from the convoy and you are allowed to retreat." Pan Yi said to the sentry cavalry who came to deliver the message.
The convoy guards were mainly infantry, and only brought a small group of cavalry, with a total of only more than thirty cavalry.
Such a small number of cavalry, no matter how powerful they are, cannot be an opponent of thousands of Mongolian armored cavalry, and it is impossible for him to risk his own small group of cavalry.
"Yes." The sentry rider agreed, then rode away.
Pan Yi climbed onto the roof of the four-wheeled cart with a monocular.
Naturally, places dozens of miles away cannot be seen through a monocular telescope. However, this area is all flat grass. Standing on the roof of the car, he can immediately see the approaching Mongolian armored cavalry through the monocular telescope.
None of the soldiers on the Tiger Flag side had taken off their armor. Everyone still held firecrackers in their hands and rechecked their loading in preparation for the next battle.
The battle with the slave thieves did not consume much physical strength. Even if there was a large-scale battle, they had enough mental and physical strength to deal with it.
After a while, the tiger-character flag sentries sent around returned one after another.
At this time, Pan Yi on the roof of the car could already see the figure of the Mongolian armored cavalry in the distance through the monocular telescope.
Thousands of cavalry are running on the ground, the sound of horse hooves is heard, and when you look around, you can see dark clouds approaching like a canopy.
The sense of oppression brought to the enemy by the running of thousands of cavalry would sometimes make many infantrymen lack the courage to face a battle and simply collapse without a fight.
The soldiers of the Tiger Flag have all been on the battlefield. They have fought against the Mongols more than once or twice, and they have also faced large groups of cavalry rushing into battle more than once.
Ordinary infantry may be afraid of the cavalry charge, but there is no panic or fear on the faces of the soldiers of the Tiger Flag.
For the soldiers of the Tiger-Character Banner, they have already demonstrated their arrogance in the Mongols. Facing the Mongolian cavalry, the soldiers of the Tiger-Character Banner naturally feel higher in their hearts.
The gap left for the sentinels to enter the circle was blocked again by the four-wheeled cart.
Groups of soldiers holding muskets entered their positions, and more than a dozen four-pound cannons were loaded. The muzzles were adjusted to the appropriate position. They could ignite and fire as soon as the enemy approached.
Thousands of Mongolian armored riders stopped after approaching the Tiger Flag convoy.
"Taiji, something is wrong. Didn't you see the golden man? Could it be that he didn't come?" A Mongolian centurion came to Mangus' side.
If he had a monocular at this time, he would definitely be able to see that there were many corpses scattered on the grass in front of them.
At this time of year, the grass has grown very high, and the body is left in the grass. Unless you get close to it, it will be difficult to find the body inside.
"We came after the golden man's horse hoof marks. We can't go in the wrong direction, and the convoy with the tiger flag is right in front." Mangus frowned.
The horse hoof marks on the ground are very new, they are the marks left by the Jin people riding horses.
The centurion next to him hesitated and said: "Could it be that something happened to those Jin people, or else the Jin people didn't take action against the convoy with the tiger flag and hid, hoping that we would take action first."
"The Jin people came to take revenge on the Tiger Flag convoy. There is no need for us to stand up for the Jin people. Since the Jin people didn't take action, we won't take action either," Mangus said.
Before coming, he had been told by Obataji that this time the Jin people were the main ones. They were just here to share the profits with the Jin people. Naturally, they would not fight to the death for the Jin people.
"The Tiger Flag convoy is right in front. Why don't we get closer? These traces on the ground are obviously in the direction of the Tiger Flag convoy." The centurion pointed to the Tiger Flag convoy parked in front.
Mangus hesitated.
Then, he said: "Take a few people over and see where these traces on the ground lead. Remember, don't be the first to attack the people with the Tiger Flag."
He vaguely felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he decided to send someone to investigate ahead.
The centurion called for a dozen armored cavalry and chased them along the horse hoof prints on the ground.
"The Mongols are quite vigilant and actually know how to send people over to explore the road." Cheng Ping saw only a dozen riders approaching, turned to Pan Yi and said: "Captain, shall we fight?"
Pan Yi looked at it with a single-channel telescope in his hand and said: "Tell the people below not to take action yet. These few people are not enough to waste gunpowder."
After all, the Mongols are different from the Jin people.
Facing the Jin people, they can take action without any scruples, but when facing the Mongols, they have some scruples. After all, the Mongols are all trading partners in the Tiger Flag business. Before they understand the purpose of these Mongolians, , it’s not easy to do it directly.
A dozen Mongolian armored cavalry entered the range of the cannon. Due to orders, the artillery team did not bombard these Mongolians.
"There's a body here!"
A Mongolian armored cavalryman approaching in the direction of the Tiger Flag convoy suddenly exclaimed.
As his words fell, all the Mongolians around him looked over.
Including the Mongolian centurion who led the team, they noticed corpses scattered on the ground with obvious money rat tails on their heads.
"They are Jin people, they are all Jin people." Another Mongolian shouted.
"It's available here too."
shouted some Mongolians who were further ahead.
The moment the centurion saw the golden man's body, his face turned ugly.
Before, I was still speculating that these Jin people might be hiding aside, hoping that their Horqin people and the guards of the Tiger Flag convoy would take the lead. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
The corpse of the Jin man on the ground told him that the Jin man had already taken action.
Looking at the situation in front of us, it is obvious that there is nothing wrong with the Tiger Flag team, so it is these golden people who are in trouble.
"Don't go forward, go back immediately."
The centurion suddenly thought that the appearance of the Jin's corpse here meant that the Tiger Flag convoy had the ability to kill the Jin here, and it also had the ability to kill the Mongols.
He and the people he brought with him were in danger.
Soon, he returned to Mangus with a dozen armored riders.
"Taiji, the bodies of Jin people were found in front, and there were a lot of them. My subordinates were worried that they would be in danger, so they led them back." The centurion reported in front of Mangus.
