Ma Yunjiu led a group of cavalry to stay outside the battlefield, always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Nearly two-thirds of the Tiger Banner cavalry who were fighting the Mongols in front were new recruits recruited later.

Although he had confidence in the cavalry of his cavalry division, he still did not dare to completely rest assured with so many recruits.

"Shizheng, you see Suba Du'er and the Mongolians from the Tumote tribe are not at all merciless in killing the Chahar tribe, who are also members of the Mongolian tribe." The cavalry guard following Ma Yunjiu said.

During the expansion of the Tiger Banner Cavalry Division, in addition to recruiting Han Chinese living on the grasslands, a small number of Mongolians from the Tumut tribe were also recruited.

In the cavalry battalion commanded by Liu Chao, there was a group of about a hundred Mongolian cavalry.

"The fights between various tribes on the grassland are also full of blood. Don't think that they can live in harmony just because they are Mongolians. Moreover, Dabanshengdi was once the pasture of the Chahar tribe. The Chahar tribe took the initiative to give up the land here to The Tumut Department will never be because of brotherly respect and modesty." Ma Yunjiu took the monocular telescope away from his eyes.

The battlefield was already one-sided. Chahar's cavalry began to rout in a small area, and the final defeat was not far away.

The situation on the battlefield has reached this point. There is no suspense about the outcome, and Ma Yunjiu can safely withdraw his attention from the battlefield.

"I didn't expect that the internal fighting between the Mongols was more severe than that of the Han people." The guard on the side sighed with emotion.

Ma Yunjiu looked at the battlefield in the distance again and said: "If the Mongols are unified, we Han people will be the unlucky ones. So for us Han people, it is better for the Mongols to be divided."

After becoming literate, he read a lot of books, and he was very clear about the harm to the Han people after the unification of the grassland tribes. Even if the unified grassland failed to win the Central Plains artifact like the Yuan Dynasty, it would still cause the smoke of war to appear in the country of the Han people. Countless Han people died due to the invasion of foreign tribes.

"Shizheng, you are right. If the various Mongolian tribes had not acted independently, our Tiger Banner would not have been able to defeat the Tumote tribe so easily and seize the most prosperous land on the grassland." The guard agreed.

After hearing this, Ma Yunjiu turned around and looked carefully at the guard beside him.

The guard felt a little embarrassed when he saw it, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, Shi Zheng? Did my subordinate just say something wrong?"

"No, you are right." Ma Yunjiu shook his head.

He also thought in his mind, if the Mongolian tribes were unified, would their Tiger-Character Banner be able to win the big board and raise it to the ground so smoothly.

This idea only turned around in his mind, and he understood that if the Mongolian ministries were really unified and a strong khan appeared, it would be extremely difficult for the Tiger Flag to win the big board and raise the ground, and even There is probably no chance of getting the best land on this prairie.

"We're defeated, we're defeated, the Mongols are defeated, let's be honest." The guard on the side said excitedly to Ma Yunjiu.

Ma Yunjiu, whose thoughts were interrupted, looked back at the battlefield in the distance, placing the single-channel telescope in front of him to observe the situation on the battlefield.

On the battlefield at this time, the cavalry of the Chahar tribe was being defeated. The Mongolian cavalry that had swarmed before fled in all directions, and the cavalry from the Tiger Flag side chased behind them and strangled them.

"Send the order and withdraw the troops." Ma Yunjiu said to the guards on the side.

Soon, the sound of gongs appeared on the grassland.

Liu Chao, who was chasing the enemy, pulled the reins in his hand and looked back.

In addition to the sound of gongs, there were also messengers standing on horseback waving flags in their hands and issuing the slogan "Ming Jin to withdraw troops."

"Send the order and withdraw the troops." Liu Chao shouted.

The Tiger Banner cavalry that was originally chasing the defeated troops stopped their pursuit and began to clean the battlefield. Most of the cavalry followed Liu Chao and retreated to the rear.

Liu Chao, who returned to the rear, jumped off his horse, walked to Ma Yunjiu, and said complainingly: "Shi Zheng, there was such a good opportunity just now. If my subordinates continue to pursue them, they will be able to annihilate them all."

"We arrived all the way here and before we had time to rest, we fought with the cavalry of the Chahar tribe. If the fight continues, even if the people can withstand it, the horses will not be able to withstand it. Don't forget, there is also a cavalry of the Chahar tribe. Not a single one of them took action." Ma Yunjiu reminded.

"It's a pity that we had such a good opportunity. Even if the Chahar people had given us half a day, my subordinates would have wiped them all out." Liu Chao patted the iron helmet on his head in annoyance.

People can still go on with just one breath, but war horses can't. War horses are delicate things and can't stand hard work.

Ma Yunjiu said with a smile: "Don't give in. You fought well in this battle. You showed the majesty of our Tiger Flag, and let the remaining Mongolians know the power of our Tiger Flag. It's not just a few thousand The Mongolian cavalry can bully them."

After this battle, he believed that the remaining members of the Chahar tribe would never dare to take action again.

"I hope these Mongolians won't run away. When the other cavalry battalions arrive tomorrow, they will all be wiped out." Liu Chao said fiercely, looking at the direction in which the Mongolians were escaping.

In this battle, he suffered the loss of his own side's unstable footing and failed to achieve the greatest results, which made him not too willing.

Ma Yunjiu looked at the sweat on Liu Chao's face and said, "You are tired after fighting with the Chahar tribe for so long. Go back and have a good rest. You will go to the battlefield to fight later."

As long as Chahar's cavalry does not leave, the war will not end.

"Yes, I'm resigning." Liu Chao gave a military salute and turned to leave.

Ma Yunjiu turned to look at the guards beside him and said: "Take a team of cavalry and keep an eye on the movements of those in the Chahar tribe. If there is any abnormal movement, send the news back as soon as possible."

Although he did not think that the Chahar tribe who had just been defeated would attack again, they still needed to take precautions. The cavalry battalion led by Liu Chao had just experienced a fight and needed to rest and replenish their physical strength, so this The problem can only fall on his guards.

"Yes." The guard on the side agreed, turned around and rode away.

Soon, a cavalry team of more than a dozen people followed him towards the Chahar headquarters.

As the commander of the cavalry division, Ma Yunjiu has a team of more than thirty people following him as a bodyguard.

This escort team of more than thirty people is similar to the personal soldiers around the military generals of the Ming Dynasty. Their main task is to protect the general. The difference is that the guards on the Tiger Flag are not the general's private soldiers.

If Ma Yunjiu is no longer a personal soldier, Shizheng, the more than 30 guards around him will not leave with him. They will still stay in the cavalry camp to protect the next cavalry division, or they will be dispersed below. in several cavalry battalions.
