"Bozige, there seems to be a fire in front?"
After hundreds of Mongolian cavalry approached Tieshan, they found thick smoke rising above Tieshan.
A Mongolian man rode up from the side. He looked up into the distance, frowned slightly and said, "Could that be the Ming army's camp over there?"
"There is no Ming army in Iron Mountain. I heard that people from the Tiger Flag have occupied Iron Mountain." Centurion Dahaqil said.
Bozige looked back at the other party and asked: "The Tiger Flag is not in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. When did it come to Liaodong? Why haven't you heard of it?"
The tiger-shaped flag is more famous on the grassland than the Ming Dynasty.
In the Jiangnan area of the Ming Dynasty, most of the people who knew about the Tiger Flag were dignitaries and scholars. Ordinary people did not know much about the Tiger Flag.
However, on the grassland, there are few people who don’t know the Tiger Flag.
The tiger-character flag convoy traveled to various parts of the grassland, bringing all kinds of necessary living materials to the grassland. From Jinong Taiji to ordinary herdsmen, everyone knew that there was a tiger-character flag.
"Who knows," Dahazir said, "Anyway, I heard from Tai Ji and those Jurchens that the people of the Tiger-Character Banner are in Tieshan and a place called Pi Island."
Bozige said worriedly: "So our opponents are soldiers of the Tiger Flag?"
"Probably." Dahazir nodded.
Borgri said with an ugly face: "The soldiers of the Tiger Flag are not easy to deal with. When their convoy was on the grassland, many tribes wanted to use the convoy, but they all suffered in the end."
"Buhe almost died in the hands of the Tiger Flag people today." Dahazir suddenly said.
After hearing this, Bozige's expression changed and he asked: "You mean that when Buhe was chasing the Ming army, he encountered soldiers with the Tiger Flag?"
"I heard it from Qing Rilang who was next to Taiji." Dahazir said, "Qing Rilang accompanied Mangus Taiji to the handsome tent. His words cannot be wrong."
Bozige looked at Dahazir beside him with an ugly expression, and said: "Since you know that the soldiers stationed here in Iron Mountain are Tiger Flag soldiers, why are you telling me now?"
He was angry that his companions were hiding things from him.
"I'm not sure, and I'm not sure. If Qingrilang heard it wrong and said it through my mouth later, and Taiji knew about it, he would definitely punish me severely." Dahazir defended himself.
After hearing this, Bozige snorted coldly and said: "Qing Rilang got the news from the handsome accountant. How could there be any mistake? It's useless for me to regard you as my Anda. This is how you lied to yourself Anda." .”
If he knew the word circumcision, he would probably have already severed the meaning of his Anda circumcision.
Seeing that Bozige was really angry, Dahazir smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you in advance, but I don't dare to spread such words outside. Right now, Taiji has lost more than ten armors because of Buhe." Shit, if I want to tell you about the tiger-character flag, who can guarantee that Taiji will not take it out on me? Bozige, you also need to understand my difficulties."
After listening to his explanation.
Borig thought of the Tiger Banner's several attacks on the tribes on the grasslands. Even the 30,000 households in Mongolia on the right and several tribes in Mobei had surrendered to the Tiger Banner.
Even the people in Horqin know that the people in Tiger Flag are not easy to mess with.
Dahazir leaked the fact that Tieshan had tiger-character flag soldiers, so that no Mongolian warriors were willing to deal with Tieshan. Mangus might really deal with Dahazir severely.
Bozige lost a lot of his anger.
He could understand Dahazir's difficulties.
"What are you going to do next?" Bozige asked Dahazir.
He didn't want to touch Tiger Flag's brow.
Even if they take advantage of the large number of people here in Tieshan, the grassland is the foundation of the Tiger Flag. If the herdsmen want to live a better life, they need to rely on the Tiger Flag.
Dahazir turned to look at him and asked, "You're not going to give in, are you?"
"Look at the place where the smoke is coming from in front, it should be the camp of the Ming Army, no, the Tiger Flag." Bozige pointed at the thick smoke in the distance and said.
Dahazir looked at the thick smoke in the distance and said, "Do you think the Ming people themselves started fighting with me?"
"You are simply out of your mind!" Bozhge looked at Dahazir in surprise.
He didn't remember drinking when they left camp.
Dahazir said: "You misunderstood. What I meant was that there was a fight between the Ming army and the people of the Tiger Banner. I heard that the Tiger Banner was a rebel in the Ming Dynasty."
"If you say that, it's not impossible." Bozige rubbed his chin back and forth with his palm and said thoughtfully.
Tieshan was originally where the Ming army was stationed, and the Ming army was very familiar with it. It was normal for the remnants of the Ming army who escaped from Yizhou to flee to Tieshan.
"Go over and have a look? If the Ming army and the people of the Tiger Banner kill each other, we will have an explanation for Mangustaji when we go back." Borig urged the war horse and took the lead to approach the place where the smoke was coming out.
"Follow me all."
Dahazir called to the others and urged his horse forward.
More than two hundred Mongolian cavalry quickly arrived at the place where the smoke was rising.
"It's not like there was an internal fight, it's more like a fire was deliberately set before leaving." Bozige looked around.
Most of the surrounding houses and courtyards were on fire. There were open flames on the roofs of many houses, and there was a lot of firewood under Fangshan that had not been completely burned out.
"The men of the Tiger Flag have abandoned Iron Mountain. It seems they haven't gone very long. If we chase them now, they might still be able to catch them." Dahazir said to Bozige.
Bozige hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to pursue me?"
"The Jurchens are right behind us. We always have to show off. If we don't catch up to the shore, we can have an explanation when we get back." Dahazir said.
Bozige thought for a while and said: "I heard what you said, then I'll chase him."
More than two hundred Mongolian cavalry chased towards the shore.
Tieshan's camp was connected to the seaside by a road, and the Mongolian cavalry chased them all the way along this road.
boom! boom! boom!
Before these Mongolian cavalry could reach the shore, they were ambushed halfway.
Seven or eight squatting tiger cannons fired almost simultaneously, followed by a series of gunfire sounds.
The dozen or so Mongolian cavalry who rushed at the front fell off their horses one after another under the damage of cannons and muskets before they could react.
"There is an ambush, retreat quickly, retreat."
Being hit head-on, Bozige immediately ordered to retreat without even thinking.
However, the cavalry cannot advance and retreat as freely as the infantry.
In panic, many Mongolian cavalry collided into a group, leaving seven or eight more corpses before retreating to the burned camp.
"It's definitely the people from the Tiger Flag. They are the only ones who are the best at using firearms." Dahazir said with lingering fear.
Bozige looked gloomy.
Most of the casualties this time were members of his centurion team.
