Three days later, the Tiger Banner army and the Chahar army met on the battlefield.
Both sides of the army each occupy a flat place, and on one side of the two armies is a river, which is also the upper branch of the Black River.
On the first day of entering the battlefield, neither side made a massive attack, but only had a tentative exchange of blows. The Chahar tribe withdrew after losing some of their troops.
As night fell, both sides of the army chose to have a truce for the night, waiting to fight again tomorrow.
Halbala, who was stationed on the flank, arranged for the people below to prepare food, while he himself cooked mutton in the yurt and ate it with Suyar.
"Taiji, someone wants to see you, saying he is Su Yar's brother." When the Mongolian soldier came in to report, he did not forget to glance at Su Yar who was eating with Harbala.
Su Yar put down the short knife in his hand and said to Halbala: "It should be one of ours."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, when he heard these words in Harbala's ears, he immediately knew that the person coming should be someone sent by the Chahar tribe.
"Bring the people in!" Harbala knew that he had to see the other party, so he directly asked the soldier who came in to report the news to bring the people to his yurt.
The soldier who reported the news retreated.
Soon, a rough-looking Mongolian man was brought in.
"Zakbu, I have met Taiji and General Suyar." The visitor saluted Harbala and Suyar respectively.
At this time, Su Yal asked: "Zhakbu, why are you here?"
"It was Bogriz Taiji who sent me here," Zakbu said. "Taiji sent me to ask General Suyar why you didn't attack the enemy's central army during the day."
Su Yaer frowned and said: "You go back and tell Bogeritaiji that I can understand his desire to defeat the tiger-character banner army, but I can't act recklessly and miss the opportunity to defeat the enemy. Bogeritaiji If Ji is anxious to defeat the Tiger-Charactered Banner army, you can ask him to command the army to attack them in a big way, so that I can give the Tiger-Charactered Banner a severe blow."
"Yes, when you go back to Gao Boge, he shouldn't always send out a few soldiers and horses to test. If I move here in advance and he fails to follow up, it will only make the people of the Tiger Flag find out about me. Something wrong on the side will not do any good to defeat the Tiger Flag army." Harbala said to this Zakbu.
However, Zakbu ignored him and continued to say to Suyar: "Bozhgetai Ji said that tomorrow the army of the Tumote Department must attack the Central Army of the Tiger-Character Banner. As long as the Central Army of the Tiger-Character Banner is destroyed, When chaos breaks out, he will send troops to crush the tiger-character banner army in one fell swoop."
"No, it's too risky." Su Yaer shook his head slightly.
Harbala's face sank in his seat, and he said: "Go back and tell Borgz that the soldiers of my Tumut Department are not your cannon fodder. If he wants the cooperation to continue, then the army will attack. I will cooperate with him, otherwise we will break up."
"I will tell our Taiwan Kyrgyzstan." Zakbu said.
Suyar also felt that Bogzhi's request was too much, so he said to Zakb: "Zakb, please go back first and bring me and Harbalataji's wishes. If Borgzh cannot send The army is pressing down heavily, and the Tumote tribe will not rebel against the Tiger Flag."
"I will bring the general's words to Taiji verbatim," Zakbu said.
Soon Zakbu was taken away from the camp of the Tumut army.
As soon as the others left, Harbala threw the short knife in his hand on the table, and said with an ugly face: "What do you mean? Are we letting the people of the Tumut Department die? If this is the case, the worst is to continue to let the tiger-character flag The people are weighing on our heads, but you Chahar tribe don’t even think about getting the grassland of Tumote.”
"Don't be angry. I think Bogri also wanted us to take action first because he suffered a loss during the day. But don't worry, I have the same idea as you." Su Yar spoke to appease Halbala.
Although he didn't care about the death of some soldiers from the Tumut tribe, the reason why he wanted to support Harbala was because he simply thought that Borghi's method was too risky.
Wanting not to take any risks, but also wanting to get the maximum benefit, he thought Borghi was too whimsical.
"I just look out for your face, otherwise I would never join forces with you again. Don't think that I don't know what his intentions are. He wants the people of the Tumut Department to die. He is dreaming." Halbala said without mercy.
Su Yal had no choice but to assure him: "Don't worry, I won't agree to what Borgz did. On this point, I am on your side."
"I hope so." Halbala glanced at him and angrily stabbed a piece of cut mutton on the plate with a knife.
After the people sent by Borghi went back, no one came again overnight.
After dawn the next day, the armies of both sides once again conducted a small-scale trial on the battlefield.
Zhang Hong stood on the high ground of the camp, holding a monocular in his hand to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.
"It's been two days, and the other side is really patient. They are just testing the situation without fighting or retreating. What do they mean?" Deputy Division Chief Zheng Gao Zhongyun frowned.
Zhang Hong said casually: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, the other party's horse chews will consume no less than us. Even if the consumption continues, we are not afraid of them."
"How about we take the initiative?" Gao Zhongyun suggested.
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are not at a disadvantage right now, so we should wait and see what other methods the other party has."
The Tiger Flag has two battalions of infantry and an artillery team.
He knew that if he took the initiative to attack, it would be difficult for the enemy's cavalry, infantry and artillery to exert their maximum strength.
Day after day passed.
The Chahar army always conducted small-scale tests, but the army did not move rashly.
Seven or eight days later, the Chahar tribe suffered five or six hundred casualties, while the Tiger Banner side did not suffer even ten casualties. Moreover, the casualties on the Tiger Banner side were all sentinels. The two combatants of the Chinese army The barracks was not damaged at all.
"Taiji, the person from last time is here again?" A soldier came in to inform the yurt in Harbala.
Halbala paused and asked, "Who is here again?"
"It should be Zakbu." Su Yal reminded from the side.
Only then did Halbala react and said, "It's him! Bring him here!"
Not long after, Zakbu was brought in.
"Zakbu, what message did Bogrizitaiji ask you to bring this time?" Suyar asked first.
Zakbu held his chest with one hand and said: "Taiji said that the army will attack in a big way tomorrow. I hope that the Tumote Department will not break their promise."
"It would have been better if it had been like this. It has been delayed for so many days." Harbala said, "Go back and tell you Taiji that as long as he hands over, I will take action immediately."
Su Yal also said at the side: "You have heard what Harbarataji said, and you must tell it to Bogrizitaji in this way."
At this time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for so long, he could finally defeat this tiger-shaped flag army.
