.Daishan did not speak.
There are not many cavalry in the Zhenghong Banner. It is useless to send less cavalry. If you want to send more cavalry, there is no point.
Cavalry is different from infantry who can only ride horses. He does not lack infantry who simply ride horses for transportation. What he lacks is cavalry with the ability to ride and shoot.
"Amma, you have to understand that if you can't stop the tiger thief's cavalry, the army will not be able to move faster. You may even get entangled by one of the tiger thief's cavalry, and then be surrounded by the infantry of the Tiger Flag. At that time, you won't want to leave. It's even harder." Yue Tuo stared at Dai Shan.
Xianghongqi has lost more than 300 cavalry and one left leader, and there are not many cavalry left. Without Daishan's Zhenghongqi to send cavalry together, he is worried that even if he sends another cavalry from Xianghongqi, it will probably be like Just like Shuo Tuo, there was no news at all.
Daishan hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much do you think is appropriate to send?"
"At least three more Niulu will come from Zhenghongqi." Yue Tuo stretched out three fingers and placed them in front of Daishan.
When Daishan heard this, his mouth twitched a few times, and he immediately shook his head and said: "Not too many, three Niulu cavalry, this is to send out all the cavalry of Zhenghongqi, I don't agree."
Unlike the Mongols, the Jurchens have lived on horseback since childhood, so all the Mongols are excellent cavalry seeds.
On the other hand, the Jurchens were better at infantry combat due to their origins. It was not until they formed an alliance and marriage with Horqin that they gained access to some war horses, and then some cavalry were added, but they were still unable to compare with the Mongols in terms of proficiency with bows and horses.
Every Eight Banners soldier and cavalryman is also a treasure to each banner owner.
Infantry is easy to train, but cavalry is rare.
"Three Niulu cavalry are not many at all. Shuotuo brought nearly 500 cavalry but could not stop the tiger thief. This shows that the number of tiger thief's cavalry will only be more. If there are fewer people, it will be useless even if they are sent out. ." Yue Tuo did not give in at all.
Daishan shook his head again and said, "Zhenghongqi can't just send out three Niulu. Xianghongqi will also send out three Niulu. In total, there are six Niulu. Don't you think it's too much?"
"When Shuo Tuo left, I gave him a Niu Lu." Yue Tuo said.
Hearing this, Dai Shan said: "Then Zhenghongqi and Xianghongqi each send out two Niulu. The total of four Niulu's cavalry is enough to stop the tiger bandit's pursuit."
Four Niulu cavalry seemed to him to be quite a few.
Yue Tuo made a mental calculation.
Seeing that Daishan could only produce two Niu Lu at most, and he would definitely not take out more, he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then let's take out two Niu Lu at the same time."
The four Niulu cavalry were already quite large.
Moreover, these four Niulu cavalry are almost the same as the two red flags. After all, although there are many Eight Banners soldiers on horseback, the number of Eight Banners soldiers who are skilled in bow and horse is limited.
"Who will be sent to stop the tiger bandit's pursuit?" Dai Shan asked about the candidate for the general.
Yue Tuo said: "You can send a commander-in-chief. Of course, it is best to have Saharian as this commander. He is Baylor. The left leader will obey his orders regardless of whether it is a red flag or a red flag."
Sahanlian has fought many battles in the past few years, and has the bonus of his birthplace. He also has a certain prestige among the two red flags. Even Shuotuo is a head above water in this regard.
"Okay, let Sahalian go." Daishan glanced at Sahalian beside him.
Saha Lian did not refuse.
In his opinion, it was not a dangerous thing to intercept the pursuers behind the army. With four Niulu cavalry beside him, he could still escape even if he couldn't defeat them.
Since there is no danger and he can achieve meritorious service if he does it well, he is naturally willing to do such an errand.
As for Shuotuo's loss of news, he didn't take it to heart.
When he thought about it, Shuotuo must have escaped to the Great Khan for an excuse, and had no intention of intercepting the pursuing soldiers.
After the matter was settled, Yue Tuo went back and arranged for the two left leaders of Niu Lu with red flags to come to see Sahalian.
Saharian met the two left leaders with the red flag, and together with the two left leaders with the positive red flag, he took the two Niu Lu from the positive red flag and broke away from the marching army of the two red flags.
On the side of the Tiger Flag, Liu Chao and the cavalrymen of the Second Cavalry Battalion were following not far behind.
As soon as Saharian and his men came out of the army, they immediately approached Liu Chao.
As soon as the four Niulu Jurchen cavalry appeared, they were immediately discovered by Liu Chao's people.
"Yingzheng, should we avoid it or take action directly?" Zhao Wugu, captain of a cavalry brigade under Liu Chao, asked.
Liu Chao glanced at the slave cavalry rushing in front, and said with a chuckle: "Avoid them and lead them towards the division. There is no need to take action now."
The cavalry gun has an advantage over the slave cavalry in terms of armor penetration.
But once the two sides come into close combat, this advantage is not that great, because the slave cavalry are also wearing thick armor and are not as easy to bully as the Mongolian cavalry.
There are more cavalry reinforcements behind him, and Liu Chao has no intention of fighting the slave cavalry at this time.
He didn't use it when he had an advantage, but went to fight the slave knight to death. In his opinion, the gain outweighed the loss. Even if he won the fight, he would be punished by his master in the end.
Liu Chao quickly retreated further away with his cavalry.
When the chasing Saharian saw this scene, he showed contempt in his eyes and said to his left and right: "The tiger thieves' cavalry is nothing more than that. When they see my Dajin cavalry, they immediately flee. They are no different from the Ming armies we fought against in the past. It seems that Without firearms, the tiger thieves are no match for me, Dajin, just like the Ming army."
"Beile must not be careless. The tiger thieves were able to conquer the Mongolian right-wing troops, which shows that they are not weak. If they retreat before they fight, they may have set up some ambush." A left leader with a red flag on the side said.
After hearing this, Saharian smiled and said: "There could be an ambush. I think you were frightened by the tiger thief's firearms. Don't forget that this is a grassland. What happens within a few miles cannot be hidden from our eyes. If we really want to There is an ambush and there is absolutely enough time to evacuate in advance.”
The left leader with the red flag was right.
Although ambush can also be set up on the grassland, it requires special terrain, and the terrain in front of you is not special, and you can see everything around you.
"Follow me, don't let them run away, clean up these tiger thieves' cavalry, and share the horses they left with you." Saharian made a promise to the left leaders who followed him.
And he himself took the lead in urging the cavalry to chase Liu Chao.
The cavalrymen of the Tiger Banner had one man and two horses, and the few left leaders were naturally eager. Now with Saharian's guarantee, they all marched forward as if they had been given blood.
Liu Chao led his cavalry in front, and Saharian followed behind with four Niu Lu with two red flags.
After chasing and escaping, he quickly ran away seven or eight miles away.
The backs of the two red-banner armies have long since disappeared, and Saharian only wants to get rid of the cavalry with the tiger-shaped flag in front of him.
