Even Yue Tuo saw what Tiger Character Flag was trying to do, and Daishan, who had followed the old slave on expeditions since he was a child, naturally thought of this too.
"Have the people sent to the Great Khan returned?" Yue Tuo asked.
Daishan shook his head and said: "It's not that fast. Moreover, since we were targeted by the tiger bandits, our marching speed has slowed down. Even if the Great Khan sends reinforcements, they may not be able to arrive today."
"Otherwise, just wait for a day. The army will be stationed here, waiting for reinforcements from the Great Khan." Yue Tuo suggested.
After hearing this, Daishan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "We can't rely entirely on the Great Khan. The Great Khan doesn't know the situation here. Even if reinforcements are sent, they won't be too many, and now this In this case, the infantry will be useless unless the Great Khan brings all the soldiers and horses of the two yellow flags, but this is simply impossible."
"Amma's intention is to continue moving forward and meet the Great Khan and the others?" Yue Tuo asked.
Dai Shan said: "Yes, keep moving forward. Only by joining forces with the two yellow flags can we ensure safety. Staying and waiting for the reinforcements from the two yellow flags will only be more dangerous. No one can guarantee that the tiger thieves only sent cavalry. Once the infantry leads If you catch up with artillery, that will be the disaster of two red flags."
"Since Ama said so, let's continue on the road. However, the tiger bandit's cavalry will definitely harass us on the march. We should find a way to solve it." Yue Tuo said.
Daishan thought for a while and said: "Let's go on our way first. It's really impossible to leave some troops behind to attract the tiger and bandit cavalry."
Although he didn't say it directly, Yue Tuo knew it in his heart.
Those who are left behind are tantamount to being abandoned.
However, this time has not yet come, and if it does come, he will choose to leave some people behind to attract the enemy's attention, giving more people a chance to escape.
On the other side, Tan Zaiwang's First Cavalry Battalion caught up with the two red flag armies.
Moreover, the First Cavalry Battalion appeared openly and openly in the sight of Dai Shan and Yue Tuo, and cruised around the two red flags, like a group of hungry wolves eyeing the prey, and they might pounce on the prey at any time and bite it when it is not prepared. A piece of meat comes down.
"Chen Wu, take your brigade and test it out. We can't let them go so smoothly." Tan Zaiwang saw that the two red flag armies had no intention of stopping and being on guard, so he directly sent a cavalry brigade to test.
The 1st Cavalry Battalion is well organized. Although it has experienced two battles, the number of casualties has not been much reduced.
After receiving the order, Chen Wu led the first cavalry brigade to rush towards the slave soldiers at the end of the two red flags.
Seeing this, Daishan could not move forward regardless, so he had to stop the army and organize the cavalry with two red flags to prepare to meet the enemy.
Especially the archers, most of them appear in the rear area of the team.
Yue Tuo was also at the end of the team. He personally directed the battle, hoping to use archers to inflict a heavy blow on the pursuing Tiger Flag cavalry, so that the Tiger Flag cavalry would not dare to continue to follow the army unscrupulously.
When Yue Tuo was ready to fight, Chen Wu led his cavalry brigade to stop a hundred and fifty steps away from the two red flags.
Yue Tuo was very disappointed when he saw this.
At this distance, no matter how good the archer is, it will be difficult to hurt the cavalry of the Tiger Flag.
However, he did not dare to let the archers take back their bows and arrows, and he also had to be prepared for the possibility of a charge by the cavalry sent by the Tiger Flag at any time.
The situation was deadlocked for a while.
Yue Tuo saw that it would be difficult for the two red flags to catch up with the two yellow flags of the Great Khan if this situation continued, so he had to ask someone to notify Daishan and order the two red flags to go on the road again.
However, you can't go too fast and give the two red flag archers behind you a chance to retreat slowly.
As a result, the marching speed of the two red flags is difficult to describe.
Although it was a little better than stationing in place, the speed was also slowed down, and it became more difficult to catch up with the two yellow flags that left first.
On the Tiger Flag side, Tan Zaiwang, who was leading the troops, was not in a hurry at all, and he would not force his men to fight against the two red flags.
As long as the two red flags cannot go away, his goal has been achieved.
Once the heat is up, the two red flags will sooner or later become the meat of their tiger-character flag.
The two sides remained in a stalemate until dark, and the two red flags failed to move a few miles.
After dark, the two red flags stayed at the same place to bury pots and make rice. Not far away was the place where the cavalrymen of the Tiger Flag made a fire to eat.
Both sides could see each other by the light of the fire.
"Amma, this can't go on like this. We have to find a way to solve it." Yue Tuo approached Daishan.
Although the Tiger Character Banner did not launch a real attack on the two red flags' army, if this delay continues, the two red flags themselves will be unable to bear it.
Just one piece of food and grass can completely bring down the two red flags.
"What are you going to do?" Daishan asked Xiang Yuetuo.
Yue Tuo said: "It is impossible for the tiger thief's cavalry to still be on horseback at night. Otherwise, we will attack the tiger thief's camp tonight. It is so late. Once something happens to the tiger thief's horse, we will not be able to keep up with us in a short time." .”
"Just do as you say." Daishan nodded in agreement, and immediately reminded, "Be careful. We can think of attacking the camp, and they won't think of it."
Dai Jin had never taken advantage of Tiger Flag, and he no longer dared to underestimate Tiger Flag, a rebel from the Ming Dynasty.
Yue Tuo went back to arrange the sneak attack.
In order to ensure that the sneak attack had more chances of success, Yue Tuo specially arranged for people to take action in the second half of the night near dawn.
This is when people are most asleep and at their lowest vigilance.
In the second half of the night, a crescent moon hung in the sky. Even if there was no light during the day, the soft light of the moon still shone on the grassland.
Naturally, the moonlight was not a good time for a sneak attack.
But neither Yue Tuo nor Dai Shan had a choice. It was impossible for the two red flags to wait for more than ten days and wait until there was no moonlight in the middle of the night to sneak attack the cavalry camp of the Tiger Flag.
Even if they could wait, the Tiger Flag would not give the Two Red Flags this time.
The target of this sneak attack was the horse mounted by the cavalry.
Yue Tuo sent a Zuo Ling and a Niu Lu manpower.
Not only are there too many people, it is easy to be discovered, but this time they are not going to kill the enemy, so they don't need too many manpower. One Niu Lu is just right.
The people selected to attack the Tiger Flag camp were all red armors with rich combat experience.
And everyone carried a fire stick and some flammable materials in their arms.
If you want to scare a war horse into fleeing, using fire is the best way.
Yue Tuo, who had stayed up all night, personally sent Niu Lu, who was going to attack the cavalry camp, out of his own camp.
Under the night, even if there is moonlight, you can still only see some moving figures, and after walking farther, you can't see anything at all.
This made Yue Tuo breathe a sigh of relief.
The closer the flag soldiers going for a sneak attack can get to the cavalry camp, the better their chances of winning.
And they only have one chance tonight.
If this cavalry cannot be dealt with, once it is entangled again during the day, the infantry of the Tiger Character Banner will most likely catch up with the cannon.
