Chapter 36: Ivan Jel's Squad

A sturdy figure, a reddened beard, and slightly pale cheeks.

Both the appearance and the clothing show that this group of people is not a native of Mongolia, let alone a Han Chinese.

A few gunshots rang out, and a squad of more than a dozen stranger cavalry rushed straight towards Chang's camel caravan. Seeing this, the Chang family hurriedly organized to meet the enemy, but the fire was fired ten feet away.

Several Changjia knife men were unprepared and were immediately shot and wounded to the ground.

Losing several combat power at once, the Chang family's camel team became chaotic, and the two cronies hurriedly blocked Chang Minyue behind him.

The Outlander Musket Squad was very experienced in dealing with the situation in front of them, and they did not rush directly into the camel caravan, but after letting go of the musket, turned away from it, and waited for the gunpowder to be loaded and returned.

Six or seven people were divided into two groups, and there was always one group of people who kept shooting at the caravan.

For a while, the Changjia camel team suffered heavy casualties, and could only retreat north along the stone bridge of the Tula River, and it was about to collide with Tiemo's team.

......

Tiemo was very curious, how could a group of old Maozi musket teams emerge on the banks of the Tula River?

It seems that this old Maozi cavalry is still a professional robber, "What's going on with this firecracker cavalry?" ”

Aqige's face was gloomy like water, and he looked coldly at the battle situation not far away, "This is the red-bearded horse bandit, about eight years ago, such a horse bandit appeared near the Tula River, specializing in robbing Han caravans. ”

"Redbeard bandits?" Tie Mo frowned, what red beard? This group of people is definitely the old Maozi who came from the Tsarist Russia.

Tie Mo hadn't decided whether to help the Chang family's camel team or not, in fact, he was quite happy to see Chang Minyue deflated.

Tiemo didn't take the initiative to help, but the Chang family's camel team rushed over, and Chang Minyue shouted from afar.

"Surnamed Tie, did you watch Miss Ben being killed? Don't hurry up and help! ”

Tiemo is not a good stubble, as soon as he heard Chang Minyue's words, he immediately became angry.

"Are you stupid, don't you hurry up and throw away the goods and camels, it's important to escape!"

"You ....." Chang Minyue was so angry that her eyebrows rose, but what Tiemo said was still very reasonable. With a camel cargo, you will definitely not be able to run fast. In desperation, Chang Minyue could only admit it, and let people throw the goods down first.

As soon as the red-bearded bandits got the goods, they stopped the pursuit, they led the camels, turned around and withdrew in the opposite direction.

Tiemo pinched his chin, a little incomprehensible to this group of old hairymen. Evacuated with goods in full view of everyone, is it too unsightly? Robbery is a business that also requires technology.

A truly professional horse bandit must come and go like the wind, only bring the goods that can be taken away, and never slow down the transfer speed.

This group of old hairy people is greedy enough, not only the goods, but even the camels have been taken away.

After thinking about it carefully, he beckoned to Zhou Dingshan and the others, and after a few words, he and Aqige divided into two teams and ran in different directions.

.......

An hour later, the red-bearded bandit cowered in a meadow, sadly finding himself surrounded.

Because he was dragging too many goods, the horse bandits, who were originally extremely fast, were stunned and could not outrun the two legs of others. By the time we noticed that someone was blocking the road, it was too late.

The red-bearded horse bandits used to rob Han caravans, but afterwards they all left with a swagger, and it was the first time that they were made dumplings.

To this group of old Maozi horse bandits, Tiemo will never be polite. Zhou Dingshan took the lead, and more than a dozen archers began to shoot arrows at Lao Maozi dozens of feet away.

I have to say that the firearms of this era are really heartbreaking, the firearm in Lao Maozi's hand looks good in lethality, but the range is not as good as the longbow in Zhou Dingshan's hand.

Dozens of arrows were shot out, and four or five old hairy people died in the end, and the rest of the people saw that the range was not as good as that of people, and they did not have an advantage, so they turned over and dismounted one by one, hiding behind camels and shivering.

Lao Maozi hid behind the camel and didn't come out, and Tiemo didn't have much to do for a while. Take the initiative to attack and enter the range of the firearms, and there will inevitably be casualties. Tiemo is not stupid enough to sacrifice his brother for the sake of the Chang family's goods.

One couldn't hide, the other didn't take the initiative to attack, and the scene suddenly became weird and stiff.

Azig was really a little overwhelmed, and poked Tie Mo's waist with a horsewhip, "What are you waiting for?" With just their men, a single charge can be completely eliminated. ”

"What rush? The firearms in their hands are not burning sticks, as you saw just now, their marksmanship is good, and once they are in range, we will have to kill and wound several people. ”

"The warriors of Mongolia are never afraid of death!"

"Yes, people who know you can fight, but we don't have to die for the Chang family's goods!"

Chang Minyue's face turned cold, and her heart seemed to have been burned a few times with a burning stick. After a long time, calming down a little, she pointed to the camel caravan in the distance with a blank face.

"Miss Ben promises you, as long as you can get the goods back, I will share half of them. You don't have to worry that Miss Ben will trouble you afterwards, and if I do, the princess won't make my Chang family feel better. ”

Although the cooperative relationship between Azige and Tiemo has never been talked about to outsiders, Chang Minyue Bingxue is smart and has already seen some clues. If it weren't for the closeness to a certain extent, Azig would have taken the Naiman soldiers to help Tiemo deliver the goods?

Listening to Chang Minyue's assurance, Tiemo's face stretched a little, "Then thank you Miss Chang for your generosity." ”

Tiemo was about to give the order to attack, but heard Han Niu'er shouting hurriedly.

"Brother Tie, look, what do these redbeards want to do?"

Turning his head to look, he saw a fire gun sticking out from behind the camel, and there was a white cloth on the fire gun, which was swaying in the cold wind, and it was very piercing.

Lao Maozi surrendered?

As if to verify Tiemo's thoughts, there was a burst of clear Chinese words in the distance.

"Don't attack, goods, we don't want it, we, admit defeat."

Tiemo was suddenly a little surprised, as far as he knew, there had been no formal exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Tsarist Russia in recent years, let alone any trade contacts, why did an old Maozi who could speak Chinese come out?

"The one who can speak Chinese, you put down your gun, come over alone, let's talk. If you don't be honest, you'll all die! ”

"Good..... Don't attack, I'll just go over ....."

Soon, an old man with a white face and a beard came over, and judging by his appearance, this guy should be in his thirties.

"Hello, noble warrior, my honorable name is Ivanty Mikhanov!"

As soon as Lao Maozi opened his mouth, he amused Tiemo and the others. It seems that although this old Maozi's Chinese is quite slippery, his understanding of the meaning of the words is still not in place.

"Hello, Ivanjie, my name is Tiemo, dare to ask why you are near the Tula River? Are you Tsarist Russia going to do something to the Mongol tribes? ”

Tiemo said it casually, but Azig listened to it, her eyebrows raised, and the scimitar in her hand was unsheathed.

Evangel stared, and quickly waved his hand in fright.

"No, no, no, the great Russia did not mean to attack the Mongol tribes, I just ..... I just ....."

Evangel seemed to have something unspeakable, but under the threat of death, he still chose to confess honestly.

It turns out that Evangel is also a man with a story, and it is a tragic past.

More than ten years ago, during the Wanli Dynasty, Ivan Jie led people through Siberia and Mongolia through great hardships, from Xuanfu to Beijing, and came to the sacred country of his dreams. In the capital, Evangel admired this great country, looking at the majestic buildings and a dazzling array of objects, Evangel felt that the most correct decision in his life was to venture to the mysterious eastern country.

Unfortunately, just when Evangel was at his happiest, a basin of cold water was poured down.
