Another part of the steppe

Bull Venus followed Battle, who was trying to learn Battle's movements to control the horse under his crotch.

Oops.

The war horse didn't run a few steps, Niu Jinxing exclaimed in surprise, and almost fell under the horse.

Seeing Niu Venus hurriedly regain control of the warhorse, Battle and the Zalut warriors beside him laughed.

"You still can't learn these moves of mine for the time being." Battle laughed as he slowly said to Niu Venus.

"If you want to learn how I control a horse, you must know everything about the horse. You see. ”

As he spoke, Battle lay on his back on his horse.

Battle's huge size, with the running of the war horse gently undulated, the war horse did not seem to be affected in the slightest.

Leaning back, Battle continued, "Maverick, you're just learning my moves now, and you're going in the wrong direction.

What you need most now is to get acquainted with the temperament of the war horse.

You have to do everything you can to make your movements conform to the movements of the war horse, so that your every move will not affect the rhythm of the war horse.

As long as you do that, you will naturally do these actions of mine. ”

Battle still admires Niu Jinxing, a teenager who has negotiated a deal with him, and he is willing to teach him his riding skills.

Of course, Battle wasn't prepared to tell Bull that his riding skills had been honed for more than 30 years. In his 20s, he didn't reach what he himself said.

Watching Battle's relaxed riding performance, Niu Jinxing's eyes were about to pop out. Niu Jinxing never imagined that human riding skills could be like this.

After months of learning Mongolian, Niu Jinxing could barely understand part of what Battle was saying.

The rhythm of the war horse?

Bull Venus fell into deep thought.

This statement is the first time Niu Venus has heard it.

Niu Jinxing came to the Khalkha Ministry as an observer of the cadet team to study cavalry.

The junior team, counting Niu Jinxing, only made up more than 30 teenagers in total.

There is no way, among all the teenagers, only more than 30 of them have riding skills, and they can barely follow the Khalkha fighters to move together.

After following the Khalkha Ministry for a few days, Niu Jinxing had already sensed the difference between the Mongolian cavalry and the Ming border soldiers.

How so?

Both sides should be considered elite cavalry, but the feeling for Niu Jinxing is completely different.

Now after Battle's suggestion, Niu Jinxing finally understands the real difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian cavalry.

Compared with the riding skills of the Ming border army, the riding skills of the Mongolian cavalry seem to be more natural.

Yes, it's more natural.

The Ming border army pays attention to the strict cooperation of people and horses, and the Ming cavalry will strictly train the war horses to cooperate with the soldiers to make various tactical movements.

The Mongol cavalry, on the other hand, paid attention to making people conform to the horse.

The Mongol cavalry was more of a man who followed his horse to make various movements.

This conceptual difference between the two sides may not be much different when it is reflected in the combat power on the battlefield.

Even the combat power of the Ming border army is slightly higher.

But on the march, the idea of the Mongol cavalry showed its superiority.

Under the control of the Mongols, the horses would run with much ease.

This ease of war horses can allow the Mongolian cavalry to run a few more miles, or even more than ten miles, every day.

The Mongol cavalry adapted to the horses, allowing them to change their horses at any time without losing much of their combat power.

This is why the Mongolian cavalry marched much faster than the Ming border army.

Niu Jinxing, who thought clearly about the advantages and disadvantages of the ideas of the two sides, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he began to take the initiative to adapt to the rhythm of the war horse according to what Battle said.

Seeing the clumsy movements of the bull Venus, Battle smiled.

A group of scouts hurried from a distance.

Battle's eyes lit up.

Did you find the Houjin grain team that the elder said?

Living up to Battle's expectations, the Scout came with definite news.

The Tancai did find Houjin's grain delivery team.

However, the size of the grain transport team greatly exceeded their expectations.

"What?

There are thousands of cars.

Oh my God!

How much grain did Houjin buy? ”

Hearing the size of the grain transportation team described by Tanqi, Niu Jinxing couldn't help but exclaim.

Compared with the rarity of Bull Venus, for a caravan of this size, Battle is not very strange.

Battle also led a team to Zhangjiakou.

In Zhangjiakou, Battle had seen caravans far larger than the Tanqi had described.

When the official market in Zhangjiakou opened, and most of the Mongolian tribes rushed to do trade, which caravan was not bigger than this caravan?

"How many guards are there?"

Battelle was more concerned with how many guards the caravan had than the size of the caravan.

"Look at the flag, the other side has at least a guard of 3,000 people. Judging from the flag, it should be the positive white flag of Houjin. As for the escort of the caravan itself, it was also around 1,000 people. ”

There are so many guards.

Battle frowned.

The Khalkha Fourth Division did reach a consensus to jointly crack down on (robbe) the post-gold grain team, but in Battle's hands, there are now only 1,000 people from the Zarut Division.

There was no way, the three divisions of Bahrain, Hongjira, and Bayue were unwilling to try their luck on the grassland without a target (the three departments did not believe in the intelligence from the Longmen caravan), and they only agreed to wait for the Zalut division to find the target before they worked together.

In this regard, Gessel has no choice.

Who asked the old shopkeeper Zheng Ming to convey the information, but it was only Zhu Youzhen's speculation.

Zhu Youzhen really didn't know when Zhangjiakou would start transporting grain to Houjin. His arrangement of the grassland is more of a precautionary measure.

Since the Khalkha Third Department is unwilling, the work of the sentinel can only be done by the Zarut Department. Only the Zalut Division, which is supported by the Longmen Caravan, can afford to send troops.

But no one expected that Battelle would find Houjin's grain transportation team when he came out for the first time.

It's just that, obviously, Battle's strength alone simply can't eat this huge caravan.

Go back and gather the main forces of the Khalkha Ministry to come again?

No way.

The scouts found that the location of the caravan was already at the head of the Korqin Division.

The current position of the caravan is still the edge of the grassland of the Horqin Tribe, and if the caravan continues to move forward, it will go deep into the hinterland of the Horqin Tribe.

At that time, even if all the main forces of the Khalkha Department came, in the face of the Korqin Department, the current Khalkha Department did not dare to easily provoke a war.

But if Houjin's grain transport team was just let go, Battle was really unwilling.

"Alas,"

Battle struggled for a long time, but still let out a long sigh.

Three thousand armor soldiers with white flags, this power is indeed not something that his 1,000 people can eat.

The wound on his left arm, which has not yet fully healed, is still reminding Battle of the strength of the Houjin Eight Banners.

Battle admits that not to mention 1000 vs. 3000, even 1000 vs. 1000, the warriors of the Zarut Department will probably not be able to defeat the Houjin armor.

Alas, forget it, there is still a chance to grab food. He couldn't let the warriors of the tribe go to death senselessly.

Battle made up his mind.
