Chapter 254: Tracking and Pursuit

Qing Getai took two hundred elite cavalry selected from his own cavalry, and joined the Huang family team that was ready to break off with the three hundred cavalry left behind by the other leaders. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The more than 500 cavalrymen were all equipped with iron armor and leather armor or cotton armor, and the feathered arrows in the three quivers were all full, and they all preferred two war horses to ride.

Earlier, the Mongolian cavalry was too poor before, and had never obtained such good equipment, but now not only has the armor but also put on two layers, and is fighting with the reassuring Lord Huang, all of them are full of morale and self-confidence, and they all hope that the Karaqin cavalry will catch up, and everyone will go to the Karaqin cavalry to catch up.

Huang Sheng's team waited for Cheng Quangong and they walked for most of the day with five or six thousand men, and asked Qinggeltai's cavalry to clear the traces of their march, and then they did not hurry to withdraw the ambush army and the exploration horses, and began to follow the miscellaneous mixed army that retreated one step ahead in a circle.

After all, there is snow on the grassland, and it is easier to deliberately cover the traces of the march, and the tracks of your own troops are not only not camouflaged, but also deliberately left arrogant.

Huang Sheng judged that there would definitely be chasing soldiers, and he should not be able to come too much in a short time, and the Karaqin Manzhu Xili tribe that had suffered a big loss would not give up, he did not dare to come to the decisive battle, and wanted to take revenge, so he should send men and horses to peep at our army.

The horses of the Huang family are the most afraid of the enemy's peeping, as long as there is a cavalry approaching their team on the snow-covered grassland, it is too eye-catching, and it will be found within a radius of twenty miles.

There were more fifteen miles where the encirclement could be arranged, and the Huang family and horses ambushed troops in all directions, fighting more and less to be prepared for the unprepared, and after attacking the advanced ones, the enemy had no chance to return alive at all.

Everything was expected by Huang Sheng, but he didn't expect that there would be a lot of Karaqin people!

Manzhu Xili, who fled in a hurry, was chased and beaten by the Khalkha cavalry for a long time, and when it was dark, he found that the pursuers had retreated, and he found that the seven or eight hundred people around him had scattered a lot, and there were only more than 100 horses and horses with him.

He was also an old man, and knew that the enemy had returned to the camp, and the cold night of the prairie was not a joke, and it was impossible for people who were not familiar with the environment to dare to chase the enemy at night.

He immediately arranged for the remaining men and horses to light ten large fires, and he led everyone to hide in the shadows and wait for the lost warriors to find this place.

This method is too good, but it can't be used in an unfamiliar environment, this prairie is equivalent to a fiefdom of Manzhu Xili, it is his territory, he thinks that the Ming army has retreated, and it is more likely that he should be able to see the fire.

In the night of the vast grassland, ten roaring fires were too eye-catching, and the Manzhu ritual not only succeeded in gathering more than 300 remnants, but also attracted a tribe that was ready to go to the settlement for the winter, this tribe had 200 cavalry and 7 or 800 people.

The sentry horse sent by the head Wen Erwen found that there was a little fire more than ten miles away from his camp, and thought that he should have encountered a brother tribe that was also concentrated in the settlement, so he hurriedly sent a team of ten people to contact.

The Ten-Commander unexpectedly found Lord Kodaiyoshi, who was supposed to be in the winter camp, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Manzhu Xili was thinking about how to get food to fill his stomach, when he found that the ten-captain who had come to contact him was very happy, praised him, and immediately rushed to the camp of the Wenerwin tribe with the more than 300 tired cavalry that had just been assembled.

The fleeing cavalry had no provisions, and they were about to go hungry, but they were lucky enough to meet the clansmen who came back for the winter, and immediately relieved their urgent needs.

He sent several teams of messengers to the territory of his Lao Tzu and several elder brothers overnight, asking them to quickly send a large number of cavalry to surround and rob the Ming army.

specially begged his Laozi Oba Taiji, and quickly sent someone to ask the Houjin master to send reinforcements, and told him that Laozi Oba, as long as the five thousand Houjin cavalry came, none of those thieves would be able to escape.

He also described to Lao Tzu Oba and his elder brothers Ukshan, Sonam, and Gurqin Python how well the equipment of this Ming army was, how many horses and carts there were, how much supplies they brought and looted, and how much gold and silver they should have.

However, the Karaqin grassland is too big, and it may take seven or eight days for my father and brother to mobilize people and horses to come immediately after receiving the news, and it may take even longer for the Houjin master to arrive.

After so many days, who will know where those Ming troops have gone, if it snows again on the prairie, 100,000 people may not have the good luck to find the Ming army.

Manzhu Xili decided to personally take the men and horses to secretly follow the Ming army, and send sentry horses to deliver the news to Wen Erwen, the leader of the winter camp, at any time, so that the reinforcements would be targeted when they arrived.

He didn't have to worry about supplies now, so let the cavalry of the Wenerwin tribe set off with him, and Wenerwin took his people to the winter camp to wait, maybe another tribe would arrive there soon.

Manzhu Xili pulled Wen Erwen and admonished: "Please ask the old general to send more children along the way to help contain the scattered men and horses of Bentaiji, and tell them that as long as they return to the camp, they will not be blamed for the past." ”

"Lord Taiji, don't worry, your subordinates will take care of it, and they will definitely keep those scattered clansmen, but you also have to be careful! Your two sons and all the warriors are handed over to you. ”

"Don't worry, old general, we are not going to fight this time, but just following that hateful Ming army, as long as my father and brother catch up with their cavalry, those Ming troops will die."

"Lord Taiji, those Ming troops may have a doorway, you must not follow too closely! Your subordinates' family resources are all in your hands! ”

"Don't worry, old general, we will definitely not attack the Ming army, we can't even be discovered by them, to be honest, we can't beat them with more than 500 horses."

Manzhu Xili knew that there were not many people in Wen Erwen's tribe, his son died five in battle, and now he only had two sons, and he saw that his thousands of soldiers and horses could not withstand the beating of the Ming army, and now it is too risky for this little person to follow.

Manzhu Xili thought that he was experienced in beating, and he was not prepared to rely on these more than 500 cavalry to sneak attack the Ming army, he already knew that it was impossible to fight, but adopted the method of remote monitoring to provide accurate information for the ideal siege of his father and brother's army.

Wen Erwen saw that Xiao Taiji, who had always been arrogant, rarely said soft words, admitting that he was not the opponent of the Ming army at all, and said that he would definitely hide in the Ming army, so he was slightly relieved.

He also believes that as long as he does not take the initiative to attack, even if he is discovered by the Ming army, it doesn't matter, his men and horses are light cavalry, and everything will be fine if he runs away immediately, and he has never seen the Ming army catch up with the Mongolian light cavalry.
