The significance of patrolling has become smaller and smaller, the herdsmen are shrinking in the north, and there are fewer and fewer tribes willing to be stationed in the south, ten days ago, the cavalry from the direction of Xinghebao hit the troops and herdsmen stationed in the southeast, most of them are the tribes of Karaqin, the armor soldiers because they are concentrated on the opposite side of Jining Fort, and the station more than ten miles away was suddenly attacked by more than a thousand and Yusheng cuirassiers, the herdsmen are almost powerless to resist, bows and arrows are useless to the cuirassiers, and the cuirassiers are more powerful than bows and arrows, Whether the two sides were fighting each other or on horseback, the Mongols were not opponents, and the losses were very heavy, more than 10,000 cattle and sheep were driven away, and more than 1,000 horses were lost, and the number of dead and wounded was more than 1,000, and a small Taiji was killed in battle.

Because of this, all the troops refused to garrison troops to the south, and with the appearance of the Xinghebao cavalry, the garrison to the east was strengthened, and some of the Taiji of Karaqin led the army eastward, and they were worried that their old pastures would be attacked.

There seemed to be wild beasts in the barren grass, and the spirit of a few whistles was raised, and everyone was discussing what to shoot to eat, and then whether to eat barbecue or boil white meat in the pot they carried, that is to say, when this kind of thing, the spirit of the whistles would be lifted.

If it had been before, Tabu Bang would have shouted and cursed, but now he has no interest in controlling his subordinates, as long as he continues to patrol according to the patrol route, this is already a qualified sentry.

Not far away, there is a military platform more than three miles away, towering into the clouds, Tabu took a look, there is no special dazzling feeling before, the military platform is built according to a mound, the building is very high, the platform is boxy, there are countless perforations on the wall, there are also the firing ports of artillery such as the Franc machine gun, the same horse wall on the periphery and the moat, the trench, there is a suspension bridge where there is a passage, all the military platform bunkers are almost the same regulation, there seem to be some workers' camps left outside the military platform, and the people in the military platform should come out to maintain normally, The camp did not decay, but was well preserved.

Tabunang's face was gloomy, and the behavior of the people in the military platform only showed one thing: they also planned to build more military platforms and side piers, and even a military fort!

Some of the sentries rode away without asking for instructions, and they untied their bows, and chased the frightened hare through the grass, and several pheasants fluttered and flew up in the grass, and one of the sentries shot an arrow right into the pheasant's neck, and the pheasant fluttered in the air a few times before falling.

Not to be outdone, the other men fired their bows and arrows, and soon shot all the other pheasants, and they rode forward triumphantly, and shot two more hares, and they counted the food almost as they were left, and each of them rode back.

In the past, Tabu Bang would have felt pleasant, and he had a sense of pride in being a Mongolian, but today he only glanced at it, and there were no emotional fluctuations.

This kind of change is not only in Tabu Nang, but also in a large number of armored horses and herdsmen, and it is even more serious.

The siege and fighting in various places had been going on for three months or more, and the Mongols had been at a disadvantage everywhere, and the morale of the various divisions had been low despite the large number of troops gathered here, but the results were unsatisfactory.

They found a place to sit down, plucked all the grass around them, found some dead branches, dug a hole in the ground, peeled the rabbits, and stripped the pheasants of their hair and entrails, and then put the meat on the bottom, and spread some leaves, and burned on it, so that by the heat they could cook the food.

By the time the aroma wafted out, some people had already drunk bags of mare's milk wine.

Of course, the sentinels can't drink alcohol according to the rules, but no one cares anymore, and Tabu Nang doesn't drink it himself, but he doesn't care if his subordinates drink as long as they don't miss something.

A group of cavalry appeared in front of everyone's eyes, about ten or so, seemingly dressed in ordinary gray robes and without outer armor, and galloped towards the front of the military platform five or six miles away in the southeast direction.

Everyone looked over, and some looked at Tabu Bag.

Tabu Nang looked at it and said, "It's too late, let's get on the horse and rush over again, the people are already within the range of the military artillery, and it's useless for us to go over." ”

Hearing his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone sat down again, waiting for the meat to be cooked.

The cavalry approached the platform, and did not enter, but dismounted and waited on the perimeter of the barricade, and the sentries looked at it with curiosity, when someone opened the fire and cut off the roasted chicken leg with a knife, and the man hesitated for a moment, but handed it to the tarbu.

Tabu Nang stared at that side, there have been a lot of Heyusheng cavalry who have come out recently, and the frequency is getting higher and higher, and the range of activities of the sentries has been compressed very small.

Everyone began to cut meat with knives and eat it, and everyone's voices and movements became smaller, they didn't want to raid and Yusheng's cavalry, and certainly didn't want to be hunted down and killed.

The flag language contact between the various piers of Yusheng is becoming more and more frequent, and the content of the flag is becoming more and more abundant, many times the sentries pass through a certain pier in the south, and then not far to the north may find that there are cavalry of Yusheng to intercept, after several times of this kind of incident, the sentry of each department has been lost, and everyone is careful a lot.

Tabu Nang also bit the meat, the meat was not cooked much, so it tasted better, the meat was very tender, the pheasant meat was actually not delicious, the meat was very chai, it was also very old, it was not cooked and seasoned, only sprinkled with some salt, of course the taste was not good, Tabu Nang did not put his mind into eating, he was still staring at the cavalry.

After a short time, the drawbridge was lowered, and then more than a dozen horses were brought out of the fort, and then the saddle was changed and the replaced horses were taken away.

"They're changing horses." A sentry muttered, "What's the need, it's not a sudden encounter now, no one is going to raid them." ”

"Rise up, every man!" Tabu Bang threw away half of the chicken leg in his hand, stood up and kicked his subordinates who couldn't react, and ordered them to hurry up.

"There may be important people in it and Yusheng." Tabu's eyes were suddenly as sharp as an eagle, and he said, "They are the ones who went to Jining Fort specifically, and they didn't wear armor and changed horses along the way just to speed up." Not an ordinary cuirassier, and they don't intend to fight us. ”

"So what?" A sharp whistle boldly muttered: "We can't catch up again, and when we catch up, there are also riders ......"

Tabu stared at him so hard that the whistle didn't dare to say anything more.

A dozen Mongols quietly mounted their horses and headed straight north, intending to speed up and then catch up with Yusheng's cavalry in front.

If this team of people is not armor-piercing, Tabu Sang plans to close the distance and fight with them again, the skills of the sharp whistles are very good, and the battle loss ratio will not be too ugly if they are closer, the key is that Ta Bu Sang feels that there should be a big man in this team of cavalry and Yusheng, if he can kill the opponent's high-level in the fierce battle, even if his team dies, it is worth it...... Of course, he would not tell his subordinates that the morale was already so low that it could not be lowered, and if these sentries knew about Tabu Nang's intentions, they were likely to scatter and flee, and of course it was more likely that Tabu Nang would be shot to death from behind by his own people.

The speed of the horses gradually increased, and the Mongols' horsemanship and horses were first-rate, and they soon overtook the cavalry of Heyusheng in the distance, and then circled from the northwest to the southeast.

When the two sides were less than two miles apart, they were aware of each other's existence.

He Yusheng's side did not mean to avoid, there was a side pier more than two miles to the west, if they rushed to the side pier to escape, it was very likely that they would escape there to hide.

"Tabu bag, you can't chase it!" A sentry scattered in front of the left side of the line suddenly shouted.

Tabu Bang looked ahead, in the hills not far away, the cavalry of the brigade turned over from the hills, everywhere was a flickering cold light cuirass, in addition to the cuirassier cavalry, there were a large number of heavy armored cavalry wearing armor, they had long knives and sabers in their hands, the total number of cavalry of more than 1,000 people was like sea water, but when it flowed, it emitted silver light, and the horses made a rumbling sound when galloping, Tabu Bang woke up, because he was also riding his horse just now, so he ignored the movement elsewhere, The cavalry must have noticed the situation from a distance, and they rushed straight to their side.

"Let's go, head southwest, take a detour back."

Tabu is very decisive, and in this case, continuing to pursue is to find his own death, no matter who is on Yusheng's side in the team, he can only give up.

"It's Zhang Han."

A sentry followed Tabu Nang to ambush Zhang Han, and he couldn't help but scream.

Although he was turning his horse's head and running away, Tabu Sang couldn't help but look over, the cavalry of the team and Yusheng had already run over to this side, and from less than a mile, it was obvious that there was a young man wearing a hat in the middle of the cavalry, from the body shape to the appearance characteristics, it was obvious that it was Zhang Han who had encountered outside the forest more than 20 days ago.

The blood was pouring all over his body, his face was twitching, and his teeth were clenched.

He was thinking, if he resolutely turned around and faced Zhang Han now, and everyone shot arrows at Zhang Han, would it be possible to shoot Zhang Han to death without heavy armor?

That time he didn't kill Zhang Han outside the forest, Tabu Nang will regret it for life, if that time succeeds...... This thought often haunted him and made him uncomfortable.

Although I have done my best, regret is regret after all!

Tabu's heart was pounding: Could it be that the immortal heavens have mercy and give me another chance?

"Let's go." A sentry beside Tabusang pointed behind him and shouted, "It's getting closer." ”

Due to the arrival of the cavalry of the brigade, Tabu Nang and the others had already turned their horses and left, and at this time, dozens of cavalry in the brigade suddenly accelerated their horse speed and chased after Tabu Nang and them.

What is strange about Tabu Nang is that these pursuers are wearing big hats, red tassels jumping on the brim, and cotton armor or cloth armor on their bodies, from their dress to their riding skills, they are all obvious characteristics of the cavalry of the Tumut tribe.

Today's big seal, there are a lot of things that should be said, and I won't talk nonsense today, I just hope you will continue to support it.
