Chapter 299: Assisted by the Ming Army

A verbal agreement is sufficient, and Hong Chengchou does not expect any written contract, and now the two sides do not understand the language, and it is not known whether the Buryats have a written language, and he returns side by side with the chief.

Coming to the leader's wooden house, Hong Chengchou asked the soldiers to offer six women for the leader to identify.

When the leader saw the six women, his eyes did not have the excitement and anger of the last time, he frowned slightly, and then pointed to the far west.

Hong Chengchou understood that these women were not from this tribe at all, and their homeland should still be in the west.

He asked his soldiers to escort out eighteen red-haired prisoners of war, and the leader was furious, and he summoned one of his men and said something that only they could understand.

As soon as the group left, they heard a chaotic noise outside, gongs, drums, pots and pans, as if there was everything, and I don't know what kind of musical instrument it was.

After a while, a large number of subordinates gathered in front of the wooden house, including men, women, and children, and Hong Chengchou visually estimated that the number of subordinates might reach two thousand, which was more than the last time he saw him.

Eighteen red-haired men were escorted to the open space in front of the wooden house, surrounded by an angry crowd and a noisy sound, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

Hongmaomen knew that it was not good, how could they bear that there were no friends here, and they were all tied hand and foot by the Ming army, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to.

Hong Chengchou didn't know what people would think at the moment when they knew that they were going to be killed by the enemy, he and the Ming soldiers stayed on the periphery, letting the troops deal with these red hairs, as long as the red hairs did not escape, they would not take any action.

A heart-rending scream came out of the cracks in the crowd, and the shouts became weaker and weaker, and it took about a cup of tea before the sound completely stopped.

Looking at the countless blood holes on the red hair's body, Hong Chengchou couldn't be happy, I don't know if these Buryats will treat the Ming army so cruelly in the future.

The tribe was already cleaning up the body of the red hair, according to their habit, it was supposed to spark, but today it was raining lightly, and it was impossible to make a fire outside, just dig a pit and bury it.

Hong Chengchou asked the soldiers for forty fire folds and handed them to the leader with his own hands, and the leader was overjoyed, hurriedly hid in the inner room of the wooden plank, and turned around to ask Hong Chengchou for distilled spirit.

Hong Chengchou spread out his hand and pointed to the far east, "I will definitely give it in the future." ”

The leader didn't understand it, so he had to shake his head, and suddenly he saw the altar on the square table, and he couldn't help rubbing his hand on the altar.

Hong Chengchou sat at the dining table, and there were four people at the table today, in addition to Hong Chengchou and the leader, there were two women, one was Li Qianqian, and the other seemed to be the woman who hugged Li Qianqian last time.

Hong Chengchou sat with the leader to pour wine, while Li Qianqian sat with the woman.

When the square table was full of dishes and bowls, Hong Chengchou patted the sealing mud on the mouth of the altar, and there was a strange fragrance in the house, and even the two women were excitedly chasing the source of the fragrance.

The leader couldn't wait, he stretched out his wine cup to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou first filled it for him, and then poured half a cup for himself.

The leader was not polite, a cup of distilled spirit, swallowed it in three bites, and then blinked his lips, waiting to pour it again.

"Qianqian, do you want some?" Hong Chengchou raised the jar and motioned to Li Qianqian, Li Qianqian asked for a small half cup, and the woman next to her was also a small half cup.

The two women brought the wine cup to their noses and sniffed it, but they still couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance, and stretched out the tip of their tongues to lick it, and immediately frowned and bitter faces.

Hong Chengchou smiled secretly, at this moment, a qiē language is redundant, and there is no difficulty in communication.

The two women poured the distilled liquor from the sake cup into the chief's cup and replaced it with their sake.

When Hong Chengchou observed the two women, the leader only cared about drinking, and he had already drunk half of the jar of distilled liquor.

Hong Chengchou could only look at the three of them and not say a few words, he didn't understand Buryat, he could only smile on the side, but he was not lonely, when Li Qianqian was talking to the woman beside her, a wave of afterglow flew from time to time, as if he was talking about something about Hong Chengchou.

It wasn't until the evening that the four of them finished their lunch drunkenly, and the woman next to Li Qianqian looked up at the sky and saw that it was raining and getting dark early, so she asked Li Qianqian to go back with Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou helped Li Qianqian onto the horse, stepped on it himself, and returned to the camp in the rain.

After the weather cleared, Hong Chengchou officially began to build the city, in order to speed up the progress, the wall foundation is dug from the nearby bluestone, after the preparation yard to one person high, the top layer is replaced with soil, the height of the entire city wall, designed in one battle two.

When the soil is dry, the soldiers will build earthen thatched houses in the city, the earthen walls must be very thick, and the thatched houses are very low, such houses, reduce the space inside, but the insulation effect is good.

The leader also went to the site of the Ming army's construction of the city, but in the process of building the city wall and thatched hut, Hong Chengchou gave him twenty jars of distilled wine, and he never showed up again.

In mid-July, another group of red hairs crossed the Segelen River and entered the area between the Uda and Shilok rivers, the gathering place of the Buryat tribes, perhaps in search of companions, or in preparation for another round of plundering of the local population.

In front of the chief's plank house, the alarm bell rang again, and the people, not knowing what was happening, put down all their work and gathered in the empty square in front of the hut.

The leader himself went into battle, and he called up hundreds of people, almost all the men of the tribe, who were armed with sticks and forks, and went to meet the red hairs, and the formation was not like retreating from the enemy, but like fishing.

There were only more than 20 people who crossed the Sagelen River, but they had horses and guns, and the various indigenous tribes could not resist along the way, and they did not know how many people they had killed.

The two amateur armies met less than three miles from the chief's plank house, and the red-haired men jumped off their horses and formed two rows in front of them, waiting for the Buryats to come and die.

The first attack of the Buryats numbered more than 100 men, and their weapons were sticks and forks for fishing, and they did not even have bows and arrows, but they were full of courage and determination with the responsibility of protecting their families and people.

The red-haired men aimed well from a distance, led the Buryats into range, and shot down more than a dozen people in an instant, and when the troops behind rushed up, they had already finished loading.

Another random shot.

The number of red-haired people was too small, and the Buryats, after paying heavy casualties, gradually approached them, and the red-haired saw that the momentum was not right, and they stepped on their horses and rode away.

But the red fur did not go far, but after fleeing two miles east, they stopped their horses and tumbled off their horses.

They loaded their bullets before they could catch up.

When the troops arrived panting, they were greeted by the bullets of the fire # guns, so repeatedly sawing, the red hair had no loss of personnel, and the troops who caught up had already suffered most of the casualties, and some of the remaining troops had been tired and spread on the grass, and there were still less than thirty people who still had combat effectiveness.

Seeing that there were too few people in front of him, the leader raised his wooden fork and was about to go up to meet the red fur himself, when a large strong hand grabbed his left hand.

He looked back and saw that Hong Chengchou was gesturing to him, although there was no verbal communication, he could still see that Hong Chengchou wanted him to suspend his actions.

"Are they going to go up? The red hair last time was caught by them, and perhaps, only they can deal with the red hair. ”

Hong Chengchou saw that the leader stopped moving, he issued a series of military orders, the army in front did not move, but the partial army on the right took the lead in rushing out, cutting off Hongmao's eastward escape route first.

The Ming army was all cavalry, and the action was quite sudden, and when the attention of the red hairs turned from the Buryats to the Ming army, they had no way to retreat.

The east was blocked by the Ming army, and the west and north were the Segeleng River and the Wuda River, and Hong Chengchou had been squeezed from the south.

Perhaps aware of the danger, the redfurs abandoned the Buryats, turned on their horses, adjusted their horses, and fled eastward.

The east is indeed the weakest place of the Ming army, with only one battalion of soldiers and more than 300 people, while in the south there are two battalions of the Ming army and hundreds of Buryat strong men.

At the same time as the red hairs got on the horses, most of the Ming troops in the east dismounted, and only less than thirty percent of the soldiers were still sitting on their horses, they were the reserves of the Ming army, ready to chase the fleeing red hairs.

The Ming army in the south, under the personal command of Hong Chengchou, was swooping towards the red hair.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

The Ming infantry in the east was the first to shoot, and they were automatically divided into three rows, and the soldiers at the front, dozens of bullets, flew towards the red-haired cavalry.

"Bang bang...... Click......"

The centaur fell and his bones broke.

The rhythm of the impact of the red-haired cavalry was suddenly disrupted, and the war horses that were galloping at high speed behind could not stop for a while, and some were tripped by the wounded horses in front, and the Ming army fired a volley, and their casualties were more than half.

The Ming army's firing did not stop, and when the red hairs in the back rushed over, the second row of gunners was already waiting for them.

After this shot, the remaining red hairs were already in the single digits, and they could be counted on one hand.

They reacted quickly, quickly turning their horses' heads and speeding north.

The cavalry of the Ming army in the east and south combined forces to surround the north, and they used the Wuda River in front of them to prepare to catch turtles in an urn.

The infantry to the south took the opportunity to deal with all the wounded red-haired soldiers.

Before the arrival of the Buryats, they had already searched the body of the red hair, the fire # gun is a strategic material, Zhu Youzhen had already explained to the new army of the Ming Dynasty, and it must not be left to others, even friends.

On the body and horseback of the red hair, the Ming army only found some animal fur and dry food, the Ming army did not lack food, they directly distributed these red hair dry food to the Buryat Zhuangding, the fur was left by themselves, ready to return to the capital, and then sold at a good price.

The remnants of the red hair have no roads on all sides, either rivers or the Ming army. They didn't even have time to discuss, and the Ming army was already pressing over from the southeast.
