Chapter 482: Tartars continue to send war horses

"Up!"

Zhang Yin waved his hand gently,

A Marine stepped forward quietly, and Seal followed him into the cabin. Behind him, more fighters entered. Gao Yu and others are in charge of guarding outside and providing reinforcements at any time.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

A dull gunshot rang out, followed by a man falling to the ground.

The people outside were all slightly stunned, not knowing what was going on inside. Fortunately, Zhang Yin quickly made a gesture to the outside world, indicating that all those killed were Tartars, and the Tiger Ben army itself had no casualties. At the same time, he needed personnel support. So, more fighters, Yuguan entered. On the deck outside, only Gao Yu was in charge of guarding.

Wang Chenglin also jumped on top of the Tartar ship with a tiger and a hammer, followed by ten armed sailors. They all had eagle-eyed guns in their hands. However, they are not professional combatants after all, and they will not rush into battle until the Marines need help. Huang Shijun immediately ordered everyone to pacify the war horses, so as not to fly away again.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Then, inside the cabin, there were intermittent gunshots.

Faintly, there was also the muffled snort of the Tartar. The sound of gunfire and screams soon mixed together. Finally, there were a few more lonely gunshots. After the gunshots rang out, all the groans and screams disappeared. Soon after, the seal came out of it, indicating that all the tartars had been removed. Unfortunately, there were no horses in the cabin.

Old Han Tou and a few sailors went down to the inside of the cabin to act as the helmsman and completely control the ship. The original sailors of the Tartar ships were all thrown out and gathered together. After counting, there were fifty-six sailors in total. After interrogation, they were all officers and soldiers from Dongjiang Town. The leader of the team is a sailor general, called Chen Yongnian. Huang Shijun ordered him to be held in solitary confinement.

At this time, Gao Yu had already counted the war horses on the deck. There were fifteen horses in all, one of which was killed by Minnie's bullet and one was wounded. The remaining thirteen horses were all intact. This amount is a bit less than everyone judged before. However, something is better than nothing. The number of Tartars on board, eighteen in all, were all killed. The Tiger Army itself, there were no casualties.

"Lao Gao, why do you say that these war horses smell of wine? Do War Horses also drink? After the battle, Zhang Yin asked curiously. When he jumped over just now, he smelled the gas emitted by the war horse, and there was a strong smell of wine, and he felt very curious, but he didn't have time to ask.

"I don't understand." Gao Yu shook his head and said. He also smelled that the breath of these war horses did have an obvious smell of wine, but he didn't know the specific reason. It stands to reason that war horses don't need to drink, right?

Huang Shijun asked Chen Yongnian: "Where did these war horses come from?" ”

Chen Yongnian replied honestly: "It was transported from Shenyang, and it is said to be the mount of the Fourteen Baylors." ”

Huang Shijun was greatly annoyed and shouted: "What fourteen Baylors? It's a tartar! It's the Slave Chief! ”

Chen Yongnian hurriedly changed his words and said: "Yes! Be! It's a tartar! It's the Slave Chief! These war horses are all mounts of the Tartar nobles! ”

The people around were suddenly greatly excited, the mount of the Tartar nobles? It must be a good war horse! This harvest is really good, it is much more valuable than those 10,000 arrowheads!

Huang Shijun continued to ask, Chen Yongnian didn't dare to hide it, and said everything he knew.

It turned out that the war horses carried by the three Tartar ships were all excellent horses, and they were all used by the nobles of the Tartars. The Tartars were in a hurry to take control of Dengzhou City, so they abandoned their war horses and set off in the form of infantry. It wasn't until they took control of Dengzhou City that the Tartars began to transport horses from the rear. For some reason, the Tartars used the original transport ships of Dongjiang Town, not the warships of the Dengzhou Naval Division.

As we all know, it is not easy to transport war horses by sea. War horses are originally afraid of the sea, and it is a problem to let the war horses get on the ship smoothly. Moreover, war horses cannot withstand the shaking of the sea, and ordinary small ships cannot transport war horses at all. For some time before, the Tartars had tried to transport the horses, but had been unsuccessful. Therefore, the thousands of Tartars in Dengzhou City are all without war horses.

It wasn't until a few days ago that the Tartars found an effective way to transport the war horses, that is, to let the war horses eat some sake lees and enter a half-drunk state. They mixed the lees in the hay, and after feeding the horses, the horses became a little drunk, and stood as if they were asleep. The war horses in this state are very slow to react to the sea water and the shaking of the ship, and can be smoothly led to the ship.

In this way, the Tartars tried to send them twice, and sent a total of two or three hundred war horses to Dengzhou City. Along the way, there were no accidents. This shows that the sake lees are indeed working. So, this time, they decided to send the mounts of Dolgon, Dordor, and others over. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by the Tiger Army.

"Heroes, I'm really not lying!"

"I was completely forced! The Tartars made us do this! ”

"Actually, we've always wanted to be anyway, who wants to follow the Tartars to be traitors?"

After finishing speaking, Chen Yongnian begged for mercy pitifully.

"You say these horses are all Dorgon's mounts?"

Huang Shijun ignored his pleas for mercy, all he cared about was these war horses. As for how to deal with traitors, that's someone else's business. He glanced at Chen Yongnian and said coldly.

"Of course it is, of course it is."

Chen Yongnian found that Huang Shijun's face was not good, and hurriedly said.

In order to prove his claim, Chen Yongnian also took out special forage from the cabin. Forage contains a lot of tofu skin, buckwheat, wheat stalks, dried tofu and the like. Obviously, this is definitely not the forage for ordinary war horses. Generally, as long as the war horse only needs about 30 catties of hay every day, plus some beans, it is already a good treatment.

The cabin was full of such hay. According to preliminary estimates, there are at least tens of thousands of catties. Chen Yongnian explained that because the war horses of Dolgon, Duoduo and others were all good horses, and the requirements for forage were very high, so they had to be transported from Liaodong, and they could not be found in Dengzhou City. After everyone saw it, they could only sigh that in these years, people's treatment is not as good as a good horse.

In order to invite credit, Chen Yongnian also pointed out the mounts of Dorgon and Duoduo. The war horses of the two are naturally the best horses in a thousand miles, which are said to be specially domesticated by the Mongols and are the descendants of the Dawan horses in the Western Regions. The number is not very large, and only people with status can use it. The main slave chieftains used such war horses.

The biggest feature of Dawan horse is that it has a strong ability to carry a camel and a strong ability to sprint, and it can carry hundreds of pounds and sprint for twenty or thirty miles. For a short charge, it is definitely the best war horse. The only drawback is that it is not as rough and extensive as Mongolian horses, and they are hard-working. Such a war horse must not be able to be raised by ordinary people.

After everyone saw it, they all felt that these dozen or so war horses were indeed quite strong. Even people who don't know anything about horses can see that they are unusual. It is conceivable what kind of performance these good horses will have after they get on land. I have to admit that there are some good things in the hands of the Tartars.

Zhang Yin said excitedly: "Let's just say that we want to develop!" So many good horses! It's a pity that one horse was killed and one was wounded! ”

Huang Shijun said slowly: "Thirteen horses are not bad. ”

After pondering for a moment, he turned his head and asked Chen Yongnian: "Is there any war horse to transport it behind?" ”

Chen Yongnian hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "There are more." There is news that ...... Fourteen Baylor ...... It was a Tartar, it was a Tartar, who encountered difficulties in Huangxian County and needed the assistance of cavalry, so he asked for a large number of war horses to be transported behind. In the past two days, there should be more than a thousand war horses to be transported. ”

"More than a thousand!"

"More than a thousand!"

"More than a thousand!"

The surrounding Tiger Ben Army officers, you look at me, I look at you, they are all excited.

Wahaha, more than a thousand war horses, as long as they reach the sea, they will be the Tiger Army's. If the Tiger Army doesn't accept this kind of business that is sent to the door, then how can it be done? These war horses are all first-class horses!

Wang Chenglin shook his head and said: "There are clouds in ancient poems, the moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time, we are war horses on the sea, and we are the only one!" ”

Huang Shijun said excitedly: "Zhang Yin, you first escort this ship back to Weihaiwei, and then explain the situation here to Commander Yang clearly, see if you want to send more ships to pick up the goods, we can't be busy!" ”

Zhang Yin went with a smile. Soon, Zhang Yin took five marines to monitor the ship carrying fifteen war horses and slowly sailed towards Weihaiwei. As for Huang Shijun and the others, they continued to cruise around Huangcheng Island, preparing to hunt. The target of the hunt is, of course, the Tartar's war horse.

Soon after, they met Zhou Zhengyu's flagship and reported the situation to him. From Zhou Zhengyu, Huang Shijun learned that it was not only him who had made a big gain, but most of the other warships had been captured. Among them, there are also quite a few captured war horses. Knowing that a large number of war horses were coming, Zhou Zhengyu smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and immediately arranged for all the warships under his command to disperse and specialize in hunting. There is a war horse on the sea, and this is the only one!

After receiving the new task, Huang Shijun and others were full of energy and patrolled back and forth on the sea. Soon, they had a new harvest, intercepting more Tartar transports and robbing more horses. Two days later, Yang Guohua arrived with more warships and joined the hunting ranks. The war horses of the Tartars were sent into the bags of the Tiger Army in this way.

Due to the lack of smooth information, in Liaodong, there are still Tartar ships carrying war horses south, and the Tartars in Dengzhou City cannot receive materials and war horses, but they cannot understand the situation from Liaodong. Because, all the sentinel ships, all the ships that delivered the news, were directly sunk by the Tiger Ben Navy. In other words, the message between Liaodong and Dengzhou City was completely cut off for the time being.

For the time being, Dorgon knew nothing about the sea. It took him five days to finally figure out Zhang Zhun's troop deployment. At the same time, in five days, Dolgon gathered a total of twenty-three cattle with white flags and white flags, as well as 14,000 rebels led by Kong Youde. Now, it's time for a large-scale offensive.

"Zhang Zhun!"

"I'm going to crush you in Huang County!"

In the middle of the night before the attack, Dorgon crushed the teacup.
