Ulaanbari galloped desperately with the remaining robbers, and ran far away at once, until he was sure that no one was chasing him. Gather the team and send out the sentry guard, and then order everyone to rest, the robbers sat on the ground one by one and gasped for breath, and the war horses were also sweaty.

Until this time, Ulaanbazhi was still a little confused, and the people who attacked them in costume during the battle were all dressed up by the Ming army, but their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the Ming army. In recent years, the Ming army has rarely been outside the border wall, let alone took the initiative to attack the Mongols, it is said that now the Ming Dynasty border army is even difficult to pay military salaries, how can it still have the ability to carry out sports war. I didn't provoke the Ming people, and the robbers were Mongolian merchants and small Mongolian tribes, and these Ming troops came up as if they had a lot of hatred, all of them were desperate to fight, which was really incomprehensible.

Count the rest of the people, fortunately did not run away, there are more than 300 people in total, many of them are wounded, but the problem is not big, they are all minor injuries, those who are seriously injured did not escape either as prisoners or were killed by the enemy.

Ulan Bari, who was not very clear about the intentions of the Ming army, decided to stay away from this group of people, and it was better to be careful in everything, so he decided to take a break and flee in the direction of Guihua City, and the Ming army should not be too far away from the border wall. The naturalized Lin Danhan people will not be moving around on the grassland on this cold winter day, so being careful should be able to avoid them.

After his subordinates healed from their injuries and came out, the team grew up again after a few trades.

It's a pity that the money I worked so hard to grab didn't have time to take away in this battle, and it cheapened those Ming troops. When this breath is relieved, we must kill all this group of Ming troops and break their generals to pieces.

"Ahh Zhang Chu, who was resting in the tent, sneezed.

He rubbed his nose and wondered who was missing me again, but luckily it wasn't a cold. It's been a few days since we set out from Fugu. In a blink of an eye, it was the first month of Chongzhen's fourth year, and a New Year was spent in the battle. The fighters are missing their families a little. Zhang Chu himself inevitably missed Yue Yue and Li Mei in Fugu, but he couldn't go back now, although he fought two battles, eliminated some robbers, and more than 300 robbers fled to the north, if they didn't clean up the trade routes, it would be unsafe, and the trade with the Mongols on the steppe would be affected, and how could Zhang Chu, the enemy who affected his money bag, easily let go.

Zhang Chu also had a deeper idea, this time the army mobilized the crowd to bring more than 5,000 cavalry to the grassland, not only to fight these robbers, but also to meet them, not to stand on their feet and cheer and strengthen their courage. The 5,000 cavalry came to clear the grasslands outside the border walls.

Zhang Chu decided to restore the Han people's control over the border wall, bring this area under the jurisdiction of the security army, and with the strong military strength as the backing, began to implement the security army's armor protection system on the grassland, and the production on the grassland found a place for more nomads.

The armor protection system on the grassland was formulated more strictly than before, each tribe as a whole, the registered population signed a guarantee contract, no matter what you think in your heart, you have to express your recognition that the marshal Zhang Chu is the real master of the grassland, each tribe has to pay taxes to Zhang Chu, once the armor joins can not exit, if you betray the security army or do not pay taxes the whole tribe will face punishment. Even if they fled to the edge of the sky, the security forces would also chase and kill.

The work has just begun, and there are no tribes that have been punished for betraying the security army, but there are also tribes that do not recognize the great Zhang Chu Marshal as the master of the grassland.

The security forces sent them to prisoner-of-war camps as a whole, and these people were to be supplemented with mine labor to reform their misconceptions. All this is just the beginning, and Zhang Chu will take a variety of measures to strengthen his control over the grassland in the next step.

Now Zhang Chu is thinking about how to completely eliminate this group of robbers, and by the way, train the soldiers.

Two battles with the Mongols exposed the shortcomings of the security army's cavalry. Especially the second time, the surprise attack on the robbers also made the robbers run halfway. Those who participated in the war were still the elite of the specially selected elite, and it seemed that the cavalry of the security army still had to rely on a lot of training in actual combat.

The robbers ran far away and brought many difficulties to the clearance, and Zhang Chu took the opportunity to rest and recuperate to adjust the team he led, leaving half of the old team members, and then replenishing new recruits to come in. His purpose is to let the veterans get a rest and the new recruits to go through the test of actual combat, and the combat effectiveness of the squad in front of him has been reduced, but it is still beneficial in the long run.

Based on the information of the past few days, the robbers should have fled in the direction of Naturalization City to the north. It seems that the robbers are scared, and Zhang Chu is ready to continue to pursue them, one is to train the troops, and the other is to grasp more about the situation on the grassland.

Zhang Chu dispatched the Mongols in the team, scattered in Mongol clothes, and inquired about the situation in the steppe, and at the same time perfected the combat map of the security army.

The teams were ordered to set off, including Agoura, whose loved ones had died at the hands of the robbers, and he and ten other warriors formed a group to reconnoiter north, with the aim of finding the escaped robbers.

Driven by hatred, Agoura was particularly serious, carefully searching for every trace of the steppe, and the warriors with him were also intimidated by him, and they had worked very hard for several days to eat and sleep, but they still did not relax at all. A few days later, they discovered the whereabouts of the robbers, and the squad leader immediately ordered a soldier to go back to report to Zhang Chu, and the others followed the robbers, setting up road signs to guide the direction of the follow-up troops.

Ulan Bari has been a little restless in recent days, he has become a frightened bird, always feeling that someone will come to kill him at any time, which makes him more and more cautious, and even a little suspicious, several robbers were reluctantly left behind to hide as a secret sentinel to observe whether anyone is following. Ulaanbazhi's move worked, and the secret sentry found the security soldiers who were following him, and quickly reported to Ulaanbazhi, who was even more frightened. It seems that this is a never-ending game, and the other party has no intention of stopping, and must get rid of the tracking.

When the robbers set off again, they left more than 30 good hands to ambush, Agoura and other security soldiers followed, and the robbers suddenly rushed out from all sides to surround them, and the squad leader immediately rushed to the robbers with three fighters when he saw this, and shouted to Agoura: "The five of you rush out and report to the commander, keep an eye on the robbers' tracks and don't let them run away." ”

The robber and the squad leader, who were chasing in front, collided with each other, and the two sides did not communicate any language, only using steel knives to speak.

Hearing the order, Agoura gritted his teeth and ran to the rear with his companions, but when the robbers tried to catch up, they were stopped by the squad leader. When the robbers came out, Agoura and the others had already fled far away, and the angry robbers vented their anger on the squad leader and besieged them with all their might.

Agoura and a few of them saw that they got rid of the pursuers, slowed down their horses and waited for the squad leader and others to break out, and after a period of time they didn't see anyone, Agoura had to send one back to report the situation to the marshal, he took the remaining three people to stare at the robbers from afar, and saw the robbers retreat Agoura ran to the place where the battle just took place, and found the squad leader and their mutilated bodies. Agoura: They wiped away their tears and continued to stare after the robbers.

The robbers thought that the stalker must have been scared away, but soon they realized that they were wrong, and the stalker was still watching them from a distance. The number of people was smaller, but they did not relax at all, and they became more alert, and the robbers failed to succeed in several raids.

Ulaanbari felt a great deal of pressure and danger was imminent, and he immediately ordered the robbers to speed up their walking. On the grassland, it seemed that four people were driving hundreds of robbers.

The robbers' efforts were in vain, and two days later Zhang Chu arrived with five hundred cavalry, and after listening to the report of Agoura and others, he immediately launched an attack on the robbers.

The attack was very well organized, and reserves were left around to prevent the robbers from escaping, ready to eliminate the fish that slipped through the net.

There is no suspense in the battle, only the last chance The robbers are still fighting, which makes the battle very tragic, but it cannot change the fate of the robbers.

In the end, there were only a dozen bandits left around the bandit leader Ulan Bari, they gathered together to look at the security army that surrounded them and wanted to do a dying struggle, Zhang Chu brought people up to confront them, the robbers raised their sabers, Zhang Chu ordered the soldiers to raise their muskets, a burst of gunfire The robbers were killed cleanly, and the security soldiers were scarred but won the final victory.

Zhang Chu gathered his team to clean up the battlefield, and the soldiers on the periphery came running to report that a large group of cavalry was coming at this time.

After the battle just now, the physical strength of the war horse has been greatly consumed, and now it is very dangerous to evacuate if it is caught up by the enemy, Zhang Chu had to order the whole team to gather and prepare for the battle. (To be continued.) )
