It was the Mongol and Yuan Dynasty and lived in the western part of the Altai Mountains and the area of the Sayan Mountains and the Tangnu Mountains, and was called Western Mongolia.

During the time of Genghis Khan, the tile spur was divided into 4,000 households, and in the Ming Dynasty it was called 40,000 households. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of the ruling tile spur was called Mengke Timur, and after his death, the tile spur was led by Mahamu, Taiping, and Bald Luo.

When the Great Khan of the Eastern Mongols was in decline due to the military blows of the Ming Dynasty and the infighting of the ruling class, the less war-torn Tile Thorns took the opportunity to rise up and attempt to seize the domination of the entire Mongolian region. In this struggle, the Tile Tarts and the Eastern Mongolian Tatars were two opposing sides, and the Ming Dynasty played a role in fueling the flames.

However, due to the increasingly serious land annexation within the Ming Dynasty, the increase in land endowment and the rise of displaced people, the imperial court's control of the northwest gradually weakened, which also gave these two major tribes an opportunity to take advantage of, and the Hami Rebellion was an example.

This time, in order to compete with the West Wedge Hebu for grassland and gold sand, it was actually the cavalry of the Bald Luo Department who was forced to snatch the source of firearms.

Wedge Hemu, who was beaten to the ground by the bald Luo cavalry, had already gathered his forces and held on to an oasis called Moon Spring, which was only more than four hundred miles away from his lair; If it weren't for the fact that the Watters wanted to annihilate the 2,000 cavalry he led, I'm afraid they would have taken a detour to his old camp.

Behind the wedge, which was blocked on three sides, was the Gobi Desert, which was more than 300 miles away, and the only open-air spring in this oasis with a radius of more than 50 kilometers was also occupied by the cavalry of the Watt Thorns two days ago.

In order to compete for that spring, he lost 500 brave subordinates, and he didn't want to lose his strength needlessly, so he could only give up the idea of controlling the water source.

Wedge wood, with a circle of medicine belt wrapped around his head, sat under a low poplar tree, holding a water bag, and cautiously sipping water, surrounded by his guards; Not far away, the rest of his subordinates gathered, lying on the ground, scattered on the grass, all hurrying to rest, and the saddles of the war horses were not removed.

A guard hurriedly ran over and carried a heavy water bag in front of Wedge Hemu, his face was pale and he waved his hand, asking the guard to take down the water and share it with everyone.

When he was trading with Eagle Claw Fort, he couldn't stand the high price of water umbrellas, and he didn't want to buy them at all, and Liu Shuihe, who was still "kind", took out three half-old water umbrellas and gave them to Wedge Bone who went to trade in the midst of Huang Hanxiang's complaints.

In normal times, Wedge Hemun didn't care about these three water umbrellas, but now that he and his men were driven to the edge of the oasis, there was no water to drink here, which made him secretly regret it in his heart; No matter how much gold sand there is, I can't drink it as water, so I should have bought a dozen umbrellas.

The selling price of each water umbrella is 1,500 taels, although it is fifty percent new, Xiao Ye still gives him a big discount for the sake of his allies, if the same selling price as the mainland is restored, I am afraid that Wedge Hemu should vomit blood.

The temperature on the grassland here is constantly rising, and compared with the Eagle Claw Fort, the pure water that the water umbrella can gather every hour is less than thirty percent, and it has become a life-saving treasure for Wedge Hemu.

Otherwise, even if the war horses are short of water, he can only evacuate here in embarrassment, and lure the Tile Thorns to his old camp.

The bald Luo cavalry, thirty miles away, guarded the spring, and did not force up to continue to fight with Wedge Hemu, but also saw that there was no alternative water source elsewhere here, so they could only force them to leave this oasis unhurriedly.

After all, the fire/gun in the hands of Wedge Hemu's personal guards, which was not a toy, relied on dense lead to shoot, so that the bald Luo cavalry did not want to continue to go deeper recklessly, and set up artillery at the spring, waiting for them to counterattack.

Instead of chasing desperately, it is better to wait for the rabbit, the commander of the Tile Spur Cavalry, who is not a stupid reckless man, is naturally a little bit of an eye. Without the strength of the West Wedge tribe, that is, a ripe woman is lying on the bed, waiting for a man to come.

Of course, if Wedge Hemu didn't have the courage to recover his oasis, then the Bald Luo cavalry wouldn't mind going east again and directly attacking the foundation on which the West Wedge tribe depended, and the news of the gold sand produced there would have spread long ago.

The output is not very large, but it adds up to a lot, and the bald word Luo doesn't mind that he has one more entry.

"Big Boss, Wedge Hemu is back," Wedge Hemu, who was looking forward to piercing, was hesitating to return, when the news brought by the Ranger gave him the courage to stay.

Wedge Hegu, who came back, told his brother Xiao Ye's request word for word, which also made Wedge Hemu's worried face and quickly regained his calm; Fortunately, that not very reliable ally did not do anything during this period, but was going to send troops to support.

There is no such thing as vain efforts in the world, as for Xiao Ye's request, Wedge Hemu thinks that it should be, if he is a reinforcement, maybe the requirements mentioned will be more harsh.

"Appointment?" Wedge Hemu turned around the grass a few times, glanced at the fire/gun on the shoulder of the guard beside him, and seemed to understand Xiao Ye's plan, and suddenly his eyes lit up a little; The big killing weapon in Xiao Ye's hand, he had to bow his head and form an alliance earlier, and now it seems that he is going to take it out again.

If he had enough fire/gun pellets in his hand, he might have started to fight back against Moon Spring.

Two months ago, Wedge Hemu tried to buy the big guy that could continuously spray projectiles at a high price, as well as the artillery that was easy to carry, but under Xiao Ye's instructions, Eagle Claw Fort just let him get over his eyes again, Huang Hanxiang resolutely did not sell it, and he didn't sell it for any money.

can understand Xiao Ye's bottom line, Wedge Hemu admits that he will not betray his hole cards, but he is a little dissatisfied with Xiao Ye's delay in coming to reinforcements; As a result, he was still halfway back to the tribe, and a trace of murderous intent against Xiao Ye flashed in his mind, which made him have a splitting headache, and he howled according to his head for a whole night.

Wedge Hemu, who didn't understand the truth of the period, was now afraid, he couldn't imagine that an alliance with a Ming person would cause the punishment of the immortal heaven, and he wanted to tear up the idea of forming an alliance, it was as uncomfortable as being struck by lightning, and the legend turned out to be true.

Soon after the alliance was formed, Wedge Hegu had such a similar tragic situation, at that time he thought that his younger brother had a headache, and it turned out that he also had bad thoughts about Xiao Ye.

Wedge Hemu, who couldn't hold a resentful thought of Xiao Yexing, kept sending messengers for help, and later even Wedge Hegu was sent out, and he took the elite cavalry of the tribe, taking advantage of the convenience of being familiar with the terrain, robbing grain and attacking at night, and resisting the encirclement and suppression of the bald Luo cavalry and the Hami cavalry with all his might.

Two thousand elite cavalry and three thousand subsidiary cavalry, five thousand people lost most of them, although the biggest casualties were the cavalry of the affiliated tribes, but to say that they were not distressed is false.

Relying on the slippery nature of the head snake, he escaped the wedge hemu who was besieged and killed several times, and when he was exhausted, he finally waited for his brother's return.

Counting the time, he has been entangled with the Tile Thorn Cavalry for a month, and it is time for a duel.

After thinking for a while, Wedge Hemu took out the seal letter on his body and summoned his henchmen to guard, "Go, send a war letter to the Bald Character Luo Subordinates, five days later, at noon, all the warriors of the West Wedge He tribe will wait for the battle on the Sheep's Foot Slope, and the battle will be won or lost, if you lose, my West Wedge He tribe will be attached to the Bald Word Luo Division,"

"The leader of this swear to the immortal heaven that the battle will not end," Wedge Hemu, who gritted his teeth, jumped with green tendons on his neck, and threw the seal letter out.

The gloomy face of the guard knelt down and took the seal letter with both hands, and after kowtowing to Wedge Hemu Peng Peng, he got up and led the war horse, jumped on the war horse and galloped away without saying a word.

The messenger who reported the news to the Galen tribe was also sent later.

"The West Wedge He tribe will not perish," Wedge Hemu, who muttered to himself, clenched the scimitar in his waist, "Order, turn into the Sheep's Hoof Slope tonight,"

Yotei slope is a slope in the northeast corner of the oasis, the terrain is high in the east and west, this large gentle slope area, covers an area of thousands of acres, the terrain is flat, and then cross the large Gobi desert in the north, and enter the Altai Mountain Mountains.

The slope runs from east to west, with scattered weeds, a fork on the lowland, and a gradually widening ditch/crevice overgrown with thorny shrubs.

The terrain is flat, but the south and east are rocky ravines, and only the cavalry due west can charge quickly.

A group of Hami cavalry guarding here was a patrol for the sentinels, and if the wedge ran here, they would leave to report to the Waspurs, so the more than 2,000 tired cavalry of the wedge did not have much effort to drive away the Hami cavalry and occupy the sparse grassland to the east of the slope.

Wedge Hemu rested peacefully on the Sheep's Foot Slope for three days, and during these three days, except for scattered shadows moving on the ground in the distance, there was no sign of the large force of the Bald Luobu and the Hami cavalry.

Obviously, they asked Wedge Hemu to concentrate his forces as much as possible, and he didn't want to chase and fight anymore, which Wedge Hemu knew in his heart.

If the battle of Yotei Po fails, then he will have to die here, and his two women and three children, as well as a few old men, will not survive this month; The same will be true of my brother's big tent, and the same will be true of the customs on the steppe.

This kind of ending, he doesn't want to live to see, so he can only hope for reinforcements.

In the middle of the night, when a few pillars of light flashed at the bottom of the eastern slope, Wedge Hemu's rangers led Xiao Ye's reinforcements up the slope.

After seeing Xiao Ye, Wedge Hemu, who didn't say a word, pulled his stout brother to kneel on the ground, kowtowed respectfully nine times, and presented his scimitar with both hands.

Xiao Ye, who was smiling, took the scimitar that symbolized submission, handed it to the guards casually, stepped forward to help the two grassland leaders, and waved his hand to let the sergeant lead a white horse; The cold light flashed, the blade was over the neck, and the sturdy white horse stood there trembling, and some tribal cavalry took herbs, waiting for the next step to plug the wound.

The guards took three bowls of fishy horse blood, handed them to Xiao Ye, Wedge Hemu, and Wedge Bone, and after the three of them swore to the sky, they drank the warm blood in a big gulp.

As long as the battle of Yotei Po is undefeated this time, the Galen tribe and the West Wedge tribe have formed a blood alliance, and the Galen tribe is the leader of the alliance, and in the future, they can even invite troops to the West Wedge He Department to attack other tribes together, and they also have the right to decide on the seizure.

To put it mildly, the West Wedge Hebu is the younger brother of the Galen tribe.

The temperature on the grassland was cold in the morning and evening, and when the early morning sun shone on the slope of the sheep's feet, the wedge wood lying in the tent of the barracks was awakened by the sound of iron tools colliding outside.

Wedge Hemu, who suddenly opened his eyes, instinctively withdrew his hand to touch the scimitar in his waist, and his eyes fell on the earthy yellow tent, making his movements stagnate, and his eyes gradually sobered up.

The sound of hurried footsteps outside, it was obvious that there were sergeants patrolling, and he was still very safe.

Getting out of the tent, Wedge Hemu looked at the two guards at the door, and then looked at the continuous patches of tents in the four corners, and couldn't help but throb slightly; Not far away, there was still snoring in those tents, and the sergeants patrolling outside were all Xiao Ye's men.

In the distance to his left, a large banner stood up, the black wolf flag fluttered in the wind, and outside a large tent under its banner, those black-clothed guards were like two rows of wooden stakes, and their hands pressed short knives around them.

It seems that there are fewer of these black-clad guards, but who cares.

On the periphery of the big tent, more than 30 Xiao Ye's personal guards, carrying rifles on their backs, faintly formed a line of defense, and the tent of the big leader was strictly defended at the highest point of the slope.

At this time, Xiao Ye had already practiced the knife technique twice outside the big tent, and he was naked, and the two guards were holding a big scoop and pouring pure water on him from the top of his head, which made him scream loudly.

After washing, Xiao Ye returned to the tent and changed into a pair, pulled his long hair on his head, and walked out of the tent with his boots on his feet; Took a box of cans handed by the guard, the dagger was stuck in the piece of meat, and Xiao Ye chewed it heavily.

At the foot of the hill, in the camp on the left, the sergeants had put away their tents, and a group of sergeants stood in the trenches dug last night, resting and eating with their rifles.

Aman's 1,000 cavalry were to guard the edge of the slope on the left, and on the wider slope on the opposite side, they were to guard the flanks.

The fork on the right, except for a few dozen or so sergeants hiding in their respective dirt pits, where no trenches were dug and behind them was Wedge Hemu's camp.

However, the two objects that the fifty or so sergeants were waiting for, covered with tarpaulins, were of no use.

Seeing that Wedge Hemu came to ask for peace, Xiao Ye was not hypocritical, asked the knife to bring a box of canned food, and motioned for him to eat with him, and there was still time to drink tea after eating.

"My lord, at noon today, if you want to come to the bald Luobu and Hami cavalry, you are about to arrive," holding the heavy can, Wedge Hemu had no appetite at all, and looked sad.

"This battle, under my command, you take your men and horses, guard the fork in the road, and you can't attack without an order," Xiao Ye pointed to the fork in the sheep's hooves in the distance, "Attack without authorization, and bear the consequences,"

"Yes," Xiao Ye's unsympathetic words made Wedge Hemu a spirit, and then looked at the fork in the road that no one had passed, and suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly bowed and retreated; If their subordinates trespass, I'm afraid they will be the first to be killed or injured.

The thunderbolt that can jump up from the grass and explode, he has suffered a big loss.

As soon as Wedge Hemu walked away, Qin Shishi hurriedly ran over, and was about to kneel on one knee when he approached, but he was blocked by the cans thrown by Xiao Ye, and stood there with low eyebrows, "Report to the big leader, the trench is rested, the minefield is arranged, and the scout hasn't replied yet,"

"Well, this time the pro-guard team and your night owl flag team are under your command, remember, you can only remember it for a long time if you hate the wild wolf," holding the kettle with hot tea, Xiao Ye glanced at this guy, "Today, if you don't have a big Jingguan, you will go to Wang Dali to report to work, the work in the mill will definitely make you lose a layer of weight,"

"Deta, you can just take a look," Qin Shishi, who had a solemn face, ran away with the can, running fast with small steps.

Two hundred personal guards, five hundred people in the Night Owl Banner Team, most of them are one-color rifles, plus two heavy machine guns, and two lightning guns, if he can't stop the impact of the Tile Spur people, there is no need for Xiao Ye to say it, he will not have the face to stay in the Night Owl Banner Team.

The five big carts that were buried jumped thunder were enough for the bald Luo cavalry to drink a pot.

The knife standing behind Xiao Ye, the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, and a trace of coldness flashed at the corners of his mouth.

"Woo, woo," said the heavy sound of the horn at the camp of the West Wedge, and more than a hundred firemen/gunners were assembled, and nearly two thousand cavalrymen led their horses and began to reorganize their weapons, joining the formation of defending the northern fork.

As if there was an agreement, a long horn sound was also heard in the Gobi Desert in the west, smoke and dust rolled in, and a blood-colored flag was faintly visible.

The Wathorns, who had made an appointment with the West Wedge Hebu, finally arrived at Yotei Slope.

In the binoculars, the meandering brigade of war horses gradually approached the Sheep's Foot Slope, and the bald Luo Bu wearing iron thorn helmets and the Hami cavalry wearing fur hats appeared in groups on the Gobi Desert five miles away.

The five or six headquarters scouts who had rushed back had already run back to the bottom of the slope, and on the side of the trench, a sergeant waved a small flag in his hand, ordering the scouts to come up along the edge of the hill.

Pedaling, pedaling, pedaling, the sergeant sent by Qin Shishi, before he ran close to the periphery of the big tent, was driven back by the guards with a black face, there are heralds here in the big tent, and the letter sentry sent back by the scout, Qin Shi can receive it, Xiao Ye is naturally not too late.

With the appearance of the bald Luobu and Hami cavalry, the sergeants on the slope of Yangtei naturally entered a state of readiness, and at the top of the slope on the right fork, two machine guns and two mine guns quickly took off the cover.

Although Hao Yongliang did not come this time, the two chiefs under him were veterans who had fired dozens of shells.

Standing on the excavated dirt bag, a chief held a telescope, and saw the pack horse on the opposite side from a distance, pulling five bright bronze cannons into his sight.

"Peng, Peng," the two shells flew out from the muzzle of the cannon raised high, with green smoke, and with a trajectory visible to the naked eye, it crossed a dozen huge arcs, and smashed into the bronze cannon position with a whistling sound.

"Boom, boom," a hundred paces away from the bronze artillery position, two clouds of black ash smoke and dust were lifted, and the bald Luo Bu gunner on the opposite side suddenly increased his speed, and the artillery was placed on the hastily dug earth platform.

"Puff, puff," the lightning cannon with the angle of fire adjusted began to fire rapidly, and a series of more than a dozen shells were quickly stuffed into the chamber by the gunner, and they continued to be fired, stimulating pungent pungent smoke.

"Boom, boom," a bronze cannon brought by the bald word Luobu, as soon as the gun position was built, it was directly blown up by the cannonballs falling from the sky, rolling over and smashing into more than a dozen gunners, and the other bronze cannons fell horizontally and vertically on the gravel ground.

This style of doing things without saying hello directly made the bald commander Luo Bu on the other side crazy, and he didn't think about why Wedge Hemu had the artillery in his hand, but simply dropped the bulky artillery and urged the horn of the charge.

"Woo, woo, woo," in the mournful howl, the blood-colored banner leaned forward slightly, and the bald Luo cavalry's eyes suddenly turned red, and they didn't have time to calm the wheezing of the war horse, and they pulled out their scimitars and horn bows one by one, and screamed.

The two armies faced each other, and this kind of posture of clamoring for battle was not affected by the falling shells at all, but the comrades who were knocked down by shrapnel, and the blood sprayed made the blood of the bald Luo cavalry rise.

Wedge Hemu rode on his war horse, squinting at the two small cannons that kept firing cannonballs a dozen paces away, and his heart was already extremely shocked; But now he understands that the original big leader did not show his real strength at all earlier, otherwise the West Wedge Hebu would have disappeared.

"In this battle, we must fight the blood of the West Wedge Hebu," the wedge Hemu who was drumming out of his cheeks, clenched the handle of the scimitar tightly, and was secretly ruthless in his heart.

As the blood-colored banner waved, "Wow," like an avalanche, the bald Luobu cavalry, who had been holding back their strength, turned into two arrows and rushed towards the sheep's hoof slope unhurriedly; It is necessary to reach a place within four miles of the distance before the war horse can accelerate to the highest charge, and the war horse does not have so much stamina if the charge is early.

The Hami cavalry, who followed closely, also blushed, and chased after him with a shout, raising his scimitar higher in his hand.

The bald commander who remained under the banner raised his chin arrogantly with his own guards, "Rush, rush up, kill the damned West Wedge Hebu, kill them all,"

With the shouting of the commander, the sound of the battle horn became more terrible, urging the six thousand cavalry to speed up their horses more and more. The artillery on the opposite side stopped firing for a while, and the entire grassy slope east of the Sheep's Foot Slope was silent.

In the north of the starting position of the Bald Luobu, in the mountains three miles away, in a birch forest, ten black-clothed guards squatting in the bushes under the trees had already packed up their weapons and horse harnesses, and the chief of the group was holding a telescope and carefully looking at the commander of the Bald Luobu on the opposite side.

"Let's go, feed the mosquitoes all night, let's move too," ten soldiers led their horses down the woods on high ground, and they had to hike through two rolling hills before they could ride their horses and gallop.
