The night was like ink, and in the military quarters of Eagle Claw Fort, the pardon decree that had been hot for many days by Xiao Ye was thrown on his face by Xiao Ye. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With his hands tied upside down, the right Guda, who was kneeling on the ground, held his head high stiffly, his eyes stared at the young man in front of him, his eyes were torn with resentment, and the hemp rope tied horizontally on his mouth, if it weren't for the guards behind him pressing his shoulders, this thing would definitely jump up and fight with Xiao Ye.

Ignoring the right Guda who was struggling with a whining, Xiao Ye, who was sitting on the edge of the fire kang on his side, looked at this rough-looking Tartar with cold eyes, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why was the Ming Dynasty bullied by this kind of person and didn't dare to cross the side wall.

Under the bright light, Xin Rulin was sitting in a wheelchair, Wang Ziliang was drinking tea in the corner, Liu Shuihe and Hao Yongliang were standing on both sides of the adults, all looking at the so-called general under the Jinong tent.

Seeing that the adult waved his hand, the guard willingly dragged the right bone out and pressed it side by side with the six tartars outside in the small courtyard.

Xiao Ye, who was too lazy to inquire about the situation of the Tartars, took out the iron box, got up and said with a smile, "Let's go, the big drama is about to begin," This kind of mid-level first-grade powerful pill with a sword and shield emblem is not cheap, he wants to try it to see what the effect is, for the captive.

The seven strong Tartar soldiers, who only resisted for a moment in the hands of the guards, were pinched open, and a pill was directly discharged into their mouths, and then they received a heavy blow to their backs, hitting their waists all the way and pills down their stomachs.

In less than a stick of incense, seven Tatar men like good grandsons knelt at Xiao Ye's feet, not only did the intense pain just now not make them languishing, but they were much more energetic, and the injuries on their bodies quickly recovered.

"The slave right Guda, the six henchmen kowtow to the master," a strange red light flashed in his eyes, and the right Guda purred a string of Tatar words, kowtowing to Xiao Ye; The six henchmen behind him were equally fanatical on the stucco floor, smashing their heads to the ground.

With Atta by his side as an interpreter, Xiao Ye happily raised his hand, "Get up,"

Pointing to Wang Ziliang beside him, "Right Guda, in the future, this Wang Xiucai will be your boss, and his words are the words of this leader,"

"If he lets you die, you will have to cut yourself immediately," Xin Rulin's extremely indifferent voice made Xin Rulin look sideways, but he was even more shocked by Xiao Ye's domineering methods.

The next day, the right Guda, who had been returned to the weapon, rode away with his henchmen, and he took with him a letter written by Xiao Ye to Jinong, "If you want to fight, then you will fight, and Juyan Lake will hunt in half a month," this fourteen words, thinking that Jinong would jump up in anger.

A black rat-like chariot followed behind the right Guda, with an earthy yellow transport vehicle, went directly through the vast Gobi wilderness, and rushed to Juyan Lake, where a hidden scout post was established.

Juyan Lake is on the edge of the Gobi Desert, 200 miles northwest of Qingfeng Valley, where to the north is separated by the lake, is a large area of rich grassland pastures, and it is also the territory of the original wolf tile, which is now just being taken back by Jinong.

Right Guda left, and Xiao Ye immediately issued a military order, summoning 1,000 cavalry from the Xichihe tribe, mobilizing 2,000 soldiers/spearmen and 1,000 cavalry, and began to assemble at Eagle Claw Fort.

A large number of firearms and military materials were transported out of Madao Stone Fort, and this time, Xiao Ye took out eighty percent of the cost of pressing the bottom of the box.

"My lord, that Jinong will not agree to fight us in Juyan Lake, he will definitely send troops to Eagle Claw Fort in advance," On the top floor of the stone fort, Xiao Ye squinted at the chariot in the distance, and Xin Rulin frowned beside him.

"He will, he will definitely wait for me in Juyan Lake, otherwise, Juyan Lake will become a no-man's land, and no matter how cunning the Tartars are, they will not be willing to give up that fertile pasture," Xiao Ye felt the oncoming cold wind, and raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, "Unless, he Jinong regards the tribes under his rule as grass mustard, then I admit it, and the big deal is to fight with it in Eagle Claw Fort,"

"The time and place are favorable, we have two of them, at most we have lost the capital," Xin Rulin did not persuade Xiao Ye's self-confidence, and then he found that this young officer was no longer willing to endure that inflated ambition.

The weapons pulled out of the Madao Stone Fort, the lightning cannons and heavy machine guns in it, were all equipped with Hao Yongliang's artillery team, this time, Xiao Ye did not want Jinong's territory, but the countless large and small tribes that he was loosely subordinate to.

The existence of these tribes can force the so-called Jinong to fight him in Juyan Lake. For this reason, Kang Hongyuan and they have not been in the cave to pull goods for several days.

Those countless herdsmen are the biggest gain in this battle, and it is also where his confidence lies, Xiao Ye even did not hesitate to consume a large number of battery rods.

Two days later, Eagle Claw Forts sent a roving chariot to escort back a newly produced transport vehicle from the Madao Stone Fort, and after merging with the two black transport vehicles of Eagle Claw Fort, it was loaded with four guards, and it was as fast as reaching the Gobi Desert where vines and grass were overflowing.

This transport vehicle driven by Yu Shan himself, although it looks no different from the other two, but the deputy commander Li Shuo sitting in the back seat of the car, and Yang Shibai in the front row, are enough to show that the car is loaded with ordinary weapons.

The transporter followed behind the chariot, hovering above the staggered vines and grasses, slowly making a faint humming sound, heading north on the Gobi Desert, where the cold wind was still cold, but no one could see it, and a fine iron pipe hidden half a foot deep underground under the Yushan transporter was also slowly/moving forward.

After closing the opportunity to pick up the goods for several days and accumulating enough resources, Xiao Ye gritted his teeth, and finally used a lot of resources from the processing center in the Shenshi Guantun Mountain to exchange for a new object that he was also afraid of, the "Mobile Raw Material Collection Warehouse", which was privately called the "Black House" by the guards, which was larger than the Black House in Eagle Claw Fort, more portable and could be temporarily assembled, Xiao Ye called it "Little Black House".

The "Little Black House" can be 200 miles away from the C-shaped stone mill, that is, it can be 200 miles away from the Eagle Claw Fort to collect raw materials, and it will not work if it is farther.

Therefore, the scout post built in the depths of the Gobi Desert, that is, within two hundred miles to the northwest, although the straight-line distance is not long, it is enough to make Xiao Ye satisfied.

You must know that Yangjiabao is two hundred miles to the west, and it can already be close to the edge of the eastern foot of Altai Mountain, Bailong Lake is close at hand, and the West Chikh tribe is not far away.

As a group of sergeants drove into Eagle Claw Fort, not only was the west fort full of sergeants, but even the military compound in Toho had set up barracks tents, and scouts scattered around kept coming and going.

Although the Tartars suddenly arrived at the Eagle Claw Fort, the four hundred warriors of the right Guda were all wiped out, and they were still seen by the caravan from a distance, and for a while, the transactions with the merchants presided over by Wang Gui were not only not disturbed, but became more active.

Of course, because Xiao Ye stopped picking up goods every day, the current dispatch of Xianjun's supply allows merchants to only get some inventory materials, but the IOUs issued by Mei'er's account office basically will not be refused.

In Jin Sanniang's shop, she received a batch of new goods from Wang Gui, and ten large iron boxes were full of 1,000 catties of snow-white fine salt, which attracted the jealous eyes of other merchants.

At the foot of Yin Mountain, the horn company camp, the neighing of war horses, the confident little prince Jinong, has gathered 40,000 iron horses, ready to start at the end of the month, the target is directly aimed at Datong, Yang and the nearby Wei jurisdiction, as well as Huai'an, Baiyangkou, in order to bloom on many roads, and force the Ming Jingshi.

At present, it is a time when the green and yellow are not connected, and it is a policy to be able to loot the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the real purpose of Jinong to deter the Ming court.

30,000 cavalry from various tribes, plus 10,000 cavalry from Jinong's lineage, people eat horses and chew, and the consumption of a day is a huge amount, Jinong can't wait too long, and a large number of rangers have already been sent out.

At the beginning of June, troops must be sent into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, this is the bottom line of Jinong, otherwise it is the consumption of food, and he can't afford it, this pressure is passed on to the people of the Ming Dynasty is the right way, and the tradition of the Tatars is to do business without capital.

At the end of May, the sky was clear, and within a radius of 100 miles of Juyan Lake, the returning Mongolian tribes drove a large herd of fat-losing cattle and sheep to sprinkle on the grassland along the northeast shore of the lake, like white clouds in the sky; Pastoral songs float on the green grassland, and it is a good time for grazing.

Although the endless Gobi Desert in the southwest has spread to the vicinity of Juyan Lake, it is not like the north and east shores, except for the biting cold wind, there is no trace of people at all.

The scout post built in the depths of the Gobi Desert is in a deep deep gravel ditch, and not far away a large area of sparse vine grass has spread to the front.

In the deep ditch in the north-south direction, a long dozen connected cowhide tents were erected, and between the gaps of the southernmost tents, you can see a layer of black iron plates inside, and hundreds of light iron plates are composed of "small black houses", like a thick giant snake, opening a big black mouth, which is carefully covered with a gray tent, and only one opening is facing the north end of the big ditch.

On both sides of the ditch, there were groups of black-clothed guards, patrolling back and forth in a staggered manner, and the chariots hovering a mile away, hidden in a high place to monitor the surrounding situation; There were more sergeants in khaki uniforms, setting up barracks tents in the distance.

In the gravel depression not far from the ditch, four black transports and two smaller earthy yellow transports drove over from the south again, unloading hundreds of war horses, and a sergeant stepped forward to pick them up and take them away.

Li Shuo, who was in charge of the military affairs of the Mongols in this attack, had more and more capital in his hands.

With six Shi team guards, Yang Eighteen and they had been lurking here for almost five days, if it weren't for the fact that they could sleep in the barracks tent, plus plenty of clean water and dry food, he wouldn't dare to imagine that they could lurk in this place for so many days.

In the low tent, Li Shuo sat on a soft cushion, with a bright hand lamp hanging on the side of his head, and Yang Shibai, Yu Shan, and a few other elders sat around, and on the wooden pier in the center, a simple map was paved.

The cold wind whistling outside, the hanging gusts of gravel, crackling on the tent, chewing hard jerky in his mouth, Li Shuo pointed to the location on the map, and said in a deep voice, "The situation has been clarified,"

"There are two large Mongolian tribes north of Juyan Lake, and there are three smaller ones in the east, each with more than 10,000 people, and the distance is only 100 miles, and the most important thing is that in the Tucheng on the west bank of Juyan Lake, there are relatives and relatives of Jinong."

"Your Excellency has an order, let's not move the earth city, but the other Tartar tribes, how many can be eliminated, the more the merrier,"

"According to Xin Xiucai's plan, the battle camp will be here tonight, we can first swallow a tribe of Tartars, lure the snake out of the hole, and try to kill their young cavalry,"

The reason why Xiao Ye chose Li Shuo instead of Yang 18 as the commander of this battle was because Li Shuo had been a personal guard for Xiao Ye and had not discounted military affairs, while Yang 18 was not as indifferent as him, and he still needed to be honed on the battlefield for a long time.

When night fell, the Shenche battalion in Yushan took the war battalions of Wang Meng and Qin Shishi, as well as the 2,000 cavalry of Daozi and Chehehashan, and half of Hao Yongliang's artillery team, to the depths of the Gobi Desert, 200 miles northwest of Eagle Claw Fort.

Standing on the cold Gobi Desert, Li Shuo wore a heavy iron helmet and watched the silent sergeants, carrying fires/guns and backpacks, and followed the transport vehicle to the north.

"Two big brothers, it's up to you two to be able to do it in front," smiled and looked at the heavily armed Wang Meng and Qin Shishi, Li Shuo patted the rat-shaped chariot beside him, "Two chariots, one for each of you,"

"Well, you just wait to receive the prisoners," Qin Shishi, who was grinning, opened the car door and got in, only Wang swept his eyes at the big ditch in the darkness, nodded coldly, and turned around and walked to the chariot on the side.

When the knives and their horses slowly left, Li Shuo ordered people to extinguish all the bonfires and go into the barracks tent to rest in turn.

Li Shuo, who stayed outside the ditch, sent almost all his troops, but he took two teams of sergeants and hid nearby. Commanding the enemy's actions at the front, he handed over Qin Shishi, who seemed to be arrogant, but was actually cautious, which was also Xiao Ye's personal explanation.

And he himself will perform the errand that no one wants to do.

One hundred and fifty miles northwest of Juyan Lake, there are large hills that stretch from north to south, although the height is less than ten zhang, and the length of the poplar tree is not more than half a poplar, but these hills have become a natural barrier for the Tartars to camp against the dry, cold and cold winds blowing from the west.

There are large wetland puddles here, and there are also Tatar tribes that have just returned, this large tribe with more than 10,000 people and 4,000 young and strong herdsmen, the Bamucuo tribe, has cattle and sheep according to the herd, a group of thousands of cattle, or a thousand sheep, the real owner of hundreds of herds of cattle and sheep is the mighty little prince Jinong in the south of Yinshan.

As a loyal subordinate tribe of Jinong, the Bamucuo tribe has to supply a large amount of meat, cheese, and dried milk to the Jinong cavalry every year, but there are not many healthy horses to shepherd, and war horses are provided by other tribes.

Just after the beginning of summer on the grassland, the weather is dry and cold during the day and cold at night, so that the herdsmen of the Bamtso tribe have gathered their cattle and sheep early, and each family has gone into the yurt to drink and fight, and only hundreds of sheepdogs are scattered around the cattle and sheep.

For the Tatars, this is a rather beautiful assembly, not only the cattle and sheep are about to give birth, but even the women of the tribe should also conceive your or my cubs.

At dawn, the Tatar tribe, which occupied a radius of more than ten miles, was silent in the darkness before dawn, and on the hills two miles away, Qin Shi stood on the top of the chariot, holding the shimmer mirror in his hand, silently looking at this huge tribe.

Behind him, on the slope below the hill, a large number of sergeants sat on their knapsacks, quietly drinking water and eating some dry food to relieve the fatigue of a long journey that had lasted almost a night.

"Hum," the bright light swept by, and another chariot rushed up the hill, and Wang Meng also caught up, and several tall horses behind him stumbled and ran up.

By the time Wang Meng, Daozi, Chihehashan, Yang Shiba, and Hao Yongliang all came to Qin Shishi's side, Qin Shishi's subordinates had already drawn the general terrain around the Bamucuo tribe with charcoal on paper.

Holding a hand lamp, Qin Shi pointed to the extremely simple map and glanced at the brothers on both sides, "The terrain here is quite open, but there are hills in the north and west, and the Tartar tribe is basically shrunk on the back of the hills,"

"Knife you and the cavalry of Chiheha Mountain, guard the south and east respectively, I will send the war battalion to assist and seal their escape route,"

Stay here to rest and wait until the next night to act again, Qin Shishi also thought, but these more than 4,000 people are hiding in the shallow hills, and he is even more unsure in his heart, so he can only act immediately.

"The transports and chariots will move immediately to temporarily block the Tartars' camp, but you also have to speed up, the Tartars will definitely run away if they are slow,"

"It will take time for us to get over the hill to the north, and the Tartars can't stop them from there," the knife said, glancing at the map.

"Let's run a few from there, let's not worry about it, it's a bad thing if you don't miss a single one," Qin Shishi put away the map with a smile, "As long as we can leave most of the Tartars, our military affairs this morning, as well as their cattle and sheep, will be a great achievement,"

"Buzz, buzz," the transport carts and chariots pulled the guards and artillery team away, and the sergeants and cavalry behind the hill got up again and carried bags and weapons weighing more than fifty pounds, and continued to drive under the piercing sound of copper flutes.

Under the leadership of the chariot in front, the transport vehicle began to pause for a hundred steps along the periphery of the Bagucuo tribe, unloaded the heavy machine guns and lightning guns, and pulled out a loose blockade line along the outskirts of the Bagso tribe, and sealed the tribe that was still asleep on the grassland within a radius of twenty miles.

The guards led by Yang 18 followed the heavy machine guns or lightning cannons in pairs, so as to protect these treasures in the eyes of adults.

And the remaining few guards sat in the chariot with Yang Shibai, and the two rat-shaped chariots, like the two big pincers of crabs, outflanked the hills to the north unhurriedly.

"Wangwang, Wangwang," the chariot had barely halfway around the Tartar camp when a shepherd dog emerged from the darkness and spotted the strange two big iron fellows, hissing and following the chariot to the left and right, barking loudly.

From the dimming mirror, Qin Shi saw the yurt of the tartar, and some people came out one after another, and they didn't feel that it was bad to scream.

"Xiao Liu, let Miao Biwu drive forward for a mile and stay on the spot," Putting down the shimmer mirror, Qin Shi turned his face and shouted at the herald.

"Let's just stay here, the whole car is ready to open fire, you can't get out of the car without an order," patting Yu Shan beside him on the shoulder, Qin Shi got up and stepped on the backpack on the floor, and squeezed behind, his goal was to hold a vehicle-mounted machine gun.

Soon, the chariot turned sideways on the slope, stopped, and the lookouts of the carriage were all opened.

"Click, click," skillfully flipped the roof switch, opened the hatch, flipped the heavy machine gun over, drilled out the Qin stone on the roof of half of his body, breathed the cold air vigorously, and unconsciously lifted his spirits, pulled out a bullet chain, opened the gun compartment, and quickly stuffed it into the chamber.

"Contact all the heralds nearby, we have leaked, and we will immediately enter the battle state, and the wild Tartars we encounter, although we can open fire," looking condescendingly at the dark Tartar camp, Qin Shi's excited voice sounded in the cold grassland.

The words that Xiao Ye learned from "On War" were passed on through the guards, and they were already the most popular sentences in the barracks, and the more he heard it, Qin Shi naturally learned it quite well.
