The population of more than 7,000 people of the Bamtso tribe disappeared, and as those Mongolian women and children were taken away by transport vehicles, the smell of the Bamtso tribe in the northwest grassland disappeared outside the big ditch deep in the Gobi Desert.

The realistic ending after the tribe on the grassland was annexed was not so simple, but the patriarch with a steady mind couldn't imagine that the fate of himself and his clansmen would be gone forever.

To Xiao Ye's surprise, no living Han slaves were found in the Bamtso tribe; This was a common occurrence among the Mongol tribes who returned to their summer pastures, and in less than two months, Jinong would reward a large number of newly captured slaves.

The survival of Han Chinese slaves on the grassland was extremely difficult, and no one knows how many died in a winter.

The situation reported by Yu Shan when he came back, Xiao Ye just frowned and nodded, he couldn't make much waves in his heart, he had limited troops now, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to rescue the Han slaves.

Li Shuo, who was commanding from afar on the scene, no longer cared about anything else, he had now led 4,000 cavalry to the old camp of the Bamucuo tribe, where he wanted to start building trench defensive positions, there were many things to deal with, and it was too late to reminisce about the power of the "little black house".

But Daozi and Chehekhashan fought shirtless in public in order to compete for the Mongolian woman, which made Li Shuo angry, and the battle camp of Dao belonged to Xiao Ye, as long as he did not disobey military orders, he could not easily punish him.

"Pull them all away, I don't care, pull down the Eagle Claw Fort and let the adults deal with it," called Yu Shan's chief, Li Shuo simply gave the order, just as the transport truck was going to pull back those belongings and leather goods, then it would be good to run a few more times, see if they dare to fight in front of the adults, it would be a shame to get home.

In the face of the arrival of the Mongol Tatars who did not know how many reinforcements came, Li Shuo did not dare to be careless, and on the gentle slope of the camp of the Bamtso tribe, the area of the defense area was reduced, and two circular trenches separated by 100 steps, 3,000 paces, and the cavalry brandished their shovels and began to dig frantically.

In addition to Chikhhasan with a thousand cavalry, guarding against the enemy in the distance, outside the trenches to the west and south, the sergeants were also digging dense horse traps, and most of the 500 jumping mines brought by the transport vehicles were sprinkled on important areas.

Xiao Ye has personally verified the excavation method of the ring fortifications twice, and the effect has been seen by the guards, and Li Shuo has also firmly remembered it in his heart.

This is also what Xiao Ye values Li Shuo, if he doesn't understand it, he is not afraid, what he is afraid of is that he doesn't want to learn, otherwise there will be so many sergeants who will be cut off by the Tartars in the future that no one can stand it.

Ten lightning artillery positions lined up in a row were built in the center of the circular fortifications, and they were also the location of the Chinese army under Li Shuo's command.

On the three-foot-high sand platform, ten Makqin weapons were placed horizontally, and if it weren't for the insufficient reserve of machine gun ammunition chains in Xiao Ye's hand, he would have even extracted more heavy machine guns.

Looking at it, at the north and south ends of the two-mile-long circular fortification, the two rat-shaped chariots placed made Li Shuo can't help but win with pride, if he was broken through the defense by the Tartar torrent iron horse, then he would have nothing to say if he died here.

Just as the camp of the Bamtso tribe was busy, the scouts of the Night Owl Banner Team hurriedly found Qin Shi and pulled him to whisper.

"What, the Dead Man's Pit?" Qin Shishi, who was covered in dust, suddenly burst into a shout, threw away the military shovel in his hand, and took the two centurions on his horse and ran straight to the depression in the northwest of the hill.

Soon, Li Shuo also received the news and rushed over on horseback, Wang Meng, Daozi and the centurion under Hao Yongliang put down the important things in their hands and drove over with their personal guards.

In the northwest corner of the enclosure for cattle and sheep was a large, remote mountain depression, where weeds flourished, and the hills on three sides were so cold that no sunlight could be seen, and a group of scouts on horseback surrounded the depression at a distance.

Li Shuo, who rushed to the mountain valley, saw Qin Shi, whose face was full of haze, leading the two older hunters out of the grass one person high.

"Stone, is it really inside?" Li Shuo jumped off the horse and asked uncertainly.

"Made, what a fucking bastard," Qin Shi burst out directly, his eyes were red, and his teeth were squeaking and squeaking, "You go and take a look, I'm going to repair the fortifications, Lao Tzu and the wild Tartars are not finished,"

Qin Shi rode away, and Li Shuo and the others, led by the scouts, burrowed into the depths of the gloomy grass, where the bones piled up into a hill, making them creepy.

This can be seen from the hair bundles and rotten clothes, which is obviously the corpse pile of Han slaves, which solves the doubts in Li Shuo's heart, and also makes him change his heartfelt approval from the execution of military orders to the means of solving the Bamucuo tribe.

"Eighteen, go and arrange a team of 100 people in the war barracks, come here to take a look, and give a stick of incense to the Han people who died on the grassland," looking at Yang Eighteen heavily, Li Shuo said softly.

"Okay," Yang Eighteen couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, turned around and left. Only those old guards looked at the grass silently, and a trace of luck flashed in their eyes, they all came to Xiao Ye's side from the grassland.

In the Gobi Desert, which is more than 200 miles away, for a transport vehicle that is not very fast, the distance of one way is only two hours, and the only thing that troubles the sergeants of the Shenche Battalion is that when replacing the battery rod three times on the way, they must be extremely cautious, so as not to be pricked by a stinger and cause trouble.

When the two transport trucks full of the women of the Bamucuo tribe rushed back to the Eagle Claw Fort, the cars that came from Madao Stone Fort and Gujia Fort had all been concentrated outside the Eagle Claw Fort.

Ten assault vehicles and transport vehicles of different sizes and colors were quickly loaded with ammunition and provisions, and the other half of Hao Yongliang's artillery team took advantage of the morning light at dawn to once again plunge headlong into the Gobi Desert, which was full of verdant vines and grass.

Hao Yongliang took away the remaining ten lightning guns, as well as a large number of shells.

When the convoy returns, not only will it have to bring back the remaining women, but the "little black house" will also be dismantled and loaded into trucks and transported to 200 miles west of the Yangjiabao construction site, where there will be 1,000 conscripts from the Jiazi battalion, led by a team of guards, armed to guard this mobile raw material collection warehouse.

There, a steady stream of sulfur, saltpeter, and fierce fire oil from the Bailonghu and Sichih tribes were sent into the "little black house" that could never be filled. Compared with the seizures obtained by Li Shuo after the war, Xiao Ye paid more attention to stable raw material channels.

Bundles of leather goods were pushed into the black room of Eagle Claw Fort by the thirty old soldiers, and Xiao Ye, who was standing on the top of the fort and watching the convoy leave, turned to go downstairs, when he suddenly paused, and the corners of his mouth once again set up a smile.

"Herald, order Ma Dao Stone Fort, inform Kang Hongyuan to speed up the pick-up,"

"After the transport truck comes back, send a larger one to Madao Stone Fort, load those wheels and pull them to the Jin family's shop in Xibao, and there is also a bicycle," called a guard, Xiao Ye whispered, gesturing from time to time.

In the civilian catalog, two new goods appeared again, rubber wheels and bicycles, and Xiao Ye carefully watched the demonstration of the picture in his mind, and suddenly had a new idea.

It's time for those merchants to see the strength of the barracks, for the merchants in Gansu Town, he really can't look down on the buckle rope, I'm afraid that these merchants will also follow their old path.

At the southern foot of the Yinshan Mountain Range, the commander of Jinong's personal guard received a harrier letter from the Juyanhu tribe, and the right Gu Da also knelt outside Jinong's golden tent.

"What, there is an unknown firearms army, attacking and occupying the Bamtso tribe?"

"Simon Xiaoye, the leader of the Galen tribe, brazenly sent troops to attack the horse team of the right Guda, and suffered heavy casualties?" The bad news that the two had entered the Golden Horde made the little prince Jinong, who was planning to go south, furious and kicked to death the Han Jiao/Niang who was serving.

Summoning the embarrassed right Guda into the tent, the little prince Jinong, who was over forty years old, looked at Xiao Ye's reply, and once again inquired in detail about the defense of the troops in Eagle Claw Fort; As the right bone of the anti-water and became Xiao Ye's minion, of course, he wants to tell the story of Eagle Claw Fort as a dangerous place of bad water.

Eagle Claw Fort is now within a radius of fifty miles, and the thorny emerald vines are spreading rampantly everywhere, and the trend is unstoppable, and the words of the right bone are not fake; It's just that Xiao Ye's rat-shaped chariot, the fierce on-board machine gun, he didn't mention it at all, and dug a big hole for Jinong.

As a hegemon on the grassland, Jinong's intelligence system is not a joke, the Galen tribe mastered by Xiao Ye has a large number of firearms, and the little prince already knows, but the specific number, how much it performs, and how many fire/gunners it is, can only be estimated.

"How can this be reasonable, arrogant to the extreme," slapped on the wooden case, Jinong, who was dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, shook the pigtails of his head, and his triangular eyes showed a thick evil spirit, and directly tore Xiao Ye's letter to pieces.

A small Mongolian tribe was taken by the Han people to become the patriarch in power, he didn't care, he could be crushed with his fingers, but he dared to kill and injure his two captains one after another, and also killed the henchmen who went to pardon, which was unforgivable.

This also sent a provocative letter, what will hunt in Yanhu, obviously want to be on an equal footing with himself, he simply wants to be exterminated.

"The Bamtso tribe was attacked, where was he waiting for the king? The despicable Han people can shake the king's great affairs, "still unwilling to face up to the Jinong of the Galen tribe, arrogantly waved his hand, "Spread the harrier letter to the golden order, the tribes near Juyan Lake, send their headquarters to the Bamucuo tribe to kill all the tribesmen of the Galen tribe, and base the Jingguan to set an example,"

"Tai Tingqi, you personally go to Juyan Lake, command all the tribes of Juyan Lake, and you must return in mid-June to escort the king to the south to Datong," After thinking about it, Jinong threw down a gold medal and sent the commander under his tent.

"If you get the order, the minions will definitely kill the Galen tribe and give Jinong a vent," the overjoyed captain Tai stabbed Qi, bowed down to the end, took the gold medal and left the tent. This opportunity to scavenge for benefits, Jinong naturally gave the deployment of die-hard loyalists.

"Go out, get thirty lashes, and next time you have this matter, cut off your dog's head," kicked the right Guda who was kneeling on the ground, and Jinong went to the back account with hatred to find a woman to vent.

"Xie Jinong Kaien," said the right Guda, who did not dare to raise his head, lying on the ground and shouting loudly, and prostrate on all fours and exited the golden tent; He really didn't dare to raise his head, for fear that the resentment and disdain in his eyes would be seen through by the thoughtful Jinong.

Jinong, who is high on the throne, can sit on the throne for ten years, and his ruthlessness and heart cannot be underestimated.

The speed of the harrier letter was more than five or six times faster than that of the pigeon letter, and before the commander Tai Shuqi led the five hundred personal guards, and had not yet arrived at the edge of the desert on the west bank of the Yellow River, thousands of miles away at Juyan Lake, the tribal chiefs had already received an edict from Jinong.

For a while, the Mongolian men who were barking wildly jumped on their horses, and a large number of Mongolian horse teams rushed out from the tribes and rushed to the hills and valleys where the Bamtso tribe was located, in order to reap some benefits first; As one of the richest tribes under the Jinong tent, the Bamucuo tribe is now suddenly in trouble, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune.

As for the life and death of the herdsmen of the Bamtso tribe, no one cares, but they care about the cattle and sheep, the population and women, and the goods.

A team of 1,000 Mongolian horses rushed to the outside of the camp of the Bamtso tribe, and sure enough, they saw that the flag in the camp had been replaced by an unfamiliar black-bottomed wolf flag, and the Mongolian man led by him was ecstatic and waved the iron rod in his hand, "Rush, rush up, and it is a great achievement to kill it,"

Boom, the horse team that raised puffs of smoke and dust on the grass soon plunged headlong into the minefield set up by Li Shuo, and the smoke exploded, shrapnel flew sideways, and after the thousand horse team broke through the horse traps all over the ground, there were less than 500 people left.

"Kill, avenge the clansmen," the 100 Mongols who rushed to the front saw the sergeant hiding under the grass, with only a head exposed, their red eyes were about to bulge out.

"All of them, all of them," the sergeants in the trenches with fire/guns, the guards in the chariots, and the Sichih cavalrymen who were watching from a distance with their horses, watched with amazement as they watched the few wild Tartars as they were torn to pieces by the fire of four interlaced machine guns.

The scalding shells were covered with a thick layer under the gravel platform, and the centurion, who commanded the machine guns and lightning guns, rarely did not angrily scold the machine gunners who wasted bullets, but turned a blind eye, and waited until the bullet chains in the machine guns were gone, and then waved his hand and gave the order to stop shooting.

The gunfire stopped, the smoke cleared, two teams of sergeants carried fire/guns out of the trenches, one team went to clean up the battlefield, put the corpses on ropes, dragged them by horses into a distant puddle and threw them down, and one team of sergeants carried iron boxes and laid out the jumping mines one by one.

The sergeants who were taken by the officers to take turns to see the mountain of the corpses of the Han slaves now have a visceral urge to fight the Night Tartars. However, the Tartar horses in front of them couldn't rush the crossfire of the machine guns at all, and they could only wait patiently for more Night Tartars to come.

After four successive battles in three days, the Mongol Tartar cavalry became afraid, and only watched the camp of the Bagmtso tribe from afar, and no longer easily rushed up to die.

Eagle Claw Fort West Fort, in the backyard of the Jin family's shop, Xiao Ye sat in the courtyard, while sipping fragrant tea, while talking quietly with Jin Sanniang, who was smiling and groaning, in the open space not far from them, the carpenters of the two logistics teams were loading two thick black rubber wheels with iron rods and bone beams and putting them on the carriage.

The deacons of several shops gathered around looked at the waist-thick wheel, and debated whether it was better than the iron-inlaid wooden wheel, or not at all.

However, the two large wooden wheels that have been unloaded to the side do not seem to be as strong as the black wheels, although they have not been seen before, they are just new goods taken out by Xiao Ye, which aroused the curiosity of the merchants. i

The carriage, which had been replaced with new wheels, was soon filled with heavy coal, and the long and wide body was still stacked with hundred-pound straw bags.

"Fifteen hundred catties," after weighing the coal, the two horses pulled the horse, and steadily opened out of the back door of the courtyard, and drove smoothly to the military compound on the gravel ground, without the ups and downs that everyone usually had.

The carriage stopped, and a guard came up, pulled out the hunting knife he had with him, and stabbed it on the hard wheels.

The load capacity is a little more than that of the wooden wheeled car, which is not dominant, but the obvious car walks very steadily, and it is not afraid of stabbing and axes, which is rare.

"Lord Simon, how much does this wheel cost?" The deacon of the Liang family, who was anxious, ran to Xiao Ye and bowed down to investigate, but Xiao Ye did not respond with a smile, but waved his hand, and the guard Li Shan pushed out an iron frame from the side room, on which were placed two rubber tires that were several times thinner.

"This is a bicycle, you can run fast when you step on it," in Xiao Ye's patient explanation, Li Shan stepped on the car quickly, stepped on the pedals and spun in circles in the yard, and rang the bell a few times from time to time.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells," the crisp ringtones, the flirting merchants itched their hearts and felt uncomfortable, this kind of object called bicycles, obviously let them see new business opportunities; Seeing that the huge Ximen Stone Fort is about to be built, the use of bicycles in the stone fort is self-evident, not to mention that the rear frame of this kind of car can also support people and goods.

In the amazement of everyone, Li Shan proudly pinched the brake and stood on the ground with one foot, looking full of style, but the swords and guns on his body ruined the scenery.

"The wheels of the carriage are a pair of 100 taels of silver, and the bicycle is 200 taels," the price was reported, Xiao Ye took Jin Sanniang's little hand, got up and went to the living room, he didn't mind the muttering complaints of the merchants behind him.

Compared with wooden wheels, this kind of rubber tires are more than three times more expensive, and there is no comparison of bicycles, Xiao Ye believes that once the merchants accept the new goods, the price will not be a problem, isn't there a friendly price, for example, the purchase and sale of the Jin family's shop, they will get the lowest price.

You must know that in the trading of the Jin family's caravan, there are heavy stones for Xiao Ye, as well as a large amount of rice, which is the reason for Xiao Ye's approval, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the merchants who brought a cart of coarse porcelain vat gold and silver jewelry.
