Chapter 58: Ambush

"Bang bang ......" and a few crisp gunshots once again broke the tranquility on the grassland in Saibei, so that the movement of one after another continued on the grassland many times today. Although it did not bring much damage to the Mongolian rebels in this detachment, the casualties of more than 20 people were nothing to the team of more than 1,000 people, but they made Dari Hachi extremely annoyed. In the past few months, the Mongolian bandit rebels have been smooth sailing, and Babu Zabu's subordinates are also full of confidence, and they are a little impatient after a slight setback.

"Arislan, you take a company to chase after you, and you must destroy this ranger!" Dari Hachi shook the mink coat on his body and said menacingly, this coat was copied from a rich merchant, its old owner had long since died under the guns of the bandits, and even his daughter had become Dari Hachi's ninth concubine.

"Piercing!" A Mongolian man with dirty pigtails turned over and got on his horse in response, and seventy or eighty cavalry rushed out, and he couldn't hold back his anger for a long time.

"Commander, why make a big fuss." Mo Rigen, the number two of this Mongolian bandit team, said with disdain: "Don't pay attention to them, we should quickly approach Duolun City and capture the richest city on the grassland." Wouldn't wasting time here fall for the tricks of the Han people! ”

"Humph! I'm making an example of killing a hundred, not giving those Han people a look, and I think I'm easy to provoke! Dazhha said coldly, he was extremely dissatisfied with the deputy sent to him by Babu Zab.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Commander!" Mo Rigen still smiled and said: "These rangers are slippery to death, and the grassland is so big, it is difficult to catch them." ”

"That's not a problem at all for my subordinates, just wait and see!" Darihachi said arrogantly: "In the future, when the prince of Zhenguo enters the family, Duolun City will be mine!" "Babu Zabu Minchu defected to Outer Mongolia and was named the Duke of Zhenguo by the Living Buddha Emperor, so his generals called him so.

"I'm afraid these Han people are not so easy to deal with, let's be careful!" Mo Rigen is obviously not as optimistic as Dari Hachi, last year's fiasco is still lingering in his heart, this year's so-called victory is actually not much gold, the defeat is just a few weak troops in the army, even if they can eliminate the official army in Recha and the two places, the Han people can still continue to transfer troops from the Guannai.

"Humph! Mo Rigen, you are too cowardly, the Han people used to suppress us only by relying on the guns in their hands. Dari Hachi waved the box cannon in his hand disdainfully and said: "Zhenguo Gong has obtained a large number of new arms from the Orientals, and now our equipment is no worse than that of the Han people, so I am afraid of what they will do!" ”

"Commander, do you really think that the Orientals are willing to help us really deal with the Han Chinese?" Mo Rigen shook his head and said, "They really use us as a bargaining chip to trade with the Han people, and once they get enough benefits from the Han people, they will not hesitate to abandon us!" ”

"So what? As long as we capture Duolun and control the entire Chahar grassland, no one dares to underestimate us! Dari Hachi said proudly, as if he saw the day when he ruled the north.

"Bang bang ......" disappeared for a moment before the gunfire rang out again, and three or two more people in the bandits' team were shot, and one of the unlucky people was shot directly in the head to see Changshengtian.

"Arislan, Arislan!" Darihachi blushed and yelled, but unfortunately no one answered a few times.

"Commander, Azhislan was sent by you to pursue the previous group of enemies, and he hasn't come back yet!" Mo Rigen kindly said, but his heart blossomed, this reckless man should suffer a little if he didn't listen to his own words.

"Jochi, Jochi!" Darihachi shouted, "Go and get that bastard back in Arislan!" ”…,

As soon as the words fell, the three or five horsemen rushed out, and after a while, Arislan led his men and galloped back dejectedly, and as soon as he got off his horse, he complained: "Commander, why did you call us back?" We almost caught the Han cavalry who attacked us. ”

"Scratch your fart, as soon as your kid walks on the front foot, people will touch it again. Killed one brother and wounded two or three! Before Dazhhachi could speak, Morrigan scolded angrily.

"Commander, commander, commander, I, I'll go again......" Arislan panicked when he saw Darihachi's gloomy face, and stammered, in fact, he didn't catch up with the opponent's cavalry at all just now, and he lost the trace of the other party after chasing it out for a short time.

"Forget it, let's go back!" Surprisingly, Dari Hachi waved his hand and said helplessly: "Be smart, don't let the Han cavalry get too close!" ”

"Piercing!" As if he had been granted amnesty, he hurriedly led his men to retreat, and the bandits' ranks accelerated their march, but the number of cavalry deployed in the outer police area also increased a lot, so that the officers and cavalry who came to harass not only worked in vain, but lost several horses, and could only return in vain.

"Rest in place!" Directly in front of a large small hill, the bandits stopped and ate and drank the dry rations and water they had brought with them, while a small group of cavalry continued to move slowly forward as scouts. This place is called Quanzitou, which is only thirty miles away from Duolun City, and it is only an hour's journey for the cavalry.

"Commander, the terrain here is dangerous, which is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry." Mo Rigen looked around and said in a low voice: "Why don't we bypass here and kill from the north of Duolun City!" ”

"No, it's getting late. If you take another detour, you won't be able to get to Duolun City tonight! Dari Hachi shook his head and said: "The soldiers are fast, our whereabouts have been exposed, and we must not delay any longer, otherwise those rich Han people in Duolun City will run out." ”

"It's just, it's just that if the other party sets up an ambush in front......" Mo Rigen said without saying a word, he always had an ominous premonition in his heart, maybe the shadow of the surprise attack last year was at work.

"Mo Rigen, you are really not ordinary coward!" Dari Hachi laughed and said, "But I hope what you say is true, as far as I know, there are only three battalions of officials in Duolun City, and one of them is a cavalry battalion dominated by our Mongols. If they really dare to send people to attack us, then wouldn't Duolun City be like a stripped woman waiting for us! ”

"Maybe I'm overthinking!" Mo Rigen scratched the ventilation that was disturbed by the cold wind and thought that holding on to the reinforcements was indeed the best choice for the Duolun defenders, after all, it was not so easy to ambush the cavalry all the time on the grassland.

At this time, behind the small hill only a mile or two away from them, four or five hundred cavalry of the Mongol and Han tribes were quietly waiting for something, and perhaps in a few minutes they would be greeted by a battle.

"Brother Tang, this thing of yours is much easier to use than mine!" Wuyun Geri put down the binoculars in his hand and whispered to Tang Zhidao beside him: "I can see clearly and far, the bandits seem to be right in front of my eyes!" ”

"If it's easy to use, give it to the Dark Cloud Brothers!" Although Commander Tang is not a big money, he has also given a Zeiss military telescope of 16 times, this kind of thing has been equipped to the battalion in the new army, but it is already great to have an eight-fold Zeiss telescope in the old army outside the customs.

"Really, thank you so much Brother Tang!" Uyunge almost didn't scream out loud, and as a soldier, of course he knew that this thing was not only expensive, but also difficult to buy.

"I'm all brothers, and I'm here to fight side by side, what is this little gadget!" Tang Zhidao sighed, and then saw that the spies of the bandits were still far away, so he said generously. In this raid, he took a huge risk, not only to face the horse bandits in front of him, but also to prevent the Mongolian soldiers around him from moving, and the only thing that reassured him was the straightforward Mongolian man in front of him. …,

"Hmm!" Wuyun Geri shook Tang Zhidao's hand vigorously, and then picked up the telescope in his hand to observe.

"The vanguard of the Mongolian bandits is coming, there are about fifty or sixty people!" Wuyun Geri suddenly turned around and said, "Do you want to ...... them first?"

"These are the spies of the bandits, let them go first, let the brothers hide them, and don't expose them!" Tang Zhidao whispered an order, this time the two armies joined forces, and the Mongolian army in Wuyun accounted for more than half of the troops, but Wuyun still insisted on letting Tang Commander take unified command. In terms of age, qualifications, and experience, Wuyun Geri may be better, but in the face of his enthusiasm, Tang Zhidao still takes this responsibility seriously, and fighting a war is not a matter of inviting guests to dinner, and you can't be sloppy.

"They're back!" Sure enough, as Tang Zhidao expected, the small wave of people who had just passed over hurriedly returned when they saw that there was nothing unusual.

"Han Zitai, why hasn't this bastard arrived yet!" Tang Zhidao looked at his watch and said silently in his heart, this time he dared to organize an ambush, perhaps the biggest reliance was on Han Zitai's strange army, but most of the time had passed, and Han Zitai had not sent anyone to contact him.

"Get the brothers ready for battle!" Seeing through the binoculars in his hand that the Mongolian bandit brigade had moved, Tang Zhidao pulled out the Browning pistol on his waist and commanded, and the Mongolian and Han clans behind him also ordered to pull the bolt and wait for the attack.

The bandits on the other side didn't make them wait too long, after all, they were also in a hurry, trying to approach Duolun before sunset, putting pressure on the defenders in the city, and ideally they would go directly to Duolun City to have fun.

"Coming, coming!" Zuo Jiwu held a shell gun in one hand and brandished a big knife in the other, anxiously waiting for Commander Tang's order.

"Commander, give the order quickly!"

"Brother Tang, it's too late if you don't attack!"

………

At this critical moment, Tang Zhidao hesitated and did not give an order for a long time, which made the officers and soldiers around him anxious and kept urging in a whisper.

"it!" For the first time since the crossing, Tang Zhidao raised his pistol after glancing down at his watch again.

"Hit!"

"Bang!" The ambush battle at Quanzitou began.
