On the second day of November in the fifth year of Chongzhen, it was already cold on the grassland, and this season was already coming to an end for the residents living on the grassland. For the peoples on the grassland, winter is their biggest enemy, so both adults and children are busy nervously, and it was at this time that Yue Yang and Li Yuan came to the Horqin tribe.

In Mongolian, Horqin means "archer and arrowmaker", historically the Horqin steppe was the territory of Genghis Khan's brother Hassar, and today's Horqin tribe has more than 10,000 soldiers who can fight, and it is also one of the few major tribes in Mongolia.

The goal of Yue Yang and Li Yuan's large caravan was significant, so when they entered the territory of the Horqin tribe, they were revealed.

Mongolians are usually nomadic herders, where the water and grass are luxuriant, they migrate to wherever they go, when entering the territory of the Horqin tribe, Yueyang's eyes are greeted by a large expanse of cattle, sheep and horses and countless tents, under the blue sky, countless herdsmen are driving cattle and sheep on the grass to hurry up to make these animals fat, children and women are trying to stock up on forage, the whole tribe presents a busy scene.

Li Yuan pointed to the busy herdsmen who were saying something to Yueyang, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horns in front of him, and the horns made of ox horns were low and loud, and they spread far and wide in the grassland.

"Woo woo woo ......"

With the sound of the horn, the tribe that was originally busy immediately became a little commotion, and soon someone 6 mounted their horses, and after a while, thousands of people were gathered, and they quickly galloped towards the caravan of Yueyang.

Seeing such a situation, Yue Yang began to joke to Li Yuan: "Master Li, it seems that your face is really big, these people have put up such a big battle to welcome you!" ”

"I ...... This...... You shouldn't have come to welcome me! Li Yuan's expression was also stunned, the so-called family knows his own affairs, he knows very well that he is just a small businessman, but he does not have such a big face for thousands of Mongolian cavalry to line up to greet him, which is about the same if it is the prince of Houjin.

After a while, Yue Yang felt that something was wrong, although Yue Yang didn't know much about cavalry tactics, but he still knew some basic things. Looking at the posture of these Mongolian cavalry, it didn't look like they were coming to greet them at all, but they were going to fight.

Seeing this, Yue Yang hurriedly took out a pair of binoculars from the satchel on his waist and looked forward, and soon they saw that at a distance of about a thousand meters in front of them, those Mongolian cavalry were riding on horseback one by one, with various scimitars or long swords on their waists, and some of them had even taken off the horn bows behind their backs and put on arrowheads, and those arrows shining with cold light were pointing at them.

Seeing this, Yue Yang immediately exploded like a cat with its tail stepped on. Without thinking, he took out the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it hard!

"Dut...... Doodoo ...... Honk...... Toot Toot ......"

In the process of Yueyang's regimental training, it was very important to the team's quick response ability, and in this regard, Yueyang had put in a lot of hard work to train his soldiers, so at the same time as the whistle sounded, the regimental training soldiers who were originally surrounding the convoy glanced at the place where the whistle sounded, and then quickly ran towards Yueyang, and soon, in less than three minutes, a thousand soldiers were lined up in a five-row phalanx in the direction of the Mongolian cavalry under the leadership of a junior officer.

Seeing that the soldiers were lined up, Yue Yang shouted angrily to Li Yuan on the side: "Old man Li, don't you often say in front of me how familiar you are with the Horqin tribe and how good your relationship is?" Why did these people put on a black and black posture as soon as we came, if you don't tell me about this, Lao Tzu is not finished with you! In a hurry, Yue Yang's care was no longer polite, and a series of foul words also came out.

At this time, Li Yuan was also stunned, and he was also confused, and he stammered and explained: "Old man...... The old man doesn't know, they are not like this when the old man comes on weekdays! ”

"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you later!" Seeing that the Mongolian cavalry in front of him was getting closer and closer to them, Yue Yang also knew that now was not the time to argue about this, so he snorted coldly and ignored him. At this time, the charioteers and their men also formed a large circle around all the carts, although there were still many loopholes in these defensive rings in a hurry, but at least they could also play a role in hindering the advance of the cavalry.

Yue Yang walked to the side of the team and kept giving orders. Soon the pikemen in the first row also took out their shields from the cart, these shields are not small round shields used by sword and shield men, but a large shield made of stainless steel with a width of one meter and a height of one and a half meters, this heavy shield weighing more than 30 catties is a sharp iron thorn underneath, as long as it is inserted into the ground to become an iron wall, which can completely resist the shooting of various strong bows and crossbows.

These heavy shields were specially built by Yue Yang for him to defend against cavalry and crossbows in modern steel mills, and now they really come in handy. Two hundred heavy shields formed a steel shield more than two hundred meters long, behind the shield were two hundred pikemen, and behind the pikemen were five hundred sword and shield soldiers, and these sword and shield soldiers each had a repeating crossbow in their hands at the moment, and these repeating crossbows were pointing diagonally at the sky, as long as Yue Yang gave an order, countless sharp arrows would bring death to their enemies.

"Five hundred meters...... 400 meters...... 300 meters...... It's almost ......" Yue Yang was holding a telescope and constantly observing the distance of the cavalry in front.

This time Yue Yang came here not without preparation, for this long trip, Yue Yang not only let Jia Wenmao of the steel factory build hundreds of heavy shields, but also let Jia Wenmao build five hundred repeating crossbows.

The power of this repeater is very great, it is enough to shoot through the armor of a soldier one hundred and fifty meters away with modern high-strength springs and mixed metal strings as power, and its range of fire is also very fast, it can shoot all ten arrows in ten seconds by winding the row, for people of this era, such a shooting repeater can already be called covering firepower.

When Yue Yang went to get this kind of repeating crossbow, Jia Wenmao repeatedly told Yue Yang that this kind of repeating crossbow was too powerful, and he must not let the police catch it, otherwise everyone would be in trouble.

It was precisely with such a powerful weapon that Yue Yang was confident that as long as the other party reached the shooting range of his own repeater, it would be sure to shoot the more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry into a sieve!

"Ready, repeater string...... Prepare for ......"

Seeing the Mongol cavalry getting closer and closer, several junior officers in the queue gave orders loudly, and many of them had already raised their hands high, just waiting for the enemy to start firing crossbow arrows as soon as they reached range,

Just when a big battle was about to break out, the Mongol cavalry that rushed to the front suddenly slowed down, and they began to separate to both sides, and then stopped less than three hundred meters away from Yueyang's convoy.

A middle-aged Mongolian rode out on horseback, and he shouted loudly in Chinese: "Is it the caravan of the Li family in Shanxi?" Is the head of the Li family here, please come out and answer! ”

"Damn, why did these guys stop?" Seeing that he was about to give the other party a head-on blow, but the other party stopped, at this time Yue Yang was very depressed, and he shouted angrily to Li Yuan, who was not far from him: "Hey, call you, don't go over!" ”

"Oh...... Oooh......"

At this time, Li Yuan suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly rode his horse forward, and shouted to the Mongolian man in front: "Is it the Udamu brothers in front?" I'm Li Yuan from Yingzhou Mansion in Shanxi, what are you doing here? Why are you attacking our caravans? ”

The Mongol named Udamu in front of him shouted, "Hmph...... You still have the face to ask me why I attacked you? I still want to ask you, what are you doing with so many soldiers on our Horqin tribe? Do you want to go to war with our Horqin tribe? Don't you think that our warriors won't be able to hold swords when winter comes, as long as you dare to make the slightest move, the warriors of our Horqin tribe will tear you to pieces like rabbits! ”

"Ah...... War? Winter? ”

As soon as the other party's words came out, Li Yuan was puzzled for a moment, and then glanced at Yue Yang and the heavily armed soldiers next to him, and then suddenly realized, it turned out that the reason why the other party had such a big reaction was because the pair of heavily armed soldiers brought by Yue Yang was too conspicuous, so that the Horqin tribe misunderstood that it was a provocation, so that he made a reaction, and the feeling was that Yue Yang pretended to be too much.

Li Yuan, who understood the reason, glared at Yue Yang angrily, and then hurriedly rode forward, explaining loudly as he ran: "Brother Wudamu, you misunderstood, we are not here to fight with you, we are here to do business with you!" These soldiers were escorts brought by a friend of mine, and their purpose was only to keep the caravan safe! ”

As he spoke, Li Yuan had already approached the other party's formation, and came to the Mongolian named Udamu to explain nervously......

ps: What's that, there are still wooden recommended tickets!
