On the way back, Xiao Zhiyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Following you on the grassland for such a while, now I have been in the grassland for seven or eight years!" ”

"I'm from a businessman, I think about a good word in everything, everyone has their own strengths, just like your archery I will never learn!" Zhai Zhe made a posture of bending the bow and shooting the eagle on the horse, and said: "What's more, there is an example in Zhangjiakou that I am learning and using!" ”

Xiao Zhiyan was still incredulous, and he said a few times, "Tumut Khan, who used to be an unattainable figure, will now cooperate with our horse thieves!" ”

"We are not horse thieves, we are merchants." Zhai Zhe corrected Xiao Zhiyan's mistakes.

"The Tumuts don't know what we're about, and Omubu Khan thinks we're rich merchants from Guannai. He will only work with those who are useful to him, so we will do our best! Zhai Zhe urged the horse to speed up.

By the time the two returned to their residence in Uliji, the soldiers who stayed behind were already restless, and Che Feng, who was stationed in the mountains and forests, had also sent people out to inquire about the news.

Zhai Zhe's first sentence when he saw Che Feng was: "How did you get through so many days?" ”

"We, we!" The wind was a little hesitant, "We stole the cattle and sheep of the Tumuts!" ”

Zhai Zhe laughed and said, "I'm still worried that you will starve to death here." ”

Horse thieves in the mountains of Helinger are rampant, especially against the Tumuts. Most of them were former Tumut herdsmen, and the war left them without support and forced to take action against their former masters. The Chahars had a cavalry patrol in the Tokto steppe, and the Tumuts were strictly forbidden to live in groups, which made the horse thieves like fish in water. They did not dare to take action against the Chahar herders, and had to target the scattered Tumuts.

The horse thieves relied on the advantage of numbers to grab hard. Now it is not as good as it used to be, as long as it is not too excessive, the Tumut herders can only endure in silence. The patrolling Chahar cavalry turned a blind eye to the horse thieves, and it is difficult to say that they were not instructed by Lin Dan Khan.

In the middle of the month, Temur and several other nomadic herders are getting closer and closer to the mountainous area, which was once a place for herders to avoid.

In the morning of this day, Xiao Zhiyan was teaching Wu Liji how to shoot arrows, Zhai Zhe was chatting with a few herdsmen, and suddenly more than a dozen cavalry came out of the mountains and forests.

"Horse thief!" Temur's face changed, and he rushed into the yurt and took out his bow and arrows.

These people who came were not in a hurry, and fan-shaped surrounded them.

He drew his scimitar for one and shouted, "Don't panic, we just need some livestock!" ”

Xiao Zhiyan lowered his bow and slowly moved closer.

"No livestock, greedy robbers!" Temur spat on the ground with a fierce mouthful of phlegm.

The horse thief smiled and showed a pair of burnt front teeth, shouting: "Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink!" ”

Two of the horse thieves ran straight to the herd.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhiyan raised his hand and shot an arrow right in the chest of the thief. Zhai Zhe shouted: "Do it!" "Rush to the big dark horse not far away.

The bows and arrows of the Tumuts flew wildly, and four horse thieves were immediately shot and fell from their horses.

The horse thief didn't expect the herdsmen to dare to resist, and when he came to his senses, he saw a person waving a knife and shouting at him, and two more people were hit by arrows.

Zhai Zhe and the others did not chase after them, and when they saw that the horse thieves had disappeared, they immediately pulled out the camp and drove the livestock out of the mountains and migrated to the grassland.

Wu Liji followed behind Xiao Zhiyan and whispered, "Will the horse thief chase after him?" Since seeing Xiao Zhiyan's archery, he admires the five-body throwing to the ground, which is rare among the Mongols to have such exquisite archery.

"Definitely, we killed six people, they haven't suffered such a loss in a long time!" Zhai Zhe replied in front \u

The yurts migrated quickly, and the Tumuts drove their livestock westward, where there was an unobstructed steppe.

To the west, further to the west! In the middle of the afternoon, Xiao Zhiyan, who stayed behind to watch, caught up and shouted: "It's coming!" ”

Zhai Zhe rode to the top of a grassy slope, and saw a pile of black shadows moving towards the junction of grassland and mountain forest in the distance.

"Nearly two hundred!" Xiao Zhiyan stuck out his tongue, as if he was tasting delicious food.

The herdsmen continued westward, and Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan disappeared after crossing a meadow.

Far away on the horizon, the horse thief grass flew full of rage. In the past month or so, no Tumut dared to resist his conquisition, and there was an indescribable pleasure to see the former owner of the Monan grassland now cowering and trembling under his scimitar. Today, some herdsmen dared to resist and killed six brothers in the cottage! Kusakami Fei wondered if he was too kind to the Tumuts in his daily life, and now he was going to teach these people a bloody lesson.

After tracking for a long time, they finally saw the fleeing herdsmen. "Right ahead!" The horse thieves shouted and shouted.

Flying on the grass pulled out a scimitar, "Rush over!" Kill them all! ”

The herd of horse thieves is getting closer and closer to the fleeing herdsmen, and farther and farther away from the mountains and forests.

While crossing a grassy slope, a bowstring was suddenly heard, followed by screams.

The long arrows on the top of the slope rained non-stop, and the dense formation of the horse thieves in pursuit made it impossible for them to disperse quickly, and the people who were shot turned on their backs, and a cavalry of more than 300 people turned out from behind the grassy slope.

"There's an ambush!" Flying on the grass and yelling, it was too careless, but if he was cautious, he would not be ambushed on the grassland.

At the gesture of Geriletu, the Tumut cavalry spread out like nets, and the bows and arrows in their hands were like devouring poisonous snakes, reaping the lives of horse thieves.

Cao Shangfei only looked at it for a few moments and realized that this was not an ordinary herdsman, this was an elite Tumut cavalry!

"Retreat!" The grass flew and turned the horse's head, how arrogant he was when he came, and how much he regretted it at this time.

Xiao Zhiyan led fifty cavalrymen to the right side of the horse thief, and they were also constantly releasing bows and arrows, all of whom \u66

The most elite horse thief in the 2F cottage is as immature as a child compared to the Tumut Khan Tent cavalry at the moment.

Zhai Zhe and Princess Ulan watched the battle on the top of the slope.

Princess Ulan shook her pony whip and praised, "Your guards are not bad! ”

"In the steppe, no one can be an enemy of the Mongols!" Zhai Zhe's words are not a compliment. The Tumut cavalry was like maggots on tarsal bones, stalking the horse thieves in the encirclement.

Zhai Zhe reminded in a low voice: "To end the battle as much as possible, you can't let Chahar appear!" ”

Princess Ulan kicked her little leather boots, urged her horse to catch up, and ordered: "Surrender!" ”

Geriltu heard the order and shouted: "Those who descend will not die!" ”

"Those who descend will not die!" The shouts came and went. In desperation, some of the horse thieves immediately jumped off their horses and fell to their knees on the ground, most of them were only shepherd slaves half a year ago, and they had never encountered such a scene.

Looking at the lush mountains and forests in the distance, he couldn't escape, leaving his back to the shooter-good Tumut cavalry was no different from seeking death. With a swelling of confidence and his life, Cao Shangfei smiled bitterly in his heart, urging his horse to rush towards the shouting Tumut cavalry, followed closely by his cronies.

The two armies were short-linked, and the grass flew to avoid the long knife that slashed head-on, and the scimitar slashed under the armpit of the opposite knight, and then quickly cut down the Mongols who were entangled with their own soldiers around them. Before he could react, the horse was unabated, and he abandoned the spear and pulled out the scimitar in his waist and slashed at his neck, in pain, he could no longer control his balance and fell off the horse, disappearing into the hooves of the scuffle.

"Those who descend will not die!"

The grass flew to death, and the horse thieves no longer had the will to fight, and surrendered one after another, and the most important thing for them to survive was to survive.

Half an hour later, the surrendered horse thieves handed over their swords and arrows, tied the bodies of their companions to their horses, and retreated into the mountains and forests under the escort of the Tumut cavalry, and the steppe was as calm as ever.

"Eighty-six corpses, one hundred and twelve captives!" After counting the number of people, Gřiltu reported to Princess Ulan.

Zhai Zhe was secretly frightened, the degree of killing of the Tumut cavalry was amazing,\u6netbsp; 736

A1 has trained horse thieves who can't fight head-on at all.

Princess Wulan pointed at the frightened captives with her braids and said to Zhai Zhe: "I will hand over all these people to you!" "Han Chinese were never needed in the Mongol cavalry. She used this battle to announce to the Tumuts of the Tokto steppes that the khanate tent could still shelter them, and that she had achieved her goal.

"I'm going to take down their cottage!" Zhai Zhe nodded and said, "The thief is dead, I have just interrogated, there are only fifty or sixty people in the cottage of Motianling!" ”

Princess Ulan pondered for a moment and agreed: "It's okay, with a stronghold, we don't have to venture out on the grassland all the time!" "To create a horse thief identity for the Tumut cavalry as a cover-up, Ulan instantly understood Zhai Zhe's idea.
