"You confirm that the Houjin Tartars who came to trade with you only have a team of 1,100 people......" The head of the regiment's eyes lit up, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.

In order to save his life, the steward did not dare to hide anything, and quickly replied......

"General, this is an agreement between us and the Houjin Tartar...... After all, they are also worried that we will suddenly stop this smuggling. Therefore, in the first two transactions, the Houjin Tartars kept their promises very much, and only brought a thousand cavalry to trade. As for the silver needed for the trade, it was among their horsemen......"

"So, I'm sure that this time the deal, the Houjin Tartar will only come to a thousand people......"

"Good...... Great, I really didn't expect that I would be able to encounter such a good opportunity to catch people out of the customs...... After a thousand golden Tatar cavalry, millions of taels of silver, if I can't eat this kind of fat meat that reaches my mouth, then I won't have the face to go back......" The regiment commander with an excited face, as if he had found a pile of treasures, exclaimed with excitement on his face.

After finishing, he directly ordered the deputy regiment commander beside him: "Pass my order, guard company, stay and guard the prisoners." The other brothers, set out at once, and follow me to destroy these Houjin Tartars......"

"However, in order to completely annihilate these Houjin Tartars, we also have to bring two hundred carts, give the Tartars a center to bloom, attack inside and outside, and wipe out all of them if there is ...... left."

In a depression thirty miles away from the border pass, a thousand Tartars are riding elites, and they are waiting for something here.

Compared with the defenselessness of the caravan guards, these elites of the Yellow Banner are much more cautious.

Although this is already the territory of Houjin. These Tartars still sent almost a hundred elite horsemen. Scattered around the hollows. to deal with possible surprises.

As time passes, the night that shrouds the grassland begins to slowly be replaced by light.

On the grassland, less than three miles away from the hollow, a black-pressed caravan suddenly appeared.

Compared with the previous two caravans, this caravan is much more luxurious.

In addition to the coachmen, the guards on both sides of the caravan were without exception. They were all tall horses, with a musket for each person......

Although General Tartar did not understand why the Han caravan had changed so much, he did not have too many doubts.

As the general of Zhenghuangqi and the henchman of Huang Taiji, he still knows a little about the inside story of this transaction.

In the eyes of the Tatar generals, since this Han caravan was supported by high-ranking officials of the Tiger and Leopard Army, it was no surprise that the caravan was equipped with war horses and muskets.

After all. Every transaction, this caravan in front of you. can get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from it.

As the caravan got closer and closer to him, the Tartar general became more and more enthusiastic about the equipment in the hands of the caravan guards.

If it weren't for Huang Taiji's repeated explanations, this Tartar general would really want to come to eat black.

At this moment, a figure that was very familiar to General Tartar suddenly entered General Tartar's field of vision.

Everyone guessed correctly, this familiar back is none other than the caravan steward.

The reason why this steward is so obedient is very simple. In the case of committing such a big crime as stealing the family and exterminating the clan, the regiment commander made the caravan steward completely return to his heart and became an important weight for the Haw Par Army to approach the Tartars.

At this moment, the caravan steward, who had changed his identity, took care of the Tartar general, as he had done the previous two times, and explained why he had brought so many cavalry and muskets with him for this smuggling.

Like the Tatar general's thoughts, as the scale of smuggling became larger and the amount of silver was earned, the Han people paid more and more attention to the safety of this caravan.

In this case, the caravan escort changed from 800 swordsmen to 800 cavalry, and they were also cavalry armed with muskets.

As for the explanation of the steward, the Tartar general, who has already traded twice, does not have the slightest doubt......

Since the last trace of worry in his heart has disappeared, the Tartar no longer has the slightest concern, and directly orders his subordinates to start inspecting the goods.

And this time is undoubtedly the time when the Tartars are the most relaxed and the least combative.

Hundreds of tartars, put down their weapons, rushed to the two hundred carts, lifted the canopy, and checked what was on the carts.

When a sleepy musket, a barrel of gunpowder, a bag of salt...... After appearing in front of the Tartars, because of the economic blockade of the Tiger and Leopard Army, it was already difficult for the Tartars to get material replenishment from the Central Plains, and they were directly boiling.

As a result, more and more Tartars began to abandon their weapons and rush towards these carts.

At this moment, something happened that none of the Tartars could have imagined.

With the help of the caravan steward, the regimental commander who successfully approached the Tartar general suddenly drew his bayonet and plunged it into the back of the opponent's heart with lightning speed at the moment when the opponent completely lost his vigilance.

Just when General Tartar felt the sudden sound of the wind behind him, he subconsciously wanted to dodge. The sharp bayonet blade has easily pierced the opponent's body and pierced the opponent's back in the heart.

After successfully killing General Tartar, the regiment commander didn't care about the unwilling gaze of General Tartar's eyes.

He quickly pulled out the short-barreled musket at his waist, which was only available to officers, and pulled the trigger on the other tartar beside him.

Although the danger of short-barreled muskets was not large, the range was only twenty or thirty paces.

However, under such a close range of shots, the iron-clad Tartar in front of him was still shot out of a hole by lead bullets that kept bleeding out. didn't even have a chance to react, so he fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness.

In the face of the truckloads of equipment and supplies, the Tartars cheered with excitement. However, the piercing sound of muskets still reached the ears of everyone in the mountain recess.

Completely unvigilant, the cheering Tartar subconsciously looked in the direction of the gunshot, wanting to know what was going on.

Gathered around them, the Haw Par Army with muskets in hand.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if a different person had changed.

With a murderous face, he raised his musket and pulled the trigger without hesitation at the Houjin Tartar who was close at hand......

When he was done, he inserted the bayonet hanging from his waist into the barrel and rushed to the side of the Tartar, which had not yet been attacked.

Accompanied by a vague burst of gunfire rang out in the recess, and in the small recess, there were more than 600 tartars, who had not yet reacted to the sudden change before they were beaten into corpses by hot lead bullets.

Because this qiē came so quickly, when the Haw Par Army rushed to the remaining Tartars with their muskets with good bayonets, many of them were still immersed in shock.

As a result, more than a hundred Tartars died under the swords of the tiger and leopard in such an unknown way.

As for the rest of the Tartars, although they reacted, they resisted desperately

However, their strength is less than 200 people. Around them, however, more than eight hundred men were gathered, each with a musket with a bayonet loaded...... (To be continued......)
