The accident of the war horse is a very serious matter, so the news was immediately sent to Xiao Ming of Xingqing Mansion to know, Xiao Ming was naturally angry when he heard it, but he also had to understand the reason of the matter, so Xiao Ming suppressed his anger and called the person who reported the loss to him, and personally inquired about the accident of the war horse.

These horses are not collected near Xingqing Mansion, but at the foot of Liupan Mountain in the north, where there is a large pasture, which has always been a place for raising horses in Western Xia, and the herdsmen are also locals.

Hetao horses are not tall, but fortunately, they are hard-working, not wild, and have always been the best source of military horses, this time Cao Ji requisitioned horses for Xiao Ming's army is not completely satisfied with the number of 20,000, but only needs to complete half of it, and the remaining horses in Liangzhou and Suzhou and other places still need to solve half.

The horses were basically escorted by a special person to pass by land, and each horse was only briefly tied around the neck with the reins to prevent them from running away, and the horse team could not escort the railway because it was really not possible to find a suitable carriage, and at that time there were no tin barrel-shaped carriages, only freight flat carriages and passenger carriages.

The horses were sent away in batches, and there were about 2,000 horses in each batch, but when the second batch of horses was transported, something happened, that is, more than 2,000 horses were snatched away! There were not a few people escorting along the way, and the other side was outnumbered, and more than 2,000 horses were snatched away!

"Where were the horses robbed?" Xiao Ming asked with a calm face.

"Huiyu Taishi, it is near Suzhou" After the horse was robbed, the escort immediately took the train back to Xingqing Mansion to report the news.

Xiao Ming asked: "What kind of person is so bold that the king of the Great Song Dynasty disregards the law and openly robs?" ”

"Master Qiyu knows that it is the tribe of the Mi'er beggars!"

Xiao Ming was puzzled, and turned his head to look at Cao Yi: "Who is the Mi'er beggar?" ”

Cao Ju really knew that he told Xiao Ming that the Mi'er beggars were the Mughuls, a nomadic tribe who migrated south from the far north, and there were many such tribes, but he didn't know which tribe these people who robbed the military horses belonged to, and these tribes happened to live in Mobei grassland and other places at present!

Xiao Ming muttered in his heart: "These people are obviously Mongols, the nomads in the northern Turkic region were called the Mughurs in the Tang Dynasty, these people have been active in the forests and steppes of Siberia in the far north, it seems that this is starting to go south, and it is estimated that the time is almost to some of their tribes to fight and pave the way for the rise of Genghis Khan!" ”

But he still said: "No matter who they are, openly robbing military horses is a capital crime, and it must be crusaded, order the army to prepare better, and we will go to Suzhou tomorrow!" Does Mr. Cao have a guide who is familiar with the local environment? ”

Cao said: "I'll help you find a few"

Xiao Ming nodded and agreed, the person who reported the news went down, Xiao Ming immediately ordered the whole army to prepare, and took the car to Suzhou early the next morning, he wanted to see what the primitive Mongols looked like, the Mongols in history were called the whip of God, crisscrossing the Eurasian continent and killing countless people! It directly led to the direct death of more than 200 million people on the earth, but now they have begun to rise in the Mobei grassland.

Xiao Ming thought that it was just the right time for him, in the major events that changed history, in fact, it was completely the rise of China in Asia, and the rise of the Mongols was in just a few decades, their westward expedition not only brought advanced iron manufacturing technology, but also brought gunpowder technology, after these two major technologies were transmitted to the West, the impact directly formed the world pattern of later generations!

But will history still be like that today? Xiao Ming felt that he should kill all the Mongols? As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he was immediately denied by himself, he himself is not a person who loves to kill, if it is replaced by Yang Qizhong, then maybe these hundreds of thousands of Mongolians may really be unlucky!

He has changed the course of the entire history, Xiao Ming feels that even if the Mongols are allowed to develop freely, they will not pose any big threat to anyone, but these people are so bold that they dare to openly rob their military horses, if they don't teach him a lesson, let him form a lawless habit, then what's the deal?

Therefore, the determination has been made, and the recovery of the military horses must also teach these Mongols a lesson, so that they can understand who is the real strong in the world today, not a strong body and a spirit of hardship, but a shrewd mind and precise obedience and execution of orders, the strong already have hot weapons, or let them say goodbye to cold weapons completely!

The army set off through Xingqing Province to the Shazhou train all the way to the river, this section of the railway is more difficult to walk, because it has to pass through a part of the valley, when it was built, a lot of prisoner laborers died, the train uses two locomotives, one in the front to pull, one in the back push.

The railway climbs up the plateau in a zigzag way, and once it reaches the valley, the speed will be faster, and Xiao Ming knows that he has now reached the northwest plateau! After Xuanhua Mansion, in front of Suzhou is Suzhou, Suzhou is the largest oasis in the northwest region since ancient times, here to the north is the Tengger Desert, the north of the desert is the famous Mobei grassland.

In fact, this large expanse of land originally belonged to the Northwest Road Recruitment Division of the Liao State, when Yelu Abaoji defeated many small states in the Western Regions and occupied a large area of land, but he did not want to leave his subjects to live here, they were still used to their own Liaohe grassland in the east.

Therefore, this area has always been a power vacuum, knowing the invasion of the Uighur forces and the rise of the Western Xia, now this area belongs to the jurisdiction of the Eastern Dao of the Western Regions of the Great Song Dynasty, and the governor of the capital is Alima personally appointed by Xiao Ming! However, Alima has always focused on the development of vast oasis areas such as Shazhou, and there is really no time to take care of this area.

After the army arrived in Suzhou, it directly called more than 3,000 war horses with the local military horse management office, and then Xiao Ming began to dispatch troops, and selected more than 2,000 soldiers of the reinforced regiment, and the rest were all artillery.

The three guides that Cao Ji found for him were already in place, so Xiao Ming did not delay, he ordered the infantry guns to be equipped with two handles, all dragged behind the horses, and then each of them brought all the dry food and water, and directly rushed to the direction indicated by the guide, riding horses, he must recover the horses within a few days, otherwise it will be difficult to find them if the other party migrates again.

The team of people and horses are all riding forward, the dust and smoke are rolling down and the momentum is amazing, the horses' hooves rumble and go straight to the desert, the road indicated by the guide still needs to pass through a section of the desert, so the desert march is inevitable, but because it is winter, the temperature in the desert is not high, otherwise Xiao Ming would not let the soldiers only bring a few days of dry food and water.

The team of more than 3,000 people is actually not large, all of them are very fast on horseback, and it only took one day to cross the desert area, and once they passed through the desert area, they immediately entered the Mobei grassland! Since the ancient Jinshan, that is, the Altai Mountains, has a remnant vein in the northern part of the Mobei steppe, the cold Siberian air in the south is blocked, and the temperature here is not too cold!

But after all, this is the northern cold zone, and when it is winter, a large area of grassland will still wither and turn yellow, and only at the foot of some mountains will there be green grasslands, and the direction indicated by the guide is a grassland within a mountain col, Xiao Ming ordered to speed up the march and rush to the outside of the mountain col before night.

The tiger guards quickened the march of the horses, and soon came into view of a large area of low shrubs, although it was winter, the grass was still bright green, and the grass on the mountain was still waving in the wind, this was a strange place, the cold breath obviously did not erode here, and a flock of sheep came out in the distance, proving that there were still people grazing here!

After climbing the highest mountain bag, the scenery in front of you suddenly came into view, the north is the high mountain in the distance, where the cold wind in the south is blocked, a lake is naturally enclosed at the foot of the mountain, and the stretching mountain bag forms a natural col with a radius of hundreds of miles, which is a good place for nomadic tribes to escape the harsh winter.

The guide, a merchant who thought he was a regular trader with these nomads, explained to Xiao Ming that the area was very large, and that in addition to the Mir beggars, the Zara, and the Saysting, as well as the tribes who claimed to be Monpaer, and among these people were tribes who intermarried with the Tatars!

Over the years, a large number of nomadic tribes have migrated to the Mobei grassland, and they often have to fight with each other in order to compete for pasture, but generally in winter they will generally shrink up and not fight, but lakes, rivers and pastures are limited, except for some smart tribes who continue to migrate, the rest of the people will still fight regularly!

As he was talking, he heard a trumpet sound in the distance, and countless human heads suddenly appeared on the hillside in the distance, and then smoke and dust protruded, Xiao Ming's face changed, "Could it be that their troops have come and have been discovered, and these Mongols want to give themselves a surprise attack?" ”

Due to the far away position of the Tiger Guard, Xiao Ming was not in a hurry, but he still sent orders down to be on guard! I took out my binoculars and looked at it! The tribal cavalry in the distance between them turned out to be divided into two sides, because the clothing and banners were different, and the two sides seemed to be in formation, and it turned out that the two tribes were fighting.

Since it was none of his business, Xiao Ming decided to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, to see if the current tactics of these Mongols were as powerful as the legend, because they were more tired of riding on horses! Xiao Ming then dismounted and handed the reins to Gu Xiaoliu, stood on a dirt bag, and watched the play with a telescope.

In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides of the imperial capital are obvious, the side with a small number is inferior, and the side with a large number has the advantage, but the side with a small number does not seem to be afraid of the other party, their momentum is very strong, everyone has a bright scimitar in their hands, and the back is also a bow and arrow, and the quiver is full of arrows!

The battle soon began, and as the horn continued to blow, the side with the largest number began to attack the side with the smaller number of people, and these people rode on horses, and did not use their hands to manipulate the reins at all, but held the bow and arrow with their empty hands and pulled the full string, and when they ran closer, they were thrown by a rain of arrows, which seemed to be extremely skilled!

The costumes of the side with a large number of people are basically black, and the side with a small number of people is dressed in a mess, many people are wrapped in animal skins, and some people are shirtless, but these people seem to be more courageous, and the arrows are only blocked with a horse whip in front of them, just waiting for the opponent's men and horses to rush closer, and then the archers behind them also began to counterattack!

For a time, the arrows on the battlefield were like flying locusts, and there were constantly people screaming and falling off their horses, the side with a small number of people was obviously better at archery, and their casualties were relatively few, among which there was a young man with two bows in his hand, and the arrows were shot out of his hands in a coherent manner.

The guide told Xiao Ming that it seemed that it was the children of the Wuwu tribe who should be fighting with them, and it should be the Qi'er Zahe brothers tribe of the Mi'er Beggar tribe who fought with them, and by the way, they should be the ones who robbed our military horses, because they were all wearing black linen robes!

Xiao Ming asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"That's absolutely right, the Beggar Zahe brothers are the most fierce of the Mi'er Beggar tribe, and they have never been rumored!"

Xiao Ming said: "I was still thinking about no excuse just now!" It's coming now, boys! It's our turn! ”
