Ordnance battalion.

The top secret department of the Northwest Army.

The outer layer is good to say, and the development is something that can be seen in the army.

And entering inside, even Chu Yujia, the supreme commander of the Northwest Army, still didn't know what was being developed inside.

And early this morning, Meng Feihang found Chu Yujia.

Fortunately, Chu Yujia has the habit of getting up early, otherwise at the time when Meng Feihang came to find him, I am afraid that he would have to block him in bed.

However, Chu Yujia has long been accustomed to this, and Meng Feihang is famous for his eclectic handling of things, and it is not bad this time.

Sometimes Chu Yujia even wondered if this guy was reluctant to pay for breakfast, and he came here to have breakfast with himself.

Meng Feihang said while eating breakfast: "This morning, the news came back from the grassland. ”

"Hmm. ”

Chu Yujia nodded, and then asked, "What's the news?"

"There is an iron mine in the steppe. ”

Meng Feihang took the spoon and drank the porridge as he said: "A few days ago, the old patriarch sent someone to report that iron ore had been found on the grassland, and now there is a herdsman tribe who has not taken refuge in us. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this true?"

"Of course ......"

"They don't dare lie to us yet. ”

Meng Feihang chuckled lightly and said, "Now that we are about to build a city on the grassland, it is definitely not possible to rely on the iron ore of the poplar forest alone, so we must take down this iron mine." ”

"Nonsense, of course you have to take it down. ”

Chu Yujia rolled his eyes and said, "The fat on my territory, can I still let others eat it?"

Hearing this, Meng Feihang shook his head and smiled, took out a map from his pocket, and said, "I have already done the location markings on it, but it is best to find someone to lead the way when you go." ”

"I see. ”

Chu Yujia did not hesitate, and immediately decided the matter.

After breakfast, Chu Yujia went to the military camp in the north of the city, ordered three thousand cavalry from the wind-chasing camp, and then took Qi Zhong and Zuo Jinkai and went straight to Huma Pass.

Nowadays, Huma Pass has become the gathering place of the original grassland herdsmen, and now the 'Yeguo herdsmen'.

The houses were built to the standards of Ye Tei, and Sha Tin was also reclaimed nearby.

The herders are very united, and almost do whatever the patriarch tells them to do.

And the patriarch is no longer the patriarch of the original tribe, but a person who is highly respected on the grassland elected by the herdsmen.

Now the patriarch of the herdsmen of Ye State is named Ba Enkang.

A middle-aged man in his less than 40s, Ba Enkang is very capable of leadership, and he is also very open-minded and loves to learn.

Almost everything he had to do, he would run to the poplar forest, not to go to the ordnance camp, but to chat with Meng Feihang and learn some knowledge from him.

After he took charge of the herdsmen of Yeguo, he divided the herdsmen living outside Huma Pass into two parts, one part stayed in the local area to grow some crops such as peanuts in the sand fields, and the other part was responsible for grazing outside, rotating once a month.

But a few days ago, the herdsmen had a conflict with the Chaita tribe during grazing, and the herdsmen were captured nearly 100 and lost more than 1,000 cattle and sheep, but they were also blessed by misfortune, and found that there was an iron mine in the place where the Chaita tribe lived, and mining had already begun.

When the herdsmen who fled back from the Chaita tribe reported the news to the patriarch, the patriarch immediately sent someone to inform Meng Feihang.

And Meng Feihang naturally found Chu Yujia.

When Chu Yujia approached Ba Enkang, Ba Enkang was integrating his clan and preparing to take revenge on the Chaita tribe.

The herdsmen of the grassland are fierce, and whoever dares to touch their cattle and sheep is the enemy of life and death.

They have not been incorporated into the Ye Kingdom for a long time, although they have begun to change, but they are not so disciplined, and there are still grassland laws in their heads.

However, Chu Yujia didn't say anything, just ordered Ba Enkang to disband everyone.

By the way, he also told Ba Enkang that now that they are all the people of Ye State, they don't need to do it themselves when they encounter this kind of thing, and they can report this matter to the defenders of Humaguan, and they will naturally lead the troops to help the herdsmen seek justice.

But Chu Yujia didn't expect that Ba Enkang's attitude was extremely tough, no matter what he said, he had to find justice by himself, even if Chu Yujia personally led the troops, he would take someone to follow.

In the end, Chu Yujia had no choice but to take Ba Enkang and a hundred herdsman cavalry towards the depths of the grassland.

The territory occupied by the Chaita tribe was not large, and the village was built on the mountain by the wind.

From a distance, the tents on the hill stretched from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Fengshan is one of the few hills on the grassland, here is less than 100 miles away from the Guanwai, after walking more than 50 miles, the surrounding environment has changed its previous appearance, and the scenery has changed from the unchanged grassland to a forest, and you can see patches of pine forests everywhere.

If it weren't for the war, Chu Yujia really wanted to stay in this place for a while, this place really deserved the four words picturesque.

At this time, a scout in front rode a fast horse to Chu Yujia's approach and said, "General, there is a cavalry of the Chaita Department rushing towards our army ten miles ahead. ”

"Is the Chaita Department really vigilant enough, and they found out?"

Chu Yujia smiled lightly, and then asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the other party have?"

"Less than four thousand. ”

"Revisit. ”

The scout should be left after beating his horse.

After the scout left, Chu Yujia slowly raised his hand and said, "Qi Chong, Zuo Jinkai." "

"The end will be. ”

The two of them came out together.

Chu Yujia squinted his eyes as if he hadn't woken up, and said, "I order you two to lead five hundred brothers each to meet the enemy, and not a single one is allowed to go." ”

"Yes. ”

The two of them received the order in unison, and then each led five hundred people and rushed towards the front.

Ba Enkang urged the horse to Chu Yujia's side: "General, the number of enemies seems to be quite large, should we prepare early?"

"No, you don't. ”

Chu Yujia said confidently: "Only four thousand people, only one thousand people are enough." ”

Hearing this, Ba Enkang couldn't help but secretly speak.

It is said that Chu Yujia is extremely arrogant and arrogant, originally he didn't believe it, but now he believes it.

A thousand against four thousand, isn't this looking for death?

No matter how brave the soldiers of the Northwest Army are, they will not be able to defeat one against four......

And he sent someone else, but he himself took two thousand men to guard here......

This is indeed somewhat ......

Looking at his expression, Chu Yujia basically knew his thoughts, but he didn't argue with him, just chuckled and said, "You just need to look at it......"

Without waiting for him to speak, Chu Yujia said faintly: "I will give you diplomacy, but I don't want you to take your brother to continue to fight for power and profit with others on the grassland, what I want is a grassland without fighting, I hope you can bring it to me at that time, otherwise what the consequences will be, you know it in your heart......"
