Chapter 264: Dismounting

A vast lake is particularly magnificent under the slightly chilly sun, this lake is tens of kilometers in circumference, the lake is full of all kinds of water birds, and all kinds of fish are swimming in the water. Tents stretch along the lake, and countless herders are either grazing or feeding their animals to make them fat, and they have to prepare for the harsh winter before it comes.

On the east side of the lake, there stood a tent covering an area of more than 200 square meters, and next to this tent there was a large open space, around which dozens of armed Mongol soldiers were surrounded, and their task was to block anyone who wanted to approach the place without permission.

"Which Yang Feng really said that?"

"Yes, Abu, it's true, he did say he wanted to do business with us. And his tone is very loud, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he will trade 20,000 war horses with us. ”

In the tent, Wu Keshan was standing respectfully next to a middle-aged man in his forties, this man was none other than Zaisang Buhe, the ruler of the Horqin tribe and who had been awarded the title of Prince Zhong of Houjin.

A trace of anger flashed on Zai Sang's face, and then he sneered: "Twenty thousand war horses, such a big appetite, he is not afraid to support himself to death." ”

Wu Keshan understood Zai Sang's mood, when he first heard Yang Feng say that he wanted to change 20,000 war horses, he almost went crazy on the spot, but on the way back, he thought for a long time, but found that with the strength of the Horqin tribe, it was still possible to get together 20,000 war horses.

Although there will be some pain in the flesh at the beginning, but for the nomads, there is no shortage of livestock, even if they have 20,000 war horses, as long as they are given a year or two, 20,000 war horses can be retrained again, which is not a big deal. On the contrary, if the tribe does not receive the necessary supplies, I am afraid that many poor families will not even survive this winter.

Thinking of this, Wu Keshan licked his lips: "Abu, Yang Feng said." This time he brought a large number of tea bricks, iron pots, clothes and food, as long as there are war horses, we will have as many of these things, and Bumu Butai and his aunt are still in his hands, no matter what, we have to redeem them. ”

"Hmph...... This Huang Taiji is also too incompetent! ”

As soon as he thought that his sister and daughter were still in Yang Feng's hands, Zai Sang felt a burst of fire in his heart. In this matter, he didn't hate Yang Feng very much, but he was very disdainful of Huang Taiji who left his wife and fled for his life, you said that your dignified Eighth Prince of Houjin came to our Horqin tribe again with his wife and gifts to ask for relatives, and he left his wife and gifts halfway and ran away by himself, what is this called. Such a man is also worthy of marrying the most beautiful pearl of the Horqin tribe?

"Twenty thousand horses is impossible." Zai Sang said categorically: "Although we can't get 20,000 war horses, but once we give them our strength will be at least half weaker, once the warriors don't have war horses, can they still fight?" ”

Wu Keshan was a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "But Abu, this opportunity is very rare, even if we hand over 20,000 war horses to them, we will have at least 10,000 or 20,000, and as long as it takes another two years or even a year, we can train 20,000 war horses again, which is not an unbearable loss for us." ”

Looking at Wu Keshan's anxious face, Zai Sang sighed lightly: "Wu Keshan, you are not too young, you should think more about things when you encounter them." Be...... Our Horqin tribe is not horses, as long as I want, we can even fill the vacancy of these war horses in a year, but do you think about the reflection of Houjin? ”

"Ah......h

Wu Keshan was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, yes...... They can sell war horses very well, but what if this matter is known to Houjin?

You must know that now the Houjin and the Ming are in full swing, and the reason why the Houjin can form an oppressive trend against the Ming with a population of less than one million is that the strong combat effectiveness of the Houjin army and the cavalry that come and go like the wind, and on the other hand, the Ming is not only low in combat power, but also has very few cavalry.

Once the Ming Dynasty gets 20,000 war horses, they can at least set up 10,000 cavalry with one cavalry with two war horses, if it is extreme, use a slightly worse quality pack horse to replace the spare horse, they can even burst out 20,000 cavalry, if such a huge cavalry is put into the Liaodong battlefield, the pressure on Houjin is conceivable, Nurhachi will definitely turn against them if he knows.

Thinking of this, Wu Keshan was very unwilling, "That's ...... Aren't we going to sell the war horse to that Yang Feng? ”

"If you don't sell it, you won't do it." Zai Sang shook his head and said, "In that case, Yang Feng won't have to turn his face with us." ”

"And what do you mean?" I tore off my hair, this doesn't work, it doesn't work, what do you want?

"I mean that the war horse can be sold, but it can't be sold to him according to the quantity he asks, and the specific amount can only be decided after talking to him in person." Zai Sang said slowly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "If you go to the Ming army camp again tomorrow, you will say that I will invite him to our tribe the day after tomorrow." ”

"Please allow me to negotiate at Lake Valen?" Yang Feng looked at Wu Keshan in front of him, and said with some amusement: "Zai Sang is really cowardly, he doesn't even dare to come to my big camp, is he afraid that I will detain him?" ”

Wu Keshan raised his head and said: "I, Abu, naturally won't be so timid, but there are too many things in the tribe these days, and Abu is really lacking in skills, so I can only ask the general to go to Valun Lake in person." General Yang is a brave general of the Ming Dynasty, and he has successively defeated Amin, Daishan and other Houjin generals, so he won't even dare to go to the Horqin tribe, right? ”

Seeing that Wu Keshan looked like he was clearly going to provoke you, Yang Feng smiled, "It seems that you have also read books before, and you have actually learned the method of agitation." But I have to ask, if I go to your place, will your Horqin tribe let us bring our own dry food and not even invite us to eat? ”

"What are you talking about?" Yang Feng's words completely angered Wu Keshan, and he stood up and said loudly: "Our Mongolian warriors are the bravest men, and they are also the most generous to their friends, if we have friends to come as guests but let the guests bring their own dry food, we are not worthy of being Genghis Khan's descendants." ”

Looking at Wu Keshan's flushed face, Yang Feng laughed: "I'm sorry, I just asked casually, since you said so, I'm relieved, I will be a guest of your tribe on time tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Yang Feng promised to go on time, Wu Keshan was overjoyed, and immediately hugged his fists as if he was afraid that Yang Feng would return: "Okay...... The day after tomorrow, Abu and I waited for General Yang to arrive on time at Walun Lake, and I took my leave. After speaking, Wu Keshan turned around and left Yang Feng's tent with the speed of escaping.

After Wu Keshan left, a slender figure walked out from behind the screen, and Zheng Tuoniang asked with a worried face: "My lord, do you really want to go to the Horqin tribe for the banquet in person?" ”

Yang Feng smiled: "Of course, since people are so sincere, wouldn't we be sorry for their kindness if we don't go." ”

"But the hearts of the people are sinister, those Mongols may not have any good intentions when they invite you over, you must prevent them from poisoning." Zheng Tuoniang was anxious, her man was too risky this time, Hulun Lake was the territory of the Mongols, once the Mongols turned their faces, Yang Feng would be in danger.

"I know." Yang Feng nodded.

"You know you're still going?" Zheng Tuoniang was so anxious that she was about to cry, "The saints say that gentlemen don't build dangerous walls......"

"So I'm going to take all of us with me for insurance"

"You are the commander of the Jiangning Army, how can you commit it yourself...... Hey...... What are you talking about......" It was only then that Zheng Tuoniang reflected, her small mouth opened round, looked at Yang Feng in disbelief, and stammered: "You mean...... Say...... Let the whole army go with you to the Horqin tribe? ”

"Of course, what do you think?" Yang Feng shrugged his shoulders: "Since we are worried about Zaisang's old boy making trouble, then let's simply order the whole army to be pulled, so that there will be no problem with the protection of the army, and by the way, give Zaisang a chance to have a treat, isn't it good?" ”

"But...... But ......"

Zheng Tuoniang has to admit that she still underestimates the thickness of her man's face, people just ask you to discuss business matters, but you want to drag the family over to eat and drink for nothing, and give people a chance to treat themselves, do you want to be ashamed?

Yang Feng said so, and at the same time he did so, early the next morning Yang Feng ordered the whole army to pull out the camp, 5,000 sergeants in front, more than 1,000 sergeants in the back, in the middle is 3,000 baggage battalions, medical battalions escorting more than 20,000 captives towards Hulun Lake, mixed with countless cattle, sheep and horses, because the team is too large, the mighty continued for nearly ten miles, it can be said that the scene is extremely spectacular at a glance, because of the fear of the Horqin tribe sneak attack, Yang Feng also asked Zheng Toniang and Xianniang to control the drone to reconnoiter in circles around the team for dozens of miles.

It wasn't until the third day that the team came to Hulun Lake, the gathering place of the Horqin tribe, and when Yang Feng and his army came to Hulun Lake, the entire Horqin tribe was in a sensation.

"What, you mean Yang Feng brought all his people to Hulun Lake?"

On a bluestone next to Hulun Lake, Zai Sang, who was sitting on the edge of the lake fishing, looked at Wu Keshan in front of him, and his right hand holding the fishing rod was trembling slightly, showing that his owner was not calm.

"Yes, Abu, our outpost has come back to report that their army of 10,000 and more than 20,000 prisoners have all arrived, and they are now camping two miles away from us.!"

Wu Keshan, who was standing behind, had a very ugly face, and it was obvious that this incident had a very big impact on him, and now he was standing behind Zaisang, quietly waiting for Zaisang's decision.

For a long time, his imaginary fury did not appear, but instead he heard a chuckle.

"Huh...... It seems that I underestimated this Yang Feng, and he is worthy of being the person who can defeat Dai Shan and my good son-in-law, and he is really a character! ”

Wu Keshan asked very unwillingly: "Abu, can we just watch them stay next to our tribe like this?" ”

"What do you want?" Zaisan asked rhetorically, "Gather the warriors to attack them, and fight them to the death?" Or are you sure you're going to wipe them all out? ”

"It's not...... I...... I ......"

Wu Keshan was speechless for a while, the day before yesterday he personally ran to Yang Feng's camp and said that he wanted to invite him over to discuss business, but now that people are coming, you have to run over and say that there are too many people you have come, or you should go back to some of them, okay? He can't say anything like this, after all, he still needs the least face.

I can't be sure, and people are still here at their own invitation, although there are more people coming, but who let you not limit the number of people on the other side in advance.

However, Wu Keshan is not the kind of brainless person, he quickly figured out that since the incident has happened, it is useless to complain, so let's find a way to solve the problem. He raised his head and said to Zai Sang: "Abu, it's all to blame for not explaining this matter to him in advance, but now that Yang Feng is here, we naturally can't turn a blind eye, let's go and meet this General Yang now......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

On the vast grassland, with the sound of horns one after another, countless war horses galloped on the prairie, and layers of dust and smoke rose throughout the grassland, and tens of thousands of cavalry in Horqin have been fully mobilized, they are rushing towards Hulun Lake from all directions, and the line Niang and Zheng Tuoniang, who are manipulating the drone to observe in the sky, found that a famous cavalry on the vast grassland is gathering together, Rao is two have seen a lot of the world with Yang Feng these days, and they are also a little stunned.

In front of these Mongolian cavalry gathering, thousands of sergeants wearing bright red armor were marching in a neat formation towards the Horqin tribe, after hearing the warning sent by Zheng Tuniang, Yang Feng frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "This Zaisang, this is to give me a dismount!" The order went down, and the whole army formed a hollow phalanx and continued to advance! ”

"Phalanx!"

"Phalanx!"

Yang Feng's order was immediately transmitted to the ears of all Qianhu through the walkie-talkie, and then the army sounded a flute of horns and flags, and the army that was originally advancing in a state of march suddenly began to stop, and a group of sergeants began to spread out eight circular formations in place and quickly close together, and then slowly stretched to the four sides, and finally turned into a large formation inside and outside.

The sergeants inserted bayonets into the firearms in their hands, and began to move forward with the beat of drums, and it only took them less than five or six minutes to do all this, and everyone was in formation before the Mongolian cavalry arrived, which made Zai Sang, who was carefully observing all this from a distance, and many other leaders and generals of the Horqin tribe who had seen the Jiangning army for the first time, gasp......
