Cheng Xiaolian had to stop the marching army, although there have been no thieves fighting in the past few days, but these cavalry have been marching, if they rush into the ambush circle of others at this time, they will definitely be dead.

Although they brought some tents with them when they came, they threw them all away for speed, and they were able to make do with it these days, and they were not going to make do with it at this time.

"Go buy the wool tents of the Mongols."

The Mongols' wool tents were all made of wool felt, which was the least valuable thing in the steppe, but when they approached a tribe, they were cut off from the swords and guns of the people before they could explain their intentions.

"Outsiders are not welcome in our tribe, please leave."

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "We don't seem to be popular." ”

Yang Youcai pouted: "Probably because we don't look like good people." ”

Wang Jiyong also smiled: "I don't think you look like a good person, the knife is full of blood, and you are definitely the master of killing people and setting fires." ”

Saying that, he waved his hand: "Let them see that our Northern Army is not easy to bully!" ”

Half an hour ago, the Jinyi Guard had already sent accurate news, and a large number of cavalry of unknown origin had appeared on the Hetao Plain.

Since they decided to get a piece of the pie, it is better to strike first and then suffer, anyway, the warriors of these tribes are all in the Hetao coalition army, and it is impossible for Cheng Xiaolian to break through the obstacles of the coalition army, in this case, it is better to transfer them all back to the lair.

By grabbing the tent, these people launched an attack on a tribe near the Hetao Plain, the purpose of this attack was not to kill people, so they broke up the enemy's offensive and watched the tribesmen scatter in a hurry, Cheng Xiaolian immediately let go of Tanma, and then ordered the whole army to rest.

This place was still eighty miles away from the Hetao Plain, and even if they got the news and rushed over, it would at least be dark.

As for whether the scattered Mongolian cavalry will come back to find a field, Cheng Xiaolian can't say for sure, but there is one thing that is very accurate, and when there are reinforcements outside, everyone will not be willing to fight hard. They still have illusions in their hearts, people are most afraid of leaving a way back for themselves, and there are too many back roads, of course, there is no desperate mind.

As long as they don't work hard, they won't cause too much damage to Cheng Xiaolian's army, and besides, the opportunity to fight just now will scatter the cavalry of these tribes in one round, and I believe they may not have the courage to rush back.

It's no wonder that the Mongolian cavalry's combat effectiveness is not good, they are like leeks growing in the ground, they have been cut by the Manchu Qing Dynasty one stubble after another, but all the opportunities to fight have been requisitioned, and the rest were taken by the elders of the clan to the Hetao Plain Alliance, and when they just fought, Cheng Xiaolian even found that there were many women on the grassland.

This grassland has been like this since ancient times, if the two countries are peaceful, they are the best place, close to the Central Plains, do not worry about food and clothing, the grassland is still fat, the lord of the Central Plains will reward them with something in order to show the majesty of the Ten Thousand Dynasties. But once there is a war, they are the ones who suffer the most, if they fight with the Central Plains, they are the first line, whether the Central Plains people fight or they fight over, their homeland will be affected. Now in this situation, the emperor remembered them as soon as he recruited troops, and in the distance, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and it took a lot of effort for the envoy to pass the decree wherever he went, and if he wanted to make the family obedient, he had to come up with enough benefits.

For them, there is no need to be so troublesome, dare not listen to the words of the court, and a will can make the tribe disappear.

So when he was at war with Cheng Xiaolian just now, even the women of the tribe went into battle, which is also the reason why Cheng Xiaolian was unwilling to kill more, he had thousands of miles in his heart, if the notoriety of slaughtering women and children spread in the grassland, I am afraid that it will not be easy to recover the hearts of the people here in the future.

These people under his command can be regarded as veterans, lying in the tent for less than a quarter of an hour to sleep, these days are too tired, because the camping things are lost in Shanxi, and do not want to cause conflicts with the Mongols, every day in the field of sleep, naturally can not rest, now can a piece of wool felt under the body, only feel that a hundred taels of silver will not be changed.

Yang Youcai saw that Cheng Xiaolian was still sitting in the tent, and said: "Your Highness should also rest, the surrounding Jinyi Wei brothers have gathered, if the enemy comes, there will definitely be an early warning." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Now I want to sleep, what should I do when I wake up?" We only have less than 2,000 brothers left, and there are nearly 5,000 men and horses in the three tribes of Wutugu alone, plus so many coalition troops, and they are still cavalry, we can't beat them, and we can't run at night. ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "Who said that we can't fight, just now, Your Highness, you didn't see it, the people on this grassland can't be called cavalry, they are Mongolian warriors, in fact, they can't even compare with ordinary herdsmen, and the people in this area have been miserable by the Manchu court." Why didn't anyone stand up and raise their arms? ”

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "What did you say?" ”

"I said why didn't anyone rise up, the people of the Central Plains were in a hurry to rebel because of military service, how did that song be sung, and suddenly heard that the officials and soldiers were coming, and they raised their knives and swung forward. For example, if Liaodong died, he was injured by beheading. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Okay, Yang Youcai, you really have yours, and you gave me a method, let me ask you, is there a tribe called the Jungar Department in this coalition?" ”

Yang Youcai was stunned for a moment, turned his head and shouted outside: "Call that kid Song Ze over to me." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, I can't remember things in my brain, and I can't use paper to transmit information at this time, this kid named Song Ze has a good memory, if it's okay to take the top spot in the exam in peacetime, just call him over." ”

Song Ze walked into the camp, Cheng Xiaolian looked up, he was a young man less than twenty years old, he looked good-eyed, no one could have imagined that such a weak son would join Jinyiwei and become Yang Youcai's cronies.

Yang Youcai shouted at Song Ze: "Lao Tzu asked you, is there a tribe on the side of the Mongolian coalition army called the Jungar Division?" ”

Song Ze thought about it and laughed: "Yes, there are still a lot of people in their tribe, I heard that there are almost 3,000 people and horses, it should be a big tribe." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at the people around him: "Now I need to go alone, to meet the leader of this Jungar tribe, I am sure that the name of this leader must be Geerdan, and if you want to catch up with the exploits of Genghis Khan, which of you is willing to take a trip?" ”

Chen Chengan was just about to stand up, when a person next to him stood up suddenly: "I'm willing to go." ”
