Chapter 243 Going deep into the grassland to counterattack

Outside Dajingmen.

Zhenghe looked at the flags on the city wall, and it still felt a bit unreal.

"I really didn't expect that the Queen would let us participate in this operation just after we surrendered."

Chi Zhongjun also narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xia Jing in front of the city tower, and said: "Thousands of gold buys bones. The queen trusts us. She only wants us to participate in this operation to give us a chance to make meritorious deeds!"

After all, they had just surrendered and could not be promoted to the official position of Zhenghe immediately. In order to block Youyou's mouth and to let the world see the court's sincerity in recruiting traitors, they could only be given the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

If you perform meritorious service, you can be awarded an official title. The queen can buy horse bones with a thousand pieces of gold. Zhenghe is a role model for rebels all over the world.

The horse under Zhenghe seemed to feel his excitement, and became restless and snorted from time to time.

"In the past, we were rebels and could only hide from the officers and soldiers. This time we were able to form a team with the officers and soldiers and follow them to plunder the foreigners. Do you think our experience these days is incredible?"

From now on, they are also soldiers and generals of the imperial court. They can walk in the sunshine openly. If they have made meritorious service and are awarded an official position, they can also sound the gong to clear the way, return to their hometown in fine clothes, and even open an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and comfort their spirits in heaven. His descendants are now prosperous, too. He is a general of several grades.

You can't think about this, it makes you excited when you think about it.

Feng Zhang and Ning Keng didn't know Zheng He's mood at the moment. They saw the flag on the city wall waving, and the five thousand cavalry began to move in an orderly manner.

Feng Zhang and Ning Keng were at the front of the team, and the speed of the team was not very fast at the beginning.

Feng Zhang turned to Ning Keng and asked, "Have we spread out all the money we didn't collect at night?"

Ning Keng looked back at the team behind him, then turned back and said: "I sent it out two days ago, and did not take it back until dawn to report. I didn't find any soldiers or horses from Beidi for a hundred miles. In the next two days, The journey may be easier.”

"In recent years, there have been many disasters in the grassland. This is the time for grazing on the grassland. They definitely didn't expect that we would come to the grassland to harvest before the autumn harvest. Without precautions, our actions this time can It is said to be the easiest time to succeed."

Fengzhang actually felt that five thousand soldiers and horses were too few. It was his first time to enter the grassland for a raid. It would be best to bring more cavalry to sweep Beidi once and leave him injured!
The Beidi people may be prepared when they accumulate troops next time.

Ning Keng told the news he had received, "In the past few months, my night scouts have heard news that two tribes were captured by the imperial court on grassland. During this period, in addition to normal grazing, they were probably fighting for the territory of these two tribes. Before the autumn harvest, Beidi Tatars don’t have time to knock on the gates.”

It was precisely for these reasons that Xia Jing proposed to go out to plunder supplies, so he did not object.

The Beidi Tatars have been too arrogant on the border in recent years, and they should have been taught some lessons. However, in recent years, both Emperor Yuanhui and Emperor Mingxi have been only defending the border and not attacking. There is no way, even if they Guarding the border and getting moldy, you can't move out of the border.

To be honest, he was really frustrated!

Looking at the cavalry slowly disappearing at the end of the road, Feng Yanrong asked: "Your Majesty ordered you to go out and plunder the tribes of Beidi. Aren't you afraid that Beidi will fight back and trigger a war?"

Xia Jing smoothed her wind-blown hair and looked at Feng Yanrong: "As far as I know, Mr. Feng is not a timid person. Why did you ask this question today? If there is a war, I will take the responsibility." But. Besides, Beidi can come to our Dayu to rob it, why can't we go to the grassland to rob it?"

Feng Yanrong pressed his forehead. There was nothing wrong with what he said. If someone bullied him, he would fight back.

but.
Forget it, now that the cavalry has set off, no matter how much you say, it won't help.

Xia Jing saw Feng Yanrong rubbing her forehead and shook her head: "Standing in your position, I can understand your worries, but Dayu's military soul needs to be reshaped, and anyone who dares to attack me, Dayu, will be punished no matter how far away he is!
During the time of Taizu and Taizong, which of the small tribal countries around Dayu dared to tease the beard of the fierce tiger Dayu?
Any soldiers who wanted to eat meat could leave the border and go to the grasslands to rob. At that time, the Beidi Tatars would not dare to graze in the land close to Dayu. They wanted to run as far as they could, and the further they could get away from Dayu, the better. ! "

Later, the army became tired and lax in its armament, and they did not even bother to move out of the border.

Guarding the Great Wall at the border, even the army was in ruins.

During the reign of Emperor Hui of Yuan Dynasty, he could not even defend the border. Beidi succeeded in knocking down the border and advanced all the way. Finally, Beidi's iron cavalry approached the city and scared the imperial court to move south.

This period of history is a shame that Dayu will never be able to wash away!

Feng Yanrong's mouth twitched after hearing what she said. He didn't know this queen before, but now that he has gotten to know her, he feels that this queen is more bandit than a bandit and more violent than a Tatar!

It turns out that this is her true nature: she will always compare every penny with her enemies and retaliate for every flaw!

He thought about it in his mind, and it seemed that he had no place to offend her, except this time he objected to going out to seize the grassland.

I wonder if she will hold a grudge. Is it too late for him to lead his troops to catch up with the five thousand horsemen? ——
The five thousand cavalry were led by Ning Keng. Three days after leaving the Dajingmen, the team sped up.

The grassland is luxuriant, and occasionally a rabbit is frightened by the cavalry and flees away.

It's been three days since I came out, and not a single person has been seen except their team.

In the evening, the team rested in an elm forest.

In order not to attract the attention of the herdsmen, they never lit a fire after entering the grassland. They ate only dry food and drank water prepared in advance.

We will rest in the elm forest tonight, with the protection of the woods. When it gets dark, we can light a fire and boil water, and let the soldiers in the team replenish the water they drank.

When lighting a fire at night, there are woods blocking the outside view. The black smoke produced by the fire makes it impossible to see anyone in the distance in the dark night. This is the safest way.

"Is this your first time coming to the border and entering the grassland?"

After eating dry food to fill his stomach, Ning Keng leaned against the tree, looked at Feng Zhang and asked.

Feng Zhang nodded: "It's my first time here. I didn't expect to leave the customs. I walked for several days without seeing anyone."

The vastness of the grassland is beyond words. It’s no wonder that Beidi people can come and go without a trace.

With such a vast territory, if unfamiliar people come in, they may get lost and find their way home.

Ning Keng is a few years older than Feng Zhang, but he knows more about the outside world than Feng Zhang.

"There used to be many villages outside the Pass where many people from Dayu lived. However, due to various reasons, it became increasingly difficult for the people outside the Pass to survive.

As a result, the people living outside the pass fled back to the pass, and those who did not escape were captured by Beidi and worked as slaves on the grassland, helping the Beidi people herd and take care of their livestock.He eats the least, but does the dirtiest and most tiring work! "

After hearing this, Feng Zhang said coldly: "In this case, when we come out this time, we should rob more wantonly, let the Beidi people repay their debt with blood, and bring the head back to the pass to be a vigil in the pass, to warn the Beidi people to cross the thunder pool." Cut off their claws in one step!”

The soldiers sitting aside listened to their words without any discomfort, let alone any sympathy for the Beidi people.

All this is because most of the team are northern men. They have lived in the border since they were young and know too well the suffering of the people on the border.I hate even more the Beidi people's inhumane behavior of burning, killing and looting.

Entering the vast grassland, Ye Bu Shui had already scattered the seeds, and now they were rushing along the roadside waiting for news of Ye Bu Shui.

The Hetao Plain is the most fertile place from Dajingmen, and this is the destination for the team led by Feng Zhang and Ning Keng.

The tribes here were killed and captured in the past few months. Now these few months have passed, and this plain has been occupied by the Tumut tribe again.This season is the time for grazing. Many herds in the tribe have returned, and some herds still don’t know where to graze in the grassland.

Most of the people who stayed in the tribe were the nobles of the tribe, which was the ruling class of the tribe.

With nothing to do, they gathered together to roast a whole lamb, sing and dance, and enjoy the late summer time comfortably.

If they don’t enjoy it at this time, they will organize teams to go to Dayu to thresh grass in the autumn harvest.

From now on, it will be frozen for thousands of miles. By then, they will have no chance to get out.

At the open-air bonfire banquet, the leader of the Tumut tribe said: "Everyone has a great time reveling. In two months we will have to enter the prison to rob, and then everyone will have no time to revel!"

A Beidi general took a sip of wine and said: "Our life may be difficult this winter. Dayu Dynasty has strengthened its border defenses. It is impossible for us to enter Dayu and rob without hindrance."

The leader took a bite of the mutton, listened to his words, and nodded in agreement: "You are right, in order for us to survive this winter safely this year, we must make plans early and catch Dayu's troops by surprise! "

General Beidi: "Otherwise, if we keep doing the same thing again, when Dayu's soldiers and horses are fighting to the death with the rebels, we will invade the border, indirectly helping the rebels and giving them a chance to breathe.

There is such a group of rebels causing trouble in Dayu's territory. It is beneficial to us no matter what! "

The leader agreed with this and said with a smile: "Our grassland has no news. We want to know the news in Dayu. We have to go through countless relays, which is too time-consuming and laborious. It is better to send someone to send a message to Dayu's merchants and ask them to transport supplies. , the price is easily negotiable.”

The general responded: "I will go down and make arrangements later."

The leader didn't speak any more, but concentrated on chewing the sheep's hooves.

But before a sheep's hoof was finished chewing, he saw a horse galloping towards him in the distance.

The speed was so fast that before they could see the person coming clearly, Yiqi rushed in front of them like an arrow from a string.

The man on horseback was wearing the military robe of Beidi. One look at the leader of his robe and he knew that he was a scout from Beidi.

Tan Ma turned over and dismounted, rushed in front of the leader in an instant, knelt down towards him, and panted heavily.

"What happened?" The leader had a bad premonition and asked impatiently.

Tan Ma did not dare to delay any longer and reported: "Dayu's cavalry was found fifty miles ahead. They were very fast and seemed to be heading towards us."

As for whether Dayu's cavalry encountered small tribes grazing in their tribe along the way, no one cared.

This time, it was just because he was lazy and sat on a hill that he escaped from disaster. Dayu's Yebuhu characters were ruthless enough to scatter them. Then they were Dayu's best living map.

Upon hearing this, the people who were close to the leader were startled, and those who drank suddenly sobered up.

For people who haven’t drank alcohol, roasted whole lamb doesn’t taste that good now.

The leader confirmed: "You read that right, it's really Dayu's cavalry? Maybe it's people from other tribes?"

Tan Ma was anxious, "My subordinates will not be mistaken, they are all wearing Dayu's military robes!"

The leader suddenly became excited: "Approximately how many people are there from Dayu's cavalry?"

Ever since he took the position of leader, he had never heard of Dayu's soldiers and horses going deep into the grassland. For a while, everyone hoped that this was a misunderstanding.

Tan Ma scratched his head and said, "It is estimated to be about five thousand to ten thousand, the specific number is not clear."

Mainly because when he found out, Dayu's cavalry was already too close to the tribe, leaving him no time to do anything else but to come back first to report the news.

The leader stood up and shouted at the generals below: "What are you still doing? Why don't you quickly organize troops to defend and let the tribesmen drive their cattle and sheep to evacuate! Leave other tents and other living materials aside for the time being, and escape for your life first Say it again!”

Dayu's cavalry wanted to counterattack them before the autumn harvest, and they must not let them do so!

"All warriors of the tribe, pick up your weapons, mount your horses, and come with me to prevent Dayu's cavalry from entering the tribe!"

Some generals had no time to say anything and quickly gathered their troops.

Some generals organized herdsmen to move their cattle and sheep.

In the vast grassland, as long as they escaped, Dayu's cavalry would not want to find them.

Obviously, the Tumut Ministry wants to preserve its strength.

As long as the Beidi warriors stopped Dayu's cavalry from advancing and gave the herdsmen behind them time to move and disperse into the grassland, Dayu's cavalry would not be able to catch up with them.

Dayu did not dare to disperse his troops in the depths of the grassland to pursue tribesmen on horseback.

However, Dayu's cavalry came too quickly.

The cavalry gallops like the wind, which is not unique to grassland tribes. Dayu's cavalry is also fast.

There are about two thousand tribal warriors who have just gathered.Before the tribe's cattle and sheep could gather together, Dayu's cavalry rushed down the slope.

"Dayu's cavalry is coming, everyone, run away!"

"Scatter and escape!"

"Let me go. Did Dayu's cavalry fly here? Why did they arrive so quickly!"

"Where are the tribal warriors? Why don't you resist quickly!"

"Quick, quick, all warriors go and fight!"

When the leader saw the menacing Dayu cavalry, sweat broke out on his forehead. He got on his horse, raised his sword and shouted for the warriors to fight!

In this case, the tribal warriors panic and face the enemy, often losing a lot of momentum and naturally being at a disadvantage in dealing with the enemy.

Dayu's cavalry rushed into the tribe and fought with the tribe's warriors. They were surprised to find that the Beidi soldiers and horses, who had been invincible in the past, were actually so vulnerable!
This discovery boosted their confidence and momentum, and the next knives they swung were faster.

Some tribal warriors didn't even have time to put on their saddles. Facing such ferocious, demon-possessed Dayu cavalry, they were afraid of death and could only turn their horses' heads and flee in panic.
