golden scales

There are [-] Ming troops stationed in Hulunbuir Fort. Due to the limited number of houses in the city, all the Ming troops withdrew and stationed on the east side of the fort. The personal guard, and the head of the vassal tribe of the Chechen Ministry.

Shuo Lei originally felt that the Ming army's actions were too polite, but at this moment it was the first fortress going south, and he still needed to put on a "loyal and obedient" appearance, so he agreed.Compared with tents on the prairie, tidy houses, warm soft beds, silky satin quilts... naturally have an irresistible charm.

That night, under the warm hospitality of the Ming army garrison generals, Shuo Lei and his three sons, as well as the generals under him and the leaders of the tribes, were all in high spirits, as if they were really brothers to each other.

When everyone was drunk, the major of the Ming Army who accompanied the drink suddenly woke up, his eyes were clear, and he didn't look like he was drunk at all.While asking the guards to change his epaulets and restore his status as a colonel of the Ming Army, he pushed his colleague beside him who couldn't stand the desk: "Old Zhao, are you so drunk with just two bowls?"

Only the first two bowls of wine served by the accompanying generals of the Ming army were real wine, and the rest were all water.Even so, Zhao Wei, chief of staff of the Second Division of the Second Guards Army, passed out drunk on the case because of too much alcohol.Update the [-] flags to fly wild

Zhao Wei also woke up after being pushed a few times by teacher Chang Zhifan, his eyes were still bloodshot.

"You never fell so easily in the past." Chang Zhifan laughed.

"I've been staying up late for the past few days, so I took the opportunity to sleep first." Zhao Wei stood up, rubbed his face, and put on his epaulettes.

Because the rank of the garrison officers is too high, it will arouse Shuo Lei's suspicion, so the two appeared as majors and captains, which are suitable for commanding a garrison team of almost 300 people.However, this is the main battlefield where the Second Army intends to completely encircle and wipe out the Chechen elite under Shuo Lei. The Ming Army lurking in the city has a thousand headquarters.

Moreover, this Thousand Headquarters is the earliest horse detection battalion among the armies established after the special reconnaissance battalion. The battalion officer Ma Ming is an old soldier who has fought all his life.It is most suitable for this kind of combat mission where the enemy is not prepared.

The other troops of the Second Division were distributed twenty miles away from Hulunbuir Fort.This distance is suitable for the raid, but it will not be detected by the Mongolian scout horses. These days, Tian Shuo Lei didn't even release the scout horses, because he has to play a hospitable master and a loyal vassal.This is undoubtedly very suspicious.

The old fox thought of all kinds of details and completed them. The only thing he didn't think of was that his eldest son's greed had reached the level of patricide.Update the [-] flags to fly wild

"When will we do it?" Zhao Wei asked.

"After the Mongolian horses are controlled outside." Chang Zhifan put on his cloak, and the night breeze on the grassland was still a bit cool.As he walked out, he said, "In this grassland, without a horse is like having no legs. This is what Shuo Lei himself said. Now let's chop off his legs first."

Zhao Wei followed, knowing that this was also part of the plan.However, he is not optimistic about whether this will be successful. Everyone knows that the Mongols value their horses more than their wives. Will they let the Ming Dynasty grooms who don't know their enemies and friends help herd the horses?In his opinion.The easiest way is to send someone to secretly poison the horses' drinking water and bean feed, and it doesn't take much to make all the Mongolian horses collapse.

However, this plan was not approved by the military because it damaged the "trophies" too much. In the end, two plans were prepared: first, let the horsemen gather the Mongols' horses and pull them out of the Mongols' control area; secondly, let the second division Other troops, as well as the third division that came for reinforcements, besieged the Mongolian tents outside the city, preventing them from moving rashly.

The key is the first step, whether the horses can be successfully driven away.

Chang Zhifan boarded the top of the city, looking at the camps dotted with grasslands outside.There was no sound at the moment.Although the leaders drank inside, the Mongols outside did not drink at all.Shuo Lei said they were not worthy of drinking.In fact, it was secretly prepared.

If the Ming army took out enough wine for 1 horses to drink in a military fort storing grain and grass, it would undoubtedly be too fake, so it did not expect to use a clever way to solve the Mongolian army outside the city.

In the previous military discussion, the 1000 troops in the city needed to defend the city until dawn to ensure that the third division had enough time to attack and defeat these Mongolian soldiers.

Chang Zhifan touched the cold cannon body.Pretty confident about it.

From this position, Daming's artillery can cover the Mongolian tents outside the city. Even without considering the damage of ricochets, the eight [-]-type heavy artillery alone is enough to tear the Mongols apart.Not to mention for the convenience of defending the city.There are also a hundred tiger crouching cannons in the city, which are extremely lethal to Mongolian cavalry without armor.

While Chang Zhifan was waiting patiently, he suddenly found a small light bulb exploding in the Mongolian camp outside the city.

Suddenly there were many torches somewhere, and more and more lights were pouring toward it from all over the camp.

"What's going on?" Chang Zhifan was taken aback: This was obviously an unplanned accident.

Sure enough, not long after, a scouting horse arrived at the base of the city, was hanged up to the city, ran up to Chang Zhifan and said, "Sir, the Mongols don't allow our groom to lead a horse, so they killed him."

It was understandable to be rejected, but Chang Zhifan was rather taken aback by directly killing someone with a knife.

"We can't wait any longer, let's do it first." Zhao Wei said: "They will definitely make a fuss about entering the city to inform Shuo Lei about it. If we stop them from entering the city, it will inevitably cause drastic changes."

Chang Zhifan nodded and said, "Let Ma Ming do it! Capture Shuo Lei and his sons alive. As for the leaders of those small tribes, whoever dares to resist will be shot!"

The scattered small tribes on the grassland are like the stars in the night sky, especially the Khalkha Mongolian tribes gathered based on geography rather than blood.The leaders of those small tribes did not have much appeal. Once they died, their wives and children might return to other families the next day, so they were of no use to Daming.

Only a Khan like Shuo Lei still has something to use.

……

"Father Khan, there seems to be something wrong." Babu fell down on the soft bed for a while, and suddenly woke up with a chill all over his body.He found Father Khan's room, knocked on the door, and said bluntly.But when he saw that his father Khan was neatly dressed, he knew that his father was also very prepared, and he instantly settled down.

"The Ming army seems to be on alert." Shuo Lei said: "That major has an extraordinary bearing and a flamboyant expression. He is obviously a proud man. Such a person will not live in a small fort."

"Father Khan, now..."

"Don't be in a hurry, I've already sent someone to the Ming army to ask for a woman." Shuo Lei said.

"Want a woman?" Babu was surprised, his father was already old and had long since lost sight of the beauties in the clan, so how could he think of wanting a woman at this juncture.

"This is a military fort, so there will definitely be no women." Shuo Lei explained as if teaching his son, "So it's not awkward for me to go out of the city to find women when I get drunk after drinking."

"What if the Ming army won't let us go?" Babu's heart tightened, and he unconsciously touched the handle of the knife at his waist.

"Then let's force our way in!" Shuo Lei narrowed his eyes: "I have already placed my personal guards outside the city, and if there is any movement inside, they will attack the gate of the fort. .”

The reason why Shuo Lei dared to enter the city with confidence was also because he mistakenly believed that there were only a few dozen people in the Ming army in the city, while there were three hundred people on his side.

In order to dispel Shuo Lei's doubts, before Shuo Lei entered the city in the afternoon, Chang Zhifan took Babu and a few Mongolian heads to visit all the buildings in the city that could hide people, especially the barn.

Of course, as for the sacks in the barn, especially the sacks on the second and third floors, it was impossible to leave them open for Bubba to inspect.

That was the way the Ming army was able to hide in the city.

"Father, listen!" Babu suddenly lowered his voice, concentrating his breath, for fear that the rough breathing would affect his father's hearing.

Shuo Lei obviously heard something, he listened attentively, his face suspicious: "It's outside the city, something seems to have happened."

The two were about to walk out of the yard when they suddenly heard a burst of neat footsteps, as well as the rustling of their underwear as they walked.

boom!

The two door panels of the courtyard gate were pushed open heavily, and a group of armored soldiers of the Ming army walked in face to face, each holding a long spear with a cold light shining on the tip of the spear.

The officer of the Ming army who came in was nearly fifty years old, and the two silver star emblems on his shoulders shone in the firelight.

"I heard that the lord wants a woman to serve the bed." Ma Ming mocked.His family has fought against the Mongols for generations, and his hatred for the Mongolian Tatars even surpasses his hatred for the Eastern Prisoners.

Shuo Lei immediately understood that he had fallen into the trap of the cunning Han people.He took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "Come on!"

The spears held high by the Ming army leveled at the sound, and the soldiers spread out from left to right, forming a circle for a month and a half, ready to attack at any time.

"They can't come anymore." Ma Ming calmly said.

Only then did Shuo Lei regret that he had placed his personal guards outside the small courtyard, and now he had only one son by his side.

Of course, there are also several larger vassal tribe chiefs who live in the same courtyard.

These leaders heard the commotion outside and came out of their own rooms one after another. They were frightened by the tense atmosphere in an instant, and their alcohol was gone.

Ma Ming said loudly: "Those who kneel down and surrender will not die! Those who resist the heavenly soldiers will be wiped out!" As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Ming army uttered a threat in unison and took a step forward.

"Those who kneel down and surrender will not die! Those who resist the heavenly soldiers will be exterminated!" Ma Ming changed Mongolian and shouted again.

This time, there was no movement from the Ming army, but the little heads behind Shuo Lei knelt on the ground in unison, surrendering and begging for mercy.

These headmen all wanted to eat meat and drink soup with Shuo Lei. Seeing the wind turned sharply, they were unwilling to be buried with Shuo Lei.

There is everything on the Mongolian prairie, but there is no such thing as "loyalty".

Pfft!

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Shuo Lei quickly knelt down.
