The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 184 Departure
Jia Ke waited silently in Kaiping Town for the news of the Tatar invasion to the south, and sent a large number of spies, disguised as various businessmen, to enter the grassland to inquire about the situation.

In this way, Jia Ke waited for more than ten days. The spies he sent to various parts of the grassland came back one after another to report that the various ministries of the grassland had already assembled.Ready to invade the South again.

After Jia Ke got the news, he was also ready to go north. He transferred 3 cavalry from Xuanhua Town to Kaiping Town.Together with the [-] cavalry from Kaiping Town and the more than [-] banner soldiers from the Manchu Eight Banners, Jia Ke was able to mobilize a total of [-] cavalry.

This is an important force in any country. Even among the Tatars, only one or two tribes can mobilize [-] cavalry at a time.

Jia Ke made sufficient arrangements for this attack. Feng Mo led 1 infantry to guard Xuanhua Town, Huang Baifeng and Zheng Kai led 5000 Macedonian Founder's Army respectively, and [-] longbowmen were divided into two groups, which were led by them.The task of the two of them is to be stationed in Kaiping Town.Once Xuanhua Town is found to be in danger, Huang Baifeng will lead half of the Macedonian phalanx and half of the longbowmen to go for reinforcements.If the enemy does not come to Xuanhua Town and Kaiping Town, then they will stand still.Without his order, no one can mobilize a single soldier.

The last order was mainly to guard against Wang Tao, fearing that he would transfer the army away in the name of Jiedushi.Jia Ke has spent a lot of effort on these troops, how can he give it to others for nothing?

Just a few days after August [-]th, news of the Tatar invasion came from all over the country, and among the nine sides, only Xuanfu Town was safe and sound.

The common people all knew that it was because Jia Ke was guarding the front and the Tatars did not dare to come.Therefore, Jia Ke's prestige near Xuanfu Town was even higher.

But after Wang Tao knew that the Tatars had invaded the south, he became frightened.He was afraid that what happened last year would happen again, and he wanted to mobilize troops from Xuanhua and Kaiping several times to go to Xuanfu Town for defense.But they were all rejected by Jia Ke. Jia Ke's reasons are very good. If the troops are transferred to Xuanfu Town, Kaiping and Xuanhua's defense will be weak. If the Tatars invade south with all their strength, it will definitely lead to last year's attack. mistakes.

Jia Ke didn't tell Wang Tao that he was about to go north. He was afraid that Wang Tao would know that he was not there, which would cause trouble for his rear, and he was also afraid of Tatar spies in Xuanfu Town, but he heard the news.

In the past few days, Jia Ke has also increased the number of scouting horses around. On the one hand, he is searching for traces of the enemy, and on the other hand, he is looking for water sources on the grassland and possible future footholds for the troops.The third aspect is to check whether Arslen Khan's royal tent is still set up in Zhangbei this year?If he was still in Zhangbei, Jia Ke was going to make a surprise attack on him.

Jia Ke has a very clear goal for this year, which is to rob money, people, and livestock.If possible, it would be even better to snatch Arslen Khan's concubine or son.

After the Tatars invaded for more than ten days, the fighting on the Nine Sides was very fierce. Many passes have been breached by the Tatars, and the Tatar troops have penetrated deep into the interior.

Jia Ke believed that the time had come. The Tatars were already stumbling around and could not return to help immediately.So Jia Ke immediately summoned all his cavalry on the northern grassland of Kaiping Town.It is necessary to carry out an oath to the north.

That day, Jia Ke wore a purple gold crown on her head, wore bright light armor, and rode on a fire dragon horse with cloud shoes on her feet.Looking at the black cavalry in front of him, he couldn't help feeling proud.This is the most important attack force that I have accumulated in the two and a half years since I came to Kaiping Town.

Jia Ke had called Jirigla before the battle, and this boy was already a decent looking boy, and he was not wearing paper armor like ordinary cavalry, but wearing a set of iron armor standard in Kaiping town.

The craftsmen in Kaiping Town, since Jia Ke gave the order, have been researching day and night, and finally, under the pondering of several old craftsmen, they have refined a more suitable steel. The material was continuously forged, but it still met the requirements for making iron armor.Therefore, now all the officers with more than a thousand households in Kaiping Town have been equipped with iron armor. Jia Ke originally wanted to equip the officers with more than a hundred households with iron armor, but the production of these iron armors is really cumbersome, so so far, it can only be used in thousands of households. The above will be promoted among the generals.

Jirigla heard Jia Ke telling him to come to him on a flying horse, and said excitedly, "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Looking at his excited look, Jia Ke said angrily, "We have thoroughly investigated the nearby tribes. The Erut tribe you were in is now the closest to us, only one or two hundred miles away. Zhenghuang Qi is leading the way, and this time we will go to the Erute Department for the first time. Then we will be able to bring your family back."

Jirigla was very happy at first, but when he heard that he was going to take his family back, his expression changed immediately, and he looked very embarrassed.

Jia Ke asked puzzledly, "What happened to Jirigla? Don't you want to take your parents and wife back?"

Jirigla was very embarrassed there, not knowing how to answer Jia Ke's question.

Jiya came to them on horseback, smiled and said to Jia Ke: "Master, Jirigra's wife is a tigress, she often beats him like a pig's head, and this time he went back with another purpose to snatch Naren, the daughter of the former tribal leader, his wife will beat him to death."

When Jia Ke heard that this was the case, she smiled and said to Jiri Gela: "Jiri Gela, you have to work hard this time. As long as you make achievements in battle, I will give you that Na Ren. If your wife finds you trouble, you let her come to me."

Jirigla immediately smiled happily after hearing Jia Ke's words.Excitedly said to Jia Ke: "Master, just watch me, I will definitely get Na Ren this time."

After teasing with them, Jia Ke became serious and ordered: "The yellow flag is the forward, the yellow flag is the rear, the white flag is the left wing, the blue flag is the right wing, and the other flags and the cavalry of Kaiping Town are the central army. The first The target is the Erute Department, and now we are leaving overnight, and we must arrive tomorrow morning. When the time comes, launch the attack on time, and strive to take down the Erute Department within a day."

After Jia Ke gave the order, all the ministries were dispatched one after another.For a moment on the grassland, the sky was full of dust, and tens of thousands of cavalry were dispatched together. The contact between the horseshoes and the ground was like thunder from the sky, and the figures of countless cavalry were like billowing black clouds galloping forward.

Jia Ke personally led the team to sit in the center of the army. As he advanced, he listened to the news that came back non-stop. So far, no Tatars have been found.

The brigade of cavalry has been advancing for more than 100 miles, and finally approached Erut's department when it was getting dark.

Jia Ke received the news in the Chinese army that it was only 20 miles away from the Erut Department. Jia Ke immediately ordered all the troops to stop advancing, rest on the spot, eat some dry food and drink some water, and then rest on the ground to recharge their batteries. .

Because they didn't dare to make a fire, they were afraid that the Erut Ministry would find them, so everyone took dry food, drank some water, and lay down on the ground to sleep.

Jia Ke was no exception. After eating a few pieces of dry biscuits, she also lay down next to her horse and fell asleep.Although it was already autumn, everyone was relying on their horses for warmth, so they didn't feel much cold, so they all slept soundly.

I don't know how long it took, but Jia Ke was woken up in her sleep, "Master, wake up soon, it's almost three o'clock now."

Jia Ke woke up all of a sudden, and touched the knife next to her with her hand. When she saw Liu Yu calling her next to her, she let go of her hand.Sitting up, he asked Liu Yu, "What time is it?"

Liu Yu replied from the side: "Master, the midnight hour has just arrived, so it should be the third watch."

Jia Ke made a calculation in his mind, and gave Liu Yu an order: "It's almost time, let everyone wake up. At the same time, order the Eight Banners to be unified, and thousands of households and generals come to listen to the order."

Now this time is the most relaxing time of the day, and this is the right time for a sneak attack.
