In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 22 After fighting for a long time, I found out that he was Han Chinese
"Kashgar Clan Chief, Mr. Liu, the other party cannot be just from the Chak tribe. They definitely don't have so many adult men."

"Today our tribe killed eight warriors and injured two others. I will not fight this kind of unjust war again. Farewell!"

"Seven people from my tribe were killed and three injured in the battle. You didn't tell us the truth in advance. This is deception. I won't fight either. Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

The three clan leaders did not care about the life and death of Kashgar, nor did they care about the number of casualties in the Kashgar tribe. As soon as Kashgar woke up, they left angrily and left directly, and left with the tribal warriors overnight.

Nowadays, the grassland tribes no longer have to worry about being annexed by the big tribes. From time to time, they can follow the Jurchens to go south to clear grass valleys. Coupled with the transactions with Shanxi merchants, the pressure to survive has been greatly reduced. The three of them are not willing to let the warriors of the tribe go and fight with them. This group of unidentified people fought hard.

Looking at the three people leaving, Kashgar and Manager Liu were relatively speechless. In fact, during the daytime battle, the two of them had already noticed something was wrong.

"Mr. Liu, the people defending on the wall during the day don't seem to be us Mongolians, but look a bit like you Hans."

"Yes, I have also noticed that although those people are wearing helmets, their hair should be tied up." Manager Liu nodded.

"Then what is going on? Why are there so many Han people in the Chak tribe?" Kashgar asked. He did not believe that those Han people were slaves of the Chak tribe.

"I don't even know this."

Manager Liu could only shake his head helplessly.

"Mr. Liu, our Kashgar tribe suffered heavy losses this time, with nearly [-]% of the warriors killed or injured. I hope the Fan family can compensate them next year. As for this group of people, a force attack will definitely fail, but I don't believe they can stay in the earth wall all the time. Can't come out."

After discovering that the opponent was not just the Chak tribe, Kashgar had given up the idea of ​​​​attacking again and planned to slowly deal with the opponent.

"That's easy to say."

Manager Liu could only say perfunctorily.

Not to mention asking the Fan family to compensate the Kashgar tribe, he didn't even dare to go back without saving the third son.

After just a short rest, Kashgar returned to the tribe overnight with the tribe's warriors and wounded.

On the hillside in the distance, the people of the Chatu tribe had already lit a bonfire. The brother and sister were gnawing on lamb legs and drinking kumiss while discussing the day's war.

"Brother, this battle is much better than last time. I guess the Kashgar tribe is really exhausted this time, haha!"

"Haha, indeed, at least dozens of people were left behind, and those who were burned by feces will probably not be much better if they go back."

"By the way, brother, those Han people should also have suffered casualties today. Do you think we can succeed if we attack them now?" Habeier thought for a moment and said suddenly.

Hutch was startled, rolled his eyes and said: "Amei, when it comes to brains, we can't compare to those Han people. Do you think they can't think of things that you can think of?

It’s hard to say that they are waiting for us to launch a sneak attack now, so it’s best not to play tricks with the Han people. "

"That's right. The young Han leader looks very cunning and cunning at first glance. He may have read their Han military books. Brother, let's not stay here. Let's leave quickly."

Ha Beier thought about the impression Lin Rui had left on her that day and the battle during the day. Her heart was pounding and she even wanted to leave here immediately.

"All right!"

Hutch also nodded. There was no point in staying here anymore. Didn't you see that all the Kashgar tribes had withdrawn? It was better to go back and ask Abba what to do in the future.

The brother and sister guessed well. Lin Rui was indeed preparing for a Tatar sneak attack at night, so instead of cleaning the battlefield, everyone slept directly on the earthen wall.

In today's battle, they also lost three people and injured four. Three of them died, including two ordinary prisoners and one small flag prisoner.

Among the four injured, two were Xiaoqi prisoners, one was an ordinary prisoner, and the other was a woman named Guihua.

All seven people were shot by arrows. The three who died were unlucky and were shot directly in the face, while the four injured were shot in the chest and shoulders.At this time, all four people's arrows had been pulled out, and their wounds had been cleaned and bandaged.

Although only three people died and four were injured, Lin Rui was still heartbroken. After comforting the other three injured, he hurriedly went to visit the woman named Osmanthus.

"Sister-in-law Niu, Gouwa, how is Osmanthus?"

"I bled a lot when I pulled the arrow. I just fell asleep, and I don't know if I can survive it." Gou Wa said with red eyes. It was obvious that Osmanthus fragrans was following him.

"It's okay, little dog. Osmanthus didn't hurt any of his internal organs. He just lost too much blood. He will recover after a while."

Lin Rui patted his shoulder and comforted him. The weather is cool now and the wound should be treated in time, so it should not be inflamed.

Seeing what Lin Rui said, Gou Wa felt much better, and then asked: "Brother Lin, do you think the Tatars will come again in the future?"

Mrs. Niu on the side also looked at Lin Rui.

"It's hard to say, but at least it won't come in a short time."

Lin Rui told the truth, fearing to wake Osmanthus fragrans, and comforted him a few words before leaving the tent with Sister Niu.

"Brother Lin, if possible, let's go back to the Central Plains. Although this grassland is comfortable, it is too dangerous."

After the two came to a deserted place, Mrs. Niu couldn't help but say.

Someone died today, and Osmanthus fragrans was also injured, which made her feel a little emotional, and she was afraid that one day she would lose her companion.

"It may not be comfortable to return to the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid it will only be more dangerous. Let's take it one step at a time and then talk about it later!"

Lin Rui thought about it, waved his hand and said.

In fact, he also thought about returning to the Ming Dynasty, but after returning, he would have no status or connections. If he wanted to get ahead, he would probably have to rebel.

Rather than doing this, it is better to stay and develop on the grassland.

After all, in this area now, not only are there no large Tatar tribes, but there are also checks and balances among the tribes. Hou Jin is in Liaodong, which is definitely a golden opportunity.

As long as you stand firm and slowly train the captives, you can rescue the Han slaves in each tribe and continue to strengthen yourself.

"Well, sister-in-law just doesn't want to lose the good life she has now." Sister-in-law Niu recalled her days in Daming, where she was hungry and full, so she nodded, and then couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and whispered softly.

"Don't worry, the Tatars have suffered such a big loss this time, and they will definitely not dare to attack again. During this period, we will dig the trench wider and build the wall higher. It will only be safer in the future."

Lin Rui had no choice but to pat her back and comfort her.

"Brother Lin, Miss Xiuying is not here, do you want me to serve you tonight?"

The two hugged each other for a while, and then Mrs. Niu whispered in his ear.

Since the last time, the two of them have never had any trouble. Sister Niu has had enough of paving the floor every night, but if Brother Lin doesn't say anything, she can only endure it.

"Okay, then let's get drunk today as long as we have wine. You go back first, and I'll come back after another inspection."

After fighting all afternoon today, his nerves were highly tense, and because he was teased by her again, Lin Rui was a little moved and wanted to vent, so he patted her plump and erect part and whispered.

"Well, then I'll wait for you."

Mrs. Niu was so happy that she immediately let go of him and went back to the tent with a blushing face.
