In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 92 The situation of the cottage

Although the Mongolian teenagers were dissatisfied with the heavy casualties, they ultimately won the battle.

Three days later, when the tribes came with their people to trade, Lin Rui rewarded all the 500 girls who were traded according to the records in the merit book, and the Mongolian teenagers became excited again.

Because the more than [-] girls were basically rewarded to Mongolian teenagers, some were rewarded with two, some were rewarded with one, and some were not given enough conditions and there were none for the time being.

This kind of strict reward based on merit stimulates everyone even though there are droughts and floods.

Especially the more than 2000 Han recruits. They originally chose to join the Lin family army just because they wanted the generous settlement allowance and the ability to have enough food and clothing in the future.

Who would have thought that as long as the merit is achieved, women can be divided into more than one. Even though they are all Mongolian girls, they still can't stop the passion in everyone's hearts.

After all, when I was at home in the past, almost no women were willing to marry poor military families like them. They mainly relied on marriage exchange, but they had to stay close to their elder brothers, so many of them were almost [-] years old and still single.

This time, in addition to [-] young girls, nearly a thousand young men were exchanged. In addition to [-] captives, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, ponies, and various other materials were basically exchanged for the dozen or so tribes, one by one. I came home with a full load, and I couldn’t even close my mouth with laughter.

Lin Rui only left behind more than 6000 adult war horses, weapons and iron tools, thousands of pieces of leather, and 30 carriages.

The 1500 boys and girls who were exchanged also only wore one set of clothes and nothing else.

Although these people are not from the Chahar tribe, they are not very opposed to following Namuzhong and Lin Rui. On the grassland, everyone is willing to follow the strong.

After all, the Mongolian tribes are also hierarchical. The life of ordinary herdsmen is only slightly better than that of Han people, and they are also exploited by the nobles.

Only by following the strong and constantly winning can you have a chance to gain a higher status, and Namuzhong and Lin Rui have undoubtedly become the strong ones on this grassland.

"From today on, you are no longer members of the Khalkha tribe, but members of our Lin Family Army. Our Lin Family Army treats deserters very harshly.

If you dare to escape, I will lead my army directly to your tribe to find your leader. Not only will you die, but your family will also be implicated, so I hope everyone will not do stupid things.

Of course, the benefits of joining my Lin Family Army are also huge. You must have seen the rewards based on merit in the morning. As long as you have the ability and dare to fight, you will have everything you need for women, livestock and pasture in the future..."

After Lin Rui explained the reward and punishment system of the Lin family army and the military rules and disciplines, Namuzhong stood up again and gave another sensational speech from the Mongolian standpoint.

Finally, Habeier and some of the Mongolian teenagers who were the first to join showed up to give their own experience and talked about the benefits of the Lin Family Army for a while before the welcome party ended.

Then Lin Rui asked the newly joined Mongolian boys and girls to choose their favorite war horses and weapons, bows and arrows.

At noon the next day, Sanna, who was responsible for going to the north to inquire about information, finally came back.

"How's it going, Sanna, how's the situation in our village?"

As soon as Sanna entered the tent, Lin Rui couldn't wait to ask. Several other key members also looked nervous, obviously very concerned about the situation in the lair.

In fact, during this period of time, Lin Rui had been very worried about the safety of the village, so as soon as he captured the Charcoal Department, he sent Sanna back to the north to investigate.

"Back to the young master, after the Khan, the Jurchens sent a large number of infantry to station themselves in the valley. We also heard the sound of cannons at that time, so the mountain stronghold should not have been breached yet." Sanna said quickly.

Everyone was relieved when they heard that the stronghold had not been breached yet. Then Lin Rui became worried and asked: "How many troops are there specifically for the Jurchens? How many cavalry are there?"

"This, there are many. There are camps everywhere in the valley. I don't see many cavalry. They all seem to be infantry."

Sanna thought about it and said.

Lin Rui's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that there were not many cavalry, but he was helpless at Sanna's and others' detection level.

"How strong is the defense of the Jurchen camp? For example, on the side facing the outside of the valley, are there any obstacles outside the camp? How far is the range of their sentinels?"

"There seems to be no obstacles. Their camps are all set up by the river, extending from the middle of the valley to almost outside the valley. The vigilant sentries hang around outside the valley every day."

After Sanna finished explaining, Na Muzhong's eyes also lit up, and she said to Lin Rui with excitement: "Rui Lang, if this is the case, this is a good fighter. In a surprise attack, it will definitely kill them all." No scraps of armor remain.”

"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Lin Rui stood up excitedly and clenched his fist.

Those infantry are just some traitor soldiers. Although the specific strength is unknown, even if there are [-] or [-], as long as the cavalry does not exceed [-], with their current number of cavalry and horses, they can definitely crush the opponent easily in a surprise attack. .

Although nearly 1500 Mongolian cavalry were killed or injured in this battle, including the [-] people who had just joined, their cavalry reached [-], and the number of horses exceeded [-].

Although two thousand of the cavalry are girls, the cavalry is no better than the infantry. Those Mongolian girls can also ride horses, shoot arrows, and slash with swords on horses, but they are much worse than those Mongolian men.

But this doesn't have much impact at all. Even if they don't kill with their swords, they only need to rely on their superb equestrian skills to control the horses to follow the men and rush directly into them.

Immediately, Lin Rui issued a combat order. He decided to take Namu Zhonghaber, [-] Mongolian cavalry and all the horses to raid the Jurchens in the valley.

Huang Ben and Zhou Meng took all the Han people, escorted all the weapons, iron and leather seized this time, and returned to the mountain stronghold on foot.

This place is only more than 300 miles away from the valley, and even hiking only takes four or five days.

He believed that the Jurchen cavalry would not catch up so quickly. When a robber entered a rich man's house, he would never stop without ruthlessly grabbing him.

As for the Mongolian tribes along the way, they have all reached peace agreements with them. The Begging Department has learned from the past, and I believe no fool would dare to take Huang Ben's idea, so Lin Rui is not worried about their safety.

Soldiers are very fast, especially after hearing that the Jurchen infantry also had artillery, Lin Rui didn't want to delay any longer.

After the explanation, they only asked the Mongolian cavalry to bring some food, and then led 2 cavalry and more than [-] horses to rumble towards the north.
