open sea

Chapter 1061
To be honest, Ha Tu'er, who was riding a healthy horse, carrying a saber, wearing an armor and a helmet, drove thirty cows to the front of the car formation, and Hu Dashou was completely stunned.

what's going on?

How about fighting with you?

But Chaohua guessed one thing right. In Daming, no one really knew who the Commander of Fuyuwei was.

Because in the concept of Ming Dynasty people, there is no Fuyuwei for a long time.

A strange confrontation formed on the north bank of the Old Hamlin River. After Qianchang Ha Tuer drove the cattle into the car camp and then left, the car camp was still there, and the Mongolian cavalry only retreated slightly, separated by five or six miles. Set up camp.

In the afternoon, smoke rose from the campsite, and herdsmen from the flower frying department carefully grazed around.

They spent a peaceful night. That night, they fried flowers and wanted to steal the camp, but Hu Dashou strictly followed Qi Jiguang's military orders to carry out night patrols, night horns and night artillery.

The Qi family army has long been accustomed to resting at night and following the night cannon. Their rule is to fire the fixed cannon every other watch, and at the same time change people to be on duty at night, and the others will continue to sleep.

But the flower frying department next to it is not used to it. In the first half of the night, they were trembling against the attack of the Ming army, and finally fell asleep in the second half of the night. After a while, they were awakened by the Ming army firing cannons. It was really annoying!
Hu Dayu is not stupid, he is very wary of fried flowers.

It's just that he doesn't want to take risks, time is on his side, as long as his car battalion can continue to stand here, guarding the passage of the Qi's army in the old Hamlin Henan Province, even if the fried horses eat up all the grass here, there will be nothing. question.

So... Early the next morning, in the Chaohua Camp, Ha Tu'er walked up to Chaohua with a sullen face and clenched his fists, saying, "The greedy Ming army is here to ask for cattle again!"

Chaohua's face was in disbelief at first, as if she felt that she had heard it wrong, then she wiped her face and laughed angrily at herself, and asked, "I gave him thirty cows, how dare he come to me for it? Really? Think I’m here to pay tribute to the emperor?”

"Yeah!" Ha Tu'er nodded heavily, and said, "He said that the Heavenly Army was in short supply of food and grass, and the cows ate it up in one meal yesterday."

"Fart! Talking nonsense with your eyes open, I can smell their pastrami from here!"

Chao Hua walked a few steps in the felt tent with her hips crossed, then turned her head and took a few deep breaths to soothe her emotions. In fact, these cows are nothing to him, but it was hard to swallow this breath, and said: "Here Here, give him another thirty heads, let them eat enough to reincarnate... Then send someone to Huada to see where the troops of Tainingwei are."

The fried flowers are too clear, these cattle are actually nothing to the Ming army, they have conquered all the way from Qingshan Pass to here, the tribes they passed through do not know how many tribes, even if the number of cattle and sheep snatched is less than [-]. Five thousand, not short of this grain at all.

He really didn't have artillery in his hands, otherwise he would have ordered his troops to clean up this group of Ming troops.

The flower frying department used to have artillery. Although it was just a few old-fashioned cannons, as long as there were cannons to blast, Cheying would be easily blasted out of the gap; and apart from artillery, Cheying was almost invincible.

But the problem is that even if he has a few cannons in Fuyuwei, he won't bring them out at all, because he has no gunpowder.

Those looted cannons have melted the ironwork.

The most powerful of the five Khalkha tribes is the Chaohua tribe, not because he has the most soldiers, but because he has the most armored cavalry.

Khalkha is not Tumed, they don't have board promotions, they don't have craftsmen from Ming Dynasty, and they don't have the ability to produce one or two hundred armored horses like the one under the command of the Alta tribe.

Chaohua Youjiaqi still became stronger because he attacked Liaodong a few years ago and robbed some craftsmen, and then became more enthusiastic about attacking the Ming army and Jurchens in Liaodong.

His logic is this: attack the Ming army in Liaodong, you can get craftsmen, artillery and gunpowder; attack the Jurchen in Haixi and Jianzhou, you can get iron.

And the Ming army in front of him has all of them, so he is determined to win.

But the current situation is that the existing troops are not only unable to break through the car battalion, I am afraid that most of the elite troops will be lost, so what should we do?Call Tainingwei's brother-in-law over.

The leader of Taining, Hua Da, is their brother-in-law. As long as the brother-in-law brings more soldiers, we can share the casualties and break the car city.
Anyway, Hu Dashou is optimistic about the current situation.

Chaohua felt that thirty or sixty cows were nothing to the Ming army, so he was very wrong.

From going out of the fortress to garrisoning the old Hamlin River, the Ming army got much less livestock than Chaohua imagined, only less than [-].

Because of those tribes that surrendered and surrendered, except for the horses being taken away, the remaining five animal Ming troops did not move at all.

The military discipline of the Qi family army stipulated that war profits should not be distributed indiscriminately. After only a few tribes that were enemies of the Ming army were breached, the livestock were also transported back to Senegal as war profits. They always ate military rations.

Only Chaohua sent the [-] cows, so that the Qi family army under Hu Dashou's command could cook a good amount of meat... The Mongolian chief said that he was here to reward the sergeants.

The military regulations stipulate that you can’t take things from the common people, and you have to cut off your ears if you force them to fight, but fried flowers are not common people, and the cows you send are not war spoils. There is no problem eating them, right?
Therefore, Hu Dayu not only asked the soldiers to slaughter the cattle and eat them, but also made bacon strips by cooking the unfinished ones on the spot, and he didn't even forget the brothers who stayed behind on the south bank of the river.

And the next day, I was still greedy enough and continued to ask Chaohua for food with the mentality of giving it a try.

One really dares to ask, one really gives.

It wasn't until the third day that the situation finally changed when they asked for fried flowers and cattle to eat.

A centurion in the fried flower department held a knife and drove out Qi Jiajun who came to ask for live cattle.

The centurion was instructed by Chao Hua, because he received a reply from Hua University that four thousand cavalry from the Taining Department were on their way, along with five artillery pieces of various types and corresponding ammunition.

Although Chaohua didn't know where his brother-in-law got these good things, the origin of these cannons was not important to him.

The important thing is that these artillery means that he no longer has to deal with these annoying Ming troops.

Daning is very close, and tomorrow evening at the latest, his brother-in-law Hua Da will join him with four thousand troops and artillery.

Chaohua has great confidence. As long as the artillery can be fired accurately, he may be able to clean up this army tomorrow night.

"But for attacking them, wouldn't the emperor blame him?"

"I'm afraid of this army, not the emperor. Have you ever fought against the Liaodong army? Have you ever seen them have soldiers like this?" Chaohua shrugged and smiled, "I can assure you that the entire Ming Dynasty is like this." There are not many troops in the camp, and they camp without making a sound...there are so many, we are already done."

However, such an optimistic attitude only lasted for less than an hour, and Chaohua sent someone to send the cattle into the Ming army camp in a particularly obedient manner.

Because he saw with his own eyes that on the other side of the wide river, smoke and dust rolled down, and the trampled Ming army cavalry crossed the river in the evening and entered the car formation.

Another of Qi Jiguang's generals, Lou Dayou, came.
