Chapter 1497
Pan Yi smiled and said to Tan Zaiwang: "Your cavalry division did not catch up with yesterday's battle, and the figures of your cavalry will be indispensable on the battlefield in the following battle."
"Haha, the Ma Shi is training with us cavalry for so long, and he has the chance to gallop in the Ming Dynasty." Tan Zaiwang said with a smile.
Pan Yi looked envious.
With the arrival of the cavalry division, he naturally had to go to the battlefield in the future. Unlike him, he could only do the job of escorting prisoners and leave the battlefield and return to Qingcheng.
"I also want to go to Xinpingbao to meet Zhang Shizheng, so I won't disturb Pan Yingzheng." Tan Zaiwang bowed to Pan Yi on the back of the horse and offered to say goodbye.
Pan Yi watched Tan Zaiwang and others ride away until they disappear into the gate of Xinpingbao.
Under the control of the tiger-shaped flag soldiers who were escorting the prisoners, the captive team did not panic because of the sudden arrival of the tiger-shaped flag cavalry. They walked up the grassland step by step.
"I didn't expect that there were so many cavalrymen in the tiger-shaped flag! I'm afraid there are thousands of cavalrymen in the captive team." One of the captives said with emotion.
The captive Niu Er was walking next to this person. He only heard him say, "The tiger flag conquered the Tumote tribe. Some cavalrymen are. What are these cavalrymen? I am afraid that if you wave to get tens of thousands of cavalry."
The news that the tiger flag conquered the Tumote tribe was no longer a secret in Xuanda and other places.
"Ten thousand cavalry? It's a big deal! The Northern Lu can listen to the tiger flag so much. No matter how you say the tiger flag is also the banner of our Han family. How could the Northern Lu be so obedient?" A prisoner next to him curled his lips.
I don’t believe that there are tens of thousands of cavalrymen in the tiger flag.
Niu Er glanced at him and refuted his companion and said, "You are the cavalry of the Beilu like our Han family cavalry. The men of the Beilu rode a horse and had more war horses. Unlike us Han people, raising a cavalry can cost at least five battalions."
Several prisoners next to him nodded and agreed with Niu Er's words.
Although they couldn't say the word "The whole nation is a soldier", they also knew that everyone in Mongolia on the grassland was a cavalry and a soldier.
"Even if the Northern Lu are not short of cavalry, I see that the cavalry that just passed by seems to be all of us Han people." When he said this, the prisoner showed a little pride on his face.
The Han people were able to conquer the Tumote tribe, even if he was just a prisoner, he also had the identity of a Han.
"Everyone is wearing iron armor and iron helmets. Even if the Northern Territory is mixed in, can you still recognize them all?" Niu Er glanced at the other party.
The captive whom I argued with Niu Er did not refute this time.
Just as Niu Er said, it was indeed difficult for him to distinguish the identities of the Han people and the Northern Barbarians in the cavalry that had just passed.
But in his heart, he was more willing to believe that the cavalry just now was all composed of Han people.
Such a cavalry that was all wearing iron armor, even if the personal soldiers of their chief generals could not be worn by everyone, only a few would wear iron helmets and iron armor.
There are so many cavalry in iron helmets and armor on the Tiger Flag. Even as a prisoner of the Tiger Flag, when you see such a Han iron armored cavalry, you will feel an indescribable feeling when you think of this iron armored cavalry conquering the Tumote tribe.
Almost all of the military and civilians living in border towns have a deep feud with the Beilu. Even though the Beilu rarely made large-scale grass-fighting activities in recent years, as Han people in Datong border towns, they still have more hatred for grass-roots tribes like the Tumote tribe.
After a few arguments between Niu Er and his prisoners, they all fell silent.
When they saw this cavalry of the tiger flag that conquered the Tumot tribe, they felt proud of being the Han people, and they were proud that the tiger flag had not done anything for many years, but they could not hide the fact that they became prisoners of the tiger flag.
Although many prisoners already understand that they will most likely not die, otherwise the people with the Tiger Flag would not escort them to the grassland, everyone knows nothing about what their future will be.
Tan Zaiwang took the token and entered Xinpingbao smoothly.
The cavalry battalion he brought could only stay outside the city temporarily.
Cheng Ping, who was originally in front of Xinpingbao City Gate, personally took Tan Zaiwang to the General's Mansion where Zhang Hong was.
"Our army was ordered to come to Datong and accept the command of Zhang Shizheng. This is a handwritten order issued by the Military and Political Department." Tan Zaiwang finished his salute to Zhang Hong, took out a document and handed it over.
Zhang Hong took the official document, opened it and looked at it, then smiled and said, "You are here just right. What I lack the most here is cavalry. With your cavalry battalion, the next battle will become easier."
"Zhang Shizheng is too good. But I heard that we had just won a big victory, and we even lost the two armies of Xuanfu and Datong, and even captured Datong General Yang Guozhu." Tan Zaiwang said with a smile.
Zhang Hong said: "Although he defeated the two soldiers sent by the court, many officials still fled because of the lack of cavalry. After these escaped officials were gathered, another army soon came."
"Then we will defeat them once, and next time we will even capture Wang Bao, the general of Xuanfu, together." Tan Zaiwang said seriously.
Zhang Hong laughed and said, "That's right. At worst, you can defeat them again."
Cheng Ping, who was standing next to him, also laughed.
Because this is right, if you can defeat it once, you can defeat it the second time. Yesterday's battle has proved that the soldiers with the Tiger Flag have the strength to defeat Xuanda's border army.
"Zhang Shizheng, you have any tasks, so I will give orders to my subordinate cavalry battalion. This time I come is to help Zhang Shizheng clear away the forces that resist our tiger flag." Tan Zaiwang took the initiative to fight.
Zhang Hong waved his hand gently and said, "Your cavalry battalion has come all the way from the grassland. It must be hard work. Let's take a day off today and arrange tasks tomorrow. Don't worry, since you are here, you will inevitably use the time you will be in the future."
"If you have any task, the master will give the order." Tan Zaiwang said solemnly.
Zhang Hong nodded with a smile, and then said to Cheng Ping beside him: "Staff Secretary Cheng, you go and arrange it and make sure to let the cavalry battalion rest."
"Yes." Cheng Ping agreed.
Tan Zaiwang quickly left the signing room with Cheng Ping and settled the cavalry battalion that had just arrived at Xinping Fort.
"This," Tan Zaiwang exclaimed, "The Ming army is too useless. It's not that a hundred thousand troops came, and he would never have been defeated so soon."
Pan Yi waved his hand and said, "It's not as many as 100,000 troops, at most 50,000 or 60,000 troops. Unfortunately, your cavalry division did not arrive in that battle yesterday, otherwise there would be more Ming troops captured."
There were no cavalry chasing, and although they were greatly victorious, many Ming troops still escaped.
As long as the escaped Ming troops were gathered up, they were another large army of tens of thousands of troops.
"What a pity, I tried to hurry along the way, but I didn't expect to miss such an important battle." Tan Zaiwang sighed.
