Less than half a stick of incense, a group of horses ready to go appeared outside the camp.

Ma Yunjiu was wearing a leather jacket and an iron helmet, with two hand guns on his waist, and a brown Mongolian horse under his crotch. The sabre was on the right side of the horse's belly, and a cavalry gun on the left.

He also carried a pair of breastplate on his back.

Tu La rode a horse and followed one side, carrying almost the same armor as Ma Yunjiu's, except that he had one cavalry gun but two short axes.

"Set out." Ma Yunjiu shouted, and waved his arm at the same time.

More than 700 riders were led by their respective captains and galloped on the grassland.

The sound of horse hooves was like the sound of thunder on the sunny day. Wherever they passed, the earth seemed to shake.

At the forefront of the team are Ma Yunjiu and Tu La.

The two followed a young and strong man who did not belong to the armored cavalry battalion.

After the team galloped on the grassland for an hour, they stopped at the order of Ma Yunjiu.

The cavalry on the horse's back jumped off the horse's back, took out the essence of the brought one, and began to feed the horse, while resting their war horses and resting their strength.

Ma Yunjiu came to the young and strong man, handed over a water bag, and said, "Come on, Brother Zhou, drink some water."

"Thank you, Ma Yingzheng." Zhou You took the water bag and drank the water inside the water bag in big mouthfuls.

Ma Yunjiu asked: "How long will it take to get to the Harbin Ministry?"

"The ranch of the Hatan tribe is 100 miles away from the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion. We walked almost seventy miles and we could reach it in more than half an hour." Zhou You said.

As he said that, he returned the water bag in his hand to Ma Yunjiu.

After taking the water bag, Ma Yunjiu wiped the mouth of the water bag with his palm, took it to his mouth and took a few sips.

At this time, Tu La walked over from behind and held a cloth bag in his hand.

"Eat something, there will be a fierce battle behind it." As he said that, he took out two pancakes from the cloth bag and gave them to Ma Yunjiu and Zhou You one by one.

"Thank you, Deputy Chief of the Tu La." Zhou You bowed to Tu La, and then took the cake.

Tu La took out another salted fish and divided it into two halves, giving it to Ma Yunjiu and Zhou You.

Ma Yunjiu put down his water bag, held the pancake and salted fish, and said, "It's not a fierce battle. It's just a group of herders. There are twenty or thirty armored cavalry to die, which doesn't pose much threat to our armored cavalry."

"You can't underestimate those herdsmen." Tu La said, "The herdsmen of the Hatan tribe are all born warriors. The Mongolians have grown up on horseback since childhood and have great skills in riding and shooting. They are soldiers on horseback and dismounting horses, which are not like

In the Ming Dynasty, soldiers are soldiers, and people are people."

Ma Yunjiu smiled indifferently and said, "No matter how much you say, it's useless. I only know after fighting. I don't think a mere Harbin headquarters can pose a great threat to our armored cavalry battalion."

As the head of the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion, if the cavalry under his command cannot even defeat a group of untrained herders, then there is no need for his Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion to exist.

Moreover, he knew very well that the Mongols were as strong as Tu La said. The border town of the Ming Dynasty had long been captured by the Mongols, so how could the borders remain stable for decades?

Seeing that he did not listen to Ma Yunjiu's words, Tu La was worried that Ma Yunjiu would be too careless, which would seriously damage the Iron-armored Cavalry Battalion.

It happened that when he saw Zhou You eating, his eyes lit up and he said to Zhou You: "Brother Zhou, you are from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau. You should know the strength of the Mongolians best. What do you think of the strength of the Hatan tribe?"

Zhou You originally wanted to pretend to be eating and not get involved in the affairs of the two camp officers around him, but he didn't expect that Tu La would finally name it.

There was no choice but to speak, "Prince of the Deputy Battalion, if you ask me what I think, I don't think the Beilu are very strong, and the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion will definitely win this battle."

Tu La pursed her lips.

Only then did he realize that not only did Ma Yunjiu not take the Mongolians seriously, but he probably did not take the Mongolians seriously.

Thinking of this, his heart sank.

If the cavalry of the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion was damaged by the carelessness of the commander, he would not want to see it. After all, there are many people in the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion who have followed him for many years.

Ma Yunjiu said: "Don't look at the training of the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion for a few months, but don't forget that most of our cavalry are horse bandits, and their abilities are no worse than those of the Northern Barbarians. There are also armor sent by Lingqiu.

It is impossible to lose to the Hatan army in one battle."

Tu La nodded slightly.

What he was worried about was not that the armored cavalry camp would be defeated, but that the armored cavalry camp would be injured too many times.

As a horse bandit, he knew very well that his confidence in the tiger flag was not the position of deputy battalion chief, but the subordinates of the horse bandits who followed him to join the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion.

Only when his subordinates were still in the armored cavalry camp, he could be safe in the tiger flag.

He has seen too many things about killing donkeys.

More than half an hour passed, Ma Yunjiu shouted at Tan Zaiwang: "Get together the team and prepare to set off."

Soon, the team that was originally resting was reassembled and started to set off.

With more than half an hour of rest, the war horses fed the essence, recovered their strength, and ran on the grassland again.

As winter begins, there are no herds on the grassland. The herders have long driven cattle and sheep into the pen and started to cat winter.

The cavalry of the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion ran on the grassland without any concerns about being discovered, and even if any herders discovered it, they were not worried.

No one would believe that there would be a Han cavalry team attacking the Hatan army on the grassland, and there would be no one would believe that the Han team would have the courage to attack the Mongolians on the grassland.

The cavalry of the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion walked less than twenty miles and stopped again under the order of Ma Yunjiu.

"Brother Zhou, please bring a small cavalry team as a whistle cavalry to explore the road ahead and investigate the situation of the Hatan army." Ma Yunjiu said to Zhou You.

Zhou You nodded.

Then, Ma Yunjiu said to Tan Zaiwang: "Send a cavalry team as a whistle cavalry to follow Brother Zhou to investigate the Hatan army."

"Yes." Tan Zaiwang agreed, turned his head and ordered someone beside him, "Go and notify the first team and let them follow Brother Zhou to investigate the situation of the Hatan army."

The man nodded and rode his horse to find the first team to pass the order.

Not long after, a cavalry team followed Zhouyou and left the team and rushed forward.

Tu La looked at Ma Yunjiu beside him and said, "Zhou You is from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and also from the Tiger Flag. You won't even feel at ease with your own people!"

Ma Yunjiu said calmly: "It has nothing to do with letting go. The battle is imminent, so the whistle cavalry will naturally be sent out to investigate the situation. You have also been with the border army and you should understand these common sense of military use."

Tu La choked.

He naturally knew this, but in his career as a horse bandit, he led his horse bandits to come and go, leaving after robbing, and never thought of using a whistleblower.

The cavalry left in the same place dismounted, fed water to their war horses, and at the same time recovered their physical strength.

None of the cavalrymen in the Iron Armored Cavalry Battalion were new recruits.

Most of them are from horse bandits, and the remaining small part are the earliest breastplate cavalry with the tiger flag. Each cavalry has experienced more than one battle. They all understand that only by sufficient physical strength can we better kill the enemy and ensure that on the battlefield
