Ma Yunjiu did not stay on the fortress wall for long and went to Li Shuheng's office alone.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard Li Shuheng say: "Has the army from Mobei left?"

"Let's go and go south. It seems that we want to join up with Bushi Tu's tens of thousands of troops." Ma Yunjiu nodded, not surprised that Li Shuheng was able to learn the news of the Mongolian army heading south so quickly.

When the Mongolian army leaves, someone will send the news to the office in time.

"Sit down." Li Shuheng pointed to the bench beside him and immediately said to Wu Bin beside him, "Go and make a cup of tea for Ma Yingzheng and bring it over."

Ma Yunjiu waved his hand and said to Wu Bin: "No need to make tea, just boiled water."

He walked to a bench nearby and sat down.

Li Shuheng put down the charcoal in his hand, leaned back against the back of his chair, looked at Ma Yunjiu and said, "You came to my place at this time, do you have anything to say?"

There was a teapot on the table, which he held in his hand.

"There is something." Ma Yunjiu twirled the fingers of his right hand and said, "My subordinate wants to lead the cavalry left in the fort to attack the Mongolian yurts outside."

Li Shuheng thought for a moment and then said, "Are you sure?"

"Ah!" Ma Yunjiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Li Shuheng would suddenly ask this question, and he didn't react for a while.

Li Shuheng frowned slightly and said, "Ah, what? If you are asked to lead the armored cavalry battalion into battle, are you sure you can deal with the Mongols outside the Dunbao?"

"Yes." Ma Yunjiu replied hurriedly, and then said awkwardly, "I didn't expect you, deputy director, to agree so readily. I just thought I heard something wrong."

Li Shuheng took a sip of water from the teapot and said: "I didn't agree with you to send troops before because our cavalry was too small and could not withstand the loss. Now the Mongols have brought reinforcements from Mobei and will be divided soon."

No matter who wins or loses, it’s time to move your armored cavalry battalion at this time.”

"Don't worry, Deputy Director, my subordinates will fulfill their mission and capture the yurt outside the Dunbao." Ma Yunjiu stood up and assured loudly.

Originally, he thought he needed Zhang Hong's help to persuade Li Shuheng so that his armored cavalry battalion would have a chance to go to war. Now, Zhang Hong was not needed to come forward. The armored cavalry battalion had been allowed to go to war.

Li Shuheng pressed his right hand weakly, motioning Ma Yunjiu to sit down, and asked at the same time: "Don't get too excited, tell me your plan?"

"Yes." Ma Yunjiu said, "My subordinates are planning to sneak attack them after dark today. Now that the Mongolian army from Mobei has just left, they will never expect that we will suddenly attack them."

Li Shuheng thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "Sneak attacks at night are a good idea, but I remember that many of your armored cavalry battalions are horse bandits. Can they adapt to fighting at night?"

"Don't worry, deputy director, the horse bandits who were born on the grasslands eat more meat. After they became the armored cavalry of our Tiger Flag, and after being diagnosed and treated by doctors, now everyone can adapt to fighting at night, and no one is blind at night."

situation." Ma Yunjiu said.

Li Shuheng nodded and said: "In that case, I will do as you say and allow you to sneak attack the Mongols outside the Dunbao."

"Deputy Director, don't worry, the Armored Cavalry Battalion will definitely not disappoint you, Deputy Director." Ma Yunjiu showed a hint of joy on his face. He stayed at the fort for so long and could finally go out to kill the enemy.

Li Shuheng put down the teapot in his hand and said: "Don't be too busy to be happy. Although you are allowed to lead the armored cavalry battalion to fight, you must ensure that the armored cavalry battalion does not suffer too many casualties. Our Tiger Flag does not have too many cavalry.

Damage."

"Don't worry, deputy director, this sneak attack by my subordinates will definitely catch the Mongols off guard, and our people will definitely not suffer too many casualties." Ma Yunjiu assured.

Li Shuheng nodded and said, "Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back and prepare."

"Yes, I will resign." Ma Yunjiu agreed, turned around and left the office.

To attack the Mongolian yurts at night, the armored cavalry battalion needs to prepare armor and feed the horses. At the same time, it must also ensure that the armored cavalry have enough time to rest during the day and maintain their energy at night.

The armored cavalry battalion staying in the fort does not need to participate in the defense of the fort, nor does it need to patrol the fort wall, but it must go out of the city and ride horses to run around the fort twice every day to ensure the condition of the cavalry and war horses.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Mongols outside the fort, Ma Yunjiu arranged for the cavalry of the armored cavalry battalion to leave the city on time and train around the fort on horseback.

The armored cavalry battalion prepared pre-battle meals early, and even the war horses prepared some extra concentrates for feeding.

The sky was completely dark, and in addition to countless stars above our heads, there was a crescent moon.

Under the moonlight, the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.

"Yingzheng, Zhang Yingzheng is here." In the barracks of the armored cavalry battalion, a cavalryman ran in to report.

Ma Yunjiu stood up and walked out of the light barracks.

"It's already dark, when will your armored cavalry battalion leave the city?" Zhang Hong asked in a low voice when he saw Ma Yunjiu.

Ma Yunjiu looked up at the night sky above his head and said: "The moonlight was too bright in the first half of the night. I am planning to take action in the second half of the night. Moreover, the Mongolians should sleep like dead pigs in the second half of the night, so the sneak attack is more certain to succeed."

"

"The person guarding the city gate tonight is one of my squadron leaders. You know him, and I have greeted him. You can just tell him directly about leaving the city," Zhang Hong said.

Ma Yunjiu nodded and said immediately: "Are you ready with all the linen I want?"

"Don't worry, I've brought everything." Zhang Honghui turned around and pointed at the bundles of linen behind him.

Ma Yunjiu tilted his head and glanced, and then said to the person next to him: "Liu Chao, take people to take all these linen cloths to the stable. The hooves of each war horse must be wrapped in linen cloth."

"Yes." Liu Chao agreed, and then waved to the nearby armored cavalry and shouted, "Come here, a few people, and follow me to take these linen cloths to the stable."

More than a dozen cavalrymen from the armored cavalry battalion walked out from the side, carrying the bundles of linen, and followed Liu Chao towards the stable.

Zhang Hong looked at Ma Yunjiu and said, "Okay, I'll leave everything to you. I'm going back."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ma Yunjiu smiled from behind and said: "Thank you for sending these linen cloths. If the battle tonight is successful, you will have a share of the credit."

Zhang Hong waved his hand with his back to Ma Yunjiu, and walked further and further away without looking back, until his figure disappeared in the night.

There were hundreds of horses in the stable, and it was not an easy task to wrap the hooves of each horse in linen. Fortunately, there were also many cavalrymen in the armored cavalry battalion, and it took more than half a day.
