It was the seventh day of the tenth month in the thirty-second year of Hongwu.

The cavalry from Jiubian have begun to enter the Western Region and Tubo area.

The order from Taisun ordered Fu Youde to send a force of thousands of cavalry to protect and clean up the surrounding areas of the Huhu Kingdom.

After all, the sisters, including the queen, are already supporting the king with their bodies. If they don't even take care of this matter, it would be too scumbag.

The person who received the order was He Rong.

Taking Qianqi with him, He Rong went directly to Huhu Country.

"I heard that this princess from the Huhu Kingdom is an extremely beautiful twin sister. Now she has been favored by her grandson."

The deputy general smiled and said to He Rong.

He Rongdao: "If this were not the case, would we be arranged to come here? I don't know if there are Tatars here. Ever since I got this flintlock gun, my hands have been very itchy."

"However, the General has strictly ordered that shooting be carried out in private. This thing is so expensive that I feel it is a waste to use it to fight the Tartars."

"If there are no Tatars here, we won't be able to use them."

He Rong's tone was a little unhappy. Others could directly pursue the Tatars' tracks, but he was still responsible for the defense task, which made him feel unable to perform his duties.

The main reason is that this flintlock gun is so powerful, you have to find a time to use it.

Of course, this was Taisun's order, and he didn't dare mess it up.

If something happens to Huhu Country, no matter what the reason is, his future will be completely lost.

The deputy general said: "Actually, there is a way. We can go to Huhu Country first, and then put the infantry there to defend."

"With our soldiers defending the city, how could the Tatars possibly capture it?"

"We can take the cavalry with us and look for traces of the Tatars in the surrounding area."

He Rong's eyes lit up: "It's a good idea. It's indeed a good idea. Just do what you said."

After finding a few local people, He Rong asked them to take him to Huhu Country.

Don't underestimate the Ming Dynasty's auxiliary soldiers. Although they don't have armor, they all carry matchlocks and artillery.

When stationed in place for defense, it's like a turtle shell.

Matchlock guns are now very easy for the Ming Dynasty to make, and the monthly output has exceeded 100,000. This is also the main firearm of the Ming Dynasty.

The considerable lethality has made today's matchlock guns the mainstream of the army.

The cavalry's charge was unable to cause strong damage at all under the matchlock muskets.

To charge directly would be to seek death.

The first person to find traces of Timur's army in the Western Region was Batu.

He ran all the way from the Golden Horde of Han to the Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty, crossing most of the grasslands.

As a Mongolian himself, he also knew the situation of Timur's army better.

In fact, Timur's cavalry had no intention of hiding in the Western Region, but the Western Region was too vast, and tens of thousands of people in such a huge place were really inconspicuous.

"I didn't expect that when we fought together, we still defeated the army of Samarkand."

Hasbogen sat on the horse and sighed.

Batu smiled: "I said at the beginning that it was right to follow the Ming Dynasty. Such a strong armor and powerful flintlock gun will only become its target if it is on the grassland."

"With them, our cavalry is invincible on this grassland."

Hasbagan clenched the flintlock gun in his hand. They grew up on horses, and they were also the Batulu in the clan. They were more accustomed to riding on horses than walking on the ground.

"That's right, with it, we are the invincible cavalry."

"Let's fight side by side this time and kill as hard as we can."

Back then, Hasbagon let Batu go. Later, great changes also occurred in the Golden Horde. The Tatars rebelled, and Batu accidentally rescued Hasbagon.

Hasbagan, who had nowhere to go, naturally followed Batu, and then also went to the grassland military base with him.

Riding skills are the pinnacle for them, so their performance in the grassland military base is very outstanding.

In fact, Hasbagon originally had the opportunity to fight for the position of a thousand knight commander, but he gave up on his own.

He wants to fight alongside his friend Batu.

Obviously, his expectation has now become a reality.

But now they are fighting for the Ming Dynasty.

While the two were chatting, the detective horse returned and immediately reported the whereabouts of Timur's army ahead.

"After two mountains, there is a lake, about fifty miles away. Timur's army is stationed at the lake."

"It was the people whose country was destroyed by them who told us that we have already investigated and we can indeed see traces of the army."

"They destroyed six small countries and plundered a lot of wealth."

"We don't dare to get too close, as we can easily be discovered by them."

After hearing the news reported by Tan Ma, Batu immediately decided to directly attack Timur's army.

A distance of more than fifty miles can be reached in half a day for a cavalry raid.

Here in the Western Region, it is different from other places. Even at Haishi, that is, at nine o'clock in the evening, the sky is still bright.

This is because winter has already begun. In the first two months, it would not get dark until the end of Haishi, which is eleven o'clock in the evening.

When we got the news, it was just past noon here in Batu.

"Let's start cooking, and when we're full, we'll attack directly."

Batu ordered.

The auxiliary troops immediately began to prepare.

The cavalrymen also inspected their armaments.

Everyone is very excited, because this will be the first battle to get the flintlock gun.

The power of the flintlock gave them enough confidence.

Each of these thousand cavalrymen was equipped with both flintlock muskets and matchlock muskets. The main concern was that flintlock muskets were too expensive and were most appropriately used only when attacking enemy troops.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

Eat and drink enough.

Under the leadership of Batu and Hasbagan, a thousand cavalry roared away.

Timur camp.

Here are just the branch cavalry coming to the Western Regions.

In addition to nearly two thousand cavalry, there were about ten thousand slave soldiers.

Originally there were not so many slave soldiers. The reason why the number increased was entirely due to Timur's cavalry to destroy the country.

After they destroyed the small country, they incorporated the surrendered troops into the slave army to serve their cavalry.

And bring them a lot of loot.

In the camp, many cavalrymen took a leisurely walk after meals to teach disobedient slaves a lesson.

These are their wealth.

"It's better to go here in the Western Regions. Tubo is too poor. They robbed several villages and didn't even have enough to fill their stomachs. It's not like here in the Western Regions. Many small countries look small, but the treasury still has some money. This time they can be considered rich.

"

A cavalryman smiled and said to his colleagues next to him, raised his whip and whipped the passing slave hard.

It has no other meaning, it's just convenient.

The beaten slave fell to the ground with his head lowered. If he made any resistance or anger, he would be killed immediately.

The cavalryman just laughed wildly.

The cavalryman next to him also said: "I heard a few days ago that there is a place called Huhu Country. There are two very beautiful princesses there who look exactly the same. It's a pity that their king sent them to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they would still be here.

You can have a taste."

The previous cavalry replied: "The Huhu Kingdom is too far away, and it is very close to Uzangdusi. If our army passes by, it will definitely attract attention. But I heard that Beiyuan has formed an alliance with us. If they join us in defeating Uzangdu,

Tibetan capital Sicheng, that is the great wealth."

"Whether it's women or gold, everything is available."

The two laughed loudly. In their opinion, it was only a matter of time before the city of Uzzandu was captured.

They had fought in so many places, even the powerful Ottoman Empire was defeated, and the emperor was even captured in Samarkand. Victory was only a matter of time.

Long-term victory also gives them strong self-confidence.

At this time, the ground suddenly felt a slight vibration.

After being stunned for a moment, the two men immediately realized that there were a large number of cavalry galloping.
