Several female warriors went to inquire about the news, then rode back and brought back traces of the enemy.
"In the Onon River pasture at the foot of the Sali Mountain in the northwest of Shaqiu, a group of Junggar people have just attacked a pasture. There are about 30 households in that pasture. The Junggar people are burning, killing and looting."
Tana asked, "Is it Chahan Obo?"
"It should be."
Zhao Laosan wears cotton armor, a pair of flint-hair handguns at his waist, a heavy bird gun on his back, a long sword and a short sword on his shoulder, and even a small leaf hammer. He also has a telescope and a pocket watch in his arms.
, the equipment was very complete, and he held the horse beside him patiently.
He understands the Mongolian language and knows that Mongolians are accustomed to naming names by the number of colors. For example, Chahan means white, Kara means black, Ak also means white like Chahan, Aksu, Aksai, Akalik, etc.
Mongolians worship white and Uighurs worship black.
Chahan Obo, which literally means white pile, is also called Aobao. On the grassland, it is so vast that it is difficult to distinguish the direction and location. Aobao is a very important geographical mark. In the past, Mongolians believed in shamans and worshiped all things as holy. Genghis Khan’s
Later generations have the tradition of worshiping holy mountains, but in many places there are no mountains, so they build mountains with rocks and regard them as gods.
In many pastures, there will be Aobao built by herdsmen with earth or stones. It is very sacred and is praised hereditary.
Even though most Mongolians have now converted to Tibetan Buddhism and worship the Gelug sect, their worship of Obo mountains and prayers for good luck has not changed.
Chahan Obo refers to both the white Obo at the foot of the Sali Mountain and the group of herdsmen grazing in the pastures of the Onon River at the foot of the mountain.
"How many are there?" Lao San asked directly.
"There are about a thousand riders and a lot of people." The inquiring female warrior replied.
Lao San and Tana had a battalion of more than 500 horses, mostly women. Only Lao San led a group of fifteen Hanhai men.
There are twice as many enemies as them.
This battle is not easy to fight.
However, Tana said to the battalion leader without any hesitation, "I would like to lead this sentry as the vanguard."
A sentry only has more than a hundred riders, but Tana is not afraid.
"Okay, sneak over there quietly, you whistle and we'll follow."
When Lao San saw this, he had no choice but to ask to act together with the outpost.
······
At the foot of the Surrey Mountains, on the banks of the Onon River.
On the Qingqing grassland, a group of Junggar cavalry attacked here. More than thirty families of herdsmen tried to resist but were easily defeated.
The victors sacked the camp.
They captured the young and strong men who resisted, stripped them down to their shorts, and then tied them up with cowhide ropes without wooden shackles. These men who defended their homeland were declared their fate by the victors and became Junggars.
's slave.
Other men, women and children were also driven out of the tent.
A Junggar man pushed a herdsman's wooden cart over, took out the captive boys, and pulled them to the wheel for comparison.
Those who were taller than a wheel would have their hands tied in shackles and taken away as slaves.
Young women were also taken into slavery.
The elderly and the children who were no taller than a wheel were left behind.
Those who resisted fiercely were beheaded by the Junggar cavalry and impaled on wooden stakes as a public deterrent.
A boy was just taller than the wheel and was about to be taken away. His mother rushed up to hug the child and begged him not to be taken away. The man fought hard but the woman refused.
The husband is taken away, the father-in-law is taken away, the eldest son is taken away, the daughter-in-law is taken away, and if the younger son is taken away again, then the family will be completely broken up.
The Dzungar man couldn't tear him apart, so he was so angry that he slashed the boy's head with a knife. He cut off a piece of the skull several times, and then spat at the woman, "Now he is not as tall as a wheel, he can stay here forever."
I’ll stay with you.”
After saying that, he ignored the old woman's sad cries and curses, turned around and went to pull another young man.
Some people searched for property in the tent, including iron pots, wooden barrels, felts, blankets, and even leather bags and wooden bowls. Someone discovered the hiding woman in the tent and pounced on her.
There are also people driving herdsmen's cattle and sheep on the grassland, trying to take them all away.
Except for the old, small, sick and disabled, they will take away everyone else, along with their cattle, sheep, livestock, tents and belongings. As for what to do with the old, weak, sick and disabled who are left behind, the Junggar people do not care.
We have no intention of occupying this area south of the Irtysh River and north of Talbahatai Mountain.
Although the grassland of the Onon River between the Salishan Mountains and Zhaisangbo is very fertile, now is not the time to occupy it, but now to conquer and plunder.
Some people just came back to slaughter the sheep, peeled the skin and bones, set it up with a stolen pot, lit dry cow dung, and cooked large chunks of mutton under cold water. Others ate milk tofu snatched from the tent and drank milk tea.
, danced happily.
The sky is getting dark.
Zhao Laosan and Tana have been waiting far away. The grassland is open and they will be exposed from a distance. They are waiting for dark.
You can approach quietly after dark.
When facing enemies that are twice as many as one's own, one must rely on sneak attacks.
Tana is very patient and can even seize the time to take a nap. The third child is not a beginner in the battlefield, but this time he is following Tana, but he is always very upset.
He is like a male lion, guarding his territory and his lioness, looking around with vigilant eyes from time to time.
It became completely dark.
Tana also opened her eyes, stretched out, and rubbed her eyes. The third child quickly handed over the water bag. Tana took a few sips and smiled at him.
He stood up and woke up the other female warriors, "Let's relieve ourselves quickly, eat some solid food, and get ready to fight."
The female warriors all had bright eyes, like little female leopards, and quickly entered a fighting state.
In a short time, they were ready.
"Mount!"
Darkness is the best cover.
The Junggar people were still resting in the camp. Although there were not many herdsmen, there were more than thirty households, but they had a lot of cattle and sheep. They slaughtered a lot of sheep and a cow, stewed it in a big pot, and grilled it directly on skewers.
After making a few more pots of milk tea, the Junggar people gathered around the fire in groups of three, five, and seven or eight, roasting meat, cooking meat, and drinking tea. It was very enjoyable, and some were singing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is far away from the Irtysh River and Burqin Fort, and further from Fuhai. It is not far from the old city of Junggar, Hoboksali, and is only separated by the Sali Mountain.
.
Most of the cavalry were quite alert and did not take off their armor, but no one thought that the Dulberts would come here. After all, there were several Dzungar troops outside them.
There were also people guarding the perimeter while they were resting.
They were eating meat and drinking tea, while a group of Dulbert prisoners next to them were tied to wooden stakes with shackles and fed to mosquitoes. They had to watch these people kill their own cattle and sheep to eat meat and drink tea. They were extremely angry but helpless.
Some people kept cursing unwillingly and refused to obey even though they were whipped.
The curse attracted another Dzungar man. He took the riding whip and whipped it down. However, the whip did not fall. He raised his hand high, but stopped.
A short sword suddenly penetrated the back of his head, and then the third child put his hand around his throat, hugged him tightly, and put him down after a while.
The Dulbert herdsman who couldn't stop cursing was also stunned, and the sound in his mouth stopped.
The Dzungar people in the distance thought they had been beaten with whips and laughed and cursed.
Tana emerged from the dark night, whispered her identity to the herdsmen, told them to be silent, and then cut their ropes with a knife.
The man who had been cursing just now immediately pulled out the knife from the slain Junggar man and joined the team to help rescue his companions.
A Dzungar man over there shouted to this side, "Don't beat that untouchable to death. Just give him a couple of whips. Come and eat some meat. This beef has been stewed for a long time. It's so tender. You don't get such an opportunity every day."
"
The third child said nothing, lowered his head and walked toward them.
One person even made room for him.
The third child came closer and suddenly took action, stabbing the back of a person's neck with a short knife. Then he raised his foot and kicked over the pot of beef. The overturned beef soup poured over the people next to him, causing them to panic and escape.
Then what are you doing by scolding the third child?
Lao Sanba also stabbed the man next to him in the ribs, stirred it several times before pulling out the knife.
At this time, someone finally realized that the third child was not the Junggar companion who had just left, and shouted loudly.
The third child also directly pulled out a flintlock gun and pointed it at him.
The bang of a gun broke through the tranquility of the night and also broke the originally cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.
Tana also jumped out of the dark night, firing a string of arrows from her hand. Her bow was fast and accurate. In the blink of an eye, she shot three or four arrows, knocking down one person with one arrow.
A Dzungar soldier raised a sword from the side and pounced towards him. The third child yelled to be careful, pulled out his long sword and slashed at him.
He blocked the fierce attack of the Junggar people with one knife, then squatted down, shoulder-to-shoulder and hit the opponent's chest, knocking him back again and again. He chased after him fiercely and stabbed the opponent's body with his knife.
The gunfire sounded, and the battle horn was blown.
The outposts that had already sneaked over jumped out of the darkness one after another, and the other female warriors behind them directly activated their mounts and launched a charge.
The Junggar people were caught off guard.
The sentries on their outer perimeter did not discover Laosan and the others in time, and they were directly touched by the camp.
The Han navy soldiers under Lao San even took out Thunder Thunder one after another. The damage effect of this thing is not great, but if it is ignited and thrown into the enemy, it can make a loud sound, like thunder shaking the sky.
Booming grenades continued to explode, making the camp even more chaotic.
In the blink of an eye, the leader of the female warrior battalion roared and charged in with his horse. In the dark night, these Dulbert female cavalrymen seemed to have descended from heaven. These vengeful widows were as fierce as the men. They stabbed with spears, chopped with knives, and shot with bows.
, move forward indomitably.
The female warrior camp of more than 500 people directly defeated the Junggar people of 1,000 people. They were scattered in the dark night and could not gather together.
Laosan and Tana also remounted their horses and galloped, slashing and killing along the way.
The third child rushed in front of Tana all the way, always protecting him. In the past, the third child often fought against the wind, and was always ready to run away when the wind went wrong. But today, he was like the god of war coming to the world, always rushing ahead.
, if gods stop killing people, Buddhas should kill Buddhas.
The leader of this thousand-man Dzungarian army was Taiji Enke. He also tried to block the charge led by the third brother and wanted to regroup his troops. As a result, the third brother charged straight through and killed his guards.
Enke, a tall and sturdy man, raised his eight-foot-long spear on his horse and rushed towards Lao San, intending to throw him into the air and assassinate him.
The two cavalrymen approached, but the third child suddenly pulled out the reloaded flintlock pistol and fired it at the big fat man who was close at hand.
With a bang, Lao San, who had amazing marksmanship, shot Enke directly in the fat face.
Enke suddenly fell from his horse like pushing a golden mountain over a jade pillar.
Tana, who was following the third horse, had not yet fired the arrow in her hand. Unexpectedly, the third brother killed the warrior off the horse. Tana raised her bow and shot down another Junggar cavalryman who was charging towards the third brother.
Next, he cast an admiring look at the third child.
