On the way back, Xiao Zhiyan couldn't help but sigh and said, "After following you on the grassland, I found that I had been in the grassland for seven or eight years!"

"I was born into a businessman and I first considered the word "right" in everything. Everyone has their own expertise. Just like I will never learn your archery skills!" Zhai Zhe immediately made a bow and shot the eagle, and said, "What's more, there are examples in Zhangjiakou that I can learn and use now!"

Xiao Zhiyan was still unbelievable, and he said a few times, "Tumot Khan, who used to be unattainable, now he will cooperate with us horse thieves!"

"We are not horse thieves, but businessmen." Zhai Zhe corrected Xiao Zhiyan's mistakes.

"The Tumot people don't know our background. Omubuhan believes that we are wealthy businessmen from the pass. He can only cooperate with those who are useful to him, so our actions should be as soon as possible!" Zhai Zhe urged the horse to speed up.

When the two returned to the residence of Uliji on the Tokto Grassland, the remaining personal soldiers were already restless, and Che Feng, who was stationed in the mountains and forests, also sent people to inquire about the news.

When Zhai Zhe saw Che Feng, the first sentence was: "How did you survive for so many days?"

"We, we!" Che Feng hesitated, "We stole the cattle and sheep of the Tumots!"

Zhai Zhe laughed and said, "I'm still worried that you will starve to death here."

Horse thieves in the mountains of Linger were rampant, especially against the Tumots. Most of them were once herd slaves of the Tumots. The war made them lose their support and had to attack their former masters. The Chahars had a cavalry patrolling the Tokto grasslands, and strictly prohibited the Tumots from living together, which made the horse thieves like fish in water. They did not dare to attack the Chahar herdsmen, and could only place their targets on the scattered Tumots.

The horse thieves rely on the advantage of numbers to grab the horse. Today is not as good as before. As long as it is not too much, the Tumot herders can only endure it silently. The patrol Chahar cavalry turned a blind eye to the horse thieves, and it is hard to say that they did not receive the instructions of Lin Danhan.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, several nomads such as Temur were getting closer and closer to the mountainous areas, which were once a place that herders could not avoid.

On the morning of that day, Xiao Zhiyan was teaching Wu Liji how to shoot arrows. Zhai Zhe was chatting with several herdsmen, and suddenly more than a dozen cavalrymen rushed out of the mountains and forests.

"Horse thief!" Temuer's face changed and he rushed into the yurt to take out the bow and arrow.

The people who came were not in a hurry and surrounded them in a fan shape.

The leader drew out a scimitar and shouted: "Don't panic, we only have some livestock!"

Xiao Zhiyan lowered the bow and slowly moved closer.

"No livestock, greedy robber!" Temuer spitted on the ground with a fierce mouthful of phlegm.

The leader of the horse thief smiled grimly and showed a pair of yellow front teeth, shouting: "Don't toast or not eat the punishment!"

Two of the horse thieves ran directly to the herd.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhiyan raised his hand and shot the thief's head in the chest. Zhai Zhe shouted: "Take it!" and rushed towards the big dark horse not far away.

The Tumots' bows and arrows flew around, and four horse thieves were immediately caught and fell.

The horse thief did not expect that the herdsmen would dare to resist. When they recovered, they saw eight or nine people rushing towards them, rushing towards them with swords and shouting. Two more were shot in an arrow. They hurriedly turned back and fought back while fleeing back to the mountains.

Zhai Zhe and others did not chase after him. Seeing that the horse thief disappeared, they immediately drove the camp to drive the animals away from the mountainous areas and migrated to the grassland.

Wu Liji followed Xiao Zhiyan and asked in a low voice: "Will the horse thief chase after him?" Since seeing Xiao Zhiyan's archery technique, he was so impressed that even such exquisite archery techniques were rarely seen among the Mongols.

"It's definitely possible. We killed six people. They haven't suffered such a loss in a long time!" Zhai Zhe replied in the front

The yurts migrated very quickly, and the Tumots drove the livestock west with all their might, and there was an unobstructed grassland.

Go west, go west! In the afternoon, Xiao Zhiyan, who stayed behind to look, caught up and shouted: "Here you come!"

Zhai Zhezong went up to the top of a grass slope and saw a bunch of black shadows moving towards this side at the junction of grasslands and mountains in the distance.

"Nearly two hundred people!" Xiao Zhiyan stretched out his tongue, as if he was tasting the delicious food.

The herdsmen continued to travel west, and Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan disappeared after crossing a grass hill.

On the horizon that was far away, the horse thief was full of anger. In the past month, no Tumote dared to resist his collection. Seeing that the former owner of the Monan grassland was shivering and trembling under his scimitar, the grass sledge felt indescribable pleasure. Today, some herders dared to resist and killed six brothers in the mountain village! Cao Shangfei doubted whether he was too kind to the Tumote people on weekdays. Now he wanted to teach these people a bloody lesson.

After chasing for a long time, they finally saw the fleeing herders. "It's right in front!" The horse thieves shouted.

Cao Shangfei pulled out the scimitar and "rush over! Kill them all!"

The horse thieves are getting closer and closer to the fleeing herders and are getting farther and farther away from the mountains and forests.

When I passed through a grass slope, I suddenly heard a bowstring sound, followed by a scream.

The arrows were raining like rain on the top of the slope. The dense formation of horse thieves when they were chasing them made it impossible for them to disperse quickly. The shot people were on their backs and turned a cavalry from behind the grass slope, with more than 300 people.

"There is an ambush!" Cao Shangfei yelled, too careless, and he would not be ambushed on the grassland if he was cautious.

Under the gesture of Griletu, the Tumoth cavalry dispersed like a net, and the bows and arrows in their hands were like poisonous snakes that devoured people, reaping the lives of horse thieves.

Cao Shangfei only glanced at him for a few seconds and realized that this was not an ordinary herdsman, this was the elite Tumot cavalry!

"Retreat!" Cao Shangfei turned his horse's head. The more arrogant he was when he came, the more regretful he would be at this time.

Xiao Zhiyan led fifty cavalry to the right side of the horse thief and kept releasing bows and arrows. These people were all \u66

The most elite horse thief in the 2f village is now as young as a child compared to the cavalry of Tumot Khan.

Zhai Zhe and Princess Ulan watched the battle on the top of the slope.

Princess Ulan shook her pony whip and praised: "Your guard is not bad!"

"On the grassland, no one can be an enemy of the Mongols!" Zhai Zhe's words are not a compliment. The Tumot cavalry is like a maggot with its thorns, entangling the horse thief surrounding the encirclement.

Zhai Zhe whispered: "We must end the battle as soon as possible, and we must not let Chahar discover it!"

Princess Ulan kicked her small leather boots and urged her horse to chase after her and ordered: "Accept surrender!"

Geriletu heard the order and shouted: "Those who surrendered will not die!"

"Those who surrender will not die!" Crying sounds one after another. Some of the horse thieves in despair immediately jumped off their horses and knelt on the ground. Most of them were just muslims half a year ago, so they had never encountered such a scene.

Cao Shangfei looked at the lush forest in the distance. He could not escape. He left his back to the Tumoth cavalry, who was still alive. Once his confidence expanded, he lost his life. Cao Shangfei smiled bitterly in his heart and urged his horse to rush towards the Tumoth cavalry who was shouting. The confidants behind him followed closely.

The two armies were short-lived, and the grass flew to avoid the long sword that was chopped by the long sword. The scimitar passed through the armpit of the opposite knight, and then quickly chopped the Mongolians who were entangled with his personal soldiers. Geriletu kicked the horse and stabbed it hard, hitting his left arm. Before he could react, Geriletu's horse was still stunning, abandoned the spear and bullied it to his side, pulling out the scimitar from his waist and slashed hard on his neck. In the pain, he could no longer control his balance and fell from the horse and disappeared into the horse's hooves.

"Those who surrender are exempt from death!"

Cao Shangfei died in battle, and the horse thieves had no intention of fighting and surrendered one after another. The most important thing for them to survive.

Half an hour later, the surrendered horse thief handed over the knife and arrow, tied his companion's body to the horse, and retreated into the mountains and forests under the escort of the Tumot cavalry. The grassland was as calm as before.

"Eighty-six corpses, one hundred and twelve prisoners!" Geriletu counted the number of people and reported to Princess Ulan.

Zhai Zhe was secretly shocked, the Tumot cavalry killed people at an astonishing speed, \u6c

a1 The trained horse thief can't fight head-on.

Princess Ulan pointed the thigh at the terrified prisoner and said to Zhai Zhe: "I have given all these people to you!" The Han people were never needed in the Mongol cavalry. Through this battle, she announced to the Tumotes on the Tokto grassland that the Khan tent could still protect them, and had achieved her goal.

"I want to capture their village!" Zhai Zhe nodded and said, "The thief leader is dead. I have just tried it. There are only fifty or sixty people in the village in Motianling!"

Princess Ulan pondered for a moment and agreed, "Okay, with a stronghold, we don't have to take risks all the time in the grassland!" Creating a horse thief for the Tumot cavalry to cover up, Ulan instantly understood Zhai Zhe's idea.
