Chapter 44: Encirclement and interception
Huang Yi saw that Hedanbaater spoke with all his heart and soul, and decided to get some more benefits.
So he proposed to give Qi Dashan and his son to him as well.
Blacksmiths are also indispensable to the Mongolian tribes, otherwise horseshoes will be a problem.
Huang Yi made this request after he already knew that there were three blacksmiths in Kachagute's department and none of them died in the melee.
The reason why I chose to ask for something else is because the three blacksmiths are a father and son, and they are all Mongolians.
We fought one after another and captured a lot of armor, most of which needed repair. The more blacksmiths, the better.
Hedanbaat'er was a little reluctant to give Qi Dashan and his son to Huang Yi. But he didn't want to disappoint the first hero because of this matter.
Then he suddenly had an idea, and with a smile on his face asked Huang Yi for the "artifact" that could glow at night.
Both night attacks resulted in small battle losses and large gains. The "artifact" was not only a luminous object that led the knights, but also a spiritual pillar for the knights.
Hedanbaatar has been thinking about it for a long time, but he wants to lose face and is too embarrassed to ask for it.
Today, Huang Yi took advantage of what he wanted, so he went all out.
Uh! Huang Yi thought to himself: This leader has also learned how to bargain, and everyone knows how to get what he wants. He can be taught this!
What could he say except that such an "artifact" should be dedicated to the great leader.
He has already thought about it. From now on, he can put his mobile phone in the breast pocket of the jacket. The jacket is also waterproof.
When Hedanbaatar saw that Huang Yi had agreed, he was a little embarrassed and said a lot of thanks in a jittery voice.
Although Huang Yi secretly laughed in his heart, he pretended to have a disappointed expression on his face.
Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong have basically asked them clearly.
It is possible that the Jiannu were implementing the military-first policy and doing everything they could to strengthen the army, so they needed blacksmiths and would not sell them for money.
Therefore, among the hundreds of Han Chinese, there are those who have worked as cobblers, masons, potters, carpenters, painters, tailors, and tinkers, but there are no blacksmiths.
Of course, after coming to the prairie as slaves, the Han slaves learned to herd and raise horses.
After winning the battle, the property, population, livestock, etc. doubled. Hedanbaatar, Karatu, etc. were all concerned about their wives and children in the camp.
The property, materials, and population of the Kachagute tribe were all spoils of war, and they all had to go south to join the original tribe. There were so many pots and jars, and the migration speed was worrying.
Calculated by walking thirty miles a day, it would take more than ten days to arrive.
After discussing with Kalatu and others, Hedanbaatar decided to take away the eighty elite knights who participated in the attack and the forty young men from the original Kachagute tribe.
Just like when we came here, we need at least two horses per person, and only bring three days' worth of dry food and horse feed, trying to get back to the starting point within two days.
The remaining men, horses, supplies, livestock, etc. are all handed over to Huang Yi's leadership. If an accident occurs, sentries and cavalry will be sent out in time to report the news.
Huang Yi supported Hedanbater's decision to split up.
It also fully shows that this leader is very capable of thinking.
The vast majority of those who followed Hedanbaat'er were the original troops, well-equipped new troops, bringing with them all the young and middle-aged men of the newly surrendered Kachagute tribe, and they were not afraid of any unusual movements by these people.
Moreover, these people's wives, children, and children are all in Huang Yi's team at the back, so they are bound to take advantage of them.
Huang Yi's team is very large, but it's a pity that it's just a lookalike. The only young and middle-aged knights who can fight on horseback and not lose in a one-on-one fight with the Jiannu armored men are the two brothers Amuguleng, Chalahe and nine others.
.
They were all Mongolians managed by Huang Yi, and Hedanbaatar deliberately kept them in order to strengthen the strength of the migrating team.
Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong, etc. could barely fight on horseback with more than a hundred Mongolian teenagers. It is estimated that encountering Jiannu armored men, or dueling with eight hundred serious Mongolian knights, two against one would be difficult.
But outsiders don't know that the vast majority of this team are old people and young people. They can only see from a distance more than 300 knights carrying bows and arrows and wielding Mongolian swords.
Hedanbaatar trusts Huang Yi and is absolutely relieved to hand over the team to Huang Yi.
Besides, he also had selfish motives. The people in this team were all newly captured, and there were no relatives of his at all. Even if he was attacked by a tribe and there were many casualties everywhere, so what?
At worst, he will continue to bring fresh troops to take revenge. As long as Huang Yi is not killed, he will not suffer a loss.
At this time, Huang Yi was a god-like existence in Hedanbaat'er's mind, and could not be exchanged for a lot of money...
When he came, he was as fast as the wind; when he left, he dragged his family and his mouth slowly.
Feeling bored, Huang Yi selected more than half of all the Mongolian men who could ride horses and shoot arrows, and formed six teams, old and young, with thirty-three people in each team.
He led a team himself.
What are you planning to do? Of course, it is to swallow up all the Mongolian families or micro-tribes that can be found through the telescope.
Every time, Huang Yi observed the target and sent at least three teams to chase and intercept it.
This is a fight to expand the tribe and force surrender as much as possible.
Huang Yi was able to anticipate the enemy and could arrange a group of troops to advance forward in advance, and the two groups of troops could outflank the enemy in a roundabout way. Even the Mongolians, who were born with escape skills, could not escape.
Along the way, there was almost no killing.
Because when they saw three columns of thirty-three cavalrymen and eleven people rushing towards them, the only choice for the two or three hunted young Mongolian men was to escape. When they found that there were more people and horses behind them to intercept them, they all chose to dismount and surrender.
Without exception.
They didn't know that the group of people rushing over were just show-stoppers, and there were only a few people who could fight on horseback and in close combat.
The final result was very good. Within seven or eight days, 11 Mongolian families surrendered, and 19 new young knights were added to Huang Yi's team.
Huang Yi did not bully others. After forcing these people to surrender, he found that the Han slaves were confiscated and his property was not confiscated.
When they were camping, they also took them to drink kumis and eat mutton. Gradually, these Mongolians lost their intention to escape.
On the ninth day, Huang Yi, who led three teams of men and horses deliberately deviated from the migration route for thirty miles, finally discovered the big fish.
It was a small tribe with more than forty yurts.
Ordinary families of the grassland tribes build one or at most two yurts. For tribes with more than forty yurts, it can be calculated that the total number of men is no less than 30 and no more than 60.
Huang Yi now has nineteen more young and middle-aged knights at his disposal, and his combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.
He made a prompt decision and concentrated his troops to swallow up the small tribe he had just discovered.
Huang Dayong, Huang Dazhi, and Agudamu immediately turned back to contact the other three teams.
At this time, the strength of the six teams has increased a lot.
That's because nineteen young and middle-aged knights and more than twenty young men and old men who can ride horses and shoot arrows have been added.
