Chapter 61 Preparations for War

Spring Village, after several months, Ulutus returned to the village he built himself. What caught his eye was the collapsed wooden house or the wooden house slowly collapsed in the decay!

A few months ago, this was a village that helped the whole village get through the cold in winter. It was also when building wooden houses, which was too busy, so the wood used was not fully dried. This also led to too high moisture inside the wood, which might be fine in the winter ice and snowy environment. When the snow melts in spring and the temperature rises, a large amount of moisture will slowly decay the entire wooden board from the inside to the outside. As well, the entire wooden house slowly decays in the natural environment.

If someone repaired it at this time, the wooden house could be rescued. But after Ulutus led the tribe to the east shore of Hulun Lake, the lively Spring Village inevitably declined.

Even Ulutus later sent a small group of herders to stay here. However, the number of people was limited and they could not live in so many houses. What's more, compared with the humid wooden house, the convenient tents for dismantling are more suitable for the living habits of herders.

So under such circumstances, Chunzhi Village almost disappeared among the weeds.

However, the wooden house symbolizing Spring Village is about to disappear, but the herdsmen representing the existence of the Ulutus tribe are still living in this territory.

As the owner of this fief, Ulutus never felt that his fief was a little redundant. Moreover, this territory was backed by the Great Xing'an Mountains, facing the endless grasslands, with a transition zone of sparse forests and grasslands in the middle. Clear river water flowed out from the mountains, watering the entire land.

Small is a little small, but it is also secret enough. During the rebellion of horse bandits, Chunzhi Village can maintain a peaceful living environment as always without being affected by chaos, which is also due to this.

But now this land ushered in the grand occasion several months ago. A large number of tents were stationed here, and a small group of cavalry were patrolling outside. Groups of cattle and sheep were slowly eating grass in the grass a little further away, and a small number of camels came here to transport supplies under the leadership of the caravan.

This was arranged by Ulutus in advance!

Because only in this way can he gain the greatest benefit in this battle against bandits.

At this moment, in the central tent, a cavalry sent out to reconnaissance reported to Ulutus the result of the battle crossing the river last night.

Without any accident, the bandits lost. They abandoned the camp and were trapped in the massacre of the coalition forces who were chasing and angry.

"The prince is wise! If our tribe also raided the horse bandit camp last night, we would be the one who was ambushed." After hearing the scouts' remarks about the outcome of the war, Abalu couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat.

It turned out that after Ulutus and his team crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Hailar River yesterday, the cavalry below were determined to rush to the horse bandit camp, so as to gain greater contributions on the battlefield than other tribes.

So when Ulutus crossed the river not only did not go down the river, but went north along the river and set up camp all the way to his former garrison, many cavalrymen thought it was delaying their credit, and they were full of incomprehension.

But now, the results on the battlefield prove how wise Ulutus' choice was.

"Haha, there is no need to flatter you. Yesterday, the bandits suddenly attacked, so why were they not prepared at all? We went to sneak attack so stupidly, and it is hard to say that we would not be able to follow their words. We brought you here to stay, and we also wanted to see what the bandits planned to do before we could do it."

Ulutus explained with a smile, but no one would believe it, either of them would believe it. Because if he hadn't prepared it, how could he have prepared so many fire tubes here in advance? And unlike the three and two fire tubes sold to the coalition forces, this time we sent four or five fire tubes tied together, and projectile crossbows similar to bows and crossbows, but far thicker and heavier than it.

This is actually a combination of a modified version of the crossbow and a reduced version of the trencher. Using the ejection power of the crossbow, a small fire bomb can be ejected to a longer distance.

It's just that the accuracy is not high, and the range is worse than that of the fire tube. However, the advantage is that the explosion effect is good and the power is high. And the lethality of a fire bullet is equivalent to the three launches of the fire tube. Because the iron and porcelain content inside are much more than the fire tube shot at one time.

Unfortunately, the current use of black gunpowder with low intensity is still used, otherwise the power of the explosion can be further improved.

But it’s a pity that Ulutus is an easy person to satisfy. It’s already great that the current social conditions can produce black gunpowder and put it on the battlefield. If you move forward, you can only use time to slowly accumulate experience.

More importantly, Eastern Mongolia now has no force that can match its own firepower advantage.

After the war is over, his tribe and the firearms he owns will also be exposed to everyone. Especially the risks and challenges that Genghis Khan, the prince uncle of the Western Expedition, will face at that time be a headache!

Of course, these are all future events. The most important thing for Ulutus is how to fight this battle well.

Just as he was thinking this way, the newly sealed "Dazhen Kingdom West Road Recruitment Envoy" in the Heishan City to the north explained the reason why he made his own proposition under the questioning of the envoy of the Dazhen Kingdom.

"Don't be anxious! As long as the king of the country grants me the Western Recruitment Envoy, I will definitely defeat the Mongolian coalition and open up territory for the Dazhen Kingdom!" Wanyan Duosba sat on the head and kept his promise to Pu Cha, the envoy of the Dazhen Kingdom with a bad face.

"Hmph! The king supported you at the beginning, but he didn't let you arouse the anger of the Mongols under the banner of the Great Zhen Kingdom. The king never set up such an official position on the west road. If you are obsessed with it, regardless of the anger of the Great Zhen Kingdom, then how could the king supported you at the beginning? In the future, he would use the same means to turn you into a fugitive slave like a stray dog." Pu Cha was not polite and scolded Wanyan Duosba without hesitation.

Others may not know Wanyan Duosba's feet. Pu Cha Shouxin, a close minister of the country, knew that this Wanyan family not only had nothing to do with the royal family of the Great Jin Kingdom, but also Nayan, who also came from the Hongjila tribe who also came from the grassland like the Mongols.

It was just that the other party was too bold and asked the Yixiang Ge army to almost execute him. Someone simply let him go with his own selfish intentions, and then he fell from the grassland to the Dazhen Kingdom in Liaodong like a dog.

Because of his bravery and courage, he was appreciated by the king. He secretly sponsored him and asked him to recruit soldiers and horses in the chaotic areas ruled by the Dazhen Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom, so as to enter the grassland to make some trouble for the Mongols, so as to alleviate the military pressure in the north of the Dazhen Kingdom, and successfully annex the entire Liao Kingdom and dominate Liaodong.
