During Liu Haojia's march, he also encountered two and a half small tribes. Two of the small tribes were too alert. It was not until the army approached that they hurriedly put away their felt tents and drove their cattle and sheep towards the grassland.
, very embarrassed!
Liu Haojia did not let anyone chase him, but under the leadership of the instructors who refused to accept him at night, he went to two tribes and extorted ten sheep and two cows from each tribe, fed them to the young ones below, and then let them go.
The other half of the tribe is that there is a small tribe that is very smart. They discovered Ye Bu Sui as soon as they showed up, and then they packed up their belongings and ran away! Even Ye Bu Sui couldn't catch their tail, so it can only be counted as half
.
Liu Haojia has no plans to hunt down such a small tribe, because they are too poor and pitiful. They don't even have many young people, and most of them are old, weak, women and children. Even if he wanted military glory, he would not kill old, weak, women and children.
Get started on your body.
The grassland looks very quiet and peaceful, but in fact the living conditions inside are extremely cruel! The real good grasslands are all in the control of those large tribes, and many other small tribes rely on them to survive. There are also some wandering tribes that have no grassland at all.
They live in the gap between large tribes and small tribes.
The three small tribes Liu Haojia discovered belong to this kind of wandering tribe. They have no pasture at all and can only risk living quietly in the no-man's land between the Ming army and the Tatars. Whether they encounter annexation by other tribes or
If the Ming army causes trouble, or even a white disaster, these small tribes will disappear on the grassland in an instant!
Therefore, the people on the grassland are tough and fearless because they face death all the time, and they have to be tough! Otherwise, any factors such as wolf plague, white plague, wind disaster, drought, war, etc. will make them die without a burial place!
This harsh environment has also given rise to many strange rules, such as the brother-in-law marriage. The brother-in-law marriage means that after the elder brother dies, the younger brother will marry his sister-in-law back home.
This kind of behavior is considered unethical to the Han people, but in fact it is a kind of compassionate approach in the grasslands! Because under such harsh living conditions, those women and children have lost the backbone of their families.
If they can't survive, they can only survive by marrying with their children! So it is said that the soil and water support the people of the same place, and the seemingly strange rules in various places are caused by their special local environment.
In this way, Liu Haojia led his soldiers to move forward slowly on the prairie, conducting exercises every few days, and even conducted a live-fire training in the middle. The target was a group of yellow sheep driven in at night!
Under the intensive attack of firecrackers and artillery, the limbs of this unlucky yellow sheep were shattered, and there were no casualties! In the end, only a few dozen of the thousands of yellow sheep escaped! This is because Liu Haojia has a good life and has no intention of killing him.
They are killing the species to extinction, otherwise none of them will be able to escape!
After killing the yellow sheep, Liu Haojia ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and the killed yellow sheep were used as extra meals for the soldiers! Of course the soldiers cheered after hearing the order, but when they were cleaning up the yellow sheep, every one of them had a sad face! Because they didn't
The yellow sheep that were rarely hit by artillery were simply a pile of minced meat, which was impossible to clean up!
That is to say, the yellow sheep that was hit by the fire gun still had a whole corpse, but there was another problem here, that is, the lead bullets had to be dug out, otherwise the meat would not be edible! But in order to eat fresh meat, the soldiers
Still gritting his teeth, he cleaned up the body of the yellow sheep, peeled off the skin and hair, and ate two delicious meals!
But just as the soldiers were packing up the yellow sheep, there were already vultures circling in the sky, and there were even wolves peeking out at the edge of the battlefield! However, they did not rush over because there were too many people. As soon as the soldiers evacuated
The battlefield was completely covered by scavengers and poultry of all sizes, and the minced meat left on the battlefield was probably enough for them to have a full meal.
In this way, Liu Hao's family led a large group of people to walk and practice, and finally approached Datong Town. He calculated the time and estimated that he would be close to Zhangjiakou in about ten days. When he arrived in Zhangjiakou, the task of patrolling the border would be completed. But he
He was not going to announce the news to the soldiers because he wanted them to stay alert until the end.
That night, after the soldiers set up camp as usual, Liu Haojia inspected the camp as usual, served dinner, and then prepared to rest. But what he didn't know was that there was a large army approaching in the distance!
This team is all composed of Mongolians, and they are all young and strong. Many of them even wear uniform leather armor. At a glance, you can tell that this is a team composed of regular troops and Mongolian herdsmen.
There are three people riding side by side in the team. They are the leaders of this team at first glance. All three of them have traditional Mongolian hairstyles, that is, their scalps are shaved clean, leaving only two locks of hair on both sides.
.
This is not because Mongolians like to dress up in fancy clothes, but it is also forced by reality! Because Mongolians live on water and grass, they are always in a state of water shortage, so they rarely take a bath. This is easy to breed parasites, so the hair should be cut to a minimum
This can minimize the damage caused by parasites and make it less likely to get sick.
In fact, this is not only true for the Mongolians, but also for tribes that lack water and cannot bathe regularly. For example, this is how the money rat tail of the Qing Dynasty came to be!
These Tungus savages have lived in the old forests for generations, and they can count how many times they take a bath in a year. Therefore, only in this way are they less likely to get sick. Otherwise, depending on the medical conditions at the time, once an infectious disease occurs, a tribe will be affected.
It can be finished!
The three people are all leaders of the tribe. The one on the left has two big gold rings hanging on his ears. His name is Bahunai. The one in the middle is thicker and his name is Haqi. The one on the right is you.
Much thinner than the other two people, this person's name is Ansge.
The three people walked forward confidently, and at the same time they were talking about the raid on Liu Haojia tonight. These three people were invited by Hu Zhiyu and Zhang Yuanfeng. They were going to raid Liu Haojia's camp tonight and try to kill Liu Haojia.
Although the three people are all leaders of the tribe, they are obviously led by Haqi in the middle. Because the other two tribes are stationed far away from here, they can only send people to station in Haqi's tribe, and Haqi provides
Give them cattle, sheep and food, and these materials will be compensated in the spoils of war, so he naturally gains leadership!
At this time, I heard Hutch say: "You have all heard the report just now. Their night harvest has been withdrawn, and it seems that they are preparing to set up camp."
