Chapter 482 Tartars keep sending war horses

Chapter 482 The Tartars keep sending horses

"superior!"

The seal waved gently,

A Marine soldier quietly stepped forward and slowly sneaked into the cabin. Zhang Yin also stepped forward and entered the cabin. Behind him, more soldiers entered. Gao Yu and others were responsible for the alert outside and provided reinforcements at any time.

"Bang!"

"Plop!"

A dull gunshot came, and some people fell to the ground.

The people outside were slightly stunned, not knowing what was happening inside. Fortunately, Zhangyin quickly made a gesture to the outside world, indicating that the people who were killed were all the Tartars and the Hu Ben Army themselves did not suffer any casualties. At the same time, he needed personnel support. So more soldiers entered in a row. On the deck outside, only Gao Yu was responsible for the alert.

Wang Chenglin also jumped onto the Tartar boat with a tiger gun, and at the same time, there were ten armed sailors. They all carried hawkeye guns. However, they were not professional fighters after all, and they would not rashly join the battle until the Marines needed help. Huang Shijun immediately commanded everyone to comfort the horses so that the ducks they got would not fly away again.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Then, gunshots came intermittently inside the cabin.

A faint groan of the Tartars came. The gunshots and screams quickly mixed together. Finally, there were a few lonely gunshots. After the gunshots, all the moans and screams disappeared. Soon after, the seal came out from inside, indicating that all the Tartars had been cleared. Unfortunately, there were no war horses in the cabin.

Old Hantou and a few sailors went down the cabin to serve as helmsmans, and completely controlled the ship. The original sailors of the Tartar boat were all driven out and gathered together. After counting, there were 56 sailors in total. After interrogation, they were all officers and soldiers of the original Dongjiang Town. The leader of the navy was named Chen Yongnian. Huang Shijun ordered him to be detained alone.

At this time, Gao Yu had already counted the war horses on the deck. There were fifteen war horses in total, one was killed by Minnie bombs, and one was injured. The other thirteen were intact. This number was a little less than what we judged before. However, it was better to have it than not. The number of Tartars on the boat was eighteen, all of which were killed. The Hu Ben Army itself had no casualties.

"Lao Gao, why do you think these war horses smell like alcohol? Do war horses also drink alcohol?" After the battle, Zhang Yin asked curiously. When he jumped over just now, he smelled the strong smell of alcohol in the gas spewing from the war horses. He felt very curious, but he had no time to ask.

"I don't understand." Gao Yu shook his head and said. He also smelled the breathing of these war horses, but he didn't know the specific reason. Logically speaking, war horses shouldn't need to drink, right?

Huang Shijun asked Chen Yongnian: "Where were these war horses transported from?"

Chen Yongnian answered honestly: "It was transported from Shenyang, and it is said to be the mount of the Fourteen Beile and others."

Huang Shijun was very angry and shouted sternly: "What are the fourteen belles? They are the Tartars! They are the slave chief!"

Chen Yongnian hurriedly changed his words and said, "Yes! Yes! It's the Tartars! It's the slave chief! All these war horses are the mounts of the Tartar nobles!"

The people around were immediately excited. The mount of the Tatar nobles? That must be the best war horse! The harvest this time was indeed good, and it was much more valuable than those ten thousand arrowheads!

Huang Shijun continued to ask, but Chen Yongnian dared not hide it, and said everything he knew.

It turned out that the war horses carried by the three Tartar boats were all top-notch and were used by the Taurus nobles. The Tartars were eager to control Dengzhou City, but they gave up the war horses and set out in the form of infantry. It was not until after they controlled Dengzhou City that the Tartars began to transport war horses from the rear. For some reasons, the Tartars used the original transport ships in Dongjiang Town, rather than the war boats of the Dengzhou Navy.

As we all know, it is not easy to transport war horses by sea. War horses are originally afraid of the sea, and it is a difficult problem to get war horses to board the boat smoothly. Moreover, war horses cannot withstand the shaking of the sea, and ordinary small ships cannot transport war horses at all. In the past period, the Tartars tried to transport war horses, but they were not very successful. Therefore, the thousands of Tartars in Dengzhou City did not have war horses.

It was not until a few days ago that the Tartars found an effective way to transport war horses, which was to let the war horses eat some wine lees and enter a semi-drunk state. After they mixed in the forage, they fed the horses, the war horses became a little drunk and stood as if they were asleep. In this state, the war horses were very slow to react to the sea water and the shaking of the ship, and could smoothly lead them onto the boat.

The Tartars used this method and tried to send two or three hundred war horses to Dengzhou City. No accident happened along the way. This shows that the lees of wine did work. So, this time, they decided to send Dorgon, Duoduo and others' mounts over. Unexpectedly, they were intercepted by the Hu Ben Army.

"Dear heroes, I really didn't lie!"

"I was completely forced! It was the Tartars who asked us to do this!"

"Actually, we have always wanted to be a traitor anyway, who would like to follow the Tartars to be traitors?"

After saying that, Chen Yongnian begged for mercy pitifully.

"You said these war horses are all Dorgon and their mounts?"

Huang Shijun ignored his begging for mercy. All he cared about was these war horses. How to deal with traitors was someone else's business. He looked at Chen Yongnian and said coldly.

"Of course yes, of course yes."

Chen Yongnian found that Huang Shijun's face was not good and said hurriedly.

In order to prove his statement, Chen Yongnian also brought out special forage from the cabin. The forage contains a lot of bean skins, buckwheat, wheat straw, dried beans, etc. Obviously, this is definitely not the forage of ordinary war horses. Generally, war horses only have about 30 kilograms of hay every day, plus some beans, which is already very well treated.

The cabin was filled with such fodder. It was estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of kilograms. Chen Yongnian explained that because the war horses of Dorgon, Duoduo and others were all good horses with high requirements for fodder, they had to be transported from Liaodong and could not be found in Dengzhou City. After everyone saw it, they could only sigh that people's treatment is not as good as a good horse these days.

In order to seek credit, Chen Yongnian also gave everyone a guide to Dorgon and Duoduo's mount. Their war horses were naturally the best-quality horses selected from thousands of miles away. They were said to be specially domesticated by the Mongols and descended from Dayuan horses in the Western Regions. The number was not large, and only people with status could use them. The main slave chiefs used such war horses.

The biggest feature of Dayuan horse is that the camel is strong in beating and sprinting ability. The camel bears hundreds of kilograms and can sprint for twenty or thirty miles. For short-distance charges, it is definitely the best war horse. The only disadvantage is that it is not as rough as Mongolian horses, and hardworking as they are. Most people will definitely not be able to afford such war horses.

After seeing this, everyone thought that these dozen war horses were indeed quite powerful. Even those who don’t understand horses could see their unusualness. It can be imagined that these good horses will perform after they arrive on land. I have to admit that there are some good things in the hands of the Tartars.

Zhang Yin said excitedly: "Just say we want to develop! So many good horses! Unfortunately, one of them killed and one injured!"

Huang Shijun said slowly: "Thirteen horses are not bad."

After pondering for a moment, he turned to ask Chen Yongnian: "Are there any war horses transported there behind?"

Chen Yongnian hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "There are also news that...the fourteen Bellers... were Tartars, and they encountered difficulties in Huang County and needed cavalry assistance, so they asked for a large number of war horses to be transported later. In the past two days, more than a thousand war horses should be transported here."

"More than a thousand horses!"

"More than a thousand horses!"

"More than a thousand horses!"

The officers of the Hu Ben Army around you, look at me, and look at you, are so excited.

Hahaha, as long as more than a thousand war horses arrive at the sea, they will belong to the Hu Ben Army. If the Hu Ben Army does not accept such a business that comes to the door, how can it be? These war horses are all first-class and good horses!

Wang Chenglin shook his head and said, "There are clouds in ancient poems, the bright moon is born on the sea, and the world is sharing this time. We are the only one in the sea!"

Huang Shijun said excitedly: "Zhangyin, take this ship back to Weihaiwei first, and then explain the situation here to Commander Yang clearly to see if more ships should be sent to pick up the goods. We are too busy!"

Zhang Yin went with a smile. Soon, Zhang Yin took five Marine soldiers to monitor the ship carrying fifteen war horses and slowly sailed towards Weihaiwei. As for Huang Shijun and others, they continued to cruise near the Imperial City Island, preparing to hunt. The target of hunting was of course the Tartars' war horses.

Not long after, they met Zhou Zhengyu's flagship and reported the situation to him. From Zhou Zhengyu, Huang Shijun learned that it was not only him who had gained great results, but most of the other warships were seized. Among them, there were also a large number of warhors seized. After learning that a large number of warhors were coming, Zhou Zhengyu was so happy that he was blinded by the teeth, so he immediately arranged for all the warships under his command to disperse and hunt. The warhors were born on the sea, and this was the only one!

After receiving the new mission, Huang Shijun and others patrolled the sea in high spirits. Soon, they gained new gains, intercepted more Tartar transport ships, and robbed more war horses. Two days later, Yang Guohua led more war boats and joined the hunting ranks. The Tartar war horses were continuously sent into the tiger army's bags.

Due to the lack of information, in Liaodong, Tartar boats continued to carry war horses south. The Tartars in Dengzhou City could not receive supplies and war horses, but could not understand the situation from Liaodong. Because all the whistle boats and all the ships conveying the message were directly sunk by the Hu Ben Navy. In other words, the information between Liaodong and Dengzhou City was temporarily completely cut off.

Dorgon still knew nothing about the sea. He spent five days to finally figure out Zhang Zhun's troops deployment. At the same time, in five days, Dorgon concentrated a total of twenty-three Niulu from the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner, as well as 14,000 rebels led by Kong Youde. Now, it is time to launch a large-scale attack.

"Zhang Zhun!"

"I want to crush you in Huang County!"
