The verbal agreement will do. Hong Chengchou doesn't expect any written agreement. Now the two parties are unable to understand the language, and he does not know whether the Buryats have written it. He returns side by side with the leader.
Coming to the leader's wooden house, Hong Chengchou asked the soldiers to present six women for the leader to identify.
When the leader saw the six women, there was no excitement and anger in his eyes. He frowned slightly, and then pointed his finger to the far west.
Hong Chengchou understood that these women were not from this tribe at all, and their homes should still be in the west.
He asked the soldiers to escort eighteen red-haired prisoners of war. The leader was furious. He recruited a tribe and said something that only they could understand.
As soon as the group left, they heard a messy noise outside, the sound of gongs, drums, pots and pans. It seemed that there was everything, I don't know what musical instrument it was.
In a short while, a large number of tribes gathered in front of the wooden house, including men, women and children. Hong Chengchou's visual observation showed that the tribes may reach two thousand, which is more than the number of people seen last time.
Eighteen red hairs were escorted to the open space in front of the wooden house, surrounded by angry crowds, noises, like a volcano about to erupt.
Hongmaomen knows it is not good, how can they bear that there are no friends of them here, and they are all tied up by the Ming army, and they cannot escape even if they want to.
Hong Chengchou didn’t know what people would think when they knew they were about to be killed by the enemy. He stayed with the Ming army soldiers on the periphery and allowed the tribe to deal with the red hairs. As long as the red hairs did not escape, they would not. There will be no action.
A heart-piercing scream came from the cracks of the crowd, and the screams became weaker and weaker. It took about a cup of tea before the sound stopped completely.
Looking at the countless blood holes in Hongmao's body, Hong Chengchou couldn't be happy either. I wonder if these Buryats would treat the Ming army so cruelly in the future.
The tribe was already cleaning up the red-haired corpse. According to their habit, it was originally for sparks, but today it was raining lightly and it was impossible to light a fire outside, as long as they dig a pit and bury it.
Hong Chengchou asked the soldiers for forty Huozhezi and handed them to the leader himself. The leader was overjoyed and hurriedly hid in the wooden house. He turned around and asked Hong Chengchou for distilled wine.
Hong Chengchou spread his hand and pointed to the far east, "I will definitely give it in the future."
The leader didn't understand, so he shook his head, and suddenly saw the altar on the square table, not forbidden to rub his hands on the altar.
Hong Chengchou was sitting at the table. There were four people at the table today. Apart from Hong Chengchou and the leader, there were two other women. One was Li Qianqian and the other seemed to be the woman who hugged Li Qianqian last time.
Hong Chengchou sat with the leader to pour wine, while Li Qianqian sat with the woman.
When the square table was filled with dishes and bowls of chopsticks, Hong Chengchou patted the mud on the mouth of the altar. There was a strange fragrance in the house, and even the two women were excitedly chasing the source of the fragrance.
The leader couldn't wait, he extended his wine cup to Hong Chengchou, who first filled him, and then poured himself a half.
The leader was not welcome, taking a cup of distilled wine, swallowing it in three mouthfuls, then blinking, waiting to pour it.
"Qianqian, do you want something?" Hong Chengchou raised the jar and gestured to Li Qianqian. Li Qianqian asked for a small cup, and the woman next to her was also a small cup.
The two women brought the wine cup to their noses and sniffed. They still couldn't bear the temptation of the fragrance, and then stretched out their tongues and licked them, frowning and frowning.
Hong Chengchou smiled secretly. At this moment, all language is superfluous, and there is no difficulty in communication.
The two women put the distilled wine in the wine cup into the leader's wine cup and replaced them with their sake.
When Hong Chengchou was observing the two women, the leader only drank alcohol. He had already drunk half a jar of distilled spirits.
Hong Chengchou could only look at the three of them instead of saying a few words. He couldn't understand Buryat, so he could only smile on one side, but he was not lonely either. When Li Qianqian talked to the woman next to her, there was a wave from time to time. Yu Guang seemed to be talking about Hong Chengchou.
Until the evening, the four of them finished their lunch drunkly. The woman next to Li Qianqian looked up at the sky. Seeing that it was dark early in the rain, Li Qianqian asked Li Qianqian to go back with Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou helped Li Qianqian on his horse, stepped on himself, and returned to Daying in the rain.
After the weather cleared, Hong Chengchou officially began to build the city. In order to speed up the progress, the base of the wall was made of bluestone dug from nearby. After preparing the yard to one person's height, the top layer was replaced with soil. The height of the entire city wall was designed in one battle and two.
While waiting for the soil to dry, the soldiers will build thatched huts with earth walls in the city. The earth walls must be very thick. The huts are very low. Such a house reduces the space inside, but the insulation effect is good.
The leader had also been to the site where the Ming army built the city, but Hong Chengchou never showed up after he sent him 20 altars of distilled wine during the construction of the city wall and thatched hut.
In mid-July, another group of red hairs crossed the Segereng River and entered the area between the Uda River and the Shiloc River, which is the gathering place of the Buryat tribes. Maybe they were really looking for companions, maybe It is preparing to carry out another round of plunder against the local people.
In front of the leader's wooden hut, the alarm bell rang again. The members did not know what had happened. They put down all their work and gathered in the empty square in front of the hut.
The leader personally went into battle. He ignited hundreds of people. These were almost all the males of the tribe. They were holding wooden clubs and forks, and they went to meet Hong Mao. The battle was not like retreating, but like fishing.
The red hairs who crossed the Segereng River were no more than 20 people, but they had horses and guns, and the indigenous tribes couldn't resist them along the way. I don't know how many people they have killed.
The two amateur armies met less than three miles from the leader's wooden house. The red-haired men jumped off their horses and formed two rows in front of the horses, waiting for the Buryats to come and die.
The Buryats launched the first offensive. There were more than a hundred people. Their weapons were wooden sticks and forks for fishing. They didn’t even have bows and arrows, but they had the responsibility, courage and determination to protect their families and the public. It's all full.
The red hairs aimed at a good distance and brought the Buryats into range. With a random shot, they shot down dozens of people. When the crowds swarmed up, they had finished loading their ammunition.
It was another random shot.
The number of red hairs was too small. After the Buryats had paid heavy casualties, they gradually approached them. Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the red hairs stepped on their horses and flew away.
But Hong Mao didn't go too far, but they fled east for two miles, and they stopped the horse and turned off from the horse's back.
Before the masses chased them, they had loaded the bullets.
When the tribes arrived out of breath, they were greeted by musket bullets. After repeated sawing, Hong Mao had no loss of personnel, and the tribe who caught up with them had already suffered most of the casualties, and some of the remaining tribes had already suffered. Tired on the grass, there are still less than 30 people who are still capable of fighting.
Seeing that there were too few people in front of him, the leader raised his wooden fork and was about to go up to face Hongmao himself. A powerful hand grabbed his left hand.
He looked back and saw that Hong Chengchou was gesturing to him. Although there was no verbal communication, he could still see that Hong Chengchou asked him to suspend his actions.
"Are they going to go up? They caught the red hair last time, maybe only they can deal with it."
Seeing that the leader had stopped his actions, Hong Chengchou issued a series of military orders. The army in front of him did not move, but the army on the right ran out first, cutting off Hong Mao's eastward escape route.
The Ming army was full of cavalry, and the action was quite sudden. When Hong Mao turned his attention from the Buryats to the Ming army, they had no way of retreating.
The East was blocked by the Ming army, the Segeleng River and the Wuda River were in the west and north, and Hong Chengchou had already squeezed from the south.
The red hairs may be aware of the danger. They left the Buryats, turned on their horses, adjusted their heads, and wanted to escape eastward.
To the east is indeed the weakest place of the Ming army, with only one battalion of soldiers, more than 300 people, and to the south are two battalions of the Ming army and hundreds of Buryat soldiers.
At the same time that the red hairs got on their horses, most of the Ming army in the east dismounted. Only less than 30% of the soldiers were still sitting on the horses. They were the reserve of the Ming army, ready to chase the fugitive red hairs.
The Ming army in the south, under the personal command of Hong Chengchou, was rushing towards Hongmao.
"boom."
"boom."
"boom."
…
The infantrymen of the Ming Army in the east fired first, and they were automatically divided into three rows. The soldiers in the front, dozens of bullets, flew toward the red-haired cavalry.
"Papa... Click..."
The centaur fell and the bone broke.
The impact rhythm of the red-haired cavalry was suddenly disrupted. The horses running at high speed in the back could not stop for a while, and some were tripped by the wounded horses in front. The Ming army fired more than half of their casualties in one salvo.
The Ming army's shooting did not stop. When the red hair rushed over, the second row of gunmen was already waiting for them.
After this shot, the remaining red hair was already in single digits, which could be counted with one hand.
Their response was quick, and they quickly turned their horses' heads and drove northward.
The cavalry of the Ming army from the east and the south joined forces to encircle the north. With the help of the Uda River in front, they prepared to catch turtles in an urn.
The infantry to the south took the opportunity to deal with all the red-haired wounded soldiers.
Before the Buryats arrived, they had searched Hong Mao's body. The musket was a strategic material. Zhu Youjian had long explained that the new army of Ming Dynasty must not be left to others, even friends.
On Hongmao’s body and horseback, the Ming army only found some animal fur and dry food. The Ming army did not lack food. They directly distributed the red hair dry food to Buryat strong men, and the fur was their own. Stay, and when you are ready to return to the capital, you will sell it at a good price.
The remaining red hair has no way on all sides, not a river or a Ming army. They didn't even have time to discuss, the Ming army had already pressed in from the southeast.
