"The three of you each led 5 horses to launch a surprise attack on the Tartars from the east, west, and north. The governor personally led 5 horses to attack from the south, trying to wipe out the Horqin tribe in one go."
"Yes"
After the three received the order, they immediately went to prepare.
"Captain, send us guns, we want revenge, and we want to fight the Tartars with you."
As soon as the three generals left, Gou'er and the children suddenly put down their bowls and chopsticks, got up and surrounded Yue Fei and asked to join the battle. They wanted to avenge their families.
Looking at the dozen or so skinny children in front of him, Yue Fei felt a layer of mist suddenly cover his eyes.
If the Han people were as strong as these children, how would the dog tartars and Dongyao wild boars dare to invade Daming half a step.
"Come here, prepare cotton-padded clothes, trousers and cotton hats for the children, and let them have a good rest."
"Captain, please take us along, we don't want to rest, we want to fight the Tartars."
Gou Wa suddenly knelt down in front of Yue Fei, and the other children immediately followed and knelt down in front of Yue Fei, insisting on beating the Tartars. "
How could Yue Fei let them go to the battlefield and give them guns, they don't know how to use them at all, and going up would be tantamount to death, Yue Fei could only patiently persuade them:
"Children, you are a good person. I can understand how you feel, but the governor can't harm you. You don't know how to use guns?"
"No, but we can learn. Soon, we can also help you lead horses and herd cattle and sheep. A large herd of cattle can make them obedient. At that time, we will drive back all Horqin's cattle, sheep and horses."
When Yue Fei heard that they could drive cattle and make them obedient, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he had an idea in an instant.
"Dog, if the governor gives you two thousand cows, can you drive them into the Horqin camp?"
When Gou'er heard Yue Fei's words, he felt like he was playing with a tartar, so he hurriedly patted himself on the chest to promise:
"Yes, there is no problem at all, we all grew up driving cattle, sheep and horses..." Mobile phone ../
"Yes, we all grew up driving cattle and sheep. The governor took us, and we promised to drive all the cattle, sheep and horses of the Tartars."
The other children all echoed the dog.
Yue Fei was secretly happy, and immediately asked the Chinese army:
"Come here, check and see how many scalpers are still in our camp."
"Yes"
The Chinese army agreed and immediately turned around and left.
The camp of the Ming army still has no shortage of cattle and sheep. The last time a Tartar tribe was wiped out, none of the cattle, sheep and horses captured had been sent back to the pass.
Soon, the Chinese army came back with a ledger.
"Report to the governor, we still have [-] cattle, [-] horses and [-] sheep in our camp."
Yue Fei nodded in satisfaction, then asked the dog:
"Children, can you control two thousand cattle?"
dog:
"Yes, the governor doesn't know. Herds of cattle, sheep and horses all have a leader. As long as the cow is under control, there is basically no problem."
"Pa... Okay, today the governor will let you go to the battlefield, and also entrust you with a difficult task."
Yue Fei slapped the handsome platform fiercely, startling the children, and the dog hurriedly asked:
"Captain, no matter what the task is, we will resolutely complete it."
Yue Fei burst into laughter suddenly:
"Haha, the governor wants to use the fire bull trick, and you still need your cooperation."
The children looked at Yue Fei curiously and asked:
"Captain, we don't understand what kind of bullshit tricks are there?"
Yue Fei patted the dog's head:
"Children, this is very simple. We will tie sharp knives to the horns of all the oxen, and tie gunpowder to the tails of the oxen. When we arrive at the Tartar camp, we will ignite the gunpowder on the tails, and then you will drive the cattle into the Tartar camp. It will be perfect." Task, are you sure you can do it well?"
Surprise appeared in the eyes of Gou'er and the other children, and they immediately stood up straight:
"Wow, this is fun, we are sure."
"Yes, absolutely sure, this is very simple, we are determined to complete the task..."
Yue Fei was a little bit satisfied:
"Okay, the governor is sending [-] cavalry to assist you, we need to burn Horqin first, come here, prepare [-] cows..."
Chapter 239 Burning the Horqin Department
Yue Fei gave an order.
Three thousand cavalry followed a dozen children, and immediately began to tie bayonets to the horns.
Although the dogs are only in their teens, they have been grazing for eight or nine years.
I have been dealing with cattle, sheep and horses since I was about five or six years old, and I have a good understanding of their habits.
These cattle are domesticated, as long as they are not stimulated, they are not wild.
A handful of grass can make them obedient, and four thousand bayonets were quickly tied to the horns by the soldiers.
After the bayonet is done, the next step is to tie the cloth strips with gunpowder and the cloth strips of bezoar and saltpetre on the oxtail bundle.
This project is a bit big, so there should not be too much gunpowder, if there is too much gunpowder, it will burn too fast, the fire may have been extinguished before the cattle reach the Tartar camp
A fire rope must be used as the lead wire. If the fire rope is not used, the scalper will run wildly when frightened.
As long as a scalper runs away in fright, other scalpers will definitely run away immediately without waiting for you to light the fire.
With so many scalpers, it is almost impossible to ignite them at the same time. Only by delaying a few breathing times with matchlocks can the Ming army ignite them all as much as possible.
Although the project was a bit large, there were many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and one person could handle one oxtail alone, and it didn't take too long to finish all of them.
"Captain, it's all done, you look at the shining horns, it looks a little scary."
After finishing it, the dog ran to Yue Fei's big tent to hand over the order, and Yue Fei laughed and pulled the dog out of the Chinese army's big tent.
"hiss……"
