Chapter 3: Formidable Enemy
In this situation, probably anyone would feel confused for a while.
The eight warriors on the ground also gradually woke up, with a look of confusion on their faces as they opened their eyes. Then they all turned to look at the two sergeants.
But at this moment, both Qin Sword and Hadan Batel were unable to give their comrades an explanation or clarification.
The watch on the wrist shows the time as half past eleven in the morning, which means that they have been chasing for a full seven and a half hours since four in the morning.
No matter when, the commander remains calm, and the soldiers do not panic. Qin Sword temporarily sets aside their doubts and orders to address the most urgent issue: filling their stomachs.
A few hundred meters away, there is a group of animals with yellow-brown fur, similar to goats, grazing with their heads down. Hadan Batel recognized them as a group of Golden Goats. At this moment, he didn't care whether they were protected animals or not. He took a crouching position and shot one. A Golden Goat fell to the ground, and the others, seemingly never encountering such a distant threat, scattered and ran as if flying towards the horizon.
Two soldiers ran over and dragged the prey back. This Golden Goat was about 1.2 meters long, with a shoulder height of about 60 centimeters, weighing around fifty to sixty pounds.
Its pointed horns bend inward, its belly and buttocks are white, and its tail is very dark, in stark contrast to the white buttocks. The prey seemed to have stirred the herder's instincts in Hadan Batel, and he swiftly drew a military dagger from his waist, saying, "Let me do it!"
As he skillfully bled and skinned the animal, he ordered a few warriors, "You go pick up cow dung, we need it dry for making a fire later!"
Originally, these soldiers were still grumbling about what the deputy platoon leader relied on to start a fire. Now they all understand and scatter around, starting to collect dry cow dung in the grass.
When Hadan Batel finishes processing the Golden Goat, the soldiers also collect a large pile of dry cow dung. For these field troops, let alone carrying fire with them, even if they don't have it, they have various ways to start a fire.
The fact is that dried cow dung, when burned, not only does not smell bad, but also has a grassy fragrance. Hadan Batel is here to educate everyone: cows eat grass, so most of the excrement containing cow dung is composed of coarse fiber, crude protein, and some undigested grass and other substances. Therefore, when burned, you can smell a grassy scent.
Soon, smoke rose, and everyone's skewers were grilling meat over the fire.
The meat is not cooked yet, and suddenly there is a rumbling sound of thunder. Everyone looks up at the sky, the sun is shining brightly, and the white clouds are floating... In the midst of the confusion, Hadan Batel quickly puts the gun back into his arms and loads the magazine: "It's the horse team, level one alert!"
After all, they are a disciplined force that has experienced real combat. Ten people quickly rely on each other to form a defensive formation.
I still haven't seen the shadow of a horse, nor have I seen the billowing dust from the passing of a horse team in the movie. All we can hear is the increasingly loud rumbling sound, and feel the ground shaking beneath our feet...
Finally, a group of several dozen people on horseback leaps out from a distant grassy knoll. Through the telescope, these people are only wearing helmets, with no armor or leather armor on their bodies, but each of them is holding a bow and arrow, a spear, or a sabre.
- If it weren't for filming, then, Qin Sword they would have encountered a formidable enemy in this unknown space!
Through the telescope, based on the measured values of the direction angle, this horse team is still a kilometer away, but Hadan Batel knows that on the vast grassland, these knights can charge up to him within a few breaths. Swinging the sabre, even a bull can be split into two halves in an instant.
He nervously briefed Qin Sword on the situation and ordered the soldiers to quickly check their ammunition and firearms. Perhaps very soon, they would be facing a showdown involving both firearms and cold weapons.
"Could it be that a time-space shift has really occurred, like in the South Korean movie 'The Heaven Army' or the island nation movie 'Warring States'?"
Opposite the horse team, a few people were also meeting and talking, but unfortunately, the distance was too far to hear anything.
After about half an hour, the team opposite finally moved. A lone rider emerged from the horse team, and he removed the sabre hanging from his waist, gestured towards the team on this side, and then threw the sabre and scabbard onto the grass. He then removed the slung bow and quiver from his back and the one at his waist, gestured towards this side, and also threw them onto the grass. Then, he slowly urged his horse towards this side.
Hadan Batel whispered, "This is the representative sent by the other party."
He also raised the assault rifle in his hand to signal to the other party, then placed it on the ground. He then raised the handgun he was carrying to signal again, and also placed it on the ground.
Regarding Qin Sword: "Lieutenant, I'll go talk to him, you guys stay alert!" After speaking, he walked forward.
In the middle of the two groups, both sides stopped.
The knight on the other side dismounted, raised both hands high above his head, then placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed forward to salute. Hadan Batel returned the salute, but the conversation between the two parties could not be heard by anyone else.
As time passed by, the two sides once again bowed to each other. The knight turned and shouted in Mongolian to the other side, and then some knights in the opposing team became active. Some of them jumped from their own horses to the horses of other knights, changing from single riders to pairs, and ten horses were sent over by a single knight.
Hadan Batel also turned this way and shouted, "Lieutenant, let everyone come over here!"
Qin Sword believed that his deputy platoon leader would not easily put his comrades in danger, and ordered everyone to gather their guns, line up, and move forward.
Walk to the middle position, Hadan Batel introduced the Qin Sword to the other party in Mongolian, and the other party bowed in respect. Qin Sword hurriedly returned the gesture.
Mongolia may be short, but Qin Sword they have no experience in riding horses. Hadan Batel urgently instructed: "Listen to my command, grab the mane with your left hand, support the saddle with your right hand, step on the left stirrup with the ball of your left foot, and swing your leg over! Squeeze the horse's belly as you move, keep your upper body straight, and don't be afraid! Tap the horse's belly lightly with your lower leg as we move forward, and let your body naturally follow the horse's movements..."
Under the guidance of Hadan Batel, Qin Sword took the lead in mounting the horse.
These are all tamed Warhorses, and the other warriors also mounted their horses one after another, without any accidents or embarrassing incidents.
Hadan Batel urged the representative of the other party to move forward, and Qin Sword led everyone to follow suit. Warhorse trotted on the grassland, while Hadan Batel occasionally turned back to instruct: "Keep your legs tight, don't press your buttocks tightly against the saddle; if you want to stop, pull the reins tight; if you want to turn, pull the left rein tight to go left, and the right rein tight to go right..."
After joining the main force in front, the Han man who had been riding alongside Hadan Batel gestured to Hadan Batel and Qin Sword, then approached the sturdy man who looked like the leader and communicated with him in a rapid and incomprehensible manner. The sturdy man bowed to the crowd, turned his horse's head, and led the team to gallop away like the wind.
Hadan Batel signaled to everyone, "Keep up!"
The sound of hooves clattered, and those who had never ridden a horse felt only the rushing wind in their ears, with the scenery on both sides quickly moving backward.
The Warhorse beneath them may be small, but its endurance is excellent. It had been galloping for about half an hour when a large expanse of yurts appeared ahead. The horse team in front stopped, and the others followed suit, pulling on the reins to bring their horses to a halt before dismounting.
However, in just this half hour, the difference became apparent. Others leaped off their horses, while the warriors almost rolled off. Even Qin Sword had to endure the pain from the saddle rubbing against his backside as he struggled to stand.
Hadan Batel lightly introduced Qin Sword, and the man he was talking to is called Bourgeoisie. This is their Mongolian Kerait tribe camp. They discovered someone entering their territory from the smoke of the barbecue, so they sent someone to investigate.
He gestured to a large yurt and a still smoldering pile of fire outside, as well as a specially made bow and arrow hanging outside the door, and said, "The wife of their leader Ye Suge has given birth to a boy. When the child came out of his mother's belly, he was tightly holding a blood clot in his right hand, the size of a hip joint (Note: a hunting tool and game equipment used by ancient northern minority ethnic groups in China), and it was glowing red inside.
Just now, in the battle with their archenemies, the Tatar people, Ye Suge captured one of their leaders, whose name is Temujin Keresig. Now, Ye Suge is happy to have a son, so he named his son Genghis Khan.
After Hadan Batel and Qin Sword finished speaking, they immediately realized something and stood there stunned as if struck by lightning.
