C210 retaliation (1/2)

Soon, all the Manchu constables had reined in their galloping horses and made them stop.

Without any hesitation, they dismounted from their horses and knelt down beside the horse's belly. They held the water bag and pressed the gash against the horse's nipple. The stimulated horses began to secrete milk in a steady stream.

After the horse's milk had been secreted quite a bit, those Tarantula did not care about the smell of the unboiled milk either, so they drank it all in one go.

Feeling his throat dry from the long journey, his hungry stomach gradually became full. Only then did that fully clean Baylor stand up.

”Where are we now?” Looking around the vast grasslands, Baelor asked the servant beside him.

His follower was originally drinking milk, but after hearing Belo's question, he immediately put down the water bag, wiped his mouth, and said, ”To reply Master Belo, this servant looks around, we should be heading towards the south. ”Presumably, the Cloud County is only a few dozen more kilometers away.”

”Cloud County …” After hearing about the initial sorrow of the Qing army, Belo had a complicated expression on his face.

On one hand, he was very afraid of the hulks who had previously used their weaker forces to hoist them up.

If they continued south, if they were lucky, they might be able to pass through the defenses of the clouds before the army of the Cloud County city found them.

A few months ago, according to He Heshen's information, they already knew that only the clouds to the north of the big man had troops stationed here. As for the other places, they were all empty.

Therefore, as long as they broke through the defenses of the Cloud County and penetrated deep into the interior of the Han Empire, with the mobility and concealment of a few dozen people, they could easily wander around.

They could even grab a village they didn't have time to guard and loot it. This way, they would have enough supplies to last them for a long period of time.

However, although this idea was not bad, the big man's cavalry, whether in terms of speed, fighting strength, or numbers, were far more than theirs.

If they passed through the clouds, they would indeed be able to live a good life.

But if they were intercepted by the big bloke's army...

The only thing waiting for them was death.

On the other hand, there was a group of Huns after them.

If they were caught by these fierce Huns, perhaps they would only be greeted as slaves, or thrown into the field to be cannon fodder, or toiled to death in the sheepfold — just as they had treated the prisoners of war they had captured.

”Master Belo, what should we do? ”If this goes on, we might get caught by the Huns.” Seeing that his master seemed to be in a daze, the retainer next to Belo reminded him.

After all, right now, as the only member of their team, Belo was their leader.

His decision would determine the fate of all of them.

”Who here understands Mongolian?” At this moment, Belo suddenly said.

”Mongolian?” Everyone looked at each other. Not long after, a few of the Tatars came out and said, ”Belle, we understand Mongolian.”

Hearing that so many people understood Mongolian, Belo was overjoyed.

He asked, ”Do any of you understand Chinese?”

Then a few more of them came out, claiming that they knew how to be Chinese.

So Belle nodded and said, ”In that case, let's rob a small tribe of Huns, or a small caravan of Chinese, near here. After we rob the tribe, we will pretend to be Mongolian merchants and enter the city. ”In that case, we can at least have a foothold this winter.”
