In the next few days, a festive atmosphere rarely seen in decades appeared in the DPRK and China.Envoys from various countries also sent heavy gifts one after another to congratulate the Qing emperor on marrying a beautiful woman.

And just when it seemed to everyone that the Qing Dynasty was planning an unprecedented and unprecedented luxury wedding, Guan Xuqing and Zuo Zongtang were secretly dispatching troops to the Nie Shicheng Department in Inner Mongolia.

The Lion Awakens Chapter 74 Mongolia Xiaosheng

The governors from all over the country are trying to prepare some rare and dignified gifts for the emperor's wedding, but in order to show their integrity, the gifts should not be too expensive.When everyone was troubled, in the Mongolian army camp in Mobei.Nie Shicheng and several of his leaders are discussing how to deal a certain degree of blow to the Russian soldiers entering the country.

Winter in Mobei is a very difficult season, with ice and snow everywhere.When the weather is dozens of degrees below zero, you have to wear a bayonet to urinate in the wild, otherwise you will get a popsicle.From time to time, I used a bayonet to smash the popsicles, and the Mauser in my hand couldn't even pull the bolt. One can imagine the bad weather.

The four Biaotong and Nie Shicheng who were summoned temporarily in the barracks were discussing something around a bonfire.

"Junmen, how the hell are you going to fight this battle? What orders did those people in the Ministry of War give? I have been fighting for so many years, but I don't understand it." A bearded general with a full beard Said.

"That's right, Junmen. When we were fighting the French, we asked for the battle several times but failed to approve it. We had to guard against the Russians in this hellish place. The Russians really entered the country and plundered, and the Ministry of War said that we could not fight on two fronts. Wait until the French are defeated first. Now it’s all right, the French have also been driven away, and it’s our turn, and we are not allowed to chase the enemy. What kind of battle is this?? This whole Mobei A plain, unobstructed, the Russian devils will run into our arms by themselves? How can they beat the Russians if they don't let the pursuit??" Another older general also said angrily.

When everyone heard the words, they all said yes, how could they be so open when fighting against France.Fight as you like, Liu Mingchuan destroyed the total production of shells of the Hubei Firearms Bureau for three months in two days in the Hucheng Fortress.But now when he came to him, he tied his hands and feet.Don't let this, don't let that.

Nie Shicheng fiddled with the bonfire with a wooden branch in his hand, repeating the telegram from the Ministry of War over and over again in his mind.

"If the Russians enter the country again without reason, they can be attacked head-on. Remember not to chase the enemy, especially out of the border."

What happened to the court?Even dared to fight against France at sea, and was so afraid of being harassed by a small Russian army.If you don't let the enemy chase you, how can you fight?

Because of the terrain, Mobei is a hotbed of cavalry.There are no mountains, no plateaus.There are only patches of grassland.It was also the Russian cavalry who entered the border to plunder, and when they encountered the Qing troops, they turned around and returned.If the pursuit is not allowed, unless the Russian blindly hits his arms.Otherwise, don't even think about winning the battle.

"Military sect, generals do not accept military orders abroad. Let's not worry about those idiots in the military department, how can they fight any kind of war? We fight as we want." The bearded general said.

"Nonsense, do you think it's still the same. Does the Ministry of War have the authority to directly issue combat missions to me?" Nie Shicheng's mind is still relatively clear.

"Ah? Junmen, you mean the order from the Military Aircraft Department?" the bearded man asked in surprise, his eyes glowing.

"I can't even see it. Nine times out of ten, the little emperor made it himself." Nie Shicheng continued to fiddle with the wooden branch in his hand.

"Junmen, what does the emperor mean? Since we are allowed to fight the Russians, but not let us fight hard, what do you want to do?" The older general said impatiently.

"Damn, I know why I still want you to come here? Let's make a total calculation, don't worry about why the emperor wants us to do this. Now that the order has been issued, we must resolutely carry it out! Luo Ming, tell us what we can do. Hit?" Nie Shicheng pointed the wooden branch in his hand at the young man who hadn't spoken to him.

Everyone's eyes turned to this humble white-faced scholar, he was the first batch of army generals trained by the Qing Dynasty itself.He is the first batch of graduates of Heilongjiang Military Academy.He was assigned to the nearby Nie Shicheng Department as a battalion commander. Due to his outstanding ability and excellent military technology.With a stomach full of ink, he was transferred to Lu Yiwei's department in the original position to supplement the vacancy in the position for studying in Germany.He was promoted to standard by Nie Shicheng.He is also a member of the first phase of the Black Army that the whole world will fear in the future.

Luo Ming calmed down a little, and said calmly, "Back to the military gate, the purpose of the Russian invasion may be because the Russian army north of the border is in Siberia, and the environment and climate are far worse than ours. The place is even worse, and their country’s economic center of gravity is far away in Europe, so they can’t get supplies, so they repeatedly went south to plunder. In addition to wanting to occupy more land from our Qing Dynasty, the more important thing may be to rob supplies.”

Nie Shicheng nodded frequently when he heard this. It turned out that he didn't want to start a war with Qing Dynasty.No wonder the emperor only told us to dare them to go back and not let us chase after them.

"Then how do we fight this battle?" the bearded man chased after him and asked.

"Since the supplies are their goal, why don't we send out a few supply troops? Are we afraid that they won't come to snatch them? As long as they come, we will let them come and go. If this is the case, how can we talk about chasing the enemy?" Luo Ming said unhurriedly.

"Ah? Xiucai, it turns out that you already have a plan. Then why did you pretend to be reserved just now, you don't have to worry about me for so long if you say it earlier. Hahaha, Junmen, I think it is feasible." The bearded man said grinningly. with.

Nie Shicheng threw the wooden branch in his hand into the bonfire, and said firmly: "That's it, Li Hui, go back and prepare two or three companies to prepare some supplies for me to go out for a while. Luo Ming, you take this standard tenth battalion People and horses are ready to respond at any time."

"twitter."

"twitter."

After leaving the tent, everyone left in the four directions of southeast, northwest...

A cavalry force of about 200 people dragged more than [-] carts of grain and grass on the endless grassland and slowly marched towards the camp where the troops stationed in advance.

"Company Commander, this place is not far from the Darkhan Grassland. The troops should be in front. If you don't let the brothers work harder and march through the night, we can arrive early tomorrow morning." A soldier named Wang Yue said.

The company commander looked at the sky, then looked at the soldiers behind and said: "The team is tired, and it's getting late. Old Maozi often haunts here, so let's rest where we are. Send out guard posts around the team, and the rest Rest in place."

"Yes."

The group of people who transported the grain and grass had already been so tired that they couldn't feel their buttocks bouncing on the horse's back.After hearing the order to rest in place, they immediately formed a circle and lit a fire as usual.It may be the happiest thing to roast a fire for a while in this icy and snowy place. Unexpectedly, the company commander who escorted the food and grass kicked the fire out as soon as the fire was lit, turned around and left without saying anything.

The captain of the transport team who brought the food was Zhuo Yan, a man from Manchuria, a man from Zhengbaiqi.It is said that the Zhengbai Banner belongs to the Shangsan Banner, and with this status, it is possible to live a pleasant life by raising flowers and birds in the capital.After all, most bannermen do this, but he doesn't. He would rather be the captain of the transportation team.He also didn't want to stay at home alone, this guy is also a donkey, seeing the officer who escorted the food and grass kicked the fire away, he cursed: "You son of a bitch, I am here to deliver the army food for you, not to be angry. "

The old soldier sitting next to him pulled Zhuo Yan and said: "You can't light a fire here, the old Maozi's cavalry often hang around here, and it's easy to attract them if you light a fire.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yan turned his head and took a look, and saw that the soldiers didn't light the fire, but ate dry food silently. Immediately, Zhuo Yan felt ashamed and understood the company commander's actions without any resentment.

In fact, in Zhuo Yan's mind, the Manchus were still the masters of the previous tiger and wolf team.It's just that he hasn't practiced using firearms before, and the words "Jurchens are less than ten thousand, but ten thousand are invincible" have always been kept in his heart.My ancestors were so brave and invincible, how come my generation has to rely on the Han people to win the battle.

The Lion Awakens Chapter 75 Mongolian Victory ([-])

Just when Zhuo Yan was in a daze, gunshots rang out from the east.Everyone was shocked and looked up to the east, and then gunshots rang out from the north, west, and south.

Under normal circumstances, the sent out cavalry guard posts should come back and report if they find the enemy.The sound of gunfire means that the enemy is very close, and it is too late to report before using the sound of gunfire as an emergency signal.But there were gunshots all around, and it was obvious that he was surrounded, and the company commander who was escorting the grain and grass shouted: "Assemble." More than 200 soldiers immediately moved the grain from the carriage, and set off on the nearest hill. Build a position.

In fact, the entire Mobei is a plain, and the so-called hills are just small hills about five or six meters higher than the flat ground.They were almost the ones who built their positions, and the Russians could already be seen on the east side where the gunfire first sounded. They were the most fierce Cossack cavalry. At a glance, there were crowds of people, at least thousands of them.

Zhuo Yan came to the company commander and said: "It seems that Lao Maozi has thousands of people. We don't have heavy weapons, so we can't hold it. We should retreat quickly. Take Lao Maozi in the other three directions. Not yet in place, protruding from the joint they encircle."

The company commander frowned, staring at the direction the Russians were coming from. They were moving very fast, and within a short while they had turned from a patch of black dots into a group of black shadows.The Russians were very careful. The horseshoes were covered with thick cotton cloth, and they made a muffled sound when they stepped on the ground.Looking back, he sneered and said, "We broke through, what should they do?" The company commander pointed to the supplies unloaded by the carriage.

"Ah, how can we manage this now? The old Maozi robbed the people who ran out of supplies? The Russians have gone deep here, and someone must stand out to report to Nie Junmen." Zhuo Yan said hurriedly.

"Hmph, that's a nice word. But isn't the gunshot here the best way to report to Nie Junmen? You are a student of Shang Sanqi. If you think it's dangerous, I'll give you a horse and you can run away first. "The company commander stared at the Russian cavalry rushing towards him, and said coldly.

"You..." Zhuo Yan was so excited that he couldn't speak, and it was a good intention but was replaced by a burst of cynicism.

"Tell the brothers, get ready to fight. Hit the horse when you are far away, and hit people when you are close." The company commander turned and said to the signal soldier beside him.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Zhuo Yan said urgently: "Company Commander, this is not the time to be impulsive. The old Maozi is besieging from all sides, and there are no less than a thousand people in front of him. He just wants to eat us up. Such a tenacious defense will only increase casualties out of thin air. You Do you think that two hundred of us can defend this high ground?"

The company commander laughed loudly when he heard this, and said, "I'm not tired from singing, but my back hurts from watching the show? I repeat, if you're afraid, I'll give you a horse and you can go first."

"Bah, when have I ever been afraid, a man of Manchu blood? Give me a gun, and I'll fight with you." Zhuo Yan was filled with righteous indignation, but unfortunately, as a grain transporter, he didn't even have a gun.

"Guns? One company of Lao Tzu has one head and one gun. The whole company plus Lao Tzu has a total of 180 heads, so there are only 180 guns. The four sentries who went out in front have not returned yet, and there are only 176 guns left. Want a gun? Find them." The company commander pointed to the Russians rushing up.

When did Zhuo Yan get so angry, "Do you want us more than 20 brothers to watch?"

There were only more than 20 people in the food transportation team, and they were all government servants drawn from the local government office in the place where the food was shipped, and none of them were equipped with guns.It's just an official knife for each person, because the grain and grass in Mobei are all shipped out of the three northeastern provinces outside the pass.It was the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, and a large number of Manchus lived there.And the more than 20 people who transported the grain and grass this time were all full.

"boom……"

A fast horse that was running at high speed fell to the ground in response, and even the many tall horses running behind had to stop.Those who couldn't stop would trample the cavalryman who fell to the ground to death.

"Bang, bang, bang" there was a rush of gunshots, and Zhuo Yan, who was clamoring for a gun just now, was frightened by the close-range gunshots.The more than 20 people transporting food also squatted on the ground covering their ears, trembling all over.I don't know whether it was frightened by the fierce gunshots or frozen by the weather in Mobei.

All of this was seen by the company commander who escorted the food and grass, and he was amused in his heart, he was right.Apart from bullying the common people, this group of young soldiers will be cowardly when they really want to fight.

The Russian cavalry was a bit confused by the sudden attack, but they were Cossack cavalry after all, and the Russian cavalry was known for its ferocity and brutality.Their combat experience is all obtained from blood.
