Chapter 403: Welcome Home!
"Ahh
Buyan Chechen Khan woke up from a terrible nightmare, dreaming that he, his relatives, and his people were shot and killed by a vicious enemy.
Why is this so, for most of the month he led more than 200,000 Tatar cavalry to break through the border pass, but was repelled by the enemy with that unheard-of terrible firearms, suffered heavy casualties, and had to withdraw his troops.
Now an enemy cavalry of only a few thousand people entered the steppe, he led more than 10,000 Tatar cavalry to encircle and suppress, but he did not expect to encounter that terrible weapon again, and the nine thousand Tatar warriors all fell on the battlefield a few hundred meters away from the enemy.
Why did such a vicious enemy appear, Buyan Chechen Khan never wanted to encounter this kind of enemy again, too many Tatar warriors would die every time, watching one Tatar warrior after another fall on the battlefield, he was the Khan of the Tatars, his heart ached to death.
However, Buyan Chechen Khan was powerless to stop all this from happening, so many Tatar warriors died in battle, and more importantly, Buyan Chechen Khan had a very bad feeling in his mind, such a powerful enemy, the steppe may no longer be safe.
Buyan Chechen Khan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was afraid.
With the end of a major battle, the return of the Lancer Division was very smooth, and there was no further encounter with any enemy to stop it, and occasionally Tatar cavalry squads appeared, who came to monitor the Lancer Division.
The steppe occupied by the Tatars was so vast that it was not easy to gather an army of more than 10,000 people to attack the Lancer Division in a short period of time, and it was basically impossible to gather more Tatar cavalry before the Lancer Division returned to the Bohai Institute.
However, the Lancer Division has not let its guard down, fearing an accident.
On the twelfth day of the Lancer Division's entry into the steppe, it was finally going to return to the Bohai Institute.
The Lancer Division was still some distance away from the Bohai Institute, and some lancers and scouts of the 83rd Division took the lead in sending the news of the imminent return of the Lancer Division to the Bohai Institute.
Wang Shengrong, Zhang Xinquan and others climbed the city wall, and the soldiers of the 83rd Division also gathered up and down the city wall, waiting for the return of the lancers.
Soon, Wang Shengrong saw some black spots in the distance through the telescope, the black spots were getting bigger and bigger, in the front was a team of lancers who opened the road, behind them were a large group of cattle, horses and sheep, and among the cattle and horses and sheep were three thousand Tatars captured by the lancers, these Tatars were all riding on war horses, but the war horses they rode were connected together with ropes, and the other lancers were scattered around.
"It's finally back."
Looking at the direction of the Bohai Sea, Tian Zhe sighed, this is the first time he led the lancer division to conquer the prairie, only three days deep into the prairie, only experienced a major battle and a few small-scale battles, but the return journey took more than eight days.
The excitement of winning battles and capturing a large number of cattle, horses and sheep also made the lancers very tired from living on the steppes for more than ten days and constantly being on the lookout for Tatar attacks.
As long as they return to the Bohai Institute, the lancers can have a good rest, and the more than 40,000 sheep captured can also make the lancers eat meat, and maybe even get a chance to drink.
There is a ban on alcohol within the KPA, and in the vast majority of cases, neither soldiers nor officers are allowed to drink alcohol, and even if they can drink in a few cases, they are not allowed to drink too much, let alone get drunk.
"This time we went deep into the steppes to fight, killed tens of thousands of Tatars, and captured so many cattle, horses and sheep, we should be able to drink a bar."
Similar thoughts popped into the minds of many lancers.
Finally, the Bohai Sea is close at hand.
"Welcome home!" Several people shouted.
"Welcome home!" Tens of thousands of people shouted together.
Listening to the shouts of the soldiers of the 83rd Division and the soldiers of the border army battalion, many lancers burst into tears, and they finally went home.
Outside the city gate, Tian Zhe dismounted and walked in front of Wang Shengrong.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, you guys go into the pass and rest, get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, we'll have a celebration banquet for the Lancer Division." Wang Shengrong said with a smile.
"Yes!"
The Bohai Institute was so large that there were not enough houses for the lancers to live in, and the soldiers of the 83rd Division temporarily gave up their houses to the lancers to rest.
The lancers did not immediately go to rest when they entered the Bohai Station, they did not forget their other "companions", they fed the war horses that had been accompanying them, and the hot water prepared by the 83rd Division washed their bodies a little before they went into the house to sleep.
The lancers went to sleep, but the 83rd Division and the border barracks were busy, the 3,000 Tatars captured by the Lancer Division needed to be settled, the more than 50,000 cattle, horses and sheep captured by the Lancer Division also needed to be settled, and a celebration feast was prepared for the Lancers.
If the Lancer Division suddenly returned with prisoners and booty, it would also make the 83rd Division and the border army camp scramble, and the matter of 3,000 prisoners and more than 50,000 cattle, horses, and sheep had already been sent to the Bohai Institute five days ago, and the Bohai Institute had mobilized all the manpower to prepare in the past five days.
Now that there are enough houses in the Bohai Institute to hold 3,000 prisoners, the room where the prisoners are held is different from the room where the lancers sleep, and it is not much of a problem to craze as many prisoners as possible into one room.
There is no need to prepare bedding or anything for the prisoners, it would be good if the prisoners were not beaten and scolded at will, they had food and a place to live, and the People's Army was good enough for the prisoners.
More than 50,000 cattle, horses and sheep were temporarily put in captivity outside the Bohai Institute, and after the previous war, if there was a spear division to fight in the steppe, I am afraid that the Tatars would not dare to invade the Bohai Institute again, and there would not be many problems in raising cattle, horses and sheep outside.
Next, a small number of sheep will be selected and slaughtered for the lancers to celebrate their achievements, and the soldiers of the 83rd Division and the border barracks can also enjoy the feeling of eating meat.
Wang Shengrong also asked people to bring a batch of liquor to the Bohai Institute, which were obtained by the wealthy gentry and merchants, and the amount transported to the Bohai Institute was not much, so that the soldiers could drink a few sips to satisfy their hunger, and the officers could drink a little more.
The lancers slept until it was almost dark, awakened by the smell of roasted meat outside.
There was not enough space in the Bohai Institute for the lancers to hold a celebration banquet, the celebration banquet was carried out directly outside the Bohai Institute (outside the Guan), one by one bonfires had already been raised, the whole sheep strung up were put on the flames for barbecue, and the lancers who walked out of the city gate, as well as the soldiers of the 83rd Division and the border barracks, gathered around the bonfires in accordance with the squad platoon.
The dishes and chopsticks are placed, a jar of wine is served, and the celebration banquet is about to begin!
However, there was also a regiment of soldiers who did not attend the celebration banquet, and they were responsible for guarding the inside and outside of the Bohai Station, as well as guarding in the direction of the steppe.
