Chapter 82 The Great Caucasus Mountains on the Southern Front Volgograd on the Northern Front

The sentry commander of this outpost hid the letters on his body, and the cavalry of the kiln gang were afraid that they would be hungry on the road, so they brought them a lot of food, such as canned beef, instant noodles, etc. These things, the Ottoman soldiers have heard that they are very delicious, but such things are too expensive, not that they can afford to eat, they never dreamed that after being a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty army, they would immediately give each person a packet. Many people thought that if they knew this, they might as well surrender as soon as possible.

Seeing that the sentry commander took his more than 30 soldiers to ride away with a wave of his hand, the cavalry company commander immediately reported to Li Kui by radio. Li Kui didn't dare to delay, and immediately made a report to Li Wei.

Sending a message to the Ottoman Sultan is a very important thing, and the cavalry company commander who did this is actually someone personally sent by Li Jing, which is for the sake of safety.

Li Kui received the news that the "messenger" had been on the road, and ordered Li Feng to gallop along the west bank of the Volga River in the direction of Volgograd with his men and horses. There were some miscellaneous Ottoman armies in this direction to act as a guard, and it was also the place where the scourge of the Mongols was the most serious. When they reached Volgograd, they were to advance along the Don River in the direction of the Black Sea, encircling and destroying all the Ottoman troops west of the Don River.

The 2nd Cavalry Army, which crossed the Volga and advanced rapidly to the southwest, was tasked with quickly occupying several important passes in the Greater Caucasus Mountains, when the Ottoman army had just won a great victory and was unprepared. Block the retreat of the Ottoman army on the eastern front. Li Wei and Li Jing then led an infantry corps, more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry, armored divisions, and special forces, and launched a wide battle line from south to north, slowly pushing over from east to west. Originally, most of the Ottoman army crossed the Don River to fight a decisive battle with the Russian Empire, and there were few troops on the east bank of the Don River, and more of them were logistics and transportation teams. These armies were the opponents of the Yaogang army. Due to the fact that there were planes in the air to reconnoiter and indicate the target, the Ottoman Empire's assembly areas were quickly taken by the Yaogang army, and the advance from east to west was very rapid.

Li Kui and his team, led by several Mongolian guides who were familiar with the terrain, also traveled very quickly. The Ottoman officers and soldiers who plundered along the Volga River could not have imagined that anyone would come to them for trouble, especially since the Russian Imperial Army was defeated by them, and they felt that they could do whatever they wanted. They went out to plunder during the day, and when they came back at night, they counted the spoils, drank wine, and ate meat, and lived a very happy life. That's why they're willing to go to war.

Such an army was loosely organized, and for the convenience of going out to loot, there were not many people in each team. As long as Li Kui's cavalry found a camping spot and basically charged over, they would wipe them all out. Originally, Li Kui was afraid that the burden would affect the rapid movement of the army, and he didn't want to stay alive, but it happened that the local Mongols were willing to accept the prisoners, and the prisoners were handed over to them. The Mongols, who gritted their teeth with hatred for these demons, skinned them one by one and fed them to hungry wolves and wild dogs.

These Li Kui didn't care, except for leaving some small teams to deal with the Ottoman troops encountered along the way, the brigade did not stop. Two days later they arrived outside the city of Volgograd (Tsaritsyn). Almost at the same time, the 2nd Cavalry Army also reached the foot of the Greater Caucasus.

Zhang Zhimu, who had been paying attention to the battle situation in front, heard that Li Kui and the First Army of the cavalry had arrived in Tsaritsyn, and his heart was excited, he knew that it was the famous Stalingrad in his previous life. It was originally called Tsaritsyn because it was built on an island from which the Tsaritsyn River flowed into the Volga. It's a famous granary. I am afraid that the name Stalingrad will not be used again in the future, let alone the Battle of Stalingrad. Anyway, it's going to be ours now.

Ouyang He saw that Zhang Zhimu's expression was a little strange, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, we have captured more cities, what is the difference between Li Kui and the places they are facing?" ”

"Huh! This Volgograd is a good place, it is built on the Volga River, the climate is warm and humid, it is a big granary! We have completely cultivated the land in that area, and our entire western army and civilians can't use it! ”

The cavalry of the north and south used the method of surprise attack, and the Ottoman army was unprepared. Li Wei's army that they pushed flat still kept controlling the speed. The cavalry of the north and south were in place at the same time, which made Li Wei feel very good.

Li Jing was about to joke with him, when a staff officer suddenly ran into the big tent: "Report to the deputy commander, the Mongol Khan of the Turghut Department is here with a lot of Mongolian soldiers." ”

At this time, there was a sudden sound of gunshots from behind the big tent. Li Wei, Li Jing, and Fan Chengkun were stunned at the same time, and they came out of the big tent together, at this time, a soldier ran over on horseback, turned over and dismounted, and reported breathlessly: "Report, report!" The Mongols want to enter our camp, we stop us, they want to break in! There was no way, we had to shoot a warning, and our battalion commander asked what to do? ”

Li Wei knew that it was the guard battalion commander behind him who sent someone to ask for instructions!

Without waiting for Li Wei to reply, Li Jing said: "Why did the Turks come so quickly, let's go over and take a look!" ”

"You can't get used to it!" Liu Chenghuang said to Li Wei, "I see, I went over with Li Jing, and you are waiting for them here!" ”

Li Wei nodded and said, "It's okay!" Hurry up, that guard battalion commander is a seed, don't really kill people! ”

Li Jing said: "I think it's okay to kill a few, otherwise these guys don't understand the rules." You see, the tens of thousands of Mongol soldiers who have been following us are more disciplined. It's all ** out! ”

With that, Li Jing and Liu Chenghuang got into the car and drove back.

The car drove a short distance and came to the east gate of the camp, where he saw a large number of cavalry pressed by the black pressure in front of the door, and inside the camp, rows of soldiers, with automatic rifles, pointed at them outside the camp, and they were not allowed to enter the camp.

Li Jing and their car creaked and stopped in front of the door, and the guard battalion commander, when he saw that Li Jing and Liu Chenghuang were coming in person, immediately ran over and saluted: "Report!" Guard battalion commander Zhang Shun wants you to report! ”

"Report a fart!" Li Jing scolded, "Such a trivial matter, let Lao Tzu run away!" ”

The commander of the guard battalion said: "Deputy commander, look, what do you say to do?" ”

"What to do? There is no forgiveness for trespassing in the barracks! Li Jing said with a dark face.

When the battalion commander heard this, he was cowardly, his face was flushed and purple, and he immediately took out his pistol and was about to turn around and give the order. Li Jing shouted: "Bastard, what are you going to do?" ”

"Lao Tzu can't swallow this breath!" This battalion commander is really a seed.

"Who the fuck are you?" Li Jing glared at this guy fiercely.

"I, I'm .....!" This battalion commander knew he was saying the wrong thing.

Liu Chenghuang said: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me what's going on?" ”

"They said it was the Turks who came to fight the Turks with us! I told them to wait, and I asked for instructions, but they didn't wait, they had to go into the camp and wait. No matter how much we persuaded them, they didn't listen, and they insisted on breaking in! I'm going to shoot them in the air and warn them! ”

"Done right!" Li Jing said, "Take me to see, who is so powerful?" ”

"Good! The deputy commander comes with me! The battalion commander took Li Jing and Liu Chenghuang past his soldiers and came to the east gate to reject the horse.

The battalion commander said to a Mongolian who spoke Chinese to him: "This is General Li Jing, what do you have to say to him!" ”

When the Mongols heard that it was Li Jing coming, they knew that it was the main commander of the Yaogang side, and the originally very arrogant Mongols immediately dismounted and gave salutes, which made Li Jing feel a little more angry, "Tell me, what's going on with you?" ”

The Mongols said: "We have come to assist you in the battle by order of the Khan!" ”

"Can you Mongols come and go as you please?" Li Jing asked.

At this time, a Mongol came from behind, with some people, came to the door, and immediately dismounted, and the Mongol, who could speak Chinese, said, "Our prince has arrived!" ”

The prince who came heard that the person in front of him was Li Jing, and immediately came over and said, "General Li, I am Bray, the prince of the Turghut Special Division, and I have come to fight with you today on the orders of my father!" I just heard that there was some misunderstanding, so I rushed over immediately! Our soldiers are used to being savage, I will go back and teach them a lesson, please General Li don't be surprised! ”

Li Jing listened to what the prince said very well, and also had a good impression of him, and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, we are a military camp, and the soldiers who have not received our orders to guard the camp will not let anyone into the camp. You didn't say hello before you came, and don't blame us soldiers! ”

"Where to say, it's not good for us, and I ask General Li for forgiveness!" Bray has been very polite.

Li Jing said: "Let your soldiers camp outside and rest first, and you can come in with me!" ”

"Good! Thank you, General Lee! "Bray took the messenger into the camp. Li Jing asked him to get into the car and follow him up to Li Wei's tent.

It was the first time the prince had been in a car, and he couldn't figure out how the car had traveled without a horse, and he thought it was very novel.

But soon, they came to Li Wei's big tent, and Li Jing led Bray into the big tent and introduced Li Wei: "This is Bray, the prince of the Turghut tribe!" ”

Li Wei was also very polite to give Bray a seat for tea.

Bray said: "My father was overjoyed to receive the news from you that the Tsar had agreed to release our hostages in Moscow. Now that the Ottoman army is slaughtering and plundering our tribesmen on the west bank of the Volga River, my father has ordered me to lead 30,000 Mongolian warriors to fight with you and avenge our people!

Li Wei said: "I welcome you to send so many people to help in the war so quickly." However, His Royal Highness also knows that there must be rules in the army, and I just heard that some of you want to break into the barracks, which is not good! ”

"Yes, yes!" Prince Bray said, "I'm really sorry for this incident, and I ask General Lee for forgiveness!" I'll teach these bastards a good lesson when I go back! ”

Liu Chenghuang saw Prince Bui say this, and felt that he shouldn't make things too stiff, "Deputy commander, I think it's likely to be the case, the Mongolian brothers rushed over day and night, they were also tired and thirsty, and wanted to enter the camp early. They regarded our camp as their own home, and our brothers guarding the camp did not understand the situation, which led to today's misunderstanding. In my opinion, Prince Bray should not punish those Mongolian brothers when he goes back. From now on, we will all be a family, so it's good to be familiar with each other. Now we have 20,000 brothers from Western Mongolia in our battalion. We can't tell each other anymore. ”

Li Wei also said: "Yes, yes! Don't punish those brothers too much. By the way, I will send food to my Mongolian brothers immediately. We'll adjust the camp and make arrangements for you. You are also an army of 30,000, so you can't arrange it well! ”

There were 30,000 more cavalry all of a sudden, and Li Wei was of course very happy. These Mongol cavalry were a profitable army, and they were a very powerful force in the steppe.

Enwei paid equal attention to these means, and Li Wei, Li Jing, and Liu Chenghuang all understood, so the army immediately began to send good food and drink to the new Mongolian cavalry. These Mongolian cavalry originally thought that Lao Tzu was here to help you fight, and you even let the camp gate in, so they really felt a little humiliated, so they were also indignant. Unexpectedly, then the Yaogang people sent it with delicious food and drink, which made these Mongolians confused for a while. It was Prince Bray who came back and told them that the military discipline of the Yaogang army was very strict, and it was not good to violate the military discipline, but the generals usually loved their brothers very much, and this is not the case that we will eat the same as them in the future, and they are all so delicious and delicious. These Mongols were there to resist Li Wei's attack. Li Wei knew that in this way, he could make the new Mongols obedient.

Li Kui and the others outside Volgograd used the radio to contact Li Jing and the special forces they had sent in advance, and picked up more than a dozen of them.

The special forces told Li Kui that after the defeat of the Russian Imperial Army on the battlefield, the defenders of Volgograd also fled. The Ottomans sent more than 30,000 men and entered the city without much difficulty. After entering the city, only a few soldiers were left standing guard at the city gates, and the others were raped and plundered in the city, and were completely scattered in the city.

Hearing this, Li Kui smiled and said to Li Feng: "What kind of kid, do you dare to have a good time with Lao Tzu today?" ”

"As long as the deputy commander says it, I don't dare to do it!" Li Feng's answer was even more unambiguous, he had already roughly guessed what Li Kui meant.

"Hey, hey!" Li Kui smiled and made arrangements.

Li Kui is also a geek in battle, he is very bold, but he never suffers losses, he looks very coarse, in fact, he is thinner than others, and his deputy commander of the cavalry is not in vain. So Li Feng and they are also willing to fight with Li Kui.

At dawn, these special forces, disguised as Mongols, drove ox carts loaded with goods and walked towards the city of Volgograd. They were the lowest level in the army, and it was not their turn to go into the city to burn, kill, commit adultery, and loot, and when they did not go to work, they could only secretly make some small moves in the city, and only the things that were involved in standing guard were theirs. One by one, the scolding sentries suddenly saw ten people rushing over, and they thought it was very strange, and at this time, there were still people who dared to rush to the city, and there must be something wrong with their brains. Isn't this sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?

However, when it was sent to the door, the Turkish soldiers standing guard all came to their senses, waved their hands from afar, and told them to stop. These Mongols looked like a caravan, and the soldiers standing guard were crooked in joy, saying that they couldn't get rich if they didn't want to, and these Mongols sent them to the door.

When the car approached, the Turkish soldiers, armed with scimitars, surrounded the men and asked them where they had come from, but they did not understand what the Turks were saying, but they were gesturing with each other. The angry Turks picked up their swords and taught them a lesson. But these dozen submissive people suddenly changed their faces and started to do so. These Turks are the opponents of the special forces with makeup. Soon they were all poured out.

A few soldiers inside the city gate were a little farther away, and these people realized that something was wrong and shouted.

The special forces took out the **** and knocked them all down. More than a dozen special forces occupied the castle gate, Li Feng led a division of cavalry to rush into the city of Volgograd from the city gate, and the Turks in the streets and alleys were unprepared and were knocked over by the oncoming bullets on the street. Many Turks in the castle were discouraged by the gunshots, and rushed out of the city through the other gates with their horses.

In fact, this is exactly Li Kui's cleverness, he has fought such a battle, and knows that it is very troublesome to search for the enemy from house to house in the city, so he deliberately did not block all the city gates, but left them a chance to escape from the city.

Li Kui took the other cavalry, waited for them outside the city, and then eliminated them when they left the city, so it would be much easier!

These Turks were beaten to the point of being hooded, and many of them did not know at whose hands they died until they died. Some of the Turks in the city were killed in the streets, and a large part of them fled from the city, and when they found that they could not escape outside the city, they dismounted and surrendered.

But the people of the city have been afflicted by these fellows, and there is not a single one who has not suffered. After the Yaogang people entered the city, they killed the Turks, and soon won the support of the people in the city.

The people of Yaogang are very experienced in propaganda work, and they comfort the people everywhere, telling them that we know that everyone has suffered a disaster, and our army will immediately send food to help everyone.

Where have the people seen such an army now, and they don't believe that these armies will send food to support them. However, the large car fleet of Yaogang was already on the road with food. The people saw the Yaogang army carrying the dead bodies out of the city, cleaning up the bloodstains, bringing in earth from outside the city, and helping to disinfect everywhere. The people felt that it was a savior.

In this battle, more than 20,000 Turks were captured, 10,000 horses were captured, and many things they looted. Li Kui decided to organize people with status in the city to help the people in the city claim their things. This incident made the people understand that this army is really a different army. Li Kui left some of his men to guard the city with prisoners, and most of his army continued to advance along the Don River. But when the people saw a large number of troops leaving, they came out to intercept them and did not let them go. The people were afraid that the Turks would come back.

Li Kui patiently told the people's representatives: "We will leave a part of the army to protect everyone." We will have troops coming over in the follow-up to bring food to everyone, and it will be there in a day or two, so everyone will wait patiently. But we must send troops to drive the Turks out once and for all. So that we can live a peaceful life! ”

Then the army swept forward along the east bank of the Don.
