Inner Mongolia, Hohhot. -

Now that it has gradually entered the late autumn season, Hohhot has become very cold, and the 'trade' here has gradually entered the off-season, and business travel is no longer as popular as before.

Hohhot garrisoned the Qing court of more than 3,000 green battalion soldiers, as well as the "Mongolian" ancient eight banners of 3,000 cavalry, is a veritable military city, as the administrative and economic center of the Inner Mongolian, more than 6,000 troops, deterring the entire Inner Mongolian" ancient unscrupulous movements, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, here is the most solid barrier of the Inner Mongolian, but now it is different, the entire Qing Dynasty's green battalion soldiers have been decayed,' When the Meng' Ancient Eight Banners were also exterminating the Twist Army, they declined with the fall of Zenglingqin, and the 'Mongolian' Ancient Eight Banners, which frightened the enemy, had long since ceased to exist, and now they can only be pressed down.

Garrisoned in Hohhot is the Suiyuan general Ke 'Meng' who was enshrined by the imperial court, and he has in his hands the 8,000 'elite' elite forces of the 'Meng' Ancient Eight Banners, and with these 8,000 troops as the backing, Ke 'Meng' is the emperor's general existence in Suiyuan, arrogant and extravagant, 'lewd', and the armament has been abandoned to the extreme.

Now, Ke 'Meng' is drinking and having fun in his mansion, and it is freezing cold, so he doesn't go out to inspect, and there are things that are handled by those deputies below, so he doesn't have to work hard.

At this time, there was an argument in the courtyard, and a rough voice shouted: "No, 100,000 is urgent, no matter what the general is doing, I must see him!" ”

Another voice rang out and said, "Commander Mu, you know that the general is most taboo when he is resting, and someone has rashly disturbed him. ”

The commander of Mu roared: "It's all fucking burning eyebrows, it's just that the general has masturbated me in the blink of an eye, and I want to see him too, hurry up and report it, something big has happened!" ”

Ke 'Meng' frowned, this Moon is his cronies' subordinates, the kung fu in his hands is really not weak, he is very good at marching and fighting, and it is the weapon he relies on all the way to promotion, what is wrong with him today? So anxious to see me.

Ke 'Meng' said in a loud voice in the room, "Moon, what's wrong? If something happens, you can't just watch and deal with it yourself, or let me come forward in person! ”

Moon roared: "My lord, it's amazing, a large number of Tsarist Russian cavalry has appeared in the northwest of Hohhot, and they are 'approaching' Hohhot, my lord, please see me!" ”

Ke 'Meng' was taken aback, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, the army of Tsarist Russia was killed, and he knew the root of this group of troops under his command, if the Tsarist army of the brigade was 'forced' over, he was afraid that he would not have to fight, but he would just scare it, and he would have to break up.

Ke 'Meng' hurriedly shouted: "Come in, come in and speak!" ”

Moon hurriedly walked a few steps, pushed the big 'door' open, and a cold air 'forced' in, and the frozen 'Meng' forehead quickly tightened his collar, and hurriedly asked, "Moon, what's going on?" ”

Moon looked anxious and said: "My lord, now the cavalry of Tsarist Russia is only more than two hundred miles away from us, I am afraid that in one day, we can reach Hohhot, and the cavalry under my subordinates report that this group of cavalry is numerous, but I am afraid that there are no less than 20,000 people, my lord, if they really arrive in Hohhot, we will not be able to resist it at all." ”

Ke Meng's face turned white with fright, 20,000 cavalry, how can this, so many cavalry deal with it?

Ke 'Meng' stammered: "Mu, Moon, what should we, what should we do?" Can Hohhot still hold on? ”

Moon said bitterly: "My lord, all the soldiers in Hohhot combined, there are only more than 6,000 people, and the armament has always been lax, and the combat effectiveness is extremely poor, only the three battalions of men and horses under the mark, more than 1,000 people have a certain combat effectiveness, how can they resist the attack of the Tsarist army, their Cossack cavalry is a world-famous iron cavalry, too powerful, I'm afraid that we can't stop it for even a day, and we have to lose Hohhot City!" ”

Ke 'Meng' asked, "So, what then?" What are we going to do? If we lose Hohhot, then we will all lose our heads. ”

Moon replied, "What to do?" My lord, now we just sent an urgent telegram to the imperial court, saying that the Tsarist Russian army has 60,000 people, ten times that of me, the disparity in strength, outnumbered, ask the imperial court to send rescue troops quickly, in this way, at least even if we lose Hohhot, there are some reasons, even if we want to investigate and deal with us, we will not be punished much, hurry, hurry up and send a telegram, it's late, we will all be finished, and, general, hurry up and order, gather all the troops, open the arsenal, and bullet all the weapons. Medicine', I hope we can resist the attack for a few days, so that we may be able to avoid punishment. ”

Ke 'Meng' yelled: "Yes, hurry, hurry up and send an urgent telegram to the imperial court in my name!" The Ministry of War, the Prime Minister's Ya'men, and the Governor's Office of Zhili are all issued, hurry, go to give orders, quickly assemble troops, and immediately prepare for war! ”

The whole of Hohhot was mobilized in an instant, and all the army, fifteen large battalions, more than 6,000 people, were all assembled and scattered in the four city 'gates' of Hohhot.

Just when the K'Mong had not yet completed its war preparations, the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia arrived in the second half of the night, and the cavalry outside the city was full of black oppression, and the shouts shook the sky.

Ke 'Meng' swallowed a mouthful of spit hard on the head of the city, this, this is more than 20,000 fucking cavalry, it looks like there are more than 30,000 or 40,000 people, the dog should have cut down the reported cavalry scout, I knew that there were so many people, Lao Tzu didn't take it with him for a day in Hohhot, didn't I want my life, I might not be able to run.

Moon on the side looked at Kemeng' forehead and said, "General, it seems that our Guisui City will definitely not be able to hold it, so we must quickly find a way out." ”

Ke 'Meng' nodded and said: "Moon, you immediately go and arrange, take all the 'elite' soldiers with you, and be ready to abandon the city at any time, this can't be fucking fought, so many cavalry, why didn't we know any news before!" ”

When the two of them were discussing, the Russian army had already driven to the bottom of Guisui City and began to attack the city, but the Russian army did not have many artillery, I am afraid it was also for the effect of a surprise attack, only with less than twenty 'guns', all of which were still relatively light weapons, but even so, they could not be underestimated, thousands of Cossack cavalry, towards the northern city 'gate' of Hohhot, launched a surprise attack! Like a storm and a huge 'wave' swept towards the 'gate' of the city.

Now the Qing army in the city was so frightened that their faces turned white, and Moon on the side hurriedly ordered: "Shelling, shelling!" Shoot me back, what the fuck are you doing! "The Qing army hurriedly 'chaotic' loading shells, lighting the fuse, and firing the cannons, but the cannons on the city of Hohhot are all old-fashioned cannons many years ago, and the 'firing' speed is too slow, only a few cannons were fired, and a few water points were lit in the army of Cossack cavalry, and the Cossack cavalry had rushed to the city. Ke 'Meng' yelled: "Quick, resist, resist Lao Tzu!" Moon, let's go! ”
