Chapter 117: The Battle of Mobei

On July 12, 500, 15 divisions of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) broke through the border of the Kuk Khanate at night, and 150,000 people occupied the three major tribes on the border in just one night, controlling a population of more than 600,000. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

After capturing a large number of technical personnel and grain and grass, the People's Liberation Army retreated to the garrison city on the western front of the empire before the arrival of the army led by Tian Khan, which made the tribal leaders of Cook grit their teeth with hatred.

Jing Ling is very aware of the shortcomings of the nomads, first of all, their tribal system is similar to the lord system, Tian Khan stands at the top of the pyramid of power, followed by the tribal khans, magnates, sergeant majors, commoners, and slaves, such a system makes the country full of factions, the command of the army is not coordinated, and the materials that can be used are also limited.

Corresponding to this is the super mobilization capacity of the PLA, and the Chinese Party, with its ideals of freedom, equality, and prosperity, penetrates all the villages and towns of the empire, including village and town cadre committees, militia committees, party branches, judicial bureaus, women's salvation associations, the Communist Youth League, and children's leagues.

These seven organizations are able to organize the popular forces of the empire at an astonishing speed, gathering the supplies of the whole country in an instant, which is like a war machine built by the power of the whole country!

After the People's Liberation Army (PLA) plundered a large number of personnel and materials and retreated to the garrison city on the Western Front, Jing Ling ordered to mobilize 1 million people to join the logistics force, and they transported the materials collected from all over the country to the battlefield on the Western Front, some of them treated the wounded soldiers, and some cooked for the soldiers.

In the Cook Khanate, on the other hand, the tribes were usually suspicious and competitive with each other, but now it was only the great enemy that united them.

Don't forget that another synonym of the Cook people is the ringing horse thief, which means that they often go to the farming country in groups to loot, and if there is good food and drink at home, who wants to be a thief?

Therefore, if they were to donate all the materials in the tribe to prepare for war, the people at the bottom would not agree to it at first, let alone think that they would be able to follow the army to the battlefield as logistics personnel.

It can also be seen that the national conditions of the Cook Khanate are not optimistic, and now they have to face a huge army like a wolf, and the war mobilization and organization ability of the two countries is not at the same level at all, although this war has not yet fully popularized firearms, but the strong combat effectiveness of the Mobei Iron Cavalry has no chance to give full play to its advantages, because the PLA has been hiding in the deep ditch fortress, and there is no intention to confront it head-on.

Tian Khan also thought about taking the initiative to attack, but it was simply whimsical for 160,000 cavalry to break through the garrison city on the Western Front of the Chinese Empire!

Although he didn't know that Jing Ling had mobilized more than a million people, he knew that if the battle line was pressed into the territory of the Chinese Empire, the Cook Khanate would definitely be dragged down, not to mention the long baggage transportation lines, and his own supplies alone would not be enough to support a major battle.

So he could only order the whole army to retreat to a few tribes on the border, but the soldiers who were ready for battle would consume a lot of supplies, which made the people of the rest of the tribes miserable.

Only three days later, the tribal leaders all asked to send some troops home to participate in the production, and the Tian Khan reluctantly agreed to this decision, after all, if it drags on any longer, the troops will have to eat the northwest wind.

Albertan, Tandon County, Suti Rafael City, City Hall......

"This bastard Jing Ling! I'm going to have to skin him!! ”

A group of richly dressed retainers bowed their heads with sad faces, while the thunderous and furious Condon roared and roared, and no one dared to dissuade him, because the split-eyed Condon was really terrifying, his armor was in tatters, his silver hair was disheveled, and his anger at the moment looked more like hysteria.

Eight days ago, his army was wiped out because of Jingling, and during those eight days he fled for his life non-stop, and the feeling of fear was not at all pleasant, and finally he finally fled back to his territory, but the news he got turned out to be that the People's Liberation Army had entered the Cook Khanate!

Although he has not yet received the news that the PLA has retreated to the garrison on the Western Front, this has already shocked him, knowing that the Cook Khanate is not only rich in good horses, but most importantly, its northern border is adjacent to Tandong County, if the PLA captures Cook and uses it as a base for the Northern Expedition, then the backyard of the empire will be on fire!

"My lord, military assistance to Cook is the top priority." The person who spoke was Sindra, and although he had always worn a mask and was mysterious, the retainers knew that this man had a pivotal position in Condon's eyes, and he was the only one who dared to pour fire on Condon's anger.

Although Condon was furious, he also knew what had to be done now, only to see him shout to one of his retainers: "Hurry! Report our situation here to Katwan, and then have the towns on the southern front gather grain and grass and send it to Cook! ”

On 15 July 500, Albertan's first convoy of grain and hay arrived in the Khanate of Kuk.

After alleviating the pressure of food shortage, Tian Khan ordered 80,000 iron cavalry to disperse the three tribes stationed on the border, and the army had to pass through these three tribes if it wanted to advance to the Cook Khanate.

But this man-like Tian Khan forgot one of the most fatal problems, that is, the People's Liberation Army has unrivaled organizational capabilities and military command and coordination.

That night, Jing Ling ordered fifteen divisions to besiege the 'Lorkczech' tribe closest to the border at full speed, you must know that the People's Liberation Army has been recuperating in the garrison city on the southern front of the country, and they are training how to go into battle to kill the enemy every day, while the Mobei Iron Cavalry wants to maintain the stability of the tribe, as well as solve the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the soldiers, and it is necessary to issue orders layer by layer in an emergency.

Therefore, when the PLA troops approached the 'Lorkče' tribe, the troops left behind in the other two tribes were completely organized and came to support the 'Lorkče' tribe, but they did not know that the PLA had dug a 'pit' waiting for them to jump.

Jing Ling deployed seven divisions one kilometer outside the 'Lorkczeki' tribe, while the other eight divisions were ambushed in the rear to form a bag-like position, and when reinforcements from the other two tribes arrived, Tian Khan felt that he had 160,000 iron cavalry and should gather his strength to swallow the 70,000 enemy troops.

Although he also suspected that there might be fraud in this, he believed that 160,000 iron cavalry could cross the steppe, and that ordinary infantry would have to pay a 3:1 casualty rate against the cavalry of Shangmobei in the wilderness, which was the experience gained from countless wars, so he chose to wave his army to attack the 70,000 troops who were close to the 'Lork Czech' tribe.

But he didn't know that these seven divisions were just luring the enemy troops, and Jing Ling ordered them to retreat to the rear when they were attacked, luring the enemy into the bag-shaped encirclement, and when the seven divisions fought and retreated, he finally found that he had led his army deep into the enemy's encirclement.

The advantage of cavalry lies in charging and outflanking, and facing an encirclement with artillery is equivalent to a death sentence!

Therefore, before the careful encirclement was formed, the tribal khans hurriedly ordered their armies to break through at full speed, which also led to the discarding of a large amount of baggage, including firearms and ammunition aided by Albertan.
