The first is more frantically asking for a monthly pass

This place in Kulun now has a new name - Tengger City. The original city of Kulen and most of the buildings in the city, including the Great Yellow Temple of Jebtsundamba, no longer exist. When Yixin retreated from Kulen, he ruined everything, killing Kulen and the Mongols around Kulen. Because the Russians know that the Mongols already have a new Great Khan, Tengri Khan! Although this Great Khan, like Yixin, was not a Mongol, Yixin was a fraud, and Tengri Khan used overwhelming force to expel Yixin and become the lord of the steppe desert. Muravyov, who knows the nature of the Mongols, knows that as long as Yixin leaves the steppe, Tengri Khan Zhu Jishi will immediately be supported by the Mongols on the steppe, and it will be a scourge to leave them sooner or later!

Therefore, when the army commanded by Luo Junqi, Li Wenmao and Miao Peilin met in Kulun, not only was there no city here, but even the yurt could not be seen. Fortunately, it is not very difficult to rebuild the city in Kulen.

Although Kulen is located in the Mongolian steppe, the steppe is not the only landform around it. This area originates from the confluence of the Great Plain of Eastern Mongolia and the Kent Mountains. It is surrounded by endless grasslands, the rushing Tula River, and the densely forested Kent Mountains. There was enough timber to build the city, and it could develop into the capital of the Khalkha Mongols, which is also related to this topography.

Nearly 80,000 Ming troops and tens of thousands of Mongol Tushetu Khan herdsmen arrived in Kulen and did not continue their northward advance. Instead, they cut down trees and built cities. The new city no longer bears the name of Kulun, but is named after Zhu Jishi's Khan Tengger. It was named Tengger City. Tengger City was built on the Tula River. The castle is not an oriental-style square castle. Rather, it is a European-style star fortress in order to achieve the best defensive effect, so it is a fortress city.

According to the plan, this city will become the center of the steppe ruled by the Ming Empire in the future, and in this war against Russia, it will become an important transit point for logistics and supplies, as well as an important transit point for the railway line to Lake Baikal.

Miao Peilin is known for being good at building cities, so he is responsible for the construction of Tengger City. After inspecting the completion site every day, he also reported the progress to General Luo Junqi, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian Army of the Ming Army after the meeting.

"There are 10 days left to complete the façade and trench work at most. By the way, Dashuai, is there any news from the north? Miao Peilin asked more.

"I just received a report from the spies, Yixin seems to have retreated from buying and selling the city, and is desperately building the city like us." Luo Junqi said, "If that's good, when the construction of Tengger City is finished, we can go north to fight Yixin's turtle shell." ”

"The Russians will interfere, right?" Miao Peilin asked with some concern.

"Yes," Luo Junqi said coldly. "It's just one or two thousand Mao soldiers, even if they have three heads and six arms, they can't help but consume. The crux of this battle. Or the railway. ”

Luo Junqi's swarthy face showed an anxious expression: "Third Brother Yusan, can you people from Suiyuan go and help Hu Runzhi?" ”

Miao Peilin stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't worry, Luo Shuai, there is nothing wrong with Hu Runzhi, how can there be not enough manpower there, the emperor will definitely find a way to give him a husband." The key now is to prepare for the north...... The old man was worried that Yixin and the Russians would not sit around in the trading city. ”

"What can you do if you don't sit still? The scout cavalry has already scattered a lot, but Mongolia is so big, we can't take care of it at all by relying on our scout cavalry, and even if we find that Yixin's cavalry has passed, I don't know how many days it has been since the news came back to Tengger City. ”

Luo Junqi set his eyes on a huge map of Mongolia, "But Yi Xin's soldiers came south to fight with us, and they were looking for death, and if he was willing to fight, he would not abandon Kulen." If there is no decisive battle, it is the doctrine of fighting the logistics line, then there is no problem, there are Li Laohu's 10,000 guards cavalry, there are the 32nd battalion of Suizhen soldiers of the elder brother, and there are so many Mongolian nomadic cavalry...... Horizontally and vertically it is more than a thousand miles of land, and so many soldiers can't guard it? ”

……

"Bang Bang ......"

The sound of gunfire echoed in a valley in the Kent Mountains, and a cavalry that was moving south through the valley suddenly stopped, and immediately the warriors in yellow cotton armor looked in the direction of the gunfire.

A few more "pops" of gunshots rang out.

The army had stopped advancing, so the knights' eyes were on the direction where the Chinese army was.

Fu Fang, who had only one arm left to control the horse, also grabbed the reins and turned his head to look at a Russian bearded Major General Rosovsky, who was also wearing a yellow flag military uniform.

"Keep going!" Major General Rosovsky ordered loudly in Russian, "Fu, let your men move on, there is nothing to be afraid of, a few Chinese scout cavalry!" ”

Fu Fang's expression was a little nervous, this is a very favorable valley for ambush! He craned his neck and looked around, seeing that the slopes on both sides were sparsely populated with pine forests, and there was no shadow of an ambush? At this time, two fast horses galloped from the front, and reported to Fu Fang loudly: "My lord! The cavalry who met Ming Gouzi in front, there were seven or eight people, and they had already repulsed, and our brothers were not killed or wounded! ”

"Did you catch your tongue?"

"No, those Ming dogs run faster than rabbits!"

Fu Fang turned his head to Major General Rosovsky and said in Russian: "Your Excellency, Major General, our whereabouts have revealed ......"

"What if it's exposed? It was several hundred versts from Kulen, and by the time the Chinese cavalry arrived at Kulen, I don't know how many days later. Rosovsky smiled and waved his hand. He saw that Fu Fang still had a worried expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as our cavalry reaches the Mongolian steppe, no matter how many Chinese cavalry there are, they can't help us, because ...... They Chinese simply don't know how to use cavalry. Fu, haven't you noticed that the Chinese use cavalry as infantry? Although their cavalry was more and more powerful than ours, they did not have the slightest offensive spirit. Cavalry, after all, is a mobile offensive force, not used to follow the infantry butt as a nanny. ”

Hearing Rosovsky's joke, Fu Fang also laughed, as if the Ming cavalry was just a master who followed the infantry's buttocks? This was the case in the Central Plains, it was also the case in Manchuria, and in the Mongolian steppe, the cavalry of the Ming army was still like this.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows, stretched out his only arm and waved: "Brothers! Go ahead and let Ming Gouzi see what the Eight Banners Iron Ride is! ”

At this moment, almost 1,500 miles away in the south, there was also a group of brightly armored cavalry slowly advancing on the Gobi Desert. If this cavalry is used to fight with the cavalry commanded by Fu Fang and Rosovsky in the steppe, the latter will definitely be defeated. No one will doubt such a result, and the commander of this cavalry, Li Qiusheng and Li Laohu, will not have any doubts.

But the question is, how could Yi Xin's cavalry travel thousands of miles to send him to death? Even if they ate the courage of the ambitious leopard to wander around the Mongolian steppe, they would probably be frightened and flee when they saw the Ming Guards cavalry.

"Hanmin, you said that we won't always guard the back road for the infantry in the future, right?" Li Qiusheng looked back at his classmate at the Apleizhou Military Academy, Major General Zhang Hanmin, commander of the Guards Lancer Brigade.

"Impossible." Zhang Hanmin is a native of Guangdong, tall and thin, and has the nickname of the tall guy Zhang. Because there are many Cantonese in the middle and high-level of the Ming army, the news is also better than Li Qiusheng, a native of Shandong. "Tiger, you still don't know the way, the emperor is preparing to build a cavalry corps."

"Cavalry Legion?" Li Qiusheng thought for a while, "I seem to have heard of it, and recruited a lot of Mongolians to be the head of the sect...... But what can this Mongol teach him? If their cavalry were to benefit, would they let the Manchus be kept in the steppe for more than two hundred years as local dogs? ”

"Hehe, the ruler is short, and the inch is long." Zhang Hanmin said with a smile, "If we put it on the table, 100,000 Mongolian cavalry can't beat us, but if we compare the march, our guards cavalry is really inferior to others." Speaking of which, we can't walk much faster than the infantry......" (To be continued......
