The governors of all places are bothering to prepare some strange and inappropriate gifts for the emperor's wedding, but in order to show their integrity, the gifts should not be too expensive. At the time of all the troubles, in the Mongolian military camp in Mobei. Nie Shicheng and several of his commanders were discussing how to deal a certain blow to the Russian soldiers who entered the country.

Winter in Mobei is a very difficult season, with ice and snow everywhere. In the weather of dozens of degrees below zero, you have to wear a bayonet when urinating in the wild, otherwise it will be a popsicle. From time to time, he had to smash popsicles with bayonets, and the Mauser gun in his hand couldn't even pull the bolt, so you can imagine the bad weather.

The four Biao Tong and Nie Shicheng who had been temporarily summoned in the barracks were discussing something around a bonfire.

"Junmen, how the hell is this battle fought? What kind of orders did those people from the military department order? Lao Tzu has been fighting for so many years, but he didn't understand. A bearded general with a full beard said.

"Yes, Junmen, when we fought with the French, we didn't approve several requests for war, so we had to let us defend against the Russians in this hellish place. The Russians really entered and plundered, and the military department said that they could not fight on two fronts, and that they had to wait until the French were defeated first. Well, now that the French have been driven away, it's our turn, and we won't be allowed to chase the enemy, what kind of battle is this?? This whole plain in the north of the desert, if there is no shelter or block, the Russian devil will crash into our arms by himself? How can you hit the Russians without letting the pursuit?? Another older general also said indignantly.

When everyone heard this, they all said yes, how to fight France, it would be so open. Fight as much as you like, Liu Mingchuan knocked out the total production of shells from the Hubei Gun and Artillery Bureau for three months in two days after fighting Hucheng Fortress. But now that he has come to himself, he has tied his hands and feet. Don't let this, don't let that.

Nie Shicheng stirred the bonfire with the wooden branch in his hand, repeating the telegram from the military headquarters over and over again in his mind.

"If the Russians enter the country without a reason, they can be dealt with head-on. Remember not to chase the enemy, especially off the border. ”

What happened to the imperial court? Even the French dared to attack on the sea, and they were so timid when they were harassed by a small Russian force. If you don't let the enemy be chased, how can you fight?

Because of the terrain, Mobei is a hotbed for cavalry. There are no mountains, no plateaus. There are only patches of grasslands. It was also the Russian cavalry that entered the border line and plundered, and when they encountered the troops of the Qing Dynasty, they turned around and returned. If not allowed to pursue, unless the Russians are blind and crash into their arms. Otherwise, don't try to win.

"The military gate will not be subject to the military orders outside. Let's leave those fools in the military department alone, where will they fight? How should we fight and how to fight. The bearded general said.

", you think it's still the same. Does the Ministry of War now have the authority to directly issue combat missions to us? "Nie Shicheng's mind is still relatively clear.

"Huh? Junmen, do you mean an order from the Military Aircraft Division? The bearded man's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.

"I don't see it, there is a **** in ten that the little emperor personally ordered it." Nie Shicheng continued to fiddle with the wooden branch in his hand.

"Junmen, what does the emperor mean? Since we are asked to fight the Russians, and we are not allowed to fight properly, what are you trying to do? The older general said impatiently.

"Damn, why do you know I'm looking for you? Let's sum it up, don't worry about why the emperor wants us to do this. Now that the order has been issued, we must resolutely carry it out! Luo Ming, tell me how we fight? Nie Shicheng pointed to the wooden branch in his hand and pointed to the young man opposite who had not spoken.

Everyone's eyes turned to this inconspicuous white-faced scholar, who was the first batch of army generals trained by the Qing Dynasty itself. He is one of the first batch of graduates of Heilongjiang Military Academy. was assigned to the nearest Nie Shicheng Department as a battalion commander, because of his excellent ability and excellent military skills. There was also a belly of ink, and he was transferred to Lu Yiwei's department to fill the vacancy of his standard system to study in Germany. was exceptionally promoted to the standard by Nie Shicheng. He is also a member of the first phase of the Black Army, which will be feared by the whole world in the future.

I saw Luo Ming calm down slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Back to the military gate, the purpose of the Russian invasion may be because the Russian ** team north of the border line is in Siberia, the environment and climate are even worse than ours, and their country's economic center of gravity is far away in Europe, so they can't get supplies, so they have repeatedly gone south to loot." In addition to wanting to occupy more of my Qing land, the more important thing may be to loot supplies. ”

Nie Shicheng nodded frequently after hearing this, it turned out that he didn't want to start a war with me Daqing. No wonder the emperor only let us dare them go back, and didn't let us chase them over.

"And how is this battle fought??" The bearded man asked fiercely.

"Since the supplies are their purpose, how many heavy troops will we send out, are we afraid that they will not come to rob them? As long as they come, let them have no return, so how can they chase the enemy? Luo Ming said unhurriedly.

"Huh? Xiucai, it turns out that you have already had a plan. Then what kind of reserve did you pretend to be just now, if you say it earlier, you won't have to worry about me for so long, big brother. Hahaha, Junmen, I think it's feasible. The bearded man said grinningly.

Nie Shicheng threw the wooden branch in his hand into the bonfire, and said firmly: "That's it, Li Hui, you go back and prepare two or three companies to prepare some supplies for me to go out and walk around." Luo Ming, you take the 10th battalion of people to respond at any time. ”

"Wow."

"Wow."

After leaving the tent, they departed in four directions: south, east, west, and north......

A cavalry of about 200 people dragged more than 20 carts of grain and grass on the endless grassland and slowly advanced slowly towards the camp where the advance troops were stationed.

"Company commander, it's not far from the Darkhan steppe here. The troops should be in front, or let the brothers march hard overnight, and they can arrive early tomorrow morning. A soldier named Wang Yue said.

The company commander looked at the sky, then at the soldiers behind him and said, "The team is tired, and it's getting late." Lao Maozi often haunts here, so let's rest in place. A guard post was released around the team, and the rest of the group rested in place. ”

"Yes."

The group of people transporting grain and grass were already tired and no longer human, and their buttocks were shaking on horseback. After hearing the order to rest in place, they immediately formed a circle and lit a fire as usual. It may be the happiest to bake a fire in this ice and snow for a while, but I didn't expect that the fire was just lit and the company commander who escorted the grain and grass kicked out the fire, and turned around and left without saying anything.

The captain of the transport team that delivered the grain was called Zhuo Yan, who was a man with a white flag. It is said that the white flag belongs to the three flags, and with this identity, you can raise flowers and birds in the capital, and you can live a good life. After all, most of the flag men do this, but he doesn't, he is willing to be the captain of the transport team. I don't want to be idle at home alone, this guy is also a donkey temper, and when he saw the officer who was escorting the grain and grass kicking the fire away, he scolded: "Rabbit cub, Lao Tzu is here to send you military rations, not to be angry." ”

The veteran sitting next to him pulled Zhuo Yan and said: "You can't light a fire here, Lao Maozi's cavalry often wanders around here, and a little fire is easy to attract them."

Zhuo Yan heard this, turned his head to look, and saw that the soldiers did not light the fire, but silently ate dry food, and suddenly Zhuo Yan felt ashamed, and expressed his understanding of the company commander's approach, without a little resentment.

In fact, in Zhuo Yan's heart, Manren is still the previous tiger and wolf army. It's just that he hasn't practiced using firearms, and the words "Jurchen is less than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible" has always been in his heart. His ancestors were so brave and invincible, how could he rely on the Han people to win the battle in his own generation.
