On the steppe, scouts from both sides began to encounter frequently. At this time, it is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and there is no grass to hide.

Scouts on both sides can find each other from a distance, especially the Ming scouts are also equipped with binoculars. Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible for the Mongols to have the opportunity to surprise the Ming army.

The Mongol scouts began to frequently spy on the movements of the Ming army, but most of them were shot and destroyed by the Ming army scouts before they could get close to the construction site of the Ming army.

The sporadic gunfire on the steppe is a battle between scouts.

The Mongolian scouts suffered a bloody loss, because the Ming scouts were equipped with cavalry guns, which were also Type 11 rifles with the barrel sawed short, which were later called carbines.

Although the barrels of these cavalry guns were sawn short, the effective range was still more than 500 meters, which was quite enough to hit the enemy at this distance. Generally, targets that exceed 300 meters are not so easy to aim, unless they are elite soldiers who have undergone long-term training, they can hit targets 500 meters away, and sniper rifles with scopes are generally required to exceed this distance.

After discovering the Mongol scouts, it can be said that they can fight as much as they want. You can shoot from a distance of 300 meters, but the range of the bow and arrow in the hands of the Mongolian scouts is only 60 or 70 meters, which is not a level at all. Moreover, those Mongolian scouts did not know that the Ming scouts were equipped with new equipment, and often swaggered approaching at a distance of 300 meters, thinking that they were very safe.

Zhang Baocai is a member of the scouts of the Ming Army, called scouts in the army, and belongs to the Scout Brigade of the Central Army. Together with his comrade-in-arms Xiong Fei, he was ordered to carry out a counter-reconnaissance mission within 50 miles of the railway construction site.

Both of them were armed with mounted guns, and one man and two horses were counter-reconnaissance everywhere on the grassland. Soon the two spotted five Mongol scouts in the northwest direction.

The five Mongol scouts then spotted them as well, as if they had found prey, and quickly approached. Zhang Baocai and Xiong Fei dismounted at this time, and the cavalry guns in their hands were aimed at the five Mongolian scouts who were attacking, and it was not until the Mongolian scouts approached two hundred meters away that the two pulled the trigger.

Bang bang......

Gunshots rang out. One of the two Mongol scouts was thrown to the ground in the chest, while one was hit by a horse and thrown off his horse.

The other three Mongol scouts were stunned and did not understand what was happening. They heard gunfire, but there was no Ming army within a hundred meters. The gunfire came from two hundred meters away, and it was done by the two Ming scouts.

But why did their muskets hit so far?

The frightened Mongolian scouts suddenly accelerated their speed and rushed forward, and the Ming army's musket loaded with bullets had a gap, and the contact came down all these years. These Mongols also generally knew a lot about the Ming army, and had a certain understanding of the flintlock pistols equipped by the Ming army.

Only five seconds later, however, the gunshots rang out again.

Wang Baocai and Xiong Fei quickly pulled the bolt of the gun, and only after aiming for a few seconds did they pull the trigger. In an instant, the bullet flew out of the chamber of the gun, and a Mongolian scout was hit in the head on the spot, making a terrifying and hideous bloody hole in his forehead. The other bullet missed the target.

There are only two left.

One hundred and fifty meters away, the remaining two Mongol scouts were already pulling the reins in fear. Quickly turn the horse's head and try to escape.

Bang bang bang......

Wang Baocai and Xiong Fei quickly pulled the bolt, and the bullet quickly shot out. Soon the last two Mongol scouts were also knocked off their horses.

The two then began to clean up the battlefield. One Mongol scout was successfully captured, and the remaining four Mongol scouts were killed. Three of the Mongol scouts' horses were killed and two were captured.

The two cut off the heads of the Mongol scouts and returned to the camp with their captives and captured horses.

These Mongol scouts no longer have an advantage at all in the duel with the Ming scouts. In terms of discovering the enemy's situation, the Ming army scouts were expected to have a telescope. The weapon has an absolute range advantage.

So much so that a large number of Mongolian scouts were killed by the Ming scouts when they were investigating the movements of the Ming army, and many of them were shot and killed by the Ming scouts. The Mongols sent hundreds of scouts in a company, and more than half of them were killed before they figured out the movements of the Ming army.

When Lin Dan Khan received the scout's reconnaissance results, he understood what the Ming army was doing. These Ming troops actually built roads, cities, and forts on the grassland.

Lin Danhan was suddenly so shocked that he couldn't speak, he didn't think about it at all. The Ming army would build cities and forts on the grassland.

"How is this possible, how can the people of the Ming Kingdom obtain a large number of materials for building a city on the grassland." Lin Dan Khan couldn't figure it out, there were simply not so many building materials on the steppe.

Could it be that it was transported from within the Ming State Pass?

How many wagons does it take to get it all out?

"The Great Khan, they built a road paved with iron bars, and then there were smoking carts running on it." The Mongol scouts didn't know how to describe it, "The carts were very, very long, a dozen knots, and they were loaded with stuff. ”

"What?" Lin Dan Khan thought he had heard it wrong, was this telling a story? How could there be such a thing in this world?

But the information that came back was much the same, not because he had misheard, but because it had happened. The Ming army built a road that had never been seen before, and built a smoking car that could transport many things at once. The materials for building the city and fort were all brought from the gates.

"Keep investigating, and find out what that thing is for Ben Khan." Lin Dan Khan couldn't sit still a little, and immediately ordered.

Suddenly, a large number of Mongolian scouts were dispatched, so that a large number of Mongolian scouts appeared near the railway construction site of the Ming army, and the number was several times more than before.

A large number of Mongolian scouts were killed by Ming scouts, but they still couldn't stop the Mongols' determination to spy on the military, and there were always some fish that slipped through the net and approached in the dark.

The Mongol scouts suffered heavy losses, but they also brought back a lot of military information for Lin Dan Khan.

Lin Dan Khan finally knew that the Ming army had turned the steppe into a large construction site, with five sections of the road being built at the same time as railways, towns and forts.

At the same time, the Ming army was also equipped with a new type of musket, which had a very long range and terrifying power.

"Great Khan, we can't let these Ming people continue to build cities on the grassland. These castles of the Ming people were built too closely. Once they are finished, and with the kind of trains that can transport supplies in large quantities, we in Mongolia will never be at peace. ”

"Great Khan, we can't let the Ming people continue to build the city."

A group of Mongolian nobles had already fried the pot at this time, and anyone could see the intentions of the Ming army. They didn't plan to look for the main Mongol force everywhere in the steppe, but began to build a large-scale city on the steppe.

This is Mongolia's biggest weakness. Once the Ming army was able to gain a foothold in the steppe, the Mongols could not graze their cattle normally. What can't you eat for grazing?

With nothing to eat, can Mongolia continue to exist?

The move of the Ming army can be described as a seven-inch snake fight.

A very thorny problem is in front of Lin Dan Khan, if he goes to stop the Ming army from building the city, won't he bump into it and fight hard with the Ming army?

But where can Mongolia afford it?

The population of the Ming Kingdom is hundreds of millions! But Mongolia's population is less than two million.

Mongolia's threat to the Ming Dynasty, in the stage of its internal regime stability, is only the kind of entering the customs and looting, grabbing a vote and leaving.

"The Great Khan. Five Ming armies with a size of tens of thousands broke away from their main force and had penetrated deep into the grasslands. "At this time, someone from outside came in to report to Lin Dan Khan.

"Five armies of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom went deep into the grassland? How deep? Is it decentralized? Lin Dan Khan was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly asked.

"These five Ming tribes are very scattered, and they have penetrated hundreds of miles, and the tribes along the way have begun to move."

"It's too much to deceive people, these Ming people are really looking for death." Lin Dan Khan was furious and immediately ordered: "First follow Ben Khan to destroy these Ming troops." ”

Meat delivered to the mouth. How could Lin Dan Khan not eat.

Alone and unusually scattered. This is simply an opportunity for Lin Dan Khan to concentrate his superior forces and destroy it. Moreover, this group of Ming troops is still cavalry.

The arms that posed the greatest threat to the Mongols of the Ming army were, in the eyes of Lin Dan Khan, the cavalry of the Ming army. Well-armed, tenacious, and disciplined, it was terrifying.

The cavalry of the Ming army was only 100,000 people, and it was 50,000 cavalry.

If these cavalry can be destroyed, it is equivalent to cutting off the arms of the Ming army. Such a temptation. It's just hard to resist. Soon Lin Dan Khan bit the hook, gathered 300,000 troops, and began to encircle and suppress the five Ming troops that went deep into the grassland.

The news sent back by the scouts made Lin Dan Khan a little confused.

Those Ming cavalry were not equipped with armor or other armor at all, and their weapons were mainly muskets. But then my heart was on fire. It would be even more perfect if these Ming troops could be eliminated and their muskets captured, so that Mongolia also had this new type of musket.

Soon, Lin Dan Khan's army set its sights on one of the Ming troops, the 006th Division of the Central Army, and the 300,000-strong army directly surrounded it from all directions.

The scouts of the 006th Division quickly noticed the enemy's situation, and the commander of the 006th Division, Xu Jia, is also a veteran of the Central Army.

"What? Countless Mongol cavalry? When Xu Jia heard the reconnaissance information compiled by the General Staff, he didn't feel very good.

"Division commander, those Mongolian cavalry are indeed too numerous to count, there are a large number of Mongolian cavalry in each direction of the southeast, northwest and northwest, which have formed a pocket for us, maybe the pocket will be completely tied in half a day, and we will be completely surrounded." The staff officer replied.

"It's a big game this time." Xu Jia felt that the situation was a little out of control, but then he laughed, "Since it's too big, let's have a good time and see if the Mongols can't hold it first, or if we can't hold it." On my orders, immediately build fortifications in place. ”

"Yes, Commander."

The order was immediately conveyed, the Mongols were tightening the encirclement, and instead of immediately attacking the 006th Division, they gave the 006th Division the opportunity to build fortifications.

If the Mongols want to surround the 006 division, it is impossible to mess around, they must coordinate with each other. Once there is a gap, it is easy for the 006 Division to jump out of the encirclement.

Therefore, in order to complete the encirclement, Lin Dan Khan sent a large number of troops to make a flank detour, and a pocket had been formed, and the 006 Division was directly entrapped.

"Qi Qi Great Khan, we have surrounded the Ming army."

"So fast?"

"Those Ming people didn't run at all."

"Haha, did the Ming people give up?" Lin Dan Khan laughed, completely in his hands. 300,000 cavalry, 10,000 Ming troops wrapped dumplings, these Ming troops are completely boiled ducks.

"Continue to shrink the encirclement." Lin Dan Khan immediately ordered, and the 300,000 Mongol cavalry immediately began to move closer, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the Mongol cavalry became denser and denser. Normally, this Ming army is already difficult to fly.

The 006 Division led by Xu Jia really couldn't fly, so he simply didn't run. In half a day, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers quickly built a position on the grassland, and this position was only meandered by a small river, which could only provide fresh water for the Ming officers and soldiers.

As for the terrain such as big rivers and mountains, there is none.

The enemy could attack from all sides, but the officers and men of the 006th Division pulled out three barbed wire lines on the position. Two trenches were dug out, and digging continued.

The biggest problem with Division 006 is that they only carry 500,000 rounds of ammunition, including rifle cartridges, although rifle cartridges and machine gun cartridges can be used in common.

The Mongolian cavalry that surrounded them had at least two or three hundred thousand, and they definitely met the main force of the Mongols.

"Division commander, if we want to go back alive, we probably have to save some bullets." The staff said to Xu Jia, after all, the new equipment has just been put into production, and the output of bullets is limited, so the five infantry divisions that went deep into the grassland only brought 500,000 rounds of ammunition.

Xu Jia smiled: "What are you afraid of, if these Mongols want to fight us to the end, we are indeed dangerous, but after the death, they are also finished." Their living force is limited, and if the cost of the annihilation of our entire army is exchanged for the result of a heavy blow to the main Mongol force, they will also die a well-deserved death. What's more, we are soldiers, and it is our responsibility to serve the country and the nation, so we don't have to care too much about life and death. ”

has been in the army for many years, maybe he has seen too much death, and life and death have long been downplayed. It's not a question of whether you're afraid of death, it's a question of whether it's worth it.

"Divisional Commander!"

"Now that the fortifications are almost arranged, let people rest! Don't the Mongols haven't come yet, we're tired and lying down on our own. ”

"Yes. Teachers. ”

All the officers and men of the 006th Division quickly stopped digging operations and began to recharge their energy and wait for the Mongol attack. After Lin Dan Khan contracted the encirclement, he did not immediately launch a large-scale attack, but sent a cavalry of tens of thousands of people up and launched a tentative attack.

Lin Dan Khan has also accumulated a lot of combat experience over the years, especially after the defeat to Zhu Youxiao's personal conscription, he has fully learned the lesson of recklessness.

Of course, he was also scared by the Ming army.

"Put it up, aim and hit." On the Ming position, the machine gunners did not move at all, and a group of cavalry approached three hundred meters behind.

"Shoot!"

Bang bang bang......

A series of gunshots rang out, and the Ming officers and soldiers in the position aimed at the Mongolian cavalry with new rifles and shot at them, and the Mongolian cavalry was beaten a little dazed on the spot, and the firepower was really a bit strong.

More than 10,000 cavalrymen fell thousands in an instant under heavy rifle fire. Such a fierce firepower startled Lin Dan Khan, but then he laughed.

This group of Ming troops had no artillery, and although the firepower was fierce, the number was limited after all.
