815 The Last Pursuit
The plundering artillery chariots rushed left and right in the Tuvan cavalry formation, and the Tuvan cavalry was in chaos for a while, and some Tuvan cavalry fled far away in order to avoid the plundering artillery chariots, and at this time, the Inner Mongolian cavalry rushed up.
The cavalry of Inner Mongolia is also good at fighting with sabers, because they are originally good at fighting with sabers, and after Lin Fei formed this army, he found martial arts instructors from the main land of China and conducted special training on their fighting skills.
The reason why Lin Fei wanted to train the fighting skills of the Inner Mongolian cavalry was mainly because for the Inner Mongolian cavalry, the saber was more effective than the gun, because the places where the Inner Mongolian cavalry needed to be used were mainly Mongolia and Siberia, and the enemies here were either the Russian army with extremely poor equipment, or the natives who had never seen a gun, and it was much cheaper to kill them with a saber than with a gun.
The fighting technique of the cavalry in Inner Mongolia is not uniform, take the "knife on horse" as an example, the so-called "knife on horse" refers to the first knife used by the cavalry in front of the enemy after high-speed impact, this knife is the most lethal.
Some Inner Mongolian cavalry like to raise their sabers high and swing their knives when they encounter the enemy, and some Inner Mongolian cavalry like to put their knives on their sides, and raise their knives upwards when they encounter the enemy, and cut them together with their horses and people.
The martial arts instructors found that all kinds of sword techniques had their advantages, so they were not forcibly unified, and the martial arts instructors only trained the Inner Mongolian cavalry in terms of strength and flexibility, so that their fighting skills were stronger than before.
After training, the Inner Mongolia cavalry is obviously stronger than the Tuva cavalry, and the Inner Mongolia cavalry is tactical, the Tuva cavalry was killed by the fire of sudden invasion and plunder, and the personnel were scattered, so the Inner Mongolia cavalry adopted the tactics of "fighting more and fighting less", in the fight, often one person attracts the opponent's attention in the front, and the other person attacks from the side, directly stabbing the ribs, the blade grabs the ribs in, and the heart and lungs are all cut off with a knife, and the person who is stabbed is killed on the spot.
After fighting for a while, the Tuvan cavalry was obviously not the opponent of the Inner Mongolian cavalry, so the Tuvan cavalry remembered to use a bow and arrow, and the Tuvan cavalry rode away, widening the distance with the Inner Mongolian cavalry, and then fired arrows at the Inner Mongolian cavalry.
The cavalry of Inner Mongolia saw the Tuvan cavalry shooting arrows and smiled, because they had guns, and money was much more powerful than bows and arrows, and in close combat, guns were not as good as sabers, and now that the distance is widened, the situation is different.
The Inner Mongolian cavalry fired one after another, the horses were bumpy, it was difficult to aim, and the Inner Mongolian cavalry did not aim, and shot directly into the Tuvan cavalry cluster, anyway, there were many people who shot, and the number of bullets was enough, and there was always something that could hit the Tuvan cavalry.
The arrows of the Tuvan cavalry could not hit the Inner Mongolian cavalry, but the bullets of the Inner Mongolian cavalry could hit the Tuvan cavalry, and the Tuvan cavalry suffered heavy casualties for a while.
The situation on the battlefield has been clear, the Tuva cavalry is not at all the opponent of the Inner Mongolian cavalry and the invasion of the fire, the Golden Sun Khan knew that if he continued to fight, his people would be annihilated, so the Golden Sun Khan ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
Golden Sun Khan's twenty heralds took out the horn and sounded the horn of retreat, Golden Sun Khan was a capable commander who already knew how to use his voice to deliver messages.
When the Tuvan cavalry heard the retreat horn, they immediately retreated, and Luo Zheng was worried that he would be ambushed by the Golden Sun Khan's receiving troops, so he did not order a pursuit, but ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield and count the results and losses.
The results and losses of the battle soon came out, and a total of more than 20,000 enemies were killed, more than 3,000 were captured, 726 of their own troops were killed, and more than 1,000 were wounded.
Luo Zheng was quite satisfied, although there were more than 1,700 casualties, but this was a war, and casualties were inevitable.
Before the war was launched, Lin Fei had instructed Luo Zheng that the Golden Sun Khan was the core of the Tuva tribe, and if he didn't catch the Golden Sun Khan, there would be endless troubles.
In the vast prairie, where to find the golden sun sweat? Luo Zheng thought of those prisoners of war, Golden Sun Khan is a patriarch with considerable military talent, and he will definitely arrange the locations in advance, and the prisoners of war must know the location of these stations.
Luo Zheng asked the prisoners of war to interrogate, and the prisoners of war replied one after another, next to a big river called "Chiagos", Luo Zheng hurriedly found a guide and asked about this big river called "Chiagos", and the guides said that they knew the river, rode the fastest horse, and walked all the way north, and they could arrive in one day.
The herdsmen on the grassland do not have the concept of "kilometers, kilometers" such weights and measures, and when expressing long distances, they often use "how long does a fast horse run", Luo Zheng asked his subordinates to roughly convert, the river is about 80 kilometers away from here.
At a distance of 80 kilometers, it takes about three hours for artillery chariot transporters and about 12 hours for the Inner Mongolian cavalry (horses are slower than cars), Luo Zheng was worried that if the armored troops broke through, they would fall into the encirclement of the enemy, so he slowed down the march and let the Inner Mongolian cavalry and the 3rd armored division go to the Qiyagus River together.
Luo Zheng led the troops to rest for the night, and at dawn, the 3rd Division of Inner Mongolia, as a backup force, joined Luo Zheng's department, they took most of the prisoners of war away, and only set up more than 100 officers and prisoners of war, Luo Zheng would ask them about the situation of the Golden Sun Khan at any time, and also took away all the wounded and the corpses of the sacrificed soldiers.
However, what made Luo Zheng dissatisfied was that the ammunition supply did not come too much, and all the invasion fires could only be equipped with 0.5 base ammunition, whether to continue to march, Luo Zheng was a little hesitant, but Luo Zheng thought about it, he should still march, if the time dragged on for too long, the Golden Sun Khan would flee without a trace.
As for the lack of ammunition for the Fire of Raid, it doesn't matter, anyway, the troops of the Golden Sun Khan do not have advanced weapons.
Luo Zheng then ordered his troops to march towards the Chiagus River, and found a large number of tents and clothes along the way, which were obviously thrown away by the Golden Sun Khan, indicating that the Golden Sun Khan retreated along this road, which increased Luo Zheng's confidence in chasing and destroying the Golden Sun Khan.
Luo Zheng was influenced by Lin Fei and was cautious in his use of troops, so he sent a detachment of scouts, riding fast horses, walking in the front to inform the enemy of the situation at any time.
After a day passed, the cavalry reconnaissance detachment came back and told Luo Zheng: "We have found the main force of the Golden Sun Khan, on the south bank of the Chiagus River, that is, on our side, they have not crossed the river. ”
Luo Zheng hurriedly asked: "Can you be sure that it is the main force of the Golden Sun Khan?" ”
"It can be determined that, firstly, there are tents and banners of the Golden Sun Khan in the camp, and second, the number of tents matches the remaining number of enemy troops."
Luo Zheng nodded lightly, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and ordered: "Go, take me to reconnoiter in person." ”
Luo Zheng took more than a dozen guards, rode his horse to a high slope, and looked into the distance, and there was indeed a camp in the distance, the smoke curled in the camp, and in the middle position, the largest and most gorgeous tent was particularly eye-catching, which was the handsome tent of the Golden Sun Khan.
Luo Zheng was worried that Golden Sun Khan was using a suspicious tactic and deliberately set up this camp, thinking that it was a bait to lure him to attack, so he ordered the scouts to reconnoiter in the distance to see if there were any Tuvan cavalry.
The scout took the order, and after half a day, he came back and told Luo Zheng that there were no Tuva cavalry for more than ten kilometers nearby.
After listening to the report, Luo Zheng suddenly frowned, and said "not good", and his subordinates hurriedly asked, "Commander, what did you think of?" ”
Luo Zheng replied thoughtfully: "Since there are no ambushes around, how can Golden Sun Khan dare to blatantly station here, isn't he afraid of our attack?" ”
As soon as Luo Zheng said this, everyone understood, yes, why did Golden Sun Khan stop, he should have been running away, everyone turned their heads and talked about it.
Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Don't talk about it in private, if you have anything to say, say it and listen to it." ”
A staff officer said: "Commander, I think the reason why Golden Sun Khan stopped was entirely because of insufficient supplies and did not dare to run away again, and we also saw a lot of carts pulling grain along the way, and they must have been very panicked when they fled and did not take food with them." ”
Luo Zheng nodded lightly and asked, "What else do you think?" ”
Another staff officer stood up and said: "Since the Golden Sun Khan has no ambush and has not fled, he is already a turtle in an urn, I think we can send an envoy to persuade him to surrender." ”
Luo Zheng smiled with satisfaction and ordered: "Find one of the biggest officials among the prisoners of war and ask him to persuade the Golden Sun Khan to surrender." ”
The subordinates followed the order, found a prisoner of war officer, and went to the camp of Golden Sun Khan, and after more than two hours, the prisoner of war officer came back and told Luo Zheng that Golden Sun Khan refused to surrender.
The prisoner of war officer did not come back on his own, but also brought back a Russian, who looked only in his twenties and was still childish, but told Luo Zheng that he was a Russian envoy.
Luo Zheng smiled and asked the Russian envoy: "What do you want to say when you come to see me?" ”
"I'm here to tell you that you can't attack the Golden Sun Khan's barracks."
Luo Zheng laughed loudly, "You little guy is really funny, if you don't let me attack me, I won't attack, why should I listen to you." ”
In the command headquarters, not only Luo Zheng was laughing, but all the staff officers were laughing, but I didn't expect the Russian envoy to roar like a bell, "Whatever you laugh at, shut up for me." "There was silence in the command.
