Neiman personally went out to adopt a strategy of division and disintegration against the Mongol forces, and won the support of the Mongolian horse bandits and other centrists, who not only sent troops to help in the war, but also undertook the logistics of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

At the end of December, Neiman finally persuaded the pro-Soviet and centrist factions among the Mongol powers to obtain a decision to form a coalition army to conquer the Chechen tribes by an overwhelming vote at a voting meeting in the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, the Chechen Khan, under the command of Shubutai, had also done a good job of pre-war mobilization from house to house, the dispatch army led by Timur also returned after resting, and the Mongol tribes of Saiyin Shanda also gathered 4,000 Mongolian troops to go north to help in the war.

The Mongol army of the Chechen Khan was 10,000, the Mongol army of Saiyinshanda was 4,000, and the servant army of the Outer Mongolian Dispatch Army went around Siberia and then grew to 12,000 people and was also pulled to the battlefield.

Timur's 15,000 men, another 2,000 monks, and 20,000 horses from the Shubu Tai also gathered near Khan Urg in Chechnya.

War between the two sides is inevitable.

In terms of troops, the Outer Mongolian Army is twice as large as the Soviet-Mongolian Eastern Expeditionary Army, but the modern war is not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of weapons. Although Zhao Yun has selfless help, the weapons and equipment of 10,000 people are not achieved overnight.

As for the Soviet-Mongolian Eastern Expeditionary Army, needless to say, the weapons of the Soviet-Russian army in the Soviet-Mongolian Eastern Crusade Corps, which received the help of the Siberian Military District, are all modern weapons, and only half of the Mongolian People's Army has rifles and other weapons, and half of them are equipped with flintlock muskets and bows and arrows.

In the Outer Mongolian Legion, there were only 4,000 men under Timur and Shubutai, who were equipped with submachine guns and rifles, and the rest were all medieval weapons.

The Mongol armies of the Chechen Khan and Saiyin Shanda were no better, because they had a history of rebellion and other convictions, so they led to the lag in updating their weapons, and now only a third of the tribes have gained the trust of Timur, and issued rifles, not even machine guns, and the rest still have flintlock muskets and bows and arrows in their hands. However, the "Unicorn" and other weapons that they can make themselves can be equipped with all of them in this battle. Timur and others, who were worried that there was too much difference in weapons, secretly said "okay" when they saw that the situation of the People's Party army on the opposite side was similar, otherwise this battle would not have been fought.

Half of the servant troops collected from all over the country had been issued with rifles, and they were the highest in proportion to their rifles.

In terms of transportation, due to Timur's previous painstaking management in Outer Mongolia, he traded a large amount of tea and salt in exchange for herds of horses.

There were probably only seven or eight thousand men on Timur's side who did not have horses, and the others were equipped with war horses. It should be said that the other party is incomparable in this regard, if the other side has more cavalry than this side, Zhao Yun must be the first person to give Timur the order to retreat.

This is a family belongings that I have saved up with great difficulty, and if I don't want to fight a battle, then there will be nothing.

But the Soviet-Mongolian forces also had their own advantages, such as artillery! Thirteen artillery pieces, most of which are small-caliber field guns, but there are not many shells, which were used a lot in the previous battles with the White Russian army, and this half a year has not stopped, and the east and west have to put two cannons in the various tribes of Outer Mongolia to show the strength of the Soviet Russian army, so the number of shells is now less than a base.

The army of the Eastern Crusade set off on schedule, but tens of thousands of horses could not go far in a single day.

Before that, Neiman made full use of the advantages of the strong mobility of the Russian cavalry, commanded a small army to invade the Chechen tribes scattered on the steppe and other pro-Chechen tribes several times, crisscrossing the eastern steppe, burning the pasture for winter, and killing cattle, sheep and livestock, with the aim of destroying the local economic production, forcing more innocent herdsmen to take refuge in the Chechen Ministry, dragging down the Chechen Ministry's weak savings, and forcing the Chechen Ministry.

Of course, if it was in previous years, Neiman's move would definitely be able to create a lot of trouble for the Chechen Khan, and if he did not rein in these herdsmen, it would affect the reputation of the Chechen Khan. If they were to be reined in their huge pasture expenditures, they would also be able to wipe out all the poor savings of the Chechen Ministry, after all, the Chechen Ministry, after all, was only a large steppe tribe.

After the army set off and before the troops arrived in the city, Neyman also sent a Mongol prince who was a friend of the Chechen Khan to Urge, Chechnya, to persuade the Chechen Khan to surrender and propose quite favorable armistice conditions.

In the face of Neyman's aggressive strategic posture, the Chechen army disappeared from the steppe, and even a small force of harassing cavalry disappeared.

When Neyman crossed the Krulun River, the sentinels in front came to report that the Chechen army had also been dispatched.

Neiman dragged over a map, pointed to a place with his horsewhip and asked, "Is that there?" ”

The Mongol general on the side immediately replied, "This is Zargrad Khan!" ”

"How's the terrain there?"

"Zargrad Khan is a small city, but it is located on an artery of transportation, with hills to the west and northwest, and plains to the east."

Neiman smiled, "It seems that my opponent has chosen this as the main battlefield of our two armies." ”

The brigade commander Ivanov beside him asked the sentry cavalry other matters, and then said solemnly, "The terrain to the west of Zargrad Khan is narrow and undulating, which is very unfavorable to cavalry activities, and the Chechen Khan chose the plains in the east as the decisive battle site, it seems that he intends to give full play to the mobility of the Mongol cavalry." ”

"Yes, we must strike quickly, cross the hills on the east bank of the river, take the city, and then build a large camp on the left and right outside the city of Zargrad Khan, and line up along the city to rest and wait." Neiman said triumphantly.

In early January 1922, troops from 24 Eastern Mongolian tribes set out from their steppe pastures, converged at Urg, Chechnya, and then advanced towards Zargrad Khan.

The scale of the build-up of the Outer Mongolian army this time was unprecedented, with a total of more than 60,000 people, including probably all the young and middle-aged men in eastern Outer Mongolia who could go to the battlefield.

Timur, the most vocal Chechen minister, was elected commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

Timur's army was divided into three routes, with the Chechen Khan's 10,000 men and Timur's headquarters of 17,000 men forming the central army, a total of 27,000 men.

The 12,000 servants on the left flank, 4,000 men from Sainsanda, and more than 4,000 men from the eastern tribes were pulled out, totaling 20,000 men.

The right wing is the headquarters of the book department, with 20,000 people.

The Chechen Khan sat in Urge, Chechnya, and was responsible for managing the grain and grass of the various armies. Of course, Zhao Yun also arranged 20,000 troops transferred from the Outer Mongolian camp in the city to prevent the unfavorable situation that would occur after the defeat of the field troops.

At the same time, they also actively rioted in the Outer Mongolia camp, and sent out 40,000 horses to respond.

Why did Zhao Yun do so much is a hindrance, to be honest, this is completely due to the influence of Lao Maozi's later generations.

60,007 vs. 20,008, can you eat this old hair? Zhao Yun actually has no confidence in his heart, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although he is not convinced, but Lao Maozi's strength is very good. This will be their civil war in the country, so the national strength has been greatly damaged, Zhao Yun dared to give them a cold breath, if their national strength was strong, Zhao Yun would not dare to provoke them.

And the Mongolian People's Party Army, which was armed with Soviet and Russian ideology, did not fight a battle, otherwise the Japanese would not have been beaten by the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army in Nomenhan.

For a nation like Mongolia, where all the people are soldiers and can develop into a professional army with a little training, Zhao Yun does not dare to take it lightly. In particular, the two strongest teams of the Mongolian People's Army, Xie Jingjin Detachment and Choibalshan Detachment both participated in this time.

Two left and right cavalry regiments, plus the Chinese army, 67,000 men and horses, covered the flat banks of the Kruren River with black pressure.

The left wing doesn't care, just look at the right wing, so many people and horses gathered together, except for the neighing of the war horses, but there is no noise, dark black armor, dark black flags, evil spirits, a fierce spirit, spread in the grassland.

Being in such an environment is the most exciting thing to get your blood boiling. The servant army and the Eastern Mongolian tribal army were also infected by the atmosphere of the Shubu Taiwan Legion, and gradually learned from the Shubu Taiwan Legion.

Neiman stood on a high place and raised his binoculars to look, the other party's legion, the appearance of the army is neat, the life is rare, the flag is neat, the hat and helmet are neat, in addition to being neat or neat, just a glance makes people know that this is a team with steel discipline.

Glancing back at the stray team behind him, a bitter taste spread in Neiman's mouth.

"Divisional commander! The number of people on the other side is 20,000 more than we expected in the end, and the number is about 60,000. "The 35th Infantry Division, which had been working day and night, finally reached Zargrad Khan, but the Mongolian People's Army brought them head-on news.

Looking at the black pressure in the distance opposite, Neiman teased, "Why are you afraid?" Didn't you still say that there were 300,000? ”

All the generals around him were laughing.

The Mongol general, who came to report the news, continued at an inopportune time, "On the flanks of the enemy, there are 5 or 6 thousand more infantry than the intelligence, and there is a mixed team of 20,000 infantry and cavalry, I don't know where it came from? ”

Neiman shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, a sheep was a herd, and a flock of sheep was a herd.

Neiman's relaxed attitude infected everyone around him, and both the Russian and Mongolian generals expressed great confidence in the expedition. But when no one was around, Neiman muttered, "Damn the intelligence guys, they're just a bunch of rice buckets!" I can't even find out the number of opponents, and I'm still playing a ball! ”
