Lin Yuan said with a smile: "What you said is really good, when catching them, some soldiers said that they would fight horses, I said that it would definitely be useful to keep those horses, and now it really comes in handy, I didn't originally want to send people to attack their convoy, but now when I hear you say this, I will lure the enemy deeper, let them enter Mongolia, and then send people to cut off their grain routes!" ”

Zaheer said: "Lin Shuai, you have done too right, capturing the enemy's war horse is also a very useful thing, I will go and take a good look at the enemy's war horse now, and see if I can find anything more." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Don't be in a hurry to see the war horse, go and pick a knife with me, and pick out fifty of the best knives for me." ”

Zaheer asked, "Lin Shuai, with all due respect, your subordinates' guns are a hundred times better than knives, why do you have to pick out fifty of the best sabers?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Of course I didn't use it for myself, you know the dragon horses and tiger guard horses outside the city, although I control their high-level officers, but the middle and lower-level officers are still a little wavering, so I want to fight for them, since I want to win them, I thought of the way to send them things, just send money, but also send some things they like, I thought of the sabre." ”

Zaheer exclaimed: "Lin Shuai did so right, how many people who live on horseback don't like swords?" ”

Zaheer quickly went to pick out fifty of the best sabers from the seized things, Lin Yuan said: "The biggest remaining officials of the Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger Guard Cavalry are the battalion commanders, I originally wanted to invite them to us, but they were afraid that I would take the opportunity to harm them, so no one would come, since they refused to come, then I will go over, just right, you take these knives and go with me." ”

Zaheer exclaimed, "What? Just the two of us? There are 10,000 people in each of the Dragon Riders and Tiger Guard Riders! ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't be afraid, what about 100,000 people?" They will not dare to touch us, and their masters are now under my control, so what good will they do to harm me? In this way, let's hurry up, you hurry up and get a carriage, let's go to Longxiang first, the Russians are coming, and I want them to help me fight the Russians. ”

Zaheer didn't say more, found a few retinues, picked up a few carriages, and went to the Longxiang cavalry camp outside the city, the nearest is the avant-garde battalion, which is the one that Lin Yuan used the cover of smoke bombs to bypass, the sentinels of the avant-garde battalion saw Lin Yuan and came up to interrogate, Lin Yuan smiled and took out a letter of appointment, which had the big seal of Zhebuzun Danba, which read: Lin Yuan is now appointed as the commander of the Longxiang cavalry and the tiger guard cavalry.

Lin Yuan handed the letter of appointment to the sentry and smiled at him, "Give this to your battalion commander." The sentry didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went in, and soon the battalion commander came out to welcome Lin Yuan in, Lin Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and said to the battalion commander: "I won't say anything else, the Russians will come in a few days, I want you to help me fight the Russians, follow me, and your benefits are indispensable." ”

The battalion commander was embarrassed, and Lin Yuan said: "Don't worry, I won't let you fight head-to-head with the ** son, you just need to help us stabilize the rear." ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he took out the saber, the battalion commander was very happy to see it, Lin Yuan asked people to take out a thousand taels of silver as a reward, and the rest of the military attaches were also rewarded, Lin Yuan got rid of the avant-garde battalion, and went to other camps, and it took a day to deal with these things, and it was already late at night when he returned to Kulen.

The next day, on September 23, someone knocked on Lin Yuan's door early in the morning, Lin Yuan got up and saw that it was a staff officer of the Special Staff Department, Lin Yuan saw his anxious appearance, and knew that something big must have happened, Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

The staff officer said: "According to our aerial reconnaissance, the Russian troops stationed in the upper reaches of the Seguge River left the camp and went south along the Hara River to Kulen, with about fifteen thousand people. ”

Lin Yuan thought excitedly, "Great, they're finally here." Lin Yuan looked at their station, and thought about Shetley's words again, the person who knew that the person who came was Shetley's troops, the 15th Cossack Cavalry Division, because the number of people could only be roughly estimated on the aerial pictures, so Lin Yuan was not sure if they were from the whole formation, and whether the Adkins was also among them.

Lin Yuan immediately came to the command headquarters, gathered everyone together, and informed everyone of the situation, everyone was very happy, Lin Yuan said: "According to my intelligence, the commanders of this group of Russian troops are very talented, and everyone must not take it lightly." ”

At this time, another piece of intelligence was sent: another Russian cavalry unit moved south along the Iru River and headed for Kulen, located on the right flank of the 15th Division, with a number of about 15,000, and the specific number is not yet known.

Lin Yuan smiled when he saw this information and said, "Do you believe it or not? In a moment, there must have been information coming, and there must have been another cavalry unit moving south along the Erkun River to Kulen, on the left flank of the Fifteenth Division. ”

Everyone was skeptical, and after ten minutes, another piece of such information was sent, Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The Russians are marching in three ways, and the three roads take care of each other and rely on each other, and they need water in the process of marching, so the Russian army chooses to march where there is water." ”

Lin Yuan took a map and compared it to it: "Now there are three Russian troops, and the frontal width is about 200 kilometers, how can we fight?" ”

A staff officer said: "The Russian army marches on three routes, and it seems that the three routes rely on each other, but their means of communication are backward, so it is actually difficult to rely on the three routes, so we might as well break them individually!" ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, we'll use this kind of dispatch to break each one!" Lin Yuan pointed on the map and said: "Look at this place, Boronor, according to the speed of movement of the enemy in the middle lane, it will arrive at this place in about three days, and we will arrive here, it only takes one day, we will arrive here in advance, the Russians don't know our movements at all, so they will not be guarded, and when the large forces of the Russian army arrive, we will completely destroy them!" ”

Xiao Yingwu asked, "Then how many troops do we use?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I have to bring the two tank battalions and the infantry battalion, as well as the Heavenly Imperial Legion, I need them to cooperate with the action." ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "Then isn't our Kulun's defense empty, if the Dragon Xiang Tiger Guard Horse has the meaning of anti-water, we will be in trouble." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, our first division has already entered Outer Mongolia, the reason why they are moving slowly is because I asked them to do a lot of propaganda work, and now that the battle situation is urgent, I will let them come at full speed, they are already motorized troops, if you speed up, you will definitely be able to arrive in one day." ”

Xiao Yingwu nodded and said, "It's good to have them." ”

After Lin Yuan deployed all kinds of things, he went to the Tianyu Corps, told them to go to Boronorr first, and he would arrive later, and then notified the first division to speed up the march, a day later, on September 24, the first division rushed to Kulen, Lin Yuan immediately set off in the early morning of September 25th, and rushed to Boronorr in the early morning of September 26th, at this time, the fifteenth division of the Russian army in the middle of the road was only less than half a day's journey away from Bolonor!
