Xue Yu asked, "Okay, as long as you can fight horse bandits, you can eat my pigeons." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "How many pigeons do you have?" Where are they flying? ”

Xue Yu said: "There are thirty-two in total, sixteen of them flew to the Wild Wolf King and the Black Sandstorm, and the horse bandits also opened eight contact points to inquire about the caravans entering the desert, and there are two in each of these places. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, you can release these pigeons out of the lake in a while, and let them fly to their respective places, okay?" ”

Xue Yu asked, "But what do you want them to do?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Soon you will understand." Lin Yuan picked up the communicator and said, "Special Staff?" Bring me thirty-two radiolocators, miniature ones, and I'm going to use them on pigeons. ”

After hearing this, Su Yunzhen asked, "Radiolocator?" What's that? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "To put it simply, if I put it in something, I will be able to know where that thing is, so I can use it to find the location of the horse bandits, and I can also find the contact points of the horse bandits." ”

Soon someone sent the radiolocator over, the radiolocator was only the size of a grain of rice, and it needed to be put under the skin of the pigeon, so it was necessary to use a knife to cut a small cut on the pigeon, of course the pigeon was unwilling, and fluttered its wings vigorously, "cooing" and screaming, as if asking Xue Yu for help, Xue Yu cried out all of a sudden, Lin Yuan hurriedly asked Su Yunzhen to take Xue Yu out of the body.

In fact, the skin of the pigeon is not very sensitive, put something the size of a grain of rice under the skin, and the pigeon will only feel a little pain when the skin is cut, and there will be no feeling when the radiolocator is installed, and when the installation is completed, Lin Yuan let Xue Yu in, Xue Yu saw that the pigeons were all alive, and then broke into laughter.

Xue Yu released the pigeons, and Lin Yuan knew that when the pigeons flew to their destination, it was the time when the horse bandits were finished! Lin Yuan came down from the cottage, and Xiao Yingwu also counted the results of the battle, killing 1,017 horse bandits, capturing 29 people, and no casualties among his own troops, and capturing more than 500 rifles and more than 200,000 taels of silver.

Lin Yuan knew that these things were inconvenient, so he asked them to bury them on the spot, and then take them away when the follow-up troops came, and then instructed Xiao Yingwu to tell the soldiers that this was just a small training, and the difficulty was not as difficult as the exercise, so everyone was asked not to be proud, and the Russian Cossack cavalry was much more difficult to deal with than these horse bandits.

Lin Yuan also ordered people to separate the ten rescued girls from those fellow villagers, because those fellow villagers had already regarded the girls as enemies, Lin Yuan knew that it was impossible for everyone to be very sensible, and it was better to separate the girls from the old people.

Lin Yuan looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning on September 16, Lin Yuan ordered the troops to rest for a day immediately, set off at two o'clock in the morning on September 17, and continued to Kulun, at this time there were nearly five hundred kilometers away from Kulun, and there were many merchants on the road, fortunately there was the royal banner of the prince of Xilin Gol League, so the businessmen did not treat Lin Yuan's troops as monsters.

What surprised Lin Yuan was that the vast majority of people who met Lu on the road, including Han merchants and Mongolian herdsmen, did not know that Lu Daozhe did not respect Danba and had declared independence, it turned out that the communication of this era was extremely backward, and the local government of Mongolia was not like the mainland, there were county yafu in the interior, and the people lived very centrally.

But Mongolia is different, the herdsmen are very scattered, and they are still moving from time to time, so there is no way to notify such a thing, so Lin Yuan took advantage of the opportunity that the herdsmen did not understand the situation, and focused the contradictions on the Russians, and he asked people to tell the Mongolian herdsmen that the Russians controlled Zhebuzun Danba, and forced him to establish the Great Mongolian Empire, which was out of the jurisdiction of the Qing court.

On the evening of September 17th, Lin Yuan's department came to a city called Hashatu, which is a relatively large city, Lin Yuan also stocked up on supplies in the business here, Lin Yuan planned to settle the old people and girls here, waiting for the follow-up troops, and the fuel reserves of the troops were relatively small, so they needed to take out the fuel in the business name in the city and use it.

However, Lin Yuan did not order the troops to enter the city, because the city was full of pro-Russian separatist forces, and there was a telegraph line connected to Kulun, Lin Yuan was worried that the people in the city would inform Kulun, so he took Zaheer, disguised as a merchant doing business, and entered the city.

Lin Yuan and Zaheer went into the city to find Da Shengkui's business, and on the way Zaheer asked Lin Yuan: "Lin Shuai, I don't think there is any movement in this city?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Movement?" What should happen? ”

Zaheer said: "Since the establishment of the Great Mongol Empire was announced, then they must be prepared to be attacked by the Qing court, but this city is peaceful, and there is no intention of conscripting troops to prepare for war. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "This is the consequence of our long-distance raid, those people don't believe that we have such a fast mobility ability, it only took a few days to reach their noses, and they don't believe that we can send troops so covertly, they think that as soon as we send troops, they will know the way, because there are a lot of things that need to be prepared for an expedition, first of all, food." ”

"The expedition to Kulen requires the preparation of a large number of troops, the need to prepare a large amount of food, the transportation of this grain requires the preparation of a large number of horses, and these horses have to eat forage on the road, so we have to do a lot of preparations, so there is no way to keep it secret, as long as we have the intention of sending troops, Kulen will know the way."

"But what they don't know is that I have put supplies in the shops along the way in advance, so that we don't have to prepare food in advance, and our march is extremely fast, and we don't consume physical strength when we move, and we consume very little food, and we consume a lot of diesel, but they don't know what diesel fuel is."

"But we have already told the herders what we are here for, what if they report it?" Zaheer said. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's okay, they can report it, our ability is really amazing, so the people in power in Kulun may not believe it, the relationship between the herdsmen and the officials is also average, I don't think they will take the initiative to report, and," Lin Yuan said and pointed to the peaceful and peaceful scene in front of him, and said: "This scene has explained everything, no one has reported it at all." ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he led Zaheer to Da Shengkui's business, and as he walked, Lin Yuan said to Zaheer: "Your expression is relaxed, you don't have to stare at those patrolling soldiers for so long, we are not thieves." ”

Zaheer smiled embarrassedly, and at this moment, Lin Yuan saw that there were many soldiers standing at the door of Da Shengkui's business, and those soldiers were all holding sabers, obviously Mongolian cavalry.

Lin Yuan frowned, and thought to himself, "What are these soldiers doing when they surround Da Shengkui?" Did they already know about my material preparation plan? ”

Lin Yuan looked inside while thinking, and saw dozens of soldiers coming out of it, each carrying a big bag on their shoulders, Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought, "Are they going to take away all the supplies I have stored?" ”
