Mobei, now whether it is the Rakshasa soldiers or the Ming army, they have fallen into silence.

Originally, Cherkov thought that his 50,000 elites could be crushed all the way, and the troops could be directly advanced to Monan, and even entered near the Great Wall, but when he arrived in the direction of Mobei, he knew that the Ming army and the Mongolian cavalry were far from being as easy to deal with as imagined, maybe these Mongolian cavalry and even the new town of Manmeng were not the opponents of the Rakshasa army, but a month after the capture of Weihuo City, the situation changed, and the third town of the Tianwei Army arrived, which made the combat power of the Ming army directly rise to a level, and Cherkiv wanted to quickly defeat the Ming army. It's definitely not that easy.

In particular, the soldiers of the third town plus the Mongolian cavalry plus the new town of Manmeng, the strength of the Ming army is almost the same as that of the Rakshasa army, although the overall combat strength is still a certain gap with the Rakshasa army, but self-protection can still be maintained.

Song Jiaxing is delicate, brave and strategic, and has a keen insight into the battlefield situation, he knows very well that three months, this is the time he must hold on, three months later, the main force of the Tianwei army will inevitably arrive in Mobei, at that time is the time to counterattack, now he can maintain the weak balance of power on the battlefield is already a victory, as long as his army is still there, then the Rakshasa army will not dare to unscrupulously rampant towards the hinterland of Mobei.

Song Jiaxing decisively ordered the army to retreat from Erdenet, and at the same time ordered all the departments of Mobei to retreat to the south of Kulun, all of them moved to the south of Kulun, and the walls were clear, leaving no grain and cattle and sheep for the Rakshasa soldiers.

Song Jiaxing's move is very effective, and now the Rakshasa cavalry has been dispatched to loot everywhere, but don't say that you can see the tribes of the Mongolian tribes, and you can't even see a cow, what to rob? As for plundering in a more difficult direction, the cavalry of Mobei and the Tianwei Army are not vegetarians, and the two Rakshasa cavalry were killed by the cavalry of the Tianwei Army one after another, and the Rakshasa cavalry no longer dared to go deep alone.

The food in Weihuo City was quickly consumed, and it could only rely on supplies from the rear, and the Rakshasa army was also in trouble.

Chernkov is very worried, if he can't break into the Central Plains, loot on a large scale, and withdraw his troops like this, there is no doubt that this war launched by His Majesty the Tsar will be completely lost, you know, in order to launch this war, the Tsar has invested in blood, mobilized more than half of the elite troops of the Rakshasa country, and invested more than three million taels of silver in military spending.

But moving forward, there is a lack of troops, this Ming Empire is different from Western countries, Western countries do not have many armies, they are powerful navy, a Western power now has a total of only tens of thousands of troops, the most are not more than 100,000 people, the mobile force that can be used for battle on weekdays, but tens of thousands, if the Rakshasa soldiers annihilate the Western opponent of one or two thousand people, then the country will no longer have the strength to fight back, but what about the Ming Empire, annihilated the eight thousand elite main forces of the Ming Empire in one go, as a result, People easily gathered another 40,000 or 50,000 troops, this is still the strength of the Ming Empire's Tianwei Army and the Tianxiong Army without showing up, the entire northern Ming Empire, I heard that the Tianwei Army has reached 150,000 people, and they only have tens of thousands of troops, even if they come out, they are not sure of victory!

An army invades the city of Kulen? Now there are tens of thousands of troops in Kulen City, even if most of them are Mongolian cavalry, but they are definitely not to be underestimated, and they cannot be easily defeated.

If you want to be able to make a difference, you must increase your troops, and there is only one way to increase your troops, and then a large army will advance to the southeast and enter the plain outside the Guanwai; The other large army continued to advance southward, crossing the Mongolian plateau into the Central Plains, so that the Ming army took care of one thing and the other, and the order to ask for reinforcements from the rear had been transmitted back for more than a month, presumably the army had already set off.

However, if you want to increase the number of troops by at least 30,000, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve, for Kazan, the supply pressure is too great, and the front reaches 80,000 people, which means that the rear will have to transport at least 400,000 catties of grain and 400,000 catties of horse material to the direction of Weihuo City every day. The huge Tsarist Russia can be supplied, but not to mention, the war that lasts for a year alone will consume hundreds of millions of catties of grain and hundreds of millions of catties of horse material in Tsarist Russia, even Tsarist Russia cannot afford it!

Quick victory, this is the most critical strategy that Chernkov is thinking about now, a quick battle, to fight to support the war, relying on the supplies of the rear alone, I only hope that the army in the rear can arrive in time, even if there are only 10,000 troops coming, then I am sure that I can forcibly launch an attack on Kulen City, and take Kulen City in one fell swoop, this is after all the royal city of Mobei Mongolia, hundreds of years of savings, the wealth will not be too small, enough to make a fortune.

The two sides fell into a short silence, each waiting for the arrival of reinforcements in the rear, Xu Yifan's army carried a large number of artillery, and mainly infantry, the speed was naturally not too fast, and it was impossible to catch up in a short time.

However, Qin Mufeng's speed was really fast, the cavalry of the Tianwei Army were all one person and two horses, advancing in turns, marching more than one hundred and twenty miles a day, and a month and a half later, under the guidance of the Monan cavalry, they came to the west side of the Mobei border, almost more than three hundred miles away from Weihuo City.

At this time, the Central Plains entered the late autumn, as for Mobei, it had already begun to freeze, fortunately, the Mongols naturally had a way to keep out the cold, tents were set up to avoid the wind and sand of the desert, and a team of cavalry was sent out to listen to the news everywhere.

Soon, the transport team of the Rakshasa country was found traces, in order to be able to supply the grain and grass of Weihuo City in time, every half a month, Kazan City will send more than two million catties of grain to Weihuo City, plus the consumption of the transport team on the way, almost more than three million catties of grain are needed to protect the army in front, the army has set off from Kazan City to now, nearly half a year has passed, and the first batch of teams to transport materials has just returned to Kazan City, and there are at least more than six transport teams on the way forward. More than 10,000 people were mobilized for the transport contingent alone, and each contingent of peasants and troops numbered more than 1,000 men.
