Chapter 1302: Enter Mobei

From the capital to Mobei, there are three thousand miles away, even if the army marches more than sixty miles a day on average, it will take nearly two months, now it is the middle of summer, it is already autumn in Mobei, there is only one and a half months of combat time, once it enters the cold winter, it will not be able to continue to use troops to the north, it is too cold, even if the combat power of the Tianwei army is strong, it will not be able to maintain combat power in Siberia at dozens of degrees below zero.

After only three days of delay, Zhu Jie took Qin Mufeng and led the cavalry battalion of 8,000 people in the two towns to go north out of Changping and go straight to Monan!

In just ten days, 8,000 elite cavalry had already arrived in Hohhot, at this time, the 20,000 elite cavalry of the four parts of Monan Mongolia and the elite cavalry of the third town had already been prepared, as for the collected grain and grass and cold clothing, they had already moved with the artillery, and now they had arrived in the depths of Monan.

Zhu Jie did not stop in Hohhot, leading 13,000 Tianwei troops and cavalry, plus 20,000 Mongolian cavalry to continue to advance rapidly towards Mobei.

In a month and a half, the cavalry of the Ming army had penetrated deep into Mobei and arrived at Baoerwendu. It's less than 400 miles from Ulaanbaatar. For cavalry, that is, a journey of four or five days.

"Mu Feng, is there no news from Duan Xuan in the east?"

Zhu Jie asked in a deep voice.

Qin Mufeng replied: "Your Majesty, the scouts we sent have been constantly inquiring about the news, it is reported that because the weather is getting colder, the three tribes of Mobei Mongolia have been evacuated from the east and plan to return to their respective territories, however, the Rakshasa soldiers from the Rakshasa country have not left, but have plans to live for a long time......

Zhu Jie sneered: "Of course I won't leave, the so-called invitation to God is easy to send God, the people of the Rakshasa Country are greedy, and they have long coveted the land of Daming, and now Daming and Mobei are fighting each other, it is their opportunity to fish in troubled waters, how can they easily retreat?" I'm afraid that I will continue to increase my troops when I turn back! ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? They are a Rakshasa country, a small country with projectiles, where I don't birds, and I dare to start a war with our Ming Dynasty? It's the other way around! ”

Qin Mufeng said disdainfully.

Zhu Jie said indifferently: "You are wrong, it is true that they stay in a place where birds don't, but it is not a small country, the population of the Rakshasa country is tens of millions, and the territory is at least the same as that of the Ming Dynasty now, but we are still far away from the hinterland of the Rakshasa country, and the army of the Rakshasa country can not easily run to our side, from their St. Petersburg to here, almost five or six thousand miles away, or even farther, the area through which is inaccessible, if you send 100,000 troops from their country, come to Mobei, all the way, The money and food consumed alone is not something that the Rakshasa Kingdom can afford......"

Sizzle&

Qin Mufeng gasped, five or six thousand miles away from the hinterland of the Rakshasa Country, it was really far enough, not to mention a hundred thousand troops, even if it was a 10,000 army, coming from such a distant place, there would be no three or four months, and he would not be able to enter Mobei, as for entering the pass, I am afraid that it would take at least half a year, 10,000 troops, half a year of marching, how much food would be consumed? And there is no supply on the way, completely relying on domestic transportation, just afraid of transporting one pound of grain to the customs, they will have to consume four pounds of grain, along the way, I am afraid that at least 100,000 stone of grain can be afforded, right?

What if it's an army of 100,000? That's millions of stone of food! And horse feed, so much money and food! If the 100,000 army fights in Daming for a year and a half, the lord of the Rakshasa country is afraid that he will really have to lose his pants!

Qin Mufeng marched to fight, counting the consumption in the war, but this calculation is very unscientific and not comprehensive, he only knows these, in Zhu Jie's opinion, but it is far more than that, a long journey, crossing the uninhabited Siberia, along the way, just injuries and illnesses will take away one-third of the troops! Even if Tsarist Russia is greedy, it will never dare to rashly invade the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, especially before the railway comes out, and even dare not launch an expedition of 100,000 or even 200,000 troops to the Ming Dynasty, that is, playing with fire and self-immolation!

What Zhu Jie has to do now is to teach the Romanov Tsar of Tsarist Russia a cruel lesson, they can see the fierce combat power of the Ming Xiong Division, and they dare not look east when they are completely beaten!

"Jiaxing, continue to send scouts of the Mongolian cavalry to investigate the military movements in Mobei, you must be fast, I want the most accurate military information, if possible, we must end this war before the winter! The army continues to advance, and tomorrow morning it will take Balvindu, and the front of the army will be directed towards Ulaanbaatar! ”

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice.

Song Jiaxing on the side hurriedly agreed, and sent all the scouts under his hands out, after all, it is in Mobei, almost everyone here does not understand the Han language, all of them speak Mongolian, if there is no Mongol cavalry in Monan to lead the way, they really dare not go deep into this barren land, it is too dangerous.

The next day, the army arrived at Baoerwendu, Baoerwendu is just a small tribe in the north of the desert, the population is only 20,000, the small tribes are living by water, this generation of water and grass is abundant, the Mongolian Kocha Department of Baoerwendu has been living here for more than three years.

Qin Mufeng didn't have any intention of making a move, Xiao Shrimp, he couldn't dispatch the elite cavalry of the Tianwei Army, Song Jiaxing had to command the Mongol tribes in Southern Mo to attack straight towards Bao Erwendu!

One down, this small tribe, only two or three thousand cavalry, and lack of strict training, where is the opponent of the elite cavalry of the Mongol Desert, as soon as they fight, they were beaten by the Mongol cavalry of the Monan, the entire tribe was wiped out by Song Jiaxing in only half a day, capturing countless cattle and sheep, killing more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry, and the rest of the Mongolian herdsmen all scattered and fled.

At this time, the tribe was defeated, for the Mongolian herdsmen, it was a catastrophe, and there was still more than a month of severe cold to come, where is there time to stock up on enough food and water? The cattle, sheep and horses were all robbed, and if you are lucky, you can run to other tribes and become slaves, maybe you can survive, and if you are unlucky, you can only freeze to death, which is also a common thing among the Mongolian tribes.

As soon as Bauerwendu was destroyed, more than a dozen war horses came to the east!

More than a dozen cavalrymen rushed in front of the army like lightning!

"We are under the command of the general soldier of the Manmeng Xinzhen Duan, and we ask to meet the emperor!"

Zhu Jie raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Spread the decree, let them come!" ”

Qin Mufeng pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Duan Xuan, this straw bag, I don't know what to do, the elite power of a town was beaten by Mobei Mongolia, it's really embarrassing for Lao Tzu!" ”
