Man Gui rode a horse and walked on the grassland, the Mongols retreated more than 1,000 miles in the first battle of Shizuishan, and there was no more war on the border of Gansu. The scouts searched the Gobi for more than a month, but they did not find the slightest trace of the Mongols.

September is the day when the eagle flies, the autumn grass is yellow, the sky is high, and the annual Naadam conference begins. Man Gui, who had nothing to do, roamed the grassland with his cavalry, preparing to participate in the Naadam Conference of the Horqin Three Divisions.

The vast majority of the 1st Cavalry Division were Mongols, and they were very eager for the traditional festivals of the Mongols. I don't know how many years, I haven't participated in the Naadam conference. I am very much looking forward to wrestling, horse racing, archery, horse set, Mongolian chess, and tasting hand-handled mutton, beef jerky, cheese, milk jerky, cream, milk lumps, milk tofu, and yogurt.

These are the traditional foods of the Mongolian people, and the thought of sweet dried milk, milk tofu, and sour cheese will make your mouth flutter. What's more, there were girls at the Naadam conference. Mongolian girls are different from Han girls, and warm and generous will make you feel extremely happy.

Anyway, the three parts of Horqin are all Mangui's defense areas, and walking in the three banners of Horqin, Mangui is like a lion patrolling his territory.

"What day is the Naadam Conference?" Man Gui shook his body with the bumps of the war horse, resonating rhythmically.

"The day after tomorrow? Will we be able to get to the old camp in Geritu the day after tomorrow? "Mongolians live on water and grass, and the places where they graze are not fixed every year. Geritu's old camp is naturally not fixed.

"I've already sent the scout brothers to ask, there are only a few pieces of grassland with abundant water and grass in the three parts of Horqin, as long as you send someone to inquire, it is not difficult to find."

"I haven't been to Naadam in years." Thinking of the scene when he was a child, his father took him to the Naadam Conference, Man Gui felt his face blush and his heart beat. There are piles of good food everywhere and enthusiastic girls everywhere. It's a pity that Man Gui was too poor at that time.

A few cavalrymen ran back in the distance, and the soldiers pointed at the cavalry and said with a smile: "The scouts are back, these boys are running really fast, they must have found the old camp of Geritu." ”

"When you come back, you must beat these boys, you don't care about your war horses at all, it's not our Mongolian style."

"That's right! Haha, beat them up. ”

Man Gui looked at the cavalry galloping in the distance amid the laughter of his own soldiers.

The cavalry ran closer and closer, and the smile on Man Gui's face gradually solidified. The horsemen frantically urged their horses under their crotches, and the galloping hooves of the horses would bring up large chunks of dirt each time. The Mongol cavalry would never destroy their horses like this, unless they ......!

"Divisional commander......! Go out...... Something big is wrong. The cavalry galloped in front of Man Gui and reined in his horses, panting and not forgetting to salute.

"Oh?" Man Gui's face sank, and the Jungar Department had disappeared. The scouts have been looking for a month and have not found any traces, could it be that they have come to the three banners of Horqin?

That's a big deal! In the vast grassland, it is not easy to find a team. What's more, it's still the Mongols who grew up in the steppe. If the Dzungars are determined to play peek-a-boo with themselves, then the matter will be a big deal. In case these bastards hit Shanxi with their heads, or attack Hebei to grab a handful, Man Gui has no second way to go except to commit suicide and apologize.

The scout led the way in front, galloping for more than twenty miles in a river bay, and Man Gui saw the wreckage of more than thirty tents.

The Mongolians live in pursuit of water and grass, and the water and grass in this river bay are abundant, and there can be more than 30 herdsmen, which is already a large ethnic group. Generally speaking, every family will have a man who can fight on horseback. Waiting for idle horse thieves would never dare to attack such a herdsman community.

The burned tent was no longer smokeless, and the soot seemed to have been doused by the rain. At least it was half a month ago, because there was only a rain in this area of grassland half a month ago.

Inside the ruins were charred human figures, limbs curled up like rats. There were also human limbs that had been gnawed by wolves on the grass, and some bones still had some rotting flesh on them. A few vultures are pecking unscrupulously.

No cattle or sheep were seen, and no horses were seen. Not a single living person was seen, and everything that could not be taken was burned in flames. The killing and looting were done so cleanly, if this was a gang of horse thieves, Man Gui believed that there would definitely not be less than seven or eight hundred.

There should not be such a large army on the steppe, and it is not easy to feed seven or eight hundred people. They need frequent robberies to survive. If there was such a large group of robbers active, whether it was Man Gui or Ge Ritu, it would have been eliminated a long time ago. They will definitely not tolerate their unscrupulous presence on the steppe!

The people of Zungar must be the people of Zungar. Man Gui seemed to smell those crazy cavalry!

"Check it out and see if there's any clues." Man Gui gave an order, and his soldiers began to explore the area within a radius of ten miles.

Soon there was a big discovery, a large pile of scattered white bones, scattered within a radius of one mile. There are old-fashioned firecrackers, bows, arrows, sabers and other objects falling on the ground, and there are many corpses of war horses. Several of them were rotten, and vultures were pecking at them. Seeing the arrival of Man Gui and his party, the vulture fluttered and flew into the distance.

"Commander, look!" A pro-soldier picks up a skull with the tip of a knife, and the skull has a round hole in it. This is the hole that the bullet has pierced, and Man Gui is all too familiar with it.

More and more evidence was found, and when the soldiers found a warhead like a yellow flower on the horse's carcass, everything was no longer needed. The Zungar people did it, and only the Ming army and the Zungar people in the world have such standard bullets.

The bullets used by the Dzungars were the same as those of the English, and they were larger than those of the Ming army, so you only need to take out two bullets and compare them.

Before their deaths, these Mongols fought to the death. The corpses here are surrounded by bows and arrows and scimitars. A few people had on hand, and old-fashioned breech firebolts.

With a scimitar and a bow and arrows, how could they be an opponent of the Dzungars armed with standard rifles. The warriors were all killed in battle, and then their homes were sacked by the Dzungars.

In the past two years, under the leadership of Ge Ritu, the three tribes of Horqin, which had been trading with the Han people, gradually recovered from the defeat in the previous years. Their cattle and sheep increased again, and the wealth they gathered attracted jackals, which is why the small tribe was wiped out.

"Herald! The whole division contracted and assembled, ready for battle. Sending people to Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hebei to warn them, an unknown number of Dzungar people entered the grassland. Man Gui's eyebrows twisted into a pimple.

Today's 1st Cavalry Division has almost the same weapons as the Dzungars. After a few tough battles in Gansu, the 1st Cavalry Division did not take any advantage, and there were casualties in every battle!

The most important thing now is to know how many men and horses there are in this Jungar tribe that has invaded the steppe.

"Division commander, if they attack Shaanxi, Shanxi, or Hebei, our backbone will be broken." As the only cavalry division in the Liao army, the first cavalry division has more than 18,000 people, but it enjoys the money and food supply of more than 30,000 people in the regular field division.

The extremely high remuneration has long aroused the dissatisfaction of other troops. If so many Jungar cavalry infiltrated this time, and they also attacked the territory of the Han family in the Great Wall, the stinky mouths of those bastards don't know how to hurt people.

"Don't worry, it's September. In another month it will cool down on the grasslands, and it will snow at the end of October. No one will march on a snowy steppe, that is looking for death. They only have a little more than half a month to rob.

Assemble your team and find a few trackers. Although half a month has passed, his traces can definitely be found. Follow the trail and you'll soon be able to find them. Man Gui thought for a while, and suddenly smiled.

In the vast grassland, it is not easy to find a team. But tracking a team is simple, because a large group of people and horses will always leave many traces on the grassland. Broken grass stalks, ashes from the start of a fire to grill food. There was also human and horse dung, and the bones of cattle and sheep that were thrown away. Autumn high sheep fat, they will definitely not miss the opportunity to taste fat mutton.

With just a few tracking masters, you'll be able to catch up with these damn Dzungars.

The wolf smoke was ignited, and on the grassland with a clear sky, the billowing wolf smoke could be seen within a radius of fifty miles. The soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division, who saw the wolf smoke, quickly lit the wolf smoke, and then gathered towards the place where the wolf smoke was ignited.

There were more than 18,000 people in one division, scattered on the ground within a radius of 80 miles. Man Gui waited for a night, and the next morning the 1st Cavalry Division appeared in front of him with a full load.

Finding a few subordinate regiment commanders, Man Gui pointed to the map with a gloomy face: "It has been ascertained that there are Zhunger cavalry who have come in, whether they came from the Mongolian steppe or from somewhere there is no way to find out."

Now the various departments are in a long snake formation, lined up from one regiment to five regiments. Each regiment was four miles in front of each regiment and conducted a dragnet search. As soon as the Jungar cavalry is found, report it quickly and then eliminate it. You must keep your mouth alive, and Lao Tzu must know from their mouths how many Jungger people have mixed in. Got it?

Time is running out, and they are most likely to attack in half a month. If they are allowed to sack Shanxi, or Shaanxi or Hebei, Lao Tzu will kill you all before he kills himself. ”

Man Gui knew too much about these animals under him, and they had never heard of the words "preferential treatment of prisoners". War can stir up the most primitive tyranny in people's hearts, and it is normal to torture and kill some prisoners after a bloody battle.

In Man Gui's view, cruelty can arouse the wildness in the hearts of soldiers. He usually has a blind eye to the matter of torture and killing. As long as he doesn't make too much trouble, he doesn't bother to care.

"No!" Seeing the fierce eyes of the division commander, the regiment commanders stood up and promised. No one dares to be ambiguous, this division commander is a veteran who started with the big handsome, killing a few regiment commanders, it's trivial!

The 1st Cavalry Division quickly dispersed, and each regiment had only four miles in front. In front, there are traces left by the tracking masters to search for the Dzungars, and the rear team of people is following. Everyone was ready to fight at any time, and every officer and soldier held their breath in their hearts.

The steppe is the steppe of the 1st Cavalry Division, and they will never allow any foreign forces to infiltrate it. Now the Jungger people actually dare to go to their own land to make trouble, if they don't kill these bastards, they will really be mixed up in the Liao army in the future. When you meet a brother unit, how can you still hold your head up.

Each regiment has four miles of land in front, and five regiments stretch for twenty miles. Man Gui moved in the center, moving along the place where the trace was found. They marched at breakneck speed, fearing they would act before they could catch up with these bastards.

The search line was twenty miles long, and many discoveries were made soon. Man Gui carefully inspected the camp of these people and found that they were also gradually converging in small groups. The camp found on the first day was just over fifty piles of ashes. Counting up, the Jungar cavalry was about 500 people.

But the next day, the campsite was found to be a hundred or so piles of ashes.

……！

After five days of walking, the ashes had reached two thousand piles. In this way, the other side has almost 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Along the way, they found countless slaughtered small tribes and ordinary herdsmen's homes. The Dzungar people started quite darkly, from the eighty-year-old old man to the doll in his arms, no one survived. Man Gui even found that a baby was missing two legs, and the two bones that looked like leg bones of mutton thrown on the side of the fire looked like human bones no matter how you looked.

Finally, on the seventh day, scouts, twenty miles ahead, engaged in an exchange of fire with the cavalry of the Dzungar Mongols.

The sound of gunshots, explosions is an order.

All the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division, without waiting for Man Gui's order, immediately enlarged the fan area and fanned towards the enemy.

The war came too suddenly for Geldan, and this way infiltrated thousands of miles of Korqin, and the gains were quite rich. He didn't expect that the three departments of Horqin, which had just been robbed a few years ago, would become rich again in such a short period of time.

After Dolgon's persuasion, he ordered 5,000 cavalry to escort the booty back to the Turpan fiefdom. He took the remaining fifteen thousand cavalry and rushed to the old camp of Gezhitu to grab a handful. Geldan believed that his 15,000 cavalry would definitely be able to defeat Geritu with primitive weapons. All in all, it was the last day of the Naadam Conference.

Merchants from all over the world, as well as headmen, gathered in the old camp. At this time, you can grab a handful and definitely make a lot of profits.

In his mind, he was thinking about making a fortune, and not far from the camp, gunshots rang out.

At first, he just sent a team of 100 to support. But soon, he had to send a team of 1,000 people to save the team of 100. When the gunshots rang out like popping beans, mixed with the sound of mortar explosions, Gerdan finally understood. The Ming army came, and the difficult 1st Cavalry Division came. And listening to the sound of this gunshot, it is not one or two, it should be all the main forces gathered here.

How did they know that Lao Tzu had come to Horqin?

PS: The Mongol Naadam Assembly should be the fourth day of June, which is changed to autumn in this book. The Curiosity Party Don't Spray Me!
