Zhang Shixiong sighed, drove away his inexplicable thoughts, and looked intently at the situation around him.
They are from Qingcheng through the Great Qingcheng Mountains, and then all the way to the north, through the Saiyinda Mountain, and then through the Gobi region, after entering the Tushetu Khan Department began to wander around, encountering herdsmen and gathering areas is to burn and loot, and successively defeated a number of forces to meet the Northern Cavalry, now the small group of the Northern Capture does not dare to approach at all, for the time being, there has not been a large share of the Northern Capture, but Zhang Shixiong has been quite vigilant, the three Outer Khalkha tribes in Mobei are called Khan, and the area ruled is very large, but there are many places with poor natural conditions in their territoryIn addition to the mountains and woodlands, there are quite a lot of Gobi regions, and the possibility of the chasers encountering a large force of enemy cavalry is not large.
"Battalion commander, whether to rest temporarily or camp here."
Zhang Shixiong took out the map in his skin and began to look.
While he was looking at the picture, even the commanders and squadron leaders gathered, and everyone was waiting for Zhang Shixiong's order.
Zhang Shixiong, like everyone else, wears a fiery red military robe, and if he senses the enemy, he will put on silver chain mail as soon as possible.
The chasers were all equipped with chain mail, and the officers could also add a heavy iron armor by themselves, but no officer from Zhang Hanxiong or below did this.
The most important core characteristics of the Chasseur are its strong firepower, light mobility, and easy to move and penetrate behind enemy lines, and perform various tasks that require quick action.
Therefore, no one from Zhang Shixiong down has the intention of strengthening the defense, but is as light as possible, and even when performing combat missions many times, they have not put on the chain armor.
Each Chasper has two or even three muskets, and they practice continuous firing during training and keeping the reload time as short as possible.
In addition to the long guns, each person has at least two handguns, which can be used to kill enemies at close range or protect themselves.
Each had a long or short spear or long knife, as well as rationed waist knives, each with a hand axe and throwing spear, and a small number of chasseurs armed with bows and arrows, who were confident in their marksmanship. 【】
The Firearms Bureau also wanted to develop some small throwing firearms, but Zhang Han vetoed it.
The explosive power and sealing performance of gunpowder in this era are too poor, and the so-called firearms such as 10,000 enemies are completely just concepts or gimmicks, and the lack of lethality is completely a sound, Zhang Han does not think that his craftsmen can defy the sky.
In addition to personal weapons, each chaser company carried four tiger squat cannons, and the whole battalion had 12 tiger squat cannons, all of which were specially selected by the army commander's firearms bureau.
This is an area-of-effect firearm, and it is also a weapon for the chasseurs when encountering a large number of enemies.
So far, though, none have been encountered.
"One hundred and fifty miles ahead is the city of Kulen." Zhang Shixiong said to the officers: "However, the density of the northern captives does not seem to be very large. ”
A company commander replied: "A few days ago, there was an abandoned pasture, and I think it may be that the northern captives can't stand it anymore. ”
Because it is lightly armed, horses, soldiers and horses are the best of the best, in the long more than half a month of wandering and doing war, the chassars move very quickly, the firepower output is rapid, several encounters in the battle of a large force of the northern cavalry was beaten can not get close, suppressed by the fire can not raise their heads, every encounter with the ranch felt bag is a burst of burning, Zhang Han has ordered in advance not to kill women, children and children, the fact is sometimes difficult to do, when the felt bag is on fire, how to distinguish between men and women? In half a month, the chasers destroyed five or six large pastures, almost non-stop.
"I know everybody's tired." Zhang Shixiong's words were soft, but his face was strong, he said: "Your Excellency has high hopes for us, the mission to the north is waiting for us to respond, the northern captives have either avoided the war recently, many places are empty, it seems that the manpower is concentrated in Kulun and the north of Kulun, and we must insist on continuing to ...... north."
Zhang Shixiong's words paused, and he felt that many chasers had fallen asleep.
The cavalry were too tired, and it had been half a month since they had fought in the north of the Gobi, and with the experience of rushing before, it was difficult for people not to overdraw their physical strength.
War horses have been replaced a lot, and many of the war horses at the beginning were lost, either so thin that they could not continue to follow, or they died directly, but fortunately, war horses are not rare in the grassland, and they can be constantly replenished, and the basic number is still maintained.
The chassars fell to the ground in groups, snoring like thunder, the war horses can be changed, but they have no way to change people, in the battlefield, people's spirit is highly nervous, it is difficult to really rest well, twice in the middle of the night when they know that the northern captives are coming, they can only hurry up to prepare for war...... In the past few years, everyone's physical energy has been consumed a lot, and many people have lost weight several times.
Seeing this, Zhang Shixiong did not relent, and only said: "I will come out in another quarter of an hour, and those who want to sleep during this period of time can sleep, eat something, cook some hot soup and drink." ”
……
Tushetu Khan was a middle-aged man, with a round crimson face, a short body, and a long beard on his chin, which was well groomed and dark in color...... The beard of men in this era was a status symbol, and the poor and the inferior did not have the time to take care of their beards and heads.
The origin of this Great Khan's throne is very complicated, anyway, it is not an authentic Mongol Khan, the Khalkha Department was originally only one of the 30,000 households on the left wing, and the internal division was divided into twelve departments, and later the Inner Five Divisions migrated southward, and now it is the Inner Khalkha Five Divisions led by Fried Flowers, and now they are either attached to the Jurchens or annexed by Lin Dan Khan, and they are no longer a whole.
The outer seven tribes have been expanding to the north, their people are gradually prospering, and the territory is getting bigger and bigger, to the north to Hanhai, bordering Buryat Mongolia, that is, the nomadic northern barbarians in the Irkutsk area, south to the Gobi Desert and the Saiyinda Mountains, east to the Great Khing'an Mountains, basically the territory of Outer Mongolia in later generations is much larger is where the current three tribes are located.
Although the territory of the three Transkhalkha tribes is large, they have always been subordinate to the great khans of the Chahar Khan lineage, and when Altan Khan was at its peak, they also called Altan Khan tribute, although the three tribes were called Khan in turn, but they did not have much ambition and did not have too strong strength...... The territory is large and the strength is two different things, the desert north is sparsely populated, and you may not be able to see a few people for a few days, the natural conditions are also poor, there are mountains and mines everywhere, and it is a good thing to mine more in later generations, Mongolia is to sell mines for a living, but at this time, where will these Mongolians open mines, these mines are in the way.
Tushetu Khan's name was Gunbu, and he sat cross-legged on the top position, and the look on his face was very unsightly.
"Great Khan," one of the ministers said, swallowing his spit and looking uneasy, "that group of red-robed cavalrymen is getting closer and closer to Kulen. ”
Another minister said nervously: "We must gather our troops and horses and be on guard. ”
"They're either people, they're demons!"
"The pasture of Bashan Taiji was burned down, and less than 100 of the more than 1,000 herdsmen escaped, and the scene was full of corpses, and the stench was terrible!"
"Now the shepherds say that this is a devil sent down from heaven to punish those who do not believe in the Buddha."
"Alas, what a disaster, what a disaster."
"Although we are friendly with Tumut, we are not obliged to fight for them, let alone die so many people, the price is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"What is their purpose now?"
"Who knows? They have already won Qingcheng, do they still want to take Cullen? ”
"I heard that Zhang Han wants to appoint Omubu Hongtaiji as the new Khan, if that's the case, he doesn't want to continue fighting."
"I know!"
One Taiji spoke so amazingly that the Mongols present, including Taiji and the ministers, all looked at him, and even Gunbu stared at the minister.
This person is a young Mongolian, and he is not very nervous to be stared at by so many people, he said: "My ranch is close to the north, and recently I have been with a group of Russians from the rest of the Chechen Ministry Taiji, they are mixed with Yusheng's people, we know that we have been to a team of Yusheng's mission before, and Yusheng and our Mongols have not yet started a war, let's send them out of the country, this time these people come back, we will send cavalry to chase and kill......"
Gunbu was very nervous when he heard this, and he said, "Did you kill anyone?" ”
"Nope." The young Taiji said with some embarrassment: "Their guards are very strong, although there are less than 200 soldiers, but we can't beat more than 1,000 people, I came here this time to ask the Great Khan to send troops to exterminate them." ”
Gunbu was furious, and he said, "How can you assert such a big matter? ”
The young Taiji was surprised: "Didn't the Great Khan gather troops and horses before, saying that he wanted to avenge Bu Shitu Khan and start a war with Yusheng?" ”
Gonbu blushed, stood up, and walked away.
At this time, all Taiji accused the young man Taiji together, and said nonsense: "The Great Khan is just talking, otherwise we would have sent troops earlier, how could we really fight?" ”
"Tumut is not Zhang Han's opponent at all, can we win?"
"It's good that you didn't hurt anyone, otherwise it would have been difficult."
A sneer appeared on the face of the young Taiji, and he said: "You don't dare to fight, I'll fight, I beat you and you're still here to say that mine is not, is it that the enemy is killing the door, and what we want is to surrender?" Where is the bloody nature of the Mongolian man? ”
All Taiji were speechless, watching this young Taiji go down.
There is a Taiji who said: "Buhe is too arrogant, I'm afraid that we will also be affected by him." ”
"There's no hurry." The bystander said: "The Great Khan will deal with it when he knows about it." ”
……
Gonbu didn't come out of the negative, he had more important things.
He called his son Dorji, and the two of them left the Khan Palace together and rushed to the Erdeni Zhao Monastery together.
Jebu Zundamba living Buddha in this temple preaching the Dharma, there are hundreds or even thousands of lamas in the temple every day, after all, this is a big living Buddha, the entire Mobei to the Tibetan region are convinced of the Yellow Religion, several living Buddhas are very respected, now at this time, although the Yellow Sect has not yet established the reincarnation of the four living Buddhas, but they have all had their own prototypes, Jebu Zundamba is not only a religious leader in Kulun, but also has considerable secular power, the Mongolian Khan and the nobles have something to be accustomed to consulting the living Buddha, the living Buddha is also very good at using this trust.
