Chapter 554: Sweeping Horqin

The tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry of the Horqin Department were annihilated by the Far East, and the various tribes scattered in the Horqin steppe were basically unable to organize effective resistance, and in the face of the surging Far Eastern cavalry, they could only fight on their own.

But whether it is the main cavalry units in the Far East or overseas brigades, they are all armed to the teeth. Even the fighting power of the Mongolian militia brigade is not weak, at least much stronger than that of the tribal herdsmen.

After Gao Qiang gave the order to sweep the Horqin grassland, in order to improve the suddenness of the attack, it didn't matter so much at this time, whether it was the main Mongolian cavalry brigade or the Mongolian cavalry brigade, they all killed the grassland.

The 9th Brigade of the Mongolian Militia, under the leadership of Zhao Guan, marched very fast. Although the Mongol militia brigade was composed of ordinary herdsmen, their riding skills were very skilled, and they constantly changed horses on the way, and the speed was not much slower than that of the main Mongolian cavalry brigade.

After a short while, they spotted a tribe in the distance, and all the Mongol militia cheered excitedly. For Mongolian herdsmen, this time is the happiest, like a group of hungry wolves seeing their prey and fiercely pounced on it.

At this time, they would rush into the tribe, and the whole tribe would be seized from them, and all they had to do now was to kill all their men, and take away their cattle, sheep, horses, and women.

The herdsmen on the outskirts of the tribe had already sounded their trumpets, and the leader of the tribe rushed out of the tribe with a young man with a bow on his back and crossed his horse, and met the militia brigade to kill him. The old people, children, and women of the tribe also took up arms, mounted their horses, and rushed out of the tribe after the young herdsmen.

This kind of situation is too common in the steppe, and the wars between the tribes are very barbaric, and whenever the Mongols encounter a white plague, many tribes can only rob and kill in order to survive. Or you won't survive at all.

Therefore, the tribes on the grassland this spring were ready to rob others or be robbed by others, and this tribe was very well prepared, and soon after the horn sounded, more than 1,000 young and strong herdsmen and cavalry had been mobilized.

But the strength of this tribe was not comparable to that of the Mongol militia brigades, which carried steel horse bows and steel arrowheads. Whether it is the range or penetrating power, it is not comparable to the shoddy horse bow in the hands of the young herdsmen of the tribe.

Moreover, the Mongolian cavalry that has undergone winter training and intensive training in front of the station is not something that these young tribes with chaotic formations can resist. Bagan and several company commanders rushed to the front of the line with 40mm grenade launchers.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Mongol tribe on the opposite side had entered the firing range, Bagan shouted: "Launch ......"

Several 40-millimeter high-explosive grenades instantly smashed into the Mongolian herdsmen's cavalry a few hundred meters away, "Boom...... With a few ......bangs, the herdsmen's cavalry team was suddenly blown up, and the formation became chaotic.

At this time, the battalion commanders of several other battalions also picked up the 40-mm grenade launcher and pulled the trigger. More than 20 40-mm grenades exploded one after another in the herdsmen's cavalry group opposite.

The horse team composed of more than 1,000 herdsmen cavalry, how could it withstand such destruction, and after they fired a second round of grenades at Bagen, they were suddenly blown up and scattered.

Zhao Guan shouted loudly to several battalion commanders: "Charge with the battalion as a unit, and all units should pay attention to cooperating with each other, and rush ......."

The militiamen of the 9th Mongolian Militia Brigade heard Zhao Guan's order and immediately roared and rushed into this steppe tribe. While galloping, he took off the steel plate horse bow and shot a Mongolian herdsman as far as they could see.

The herdsmen's cavalry was blown up by grenades from the militia brigade and fled in all directions. The pursuing Mongol militia shot down their horses. Bagan picked up a double-barreled cap gun and kept shooting the fleeing herdsmen's cavalry.

This guy's horse is very accurate in marksmanship. Even at high speed, the hit rate is still very high, and several herdsmen of the tribe have been shot. Other Mongolian militiamen also bent their bows and arrows, and the dense rain of arrows continued to harvest the lives of the herdsmen cavalry, except for more than 100 herdsmen cavalry who fled, the rest of the herdsmen cavalry died on the periphery of the tribe.

Bagan stormed the Horde and changed his weapons. With a revolver in one hand and a saber in the other, he roared loudly and slaughtered the panicked crowd of the tribe.

"Poof".

With a single slash, Bagan knocked over a half-grown child who was running, raised his hand and killed a Mongolian woman, then put away his revolver. He took out a rope for a horse, shook it a few times, threw it out, and put it around the neck of a Mongolian herdsman who was running away on horseback, and directly dragged him off the horse.

Bagen slapped the horse under his crotch violently, dragging the herdsman to continue to rush deeper into the tribe, shouting at the top of his voice: "Ah...... Kill......"

The herdsman who was wrapped around his neck was also dragged to death, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

The other Mongol militiamen were also red-eyed, drawing their sabers and galloping around the tribe. They killed men and women, young and old, and only a few of the tribes of several thousand people fled, and the rest were slaughtered by them.

In a few moments, this Mongol tribe disappeared. Zhao Guan led the troops to completely clean up the battlefield, and then left a company responsible for guarding the cattle, sheep and horses of this tribe, waiting for the Mongolian young men of the logistics brigade behind to hand over the spoils to them for management.

Then Zhao Guan took the Mongolian Ninth Militia Brigade and continued to kill in the depths of the Horqin steppe.

The Central Army resolutely carried out Li Ming's orders, and in the early stage of the attack, they killed very hard. The tribes that dare to resist are often miserable, and the whole tribe is a chicken and a dog.

The Central Legion wiped out several tribes one after another, and immediately shocked the other tribes on the steppe.

The Far East is too ruthless, as long as any tribe dares to resist, even if they surrender in the end, it is useless, they will kill and burn all along the way. If such a thing is put in the Central Plains, then the reputation of the Far East may be stinky, but this is the grassland, respecting the law of the jungle of survival of the fittest, you can only be obedient if you are strong and fierce.

The prairie has to use the rules of the prairie, no matter when, you have to show your knife first, preferably a blood-stained knife.

The ferocity of the Central Legion did not unite the tribes of the steppe to fight the Far East. Instead, they chose to surrender to the Far East, and the nobles of the tribe, Nayan, knelt in front of the tribe with the Mongolian herdsmen of the tribe, waiting for the arrival of the Far East.

In less than a month, the Central Army swept across a large grassland north of the Xiliao River, many tribes surrendered one after another, and a large number of tribes tried to move westward, but they drove countless cattle and sheep, with men, women and children, and the speed was not fast at all. As long as it is discovered by a few airships of the airship detachment patrolling around, what awaits this tribe will be a merciless slaughter in the Far East.

Of course, the grassland is too big, and many tribes simply gave up a lot of cattle and sheep, and moved westward over the Daxing'an Mountains and went to **. But they are all insignificant small and medium-sized tribes, and the big tribes really can't abandon the belongings they have accumulated over the years. (To be continued......)
