Chapter 246: Cavalry Attack
Li Rong was puzzled in his heart, according to the situation and his own experience, the dust was determined to be caused by the two cavalry, but now he ordered the troops to prepare for battle, but Iktanga ordered not to act, which made Li Rong puzzled.
Iktanga's telescope never left his eyes. The reason why he asked Li Rong not to give the order just now was because he thought he had seen the cavalry decoration on the opposite side.
Black steel helmet and gray military uniform. Such decoration can only be done by the troops, that is, the guard regiment.
"The handsome man is here." Putting down the binoculars, Iktanga pointed slightly to the official road outside the forest.
As soon as he heard that Liu Jun was coming, Li Rong was suddenly petrified on the spot, this Yi Ke Tang Ah said that Liu Jun was only an hour ago, but he didn't expect Liu Jun to come now, he raised the telescope and looked at the opposite side with some disbelief.
In the binoculars, only the cavalrymen who rushed out of the col were all leaning on their rifles, and the black steel helmets on their heads were black and shiny in the sun. In the front, a horse as white as snow, a man wearing a black cloak and a large cap on his head was running ahead, and behind him, a dozen people in black suits.
"Sure enough, it's handsome." Li Rong spoke out in surprise. Then he put down the telescope in his hand and ran out.
Li Rong, who was too excited, only took less than ten minutes to come to the outside of the dense forest.
After greeting each other, Li Rong and Yi Ketanga took Liu Jun and more than 1,000 guards into the dense forest.
Liu Jun came this time to deal with the Russians, and in addition to the fact that these people are very familiar, he is not talking nonsense, but directly asks the staff officer to spread out the map.
While the staff officer was rolling out the map, Liu Jun glanced at Li Rong, who was full of joy.
To be honest, Liu Jun actually feels very guilty about Li Rong in his heart, although Li Rong is smart and a good fighter, his ability is not completely open, which is why he has always kept Li Rong by Ding Ruchang's side.
Li Rong's current ability to be in charge of an army is more than enough, and in charge of a corps, it is a bit insufficient, but there is no suitable personnel at present, so he can only be allowed to serve first.
Liu Jun's meaning is to wait for the construction of Lushun Military University to be completed, and then transfer Li Rong to the Military University, first study hard, and then put him back into the army, at that time, he is commanding a corps, or even more troops, it will not be so difficult.
"What's going on with the group of grandsons disguised as ******** Army?" Liu Junke doesn't have a good attitude towards polar bears.
"Marshal, according to the reconnaissance, the Russian army currently disguised as the Tushetu Khan, since it arrived at the Chechen Khan, has not made any movement, not only did not gather the Chechen Khan rebels to advance eastward, but instead slaughtered the Chechen Khan five kilometers outside a mountain pack to build fortifications." Li Rong said this, stretched out his hand and pointed to the map that had been laid on the ground, pointing out the approximate location.
Liu Jun frowned, and after gesturing his hand twice, he generally knew the distance.
Judging from the map, now, the position where he is locked is still one hundred and twenty-five kilometers away from the Chechen Khan.
"It's strange, why did these grandsons suddenly stop, you know, they arrived from the Tushetu Khan to the Chechen Khan in less than ten days?" Zhong Lin next to him asked suspiciously.
With a cold snort, Liu Jun stood up and looked at Zhong Lin: "What's strange, if you have more than 3,000 troops all of a sudden, they will be wiped out." It will also stop pushing to figure out the situation. ”
"Head, even if that's the case, it's been nearly ten days since this happened, and people can't be in a bad situation at all?" Zhong Lin is indeed a novice in this regard, and he is not even as good as Li Rong.
Li Rong smiled slightly: "After we annihilated those foreigners, no one found out at all, and in addition to the fact that our two corps entered Outer Mongolia secretly, all the people and herdsmen we met along the way were taken away, so no one found our trace at all." ”
Awesome, Zhong Linlu suddenly gave a thumbs up. He really admired that this kind of yin damage move could be used.
In fact, all the people he met along the way were taken away, Liu Jun said it when the two corps set off, and he wanted to give Outer Mongolia a mystery, that is, to let Outer Mongolia not know that he had sent troops.
Liu Jun didn't pay attention to the two of them, but squatted down and looked at the map.
From the map, the north of the Chechen Khan is the desert, and to the east, there are the Gobi and swamps, and the only ones that can be entered are the south and west.
Needless to say, to the west is the territory now controlled by the rebels of Outer Mongolia, and to the south.
With a bang, Liu Jun smashed his fist on the map to the south.
To the south, the Russian soldiers of the Tushetu Khan, who had been camouflaged, had built fortifications, and if they wanted to advance westward, they had to take the Chechen Khan, and if they wanted to take the Chechen Khan, they had to defeat the Russians first.
The soldiers were fast, Liu Jun opened his eyes fiercely, and looked at Yiketanga beside him: "Where are our cavalry at present?" ”
"Zhang Qing's cavalry army." Iktanga replied quickly without thinking.
The first cavalry army, that is, nineteen thousand people, plus its own guard regiment, that is twenty thousand people, from here, more than a hundred kilometers. If you add the time to rest and move forward, it's only one day at most. At present, the Chechen Khan does not know that I am so close to him, and the defense must be lax. ”
"You two, go and inform me, so the mortars, all delivered to the cavalry army. Let the cavalry army quickly prepare for battle, and follow Lao Tzu to end his Russian defense line. Without any hesitation, Liu Jun quickly gave the order.
The mortars of the two armies, that is, almost seventy. In this operation, because of the remoteness of the distance and the difficulty of the road, the field artillery was relatively small, and only 20 were brought by the two armies.
"Head, you mean to dispatch cavalry, run quickly, and then bombard him with mortars while those bastards don't react."
Hiss...... Liu Jun took a deep breath, he never dreamed that Zhong Lin, who had always been an idiot in the military, actually saw his intentions.
Nodding slightly, Liu Jun glanced at Iktanga and Li Rong again: "You lead the troops, you must come and join me as quickly as possible, and then attack the Chechen Khan." ”
"Understood." Iktanga and Li Rong puffed up their chests fiercely and said loudly.
On the grasslands of Outer Mongolia, the dust in the sky is like a sandstorm, and if it is in the daytime, it can be seen from a distance of several kilometers.
The earth trembled, and the rumbling of horses' hooves could be heard for miles.
Thousands of cavalry running, bringing people not only superficial fear, but also inner fear.
"Head, I don't understand, why do you order so stupid people as you meet on the road?" Zhong Lin, who was on the horse, thought for a long time, and didn't understand why Liu Jun would issue such a chilling order when Zhang Qing set off.
After deciding to use cavalry for a long run, Liu Jun asked Zhong Lin to find Zhang Qing and give him a cruel-looking order, that is, from now until the capture of the Chechen Khan, any Outer Mongolians he encountered were to be slaughtered.
Liu Jun, who was waving the horsewhip, took a look at Zhong Lin, although he couldn't see Zhong Lin's expression, but Liu Jun definitely knew that his expression was not very good, and there was also blame for killing too much.
With a slight wry smile, in fact, he didn't want to give such an order, but the distance from here to the Chechen Khan was more than 100 kilometers, and who could guarantee that there were no rebel spies among these herdsmen. If this is the case, then they will expose their whereabouts in advance, and even go west, telling the Outer Mongolian army in the west to be ready, which will be very detrimental to their own attack.
"It's very simple, can you guarantee that the people Zhang Qing met were all loyal to my Great Qing Kingdom?"
This one? Zhong Lin suddenly understood something, but he still muttered: "Head, although it can't be guaranteed, there are still some people who are loyal to us?" ”
Idiot, Liu Jun cursed in his heart, if he was on the ground, Zhong Lin would definitely be kicked by himself now.
He didn't want to think about it, when he ordered Zhang Qing to set off, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, at this time, the weather was almost dark, and who would wander outside when he was full of food and had nothing to do.
"You're stupid, if a good person is going to wander outside on a big night?"
Hehe, Zhong Lin burst out laughing, he just couldn't get around this bend just now.
"Head, why did you divide the cavalry into three directions, and have the cavalry stationed ten miles from the destination?" Zhong Lin asked another question in his mind again.
Hey, Liu Jun really wanted to slap Zhong Lin to death.
These nearly 20,000 cavalry, if they pass by with a huh, the sound of horses' hooves and the trembling they bring, they are afraid that they will be heard by people ten kilometers away, and they will be caught off guard. Even if it was divided into three directions, there would be more than 6,000 cavalry, if it was too close. That will also make the other person notice.
It's over, this bastard can only be a spy for the rest of his life. Liu Jun closed his eyes helplessly.
