Chapter 502: Sweeping the Grassland

"Your Excellency, I've been looking forward to you for a long time!" Badma Dorji excitedly took Engean's hand and shook it vigorously, his face full of joy.

Originally an Austrian, Enchen came to Russia to study military affairs and was sent to serve in Siberia, where he also learned the nomadic style, cunning and ruthless.

In the battle against the majority, he was known for his cruelty and was known as the Bloody Baron, who had followed Semenov and was not all the way to Kolchak, and they even plundered Kolchak's arms supplies. But just recently, Kolchak suddenly introduced a princess, and demanded that all the White Army recognize the status of princess and let her inherit the position of tsar.

Grand Duke Felix, who was in the Far East, was the first to agree, and sent his subordinates to Kolchak to manage, so that Kolchak's position in the White Army was suddenly stabilized, and many of Engen's subordinates submitted to Kolchak.

However, the bloody baron still looked down on Kolchak, and he didn't believe that the princess was real, but Kolchak had already seized the opportunity, and he just had no skills to recover. After some consideration, Engén had a whim, and he made the decision to send troops to Outer Mongolia.

Moreover, Enchen has greater ambitions, after occupying Outer Mongolia, and then attacking Beijing and Tianjin, he can control China in his hands, and then use China as a counteroffensive base to fight the majority party.

Tsarist Russia may not be able to swallow China with all the strength of the country, and Enchen actually wants to take China with a little remnant of his army, I have to say that it is a snake swallowing an elephant, wishful thinking, there is no such possibility at all. But this guy doesn't see it that way, he thinks that China is a bunch of cowardly natives and is not vulnerable at all. As long as the Russian army appeared on Chinese soil, it could easily control the country.

Enchen was interested in opening up a new world in China, and these princes and magnates of Outer Mongolia also wanted to bring in the White Russian Liliang to protect them. With the outbreak of the Russian civil war, these powerful people in Outer Mongolia lost their support, and when facing the Chinese government, they lacked confidence.

They also heard that the Beiyang government appointed Xu Shuzheng as the Northwest Frontier Governor, and it was obvious that the spearhead was directed at Outer Mongolia. In addition, after the economic development of the three eastern provinces in the past two years, an adsorption effect has been formed, and more and more cattle and sheep in Mongolia have been bought in the three eastern provinces, and a large number of daily necessities have been introduced from the northeast.

This close economic tie. Compared with military control, it is more terrible, if it continues in the long run, the economy is inseparable, and they have no possibility of independence, so the upper echelons of Outer Mongolia decided to introduce White Russian Liliang. Fight stress.

Enchen and they were dry firewood and hit it off. After the meeting. Engén said arrogantly: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the powerful Cossack cavalry is coming, and any Chinese troops are not our opponents, our war horses." Being able to break through any barrier can easily make Outer Mongolia completely become an independent country, and no one can stop it. ”

"Thank you, Baron, we will do our best to cooperate with you. Ask for grain for food, and ask for horses for horses. There is only one point, that is, the current political situation in China is turbulent, and I heard that a new Mongolian patrol envoy has been appointed, that is, Zhang Tinglan, the young marshal of the Fengjun, this person is not easy to deal with! ”

Badma Dorji mentioned Zhang Tinglan, and also showed a trace of worry, although Outer Mongolia was closed, but he had also heard of Zhang Tinglan, this young man had done a lot of great things over the years, and he had fought with Russia a few times, but the Russians suffered losses, and he also had some doubts about whether Enchen could deal with Zhang Tinglan.

"Don't worry, the Chinese are all the same, incompetent cowards." Enggen waved his hand nonchalantly, laughed wildly and said: "As soon as my army appears in front of them, any army will collapse, they are not at all opponents of Cossack warriors!" ”

Badma Dorzi succeeded in luring the wolf into the house, and more and more White Russian troops poured into Outer Mongolia. At the same time, a new wave was also set off in the southern part of Outer Mongolia, and more than 1,000 people led by Xu Shuzheng were rushing towards Saiyin Shanda.

"Mr. Xu, according to our latest information, there are more than 3,000 soldiers and herdsmen in the pastoral area near Saiyin Shanda, raising more than 10,000 war horses, which is the main source of horses for the Outer Mongolian rebels and Mongolian bandits."

Tian Mu reported the situation to Xu Shuzheng, he was from the special combat team of the Fengjun army, and this time he took a squadron of special forces to assist Xu Shuzheng in combat, collect intelligence for him, and carry out special attacks.

Xu Shuzheng put a combat map in front of him, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "This is the key point to enter Kulun, and it really needs to be controlled in your hands." What is the situation at the ranch now, and are they prepared? ”

"Yes, I recently heard that the rebels from Outer Mongolia are coming to take away a group of war horses, so they patrol very closely, and it is not a big problem for us to not do much, and we can easily break through."

"Well, the soldiers are fast, we'll kill them now. But everyone must be careful, don't underestimate the enemy, this is Tushetu Khan's territory. Tushetu Khan is the largest tribe in Outer Mongolia, and it is also the main force in planning the independence of Outer Mongolia. ”

"Understood!"

After Xu Shuzheng explained clearly, Tian Mu personally led the special combat team in front and quietly touched towards the pastoral area, faintly able to see a little light, and could hear a trace of horses' hooves, it seemed that a patrol team was approaching.

Tian Mu immediately made the shape of a horn with his two hands, and then imitated the sound of a wolf's howl, the long sound spread far away in the grassland, and others followed suit, creating an illusion of a wolf pack.

Sure enough, with their howl, a patrol squad was finally alarmed, the steppe wolf is very terrible, overnight, there is no problem at all to kill dozens or hundreds of livestock, recently the top is begging for military horses, at this juncture, there must be no problem.

So six or seven of the patrolmen rushed at him, and when they had approached a thick bush, the soldier who had suddenly walked in front of him fell to the ground, and the others thought that he was not good at riding, and wanted to laugh at him, and suddenly there was a whooshing sound, and the rest of them all fell from their horses.

This trap was prepared for them by Tian Mu, in order to ensure concealment, they did not use guns, but used special crossbow arrows, the arrows were quenched with poison, as long as they were shot, there was basically no possibility of survival, in some special times, this primitive cold weapon is more effective than hot weapons.

Tian Mu asked the soldiers to check the situation of these unlucky eggs, and everyone made up for it. After solving the sentry, Xu Shuzheng commanded a large army and quietly rushed over, thousands of cavalry suddenly launched, and the horse's hooves fell on the ground, like countless iron hammers, fast and powerful.

The cavalry rushed into the ranch under the cover of night, and it was only then that the defenders of the ranch had just reacted, and they hurried out of the yurt to see what was going on.

Before they could figure out the situation, the cavalry units had already been killed, the bullets had already been fired, and the Outer Mongolian soldiers had been killed.

Xu Shuzheng commanded the troops, rushed directly into the barracks, and lit fires wantonly. It was autumn, the grass was yellow, and the fire was on fire, and soon the fire was out of control, and more and more soldiers were either killed in the fire or fled in confusion.

The training level of these Outer Mongolian soldiers has not caught up with Beiyang, and their equipment is even more rudimentary, and many of them simply do not have muskets, and still use sabers and other things. It was completely a rabble, and under the fierce onslaught of the army, they did not dare to resist at all.

Xu Shuzheng and the others easily defeated these guys and controlled the entire pastoral area, Tian Mu led people into the horse farm, and thousands of fat and strong animals were densely arranged. Autumn is the fattest time for horses, and there are tens of thousands of war horses in the entire horse farm.

If you want to carry out tasks in Outer Mongolia, sufficient war horses are indispensable, a cavalry needs at least two or three horses, and with so many war horses, not only can Xu Shuzheng's subordinates be equipped, but also thousands of war horses can be provided to the Feng army, which is really a big pie.

Xu Shuzheng has been in the center for many years, and his vision is broad, so he naturally will not stare at such a little war horse, after he took the ranch, he first found out all the official documents and accounts, he wanted to figure out what the purpose of this ranch was, and what he had done over the years.

After turning over these things, it didn't take long for them to open, and Xu Shuzheng's eyes almost burst into flames. Saiyin Shanda's ranch had two tasks, one was to provide war horses to the Mongol princes, and the other was to provide support to the Mongolian bandits, allowing them to harass the northeast and northwest of China, plunder the people, and attack the official army.

Among them, Baiyin Dajiao, Yaqian, Taoketaohu, Wutai, Babu Zabu and others have bought war horses here, and they have sent the looted funds here in exchange for more war horses. Sometimes they don't have enough money, so they plunder the population and exchange the Han people for war horses, and only three or five people can exchange them for one!

Seeing this, Xu Shuzheng couldn't help but be angry, these guys were so hateful, they actually treated people as livestock, and he didn't expect that the people in the border areas were so lowly that they didn't even have the value of a horse.

At this moment, someone ran over and reported to Xu Shuzheng: "Sir, we found a residence next to the livestock shed, there are more than 200 Han people in it, all of them have been captured as slaves, at least thousands of Han people have been sold here over the years, most of them have been tortured to death!" ”

Syllable!

Xu Shuzheng slammed the file in his hand to the ground, and said sharply: "Shoot all the captured prisoners, and leave no one behind!" ”

After Xu Shuzheng finished speaking, he continued to order: "In the future, remember that as long as you catch something related to the bandits, no one will be left!" (To be continued......)
