After staying on the grassland for a long time, the officers of the Renaissance Army had some wolf nature in them.
Wolves are very common animals on the grasslands.
It can be said that apart from humans, the second most dominant player in the entire grassland is wolves.
They are calm, fierce, cunning, and good at seizing opportunities. Once they seize the opportunity, they will show their perseverance.
Now Guan Fei is like a group of alpha wolves who have seized the opportunity.
The geographical location of this valley is very good, with several passages.
Also, none of the businessmen just now were out of tune.
In other words, the Rakshasa people don't know the situation here at all.
When the Rakshasa people bring livestock, they will not come all at once. After all, this is just a trading point.
As long as Guan Fei operates well and waits here, he will hopefully be able to eliminate the Cossack cavalry who sent the herds over in waves with more and less every time.
In this way, the Cossacks not only gave them cattle and sheep, but also human heads.
Just as he said, Guan Fei called Zhou Meng over. After some discussion, the two set up hidden sentry observation points at several surrounding commanding heights.
Then Er Dezi was asked to interrogate several businessmen and ask them if they had any code words for contact, so as to prevent the Cossacks who were delivering cattle and sheep from discovering any abnormalities.
The last step is to set up a hiding spot. With so many cavalry standing here, it is too conspicuous, so we have to find some hidden places to hide the troops.
Fortunately, the terrain here is hilly, and people can hide behind any hillside. The large number of livestock here can also help cover up the sound of war horses.
When ambushing, there must be people who take the back route to intercept. The Cossacks' horses run faster, so this detail cannot be ignored.
If someone were to run away, then these two or three hundred people would have no choice but to run away.
The main snipers were the soldiers of the dragoon company, while the rangers were still responsible for the interception mission.
Guan Fei also found some Don hippos from the herd for the rangers to put on. They should belong to the guards of those caravans.
At this time, the Ranger who had changed horses was getting familiar with his new partner.
Guan Fei selected thirty soldiers with the best marksmanship from the dragoons, dismounted and ambush them on the hillsides on both sides of the trading point, hiding themselves.
At that time, when the Cossack cavalry who came to hand over the livestock arrived at the trading point, they were first sniped and killed by gunners ambushing on the hillside. Then the dragoons ambushing behind the hillside came out to hunt down the fleeing Cossack cavalry.
In the end, Zhou Meng's ranger company came out from their rear in batches to complete the final interception mission.
If you want to exploit this trap, you must not let the news out.
The soldiers began their own preparations, and Er Dezi was doing the work of several Rakshasa merchants.
These people serve as decoys and are very important to the entire operation.
Er Dezi was a clever man who was very good at observing people's actions. He helped the Fuxing Army select the three or four most greedy and fearful of death among the seven or eight Rakshasa merchants.
Then, of course, there was a lot of coercion and inducement.
All these merchants need to do is lead these Cossack cavalry to the trading point from a distance.
The trading point is the ambush point.
The ambush gunners began digging their own foxholes on the hillside. They also had to set up shelters around the foxholes.
Fortunately, there are not no trees on the slopes of Tangnu Ulianghai. Although the trees here are not very tall, there are many shrubs.
The Tangnuula Mountains in the south make the precipitation here much more abundant than the east side of the Mobei Grassland.
So the vegetation here is more lush.
This is why Qi Bin is planning to place this area under the direct jurisdiction of the Chinese government, because the environment here is very suitable for establishing farms and mechanized pastures.
Mechanized pastures must be established on tall grass grasslands with relatively abundant water.
The so-called mechanized pasture is to be able to plant and harvest forage on a large scale.
This eliminates the need for livestock to roam freely.
The short-grass grasslands in arid areas can only meet the needs of nomads. If they are overgrazed, they will easily become desertified.
There are many places where grasslands have been degraded into deserts due to the development of animal husbandry in later generations.
Guan Fei's trap has been laid.
After waiting for a long time, their first wave of prey finally arrived.
Thirty Cossack cavalrymen are approaching here driving hundreds of cattle and sheep.
Before these Cossacks entered the valley, they saw several merchants waving to them.
They quickly shouted at the herd and moved towards the valley faster.
These Cossacks ride on tall Don horses, with black camisole and red military uniform jackets.
Haha, such an obvious goal.
The soldiers lurking in foxholes on the hillside clutched their rifles tightly, the bullets already loaded.
They are waiting for their prey to walk into their crosshairs.
Behind the hillside, the cavalry were soothing their mounts to keep them quiet. They were in a state of readiness.
This is not the first time for these thirty Cossacks to come to this trading point.
They had been here once before. This meant that they not only slaughtered a tribe.
The current batch of goods was obtained by a fleeing tribe that they attacked last night.
They were in a hurry to exchange good things and go back. The company's wine was almost finished, so the company commander asked them to buy some wine from a merchant.
Although the wine here is extremely expensive.
They must go back as soon as possible, otherwise the Mongolian women captured by the company will be disabled.
"These damn businessmen! A bunch of vampires lying on the army." The Cossack soldiers saw the three businessmen with stiff smiles from a distance and couldn't help cursing in their hearts.
At this moment, a bullet whizzed past and passed through the neck of a Cossack cavalry, and blood instantly shot out from the aorta in his neck.
As if it was a signal, "bang bang bang" gunfire sounded.
The Cossack cavalry on tall horses were perfect targets. Each Cossack cavalry was knocked off their horses in panic.
The surrounding time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Three Tsarist Russian businessmen squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands in fear, hiding under the bellies of the animals.
It was as if they themselves were the ones killing.
After dozens of seconds, time seemed to return to normal.
The remaining Cossack cavalry pulled the reins of the horses on one side and forced the horses to turn around. Then they rode their horses and squeezed out from the pile of running livestock.
They looked around in horror, whipped the Don hippo severely with their riding whips, and prepared to escape from this place temporarily.
Their fear did not come from death. In fact, these Cossack cavalry were very brave.
Their panic was because they had not seen an enemy. The bullets were fired from the bushes on the hillside.
At this moment, a group of cavalry finally emerged from behind the hillside. These cavalry were wearing bright-green military uniforms.
The troops wearing such uniforms, they had heard from their commanders, were the main enemies of this eastward advance.
The force that occupied Tsarist Russia's Far East wore colorful military uniforms.
But they shouldn't be here!
However, there may not be another army in the world using this strange variegated military uniform.
There were thirty people when we came, but now there are only a dozen left.
The cavalry team that appeared on the road consisted of hundreds of people.
The Cossacks weighed their options, hit their horses and continued running towards the road they came from.
The pursuers raised their carbines and fired at them from a long distance.
Several wailing sounds were heard, and several people fell off their horses.
The opponent used a rifled gun, several Cossack cavalrymen thought.
This news must be spread back. This is their mission.
Please God bless everyone to be able to get out of this damn place.
The remaining Cossack cavalry thought in their hearts.
The remaining Cossack cavalry fled with all their might.
However, another group of Mongolian cavalry wearing red breastplates appeared in front of them.
These Mongolian cavalry blocked their way.
The remaining ten Cossacks were attacked from both sides in the valley and could only choose one direction to break out.
They obviously chose the Mongols in front.
These Cossack cavalry despise the Mongols deep down.
They felt that the Mongolian cavalry were weak persimmons.
Even though the Mongolian cavalry in front of me looks very elite, elite means that their equipment is very good.
However, the Cossacks still looked down upon their fighting prowess. The lost courage could not be made up for by equipment.
Facing the number of rangers ten times their own, these Cossacks raised their carbines resolutely. One of them must go back to report the news, otherwise more Cossacks would die in the trap of these people.
The two sides passed each other, wearing the same lances and breastplates.
The Cossacks are indeed more powerful, but the gap between them has been narrowing.
Several rangers exchanged their lives for their lives, and fell off their horses almost at the same time as these Cossacks. Most of them did not die, but they just took them off their horses with their lances pressed against their breastplates.
At this time, the numerical advantage of the Rangers became apparent. The Rangers on horseback thrust down their carbines one after another.
Several Cossack cavalrymen who fell off their horses were instantly stabbed into honeycomb briquettes.
The first wave of prey has been harvested successfully.
Guan Fei directed the soldiers to clean the battlefield. This connection point should not leave so much bloody smell, otherwise the enemy would discover it next time. But it was already late and the sun had already set.
Some rangers were sent to the valley to sort out the livestock. Today Guan Fei invited soldiers from two companies to eat meat.
The most indispensable thing in the valley now is cattle and sheep.
Handling livestock is an essential skill for Mongolian men. Today they can eat meat openly, and the soldiers can continue hunting only after they have eaten and drank enough.
It was getting dark, and it was estimated that no more prey would come today. Guan Fei sat on the hillside and looked at the camp in the valley through the afterglow of the setting sun.
The soldiers caused a big disaster. Large pieces of cow meat were cut off from the animals and put directly into the pot.
This is the time to prepare the meat.
Half of the soldiers were still on guard around the area. Even at night, we couldn't completely rule out someone coming.
In the south of Tangnu Ulianghai, Gao Yun was on his way with a cavalry brigade of more than 10,000 people and the coalition forces of Tushetu Khan.
After receiving Guan Fei's report, Gao Yun asked his cavalry to speed up their march.
On the way, we met fleeing herdsmen, and we just sent people to tell them to go south to graze their cattle.
He himself led the army and hurried on. The news about Guan Fei made him hatch a big plan in his mind.
If the enemy's main force in the middle is only 30,000 people.
Then Gao Yun believes that Lin Wei will be able to defeat this enemy in Yuehu.
Lin Wei also has an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people. If he is just waiting for work, he should be able to defeat Tsarist Russia's army.
As for the northern route, there is no need to worry. If the 10,000 Tsarist Russian troops go to the Far East, they will just deliver food.
After destroying the two thousand Cossack cavalry in front of me, I no longer have to worry about the Tsarist Russian army coming to kill me.
Moreover, the president has sent reinforcements north, so there is no need for his more than 10,000 men to go back to defend.
So they rode a brigade and now became a new force.
The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap!
Gao Yun is more stable than Teng Ziquan, but this does not mean that he does not have an adventurous spirit.
Gao Yun is holding a map of East Asia in his hand. The north of this map reaches directly to the North Pole. The west reaches the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea.
In Gao Yun's sight, two rivers extended from the Tangnu Uliang Sea to the North Pole.
One of these two rivers is called the Iniesei River, which became the Yenisey River in later generations, and the other is called the Ob River, which became the Ob River in later generations.
These two rivers are the two most important rivers in western Siberia.
The lower reaches of the Ob River are already very close to the Ural Mountains.
There are a large number of stars marked along the river, which represent the strongholds of the Tsarist Russians.
The largest of these strongholds have a population of tens of thousands, while the smallest ones only have a few thousand.
Now that the last troops in Siberia have been mobilized, what if I bring more than 10,000 cavalry in?
Thinking of this, Gao Yun's heart seemed to have blood boiling.
He found Ges'er, and under his command, there were four thousand cavalry who followed Gao Yun.
"Gers, I have an idea. These two thousand Cossacks were massacred on the grassland. It would be easy for us to kill them. But I don't want to let them get away with it. Why don't we kill the Rakshasa people?
?”
"I heard that this place used to be a pasture for the Mongols. You see, these two big rivers flow out of the grassland. We can kill all the way along the big rivers and we won't even get lost."
Gers doesn't talk much, but he has a very bright mind.
After listening to Gao Yun's words, his eyes lit up. He wanted to fight against the Rakshasa people. If this thing was successful, Ges'er would also be able to become famous among the Mongols. After all, he was also helping those Tangnu Wulianghai who died tragically.
The Mongols took revenge.
"General Gao, I listen to you. Wherever you go to fight, Ge'er will follow you with his Tuxie Tubu'erlang." Ge'er expressed his attitude.
In fact, before leading the troops out, Ges'er had received instructions from the old Khan to obey the Fuxing Army's arrangements for all operations abroad.
He wrote a report about his plan and sent it to Qi Bin. Then he led his men and continued on their way through the night.
Since you want to make a big deal, you must seize the time. Take advantage of the Tsarist Russian army's attack.
In the north, Khristenko led the main force of nearly 30,000 Russian Siberian troops to approach Irkutsk.
There were some destroyed small strongholds along the way. After looking at them, Khristenko felt angry in his heart.
They also saw some herdsmen grazing here. The livestock were grazing on the grass in the farmland originally opened by the Tsarist Russians.
The nomads will not let go of the pastures occupied by any tribesmen. What's more, the Tsarist Russians occupied the most abundant places with water and grass.
The indigenous people of Siberia were driven by Tsarist Russia to the most barren places to suffer from cold and starvation.
Since the Tsarist Russians in these strongholds were wiped out by the Baath Army, these people have quietly returned and reestablished their homes in these places.
The appearance of the army led by Khristenko interrupted their way of rebuilding their homeland.
These people's thinking is very simple.
But now it is impossible for them to retreat.
Khristenko issued a kill order for the herdsmen and indigenous people who appeared here.
The Cossack cavalry guarding the flanks of the army carried out the governor's orders well.
The few human settlements that appeared in these places disappeared again.
The Second Cavalry Brigade has also discovered this army but they have not shown up yet.
The main force of the Renaissance Army is mainly east of Yuehu Lake.
The west is now desolate.
The Second Brigade only needs to monitor these Russians and not go south.
The target of these Tsarist Russians seems to be the Renaissance Army to the west of Moon Lake.
Khristenko saw Irkutsk, which was also burned. He did not stay. The originally nomadic Mongols here survived because Teng Ziquan sent people to inform them.
Khristenko led his troops around Moon Lake from the south bank and continued eastward. The collision between the two sides was about to begin.
