Chapter 1222: Battle
The mighty cavalry team has already set off.
Nai Rentai and Zhang Yong each led a team of troops as pioneers and spyed first.
Everyone rode three horses.
Although the explosive power of Mongolian horses is not enough, they can be defeated by hard work.
The climate in the north of Mo, especially the deep in Mobei, is extremely cruel.
And these horses have evolved for thousands of years and have become accustomed to this.
The Tatars and Jurchens who accompanied them were carefully selected. They seemed not afraid of the cold. Even so, they were still covered in thick leather jackets and were wearing warm wool inside.
When handing out sweaters, many Mongolians and Jurchens cried.
Some people may wear leather jackets that have been roughly processed for life. They may wear leather jackets for life and have been involved in Xingfu Group. This group not only distributes salt, tea, and distributes horses, but also wears new clothes.
Not only that, each of them also carried a knife. The knife was made of fine steel, which was completely different from their iron lumps. Such knives may not be able to possess such knives even the Mongolian and Jurchen nobles in the past.
But now, it’s like everyone has a handful of money.
In addition, there are bullet bags, specially used to carry gunpowder, revolver guns, two handfuls per person, and only on the waist.
Along the way, they need to practice the use of short guns.
This thing is too simple. Although it takes time to load gunpowder and bullets, it can be fired six times at a time and it will be very pleasant to shoot it out.
More than a hundred students from the Military Academy were organized into the team and taught their companions how to charge medicine, how to use it during combat. These are the experiences accumulated by the trainees from the Military Academy after repeated practice in Xishan.
The three horses, except for one camel carrying rations and supplies, are specially used for transfers.
The more you go north, the colder it becomes. Sometimes it snows heavily for a day or two.
But these Tatars and Jurchens who had long been accustomed to the severe cold did not care about this.
Wang Shouren has suffered all kinds of hardships and is very strong. In addition to leading the team all the way, he also needs to draw a map along the way and think about the upcoming battle.
Of course, none of these is necessary, it is necessary to formulate a suitable tactic.
Only Xiao Jing was trembling with cold. When she was getting off the horse and resting at noon, Xiao Jing turned to the corner to pee. There were immediately more than a dozen eyes quietly hid behind the cedar not far away and looked curiously.
Whether it is the Han people, the Jurchens or the Tatars, humans are also full of curiosity.
Then, Xiao Jing screamed.
Behind the cedar, a Tatar muttered excitedly: "I just said that they were squatting, they were squatting."
Hearing the scream, Wang Shouren hurried over.
Those who hid behind the cedars were all trembling.
They are not afraid of dead eunuchs like Xiao Jing.
For them, no eunuch or Dongchang Mansion has any intimidation.
But they were afraid of Wang Shouren. When they saw Wang Shouren, they were like mice seeing cats.
I thought Xiao Jing was going to complain, but Xiao Jing cried and said, "What the hell is this? What the hell is this? Let's just urinate. As soon as the pee came out, it froze into a popsicle stick. Oh my God, such a ghost weather, this ghost place..."
After cutting it, Xiao Jing couldn't accept it.
It is worth it for others to suffer, but when I think of this, Xiao Jing actually cried. After he had finished xx, he would suffer.
Wang Shouren: “…”
He patted Xiao Jing on the shoulder: "Go and have a few sips of wine to warm up your body."
"Boan." Xiao Jing was actually grateful to Wang Shouren: "You are so nice to us. In the past... did I misunderstand you?"
"No misunderstanding." Wang Shouren said: "I have never been a likable person."
Xiao Jing was actually a little moved.
No matter what, in this lonely desert, there was only Wang Shouren, who took him as an eunuch seriously.
At least, he and Wang Shouren can still communicate.
Those damn Tartars and barbarians don’t understand nothing.
He let out a sigh, stepped on the snow, leaving footprints, and breathed white breath in his mouth, because tears just now flowed on his cheeks, and even the face was prickly, and a layer of frost condensed.
He sighed: "We never expected to suffer such a crime in our life, but... so what? We didn't serve the emperor well. In the past, the emperor wanted to be a successful emperor. He did a good job. We... only had a few skills, but we were still serving us well. But now, Your Majesty's heart has changed. He wants to have the achievements of Qin Emperor and Han Wu, but we... still have the same skills. No wonder Your Majesty treats us..."
Speaking of this, he cheered up: "We must also gain some skills. When we meet the Ross people, don't stop us, we will smash their dog heads."
Wang Shouren said: "I won't stop you."
Xiao Jing: “…”
Xiao Jing suddenly felt bored. Wang Boan was a person who could always talk to death.
No wonder he is not likable.
I ate two sips of wine and some dry food.
Keep on the road.
Through maps and compass, they had already penetrated thousands of miles north of the desert.
Mongolians have left footprints here and are not unfamiliar with this place.
They found some scattered small tribes.
Most of these small tribes are "savages". In this cold environment, they only need a jerky meat and a little salt, which is enough to make them smile honestly at the large team carrying swords and treat each other with courtesy.
After asking about the specific location... and at this time... they finally knew the specific location of their enemies.
"Send people to attract the Ross."
The Ross built fortresses on the southern foot of the Ural Mountains.
Obviously... they regarded this fortress as their outpost to explore the east.
After repeatedly defeating the Siberian Mongolian tribes, they not only escaped from the control of the Mongols, but also became stronger and stronger after decades of conquest.
Perhaps because they were enslaved by the Mongols, they also have the genes that the Mongols continue to explore in their bones.
This fortress will become a springboard for advancing to the east.
Wang Shouren was very calm.
He doesn't like siege.
Because of the hasty arrival this time, the entire Mongolian and Jurchen coalition did not have enough heavy weapons to break the city. In this case, they could only seek a decisive battle.
"As long as they discover us, they will inevitably leave the castle and fight to the decisive battle." Wang Shouren said confidently: "After all, in their eyes, the Mongolians are no longer a problem. We can take advantage of this..."
Wang Shouren pointed to the white birch forests and said to Nairentai and others: "It's here... Although the forests here are sparse, they are not suitable for their formation. It's best to fight here to fight decisively, but the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated. They defeated us two months ago. Now... they will definitely not be cautious..."
"Send the order."
In the sky, snow fluttered. In the strong wind, Wang Shouren shouted: "Everyone should rest immediately and wait for it!"
…………
The weather is so cold.
A dozen Ross people laughed wildly, and they pressed a white bear to the ground.
The innocent white bear struggled desperately on the ground, and then the drunk Ross man held the wine bottle, opened the stopper, and poured the wine from the bottle into the white bear's mouth.
The white bear was panting. Although it had its sharp teeth and thick bear paws, it seemed that it did not dare to act fiercely. It looked like it was a small resignation, but it was just a cry of grievance.
It was covered in scars and obviously had been beaten a lot, so its animal nature was destroyed, allowing these Ross people to bully it.
A few bottles of wine were poured into the white bear's stomach, and the white bear screamed even more violently.
The Rose man who was filling the wine laughed wildly, raised the remaining wine in the bottle and poured it into his mouth.
This is an unfinished castle.
So much so that the officers and soldiers had to set up tents in the nearby forest with grievances.
It was cold and some people set up an iron pot on the ground, ignited tin oil to heat up the water in the pot, and some people sat in the big pot and took a naked bath.
The nobleman held a whip in his hand and broke up a group of playful soldiers, then returned to the warm large account room.
And here, a well-dressed nobleman was wearing a Swedish military uniform, brave and upright, with one hand on his waist and listening to the report.
The country of Ross spans China and the West. Because of this, they are as barbaric as Mongolians, but at the same time, they also absorb traditions from the West.
This beautiful dress is the hand of a skilled craftsman in Sweden.
After the death of Ivan III of the Kingdom of Ross, Vasily III succeeded to the throne, and this great duke was the son of the princess of the Byzantine Empire.
Therefore, Vasily IV was gradually not satisfied with the title of ruler of all Russia, and hoped to become emperor in the name of the Eastern ruler by virtue of the Byzantine Empire.
The young nobleman was Andre, the close minister of Vasily IV.
Andrei represented the Grand Duke and came to inspect here. Sooner or later, the Mongols east of the Ural Mountains would be the most important troubles of the Ross people in the future. Therefore, it was the mission entrusted by the Grand Duke to Andrei to seize the vast land of the East and spread the influence of the Orthodox Church to the East in the name of the Orthodox guardians.
This castle has been built for half a year. In order to maintain the construction, there are also this army from the southeast of the Ural Mountains. The supplies transported from the West are amazing, but all this is worth it. Although the weather here is bad, as long as the castle is built, the country of Ross can go deeper into the East in the future.
Andrei expressed his dissatisfaction with the progress of the project at this time.
Other aristocrats accompanying him said that this was because they encountered an attack from the Mongols a few days ago.
But at this moment, someone came hurriedly: "We discovered the Mongols, and there were thousands."
All of a sudden, everyone was cheered up.
Andre opened his eyes and he subconsciously became excited: "What are they here to do?"
"fighting."
