    Zhang Zongchang spent a lot of money on this battle.

    Fengjun has been regularized. If his army has no further achievements, it will definitely be abolished.  The Zhifeng and Feng families in Guan Nei are temporarily in a state of balance. The northwest has a lot to do, but it is under the personal command of the young marshal, and it continues smoothly.  With the pedigree of those in the People's Party, they will definitely not welcome a group of rough guys like themselves.  This banditry in Belarus is my last card. If I lose, I have nothing, but if I win, I have a bright future.

    He is a good gambler, otherwise there would be no "Pai Gow General" in official history.  Of course, to be able to win at the gambling table, he still has a plan: his troops are basically born with beards, have banditry, and are not afraid of death; they are all proficient in riding skills, and they are not inferior to the White Russian soldiers in cavalry combat; as long as  After annihilating the White Russian army, you can save your life with this credit and even have the opportunity to lead an army alone. The lost troops can be made up for later, while the White Russian army will lose one by one.

    So he was ready to show off before he came, but when he came to Mongolia he found that the People's Army had already taken the lead.  If he waits until the reinforcements arrive, he will basically have nothing to do, or there will be fewer opportunities to perform, which is very different from his original intention.  Therefore, he wanted to defeat the White Army before reinforcements arrived to give himself a foundation to establish himself.

    Especially since the White Russians were newly defeated and had lost all their energy, as long as he desperately broke through their first blockade, based on his understanding of the White Russians, it would definitely be a chasing and fighting situation.

    It needs to be mentioned that Zhang Zongchang also recruited many Belarusian officers and soldiers. As a result of his interaction with them, he knew exactly what these Belarusian soldiers were thinking: speculation and cherishing their lives.

    The reason for speculation is that these people were originally dissatisfied with the rule of the Red Soviets and rebelled against the country. After several years of poverty, they were corrupted and won over by various figures with money, and they became a mercenary army that was willing to take care of the country.  Loyalty loses faith.  Without faith, it is naturally difficult to be loyal.  When fighting against the wind, you are extremely brave, but when you are defeated, you will be completely defeated.

    So he bet that he would win this battle and get recognition from the young commander, so he was full of confidence.

    Li Du has tried his best, but he can't stop Zhang Zongchang from underestimating his enemy and his dream.  But as a comrade, he still arranged to move food and fodder from the trading city to the friendly forces for logistical work.  The emperor had a tradition of feeding hungry soldiers and prisoners, so he wanted this army to be well fed and drunk no matter what.

    What surprised him was that many officers and soldiers were dissatisfied when they saw the steamed buns, pickles and sliced ??meat. Many people were shouting in unintelligible words, which surprised him.  Only through translation did I find out that these Russian-speaking officers and soldiers were clamoring for wine!

    We are about to go to the battlefield, do we want to go strong?  You must know that in the regulations of the People's Army, it is not only traditional to prohibit drinking during battles, but also in peacetime, alcohol is absolutely prohibited in the military camp.

    Zhang Zongchang chuckled and said: "It's okay. These White Russian soldiers are so bold after drinking. They don't make a sound on the battlefield even if they have missing arms or legs. If they are hit by bullets, they will still rush forward as long as they can breathe. If you don't give them alcohol, then  Stop fighting, or you will get into chaos first."

    As the name suggests, the Trading City is a place for trading. Furs and wool products are important commodities for Russia, while tea and wine are the most popular items for China. These items are even easier to buy than steamed buns and pickles.  But drinking on the eve of a war is a bit of a joke.  This is war, you will lose your head!

    Li Du was doubtful. He knew that the Russian old man was addicted to alcohol, but he didn't want to believe that he was also addicted to law during the war.  However, looking at Zhang Zongchang's confident look, he didn't say much more. He ordered the defenders to bring wine, and if they didn't have enough, they would buy it from merchants. He should just send these drunkards off. After all, they were also a kind-hearted rescue force. This was a courtesy.  Can't lose it.

    I don¡¯t want these people to die after seeing the wine.  The Chinese ones are better, while the Russian ones always raise their necks to pick up the wine jar and pour it into their stomachs, as if they were picking up treasures.  Many people drink it to the end, and then wipe their mouths with a satisfied look. They don't know if they are drunk or the refreshing nectar after a long drought.

    Can such an army fight?  Li Du and the others were stunned as if they were looking at a living treasure.  Come on, it's better for us to hold on to the trading city. Maybe tomorrow there will be news that this group of people has been wiped out. We can't count on them.

    After drinking and eating, Zhang Zongchang convened a large group of military leaders for a pre-battle mobilization meeting. With only a few words, he excited these people's blood: "Brothers, we will pursue the Asian Cavalry Division later.  Everyone must fight hard for me in this battle. If we fight well, the young marshal will be happy, and we will have wine every time. If we are defeated, we will go wherever we go. Anyway, I have no shame to see the marshal or the marshal again.  .¡±

    ??His words were spoken by the translators accompanying the army in Russian, Japanese, and an unknown language, which immediately aroused the bloody spirit of the group of people.  After conveying the news to his subordinates respectively, various strange sounds such as "Ula" and "Who is the skeleton" (charge, kill) were heard from far and near, which was very similar to the noise of the Conference of Nations.

    Under the mixed gazes of the merchant city defenders, thousands of miscellaneous troops mounted their horses.  Those who drank a little were quite neat, but those who drank a lot couldn't help but shake their heads, and a few even fell off their horses, but they soon got up again, cursing.

    Relying on such a group of people to fight against the famous White Army on the Siberian Plateau?  God knows how many will come back!  Li Du watched Zhang Zongchang whip away with a feeling of sadness for his misfortune and anger for his inability to fight, silently thinking about the impact on the war situation after the entire army was wiped out.

    At the same time, at the mouth of the Egg River and Segeleng River, a hundred miles away from the trading city, Baron Wen Ganlun, the head of the Asian Cavalry Division, and his assistant Lie Zuxin were nervously inquiring about the background of this new force from afar.  Unexpectedly, they were defeated first by the Merchant City and then by the Soviet Army. What they feared most during the expedition was not the loss of morale and the lack of logistical supplies after the defeat, but the occlusion of the current situation, especially in this unfamiliar place.  area.

    If this army assists in the defense of Buying City, combined with the news that the Marshal has mobilized two heavy cavalry divisions from northwest China to enter Mongolia, it will be known that they have little hope of returning calmly.

    It is already so difficult to buy and sell cities, let alone Kulun, which is an important town in Mongolia.  The convenient transportation between the two places can block the passage of his own army at any time.  Even if he fights his way out, he will still face the threat of Fengjun from the Northeast when he returns, which is too costly.

    "Still according to the previous plan, if we can't retreat, we will march to western Inner Mongolia, meet up with the black lama entrenched in Mazong Mountain, and wait for an opportunity to enter Xinjiang. The Chinese army there is weak and is developing. It is also a good channel to threaten Soviet Russia." This is  Wen Ganlun is cheering. Although he suffered two consecutive defeats, as the coach, he cannot be discouraged.

    "I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in the vast Gobi Desert. We are not familiar with the road conditions here. If we get lost, it will be difficult to ensure the logistics of these thousands of people just relying on local supplies." Assistant Lie Zuxin who plays a staff role put forward this  Doubt, today's battle gave him for the first time depressing thoughts about his future.

    "It's okay. Before entering Mongolia, Chief Semenov has sent people to contact Bashichi, Kegorodov, Kazantsev and others in western Mongolia. They will work with us to deal with the yellow monkeys in Xinjiang.  I have just sent someone to contact you, and there should be news soon."

    "Oh", Lie Zuxin's eyes lit up.  With the leading party, he will be more confident. No matter how strong the Chinese military force is, they can't use it in western Inner Mongolia. This is not suitable for large groups of people to fight. It is the battlefield where the cavalry shows its power.

    However, they did not wait for the arrival of the messenger. Instead, the sentry in the distance hurriedly reported a major news: the newly added cavalry unit of the People's Army was rushing towards their station, and the forward line was less than twenty miles away.

    Wen Ganlun was furious.  The Cossack cavalry has hundreds of years of fine historical tradition. In the cold weapon era, it had never been defeated by anyone in frontal combat.  Even in today's battle, we were defeated because we used siege tactics that we were not good at against the defenders who had strong artillery.  The Chinese don't know the heights of the world. Do they really think that their Asian cavalry division, which is famous in the Northeast, is a soft persimmon?  They abandoned their solid fortresses and insisted on engaging in mobile warfare, so let us avoid the shame of two defeats today and rekindle our morale!

    He shouted an order: "Everyone is here, gather immediately!"

    In fact, there was no need for him to give this order. The White Russian soldiers who had been fighting for a long time had already heard the thundering sound of horse hooves and had already arranged their battle formations.  In the time between the discovery of the outpost and the report, Zhang Zongchang's cavalry troops approached another ten miles.

    It¡¯s not that he can¡¯t keep up, but that Zhang Zongchang needs a stopping power.  The cavalry charge is very powerful, but it is also very energy-consuming.  Unlike human beings who have "one surge of energy, then it weakens, and three times it is exhausted", horses can never charge for a long time. After a long sprint of ten miles, the horses will basically lose their vigor. So when Genghis Khan  All Mongolian soldiers have at least three horses per man to save horse power.

    This gave the Belarusian bandits time to regroup. Zhang Zongchang didn't care about this. He had no intention of making a sneak attack in the first place.  According to the Russian's urine, if they defeat the opponent's attack head-on, they will basically lose the courage to fight again.  Although you will suffer heavy losses at the beginning, you will be in a situation of beating the drowned dog, that is, suppressing and chasing bandits, and you will have a lot of fun.

    After dozens of miles, the drunken soldiers were awakened by the cold wind and felt refreshed.  Ten miles away from the White Army camp, Zhang Zongchang ordered a short rest and made final preparations for the battle.

    Opposite, Wen Ganlun's soldiers have gathered and are on standby, waiting for this life-and-death battle to begin.  On the grassland, the most dangerous enemy of the cavalry force is another cavalry force. Without eliminating the other party, he cannot calmly advance towards Simon.

    This is an open ground, with flat land for dozens of miles around, and everything is clear, so there is no conspiracy to be used. Everyone relies on their own bravery, ability and luck, and is fair and just.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)nbsp; On the opposite side, Wen Ganlun's soldiers have gathered and are on standby, waiting for this life-and-death battle to begin.  On the grassland, the most dangerous enemy of the cavalry force is another cavalry force.
