We drove straight for more than 300 kilometers without any large-scale battles. We encountered a larger tribe of herdsmen with only a thousand people. From a distance, Oyumiko's gentle voice expressed her goodwill, and we actually traded some meat and milk with the herdsmen.
To replenish food, there are also blind horse bandits attacking at night, but of course they come to kill people.
There were also herdsmen who were afraid to offer cattle and sheep, and Lu Ming gave him a similar amount of money, which was naturally much cheaper than in the mainland, but the price was much higher than that of the merchants who were issued licenses by Ma Quanyou to collect cattle and sheep from the herdsmen. Herdsmen
We are grateful.
At night, we rested near a wetland. More than 30 miles northwest of here is Geri City, one of the three ancient cities in the grassland.
Gericheng is the largest settlement in the Lanyuan tribe, with a population of about 10,000.
Grassland tribes used to migrate with water and grass, but two to three hundred years ago, they gradually formed fixed places for trade, religious activities, etc., and noble groups gradually liked to settle in these prosperous trade places, in the east, central and
The three largest commercial centers in the west are the three ancient cities of the grassland, which are also the largest gathering points of the Lanyuan tribe, the Huangyuan tribe and the Hongyuan tribe of Ma Quanyou.
…
The stars twinkled, the entire sky seemed to be overhead, and the night sky over the prairie was extremely beautiful.
Except for the sentry, the rest of the soldiers were resting on the spot with no clothes on, but they were all issued simple sleeping bags with a plastic sheet as the bottom.
This made the Japanese soldiers feel very fresh. In fact, Lu Ming was deeply influenced by his previous life. His combat philosophy was to allow the soldiers to rest as well as possible if conditions allowed, so that they could be active and active during the battle.
Lu Ming sat on the tracks of an armored vehicle and looked at the military map in his hand. There was a small red dot on it, which was his current position.
Company deputy Wang Dayong sat next to him, while Ma Chinuer was pacing not far away.
"Have a rest tomorrow. Airborne supplies will arrive. Let's collect them. At nine o'clock, you will send people to extend the cordon as far as possible to prevent the airdropped supplies from being picked up by herdsmen." When Lu Ming spoke, Wang Dayong
He nodded repeatedly, although he felt strange, but he didn't use the communications troops to contact the airborne supplies?
The main airdrop is fuel, and armored vehicles have generally used fuel from auxiliary tanks.
We did not bring a tanker this time to avoid becoming a key target. There was only one truck loaded with more than a dozen barrels of diesel. It was also well disguised, but as a strategic material to save our lives, it could not move easily.
Lu Ming took out a pack of cigarettes. This body looked majestic, but overall he had the temperament of a rough man. He was short in stature, had taut muscles, and was addicted to smoking. He didn't know if it was because of the suppressed resistance to smoking in his body.
After the toxins of dependence are eliminated, I don’t know how it turned into tobacco addiction.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming put the cigarette back. It was better to quit if he could. Although he felt like a shell, smoking or not smoking would not affect his physical skills at all.
The walkie-talkie next to me suddenly buzzed, "Boss, I'm at post number three, and there's an envoy from Richeng coming."
"Huh? Let them come over." Lu Ming responded.
Yesterday, the airship went for reconnaissance. There were no signs of large-scale migration of herdsmen in the city. In the evening, Ma Chinuer took people to investigate, but they also found no changes in the city.
There was no ambush as they approached, nor did the two troops come to support Richeng, nor did Richeng escape. I didn't know what kind of medicine Lan Yuan was selling in the gourd, so the messenger came.
On the day of the expedition, the main thing was the Austrian-Vietnam Brigade.
Because the main force of Ma Quanyou is now in the Wudao Plain area in northern Xinjiang that he occupies.
The Second Infantry Division and the Black Bird Troops are watching his movements. If he returns to his home base and defends, they will find a way to fight with him on the grassland.
But there are no signs of large-scale mobilization of Ma Quanyou's troops yet.
In fact, from this point of view, the Austrian-Vietnamese Brigade is indeed cannon fodder to lure the enemy. If Ma Quanyou's main force returns to support, before the arrival of the 2nd Infantry Division, the Austrian-Vietnamese Brigade will have to face the main force of Ma Quanyou. The task is also to hold back its main force. It must be
A bloody battle.
Maybe it would be safer in an armored vehicle.
While Lu Ming was thinking about it, two wolf cavalry led an old man in a prairie cloth robe over. They had already searched him, but the two wolf cavalry were still standing on the left and right and could restrain him at any time.
Seeing Lieutenant Lu Ming's rank, the old man hesitated, "Sir, are you leading the army this time?"
Lu Ming smiled: "You are here to seek peace, right? You can tell me first. If the conditions are not passed by me, then there is no need to see my boss."
The old man had no choice but to say: "Sir, my name is Yangdianzi, and I am here to negotiate peace with your army on behalf of our clan leader Yangduluo, because my clan has no enmity with your army, and the one your army is conquering is Ma Quanyou..."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "Ma Quanyou is the most powerful cavalry division. Your clan also has three thousand soldiers in it, right?"
The old man coughed: "These can all be discussed. Our clan can summon the clan members to return..."
Lu Ming waved his hand again to interrupt him, "Six generals from your clan have become defendants of crimes against humanity along with Ma Quanyou. How can the remaining low-level officers and soldiers have done less evil?"
The old man's heart trembled, "What do you mean by your army?"
Lu Ming pondered and said: "Whether Ma Quanyou's cavalry division is a descendant of your clan or not, it has nothing to do with your clan now. If your clan opens the city and surrenders, the city of Richeng will be spared the disaster of weapons."
"I need to report this to the clan leader." The old man was a little unwilling to give up. "Sir, would you like to listen to my conditions and report it to your officer?"
Lu Ming waved his hand: "No need. What I just said is a prerequisite for us not to launch an attack on Gericheng. Otherwise, do you think our army has traveled more than 600 miles just to play house with you?"
The old man was silent. After a while, he said, "Okay, I will report back to the clan leader."
Before coming here, the tribe had negotiated many favorable conditions and felt that the peace negotiation would be successful. Of course, there was no peace negotiation and they would surrender to the Principality of Montenegro, but it would be a relatively good result.
After all, it is obvious that if the Principality of Montenegro intervenes in the war in northern Xinjiang, the alliance between Ma Quanyou and Chen Xingchang will inevitably fail.
A force that completely drove the Japanese out of the Northern Territory. Even if there were twists and turns in the process, there shouldn't be any surprises in defeating the Ma Quanyou Alliance in the end.
Even if there are benefits from the grassland, Ma Quanyou can return it.
However, the Lanyuan tribe is closest to the area of the Central Continent people. Just as the Central Continent people are now going deep into the grasslands, regardless of whether they can capture Ma Quanyou's lair, our own tribe will inevitably suffer first.
Simply, as before, just submit to the people of Zhongzhou.
But they didn't expect that the Zhongzhou people obviously meant that Ma Quanyou's main cavalry division, including the three thousand soldiers of their own clan, must be annihilated, and they would not accept the surrender of any part of this army.
Those three thousand disciples are the youngest warriors of the clan. How could the clan leader abandon them?
But the categorical conditions proposed by a young lieutenant from Central Continent were obviously the bottom line for the Black Mountain people, so he dared to repay the clan leader without even communicating with his superiors.
The old man sighed, turned and left.
Over there, company deputy Wang Dayong looked at his back and said to Lu Ming: "Company commander, are you with the brigade..."
Lu Ming shook his head: "No need, we just do our best and prepare to attack."
