Governor Guo Dalei arrived at the military camp and saw General Hong Han holding a swearing-in ceremony.
Pointing the flag to the north, the cavalry formed a neat formation and ran towards the north with one person and two horses.
The army's strict discipline stunned the Mongolian nobles who were observing the cavalry division near the military camp.
Tuxie Tuhan held the glowing official seal in his right hand, and he couldn't help but rub his burning right arm with his left hand.
Seeing the powerful strength of the cavalry division, he widened his eyes and thought to himself: "Our Mongolian cavalry is really not good anymore.
Weapons lag behind the Han people, and I didn’t expect that the cavalry also lags behind the Han people.”
He looked at the surrounding forces and found that once the Han conquered the Buryat tribe, their tribe's territory would be completely surrounded by Han forces.
He had been very confident before, believing that the Han people could at most adopt a check and balance approach and let the Mongolian tribes manage this grassland and desert.
This has been the case since ancient times, even the powerful Han and Tang Dynasties drove away the Huns and Turks.
They also quickly withdrew their troops and did not occupy the grassland.
The vast grasslands are still occupied by nomadic tribes.
It is precisely because of this that when they saw that the Han people were too powerful, they chose to surrender.
Tuxie Tuhan did not expect that the Han people actually lived on the grasslands and were not ready to leave. They wanted to settle here.
The little calculation he made before has completely lost its effect.
But now that the situation is stronger than humans, they must choose to lie dormant in order to have a chance to rise again.
As long as there is civil strife among the Han people and they are unable to control the grasslands, their descendants will inevitably take advantage of the situation.
Guo Dalei looked at the performance of these Mongolian nobles and found that he was no exception.
Our ancestors have long said that these people are like beasts, afraid of power but not moral.
As long as the Great China Empire controls absolute force, they will never dare to make mistakes.
Guo Dalei waited for Hong Han and arranged for all the cavalry divisions to go out.
He walked into the military camp, clasped his fists excitedly, and said, "General Hong Han, fortunately you have fulfilled your mission. I have collected all the materials your army needs."
Hong Han said happily: "Governor Guo, you have helped me a lot.
As long as there are no problems with logistics, the empire's cavalry will definitely win the war."
Guo Dalei looked at the now somewhat empty camp.
As a retired officer, he understood the composition of the army even if he was not familiar with the cavalry division.
Under normal circumstances, at least 30% of the logistics troops provide logistics supplies for the army.
The Dahua Empire mainly relies on firearms. Once the logistics is not smooth, the impact on the army will be extremely fatal.
The cavalry divisions of the Great China Empire do not rely on fighting to support fighting like the Mongolian cavalry and do not need logistical support.
The cavalry division of the Dahua Empire requires a large number of logistics troops to transport some necessary weapons and ammunition.
Guo Dalei asked doubtfully: "General Hong Han, your logistics troops are not strong enough!
How can a large amount of supplies be transported to the front line?"
When Hong Han heard Governor Guo Dalei's question, he smiled and said, "This is exactly why I was able to win the command of this army.
I proposed a method that would solve the logistical troubles without requiring the logistics department to transport supplies.
There are many small and medium-sized tribes in Mobei Province, and their pastures are not very good.
These tribes only need to send people to help our army transport supplies.
The captured Buryat grassland was distributed to these tribes.
In this way, we only need to transport the most important ammunition, and a large amount of supplies can be solved through the Mongolian tribes.
These people are local snakes and know the various roads in the grassland very well. They will not get lost on the grassland and can ensure that the supplies are delivered to the designated place on time."
When Guo Dalei heard Hong Han's plan, he stretched out his thumb and praised: "General Hong Han, this plan is really brilliant.
Small and medium-sized Mongolian tribes selected some young and middle-aged men to transport supplies.
Their tribe stayed in Mobei Province, and these people did not dare to rebel.
The territory you conquered in Buryatia, the unimportant core territory, can still be left to these small tribes for defense.
In order to protect the pastures belonging to their own tribe, they will definitely not be able to unite with the Buryat Mongols.
Leave this matter to me. When I was redistributing the grassland of the Mongolian tribes, many tribes were willing to pay any price for the grassland.
The grassland near Beihai is one of the locations of the nomadic tribe Longting. It is impossible for these tribes not to be tempted by high-quality grassland.
Small and medium-sized tribes do not have the strength to rebel against us.
They gain pasture and their strength will not expand dramatically."
Guo Dalei asked General Hong Han about various details.
He specially found the leaders of small and medium-sized tribes to inform them of the news.
When the leaders of small and medium-sized tribes heard that there was such a good thing, their eyes lit up.
How many cattle and sheep can be fed on the high-quality pasture near Beihai?
They had no share of this kind of high-quality farm before.
If the tribe really gets this high-quality pasture, they can easily expand into a large tribe.
The pastures of many tribes have been eroded by wind and sand.
Now that we can move to the north, we don't need to desperately capture the pasture. We only need to transport some supplies, and most tribes can complete the requirements.
The strength gap between the Great China Empire and Buryat Mongolia was too big, so they happily started to sign up.
The nobles of the large Mongolian tribe got the news.
They did not dare to resist openly and secretly warned these small and medium-sized tribes that they would not be allowed to do such things.
Some small and medium-sized tribes are afraid and find various reasons to shirk.
Many leaders of small and medium-sized tribes snorted coldly when they looked at these nobles of the large Mongolian tribes, and ignored them at all.
Some leaders of small tribes shouted: "Our tribe has received a piece of high-quality pasture, and all the tribesmen have moved to Beihai. Who will be afraid of big tribes like you?"
Grandpa will no longer accept your contempt from now on."
…………………………
Hong Han led his troops walking in the prairie. There were green pastures everywhere, instead of the large areas of withered and yellow pastures in Mobei.
The army was progressing smoothly, and the Buryat Mongolian tribesmen's cavalry was no match for them together.
A cavalry unit with all musketry, against cold weapon cavalry, the casualty ratio is easily thirty to one.
This was because the cavalry was not familiar with the terrain here in the North Sea and they were ambushed by the Buryat Mongolian cavalry.
A gust of cold wind blew past. The biting cold wind made Hong Han's face hurt.
He looked at Fan Yun, the chief of staff of the theater, and asked: "The weather is getting colder and colder now. It will snow here in Beihai soon. How are the soldiers' cotton-padded clothes prepared?"
Fan Yun said in a relaxed tone: "The staff knows that the winter here in Beihai is very cold, and our army in Heilongjiang has experience in surviving severe cold.
Soldiers wear a layer of woolen clothes and trousers, a layer of cotton coat and trousers, and a heavy cotton coat.
The soldiers were wrapped very tightly and could move outside even when the temperature was around minus 40 degrees Celsius.
It's 20 to 30 degrees below zero, so there's no problem fighting outside.
In severe cold weather, using a knife is very laborious, but using a gun is no problem at all.
But our army does not understand the situation of the snowstorm in the North Sea.
There has not yet been a heavy snowstorm here in the North Sea, so I think we should try our best to seize the opportunity and launch a general attack on Buryat Mongolia."
Hong Han nodded and said: "The time is ripe for a general attack. If we delay it any longer, when the winter storms and snow come, our army's combat effectiveness will drop sharply.
In the violent storm and snow, it was difficult to find traces of the enemy troops.
Our army must take advantage of this window period, seize the opportunity, and annihilate the main force of Buryat Mongolia.
The grassland we occupied was contested by small tribes in Mobei Province.
They have little to do with Buryat Mongolia and will definitely protect their tribe's property to the death.
Our army does not need to be distracted by defense and must gather all its strength to deliver a fatal blow to Buryat Mongolia."
Hong Han reached an agreement with Chief of Staff Fan Yun and others, and they sent a large number of exploration horses to search for traces of the main Buryat Mongolian force.
They also used weapons specially supported by the Logistics Department.
The soldiers secured three behemoths in the strong wind.
This is the latest purchase by the Logistics Department and the airship has just been tested.
They took out the gas tanks and filled the airship with hydrogen.
Current gas cylinders cannot withstand a lot of pressure, and an airship requires a lot of hydrogen.
Fan Yun said with emotion: "This is a hydrogen airship, it can stay in the air for a long time.
This kind of flying object is much more advanced than a hot air balloon.
But it is also very dangerous. If a spark flashes inside the airship, it will turn into a big fireball.
Before we use the airship, we must fill it with hydrogen to prevent it from causing an internal static explosion if it is used for too long.
If the height control fails and the airship flies too high, the airship will explode directly."
Hong Han watched the airship slowly take off into the sky. There was this secret weapon monitoring the entire battlefield in the sky.
He will definitely achieve a brilliant victory in this war.
Hong Han looked at the dark sky here in Beihai. He knew that time was running out. Once the blizzard came, they must have a truce.
This gave Buryat Mongolia the opportunity to mobilize reinforcements from various ministries for support.
The main force of Buryat Mongolia must be severely damaged before the blizzard comes.
In this way, Buryat Mongolia has only two choices: destruction or surrender.
…………………………
The Buryat Khan looked at the dejected people in the tribe.
He thought that here in Beihai, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, his tribe would be safe.
Even the Great Khan of Buryatia did not expect that the Han people from the Central Plains could actually reach Beihai.
They are a bit remote here and don't know much about the fighting power of the Han people.
When you first meet Han people, many of them are very confident.
They could not break through the Great Wall of the Han people, but how could they be suppressed by the Han cavalry on the grassland.
As soon as they came into contact with the Han cavalry, they suffered a huge defeat.
Even if they were wearing heavy armor, they could not defend themselves against the Han people's muskets.
The Buryat Khan regretted that he did not accept the kindness of other tribes in Khalkha Mongolia.
He drove all the lobbyists sent by these tribes out of the big tent.
The Buryat Khan said angrily: "Why are you mute now? You were so arrogant before that you didn't take the Han people seriously."
"The Great Khan is really unbeatable. I led a thousand tribal warriors to besiege more than 200 Han cavalry.
Our confrontation on the grassland ended quickly.
Only more than 300 corpses were left, and we shot and wounded a dozen people on the opposite side with bows and arrows.
The range of most bows and arrows is not as far as that of Han muskets.
They used ranger tactics and we had no ability to resist.
If this war continues, we will kill all the men in the tribe and the tribe will disappear on the grassland.
I think the tribe should avoid its edge and evacuate to a safe area first."
Other high-ranking tribesmen all supported the idea of retreat.
The Buryat Khan also wanted to retreat, but he just didn't say it out loud.
The Mongolian tribe sweats, just like the wolf king of the prairie wolves. If he shows any signs of depression, he will be expelled by the new wolf king.
He complied with the tribe's opinion and said: "What you said makes sense.
To the south is the Khalkha Mongolia, which has been occupied by the Han people.
To the west is the Wulianghai tribe, which has also been occupied by the Han people.
Running eastward, Heilongjiang is close to the Han people. We don't know the situation of the Han people there, and it is easy to fall into encirclement.
Our only option is to run north.
It’s just that it’s colder in the north, so we need to be prepared.
The wizard has asked Changsheng Tian for instructions, and there will be a snowstorm soon.
We headed north to avoid the pursuit of the Han people and waited until after the snowstorm.
The Han people are unable to cope with the severe cold here, which is our opportunity to show our talents.
Our ancestral land must never be handed over to the Han people."
The Buryat Khan revealed his plan and gained the support of the tribe.
They actually had another option, which was to surrender to the Han people, but no one mentioned this option.
Before the two armies fought, the Buryat tribe chose to surrender and received very good treatment.
After the two armies fought, their disadvantages were obvious.
If you choose to surrender now, it is impossible to get better treatment.
The Buryat tribes discussed the action plan, and they informed the tribesmen under their respective jurisdictions to take action.
Abandon the old and weak of the tribe and most of the cattle and sheep, and prepare to move the tribe to the north.
There was a cry among the Buryat tribe.
The eyes of many tribal warriors were red, and they were reluctant to leave their relatives.
They all know that the old and the weak stay in the tribal camp.
Even if there are a lot of cattle and sheep left, the end will definitely be very miserable.
The Buryat tribe is in some confusion now.
To the south and north of the tribe, several towering wolves suddenly rose into the clouds.
This is the method commonly used by Mongolian tribes to convey urgent military information.
The Buryat Khan put on armor and held a sharp scimitar.
He mounted his war horse, followed by tribal warriors who lined up neatly, preparing to deal with possible crises.
"Great Khan, it's bad, our tribe is surrounded by Han cavalry."
The Buryat Khan's face changed and he cursed angrily: "How can you people let the Han people touch our base?
Trash, you are all trash."
He raised his scimitar with his hand and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the tribe, in order to pass on the tribe to the next generation, please follow me to break out of the siege."
…………………………
Hong Han picked up the telescope and looked at the smoky battlefield ahead.
He implemented a small plan and used Wang Tieshi's cavalry division to cooperate with the Mongols responsible for logistics and transportation to disguise themselves as the main force.
The real main force approached the Buryat tribe's garrison in a covert manner.
The airship patrolled in the sky, and they knew the movements of the Buryat tribe's cavalry clearly.
It is very easy for the cavalry division to avoid the search of these Mongolian cavalry on the grassland.
The soldiers on the airship used telescopes, and they could also use their high-altitude vision to quickly discover the Buryat tribe's garrison.
Information on the battlefield is transparent in one direction, and Buryatia's fate is already doomed.
Hong Han listened to the crisp sound of 75 cannons coming from the battlefield.
Gunshots, like fried beans, also sounded quickly.
The cries of killing on the battlefield gradually died down, and they won a great victory.
Hong Han ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. After confirming the results, he immediately wrote a victory report and sent it to the capital.
The last hidden danger in the northern part of the Great China Empire was solved by him.
