"Zhao Xin, that bastard! He went south to capture prisoners by himself, and I still have to lead people to attack Ninggu Pagoda!" Liu Sheng, who had just captured the Qing army's western front camp, stood in Duerjia's tent and cursed secretly.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

The person who came in was Jiuzang. He saluted with a military salute and then reported: "Sir, we captured one hundred and fifty-seven prisoners of the Qing army and captured twenty horses, but they were all horses pulling carts. According to the prisoners' accounts,

The Mongolian cavalry crossed the river with all the horses in the camp and fled toward the southeast, numbering about three to four thousand people."

"We can't let this Qing army run back! Otherwise, with just our few people, we won't be able to capture Ninggu Pagoda quickly! Jiuzang, send a squad immediately to escort the prisoners back. Send two more people on horseback to catch up.

Go back to the headquarters, inform Mr. Zhao and contact Instructor Wang, asking them to stop this Qing army!"

"Yes! What about us?"

"Let the soldiers clean up, let's leave now to Ninggu Pagoda!"

Karen, Mongolia, was originally just a small checkpoint responsible for delivering official documents. The reason why it is called "Mongolia" comes from the Mongolian River not far to the south. In another future generation of time and space, this place had a population of only more than 3,000

Barabash.

Because the nearby mountains produce ginseng and the coastal rivers are rich in Dongzhu, the number of soldiers stationed here is twice as many as that of other Karens, a total of twenty people.

Since Fukang'an began to widen the road from Hunchun to Fuldan City, Mongolian Karen quickly became a very important logistical supply point for the Qing army on its way north. All grain ships departing from Hunchun followed the winding route

The Hunchun River flows all the way east to north, then turns overland, and is transported from the Mongolian River to Karen, Mongolia. It is precisely for this reason that the garrison strength of Karen, Mongolia, suddenly increased from 20 people to more than 500 people.

Including two shotgun squads.

The first snow in early autumn fills the valley below the Tonken Mountain. The rolling ridges, the trees that have not lost all their leaves, the silver-gray sky and the white earth are intertwined and integrated into one.

Seven or eight roe deer, sticking out their white buttocks that exploded into a heart-shaped shape, hurriedly crossed the forest, as if they were avoiding some danger. Before they went downhill, they suddenly looked back, and their demented expressions made people laugh.

Twenty minutes later, a large and colorful tiger emerged from the dense bushes, crossed the shallow ridge, and jumped onto the flat forest path. It didn't seem to be in a hurry, and just walked so leisurely.

It swayed with flame-like patterns all over its body and walked through the forest, leaving huge paw prints on the snow. When it reached the foot of an oak tree, it slowly stopped, hesitated for about a second, and suddenly arched its head.

From its back, it roared at the mountain ridge a hundred meters away.

Now without Serdan's reminder, Wang Yuanfang knew that the tiger had discovered him.

"Oops, we've been discovered! If we shoot, Karen down the mountain might hear it. What should we do?" Seldan asked slowly and softly.

"Chirp! Chirp!" Wang Yuanfang answered him with the sound of a gunshot. In his field of vision, the huge white-fronted tiger with eye-catching eyes was shot in the head and fell to the snow.

Since Wang Yuanfang led his team to leave Fuldan City at the end of June, more than 600 people have stayed in Tongken Mountain for two full months. Their biggest enemy every day is not the soldiers patrolling the mountain, or the border people who go into the mountain to collect ginseng or hunt.

Not tigers, bears and wild boars, but themselves.

More than 600 people have nothing to do every day and cannot hunt in the mountains and forests with great fanfare. It is really a torture. If it were not for the Serdan father and son who are familiar with the harsh environment of the mountains, they would have been discovered by the border residents. Every time they encountered

When there was a fierce beast, the soldiers did not dare to shoot directly, so either Serdan killed it with a bow and arrow, or Wang Yuanfang killed it with an automatic rifle with a silencer.

The soldiers eat compressed biscuits every day, drink mountain spring water, and seldom light bonfires when sleeping at night. It is precisely because of this that in the past two months, more than a dozen people have fallen ill due to injuries and wild beast attacks.

.Although there are medical soldiers accompanying him, it is said that the disease is gone like a thread and it is not that easy to recover.

When Zhao Xin's order was received via radio waves, Wang Yuanfang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't bear to wait any longer.

More than 600 people, who had been depressed for a long time, were like tigers descending from the mountain. They quickly passed through the forest and bushes, crossed the mountain ridges, and attacked the Qing army's Mongolian Karen with lightning speed.

When they rushed out of the mountains and had not reached the north bank of the Mongolian River, they were discovered by the stationed Qing army. The Qing army, like crazy, cut off the ropes binding the pontoon before the Northern Navy could rush across the river.

Seeing that it was impossible to cross the bridge, Wang Yuanfang immediately ordered a company to forcefully cross the Mongolian River, while other troops provided fire cover on the north bank of the river.

When the soldiers from Beihai Town braved the hail of bullets and arrows to swim across the bitterly cold Mongolian River, they were soaked and immediately launched an attack.

The battle ended after 20 minutes, because Karen's building could not be destroyed despite a strong attack. As a result, three people were killed and five were injured. However, no one of the two Qing army musketeers stationed here surrendered and they were all wiped out;

Except for a few of the more than a hundred civilians who were transporting grain and supplies, they fled into the mountains to the south, and the others became prisoners.

After getting in touch with the headquarters, Wang Yuanfang decided to let his men have a hot meal first. After more than 600 people had eaten and drank, and had a good sleep by the campfire, new orders arrived.

The order given to them by the headquarters was to block the Qing cavalry fleeing south and annihilate them all to create convenience for the capture of Ninggu Pagoda. Wang Yuanfang thought for a moment and first ordered some soldiers to repair the pontoon bridge immediately, and then followed up with Serdan and his son.

I had a meeting with my battalion company commander.

After the short meeting, Serdan and his son took their two reconnaissance teams to disguise themselves, picked up shotguns and bows, and transformed into armored soldiers stationed here, while Wang Yuanfang and others hid in the built hidden fortifications.

inside.

The water has been boiled, just wait for the rice to be put into the pot.
