Of course, the three of them were not idle here, and Wu Liji simply gave up on others. He was only fifteen years old and could not be considered a soldier. Because he could speak some Chinese, he was considered an adjutant of the captain leading the team. Of course, in the army, only the generals had an adjutant. The few horses Wu Liji was in charge of serving Captain Luo, with good things on it, light and warm tents, mellow and depleted tobacco, and even the salt, pepper, and pepper used for barbecue and stew were brought with him. The only thing he lacked was wine. No drinking was allowed during military operations, which was an iron rule that no one dared to touch.

The three of them ate and drank for three days, and they really arrived at the scout squadron led by Captain Luo. There were more than 70 cavalry, most of them were Mongolian soldiers, led by the guy named Kule. After figuring out the identities and information of Akdun, Captain Luo not only did not blame the three for eating what they had enjoyed, but instead gave the three horses directly to the three.

Chifeng.

The wind blew across the muddy grassland, bringing cold moisture, which made everyone shrink their necks. Pei Chengyi rode on the horse, his body swaying with the war horse, and behind him was a short Mongolian horse. His weapons, military rations, and tents were all on the horse, which was no less than his own. However, the purebred Yongning horse under his crotch was exhausted, while the Mongolian horse was still very powerful. This is why Pei Chengyi, the head coach, insisted on leading the forward into the grassland.

He had already received news that Shandong won a great victory on the main battlefield. The head of state personally led the main force to the capital north. The little Manchu emperor in the capital hurriedly retreated north. His goal was to lead the main force of cavalry to break into the grassland and intercept the Manchus who were preparing to escape to the north of the desert, but all the cavalry officers under his command complained.

Pei Chengyi's Sixth Army was formed mainly with Yongning soldiers, and the cavalry also rode Yongning horses. Because of this, when they were sent to restore Liaodong, soldiers and war horses could endure the cold of early spring, but they could not withstand the long-distance marching. They were resistant to rough-feeding Mongolian horses still jumped around after being attacked for thousands of miles, while Yongning horses fed with fine feed had already lost a lot. Pei Chengyi, who was from the orthodox military academy, remembered the story of Wei Qing Huo Qubing, who was told by his teacher Shi Xue in the military academy. He went out of the frontier thousands of miles and won a great victory outside the frontier. It turned out that it was not a false statement.

The brigade of cavalry set out from Shenyang, Liaodong, and headed west along the Liaohe River. Now there are only 5,000 vanguards, commanded by Pei Chengyi, and the brigade of cavalry is in the hands of Bart. Among the 5,000 vanguards, there are only 1,000 army light cavalry, and the rest are two battalions of Mongolian Hussars that were formed last winter, and there are also Korean musketeers who rode horses and were counted as dragon cavalry.

The weather in the grassland in early spring is changing, sometimes raining and sometimes snowing. The sky is always filled with dark clouds, and the sun will be cast from time to time. The muddy grassland is light and dark. Many Mongolian soldiers are so scared that they jump off their horses, chanting Buddha's name, praying for the blessing of gods and Buddhas.

As we advanced westward, the grassland was in a mess. This plump grassland should have many Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert, Korqin, Bahrain, Naiman and other tribes, all of which should be here. But now, there is no one. The grassland is full of water sources polluted by cattle and sheep corpses, and burned mountains and forests. When the Manchus evacuated the Mongolian tribes, they were also clearing the fields. From the mouths of the scattered Mongolian herders, they got disappointing news. They rushed for thousands of miles, but they gathered less than a thousand Mongolian herders, and they got nothing else.

"General, my man caught a fleeing Kalaqin man. He said that the twelve auxiliary leaders of the Kalaqin Left Wing Banner and the nine auxiliary leaders of the Korqin Left Wing Front Banner were less than twenty miles ahead." Bayintaiji rode a horse to Pei Chengyi and reported.

Pei Chengyi asked: "Why did that Kalaqin man escape?"

Bayin said: "He said that a noble man from Korqin slaughtered his ewes and took away his only daughter. The Kalaqin people wanted to take revenge and save his daughter."

Pei Chengyi knew that now, early spring is the weakest time for the grassland tribe. The livestock that had just passed the winter was very thin, the war horses were fat, and it was also time for the livestock to mate. At this time, migrating the tribe would definitely cause the death of a large number of animals, and even if they did not die, they would have to peel off. In order to migrate, all tribes and flags abandoned the old and weak animals. If even the ewes was killed, it would mean complete bankruptcy, which was no less than the revenge of killing the father.

Pei Chengyi looked at the sky, and the dark clouds became thicker and thicker. He said, "Bantaiji, it's going to rain soon."

Bayin grinned: "Isn't this a good thing? When it rains, the enemy will relax their vigilance. When it's time to set off and arrive at the destination, it's just night, and it's better to attack the sneak attack."

Obviously, Bayintaiji was full of fighting spirit, Pei Chengyi said: "Very good, Bayin, tell me, what do you need?"

Bayin said: "In addition to the first battalion of cavalry I command, I also need five hundred musketeers. By the way, there are also the gathered Kalaqin herders. I need some silver to reward them so that their helpers can sneak into the enemy camp to make trouble."

Pei Chengyi said: "Very good. I promise you all these. If I can receive good news of victory, I can guarantee that there will be five masters who will give you. Seize this opportunity. The flag owner is not far from you."

Bayin's breathing became heavy. He used to be just a Taiji. Although Genghis Khan's bloodline was noble enough, the great man left more descendants than the sand in the river, otherwise he would not have been sent to the ghost place of Ningguta. Now, he is already a real lord with two lords. If this battle is won, there will be seven, seven lords and half a lord. You must know that there are only fifteen of the Mandahai Prince who once dared not look directly at him, and he will have half of his immediately.

"Before breakfast, I will bring you news of victory and testify to the heaven of immortality." Bayintaiji said.

Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "There is ginger in there, and I will ask someone to make ginger soup to drive away the cold of the warriors."

Bayin took 1,500 soldiers in circles and rushed to the camp chosen by the people of Kalaqin. Kalaqin and Korqin had a total of twenty-one subordinates. According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, one subordinate should have more than three thousand soldiers, one thousand of which were armored soldiers, but most of them were drawn into the pass to participate in the war. Now, it would be great that these twenty-one subordinates could draw out three thousand men who could hold spears and pull bows.

Kalaqin people chose a horseshoe-shaped valley as a campsite and placed the cart at the entrance of the valley as usual. Bayin knew that the spirit must be near the cart, while the Taiji people were in the valley, and the most elite soldiers were also around their tents. Bayin was rewarded with great praise and found several Kalaqin people and his personal soldiers sneaked into the camp. He lie down the Korean musketeers in the forest outside the valley, and placed three hundred elite cavalry farther away. The rest were led by him and climbed up to both sides of the valley at night. As long as the invaders were ignited, they could attack.

Everything was as Bayin expected. The people who had been desperate for half a month were not vigilant. The freezing rain that began at night made many people shrink into their tents. The personal soldiers sneaked in smoothly, but the rain made them set fire without any conditions. However, camps with large animals were full of trouble. The personal soldiers lit the tails of the horses, cut off the ropes, and let these guys collide in the camp. The chaos caused was even greater than setting fire. Then Bayin led the main force to attack the back camp and killed the Taiji people's personal soldiers. Seeing that they could not resist, someone cleaned up the horses and wanted to escape. First, they were attacked by North Korean musketeers, and then surrounded by Mongolian cavalry. There were very few people who escaped.

And in the rear, Pei Chengyi drank hot tea and stewed and got dozens of gorgeously dressed Mongolian nobles and hundreds of heads. The only thing he did was to urge the chef to send the hot ginger soup to the front of the formation.

Several of the captives were sent by the Qing court to supervise the migration of the two banners north. In order to achieve their goal, the Korqin people even waited for the Kalaqin people. The two groups monitored each other and headed north together.

Unfortunately, whether it is the Mongolian nobles or the Manchu envoy, they do not know the whereabouts of the Qing emperor. From this, it can be judged that the Qing royal family did not leave the side wall from the Gubei entrance, so they must have gone to Dushikou.

The next morning, Pei Chengyi led the forward to the camp and saw the corpses of cattle, sheep, horses and corpses all over the ground. Pei Chengyi felt that he could have a meal of fresh meat. Just as he wanted to order the forward to stay here and wait for Bart to lead the main force to come, the scout brought good news that shocked him.

"General, two Korqin scouts surrendered to us and provided traces of the main forces of the Korqin tribe and the Chahar tribe. In the area of ​​the Silamulun River, the reconnaissance cavalry we sent came to report that the brigade of Manchu and Mongolian tribes were heading towards Balin Bridge."

Pei Chengyi took out the map and saw that Balin Bridge was located directly north of his place, but he never thought that the retreating Manchuria and Mongolian brigade would be in that position. The reason was very simple. From this, he wanted to go north to Mobei and cross the Greater Xing'an Mountains. The more convenient road was to leave Dushikou and head northwest, and then turn back to Xilingol, and then go straight to Mobei.

Could it be a bait?

Pei Chengyi was walking in the tent. He set out from Liaodong and the orders he had come into contact with the Mongols were all retreating westward. The same was true for the captured Kalaqin and Korqin, but why were they in the Balin Bridge area?

Suddenly, Pei Chengyi saw the carriage outside the tent. He understood that the reason was that the road to Xilingol was on the convoy was convenient, but it was impossible to walk through a desert. The Manchu nobles had enjoyed it for twenty years in the pass and brought a lot of goods. How could they leave the carriage? If they used carriages and horses to calculate, they would abandon their carriages and ride horses except for the side walls. The road they were walking now was not until they were overturned.

Soon, Pei Chengyi summoned the generals to discuss. After everyone sat down, Pei Chengyi said: "I know that I have been chasing for half a month and fought another fierce battle last night. You are very tired, but I will tell you good news. The ministers of Manchu and Mongolian are heading towards the Balin Bridge at this moment, less than three hundred miles away. If we set out now, we can catch up in two days, catch the Emperor of Manchu and Mongolian, and seize the opportunity of Manchu and Mongolian, right in front of us. What do you think?"

Everyone in the tent was stunned, and then cheered. Bayin's arm was still bleeding, but he was still waving. His loud voice overwhelmed everything: "Of course it's chasing. This is a great opportunity to build great achievements. Isn't we just working hard and exhausted for these?"

"Yes, the horse team where the little Manchu emperor is located must have a lot of wealth and Dingkou, and nothing is more exciting than this."

Everyone asked for the battle, and Pei Chengyi stood up and said, "Very good, very good, worthy of being a man who dares to fight and fight. Now I will send all the bounties in the camp, and all the war Martin mouths here will be allocated to you. Two hours later, we will set off and we must arrive before the Qing Dynasty crosses the Balin Bridge."

Everyone responded and dispersed with a bang. Pei Chengyi pulled the messenger over and said, "Go and send the order to Bat immediately, let him throw down all the baggage and go north quickly, and meet with me as quickly as possible, tell him not to care about the life or death of the war horse, and if the war horse dies, you will go to Bahrain even if the horse is dead, go."

The main force led by Bat was still in the lower reaches of the Laoha River and had just been drawn out of the Liaohe River. However, because the army had been pursuing westward before, the main force was actually closer to the Balin Bridge than the vanguard. After receiving the order from Pei Chengyi, he immediately summoned the troops to set off. Bat left all the supplies and food, and only let Chang Adae lead the baggage troops to stay. The remaining troops, including three cavalry regiments and two Mongolian cavalry battalions, set off overnight and crossed the Laoha River that day. It took only two days to meet with the vanguard led by Pei Chengyi in the Rasutke area. Akdun and others, who were very familiar with the Qing court, rushed to the front of the army.

Rasutke was only more than thirty miles away from Balin Bridge, and the scouts also captured many escaped herders and slaves. However, these people did not know much about the matter in the Qing army camp, and they provided useless information such as "a lot of cattle and sheep", "a lot of soldiers and horses", and "a lot of noble people". Until Akdun and others arrived, Pei Chengyi had an understanding of the Qing army in Balin Bridge.

Akdun, Agui knelt on the ground, his face pressed against the ground, Pei Chengyi sat in the general's position and said, "You two can understand the current affairs, Ming Shun, and come to submit. I am very pleased. I would like to give you 50 taels of silver each. And you provide a route to escape from the north of the Qing Dynasty, which is a great achievement. I have already made people remember you. Akdun is Zhang Jing, who is directly under his command. Agui is still under his command, and he will be a cavalry school. When you two make new contributions, there will definitely be more rewards."

"Thank you for your kindness, General. We will definitely serve you bravely and serve the new dynasty." Akdun and his men hurriedly kowtowed.

When the two of them got up, Pei Chengyi waved his hand, and the adjutant stepped forward and handed the two letters to Akdun and Agui. The two of them stared at each other, but they couldn't understand the words on it. Akdun only recognized the words Jiuniang, and couldn't help but feel a little scared. Akdun said, "General, both of them are illiterate."

The adjutant said, "Wuliji has already said about your family. Although he is serving the country, he cannot ignore his family. This is a letter written to you. I originally wanted you to copy one, but now it seems that it is not possible. Send it back directly. It clearly states the rewards for you. You two each take a token that your family recognizes and send it back with the letter. Especially for you, Akdun Zhangjing, you should be faster, otherwise your wife will regret it if she remarries."

Although this was a bit arrogant, Akdun still burst into tears. Unexpectedly, Xinchao thought so well, he quickly took off a purse that Jiuniang made for him, and Agui also took out a wolf-tooth pendant for his younger brother. The adjutant put it away and said, "Okay, that's all. You two were originally Ha Rich Ting. I think your family was not very comfortable in Liaodong. Let's do this. I'll write a letter to the Military Control Commission. First, take half of the rewards for you and you will be used for your family, and then give you some cloth and food."
