    Hurrying slowly, Shi Dakai arrived at the Ishim Grassland before Mongolia sent troops. This time Shi Dakai came with an imperial edict. One was the labor army and the other was the supervisor. This person represented the emperor and Yang Guogong of the capital.  All the Mongolian princes did not dare to underestimate Shi Dakai. Now the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is easy to mess with, but Yang Guogong is not easy to mess with!  The rations for the front line are all a matter of a word from Duke Yang. If you don¡¯t want to give them, they won¡¯t be given. There is nothing anyone can do!  It was absolutely unwise for the Mongolian kings to offend this envoy Shi Qin, who only knew his surname but not his first name.  "Novel" Novel Chapter The Mongolian Army is headed by the five great Khans of Outer Mongolia. Now Torgut Khan seems to be the mouthpiece of the entire Mongolian Army. There is no other reason, but for the Qing court, the Torgut tribe is more credible.  That¡¯s all.  During the Qianlong period, the Torgut tribe returned eastward, and the Qing court gave them considerable courtesy. Now, if Mongolia wants to achieve its goals, it must rely on the Qing court. Mongolia does not have the ability to use foreign guns, foreign cannons, and top-notch thick-backed sabers.  Production, without the support of the Qing court, was just a dream during the westward expansion.  Furthermore, Mongolia is not a grain-producing area to begin with. Planting some highland barley and adding beef and mutton is the food Mongolia relies on for survival. Without the support of the Qing Dynasty in military grain, the Western Expedition would be a dream.  I learned from the local tribes in Tsarist Russia that the Ishim grassland and the Eastern European grassland are both fertile pastures, not much worse than some pastures in Mongolia. Now that the Qing court has strong soldiers and horses, Mongolia has become the possession of the Qing court.  The Mongolian kings were not willing to live under others for a long time, and it was imperative for the Mongolian kings to advance westward.  Since they need to rely on the power of the Qing court, the Mongolian kings do not mind and let Turgut Khan, who is not as powerful as the powerful prince, act as their mouthpiece.  The Mongolian Legion.  The most powerful one was the Great Khan of Khalkha Mongolia.  Chechen Khan, Tushetu Khan, Zasaktu Khan.  Tangnu Ulianghai, which borders Tsarist Russia, is the main area of ??strength of the Khalkha Mongolian Khans. The Khalkha Khans are not unfamiliar to Tsarist Russia, and they are also familiar with the Cossacks. Some frictions between close neighbors are also common.  , if the Qing court had not backed them up and provided a lot of anger.  Khalkha Khan really didn¡¯t have the confidence to fight against the Cossacks.  Shooting an arrow immediately is a piece of cake for many Mongolians, and shooting is also a piece of cake. If they only have spears, the Mongolian kings still don't want to use force with the Cossacks. What really makes them confident is the large amount of support from Yang Meng.  Colt, this is a weapon on horseback for cavalry, whether it is loading or shooting.  Colts are easier to use than bows and arrows, which is why the Mongolian army dared to invade Tsarist Russia.  Turgut Khan serves as the mouthpiece.  Khalkha Khan, as the main force against the Cossacks, and the ten thousand cavalry were the main force in this exploratory battle. The battle would be fought sooner or later. Since Shi Qin's envoy was here, the Mongolian kings had nothing to hesitate. All they had to do to start the war was to organize the cavalry.  It¡¯s done.  Although the weather in late winter and early spring is still very cold, it is no longer unbearable for the Mongolian soldiers. The Mongolian kings are also a little cautious about the Cossacks. It is also under the consideration of the Mongolian kings to test it out.  If the Cossacks are vulnerable, then there is no need for the Mongolian army to be polite. If the Cossacks are brave and good at fighting, they might have to ask Duke Yang for help.  " Ten thousand cavalry, what kind of scale is it? Shi Dakai has learned a lesson. Isn't this the so-called army of thousands of horses?  The pressure brought by 10,000 cavalrymen far exceeds that of 100,000 infantrymen. Looking at the Mongolian cavalry rushing towards the Ishim Grassland like a tide, Shi Dakai also felt a little high-spirited.  There are Tsarist Russian cities on the Ishim Grassland. Because it was an initial battle, neither the Northwest Army nor the Mongolian Army had touched these Tsarist Russian towns. After this battle, it is difficult to say whether these towns can be saved. If everything goes well.  , not only the cities on the Ishim Steppe, but also the cities on the West Siberian Plain will become uninhabited dead cities.  "Torghut Khan, what do you Mongolian kings think of this horse battle?" The war is about to begin. Even if the Cossacks do not agree to fight, the Mongolian soldiers will find the Cossack cavalry, but as for the outcome of each other, Shi Dakai  Not sure either.  "Commissioner Shi Qin, only the local tribes of Tsarist Russia are participating in the war this time. We have given them the best horses and sabers. Even if they cannot win, they will not be completely defeated."  It is suitable for assassination, but for chopping, it is definitely the best saber in the world. It has a thick back, toughness and sharpness. Today's Mongolian kings also have a beautifully bound Yunnan version of the Eagle Claw blade.  "I hope so" It seems that the Mongolian kings are not stupid. They are using cannon fodder. The 50,000 cavalry behind them are probably the real elite of Mongolia, right?  Looking at the cannon fodder cavalry a few miles in front of him, Shi Dakai also felt sad for them., this is a truly elite cavalry!  Even though they were just cannon fodder in the eyes of the Mongolian kings, compared to the cavalry of the previous court, they were definitely the elite among the elite.  The Ishim Grassland is ultimately Tsarist Russia¡¯s own territory. Tsarist Russia also responded to the invasion of the Mongolian cavalry. It was not infantry versus cavalry, but cavalry versus cavalry. As a great empire across the Eurasian continent, for its own  Cossack cavalry, Tsarist Russia is also the most conceited.  After searching for seven days, he finally found his opponent. Looking at the dense Russian cavalry on the opposite side, Shi Dakai was also a little moved.  "Commissioner Shi Qin, there are Cossack cavalry on the opposite side. Their number is about 40,000. With the 50,000 Mongolian elites behind us, we will win this battle!" The Mongolian kings are not stupid. They don't know how to use so-called duel tactics.  How many people were needed? After the cavalry from both sides met, the Mongolian elites behind Shi Dakai and others also rushed to the front of the Chinese army, and a group fight was already in place.  "Forty thousand? When will the war start?" Shi Dakai could tell the number of infantry at a glance, but distinguishing the number of cavalry was not his strong point. Looking from a distance, Shi Dakai always felt that the number of Cossack cavalry was larger.  Some.  "Forty thousand at most! When the horn sounds, it's time to start the war. Shi Qin sent you, there is a low hill to the west. Let's go there to watch the battle!" Under the leadership of the Mongolian kings, Shi Dakai climbed aboard.  The low hill, condescending, made the strength of both sides clear. In terms of area, the Cossacks on the opposite side were obviously not among the Mongolian soldiers. The formation on the Mongolian side also made Shi Dakai nod silently.  The ethnic minority cavalry of Tsarist Russia stood in front of the elite Mongolian cavalry, while the elite Mongolian cavalry stayed behind the cannon fodder. This was a two-wing battle formation!  It seems that the Mongolian kings still have something in their stomachs, and they have no stupid thoughts of rushing forward to confront them head-on.  "Commissioner Shi Qin, the war is about to begin!" As soon as Torgut Khan's words fell on the grassland still covered with snow, a desolate horn sounded. In the horn sound, whether it was the Mongolian cannon fodder cavalry,  The Cossack cavalry on the opposite side slowly released their power and slowly approached each other.  The Mongolian cavalry went out to fight, but the formation was not as strict as Shi Dakai imagined. The formation consisted of nearly ten rows of horses, forming a huge zigzag battle formation on the snowy field. The snowflakes kicked up by the horses' hooves formed a pattern on the grassland with the strong wind.  A huge white fog.  "Torghut Khan, shouldn't our cavalry use Mongolian horses? What kind of war horses did the middle cavalry that I saw?" "Haha who said that the Mongolian cavalry will ride Mongolian horses?"  The momentum of the horse is the most important. The cavalry here uses part of the hippos from Northeast China and part of Hequ horses. Most of them are strong horses from Central Asia. Mongolian horses are only suitable for two-wing raids. We are not Senggelinqin. The tactics of our ancestors  , Let¡¯s keep it in mind!¡± After hearing Shi Dakai¡¯s question, Turghut Khan smiled sarcastically, Seng Gelinqin is just an idle prince of Horqin, what kind of cavalry tactics does he know?  Well, pretending to be a Mongolian prince, he still falls short.  "Oh" After hearing Turghut Khan's sarcastic words, Shi Dakai's eyes narrowed. It seems that my brother's information is still wrong!  The Mongolian kings, who were thought to be a bunch of losers, still resorted to the fighting methods of their ancestors, which was not a good thing.  Through this method of warfare, Shi Dakai can clearly tell that there is a capable person among the Mongolian kings!  Moreover, the influence of this capable man is not small. Although Senggelinqin is an idle Mongolian king, Senggelinqin is still better at Mongolian warfare. In the defeats of Zhangjiawan and Bali Bridge, Senggelinqin was defeated.  On top of Qin's underestimation of the enemy, if he had made reasonable use of the Mongolian cavalry at that time, Senggelinqin would not have suffered such a big loss.  Although Brother Yang has already reported the defeat of Senggelinqin to the grassland, the tactics of warfare are deeply rooted in the bones. Mongolia¡¯s tactics have changed a bit. Suppression in the middle and two wings to defeat the enemy are indeed Genghis Khan¡¯s tactics.  But this kind of tactics has not appeared on the Mongolian grasslands for a long time.  If Junggar had such a fighting method, Emperor Kangxi would not have won easily. The fighting methods of Mongolia and the Eight Banners are essentially the same. With this change in the Mongolian army, Brother Yang will also have to add some.  Be careful.  Whether it is because the Mongolian kings have talented people within themselves or with the help of talented foreigners, Mongolia has indeed shown signs of becoming powerful. It seems that Brother Yang¡¯s previous fear of the growth of Mongolian power is not an unfounded worry.  The Mongolian power does pose a great threat to both Inner and Outer Mongolia.  Although Brother Yang¡¯s previous methods to contain Mongolia had little effect, Brother Yang¡¯s preparedness for the Mongolian forces was still in place. Thinking of this, Shi Dakai also said to himself:?The gap between Brother Yang and me is too big. There are some things that cannot be achieved.  (To be continued)
