When the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was opened, war was finally about to begin in Jiuyuan City. The enemy is gathering more and more in Linhe.

The Monan Tumote and Qinghai Tumote units completely retreated to Linhe City after being attacked by the regiment led by Yan Yingyuan. They consume a huge amount of strength and are in urgent need of repair.

The top of the Yellow River's zigzag shape. It is interlaced with grasslands, deserts, mountains and plateaus.

Among them, a long and narrow irrigation oasis between the Helan Mountain and the Yellow River is Xitao-Yinchuan Plain.

Among them, an oasis sandwiched between the Yinshan Mountain and the Yellow River to the north and south is Houtao Linhe City-Bayannur Plain.

Among them, the Baotou and Hohhot plains between Daqingshan and the Yellow River are the former Tumochuan plains.

The current situation is that Xitao is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The former was in the hands of the Beijing camp led by Yang Fan. Then the Bayannur grassland, with Linhe City as the center, was in the hands of the Mongolian armies in the desert.

The reason why Yang Fan left behind and waited for the Mongolian army to come was because only this grassland could feed the cattle and sheep that the Mongolian army came from.

This grassland is extremely fertile, and even farming has no problems. Enough to feed their cattle and sheep.

In this era, the Mongolians all drove their cattle and sheep into battle. Cattle and sheep were their baggage and military rations. Eat wherever you go.

Therefore, as long as the remnants of Tumut still control the back cover, those Mongolian reinforcements will gather there. Because that grassland is the best base area.

Yang Fan was not afraid of their large numbers, but afraid that they would be scattered.

The Beijing camp is all infantry, and there is no way to engage in mobile warfare with the cavalry.

At this time, Yang Fan had returned to Jiuyuan City with 45,000 Beijing troops.

The current situation is that 15,000 people have been left in Guihua City. Jiuyuan City has 60,000 soldiers in the capital and 20,000 soldiers in the regiment. The Ordos Plateau, the Henan area surrounded by the Yellow River on three sides and blocked by Baiyu Mountain and Hengshan Mountain in the south, was handed over to the imperial government by Yang Fan. Where is the Trilateral Governor-General's Territory now?

Yang Fan was looking at the map and thinking. Now Jiuyuan City is about to start a war. What he needs to do is to hold off these Mongols, and after their divisions are exhausted, the cavalry and infantry armies lurking in the Yinshan Mountains can raid their nests. Defeat Mongolia in one fell swoop and completely complete the integration of Transkalkha, Monan Mongolia, Mongolia, Qinghai Mongolia, and Southern Xinjiang Mongolia.

Among these Mongolian forces, there are still some remnants of the Monan Tumote, and although the Qinghai Tumote has suffered considerable losses, their strength is still there. They are the weakest among the Mongols. Yang Fan can quickly deal with them, clear out the Mongolian forces in Qinghai, and send the master back to Zang.

Transkarkha is today's Outer Mongolia region. Between here and Inner Mongolia is an area crisscrossed by deserts and Gobi. The areas suitable for human survival in Outer Mongolia are the three plains in the north.

One is the Great Lakes Basin in the northwest. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a basin filled with lakes in the middle. The core city is Ulyasutai. This grassland is the territory of Zasak Tuhan.

This area is a grassland composed of the Selenge River flowing to the north and its tributaries to the south. This is the territory of Tushetu Khan. The core city is Ulaanbaatar. This place has fallen into the hands of Yang Fan, and Tuxie Tuhan defected to Jiannu with his cronies. Became the leader of the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

There is another area, the Ergun River Basin in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang and the Hulun Lake and Beier Lake grasslands. The core city is Hylar. This is the territory of the Chechen Khan. In order to stabilize Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe in the upper reaches of the Liao River, Yang Fan did not touch the Chechen Khan.

Then the next step is to let An Sanxi come out and do some activities.

Since it is not appropriate to touch the Chechen Khan for the time being, it is time to touch the Tuxietu Khan. Take down the Great Lakes Plains. They even continued to the northwest to capture Tangnu Ulianghai.

This threatens Mongolia's territory in the desert from the northeast side.

If a cavalry division is sent into Qinghai to completely eliminate the Mongols in Qinghai, and then west along the Xining Valley Road into the Qaidam Basin, and from Qinghai into the eastern part of Xinjiang, it can attack the Mongolian territory in the desert from north to south.

Desert Mongolia must be empty of troops at this time. Their warriors are currently in Blackwater City and Juyanhai City in Alxa. Part of them arrived at Linhe City. Two armed with a large number of firearms

The cavalry division is enough to mow down their old, weak, women, children, cattle, sheep and livestock.

On the grassland, without the tribal herdsmen and cattle and sheep livestock, the expeditionary troops were destined to die. Because they have lost their roots.

And Jiuyuan City is not easy to fight. In this way, they had a fortified city in front of them, and their lair was attacked by surprise behind them. Herders and livestock were looted, and these people were at the end of their rope.

The key is to hold on in Jiuyuan City, wear them down bit by bit, and then let the cavalry attack when they are exhausted. Eliminate their base in one fell swoop.

Yang Fan touched his chin and had a plan in mind.

At this time, the signal corps came in to report and sent the latest news from the new city.

Yang Fan opened it and saw that the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway had opened to traffic ahead of schedule. This is really good news. In this case, it will not be a problem for the entire line from Tanggu to Zhangjiakou to be opened to traffic before the end of the year.

As long as the train opens to Zhangjiakou before the end of the year, the problem of logistical transportation being too far away will be greatly improved. From the Great Wall at Zhangjiakou to Guihua City, the distance is greatly shortened.

Now the Ordos department has also been resolved. The Yellow River water transport can be opened. It has become possible to use steamships to supply Jiuyuan City from the Yellow River.

Jiuyuan City was built facing the Yellow River, and Yang Fan used the city wall to include the dock. Even if the north of Jiuyuan City is besieged, there is no fear of cutting off traffic. No matter how fierce the Mongolian siege was. Steam ships covered with steel plates can safely enter and leave the docks of Jiuyuan City.

As long as supplies continue to flow. Wounded soldiers can be evacuated and reinforcements can arrive. The Mongol siege made no sense. A large number of firearms and weapons continued to arrive, which could continue to bleed the Desert Mongols until they drained their blood under Jiuyuan City.

Yang Fan has a lot of patience. Just guard this fortified city and slowly consume them. Let's see who can't bear it first.

Yang Fan can afford to lose, and there is Guihua City behind him.

But the Mongolians could not afford to lose. Once their home is stolen, they are in danger of being wiped out.

"How are the steamships prepared now?" Yang Fan turned around and asked.

The captain of the transport fleet, Ding Kaishan, stood at attention and replied loudly: "Commander Qi, we have modified six tugboats powered by steam engines. They can tow thirty watercrafts and transport three thousand tons of materials at the same time."

It is not a big problem for a tanker to transport hundreds of tons. This scale is enough for Yang Fan's needs.

As long as enough supplies are stored in winter before the Yellow River freezes. In winter, after the heavy snow falls, the Mongolians will hide behind their cats.

That's when Yang Fan started to launch a counterattack. Their horses are at their weakest, and their cattle and sheep rely on catching autumn fat to survive the winter.

Yang Fan is not afraid of winter, he has good cold-proof clothing, and he has enough corn to feed the horses. In winter, there are cotton tents to keep the horses warm at night. At that time, the offensive and defensive momentum will change.
