Night, a vast night.

The grassland fell asleep in an uneasy atmosphere, the whistling north wind was noisy in the willow forest, and several owls stood on the dry branches and howled strangely. However, after a while the owls stopped hooting, and a messy sound of horse hooves startled them. Not long after, in a room in the temple, a horse lantern produced in Beihai Town was lit, and then three figures emerged from the darkness.

"My lord, where should we go next? In my opinion, we cannot stay here for long."

"Well... let's go to Wuliang Haiqi. It's better to be farther away from the station."

"What does the Great Lama think?"

"Very good. The poor monk thinks you'd better leave this place as soon as possible. Although Goncourt's method is good, no matter how well you dress up, you will be seen through sooner or later. It's better to evacuate quickly before they notice. This will make it more difficult. Those herdsmen created the illusion that the Beihai pirates killed people and set fire, and that Gong Gur risked his life for the people; and those Mongolians who joined the Beihai pirates were all traitors who had forgotten their ancestors."

The three people who spoke were the fake Northern Navy company commander who led his men to burn, kill and loot during the day, Gong Gur, and the envoy of Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, Lobsang Lama.

Although the Manchus and Qing Dynasties could not defeat Beihai Town, they were still unwilling to lose such a large area of ​​land as Khalkha. Especially for the Hutuktu from Outer Mongolia, headed by Jebzundamba, they had homes and could not go back, so they had to stay in Rehe. Not to mention they had a hard time. As for the Qing Dynasty, with the support of Beihai Town and Fukang'an's desperate efforts, after finally taking over the land of Gorkha, they looked back and looked at it again, but they were also 10,000 dissatisfied.

Although the work team sent by Beihai Town currently only preaches equality and the abolition of slavery to the herdsmen, both the Zasak Banner and the Lama Banner have felt threats to varying degrees. Once the relationship of personal dependence is completely removed, those who used to be aloof will become bare commanders.

In this way, both internal and external parties came together and decided to take advantage of Beihai Town's unstable footing to cause trouble and destroy its image in the minds of the herdsmen so that they would have no time to look south. On the Manchu and Qing side, the Ministry of Punishment, the Lifan Yuan, and the Monk Yu Bei's Office sent personnel northward. The major lamas also helped to contact those in the Zhasak Banner who were dissatisfied with Beihai Town. Now the entire Khalkha Anti-Beihai Town team is not only Gong Gur's team, but also the six Khalkha tribes. There are as few as a thousand people and as many as two or three thousand people.

Although there is no use in doing so, for Liu Sheng, Fan Tong, and Liu Zheng, it is like a dung beetle smashing their feet - it is disgusting if it does not bite.

The three people in the tent drank two bowls of milk tea. Lama Lobsang shouted outside. After two of his men carried in a heavy box, he signaled to Gong Guer: "Here is a thousand taels of silver. This is the Buddha." I was specially asked to deliver it to you. If you don’t have enough money and food, send someone to get it from the Cukutoro Sea."

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Buddha. I, Gong Gur, am willing to kill you for your kindness!" After finishing speaking, Gong Gur thought for a moment and then said: "What the great lama said is true. I will strive to remove Huite from the rear flag within three days." Several tribes scanned it and retreated to Wulianghai Banner on the fourth day."

While the three men were discussing secretly, a team composed of more than 300 Northern Navy cavalry and work teams had arrived five miles away from Goncourt's brigade. As the battalion commander, Zhou Zhong mobilized his men before the war.

"The scouts just came back to report that the enemies are feasting, and we have to make a surprise attack on them before dawn! Brothers, it is because of this group of bastards that the people of all the banners in northern Khovd are scolding them. Us! The common people are holding sheep and giving them to the enemy, but for us, they are spitting in our faces! Today, we must catch all these people in one fell swoop. What kind of eagles are there in Khalkha? Today I want to turn them into monsters on the grassland. Pin-the-tail wolf!”

"Bring me the map."

Following Zhou Zhong's order, a staff officer spread a map hand-drawn based on a drone on the ground in the tent. After all the officers' attention turned to the map, Zhou Zhong asked the two scouts to report again. After the scout finished explaining the situation, he said:

"The enemy is likely to escape within a day or two. They are very guarded. There are three sentries on each side of the residence. The outermost sentry is three miles away. It is very difficult for us to get close to them. Furthermore, we do not have enough troops. I'm afraid a siege won't work, but we can lure them out and annihilate them in one fell swoop on Dadianzi south of the temple. Before dawn, we divided our troops into three groups and rushed to Boluo Yiqi Gatu. One group was led by Yunyan, and we must walk on the mountain road. Take the mountain to the north and block their escape route to the north; the second team, led by Wang Rong, blocks the side access road to the west of the temple; the third team, led by me, inserts from the east of the temple. In this way, even if the enemy wants to escape, they can only Come south.

The tasks of each department are like this. I will be the first to shoot along the way. The noise will be louder and the enemy will be driven out of the temple. Their first reaction must be to flee north. When the time comes, Yunyan, you guys will shoot. I will make more adjustments. A machine gun for you. Wang Rong must not expose himself along the way. Only Yun Yan and I have disrupted the enemy. When they flee for their lives, you can shoot again. In this way, the enemy will run around in the trap we set. When they are in a panic, I will have people blow the conch horn, charge in three directions, and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

The most important thing in this battle is to catch those guys pretending to be us, especially those enemies with muskets. In order to achieve a quick victory, we have to travel long distances and have limited ammunition. Now you go back and mobilize separately to prepare and set off on time at two o'clock in the morning. "

Since the battle at Chahan Tuoluohai, this is the first time Zhou Zhong has led a team to fight alone. A month of continuous pursuit had made his originally young face very rough. With his unshaven chin and wrinkles between his eyebrows, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. He repeatedly reviewed the plan he had made before looking at the map, fearing that the battle would not go well.

At two o'clock in the night, more than 300 Northern Navy soldiers left the camp to gather. After Zhou Zhong and other companies completed their reports, they ordered all ministries to set off.

Timur carried a rifle and led his horse to follow Wang Rong. At this moment, he had only one goal in his mind: to catch that bastard Gong Guur and avenge Siqin!

On that cold winter night last year, after Siqin and the old man Dorji escaped from the village together, they went straight to Uliasutai. When I took a look, I saw thousands of troops gathered, and the military camp was heavily guarded. My eyes were completely dark. How could I find it?

Siqin was sad and anxious. After running around and not recovering well after the miscarriage, Siqin fainted at the gate of the military camp. When she woke up, she was already lying on the bed in the Beihai Navy Clinic. This girl was not afraid of hardship. When she learned that Han doctors' medical treatment was free, she silently helped with the cleaning and washing work, and Dorji also followed suit.

Siqin stayed in the clinic for more than a month. When she was almost fully recovered, the people at the clinic also fell in love with this Mongolian girl who was eager to do any job, so they persuaded her to stay and learn to be a nurse.

A few more months passed like this, and Siqin, who could communicate in simple Mandarin, finally plucked up the courage to talk to the military doctor in charge of the clinic. The military doctor was very emotional when he heard it, and then reported it to his superiors, and finally it reached Liu Sheng's ears.

When Liu Sheng heard this, he said that we must help him with this task! So I sent a telegram to Cobdo. In this way, Timur finally learned about Siqin. At the end of last summer, Timur finally met Siqin while he was home visiting relatives. The two hugged each other and cried, and the misunderstanding was resolved.

The Mongolians of this era did not have as serious a concept of chastity as the Han people. If their women were snatched away, it would only prove that they were incompetent. You must know that when Bortie was snatched away and she was pregnant with Shuchi, Genghis Khan killed the Merqiti people, but he loved and cherished her even more.

Siqin said, do you still want me?

Timur said, of course! If I save some more money, I will marry you and I will build you a snow-white yurt! Raise a flock of sheep!

...

Before going to bed, Gong Guer worriedly took a few soldiers out to patrol the sentry. The location of the temple where they camped was not ideal, especially the mountain behind the temple, which happened to be stuck on the way north. During the patrol, he asked his subordinates if there were any sentries posted on the mountain. When his subordinates said no, Gong Gour was furious and personally sent twenty people to watch the night on the mountain. Only then did he go back to sleep peacefully.

The night wind blew the tinkling sound of the iron horses on the eaves of the temple, which kept Goncourt awake. He got up and smoked two packs of cigarettes. It was already past noon, and for some reason he thought of Siqin. He doesn't cherish the person while he's there, but when he's gone, he always wakes up in a dream at midnight.

"It's just like Abu said, what a bad fate!" Gong Gour fell asleep after thinking about it...

"Bang bang! Boom! Bang! Bang bang! Boom!"

The sharp sound of rifles and the dull sound of explosions woke Goncourt up. Fearing that it was an illusion in his dream, he listened quietly for a while. The gunfire came from the east and became more and more intensive.

broken! The North Navy is coming!

Gong Gour knew that such a weapon firing sound could only be heard in the Northern Navy, and the sound of shotguns was not so loud. He jumped off the bed and kicked the soldiers with his feet while shouting. The two guys who slept like dead pigs sat up in a daze, not knowing what happened.

"Damn it! If I had to wait for you damn ghosts to protect me, I would have met the King of Hell a long time ago!" Gong Guol pulled out his knife, hurriedly put on his cotton armor, and headed out of the house.

At this time, the east has just turned white, gray clouds have blocked the morning light, and the sounds of gunshots, explosions, bullets whistling, people shouting and horses neighing...

Several leaders of the team ran over with their clothes and trousers in hand and reported to Gong Gour: "Sir! Something bad has happened! We are surrounded by the Northern Navy!"

Gong Gour cursed angrily: "Shut up! Who said we were surrounded? You don't have ears? Listen, there are gunshots just in the east."

"Sir, let's not get trapped in this ruined temple. It's better to leave as soon as possible."

Gong Gour didn't even look at him, and said to one of his soldiers: "Go up to the roof and see how the enemy's troops are arranged."

The attendant immediately climbed up to the roof with the help of others, stretched his neck and looked around for a while, and loudly reported back: "There are no enemies on the south, north, and west sides, but there is a group of people on the east side, rushing towards us." !”

"how many people?"

"Approximately, there seems to be..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly rolled down from the roof. Everyone was startled and ran away at first. When the man landed on the ground, they saw clearly that half of his head was gone and his brains were splattered all over the floor.

"Sir, this is incredible! Get on your horse quickly! I'll tell the brothers..."

"Stop! Why are you panicking! We are not surrounded. There must not be many of them. We were fooled when we went out! Listen to my order, no one is allowed to rush out. Gather all the muskets. Just guard the temple and shoot them one by one!"

He turned to the other leader and said, "Take the people out from the west, walk around the foot of the mountain, and charge from the flank!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gunshots outside suddenly disappeared. Just like the drums in the county government office, once everyone arrives, the drums will no longer be beaten.

Um? How is this going? Goncourt's head was filled with questions.

After a while, violent gunfire rang out again! This time the gunfire didn't come from the east, but came straight down from the mountain! It was obvious that the hilltop to the north was also occupied by the other party.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Goncourt's men held their heads one by one, huddled behind walls, under the eaves, and in the temple gates, shouting for their fathers and mothers to hide. Those guys with muskets were trembling all over, and no one was there. Dare to shoot back.

Until then, the feeling of being surrounded finally entered Gong Gour's mind. He hid in the room and screamed angrily, kicked chairs, threw tea bowls, slapped the table and cursed: "Are all the sentries on Beishan Mountain dead? Why didn't they even fire an arrow? Damn it!"

"Sir, we are indeed surrounded. If we don't break out now, we will be dead."

"Send the order, the whole army breaks out..."

Before he finished speaking, another burst of intensive gunshots was heard outside. After a while, a gray-faced guy ran in and wailed: "Sir, it's over! It's all over! They shot our horses from the North Mountain. , there are countless dead and injured horses in the yard, lying in a large area, and other horses are also out of rein! How can we run without horses!"

Before Gong Gour could say anything, another subordinate ran in from outside and shouted: "My lord! My lord! The brothers have all broken up the camp and are now grabbing horses and preparing to escape!"

"What?" Gong Gour looked shocked, stamped his foot angrily, and said to several of his team leaders: "These gang of thieves want to break our legs first, and then chop off our heads! Horses!" It is our fate, we cannot wait to die here. At this point, the only way to break out is to break out! Ask all the brothers to mount their horses! If there are not enough horses, then two people will ride one. After rushing out of the temple gate, run west and south. Be sure to spread out. Let everyone go their separate ways and gather again at the hill to the southwest!"

Following Gong Gur's order, all the two thousand Mongolian soldiers in the temple went crazy. They were either one person and one horse, or two people and one horse, and some were running around, swarming out like a nest of ants. They rushed out of the temple gate and dispersed, no matter whether it was west or south, like headless flies. The sound of gunfire from the east, west and north suddenly became more violent. The Dadianzi in front of the temple was filled with dead and wounded bandits and horses.

Woo~~~

The conch rings! In addition to the mountains to the north, more than 200 Northern Navy troops from the east and west routes began to mount their horses and charge.

The yellow gelding under Timur galloped and trembled all over, like a violent lion. Its neck was straight, its hooves were as agile and brisk as beating drums, and it quickly ran to the front of the team. Suddenly, he found a very familiar figure among the people fleeing in front of him, so he shouted without thinking: "Goncourt!"

I wipe it! Immediately, Gong Guer heard someone calling his name. When he turned around, his soul was frightened.

At this moment, Timur had his sights set on Gong Gur. The yellow gelding under him was running very fast, getting closer and closer to the opponent. The two horses were running one behind the other, racing like a race. Gong Gour's iron-green horse was suddenly hit while running, and he and the horse suddenly fell to the ground. He rolled several times because of his strength, his hands and face were bruised, and his body and face were covered with snow.

Timur pulled up the reins fiercely, but the crazy yellow gelding refused to stop and was about to pass by Gong Gour. His heart skipped a beat, he gritted his teeth, stared, let go of the reins with his left hand, and jumped with all his strength, from He jumped up high on his horse, and the rifle in his hand turned into a big stick, and he slashed at the opponent.

Gong Gour was also furious at this time, knowing that if he didn't deal with the other party, he would have no way to survive. He hurriedly jumped to the right to avoid the opponent's "big stick". Before Timur could stand up, he stretched out his foot and kicked him hard. Then he rushed forward and punched Timur, which immediately hit Timur with stars in his eyes. .

Timur couldn't care less. He threw away his rifle and punched back a few times, but because he was pinned down by the opponent, he couldn't exert any strength at all. The two fought for a while. Timur endured the pain and felt a strong force on his waist. He pressed the opponent under him and then gave him a good beating.

"This punch is for Siqin!"

"This punch is for the Bei Navy!"

After a few heavy punches, Timur's hands were broken, and Gong Gur's face was bleeding, blood was coming from his mouth and nose, and even the corners of his eyes were broken. After a while, the opponent was beaten so hard that he could only breathe out.

Only then did Timur stand up and pick up his rifle. He pulled the bolt and saw that there were two bullets inside, and then pointed the muzzle at Gong Gur's head...

"Pfft~~" Gong Guur spat blood into the sky, looked at the mortal enemy in front of him with dull eyes, and said vaguely: "Siqin...she is still alive?"

"Gon Gur, listen carefully now! I, Timur, a once humble slave, will kill you today on behalf of those who have been harmed by you!"

At this time, what appeared in front of Gong Gur's eyes was not the empty success or failure, but the scene when Siqin married him as a concubine.

boom! A stream of blood instantly turned the snow red, and then continued to expand...
