"Meng Zan is already behind bars and it is difficult to escape..."
"Great Khan, at this time, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth! For the current plan, we can only expand our territory for Mongolia first."
Zhong Xingyue said with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Territory? The land outside the grassland is either occupied by Tsarist Russia or Longyan. Where can we expand..." Ironwood City shook his head.
"You mean... Youzhou!?"
But as he spoke, Tiemucheng suddenly reacted and his expression went blank.
Is this a bit too much?
Meng Zan is fighting in the front, and once the 200,000 troops leave, Youzhou will definitely be an empty city.
He took advantage of the situation and entered...
This is unjustifiable!
"Commander, no matter what, they are our allies. If they attack from behind, it will be difficult to form an alliance in the future."
Tiemucheng prides himself on being a gentleman, but he really can't do this kind of thing.
One is that I'm sorry, and the other is that Meng Zan is not a fool. If they don't send out a large number of troops, Meng Zan will definitely leave people to guard them. It is not that easy to take down Youzhou City with sufficient defense force. .
"Hahahaha, the Great Khan is worrying too much. Of course we will not attack our allies. We can capture Youzhou City without any bloodshed."
Zhong Xingyue stroked his goatee and chuckled.
"The military advisor just said it's okay!"
"The method is very simple, just three words, Wu Liangha!"
Zhongxing Yue said softly.
Meng Zan is guarding Ironwood City, which Zhongxingyue knows very well. Therefore, if Ironwood City does not dispatch enough troops, Youzhou City will also have corresponding defenses.
But if the Mongolian cavalry comes out again, then Mengzan will think that the rear is safe. At this time, Wu Liangha in the northeast can lead a surprise attack. The 50,000 Wu Liangha warriors will capture the area where less than 10,000 people are stationed. Youzhou City should not be a problem.
Afterwards, Meng Zan should also be wiped out. At that time, they can just start "dividing the spoils".
There are many benefits to working with Wu Liangha.
First, Wu Liangha did not dare to break the agreement and monopolize Youzhou City.
Now that Long Yan has developed Liaodong, Youzhou is no longer Long Yan's border city, but has become an important strategic point that can cut off the Central Plains and the Northeast. If this strategic point is lost, Long Yan must take it. Back.
Even if Wu Liangha was ambiguous with Tsarist Russia, and even had Tsarist Russia's funding, only 50,000 people could not withstand Long Yan's attack.
In order not to fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting alone, they could only give up part of the land to Ironwood City, and then form a situation where both sides jointly resist the enemy.
Second, it can increase the unity of the two tribes after joining forces to fight against the enemy.
Once they have been together for a long time, Zhongxing Yue will be sure to hold the Uliangha Tribe in his hands again. At that time, the strength of the two tribes will increase greatly, and they will have an absolute advantage over the Wala! At that time, we will think of some ways to recall Oara, and finally, deal with the Junggar tribe...
This is not only a land grab, but also the first step towards the unification of Mongolia!
After listening to Zhongxingyue's explanation, Tiemucheng suddenly understood. The doubts in his heart were solved by Zhongxingyue in a few words!
"Long Yan has Liu Zheng, and we in Mongolia have a military advisor. The talent of the military advisor is not inferior to that of Liu Zheng. The foundation of our Mongolia will be handed over to the military advisor. I hope that the military advisor can lead our clan to unify Mongolia and unify Long Yan!"
…
Mongolia, Uliangha Tribe
In the tent of Ulyanha Khan, the leader Kilibal Khan was playing with the fire blunderbuss in his hand.
This fire blunderbuss was given to him by the Russians.
Load the gunpowder, load the projectiles, and then aim at the wooden stake tied to the cowhide.
With a "bang" sound, the projectile flew out in the flames, directly penetrated the cowhide, and was deeply embedded in the wooden stake.
Such a huge power shocked Kilibal. His hand trembled, and the fire blunderbuss fell directly to the ground.
"This thing is quite powerful."
Kilibal said, then walked down and picked up the fire blunderbuss.
The guns were aimed at several of his commanders unconsciously, but these commanders were frightened.
"I didn't fill it with gunpowder, it's okay." Kilibal rolled his eyes at everyone, then returned to his seat and started playing again.
"It's such a small gadget, but it's quite powerful. Even our bows and arrows are no match." Kilibal sighed with emotion.
At this time, a captain below spoke.
"Khan, I don't think so. Although these marbles are powerful, the loading process is too cumbersome and complicated. With the effort of loading, we prairie warriors have already shot out ten arrows. This thing is just a decoration. Fight? I think let's forget it." The Captain said with disdain, and the other centurions and captains all expressed their approval of the Captain's attitude.
They are a people on horseback, and they value bows and horses the most. They don't even bother to use such impractical tricks.
"Hmph, don't think of this thing too simply. This thing is really powerful. You should know very well how strong Ironwood City's army is. However, such an army was defeated by the Tsarist Russian army. Why? It’s because of these firecrackers! Isn’t it the same with the recent war? Ironwood City commanded a hundred thousand troops to attack Long Yan, but in the end, they were beaten back with these weapons.”
After Kilibul finished speaking, all the Mongolian warriors lowered their heads. In the face of facts, hard words are useless.
"Our Mongolian army is going to undergo changes. We can no longer conquer the world blindly with bows, horses and scimitars. We must also use these firearms and strive to have one in each hand!" Kilibal said with a solemn expression.
Although I have this ambition, this ambition is somewhat difficult to achieve.
After all, this gun is too expensive.
Their firecrackers were bought from Shaona, and if they wanted a firecracker, they had to exchange five fat sheep from the grassland.
During the Little Ice Age, the pastures degraded and the scale of herdsmen's grazing was reduced. Now, the entire tribe only has 5,000 cattle and sheep.
The Ulliangha tribe could spend a lot of money to produce a thousand muskets, but for war, these muskets are of little use.
Moreover, it was not just a matter of firecrackers. The Uliangha tribe had no craftsmen, gunpowder, or projectiles. They could not get any of them, so they still had to go to the Tsarist Russians to buy them.
In order to ensure that the fire blunderbuss can fire enough, the ammunition supply must be sufficient, and as a result, the actual number of people equipped is estimated to be less than 300.
Compared with the thousands of cavalry, three hundred gunmen are obviously more powerful than the cavalry.
Unfortunately, the Fire Gun Array plan was over before it even started.
"Report! Great Khan, the envoy of Ironwood City Khan has arrived!"
Just then, Kilibal's men came to report the news.
"People from Ironwood City? What is he doing here? He doesn't want to fight against Longyan and ask me for help, right? Tell him that if he comes to ask me to send troops, there is no need to talk. Our Ulliangha tribe is in a tight situation of money and food. , I don’t have time to play with him." Kilibal replied impatiently.
