Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 624 The End of Goncourt
Night, the vast night.

The grassland fell asleep in an uneasy atmosphere, the howling north wind made noise in the willow forest, and a few owls stood on the dry branches and howled strangely.However, after a while the owls stopped hooting, and a messy hoofbeat startled them.Not long after, in a room in the great temple, a lantern made in Beihai Town was lit up, and then three figures emerged from the darkness.

"My lord, where are we going next? In my opinion, this place cannot stay for long."

"Why don't you go to Wulianghai Banner, it's better to be far away from the station."

"What does the great lama think?"

"Very good. The poor monk thinks it's best for you to leave this place as soon as possible. Although Goncourt's method is good, but no matter how well you dress up, you will be spotted sooner or later. It is better to evacuate before they find out. This is more dangerous. Those herdsmen created an illusion that the Northern Sea Pirates killed people and set fires, and Goncourt went through fire and water for the people; and those Mongols who joined the Northern Sea Pirates were all traitors who forgot their ancestors."

The three people who spoke were the false Northern Navy company commander, Goncour, who led his subordinates to burn, kill and loot during the day, and Lama Lobsang, the envoy of Jebtsundamba Hutuktu.

Although the Manchu Qing could not beat Beihai Town, they were unwilling to lose such a large area of ​​Khalkha.Especially for the few Hutuktus of Outer Mongolia headed by Jebtsundamba, they could not go back to their homes, so they could only stay in Rehe.As for the Manchu Qing with the support of Beihai Town and Fukang'an's desperate efforts, after finally taking down the land of Gurkha, looking back at it again, there are also 1 dissatisfaction.

Although the task force sent by Beihai Town is currently only advocating equality with herdsmen and abolishing slavery, both the Zasak Banners and Lama Banners feel threatened to varying degrees.Once the personal attachment is completely removed, those who used to be aloof will become polished commanders.

In this way, both inside and outside came up with the same idea, and decided to take advantage of Beihai Town's unsteady foothold to add chaos, destroy its image in the minds of the herdsmen, and make it impossible for them to look south.On the Qing side, the Ministry of Punishment, the Lifan Academy, and the Shangyu Backup Office sent people to the north, and the lamas also helped to contact those who were dissatisfied with Beihai Town in the Zhasak Banners.Now the entire Khalkha anti-Beihai team is not only the one in Goncourt, but also in the six tribes of Khalkha, with a small number of thousands of people and a large number of two to 3000 people.

Although it's useless to do so, for Liu Sheng, Fan Tong, and Liu Zheng, it's a dung beetle hitting your feet—it's disgusting if you don't bite.

The three people in the tent drank two bowls of milk tea. Lama Lobsang shouted outside, and waited for two of his men to bring in a heavy box before he signaled to Goncourt, "Here is 1000 taels of silver. Let me bring it to you. If there is not enough money and food, send someone to Kukuto Luohai to get it."

"Thank you for the Buddha's concern. I, Goncourt, would like to do my best for the Buddha!" ​​After Goncourt finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and then said, "What the great lama said is true. I will try to get Huite under the rear banner within three days. Several tribes swept it all, and retreated to Wulianghai Banner on the fourth day."

At the same time as the three were discussing secretly, a team of more than 300 Northern Navy cavalry and work teams had come five miles away from the Goncourt brigade.As the battalion commander, Zhou Zhong mobilized his subordinates before the war.

"The scouts just came back to report that the enemies are eating and drinking, and we want to give them a surprise attack before dawn! Brothers, it is because of this group of bastards that the people in the northern banners of Khovd are scolding Us! The common people are holding sheep and giving them to the enemy, and for us, they spit on their faces! Today, we must wipe out this group of people. What kind of Kalkha eagles, I want them to become grasslands today Pinch-tail wolf!"

"Bring me the map."

Following Zhou Zhong's order, a staff officer spread a map drawn by the drone on the ground in the tent.When all the officers turned their attention to the map, Zhou Zhong asked the two scouts to report again.After the scout finished talking about the situation, he said:
"The enemy is likely to escape within a day or two. They are very vigilant. There are three sentry posts on each side of the house. The outermost sentry post is three miles away. It is difficult for us to approach them. Furthermore, our troops are insufficient. The siege may not work, but we can lure them out and annihilate them in one fell swoop on Dadianzi in the south of the temple. Before dawn, our troops rushed to Boroyqigatu in three groups. Led by Yunyan along the mountain road, we must Take down the mountain in the north to block their escape route to the north; the second route led by Wang Rong blocked the side passage on the west side of the temple; the third route led by me entered from the east of the temple. come south.

The tasks of each department are like this. I will shoot first along the way, and the noise will become louder. When I drive the enemy out of the temple, their first reaction must be to flee north. When the time comes, Yunyan will shoot. Get a machine gun for you.In Wang Rong's way, he was never allowed to expose himself. Only me and Yunyan disrupted the enemy. When they flee for their lives, you shoot again.In this way, the enemy will rush here and there in the trap we set, and when they are in a panic, I will let people blow the Conch, and charge from three directions to 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.To strive for a quick victory, we ran long distances and had limited ammunition.Now you go back and mobilize and prepare separately, and set off on time at two o'clock in the morning. "

This was the first time that Zhou Zhong led a team to fight alone since the first battle in Chahan Tuoluohai.After a month of continuous pursuit, his originally young face became very rough.With an unshaven chin and wrinkles between the brows, he looks like a middle-aged man in his 40s.Facing the map, he repeatedly reviewed the plans he had made before, for fear that this battle would not be fought well.

At two o'clock in the night, more than 300 Beihai sailors left the camp to assemble.After Zhou Zhong and other companies finished reporting, they ordered the ministries to set off.

Timur carried his rifle and followed Wang Rong with his horse. At this moment, he only had one goal in mind, to catch that bastard Goncourt and avenge Siqin!
On that cold winter night last year, after Siqin and old man Dorji escaped from the village together, they went straight to Uliasutai.When I saw it, thousands of troops gathered, the barracks were heavily guarded, and my eyes were darkened. How can I find them?
Siqin was sad and anxious. After running around and not recovering well after giving birth, Siqin passed out at the gate of the barracks.When she woke up, she was already lying on the hospital bed of Beihai Navy Clinic.This girl is not afraid of hard work. When she learned that Han doctors are free to see a doctor, she silently helped with some cleaning and cleaning tasks, and Dorji also did odd jobs.

Siqin stayed in the clinic for more than a month, and when her body was almost recovered, the clinic staff also fell in love with this Mongolian girl who rushed to do all kinds of work, so they persuaded her to stay and learn to be a nurse.

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

When Liu Sheng heard this, he said that we must help with this task!So he sent a telegram to Kobdo.In this way, Timur finally found out about Siqin.At the end of last summer, Timur met Siqin while he was going home to visit relatives. The two fateful mandarin ducks hugged each other and cried, and the misunderstanding was cleared up.

The Mongols in this day and age do not have the same serious concept of chastity as the Han people. If one's own woman is snatched away, it can only prove that one is incompetent.One must know that when Bortie was snatched away and she was pregnant with Jochi, when Genghis Khan killed the Merqid people, 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, Goncourt worriedly took a few soldiers out to make a patrol.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 to the north.During the patrolling process, he asked his subordinates if there was a sentry on the mountain.His subordinates said no, Goncourt was furious, and personally sent twenty people to the mountain to watch the night, so he went back to sleep with peace of mind.

The iron horses on the eaves of the temple blew in the night wind and rattled, making Goncourt unable to sleep. He got up and smoked two bags of cigarettes. It was past noon, and for some reason, Siqin came to mind.He doesn't cherish people when they are around, and when they are gone, he always dreams back at midnight.

"Just like what Abu said, evil fate!" Goncourt fell asleep after thinking about it.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Goncourt was awakened by sharp rifle shots and dull explosions. He was afraid that it was an illusion in his dream, so he listened quietly for a while. The gunshots came from the east, and they became more and more intense.

broken!Northern Navy is here!

Goncourt knew that only the Northern Navy had the sound of a weapon firing like this, and that the sound of a shotgun was not so loud.He slammed down the kang, shouting and kicking the soldiers, the two guys who were sleeping like dead pigs sat up in a daze, not knowing what happened.

"Damn it! I'll wait for you ghosts to protect me. I'll see Hades long ago!" Goncourt drew out his knife, hurriedly put on his cotton armor, and headed out of the house.

At this time, the east was just turning white, gray clouds covered the morning light, and the sound of gunshots, explosions, bullets whistling, people shouting and horses neighing
Several leaders of the team came running in their clothes and trousers, and reported to Goncourt: "My lord! Something is wrong! We are surrounded by the Beihai Navy!"

Goncourt cursed angrily: "Shut up! Who said you're surrounded? You don't have ears? Listen, there's only gunshots from the east."

"My lord, let's not be trapped in this ruined temple, it's better to leave as soon as possible."

Goncourt didn't even look at him, and one of the opponent's soldiers said: "Go to the roof and see how the enemy's troops are deployed."

The follower immediately climbed up to the roof with the help of others, stretched his neck to look around for a while, and reported loudly: "There are no enemies on the south, north, and west sides, only a group of people and horses on the east side, rushing towards us." !"

"how many people?"

"About, it seems."

Before the entourage could finish speaking, he suddenly rolled and fell down from the roof.Everyone jumped in fright and ran away, only to see that the man fell to the ground, half of his head was gone, and his brains were splashed all over the place.

"My lord, it's terrible! Get on the horse! I'll tell my brothers."

"Stop! Why panic! We are not surrounded, there must not be many of them, and we will be fooled when we go out! Listen to my order, no one is allowed to rush out, gather all the muskets, as long as the temple is occupied, come and fight one by one!"

He turned his head and said to another leader: "You take people out from the west, walk around the foot of the mountain, and charge from the flank!"

As soon as the voice fell, the gunshots outside suddenly disappeared.Just like the drums in the county government, once everyone arrives, the drums stop beating.

Ok?How is this going?Goncourt's head was full of question marks.

After a while, the violent gunshots sounded again!This time the gunshots did not sound from the east, but directly from the mountain!It was obvious that the hill to the north was also occupied by the opponent.

Goncourt's subordinates, seeing that the momentum was not good, hugged their heads one by one, and hid behind the walls, under the eaves, and in the temple gates, calling their parents and mothers to hide. Dare to shoot back.

Until then, the feeling of being surrounded finally entered Goncourt's mind.He hid in the room and yelled angrily, kicking chairs, throwing tea bowls, slapping the table and cursing: "Are all the sentries on Beishan dead? Why don't you even shoot a loud arrow? Damn it!"

"My lord, we are indeed surrounded. If we don't break out now, we will die."

"Send the order, the whole army rushes."

Before he finished speaking, he heard another burst of gunshots outside, and after a while, a disheveled guy ran in and cried, "My lord, it's over! It's 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 the other horses are also unbridled! How can we run without horses!"

Before Goncourt could speak, another subordinate ran in and shouted: "My lord! My lord! The brothers are in chaos, and now they are all robbing horses, ready to escape!"

"What?" Goncourt stomped his feet angrily with a startled expression on his face, and said to the leaders of his opponents, "These thieves want to break our legs first and then chop off our heads by attacking the horses! It’s our fate, we can’t wait to die here. At this point, we can only break through! Let all the brothers get on their horses! If there are not enough horses, then two people will ride one. After rushing out of the temple gate, we must disperse and run westward and southward. Let's run separately, and get together again at the hill in the southwest!"

Following Goncourt's order, the two thousand Mongolian soldiers in the temple all went crazy. They were either one man and one horse, or two people and one horse, and some ran away, rushing out like a nest of ants. After rushing out of the temple gate, they spread out, regardless of whether it is west or south, like headless chickens.The gunshots from the east, west, and north sides suddenly became more intense, and the Dadianzi in front of the temple was full of casualties and horses.

woo~~~
The conch rings!In addition to the mountains in the north, more than 200 northern navy soldiers from the east and west began to mount their horses and charge.

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

I wipe!Immediately, Goncourt heard someone calling his name, and when he turned his head, his soul was frightened away.

Now Timur spotted Goncourt, the yellow puma running under him was running fast, getting closer and closer to each other, the two horses galloped one after the other, like a race.Goncourt's iron blue horse suddenly missed while running, and the whole person, including the horse, fell to the ground.He was so forceful that he rolled several times, his hands and face were smashed, and his body and face were covered in snow.

Timur pulled up the rein fiercely, but the wild yellow pussy would not stop, it was about to pass Goncourt, his heart froze, his teeth were gritted, his eyes were wide open, he let go of the rein with his left hand, and jumped forward with all his might, from Jumping high on the horse's back, the rifle in his hand turned into a big stick, and slashed at the opponent.

Goncourt also blushed anxiously at this time, knowing that if he didn't deal with the opponent, he would have no way out.He rushed to the right, dodging the opponent's "big stick", before Timur stood up, he stretched out his foot and kicked hard, and then he rushed forward with a punch, immediately hitting Timur with staring eyes .

Timur couldn't care less, he threw away his rifle, and fought back a few punches, but because he was pressed down by the opponent, he couldn't exert any strength at all.The two fought for a while, Timur endured the pain, and with a force riveted on his waist, he slammed the opponent under him, and then he beat him hard.

"This punch is for Siqin!"

"This punch is for the Beihai Navy!"

After several heavy punches, Temur's hands were broken, and Goncourt's face was also bleeding, blood was coming out of his mouth and nose, and even the corners of his eyes were broken.After a while, the other party was beaten until he was blown out of breath.

Only then did Timur get up and pick up his rifle. He pulled the bolt and saw that there were still two bullets in it, and pointed the muzzle at Goncourt's head.
"Pfft~~" Goncourt spat blood into the sky, looked at the deadly enemy in front of him with blank eyes, and said vaguely: "Siqin, is she still alive?"

"Goncourt, 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 moment, what appeared before Goncourt's eyes was not success or failure, but the scene when Siqin married him as his concubine.

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