Chapter 403 Welcome home!
"ah!"
Buyanchechen Khan woke up from the nightmare. The nightmare he had just now was so terrible. He dreamed that he, his relatives and his tribe were shot and killed by his vicious enemies.
Why is this happening? For more than half a month, he led more than 200,000 Tatar cavalry to cross the border, but was repelled by the enemy with an unheard of terrible firearm. He suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw his troops.
Now an enemy cavalry with only a few thousand people entered the prairie. He led more than 10,000 Tatar cavalry to encircle and suppress it. Unexpectedly, he encountered the terrible weapon again. Nine thousand Tatar warriors all fell on the battlefield with a distance of several hundred meters between the enemy.
Why did such a vicious enemy appear? Buyanchechen Khan never want to encounter such an enemy again. Every time, too many Tatar warriors would die. Seeing one Tatar warrior after another fall on the battlefield, as the Tatar Khan, he was heartbroken.
However, Buyanchechen Khan was unable to stop all this from happening. So many Tatar warriors were killed in battle, which made Buyanchechen Khan feel heartbroken. More importantly, Buyanchechen Khan had a very bad feeling in his mind. Such a powerful enemy, the prairie may no longer be safe.
Buyanchechen Khan no longer dared to think about it anymore, he was afraid.
With the end of a war, the Lancer Division's journey to return was very smooth, and they had never encountered any enemy obstacles. Occasionally, the Tatar cavalry team appeared, who came to monitor the Lancer Division.
The prairie occupied by the Tatars is so vast that it is not easy to gather an army of more than 10,000 people to attack the Lancer Division in a short period of time. It is basically impossible to gather more Tatar cavalry before the Lancer Division returns to the Bohai Institute.
However, the Lancer Division has not relaxed its vigilance and is worried that an accident will happen.
On the twelfth day after the Lancer Division entered the prairie, they finally returned to the Bohai Institute.
The Lancer Division is still a distance from the Bohai Institute. The Lancers and the 83rd Division scouts first sent the news that the Lancer Division was about to return to the Bohai Institute. The two companies and a platoon of Lancers who had returned for several days in advance learned the news and rode directly on their war horses and left the Bohai Institute to go north to welcome their comrades back.
Wang Shengrong, Zhang Xinquan and others climbed the city wall, and the soldiers of the 83rd Division also gathered on the city wall, waiting for the return of the lances.
Soon, Wang Shengrong saw some black spots appearing in the distance through the telescope. The black spots became larger and larger. At the front was a team of lances leading the way, behind them were large groups of cattle, horses and sheep. Among the cattle, horses and sheep were three thousand Tatars captured by the lances. These Tatars were all riding on war horses, but the war horses they rode were connected together with ropes, while the other lances were scattered around.
"I'm finally back."
Looking at the direction of Bohai Sea, Tian Zhe sighed, this was the first time he led the Lancer Division to fight the prairie. He only went deep into the prairie for three days, and had only experienced several small-scale battles in one war, but it took more than eight days to return.
Winning the battle and seizing a large number of cattle, horses and sheep brings excitement, but living on the prairie for more than ten days, and always need to be alert to the arrival of the Tatars, which also makes the Lancers very tired.
As long as you return to the Bohai Institute, the lances can have a good rest. The more than 40,000 sheep seized can also allow the lances to eat meat in big mouthfuls, and maybe they can get the opportunity to drink.
There is a prohibition within the People's Army. In most cases, no matter soldiers or officers, they are allowed to drink. Even if they can drink in a few cases, they are not allowed to drink too much, and it is even more impossible to drink until they are drunk.
"This time we went deep into the prairie to fight, killed tens of thousands of Tatars, seized so many cattle, horses and sheep, and should be able to drink a bar once."
Similar thoughts emerged in the minds of many lancers.
Finally, the Bohai Sea is near.
"Welcome home!" several people shouted.
"Welcome home!" tens of thousands of people shouted together.
Listening to the shouts of the soldiers of the 83rd Division and the soldiers of the border camp, many lancers burst into tears, and they finally returned home.
Outside the city gate, Tian Zhe dismounted and walked to Wang Shengrong.
"Fortunately, I'm not disgraced."
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. You can quickly enter the gate and rest, have a good sleep, and when you wake up, we will hold a celebration banquet for the Lancer Division." Wang Shengrong said with a smile.
"Abide by the order!"
The Bohai Station is so big that there are not enough houses for the Lancers to live in. The soldiers of the 83rd Division temporarily gave their houses to the Lancers to rest.
The lances entered the Bohai Institute without going to rest immediately. They did not forget their other "companion" and fed the war horses that had been with them. The 83rd Division also washed their bodies slightly before entering the house to sleep.
The lances were all going to bed, but the 83rd Division and the border camp were busy. The 3,000 Tatars captured by the Lancer Division needed to be resettled, and the more than 50,000 cattle, horses and sheep seized by the Lancer Division also needed to be resettled, and the celebration banquet was also prepared for the Lancers.
If the Lancer Division suddenly returns with prisoners and spoils, it will also cause the 83rd Division and the border military camp to be in a hurry. The matter of 3,000 prisoners and more than 50,000 cattle, horses and sheep was sent to the Bohai Institute five days ago. In the past five days, the Bohai Institute has mobilized everyone to prepare.
Now there are enough houses in the Bohai Institute to detain 3,000 prisoners. The rooms where the prisoners are detained are different from those where the lancers sleep. There is no big problem to squeeze more prisoners into one room as much as possible.
There is no need to prepare bedding for the prisoners. It would be nice not to beat and scold the prisoners at will. There is food and food and place to live. The People's Army is good enough for the prisoners.
More than 50,000 cattle, horses and sheep were temporarily placed outside the Bohai Sea Site to raise. After a previous battle, the Lancer Division went to the grasslands. I am afraid that the Tatars would not dare to invade the Bohai Sea Site. There would be no problems with raising cattle, horses and sheep outside.
Next, a small number of sheep will be selected to slaughter and held a celebration banquet for the lances. The soldiers from the 83rd Division and the border military camps can also enjoy the feeling of eating meat with big stutters.
Wang Shengrong also sent a batch of wine to Bohai. These wines were obtained by gentry and merchants. The amount transported to Bohai is not large. The soldiers can drink a few sips each to satisfy their cravings, so that the officers can drink a little more.
The Lancers slept until it was almost dark and woke up by the scent of the barbecue outside.
There was not enough space in the Bohai Station to hold a celebration banquet for the Lancers. The celebration banquet was held directly outside the Bohai Station (outside the pass). The bonfires had already risen one by one, and the whole sheep were skewed together on the flames. The lancers who walked out of the city gate, as well as the 83rd Division and soldiers from the border camp gathered around the bonfires according to the squad.
The bowls and chopsticks are arranged, and a jar of wine is delivered. The celebration banquet is about to begin!
