Chapter 641: Set out again to Hulan
Chapter 641: Set out again to Hulan
After more than ten days of effort, the convoy finally arrived at the junction of Saida and saw the pick-up personnel who had been waiting for a long time.
Hundreds of Liberation Brigade soldiers dressed in Mongolian clothes looked at the full horse-drawn carriage and smiled like flowers.
This amount of food is probably enough for them to eat for several months!
Bayakin asked the soldiers to check the food, and then took over the carriages and horses.
"Old Master, this is the remaining payment for the goods. Please help me give it to Brother Morgedai. Also, please wait for me for a while. I will show you our strength again!"
Bayajin settled more than a hundred coachmen in nearby yurts, and then conveyed the news in Hulan to Yuanshan and Ye Zhonghua through the radio.
After Ye Zhonghua understood what had happened, he immediately made a decision that the money would only be money if it was spent, otherwise it would be waste paper.
"Captain Yuanshan, my suggestion is to use a car to load half of the cargo and send it over. As for how much they can digest, it depends on their strength!"
Of course Brigade Commander Yuanshan agreed, as what they bought were all their belongings.
More than a thousand horse-drawn carriages have returned in the past few days. Assuming that each carriage carries a thousand kilograms of grain, that means there are already five hundred tons of grain.
Moreover, only half of the people have returned. If the subsequent progress goes smoothly, it is estimated that there will be thousands of tons of food.
This does not include other items, such as cotton, cloth, gold, silver, jewelry, and even a considerable number of cattle, sheep and daily necessities.
In short, Yuanshan now finally feels the true meaning of the saying: It is nice to lean against a big tree for shade.
Therefore, it is never wrong to listen to the Volunteer Army Brigade Commander Wei Dong on military matters and to Regiment Commander Ye Zhonghua on other matters!
A car and three jeeps sped towards Bayajin, and when they were almost at the yurt, they were replaced by a horse carriage.
Bayakin invited the representative of Morgedai, the old master, to come and take a look.
"Wow! So much money! I'll report to my boss right away! Can you lend me some fast horses?"
"Of course. By the way, let's escort this batch of money to Hulan. Let Brother Morgedai meet up with us! Remember to bring more gold, silver and jewelry!"
The old master clasped his fists and then disappeared into the vast grassland.
In order to get the gold, silver and jewelry quickly, Bayajin also took more than 20 volunteer soldiers and drove a carriage towards Hulan.
"Comrade Bayajin, we are carrying so much money and walking on the main road blatantly. Isn't that a bit arrogant?"
"It doesn't matter. The more public you are at a time like this, the less likely people will come to stop you. If you do something sneaky, people will suspect you."
"That makes sense. It's always dark under the lamp!"
"Besides, we still have more than 20 horses and 20 semi-automatic rifles. Most importantly, we have a group of brave and skilled warriors like you. Hahaha!"
After Bayakin finished speaking, the volunteer soldiers sent out observation posts in all directions and vigilantly observed the surrounding environment.
About three days later, Bayajin, who had been walking numbly on the grassland, finally saw the hill where he had agreed to meet the old leader.
"Comrades, keep going, we'll be there soon!"
Hope is often accompanied by risks. Just when Bayakin and others were preparing to gallop on horseback, a soldier who was on guard from the side came running towards them.
"Comrade Bayajin, a large number of Mobei People's Army soldiers have appeared on our flanks. They appear to be patrolling troops, about a hundred strong, a company-sized force!"
"Calm down, don't panic! We are just an ordinary caravan. I will stay with two soldiers beside the carriage, and the other soldiers will hide. If anything unexpected happens, open fire immediately!"
Therefore, only two soldiers were left beside the carriage, and the other soldiers all ran to the hilltop two hundred meters away like a tornado, and then quickly set up a line of defense.
Twenty soldiers equipped with semi-automatic rifles against more than one hundred cavalrymen of the Mobei People's Army have a chance of winning, but the chances are slim.
Bayakin straightened his expression and then drove forward leisurely.
The cavalry of the Mobei People's Army arrived as soon as they said they would. Hundreds of horses trampled the grassland, causing grass debris to fly all over the place and filling the sky with yellow dust.
A lonely carriage and three war horses were surrounded. At this time, Bayakin was like Don Quixote, facing more than a hundred Mongolian cavalrymen.
The arrogant Mobei People's Army was used to bullying others, and asked as if they were interrogating the enemy:
"Who are you? What's in the carriage? Where are you going?"
Bayakin lowered his head in obedience.
"My dear men of the People's Army, this poor horse team of ours is going to Hulan to deliver a batch of goods to Old Ye there. There are only some cloth in the goods, nothing else."
"Asshole! Where are the people's army masters here? You want to call us comrades! Are you laughing at us?"
Bayakin immediately fell off the horse in panic and knelt on the ground.
"No, no, how dare I mock you? You are the saviors of the grassland and the benefactors of us herdsmen. We can't even respect you enough, so how could we mock you?"
The people's army around burst into hearty laughter, and an officer of the Mobei People's Army then gently bent down, as if looking down at an ant on the ground.
"You are smart. Hurry up and leave. If you encounter the bandits from the Liberation Brigade, remember to report to us. Otherwise, you will be harmed and you won't even have time to cry!"
"Of course, of course!"
The Mobei People's Army then asked a few random questions, stabbed the carriage with a bayonet, and then whipped the horse whip and prepared to leave.
Bayajin looked at the Mobei People's Army who were about to leave and spat on the ground. Although he bowed his head to these bastards, at least he had saved the truckload of cash, which was a good deal!
Just when Bayakin thought everything was fine, three fast horses suddenly came and caught up with the Mobei People's Army that had just left.
A moment later, the Mobei People's Army came back again and surrounded Bayakin and others again.
"Captain Aguhan, we just searched this carriage and found nothing."
"Really? Captain Saihan? But I noticed that the ropes on the horse were not untied, and there were only a few holes in the canvas outside?
I remember I told you that when checking these passing merchants, we should not only check whether they are carrying any living people, but also whether they are carrying any important supplies!"
The company commander named Saihan blushed and could only nod helplessly, then dismounted and walked towards the carriage.
Bayajin's body tensed up. It seemed that he had not checked the almanac before going out today, and he was unexpectedly attacked.
Bayajin looked pale and stood in front of the carriage.
"My dear people's army lords, these are just some ordinary quilts. If they are covered with dust, they will be hard to sell!"
