"Your fleet also has more than a thousand marine regiments, doesn't it? I believe they can also attack Qin Gang's army. If you need horses, I can lend them to you." Vasily said.
Both of them want to attack Changshan City, because they both know that Changshan Prefecture is a big piece of fat!
There are countless gold and silver treasures, horses, cattle and sheep... If you are lucky, you may be able to capture the governor Xiao Chen alive and escort him to Her Majesty the Queen to ask for merit. What is the quality of that?
If we have better luck, we can completely occupy the entire Changshan Prefecture. Perhaps Her Majesty the Queen will be happy and directly designate them as Governors of Changshan, so that they can be on an equal footing with Governor Peter of Shunfeng Port!
The main reason is that the risk is very small, because according to intelligence, the current defense of Changshan Prefecture is extremely empty. There are only some city defense teams guarding it. So, can't it be done with a casual charge?
Maybe there is no need to attack. As long as they approach the city, the people in the city will immediately open the city gates and surrender.
"The situation is unclear now, and Governor Peter has not sent any orders. We cannot act rashly. Jinsha City is very important. Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous!" Ivan knew what the two of them were thinking, and immediately sternly refused.
"I think General Ivan is too cautious. The Chinese are vulnerable. Twenty thousand fresh cavalry can sweep across the entire Yanyun County...but we have more than thirty thousand troops here. If we just defend the city without
If you take the initiative, people will laugh, and the Queen will definitely be very unhappy." Vasily said.
"I was about to say this, haven't you ever thought about how Xiao Chen led less than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled men to defeat 20,000 fresh cavalry?" Ivan frowned.
"That's because there were changes within the Xianbo tribe, and Prince Mojie Wanyan Pingqiu gathered an army to go south to fight with the Xianbo tribe, so the little prince Moro had to retreat. Otherwise, how could Xiao Chen possibly
Defeat them?" Olga retorted.
"This is what we know, but there must be something else we don't know." Ivan remained unmoved, "Please, two generals, please do not act rashly. Our mission is just to defend Jinsha City and wait for Governor Peter's order!"
"Haha, I'm afraid if we wait just one more day, Governor Peter and the others will capture Changshan Prefecture, and we won't be able to get anything by then!" Vasily was very dissatisfied with Ivan's stubbornness.
"I think Vasily you are too optimistic about this battle, so let me ask you, have you ever thought that we are now in a state of being attacked from both sides? There is Qin Gang's 20,000 army to the west, and the United Navy of Dazhou on the sea. They will definitely
They launched an attack at the same time!" Ivan said.
"Hahaha, General Ivan, you don't really think that their mere hundred ships can defeat our Armada, do you?" Olga burst into laughter because he felt that Ivan's worries were really unnecessary.
Got it!
"I only know that Emperor Zhou is not a fool, and Governor Xiao Chen is not a fool either." Ivan said lightly, "And I don't want to be a fool."
"General Ivan, if I understand correctly, you mean to say that Olga and I are both fools, right?" Vasily said with a long face.
"That's not what I meant. I just reminded you two not to underestimate the enemy. This is war, not a child's play!" Ivan said.
"Compared to fools, cowards are more pitiable!" Olga said loudly.
"General Olga, I ask you to take back these words." Ivan said coldly, "Otherwise, I will remove you from your post in the name of contempt for the authority of the superior!"
"Haha, who are you trying to scare? I am the rear admiral of the fleet appointed by the Queen herself. I am only temporarily under your command. You have no power to remove me from my post. Don't forget that you are only a rear admiral yourself! If Governor Peter hadn't recommended you
You are the general of Jinsha City, and you are still herding horses in Hipporia!"
Olga didn't care and retorted.
"Hey, hey, Olga, I think you have to apologize to General Ivan!" Vasily cheered on.
"Shut up, Vasily, you have no right to order me!" Olga said angrily.
The other generals on the side were afraid that they would fall out if they continued to quarrel, so they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. After talking for a long time, Olga apologized to Ivan in a perfunctory manner.
But it was obvious that his anger had not subsided, and he did not even attend the dinner and simply walked away.
"Although Olga is very rude, there is some truth in what he says." At the dinner, Vasily drank a whole bottle of vodka and got a little drunk. Regardless of Ivan's ugly face, he repeated the old conversation.
"I see that all the gentlemen have eaten and drank enough. Today's celebration dinner is over!" Ivan ignored him and ordered the banquet to disperse.
"General Ivan, I think we need to talk." Vasily rushed over and took Ivan's arm, insisting on having another debate with him about sending troops to Changshan City.
"Vasily, you are drunk! I think you need to sober up." Ivan ordered his soldiers, "Take him a cold bath to clear his mind!"
A few soldiers picked up Vasily without any explanation and threw him directly into a small ditch outside the courtyard. This is what the Russians call "sobering up".
Seeing Vasily yelling like a clumsy bear in the ditch, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Vasily became so angry that he grabbed a long knife from the waist of the guard who helped him up, and shouted that he would fight the person who laughed at him...
A good celebration dinner ended in such a farce-like way that it ended unhappily.
However, it was said that Xiao Chen and the others had not started to collect the "remnants and defeated generals" until they had escaped from the gate of another camp more than ten miles away. They checked the number of people and found that there were basically no casualties. This was also thanks to the fact that everyone went into battle lightly and escaped at a very fast speed.
Quite fast...
"The Ross cavalry is really fierce. I thought we could resist for a while, but I didn't expect that the bird rushed directly in front of me in a flash!" Xiao Chen recalled the danger just now, and he seemed to be frightened.
"They are all heavily armored cavalry. Once they charge, they must not stop." Wei Yuntian said with a smile, "But I see that the grandsons were very tired, and many of the horses were foaming at the foam."
"It would be better if we just fight back! Why do we have to run? It's not like we can't do it!" Monk Huihai was very dissatisfied with Dugulou's strategy of only allowing defeat but not victory.
It's okay to be deceitful, and it's normal to pretend to be defeated, but we clearly have thousands of fresh troops, why not take advantage of the Ross cavalry to launch a counterattack when they are tired from charging, and kill them all?
What’s the point of having to act out the defeat like this!
"Boss, you fought a very good defeat in this battle. It was very realistic. If you weren't our boss, I would have given you the first credit!" Dugulou greeted Xiao Chen from afar as he walked out of the camp.
"Han Zhong, what you said sounds weird!" Xiao Chenxin said, "What the hell does it mean to lose a battle and win a good battle?"
