Zhao Qiang had just ordered his infantry to form a formation to meet the enemy, but Wu Si hurriedly shouted: "Our army is mostly new soldiers from various ethnic groups. The Rakshasa people have artillery. If we form an array, the Rakshasa people only need to fire one round of artillery. These new soldiers will
I’m afraid it’s about to run back, and we won’t be able to stop it then!”
Hearing what Wu Si said, Zhao Qiang also realized that if the men were arrayed, they would only serve as live targets for the Russian artillery. Under the sound of the artillery, the veterans were panicking, so why talk about these first formations?
As for the men. Once they are frightened by the Russian artillery and run back, then my plan of using them as cannon fodder to attract Russian firepower will come to nothing.
"In your opinion, what should we do?" Zhao Qiang assessed the situation and couldn't think of a good way for a while. He might as well listen to the opinions of Wu Si, a veteran of the Zhongyong Camp.
Seeing Zhao Qiang asking himself, Wu Si pointed his horse whip forward without hesitation: "The Rakshasa people are marching, and we are marching too. It is better for my subordinates to lead their troops to drive these new soldiers forward, while Qianhu leads a large group of cavalry behind.
When the subordinates fight against the Rakshasa people, Qianhu will choose the opportunity to defeat the enemy!"
After hearing Wu Si's words, Zhao Qiang's eyebrows lit up. Yes, our side is marching, and the Russian army is also marching. As long as our side rushes forward with all our strength, the Russian army will be caught off guard. They have no spies who can detect the movements of the Shouyi City Army.
, so knowing the movements of Zhao Qiang's troops, he thought that they were still preparing to defend the city at this time, and if they suddenly collided with the oncoming men, they would definitely mess up their position. Originally, Zhao Qiang wanted to lead his cavalry to attack now.
The Russian army, but thought that these two hundred and sixty people could only be regarded as mounted infantry, far from meeting the requirements of cavalry. So they wisely gave up this idea, and decided to use men of all ethnic groups to attract the Russian army's firepower and then lead the cavalry to kill. Insurance.
First, if these cavalrymen who dare to fight are defeated, they will no longer be able to fight against the Russian army.
At that moment, Zhao Qiang ordered Wu Si to lead sixty cavalrymen to the rear group of infantry, and loudly ordered them all to run forward, telling them that as long as they ran three miles forward, they could camp and rest, and there was no need to march again today.
After hearing this, the men, contrary to the state of being slow and unproductive at work, suddenly became energetic, and with a roar, they all ran forward. The ground was not far away for three miles, and if they ran forward with all their strength, it would be half a column.
Good time. As long as you get to the place, today can be over. We will talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow. God bless, those Rakshasa people can just go back.
Sauron's troops, who were running at the front, took the biggest steps and were in the most passionate mood. They were more than a hundred meters away from the Daur people behind.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I heard that your noble wife Lin Na was captured by those Qing people."
"Vladimir, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty Commander, I have no other intention. I just want to remind you that if you fail to rescue your wife, the earl will definitely be very angry."
The Russian army marching along the river was about three miles long. At the front were 600 Ewenki troops, while the 400 musketeers were following behind the Ewenki. At the end of the team, there were dozens of
A strong man who was forcibly marched forward with difficulty on four carriages carrying artillery. At this time, the Russian commander Cooper's face was not very good, because the two officers walking with him made him very uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable. The officer on his left is named Vladimir. He was sent to the Far East from Moscow two years ago and recently served as the captain of the Nerchinsk Governor's Guard. In terms of official position, he is one level higher than the commander of his small stronghold.
, but because this time the Governor named Cooper to be responsible for everything, Vladimir had no choice but to maintain superficial obedience to Cooper. He was always sarcastic along the way, which made Cooper very angry, but he could not do anything to him.
Yes, because in addition to the one hundred musketeers he led, the other three hundred musketeers were all his subordinates.
The tall officer walking on Cooper's right was named Tolbuzin. He was a professional officer who had been in the Far East for seven or eight years. Unlike Vladimir's arrogance towards Cooper, Tolbuzin was very polite to Cooper.
, but Cooper knew that this kind of politeness was superficial. In his heart, Tolbuzin and Vladimir were not themselves.
When he learned that the stronghold was occupied by the Qing people, Vladimir saluted Cooper even more, saying that he could do it both inside and outside his words. Although Tolbuzin did not say this, his silence was in Cooper's eyes.
, also looked on completely indifferently and even gloated a little.
When Vladimir mentioned his wife Lin Na, Cooper's face turned very pale. He knew very well what the consequences would be if his wife fell into the hands of the Qing Dynasty. He also knew very well that if he could not be rescued, then his father-in-law Wa
Count Kovsky will definitely not spare himself.
Seeing that Cooper turned his head and ignored him, Vladimir made a so-called expression. In his eyes, if this poor guy Cooper hadn't been so lucky and had a relationship with the Earl, how could he be where he is today?
status, it is even less likely that the newly arrived Governor-General would order him to take charge of this eastward movement.
"The Governor sent me and Tolbuzin here with Your Excellency to open up a larger territory for the Russian Empire, attract the attention of the Qing Dynasty in Ningguta and Jilin areas of the Qing Dynasty, and reduce the pressure on us in Heilongjiang."
After the three of them walked forward in silence for a few hundred meters, Vladimir spoke again. He glanced at Torzintai, who had an expression on his face, and then at Cooper, who looked unhappy, as if he particularly liked pinching his sore spots.
Seemingly casually but deliberately, he said: "But Commander, I don't know how you arranged the personnel left behind, and you actually allowed the Qing people to occupy your stronghold easily. You have to know that this is the moment I came to Nerchinsk.
, this is the first time I heard that someone from the Qing Dynasty took the initiative to seize our imperial stronghold. As an emperor, I feel deeply regretful and ashamed about this."
"The Qing people who captured my stronghold are just a small group of roving criminals. They will never be our opponents, let alone have the courage to fight with us!"
Cooper felt that the truth must be made clear to Vladimir. Those damn Qing people were just lucky.
"After we arrive at the stronghold, you will easily arrive. The gate of the fortress will be opened for us. Of course, you will also arrive at the fortress where my wife is waiting for me."
Cooper was about to say more when he saw the Ewenki in front suddenly stopped and started to make a commotion.
"what happened?"
The behavior of the Ewen people made Cooper very angry. Are these damn Ewenki people going to have trouble with me? When he was about to ask his guards to find out what was going on, he saw the leader of the Ewenki people, Apa, running over in panic.
, shouted in fluent Russian:
"Your Excellency, Commander, we found a large number of Qing people running towards us from the front!"
