At the top of the city, Vasily stared at Leonid below the city with hatred, pointed at the Qing army in the distance and said to Nikita with some worry: "This Qing army is so strange, so strange that I have never seen anything like this before.
I always feel that this army has little to do with the Qing Dynasty, and their fighting methods are also different from those of the Qing Dynasty. Before your Excellency arrived, they conducted several fierce siege battles, although in
They retreated under the bombardment of the artillery, but they had no intention of retreating. The subordinates thought that they were like a pack of evil wolves. They would not give up until the prey was bitten into a piece of fat. The best way to deal with the evil wolves was
It is necessary to encircle them with several times their strength, divide them and annihilate them, instead of taking the risk of trying to defeat them completely with a few hundred cavalry." Although Vasily hated Leonid, his responsibility told him that he must remind Nikki
Mr. Tower stopped Leonid's stupid move. He couldn't let the Cossacks attack so rashly. The rabbits would bite people when they were anxious. What's more, these wolf-like Qing people, if they desperately counterattack, the Cossacks would definitely suffer serious losses.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nikita, who had been staring at the high slope in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
"The purpose of the Governor is not to eliminate these Qing people, but to use them to attract more Qing troops..." Nikita glanced at Vasily with a thoughtful look and said lightly: "The Imperial Minister Golo and others
We will reach Nerchinsk in more than half a month. If we can't eliminate this Qing team that has penetrated into the rear before he arrives, the Governor has no right to tell Lord Goro. So for the sake of the Governor and ourselves,
These Qing people must be dealt with as soon as possible. And the best way is to attract the Qing people to one place instead of spreading them to different places, do you understand?"
Turning his attention to Leonid, who was gearing up for a big fight, Nikita suddenly sneered and said softly: "If the Cossacks can restore some confidence to the Qing people, it will be a good thing for the governor's plan."
"I wonder what the governor's intention is?"
Vasily is the city guard of Dujigensk, and now it has become the heart of the battlefield, so he feels that he needs to understand clearly what the governor has planned. From what Nikita said, it seems that Leonid and his
The Cossack cavalry seemed to have become pawns, playing some unknown role. Whether out of duty or out of curiosity, Vasily wanted to know what the Governor was thinking and how he arranged this battle.
Vasily was not an outsider. He was not a refugee like Tolbuzin. He was an officer in the Governor's Guards. He was considered a close confidant of the Governor, so Nikita did not hide anything from him and told him: "Vasili,
The Governor has prepared a big meal for these Qing people and is waiting for them to enjoy." After saying this, he smiled proudly, because this plan was exactly what he had planned for the Governor, and now, everything is going according to his intention.
Turn forward.
Nikita's words still sounded a bit confusing. Vasily was a soldier and was always uncomfortable with the way officials talked. After thinking for a while, he still didn't understand what the big meal Nikita was talking about.
What, so he simply asked directly: "I still don't understand. Sir, can you explain it in more detail?"
"Dujigensk will be the burial place of this Qing team!" Nikita no longer beat around the bush with Vasily, he said confidently: "Do you know how many troops the Governor has prepared for this battle?"
Vasily was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know."
From the time the Qing troops attacked the city to now, two reinforcements have arrived in Dujigensk. One is the musketeers and Evenkis led by Lord Nikita, and the other is brought by Leonid from Trimu.
Cossacks, but both Nikita, his musketry officers and Leonid had said that they were not the only reinforcements, so Vasily believed that there must be more reinforcements arriving later, but how many specifically
But people don’t understand.
Nikita chuckled: "In addition to us, the Governor will personally lead his guards and Nerchinsk garrison here. In addition, the Governor has also recruited a thousand Buryat people to come to participate in the battle." He paused.
He then said: "Several imperial strongholds in Heilongjiang will also jointly organize a musketeer team of 500 people to come here. Therefore, for this battle, the Governor has mobilized a total of 1,700 musketeers and 2,000 auxiliary troops.
Participating in the battle, this does not include the defenders of Wudisk, Tugursk, and Ergun City. Of course, they must be under attack from the Qing people now, but it does not matter, as long as we can attract the main force of the Qing people
When they come to Dujigensk, they will be free to participate in this battle. Oh, Vasily, do you know? This is the largest war I have participated in since I came to the East. It is really disturbing to think about it.
Excited." Nikita was really excited. As an officer, it is really rare to be able to participate in such a large-scale war. What's more important is that this war was entirely planned by him, and the Governor was just an executive.
That's all. Thinking of the victory report sent to Moscow after the war, Nikita couldn't help but feel his heart beat.
Vasily was stunned by Nikita's words. He did not expect that the governor would mobilize so many troops to support him. All the troops together accounted for almost half of the empire's military strength in the east. This number was really huge.
, so huge that if the Qing people's Heilongjiang went south with all their strength, the Qing people's Heilongjiang would completely fall into the hands of the empire. After a while, he took a breath and exclaimed: "I'm afraid all this is really a nightmare for the Qing people."
The shock and fear brought to Vasily by the bravery and madness of the team were completely driven away by such a huge plan. However, after being surprised for a while, he was stunned again because he thought of something wrong, that is, since the Governor
So many troops were sent to prepare to destroy this daring Qing army. Why did Lord Nikita agree to Leonid's stupid request? If the Cossacks suffered heavy losses, wouldn't it be a loophole in the Governor's plan?
"We have to give the Qing people some sweetness. We can't let them think that Dujigensk can't be conquered. We can't let them think that they will get nothing in return after paying many casualties. Otherwise, they will change their targets and sneak into other places under our noses.
Place." Nikita's words suddenly made Vasily realize: "My lord, it doesn't matter whether Leonid can win or not. What matters is whether the Qing people will continue to stay in Dujigensk?"
Nikita glanced at Vasily and nodded: "Yes, I don't want them to go elsewhere. Based on the current intelligence, the clearing team outside the city is only a small part, and their main force is still elsewhere. Maybe
It's in Udysk, or Tugursk, or maybe even in Yask. Master Goro is coming soon, and time does not allow us to conduct an expedition, so we must wipe out the Qing people in one fell swoop in Dujigensk to avoid future troubles.
!" After saying that, he looked down at the city with some hatred: "The lowly Cossacks should be taught a lesson. Let Leonid suffer a little. Maybe it is not necessarily a bad thing for him." He was a little worried.
He told Vasily: "Gather your men. If the Cossacks are in trouble, go and support them. You can't really let Leonid suffer a big loss. After all, his Cossacks are the only cavalry we have."
"
"Yes, sir."
Vasily responded without hesitation and went to the city to gather the musketeers.
