Leonid didn't know what Nikita, Vasily and others were talking about at the top of the city. He only knew that he was about to make great achievements. When he returned from victory, Nikita and the Russians would be so jealous that they fell asleep.
I can't sleep. [] Maybe when the Governor arrives, he will ask His Majesty the Tsar for a medal for me, Leonid thought. He is already thinking about what piles of Qing heads will bring to him.
No matter how much wealth or medals he brought, he did not think about the resistance measures that the Qing people might take, because in his view, these Qing teams composed of indigenous people were really opponents that were not worthy of attention. Their ability to come to Dujigensk was simply an imperial attack.
A joke. What’s even funnier is that this joke-like fact actually happened, and the Russians huddled in the city as if facing a powerful enemy, which simply disgraced the Russian Empire. I really didn’t know what the Russians had done in the East before.
How did the enemy achieve their results? Are these Qing people really more powerful than the Mongols?
Leonid and his Cossack cavalry have been entrenched in Trim, which is less than two hundred miles away from Nerchinsk, but there are more than a dozen Mongolian tribes living there. These tribes have
Some were "good" towards Russia, while others were full of hostility. During his eight-year career in the East, Leonid's task was to clear out those Mongolian tribes that were not good to the empire for the Tsar, rob their pastures, and kill them.
They killed their men, robbed their cattle and sheep, and raped their women. In battle after battle, the Mongols were like sheep who could not withstand the intimidation and attacks of wolves. Before being ordered to reinforce Dujigensk, Leonid
He has successfully conquered six Mongolian tribes. For this reason, he is regarded as a hero by the Governor of Nerchinsk, a hero who is worthy of five hundred musketeers. Now, he, the hero of the East, must once again make the Russians realize
, as long as he exists, any enemy will disappear. As long as he is there, all troubles will no longer be troubles. Of course, the premise is that the Russians have to pay enough remuneration, and those medals awarded by the Tsar himself cannot
Few. In short, he must have what the Russians have, and he must have what the Russians don't have. As for the Qing troops composed of indigenous people, he has never taken them seriously.
"Sver, your people are in front!"
Leonid summoned his most capable subordinate, who was also his cousin Sver, and ordered him: "Kill those Mongols and then rush directly into their infantry defense line. Do you understand?"
Ever since he received the order to leave the city, Sver had been doubtful and didn't understand what his cousin was going to do. After hearing what his cousin said, he froze for a moment and lost his voice: "Brother, are we really going to attack these Qing people?"
?”
Leonid was very dissatisfied with Sver's words. He seemed to be afraid of the Qing people, and there was a sense of fear. He cursed angrily: "Bullshit! If you don't attack, I will pull you out of the city to do it."
What?"
"But brother... I... am from the Qing Dynasty..."
Sver stammered about what he wanted to say but couldn't. Seeing him like this, Leonid was even more furious. What happened to Sver who was usually rushing to get it today? Didn't he realize that the Qing head opposite him was
A pile of gold? This is not his temperament. The impression of Sver now is that he is beating his chest, waving his saber and eager to try, instead of being hesitant as if he is afraid of something.
The tribesmen were ready. Leonid didn't want to waste too much time with Sver, so he scolded Sver dissatisfiedly: "Why are you hesitating? If you have anything to say, say it quickly. We are about to attack. Don't delay the tribesmen."
Merit!"
After hearing what his cousin said, Sver's face felt bitter. Sver had been afraid of this cousin since he was a child, and he is even more afraid now, because he is not only his cousin, but also the leader of his tribe. In his hometown,
, he means what he says, and here, his words are absolute authority. No one can disobey his orders. If he really disobeys, there will only be a consequence bag that will be twisted away like a pumpkin.
Fearing that his cousin would scold him again, Sver stopped tying his mouth and glanced around. Seeing that the tribesmen were waiting for the attack order and not paying attention, he said softly: "Brother, the Qing cavalry are Mongolians. Although they
There are not many people, but they don’t seem to be afraid of us. Instead, when they see us, they feel like they have met enemies. They want to fight us desperately. Before you came, I fought with them. These people are very difficult to deal with, and Buryatia, Kazakhstan
The Mongols in Erqa are much stronger than them, so if I have to attack them, I still have to be more careful. If they want to fight to the death, we can't get any advantage." Sver originally wanted to persuade his cousin.
Don't attack these Qing people. Their mission is just to help the Russians defend Dujigensk. Now that Dujigensk is safe and sound, the task has been completed and they can explain it to the Russians. Why bother to fight the Qing people desperately?
Well, it is entirely possible to let the Russians deal with them. There is no need to risk the lives of the people to attack the Qing people who may be tough. But when the words came to his mouth, he changed his mind and just asked his cousin to be careful.
He dared to mention not attacking because he knew that his cousin was a person who never changed his decision. If he had to persuade him to take back his mind, he would probably be scolded even worse.
Sure enough, after listening to Sver's words, Leonid did not think carefully at all, but laughed indifferently: "My dear cousin Sver, you have to understand that the purpose of our coming to the East is to
Wealth, the dazzling gold and silver is now in front of us. If we don't harvest it, why did we come here in the first place? Don't worry, these Qing people are just indigenous people. Even if those Mongolians are really hard-core, they are not
There aren't many people, so let's put in more effort to deal with them first, and then kill all the natives after they are dealt with. Sver, we must attack and win, you know? I think you are also happy to go to the Tsar's Grant
A medal for me?”
"Okay, since brother has decided, then I have no choice but to obey."
Seeing that Leonid had made up his mind, and that Sver really hoped that his cousin could get a medal bestowed by His Majesty the Tsar, he no longer hesitated and decided to work hard to help his cousin get this medal. After returning to the horse, Sire
Weir checked the saddle of the war horse and tightened it again due to worry. Then he reined in the horse, pulled out his saber, glanced at the sun above his head and turned to his cousin.
Leonid smiled at Sver, the laughter was full of encouragement, and then slowly drew out his saber. Seeing him like this, the six hundred Cossacks who had already prepared drew out their sabers and stood up facing the sun.
"Attack! Kill them all, just like you did before!"
"Ula!" Sver slapped the horse's back, and the horse immediately ran forward. The two hundred Cossacks followed closely behind him and rushed towards the Qing team's defense line three miles away like arrows.
