The Rakshasa reinforcements discovered by the Malone Second Cavalry Regiment were none other than the reinforcements led by Vlasov, the governor of Nerchinsk. [] In order to deal with this Qing Dynasty who had rushed into the rear to harass before the arrival of the Tsar's special envoy, Minister Golo.
Vlasov used all the troops he could mobilize to defeat the enemy in Dujigensk. The troops he personally led on this trip were brought to Dujigensk by Nikita and Leonid.
The total strength of the army includes 560 musketeers, 1,100 Buryat Mongols, and more than 400 civilians of various ethnic groups accompanying the army. In terms of military strength and combat effectiveness, Vlasov believed that he had the overall strength.
He led the empire's most powerful army in the entire east.
Previously, Vlasov had received an urgent report from Nikita. He knew that the Qing troops had failed to attack the city, but there were signs of withdrawal and they were now camped outside the city, seemingly waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. After receiving the news, Vlasov
He was overjoyed and strengthened his intention and confidence to annihilate this clearing force in Dujigensk. In addition, Vasily's successful defense of Dujigensk also convinced Vlasov that he had lost contact with Udysk, Yask and other strongholds.
He will be safe and sound. As long as he can attract the main force of the clearing team in Dujigensk, the crisis in other strongholds will naturally be eliminated, his own crisis will also be eliminated, and the battle report sent to Moscow will also add another highlight.
As the largest support force, Vlasov had full confidence in his guards and was also satisfied with the loyalty of the Buryat Mongols. The only thing that displeased him was Tolbuzin of Yaksa. This damn bandit actually
He refused to send troops to assist Dujigensk, and even wrote to the defenders of two other strongholds in You, asking them not to send troops to Dujigensk. All this made Vlasov so angry that he wanted to turn around and rush in.
Yaksa, hanged Tolbuzin and his gang of bandits. However, Yaksa's solid city defense measures and the envoy's increasingly advancing pace had to make him give up this idea. He must first deal with the ubiquitous army.
Clear the army, otherwise his official position will be in jeopardy. Wait until the Qing people are eliminated, and then let the bastard Tolbuzin know how powerful I am, Vlasov reminded himself.
Vlasov, who was eager to relieve his worries, wished that his troops could fly to Dujigensk. Especially after learning that the Qing team had been severely damaged, he became anxious, so he ordered the musketeers and the Mongols to rush to Dujigensk day and night.
Si Ke, apart from eating and necessary rest time, he does not allow any waste of time. From receiving the order to gathering and now, the men and horses led by Vlasov have been marching for fourteen days. It is not fair to say that the men and horses are exhausted.
It's not an exaggeration, but in the eyes of the Governor, these don't seem to matter at all, as if there is a sure-win war waiting for them ahead, and as long as people arrive, victory will be achieved.
After encountering the outpost of the Malone 2nd Cavalry Regiment, Vlasov did not realize that there was an army with a large cavalry waiting for him ahead. He thought that what he encountered was just a scout cavalry sent by the Qing team, and there was nothing good about it.
No worries, the top priority is to enter the city as soon as possible, and then unified command of all units to encircle and suppress the Qing troops. As for these scattered cavalry like flies, there is no need to tangle with them.
Under Vlasov's supervision, the Buryat Mongolian soldiers and the Russian artillery team advanced towards Dujgensk at high speed. They had no idea that a death trap was waiting for them in the jungle ahead.
In the early morning of September 27, the two sides had their first combat contact twenty miles northwest of Dujigensk. The battle process was very simple. After receiving the order, Ma Long sent a team of cavalry while it was still dark.
At that time, a tentative attack was made against the Rakshasa reinforcements. After a brief confrontation, the team quickly retreated. Later, when the Russian army advanced another three miles, another team conducted another small-scale attack.
, similarly, after less than a moment of fighting, they also retreated in a defeated manner.
Being attacked by the opponent's cavalry twice in a row, Vlasov was convinced that the city of Dujigensk, which was more than ten miles away in front, was obviously being attacked by the Qing troops, and that the few cavalry attacking his side were just sent by the opponent's commander to delay his side.
Marching speed, their purpose was to gain more time for the siege.
Perhaps the main force of the Qing team has arrived. Emperor, my goal will finally be achieved! After feeling that the other party was delaying his intentions, Vlasov was a little excited. Nikita's intelligence told him that the Qing team had been hit hard and reinforcements were coming.
Before they arrived, it was impossible for them to attack Dujigensk again. However, the Qing cavalry in front of them was trying in vain to intercept themselves, which meant that the main force of the Qing team had arrived at Dujigensk and was attacking the city, otherwise they would not have been able to do so.
To engage in such a stupid and meaningless battle.
"The Qing people have no power to stop us, and we must not be fooled by them!"
Vlasov made a prompt decision and ordered his guard captain Petrusha to speed up the march. At the same time, he asked Zagev, the leader of the Buryat Mongolian soldiers, to advance quickly. Ignore the harassment of the Qing team and make sure to do it before the sun hangs above your head.
Rush to Dujigensk. If they find that the Qing people are attacking the city after they arrive, they must immediately go into battle and inflict heavy losses on the Qing people.
Under Vlasov's order, the forcibly conscripted Buryat Mongols began to reluctantly distance themselves from the Russian musketeers, and quickly drove towards Dujigensk. After passing through a dense forest, they crossed a
After the river, they were suddenly ambushed in a low-lying area.
The Second Infantry Regiment, which had been waiting at the ambush point for more than two hours, immediately treated the Mongols with bows and arrows after they arrived. In order to wash away the shame of defeat, the Second Infantry Regiment arrived at the U.S. Army.
Captain Zuo Mingnan, down to the auxiliary soldiers, everyone worked bravely. They took advantage of the terrain to kill a large number of Mongolians. However, the Buryats were exhausted physically and mentally from marching for days. Under the sudden blow, they quickly appeared
They were defeated, or their fighting will was very poor. The people behind them even began to consider escaping just after hearing the shouts of killing coming from all directions.
"Order, all cavalry to attack!"
Zhao Qiang, who was watching the battle from a high place, saw that the surrounded Mongols were in panic, and when their morale and combat effectiveness were low, he decisively ordered the waiting First and Second Cavalry Regiments to go into battle and strive for total annihilation.
This Mongolian puppet army of the Russians.
The Buryat Mongols who were pulled here from the grassland were actually at the opposite ends of the spectrum. They did not really want to work for the Russians. When they saw that there were countless enemies scattered around, the leader Zagev was protected by his entourage.
Without saying a word, he ran away on the road. His running made some Buryat people who were still resisting give up their resistance. Soon, all the Buryat people began to flee for their lives. However, the force was several times better than theirs.
In front of Guan Ning's army, escaping obviously accelerated their death.
