Now, someone is coming to beat them, isn't it a good thing?
After the previous village chief heard about this incident, he quickly gathered more than a dozen militiamen in the village.
"Everyone, tell me what we should do!"
He asked.
A group of people started chattering.
"Village chief, you must not help the Cossacks!"
"Yes! My mother-in-law told me to join the Black Knights as a soldier! They are the good people!"
"Yes! Last time we were short of food, they left us a lot of food..."
"That's really Qiu Wuwu's fault!"
"I heard they went to neighboring villages and it was the same!"
Almost everyone has this position.
The village chief listened and nodded.
He took a sip of strong wine and took a deep breath: "No matter what others say, our Arnold Village remains neutral!"
"Yes, at least stay neutral!"
"That's it! Hahahaha, we can also secretly help the Black Knight!"
"That's right!"
...
Ruslan, after receiving the declaration of war, also became a little anxious.
So fast?
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and with his troops and horses, he galloped towards Dukuba.
On the way, Ruslan was not very sure about this war.
Tsarist Russia still did not send reinforcements, and even the few cannons he requested were not met.
Ruslan has even begun to consider abandoning the village of Dukuba.
However...no.
The Tsarist Russians were famous for their attachment to land.
Two hundred years ago.
Once this hole is opened, these Chukchi people will definitely not be able to stop it!
so.
Must stick to it!
"Is there no problem with the follow-up food and grass?"
"Reinforcements, keep asking for reinforcements!"
"Tell the emperor that if reinforcements don't come...Siberia will really be out of our control!"
"It's in danger, it's in danger, you know? The wording must be pessimistic!"
"pessimistic!"
This time, Ruslan brought many more Cossack cavalry.
This made the small village of Dukuba immediately filled with four thousand Cossack cavalry!
four thousand!
This is almost the entire Cossack cavalry in Siberia!
Ruslan also knew that this should be a big battle, a decisive battle! Therefore, he could not lose! He would rather go out in force and let the dreams of these Chukchi people be shattered.
Let them know that the Cossack cavalry is invincible!
This time.
Zhai Shiqing and Na Risong also planned to send five thousand black knights.
Because this will be a siege.
In siege warfare and fortified warfare, to be honest, the advantages of special forces are not particularly obvious.
On the contrary, the Cossacks will have more advantages.
They can use the fortifications to counterattack, and at the right time, they can strengthen the wall and clear the field to start a charge battle with this side.
This is why the Chukchi people already have an army of nearly 20,000 people.
But there is still a reason for being so cautious about this war.
Zhai Shiqing even believed that this war would be a 50-50 split.
