Kuwandek, the southernmost castle in the Ural Mountains.

Davidov finally decided to return to Orenburg and had already retreated here.

The rebels can slowly encircle and suppress, but the loss of Orenburg means that the empire has lost control over the lower Ural River and the northern end of the Caspian Sea!

He could not afford this responsibility. Although it was not him who guarded Orenburg at the moment, but the senior official Reinstolp, he was the commander of the army and took away all the power of a division at once. He could not say anything about the regular army without leaving even a regiment.

Since Peter III came to power, he immediately carried out a large-scale adaptation of the Russian army in his territory. Of course, it mainly targeted the regular army.

After the change was completed, he was incorporated into the Guards, with three armies in total, one in Latvia, and the other two in southern Russia!

Voronesh and Chalizin are two major fronts.

The remaining troops were organized into local troops, roughly like one province and one division.

Tsarist Russia's troops were strong and its territory was mostly in extremely cold places, and no one came to challenge him. It was enough to configure one division in one province, and with the Cossacks and tribal cavalry, it was completely used to protect the security of the territory.

Although the combat effectiveness of local troops is slightly worse, they are trained according to the teaching materials obtained by Peter III from Prussian officers. There are only a few points:

Pay attention to the front of artillery power;

Pay attention to the use of reserve forces and flanking surround troops;

Focus on reconnaissance troops;

Strict military discipline.

But these points have already made the Prussian Kingdom, which had the weakest national strength, look like a strong country.

The so-called flanking encirclement troops mainly use cavalry with extremely strong mobility, mostly in battalions.

Davidov set out from Orenburg, with heavy snow. Although it was not too much obstacle to the march, he obviously would not carry heavy artillery in order to win the rebels as soon as possible, but there were still many light artillery in the accompanying cavalry.

In fact, when he got the news of the fall of Orenburg, he was almost in Magnitogelsk, so he hesitated there for a few days, and it was these days that cost him time.

According to his discussion with Trubenburg, in the face of the bad situation of Orenburg's fall, inducing surrendered rebels is the best choice. However, the Cossack rebels in Treutsk are good at luring surrenders because they also speak Russian. Their main demand is to allow all Cossacks to obtain enough land and truly enjoy the treatment of civilians.

Once they can be satisfied, they can obviously be divided and divided.

But the Tatars were not like this, even if they surrendered, even if they waited for them.

The Asnalin tribe naturally has Cossacks, but it is a minority after all, so it is impossible for Chumakov and Pugachev to be in harmony like Treutsk.

So, after waiting for a few days, Asnalin and others were still unmoved, Davidov had to return to Orenburg first.

When he came, he was very fast, but when he returned, Davidov became more careful. He obviously understood that since the Truchens dared to take the initiative to attack Orenburg, they must have been prepared for the whole thing, and they may appear anywhere bordering it.

Therefore, he placed the worst brigade in the front. In addition to walking on the road, he naturally had the intention of seducing the enemy. The one in the center was the strongest brigade. He personally took command, and the brigade with a slightly weaker brigade brought logistics and supplies to the rear.

Since they are all masters, each brigade has five thousand people, and each can be arranged in this way. So it seems that it has been dragged into a long snake array on the vast land, but in fact it is arranged in a very strict manner.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the enemy wants to suddenly appear in heavy snow or to hide his whereabouts in the case of large troops.

Davidov's arrangement soon reached Yamankara's ears in Orenburg.

Without any hesitation, he went out.

He only left one brigade in Orenburg City and personally took two brigades out.

He obviously understood that once Davidov's division was annihilated, Orenburg could be said to be steadily put, otherwise it would be a repeated tug-of-war.

Orenburg was taken down by Qitad's strict order. It was a big castle that the Truchens could move in with their bags without any reconstruction.

He is another key node to control the Russian mainland and Siberia. Especially in winter, as long as you take this place, the two parts of the Russians can only cross the Ural Mountains to communicate. The difficulties can be imagined.

Soon, the forward brigade led by Yamankara personally met Davidov's vanguard!

Due to the large number of people on the other side, Yamankara also divided the two brigades into two parts. The brigade he personally led appeared directly on the main road covered with heavy snow, while the other brigade was divided into two, marching on the outer periphery on the north and south sides of its north and south sides.

His brigade was also divided into three, one regiment of Hussars suddenly rushed forward, one regiment was in the center as a reserve team, and behind the regiment with the baggage, because the flank was covered by another brigade, these three regiments could march openly in a long snake formation.

Due to heavy snow, as long as it is not too high, it can actually march everywhere. Davidov has been working near Orenburg for a long time and obviously only chose the previous road to march, after all, it is more safer there.

But the Truqins would not do this. There is a way to play on heavy snowy days, and there is a way to play in spring and summer, and it will never remain unchanged.

After suddenly encountering the enemy, Yamankara immediately let the regiment before him spread out. The first regiment rushed forward with the road as the center, and the other two regiments were on both sides and were in a slightly backward position.

This layout is also very particular.

Since the enemy mainly appears on the road, if the three regiments of their own work in unison, the progress will inevitably be very slow. If the three regiments progress in succession, they will not be able to effectively support the regiment before the sudden outbreak on one road.

The shape of the font can make up for the above shortcomings well.

Everyone in the Hussar Regiment that suddenly picked up the rifle in his hand!

Fighting in a place with a depth of one meter of snow, it is obviously impossible to use a charge formation to destroy the enemy. Even if you can attack along an invisible underground road, you can only destroy a small number of people, and will soon be blocked by horses and corpses everywhere.

Instead of doing this, it is better to spread out on the war horse and move forward slowly, then raise your gun and shoot.

The brigade in front of Davedov was also at the front of the cavalry. Although they were a little panicked when they saw the Truchen soldiers, they also raised the flintlock rifles that had been loaded in their hands.

Then the infantry behind quickly jumped out of the road to form a blocking formation.

This is the Russian army, or the Prussian Russian army. If they are all pulled out to fight Prussia and Austria in a large-scale battle, they will definitely win. Although Catherine is gone, Peter III, the military-loving Tsar, did not pull the army at all.

Instead, it's a little bit stronger!

Good fortune and misfortune, sometimes I really can't explain it clearly.

This was the first time that the Truqin army had encountered such an army, but Yamankara was not panicked.

"Let the brigade on the flank move closer to the main road, pay attention, because there are many enemies, you should not rush all at once. After approaching, you will first use artillery to bombard it, and then move closer in step. In any case, you must leave a reserve team."

Then he raised his rifle too.

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

The horse-riding shooting of both sides began. At the beginning, due to the generation difference, all the Russian cavalry in the sudden outbreak fell down, and the infantry coming out from both sides were unable to effectively arrange artillery positions for the time being.

But the Russian army will not always take into account the safety of its own soldiers. It is common for them to use rear artillery to strike both sides of the war in crisis situations.

This is one of the reasons why the Russian army has always been very strong in combat.

"Boom", the artillery in the opponent's back formation fired, but this time they obviously did not check the distance, and they were mostly fighting randomly in panic, and suddenly hit the open space near their cavalry. This time they were obviously using grenades or delayed fuse grenades.

Some of these grenades exploded in the air, some penetrated into the snow, and became dud after being wet, while others exploded in the snow, stirring up large bulges of snowflakes.

Yamankara stopped and immediately asked the observer behind her to observe and measure.

When they suddenly encountered the enemy, they were in the wilderness, it was obvious that it was impossible to find a high ground near the ground for leisure observation. Therefore, the observers close to the superiors were generally tall and rode tall horses. When they stood up from the horse, they could also use the telescope in their hands to observe.

After a while, an observer reported it.

"Teacher, I observed it and most of the shells were fired from two hundred meters to three hundred meters"

Yamankara nodded.

"The Russian army ignores the lives and deaths of the soldiers. If we continue to suppress them like this, there will definitely be casualties. Although the enemy's grenades are not as powerful as our country, they are grenades after all, and they can kill people."

"But if you stop and wait for the third brigade with artillery to come up, the enemy will probably have set up a formation"

So he issued a new order.

"The first battalion increased its horse speed along the road, attacked the enemy in the front, and let it retreat, causing panic among the enemy behind. The second battalion and the third battalion quickly advanced from the snow on both sides of the road to prevent the enemy from being able to deploy!"

This move quickly achieved results.

As the first battalion suddenly stepped forward, the cavalry on the opposite side hurriedly retreated, naturally brought down the infantry behind them, and then they were either knocked down or jumped into the snow on both sides to avoid.

At this time, the artillery at the end would naturally launch artillery shells, which also caused casualties to the first battalion in the sudden front. However, at the speed of their loading, it would obviously not cause too much casualties. The distance between two or three hundred meters, the enemy cavalry battalion's fierceness and retreat were soon passed to the artillery!

At this time, a large number of infantry troops had already jumped into the snow on both sides, and were naturally attacked by the Second and Third Battalions.

After stepping on the road that the enemy had already set foot on, the first battalion with iron nails installed on the horse's hooves immediately increased!
Chapter completed!
