Chapter 62: The Twelve Great Era: Truchen Wolf (Part 1)
"Feed to us. If I defect to me, I can define a big place for you and regain the glory of the past"
"Haha, do you want to catch us all?"
"It's right that you think so. If I guess it's right, your nest should be in Mount Elbool. You know that to the north of the mountain is the Dowathan area, which is currently divided into three forces. I now understand why the Sari sect, which was supported by us, became like this in a short period of time?"
"Recalling now, the leaders of this sect were assassinated several times, which eventually led to division. Most of the time, you were doing it."
"I don't care about the Tubasidan area. You can choose your own leader and I will support you. I believe that you will firmly occupy it and regain the glory of your former Assassin Empire"
Speaking of this, Qitad approached him.
"I am the king and all the herdsmen of the entire Eurasian prairie, Bogdatengis Sainhan will not make a decision casually, it is definitely a matter of words"
A ray of light flashed in Mansour's eyes, which ordinary people would never catch, but was caught by Qitad.
"Forget it, if you still want to hide, you will have to do it. But your next action will not be so easy. If there is such an action, I will send troops to capture Dobastan, and then use mountain soldiers to clear Mount Elbours and completely wipe out you out"
"By the way, I might as well tell you that your actions were also hated by the Great Aga, who is now in power in the Persian Empire. At that time, the Persians will clear them from south to north, and our country will clear them from north to south. Where can you escape?"
....
Mansour finally decided to take the Truchens to Mount Elbool to discuss the matter with their leaders.
Of course, whether the Assassin's nest is really in Mount Elbool and whether Mansour lied, Chitard was not sure, but the flash of light that flashed through his eyes confirmed at least a little.
He is still very interested in his suggestion.
Moreover, if he is released now, he will not be able to get out. Only when he reaches a foreign land that is not under the jurisdiction of the Truqin Kingdom can he have the opportunity to escape calmly. At that time, the camel hunter from the Intelligence Bureau will come in handy.
Omubu and his special operations team escorted Mansour back to Dobastan, but Claude and Rukani naturally had to stay in Truchen.
Things have come to an end for the time being, but the war between Truchen and the Russians continues.
....
Back to Vinnica.
In spring, flowers bloomed, and the Nanbuge River was completely thawed. Not only did it thaw, but it also thawed. Naturally, it was caused by the snow on both sides of the shore and the ice melted.
At this time, the population of Western Ukraine was far less than that of later generations, and the intensity of river diversion and irrigation was not as high as that of later generations. Later generations could only be navigated from below Woznezsynsk, but now, the number of Pavomask County under the jurisdiction of Truchenkafbas Province can be navigated from below.
Pavomesk is the buffer zone where Cossack Torgov was in the past.
In the past two months, Suvorov and Laodong coalition forces have obviously not used human-sea tactics like Peter III to launch a fierce attack on the Techina army under the eastern bank of the Nanbug River and the city of Vinnica, so the losses of both sides are not great.
But for Techina, since Vinnica was far from Pyvomesk, he could not get good supplies. Although food could be obtained from Vinnica, ammunition would not work.
So, twenty days after the war broke out, his ammunition was a little tight. After discussing with the city lord of Vinnica, Röwsky, he decided to retreat to Pavomask as a whole. Now the Nanbug River has thawed, and his supply ships can be replenished through the waterway.
However, in that case, if the coalition forces chased after him, the war might burn into Truchen's territory.
But Tie Chi did this anyway.
One night, the guerrilla warriors and the winged cavalry and the Registered Cossacks, who were conducting guerrilla wars on the periphery, suddenly launched an attack on the Russian-Austrian coalition forces, and the artillery of the Techina army was bombarding them continuously.
The battle lasted all night.
When it was dawn, the sound of cannons finally stopped.
It was not until the evening of that day that Suvorov discovered something was wrong.
He asked the hunters to approach the Truqin Army's position to observe, and finally brought him a piece of news that made him laugh and cry.
"General, the Techina Legion has withdrawn. In addition, the two brigades of cavalry that were cruising outside our army probably crossed the Nanbuge River and entered the city of Vinnica in the night!"
Suvorov quickly sent hunting cavalry to search along the upstream and downstream of the Nanbug River, and finally confirmed that the Techina Legion had retreated to the local Pavomask!
"What are they doing? Do they just give up Vinnica to us like this?"
He immediately consulted Lao Dong.
Laudon said: "His Majesty Frederick's coalition has arrived in Vinnica. Perhaps Techina felt threatened. Please withdraw quickly before they arrive."
Suvorov shook his head, "Although the battle here lasted for nearly two months, when both sides did not invest much troops and the losses were not large, we must be bigger, but in total, it was only one brigade, and Truchen's firepower was not fully utilized"
"They can also get a steady supply of food and grass from Vinnica. How could they easily evacuate? And they will retreat to Pavomask as soon as they evacuate?"
At this time, a staff officer familiar with Western Ukraine said: "General, it is mostly because of the Nanbug River. From Pavomask, large flat-bottomed merchant ships can reach there, and Tech can obtain ammunition supplies from its Nikolayev city."
Suvorov nodded, "It's probably true, but what should we do now? Attack the city of Vinnica? They have a brigade of troops that have entered the city. With Kazimirinasi's cavalry, at least two elite brigades are stationed in the city, which is not easy to conquer."
Laudong smiled and said, "Your Majesty of our country has brought me a new order, saying that when His Majesty Frederick arrives, our army will obey his unified command. Why not listen to his meaning?"
Two days later, Frederick arrived at the city of Vinnica with his army.
Frederick is fifty-nine years old this year. Although he was seriously injured in several wars, it seems that the impact on him is not great. He is still energetic and riding on a tall white horse. This time he came to Ukraine, he brought an army, plus the British and Danes each with a reinforced brigade, with a total of 30,000 people.
This time he led an army, and each of the three divisions had its own commanders. Among them, the commander of the First Division was his closest old friend Feng Ziten, but this time he met Suvorov and Laodong, he only brought one young man.
William, his nephew, Frederick has no children, seems to be trying to focus on cultivating his nephew and allowing him to inherit the throne.
However, his nephew didn't seem interested in war, and he didn't feel honor or joy when he was with Frederick.
After listening to Suvorov's report, Frederick said: "The brigade of Kazimiz did not enter the city of Vinnica. He had arrived at the east bank of the Southbug River, and there was more than one brigade under him."
"After our army entered Ukraine, we encountered more and more winged cavalry, and the number of registered Cossack guerrillas was increasing. In the end, we captured an officer and learned about one thing."
"Oh?"
"Since your army crossed the Dnepr River and entered the Principality of Ukraine, although Zavusky gave up Kiev, he has mobilized all the booked Cossacks in his territory and promised that all the Cossacks may obtain an additional ten acres of land after this battle."
"If I guess correctly, they had at least one hundred Cossacks in the company, with a total of more than 10,000 people. Each company was led by about ten winged cavalrymen. Relying on the forest, the manor harassed us from time to time. When we gathered more than one regiment to launch a strike against them, they scattered in a hurry"
"There has always been a battalion by Kazimiri, who is the leader of these winged cavalry and Cossacks"
Laodong said: "So, there is only one brigade of Truchen in Vinnica?"
Frederick nodded, "No more about this, what I want to know is why the Legion of the Techina suddenly withdrew?"
Suvorov said: "I think there are two reasons. The first is that they are far away from local combat and ammunition is not easy to replenish. After retreating to the local Pavomask, they can replenish supplies nearby."
"The second reason is naturally to know that Your Majesty's army has arrived. If Your Majesty stations the army east of Vinnica at this time, it will be completely surrounded. If you don't leave, you may be wiped out."
Frederick shook his head, "From my understanding of the Truchens, since they have come to Vinnica far away from their homeland, they are obviously ready for a long-term battle. Moreover, Vinnica is not far from Pyvomesk, and there are rivers to rely on. Although large ships cannot be passed through, small boats are still OK."
"The Truchens have used steam engines on large ships, so they can naturally use them on small ships"
"Then..."
Frederick shook his head again, "Their Mongolian king often acts unexpectedly. Who knows what he is thinking in his stomach? Forget it, no matter so much, what I want to ask is, is my previous agreement with the kings of your two countries still valid?"
It turns out that this is the reason why Frederick, despite his age and the grace that Truchen had saved him before, still led his army to the Ukrainian battlefield in the Russian War.
Before, he had reached a secret agreement with Peter III and Austrian Emperor Joseph II to divide the land of Poland. According to the preliminary agreement, the Kingdom of Prussia will obtain land west of the Vistula River after the war, and Russia will obtain land east of the Polotsk.
The Austrians obtained Ukrainian land.
If we want to achieve this in the end, we must completely defeat the Truqin army still on the Ukrainian land. Originally, Frederick was waiting for news about Suvorov and Laudon in Lviv. Unexpectedly, after nearly two months, the war still made no progress. At this time, he could no longer sit still, so he quickly went south.
According to his idea, if three armies deal with one armies, there should be no reason for their failure. In order to get the land in the agreement as soon as possible and create war experience for his heirs, he dragged his aging body south.
