Dudanov suddenly remembered something.

"Colonel, Shenkov has sent two groups of troops to ask for help from us. You see..."

"What do you mean?"

"The Circassians are the only tribe in the North Caucasus that is completely loyal to the empire, and they are relatives of the emperor, so they should hurry over and provide support."

"Wrong! The royal family you are talking about is Kuban Circassian, not Stavropol Circassian. If the Circassian here is eye-catching, he should have taken the initiative to find us and let Stavropol

Bol became a city under the imperial administrative system, but they did not do so. In fact, His Majesty the Tsar was still a little annoyed."

"You mean..."

"It's better to let them fight to the death with the Adige people. After both sides are defeated, they will no longer have the ability to gain a foothold here. At that time, we will appear again and let them all move to the Kuban area, and let the Kuban Circassians move to

Stavropol..."

Before he finished speaking, Dudanov couldn't help but clapped his hands and sighed: "Wonderful, in this case, the people who occupy Stavropol will still be Circassians, and they will just change from herders to farmers.

, even if the Ottomans and Persians knew about it, there would be nothing they could do about it."

The man listened but did not continue, "However, it would not be in line with the empire's strategy if all the Circassians here were killed in battle. In this case, you first lead a thousand Cossack cavalry and rush over there overnight. Remember, don't be too cautious."

Get too close and wait until both sides have decided the winner before taking action."

"If the Circassians win, you can take advantage of the situation. Our Kuban region also needs a large number of serfs. The Adyges and Kalbachinians are all good candidates for farmers."

"If the Adiges win, you will wait until the Circassians are almost exhausted before taking action."

"If the Circassians have been defeated, you can patrol the perimeter and wait for my arrival."

"Yes", Dudanov curled his lips inwardly, rather disapprovingly, "Since we are going to save the Circassians, why not go together?"

After Dudanov left, the man came down from the height.

After walking out of the ruins, he came to the west, looked at the dark forest, and murmured to himself: "Idiot Dudanov, since the Armenians who came are most likely to be disguised as Truchen people, how could it be that

Didn’t they pay attention to the news about Stavropol?”

"If Kitard is really as wise as the rumors say, he will definitely send people to keep an eye on Kuban. This time I brought 3,000 people. It is impossible to hide such a big movement from him. I would like to see, in this kind of situation

Under such circumstances, what will happen to Kitard?"

Suddenly, he seemed to be interested in the woods.

"What would I do if I were Kitard?"

"Now that he has received the news of the dispatch of the Kuban Army, he would not dare to take the initiative to provoke him, but it is impossible for him to just sit back and watch. By the way, if he rushes to stabilize Pytigorska before our army arrives,

situation, then even if I arrive, it will be too late."

"No, I'll rush to Patigoska with Dudanov overnight!"

If they want to reach Patigoska overnight, they must first go south. There is also a large forest there. In the middle of the forest, a road has been opened by the Circassians. Along this road, you can reach Nevin directly.

No, then it will be easy to go to Patigoska.

Dudanov was naturally very happy to learn that the man decided to go to Pytigorska with him - the situation of the battle there was unknown. Although he had a thousand cavalry, he was not very safe after all, but if he had three thousand men and horses,

, enough to neutralize all forces.

These three thousand people are regular Kuban troops.

Three thousand people, two thousand cavalry, and one thousand infantry, meandering on the road from Stavropol to Pytigorska, will soon reach the road in the dense forest.

In the dense forest.

While stroking a tall oak tree, one person's body was trembling slightly.

When the bright moon broke away from the dark clouds and sprinkled its whiteness on the earth again, a dim light through the gap just fell on his face.

Kitard!

Just as the man guessed, Kitard also came here!

For Stavropol, he has been salivating since he came to this world. Unfortunately, this is the territory of the Circassians, and behind the Circassians are the Russians. Even if this is

In the neutral zone, no matter how courageous he was, he would not dare to attack them.

As for the battle between the Circassians and the Adiges, he believed that Shen Muhua's thousand cavalry would be enough to deal with it. He also secretly asked Techina to lead a thousand cavalry to patrol outside Pytigorska, just to prevent it.

Just in case.

But the news of the Kuban Army's dispatch still moved him.

He would still hold back the Kuban Army alone, but when the current commander of the Kuban Army, Colonel Suvorov, personally led the team, he couldn't help but make a desperate move.

Suvorov was thin since he was a child. His parents asked him to join the Moscow Guards at the age of fourteen, not so that he could honor his ancestors, but so that he could become physically stronger after being trained in the military camp.
p>

However, a genius is a genius. Like Rumyantsev, he joined the army at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but he showed extremely high military talent in a short period of time.

Suvorov was the same age as Kitard. At the age of nineteen, he became the supreme commander of the Kuban Army (Brigade) and also served as the Supreme Administrator (Governor) of the Kuban Region.

Kitard will naturally seize such an opportunity.

For him, no matter how hard he tried, even if he could get steam engines and armored battleships ahead of time, he would still not be able to match the overwhelming number of Russians. Therefore, his only chance was to gamble.

Unfortunately, the current Empress Elizabeth and the soon-to-be-successor Empress Catherine are no less important in Russian history than Peter the Great.

Peter the Great only laid the foundation for Tsarist Russia to become a European power, and it was Elizabeth who stabilized this foundation, and it was Ekaterina who carried it forward and out of control.

In the era of Elizabeth and Catherine, Rumyantsev, Suvorov, and Kutuzov complement each other and become the most outstanding generals.

It is almost impossible to get rid of Elizabeth and Ekaterina, but for Rumyantsev and Suvorov, who are still in their teenage years like him, he still has a chance.

God has given him a chance and brought Rumyantsev in front of him. Now it is Suvorov. Although he faces huge risks, this is his only chance.

He must grasp it!

Otherwise, it is better to take the tribe to the Western Regions as soon as possible and play a regular game with the Qing Dynasty of "pass through the Qing Dynasty without rebelling, and use a chrysanthemum to set an electric drill".

What's more, according to the Russian military system, legion commanders and governors will be changed every three to five years. For Kitard, who is located in the North Caucasus and cannot move near the Caspian Sea, he does not have many opportunities.<

/p>

Furthermore, both Rumyantsev and Suvorov are young men. Although they are very outstanding, they have not reached the level of "pillars of the empire" in the eyes of the Russians. Generals like them, in St. Petersburg,

There are still more in the Guards Corps near Moscow.

Suvorov must be killed!

So, this time, he rarely brought all 8,000 people. Excluding the 2,000 people from the direction of Pytigorska, there were still 6,000 people here!

But Suvorov only brought half a brigade of 3,000 people.

There is nothing wrong with Suvorov doing this. From his historical perspective, it is impossible to think that Kitard is no longer the Sarai he used to be, and it is impossible to think that he would dare to attack him blatantly!

Even so, after learning that Suvorov had led his army south, Kitard's palms were already clammy in the chill of late autumn.

He knew that once Suvorov and half of his brigade were killed here, the Russians would soon understand that it was him, because he was the only one in the North Caucasus who could pose a threat to the Kuban Army.<

/p>

Although it is possible for the Chechens to do it, the Adige people are separated from them after all!

If you offend the Ottomans first and then the Russians, will you still have a place to die?

At this time, the "War of Austrian Succession" that had been raging in Europe for several years had ended. It was impossible to draw the Russians' energy in that direction. The Qing Dynasty was doing its best to deal with the Dzungars, and the Russians' southeastern border was completely intact.

.

As for the Kazakh Zhongyuzi, they have just recovered from the slavery of the Dzungars, and it is impossible to launch a war against the Russians immediately.

After the death of the Persian emperor Nader Shah, the empire was falling apart in order to compete for the throne, and it was impossible to threaten Russia.

Since the death of the previous king, the Kingdom of Sweden has not only lost the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, but also Finland. Its status in Europe has plummeted, and it has long lost its courage.

The only thing that could threaten them was the Ottomans, but the Ottomans' biggest support near the Black Sea was the Crimean Khanate. Ten years ago, after the Russian army swept across Crimea and destroyed its capital, the Khanate

The country has long been severely weakened.

It will take some time for the Ottomans to regain their previous strength. What's more, they are the West Georgian Pasha who killed the Ottomans. How could they join forces with them to deal with the Russians?

Even if he is willing to send someone to contact the Ottoman Sultan, for a small force like him, the chance that the Sultan will reveal the news to the Russians in advance and use a borrowed knife to kill him is much greater than the chance of being willing to form an alliance with him.

So, I could only draw my sword and look around at a loss.

Suvorov's army completely entered the forest road, and Kitard, who occupied a high ground, raised a minigun with a primitive sight in his hand.

Although almost all the Russian soldiers were dressed in the same way, in the scope, he still found Suvorov, who was less than 1.6 meters tall and thin!

After taking aim for a long time, he sighed inwardly and put the gun down.

"Even if the Russians have lost Rumyantsev and Suvorov, the spirit laid down by Peter the Great is still spread in the army. Maybe new Rumyantsev and Suvorov will appear soon. This is

Determined by population base”

"They have a population of 30 million, and it will be easy to produce one or two more famous generals, not to mention the age of Elizabeth and Catherine, who were equally great."
