Boris naturally knew that he had been tricked by Vishniak again, but he was not angry. He was a very simple person. As long as he could fight, kill enemies and make meritorious deeds, so what if he was teased a little?
Compared with the fragrant achievements and the real title, this is nothing. If he can be promoted by being fooled, then he doesn't mind being fooled every day.
"Okay, let me remind you that the mission is to attack the Turkish transportation lines. Don't do it near Tarnovo for the time being. Stay away!"
Boris frowned and asked: "Why, we are more familiar with this area..."
"I know," Vishniak interrupted him, "but this area is also our basic base. We can't expose it too early. Find a few guides and go to Old Zagora, which is more suitable!"
Boris nodded obediently and suddenly asked: "This trip is to destroy completely, or to rob..."
Vishnyak thought for a while and replied: "Safety comes first, you have to decide. If allowed, you can get some money or weapons and ammunition. If the Turks react quickly, then burn it to the ground!"
Boris immediately started making preparations without hesitation. That night, he took more than 500 Russian troops disguised as Turkish traders and headed south.
Stara Zagora is located south of Tarnovo and is an important hub leading from the Istanbul area and the port of Burgas to the Danube River.
Of course, Boris is not stupid. He did not directly enter Old Zagora or cause trouble near the city. That would be too stupid and too reckless. Even if the main force of the Turks is gathered behind the Danube River, it will be empty, but no matter how empty it is
Even in a big city, just five hundred people can tease a tiger's beard.
"Our target is the enemy's baggage troops, preferably those transporting food and arms, and those without large convoys, and the scale cannot be particularly large. We must attack quickly and withdraw quickly! If the enemy is well-defended, we would rather let it go than be reckless.
We must win the battle and never return without success!"
After Boris explained the goal and combat strategy clearly, he explained: "This time, the second and third companies are responsible for the main attack, and the first company is responsible for reconnaissance and support. The first company must pay special attention to the reaction of the enemy posts in the city and surrounding areas. Once they react,
You must notify me immediately and find ways to delay it!"
Boris was afraid that he would have objections, so he specifically explained: "This task is very important, so you must be responsible for it! Don't be careless!"
After setting up the mission, Boris led the men and horses directly into the lurking position without any nonsense. To be honest, it was almost impossible to lurk in the flat terrain. The only thing he could do was to try to choose a sparsely populated location. Of course, he also
We will communicate with the Bulgarian guides in advance and let them do the work for the local compatriots.
"Mr. Razette, thank you for your help. If you hadn't convinced the people in the village, our actions would have been more difficult."
Razet was the guide Vishnyak found for him. He came from a large family in Tarnovo, was very powerful in the local area, and had always been pro-Russian and anti-Turkish. What’s more, if Vishnyak’s promise comes true,
If there is a harvest, they will get 20% of the profit, so it is impossible not to agree to such a deal.
"This is what I should do," Razet replied with a smile. "This area is relatively familiar. The local Bulgarian brothers hate the Turks very much. I heard that you are going to teach those bastards a lesson, which is what I wish for!"
Boris didn't believe such nonsense. He knew very well that if he hadn't promised to give a hundred rifles to the local squire regardless of whether the matter was successful or not, these Bulgarian rich people might not have helped.
Valley
What's more, this job is not difficult at all. As long as you pretend not to see anything, you can pick up weapons for free. This kind of good thing is almost like pie in the sky.
Boris sent Lazet away and snorted to his adjutant: "Go ahead and seize a hundred rifles as much as possible. We can't do business at a loss, can we?"
After all, Boris is quite stingy, and his senses are not very good for the Bulgarians who are always playing tricks. He complained in front of Vishniak several times that these grandsons were not authentic.
Anyway, he was always on guard against being taken advantage of by the Bulgarians, and he always cared about it no matter what he did.
Boris was staring at the sky with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and asked his adjutant impatiently: "Isn't it here yet?"
"Not yet, but Yilian said that he has seen the enemy's vanguard..."
Boris spit out the dogtail grass, took out his pocket watch and glanced at it: "His grandma is a full forty minutes late, and these grandsons are too slow!"
No wonder Boris is unhappy. According to Razet's intelligence, this time the Turkish transport team will escort dozens of trucks of flour to Gabrovo. If this batch of grain can be robbed, it will definitely be sold at a good price!
Boris has his own account in mind. Since entering Bulgaria, his brothers have actually been spending money, just putting money in. He doesn't like to only get out but not get in, so he holds his breath and wants to do it.
Big ticket.
Food is extremely valuable now. If they grab this ticket, even if they can't sell it for money, this much flour will be enough for their brothers to consume for a while.
"Let each company continue to ambush, and do not act rashly without my order!"
Boris is determined to wait patiently. Although he has always been impatient, it has to be said that it is not easy enough.
After waiting for another half an hour, the outpost of the Turkish grain transport team slowly entered the ambush circle. When Boris looked through the binoculars, his nose almost turned out of breath, because each of these grandsons seemed to be out on an outing, laughing and joking along the way.
There was no vigilance at all, and even the gun was slung across his back.
"It's really leisurely and comfortable!" Boris snorted: "That's good, it saves us a lot of effort. Notify me, and the convoy behind will take action immediately after entering the ambush circle. I will deal with these bastards severely and let them know
What are the consequences of keeping us waiting?"
After issuing the order, Boris basically knew that this trip should be a sure thing, because the Turks were completely unprepared. In their lazy state, not to mention the elite group of wolves and tigers under him, they were Razet.
Those Bulgarian rookies can give them a drink!
Sure enough, with Boris's order, when his soldiers rushed through the woods and bushes, Turkey collapsed without a fight, either dropped its weapons and ran faster than a rabbit, or simply raised its hands and surrendered.
It only took fifteen minutes from launching the attack to cleaning up the battlefield. These guys were really vulnerable!
"Hurry! These are all good things. Count them immediately and take them away. Don't leave any behind!"
