Chita is a mountain city located east of Lake Baikal at the confluence of the Chita River and the Yingoda River. It is beautiful, with mountains, trees, snow, lakes, and mineral springs. Yes, Malakov
Ga Mineral Spring is said to be able to cure all kinds of diseases, and the locals call it the "Holy Spring".
Ivan, the general manager of Chita, immersed himself naked in the sacred spring and enjoyed the caress of the spring water. He was here to treat illnesses. Recently, the man in the family became more and more dissatisfied with the public food he handed over and cursed him. He had no choice but to
Fusheng stole half a day to take a dip in the sacred spring to maintain his health.
"General Manager, General Golovin and General Manager Milevalov are here." As soon as I got the feeling, my confidants came to report.
Ivan was surprised: "Didn't they fight the Ming army at Kalemskoye Fort? Why did they come back?"
"General Manager", a close confidant reported, "It seems that General Golovin and General Manager Milevalov have suffered a defeat. There is also a piece of news, I don't know whether it is true or not, it is said that the city of Nerchinsk has been lost." p>
"What!"
Ivan was so excited that he jumped up from the spring and quickly dressed, "Quick, go back to the city!"
He was anxious to go back and meet with Golovin and Milevalov, but they were too lazy to pay attention to him and the more than a hundred soldiers under his command who were not very effective.
After hearing the news that Vlasov had withdrawn from Nerchinsk, Golovin and Milevalov took stock together and felt that Kalemskoye Fort could not be defended and could only withdraw to Chita to defend it.
.Although Chita is a small city, it is built on a mountain with a steep terrain. It is backed by Yablonov Mountain and has a big mountain as a barrier, which can block a hundred thousand soldiers.
At this time, there are still 1,600 men left under the two men. Including Ivan's men, the total strength is more than 1,700 people. The strength is enough to guard this small mountain city.
Golovin and Milevalov were both veteran generals who had experienced hundreds of battles and had rich combat experience. After inspecting the terrain of Chita, they immediately divided their troops to garrison key passes on the mountain tops to block the Ming army's advance.
Golovin wrote three letters: a letter of apology to the Tsar, a letter of request for help to the Yeniseisk warlord Bashkov, and a letter of joint troops asking Vlasov to come to Chita to join forces with him. p>
He knew very well that even if Moscow sent reinforcements, they would not be able to count on them for a while. The only ones he could count on were Bashkov and Vlasov.
Putting down his pen, Golovin sighed, "Your Majesty the Tsar, I have tried my best, but now I can only do my best and obey fate."
??
"Hey yo yo ~ Hey yo yo ~ Hey yo yo ~"
The strong Ming soldiers shouted slogans and struggled to drag the black chimneys up the mountain. No, they were not chimneys, but the barrels of cannons.
Golovin chose to fight in mountainous areas, which brought great trouble to the Ming army. Some large-caliber cannons could not be transported up the mountains because they were too heavy. It was difficult for war horses to maneuver in mountainous areas. The transportation of food and other baggage was also difficult.
It’s much harder than usual.
Sun Jinding ordered that when entering the mountains, each person should carry fifteen kilograms of rice to reduce the pressure on the supply camp. Then he ignored it and entrusted the command of the war to Sun Guangwei. He knew his own abilities best and had the ability to make plans.
Yes, but when it comes to commanding operations, I am not as good as Sun Guangwei!
As soon as they entered the mountain, Sun Guangwei, the uncle of Nanling in the Ming Dynasty, held a military meeting. Ruan Jin, Wang Chaoxian, Gu Zhong, Chen Qice, Lin Xingzhu and other generals gathered together.
"You all should discuss how to capture Chita?"
"Commander, the terrain here is steep. It's better to gather heavy troops and fight from hill to hill." Most generals advocated a steady and steady attack.
"Yeah", Sun Guangwei nodded.
"No, we should divide our troops into various mountains, advance together, and capture Chita City quickly." Suddenly, someone sang a counter tune.
Sun Guangwei took a look and saw that it was Lin Xingzhu, the commander-in-chief of Nerchinsk, who was in the limelight recently. "Oh, what are the opinions of Commander-in-Chief Lin?"
"At the end of the day, the general will think: the time is with the enemy but not us, and the military strength is with us but not the enemy."
Sun Guangwei asked curiously: "What does Mr. Lin mean by this?"
Lin Xingzhu said sternly: "Commander, Chita is very close to Yeniseisk of the Rakshasa people. As time goes by, I'm afraid the enemy will have new reinforcements arriving; our army has far more troops than the Rakshasa army. If we have fewer soldiers, we will gather together."
, there are many troops and can be divided. The general suggested that all departments should be dispersed and capture the mountains at the same time. You personally lead an elite army to take Chita City directly. Try to capture Chita before the Rakshasa reinforcements arrive and occupy Yablono.
Guard the mountain. In this way, the entire territory of Nerchinsk will be as stable as gold!"
The more Sun Guangwei thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Xingzhu's words made sense, so he ordered generals Ruan Jin, Chao Xian, Gu Zhong, Chen Qice, Liu Yipeng, Wang Xing, and Chen Biao to attack each mountain with their own divisions, and he led 3,000 elite troops directly to Chita.
Fort.
Marshal Sun issued a death order, regardless of casualties, and quickly attacked the mountain to be the first to take the lead.
After receiving the general's order, each general urged his subordinates to bravely attack the mountain, regardless of casualties.
The strength of the Ming army was far greater than that of the Rakshasa army, and they attacked the mountain at the same time, making the weakness of the Rakshasa army's thin strength more obvious.
In just ten days, most of the main hills outside Chita were lost.
Golovin had no choice but to retreat his army back to Chita City to resist. News came to him that made him desperate: the Ming army in Outer Mongolia repeatedly crossed the border under the order of the Ming governor Chen Bangyan, and the Yeniseisk warlord Bashkov
They did not dare to send reinforcements to rescue Chita; Vlasov and Anchiforka, who fled to Barguzin, were frightened by the Ming army and refused to join Chita on the pretext of defeat.
They gritted their teeth and persisted for more than ten days. The Ming army's offensive was extremely fierce, attacking Chita City wave after wave, repelling one wave and then another.
"General, Ivan, the general manager of Chita, was killed in battle." On this day, Golovin was supervising the battle at the top of the city, and another bad news came.
Although Golovin looked down on Ivan, he was a general of his own side after all, and his death still hurt morale.
"It seems that Chita can no longer defend it!"
After discussing with Milevalov, Golovin and Milevalov evacuated Chita overnight. The Ming army was in hot pursuit, and the Rakshasa soldiers were running wildly, killing countless people.
"General, over this hillside is Barguzin. After meeting with the Vlasov warlord, we will be safe," Milevalov said breathlessly to Golovin.
"Vlasov is a coward. After our army is settled, I will definitely give him a copy in front of His Majesty the Tsar." Looking at the few remaining subordinates who were struggling up the mountain carrying their baggage, Golovin muttered angrily. With the name Vlasov.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
The sound of killing came, and the Ming army was chasing after them.
"Quick, speed up, climb the mountain quickly," Golovin and Milevalov shouted.
??
"Commander, this mountain is Yablonov Mountain. It is a famous mountain in northern Xinjiang. Its northeastern part is connected with the Outer Xing'an Mountains. It can be said to be a natural barrier for Nerchinsk. If we can set up a stronghold and set up troops here, If we seize the traffic chokepoint, Nerchinsk will be able to be impregnable," Lin Xingzhu said to Sun Guangwei with great interest.
Sun Guangwei nodded, "What Mr. Lin said is true, this is where 'one man is in charge and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it'", he suddenly smiled and said to his subordinates: "Bring paper and pen!"
Opening and closing the doors widely, Nanling Bo wrote like he was fighting. In a moment, a limerick was finished.
"Climbing Mount Yablonov"
It's all said that this mountain is high, among the vast sea of clouds.
From now on, I will never see a god.
When immortals go and immortals come again, only then can the army and the people be safe.
A stronghold protects the key, and Hu Feng looks miserable.
