The horses galloped, and several cavalrymen hurriedly broke into the Siberian city, came to the castle, turned over and dismounted, and squatted on the ground because they were too anxious. However, a few cavalrymen did not have time to feel the pain, so they rolled and crawled towards the castle.
He ran and said, "Report...report...to the supervisor. The detachment stationed at the Angara River received a report from the local herdsmen, saying that a large number of barbarian cavalry were passing by north of the Sayan Mountains."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the word Sayan Mountain. Several people immediately stood in front of the map to search for the location of Sayan Mountain and Angara River. Looking at it, they felt chilled all over. Tie Mo's heart skipped a beat.
, said anxiously, "Order the Angara River Patrol Soldiers to immediately go to the Sayan Ridge area to find out whether the news is true."
Just when Tie Mo handed down the order, the centurion patrolling the Angara River had already left for the Sayan Mountains early. General Qin Hao's mood was not as calm as it seemed. Qin Hao was originally accompanied by Liu Guoneng, but later
He was assigned here to be a commander-in-chief. In other words, he did not rise to the position of commander-in-chief step by step like most lower-level officers. This was the first time he led troops into battle. Qin Hao, who was new to the battlefield,
It is a huge challenge.
Going to Sayan Mountains may involve great risks, but many years of military knowledge told him that he must confirm the authenticity of the news. If all this is true, the impact will be great. If the barbarian army really knows
After building the plank road secretly and arriving at Lake Baikal successfully, the entire Siberian city and the Angara River will be shrouded in the harassment of the barbarians. As a qualified commander, Qin Hao understands the importance of Lake Baikal, although Siberia has had
It has made great progress, but agricultural development is insufficient and materials are scarce. Most materials have to be transported from the south. Especially in winter, almost all materials have to pass through Lake Baikal. Occupying Lake Baikal will control Siberia.
channel of life.
"Boss Qin, are you too worried? What the bearded man said may not be true. He is probably doing it for the reward!" A soldier said lazily. Qin Hao turned his head and glared at him, snorting coldly.
Said, "If you don't confirm it, how can you know whether it is true or false? Remember, there is no chance of luck on the battlefield. A little oversight can cost your life. Are you willing to lose your life on the battlefield, or would you rather work harder in peacetime?
?”
The soldier was speechless by Qin Hao and could only hold his hands in embarrassment. Near evening, this small team that was supposed to patrol the Angara River finally arrived at the grassland in the northern part of the Eastern Sayan Mountains that the herdsmen said. In Wuso
On the hillside, Qin Hao ordered the teams to disperse and look for anything unusual. Not long after, a patrol soldier ran back panting, "Boss Qin, in the southwest, the brothers found a large number of horse hoof prints.
.”
Qin Hao quickly hit the horse and ran over. The place where the horse's hooves appeared was on the grassland south of the Wusuo hillside. The horse's hooves extended far away. In some places, the turf had been flattened. The hair on Qin Hao's back stood up. How many cavalry would it take?
, can you achieve such an effect? What the herdsman said is true. A large number of soldiers and horses passed through the northern part of the Sayan Mountains, and there were countless cavalry. In the entire Siberia, except for the Northern Shanxi Army, the only people with a large number of soldiers and horses in Siberia
, only the barbarians were left. Qin Hao's expression changed drastically, and he turned around to touch the horse's reins. "Everyone immediately returned to Siberia City and informed the supervisor that a large number of barbarians had crossed the Sayan Mountains and Lake Baikal was in danger."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting loudly, the voice trembling with fear, "General Qin... is not good... the barbarian army... the barbarian cavalry..."
Turning on his horse and following the sound, Qin Hao's heart sank to the bottom. A group of dark cavalry appeared in the north, numbering more than a thousand. They wore strange flat-topped round hat helmets, black armor, and long and narrow cavalry.
Long sword. Germanic cavalry. With such a large number of cavalry, Qin Hao knew that he was in danger today. "Chen Qing, take your people and escape from the west. The rest of you will follow me to block the barbarian army."
Lieutenant General Chen Qing nodded desperately. Looking at Qin Hao's firm eyes, he shook the reins and led several of his subordinates to escape to the west. Someone must escape. Something about Sayanling must be done.
It must be passed to the supervisor in time, otherwise the entire Siberian Expeditionary Force will fall into passivity. What Qin Hao is facing is indeed the German cavalry, and it is also the most heroic and capable Knights of the Holy Cross in the Holy Roman Empire. This sneak attack on Lake Baikal
, Royce was in charge of the full command. Without the Slavs to hold him back, Royce showed his war talents to the fullest. At least from Nannuco City to the Eastern Sayan Mountains, he did not reveal any flaws until this small Oriental team
The detachment came to the Uso hillside and said, "Sugus, surround these Easterners and kill them all. Don't let any of them go. The plan to conquer Lake Baikal in the east cannot be affected in the slightest."
Lake Baikal, this beautiful lake, has once again become the focus of Siberia. From the beginning, Royce had great objections to the command of Lothair and Vyacher, and lacked sufficient understanding of the Easterners.
But they wanted to have a head-on collision, which was completely the work of reckless men. After the Battle of the Tunguska River, the proud temperaments of Lothair and Volkan were severely affected. In the absence of a better way, they had to
Don't think about Royce.
Although this proud man from the Frederick family was full of arrogance and a bit arrogant, his military talent was unmatched. As a large number of expeditionary forces came to Siberia, Royce knew that the coalition army was no longer large in number.
Advantage. What Royce hates most is head-to-head confrontation without any skills. It is no different from a reckless man. I have to say that Royce has very vicious eyes. It is not necessarily possible to say how much he knows about Siberia, but Royce
Still, he quickly and accurately focused his attention on the vicinity of Lake Baikal.
According to the herdsmen they found, the so-called Central Plains area of the Eastern Empire is also very far from Siberia. It actually takes about ten days to get from the border of the Eastern Empire to the Siberian city. With such a long distance, I am afraid that the Eastern people have more transportation channels than the coalition forces.
Not much better. Ice and Snow City, Siberian City, has many Siberians concentrated in this area, and most of their luggage has to pass through Lake Baikal. Of course, Lake Baikal has another advantage. It is located at the southern end of central Siberia. In winter, this area is
The best place to camp.
The movements of the German cavalry should be kept secret. The longer this secret is kept, the more beneficial it will be to one's side. Under Royce's order, Suggs led his troops to control the entire Uso hillside. The resistance of the Easterners was tenacious, but
The huge disparity in strength made this battle without any suspense. Qin Hao died on the Wusuo hillside. This young man from the land of Qilu was drowned in the torrent of history before he had time to shine.
There are lonely war horses everywhere on the hillside, and their owners are lying quietly on the grass. Maybe no one will remember their names in a hundred years, but no one can deny that they are heroes on the battlefield.
There was no smile on Royce's face, because at the end of the battle, none of the Easterners surrendered. This mysterious Eastern Empire possesses a magical power. Royce has fears and expectations. A terrifying
Jing's opponent is hard to come by. In the end, only Chen Qing and one of his personal followers survived the small team patrolling the Angara River. Chen Qing could not think of anything in his mind. He just instinctively drove his horses toward him.
Run towards the Siberian city.
Woo...woo...woo, there was a sound of horns. This was the signal for the city of Siberia to close the city gate every night. At this moment, a pair of figures supported each other and leaned on the city gate and knocked.
Get up, "I am Chen...Qing...Angarahe...tell the supervisor...the barbarian army...the barbarian army...is...in Bei
Gar...Lake..."
Chen Qing's voice became weaker and weaker, and he finally met in front of the city gate. He returned to the Siberian city alive and brought back reliable news. The Shengtianshen Castle was brightly lit, and the generals of the Siberian Expeditionary Army kept coming in and out of the castle that night, and people
The man looked serious. Faced with the situation in front of him, even Wang Zuogao, who was known for his cunning, was helpless. Who would have thought that when everyone focused their attention on the Taimyr Plateau and Ice and Snow City, the barbarian army would pass quietly.
As the dog-headed military advisor of the Northern Shanxi Army, Wang Zuoguan was very aware of the importance of Lake Baikal. All Siberia and external circulation passed through Lake Baikal. Therefore, the locals called Lake Baikal the life throat of Siberia.
The official road passing through Lake Baikal carries all exchanges between the north and the south. Lake Baikal is of course important, but the Northern Shanxi Army did not deploy heavy troops on Lake Baikal because Lake Baikal is next to the city of Siberia. The most important thing is that the barbarian army attacked Siberia and the Ming Dynasty.
Lacking understanding, they probably don’t even know about Lake Baikal, let alone the importance of this lake to Siberia. This is not contempt, but judging from all the previous military operations of the barbarian army, they have no regard for the southern part of the country.
Interested meaning.
"What should we do now? If the German cavalry has crossed the Eastern Sayan Mountains, I'm afraid they will attack the Angara River next, and Lake Baikal is probably already under the control of the Germans!" Although he didn't want to admit it, Tie Mo couldn't help it.
Without facing this reality, with the speed of the German cavalry, as long as there are no obstacles in the Eastern Sayan Mountains, they will surely reach Lake Baikal smoothly.
Faced with the dilemma, Wang Zuoguan had to come up with a solution, because it was his responsibility. As a counselor, he would have been derelict in his duty if he did not think about Lake Baikal in advance. "Superintendent, Lake Baikal is too important to us. There is no more
Lake Baikal, if the baggage cannot be transported in, this winter will become very difficult. Without the baggage supply, our advantage in Siberia will not be much left. Moreover, the most terrible thing is that once the baggage is scarce, the local tribes may have to
Stable, this is probably the result that the barbarians want. The more chaotic Siberia is, the better it will be for them."
"Well, what Mr. Dongfang said is true. I also think Lake Baikal is more important. But right now, most of our troops are concentrated in the east of the Yenisei River, and we don't have enough troops to go to Lake Baikal!" Hai Lanzhu directly said the last thing he said.
Tie Mo looked ugly at the fatal question, and Wang Zuogao frowned, as if he had thought of something.
Seeing Wang Zuoguan's complex expression, Tie Mo put his hand on the table and said coldly, "At this time, there is nothing to worry about. It is impossible to mobilize troops from the south in the short term. Tell me about you
idea."
After receiving Tie Mo's permission, Wang Zuogao gritted his teeth and squeezed out cold words from between his teeth, "If you want to take something, you must give it first. Since ancient times, you can't have it both ways!"
Although Wang Zuoguan hadn't finished speaking yet, Hai Lanzhu and Tie Mo had already tensed up their nerves. They had already guessed what Wang Zuoguan was going to say. Facing Tie Mo's gaze, Wang Zuoguan was not too surprised.
Don't worry, "Supervisor, although we have been operating in Siberia for many years, Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, and our control here is not perfect. Compared with the Central Plains, our strength in Siberia is too poor. Although the expeditionary force
There are more than 100,000, but they are scattered among several cities in the north and south, and the troops have been dispersed. The most dangerous ones are the original tribes in Siberia. These people were all suppressed by force by us. Once the situation changes, I am afraid that there will be many people near Siberia.
Chaos abounds. We currently have limited troops and are unlikely to attack from multiple fronts. If we want to keep Lake Baikal, we must give up something. Therefore, my subordinates suggested that everyone withdraw from Ice and Snow City and transfer the soldiers and horses from Ice and Snow City to Lake Baikal.
, forming a local strength advantage."
Sure enough, Wang Zuoguan's idea was amazing. The Ice and Snow City was built by the Ming Dynasty after spending a huge amount of manpower and material resources for a year. There were not many strong cities in Siberia, but one had to be given up. How could he be willing to give up one? But Wang Zuoguan
It is also a bloody fact. The strength of the Northern Shanxi Army in Siberia is not as strong as imagined. In the past, it could move freely and unimpeded. That was because the surrounding Siberian tribes were too weak.
Tie Mo frowned in confusion and did not say anything. Wang Zuoguan sighed and continued, "It is a difficult decision for us to give up the Ice and Snow City. It is true that doing so will hand over the Ice and Snow City to the barbarians.
The army has found a fulcrum. But it is not all without benefits. After winter comes, the barbarian army will inevitably concentrate most of its troops in the Ice and Snow City. In this way, the barbarian army's baggage route will be lengthened to the maximum extent. As long as we are in this regard
If we take action, we will definitely regain the initiative on the battlefield. As long as we control Lake Baikal and the official road from Siberia to Urg, we will have an absolute advantage in terms of transportation and equipment. This winter is our biggest threat.
, is also a threat from the barbarian army. The competition is not about whose combat effectiveness is stronger, but who can hold out longer. Without the baggage, will the barbarian army survive by grabbing things from all directions? If we are lucky enough, we can fight in the winter.
It is not impossible to cross the Yenisei River and attack the Slavs."
