Due to the urgent military situation, Tie Mo held a routine military meeting after entering the castle, "What's happening on the Taimyr Plateau?"
Shang Kexi was prepared and stood up and replied, "Supervisor, there are not many abnormalities in the Taimyr Plateau, but in the past two days, the Germans in the northwest have moved their camps closer and closer to the Yenisey River, and there are also many Slavs.
The farmers crossed the Yenisei River, and there are various signs that the Slavs intend to continue to build the city of Beisey. As for the soldiers and horses under Zeidov, since the Battle of Lake Baikal, the Slavs have concentrated their forces and have not attacked at all.
mean."
"Build Beisaihe City?" Tie Mo touched his chin and showed a meaningful smile, "It seems that these Western barbarians have learned to be smart and know how to build cities, but they are too arrogant and really think that we can't
Dare you take the initiative to attack? Dingshan, gather all the cavalry under your command, and start from the day after tomorrow, and harvest the entire Taymyr Plateau for my commander, especially those German cavalry. We want to fight them. They will tremble when they see us in the future.
.In addition, Igor, please lead the Tuva tribe from the Tunguska River to Beisei City. Once the German cavalry is attracted to the east, immediately send troops to Beisei City and capture all the Slavic farmers. These
The Slavic bearded man is the best coolie."
Igor and Zhou Dingshan stood up to accept the order. With the end of the Battle of Lake Baikal, and the majority of the servants being cavalry, the cavalry strength of the Siberian Front has far exceeded that of the coalition forces, especially on the Taimyr Plateau. As long as Zhou Dingshan does not do anything,
This is a big flaw. With his ability and the ability of the Yunfu cavalry, there is no need to worry at all. Attacking the Taimyr Plateau is just the beginning. Tie Mo will also devote enough energy to deal with the main force of the coalition forces in Ice and Snow City. These Western barbarians,
It's time to learn a lesson. This time I want to tell them a truth. Sometimes occupying a fortified city is not necessarily a benefit. Maybe this fortified city will become a burden.
The Siberian Expeditionary Force was in high spirits, and Tie Mo's orders were issued at all levels. When the soldiers heard that there was a battle to be fought, they were all very excited. Wolkan was hiding in the ice and snow city to live a leisurely life, but he had never thought about Tai Mo.
The Taimyr Plateau would reignite the war in such a short period of time. At the end of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Dingshan led 20,000 Yunfu cavalry into two groups to raid the Taymyr Plateau.
Caught in the middle.
Zhou Dingshan's surprise attack fully demonstrated what it means to be quick and efficient. At noon that day, the Yunfu cavalry attacked the Slavic camp from the north and south. The Slavic people in the camp were caught off guard. The Yunfu cavalry was divided into numerous small groups.
Soldiers and horses galloped and fought in the camp, and the whole camp turned into a mess. Chaidov was breathing heavily, and a lot of his hair was burned off. His eyebrows were the worst, and they became bald. Chaidov hated these things.
The Orientals actually came from the north. With so many cavalry, they did not attack from the front, but attacked from the rear. It was simply shameless.
"Master Chai Duofu, please leave quickly. The brothers in the north are about to be unable to withstand it. If you don't leave, you really won't be able to leave." A soldier dragged Chai Duov out, but the other party was
All the elite cavalry, especially the weird iron chain, the brothers prepared to form a formation to counterattack several times, but in the end they were all killed by the chain of iron chain horses and were completely routed. Chaidov's sunken eyes were filled with tears.
He was unwilling to escape like this even if he died. A dozen soldiers protected Chaidov and fled to the camp desperately. Fortunately, Zhou Dingshan's goal was only to defeat these Slavs and did not think about annihilating them all. This made Chaidov pick it up.
Saved a life.
The Slavic camp suffered a devastating blow, and the main force of the coalition forces in the Ice and Snow City could not sit idly by. After receiving the news, Volkan and Lothair organized a combined infantry and cavalry army of 20,000 people.
Starting from the south gate, we wanted to rescue Chai Duofu. Unfortunately, the reinforcements were attacked head-on by the Northern Shanxi Army less than twenty miles out of the city. Yeltsin had a gloomy and uncertain expression on his face, with a pair of triangular eyes showing a fierce light, looking at
Facing the neat and magnificent infantry formation on the opposite side, his heart was pounding. It was obvious that the Easterners had been waiting here for a long time. "Ledno, if you come to lead the battle, you must break through the Easterners' formation."
At the Tunguska River, Yeltsin saw with his own eyes how powerful the Northern Shanxi Army's infantry formation was. The formation was not only rigorous, but also full of changes. Therefore, he hoped that Redno's cavalry could create a miracle. If they could open a gap from the flank first, they would
There was a little hope. Ledno's soldiers and horses sprang out in batches and moved towards the two wings of the Northern Shanxi Army's infantry formation without the cooperation of the infantry. Ledno knew very well how powerful the Easterners' shield formation was.
, and there was a volley of musket fire, and he charged head-on. Redno had no confidence at all.
Han Niu'er raised his brows and looked at Li Jiucheng next to him with a wry smile. "These Slavic bearded men have become clever and outflanked them from both sides. It seems that we need to teach these bearded men what a formation is."
I saw the flag bearers waving the colorful flags in their hands, and the drum beat became two short and one long. The infantry formation immediately changed. The shield bearers in front slowly dispersed, and the square formations separated in turn. Then each formation was connected front to back, and the musketeers moved towards
Shrinking inside, it turned into more than a dozen circular formations that were constantly rotating. The circular trigrams were endlessly changing. When had Redno encountered this kind of formation after fighting for so many years? He didn't know how to deal with it.
In addition, the Slavic charge relies on fierce force, so a large number of Slavic cavalry rushed into the rotating circular formation unprepared. At first, they didn't think anything was wrong, but after rushing in, they discovered how big the difference was.
Every
The gaps around the circular formation were limited, and the Slavic cavalry could not pass through in large numbers side by side. They could only cross in twos and threes. Inevitably, they lost their numerical advantage in some places. In addition, they were all cavalry, and they were fast and followed the gaps randomly.
Interspersed. It was difficult for the Slavs to break through the outer shield protection. Instead, many people were stabbed over by the continuously extending spears when intersecting. Because the place where the two sides fought was full of dust, the dust was flying, and the line of sight was blocked. The Slavs kept intersecting, which was confusing.
It was so hazy that I couldn't rush out at all. I just felt like I was surrounded by enemies wherever I went.
Yeltsin looked at the entire battlefield from a distance. He kept swallowing his saliva. The shock in his eyes was so obvious. The Orientals' ability to change formations quickly and powerfully was really incomprehensible. How did they practice it?
Ledno's cavalry was already in a hard fight. If there were no accidents, it would only be a matter of time before they were completely wiped out. Yeltsin could only order, "The whole army will attack. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy."
The Slavs in the rear finally pounced on them. At this time, Han Niuer quickly waved his hand, and military orders were issued continuously. The large circular formation slowly shrank, forming three closely connected larger circles. In this way, those suffering soldiers
The unspeakable Slavic cavalry finally survived. However, those who were surrounded by the circular formation were unlucky, and were directly swallowed by the slowly shrinking circular formation. Redno gasped, and this
He was so dizzy after the battle that he didn't know how he survived.
After losing more than 3,000 men, Yeltsin had to order to retreat and retreat into the Ice and Snow City. Not long after Yeltsin fled back to the Ice and Snow City in panic, another troop appeared east of the Ice and Snow City. This was Shang.
The number of the army led by Ke Xi is about 10,000. After Han Niu'er's troops and Shang Kexi's troops joined forces, the total strength has exceeded 30,000. This huge army is stationed in the east of Ice and Snow City openly.
Face, neither retreat nor attack.
But at this time, the more the Northern Shanxi Army stood still, the more uncomfortable it became for the coalition forces in Ice and Snow City. Lothair was so scheming that he was called the Old Fox of the North by the lords of the Holy Empire, but even this old fox was helpless by the situation in front of him.
.Compared to Lothair, Volkan lost his composure. He was so angry that he yelled, "Damn Eastern monkeys, why don't they attack? What on earth do they want to do?"
If it was to prevent reinforcements from going to the Taimyr Plateau, they should be stationed in the southwest. However, all the Easterners were stationed in the east in an siege posture, but they did not attack. Lothair frowned, a little unhappy.
He said patiently, "Your Excellency, the Grand Duke, please be patient. Judging from the current situation, the intention of the Easterners is not to prevent us from rushing to the Taimyr Plateau, but to delay it. If you don't believe it, the Grand Duke can send reinforcements. I believe it."
The Orientals won't stop us this time."
In terms of the overall situation, Lothair is much smarter than Volkan. He believes that the Easterners at this time are looking forward to the Ice and Snow City sending reinforcements. The more the better, and when the number of soldiers and horses in the Ice and Snow City is reduced to a certain level, they will
It’s time to storm the Ice and Snow City.
In order to protect the Ice and Snow City, it is necessary to leave enough troops to defend the city, and the reinforcements sent will not be too many. The previous troops have reached the limit, and the results also show that the Easterners do not take these reinforcements seriously at all, "Big
Your Excellency, haven't you noticed yet? The Ice and Snow City was deliberately given to us by the Orientals. We used to think that with the Ice and Snow City, we would be invincible, but now think about it, the Orientals don't attack the Ice and Snow.
City, then what is the meaning of our so-called advantage? In order to defend the Ice and Snow City, we had to use enough troops. The Orientals used an Ice and Snow City to successfully immobilize us. We gained the Ice and Snow City, but lost it.
Flexibility and initiative. Hey, I'm afraid something big is going to happen in the Taymyel Plateau. Once the Easterners retake the Taymyel Plateau, without the source of supplies, the cold winter will become our biggest enemy."
Under Lothair's preaching, Wolkan slowly calmed down. Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and slammed the table, "It's broken, Beisai River City. We have concentrated a lot of manpower on Beisai River City."
Saihe City, if the Easterners intend to attack Beisaihe City, wouldn’t our previous efforts give them an advantage?”
After hearing what Volkan said, Lothair remembered this. For a moment, both of them were on the verge of tears. When they heard that the Orientals had evacuated the Ice and Snow City, they all jumped up and down with joy. Now that they think about it,
I think, it seems that the Taymyr Plateau is more important. After all, this passive situation is inevitable. What Lothair is most worried about is the German cavalry stationed on the Taymyel Plateau. Those cavalry are the blood of the Holy Empire. Once
The losses were heavy and the consequences were unimaginable.
Tens of thousands of troops were stationed in the east of Ice and Snow City. It was a miracle that the suppressed Western coalition forces in the city did not dare to move. In the final analysis, the Northern Shanxi Army was too capable of conventional combat. After Tie Mo's training and long-term training, it was a miracle.
After fighting in battle formations, the Northern Shanxi Army had extremely high combat literacy and was more focused on the overall situation. In comparison, the Barbarian Army was far behind. When Wang Zuogua decided to abandon the Ice and Snow City before, many people stationed in the Ice and Snow City were quite complaining.
, now that I see this situation, I can’t help but admire it.
Under the circumstances at that time, to dare to propose the idea of abandoning the Ice and Snow City required not only extremely high military talent, but also considerable courage, because this idea could easily offend others.
Volkan and Lothair were helpless about the situation in front of them, because as long as the Easterners did not take the initiative to attack the city, they would not be able to find any loopholes. After several battles, they had to admit that with the same troop strength, they would not be able to defeat the enemy.
It is too difficult to defeat the Easterners head-on in the wild. Lothair now begins to believe Royce's judgment. The Holy Empire has angered a lion that cannot be resisted. Of course, it is too late to stop now.
Legal Officer Merrige hurried into the room and saw that Lothair had not rested yet. He said, "Your Excellency, there is still no movement from the Orientals. As you expected, Volkan tentatively sent a group of troops.
Even the Easterners have no sense about horses."
"This Slavic bear knows that he will not give up. He has sent reinforcements at this time. It is estimated that all of Zaidov's people have been swallowed up by now. By the way, is there any news from Royce? We
How are the people?" Lothair has no time to care about the Slavs' losses. He just wants to know the situation of Royce's troops. The only hope is to count on Royce to use his military talents and lead the army.
The German cavalry on the Taymyr Plateau escaped disaster.
Sure enough, Merigi shook his head gently, with a sad look on his face, "There is still no news, but sir, no news at this time is good news."
"I hope Royce will be smarter and never go to North Seihe City, let alone try to rescue the Slavs. If Royce's people suffer heavy losses, then our connection with the Russians will be completely severed."
Lothair took a longer-term view. If there was a grain road, the Yenisei River must be in a very important position.
If even Royce's soldiers and horses are wiped out, then the long front from Ice and Snow City to the west of the Tunguska River will be dominated by the Easterners.
The soldiers and horses have been preserved. With this powerful German cavalry, there is always hope of reversing the situation. From the beginning of the expedition, when did you ever think that one day the hundreds of thousands of Eastern Expedition troops would pin all their hopes on 20,000
