In the early morning, the bank of the Great Uwat River was filled with mist. After standing for a long time, I felt a little wet. There was no moonlight tonight, and there were many stars. The sky was cloudy like a Milky Way. The starry sky was bright and charming. But under this sky,
But there is a chilling atmosphere brewing. The water in this area is fast, and there is a cliff on the opposite side. It is because of this cliff that the Russians have relaxed their patrols in this area. After midnight, no one will come here to investigate, so this is a problem.
This gave the Northern Shanxi Army an opportunity to build a pontoon bridge.
There are many experts in the water in the army. They swam to the other side and successfully climbed up the cliff with tools such as flying claws. Ropes connected the north and south. The soldiers behind carried the prepared wooden boards and spread them on them. These wooden boards were wide and long, and they had their own characteristics.
With great buoyancy and the support of ropes, this simple pontoon bridge would not collapse. After the pontoon bridge was built, the soldiers climbed up the opposite cliff one after another through the bridge deck. Relying on the buoyancy, they could not collapse even if they were carrying shields.
It would not sink. Under the cover of night, the Russians did not realize that the Northern Shanxi Army had broken through the Great Uwat River defense line.
It was a long night, but Volkan didn't feel sleepy at all. Looking at the dark night outside the window, he felt just a touch of sadness. I don't know when he turned into a gambler and actually placed the fate of the entire Russia on the Great Uvat River.
The castle was eerily quiet. It seemed that everyone felt the aura of doomsday, for fear of angering the Grand Duke in the castle. The night wind in the Omsk Highlands was a bit strong, and the Gerginets Manor and castles were still unstoppable.
Cool wind.
The white birch trees loomed like shadows of the devil, baring their teeth and claws. What would be the future of Russia, Volkan had no idea. During this period, Volkan's arrogant temper disappeared, and a series of failures brought about
It is endless reflection and regret? After all, there is some. He was once so heroic and unified Russia, and should have become a great emperor, but now he has fallen to this point. He should have listened to Yeltsin's advice. If it had been two years later,
Launching the Eastern Expedition may not be the same as it is now. If the Yenisei River cannot be defended, at least the Qiusuming Jungle can be defended. The decisive battle on the Great Uvat River is cruel to ordinary Russians, regardless of
Win or lose, only a few of these Russian men will survive. Volkan knows how cruel he is to do this, but is there any other choice?
Directly retreating to the Tyumen region, haha, there are some things Volkan knows very well. Retreating to Tyumen means abandoning the entire Central Siberia, which Russia cannot accept under any circumstances.
The sky was dotted with stars, like twinkling eyes in the night dome, and a sense of fear suddenly surged in Wolkan's heart. This fear was a bit strange. Could something happen to the defense line of the Great Uvat River?
The cliffs on the south bank of the Great Uwat River. The terrain in this area is relatively high and the roads are rugged. Generally, except for shepherds, no one else comes to this place. At this time, the night is like ink, and a group of soldiers and horses are walking westward along the river like ghosts.
Move forward quietly. There are about a hundred soldiers and horses in this group, fully armed, with a hint of coldness in their eyes. Their target is the stone bridge to the west. They use sneak attacks to cooperate with the five thousand cavalry on the north bank to seize the stone bridge. At the same time
, to open up a stronghold for the follow-up army.
The leader of the Centurion is a general named Zhao Mingjiu, who is a well-known fierce man in the army. Zhao Mingjiu's original surname is Mang, and he is the son of criminals in Guangnan. There used to be some ethnic groups living on Guangnan Road, and their ancestors originated from the former Tang Dynasty.
.In that era, descendants of criminals would be cast into untouchable status and would not be able to leave for life, and were forced to bear untouchable surnames, such as Mang, Hu, etc. Mang San was one of them. From the time he was born, no one looked down on him, even where he lived
The village is also called a pariah village. Therefore, Mang San and his tribe have been doing the lowest jobs and earning the least money. For them, farming is a luxury. After the Wu Yangui rebellion broke out, Mang San
He also began to rebel against the imperial court and was captured by the Northern Shan Army in the Shaanzhou area. From then on, he became an ordinary soldier of the Northern Shan Army. Mang San was different from others. He did not seek anything else as a soldier, just for the sake of
Find respect and live an upright life.
Therefore, he fought bravely, but he never wanted to be favored by the governor. The governor did not look down on him, Mang San, and not only promoted him to the commander-in-chief, but also named him Zhao Mingjiu.
Some people say that Zhao Mingjiu is a mad dog. As long as he is a mad dog, he will complete it without thinking. He will do whatever Tie Mo says. Zhao Mingjiu himself sneers at these words and will not defend himself. It doesn't matter if he is a mad dog. At least the supervisor
The division gave him dignity. Leading a small group of troops to sneak attack the Shiqiao stronghold was extremely risky, but Zhao Mingjiu took over the task without hesitation. This is what Zhao Mingjiu should do.
As we got closer and closer to the Shiqiao stronghold, we could vaguely see the flickering light of fire, and the water of the Great Uwat River kept flowing, like hard work in the wind, carrying confusion. Zhao Mingjiu looked at the Shiqiao stronghold in the distance.
, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he raised his hand to make a beheading gesture, "Divide into five teams, set fire to the Shiqiao stronghold first, and then chop off the bearded commander in charge of the Shiqiao stronghold. No matter what the price, I will pay.
Even if everyone dies in the Shiqiao stronghold, we still have to kill the bearded commander, do you understand?"
"Here." Facing Zhao Mingjiu's cold gaze, everyone nodded slightly. They knew Zhao Mingjiu very well. This general was a bloodthirsty hound. He was very different from other generals.
Sometimes, I feel that Zhao Mingjiu is not like a general leading troops in war, but more like a crazy assassin. More than a hundred soldiers approached the Shiqiao stronghold, and everything went smoothly. The Russians obviously did not take much precautions. Although outside the stronghold,
There were a few secret sentries, but they were very lax, and they were dealt with in a daze. There were four Russian soldiers stationed at the door, and there were arrow towers on both sides. Zhao Mingjiu made a gesture, and someone quietly pounced on him with a dagger between his teeth. In the blink of an eye,
In no time, Zhao Mingjiu's men broke into the Shiqiao stronghold silently.
A loud bang broke through the quiet night sky, and the entire Shiqiao stronghold was alarmed. Although the stronghold claimed to have a thousand-man team stationed, the actual number was only about 700, so the stronghold was somewhat empty. When that loud sound
There was a noise, and a few people in the camp came out rubbing their eyes, not knowing what had happened.
More than 700 people were stationed in the stronghold camp, spread out, and there were only 200 people in the east area. As fires broke out in the houses and tents, the entire camp immediately exploded, and the Russians were in chaos.
The defensive force of the people was even weaker. Although Zhao Mingjiu's people were small, their purpose was clear. They rushed directly in and continued to create chaos. After the situation became chaotic, many Russians thought they were besieged by a large army, and their faces turned pale with fear.
.
The people stationed at the Shiqiao stronghold are not elite soldiers. Most of the so-called elite soldiers were used up during the Eastern Expedition, and the rest are guarding the ferry. Since they have not undergone strict training, their tactical literacy has naturally deteriorated.
Dazhi, without waiting for others to attack him, became a little disoriented and said, "What is going on? Is the Eastern army coming to kill us? How about we withdraw quickly?"
A Russian soldier didn't even put on his outer leather armor. He rushed towards the command post with a wooden gun in his arms. "Who knows, there is a lot of movement. Let's move closer to the command post first. If something goes wrong,
It's better to escape from the command post."
There were quite a few people who were thinking of escaping. The camp was just like herding sheep, and everyone was focused on escaping. No one organized the desired resistance. Commander Lesbarre was awakened from his sleep. Hearing that someone was attacking the stronghold, he raised the
The ghost head knife went out.
Military affairs have been busy recently, so I have been sleeping with my clothes on at night, which saves me a lot of trouble. When I came outside, I saw people fleeing everywhere. A small number of soldiers and horses took the initiative to form a formation to meet the enemy, but they were scattered in the blink of an eye.
, Leisbarre was so angry that his veins burst out. He grabbed a fleeing soldier and slapped his ears hard twice, "Why run away? This is the north bank. Even if the Easterners make a sneak attack, there won't be too many of them."
, everyone stop for me, turn around and line up to meet the enemy, if anyone dares to run around again, don’t blame me for being rude."
Resbarre was a bandit, he was ruthless and decisive in his work, and he did not have too many scruples. When he saw that the situation was not stable, he immediately hacked several people to death with a knife, so that the situation was gradually brought under control. Les Barre tried his best to
He gathered his troops, but as soon as he shocked his soldiers, he was stared at by a pair of sinister eyes.
Raisbarre's outfit was too high-profile, with a golden breastplate and a red cloak. He looked like he was no ordinary soldier. Looking at his decisive look, Zhao Mingjiu quickly determined that this guy was the commander of the Shiqiao stronghold.
Squinting, Zhao Mingjiu pointed in that direction and smiled sadly, "Did you see that red cloak? Kill him. As long as he meets the King of Hell, this stronghold will be ours."
Hearing Zhao Mingjiu's introduction, the dozen or so soldiers beside him also showed wolf-like eyes, roared, and a group of people rushed towards Les Bare. Les Bare frowned, but he was not a weak person.
, relying on his own bravery, he actually laughed and said, "How can it be so easy to kill me? Sons, don't be afraid, follow me and kill these oriental barbarians, cut off their scalps, and let them see how powerful we are."
"
Les Barre had an extraordinary appearance and a loud voice, which really boosted his morale. Many people began to move closer, and Les Barre himself was already fighting with Zhao Mingjiu. Zhao Mingjiu fought hard.
After a few moves, the tiger's mouth was numb and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. However, Zhao Mingjiu not only showed no fear, but also showed a bit of bloodthirsty madness. Zhao Mingjiu used life-threatening fighting methods, which made Lei Lei
Sibale was very uncomfortable with it. He didn't want to die with others. Different thoughts meant different effects. Gradually, Zhao Mingjiu actually suppressed Sibale.
The surrounding soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army were also brave and fierce, and they all focused their attention on Les Barre, as if Les Barre was a piece of fat meat. In less than half an hour, Les Barre finally couldn't hold it anymore, because
Many Eastern cavalry have already broken through the defense line on the south bank, crossed the stone bridge, and started attacking the Russian soldiers in the stronghold, but our own reinforcements have not yet arrived.
So Les Bale had a desire to retreat, but how could Zhao Mingjiu let him escape? Seeing Les Bale escaping to the arrow tower and trying to leave the stronghold from the other side of the ladder, Zhao Mingjiu's eyes flashed fiercely and he jumped
Get up, hug Lesbarred and roll down the ladder. The arrow tower is about four feet high. If you fall down, you will be half disabled even if you don't die, so there is no good.
Resbarre was very unlucky. He hit the ground directly on his head. He groaned when he hit the ground, and he was bleeding from all his orifices. His eyes were bulging and wide open. Before he died, he had only one thought, that is, he had met a madman, this Oriental man.
Even a mad dog is capable of such things as dying together.
Leisbarre died unjustly, and Zhao Mingjiu also broke his arm, but he was not in pain, he just sneered, with an expression of indescribable horror on his face.
One night later, the Shiqiao stronghold fell. Five thousand cavalrymen broke through the stone bridge. At the same time, more than 20,000 infantrymen led by Tie Mo personally began to besiege the town northeast of the Shiqiao stronghold. In just one night, the Russians discovered that the situation was changing very quickly.
Especially the garrison in the small town of Nosla. They couldn't understand. The Easterners only had 12,000 infantry at most. Why did there suddenly appear more than 20,000 infantry? In a short period of time, the Russians were overwhelmed.
In the face of an infantry attack of more than 20,000 people, how could only more than 7,000 people defend a place with a radius of dozens of miles in Nosla? Therefore, several captains in charge of the town of Nosla discussed it and decisively
Ordered to evacuate and join up with the main army in the rear.
Tie Mo successfully took advantage of the Russians' ideas. Hum, aren't the cavalry dismounted just like infantry? Who said that the ancient town cavalry would not fight without their horses? Zhou Dingshan personally led more than 5,000 people to storm the west side of the town of Nosla and stationed them there.
The Russians here still wanted to stop them, but when the two sides fought, they realized how big the difference in strength was. After the Russians collapsed in the western stronghold, Tie Mo successfully captured the town of Nosla. Tie Mo used his troops as fast as wind and fire.
, If it doesn't move, it will be a surprise. Volkan in the Gerginets Manor has been confused by a series of news.
"Report, Your Majesty the Grand Duke, all the garrison near Nosla have been taken away by the Easterners. News has just been sent from the front. The Easterners have more than 20,000 infantry. They have already put a lot of pressure on the forward garrison."
"What?" How could this happen? Volkan quickly calmed down. How could the Easterners gather so many infantry in a short period of time? Could it be that the Eastern cavalry gave up their horses? As soon as this idea came up, Volkan found it incredible.
But at present, there is no other explanation other than this possibility. Hiss, the Easterners are indeed extraordinary, they can also transform cavalry into infantry.
What happened in the small town of Nosla brought a huge shock to Volkan. The cavalry has always been the dominant force on the battlefield. Many times, even if three infantrymen are sacrificed, they are not willing to lose one cavalryman. But the Easterners actually
He did something crazy and took the initiative to turn cavalry into infantry. Near the Great Uvat River, there were only more than 30,000 Easterners in total, and the majority were cavalry. Why would there be more than 20,000 infantry in the small town of Nosla?
