Under the cover of night, a strong man was sitting on a stone pillar, wiping a steel knife, and talking incomprehensibly. Cao Yuan has been very unlucky recently. Since the disastrous defeat of Kaqig, not only was he dismissed from his position as commander, but also
He couldn't even keep his original position as the commander of the capital. Now he has become a small capital. He was directly demoted from the commander to the capital. This speed of demotion is definitely a three-thousand-foot drop. Over at the West Camp
It made everyone panic, but Cao Yuan could only stare. Damn it, if he, Cao, were still stationed at the West Camp, I would definitely kill the shit out of those bearded men.
Cao Yuan was also a fierce man. Now that he was demoted to a small commander, he felt aggrieved. However, he did not dare to complain. After such a good war, so many brothers died.
It was a good thing that the supervisor didn't chop off his head directly. Just as he was feeling depressed, he saw a figure running from a distance. When he saw the person coming and breathing heavily, he immediately became happy and said, "Tsk, you're not a little kid."
Hu, why did you come to Cao? Did the big beard come again? Cao will kill them all."
Hu Weixian coughed twice in embarrassment. He did not dare to be arrogant in front of Cao Yuan. All fools knew that Cao Yuan's position as boss was only temporary and could be restored to his original position at any time. He cupped his hands and Hu Weixian whispered, "General Cao, the Superintendent wants to see you if I have something to do."
"
Upon hearing Tie Mo's search, Cao Yuan had no intention of teasing, threw the knife aside, and hurried to the commander's tent. Cao Yuan walked as fast as flying, but Hu Weixian suffered a lot. He wanted to take this opportunity to enter the commander's tent and see the world. Enter
Ruifeng Camp has some time, but has never attended a military meeting. It would be a lie to say that I am not curious.
Cao Yuan didn't know what Hu Weixian was thinking. He came outside the commander's tent and straightened his clothes before going in. Hu Weixian had quick eyes and quick hands. He approached from behind and shocked Cao Yuan. "Xiao Xianzi, why are you following me? I don't know the military."
Are you following the rules? Get out of here right away."
After finally sneaking in, Hu Weixian would not be dismissed by a few words from Cao Yuan. He bowed seriously and said, "Superintendent, the last general has invited General Cao here. I wonder if the Superintendent has any other instructions?"
Cao Yuan's face turned dark with anger. I'm standing here alive, and you still use you as a brat to reply? Tie Mo was also surprised, but soon understood what Hu Weixian was thinking. Hai Lanzhu pursed her lips and chuckled, but she knew
Oh, Hu Weixian, this kid is very courageous. Tie Mo has always looked at Hu Weixian with special eyes, and even Hai Lanzhu also loves the house. "Okay, General Cao, sit down quickly. Since Xiao Xianzi is here, sit down
Let's listen to it, it will be good for the future, maybe this guy can be of some help."
Hu Weixian was young after all, and immediately she was overjoyed, clasping her hands and shouting "Hello Madam". However, Han was so temperamental that no matter how many flattery words he said to her, there was no reaction. Cao Yuan was very depressed, how could Hu Weixian, a hairy monkey, be able to do that?
, why was the supervisor so kind to him? Zhou Dingshan knew about Hu Weixian, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boy, what are you still doing? Sit down quickly."
Zhou Dingshan pointed to the empty seat next to him, and Hu Weixian folded his hands and bowed in a circle before sitting down.
Tie Mo glanced at Cao Yuan, but there was still no smile on his face. He was obviously still angry, "Are there many herdsmen in the nearby pasture?"
"Yes, almost every household there raises cattle and sheep, especially sheep. Each village can raise hundreds of sheep. Supervisor, why do you ask this? Is the food and grass stored in Xi Daying?" Cao Yuan suddenly said
He was a little surprised, but it's not surprising that he thought so. Since entering the Istria Highlands, the army had done nothing wrong with Russian civilians. If there wasn't a problem with the baggage, how could it be interested in the herdsmen?
Tie Mo glared directly, knocked on the table, and said angrily, "What are you talking about? If I want to rob cattle and sheep, do I need to call you over? Do you think that I will leave you, General Cao?
, so nothing can be done?”
"Ahem!" Cao Yuan blushed for a while, immediately lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to talk any more.
Tie Mo thought for a while before continuing, "You know the neighborhood better, and the people there also know you. You will go there soon and collect as many cattle and sheep as possible, but remember not to steal or rob. If
If you make people angry and mess up the matter, you won't have to worry about it. From now on, you can carry the big pot behind me for the governor."
After being glanced at by Tie Mo, the cold sweat on Cao Yuan's back stood up. Even if he was a leading soldier, he couldn't bear the blame for the march. He, Cao, couldn't afford to lose this person? No matter how difficult it was to handle.
Cao Yuan quickly stood up and said loudly, "Supervisor, don't worry, I will ensure that everything will be done smoothly."
"Go, little Xianzi, follow General Cao and see the world." Waving his hands, Cao Yuan led Hu Weixian out as if to shoo away flies.
It's all the cattle and sheep's fault. It's really hard to handle this without stealing, robbing, or making others angry. But Hu Weixian is following him. This kid has no experience in the world. He is like a little spy responsible for supervision.
ah.
No one knows what price Cao Yuan paid. Anyway, when he left, the local Russian people happily gave the cattle and sheep to him. Looking at the attitude of the villagers, they would not accept it. The cattle and sheep were brought, and Cao Yuan felt great in his heart.
The stone finally fell, but Hu Weixian was dissatisfied. On the way back, he kept muttering, "Isn't it bad for General Cao to do this? You promised so many benefits, but are you treating the governor like a fat sheep?"
Cao Yuan's face dropped, and he stared hard, "What's wrong? The supervisor won't allow stealing or robbing, and we can't make people angry. If Cao doesn't promise more benefits, they can leave the cattle and sheep in our hands."
?”
"Then the benefits you promised are too many. It's just for use. Afterwards, you will compensate for a hundred kilograms of grain. If you lose a sheep, you will also be compensated for another twenty kilograms. Are you digging a hole for the supervisor?" Hu Weixian looked black and angry.
If it weren't for General Cao's incredible strength, he would have gone up to fight.
Cao Yuan was very thick-skinned. He waved his hands and said impatiently, "What should we do? At least Cao didn't go against the supervisor's wishes. At the beginning, the supervisor didn't say any restrictions."
"You... General Cao, I guess you can't be considered a fool." Hu Weixian was too lazy to pay attention to Cao Yuan. In the middle of the afternoon, Cao Yuan and others drove the cattle and sheep back to the camp. Hu Weixian was a qualified little spy.
He immediately stood in the commander's tent and told what Cao Yuan had done. Tie Mo was pretty good. Zhou Dingshan almost lost his temper. He pointed at Cao Yuan's head and cursed, "Cao, you really can talk."
, so much food was given to the Russians, what did the soldiers eat?"
Cao Yuan dared to grin at Hu Weixian, but he did not dare to stand in the commander's tent and pretend to be a master. He could only pretend to be pitiful with a bitter face, "Superintendent, General Zhou, there is nothing you can do about it. If you don't promise more benefits, how can those Russians accept it?"
trick?"
Zhou Dingshan wanted to scold him again, but Tie Mo shook his head and said softly, "It doesn't matter. Although the food problem is difficult to solve, it will be a matter for the future. It is important to deal with the immediate matters first."
Cao Yuan was immediately overjoyed, but Tie Mo's next words almost made Cao Yuan burst into tears. Tie Mo still looked calm and said slowly, "But General Cao has worked hard and has done a great job. He should be rewarded. He will help in the kitchen from now on."
Bar."
Ga, Cao Yuan's face was earth-colored, and he kept scanning the people in the tent, hoping that these people could help, but Zhou Dingshan and the commanders all turned their faces away. Hu Weixian raised his chin proudly, hmph, this is terrible, I really thought
The supervisor is very calculating.
General Cao is indeed a deceitful person, but luckily he found the cattle and sheep smoothly, but in Tie Mo's opinion, it is not unfair at all for General Cao to take the blame for the march. This bastard is simply a business idiot, and he is not guilty of anything.
It's better for him to be a businessman. It was worth ten guan, but he spent a hundred guan to buy it. I guess those Russian farmers laughed miserably. They were afraid of regretting such a good deal.
The night attack incident made the soldiers in northern Shanxi panic. But the Russian army was very different. Yeltsin was very happy. He originally thought that it would be enough to cause more casualties, but he did not expect that Yeltsin was so powerful that he actually killed the entire Western Camp.
They were all destroyed. After hearing the results of the night attack, the morale of the army was greatly boosted. After fighting for so long, the Russian warriors finally won.
The soldiers were quick and pursued the victory. Before midnight, Yeltsin sent someone to notify Vasilev in the east, preparing to launch a new round of attack at the same time. Yeltsin believed that as morale waxed and waned, this time the Russian warriors
We will definitely be able to defeat those hateful Orientals in one fell swoop.
About the middle of the day, the two sides formed an array again. This time it was different from the previous two days. The Northern Shanxi Army put up a desperate defensive posture as soon as they came up, with a long yin and yang snake array inside and a thick circular array outside for protection. The circular array
The contraction was very tight, and Yeltsin was very happy. Let the Easterners be more arrogant, and now let's see what kind of waves they can create.
He did not rush to order an attack, but he observed the defensive formation of the Northern Shanxi Army through a telescope and found that the opponent's defense was tight and using bullet rain to suppress it would probably not have much effect. "Inform Vasilev and let him attack from the southeast.
Lock the retreat route of the Easterners, Quadrema, you personally lead the frontal assault, cover the wall and cross the enemy's defense line, and rush out of the enemy's defense line as quickly as possible."
Quadrema was ordered to carry out the expedition. This time the Russians were full of confidence. The Easterners had defeated the Western Camp, and people were in panic. This was the time when the defensive power was at its weakest. If the Easterners' defenses could not be broken through,
Then the Russian warriors should really be killed by a piece of tofu. This time, the Russians maintained a tight formation. In order to preserve their combat effectiveness and cover the wall when they hit the city, the five thousand soldiers gathered all the shields in the army. Almost everyone had one hand and raised the shield.
Above the head, if viewed from a high altitude, the shields raised by the Russian army are connected together, like a huge moving fortress.
Of course, this method is clumsy and the movement speed will be slowed down, but the effect is obvious. Today's Northern Shanxi Army is no better than a few days ago. After the constant losses of troops and horses, it can no longer take the initiative to attack blatantly. Once they attack, the losses will be huge.
Bigger. Looking at the posture of the Russians, Tie Mo's scalp felt a little numb. The method Yeltsin came up with was stupid, but there was really nothing he could do against them. After the Russians entered the shooting range, Zhou Dingshan ordered to try several rounds of bombs.
The rain covered them, but the result was little effect. In this way, tens of thousands of Shanxi and Northern troops watched helplessly as the Russians crawled over like turtles.
The Russians rushed forward, and the ramming wood began to exert its power. The ramming wood impacted the shield formation. This method was created by the Northern Jin Army. Of course, they understood the power involved. In order to withstand the impact of the ramming wood, many pikemen gave up their weapons.
He helped carry the shield, but despite the large number of people, he was still suppressed and retreated step by step. The pressure caused by hitting the city wall was too strong. He hit it so hard that the shield shook people's ears and made their heads spin.
As the number of collisions increased, the area that needed to be defended became larger and larger. Finally, a shield array was knocked down, and the Russians rushed forward with their shields. After two consecutive days of fierce fighting, the Russians also held back their anger, and now they finally saw
With the hope of victory coming, they couldn't help but become excited. Under strong pressure, the front row of shield soldiers killed dozens of soldiers in the blink of an eye. In order to avoid more casualties, they could only retreat quickly and merge with the rear row formation.
Although it was resisted, the outer formation was still peeled off layer by layer. Although the speed was very slow, as time went by, the layers of defense in the circular formation would be eaten away step by step sooner or later. Tie Mo still looked calm and calm.
With a vague smile on his face, no matter how worried he was at this time, he couldn't show it. If a soldier is brave and the general is in chaos, then his subordinates will be in chaos.
The Russians are breaking through layer by layer, and the effect is becoming more and more obvious. If this continues, the result will be self-evident. Yeltsin showed a proud smile. When he decided to launch a night attack before, many people didn't take it seriously. Now, who would dare?
Questioning his decision? You will inevitably have to walk on a cliff in this life, and you will either go to heaven or hell if you step out.
At this moment, it seemed that the Orientals were defeated like a mountain. As long as the Oriental Governor was eliminated, the Orientals would become a piece of scattered sand. With Yeltsin's prestige in Omsk, he only needed to raise his arms and start from there.
From Omsk to New Nikolay, there will be endless echoes from a distance. Hurry up, hurry up, Yeltsin tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, and no one noticed that his hands were shaking slightly, and his eyes were full of fanaticism.
Quadrema led the troops to achieve results, and the second batch of Russian soldiers also rushed forward. In order to reduce the offensive resistance, Yeltsin finally launched the next plan, "The musketeers moved forward, covering the opponent's center as much as possible, and reducing our
Offensive Resistance.”
The Russian musketeers who had been waiting for a long time kept moving forward. After reaching a certain distance, they began to rain bullets. The entire circular formation of the Northern Shanxi Army finally ushered in the most difficult moment.
At this time, the two sides were fighting together. The Northern Shanxi Army's musketeers were unable to cover the missiles at all, but the Russians were different. The Northern Shanxi Army's circular formation had a long distance from the periphery to the middle. As long as the missiles were fired inside the circular formation, there was no way.
