Another day, nothing happened, but this peaceful situation is fatal to the Russians, because time means despair for Russia, but for the Northern Shanxi Army, it breeds endless
of vitality and hope.
In the evening of that day, all the generals above the guerrilla level came to the Chinese army's headquarters. The gloom of the past was swept away. Everyone's morale was high and their faces were radiant. Zhou Dingshan's eyes were bright and he couldn't hide his joy. "Supervisor, I heard from General Shadiao."
According to the news coming, the Russians are about to collapse. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yeltsin's troops on the west route are unable to organize a new round of offensive. We can completely free up our hands and directly solve the area near the town of Nosla.
The Russian barbarian army. After successive battles, Vasilev's troops still have nearly 8,000 soldiers to fight, but the strength of our cavalry has not been greatly damaged. We can attack Nosla at night with cavalry and suppress the rear with infantry.
Vasilev's troops will be destroyed in one battle. The threat from the east will be eliminated, and we will be able to advance and retreat freely and remain in an invincible position."
As soon as Zhou Dingshan finished speaking, he won the support of many generals.
Tie Mo smiled approvingly. The reason why Yeltsin dared to start a war here was not the so-called superiority of troops, but the pincer attack from the east and west sides. With the cooperation of Vasilev's troops, the two armies' pincer attack was limited.
The strategic space of the Northern Shanxi Army was equivalent to effortlessly seizing the initiative in the war. Killing Vasilev's troops was equivalent to breaking this east-west pincer strategy and fundamentally disintegrating Yeltsin's tactical deployment.
.
In the past, they did not dare to take the initiative because they did not have the strength. Now Yeltsin's troops are only half-breathed. With the speed and power of the Yunfu cavalry, it is estimated that it will take less than half a day to defeat Vasilev's troops. The offensive ones
The time has come, and Tie Mo will naturally not continue to be conservative, not to mention that he has other back-ups, so he immediately agreed, "What Dingshan said is right. It is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory. After a fierce battle, Vasilev
We are injured, and all the infantry and horsemen are in panic. If we can surprise Nosra, we will easily win."
There was no objection to attacking the small town of Nosla. The next step was how to attack. After two days of rest, the Yunfu cavalry finally took action. At Youshi, when the sky had just darkened, Zhou Dingshan and Cao Yuan led the Yunfu cavalry along the
Heading east along the ancient corridor road. Vasilev is a cautious person. He may not have great offensive abilities, but he has done a very good job in defense.
The vicinity of Nosla is divided into two camps, one mile and one away, with layers of barriers. Normally, if anyone dares to run wild in Vasilev's camp, he will never get any benefit, but it is different now. Vasilev
Husband's soldiers and horses were damaged too much, and the remaining soldiers and horses could no longer support two large camps, so he could only shrink his troops, which resulted in a lack of protection on the periphery. Speaking of which, Vasilev's life was not easy either.
, he suffered more than Yeltsin.
Although Yeltsin's side was severely damaged, it was at least to the west of the Orientals. As long as he was determined to escape, no one could stop him. But as for Vasilev, he stationed his camp in Nosla, and not only had to face
Facing the Eastern army in the west, there are also Eastern troops and horses guarding the east in the direction of New Nicholas. In fact, Yeltsin's troops and horses are also in danger of being attacked from both sides.
After nightfall, Yeltsin asked someone to change the medicine, drank some soup hastily, and then lay on the couch and fell into a daze. He lost this battle in a daze, but he also lost it heartily. After this battle, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Grand Duke.
A new round of attack was launched. Vasilev was a little confused. At that time, he was about to overwhelm the Orientals. Why did the Orientals just hold on?
Vasilev was thinking over and over again, his mind was in chaos, where could he sleep? At midnight, a cavalry came to the small river southwest of Nosla. This cavalry was the cavalry commanded by Zhou Dingshan and Cao Yuan.
Looking at the small town of Nosla in the distance, under the starry night, you can still see the vague outline of the town. Zhou Dingshan did not rush to launch an attack, but said to the young Cao Yuan, "In a moment, you and I will divide our troops into two groups."
, diagonally inserting into Nosla's outer positions from the southwest and southeast. Now Vasilev's troops have concentrated almost all their troops near Nosla, so don't take it lightly. Remember, don't
If you try hard, if you encounter stubborn resistance from the other side, retreat immediately. Once you get into a fight, you are likely to capsize in the ditch."
Although this battle was a sure win, Zhou Dingshan still looked serious and dealt with it seriously. After leading the army for so many years, the biggest gain is that you can never underestimate the enemy at any time. It is not uncommon to risk death and survive. Cao Yuan curled his lips, his expression
Relaxed, he felt that General Yang was too cautious. With the ability of the Yunfu cavalry and the situation of Vasilev's troops, wouldn't it be possible to collapse at the first touch?
However, Cao Yuan did not dare to show any dissatisfaction openly. The only consequence for disobeying military orders was death.
After midnight, most of the Russian soldiers were already asleep. At this time, the Yunfu cavalry divided into two groups, like two poisonous dragons rushing into the town of Nosla. There were dozens of cavalry in the front, with cavalry swords hanging on their horses.
, holding a strong bow, the Russian soldiers outside the town of Nosla only saw a flash of cold light, and were killed by muskets. Then, the entire town of Nosla was detonated, with shouts and curses
One after another, some Russian soldiers sounded warning gongs, signaling the Russian soldiers stationed in the town to quickly organize defenses, "The Eastern Cavalry is coming, everyone, hurry up and get ready!"
The cavalry was too fast. In addition, the Yunfu cavalry had been stationed in the small town of Nosla before and was no less familiar with the place than the Russians. So once they arrived at the outskirts of the town, the cavalry divided into more than a dozen groups and charged back and forth on the streets.
, from the town to the outlying camps, no one was spared. The Yunfu cavalry also learned the Russian method of attacking the Western Camp at night. Instead of killing people, they set fire to it first. While the Russians were putting out the fire, they were also busy dealing with the Yunfu cavalry.
, how could they cope with it? In just half an hour, flames broke out near Nosla, and many Russian soldiers scurried around like headless flies. Many of them did not die in the hands of the Yunfu cavalry, but were trampled to death by their own people.
During the Chou period, when people were sleeping, many Russians were still in a daze when the enemy attacked them. Zhou Dingshan was the ancestor of the cavalry, and he specially let people stare at the Russians' vital points and hit them.
The Russians are in a panic, and there seems to be danger everywhere. At least until now, the Russians have not figured out how many enemies are coming.
Vasilev was hanging by his arms, with more than a dozen personal guards protecting him. In order to escape, Vasilev did not even dare to wear his own military uniform. But even so, it was not easy to escape. Cao Yuanhe
Zhou Dingshan was different. With his current status, Zhou Dingshan no longer cared much about military merit, but Cao Yuan urgently needed military merit. When he arrived in Nosla, the first thing he thought of was Vasilev, which was a great military merit.
The town was in chaos. Cao Yuan ran to Vasilev's residence but couldn't find anyone. He immediately started searching frantically, "Where's Vasilev's old dog? Find it for me."
"General Cao, we just found a person on the street in the south. He seems to be a big fish." A cavalryman ran over and said. Cao Yuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't bother to care whether it was Vasilev or not, as long as it was a big fish. That's it.
, the unlucky Vasilev was bumped into by the eager Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan knew Vasilev. When he saw the guy surrounded, he immediately yelled angrily, "Vasilev, you old dog, I really think that if you shave your beard, I won't recognize you."
Vasilev can be considered a battlefield veteran. He was born in Komi, experienced several wars in Omsk, and followed several grand dukes. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a domestic slave with several surnames, and has experienced several large-scale coups.
, Vasilev can still live well and even occupy a place in Omsk. Naturally, he is not comparable to ordinary people in terms of self-protection.
When the Yunfu cavalry raided the small town of Nosla, he knew that this line of defense could not be defended. Vasilev knew better than anyone the morale of the garrison near Nosla. Although there were still more than 8,000 people,
However, the troops were stationed in four camps and dispersed. Facing so many fierce cavalry, the so-called advantage in strength disappeared.
Without the strength advantage, morale was low, and it was infantry vs. cavalry. You knew what the outcome would be. Knowing that the battle situation would not be too good, Vasilev was ready to escape early. Wearing the soft armor of an ordinary soldier,
He was also clean-shaven and had two bare arms, just like a poor Russian boy. No one noticed Vasilev after dressing up like this, so it was quite easy for him to escape with his life, but he also
I didn't expect to meet Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan had met Vasilev before. He cursed in a low voice, slapped his horse on the back, and several soldiers followed him. They pointed at Vasilev in the distance and shouted angrily, "That guy is Vasilev.
I’m going to kill him tonight, don’t let him get away.”
Vasilev looked back and groaned secretly in his heart. Now he has been targeted and his horse has been shot. He wants to escape with only two legs, unless he is possessed by God. Vasilev is really
He didn't want to die. He even escaped the rebellion in the Principality. Could it be that he was going to die at the hands of the Easterners? Seeing the horseshoes getting closer and closer, and even seeing the faces of the cavalry, Vasilev finally made a decision.
Throwing the steel knife, he fell to his knees on the ground. This scene happened too suddenly, because before this, Vasilev had always given people the impression of being brave and good at fighting. Who would have thought that this battlefield warrior would actually kneel down and beg for mercy.
Cao Yuan was not mentally prepared at all. He charged for a while with his cavalry sword, and was almost shocked to death by Vasilev's kneeling. Cao Yuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he could not see the slightest hint of joy. Several soldiers behind him also
He also stared at Vasilev fiercely, as if Vasilev had robbed them of their money. If possible, Cao Yuan really wanted to point at Vasilev's head and curse, what the hell is this, lead the troops himself
The charge was just for Vasilev's head, which was a great military merit. Now that it's better, once Vasilev surrendered, he couldn't continue to kill people.
Cao Yuan was angry, but he would not kill Vasilev in anger. After all, Vasilev's identity was there. He took the horse's reins and took two steps. He glanced at the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Come here, please
This guy was kidnapped, and two thousand people were sent to search eastward along the town. Anyone who resisted would be killed. Before this time, I hope that there will be no more Russian troops within a thirty-mile radius of Nosla."
"Here" the cavalry quickly separated, which also heralded the end of the Nosla raid. Vasilev also knelt down and begged for mercy. The other Russians would not continue to resist. Those who fled in all directions could not outrun the four-legged horses.
, before dawn at Chenshi, the fighting near Nosla was basically over, and most of the stubborn resisters were killed. For Cao Yuan, this victory was nothing to brag about.
The Eastern Front led by Vasilev was almost completely wiped out, and Yeltsin's hard-working east-west pincer strategy was shattered. Now Tiemo was truly invincible. New Nikolay was heavily besieged.
The war situation south of the Suzdal River became increasingly clear, and Tie Mo finally relaxed. By now, the Russians had lost the capital to continue fighting, and their morale was sinking again and again, and they were on the verge of collapse.
When Cao Yuan returned from victory, the morale of the Northern Shan army was greatly boosted. Zhou Dingshan and others all gathered in the commander's tent to discuss the next step of action. Cao Yuan could not hide his joy, "Supervisor, Vasilev's front army was simply defeated at the first touch. General
Taking down Nosla was almost effortless. Now that all the threats to the east have been eliminated, only Yeltsin's troops are left near the city of New Nikolay. The general suggested taking action against Yeltsin's troops as soon as possible.
In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, Vasilev’s troops will be annihilated, and if Yeltsin concentrates on escaping for his life, it will be really difficult for us to stop them.”
Tie Mo looked relaxed, listening to the discussions among the people below. After hearing what Cao Yuan said, he sat up straight and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, "Okay, everyone, please be quiet. The current situation is very beneficial to us.
, Yeltsin's troops have no strength to fight anymore, but they are close to the city of New Nikolay, so if they want to escape, they still have a great advantage. However, my division commander has already made arrangements. Even if the Russians try their best to escape,
It’s not that easy either.”
After pondering for a moment, Tie Mo continued, "The generals will listen to the order and rest for a day today. At midnight tomorrow, the entire army will set off, targeting Yeltsin's headquarters. In this battle, we must capture New Nikolay City in one fell swoop, and try our best to
to eliminate the remaining resistance forces of the Russians."
When everyone heard this, they all looked excited and stood up, "Don't worry, Commander, we will fight hard and not give the Russians an opportunity to take advantage of it." The crowd was excited and morale was high. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army were full of confidence.
, fearless.
In contrast, Yeltsin's troops could be said to be in a gloomy mood. Their morale was already low. When the news came that Vasilev's troops had been wiped out, their low morale plummeted even further.
