There is still a large army marching west of Vladivostok.
This army is composed of tens of thousands of troops led by Tchaifkov.
Tchaifkov led the soldiers towards Vladivostok in an orderly manner and did not rush into anything. Compared with Medeyev, Tchaifkov was more low-key and more calm and experienced. He marched and fought extremely rigorously. He led the soldiers on the way and sent the first Dial is the scout, who specializes in investigating news, followed by the vanguard, who cooperates with the scout.
Finally, there is Tchaifkov's army.
The army marched forward in a rigorous and orderly manner, without being arrogant or impetuous.
All situations are under the control of Tchaifkov. Compared with most Russian soldiers, Tchaifkov is not tall. He is only 175 centimeters tall. He is considered short and thin. However, However, he has a calm and calm temperament, and every move he makes convinces the soldiers under his command.
"General, there is news from the front that Qing troops are coming." A soldier said.
Tchaifkov asked: "Have the other party's scouts been dealt with?"
The soldier shook his head and said: "The other party's scouts were difficult to deal with, so our people did not take action and quietly withdrew without alerting the other party."
Tchaifkov raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, well done."
After a pause, Tchaifkov said: "Since the other side's scouts have not discovered us, let's fight an ambush, wait for them to come, and then ambush." Tchaifkov started to prepare for the battle and prepare for the next battle. At this moment, Tchaifkov had another idea in his mind.
He led his troops from the west to Vladivostok. He was not exposed at first, but now the Qing army came to meet him. It seemed that their plan to divide the troops into three groups had been exposed, so Tchaifkov arranged the next ambush and after the war, he began to think about it. The rest of the plan.
He even had the idea of changing his plan.
Time gradually passed, and Tchaifkov and his soldiers hid in a white dead forest. The mountain was covered with heavy snow, and there was snow everywhere in the dead tree forest, which made it very difficult for Tchaifkov's soldiers. However, in order to ambush Long Ao, Lu Shaochuan, Tsaifukov and the soldiers all endured the bitter cold in the mountains and forests and waited quietly.
"General, there is a team coming from the front, it is the Qing army." the soldier reminded.
Tchaifkov said: "When they get close, listen to my orders."
The order was passed on and the soldiers were waiting.
Not long after, the teams under Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan approached. When the team passed the road on the edge of the dead tree forest, it had already entered the shooting range of the Russian soldiers.
"shot,."
Tchaifkov shouted and ordered his soldiers to shoot.
The sound of banging bullets was heard, echoing in the forest.
Suddenly, a dense barrage of bullets was fired, causing the Qing soldiers passing by the edge of the woods to panic.
"There's an ambush, retreat."
"Retreat quickly, we are ambushed, retreat."
Loud roars were heard, and the Qing soldiers turned around and retreated quickly.
Tchaifkov ordered the pursuit, and countless Russian soldiers rushed out. On the vast snowfield, one army fled in panic, and another army yelled and chased. It formed a beautiful scene, and the fleeing Qing army ran away. After nearly five miles, another Qing army came out on the road. This team was surprisingly soldiers from Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan.
In fact, Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan knew that there were Russian soldiers ahead, and deliberately sent troops there in order to lure the other side. Now the people under Tchaifkov's command were chasing them. Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan led the soldiers to fight out, and in turn came to attack the pursuing Russian soldiers.
Suddenly, the Russian soldiers fell into defeat.
In a short time, the situation turned around and Lu Shaochuan and Long Ao's troops were in pursuit.
The army pursued all the way, and when they reached the dead forest, another thing happened that left Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan helpless. Tchaifkov also had a back-up plan, treating the other person in his own way, and also ordered his subordinates to The ambush troops came out, and for a while, Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan were in a deadlock again.
The two armies fought, but Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan were defeated and had to retreat.
The two men led the soldiers to retreat quickly, and soon got rid of the pursuers behind them.
The army stopped to rest. Long Ao counted the number of soldiers under his command and found that there were only more than 1,200 soldiers under his command. At first, Li Zhen organized a militia and implemented the policy of all soldiers, and Li Zhen also took the opportunity to expand the number of soldiers under his command. Regarding the number of soldiers, Li Zhen sent troops to meet Muraviov and brought out more than 10,000 soldiers. Peng Yulin and Lu Shaochuan each led 2,000 people. Now there are only more than 1,200 people left, with 800 dead and wounded. Let Long suffer extremely heartache.
Lu Shaochuan sighed softly and said: "Old Long, we are so unlucky. We finally led the troops out once, but they were ambushed. This time, we were embarrassed in front of the prince again."
Long Ao said: "The other party is too cunning."
The two men took the soldiers to rest for fifteen minutes and then continued on their way.
Where Tchaifkov's army was, he summoned his generals.
Tchaifkov's expression was serious and he said unhurriedly: "The order issued by the Governor is for us to go to Vladivostok and raid Vladivostok. However, the Qing army already knows that there are people like us, and going to Vladivostok will not be able to have a surprise attack. I We decided to lead the soldiers to change direction and raid Li Zhen’s military camp. At that time, with the cooperation of the Governor, two armies will attack at the same time, one army in the light and the other in the dark, which will be enough to defeat Li Zhen."
Tchaifukov expressed his idea. After hearing this, none of the generals under his command objected, and they all agreed. After Tchaifukov obtained the agreement, he immediately sent someone to Muravyov's military camp to report to Muravyov. Report his decision.
…
In the Qing army camp, Li Zhen looked solemn and frowned.
His eyes fell on Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan. He did not expect that the two would end in failure. Li Zhen sighed softly and comforted: "If you lose, you will lose. It's not a big deal. There are troops stationed in Vladivostok. Coupled with the militiamen all over the city, even if Muravyov's army goes there, it will be useless."
Li Zhen did not hold him accountable, which made Long Ao and Lu Shaochuan feel even more guilty.
Long Ao said: "My lord, it's all my fault. I didn't think carefully, otherwise I wouldn't have failed."
Lu Shaochuan also said: "I didn't think carefully."
Seeing the knot between the two of them, Li Zhen explained: "There is no ever-victorious army in the world. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. It is normal for you to be ambushed. It is not a big deal. Those who lead troops in war must have a heart that can withstand pressure." You must be able to face pressure calmly, and you must be able to take it up and let it go. If you fail, you have to bear the pressure, and you must let go of the pressure caused by failure, and think about how to win the war and how to defeat the Russian army. , this is what you should consider, instead of wallowing in failure."
After hearing this, Lu Shaochuan and Long Ao nodded, their expressions serious and solemn.
Li Zhen continued to persuade, and after some conversation, they were comforted. After Lu Shaochuan and Long Ao were persuaded by Li Zhen, they began to cheer up and think about how to defeat the Russian army.
