The key to Kutuzov's plan is that the Prussian army, not the Russian army, attacks first. If the Russian army attacks first, then Kutuzov's pressure will undoubtedly increase greatly, because he must win and it must be a big one.
win.
You must know that Prussia is not a shrimp that can be manipulated by the Russians. Although there are not many standing armies in Prussia at this time, once the Prussians become ruthless, they can mobilize an army of tens of thousands. At that time, only Kutu can
Zov's troops are definitely not enough. He must ask for support from St. Petersburg. But once he asks for support from St. Petersburg, his series of actions will be revealed to the world.
Of course, Kutuzov's current actions can no longer be concealed from some people. As mentioned before, the key lies in the attitude of Queen Catherine II. After victory, the Queen can pretend that nothing happened, and Kutuzov
Kutuzov will also become a hero of the Russian Empire, but once he fails, Kutuzov will definitely become a tool in the hands of the Queen to shirk responsibility from other countries.
That's why there were two orders with completely different contents, but this was a embarrassment to the Russian generals. The commander of this six thousand Russian army was like Ferdinand at this moment, wishing to pluck all the weapons from his head.
Not much hair.
Not to mention the entanglement between the Prussian and Russian army generals, there was indeed a sea of joy in the city of Königsberg. At first, the rebel soldiers on duty at night were frightened when they saw countless torches lit not far from the Prussian military camp outside the city.
They were shocked, but after sending someone to get in touch and learning that it was the Russian army, the rebels' nerves that had been tense finally relaxed.
When the news reached Clayman's ears, the former playboy cried with joy. No one knew how much pressure Clayman had been under during this period. Only Clayman himself knew that in the past few days of the battle,
The total rest time was less than twelve hours. Sometimes I was already asleep, but I would be awakened by the sudden sound of gunshots, causing insomnia.
What I have to admit is that what Clayman did during this period was seen by everyone. His actions completely changed people's impression of him. The rebels began to support this sudden
The superior leader and fought bravely for it.
Soon after tears of joy fell, Kleinman ordered to announce the good news to the whole city. At the same time, he personally visited the homes of several major rebel generals to express his gratitude to them for their brave fighting during this period. At the same time, he also personally visited
The military camp in the city visited all the wounded rebel soldiers and shouted to everyone:
"The first reinforcements of our Russian allies have arrived. We have been fighting for so many days and have finally seen the light of day. Believe me, this is not the first batch of reinforcements. Our allies will assist us with tens of thousands of troops.
At that time, we will return double what we have endured during this period to those evil accomplices of the tyrant."
Kleinman's words turned the entire military camp into a sea of joy, and some rebel soldiers even danced a celebratory dance in the center of the camp.
Seeing the soldiers' morale instantly improve, Clayman stood on the high platform and smiled happily.
But the next day, Kleiman looked in the direction of the Russian military camp and his face was livid. The reason was that the envoy he sent to contact the Russian army early in the morning was kicked out by the Russian army, and the Russian army commander did not receive Kleiman's envoy.
After the envoy returned, Kleiman immediately ordered the news to be blocked. At the same time, Kleiman smiled at the many nobles who followed and said that the Russians had promised to cooperate with them internally and externally at the critical moment to launch a fatal blow to the Prussian army.
Of course, because the strength of the Russian army is still slightly weaker than that of the counter-rebellion forces, the Russian army commander did not attack rashly for the sake of the overall situation. However, there are still 5,000 Russian troops on the way. As long as the second batch of reinforcements arrives,
The Russians will take action against the counterinsurgents.
After the nobles heard the news, they thought about it and found that the situation was indeed as Clayman said, so they all left Clayman's mansion happily. Only Clayman himself knew how big the smile was on his face.
Bitter.
The reason why the Russian army coach was unwilling to see Kleiman's envoy was that it was Kleiman who put him in such a difficult situation. If it hadn't been for Kleiman himself, he would never have come to this damn place.
How could he be involved in such a big thing? Once he is exposed, he will die without a burial place. Although this Russian general is Kutuzov's best friend, no one is willing to take the initiative to die.
Moreover, now is not the best time to discuss with Kleiman. Due to the arrival of the Russian army, the Prussian army has been huddled in the camp to strengthen its vigilance. Facing the Prussian army with more troops than itself, the Russian army commander is not willing at all.
Go and ask for trouble.
And Ferdinand is also thinking about the opponent's Russian army's method. Although the number of the Russian army is a little smaller than his own army, it can be seen from the Russian army's training in the morning that the Russian army has a large number of cavalry. If they take the initiative to attack, they will use infantry.
It is extremely unwise to attack the cavalry. This is not the era where all cavalry will be wiped out by machine guns. The cavalry is still the most powerful unit in this era.
During the battle with the rebels in Königsberg a few days ago, the counter-rebels suffered enough from the rebel cavalry. Often when the two armies were fighting for positions at the most difficult time, the rebel cavalry suddenly came out of nowhere to feed the counter-rebels.
The rebels caused trouble, which Ferdinand hated deeply.
But the confrontation cannot continue forever. The place where the war occurred is Prussia's territory. The Russians don't care, but Prussia must put down the war as soon as possible so that it can have more time to restore the vitality of the region.
But like the Russians, Ferdinand was not sure that unless there were reinforcements, he would rely on his superior strength to crush them like a steamroller.
Sure enough, on the third day after the Russian army arrived, Henry arrived with reinforcements. Seeing Henry's arrival, Ferdinand hurried forward and hugged Henry.
Henry was startled by Ferdinand's sudden move. He quickly pushed Ferdinand away and said loudly:
"Ferdinand, you'd better stay away from me, I don't like your taste."
Hearing Henry's joke, Ferdinand chuckled and said:
"Henry, why do you mean you are not good to me, but I am not good to you?"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Regarding Henry's arrival, Ferdinand felt that the problem that had troubled him for two days was finally solved. At the same time, Henry also brought him good news. Eight thousand troops came from Brandenburg and five troops from Bohemia.
The Qianda army is still about eight days away from here.
After hearing the news, Ferdinand hugged Henry again excitedly and shouted:
"You are truly my lucky star"
Henry was made to smile bitterly by Ferdinand's actions, but Henry understood Ferdinand. The so-called famous generals were forced out, and the pressure they needed to bear was too great. If you were defeated, it would be like Laudon of Austria.
Like a marshal, who cares about him after he is defeated? Not only do they not care, but they even despise him, because people think that he ruined a great army that conquered the country.
After Henry's 5,000 troops joined Ferdinand, the total strength of the counter-rebellion forces reached 15,000. Even with such a force, Ferdinand felt no pressure even in the face of the joint efforts of the Russian army and the rebels.
Of course, after joining Henry, the commander of the army became Henry, but as old comrades, the two had a good understanding. Henry did not say that Ferdinand would be completely deprived of his rights. He still let Ferdinand be the commander of the former enemy.
, Ferdinand led the army to launch an attack on the Russian army.
But unexpectedly, before Ferdinand could lead his army to attack the Russian army, a sentry reported that some rebels in Königsberg had rushed towards the counter-rebels. This news shocked Henry and Ferdinand.
Surprisingly, no one expected the rebels to be so sophisticated.
But now is a good opportunity, Henry thought in his mind.
Henry then decisively ordered Ferdinand to lead his army to stay on guard, and at the same time ordered an army of 3,000 men to attack the rebels who rushed out of the city.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on? I just asked you to defend the city. Why would someone attack outside the city?"
After learning the news, Kleinman angrily yelled at his generals in the mansion. Several rebel generals looked at each other innocently, and then an elderly general said:
"Originally, Your Excellency's order was well implemented, but some of the nobles in the city were very excited after learning the news of the arrival of our Russian allies. They clamored to give the tyrant's accomplices outside the city a better look and guard the city gates.
The soldiers didn't check for a moment and actually let them rush out with the people."
This answer not only did not make Kleiman's anger disappear, but made Kleiman even more angry. But at this moment, someone rushed in and reported to Kleiman that the Prussian army was attacking the rebels who rushed out of the city.
After hearing the news, Clayman left several generals behind and hurried towards the city wall. After Clayman left, several generals looked at each other strangely for a few times and then hurriedly chased towards the place where Clayman disappeared.
past.
Just as Clayman rushed towards the city wall, the rebels who rushed out of the city were already fighting with the peaceful rebel soldiers. Some nobles wore armor passed down from their ancestors and held gorgeous sabers to attack the waiting soldiers.
Counter-rebel soldiers rushed over.
These dudes had no idea what a battlefield was. They had no formation at all, but rushed up in a chaotic swarm. Most of them were holding weapons such as swords, and only a few of them were holding firearms.
.
Looking at these strangely dressed people, the counter-rebellion officers commanding on the front line also looked strange, but this did not affect their killing. After these weirdos entered the rifle range, the officers shouted: Fire.
Following the officers' orders, the counter-rebel soldiers who had been waiting for a long time pulled the triggers one after another. With the sound of gunshots, the rebels were knocked to the ground one by one.
After three bursts of gunfire, the dandy boys who were still alive looked at each other, then shouted, threw away the weapons in their hands, turned around and ran away. Some people wearing armor quickly took off their armor and threw it away. The armor of their ancestors was
