"In this case, I think we should go to Königsberg. Maybe you will think that I am crazy, but I am very clear-headed. Now the vicinity of Königsberg has become a big battlefield. Although our army is smaller than the Prussian and Russian armies,
The country's army of more than ten thousand seems weak, but our army is all cavalry, and our greatest advantage is that they come and go like the wind. Therefore, I believe that as long as our army takes advantage of mobility and speed, then we can survive in such a chaotic situation.
We can do it with ease, and sir, I believe that as long as we can get in touch with the Russians, the Russian army will definitely support us."
After Plivsky finished speaking, he looked at Kleiman with some pride. Although his words undoubtedly made sense, Kleiman believed that the situation was not as easy as Plivsky said.
You must know that there is a roadblock on their way to Königsberg. The Prussians have three thousand troops there. If they want to enter Königsberg, they must defeat this Prussian army.
Some people may want to say that the Cossack cavalry can completely abandon the Prussian army and ignore it, and the whole army can take advantage of the cavalry and take a detour into the Königsberg area.
If this person stood in front of Kleiman, Kleiman would definitely poke his nose at him. If the entire army of 3,000 Prussians on the opposite side advanced quickly, they could indeed enter Königsberg before the Prussians could react.
.
But in that case, the Cossacks would be in an extremely dangerous situation. When the Cossacks entered the Königsberg area, they would face a total of 30,000 Prussian troops. Under such circumstances, the Prussian troops would definitely allocate their forces to stop Kleiman.
Once the Cossacks were blocked from advancing, the 3,000 Prussian troops that had been thrown away at the beginning could move to the rear of the Cossacks.
The battlefield is so big in total, and there is no room for strategic maneuvering. Once the Cossacks are blocked in Königsberg, and the three thousand Prussian troops follow behind them, even if the Cossack cavalry can break through, they will definitely be attacked.
A huge trauma, most likely out of 10. Under such circumstances, can you expect Clayman to take such a big risk? These Cossacks are Clayman's last hope.
Pliski watched Kleiman's face change, and he secretly despised him. Of course, he was very clear about Kleiman's little thoughts, but now this situation was the moment when he had to make a decision.
Of course, Plivsky knew how much damage the Cossack cavalry would suffer when marching into Königsberg. You must know that many of this army are from Plivsky's own tribe, but Plivsky can no longer take care of so many.
Yes, if they wait until the Prussian army defeats the Russian army, then their Cossack cavalry will not be able to run away, and they will definitely be eaten up by the Prussian army who have come to their senses.
There is only one way in front of him, and that is to go to Königsberg to get in touch with the Russian army. Pliski believes that the Russian army will be very interested in the Cossack cavalry in his hands.
With all the army lost, Plivsky could rely on the Russians. In other words, Plivsky wanted to use this Cossack cavalry as his own stepping stone.
"Sir Kleiman, there is only one way in front of us now. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If you don't make up your mind early, maybe we will be wiped out by the time the Prussian army comes to their senses. The Prussian army hates you very much.
"
Seeing that Kleiman was still hesitating, Pliski just continued to persuade, and after speaking, his words were already full of threats.
Kleiman was shocked when he heard this. Indeed, if the Prussians knew that he was not dead, no matter where he ran, the Prussians would definitely kill him.
Thinking of this, Kleiman turned around a few times. Finally, he stood facing Plivsky and continued:
"Chief Plivsky, please go and assemble the army immediately. I will temporarily hand over the command of the other armies to you. I hope you will live up to my hope and destroy the enemies blocking our way. If you cannot break through the enemy's defense lines in five days,
"Military Disposal"
After speaking, Kleiman waved his hand and asked Plivsky to go down. Seeing this, Plivsky agreed loudly and then left the tent in a hurry.
But what Pliski didn't see was the look that Kleiman cast at him from behind. It was really a helpless move for Kleiman to hand over the command of the army to Pliski. Everyone knew that, even if he looked like he was
The supreme commander of this Cossack cavalry, but the command power is in the hands of Plivsky. Without Plivsky's consent, Kleiman would not be able to command a Cossack cavalry.
Under such circumstances, how can Kleiman not be resentful or even resentful? It would be best if Pliski could quickly eliminate the Prussian army blocking the road. If he could not complete the task within the specified time limit, he would even be defeated by the Prussian army.
, then Kleiman can use his righteousness to take back the military power in Pliski's hands, and that wouldn't be too bad.
How could Plivsky not see Kleiman's plan of killing two birds with one stone, but Plivsky didn't care, because Plivsky firmly believed that with the Cossack cavalry in hand, he could completely defeat the Prussian army on the opposite side.
He couldn't find it. What's more, even if he couldn't complete the task, what could Kleiman do to him? Kleiman wanted to take back the military power, but could the military power be taken away at will? It can be said that this Cossack cavalry has been
Plivski has subdued him. If Kleiman dares to take action, Plivski will definitely let him know what a puppet means.
Soon the Cossack cavalry scattered throughout the city of Bialystok gathered. Except for some Cossacks who were wandering around as scouts, the remaining Cossacks were all here.
Looking at the cavalry in the city, Pliski had no doubt that the Prussian troops would be stunned by him, because when the Cossack cavalry had never been defeated by others with the same number.
Seeing that the cavalry were almost assembled, Pliski softly uttered two words: "Let's go"
Under his order, the Cossacks filed out and headed towards the small town of Bern.
In fact, even if the Cossacks did not come to Bern, Blücher planned to find these Cossacks, because Blücher knew that he was the only one who could gain a foothold in the Prussian army after he had offended Ferdinand.
The way was to achieve a brilliant victory, and if the Cossacks were torturing themselves, Blücher would personally come and break their shells.
Of course, Blücher's plan to smash the turtle shell was aborted because the Cossacks sent out troops. The smoke and dust in the sky and the sound of tens of thousands of horse hooves beating on the ground made it impossible to hide the Cossacks' traces no matter what.
When we were still thirty miles away from Bern, the whereabouts of the Cossacks were already exposed.
The Prussian bugle sounded immediately in the small town of Bourne. Countless Prussian soldiers rushed out of their tents or houses. The soldiers rushed to the entrance of the town in panic under the command of the officers.
They formed a defensive formation there. At the same time, the artillerymen hurriedly pushed the artillery pieces out of the warehouse. A team of logistics soldiers immediately took out the artillery shells and piled them next to the artillery pieces.
Blücher picked up the telescope and looked over, but he couldn't see anything. There was only a large piece of smoke and dust in the telescope. When he saw this, Blücher suddenly became vigilant.
Logically speaking, thirty miles is not that far for the Cossack cavalry. They can cover this distance in more than an hour. However, until the Prussian army has completed its war preparations, the Russian army has not yet appeared. What on earth is going on?
What happened, Blücher became confused.
But just as Blücher raised his telescope to look, someone not far away was also looking at the Prussian formation with a telescope.
This man was Plivsky, and behind him were nearly two thousand Cossack cavalry. These cavalry were not riding on their horses but were standing on the ground quietly holding their horses.
I saw that the hoofs of the war horses were wrapped with a thick layer of linen, and the cages on the horses' heads were pulled as tight as possible. Some of the horses were very uncomfortable because of this, but with the comfort of the knights, nothing serious happened.
question.
The whole forest was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the most nervous among them was of course Pliski. He couldn't help but be nervous. If the Prussians saw through his plan, then the winning rate of this attack would be greatly reduced.
It may completely fail.
In fact, Plivsky's plan was indeed very simple. After he led the army out of the city, he divided the cavalry into two groups. One group was composed of hundreds of cavalry. The cavalry's horse tails were tied with branches.
, and they are also driving a group of horses. These horses are not worthy of being used as war horses, but bluffing is definitely enough.
The other wave consisted of nearly two thousand cavalry. When the two groups of cavalry separated, Pliski immediately ordered everyone to control their horses and try not to make any loud noises, and ordered the cavalry to tie their horses' hooves with flax.
live.
The Cossack cavalry, who have been fighting in the Eastern European steppes for many years, certainly know what Plivsky intends to do. They must know that tribes who raid the enemy on the grassland often use this move. By the time the enemy discovers it, it is already too late.
Therefore, many Cossack cavalry will carry these things in their small bags on their horses so that they can come in handy when needed.
Plivsky hoped that the hundreds of Cossack cavalry would create the appearance of a marching army, thus diverting the attention of the Prussians. Then he quietly sneaked up to the Prussians with nearly two thousand cavalrymen.
When the Prussians couldn't bear their doubts and wanted to find out, it was a good time for him to show off his power.
Fortunately, these Cossack cavalry are all masters of this kind. For the time being, Plivsky is very satisfied with the performance of both groups of cavalry. Now he is just waiting for the Prussian army to find a flaw.
