Chapter 197 The 90,000-strong army is actually here
"Ula, Ula,,,"
Seeing the imperial flag appear behind them, the Russian soldiers suddenly burst into loud cheers
Kutuzov also squinted his eyes, and the slightly trembling beard at the corner of his mouth showed how excited he was!
Naturally, the changes in the rear of the Russian army could not be hidden from anyone who was interested. Seeing the flags flying high and the loud sound of bugles coming from the rear of the Russian army, August trembled in his heart, and he thought of the worst thing.
August's feelings may not be as real as Jevsky's. Jevsky, who was already fighting among the Russian army, felt even more pressure after the sudden change in the Russian army. The Russian soldiers around him were like a tidal wave.
Thousands of people rushed towards him, and the slightest sign of collapse disappeared into nothingness.
Russian reinforcements are coming!
Looking to the left and right, Jewski found that most of his personal guards were dead and wounded, and nothing could be done. Thinking of this, Jewski took the remaining people and turned around and ran to the right without leaving the water.
Of course, even so, Jewski still ordered people to continue the attack. Jewski understood that if he retreated at this time, the Polish army would definitely collapse, and the price would not be something he could afford.
. So in order to minimize the losses, Jewski decided to let the Polish army in the front continue to attack, while the Polish army in the back that had not yet taken up its posture suspended the attack and waited for the situation to change.
It can be said that Jewski's idea is basically correct, but does he think that all the battlefields are idiots?
The troops under Jevsky's command were all composed of the original rebel troops. The leaders of the rebel army had the mentality of small citizens. Seeing Jevsky running away, they still wanted them to hold on. The Russian army's unusual movements were really shocking.
Don’t you know the reason?
So in this way, Jewski's flag to order the attack was completely a show-off. Some of the original rebel leaders and now Russian-Polish officers saw that the situation was not good, so they immediately retreated with their people.
This caused chaos in the Polish army. A part of the Polish army that was ordered to attack was blocked on the route by the troops who wanted to retreat, but those who retreated did not care. They ran back desperately.
, Under this exemplary role, it is inevitable for military morale to be turbulent.
"Idiot, come here, arrest those idiots who retreat without authorization. If there is any resistance, kill them on the spot!"
The murderous Jewski looked at those who retreated without permission and said to his guards, and then Jewski's guards rushed into the battlefield again and rushed towards the Polish officers who retreated without permission.
The right wing is restless, and neither is the left wing of the Polish army. Although Lipov is not a very good general, his good education and many years of military career make Lipov much stronger than those useless Polish nobles.
many.
Although the Polish army on the left was more elite than the army composed of rebels on the right, the offensive intensity of the Polish army on the left was completely inferior to that on the right.
Under such circumstances, Lipov even launched several counterattacks against his opponents, and the Polish nobles were also frightened by Lipov. This was simply a shame! August's teeth were so itchy that he almost wanted to bite them.
Death to those useless Polish nobles.
Not to mention the middle. Although Kulichkov is young, he is more experienced than most generals, and the battle with Yevitsky also smoothed some corners. There is no doubt that Kulich now
Kove has the makings of a famous general.
Seeing that nothing could be done, August gave the order to retreat.
But there are some things that you can't just do if you want to. At present, most of the Polish army is entangled with the Russian army. It is not so easy to retreat.
After seeing August's flag, Jevsky was shocked. But Kutuzov, who was opposite them, was happy.
"Immediately send someone to tell Marshal Potemkin that the enemy is about to run. Please Marshal, please outflank the enemy from both wings. Our army will try our best to hold the enemy back."
Kutuzov's words quickly reached Potemkin's ears. Although Potemkin did not understand the situation on the battlefield, Potemkin accepted Kutuzov's opinion out of trust in his subordinates.
.
"Come here, order the two generals Chuikovsky and Harlanf to lead their troops to outflank the battlefield from both sides. In addition, let General Harvin Rachel lead the cavalry troops to advance towards the enemy's rear. The enemy must be surrounded here.
"
Potemkin's order was naturally carried out without compromise. When he saw countless troops emerging from the rear of the Russian army and running toward his flanks. When his own army became a little confused due to the order to retreat, Austrian
Gust was shocked.
"The rear team changed to the front team and retreated immediately. I also ordered Yeweski to shrink the defense line. He transferred 10,000 people from the Chinese Army to Yeweski and told him to hold the defense line."
Having said this, August rode away, and as soon as he left, the Polish army's center naturally retreated slowly.
Seeing the Polish center retreating, Jewski on the right wing wanted to retreat as well, but he received August's order to stay behind.
"I'm the eighteenth generation of his ancestors. Russian reinforcements are coming. He wants me to be his scapegoat!"
A dissatisfied Jewski cursed
"Your Excellency General, since August abandoned us, why not surrender to the Russians!"
A dog-headed military advisor walked up to Yevitsky and whispered.
But what the dog-headed strategist didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Jewski gave him a riding crop.
"As God testifies, the Russians and I are mortal enemies. It is impossible for me to surrender to the Russians. Come on, please pull down and execute this traitor who has shaken the morale of the army!"
Saying that, regardless of the dog-headed military advisor's pleas, Jewski continued to stare at the battlefield.
The generals around Jewski looked at each other and then lowered their heads.
"The situation is over and nothing can be done. Hey! Pass my order and the entire army retreats!"
After Jewski's order was issued, the Polish army on the right also began to retreat.
But retreat was not easy. The Russians were very fierce. Although Jevski took advantage of the Russians' pursuit too close and the distance between some Russian troops was too large to launch a few small counterattacks, for the entire battlefield
Generally speaking, these are of no use.
When August, who was riding a horse, learned that Jewski had retreated despite his orders, his heart trembled, and then he seemed to fall from his horse. Fortunately, the guards around him helped him up in time.
"Jevski, Jewski, you ruined my big deal!"
August's roar seemed so unwilling.
But who made August never believe in Jevsky? If you don’t trust others and still expect them to work for you, then you think everyone is a fool! August never believed in Jevsky from the beginning to the end.
Ski, everyone can see this, and now the consequences are showing.
The disorderly retreat of the Polish army allowed the Russian army to seize the opportunity
"Attack, attack everyone, hurry up and catch up with those Poles!"
Kutuzov's orders urging the Russian troops to attack never stopped, and after Potemkin's reinforcements joined the battle, Kutuzov became even more excited.
Under the pursuit of the Russian army, the Polish army was defeated and abandoned. This situation was especially obvious on the left wing of Poland. The nobles fled as early as August gave the order to retreat.
The Polish army was left without a command to endure the wind and rain on the battlefield.
The right wing retreated, and the situation on the entire battlefield was irreversible.
Countless Polish soldiers panicked like sheep driven by wolves. With the addition of fresh Russian troops, swaths of Polish troops were surrounded.
The entire battlefield generally calmed down until night, and the captured Polish soldiers sat dejectedly under the surveillance of the Russian army.
"Kutuzov, you have done well. I will report your achievements to Her Majesty the Queen."
As soon as he entered Kutuzov's tent, Potemkin smiled and praised him, and his compliment made Kutuzov smile. Of course, he still needed to be modest.
"Your Majesty, Marshal, this battle was won entirely under your command. If it hadn't been for your timely arrival, maybe I wouldn't have been able to hold on."
"Ha ha........"
Potemkin laughed out loud at Kutuzov's words. Of course, Kutuzov's words were indeed true.
If one side is laughing, of course the other side is crying.
August looked at the less than 20,000 troops gathered around him and couldn't help but have the urge to cry. Excluding Jewski's 30,000 troops, there were only 60,000 troops led by August.
There are less than 20,000 people, how can you embarrass August?
At the same time, August's opinion of Jewski became more and more serious, and Jewski was no different.
There are now only more than 10,000 people left under Jewski's command. Not only Jewski but also his generals believe that the failure of this battle was entirely caused by August's incompetence.
The army of ten thousand actually reached this point.
In the next few days, 30,000 reinforcements arrived at Jewski's headquarters. When the reinforcements arrived, August sent someone to ask for the command of the reinforcements. However, Jewski, who had always been loyal before, did not do so this time.
Agree to August's request.
This battle allowed Jewski to see August's poor command skills and the Polish army's unbearable combat effectiveness. How could he give all his chips to August?
August was furious after being rejected, but now because of the arrival of reinforcements, Jewski's troops had surpassed him. Although August later gathered many more troops, his men still
There are no more than 30,000 people.
Fortunately, the Russian army was busy resting and recuperating. Otherwise, August and Yevitsky would probably cry if they continued in a hurry.
