This time, Russia sent four cavalry troops to the Far East, namely 100,000 Cossack cavalry. When the Far East Governor Muravyov invaded China, there were also 100,000 Cossack cavalry among the 250,000 troops led by the 100,000 Cossack cavalry. However, all the 100,000 Cossack cavalry were killed, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow for Russia. Even if the Russian Army had the highest standing troops in the world, the loss of so many troops at once was enough to make Russia hurt. What's more, the loss of so many Cossack cavalry was still Russia's most elite troops. Even in the Russian Army, the total strength of the Cossack cavalry was only 300,000.

This time, 100,000 Cossack cavalry was sent to the expeditionary force again, leaving only 100,000 Cossack cavalry left in Russia on other fronts. For this reason, Tsar Nicholas I had to recruit those Cossacks to join the Russian cavalry again. The scale of the conscript reached 200,000, accounting for one-fifth of the newly recruited troops of the Russian army this time.

"Okay, let him send two armies of Cossack cavalry to East and West Siberia to stabilize the situation there first! However, try to avoid a great war with the Chinese Empire before the main force arrives." Tsar Nicholas I said. The previous battles have proved that although the Russian Cossack cavalry is powerful, in terms of combat power, they are not an opponent of the Chinese Army. Especially when attacking the defense line of the Chinese Army, they cannot win. For this reason, Tsar Nicholas I did not want such a thing to happen again.

"Yes, your majesty!" The Russian commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Duke Gorchakov, nodded.

The Cossack cavalry, which was terrifying in Europe, suffered a heavy blow in the Far East. This was a heavy blow to Russia. The great reputation of the Cossack cavalry was ruined this time. However, the Russians did not think that this was the reason why the Cossack cavalry was inferior to that of humans. They attributed the failure of the Cossack cavalry to the weather and the cunning and shamelessness of the Chinese Empire's army. The main advantage of the cavalry lies in mobility and impact, and used cavalry to attack the city walls defended by heavy troops. That was originally seeking death. In addition, the sudden descent weather was also the main reason for the heavy losses of the Cossack cavalry. At that time, Emperor Napoleon led an army of 600,000 to attack Russia. Wasn't it because of the cold winter? Therefore, Russia believed that after learning from the last lesson this time, the Cossack cavalry would definitely not fail again.

After the orders of Tsar Nicholas I were issued, I was ready to integrate the troops mobilized by Eastern and Western Siberia to defend against the attack of the Chinese Empire. Although the troops that were armed in a hurry would not have much combat effectiveness, if they were used to defend cities, they should be able to restrain the army of the Chinese Empire and delay the arrival of the subsequent main forces. The Russian Cossack cavalry could take the opportunity to launch an attack on weak places in the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire. However,

This time, the Chinese Empire also built a powerful cavalry unit. Among the six cavalry armies, except for two of them used in the Northwest battlefield, the other four will be invested in the East and West Siberian battlefield. A total of 140,000 cavalry is not less than the Cossack cavalry in the Russian Expeditionary Force. On the contrary, nearly half of them are more. In terms of weapons and equipment, the imperial cavalry also has a completely advantage. In this way, the Russian Cossack cavalry no longer has any advantages.

After receiving the order from Tsar Nicholas I, left-behind personnel from the Far East Governor's Office in Irkutsk, East Siberia, immediately began to mobilize adult men to join the army in East Siberia. They told the Russians that if they did not join the army, once the Imperial Chinese army captured East Siberia, they would all be killed by the cruel Chinese soldiers, their wives and daughters would be insulted, and then sold to prostitutes. Their property would also be plundered. Under the propaganda of the Russian Far East government, countless Russians joined the army. From the age of sixty to the teenagers, they all demanded that they could join the army and defend their country.

The Russians are worthy of being a fighting race, and fighting is as if they were their nature. However, these Russians were only enthusiastic. Although almost 200,000 men were summoned to the time, they did not have enough weapons to arm these people. The 200,000 new soldiers were reorganized into the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Army of the Far East Army. However, only the 1st Army was equipped with advanced breech rifles, while the 2nd Army was only equipped with old-fashioned breech rifles left by the Russian * army. The other two armies were only equipped with simple cold weapons, and some even used farm tools to fight. It was harder to use such an army to resist the advancement of the imperial army.

On March 27, the imperial army began to set off from the north and prepared to cross the desert to the northern desert grassland. This time, the troops set out include the 1st and 2nd Army of the Imperial Cavalry. In addition, the 5th and 6th Army of the Cavalry will be formed in the northern desert grassland. The troops will be composed of soldiers prepared by the Mongolian troops of the northern desert. In terms of infantry, the 1st Army, the 2nd Army, the 3rd Army, the 4th Army, the 5th Army, the 8th Army, the 14th Army, the 17th Army, the 19th Army, the 20th Army, the 26th Army and the 27th Army.

In addition, the General Staff of the Imperial General Staff will also host four armies in the north of the Empire to serve as a reserve for the battlefields of East and West Siberia. These four armies include the 6th Army, 9th Army, 21st Army and 22nd Army of the Imperial Army. It is not that the Empire does not want to send more troops to East and West Siberia to ensure the outbreak of the war. It is because of the constraints of logistics factors that ensure the logistics supply of these hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefields of East and West Siberia. The Logistics Department has become a group. If more than 100,000 troops are sent, the logistics supply line is very likely to collapse.

Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked north. In order to conduct unified dispatch, the Minister of Operations Lieutenant General Sun Hao personally rushed to the northern front line, preparing to take charge of Kulun to command the battle and dispatch logistics supplies. The logistics supplies of the northern army will first be transported to Tianjin by ships, and then transported to the Mongolian grassland in Tianjin by mules and horses. This thousands of kilometers of distance made the empire have to prepare a transport team of millions of people in order to ensure the combat of the troops in East and West Siberia. Otherwise, the logistics supply line may be broken.

The imperial army headed north and was welcomed by the Mongolian tribes along the way. Many Mongolian tribes took the initiative to organize people to lead the way for the imperial army, or help transport war materials, etc. Some tribes also specially organized guards to protect the transport teams passing by the grasslands to avoid the transport teams being attacked by wild beasts or enemies on the grasslands. The Mongolian grasslands are vast and boundless. If the cavalry of the empire enters the grasslands, this will undoubtedly cause a fatal blow to the God-Er Transport Team running on the transportation line.

The 1st and 2nd Army of the Imperial Cavalry, as the vanguard of the army, set out first. The cavalry troops were very fast, and in just half a month, they arrived in Kulun. When the Imperial Cavalry arrived, the four major tribes in the Mobei Grassland also publicly admitted that the Mongolian tribes in the Mobei had surrendered to the Chinese Empire, and recruited a large number of young, strong and family imperial cavalry from the four major tribes. The 5th and 6th Army of the Imperial Cavalry were quickly formed. These Mongols were all born cavalry. As long as they were taught how to use rifles and other weapons, they could become qualified imperial cavalry. The whole time would not exceed one month.

On April 15, 1847, Major General Senggelinqin, the commander of the Imperial Cavalry, and Major General Qiao Moyan, led two cavalry to the border between the Empire and Russia. The once prosperous market is now deserted. Last year, when the Russian Far East Governor Muravyov led his army to invade the Empire, the soldiers robbed the city of trade. Almost all the Chinese here were killed, and no one dared to come here to do business anymore.

The trade city was not only well known to the people of the Qing and Russia, but also famous all over the world. It is known by the West as "Venice in the Desert". The trade city played an important role in activateing the economic life of the Qing and Russia. In 1727 (the fifth year of Yongzheng), the Qing and Russia signed the Treaty of Brenschi (also known as the Treaty of Chaktu), and the Qing and Russia traded. According to the treaty provisions, the two countries took the Chaktu River as the boundary, and Chaktu, Hebei, was assigned to Russia. The Qing Dynasty built a new town in Henan. As a trading place for the Qing and Russia, the Han people in the Qing Dynasty called this newly built town a "trading city".

The Making and Selling City is a rectangular city, 640 meters long and 366 meters wide. It is built with wood and has four gates around it. The north gate is opposite to the south gate of Chaktu, and is only 130 meters away. There are towers built above the city gate and soldiers are guarded. The Making and Selling City has the pure style of the Qing Dynasty. There are two main streets in the city, with crosses running across it, and the streets extending in a straight line, with courtyards distributed on both sides. By the end of the 1860s, more than 200 houses had been built here and there were two temples.

The trade city was an important city for trade between China and Russia. In 1800, the trade volume reached 8.4 million rubles. By the mid-19th century, the trade volume here reached 16 million rubles, which was about 8 million taels of silver.

To the north of the city of Making and Selling is the Chaktu of Russia.

"Order the 1st Cavalry Brigade to cross the Chaktu River and within half an hour, be sure to capture there!" Major General Senggelinqin issued a combat order.

More than 6,000 cavalrymen from the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Empire began to ride horses across the border between China and Russia and launched an attack on Chikto. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
