Chapter seven hundred and ninety eight: empty camp
.Submerge. There are too many people who die. When Peter said this, he was discouraged: he thought about it and had made a wish to create an extraordinary empire. On this basis, the Russians should extend their tentacles to the Black Sea and to Europe, but now, their ambitions have long been turned into ashes, replaced by endless desolation.
Peace talks are different from surrender. Peace talks are somewhat proactive. Once they surrender, the entire Moscow and even Russia will be completely under the butcher knife of the Ming Dynasty. However, there is not much difference between Moscow and being under the screen. Peter understands that if you continue to resist, the Ming army, who is leisurely outside the city, will not take any measures to attack the city. However, under the continuous bombardment of artillery fire, the Moscow people will suffer in the artillery. Until all the buildings are destroyed, and then there is no food, artillery fire, plague, and food in the city is a tool for massacre. Once you reach that stage, everyone may not be spared. Since that is the case, you should surrender.
Peter's order was quickly executed. Just in case, the news was not revealed. Only a few people knew it. At night, a minister representing Peter hurried out of Moscow. The walls of Moscow had long been turned into broken walls, but they were all collapsed stones and broken soil. The envoy did not need to respond and climbed out of the loophole. Because it was a secret mission, the envoy tiptoed out specifically at night, which was no different from being a thief.
Li Dingguo was not surprised by the Russians' visit. In fact, the Ming army's artillery bombardment on Moscow was not only caused harm to the city, but also the greater purpose was to disintegrate the Russians' resistance in the city. Under such artillery bombardment, Moscow can be regarded as the first city in the history of war to be saturated. During this period, people obviously did not have much measures to resist the bombardment of artillery. For such powerful and unknown tactics, the Moscow people probably won't last long.
They would come to ask for surrender. Li Dingguo was very confident in this because the Moscows in the city had only two options, one was to surrender, and the other was to be all finished.
"grown ups.
The envoy lowered his head humbly, so that even the Russian-speaking official dared not look directly at him.
"Um!" Li Dingguo, who was used to this kind of humble face, did not put on airs and surrender now? Why did he go? At first, thousands of soldiers died in order to attack the city. Such a large casualty was a great loss for the Ming army. If he did not give a little color, he, the chief of staff, could not explain to his subordinates. After all, all the legions were injured, and the soldiers who were killed and injured had close comrades in each legion. The anger of the entire army had been aroused. It would probably be dissatisfaction if he let the Moscows in the city so easily let go of the Moscows in the city.
"Go back and tell the Tsar. It's okay to surrender, but you have to wait a while, ten days, and another ten days. If you can survive ten days, you must not worry about danger." Li Dingguo said in a very calm tone. But these words were amused and crying to the envoys from Moscow. Can surrender be? But there will be another ten days of bombing? I guess there has never been such a clause on surrender? But soon, he became worried. It's easy to insist on ten days of talks and easy. Not to mention how much casualties the ten days of bombing would cause, even if it's plague and food storage, I'm afraid I can't survive. He opened his mouth to pray, but Li Dingguo gave him a chance. He raised his hand and a few thick personal soldiers stood in front of the envoy and took him out like an eagle catching a chicken.
When the poor messenger returned to Krem Palace in a dirt to report to Peter, Peter, who had been waiting for the news here, and some close ministers who were close to him, listened to the envoy's statement. After insisting on it for ten days, how many people would die?
Peter was calm. He expected that the Han people would make the most harsh demands, even to embezzle all Russian territory, and he was mentally prepared. He understood that the Easterners were more enthusiastic about land than any country. Since they were defeated, in order to keep the Moscow people alive and prevent Russia from extermination of races. However, Peter did not expect that the Easterners outside the city were not very interested in surrendering, and the conditions proposed by Li Dingguo were absolutely harsh. If they were not told ten days, even three days, Moscow City might not be able to stand it. The ministers were panting, and no one dared to speak. They were already lambs to be slaughtered. What else can they do?
"Then, hold on." Peter's words were mixed with a lot of bitterness.
,,
Schehoski stood on the urn at the top of the tower beside the walls of Kanosburg. In the past few days, he had hardly closed his eyes. He was always afraid that the Ming army outside the city would attack the fortress. He was now half a frightened bird. The dragon cavalry outside the city had already made trouble, which would immediately cause his uneasiness. Fortunately, the Ming army outside the city camped more than ten miles away, and except for occasionally sending some scouts, he had no intention of siege.
What were they going to do? Schehosky felt more and more uneasy. The enemy's behavior was so abnormal. The more this happened, the more it made Schehosky feel a little conspiring. Today's situation was normal. Schehosky looked at it for a while and then breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Pinwubai would do something, and the Ming army would suddenly attack the fortress. Only he knew best that the fortifications of a castle had been abandoned, and there was not much gunpowder in the castle. If the Ming army really wanted to attack, he would not have an absolute chance of winning. And once he surrounded the castle, there would be insufficient food in the city and he would not be able to hold on.
Schehosky went down the tower with a tired look on his face. He was in a bad mood and exhausted these days. He had not slept well for a long time. At this time, when he saw that the Ming army had no abnormal movements as usual, Schehosky, who relaxed, decided to take a nap first.
This time, he slept until dawn the next day. It was not until a panicked guard came to knock on the door that Schehosky got out of the haze. He was in a bad mood and had a rare sleep. But he was awakened by someone. He was wearing a shirt and shouting in the house: "Who is it?"
Report Report The general soldier was obviously startled by the general's bad temper and stammered outside the door: "General Karoki came from Voltaire Castle with his garrison, and there were several garrison generals.
Here comes? Schehosky jumped up from the bed. At this moment, he was in a very good mood. His reinforcements finally arrived one after another, as if he had received a reassurance. Schehosky even blew a small song and opened the door. His brows frowned again. There were Ming troops not far from the city. How should these rebels enter the city? This is a big trouble. Once the Ming army attacked the Russians who had not entered the city outside the city, it would be a bad idea. He hurriedly said, "Let's go and have a look with me."
More than 20,000 Russian rebels had gathered outside the castle. They came from all over the place and finally gathered together. They advanced toward this place, which made Schehosky feel relieved. The Ming army camp in the distance seemed to have not seen this group of Russians who were coming, and even scouts were too lazy to send them out. There was no reaction at all.
Open the fort gate and let them do it. The wind cavalry was ready. Schehosky made repeated orders. He specially asked the wind cavalry to prepare. If the Ming army had any action, he could only let the wind cavalry leave the fort to prevent delaying time.
The fort gate slowly opened, and more than 20,000 Russian rebels rushed in. Schekhosky continued to stare at the Ming army's barracks with his telescope until everyone entered the castle. The fort gate slowly closed, and then he truly felt relieved.
What Schehosky didn't know was that outside the city, the Dragoon Governor Bai Cheng also looked here with a telescope. He sneered a little on the corner of his mouth, and then handed the telescope to the personal soldiers behind him, and ordered: "I will pass on the order of this governor and the Russians to enter the fort, and they will not be allowed to enter."
"As a sir, Lan Guan, was full of doubts. Taking advantage of the big gate of the fortress, if the dragon cavalry was dispatched, they would definitely be able to break up the Poles and Russians in one fell swoop, and directly occupy Kapiao Astronomy, saving countless troubles
The officer pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he immediately sent an order.
In the next few days, the rebels arrived here one after another, and then entered the Kapiao Astronomy to kill all the possible, but soon he gave up the idea of seizing troops to defend and supporting each other, because once a soldier was stationed outside the fort, with the strength of the dragon cavalry, he might immediately break it. If he was stationed in a nearby castle, Russia was vast and sparsely populated, and the distance between the fortress and the town was too far apart, so it would be impossible to support each other. In desperation, Schehosky had to give up this idea.
Six days later, almost all the reinforcements had arrived in the small castle of Kanosburg, and actually gathered 60,000 to 70,000 troops, which made Schehosky more confident, but his troubles came again. The reinforcements did not bring much food, after all, it was a hasty rescue. The rebels naturally could not collect so much food for a while, and everyone had a pound. They thought that there was a large amount of food in Kanosburg, so most of them came in a simple way. However, Kanosburg had not had much food in stock, but now there were so many more mouths, so they naturally became even more nervous.
The food was only enough for four days, and the Ming army obviously had no intention of attacking. Schehosky had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare for the decisive battle. If he delayed it, it would be impossible to fight the decisive battle when the food ended.
Early in the morning of the next day, teams of rebels came out of the castle and started to line up. In fact, Schehosky had experienced this scene twice. This was his second time facing the Dragoons. Unlike the first time, his arrogance had long been eliminated. At this time, he seemed very nervous. After all, he had the experience of the previous time. If he had not had a longer memory, I'm afraid Schehosky would be really an idiot.
Therefore, in order to deal with the Dragoon, he made some modifications to the formation. The spear team was transferred to the back, and the musketeers were placed in the front. The Wind Cavalry still had both wings on the obituary, but they did not ask for their mission to be defensive, rather than going to the wingers.
The two brigades of Box Yang showed strong combat power as soon as they joined forces. Those soldiers who grew up on the grassland like Suhe and touched bows and arrows as toys since childhood were trained to make them work together and they were invincible.
The Resistance Army had set up its formation, and what to wait for now was the Ming army camp in the distance to react. However, soon Schekhosky was a little depressed, because the Ming army camp seemed to have no movement, and even the two sentries in the front of the camp did not appear. This was a dilemma. He was in a complete tortoise formation, specially used for defense, just waiting for the dragon cavalry to attack, but the dragon cavalry did not come out. What could he do? He waited until noon, and the dragon cavalry seemed too lazy to pay attention to them, and there was no attack at all.
In desperation, Schehosky had to order back to the fort, but he was not so crazy that he asked these mobs to take the initiative to attack the Dragoon's camp. According to his understanding of the strength of the Dragoon, this was no different from dying.
On the second day of work, Schehosky continued to order out of the city to provoke, just like the first day. The dragon cavalry could not retreat.
On the third day, still so.
On the fourth day, the food in the fort was almost wiped out. If this continues, there is no need for the Ming army to attack, and all 70,000 to 80,000 people will starve to death in this small castle. Schehosky was completely anxious and had to jump over the wall if he was anxious. At this point, if the decisive battle is not carried out, it means that countless more starved corpses will appear in the castle. Schehosky gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
Early in the morning, the rebels set up the formations set up in the castle three days ago. As Schehosky expected, the Dragoons still had no intention of attacking. After two kilograms and hour passed, Schehosky issued an order: "The wind cavalry attacked. Attack the camp of the Easterners, everyone obeyed my orders and advanced."
He planned to attack, and defended here to die, so why not fight. This is Schehosky's idea. He had to do so much. Even though he knew that there were countless evil wolves waiting for them, he could only give this order with a tough bullet.
kill.
Ula”.
The wind cavalry galloped in front, and tens of thousands of infantry soldiers behind them then covered and left, shouting and killing endlessly, allowing Schehosky, who was behind the team to regain a lot of confidence.
The wind cavalry drew their sabers, and behind them were dense infantrymen, as if they were their powerful backers, which doubled their courage. The cold light of the sabers shone brightly in the sun, and the barracks in the distance became bigger and bigger, and finally showed their outlines.
"Kill". They used the back of the knife to twitch the horse's buttocks, and shouted in vainly. However, what puzzled them was that there was still no movement in the Ming army's camp, which made them feel very puzzled. Immediately, they threw this doubt behind them, and ignored them, and killed them.
Tatta The horse hooves of thousands of war horses are getting faster and faster. Finally, the cavalry that charges in front finally arrives at the barracks and rushes in. He holds the saber tightly, looks around vigilantly, and prepares to meet the first enemy nervously, but
The cavalry stopped and rushed into the camp. More and more cavalrymen were rushing into the camp. They all looked the same, first nervous, then confused, and finally at a loss.
empty camp,
Except for the camp as usual, there was no one inhabited, just like a ghost. Yesterday they saw that there were often a few sentries coming in and out here lazily. There were guards standing on the Fence's watchtower, but today, all of them disappeared, not a catty, and there was no one. What was going on?
The infantry behind them came to kill. They were already well prepared, some were ready to kill the enemy, and some were ready to sacrifice. Everyone was tense, but when they arrived here, they found nothing. The enemy they thought they were going to face had never appeared.
"What's going on? Schehosky finally arrived.
"General, look at a wind cavalry officer who is holding his horse over.
Schehosky was completely confused. Where did the Ming army go? Where were the dragoons? Did they all run away? This was impossible, they would not leave. Schehosky knew this very well, but how should he explain what he saw now? He suddenly had an unknown premonition, and seemed to have captured something. Then he shouted: "Retreat, retreat, all retreat to the castle, hurry!"
This order was too late. A mile behind the camp, the horses had already set up their charge formations, and then the sound of war drums rang out like raindrops. Before the rebels could react from their doubts, the horses had already escaped. At the same time, even louder shouts of killing echoed in the sky.,
Chapter completed!
