1575 The storm moves north
The situation in the Far East has been reversed, the core of the storm has begun to shift, Vladivostok is no longer the most dangerous place, and the line of fire has begun to move north and go straight to Heilongjiang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In fact, there has been no name for the Amur River since ancient times, which is a transliteration of Heilongjiang after the Russian expedition came here.
Heilongjiang was called black water in ancient times, not because of serious pollution, but because both sides of this river have very fertile humus, which is commonly known as black soil, so the river is as black as ink against the background of the black soil on both banks, and the ancients believed that there was a black dragon living here, so it was called Heilongjiang or Heishui River.
In Russian, the pronunciation of Heishui is Amur, so the river is marked as the Amur River on the Russian map, of course, at that time it was only the words of the Tsarist side, and the maps of various countries still used the official name of the Qing Dynasty.
It was not until after the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing that all the territory was ceded to Tsarist Russia from the confluence of the Ussuri River into the Heilongjiang River to the mouth of the sea, and from then on the lower reaches of the Ussuri River estuary could no longer bear the name Heilongjiang, and was renamed the Amur River on the map of the world.
A great river records the 200-year dispute between the two peoples, where wars, negotiations, and intrigues are staged, and finally a Chinese inland river becomes China's boundary river.
Sister Wu's actions changed the general situation in the Far East, and Xiang Shaolong and Xiao Letian put the blockade on the body of the Fog Hidden Imp, and they firmly believed that the Fog Hidden Ghost's actions would be victorious.
Of course, this is also a helpless choice, because if the Wuyin Imp mutiny fails, and 30,000 Cossacks come from the hinterland of the Qing Kingdom and join the vanguard under the city of Vladivostok, then Xiao Letian must admit that the current volunteer army can't beat them at all.
Therefore, regardless of whether the 20,000 main forces are in Vladivostok or not, as long as the Cossacks are united, then the result is doomed to failure, since staying behind is a dead end, then we should gamble on the national fortune, in case Sister Wu and they succeed, then the Amur River will become a natural barrier.
Blocking 30,000 Cossack reinforcements, leaving more than 10,000 cavalry of Gogol and Fumanov is the turtle in the urn, and you can play as much as you want when the time comes.
It was a race against time, the war in Vladivostok was still raging, and Gogol and Fumanov tried everything to break through the Chinese positions, but they underestimated the power of the Chinese artillery and the speed of the construction of the engineers.
The defensive line was lengthening and thickening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the artillery groups behind the positions seemed to have endless ammunition, and under the guidance of the hot air balloons in the sky, they slaughtered the tired Cossacks in pieces.
On the sea, the fleet of Tsarist Russia has become a frightened rat, and several successive breakthrough failures and the sinking of the flagship have broken their backbones, and at this moment no one has the luxury of breaking through the bombs.
What worries Tsarist Russia even more is that the Chinese have a strong maritime capacity, and the sea is full of ships transporting supplies day and night, and the smell of meat wafting from the Chinese positions every day almost drives this group of Cossacks crazy.
The Chinese fought too stubbornly, and the samurai from Fusang were even more crazy, and at the most critical moments of the position several times, these madmen armed with too knives actually dared to launch counterattacks in the direction of the war horse assault, saving the crisis on the position several times.
"Wait, when the Legion Commander arrives, we will trample you to death......" Gogol swore countless times.
Cruel words could not change the tide of the battle, and the two Cossack division commanders did not know that at this moment there were three teams desperately moving north to north.
The fleet led by Xiao Lotian and Xiang Shaolong sailed north from the Sea of Japan to the mouth of the Amur River, where they would take to the ice and forcibly march to occupy all the crossings.
General Hunchun and the Misty Imp went all the way north from Ningguta, taking a shortcut and heading straight for the border fortress of Aihui City, where a confrontation with Tepuxin was brewing.
In the mountains and forests to the west of Ningguta, the five cavalry units scattered have been disguised as the most common caravans, beards, and horse bandits outside the pass, and the scattered targets are directly aimed at Qiqihar.
"Hurry up, speed up! I must let Lao Tzu and I see Qiqihar City within four days!" Vice General Lin roared, boosting the morale of the soldiers.
"This raid can only succeed and not fail! Each person who survived afterwards will be 3,000 taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the third level! Don't be afraid of those who die in battle, 10,000 taels of pension will definitely not be able to run away from you, and your father and mother will be raised by the General's Mansion for you!"
"Brothers, when you leave, your benefactor has also explained it! Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, even if you repay your kindness, you have to sell your strength this time, right?"
"What the adults didn't say! Don't talk about selling your strength! Brother, these more than 200 catties of flesh and blood will be sold to you today! Kill ......."
The rumbling mountains were full of the sound of running horses' hooves, and the Orion mountain people in the distance were frightened and avoided one after another, saying in their hearts that this is where the locks are doing a big deal! Are you going to break down someone's house? Or are you looking for a personal vendetta? Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, hurry home.
To the west, to the west, to the west! There is a time limit for eating on horseback, napping on horseback, pooping and peeing, and there is no sleep for four whole days, Lao Lin has never been so tired in his life, but he has never been so full in this life.
Man, what a creature in need of ideal motivation, the days of eating and waiting for death seem to be enjoyable, but there is a wild fire burning in anyone's heart, and once there is a chance, it will turn into a raging fire.
Fifteen hundred cavalry, bypassing the pass, crossing the mountains, walking on the frozen river, trampling on the snow-covered farmland, although there are many suspicious people along the way, but there are many bandits outside the pass, this kind of scene is not unseen, countless soldiers at the checkpoint think that the big shopkeeper wants to do business.
"It's none of our business! Drink and sleep! Anyway, no matter how big the locks are, they don't dare to do anything to us as soldiers, and the stinky people love to die!"
That's it, until Lao Lin saw the city wall of Qiqihar, the defenders in the city didn't know that such a group of 'bandits' were killing them, and they didn't even know that there were 1,500 cavalry.
Lao Lin, who was hiding in the woods, was panting, and he took out a telescope with body temperature from his arms to carefully look at Qiqihar, who had not been here for more than two years, but found that nothing had changed.
The tofu stall at the city gate is still there, and the proprietress is still so big, it's really gluttonous! When the thing is done, you must have been there!"
"The defenders of the city are a sentry...... ! They are like cartilaginous shrimps, and they are still chatting? There is a soldier who looks like a soldier? The tax collector at the city gate ......."
"Hey, hey, isn't that the king's eight calves! This kid is still making a fortune here? hehehe...... It's easy to get into this city with him!"
