30,000 cavalry with nearly 60,000 horses, resting on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, the whole land is black and the pressure is endless, and the sunset is pressing on the western horizon to sprinkle the last afterglow on the earth. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The corps commander Fadeev and his three division commanders rode up to a high ground on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, and took up a telescope to look out on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

On the other side of the wide river was a hill and a dense forest, and the town could still be seen as if the fire could be seen at the end of the sight.

"The mountain on the other side of the river is called Anluo Mountain, the town at the foot of the mountain is Anluo Town, after this mountain Heilongjiang began to flow south, and then a day and a half away we can see the Qing Dynasty's Aihui City, which is the largest ferry on the Heilongjiang River......

Chekov, the commander of the 3rd Division, looked at the map and scolded in a low voice: "How nice it would be if there was a road on the opposite side, we will cross the river directly from here and kill to the rich hinterland of the Qing Kingdom, and the supply of the province is so difficult......"

Chekov's words resonated with everyone, looking back at the overwhelming army, although the momentum was amazing, everyone knew very well that the soldiers' physical strength had been squeezed to the limit, and now they insisted on it with a breath in their hearts.

Gogol and Fumanov took away the best equipment of the whole army, especially war horses and meat, while the 30,000 men behind could only march slowly while looting.

The war horses have no beans and eggs, and there is no nutritious alfalfa grass to eat, so how to feed these 60,000 war horses along the way is a difficult task.

Look at these hungry war horses in front of them, they can only arch the thin snow on the ground and greedily gnaw the grass below, but this amount of grass is simply not enough, and Fargiev even found that many soldiers are feeding their beloved war horses with their own rations.

Further north, several fire points appeared on the distant horizon, and they knew that the raiding cavalry had succeeded again, and this time at least four villages and towns had been sacked.

Fadeev didn't even need to see it with his own eyes, he could know that these soldiers would loot those villages and towns as quickly as possible, and not a single grain of food would be wasted, especially since the forage for war horses was more precious than the food eaten by people at this time.

"No, we have to expand the scope of looting! Four villages and towns are not enough at all, and the order must be looted tonight before we can advance to Aihui!"

The topic is really dull, Fadeev, they are not afraid of fighting, even if the gunpowder is exhausted, they are not afraid to fight with the saber in their hands, but they can't solve the problem of logistics and supply, it has nothing to do with your courage, nothing is nothing, you can't change it at all.

A guard cavalry beside him said indignantly: "Why don't you cross this big river and go to rob the prosperous south bank! Over there is the Qing country, and those Qing people are born to love to grow crops and save money! Robbing a village of them is fatter than robbing a tribe of Mongols!"

The commander of the Fourth Division, Ashavin, smiled bitterly and said, "Son, it's not that simple! Our destination is the Far East, our enemy is the Volunteers, and we can't offend these Qing people for the time being!"

"If we can't pass through their borders, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Vladivostok in another month and a half!"

The cavalry scratched his head: "Then why don't we cross the river now, since we are borrowing the road, why do we have to go downstream to borrow the road, from here, we can buy a lot of grain and horse feed with money!"

Fadeev looked at the young faces of the cavalry and sighed and said, "Son, fighting is not like that! 30,000 troops and 60,000 horses, if you want to march quickly, you can't take any road......

"On the other side is not a wide post road, but a continuous group of mountains, and there is nothing wrong with the march of small troops, so many men and horses, will you let them take the mountain road? When will we go to Vladivostok?

"Besides, the officials of the Qing State also have their considerations, and they will not let us go to the core hinterland for political reasons!"

"What are you afraid of them for? Who can stop us Cossacks?" muttered the soldier unconvinced.

"Hahaha...... Courage is very good, but resourcefulness is not enough at all! Fighting a war is not so simple, the territory of the Qing State is larger than our Tsarist Russia, and behind the border are mountains and rivers and rivers one after another, you can win ten times, but people can withstand a hundred defeats, but we only need to lose once and the whole army will be wiped out!"

Fadeev looked to the east and whispered, "Now we can only cooperate with the Qing people, we go east, only when we get to Aihui, we can get large-scale supplies! Those Qing officials are very greedy, and give them all the gold and antiques we have stolen from the grassland......

"I'm sure they'll give us enough food and fodder!" After that, we continued south, east to the mouth of the Songhua River or directly into the mouth of the Ussuri River, and down the ice south......

"When we enter the Far East, the end of this war will be sealed......! Hold on for another day and a half, and when we get to Aihui, our days will be better......"

Fargiev had no idea that a mutiny had broken out in Aihui City that was destined to shock the world, and that their fate would be reversed with this mutiny.

If there is no fire in Aihui City, people may think that this is a legendary dead city, without a trace of sound only the occasional monotonous dog barking, and the terrible screaming of owls.

There were no pedestrians on the streets, not even the watchmen, and people didn't know what time it was in the long dark night.

There were bonfires crackling at all the intersections, and the silent soldiers gathered around the campfires and did not dare to speak, as if there were some evil spirits around.

These soldiers who kept vigil to maintain order were all unlucky people who were drawn by lot, and no one in normal people wanted anything to do with the mutiny, and their own lives were more important than the party in power in the court.

In the middle of the intersection closest to the back door of the garrison mansion, there was a bonfire, and ten veterans were languishing alone, unaware that dozens of black shadows were sneaking towards them in the night.

Caught off guard, the ten veterans were suddenly knocked down by the black shadow behind them, and they just wanted to shout but their mouths were covered with death.

"Shut up! Shut up...... It's us!, damn it, open your eyes and take a good look!" the sneak attacker whispered.

The veteran was half relieved when he saw it, but he didn't expect that the sneak attack was actually an acquaintance, Tepuxin's cronies, the captain of the private guard, the white bear Puye, and there were still heavy figures approaching in the dark.

The veteran trembled and whispered, "Puye, I'm my own person, you veteran, please do this......!"

"Shut up, of course, to save my family...... You guys stay here well, don't let the rebels in the palace see the difference, it's a great achievement to cover us!"

"Understand, don't worry, the little one must be good!"
