Volume 1 Red Tide Chapter 576 Walking All the Way
"Butcher Willow?" Unable to control his emotions, Muravyyochi unbuttoned the collar of his clothes and said very anxiously: "Your Highness, why haven't you made a decision? Your position is too moderate!"
He said hatefully: "This is the best chance for the Russian Empire, and we will have a chance to take down the whole of Yellow Russia!"
Prince Constantine asked with some trepidation: "This is a difficult choice, if we lose, we will have nothing left and return to the territory that Peter the Great has laid down for us!"
A few minutes ago, Muravyyoch thought Prince Konstantin was too radical, but now he said with great emotion: "Send every Russian, every Cossack, every rifle and every bayonet, and we will pull every horse, every barrel of gunpowder, and even every woman, this is the most glorious page in Russian history!"
He patted Prince Konstantin on the shoulder and said: "We will form an absolute superiority in strength over the rebels, believe me...... Believe in God!"
"God willing."
Accompanied by Konstantin's words, the flow of vehicles and people continued to move southward, forming the strongest iron flow in Russia in the Far East.
************************************************************
Almost at the same moment, this main force of the First Army of the Rainbow Army had already crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass and walked in the corridor between Yujin.
The scenery inside and outside the customs is different, it is the height of summer, but the officers and soldiers can feel the chill of the northern country, and even the sky is a little gloomy, most of the officers come from the south of the Yangtze River or Anhui, Henan These areas with many places and few places, they are very surprised to look at this beautiful mountains and rivers.
If you are in the pass, you can see extremely dense villages, one after another, and there are always people in the field of vision. However, on the cold avenue, the villages are scarce, and even if one or two families can be found, they will not be seen in the homes of these people. I don't know where to start when I want to resupply supplies.
This is a completely new situation of warfare, and both officers and soldiers feel a deep loneliness in this strange northern country, not to mention the gloomy atmosphere in the sky.
"Your Majesty, the issue outside the gate should be left to me and Commander Qu!"
It was Zhou Xiuying, the commander of the cavalry army, who spoke, and she followed closely beside Liu Chang: "Just one Jinzhou, mobilizing two army commanders is already a big fuss, if you work Your Majesty to recruit it yourself." That's ridiculous!"
Liu Chang did not smile as usual, but looked at the north with a serious expression, this army may be a large army, but in the wilderness outside the pass, it looks very small, and it can only be said to be a few specks of dust in the wilderness.
The whole unit consisted of two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, attached to a number of artillery and cavalry units, if in the middle of the battle in the pass. These 7,400 warriors were a fairly effective force, and could even sweep through an entire province, but in the wilderness beyond this pass. Liu Chang felt a heavy pressure.
"Commander Zhou, this is my mission!"
Zhou Xiuying urged the war horse and said: "I know that this is the responsibility of Xina, who told him to send the second infantry regiment to Rehe!" But it's enough to have us, it's really enough, you can't trust me, can't you still believe in the first group? ”
The core of the whole army was not other units, but the first infantry regiment, which performed the most outstanding during the entire war, the famous "Dragon Lance Regiment", the starting unit of the Rainbow Army with the best equipment and the best soldiers. The best officer, the highest morale, so Qu Jie did not give up fighting with a little less troops.
But Zhou Xiuying clearly knew that this man was the top priority of the entire Hongjun: "Your Majesty, believe me!" You take two cavalry companies back to the city of Peking, and maybe you will run into the 2nd Infantry Regiment from Rehe on the way. ”
Speaking of which, the 2nd Infantry Regiment moved to Rehe. This is the most annoying thing for Zhou Xiuying, in view of the tense situation in Rehe, he transferred a detachment and the second infantry regiment to the direction of Rehe without authorization, and as a result, the backbone of his troops was only an infantry regiment, and when Liu Chang entered Beijing, the news of the setback in the Jinzhou operation came.
He and Qu Jie did not expect that Liu Chang had made such a big determination on the Jinzhou issue, he only stayed in Beijing for one day, and before he even had a good rest, he led the troops of the Second Cavalry Regiment, the Second Infantry Regiment and the 62nd Infantry Regiment as the backbone to immediately go out to fight, and some troops were about to prepare to go out of the customs to fight before they even entered Beijing City.
"When will the 2nd Infantry Regiment turn to the direction of Jinzhou, that's not a question for me to consider!" Liu Chang replied to Zhou Xiuying: "The question I think about is how to take Jinzhou, and then take the entire Guanwai!"
His expression suddenly became excited: "Miss Xiu, you don't understand, this is my mission!" I can't get rid of the mission. ”
Zhou Xiuying had never seen Liu Chang so excited, Liu Chang held the reins tightly: "Siberia, Sakhalin, Mongolia, and many, many more, that is where I am destined to bleed, this is my mission, I can't lose them!"
"You can't throw away an inch of soil!"
Liu Chang continued: "This is more important than the throne, more than life, and more important than everything......"
He suddenly stretched out a hand to Zhou Xiuying: "I hope to walk with you!"
"Let's go together!"
Zhou Xiuying's face was flushed, he had never seen Liu Chang so stubborn, nor had he seen Liu Chang have such a martyr-like look on his face.
She didn't know what Liu Chang's mission was that she couldn't get rid of, and she just thought: "I am willing to walk with you, even if it is death!"
The whole person was quiet, except for the sound of neat footsteps, the sky became silent, and Zhou Xiuying even had a suspicion that in this wilderness, the Russian cavalry would run out like a tide, and then kill this tired army.
You must know that this army started from Henan and Shandong, and walked thousands of miles all the way, and some units even fought for 16,700 miles.
I don't know what kind of soldiers will appear after the gunshots are fired, Zhou Xiuying looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, and suddenly had a bad premonition: "I am willing to walk with you, honorable inspector!"
She preferred the original inspection point to that cold majesty, and Liu Chang had no intention of correcting her mistakes, Zhou Xiuying continued: "Our battle near Jinzhou may be a very difficult battle, and we are not familiar with the terrain there. ”
"Black Mountain, Dahu Mountain, Jinzhou, Tashan, Huludao......" Liu Chang said meaningfully: "I know a lot about these place names, please believe me." ”
Zhou Xiuying asked another thing: "What is the half poem you wrote before you left Beijing, the Long March is not an embarrassing day, and the battle is a big problem." Every time the eagle hears the big bird, the laughs at the eagle...... I only understand one sentence, Zhan Jin Fang is a big problem......"
Liu Chang didn't answer Zhou Xiuying's question directly, he just looked at the empty field in the distance: "What do you think of this outside the pass?" ”
"The land is fertile, the forests are dense and the water is sweet, it is indeed the land of abundance!" Zhou Xiuying followed Liu Chang's words and said: "It's a pity that the Manchurians didn't manage it well!"
Liu Chang said loudly on the horse: "This is the field house I gave to the soldiers, but all the soldiers who participated in this battle, regardless of their background, can get a copy of their own field house outside the gate, do you see this black soil?" ”
"I saw it, I saw it!" All the tense and even numb moods of the soldiers suddenly became happy, most of them were ordinary Chinese peasants and small citizens, and naturally knew the meaning of a farm house for their families.
"Every soldier who participates in the war, even if he only fires one bullet, can get at least thirty acres of fertile soil, and meritorious soldiers can get more, look at this black land!"
The fatigue of the officers and soldiers suddenly disappeared without a trace, and some soldiers simply grabbed a handful of this fertile black soil with their own hands, which is indeed the most fertile soil.
However, outside the pass, such land abounded, and according to His Majesty, it was equivalent to the fertile fields of five or six provinces within the pass, so the soldiers cheered and rejoiced, and the stones in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
"But the enemy's strength still surpasses ours!" Zhou Xiuying's horse followed Liu Chang's side closely, and she said her worries: "I have heard that the Russian soldiers in Jiang are claimed to be 100,000, and the actual number is at least 40,000 or 50,000, there are 4,000 soldiers in Jinzhou City, and there are about 30,000 soldiers in Shengjing, and our combined strength is only a little more than 10,000. ”
This is the most helpless period in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Expedition again and again not only ended in vain, but in the end even Zhao Guangyi almost didn't run out, but Liu Chang said: "This black land is ours, this is my mission!"
"Our ......" Zhou Xiuying quickly discovered the language disease in Liu Chang's mouth: "Our land, our mission ......"
The two of them walked together under the remnant sun, but they quickly broke their idle time, and there was a loud report from the fast horse: "The second infantry regiment is coming from the starry night of Rehe, and it is only a day and a half away from us!"
Liu Chang nodded, and another ranger came from the north: "The Jinzhou Rakshasa soldiers are dispatched, and the forward of their horse team has arrived in Jinzhou, Chen Yucheng, the division commander, and the Ren Zhu brigade commander, please make all preparations!"
Liu Chang didn't say anything, Zhou Xiuying grabbed his hand, this was the first time, she said softly: "Let's go to Jinzhou together, this is our mission!" (To be continued.)
