Tunguska City is a typical military fortress, by the mountains and rivers, on the top of the mountain, is the Ming army according to the terrain to build a four-layer fortress, enough to station tens of thousands of soldiers, next to the river bank is the city wall of forts, enough to make people daunting.

This city, in the future, will be the Siberian Plateau water and land hub, so, the Ming army construction is particularly attentive, on this day, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao are jointly inspecting the construction of the southern city wall, suddenly a personal guard to report: "Generalissimo Qiyu, Vice Marshal Cao, the liaison ship of the East China Sea Fleet has arrived at the port west of the city, they say that General Chen Hui Chen has led the fleet over, and it will arrive in about an hour." “

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the news, he smiled happily: "Hahahaha, the East China Sea Fleet has finally arrived, notify all the commanders of the legions, go to the commander's tent for a meeting, General Cao, let's go, let's go to the port to meet General Chen." “

After that, he took the lead in walking towards the port, and some of the guards behind scattered to give orders, and some scattered on both sides to escort Lu Xiangsheng forward, Cao Wenzhao responded respectfully, and quickly followed.

Soon after the group arrived at the port, dozens of Fuchuan warships appeared on the river in the distance, and a sun, moon and dragon flag fluttering in the wind on the first warship, which was the temporary flagship of Chen Hui, commander of the East China Sea Fleet.

The Fuchuan battleship quickly entered the port under the propulsion of the oars, Chen Hui saw that Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao came to the port to greet him in person, and hurriedly commanded the flagship to take the lead in docking, and before the flagship stopped, he ordered someone to release the suspension ladder, ran off the ship quickly, came to Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao, performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "The last general Chen Hui, see Lu Dashuai, Cao Deputy Marshal." “

Lu Xiang returned a military salute, then stepped forward with a smile, shook Chen Hui's hand and said, "General Chen, we have been waiting for many days, let's go, let's discuss the details of the next move." “

After that, he led Chen Hui to the city.

By this time, the walls of the city of Tunguska had almost been built, and there were no buildings in the city, except that the ground had just been leveled, but the military tents were densely packed and covered the entire city.

When Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao led Chen Hui to the tent, the commanders of the various legions had already gathered around the sand table model to discuss.

After a period of greetings and greetings, Lu Xiangsheng was not verbose, and directly picked up the ash pole and said loudly: "Everyone, the cold winter is approaching, we must take the entire Siberian Plateau as soon as possible, and it is too late for the railway line to extend to the main trunk of the Yeni River, and we can only use the warships of the East China Sea Fleet to project our forces to the unoccupied area." “

After that, he began to point to the sand table model to divide the area, due to the urgency of time, this time the infantry did not concentrate together, but scattered to the east of the Yeni River at the intersection of the major tributaries and the main trunk and various land passages to build fortresses and defenses, the cavalry still along the major tributaries to search the net, if you can find the main force of Tsarist Russia, concentrate your forces to encircle and annihilate, if you can't find it, you will recover all the tribes along the coast.

Although this tactic is a bit conservative, it is a steady victory, even if the main force of Tsarist Russia is hidden on the east bank of the Yeni River, it is impossible for the Ming army to have an avalanche-like rout.

Of course, now that Golovin had withdrawn, there was no main force of Tsarist Russia in the entire Siberian Plateau, so the advance of the Ming army was as fast as ever, and by the end of September, when the weather began to turn cold, the Ming army had occupied almost the entire territory of the Siberian Plateau.

At this time, Golovin had just joined up with 200,000 reinforcements.

This time the reinforcements came by Rozov's favorite general Dmitry. Franzbekov, before he came, Rozov taught him that in the face of the Ming army, he should not come by force, and should adopt flexible tactics depending on the situation in the Far East.

If the Ming army was still wandering on the Siberian Plateau, they would use the tributaries of the Lena River and the Yeni River to maneuver with the Ming army, entangled the Ming army in the Siberian Plateau, and waited for an opportunity to break each one.

If the Ming army rushed into the Siberian Plain, then find a way to go around behind them and cut off their grain routes.

The reason why Rozov would propose such a conservative tactic was also a helpless move, although he knew that the Ming Empire was a hornet's nest from the beginning, but he did not expect that with a slight stab, the Ming Empire would react so violently.

According to the analysis of the news collected from all sides, the Ming Empire has dispatched at least a million troops, and if it fights head-on, there is no chance of winning at all, and only surprise can win.

This tactic coincided with Golovin's idea, but the Ming army didn't follow their routine at all, and just as the two were discussing the specific battle plan on the map, bad news came one by one.

First, the main trunk of the Ye Ni River was blocked by the fleet of the Ming army, and then a large number of Ming troops were building fortresses at the intersections of various tributaries in the east, and then, the entire east bank of the Ye Ni River gradually lost news.

The Ming army did not linger on the Siberian Plateau, but had already rushed to the junction of the Siberian Plateau and the Siberian Plain; They did not rush lightly to the enemy, rushed across the Yeni River, and continued to advance towards the Siberian plain, but built fortresses on various land and water routes, and had a great tendency to hold out.

Now Golovin and Franz Bekov were completely dumbfounded, and they rushed and stopped rushing, which is completely inconsistent with their ideas!

Seeing that the temperature was slowly getting colder and there was a situation full of wind and snow, Golovin and Franzbekov had no choice but to disperse their forces to various fortresses on the Siberian Plain to prevent the Ming army from raiding, and at the same time send people to the imperial capital to report the situation and wait for Rozov's instructions.

They didn't have a train, and even if they were to speed up the boat, it would take a month to go back and forth from the Siberian Plain to the imperial capital, and by that time, the ice and snow would have covered the heavens and the earth, and the battle would not be fought until next year.

In fact, the Ming army also had this plan, and when Zhu Cijiong first formulated the plan, he knew that this year, in just over two months, it would be impossible to occupy the whole of Siberia, so the first phase of the plan would end on the east bank of the Yeni River.

As soon as the Ming army finished building the forts, the temperature began to drop sharply, the north wind was howling, the sky was cloudy, and it was about to snow.

At this time, trains full of grain and grass roared through the Siberian plateau to the city of Tunguska, and then these grain and grass were transported by the East China Sea Fleet to various fortresses on the front, and the trains that came were not empty, and one by one the legions began to board the trains and rush back.

If the ice period in Siberia is half a year, if all the million troops and the 700,000 people who built the railway are left here, the food and grass required will be innumerable, and even if there is a railway, it will be difficult to transport it before the ice period, so most of the people must be withdrawn.

The first to withdraw were the six vassal army corps and 100,000 Liaodong garrisons, and then, the first corps of the frontier army, the second corps of the frontier army, the second corps of the expeditionary force, and the loyal and brave army withdrew one after another, leaving only the Tianxiong Army, the Guanning Army, the Liaodong Army, the Dongjiang Army, and the Dingliao Army five elite corps stationed on the front line.

With the combat strength of the Ming army, these five corps were enough to deal with the attack of the entire Tsarist Russia, and with the cooperation of the East China Sea Fleet, even if the anti-Habsburg coalition attacked with all its might, it would be impossible to break through their defensive line.

At this time, Zhu Cijiong, who was far away in Manjingwei, was also ready to return to the capital, he came to Sun Chengzong's cemetery, respectfully worshipped, and then, standing up, like Sun Chengzong's statue, looked at the west from afar, and said firmly: "I will not let you go easily, next year, fight again!" “

How will this big battle end? At the end of this volume, please see the breakdown of the next volume.
