Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Final Battle Russia is defeated

The fact that the envoy of the Ming Dynasty was able to come here to ask for a meeting really surprised the Tsar. However, hearing this news, the tsar's mood is still very complicated, he has just fought a bloody battle, his own strength consumption is too great, the strength of the Ottoman army is far more than the original estimate, and the consequences of continuing to fight are unpredictable. If this defeat was lost, the great Russian Empire would have no chance of victory. The Ottoman Empire will not hesitate to wave its troops against Moscow, and the outcome will soon be known. Always preparing for a decisive battle with the Ottoman Empire, the tsar never thought about what to do if he was defeated? Is it just like this, dying in battle, committing suicide, being captured and humiliated? The choice is just in front of you, but the envoy of the Ming Dynasty came to let this question be quickly mentioned in front of you. However, the arrival of the Ming Dynasty envoy reminded the tsar of another option, the Lord Lu from Yaogang sent their words to Mr. Zhang, they would not allow the Ottoman Empire to occupy the Russian Empire. However, the Tsar was a very shrewd man, and he knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he did not consider it an option at all. It is better to rely on anyone than on yourself. But now it may be the best choice to rely on the Ming Dynasty.

The tsar didn't care about the box of soaked instant noodles, and immediately came to the back of the battle to meet the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

Waiting for this moment, the kiln gang has been waiting for too long, and the preparation is also very sufficient.

The tsars and aristocrats of the Russian Empire liked the food they bought from the Ming Dynasty, such as instant noodles, canned food, etc., not only because these things were very delicious, but also because they were very expensive, eating these was a symbol of status.

The logistics officials of the Russian Empire did not pay attention to the fact that the stored cans were quickly used up, so that the tsar did not want to eat them, and the angry tsar almost killed this confused guy. It is not good to accompany the army without these things, and the senior generals like this thing. Count Petrov was ordered to go to Chinatown in the Urashan Mountains to buy canned beef and other supplies.

Jiang Jian was also in control of the situation of the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire at any time, and was thinking about how to send the agreement drafted by Yaogang to the Tsar, when Count Petrov arrived. At the request of Count Petrov, of course, Jiang Ji urgently transferred canned beef from the kiln to him. At the same time, he was told that an envoy was to be sent from the Yaogang side, and there was a document that he wanted to hand over to the Tsar in person.

Count Petrov, of course, was willing to do this, but he said that he would go back and talk to the Tsar, and when the potters brought the cans, the envoy would come with him.

However, by the time Count Petrov returned to Moscow, the Tsar had already gone to the front with the army. There was no way, Count Petrov had no choice but to send a telegram to Jiang Jiao with the telegram of the kiln gang branch. Hearing this news, Jiang Pai was also a little anxious, he knew that he had to show him this agreement before the tsar was defeated, but it was not enough to give it to him early. Therefore, when the automobile team delivered canned beef to Moscow, there were two more four-wheel-drive cars in the automobile team, and on the cars were officers, envoys, guards, and generalists sent by Jiang Ping.

When the envoy arrived in Moscow, he immediately told Count Petrov that he must go to the front line to meet the Tsar as soon as possible.

Going to the front was not a trivial matter, and Count Petrov was repeatedly hesitant to send them to the front. Finally, the envoy told Count Petrov that he had in his possession an important document concerning the survival of the Russian Empire, and Count Petrov agreed to go with them to the front to meet the Tsar.

The car fleet of Yaogang, which was carrying canned beef for the Tsar, was supposed to return to Moscow, but Count Petrov wanted the Tsar and the front-line generals to eat canned food early, and hired them to send the canned food to the front at a high price. Two four-wheel-drive cars also went with a convoy of five large cars.

The Tsar knew that there was about to start a war with the Ottoman Empire, and did not have much time, so he met with the envoy, and when the envoy was introduced by Count Petrov, he saluted the Tsar, and the Tsar said: "Honorable envoy, thank you for coming to the front to see me. But we're going to war again, and time is running out, so let's talk about something quickly! ”

The envoy demanded: "Your Majesty, I have brought a document from our Ming Dynasty to His Majesty the Tsar, can I hand it over to you alone?" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Okay, let's go into the tent and talk!" ”

Count Petrov was a little angry, and said in his heart: "Why do you want to avoid me!" But when he saw the Tsar enter the tent with the envoys and generals, he could only shrug his shoulders and shake his head helplessly.

Entering the tent, the envoy took out a beautifully printed document and handed it to the Tsar.

This document is written in both Russian and Chinese and is a letter of agreement. The tsar was stunned when he saw it, and the head of the stage read "The New Testament for the Demarcation of the Russian Empire and the Ming Dynasty".

The tsar opened the document with some displeasure and said: "We are at war, there is no time for this joke!" ”

The envoy said: "It is because you are fighting that we rushed to the front to see your majesty!" ”

"Huh?" The Tsar looked at the table and asked, "I don't have time to read such a thick document, what do you mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, we Mr. Zhang said that if there is an unfavorable situation in the war between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, we will send troops to support Your Majesty. But we need a reason to send troops, and if you sign this document, that is the reason why we send troops! ”

"Hmmm! It's kind of interesting, can you tell me what this document is about? ”

"Your Majesty, the content of the document is to return to the Ming Dynasty the lands north of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, east of the Dnieper River and south of Volgograd. In this way, we will reclaim our own land, and we will be famous! ”

"What?" The tsar did not understand at once, "You say it again!" I think I misheard! ”

"Your Majesty, in this agreement, the Russian Empire will return to the Ming Dynasty the lands north of the Greater Caucasus Mountains and east of the Dnieper River and south of Volgograd." Again, the envoy replied clearly.

After the translation of the general, the tsar still did not believe it, and the general said to the tsar very accurately that it was true.

Seeing that the tsar still didn't believe it, the envoy said: "Your Majesty, the documents in your hand, our emperor of the Ming Dynasty have signed them and stamped them with the imperial seal. Just look at it. As long as you sign this document, it will take effect, and we can justifiably send troops! ”

The tsar finally figured out this, his neck and face were cyanotic, and he said angrily: "The land of the Russian Empire, not an inch will be given to others!" ”

"Your Majesty, this land originally belonged to several khanates of our Yuan Dynasty, like the Crimean Peninsula, many of which were from our Mongols, and you are returning it to us. Not for us! ”

"Our Russian empire was also your khanate, should it be returned to you as well?"

"That's not necessary, we respect the sovereign state status of the Russian Empire!" The envoy knew that the tsar would not agree at once, so he said in no hurry, "Actually, if you can't hold it, it is better to return it to us than to be occupied by the Ottoman Empire." We will also guarantee the security of the Russian Empire, which is a matter of mutual benefit, Your Majesty should think about it calmly! ”

The Tsar glared at the envoy with bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the good face of our relationship in the past, I would have pulled you out and chopped you into meat paste now!" ”

"I understand Your Majesty's feelings! But Your Majesty must also face the reality calmly! The sooner we send troops, the better it will be for the Russian Empire! ”

"We're not defeated yet!" The Tsar roared, "Hurry up and roll me as far as possible!" The idea of trying to hit us with the land of the Russian Empire is a dream! ”

After saying that, the tsar rushed out of the tent in a rage.

Outside the tent, hearing the Tsar's incessant roaring, Count Petrov did not dare to go in, and when he saw the Tsar coming out angrily, he greeted him and asked: "Your Majesty, what is it that makes you so angry?" ”

Seeing Count Petrov, the Tsar thought that he had brought an envoy to sign this agreement, and shouted angrily: "You stupid pig! As he spoke, he slapped the protocol in his hand in the face.

Count Petrov, who was dazed, hurriedly picked up the documents flying around, but he felt too wronged in his heart, and he rushed to the front line regardless of his hard work. However, Count Petrov glanced at the title of the document in Chinese and Russian in his hand, "The New Testament on the Delimitation of the Boundary between the Russian Empire and the Ming Dynasty", and immediately felt that something very bad had happened. I didn't have time to read this document, so I came to the envoy who came out of the tent, pointed to the document in my hand, and asked, "This, what's going on?" ”

The envoy smiled and said, "Since His Majesty the Tsar has handed over this document to you for study, you should take a good look at it!" ”

"You've been hiding it from me, what the hell is going on!?"

"Since Your Majesty gave you the document, I won't hide it!" "We are ready to send troops to help in the war, but we need a reason to send them," the envoy said. And this reason is that you will give us back to our original land. But now His Majesty is very excited and can't accept this! ”

"Your Majesty will never give the lands of the Russian Empire to others!"

"Actually, the land we want is also the land we originally had during the Yuan Dynasty, and it is not your Russian Empire at all. Besides, you will be given to us the land occupied by the Ottoman Empire right away, and you can still get our support, you will not lose anything! ”

After hearing this, Count Petrov was also furious, "Didn't you listen to what our Majesty said? We're not defeated yet! ”

"It's going to be soon!" The envoy did not give Count Petrov face at all, "Will the Count leave with us now, or will you wait a while and you and the soldiers will run for your life?" ”

Count Petrov stomped his foot angrily and ignored the envoy, when the Tsar and the envoy were talking in the tent, he had already learned some about the battlefield situation, and knew that the losses in the battle were not small, so he immediately asked people to carry canned beef and other things to the Tsar, as well as the officers and soldiers on the battlefield everywhere. He knew that it was likely that this would be the last time the generals would eat something so good.

The tsar returned to his command platform, his face was not good, and the civil and military did not dare to ask more. Although the tsar was furious, he knew very well in his heart that the kiln man was very powerful, and if he was defeated, he had no choice but to accept the conditions of the kiln man, otherwise the consequences would be even worse, it was likely that the Russian Empire would not exist, and his own result might be even worse. But before the defeat was defeated, it was a great shame to accept such conditions. If you don't fight, you can't accept such conditions. Besides, the appetite of the people of the Ming Dynasty is too great, so that the Russian Empire has no outlet to the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and the mouth of the Volga River will be at the border of the Ming Dynasty in the future, which is absolutely unacceptable. But the people of the Ming Dynasty also ate him, and the agreement was printed clearly, and even the emperor's imperial seal was stamped, and he had no intention of discussing with him at all. It's just too deceitful.

However, until the Tsar knew that they had signed, the Kilnmen would not have watched themselves being captured or killed by the Ottomans.

On the battlefield, after a period of rectification, the two sides fought again.

This time, the Ottomans attacked first, and this time neither side had any secrets to speak of, and there was no need to probe them. The Ottoman army attacked from both flanks at the same time. The Ottoman army on both flanks was almost completely pressed, leaving only a small number of troops, bluffing there, so that the Russian Empire would not see that the flanks were empty.

The Russian Empire commanded the army to meet the battle, but this time, the tsar did not organize an army to attack from the center, he knew that if he rushed over and fought to the death with the opponent, his own strength would be inferior to the opponent, and he would definitely suffer a big loss, which would cause the entire front to collapse completely.

The situation now has one thing in common between the two sides, that is, the guns on both sides cannot fire. In addition to being destroyed by the opponent, the intensive fire deformed the cannon a lot. Ammunition is also consumed about the same.

The shouts of the charging soldiers were much quieter, and the officers and soldiers on both sides knew that the final decisive battle had begun.

In the sound of war drums, the neat phalanxes of the Ottoman Empire pressed towards the Russian Imperial Front, and the tense atmosphere made the air seem to have frozen.

The boulders thrown from the Russian Imperial Front began to whizz towards the phalanx of the Ottoman army, and horses and soldiers were constantly smashed. The neighing of horses and the screams of soldiers continued to be heard in a terrible way.

These phalanxes, which could not stop the Ottoman attack, were followed by a dense exchange of bows and arrows, followed by the exchange of muskets from both sides. Then the heavy armored cavalry of both sides rushed together, and the officers and soldiers fought together, killing in the dark. At this time, you can't show any skills, it's all about fighting strength.

The Ottoman Empire was strong in having more people and more grabbing more. This time, their musketeers also learned the lessons of the previous battle and joined the warband. The strength of the Russian Empire was the skill of their musketeers. Also, fighting in your own formation, there are many geographical advantages that can be exploited. Due to the participation of muskets, the advantages of the Janichaean Guards and the Zipasi Guards, who were very strong in fighting skills, were weakened a lot, and no matter how strong their martial arts were, they could not withstand the close-range blow of muskets.

The two armies were turned upside down, but neither of the two armies, the Ottoman Sultan nor the Russian Tsar, directed the army to act. Regardless of the sound of the two wings killing all day long, the commanders of both sides who were determined were surprisingly calm.

In fact, the Tsar of the Russian Empire was still very frightened in his heart, he knew that his elite musketeers had been sent to both wings, and there were only two thousand musketeers around him, and his strength was very weak. But if the musketeers were not sent to the two wings, the two wings would have been broken by the Ottoman army long ago.

The Tsar was still regretting in his heart, he should have squeezed out some more gold and silver, and bought more muskets, but it was too late to say anything now.

The sun killed by the armies on both wings was a little westerly, and the sound of killing had gradually weakened. The Ottoman sultan and the Russian imperial tsar, at the same time drove the army to attack. But it was also an attack, and the Russian Tsar played a trick, and after the army was dispatched, he suddenly paused and let the Ottoman army rush in, and the stone throwers behind their positions suddenly threw a lot of boulders. Killed a lot of Ottoman heavy cavalry. However, this could not stop the phalanx of the Ottoman army, and the armies of both sides still rushed together. Heavily armored cavalry ramming each other was a tactic in itself. The elites of the two countries collided together, and for a time flesh and blood flew sideways. In fact, this kind of melee is what the Russian Empire likes, and in the past few battles, they learned that they suffered a lot from the showdown with the elite of the Ottoman Empire, and they fought hard to make those professional soldiers worse, and the melee was more about luck.

The phalanxes of the two sides rushed together and soon mixed together, rushing and killing for a while, the number of people on the battlefield was a little smaller, and the phalanx behind rushed up again, and mixed with the opponent's new phalanx. In the end, the officers and soldiers of both sides were fighting on the corpses of the officers and soldiers of both sides and the horses. There is no fear on the battlefield, no love and hate, they are all machines that kill red eyes, and they will cut down their opponents without being cut down by their opponents. The life that is mixed together in this way is very fragile, and it is not as fragile as an ant. Living lives are devoured here one by one.

The commanders of both sides who command the operation must have extraordinary command skills and iron will in order to correctly judge the situation on the battlefield.

After the tsar sent his own two thousand muskets, he was quickly drowned in the battlefield. However, the phalanx of the Ottoman army continued to drive over. The Tsar smiled bitterly and looked at the only 10,000 guards behind him, and he knew that his family was too much worse than the Ottoman Empire.

When the Tsar waved his guards and the rest of his cars and rushed into the battlefield, he found that behind him, the officers and soldiers in charge of logistics were already running out. How these guys who don't go to the battlefield are more afraid of death made the tsar a little puzzled.

At this time, a group of cavalry, who did not know where to kill, rushed towards the Tsar's command platform, and when they got closer, they were Serbian cavalry from their clothing, and they were very fast. The captain of the guard led the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry to meet him, and at the cost of many soldiers being hacked to death, he killed the cavalry.

On the battlefield, there was no safe place, and there were fewer and fewer Russian Imperial soldiers fighting in front, but the phalanx behind the Ottoman Empire was still rolling in. The captain of the guard approached the tsar and said: "Your Majesty, the Russian Empire cannot live without you, you should go!" ”

"No, I'm going to die with the officers and soldiers of the Empire!" The tsar shouted hoarsely.

The civil and military officers around him were ready to die before going to the battlefield, and they were not afraid of death at all. But now is the last moment to be able to go, and they still hope that the tsar will go quickly, so that they can go.

Someone said, "Your Majesty, you go!" Leave it to us here, it's up to you to regroup and fight again! ”

The man finally gave the Tsar a reason to go. It was late, however, and many Ottoman cavalry had already rushed behind them.

At this time, several large cars rushed over, this was the one that delivered them canned beef, and the four-wheel-drive car in which the two envoys and Count Petrov were riding.
