Chapter 510: Inch by Inch
Chapter 510: Inch by Inch
It was very inconvenient for the marching army of nearly 200,000 troops, and there were many affairs, and sometimes the vanguard troops had already gone more than ten miles, and the rear wing troops were still waiting in the camp. Fun mini-games . When Qian Buli rushed to Yunzhou and joined Qin Chongsan, Guan Shengzhi, Li Chuang and other departments, the team became even larger, and the dispatch was more energy-consuming.
But no matter how long the road is, there is a time to finish, three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qian Buli finally rushed to the Bering River, and met with the three major regiments of Fengyun, Dragon and Tiger, and Thunder led by Wei Chi Fengyun, and the whole army repaired for five days, and then pulled out the camp and marched eastward, forcing Tel Ve!
From Mikhail's point of view, he hoped that the war would break out as late as possible, but unfortunately the development of things is not subject to human will, although Qian Buli led hundreds of thousands of troops to march very slowly, but still gradually approached Telavi, the important town of the Rus' country, Mikhail had to order Anatoly to withdraw from Telavi, and concentrate all the remaining forces of the Rus' country in Fort St. Nicholas, ready to fight to the death with Qian Buli.
Qian did not leave but he had to make inches, leaving only 6,000 new troops to garrison Telavi, and turned his army to the northeast, aiming at Fort St. Nicholas.
Qian Wuli was determined to start the war in the autumn and end the war before the winter came, and the time of the war was not chosen at will, but involved many factors.
First of all, the plague has completely disappeared, and you can attack with confidence, but the Rus country has just survived the disaster, and before it can take a breath and deal with the attack of Qian Buli, the string is too tight and will break!
Jia Tianxiang's ability is truly amazing, and the various immigration measures he has formulated have been properly and even perfectly implemented. Countless villages have been built on thousands of miles of land around the city of Mogan, and the civilians of Ji Zhou are fighting for their future, and the soil of this wilderness is indeed as fertile as Andrew said, both political and harmonious, and the wind and rain are smooth, for the hundreds of thousands of immigrants in Ji Zhouguo. It was a bumper year.
Although the Cabinet of Ministers has stipulated that immigrants are exempt from all taxes for three years. But there was no shortage of money, and what made him a headache was the thousands of miles of logistical supply lines, which he could use to buy food from the immigrants and then transport it to the front, which greatly reduced the burden on the cabinet.
Of course, the good harvest of immigrants also attracts many grain merchants if they raise the price of food for the sake of vicious competition. It will have a big impact. However, in this era, merchants have little power, there is no way to compete with the regime, money is not separated, just need to regulate it, set up checkpoints in Yunzhou, raise miscellaneous taxes, can make all merchants lose money, so businessmen do not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
According to the estimates of the General Staff. After the plague, the strength of the Rus' country was greatly depleted, and the remaining main legionnaires should be between 80,000 and 130,000, but Qian Buli used an army of 400,000, giving people the feeling that they used a slaughtering knife to kill chickens. But according to the current military theory, to kill a chicken is to use a cattle slaughtering knife! One hundred thousand against one hundred thousand. Even if you can win, you will suffer losses that are not optimistic in the end, if you take 400,000 against 100,000, as long as the strategic deployment is proper and there are no major mistakes, not only will you easily defeat the opponent, but its losses will also be reduced to a minimum. When the Rus Kingdom was in civil strife, Qian Buli no longer regarded the Rus Kingdom as his main opponent, and he was eyeing the Golden Horde and the Flying Eagle Tribe of Zamuhe, so he wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible.
The army of the United States led by Adams also drove over. In fact, the United States is very satisfied with what has been achieved so far. But money is inseparable from the war, and they must help. They wanted to use this kind of action to recognize the suzerainty of Ji Zhouguo, in order to win the favor of Qian Youli and deepen the friendship between the two countries.
On September 24, Qian Buli and Prince Adams finally rushed to the city of Fort St. Nicholas, a full army of 500,000 people, it is not too much to describe it as a banner covering the sun and beating drums, Mikhail, the commander of the Rus' state, stood at the head of the city for a long, long time, sighed gloomily, and walked down the city wall.
As a generation of famous marshals, Mikhail clearly knows how big the gap between the strength of the two armies is, not to mention that the current Ji Zhouguo has excellent generals such as Qian Buli, Wei Chi Fengyun, Zhang Jinwu, Pan Zhi, etc., who are either old men in the army or rising stars, but he can't find a helper who can take charge alone, this battle does not need to be fought, and the outcome has already been decided.
"Your Excellency, General, please!" Inside the tent, Prince Adams respectfully held the wine in his hand.
Before leaving, Prince Adams received guidance from his uncle, since he was powerless to turn the clouds and rain, it was better to rely on a strong man! Now that the United States has just pacified the violence in the north* and needs to recuperate, while the national strength of Ji Zhou is thriving, and the reputation of Qian Buli has been shocked, in this case, it is necessary to do everything possible to improve the relationship with Qian Budi. What's more, now Adams is just a prince, and it is still unknown which family will inherit the inheritance, if he can get the support of Qian Qilin, he Adams has a much better chance of winning.
Qian Buli smiled, picked up the wine glass and signaled, drank it all, to be honest, he was also a little excited in his heart, since Marshal Peter led the troops to invade the border, he has repeatedly made dangerous moves, fortunately, luck has been good, and finally come to this point, it is not easy!
"The Rus' state has touted their Mikhail too much. Arthur laughed: "What an invincible god of war!" In front of the general, Mikhail was simply vulnerable, and when the general killed Mikhail, he didn't know what would become of those stupid people. ”
Listening to the interpreter's words, Qian Buli sighed slightly, and didn't say anything, in fact, he felt a little sorry for Mikhail, even though at this time, although Mikhail was in a desperate situation, Qian Buli had not defeated Mikhail in a real sense, or tactically.
Don't judge heroes by success or failure, many people know this sentence, but few people can do it, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, winning is a hero, losing is a fool.
"General, when will the whole army attack? Our army is willing to take the lead! "Prince Adams spoke entirely in the tone of his subordinates.
"Wait a day. Qian Buli smiled and said: "I don't want to cause unnecessary casualties, our army's thunderbolt is too heavy, and it will take at least a day to reassemble, and it will be ready the day after tomorrow." "Sooner or later, the people of the United States will see the power of the thunderbolt, so it is better to speak now to show that they are open-minded.
"What is a Thunderbolt?" Adams was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, General, I shouldn't have asked such a question. ”
"Nothing, in front of my friends, I'm a person with no secrets. Qian Buli said with a smile: "The thunderbolt is a kind of heavy catapult, the stones projected are several times heavier than the ordinary catapult, and the distance projected is several times farther than the ordinary catapult, and the farthest can reach two thousand meters. "Mikhail's ability to learn is very astonishing, and if he borrows the way of defending the city from the Tianwei army, with the assistance of a large number of catapults, he will have to pay a heavy price to break through the city defense of Fort St. Nicholas. So in his spare time training soldiers, Qian Buli thought hard about building a giant catapult, and also transferred Tang Yunlong back. The hard work paid off, after two months of research, the first Thunderbolt finally came out, at the beginning the range of the Thunderbolt was only more than 1,000 meters, the frame was also not strong, after projecting two wheels, the frame was broken, and now the Thunderbolt has been improved several times, both the range and durability have been greatly improved.
"Two thousand meters??" Adams and Arthur exclaimed in unison, the distance of the two-thousand-meter attack was far beyond their understanding, and even a fool could imagine what a huge impact such a sharp weapon would have.
"It's two thousand meters, but ...... There were also troubles, the distance of two thousand meters was too far, the calibration was problematic, the most experienced catapult was difficult to maneuver, and the landing point was often outside the target. Qian Buli shook his head with some regret. There is no curved ruler, there is no systematic mathematical basis, everything has to rely on estimation and visual inspection, in fact, Tang Yunlong has done a good job, after all, it is difficult for people to see things two kilometers away.
"The walls of Fort St. Nicholas are so tall and so big, General Tang, there should be no problem aiming at the city walls, right?" Yu Chi Fengyun said with a smile on the side.
"It should be fine. Tang Yunlong hurriedly stood up and nodded. Don't look at Tang Yunlong's talking and laughing in front of Qian Buli, but he is respectful in front of Yu Chi Fengyun, because when Tang Yunlong was still a young newcomer, Yu Chi Fengyun was already the imperial god of war, and Tang Yunlong was in awe of that legendary figure from the bones, although he is also a general now, but the influence of his youth lingers.
"That's good. Wei Chi Fengyun nodded and smiled: "The last time Mikhail attacked the city of Megan, he actually prepared thousands of catapults, and this time he must have prepared more, let him stare there." ”
"Thunderbolt...... It was also made by the Great General, right? Adams asked cautiously.
"Hmm. Qian Buli nodded, he didn't want to take the credit of Tang Yunlong, but to take precautions, if anyone knew that Tang Yunlong was also one of the makers, it was likely that he would hit Tang Yunlong's head with the idea, and it would be better to take it himself.
"The Great General is really ...... Clever! Adams sighed, and then didn't ask anything, he was also a smart man, he knew what to ask and what not to ask, just like the artifact that money did not leave to make, he had always been curious, but he never asked about it, let alone the idea of the artifact.
Brilliant? Qian Buli smiled, he understood that he was not much smarter than others, and he was able to get to this point because he had received professional and systematic training, and he had mastered more common sense than others. From creating an avalanche in the first battle to now using the power of the plague to weaken the strength of the Rus' country, he would not have been able to do it if he hadn't mastered a lot of common sense.
