Now Linevich finally panicked, now behind is the Shanhaiguan Pass that can't fly, behind is the army of Song Qing and Yuan Shikai, 30,000 Russian troops are surrounded by a radius of less than thirty miles, although his cavalry is extremely fast, tactical flexibility, but once suppressed, within a small space, the role of the cavalry is difficult to wield.

Lynevich gathered all six brigade commanders together to discuss countermeasures.

What to do? Even if Shanhaiguan attacks with all its might, it will not be possible to attack for half a month, and it will be difficult to attack it for a month, but Song Qing and Yuan Shikai in the back will not give themselves so much time to let go of the attack, otherwise, why don't they stay in Beijing and Shandong, sit on the Taishi chair, drink Chinese tea, and watch the excitement?

Lynevich said: "Everyone is clear, now several important roads south of Shanhaiguan have been blocked by the Qing army, Song Qing is in the southwest, Yuan Shikai is in the southeast, we are only surrounded in this small space, once we fall into the siege of the other party, we will be very passive." ”

Kurchenkotsa said: "Commander, we now have 30,000 Cossack cavalry, all of them are warriors with one enemy and ten warriors, and those shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Qing Dynasty, how can we resist our full attack, I am a little alarmist to the commander." ”

Linevich said angrily: "Kurchenkocha, you know a fart, the more than 10,000 elite Chinese tigers on the Shanhai Pass are decorations, and their elite soldiers have beaten Governor Kuropatkin to the ground!" It is inevitable that Yuan Shikai is also not a simple guy, one of our brigades went to intercept him, and suffered a big loss, Song Qing and Dong Fuxiang in the southwest learned a lesson, not blindly attacking, do you think we can hold out for a few days without foreign aid and baggage supply? ”

When Kurchenkocha heard this, he immediately became dumbfounded, lowered his head and said no more.

Tymoshenko said: "Commander, I think that in fact, now they are besieging us, which shows that they are in a very difficult situation now, but I heard that all the troops of the Chinese Tigers have been transferred to Heilongjiang and marched to Vladivostok, and now Mukden and Jilin are extremely empty, and they are always facing Japanese invasion. As long as we can persevere, within half a month, the Japanese army will definitely fight over, and when the time comes, our predicament will be solved. ”

Linevich nodded and said: "Tymoshenko, what you said is not unreasonable, but we are besieged here, can we hold out for more than ten days, we don't have much food." ”

Tymoshenko's face also changed at this time, yes, 30,000 troops, there is not a small amount of food needed for a day, usually they loot nearby villages, and now the nearby villages have been looted by them, and they can only go farther away to plunder, but now that the Qing army is guarding all the main roads, it is obviously impossible to plunder as before, there is no food, even if the Cossack cavalry is brave and good at fighting, then they have to wait for death.

Seeing that Tymoshenko was also silent, Linevich said hurriedly: "Tymoshenko, you are the most favorite among several brigade commanders, see if there is any good way?" ”

Tymoshenko hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, in the current situation, I'm afraid that there is only one way to kill horses, as long as we can hold out until the Japanese army sends troops, then we will definitely be able to escape, Zhang Yi will definitely not sit idly by and watch Fengtian and Jilin have problems, that is his base camp......"

"What? Kill the horse! ”

Kurchenkotsa was furious at that time and shouted: "No, Tymoshenko, you coward, you are not worthy of being a knight of the empire!" War horses are our lives, and you came up with such an idea, bastard! ”

Lynevich was furious and scolded: "Bastard, Kurchenkocha, you shut up for me!" If you dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will remove you! ”

Linevich said in a deep voice: "Tymoshenko, now there is only this way to go. After you go back, you must be more vigilant and don't make any mistakes at this moment! ”

At this time, Yuan Shikai and Song Qingjun ushered in a few strange guests, these people were sent by Zhang Yi to meet them, the three armies of the two sides were twenty or thirty miles apart, Zhang Yi was in the Shanhaiguan, communication was very inconvenient, in order to be able to better command the battle, Zhang Yi directly sent three blue wolves to the two people, carrying wireless telegraphs, and came to the camps of the two armies.

Yuan Shikai and Song Qing saw on the spot, the scene of the blue wolf using wireless telegraphy to communicate with Zhang Yi, they were shocked, in a few years, Fengtian already had such advanced equipment, especially Yuan Shikai, he is a famous Westernist, is the middle of Beiyang, and has a deep understanding of international information, but he has never heard of this kind of wireless telegraph!

At this time, the two of them really admired Zhang Yi to the bone, with this thing, it would be better to fight the Russians than to add wings to the tiger?

Yuan Shikai laughed and said: "Jianzhi, Jianzhi, it is really a genius of Tianzhong, my Yuan Shikai has really seen the heroes who convinced me in my life, with him, we have an army of 40,000 and a three-way siege, if we can't destroy the Cossack cavalry, then it is better to jump into the pit and drown;!" ”

Zhang Yi immediately came over with the first order, ordering two armies of men and horses, from the southeast and southwest directions, to advance slowly, to block all key roads, to trap the Russian army in the narrowest range, so that they could not move, and at the same time, to exert great pressure on them strategically and hit their morale!

Yuan Shikai and Song Qing got the military order and began to approach in the direction of Shanhaiguan respectively.

At this time, the Russian army was a little panicked, in front of which was the Shanhaiguan Pass, which could not be crossed, behind which was a two-way army, with at least 30,000 people, plus the men and horses of Shanhaiguan, at least more than 40,000, and surrounded them like sheep, as if they were choked by the neck, and it was difficult to breathe.

Several groups of cavalry who went out to plunder were beaten to the ground by the Qing army, and ran back in embarrassment, and did not grab anything, what can be done, the army's food will last for seven days at most, and the horse's fodder and grass can not even hold on for four days, and can only eat some roadside grass, so the army will collapse sooner or later.

Just when the Russian army was in a panic, Yuan Shikai and Song Qing had already advanced the army to a place less than ten miles away from the Russian army, and the situation of strategic deterrence had already formed. That's what you want! Just when Linevich was in a hurry to catch fire, the house leak happened to be rainy, and the Qing army carried out a night attack! (Dissertation College)
