In the early morning, the fertile fields on the banks of the Kama River seem to be completely submerged in a vast white mist. The damp mist is like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River in March, like a drizzle of smoke and green willows that wet people's faces. Through the white mist-shrouded earth, the naked eye can only faintly see the outline of the encircled Russian army positions, as if it were a city.

The depth of the east, west, north and south, and the depth in both directions is close to three versts, and it is really the boss of the city.

In the end, Rumyantsev did not dare to retreat with his troops, he still had elite troops in his hands who dared to fight, and he also had strong confidence in these troops. Leaving these troops behind to block the attack, he then led the rest of the troops to flee for their lives, and he was confident that he would escape from the ascension.

But that behavior is like a gecko that has encountered danger, and the short tail survives. And if you want to use an old Chinese saying to describe it, it is to give up the car to protect the handsome!

Rumyantsev still miscalculated the execution of the enemy opposite him, and the Wehrmacht was even stronger than he thought.

He did not expect that just after breakfast, the Chinese mentioned Yu Yong and sent troops to the left and right flanks of the main force of the Russian army. By the time the Russian army found out, the Chinese were already digging trenches in the mud and building positions.

But with the strength of the Wehrmacht, it is impossible to completely surround the Russian army. So Rumyantsev immediately ordered the cavalry in his hands to run out quickly, but the large infantry in his hands really couldn't move.

Even if the Wehrmacht had only about one regiment on each flank, it would cause great trouble for the Russian army's retreat. If you leave at this time, it is very likely that everything will be finished.

When the sun jumped out of the clouds and the fog cleared, Wei Xiuzhi looked ahead, and after a day's rest, the Russians' positions were much more tidy.

There were a few slight explosions in the west, the sound was far away, and the fog had not completely dissipated, as if something had covered it and it was dull and muffled.

Wei Xiuzhi knew very well that this was the position of the Wehrmacht that was shelling the positions of the Russian army with artillery fire. Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, Wei Xiuzhi stood in the morning dew, crystal droplets of water condensed in his hair, and then slowly flowed down.

He didn't know if Rumyantsev was also looking at his opponent in the early morning sun, but now he smiled easily.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps not far away, and the sound of muddy water came clearly into his ears, and the guards on the periphery were a little commotional, but soon stabilized again. Several senior officers and staff officers of the headquarters behind Wei Xiuzhi stood in two rows, staring in the direction of the comer. Soon a communications soldier arrived.

"Vice-governor, twenty miles due north, traces of Cossack cavalry activity were found."

This communications soldier came to report not the eastward direction of the Russian army on the frontal battlefield, but the fleeing Russian cavalry on the peripheral battlefield. Rumyantsev knew very well that the power of cavalry lies in movement, so he sent out one regiment each of the Cossack cavalry and the Russian hussars and dragoons in his hands early. The rest of the hands estimated only one cuirassier regiment. [The Russian cavalry regiment is generally four companies, 6, 700 people. The permanent cavalry units in the border areas are somewhat larger. 】

Wei Xiuzhi was not surprised, he knew very well what Rumyantsev's intention was in scattering the rangers, hussars and other troops in his hands, and the Wehrmacht also scattered a lot of scouts out of the country, and now they have found their traces.

The regular cavalry units and the vassal cavalry units in the hands of the Wehrmacht were always immobile. This is definitely a great threat to the Russian infantry in front of them. Now the roads are muddy and fine, and when the stagnant water disappears in a few days, the Russian infantry will be even more passive.

And Wei Xiuzhi dared to confront the Russians so 'unscrupulously' in the 'enemy territory', which is also to bully the Russian army that it is impossible for troops to have large-scale reinforcements to the Kama River in the short term. On the contrary, it is the Wehrmacht, and over time, they may pull out the 'nails' one by one, thereby freeing up the besieging troops and thus forming a new mobile force.

If this continues, it is the Russians who are unlucky.

After the communication soldiers went down, Wei Xiuzhi's face did not change at all. He said to a group of people behind him: "Twenty miles, our warning range is exactly twenty miles." The Russians just came to demonstrate. ”

"Demonstrations are not afraid. If they really dare to come, let's wipe our mouths and eat them directly! A senior officer with the rank of general said domineeringly. As far as the Russians are concerned, the cavalry strength is really not enough for the cavalry units of the Wehrmacht here.

The cadres of the command headquarters all looked relaxed and calm. The battle of the Kama River has been fought so far, and the Wehrmacht has really occupied an absolute advantage, and it has eaten up the vanguard brigade a little bit, and then the blocking troops have withstood the crazy attack of the Russian army, allowing the Wehrmacht to tide over the most difficult difficulties. The next road cannot be said to be smooth, but it can also be said that there are no major potholes.

As long as the confrontation continues, Wei Xiuzhi will not say that the Russian army in front of him will not have a bite to eat, as long as the rockets in the opponent's hands are exhausted, the Russian army will be able to collapse without a fight.

This is an advantage of the general trend.

Rumyantsev didn't have an early short-tail to survive, and now it's too late for him to leave.

Today, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the hot air balloon has been lifted into the sky, although the artillery on hand of the Wehrmacht is not very useful, but knocking out the artillery positions of the Russian army, and then firing special shells, disgusting old Maozi, this can still be done.

The artillery of the Russian army is the first solution target of the Wehrmacht. And then it's going to be delayed. Wei Xiuzhi was in the words 'urgent' and 'slow', and finally chose the latter. In this way, the cost of military funds is certainly large, but the casualties can be greatly reduced. And maybe you can still catch Lao Maozi's reinforcements from the Ural River Valley.

Or when the Russian army runs out of supplies, especially when the rockets run out, the 20,000 Russian troops will become fish and meat on the chopping board, pigs and sheep on the board, and they will be slaughtered by people.

It's just that Wei Xiuzhi's 30,000 soldiers and horses stay in this Kama River, and the cost is too great. It's two or three thousand miles away from the bridgehead of the Wehrmacht, the place where supplies are concentrated.

And rockets, everyone's the same, it's not enough.

If Wei Xiuzhi had a hundred and eighty thousand rockets at hand, he would have let the rocketeers play high-density consumption with the opponent, and after the rockets in Rumyantsev's hand were exhausted, the Wehrmacht would be able to easily eat this Russian army.

There is no need to attack with soldiers at all. It is enough to bombard with rocket artillery.

He didn't have many rockets in his hand, and he didn't know the exact number of rockets left in his opponent's hands, so he didn't want to mess up the trick, because he ran out of rockets in his hand, and the enemy still had some left, which would be too unfriendly.

Wei Xiuzhi can only use it in moderation, at least until the supply line in the rear is connected, and he can squander it without restraint.

Wei Xiuzhi ordered someone to make that very earthy flying thunder cannon. Because this thing can replace rockets to a certain extent. It's great to change places with a cannon, and the barrel of the cannon is not just gone.

In fact, at this moment, the troops stationed in the great northwest, western Gansu, southern Xinjiang, and northern Xinjiang have been successively mobilizing to the western Siberian and Kazakh steppes, including a certain number of Mongolian cavalry. The latter troops were divided into two routes, one part for the Kazakh steppe, and the other for the early Siberian sweeps.

Taking advantage of the short summer in Siberia, the Mongol cavalry was tasked with sweeping away everything they saw with their eyes the Russians and Tatars.

And on the battlefield in the area west of the Ob River, the Wehrmacht really did its best.

The transportation of materials in this era was too touching, so part of the livestock and rations were provided by the Kazakhs, but it was impossible for military supplies such as ammunition to be produced in the Kazakh steppe. There it was necessary to set off from Ili, the material base in the rear, and travel thousands of miles or nearly 10,000 miles all the way, laboriously transporting them to the front line.

So, in this case, the steps of the Wehrmacht are really not suitable for crossing the Ural Mountains and the Ural River.

Napoleon's example is always wary of Chen Ming's.

The war is now in time, and the Wehrmacht's arms are going to stretch forward again, which is really going to strain the muscles.

The troops have reached their limits. Wise people won't let them move on!

Which is the biggest or the smaller of the possible benefits and the threats that are about to be faced?

Seriously, compared to the slow-moving infantry, Wei Xiuzhi really likes cavalry now.

The previous Emperor Chen had been working hard to build cavalry troops, but after the battle, he found that it was still not enough.

Many of the cavalry units of the Wehrmacht are used as escort units for transport units or police units for transport lines, because compared with the vassal cavalry, Chen Ming certainly believes in his own people who have been trained by himself.

As a result, the regular cavalry of the Wehrmacht was able to use the forces of the battlefield, which was still not satisfactory.

If he could have 350,000 fully equipped and well-trained Wehrmacht cavalry units in his hands at this time, he could kill the old Maozi who vomited three liters of blood.

It's just a pity that this timing.

……

The city of Nanjing is still prosperous. During the filial piety period of the Empress Dowager, the city of Nanjing immediately returned to its former liveliness.

There has been no curfew in this place for a long time.

In the past, the Qinhuai River was a river that never sleeps. Singing and dancing, fun-seekers can play all night here.

There was an incident before, not only did the benefactors dare not come to the door, but even the red mansion of the flower boat in the Qinhuai River did not dare to open.

At the end of March, once the filial piety period passed, it was really an infatuated man and a woman, dry firewood, and out of control.

……

Luoyang Palace.

The pomegranates in the garden are in bloom and the weather is getting hot.

Zheng stood in the room with a fan and looked out the window, and the sun 'shone' the stone slabs outside white.

"It's been a wickedly hot day this year." It's only April.

The maidservant next to her listened to it and came in with an iced sour plum soup, "The princess will use a bowl." ”

"Did you send them ice to the prince?" Zheng asked as he took the sour plum soup.

"It's been sent. The prince asked people to reply that there was no need to send it to the logistics department, and our own family should not be enough. It's very hot this year, it's April, and the hot days are still long. ”

"In this kind of weather, they are crowded with a room full of people, and if there is no ice, who can survive it. As far as the welfare of the logistics department is concerned...... Zheng shook his head, although the logistics department is in charge of the grain and baggage of more than one million people and horses in the whole army, and the silver in their hands is only comparable to that of the Ministry of Finance, but this does not mean that they can squander it at will. On the contrary, the treatment of the logistics department is even worse than that of the general staff.

And the treatment of the General Staff is one layer worse than that of the Cabinet and the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

But what time is it? Several younger brothers are already adults, and the threat to Chen Ding is getting bigger and bigger. Difficult times have really come, so when you do something, you must learn to be tactful. To put it bluntly, if you want to be more proficient, you have to think of it.

Chen Ding said so, but this ice delivery still has to be sent, I don't want Chen Ding's colleagues to really be collected by such a small favor, I just ask that Chen Ding's reputation can be better and so lost.

——Fighting for the throne, any negligence must not be allowed, reputation is very important.

And to be a man and establish a reputation, you must start from small things, little by little.

Chen Ding is not the eighth child who learns Kang Mazi, but he can't learn from Yong Laosi to be a cold noodle king.

Now, the war in the northeast has come to an end, but the fighting in the northwest is still in a state of white-hot. The logistics department is busy. Up to the top of the hand, down to the small clerk, the busy ones are like spinning tops, they are rotating on a continuous axis.

After Chen Ding came out of the hot filial piety, he was thrown to the logistics department by his father, and it has been half a month now, but it was only four nights to go home. Now I've been working overtime for five days in a row, and I don't even have a sure time when I'll be able to go home, except for having people come back to pick up my clothes.

The busyness of the logistics department can be imagined.

"Princess, the prince said that there are already several directors and directors of the logistics department who are tired, not to mention the petty officials below, who are busy with their feet and don't even have a rest, who can stand it? I'm tired of a lot of them. But Xu Guogong asked people to call the doctor from the Tai Hospital, and he was directly treated in the logistics department, and no one was allowed to go home to take a breath. Now some people say that Xu Guogong is a living Yama. ”

Zheng's face did not fluctuate, his father had been the Minister of Mail, Transport and Sports for four or five years, and he had been a cabinet boss for four or five years, and of course he knew how huge the material and energy used in this war was, and how hard it was for the Ministry of Transport to ensure the war of 120,000 troops.

She drank the sour plum soup and said, "Ask someone to make two more pots of herbal tea, and wait until four or five o'clock to send it over." After that, it will be delivered every day, just like ice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Let the doctor prescribe a few doses of medicine to relieve heat and fatigue. ”

Since Xu Guogong Chen Quan didn't let go, Chen Ding could only stay in the logistics department. Zheng also reflected this opportunity and sent ice and tea to it. Anyway, the 'scope' she sent was only limited to Chen Ding's department, although the amount would be more, but it was far from the entire logistics department. Outsiders can't say that her husband is trying to attract people's hearts.

Chen Ding's mind was clear before she got married.

As soon as this marriage is completed, her mother's family is inseparable from the eldest son of the emperor.

Of course, Zheng also hopes that one day her husband can become a great treasure, so that she can also sit on the throne of the 'queen' that all women in the world want to aspire to, and the mother of the world.

But Zheng knows very well that she can't interfere with this kind of big thing. Even if she has a lot of books and has been studying for several years, especially focusing on some history books, she still can't interfere in men's affairs. Unless she can also enter the government system and become a female official.

But how is that possible.

The only thing Zheng can do is to actively behave in front of the emperor and empress, actively behave in front of his younger brothers and sisters, and at the same time not lose points for his husband, he also tries to help his husband as much as possible, and earns more points for his husband in front of his in-laws as much as possible.

This kind of 'grievance' is not her character in essence. But now she is the eldest princess of the emperor and the princess of Luoyang, and she will never be able to get out of it again.

What personality and petty temper are all dispelled in the face of cruel reality.

What Zheng can express is the image of a 'good wife and good mother' in traditional Chinese culture that is recognized by the majority of 'audiences'.

For a noble girl who has enjoyed wealth since birth and has never been wronged, this is sad, but it is necessary.
