Five-three-eight, what a fire!
The team continued to move on, and sure enough, it didn't take long for them to come across the Russian patrols, which were separated by a large gap, roughly ten people in a group, whizzing by. When these patrolling cavalry saw them dressed from a distance, they were relieved and did not come up to interrogate, but they passed by on the side, but Nalan Ruojiang and the others were shocked into a cold sweat.
Shaoqing, but there was a patrol of cavalry passing by, Yao Yao shouted loudly, and said a few words loudly to this side, Nalan Ruojiang's hand clenched all of a sudden, she didn't know what those people were talking about, but if she ignored them to say hello, she would inevitably show her feet.
Her hand was pressed against her weapon, ready to give the order to break in.
It's only three miles away from the Russian camp, and it's just a matter of seconds!
Duoduo approached his horse and whispered, "General, I know their barbarian words very well, I'll say it!" β
Nalan Ruojiang stared at him deeply and nodded slightly.
Duoduo rode out on his horse, laughing and laughing at the parade cavalry, his voice spread far away, and I don't know how he learned it, he spoke with the same accent as those Cossack soldiers from the Caucasus, from the Don, from the Great Plains of Ukraine. In order to see their faces clearly from afar, the cavalry laughed a few times, and then went far away.
Duoduo wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, let out a long breath, and he rode back, smiling and nodding to Nalan Ruojiang.
Nalan Ruojiang suddenly found that this kid was quite good-looking.
The crowd moved on. There was no more obstacle, and after a while, the barracks of the Russian army could be clearly seen.
Free more than 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of slaves, the area of the Russian camp is naturally very large, they also learned the Han people's method of camping and settling up a village, digging trenches around them, and behind the trenches is a fence made of wood. The area inside is very vast, and some of them are slaves anyway, and they are tired to death. Nothing is a pity.
The army transporting grain was still approaching, but when it was about thirty zhang, Nalan Ruojiang knew. It is impossible to hide it any longer.
Presumably, this grain was very important to the Russians, and a group of Cossack cavalry, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately greeted the grain delivery team.
It was only a matter of time before it was revealed.
Nalan Ruojiang suddenly ripped off the black cloak of the Cossack symbol he was wearing outside, raised his two golden hammers, and shouted loudly: "Jurchen warriors, get on your horse!" Kill me! β
Anyway, lead your own guards and kill them first!
"Kill!"
The Jurchen soldiers shouted one after another, and the sound shook all over the world.
The dismounted soldiers mounted their horses one after another, and they ripped off the camouflage outside. He drew his weapon and frantically beat his horse.
The tiger and leopard rode behind Nalan Ruojiang and Wan Yan Lie, and they came out first, followed behind Nalan Ruojiang and Wan Yan Lie, and killed the opposite side!
Take the tiger and leopard ride as the arrow. Thousands of Jurchen troops, trampling towards the Russian battalion!
And the friendly troops who carried their own food suddenly turned into enemies, and the Russians didn't even react!
The Jurchen army on the opposite side has already been slaughtered!
Thousands of people and horses, like dragons, actually give people an unbeatable feeling.
Before the more than ten Cossack cavalry who came up reacted, they were already overwhelmed by the tide of Jurchen army. After being shot to death by the tiger and leopard rider in front, he was trampled into a piece of flesh by the Jurchen army that came like a tide behind him.
The sentinels on both sides of the gate sounded the alarm bells, and the hurried bells rang in the camp. β¦,
At the same time, he shouted bitterly: "Sneak attack, the enemy is coming......
The Jurchen army had already broken into the camp gate, and countless hard arrows roared, nailing these sentries into hedgehogs, and the hard arrows continued to nail to the wooden sentry tower, making a 'du' and 'du' sound, and by the way, the sentry tower also turned into a monster full of feathered arrows.
After entering the gate, it is an open space, at the end of the clearing, what catches your eye is countless large and small tents, obviously, at this time, the Russians still have a certain gap between the ability to march and fight in the east and the east, the camp is very unsophisticated, the camp is very dirty and messy, large and small tents, can not distinguish the priority. Sewage flowed between the tents, the ground was littered with soldiers' excrement, and in some of the slightly cleaner open spaces, soldiers were sitting in groups, chatting and farting boringly, and many Jurchen slaves were doing hard work under the whips of Russian soldiers.
To the right, on the right hand side of the clearing, was a larger, more dilapidated lot, in which there was not even a tent, but a dirty, low, damp shack made of thatch and branches. On the left-hand side, it was heavily guarded, separated from the main camp by a fence, where many soldiers stood guard, and behind the fence were numerous spires, barn-like buildings.
Duoduo shouted to Nalan Ruojiang, "General, on the right is the slaves' quarters, and on the left is the barn. In the middle is the big camp, which is less than two miles from the big tent of the Chinese army of the Russians! β
However, he is very clear about his role, and only provides information objectively, and never interferes in any decision-making.
"Needless to say, of course, the horse stepped on the joint camp and killed the Chinese army!" Wan Yanlie burst into a loud roar.
"No way!" Nalan Ruojiang categorically rejected his suggestion and said in a deep voice: "The task given to us by the general is not to kill and injure the enemy, but to lure the enemy!" Don't miss the general's important things, besides, just rely on our people, relying on them to rush in without guard, but if you really kill all the way, you will definitely end up with the whole army annihilated! β
Wan Yanlie, who refuted the words, was speechless, and snorted coldly: "Then what do you say?" β
Nalan Ruojiang glanced at the Russian army camp, and after hearing the alarm bell, the entire Russian camp was boiling, and today was a rest day. Most of the Russian soldiers were resting in the tents, and now they all came out of the tents, took up their weapons, and rushed towards this side under the leadership of the officers.
The whole camp is like a chaotic ant nest, countless black ants rush out, although the chaos, but the power is absolutely not to be underestimated.
Once assembled by these Russian soldiers. Then there are only a few thousand people in his own body, and in the face of almost fifty times more than his own strength, there is no possibility of escape at all!
The Great Battalion of Russia. Like a behemoth monster that has just woken up, Nalan Ruojiang is very clear about his mission. It was to inflict great damage on it before it woke upβa pain so great that it was so painful that it was angry, and it hated itself so much that it gnashed its teeth!
In this way, the next step can be perfectly implemented.
She immediately made a decision, and said resolutely: "Go, go to the left!" β
"To the left? Grain and grass? Wan Yanlie glared at the bull's eye and asked loudly, "What are we going to do there?" β
"Just do what you are told, where is all this nonsense?" If it was usual, Nalan Ruojiang might explain a few sentences to him. How can I get free at this time? She pointed her golden hammer in the direction of the grain and grass warehouse: "Brothers, kill it!" β
"Kill!"
Thousands of people started to move, and under the order of Nalan Ruojiang, the entire cavalry team turned a not very big bend and headed towards the left side of the camp. The area where the grain and grass were stored was killed. β¦,
At this time, Kutuzov was at the front of the main battalion.
This Major General Mikhail Illarionovich Golenishev Kutuzov, who is only 30 years old this year, is one-eyed, but he is handsome and chic, and he is quite scheming.
He was ordered to come to the Far East - to lead the Bugret cavalry corps.
The Bugre Cavalry Corps is an establishment at the corps level. Ten pikemen regiments and ten light cavalry regiments, totaling 40,000 men, were a decisive force under Zakhrev.
Kutuzov was one of the most important generals under Zakhrev, and later he was appreciated by Zakhrev for his resourcefulness, although the last time the Tsar's 'one-eyed general's strategy failed, but not because the strategy itself was not good, but because they miscalculated the speed of the Jurchens, and then Zakhrev trusted him even more, and handed over the important position of military judge to Kutuzov.
The position of military judge can be said to be a high authority, and in this position, he basically wants to deal with whomever he wants, and he can be dealt with by directly placing a crime on him, especially in Europe, this position is often only under the commander of the army.
But this position is not easy to do, if you are not careful, you will offend people who should not be offended, and if some people commit things but do not deal with them, they will not be able to convince the public. Kutuzov can be said to be the most suitable candidate, he himself is of noble birth, his family has followed His Majesty the Tsar for many years, his father is a confidant of His Majesty the Tsar, although he is only a lieutenant general, he can enter and leave the court freely, and he himself is a rare outstanding figure among the sons and daughters of those gentlemen in Moscow. His identity itself has a considerable deterrent effect on those Muscovite gentlemen who come to the army to gild, and the strength in his hands is even more sufficient.
As a military judge, Kutuzov was patrolling the camp today, in case these resting soldiers caused any trouble, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the front of the camp, he heard the alarm bell ringing, and then he felt the ground vibrate violently, and when he looked up, the black Jurchen army had already been killed!
And when he saw the scene where the Jurchens turned to store grain and grass, Kutuzov's hands and feet were suddenly cold, the beautiful upturned black mustache on his upper lip shook violently, his hands trembled, his only remaining eye was full of despair, and only one voice in his heart kept echoing: "It's over!" Finished! It turns out that these damn Jurchen barbarians, the target turned out to be food! β
What is the most important thing for an army, an army with a total size of more than 170,000, an army that not only has a total size of more than 170,000, but also goes on expeditions hundreds or thousands of miles away from its base areas, without any logistical supply routes?
There is no doubt about food!
When the Russian army set out, one person brought less than ten days' rations, and by the time it reached the Jurchen Beishan defense line at that time, it was already exhausted.
After capturing the Beishan defensive line, a lot of grain was captured, enough to eat for a few days. The Russian army did not carry food, they fought wherever they went, they grabbed wherever they went, from Moscow all the way to Siberia, and that's what they did.
In fact, this method is also quite effective. As long as there is food where there are people, it is really not good, and you can still eat people!
And gradually going deeper into the Jurchen hinterland, they slowly found that it was becoming more and more difficult to collect grain.
The Jurchens were not the tribes they had conquered before, but a regional power with a unified regime and a unified organization. has the same order and banner, and while Yan Yeping retreated all the way south, she also gave orders to all the tribes and people along the way to move south. Some of the tribes who had resettled did not move away, but chose to stayβand at this time, the slave camp, which was less than 200 zhang away from Nalan Ruojiang and others, became their home. And more tribes are following orders. The whole clan moved south, and when they moved away, they naturally took away all the food, meat, and other things that could be taken away, and those who couldn't leave were also burned. β¦,
What the Russians got was nothing more than ruins.
The more difficult it is to requisition grain, and the further south it goes, the greater the pressure on this grain supply.
It's not yet time to start eating people!
This is also the reason why Wan Yan Yeping chose the Russian army's grain conscription team to start - even if the plan fails, at least it will reduce the grain reserves of the Russians and weaken their strength.
To know. At this time, the grain on the left side of the camp is all the belongings of the army!
Kutuzov's eyes immediately turned red, and he hissed and shouted: "Quick! Stop them! Everyone, go stop them! β
But it was already late.
The Jurchens, disguised as a team carrying grain, approached the camp without hindrance, and began to charge from them. The soldiers on the sentry tower have sounded the alarm until now, and it has only been sixty breaths.
Converted to the units of later generations, it is about a little more than a minute.
What can you do in a little more than a minute?
That is, it was only enough time for the soldiers who slept in their clothes to get up in a daze, and then relax and pick up their weapons and walk out.
Relying on the thousands of rangers outside, the Russians were really a little careless, and they still did not get used to the Eastern war routine.
At this time, Kutuzov was able to organize only a few hundred troops. And they can only eat ash behind the butt of the Jurchens.
At this time, there were only less than 1,000 Russian soldiers in front of the Jurchens.
Moreover, the guards of the granary are also foot soldiers, and they cannot compete with the Jurchen elite at all.
In the face of the Jurchen elite who came like a tide, these soldiers trembled, and some even threw down their weapons directly, pulled their legs and ran, and had no fighting spirit.
Thousands of Jurchen cavalry slammed into this weak defensive line.
The red tassel spear slapped down on the head, flew the waist knife, and smashed it on the head, as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, only to hear a muffled sound of the Karara, the entire skull was shattered, and the brains inside were already beaten to a pulp, but because there was a layer of flesh wrapped on the outside, the whole head was still intact. It's just that the pair of eyeballs are bulging high, almost pushed out by the high pressure inside.
The sharp thick-backed machete slashed at the neck, and the neck was cut off at the moment, the head flew up obliquely, the blood in the cavity continued to gush, and the corpse held the hand of the knife, and instinctively waved it twice, which was to fall to the ground.
Duoduo had just given Nalan Ruojiang the errand of his personal guard, and he knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he hurried to hurry up and work hard.
He was extremely powerful, and the heavy mace was wielding freely in his hand like a toothpick, harvesting human lives one by one. It was a bit too powerful to be able to use a heavy weapon to make such a heavy lift, but in just a moment, at least four or five people had already died under his mace.
The fragile line of defense was destroyed almost immediately.
They just let the torrent of the Jurchens stop for a moment, and then they rushed by, and the Russian soldiers who stood in their way were either killed or scattered.
Faced with the fence, the Jurchens chose to rush hard, brandishing maces and thick-backed machetes, and stood heavily on the wooden fence, which shattered into pieces of wood and wood, and the whole fence opened a huge gap.
It was through here that the Jurchen armies swarmed in.
At this moment, there was nothing in front of them.
In front of me was a huge clearing. and the countless spired granaries on it! Each granary has a diameter of four zhang and a height of two zhang, and is made of wood, and the four sides of the granary are surrounded by reeds, and mats are also covered on them, so that they are easy to disassemble, and the reed mats are also enough to cover the moisture. Moreover, the bottom of the granary is also a foot high from the ground, so as to prevent the moisture from invading the granary. β¦,
But this way. But it also provided great convenience for these Jurchens.
A smile appeared on the corner of Nalan Ruojiang's mouth, and at this point, he planned a task on his side. It's basically done, can the rest of the strategy be completed, that sentence is to do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven!
She shouted, "Brothers, set fire!" β
"Fire prevention!" The soldiers shouted excitedly.
Murder and arson are two very exciting things.
They have been planning for this big event for a long time, and naturally they are well prepared, and everyone has several rockets in their quivers.
The soldiers lit rockets and rode their horses while shooting arrows at the granaries on either side.
The rocket made a blazing sound in the air. It was nailed straight to the top of the granary.
The materials of the granary, wood, reeds, and reed mats, are all extremely flammable things, and fireworks are strictly forbidden among them. Today, thousands of rioters are deliberately setting fires.
Soon the flame ignited the reed mat, set the wood on fire, and then it burned into it, and set fire to the sack of grain. Then, the grain was burned.
Food is also an excellent fuel.
In just a moment, one of the granaries turned into a huge flame, burning violently in the air.
The Jurchen army continued to gallop in the camp, galloping and shooting arrows, and soon, it was in this camp where grain and grass were stored that they went around, and almost all the granaries were shot by countless rockets, and then turned into huge fires.
Countless huge torches burned on the ground, and the scorching flames rose more than three feet high, and the white-white-gold flames brought extremely high temperatures, so that the air above was distorted and deformed.
The temperature rose extremely in an instant, and the Jurchen cavalry in it were all sweating profusely, and even the weapons in their hands became warm, and there was already a sea of fire all around.
And the rather time-consuming errand of burning grain and grass also gave the Russians enough time to react.
Nalan Ruojiang had already seen thousands of Russian soldiers, led by a one-eyed general with a beautiful mustache, killing this side, and the sound of popping horses' hooves also sounded, and the figure of the Cossack cavalry appeared in everyone's sight.
Nalan Ruojiang's heart sank, knowing that he had to leave at this time, otherwise, he would be stuck by those Cossacks, and he wouldn't be able to leave if he wanted to.
And before she could speak, Wan Yanlie yelled: "Brothers, kill me!" β
After that, he is preparing to fight the horse, and wants to turn back and fight the Russians. But he killed his red eyes, lost his temperament, and wanted to turn around and compete with those Russians!
Nalan Ruojiang said coldly: "What are you going to do?" β
"What to do? What do you say? Wan Yan Lie was made by Nalan Ruojiang everywhere today, and he also held his stomach, and shouted: "Now that this Russian is in chaos, why don't we take advantage of this good time to attack?" β
Nalan Ruojiang's eyes narrowed dangerously: "You dare to disobey the general's orders?" β
"I naturally know the general's orders, but I can't be so rigid, such a good opportunity, not at any time!" Wan Yan Lie turned around and shouted to the other soldiers, "Brothers, follow me to kill those dog mongrels, this is a great merit!" β
Most of those soldiers were his subordinates, although they were relieved of their military power by Wan Yan Yeping, but in the hearts of these soldiers, Wan Yan Lie had a very high prestige, and as soon as he was encouraged like this, many people were ready to move.
Seeing this, Wan Yanlie laughed very happily, but in an instant, his laughter froze, and his mouth opened wide, like a frightened hippopotamus.
A stream of autumn water rested on his neck, and the sharp blade even made his hairs stand on end, and a spirit was on his body.
This is the body's instinctive response to danger.
Wan Yanlie didn't dare to move, for fear of being cut his neck.
Nalan Ruojiang stared at him and said lightly: "What, now Lord Wanyan still wants to kill the enemy?" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
