Bawangtan, the temporary headquarters of the Western Road Coalition Army.

"What, how is that possible?"

Major General Nikola Cage, the commander of the Western Road of Tsarist Russia, looked at Jiang Youxiao, the commander of the Qing army, and Pan Jiaotingxie, the Qing army, with a distrustful face, the whole army was annihilated, and he didn't even ask for help, so, how could it be?

In fact, when Jiang Youxiao just heard it, he was also a little unconvinced, because what he told him was a few deserters who were captured, so Jiang Youxiao sent his henchmen to investigate, and it was confirmed that there was indeed a large army stationed on Moziling, but it was not a Qing army, and asked the people in the surrounding villages, and it was also confirmed that in the morning, there was indeed a big battle here.

"General Cage, is it necessary for me to lie about this kind of thing?"

Jiang Youxiao is really going crazy, he is from the orthodoxy of the first grade, if he really wants to talk about the level, if it is according to the Western-style military rank, the orthodox is almost equivalent to the lieutenant general, and the position may be higher than Nicola Cage, but now this status is eight thousand miles away, and what is even more sad is that he is obviously the one who helps the war.

"Okay, I'll let someone find out about this." Nikola Cage said flatly, and after finishing speaking, he didn't even look at Jiang Youxiao, there is no doubt that this is an eviction order.

"General Cage, don't you have anything to say about the loss of a group of soldiers and horses by my subordinates?" Jiang Youxiao said angrily.

More than 4,000 people, these are their own Danyang veterans, I dare not say that they have experienced a hundred battles, but in the Qing army system, they can also be regarded as elite, and now they are so unclear that there is no co-ordination, and what is even more odious is that this commander-in-chief actually ignores it, this attitude is too sad, right?

"Oh, General Chiang, what do you want me to say?" Nikola Cage glared at Jiang Youxiao and asked.

When Jiang Youxiao saw Nikola Cage's tough attitude and tone, he suddenly felt a little weak, it's okay, there is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, Jiang Youxiao came with the team, but eating and drinking, and even the supply of ammunition, these all depend on Tsarist Russia, this thousands of miles away, where can he Jiang Youxiao find food and drink for his subordinates.

"Ahem, that, that, General Cage." Jiang Youxiao was silent for a long time before he continued: "Look, it's like this, now that Moziling is occupied by the Black Dragon Army, that is, the road to the north for us is blocked, I mean, I just want to ask General Cage, what should we do next?" ”

Nikola Cage saw that it was not easy for Jiang Youxiao to grovel, no matter how he said that this was also the real power figure of the Qing army, and he lost more than 4,000 horses in the morning, so he muttered for a moment before he said: "Since Moziling is occupied by the Black Dragon Army, and our soldiers are extremely tired, then let's just rest for two days, you can rest assured, after two days, the Black Dragon Army will inevitably retreat without a fight." ”

"Retreat without a fight?" Jiang Youxiao was a little puzzled.

"Hehe, in fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you, we have a garrison in the Hu*Lun*Be*er grassland, well, and a unit of your Qing army, which is expected to arrive in Murgen City within two days, they are coming from the western grassland, and they will arrive in Murgen City, at that time, the Black Dragon Army left in Moziling, in order not to be attacked on both sides, will naturally take the initiative to evacuate." Nikola Cage said.

"This?"

Jiang Youxiao has been for a long time, and he can't say a word, he originally wanted to say, in this case, what are you sending my soldiers and horses out for, everyone has a good rest for two days, and has enough mental and physical strength, isn't it better to fight again?

But if Jiang Youxiao said so, Nikola Cage would definitely say, I just let your people seize it, if you find that it has been occupied, you can go back, and you don't let your people have to fight to the death, besides, more than 4,000 people say no, what does this mean, it can only show that your Qing army is incompetent.

Therefore, Jiang Youxiao was stunned for a long time, and finally could only swallow the words in his heart, and originally wanted to remind him to be careful of the other party's night attack on the camp, and he must strengthen the vigilance work at night, but as soon as he saw Nikola Cage's dead eyes, and thought that the vigilance work inside and outside was also done by Tsarist Russia, Jiang Youxiao simply closed his mouth, and then left this annoying camp directly.

However, after Jiang Youxiao returned to his barracks, he quickly summoned all the officers above the standard under his command, reported the situation of Pan Jiaoting's department, and emphasized that the Black Dragon Army in this battle is not not a fuel-efficient lamp, if it is encountered, it may be a hard battle, and warns the people under his command not to underestimate the enemy, especially tonight, in addition to the vigilance of Tsarist Russia, around his own military camp, he must send enough people to patrol the night, and even require officers and soldiers at all levels to sleep in clothes and so on.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, as the last group of Qing soldiers were sent by the convoy and successfully landed at Bawang Beach, it was announced that the strategy of transporting troops of the Western Route Coalition Army was successfully completed.

If not, the Qing army lost a group of soldiers and horses in the battle of Moziling in the morning, and at this moment, the commander-in-chief of Nikola Cage and the Qing army were all in command of Jiang Youxiao, and they should have feasted all the soldiers to celebrate their achievements, but unfortunately, the first battle was lost, and neither Jiang Youxiao nor Nikola Cage were in a relaxed mood.

Don't look at Nikola Cage, when facing Jiang Youxiao, it seems to be very ordinary, but in fact, Jiang Youxiao left his barracks with his front foot, and Nikola Cage immediately summoned all the generals above the regimental level in Tsarist Russia for pre-war general mobilization.

In the words of Nikola Cage, the defeat of the Qing army's Panjotin Brigade in the morning was a typical Black Dragon Army-style battle.

What's a typical Black Dragon Army-style battle?

That is, the troops participating in the battle were defeated, but they didn't know how they were defeated, the whole army was annihilated, and they were eaten by the other party, and they couldn't even save the rescue, which is a typical Black Dragon Army-style battle.

To tell the truth, Nikola Cage, when he heard that Pan Jiaotingxie's entire army was annihilated, he was afraid in his heart, at that moment, he felt scared, of course, he covered it up very well, and did not let Jiang Youxiao, the commander of the Qing army, find the slightest clue, after all, he is the commander of the Western Route Alliance, if he let the Qing army know that he is afraid, then how can this battle be fought? How else could he command the Qing army?

"Hey, I originally thought that the Western Route Alliance Army would be able to get a little cheap, at least be able to arrive at Aihui smoothly all the way and arrive at the lair of the Black Dragon Army, it seems that it is an extravagant hope, the Black Dragon Army is indeed a powerful team."

This is a sentence that Nikola Cage inadvertently sighed in the conference room, the East and West Coalition Coalition Colleagues landed, and the East Road landed in the area of Aihun Mao Village, which is less than 100 kilometers away from the Black Dragon Army's lair wolf domain, it stands to reason that the appearance of the East Route Coalition Army should attract most of the energy of the Black Dragon Army, so far away, the West Route Coalition Army that landed on Morgen Overlord Beach should be able to go north all the way unimpeded, but as a result, obviously, Nikola Cage thinks that he still underestimates the Black Dragon Army.

Fortunately, underestimating the price paid by the Black Dragon Army is a co-ordination of the Qing Army, so Nikola Cage feels very lucky, to be honest, no matter how many people the Qing Army dies, he will not have pressure, pull the Qing Army to participate in the war, why, isn't it just cannon fodder, do you still expect the Qing Army to help you win the battle, is this possible?

"Just now, I contacted the commander-in-chief, His Excellency Lieutenant General Kuzuosco, the Eastern Route Coalition Army is still in the process of forcibly crossing, but they have not encountered the attack of the Black Dragon Army, Lieutenant General Kuzuosco's advice to me is that I must try to put the checkpoint as far away as possible, arrange the number of troops on guard, and try to make as many troops as possible, and absolutely not give the other party a chance."

"Our army is extremely tired from coming from afar by boat, so tonight, we must especially prevent the Black Dragon Army from attacking the camp."

"Here, I propose that the checkpoint be pushed outward by another 1 kilometer, and the alert force will be increased to one brigade, Brigade Commander Sanders, your brigade is the second group to arrive, and it has been resting for most of the day now, I order your brigade, after dinner, to change guards with the Chels brigade, and take full responsibility for tonight's vigilance mission,......。"

The temporary camp of the West Road Coalition Army, mainly along the Nenjiang River, is distributed around Bawangtan, in a narrow area of about two kilometers long from north to south, and about several hundred meters narrow from east to west, and is divided into five relatively independent camps, which are basically a division of Tsarist Russia and a town of the Qing army, which is an independent camp.

Because the west faces the river, and the other side of the river is a lofty mountain, so there is no need to worry about the Black Dragon Army attacking from the opposite side, so their vigilance force is mainly arranged at several intersections in the east, so it is said that sending a brigade of more than 4,000 soldiers as a vigilance force, but it is definitely a big deal.

Night gradually fell, most of the soldiers after enjoying a relatively sumptuous dinner, finally able to rest, only the last group of Qing troops arrived, at the moment is still tidying up the camp, setting up temporary tents, etc., fortunately, outside the home, comrades-in-arms in the same town, many took the initiative to come to help, so that at about eight o'clock in the night, Bawangtan finally slowly restored the tranquility of the past, and soon, in this sky, in addition to the whirring wind, there was a thick snoring left.

They are so tired, more than ten days of piglet life, so that most of the people feel exhausted, compared to the bumpy cargo ship, the land under their feet, people feel extraordinarily down-to-earth and cordial, many soldiers, almost just lying down, then sounded the earth-shattering snoring.

Thundered!

Thundered!

Thundered!

Sometimes, it is very difficult to get a good night's sleep.

No, at about ten o'clock in the night, a round of fierce artillery suddenly sounded, instantly shattering the sweet dreams of countless soldiers.

"Recursive."

"Enemy attack."

One camp after another, one soldier after another, at the moment of the sound of the cannon, they stood up, picked up their weapons and rushed out of the camp tent, and those who took off their clothes were in a hurry to find clothes, and the entire coalition camp was in chaos, and torches were slowly lit.

And then what about the enemy?

Isn't it an artillery attack?

When most of the soldiers came out dressed and carrying steel guns, they suddenly found that the shelling had stopped, so they were stunned one by one, and they didn't know whether to go back to sleep or what?

In the Tsarist temporary headquarters, nearly half an hour after the artillery attack had passed, the brigade commander of Major General Sanders, who was in charge of vigilance, finally hurried to the headquarters.

"Brigadier Sanders, what the hell is going on, I think the place where the artillery fire is lit up should be three or four kilometers away, have you caught the attacker?"

Nikola Cage's eyes were also full of bloodshots, obviously, he was also very tired, he had traveled thousands of miles, no one was beaten by iron, and now he had just fallen asleep, but he was awakened by the sound of cannons, and it was strange that he was in a good mood.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, our brigade did put the cordon three kilometers away, and also sent a large number of secret sentinels, but the other side only released a round of artillery before withdrawing, and when our subordinates arrived, the opponent's artillery position was already empty." Sanders said helplessly.

"How is it possible, the sound of the cannons is obviously more than 105 mm caliber field artillery, and they are all big guys weighing several tons, are you crawling over to pursue them?" Nikola Cage roared.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, less than five minutes after the shelling, a group of nearby guards arrived there and confirmed that it was indeed an artillery position, and it was found that there were about twenty cannons." When Sanders said this, he was a little unconfident: "However, commander-in-chief, according to the report of my subordinates, there is no trace of the movement of the cannon wheels around the artillery position, as if, those cannons appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air?" ”

"How is that possible?" Nikola Cage glared at Sanders, but suddenly shook his head again, sat down a little dejectedly, took a deep breath, and then continued: "Sanders, you work hard, personally bring a few experienced artillerymen, and immediately go to the artillery position to find out what is going on, and in addition, let your soldiers be vigilant tonight, understand?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief."

As soon as Sanders left, Nikola Cage gave an order to Chuan: "Pass my order, just say that our artillery just went off, tell everyone to rest." ”

The shelling just now, because the distance was relatively far away, there were no accurate coordinates, and only a dozen shells were fired in one round of shelling, so the casualties caused were not large, only two Tsarist tents were more unlucky, and dozens of people were killed and wounded.

Therefore, after Nikola Cage's order was given, except for some of the more energetic soldiers who scolded for a while, the whole camp began to slowly return to calm, no way, it was too tired.

"Hehe, my heart is really big."

On a high ground about four kilometers southeast of the coalition camp, Yue Weihua was holding a telescope to carefully watch the camp, of course, except for the lights, the others must not be visible, but they can see the lights, which is an accurate target for the artillery.

"Have you adjusted the angles?"

After all the lights in the entire barracks were extinguished, Yue Weihua also put down the binoculars in his hand, and then came to the artillery position and asked.

"Hehe, commander-in-chief, rest assured, the next artillery attack will definitely not waste shells." Xiao Dazhu, the commander of the artillery battalion, said a little embarrassed, after all, after just a round of shelling, more than eighty percent of the shells fell into the Nenjiang River, even on the opposite side of the Nenjiang River.

"Well, but I want to remind you, combined with intelligence, the two relatively independent camps near the south belong to the Qing army, and in the next artillery attack, I don't want even a single shell to fall into the Qing army camp, understand?" Yue Weihua reminded again.

"Commander-in-chief, don't worry, it's definitely not." Xiao Dazhu Avenue.

"Well, it's eleven o'clock, let the soldiers squint a little, twelve o'clock, and the artillery attack on time." Yue Weihua ordered.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
