However, instead of worrying about the city of Omsk, Yegorov worried all the way about the Ishim Line and those Soviet Russian troops outside the city of Omsk. Since the White Russian army entered Novosibirsk, Soviet Russia's control of Siberia is these three lines of defense. Moreover, there are nearly 70,000 soldiers of Soviet Russia and 200,000 people requisitioned from the country on the first two lines of defense, and these manpower and territory are not something that Yegorov can lose if he says he can lose them, as long as there is still hope, Yegorov hopes to be able to recover.

After departing from Tyumen, Egorov and his party, who had made up their minds to go to the city of Ishim first, marched directly to the east.

At this time, Yegorov and his party had already driven for dozens of hours in the Ishim Plain, and the distance from the city of Ishim was less than three hundred miles, and the fastest should be able to reach it in one day.

Along the way, Yegorov was in a hurry, and along the way, although Yegorov and his party also happened to encounter three teams, the other party was not the White Russian army, and the two sides just exchanged information and passed by. Yegorov's troops were all cavalry, and they were also riding in two people, and they marched extremely fast, and if they took these teams that were withdrawn from the front with bottles and cans, the speed would be snails.

Egorov casually pointed to a place and asked them to assemble, but he himself continued in a hurry. The news I got along the way can be described as a mountain of defeat. Due to the successful attack on the city of Ishim from inside and outside, the White Russian Western Expeditionary Army tore apart the Soviet Russia's Ishim defense line. But the offensive of the White Russian army is still second, and the Soviet Russian army, which has lost its unified leadership, is ready to withdraw to Tyumen, some are ready to defend on the spot, waiting for new instructions, and some are ready to attack on their own and recapture the city of Ishim.

Due to the backwardness of communications in this era, Soviet Russia and White Russia all belonged to Russia's armed forces, and no one could distinguish who was without that layer of military uniform, so the entire White Russian vanguard and the two defense lines of Soviet Russia, except for the 17,000 people stationed in the city of Omsk, more than 100,000 people were all mixed together, and they could not distinguish each other or could no longer distinguish each other.

"Stop!" Although during this day, the group was on the Ishim Plain and could be said to be ignorant of the situation in the outside world, but according to the information obtained from the feedback, coupled with the rout of the armies of all directions, this group of people can guess what kind of turmoil has been rolled up on the two lines of defense of the Soviet Russian army at this time just by thinking about it with their toes. At the same time, the news of the loss of the line was no longer confined to the upper echelons of the ranks, and even though the troops were not allowed to talk during the march, the occasional break allowed the news to spread like wings to the ranks of three thousand. And at this moment, after seeing that Yegorov got the information of the sentry in front, he suddenly reacted like this, and the whole team immediately looked a little nervously towards the direction that Yegorov was looking at.

Just a few breaths, a sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of war horses came from afar, and several knights dressed as Soviet and Russian cavalry appeared in everyone's sight.

And behind these knights, they were followed by dozens of Mongolian cavalry with hundreds of war horses.

"Behind are the Mongol cavalry, it seems that they are the reconnaissance cavalry of the other side, chasing our people."

Everyone's expressions were visibly relieved. At this moment, although they are still far away, they can't see the faces of those knights clearly, but looking at the very hasty appearance of the knights in front, it is obvious that the group of Mongolian cavalry in the rear is desperately fleeing. Moreover, after the Mongol cavalry saw Yegorov's Soviet Russian brigade, they did not pull out their horses and ran, but still approached unhurriedly, until they reached two or three thousand meters of the team, and then turned at a trot.

After a while, the knights who fled in a hurry could almost see their faces, all of them were men in the prime of their thirties and forties, but they were all wearing tweed military uniforms or leather jackets, judging from the style of these military uniforms and leather coats, it seemed that these knights were all knights of the same army. "Who are you?" Someone on Yegorov's side shouted like this.

However, before Yegorov's side could respond, the other party had already shouted, "You can't let these Mongolian cavalry go, they will attract more enemies!" ”

"These knights are not bad, you go and help them deal with those Mongols, and by the way, find out some news." Originally, Yegorov just watched the arrival of these knights with an expressionless and cold face, but after hearing the shouts of these knights, Yegorov's face softened, and he said this to the rest of the people.

When encountering opponents who are stronger than themselves, some knights may be directly defeated if they have no intention of fighting and only care about fleeing in a hurry and being chased by the enemy. For this kind of deserter, Yegorov naturally did not have a good feeling, maybe he was killed easily, with the heart of the army. But now it seems that these few riders still have the will to fight.

Ignoring the Mongol cavalry who fled far away, Yegorov's side had already chased dozens of horsemen after seeing the other side fleeing. And the knights in front of him were quickly disarmed and brought to Yegorov, watching them escape from death, and still a little dumbfounded, Yegorov asked lightly. "Where are you on the team?"

"We are reconnaissance cavalry sent by the city of Omsk. I don't know the number of your department, thank you for saving your life today. Hearing Yegorov's question, the leading strong man suddenly came back to his senses, and when he saw that the other party was wearing the uniform of a senior officer, he did not dare to salute in the slightest and replied.

"Scout cavalry sent by the city of Omsk?" Yegorov glanced at the knights, "We are a team sent by Tyumen to respond, and your reconnaissance cavalry from the city of Omsk has run to the west of the city of Ishim?" After saying this again, Yegorov looked at the cavalrymen, and did not ask how the knights could be pursued by the Mongols, but then said to the left and right, "These are all White Russian spies, and they are all killed." ”

"Sir, we're not spies, you are the team sent by Tyumen to respond? We were sent out to you. Hearing that the other party didn't say a word, he was about to pull them all down and kill them, and these reconnaissance cavalry who claimed to be sent by Omsk City were all panicked. It's one thing to die in battle, to be regarded as a spy by your own people, and then all of them are killed, then you will die too unjustly.

"Looking for us?" Yegorov was slightly gloomy, stopped left and right, looked at the leading knight and asked.

"Yes, sir. In fact, we were ordered by the commander of the city defense of Omsk to go to Tyumen to report the news. This is the warrant of our city defense commander. After the leading knight finished speaking, he immediately tore off his coat, took out a letter from the compartment, and handed it over.

After confirming the letter on the warrant, Yegorov's brows suddenly frowned imperceptibly, this is a letter from Omsk asking for help, although there are only a few sentences in the letter, but Omsk mentioned a problem, most of the food in the city has disappeared inexplicably, and it can only last for a month and a half. That is to say, if the Tyumen Russian army could not drive under the city of Omsk within a month and a half and open up the grain route, then Omsk would have to surrender except for starvation.

Glancing at the Omsk scout in front of him, Yegorov asked angrily, "Then what do you say about the current situation in Omsk City?" We want to go to the city of Ishim now, do you know what large forces of the enemy have been around the city of Ishim lately, and whose hands is it now? ”

"A large force?" The knights were slightly stunned, and after glancing at each other, the leading strong man said with some hesitation, "I don't know which direction you commanders want to inquire about the large force in which direction?" We were in Ishim last night and know something. ”

"What do you mean by a large force in which direction? You were still in Ishim last night? What trouble will we have all the way to Ishim? Egorov looked at the knight and asked, "I wonder if there are still many White Russian cavalry activities around this Ishim?" ”

Hearing Yegorov's repeated questions, the reconnaissance cavalry of Omsk organized their language and replied, "A total of 65 people in our company broke through before the siege of Omsk three days ago, and a total of 14 teams like ours were sent at that time, and we don't know whether there will be any more dispatches later." But right now, we're breaking through all the way, and we're the only ones left here, and we don't know where the other teams are going. Speaking of this, the leading strong man glanced at Yegorov and found that the other party did not show impatience, so he continued, "Before we broke through, there were two waves of troops from the city of Omsk, the first wave was only about 20,000 people, all of them were cavalry, and the second wave was about 50,000 people, and it was still mainly cavalry, but many of the cavalry were already on camels, and there were many carriages that followed the army. The siege was the third wave, with 150,000 men, most of whom were infantry, and should have been the main force of the White Russian army, because they saw a large number of accompanying artillery. However, last night when I was in the city of Ishim, I heard that there was another wave of about 150,000 people, which crossed the city of Omsk and went straight to Ishim. Oh! By the way, the city of Ishim has been recaptured by our troops, and we only left there yesterday. ”

"Recaptured?"

"Yes, it is said that their 20,000 cavalry has already broken through the city of Ishim, taking advantage of the fact that our army has not reacted, they continue to break through the surrounding cities with the old routine of opening the city gates, while the 50,000 troops behind them are responsible for tearing the Ishim defense line from two directions, so there are not many white Russian troops left in the city, so one of our infantry regiments recaptured the city of Ishim yesterday evening." Hearing that Ishim had been recaptured, Yegorov's face did not change much. Seon was lost, and the Ishim line was blossomed in the center, and the breakthrough in one fell swoop caused Egorov to lose sleep for several days.
