"You're so right! Even if it does not cause a mutiny, it will severely affect the morale of the army. In this way, we will be able to easily defeat these yellow-skinned monkeys who do not know the height of the sky, and let them know the power of our Great Russian Empire. Andreev shouted excitedly. Of course, these are considered from the perspective of the overall situation, and robbing this salary will greatly damage the enemy's morale, and it will be very beneficial for the Russian army to completely defeat the Qing army. And Andreev is not completely selfless, is that a few million taels of silver? Who can not be thrilled in the face of such a large sum of silver! Therefore, whether it is out of public or selfish intentions, it is very important to grab this silver.

"Sir, wise!" The adjutant replied respectfully.

"Immediately send an order to go down, intensify the offensive, be sure to destroy this hateful group of yellow-skinned monkeys as much as possible, and order the men of the Second Division to come to reinforcements as soon as possible. If we snatch the Tiger Army's money, they will definitely not give up, so we must also prepare for a big battle. Andreev ordered coldly, obviously Andreev's mind at this time was still very clear, the importance of this silver to the Tiger Army, they themselves would not be unclear, they would definitely not let this silver fall into their hands so lightly, but Andreev was not too worried, because with the speed advantage of the Goksa cavalry, as long as they wanted to escape, the Tiger Ben Army without cavalry could not do anything at all.

Of course, Andreev didn't think about whether this was a conspiracy or not, but then he thought, who would be stupid enough to use a few months' salaries of the army at the front as bait? It's crazy, it's too risky! If something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable. In short, he Andreev would not be stupid enough to do such a thing, but he forgot that his opponent Ren Chao has the nickname of a madman, this nickname is not in vain, this guy is indeed a madman, a madman who does everything.

In fact, as early as when discussing this plan to lure the enemy, someone proposed it to Ren Chao. In fact, you don't really have to spend so much money as bait. It's completely possible to only hold a small part of the silver, anyway, Lao Maozi won't go one by one to check whether the boxes contain silver. However, Ren Chao insisted on using the five million taels of silver as bait, hoping to create some pressure on the troops, and at the same time, Ren Chao was confident enough to defeat these Cossacks. Don't forget that Ren Chao still has the powerful golden finger of the system, if the shape is critical, Ren Chao can directly summon tens of thousands of troops to intercept the Cossacks and keep this batch of silver. This is also the reason why Ren Chao pressed his command headquarters on this barren mountain not far from the battlefield, just to prevent this kind of unexpected situation from happening, of course, Ren Chao will not do it unless it is absolutely necessary.

At this time, a fast horse galloped forward. The Cossack cavalry on horseback ran all the way to Andreev and said loudly, "Report to the commander, the main forces of the 2nd Cavalry Division are on their way, according to which there are only less than five miles!" In addition, other troops are also stepping up to this side. ”

"Good!" Andreev nodded with satisfaction, "Inform the Second Division that they don't have to come here." Fortify the area around Dagangzi, and tell them that they must hold Dagangzi anyway, and that it will be the only way for our Goksa cavalry to retreat. Once the Qing army is allowed to occupy it, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Yes!" The Goksa cavalryman replied respectfully, turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Andreev is not a hot-headed fool like Ivan who gets excited at the sight of silver, on the contrary, Andreev is an excellent commander of the Russian army. Among the generals of the Russian army, who were generally incompetent at that time. Andreev's strategic and tactical vision is definitely rare. In the first battle outside the city of Jilin, the Coksa cavalry suffered heavy losses, and it was Andreev who took the lead in proposing the advantage of being able to use the strong mobility of the Cossack cavalry. The constant harassment of the Tiger Army's logistical supply lines has resulted in obvious results. The sneak attack of the Goksa cavalry made the Tiger Ben army already very heavy logistical pressure. It became heavier. In particular, Andreev continued to improve his tactics, causing severe losses and huge troubles to the Tiger Army, which led Ren Chao to make up his mind to get rid of the Cossack cavalry at any cost.

As soon as Andreev arrived at Majiagou, he carefully studied the local terrain, and anyone with a little strategic vision could see that this place was very unfavorable to the Goksa cavalry. Because if the Cossack cavalry wanted to evacuate from the Majiagou area, there was only one main road to go, and that was to take Dagangzi. Although there were still two trails, they were both rugged and difficult mountain roads, and the road conditions were so poor that they were not suitable for a large army to walk at all, which meant that it was impossible for a large Cossack cavalry to retreat from these two paths. It was because of this understanding that Andreev did not let the follow-up reinforcements rush to Majiagou, but they fortified in the area of Dagangzi, just to prevent that in case the reinforcements of the Tiger Army arrived, as long as Dagangzi was occupied, then the main force of the Cossack cavalry in Majiagou would become a turtle in the urn, and the consequences would be self-evident.

What's more, in terms of the terrain of Majiagou, even if there are more people who come, they can only watch dryly, and there is only such a large place in the valley, and the number of troops put into battle each time is only a few hundred or a thousand at most, and the large army cannot be used at all. Otherwise, a second-rate transport brigade, with only a thousand troops, would not be able to withstand the repeated onslaught of thousands of Cossack cavalry, even with the addition of more than 3,000 people.

"Humph! Don't stop! Continuing to intensify the offensive, I would like to see how long these yellow-skinned monkeys with pigs' tails can hold out. Andreev said with a sneer. The pig's tail that Andreev refers to naturally refers to the hairstyle that was unique to men in the Qing Dynasty at that time. Shaved in front and long braids in the back, this bizarre hairstyle has always been the laughing stock of gringos who ridiculed the ignorance and backwardness of the Chinese people, and was jokingly called the pig's tail by foreigners.

In fact, from an objective point of view, what kind of hairstyle you wear has nothing to do with ignorance, backwardness, or advanced civilization. But having such a big braid does bring a lot of inconvenience to people's lives. Especially as a soldier, whether in daily life or in battle, this big braid that has no effect does bring a lot of trouble. Therefore, after Ren Chao took charge of the government, he soon issued an order to cut braids, and all active soldiers must cut their braids. However, Ren Chao did not take any coercive measures in the people, but he also issued relevant decrees to allow people to wear various hairstyles. Ren Chao believes that with the passage of time and the gradual change of people's ideas, it will not be long before most people will take the initiative to cut off this extra braid.
